  • Patent number: 9249564
    Abstract: A sanitary installation element that is arranged in a water line includes a mixing device with at least one throttling or closing element, which throttling or closing element can be moved under the pressure of the inflowing water from a mixing or open position into a throttling or closed position against a restoring force, wherein the mixing device offers a relatively large clear flow cross section when the at least one throttling or closing element in the mixing or open position, and, by contrast thereto, a reduced clear flow cross section when the at least one throttling or closing element is in the throttling or closed position. The installation element always offers an optimum flow cross section both in low and high pressure ranges.

  • Publication number: 20160024768
    Abstract: The insert with a rotating mesh for aerators in sanitary fixtures consists of the housing (1) of an insert, the rotating screen (5) and o-ring (6). The housing (1) of an insert has at its bottom part i.e. at the water outlet of the sanitary fixture, two bearings (2) made, the rim (4) for installing a flat sealing between the sanitary fixture and the body of aerator. The rotating mesh (5) has on its rim circumference, preferentially at the most extended part of the rotating mesh (5), i.e. at the extension of diameter of the mesh (5) two axles (7) positioned which fit into the bearings (2) in the housing (1) of the insert, and serve for axle fixing the rotating mesh (5) and thus enabling the rotation of the rotating mesh (5) around the axles (7); the rotating mesh (5) has on its outer circumference, in the upper part, a groove (11) cut, in which o-ring seal (6) is installed for sealing the rotating mesh (5) to the housing (1) of the insert. Optionally, the rotating mesh (5) can include on its circumference, i.

  • Publication number: 20160024769
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a sanitary insert unit, configured for insertion into a discharge fitting. The insert unit includes an upstream sieve connected to a throughflow regulator. The throughflow regulator includes a control gap and a throttle body that deforms under pressure to regulate throughflow by varying an opening size of the control gap. The sieve and throughflow regulator are arranged upstream of a jet diffusor which includes a plurality of radial openings. The sieve, throughflow regulator and jet diffusor are arranged to be, at least partially, received within a housing. The ratio of the overall height of the insert unit to the height of the height of the assembled sieve and throughflow regulator is approximately 2.7:1.

  • Patent number: 9243732
    Abstract: A manual spray head can be connected with a flexible hose line by means of a coupling that has a ball-and-socket joint inserted between the manual spray head and the hose line. This arrangement not only increases the mobility and flexibility between the manual spray head and the flexible hose line, but also permits twisting of the manual spray head relative to the hose line without fear of unscrewing the screw-type connection or similar coupling provided between the manual spray head and the hose line.

  • Publication number: 20160017580
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tap aerator (1) comprising a mounting housing and containing, in said mounting housing (2), an insert part that is designed as a jet divider and diffuser (7) which interacts with a diffuser ring (8). The annular retainer regions (7a) and (8a) of said diffuser (7) and diffuser ring (8), each arranged on the largest outer circumference, are located, when in a use position, in the interior of the mounting housing (2) at different height positions relative to one another in the axial direction, i.e. the retainer region (7a) of the diffuser (7) is not enclosed and the largest outer diameter of the diffuser ring (8) and its retainer region (8a) is only as large as, or if required even smaller than, the largest outer diameter of the diffuser (7) and its retainer region (7a). This allows the formation of an arrangement which saves space in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 9238906
    Abstract: A water-carrying line section having at least one aerating duct (2), the aerating duct (2), on the inlet side, having at least one duct opening (5) open to atmosphere and, on the outlet side, having at least one duct opening (6) that can be flushed by the water flowing past and/or is adjacent thereto, and in which aerating duct (2) a water jet aerator (7) is provided. The line section is characterized in that the water jet aerator (7) has a filtering or separating device (8) which is configured to be permeable to air in the direction from the at least one duct opening (5) on the inlet side toward the at least one duct opening (6) on the outlet side but is impermeable to water in the opposite direction. With the aid of the water jet aerator (7) which is used in the line section (1) and which serves to aerate the water flowing through a sanitary outlet fitting or the like, the undesired emergence of water can be prevented with certainty in any installation situation.

  • Publication number: 20160001307
    Abstract: An atomizer nozzle (1) for a sanitary water outlet, which atomizer nozzle (1) is intended for atomizing water under pressure. The characterizing feature of the atomizer nozzle (1) according to the invention is that the atomizer nozzle (1) has a swirl chamber (2), in which at least one feed channel (4) that is oriented transversely in relation to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle and runs approximately tangentially into the swirl chamber (2) opens out, wherein the swirl chamber (2) tapers in the outflow direction, in the direction of a nozzle channel (5). The atomizer nozzle (1) can be used to produce a water jet of a homogeneous jet pattern that gives the impression of a voluminous water jet in spite of having a low volumetric flow.
