Sanitary component, namely jet regulator or jet former for flowing, fluid media, method of producing such a sanitary component and use of a sanitary component

摘要

The invention relates to a sanitary component, namely a stream regulator or stream former for flowing fluid media, consisting of property-defining components in a sandwich-like arrangement in the direction of flow which comprise at least one screen attachment, one diffuser plate assembly as well as a shell body having segments of stream-forming openings extending across its cross-sectional surface. The property-defining components are exchangeable and combinable so as to realize adaptability to different user and user requirements. A locking means is provided e.g. on the inner circumference of the shell body for this purpose as is a corresponding counter-locking means on the outer circumference of the diffuser plate assembly. The diffuser plate assembly exhibits, at least on its exterior, a flow rate class-specifying optical code and the shell body exhibits a stream type-specifying, namely laminar or aerated, optical code. The screen attachment is furthermore inserted into a circumferential inner recess of the e.g. circular diffuser plate assembly, preferably by means of a locking connection, whereby in the case of a flow regulator disposed between the screen attachment and the diffuser plate assembly, the screen attachment is of translucent or transparent design and the flow regulator exhibits another optical coding. In the case where no flow regulator is provided, the optical coding of the screen attachment is designed to match that of the diffuser plate assembly or be provided in a predefined combination.

主权项

1. A sanitary component for flowing fluid media, the fluid media having a direction of flow, the sanitary component having property-defining components, the property-defining components being situated in a sandwich arrangement, the property-defining components including at least a screen attachment, a diffuser plate assembly and a shell body, the shell body having a cross-sectional surface and segments of stream-forming openings extending across the cross-sectional surface, the sanitary component comprising:
cooperating first and second fixing means for at least one of exchanging and combining said property-defining components, the first fixing means being at least one of integrally formed on the shell body and molded in the shell body, and the second fixing means being at least one of integrally formed on the diffuser plate assembly and molded in the diffuser plate assembly; wherein the diffuser plate assembly has an exterior surface and includes at least on the exterior surface thereof a flow rate class-specifying optical code; wherein the shell body includes one of a stream flow-specifying laminar optical code and a stream flow-specifying aerated optical code; wherein the screen attachment is connected to the diffuser plate assembly; and wherein the flow rate class-specifying optical code of the diffuser plate assembly has a first color, and the at least one of the stream type-specifying laminar optical code and the stream type-specifying aerated optical code of the shell body has a second color, the first color being different from the second color.
