DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to accessories for sanitary fittings, specifically to a flow limiting device and water jet controller with replaceable baffle device and barrier or guiding elements.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The known water jet controllers and baffle devices are equipped only with one baffle device. An example prior art device is disclosed in CH-A-315 823. This device relates to a mouth piece for mixing exiting fluid with air.
Since consumer awareness continues to develop positively because of increasing energy and water costs and with respect to protecting the environment, the handling of environmental products must be simplified and effective.
Flow limiting devices could be used more frequently if all supply devices in the commercial and private arena could be set simply to a minimally needed amount of water.
In the known flow limiting devices, there is only one accessing baffle point for setting the flow amount.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The illustration (FIG. 1) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (33), cylinder orifice plate (26), spiral spring (17), and baffle screw (31). By using baffle screw (31), with needle point (38), in the screwed-in state, the water flow can be limited without reducing the diameter of the inlet hole. Further, a precision adjustment can still be performed.
The illustration (FIG. 2) shows, in cross section, housing (19), baffle plate (35), cylinder orifice plate (40), spiral spring (17) and baffle screw (29). The prebaffling is performed by baffle plate (35), inlet hole (5) with selected diameter, and precision baffling with baffle screw (29).
The illustration (FIG. 3) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (35), cylinder orifice plate (40), spiral spring (17), orifice plate (21) and baffle screw (29). The prebaffling is performed by baffle plate (35), inlet hole (5) with selected diameter, and precision baffling with baffle screw (27) which, when actuated, lets the orifice plate move vertically.
The illustration (FIG. 4) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (15), cylinder orifice plate (26), spiral spring (17) and baffle screw (28). The prebaffling is performed by baffle plate (15), inlet hole (12) with selected diameter, and precision baffling with baffle screw (28).
The illustration (FIG. 5) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (18), cylinder orifice plate (26), spiral spring (17), orifice plate (21) and baffle screw (27).
The prebaffling is performed by baffle plate (18), with baffle screw (2), and precision baffling with baffle screw (27) which, when actuated, lets the orifice plate move vertically.
The illustration (FIG. 7) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (34), cylinder orifice plate (25), housing (19) and spiral spring (17). The prebaffling is performed by baffle plate (34), inlet hole (5) with selected diameter, and precision baffling with baffle screw (27).
The illustration (FIG. 8) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (34), cylinder orifice plate (24), housing (19), and spiral spring (17). The prebaffling is performed by baffle plate (34), inlet hole (5) with selected diameter, and precision baffling with baffle screw (30).
The illustration (FIG. 9) shows, in cross section, baffle plate (15), cylinder orifice plate (22), spiral spring (17), spiral spring (7), housing (19), and baffle screw (28). The baffling is performed by baffle plate (15), the inlet hole of selected diameter.
The object of the invention is to adjustably and optimally minimize and meter, by adjustment from the outside, the flow amount at water outlets during use, and to guarantee the lifetime of the flow limiting device according to the inventive flow limiting device for many years. Furthermore, it is another object of the invention to preclude maintenance and cleaning problems and to guarantee unproblematic use in the hygiene field.
Below, the invention is explained in more detail, based on a drawing representing only one embodiment. The illustration (FIG. 7) shows the flow limiting device and water jet controller in diagrammatic representati
