Abstract
A shower attachment which can be adjusted about a joint is proposed. The shower attachment comprises in one shower-attachment housing two water guides with in each case one outlet option. A changeover device can be used to change over between the two water guides. The changeover device comprises a valve having a valve closing body. In order to actuate the changeover device, an actuating element is provided on the shower-attachment housing and can be adjusted in two opposite directions relative to the shower-attachment housing. The two adjusting directions of the actuating element are at the same time directions which lead to a pivoting of the shower attachment about the joint axis.
Claims13
A shower attachment, comprising:
- a shower-attachment housing which can be moved in an adjusting direction on a joint to adjust a water flow direction of water emerging from the shower attachment,
- a changeover device for changing over the water flow in the shower-attachment housing between at least two different options,
- at least one changeover-device actuating element coupled to the changeover device, wherein the changeover-device actuating element is arranged on the shower-attachment housing and is movable with respect to the shower-attachment housing, wherein the changeover-device actuating element has an actuating direction that coincides with movement of the shower-attachment housing in the adjusting direction on the joint,
- wherein the changeover device is operated by the changeover-device actuating element to change over the water flow between two shower-attachment spray outlets from the shower-attachment housing, and wherein the two shower-attachment spray outlets aim at two different directions from the shower-attachment housing,
- wherein movement of the shower attachment housing via the changeover-device actuating element, in an actuating direction that is a same direction as said adjusting direction of the shower-attachment housing on the joint, changes over the water flow to the one of the two shower-attachment spray outlets that is moved in said adjusting direction toward the water flow direction.
A shower attachment, comprising:
- a shower-attachment housing which can be adjusted in direction on a joint,
- a changeover device for changing over the water flow in the shower-attachment housing between at least two different options,
- at least one changeover-device actuating element coupled to the changeover device, wherein the changeover-device actuating element is arranged on the shower-attachment housing and is movable with respect to the shower-attachment housing, wherein the changeover-device actuating element has an actuating direction that coincides with movement of the shower-attachment housing in an adjusting direction on the joint,
- wherein the changeover device is operated by the changeover-device actuating element to change over the water flow between two shower-attachment spray outlets from the shower-attachment housing, and wherein the two shower-attachment spray outlets are at two different locations on the shower-attachment housing,
- wherein the joint comprises a rotary joint with a fixed axis, and,
- wherein the shower-attachment housing is adjusted in an up/down direction on the joint, the actuating element is movable up and down, and the two spray outlets are located on an underside and at a front of the shower-attachment housing respectively.
