Description

Water fountain
Description
The invention concerns a water fountain consisting of a water supply and a flow system from the point of water supply which contains a stand for vertically feeding water upwards to the outlet holes from where water is sprayed from the fountain.
It is well known that there are a large number of water fountains in which a stream of water moves upwards through a vertical stand from the water supply to outlet holes or jets, which separate the flow of water into individual jets of water that are projected out into the surrounding space. The flow direction of the out flowing water jets varies, a parabolic trace of the individual streams is proposed variously in order to achieve the required water fan from the outlet holes .
Individual water jets create a continuous water jet over a certain path which before touching the ground or water level scatter and instead of a laminar jet hitting the impact point it breaks up before touching the impact point .
Attempts have already been made at achieving a continuous fan from the outlet of water from outlet holes by creating an outlet circular ring to allow water out from the inlet stand, by setting the angle of the water jet and the pressure of the water flowing out. These designs have proven to be unsuitable for larger sized fountains and their use in larger areas has proven that a continuous water fan cannot be achieved. The objective of this invention is therefore to create a water fountain design which allows an illusory continuous water jacket to be created from the outlet of water from the water inlet stand to the point of contact with the impact point, whereas it will be applicable for a larger range of sizes.
The subject matter of the invention consists in the fact that a water fountain comprised of a water supply and flow system from the water supply, containing a stand for vertically feeding water upwards to the outlet holes from where water is sprayed from the fountain, has according to the invention, a hollow stand made from a vertical jacket whose upper moulded external part is connected to a covering plate under which there is a set of mutually separated outlet nozzles. The outlet nozzles can be suitably arranged in at least two rows, one above the other, and the outlet nozzles of one row lie outside the vertical plane of the outlet nozzles in the neighbouring row. The outlet nozzles can be suitably arranged so that they are adjustable in the vertical radial plane. The position of outlet nozzles can be made to be suitably adjustable depending on the water pressure in the stand. The cross-section of the stand can be expanded in the direction of the covering plate. The stand can also be telescopic or attached to a floating frame.
The advantage of the water fountain according to this technical design is its possibility of achieving the illusion of continuous water jacket from the water jets of the stand to the point of contact and it is applicable irrespective of its size. Another advantage resulting from the layout of the outlet nozzles in rows one above another is the possibility to create a thick water jacket without disturbing individual jets of water from individual outlet nozzle orifices. Another advantage of this invention consists in the possibility of using such a water jacket as a projection surface.
The enclosed images schematically show the water fountain according to the invention, where Figure 1 presents the fountain in outline and Figure 2 presents a plan view if the fountain.
Water flows from the water supply (not drawn) and passes through the hollow stand 1 to its upper edge, the outer part 4 of which is randomly shaped, e.g. circular, elliptical, etc. The outer part 4 is connected to the covering plate 2. A set of outlet nozzles 3 is positioned under the covering plate 2 around the circumference of the jacket.
The outlet nozzles 3 can be hinged, albeit in vertical planes passing through the axes of outlet nozzles 3. The actual hinges of outlet nozzles 3 can be made with known means, e.g. fitting the outlet nozzles 3 in not illustrated pins, whose common axis passes through the axis of the outlet nozzle 3 and is perpendicular to it. Not illustrated pins for hinges of outlet nozzles 3 can have a common axis which is perpendicular to the axis of the outlet nozzle 3, however skew to this axis. This therefore means that the swing of outlet nozzles 3 is dependent on the water pressure in the stand at the height of the outlet nozzle 3. By adjusting the position of the outlet nozzle, or the size of their orifices it is possible to even better achieve a flow of water from the outlet nozzles 3 that connects with the continuous compact surface in the radial and vertical direction and reaching to the horizontal plane at the foot of the stand onto which the flow of water coming from the outlet nozzles 3 falls.
Stand 1 extends in the direction of the outer part 4 which provides for creating a larger area for arranging more outlet nozzles 3. A greater number of outlet nozzles 3 provides for the creation of a greater impression of a continuous water surface made up of individual water jets coming from the outlet nozzles 3. The continuity of this water surface, however, reduces in the direction away from the stand 1. For this reason another row of outlet nozzles 3' is positioned under the row 3, again lying out of the vertical plane of the row 3 directly above it. The number of rows of outlet nozzles 3 , 3 ' can be randomly chosen and their size and direction of swivel is given with the aim of creating the illusion of a continuous water jacket even at greater distances from the stand 1.
The pressure of water entering the outlet nozzles 3, 3' is the same for all outlet nozzles 3, 3" fox achieving the primary desired effect, i.e. so that the water jacket from leaving the stand 1 until it makes contact with the ground or another surface (water level) is coherent throughout its whole path and preferably is as thick as possible, and is related to the set-up of individual nozzles 3, 3' in individual rows and in the selection of the sizes of their outlet orifices.
The outer part 4 at the end of the stand 1 can be shaped randomly depending on the required shape of the water jacket from the fountain. Only one row of outlet nozzles 3 can be positioned around the outer part, whereas there can be more rows of outlet nozzles 3, 3" in the other part. It is also possible to design the stand 1 as an extendable stand, e.g. telescopic, depending on the area where the fountain is built. If the fountain is installed in water at the water level it can be floating, i.e. the stand 1 is attached to a floating frame.
