  • Patent number: 8708252
    Abstract: A sanitary fixture with a mounting housing which has a thread for fastening to a mating thread provided on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. The mounting housing has a downstream housing end side with flow-through holes, and wherein at least one insertion part can be inserted into the mounting housing as far as an insertion stop. The fixture has an aerated jet regulator or is configured as such, so a circumferential wall of the mounting housing borders at least one aeration duct at least in a subregion of at least a double-walled configuration, and the at least one aeration duct, which is open towards the downstream housing end side, opens out in at least one aeration opening leading into the housing interior of the mounting housing.

  • Patent number: 8672244
    Abstract: A jet former (1), which can be fitted into the water outlet (2) of a sanitary outlet fitting and has at least one homogenizing device (3) with a multiplicity of throughflow holes (4), which are respectively enclosed by flow guiding walls (5). The jet former (1) has a greater jet width (1) in comparison with the jet depth (t) to create a flat water jet, by a flow guide (6) that tapers in a nozzle-like manner, at least in a partial region in the direction of throughflow, being arranged upstream or downstream of the at least one homogenizing device (3) and by the flow guide (6) having on both sides of its longitudinal extent edge regions (7, 8) with a greater throughflow cross section in comparison with the longitudinal center region (9).

  • Publication number: 20140059827
    Abstract: A method for cutting to length a piece of tube having an inner tube and an outer tube sheathing, the piece of tube being detached with the aid of a cutting tool at a cutting site in a plane oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent of the tube. The tube sheathing is surrounded by a severable tube fixing element, which covers over the intended cutting site before the piece of tube is detached using the cutting tool at the cutting site, and the tube fixing element completely encloses the outer tube sheathing in the circumferential direction. The tube fixing element is fixed on the tube sheathing and/or the tube enclosed by the tube fixing element is severed with the cutting tool such that a relative displacement of the tube fixing element with respect to the tube sheathing or of the tube sheathing with respect to the inner tube is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20140048626
    Abstract: A jet regulator, having a non-circular profile when viewed in a flow direction, is provided. The jet regulator includes a jet regulator housing configured to be inserted into a water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting from an outlet end side. The housing includes a latching part, which has at least one spring arm integrally formed on an outer periphery of the jet regulator housing, the at least one spring arm extending tangentially away from the housing, in the flow direction, toward a free arm end. The at least one spring arm is resiliently biased away from the housing.

  • Patent number: 8651401
    Abstract: A jet regulator or jet aerator is provided with a jet regulator housing insertable into a water outlet and detachably held therein by threaded or bayonet connection. The jet regulator housing has an outflow-side housing partial region with a reduced housing outer circumference compared to the inflow-side housing partial region, and the outflow-side housing partial region is insertable into an insert opening of a turning tool such that the turning tool can be applied to a tool working surface in a rotationally fixed manner. The tool working surface is provided on the outflow-side frontal edge, the housing circumference of the outflow-side housing partial region and/or an annular shoulder surrounding the housing partial region on the outside. A sanitary water outlet is also provided, which for a plurality of visibly separately emerging water jets has a corresponding plurality of water outflows spaced apart from one another.

  • Publication number: 20130341422
    Abstract: Sanitary throughflow element (1, 2, 30) which includes a throughflow rate regulator unit (5) having a carrier part (6) extending over the open cross section of a fluid line portion, the carrier part (6) having at least two inter-spaced insert openings (7) in which, respectively, a throughflow rate regulator (8) is arranged. Each throughflow rate regulator (8) has an elastic throttle body (9) which is round on the outer circumferential side in cross section and which delimits a control gap (10) between itself and a circumferential wall defining the insert opening (7). The throttle bodies (9) of the throughflow rate regulator (8) are compressed in the throughflow direction due to pressure of the through-flowing fluid such that this compression causes a circumferential widening of the throttle bodies (9) that constricts the control gap (10) determining a throughflow capacity of the throughflow rate regulator (8).

  • Publication number: 20130291975
    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).

  • Patent number: 8561923
    Abstract: A jet regulator is provided with a jet fractioning device designed as perforated plate with a number of flow-through holes that are located at a distance to each other. The perforated plate has at least one reinforcement rib on its flat side on the inflow side and/or outflow side to reinforce the perforated plate. On its side facing the outflow side the jet regulator has an additional perforated plate with a number of flow-through holes defined by flow guide walls. At least one distance piece is provided on at least one of the sides of the perforated plate that are facing each other and/or on an adjacent jet regulator component part. The distance piece deforms the perforated plate and the jet regulator component part as the result of a relative motion during the jet regulator installation from a non-deformed initial position into a round bodied or convexly bent application position.

  • Patent number: 8561922
    Abstract: A faucet aerator is provided with a plurality of pins oriented in a flow direction, spaced apart from one another, and extending essentially over the distance between a flow-dispersing device and an adjacent grid and/or lattice structure. The pins each have an evaporation surface, which is situated outside the region that is struck directly by the individual streams but can be wetted by the water flowing through the aerator housing and for this purpose, the pins are situated laterally outside the projection of the through-flow holes oriented in the flow direction. These comparatively long pins around which the flowing water circulates are covered by an enveloping water film even after the water valve is closed, which results in an increased humidity and therefore a reduced evaporation in the housing interior of the aerator housing. This prevents a complete drying-out of the interior of the aerator housing.
