12. The fountain according to claim 1, wherein at least three of the nozzles are spaced apart from each other at the same or different distances along the course of the nozzle carrier.

13. The fountain according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the nozzles is inseparable from the nozzle carrier such that separation of the at least one nozzle from the nozzle carrier requires destruction of the at least one nozzle and/or the nozzle carrier.

Description

(1) In the following, the invention shown above is explained in more detail by means of an example and the corresponding schematic figures.

(2) FIGS. 1 and 2 show schematically in perspective an example of a embodiment of a fountain 1000 described here, comprising a nozzle device 100 described here.

(3) In particular, it is evident from the figures that the fountain 1000 comprises at least one fluid pump 1000A for conveying a fluid, at least one pipe 1000B for conveying the fluid from a fluid container 50 to and to a nozzle device 100 in accordance with at least one of the previous embodiments, whereby after passing the fluid through the nozzle device 100, the fluid after leaving the nozzle 1, is led into at least one collecting container 60.

(4) The nozzle device 100 described here comprises several nozzles 1, whereby each of the nozzles 1 are arranged laterally offset relative to a longitudinal direction L60 of the collecting tank 60.

(5) Particularly catchy, the two figures also show that a main extension plane H2 extends essentially parallel along the longitudinal direction L60 of the collecting vessel 60 and that the main radiation direction H10 of nozzle 1 projects away from the main extension plane H2 in at least one directional component. The other thing is that the receiver 60 selected in the figures is a beer mug with a hole in the bottom, so that the fluid, for example a beer, can be returned from the beer mug to the receiver 60. This achieves a completely closed liquid circuit.

(6) In particular, a length L1 and/or the main radiation direction H10 of nozzle 1 is dimensioned in such a way that, after exiting nozzle 1, the fluid falls into the collection ratio 60 below nozzle 1 solely by the action of gravity and without ductwork.

(7) Regarding the nozzle device 100 described above, it should be noted that the nozzle device 100 comprises at least one nozzle 1, in particular an elongated nozzle 1, for the directed radiation of the fountain fluid, the nozzle 1 having a main direction of extension H1, so that the fountain fluid can be removed substantially parallel to this main direction of extension H1 along a main direction of radiation H10.

(8) In addition, the nozzle device described here comprises 100 at least one nozzle carrier 2, on which the nozzle 1 is arranged detachably or inseparably, the nozzle carrier 2 forming a nozzle carrier main extension plane H2 and wherein at least the main abstraction direction H10 of the nozzle 1 leads away from the nozzle carrier main extension plane H2 in at least one directional component.

(9) In the present embodiment example, nozzle carrier 2 has a circular shape. The entire nozzle carrier 2 is located in the main nozzle carrier plane H2 and is formed by a fluid line 20.

(10) In particular, the figures also show an elongated nozzle holder 12 of nozzle 1 and a nozzle head 13 which can be detached or inseparably arranged on a free end of nozzle holder 12. For example, the nozzle head 13 is also formed by one end of the nozzle holder 12 itself. It is also conceivable that the nozzle head 13 and the nozzle holder 12 are formed with a one-piece pipe element.
