  • Publication number: 20200318329
    Abstract: A sanitary insertion unit (1), including an insertion housing (6), in which insertion housing a valve having a valve piston (10) is provided, which valve piston is slidably guided in the insertion housing and can be moved from a resting position under the pressure of the inflowing water against the restoring force of at least one restoring element (11). The restoring unit has at least one movement damper (12, 13), which damps or brakes the movement of the valve piston from the resting position to the open position.

  • Patent number: 10551857
    Abstract: In a sanitary installation part (1) which, along with a functional unit (7), forms a flow volume regulator, it is proposed that a regulating element (13), which can be adjusted along an adjustment path, be coupled to a temperature-sensitive drive unit (15) such that different regulating positions of the regulating element (13) are set in dependence on the temperature of the medium flowing through the installation part (1), wherein the different regulating positions realize in each case different volume-flow dependencies (11, 12, 45, 48) and/or flow resistances.

  • Patent number: 10415218
    Abstract: A sanitary fitted element (1) which can be inserted into the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and is held releasably there. A characteristic feature of the fitted element (1) according to the invention is that said fitted element has an adjusting device for changing the clear sectional area of flow of the fitted element (1) and/or the discharge rate, which adjusting device is actuable via at least one control element (8) which is arranged actuably on the inflow side of the fitted element (1) and/or on the outflow side thereof. The fitted element (1) according to the invention can be used in a versatile manner in order to reduce the outlay on production and stock.

  • Publication number: 20190211538
    Abstract: A jet regulator (100) including a jet regulator housing (2) is disclosed, in the housing interior of which a perforated plate (5) is provided with a plurality of flow-through holes (6) for dividing the through-flowing water. The jet regulator described is characterised in that at least one flow-through hole (6) extends conically towards its outflow side in at least one outflow-side hole section. It is also possible for flow obstacles to be provided on the outflow side of the perforated plate (5) in the jet regulator housing (2) and/or on the outflow front face of the jet regulator housing, which are arranged or concentrated there in a central or middle region and which deflect the through-flowing water into an outer annular zone. This jet regulator (100) enables an aerated and thereby sparkling-soft water jet to be generated even with low flow-through performance and low water pressure.

  • Patent number: 10260219
    Abstract: A jet regulator (1) is provided including a jet regulator housing having an interior in which there is provided a perforated plate (5) with a plurality of throughflow holes (6) for dividing up the water that flows through, of which at least one of the throughflow holes (6), at least in an outflow-side hole portion, widens in a tapered or conical or stepped manner toward an outflow side. On the outflow side of the perforated plate (5) and at a distance therefrom, there is provided an encircling impingement chamfer (19) which narrows a clear housing cross section in a region of the impingement chamfer progressively in the flow direction.

  • Patent number: 10161120
    Abstract: A sanitary outlet insert which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, comprising a flow limiter that has an adjusting element which regulates or limits the flow area in cooperation with a counter element. The flow area of the flow limiter can be preselected or varied by an axial change of the relative position of the adjusting element and the counter element; in that additionally a handle is provided on the outlet end face of the outlet insert, said handle being designed as a pushbutton; and in that an adjusting movement on the handle can be converted into a relative axial movement of the adjusting element and the counter element by means of a pushbutton mechanism.
