Abstract
A sanitary shower useful as an overhead shower has a shower body including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and a shower head that is removably attachable to the shower body, has a fluid inlet connecting with the fluid outlet of the shower body and includes a shower outlet providing a shower fluid jet. A plug-on connector removably attaches the shower head to the shower body via latching lugs that snap radially into engagement with latching holes and are blocked and unblocked from disengagement by a movable locking ring.
Claims12
A sanitary shower, comprising:
- a shower body including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet,
- a shower head which is removably attachable to the shower body with a fluid inlet in connection with the fluid outlet of the shower body and includes a shower outlet for providing a shower fluid jet,
- a plug-on connector for removably attaching the shower head to the shower body,
- wherein
- the plug-on connector has at least one latching lug and corresponding latching hole in which the latching lug is lockable by latching on,
- the plug-on connector includes a first coupling ring part on the shower body and a second coupling ring part on the shower head, which second coupling ring part is removably connectable to the first coupling ring part by coaxial insertion, wherein on one said coupling ring part the latching hole is provided and on the other said coupling ring part the latching lug is disposed to be snappingly movable in the radial direction for engaging and disengaging with the latching hole, and
- the plug-on connector includes a locking ring which is disposed coaxially in relation to that said coupling ring part which includes the latching lug, the locking ring being rotatable while secured against axial displacement relative to that coupling ring part to move the locking ring from a blocking position to an enable position and from the enable position to the blocking position without being axially displaced, wherein the locking ring in the blocking position secures against removing of the latching lug from the latching hole and in the enable position, twisted relative to the blocking position, enables removing of the latching lug from the latching hole.

- the plug-on connector has at least one latching lug and corresponding latching hole in which the latching lug is lockable by latching on,
- the plug-on connector includes a first coupling ring part on the shower body and a second coupling ring part on the shower head, which second coupling ring part is removably connectable to the first coupling ring part by coaxial insertion, wherein on one coupling ring part the latching hole is provided and on the other coupling ring part the latching lug is disposed to be snappingly movable in the radial direction, and
- the plug-on connector includes a locking ring which is disposed coaxially in relation to that coupling ring part which includes the latching lug, the locking ring being arranged on the shower head so as to be axially moveable while secured against rotation relative to that coupling ring part to move the locking ring from a blocking position to an enable position and from the enable position to the blocking position based only on axial movement without additional rotational movement, the locking ring being affixed to the shower head when the shower head is attached to the shower body and also when the shower head is detached from the shower body, wherein the locking ring in the blocking position secures against removing of the latching lug from the latching hole, and in the enable position axially displaced relative to the blocking position, enables removing of the latching lug from the latching hole.
