Device for limiting the flow of a fluid, in particular the flow of water in a shower

A device for restricting flow of a fluid;

• comprising:
• having a substantially cylindrical, hollow inlet body for the fluid;
• a substantially cylindrical outlet body for the fluid, which is connected to the inlet body so as to be rotatable about a common longitudinal axis, and conducts the fluid via a cross borehole and a downstream cavity in a direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the inlet body has an elongated hole extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis, said elongated hole forming a throttle valve in cooperation with the cross borehole provided in the outlet body,
• wherein a maximum flow rate is settable in a first relative radial position of the cross borehole and the elongated hole, a minimum flow rate is settable in a second radial position, and a defined flow rate is settable in intermediate positions, for a flow of fluid from an opening of the inlet body to an exit of the outlet body,
• wherein the cavity in the outlet body leads into a mixing chamber including at least one lateral intake borehole from which a further fluid is supplyable from outside the outlet body;
• a nozzle element arranged within the outlet body downstream of the mixing chamber, said nozzle element being adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the outlet body and being capable of penetrating into the mixing chamber with an upper edge thereof;
• and
• a clamping device for fixing the set radial position of the inlet body and the outlet body relative to each other.
