Publication number: 20080169361Abstract: A jet regulator (1) having a jet fractionating device (2) which distributes the incoming water flow into a plurality of individual jets is provided. The jet regulator (1) has at least one individual jet, from the individual jets formed by the fractionating device, which impacts on a node point (3) of a criss-crossing grid of bars (4, 5) of an outlet side downstream grid network (6). At least one node point (3) is configured as an inlet side recess of the grid network (6) and/or the jet regulator is an aerated jet regulator having a jet regulator housing (7) which includes at least one aeration opening (8) on a periphery of the housing thereof and at least one reflection projection (9) which is used to maintain the water jet at a distance from the aeration opening that is arranged on the inner periphery of the housing in the direction of flow below the at least one aeration opening (8). The jet regulator (1) provides an improved fractionating of the incoming individual jets.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2005Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: NEOPERL GMBHInventors: Wolf-Dieter Lacher, Hermann Grether

Patent number: 7392828Abstract: An insertion part is provided in the form of a back-flow preventer and which can be inserted in a gas or liquid line. An insertion part is also provided that can be inserted into a gas or liquid line in the form of a flow regulator. The insertion parts are characterizedin that they comprise an annular lip shaped part which, togther with its annular body, is held inside the housing and which has at least one controlling lip (9), with the controlling lip being displaced by the fluid, and/or at least one sealing lip (14). The insertion part can be used in a versatile manner and is characterized by the simple production thereof as well as by having a uniform and reliable functioning.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Keith Hart, Michael Söchtig, Christoph Weis

Publication number: 20080149743Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2008Publication date: June 26, 2008Applicant: NEOPERL GMBHInventors: Christoph Weis, Hermann Grether
