Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Handbrause mit
- a) einem an einen Brauseschlauch anschließbaren Handgriff;
- b) einem von dem Handgriff getragenen Duschkopf, der an einer Seite eine Mehrzahl von Wasseraustrittsöffnungen aufweist;
- c) mindestens einem in dem Duschkopf angeordneten Leuchtmittel.
- a) a connectable to a shower hose handle;
- b) a handle supported by the shower head having on one side a plurality of water outlet openings;
- c) at least one lamp arranged in the shower head.
Eine derartige sanitäre Handbrause ist in der WO 2005/118967 A1 beschrieben. Diese Druckschrift befasst sich im wesentlichen mit der Frage, wie eine Akkumulator, aus welchem die Leuchtmittel gespeist werden, wieder aufgeladen werden kann. Die Leuchtmittel sind hier entweder in der Strahlaustrittsfläche angeordnet, so daß ihr Licht durch Öffnungen in der Strahlaustrittsfläche nach außen gelangt, oder die Leuchtmittel befinden sich im wasserführenden Bereich und geben ihr Licht in das Wasser ab. Über das Material, aus dem das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes besteht, finden sich in der WO 2005/118967 A1 keine Angaben. Es ist jedoch davon auszugehen, daß dieses Material, wie bei allen bisher bekannten sanitären Handbrausen, lichtundurchlässig ist.A such sanitary Hand shower is described in WO 2005/118967 A1. This document deals essentially with the question of how an accumulator, from which the bulbs are fed, recharged can be. The lamps are arranged here either in the beam exit surface, so that you Light through openings in the beam exit surface outward arrives, or the bulbs are in the water-bearing Area and give her light into the water. About the material from which the casing of the shower head, there are none in WO 2005/118967 A1 Information. However, it is assumed that this material, as in all previously known sanitary Hand showers, opaque is.
Bei der in der WO 2005/118967 beschriebenen sanitären Handbrause sind die Leuchtmittel aufgrund ihrer Anordnung in den Duschköpfen nicht besonders geschützt; darüber hinaus ist ihre optische Wirkung vergleichsweise gering.at the sanitary hand shower described in WO 2005/118967 are the bulbs not particularly protected due to their arrangement in the shower heads; Furthermore their optical effect is comparatively low.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine sanitäre Handbrause der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die bei einem neuartigen, besonders ansprechenden Design einen besseren Schutz für die Leuchtmittel im Duschkopf gewährleistet.task The present invention is a sanitary hand shower of the beginning to create the type mentioned in a novel, particularly appealing Design a better protection for the Lamp in the shower head guaranteed.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß
- d) das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes aus einem transparenten, insbesondere glasklaren, Material besteht;
- e) das mindestens eine Leuchtmittel in einer Aussparung des Gehäuses derart angeordnet ist, daß das von dem Leuchtmittel ausgesandte Licht das transparente Material des Gehäuses durchdringt.
- d) the housing of the shower head consists of a transparent, in particular crystal clear, material;
- e) the at least one lighting means is arranged in a recess of the housing such that the light emitted by the light source penetrates the transparent material of the housing.
Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Wahl eines transparenten, insbesondere glasklaren, Materials für das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes ist es möglich, die Leuchtmittel innerhalb des Duschkopfes mehr oder weniger "gekapselt" unterzubringen, so daß Außeneinflüsse auf die Leuchtmittel weitestgehend vermieden werden können. Zum Austritt des Lichtes werden keine besonderen Öffnungen benötigt, die verschmutzungsgefährdet sind. Die Transparenz des Gehäuses des Duschkopfes ermöglicht zudem, daß der Benutzer die inneren Wasserwege erkennen und durch den Duschkopf hindurch die Brausestrahlen beobachten kann, was zu dem gesamten ästhetischen Erscheinungsbild beiträgt.by virtue of the choice of the invention a transparent, in particular clear, material for the housing of the Shower head it is possible the Illuminant within the showerhead more or less encapsulated, so that outside influences on the bulbs can be largely avoided. To the The exit of the light, no special openings are required, which are vulnerable to contamination. The transparency of the case allows the shower head Moreover, that the Users recognize the inner waterways and through the shower head through which the shower jets can observe, leading to the overall aesthetic Appearance contributes.
Es empfiehlt sich, daß das Leuchtmittel eine Leuchtdiode ist.It It is recommended that the Bulb is a light emitting diode.
Aus ästhetischen Gründen sollte die Stromzuleitung zu dem Leuchtmittel möglichst unsichtbar sein. Eine Möglichkeit einer entsprechenden Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Stromzuleitung für das Leuchtmittel von einem Flachbandkabel gebildet ist, dessen eine Schmalseite im wesentlichen auf die die Wasseraustrittsöffnungen aufweisende Seite des Duschkopfes ausgerichtet ist. Alternativ ist es möglich, als Stromzuleitung für das Leuchtmittel eine elektrisch leitende, transparente Folie einzusetzen.From aesthetic establish the power supply to the light source should be as invisible as possible. A possibility a corresponding embodiment is that the power supply for the light source is formed by a ribbon cable whose one narrow side in essentially on the water outlet openings having side the shower head is aligned. Alternatively, it is possible as Power supply for the bulb to use an electrically conductive, transparent film.
Als transparentes Material für das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes kommen in erster Linie Polycarbonate (PC) oder Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) in Frage.When transparent material for the case of the Shower heads are primarily polycarbonates (PC) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in question.

Statt eines Flachbandkabels kann als Stromzuleitung für die Leuchtdioden auch eine elektrisch leitende, transparente Kunststofffolie eingesetzt werden, wie sie auf dem Markt erhältich ist.Instead of a ribbon cable can also be a power supply for the LEDs be used electrically conductive, transparent plastic film, as it is available in the market is.
