Abstract

The invention relates to a washing device, in particular for genitalia. The invention is distinguished, firstly, by a wash basin with at least one recess on one side of the wash basin and, secondly, by at least two taps.

Description

washer

[01] The invention relates to a washing device for cleaning the body or at least parts of the body, in particular for the genital cleansing.

[02] Body wash washes are well known in various designs. A very simple and the most widely used washing device comprises a sink as a collecting and collecting device and a faucet for the water outlet. This basic structure of a washing device is conventionally used for washing and cleaning hands, sometimes even for genitals.

[03] So-called bidets are known for the purpose of cleaning the genitals and the buttocks area. A bidet comprises, similar to the previously described hand washing device, a collecting basin as a collecting and collecting device and a water tap for the discharge of water. Unlike the hand basin, the bidet is placed lower on a suspension, usually on a wall. While the hand basin is usually located waist-high, the sink of the bidets is placed approximately below knee high.

Also, the shapes of the respective sinks differ from each other, namely, while the sink of the hand washing device is rather wider than deep, the sink of the bidet is reversed rather deeper than wide.

[05] The resulting disadvantages are that each particular use requires a different one of the different conventional washers. This is space demanding and costly.

Therefore, the present invention is based on the object to provide a sink, which is as versatile as possible for washing and cleaning different parts of the body.

[07] According to the invention, this object is achieved by a washing device having the features of independent patent claim 1 or by a washing device having the features of independent patent claim 17. Liermann-Castell P02493WO

[08] According to a first aspect of the invention, this is characterized in that the washing device comprises a washbasin with at least one recess on one side of the washbasin.

[09] A recess on one side of the washbasin according to the invention is based on a more or less regular outer shape of the washbasin. Most sinks have a three-dimensional shell-shaped outer shape. In the plan view, a mostly substantially oval or semi-oval or a substantially rectangular outer basic shape can be seen. This outer basic shape often has in plan view straight side edges or even outward bulges which define and define the basic shape. A recess with respect to this basic shape is an interruption of the outer basic shape on at least one side edge and a curvature or otherwise shaped indentation inward, ie concave, and for example to the center of the basic shape.

[10] For the purposes of the invention, the washing device can be free-standing or arranged with at least one side wall-side, preferably fastened. For wall-side arrangement or attachment, the washbasin in the basic form from the top view of the conditions of a flat or angled or otherwise shaped wall can be adapted to one or more sides. The wall or wall sides are not intended to form the side of the recess.

[H] In a particular embodiment of the invention, the recess may be variable in shape and / or in its extent. The change can take place up to all three spatial directions. Furthermore, the shape, for example a bend, of the recess can also be changed. This can be done electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically. For this purpose, for example, fixed or variable-shape assemblies may be provided in the washbasin, which, for example, give in contact and adapt to non-destructive and preferably reversible or be adapted manually or automatically.

[12] Preferably, the shape and / or extent of the recess is adaptable or adapted to the human hip or thigh or buttocks. If it is a non-variable form of the recess, this can essentially correspond to the average size for these body parts of the human being or be adapted to the respective target group. For example, different recesses may be provided for women and men.

[13] Preferably, the recess refers to the outer circumferential shape of the washbasin in plan view. Through the recess, the outer circumferential shape, so the basic shape of the sink, changed and thus reduces the base area. Liermann-Castell P02493WO

Conveniently, the basin in its peripheral shape in the plan view, ie in relation to the basic shape, without taking into account the recess, substantially round or circular segment, oval or partially oval, for example semi-oval, or four- or polygonal, for example, substantially rectangular , designed.

Preferably, the basic shape in the plan view of the sink relative to the side of the recess wider than designed deep.

[16] Particularly preferably, the recess is arranged on the washbasin in plan view opposite to the side of a water outlet. The water outlet can be made from a fitting, the fitting can be attached to the sink or above the sink. Alternatively, several valves can be provided. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sink has at least one receptacle for one or more fittings.

Alternatively or additionally, the recess may be arranged on the washbasin in the plan view opposite a wall side of the washbasin. Usually, a person steps on a wall mounted washbasin from the opposite side, to get to both sides right and left as much freedom of movement for the cleaning operations. It may also be on any other of the free sides, i. not the wall side, an additional recess may be provided to provide further freedom of movement.

[18] It is preferred if the recess in the plan view of the washbasin is substantially curved. Since the human anatomy in the middle of the body or on the legs essentially has curvilinear circumferential parts, the recess can also be substantially curved in shape in accordance with these regions. Alternatively, it may be preferred that the recess in the plan view of the washbasin is substantially U-shaped. Thus, the person with the body area to be cleaned can get closer to the center of the washbasin and closer to a fitting.

[19] More preferably, the recess in the plan view of the washbasin corresponds to the width of the human hip in terms of the width of the recess. This can be based on an average value, or the width can be adapted to a particular group of people or the width of the upper average values are oriented so that the largest possible number of people can use the washing device. It is expedient that the person on the one hand can fit well into the recess and on the other hand, the recess should fill as well as possible, so between Liermann-Castell PÖ2493WO

the person and the edge of the recess as little space arises, where wash water escape through and can not be removed through the sink.

Thus, the person gets completely closer to the fitting zoom while generous dimension of the sink. It combines the advantages of a large washbasin in terms of good catching properties and that of a small washbasin with regard to the proximity of the person's body to the fitting.

Alternatively, the recess in the plan view of the washbasin with respect to the width of the recess may correspond to the width of the human thigh. In this case, two recesses may be provided side by side for the two thighs. As a result, the edge guidance of the recess can be made even more precisely over a large number of persons so that as little space as possible arises between the person and the edge of the recess, where washing water escapes and can no longer be removed through the washbasin. As a result, the person gets completely closer to the fitting zoom while generous dimension of the sink.

[22] In particular, a male user, with a suitable design, can perform the intended washing process considerably better than with conventional devices. So it is particularly conceivable that he can wash his genitals directly under running water from the fitting. Although this is not possible in a purely spatial sense, the path through which the user has to transport the water with a shovel folded out of his hands is shortened, so that he loses little water on the way from the fitting to his genital.

[23] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the recess has a projection for genital placement in the plan view of the washbasin. Alternatively it can be provided that a projection for genital deposit is provided between two recesses. This may for example be the case in the case of two U-shaped thigh recesses. The projection is already formed in the space between the two adjacent recesses. No matter in which embodiment, ie with one or more recesses, the recesses should be adapted in their dimension to the body measurements of men near below the genital area.

[24] In a further development, the preload for genital deposition on its surface can be adapted to the shape of the respective body region to be deposited there. For example, a trough may be provided. In addition, from the trough a drain towards the drain of the sink of Liermann-Castell PQ ₂ 493WO

the trough made, because wash water can pass from the body part on the shelf projection and must be discharged from there purposeful.

[25] A particular advantage may lie in the fact that the washbasin and / or the entire washing device is arranged vertically adjustable. The height adjustment can be done gradually manually or electrically supported.

[26] In a further development it can be provided that the height of the washbasin is automatically adjusted to the height of the genital area of the person. This can be done for example by means of sensors and a sensor connecting the sensors and a drive control. It is advantageous if the person can stand upright and the height of the washbasin is adapted to this attitude.

Preferably, the height adjustment should be able to down to the extent that the washing device can also be used as a bidet, so as a device for putting on or inserting. It is particularly advantageous if the fitting of the washing device is designed to be height-adjustable together with the washbasin.

[28] It is expedient - especially with a height-adjustable washing device - at least one receptacle for a cloth on the sink. Thus, a preferably intended for cleaning cloth is always within reach of the person.

[29] The cloth is particularly suitably designed as a hygiene towel, preferably as a disinfected, and particularly preferably as a skin-friendly, disinfected hygiene towel. Especially for genital cleansing, a towelette should be within reach. In addition, the cloth may have soft-acting caring and cleaning agents in the cloth for the sensitive parts of the body. It may also be provided that the cloth is intended for single use.

[30] It is particularly advantageous if the receptacle on the sink comprises a tentacle clasp. The corresponding counterpart is provided on the cloth. Thus, the cloth is always within reach and within reach and can also be removed from the sink for cleaning and easily re-attached without it having to be disposed of elsewhere after use.

[31] It is useful if the tentacle side of the Tentakelhaftverschlusses is provided on the receptacle on the sink and the softer loop side of the cloth. Thus, an ugly scratching area of the cloth is avoided by the tentacle area of the closure. Liermann-Castell P02493WO

Furthermore, in the washbasin lighting may be provided. Lighting directly in or on the sink allows better illumination. Also, a direct illumination can be done without light being widely spread in the room. In addition, an atmospherically subdued light, the situation can be emitted in particular for genital cleaning, without being obtrusive.

For this purpose, a light source can be arranged directly on the sink. Alternatively or additionally, a light source may be embedded in the washbasin. Alternatively or additionally, a light source can be arranged under a cover, in particular under a light-permeable cover. For this purpose, the light source may be arranged, for example, in the inner catchment area of the washbasin and / or on the washbasin and / or on the outside or underside of the washbasin. A light source with cover also allows an arrangement of the lighting in the catchment area of the sink, since the light source is covered by the cover waterproof or at least water repellent. The cover can be made of glass or a plastic. Further, the cover may be clear, colored and / or milky opaque.

[34] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the object is achieved in that the washing device comprises at least two faucets.

[35] The faucets can be designed in two or more faucets or at least two faucets can be assembled in one faucet.

[36] If two faucets are present, it is preferable that they have a consistent water temperature control. It does not mean a washbasin with a hot-water outlet and an identical looking cold-water outlet, which looks identical to the faucet, as they often do in Britain in particular.

[37] Preferably, at least two faucets have a different shape.

[38] It is also advantageous if at least two faucets have different functions. For example, a faucet for washing hands in a conventional form and function may be configured. A second faucet can take on another function, namely adapted for example for genital cleaning. Particularly preferably, the washing device has exactly two taps. Iiermann-Castell PÖ2493WO

[39] It may also be advantageous if the faucets each have a boom with mutually different lengths of the boom. For example, a first faucet for washing the hands may be determined and have a short boom, while a second faucet is intended for genital cleaning and has a correspondingly longer boom.

The length of the cantilever from the faucet for genital cleansing may be such that the jet of water extends to just before or to an edge of a washbasin of the washing device against which the person is leaning against the genital area or an adjacent part of the body. The boom of the faucet is the arm that holds a shower faucet or showerhead away from a foot or mounting base of the faucet.

[41] Particularly advantageously, at least one boom and / or a faucet is pivotally mounted. This allows a large area of a washbasin underneath to be supplied with water directly. Pivotally, in particular, on the one hand in the sense of a substantially vertical movement of the boom, on the other hand be in the sense of a substantially horizontal movement of the boom.

[42] Preferably, the boom is pivotally mounted in a substantially horizontal plane.

Preferably, two faucets are pivotable, more preferably in substantially the same plane, and more preferably pivotally arranged in a substantially horizontal plane.

[44] More advantageously, at least two outriggers of the faucets are arranged on one foot. The arms of the faucets can be arranged one above the other or side by side in the installed position. It is also an integrated design of the boom with different lengths possible.

[45] Preferably, the arms are arranged one above the other in the installed position. This is of particular advantage if at least one or even more of the arms is arranged to be pivotable, preferably substantially horizontally pivotable in the installed position.

[46] In this case, at least one of the faucets arranged on a foot can have a variable-length cantilever. For example, the boom can be telescopically extendable or retractable in one direction, or a movable hose can be moved out of the arm, which offers further flexibility.

With respect to a telescopically variable-length boom this may preferably have a detent for the change in length. This can be a detent with only one notch on one of Liermann-CasteU PÖ2493WO

8th

two or two notches may be provided at both end positions of the extension path of the boom. But it can also be provided for easier operation a finer detent with many detent steps between the end positions of the extension path.

[48] No matter in which embodiment, whether pivotable and / or variable-length boom, whether only one of the boom or both boom has one or more of these features, an arrangement of the taps on a foot in a mounting position substantially one above the other benefits for Movement possibilities of the faucets and the easier and better cover the irrigation possibilities of the washbasin underneath.

[49] Sensors may be provided to operate the water taps. With the help of the sensors, a water release of the taps can be switched on and off. Preferably, it is determined with the aid of the sensors, from which of the taps water is to be dispensed for cleaning. For example, if a person is leaning against the washbasin, the faucet can be operated with the longer boom, and if the person's body is farther from the washbasin, only the shorter faucet for washing hands is actuated.

[50] It is also possible to actuate the extension of a variable-length cantilever with the aid of the sensors. It can also be the Ausfahrweg, so the length of the boom, controlled.

Finally, a control of a swing arm of a faucet with the help of the sensors is possible. The aim is to make as few contacts of the person's hands with the one or more fittings required.

[52] Even with conventional switching on and off of the water flow via a tap valve wheel, the faucets are preferably separately controllable, particularly preferably also with regard to the water temperature.

[53] For even more flexibility in the direction of water delivery, at least one faucet may have a movable showerhead. This may be suspended in a spherical or conically movable at one end of the boom.

[54] For the advantages, effects and functioning of the washing device according to the invention with a washbasin with recess, reference is made in full to the above explanations concerning the washing device according to the invention with at least two taps - and vice versa - and hereby referred to. Every feature, function and effect of the washing Iiermann-Castell PÖ2493WO

Direction with a sink with recess may also erfindungsgeniäße washing device comprising at least two taps, and conversely, each washing device with at least two faucets include one or more aspects of the above embodiments of the washing device according to the invention with a sink with recess.

[55] In a further aspect of the invention, the washing device may comprise a basin with at least one handle. For this purpose, the wash basin can be formed in at least one area for manual gripping and / or have an additionally mounted handle.

[56] The handle can be mounted in the area of an upper edge of the washbasin and / or on one of the outer sides. The handle should allow the person to hold on during the washing process and in particular to pull himself up to the sink.

[57] Advantageously, the body can form a tight seal with the sink in the contact area, so that as little water as possible can escape from the washbasin during cleaning. By a firmer pressing of body areas against the sink of the investment area can also be increased.

[58] It is alternatively and cumulatively advantageous to the above if an air outlet with a pump serving this purpose is provided on the washing device. Thus, the cleaned body part with flowing air, especially with warm air, are dried immediately. The air outlet is preferably arranged in the front region of the washing device.

[59] It is also conceivable that such a sink be used in a hospital or a geriatric care facility. There people come to a sink with a high degree of regularity, which is difficult or impossible to lift out of a wheelchair.

[60] The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to various embodiments with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 7 is a schematic representation of a cloth in a third embodiment.

[61] Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a washing device 10 with a recess 11 in a sink 12 from the top view. The washbasin 12 is fastened to a wall 14 with one side, namely the rear wall 13.

[62] The recess 11 is provided on a side opposite to the rear wall 13 of the washbasin 12 with respect to a regular outer shape from the plan view, namely, a three-quarter oval of the wash basin 12. Furthermore, the washbasin 12 has a three-dimensional shell-shaped outer shape, wherein the washbasin 12 tapers in the installation position downwards in a side view (not shown). In this case, a mostly substantially oval-shaped outer basic shape of the washbasin 12 can be seen in the plan view.

[63] The recess 11 - based on this basic form - is an interruption of the outer basic shape on one side edge. The recess is - from the top view - in the form of a semi-oval indentation to the inside, more precisely formed to the center of the basic shape of the washbasin 12. The basic shape in plan view of the sink 12 based on the side of the recess 11 wider than designed deep.

The recess 11 is adapted in shape and / or extent to the human hip or buttocks. This is essentially adapted to the average size of these parts of the human body or adapted to the respective target group. For this purpose, for example, can be distinguished in the production of parts of the world or countries, if statistically different sizes can be expected there.

The recess 11 extends in the plan view of the sink 12 is substantially curved. Since the human anatomy in the middle of the body has substantially curved peripheral parts, the recess 11 adapted to these areas is also substantially curved. Thus, the person with the body region to be cleaned can get closer to the center of the washbasin 12 and closer to a fitting mounted in the region of the side of the rear wall 13 of the washbasin 12. Liermann-Castell PÖ2493WO

11

[66] In particular, the recess 11 corresponds in plan view of the sink 12 in terms of the width of the recess of the width of the human hip. For this purpose, an average value can be assumed, or the width can be adapted to a specific group of people, or the width can be oriented at upper average values, so that as many people as possible can use the washing device.

For example, the recess may have a width of about 30 cm to 50 cm, and a depth of, for example, at least about 5 cm, preferably from about 10 cm to 40 cm. The width was measured parallel to the wall, the depth in terms of an imaginary regular continuation or in terms of the transitions from the conventional, convex course to the concave course.

[68] The precise shaping of the recess 11 serves to ensure that the person on the one hand can fit well into the recess 11 and on the other hand should fill the recess 11 as well as possible so that as little space as possible is created between the person and the edge of the recess 11 where escape through wash water and can not be removed through the sink 12. Thus, the person gets completely closer to the fitting zoom, and at the same time generous dimension of the washbasin 12th

[69] Further, the recess 11 is arranged on the sink 12 in the plan view opposite to the side with a fitting 15. The fitting 15 has two faucets 16 and is attached to the sink 12. Each faucet 16 is attached to a base 17 designed as a base body. From the foot 17 extend radially two different lengths and pivotable in a horizontal plane ene boom 18 at the other ends in each case a conically pivoting shower head 19 is attached.

[70] At the lowest point in the sink 12, a drain 20 is arranged.

FIG. 2 likewise shows a washing device 10 according to the invention with a recess 11 in a washbasin 12 in a second exemplary embodiment. Essential features are similar to the first embodiment in the second embodiment.

[72] However, the washbasin 12 is substantially rectangular with respect to the plan view, with two recesses 11a, 11b opposite to the rear wall side 13. The recesses I Ia, IIb correspond in plan view of the sink 12 with respect to the width of each recess 1 la / b of the width of the human thigh. Therefore, in this case, two recesses IIa, IIb are provided side by side for the two thighs. As a result, the edge guide of the recess Liermann-Castell P0 ₂₄ 93WO

12

lla / b made over a large number of persons even more precise, so that between the person and the edge of the recess lla / b as little space arises, where escape through wash water and can not be removed through the sink 12. This also allows the person to get closer to the fitting 15 with a more generous dimension of the washbasin 12.

[73] Furthermore, the recesses 11a, 11b in the plan view of the washbasin 12 have a projection 21 for the genital deposit between them. The projection 21 is already formed in the space between the two adjacent recesses IIa, 1 Ib. No matter in which embodiment, ie with one or more recesses 11, the recesses 1 la / b are adapted in their dimension to the body dimensions of men close below the genital area.

[74] The projection 21 is adapted to the genital shelf on its surface to the shape of the respective body region to be deposited there. More specifically, a trough is provided in the projection 21. It can take place from the trough a discharge 22 in the direction of the outlet 20 of the washbasin 12 from the trough, because wash water is transferred from the body part to the storage projection 21 and must be discharged from there purposefully.

[75] Although not illustrated in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the wash basins 12 are arranged on the wall 14 in a height-adjustable manner. The height adjustment can be done manually in stages.

[76] Furthermore, the height adjustment can be carried out so far down that the washing device 1 can also be used as a bidet, that is, as a device for setting or inserting. In this case, the fitting 15 of the washing device 1 is raised or lowered together with the washbasin 12.

[77] Figures 3 and 4 show a washing device 10 according to the invention with two taps 16a, 16b, which are joined together in a valve 15, wherein Figure 3 is a side view and Figure 4 provides a plan view. The armature 15 is fixed with its foot 17 on the upper edge of a washbasin 12.

[78] Both faucets 16a, 16b have different shapes and also different functions. In essence, the two faucets 16a, 16b differ by the length of their arms 18a, 18b. The faucet 16b with the shorter boom 18b is designed for washing hands in a conventional form and function. The second faucet 16a with the longer boom 18a can take on a further function. Namely, this is adapted for genital cleansing. The length of the arm 18a of the faucet 16a is designed for genital cleaning in such a way that the water Liermann-Castell PÖ2493WO

13

beam to an edge of a washbasin 12 of the washing device 1, against which the person is leaning against the genital area or an adjacent part of the body. Here, with boom 18 again the part of the faucet 16 is referred to, which holds a shower head 19 of the faucet 16 by a foot 17 spaced.

[79] Both arms 18a, 18b are pivotally mounted. As a result, a large attached below a sink 12 can be supplied with water directly. The arms 18a, 18b are pivotable in the sense of a substantially horizontal movement. Further, both arms 18a, 18b are pivotally arranged in the same substantially horizontal plane. For this purpose, the two arms 18a, 18b are arranged one above the other in the installed position.

The faucet 16a with the longer boom 18a also has a variable length boom 18a. For this purpose, the boom 18a is telescopically extendable and retractable in one direction. Also, a detent for the change in length is provided on the boom 18a. For easier operation, a finer detent with many locking steps between the end positions of the extension path is provided.

[81] For even further flexibility of the direction of the water delivery, each of the two taps 16a, 16b has a movable shower head 19. These are each mounted in a conically movable manner at one end of each arm 18a, 18b.

[82] Figures 5, 6 and 7 show cloths 23 in three different embodiments. On the washbasin 12 in Figures 1 and 2 are on the outer sides of recordings 24. Thus, a specific for cleaning cloth 23 is always within reach of the person. The cloth 23 is designed as a skin-friendly disinfected hygienic towel. Furthermore, the cloth 23 has gently acting care substances and cleansing agents for the sensitive parts of the body. It is envisaged that the cloth 23 is suitable for single use.

The receptacle 24 on the sink 12 includes a Tentakelhaftverschluss. The corresponding counterpart is provided on the cloth 23. Thus, the cloth 23 is always within reach and within reach and can also be removed from the washbasin 12 for cleaning and easily re-attached without having to be disposed of elsewhere after use. The tentacle side of the Tentakelhaftverschlusses is provided on the receptacle 24 on the sink 12 and the softer loop side of the cloth 23. Thus, a nasty scraping portion of the cloth 23 is avoided by the Tentakelbereich of the closure. Liermann-Castell P02493WO
