Abstract

A sanitary conduit, in particular for a shower device, is useful, for example, as a shower arm conduit in a shower system. The sanitary conduit has a rigid, hollow conduit housing including a base body ( 10 ′a ) and a housing wall removably attached to the base body. At least one flexible conduit ( 12 a, 12 b ) is inserted in the hollow conduit housing and is made from a flexural conduit material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sanitary conduit for a shower device, comprising:
a rigid, hollow conduit housing provided with a connection to a head shower configured to be mounted at a shower room wall, said conduit housing comprising a base body and a housing wall removably attached to said base body, and
at least one flexible conduit comprising a flexural conduit material, wherein the conduit is inserted in the hollow conduit housing,
wherein a housing wall of at least one of a shower arm section and a shower arm, leading to the head shower of the sanitary conduit, forms one of a top-side housing cover and an underside housing cover on the hollow conduit housing.

2. The sanitary conduit according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible conduit comprises one of a flexural synthetic material hose conduit and a flexural metal conduit.

3. The sanitary conduit according to claim 1 , further comprising a structure for one of fixing and lateral guidance of the at least one conduit in the conduit housing.

4. The sanitary conduit according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one connection nipple coupled to an end of the at least one conduit.

5. The sanitary conduit according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of said flexible conduits are arranged fluidically in parallel and juxtaposed in the conduit housing.

6. The sanitary conduit according to claim 5 , further comprising a multi-connection nipple having a plurality of connection openings which are coupled to an end of in each case one of the flexible conduits, and having a common opening as one of an outlet and inlet opening for at least one of the connection openings.

7. The sanitary conduit according to claim 6 , further comprising a shower arm conduit of a shower device.

8. The sanitary conduit according to claim 7 , wherein the multi-connection nipple forms a connection for the coupled flexible conduits to a shower head of the shower device.

9. The sanitary conduit according to claim 7 , wherein out of the plurality of flexible conduits, a first conduit is couplable to a first shower jet region of the shower device and a second conduit is couplable to a second shower jet region of the shower device separate from the first region.

10. The sanitary conduit according to claim 8 , wherein for use in the shower device, said conduit comprises a shower wall sided section and a shower arm section extending in an angled manner relative to said wall sided section.

11. The sanitary conduit according to claim 5 , further comprising a multi-connection nipple having a plurality of connection openings that are coupled to an end of in each case one of the flexible conduits, and having separated openings for the connection openings.

12. The sanitary conduit according to claim 1 , further comprising a shower arm conduit of a shower device.

13. The sanitary conduit according to claim 8 , wherein out of the plurality of flexible conduits, a first conduit is couplable to a first shower jet region of the shower device and a second conduit is couplable to a second shower jet region of the shower device separate from the first region.
