  • Publication number: 20100170587
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fitting comprising a guiding tube (2) for a flexible conduit (6) and a shower (5, 39, 50, 60) located at one end of the guiding tube (2). Means are provided for removably fastening the shower (5, 39, 50, 60) to the guiding tube (2). Said means encompass two parts which magnetically adhere to each other. A first part (13, 13?, 42, 53, 54, 62) is fixed to the shower (5, 39, 0, 60) while the second part (12, 35) is fixed to the guiding tube. Preferably, the shower is embodied as an extensible shower.

  • Patent number: 7594617
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shower attachment which comprises a first part (T1) which comprises a water guiding channel (2), and a second part (T2) which comprises at least one first and one second outlet opening (A1, A2) which can be selectively connected to the water guiding channel (2) by means of a valve (V). Said valve (V) is embodied by areas (BI, B2) of the two parts (TI, T2), which are connected to each other in a manner such that they can be displaced and are arranged in the inside of the second part (T2). The valve (V) can be changed by displacing at least one part (T2), and the both known areas (B1, B2) are connected together in such a manner that they can pivot. The first part (T1) comprises a pivotable axis (24) and at least one outlet opening (7) which is arranged at a distance therefrom. The second part (T2) comprises, optionally, at least two inlet openings which are arranged at a distance in relation to said pivotable axis (24).

  • Publication number: 20080302886
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shower head which comprises a housing (2) wherein a valve (V), which comprises a closing body (10) which can be adjusted between two closing positions by changing the type of jet by means of an actuation device (19), is arranged. The actuation device (19) comprises a rotating wheel (33, 41, 51, 61, 71) which is arranged on the outer side of the housing (2), said rotating wheel being actively connected to the closing body (10) such that it can manually rotate in a limited manner in order to adjust the closing body (10). A valve pipe (3) is arranged in the housing (2), whereon the rotating wheel (33, 41, 51, 61, 71) is mounted in a rotationally limited manner. Said shower head can be manually actuated in a simple manner and can consist of very few parts.

  • Patent number: 7341239
    Abstract: The valve has a valve housing (39), in which a valve body (26) is mounted displaceably and preferably rotatably about its longitudinal axis (A). It has at least one valve seat (53, 54), with which the valve body (26) interacts. A button (22) is operationally connected to the valve body (26) in order to displace the valve body (26) from a basic position into a working position. The valve body (26) is controlled in such a way that it is automatically locked releasably in the working position when its displacement from the basic position into the working position takes place.
