An adapter for connection to a liquid faucet comprises an inlet member, a coaxial outlet member, and a valve device which is rotatable relative to the outlet member about an axis common to the inlet and outlet members. The inlet member is connectable to the outlet end of the liquid faucet. The outlet member has several outlet openings or groups of outlet openings separated from each other. The valve device is rotated in order to continuously adjust the opening ratio between the various outlet openings of the outlet member relative to each other, thereby providing a precisely regulated amount of liquid which is branched off from the liquid faucet for operating auxiliary devices such as a douche.

An adapter for connection to an outflow end of a liquid faucet, comprising a central axis, an inlet part and an outlet part disposed in axial alignment with said inlet part relative to said central axis, valve means operatively disposed between said inlet part and said outlet part for rotation about said central axis, said inlet part comprising at one side thereof means for connection to said outflow end of the liquid faucet, said inlet part further comprising at the other side thereof a first plane end face (17) and a plurality of first flow channel means (23 to 27) extending through said inlet part from said one side to said other side of said inlet part, said outlet part comprising a second plane end face (18) facing said first plane end face (17) of said inlet part, and exit port means substantially opposite said second plane end face, said outlet part further comprising a plurality of second flow channel means extending from said second plane end face to said exit port means, means operatively connecting said inlet part and said outlet part to each other for rotating the outlet part relative to the inlet part, said valve means further comprising valve sealing body means operatively located between said inlet part and said outlet part, said valve sealing body means being subject to the liquid pressure from said faucet through at least one of said first flow channel means whereby said valve sealing body means control the size of the cross-sectional flow area between said at least one first flow channel means and a respective one of said second flow channel means in response to rotation of said outlet part relative to said inlet part, while simultaneously providing the necessary sealing and whereby the ratio of open cross-sectional flow area to closed cross-sectional area is continuously adjustable by said rotation.
