Publication number: 20170268210Abstract: A sanitary insert unit is provided having a jet regulator which has a housing with a housing inlet and a housing outlet, and a jets splitter in the housing interior. The jet splitter protrudes partially into a diffuser ring, delimiting an annular channel therebetween. The diffuser ring is insertable into an outlet-side housing part of the housing until an annular step on the outer circumference of the diffuser ring bears on an inlet-side mating surface on an outlet-side housing part. A circumferential locking cam on an outer circumference of the diffuser ring is movable into locking engagement with a locking groove provided on an inner circumference of the outlet-side housing part. The locking cam has a run-on bevel which interacts with a mating bevel upstream from the locking groove in an insertion direction that has a greater angle of inclination with respect to a longitudinal axis in comparison with the run-on bevel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventor: Gerhard Blum

Publication number: 20160265202Abstract: A sanitary insert unit is provided having an aerated jet regulator which has a jet regulator housing with a housing inlet and a housing outlet, and a jets splitter in the housing interior. One feature of the insert unit is that the jet splitter is configured as a pot-shaped diffuser which has a pot base serving as an impingement surface for deflecting the flow of water outwards and a circumferential wall having at least one through-flow opening that leads into an annular channel. The jet regulator has, in a circumferential wall of its jet regulator housing, at least one aeration channel with an outlet opening leads into the housing interior of the jet regulator housing. The opening edge of the channel outlet opening facing towards the housing outlet is arranged above a cross-sectional plane of the jet regulator housing that extends through the outlet-side front face of the jet splitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2016Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventor: Gerhard Blum
