Solche Brausekopfanordnungen sind in einer Vielzahl von Varianten bekannt. Sie enthalten normalerweise einen Brausekopf mit einem Stiel, der an einer Halterung, insbesondere Wandhalterung, aufgehängt ist, um den Brausekopf beim Duschen entweder feststehend an der Wand als Wandbrause oder nach dem Abnehmen als Handbrause zu benutzen. Der Stiel der Handbrause ist dabei nicht nur von einem Wandhalter abnehmbar, sondern dieser besteht meist aus einer Wandhalterstange, an der ein Halter für den Duschkopf in der Höhe verstellbar ist.Such shower head arrangements are known in a large number of variants. she usually include a shower head with a stem attached to a bracket, especially wall bracket, is hung around the shower head when showering either fixed on the wall as a wall shower or after removal as Use hand shower. The handle of the hand shower is not just one Removable wall bracket, but usually consists of a wall bracket, on which a holder for the shower head is adjustable in height.

Solche Handbrausen sind in der Regel verhältnismäßig klobig aufgebaut, insbesondere wenn sie mit mehreren, verschiedenen Strahlbildern ausgerüstet sind, die über ein Auswahlorgan wahlweise aktivierbar sind. Solche Handbrausen werden vom Benutzer fast ausschließlich am Stiel angefaßt, um die verschiedenen Körperpartien zu erreichen. Such hand showers are usually relatively bulky, especially if they are equipped with several different beam patterns, which over a selection organ can optionally be activated. Such hand showers are from Users handled almost exclusively on a stick to the different parts of the body to reach.

Aus der DE-A-41 22 861 ist eine Handdusche in länglicher Form und mit länglicher Wasserauslaßfläche bekannt, die mit einem Bürstenaufsatz, einem Duschlotionsbehälter und zwei Düsensätzen für verschiedene Funktionen ausgerüstet ist. Durch einen Wahlschalter kann zum Einseifen der Wasserstrom über den Duschlotionsbehälter mit ersten Düsen im Bereich der Bürste verbunden werden, während zum normalen Duschen die Wasserzufuhr direkt mit Hauptdüsen verbunden werden kann.From DE-A-41 22 861 is a hand shower in an elongated shape and with an elongated Water outlet surface known with a brush attachment, a shower lotion container and two nozzle sets are equipped for different functions. By A selector switch can be used to soap up the water flow through the shower lotion container with the first nozzles in the area of the brush, while for normal showers the water supply can be connected directly to the main jets can.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Brausekopfanordnung vorzuschlagen, die bei verhältnismäßig großer Wasserauslaßfläche wahlweise verschiedene Strahlbilder ermöglicht und eine sehr handliche Form hat.The present invention has for its object a shower head assembly to propose the various different with a relatively large water outlet area Enables jet patterns and has a very handy shape.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß der Brausekopf so schmal ausgebildet ist, daß er von einer Hand umfaßt werden kann und daß die längliche Wasserauslaßfläche mehrere Wasserdüsensätze für verschiedene Strahlbilder aufweist. Eine solche längliche Wasserauslaßfläche ermöglicht es, eine große Anzahl von Wasserdüsen anzuordnen, ohne daß dabei die Handlichkeit leidet wie es bei manchen bekannten Handbrausen mit z.B. kreisförmiger Wasserauslaßfläche und verhältnismäßig großem Durchmesser der Fall ist.This object is achieved according to the present invention in that the Shower head is so narrow that it can be gripped by one hand and that the elongated water outlet surface has several sets of water nozzles for different ones Has jet images. Such an elongated water outlet surface enables it to arrange a large number of water jets without the Handiness suffers like some known hand showers with e.g. circular Water outlet area and relatively large diameter is the case.

Die Wasserdüsen der Wasserdüsensätze sind auf der Wasserauslaßfläche vorzugsweise auf einem oder mehreren Kreisen oder auf einem oder mehreren Ovalen angeordnet, wobei diese Kreise oder Ovals mit den Wasserdüsen vorzugsweise etwa konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind. Diese Ausgestaltung hat vor allem den Vorteil, daß bei der Anordnung mehrerer Wasserdüsensätze für verschiedene Strahlbilder die Versorgung der einzelnen Wasserdüsensätze von einer Verteileranordnung auf einfache Weise realisiert werden. In diesem Fall sind den Wasserdüsensätzen Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen einzeln zugeordnet, die selektiv mit Wasser versorgt werden. Darüber hinaus ist ein Auswahlorgan vorgesehen, über das die Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen selektiv aktivierbar sind.The water nozzles of the water nozzle sets are preferably on the water outlet surface on one or more circles or on one or more ovals arranged, these circles or oval with the water jets preferably are arranged approximately concentrically to each other. This configuration has above all the advantage that in the arrangement of several water nozzle sets for different Jet patterns the supply of the individual water nozzle sets from a distributor arrangement can be realized in a simple manner. In this case, the water nozzle sets Beam supply devices individually assigned that selectively with Water are supplied. In addition, a selection body is provided for that the beam supply devices can be activated selectively.

Die erfindungsgemäße Brausekopfanordnung, insbesondere mit länglich ausgebildetem Brausekopf gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1, ist gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Brausekopf lösbar mit einem Stiel verbunden ist, der an dem Halter, insbesondere einem Wandhalter befestigt ist. Der Stiel ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mit einer Aufnahmegabel versehen, in die der Brausekopf einhängbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Brausekopf ohne Stiel abzunehmen und nach Gebrauch wieder in die Aufnahmegabel einzuhängen. Der Brausekopf kann dabei wie ein Stück Seife von einer Hand umfaßt und am Körper entlanggeführt werden. Diese Lösung mit einer Aufnahmegabel zur Aufnahme des Brausekopfes läßt sich bei einer Variante auch derart modifizieren, daß am Stiel zwei Aufnahmegabeln vorgesehen sind, so daß zwei gleiche oder verschiedene Brauseköpfe aufgehängt werden können.The shower head arrangement according to the invention, in particular with an elongated one Shower head according to the characterizing part of claim 1, is according to one Another advantageous embodiment, characterized in that the shower head is releasably connected to a handle on the holder, in particular one Wall bracket is attached.

Figur 2 zeigt insbesondere, daß auf der ovalen Wasserauslaßfläche 10 ein äußerer Ring von Wasserdüsen eines ersten Wasserdüsensatzes 11 vorgesehen ist, während weiter innen ein zweiter Ring von Wasserdüsen eines zweiten Wasserdüsensatzes 12 liegen. Im Zentrum der Wasserauslaßfläche 10 ist ein dritter Wasserdüsensatz 13 mit einer großen Wasserdüse 13 angeordnet, wobei alle drei Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind.As can also be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the shower head 1 has a Bottom of a water outlet surface 10 with water nozzle sets 11, 21, 13 with a variety of water nozzles, which are distributed over the water outlet surface. Figure 2 shows in particular that on the oval water outlet surface 10, an outer Ring of water nozzles of a first water nozzle set 11 is provided while further inside a second ring of water nozzles from a second set of water nozzles 12 lie. In the center of the water outlet surface 10 is a third set of water nozzles 13 arranged with a large water nozzle 13, all three sets of water nozzles 11, 12 and 13 are arranged concentrically to one another.

In Figur 1 sind schematisch (strichpunktiert) Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen 11a, 12a und 13a angedeutet, die die zugeordneten Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 mit Wasser versorgen. Über ein Auswahlorgan 7 in Form eines kreisförmigen oder sektorförmigen Selektierrades werden die Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen 11a, 12a und 13a wahlweise mit der Wasserversorgung über den Schlauch 8 verbunden. Das Selektierrad 7 steht seitlich über den ovalförmigen Brausekopf 1 über, so daß es leicht mit der Hand verdreht werden kann, um jeweils einen der Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 auszuwählen. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform (nicht dargestellt) sind in dem Brausekopf 1 seitliche Aussparungen bzw. Vertiefungen vorgesehen, über die das Selektierrad 7 betätigt werden kann. In diesem Fall braucht das Selektierrad 7 nicht über den ovalförmigen Brausekopf 1 überzustehen.1 shows schematically (dash-dotted) beam supply devices 11a, 12a and 13a indicated that the associated water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13th supply with water. Via a selection element 7 in the form of a circular or the beam supply devices 11a, 12a and 13a optionally connected to the water supply via the hose 8. The selection wheel 7 is laterally over the oval-shaped shower head 1, so that it can easily be turned by hand to one of the water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13 to select. In another embodiment (not shown) are lateral recesses or depressions in the shower head 1 provided, via which the selection wheel 7 can be operated. In this case the selection wheel 7 does not have to protrude beyond the oval-shaped shower head 1.
