  • Patent number: 9062440
    Abstract: A sanitary functional unit having a sleeve-shaped insert cartridge insertable into the pipe-shaped fixture outlet of a sanitary outlet fixture is provided. The insert cartridge has a water inlet at the cartridge circumference and a jet former having flow guiding walls oriented transversely to the cartridge longitudinal axis provided in the water outlet. The functional unit deflects the water jet flowing in from the axial direction such that water subsequently flows out of the fixture outlet in a nearly radial direction. The functional unit has a jet former, provided in the region of the water outlet, supporting flow guiding walls that are oriented transversely and perpendicularly to the cartridge longitudinal axis. Since the functional unit is oriented approximately coaxially to the fixture outlet, it also does not project beyond the pipe circumference of the fixture outlet.

  • Patent number: 9038927
    Abstract: A plumbing spout device which has a jet regulating device is provided, which is situated on an outflow side from an upstream attachment screen in a direction of flow. The jet regulating device is provided in the form of a perforated plate having at least a perforated field in at least a partial area thereof. The spout device has a mounting sleeve that supports the jet regulating device on an outflow side sleeve end area thereof, and the mounting sleeve is joined to the water spout of the plumbing spout fitment via a screwed, clip, detent, adhesive or welded connection. The spout device has a comparatively low installation height that does not significantly limit design possibilities when designing associated spout fitments. The spout device also makes it possible to achieve a high jet quality and a good jet pattern.

  • Patent number: 9010372
    Abstract: A changeover valve (1) including a valve housing (2), which has at least one inlet opening (3) and at least three outlet openings (4, 5, 6), of which outlet openings (4, 5, 6), by a changeover shaft (7) displaceably guided in the valve housing (2), one outlet opening can optionally respectively be assigned to the at least one inlet opening (3), two sealing elements (8, 9), which (8, 9) are displaceably guided on the changeover shaft (7) between two drivers (10, 11) and are kept at a distance from each other with the aid of at least one pressure element (12), a switching tube (13), which is displaceably guided in the valve housing (2) via two circumferential annular guide surfaces (14, 15) provided on the tube circumference thereof, and at least one switching tube opening (16) provided between the annular guide surfaces (14, 15).

  • Publication number: 20150102133
    Abstract: A jet regulator (100) including a jet regulator housing (2) is disclosed, in the housing interior of which a perforated plate (5) is provided with a plurality of flow-through holes (6) for dividing the through-flowing water. The jet regulator described is characterised in that at least one flow-through hole (6) extends conically towards its outflow side in at least one outflow-side hole section. It is also possible for flow obstacles to be provided on the outflow side of the perforated plate (5) in the jet regulator housing (2) and/or on the outflow front face of the jet regulator housing, which are arranged or concentrated there in a central or middle region and which deflect the through-flowing water into an outer annular zone. This jet regulator (100) enables an aerated and thereby sparkling-soft water jet to be generated even with low flow-through performance and low water pressure.

  • Patent number: 8991728
    Abstract: A plumbing outlet armature (2) with a liquid guide (3), which opens into a fitting outlet (4) in an area in which a plumbing functional unit (5) in the form of an insertion cartridge is provided. The outlet fitting is provided such that the clear open cross-section of the liquid guide (3) is adapted to the insertion cartridge (5) at least in the opening area of the fitting outlet (4), and the insertion cartridge (5) can be inserted into the fitting outlet (4) from the opening side and is removably held therein. The inventive outlet armature is characterized by the insertion cartridge being removably held in the fitting outlet (4) by a sleeve-shaped intermediate holder (6), which intermediate holder itself is removably held in the fitting outlet (4) by a screw or bayonet connection. The inventive outlet fitting (2) can be used with a jet regulator or with another plumbing functional unit (5) without any significant limitations of the structural clearance.

  • Publication number: 20150033464
    Abstract: A backflow inhibitor has a jet nozzle connectable to a flow entrance and has a capture part which captures the liquid jet that passes over a free jet path from the jet nozzle. The capture part is connectable or connected to a flow exit and to an outlet arranged below the free jet path. The outlet discharges a partial amount of liquid not captured by the capture part. The backflow inhibitor includes an insert cartridge which carries the jet nozzle and the capture part. In use, the insert cartridge is held such that the jet nozzle is connected to the flow entrance and the capture part is connected to the flow exit. The insert cartridge, in the cartridge section which is arranged between jet nozzle and capture part and which forms or delimits the free jet path, has at least one cartridge opening that can be connected to the outlet.
