Definitions

  • the manufacturer of the concealed fitting a whole set of functional units is provided, which are standardized so that they can all be connected to the same connector body, but contain different sanitary valves.
  • the special, desired by the client functional unit is then connected to the connector body; Finally, only the rosette covering the wall recess and the controls need to be attached.
  • connection between the functional unit and connector body is generally done by screws.
  • the screwing takes a relatively long time and is sometimes difficult to perform under confined space and poor visibility.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in such a way that the connection between the functional unit and connector body is fast and easy to produce.
  • the simplest type of movement is used for fastening the functional unit to the connecting body, with which the two parts to be joined together can be approximated to each other, namely to a linear movement.
  • the functional unit needs during assembly with its water supply means having end portion only to be moved in the direction of the connector body and partially in this, and then to establish by a locking connection that can not solve itself.
  • self-locking effects may play a role. If the functional unit to be removed again from the connector body, the unlocking device is used, with the example, the previously prevailing self-locking is canceled.
  • the connecting means comprises a plurality of rocker arms, each having two hingedly interconnected legs in an end region, of which one leg in its other end to the housing of the functional unit or a rigid is hinged with this connected part and the other leg in its other end with a movably guided on the housing of the functional unit part, wherein a spring means is provided, which seeks to push the hingedly interconnected end portions of the two legs of the two rocker arms radially outwards, and wherein the terminal body has an internal recess into which the hinged end portions of the rocker arms can engage.
  • the rocker arms are the locking elements, the more interconnected end portions of which protrude radially outward, the smaller the angle between the two legs.
  • the spring device seeks to keep this angle as small as possible, so as far as possible to push the interconnected end portions radially outward. In this position, then the end regions engage in the return of the connector body, so that retraction of the functional unit is initially no longer possible.
  • the rocker arms are stretched again by means of the part movably guided on the housing of the functional unit, ie if the angle between the two legs of the rocker arms is increased, the radial projection of the interconnected end areas of the two legs of the rocker arm can be reduced so that the functional unit of the Terminal body can be removed.
  • At least one leg of the rocker arm on a bearing surface with which it rests in the detent position in which the functional unit is connected to the terminal body, on a surface of the terminal body.
  • Such a contact surface contributes to the self-locking of the connection.
  • flush-mounted fitting is a member of a whole set of concealed fittings, which are optionally used in individual cases.
  • the various concealed fittings that belong to the set differ in their function.
  • one member of this set may be a single-lever mixer, another member of the set may be a thermostatic mixer, and a third member of the set may be a two-handle faucet.
  • All flush valves 1 belonging to the set consist of two main components together, namely a terminal body 2 and a so-called "functional unit" 3.
  • the terminal body 2 which will be described in more detail below, is the same for all members of the sentence; the "functional unit" 3, however, is different for the different members of the set of concealed fittings.
  • the detailed structure of both the terminal body 2 and the functional unit 3 is not of interest in the present context; it is described only to the extent necessary to understand the manner in which the functional unit 3 is attached to the connector body 2.
  • the terminal body 2 has the basic shape of an upwardly open cup or a shell, in the lower region four connecting pieces 4, 5, 6, 7 are introduced.
  • the connecting pieces 4, 5, 6, 7 separate from the connector body 2; however, they can also be integral with this.
  • Water-carrying channels in the connection piece 4, 5, 6, 7 lead to four substantially cylindrical, paraxial bore holes 46, of which only one can be seen in Figure 2 and which are out of the bottom portion of the connector body 2 slightly upwards.
  • annular groove 13 is formed in the inner circumferential surface thereof.
  • inner circumferential surface of the terminal body 2 are also four relatively wide, axially parallel grooves 9, 10, 11, 12, which are guided to the annular upper end face of the terminal body 2 and the annular groove 13 intersect.
  • the four axially parallel grooves 9, 10, 11, 12 and the annular groove 13 are used in the manner to be described below the attachment of the functional unit 3 to the connector body. 2
  • the connector body 2 is mounted in a niche of the corresponding building wall at a corresponding depth in a relatively early stage of expansion of the housing.
  • the four connecting pieces 4, 5, 6, 7 are connected to corresponding laid in the wall of the building house lines.
  • the connecting pieces 5, 7, in which additionally shut-off valves can be arranged, are connected to the cold water or domestic hot water line, while the connecting pieces 4, 6 are connected to those lines leading to a shower or a bath spout.
  • the terminal body 2 initially remains alone in the niche of the building wall, which is closed during this time in a suitable manner. Only in the final stage of interior design, the builder must decide what type of concealed fitting 1 he wants. Then the respective correct functional unit 3 is selected from the available set and connected to the terminal body 2 in a manner described below.
  • the functional unit 3 has a substantially cylindrical adapter housing 14, in the upper region 14a of which a receiving space for a valve cartridge 15 is provided.
  • a valve cartridge 15 is provided at the top of the valve cartridge 15.
  • the skilled artisan recognizes at the top of the valve cartridge 15 toerumblenden Stellschaft 16, that in the present case is the valve cartridge of a single-lever mixer.
  • connection pattern which is formed by the four insertion pieces 19, 20, 21, 22, is complementary to the connection pattern formed by the connection openings 46 in the connection body 2.
  • O-ring seal 23 a On the outer circumferential surface of the Einsteckstutzen 19, 20, 21, 22 is in each case an O-ring seal 23 a. It is used in the assembled state of the sealing of the Einsteckstutzens 19, 20, 21, 22 against the lateral surface of the correspondingchiröffung 46 in the connector body. 2
  • the receiving space in the upper region 14a of the adapter housing 14 is substantially cylindrical and has a bottom surface into which three water-carrying channels open. Two of these water-bearing channels lead directly to those Einsteckstutzen 19, 22, which are introduced in mounted functional part 3 in those receiving openings 46 of the connector body 2, which communicate with the cold water or domestic hot water line.
  • the valve cartridge 15 is supplied with hot and cold water via these channels.
  • a third, in the bottom surface of the receiving space opening and not shown in the drawing channel leads to a provided in the lower region 14b of the adapter housing 14 switching device, which also not is shown. From the switching device, two channels extend to the plug-in connection 20 and 21, which are introduced in mounted flush-mounted fitting 1 in those connection openings 46 of the connecting body 2, which communicate with the bath spout or the shower.
  • the arrangement is thus that, that the functional part 3 can be inserted in advance with its Einsteckstutzen 19, 20, 21, 22 in the connector body 2, whereby the necessary water connections between the laid in the building wall lines and the valve cartridge 15 are produced in the functional unit 3 ,
  • the lowermost portion 14c of the adapter housing 14, which is adjacent to the lower end face, has a slightly larger diameter than the overlying portion 14b, such that a small step 14d is formed between the portions 14b and 14c.
  • a retaining ring 26 is press-fitted from above, which engages with radially inwardly projecting arcuate projections 27 in the grooves 24 of the adapter housing portion 14 b and in this way relative to the adapter housing 14 against axial displacement and Twist is secured.
  • the retaining ring 26 also has outwardly projecting, arcuate projections 28, between which stepped grooves 29 remain, whose central region is slightly lower than the two outer regions.
  • An actuating ring 30 with a round, outwardly projecting actuating bead is also pushed from above over the region 14b of the adapter housing 14; Its inner contour is designed to be complementary to the outer contour of the region 14b, so that the actuating ring 30 is not rotated relative to the adapter housing 14, but can be displaced axially with respect to this.
  • a compression spring 32 is braced between a in a groove of the adapter housing 14 inserted counter-ring 31 and the upper end face of the actuating ring 30, a compression spring 32 is braced.
  • the actuating ring 30 comprises a slightly downwardly axially extending approximately cylindrical collar 30a, which is connected in the following manner by a plurality of rocker arms 33 with the retaining ring 26:
  • Each of these rocker arms 33 comprises an upper leg 33a and a lower leg 33b, the one another facing end portions are hinged together.
  • the opposite end portion of the upper leg 33a of each rocker arm 33 is hinged to the collar 30a of the actuating ring 30, while the end portion of the lower leg 33b remote from the junction between the two legs 33a, 33b is hinged to the retaining ring 26.
  • the rocker arms 33 are divided in the illustrated embodiment into four groups, each comprising three rocker arms 33, wherein the pivot points of the lower Legs 33b are each located in the lowest region of the grooves 29 of the retaining ring 26. These relationships become particularly clear from FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the functional unit 3 thus equipped can now be detachably connected to the connector body 2 in the following manner:
  • the lower end portion of the functional unit 3 with the male studs 19, 20, 21, 22 is inserted in advance from above into the connector body 2.
  • the outer projections 28 of the retaining ring 26 engage in the grooves 9, 10, 11, 12 of the connector body 2 a.
  • the functional unit 3 is hereby guided in an angle of rotation downwards, so that the insertion pieces 19, 20, 21, 22 reach the connection openings 46 of the connection body 2.
  • the actuating ring 30 is pushed down as far as possible by the compression spring 32. This has the consequence that the junction between the two legs 33a, 33b of the rocker arm 33 is pressed radially outward.
  • the outermost portions of the rocker arms 33 lie on a circle whose radius is greater than the radius of the inner circumferential surface of the terminal body 2.
  • the functional unit 3 can not be solved by simple axial train on the adapter housing 14 of the connector body 2 now. Rather, when the functional unit 3 is to be removed again, the actuating ring 30 must be pulled axially against the action of the compression spring 32. In this process, the legs 33a, 33b of the rocker arm 33 stretch again, so that the position shown in Figure 6 is reached again. By continued axial train on the actuating ring 30, the functional unit 3 can now be removed again from the terminal body 2.
