Abstract
The guide member ( ) for a liquid jet ( ) to be deflected allows a liquid ( ) after flowing out of a container ( ) to be deflected onto a target ( ) which is located below the container. The deflecting takes place by means of a shaped material plate ( ) which is arranged ahead of an outlet opening ( ) of the container and which reshapes and further conducts the jet ( ) in such a manner that the liquid is conveyed to the target at a lower end ( ) of the shaped material plate. At the location ahead of the outlet opening ( ), where the liquid jet ( ) is incident onto the shaped material plate ( ), a first and a second piece of surface ( and respectively) of the material plate form a mouth region ( ) in which the first piece of surface ( ) deflects the liquid ( ) transversely with respect to the vertical, whereas the second piece of surface ( ) is provided as a catcher for squirts. The first piece of surface merges into a channel ( ) in which the liquid is guided downwards. In this the wall of the second piece of surface divides the channel off from the mouth region. In modified form the guide member can also be assembled from a plurality of shaped material plates.
