Publication number: 20120223446Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2010Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: NEOPERL GMBHInventor: Holger Schürle

Patent number: 8230882Abstract: A telescoping water outlet includes an inner pipe, at least a longitudinal portion of which is enclosed by an outlet pipe, forming an annular space between the two pipes. An inner pipe head is mounted to and closes the end of the inner pipe that is nearest the outlet opening, and includes an annular flange that bears displaceably against an inner wall of the outlet pipe. A blocking device that is slidably mounted between the inner pipe and the outlet pipe delimits a longitudinal end of the annular space, and a braking element delays or prevents a telescoping movement of the water outlet, in response to either a pressure change in the annular space, or a relative movement between the inner pipe and the outlet pipe.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Neoperl GmbHInventor: Wolf-Dieter Lacher

Publication number: 20110309167Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Hermann GRETHER, Christoph Weis

Publication number: 20110309616Abstract: A sanitary hose coupling (1) including a tubular coupling base body (2) which, in at least one of the base body end regions thereof, has a hose connector (3) profiled in at least one sub-region for a flexible water hose (4) to be pushed on, and also includes a crimp sleeve (6) which, when deformed, fixes an end (5) of the water hose (4) encompassed by the crimp sleeve (6) on the hose connector (3). The hose coupling (1) provides that the end (5) of the water hose (4) encompassed by the crimp sleeve (6) can be fixed in a rotationally fixed manner on the hose connector (3), and that the end (5) of the hose can be pushed onto a profiled section (7) of the hose connector (3) that is not round in the circumferential direction. Since the hose coupling permits a torque transmission between the water hose (4) and the coupling base body (2), the hose coupling is able to substantially facilitate the mounting and dismantling of a water hose (4) even under restricted spatial conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: NEOPERL GMBHInventors: Kevin Mager, Werner Kury
