Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary fitting according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a brass plate forms the bottom of the control cartridge.
  • the brass plate has water passage openings to the water-bearing areas of the control cartridge.
  • the water pipes are plugged into the water passage openings, screwed or soldered to the brass plate.
  • the water pipes are inserted into the water passage openings and are gripped from the outside with a male part and fixed relative to the control cartridge.
  • the plug-in part is inserted in the radial direction around the water pipes and encompasses these in each case with a claw.
  • a guide bar is arranged between the two water pipes.
  • a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned is from the WO 97/17501 A1 known.
  • the spring connector can be inserted through lateral openings in the neck and locks when inserting the water supply lines in grooves, which are provided on the water supply lines. So a relatively simple installation of the water supply lines is possible; However, the holding force of this arrangement is limited by the spring force of the spring connector.
  • the water supply lines are also introduced into connection openings of the housing bottom, which is still without cartridge at this time. Thereafter, a snap ring is ever pushed axially onto the water supply lines until it engages in a groove thereof. The snap ring thus forms a positive lock against slipping out; However, the installation effort is not negligible.
  • the DE 199 15 526 Cl describes a sanitary fitting in which the water inlet pipes are formed without a groove and are fixed axially after insertion into a receiving space of the bottom by conical tension springs. The fixation is done by a strong direction-dependent frictional force between the tension springs, which are slightly widened when inserting the water inlet pipes, and the water inlet pipes, so that slipping thereof is reliably prevented. Complicated here is a possibly required disassembly of the sanitary fitting.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in such a way that two water pipes can be easily connected to the control cartridge.
  • the clamping element is a spring clamping element.
  • a spring clamping element is elastic and can be easily inserted into a terminal receptacle of the connection device. In the inserted state, the spring clamp element presses in grooves of the water pipes due to its resilience and thus fixes the water pipes.
  • the spring clamping element (50) is arranged between the water pipes which are substantially parallel there.
  • the clamping element presses thereby saving space from the inside at the same time against both water pipes, whereby it additionally fulfills the function of a guide between the water pipes.
  • a separate guide bar is not required. To release the connection, the clamping element can be easily pulled out.
  • the legs of the Federklemmelements are each S-shaped bent so that the ends of the legs of the Federklemmelements are bent towards each other so that they Insertion into the clamping receptacle, which takes place under tensioning of the legs, easier to slide in the grooves.
  • the line receptacles can be arranged in an insert, in particular a plastic insert.
  • the line receptacles can be prepared in the factory for different sanitary fittings.
  • Plastic inserts also have the advantage that they can be easily manufactured and are easy to assemble.
  • the insert can advantageously be introduced from the side facing away from the water pipes into the receiving space, and a slip-through protection can be provided for use.
  • a housing-fixed support collar may be provided and the insert may have a support collar complementary support step, with which the use of the water pipes facing away from the support collar.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 is a total provided with the reference numeral 10 single lever mixing valve shown with a mixing lever, not shown, which also does not interest further here.
  • a control cartridge 18 is arranged, whose function is known per se, in the FIGS. 1 and 3 is shown.
  • the receiving space 14 is on its side facing the mixing lever, in FIG. 1 above, with a hemispherical spherical cap 20 completed.
  • a bottom insert 80 made of plastic, on the top of the lower portion of the control cartridge 18 is attached.
  • two through holes 81 extend, of which in FIG. 1 only one is recognizable.
  • the mouths of the through holes 81 in the upper end face of the bottom insert 80 communicate with two inlet openings for cold and hot water in the lower end face of the control cartridge 18.
  • An outlet opening for mixed water which is also located in the lower end of the control cartridge 18 communicates with a channel 82, which leads in a manner not shown to the water outlet 46 of the Einhebelmischarmatur 10.
  • the mixing lever is connected in a known manner with a society 28 of the control cartridge 18.
  • connection space 34 On the side facing away from the mixing lever of the receiving space 14 is followed by a connection space 34, which is open at its bottom.
  • the local lower edge of the fitting housing 16 is in a known manner to a washstand, not shown.
  • connection space 34 Through the open bottom of the connection space 34 lead two water supply lines 36 for hot water or cold water in the connection space 34th In FIG. 1 one of the water supply lines 36 is hidden by the other.
  • the water supply lines 36 are connected to the through-holes 81 of the bottom insert 80 via a connection device provided overall with the reference number 38.
  • the water supply lines 36 come from a known hot water or Kaltfelhaustechnisch not shown.
  • connection space 34 a circumferential support collar 40 is arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the fitting housing 16.
  • the outer casing of the bottom insert 80 has there a circumferential support step 42 complementary to the support collar 40, with which the bottom insert 80 rests against the support collar 40 from above.
  • a tapered lower connection region 44 of the bottom insert 80, which is part of the connection device 38, projects beyond the support collar 40 beyond the support step 42 into the connection space 34.
  • connection region 44 is shortened in the radial direction with respect to the main part of the bottom insert 80 on the side facing away from the water outlet 46 of the single-lever mixer 10. In this way, there is a further explained below guide gap 48 for a clamping spring 50 with removed bottom insert 80 from the outside freely accessible.
  • the bottom insert 80 and the control cartridge 18 are inserted from the open on the side of the ball cover 20 side in the fitting housing 16 and are fixed by screwing an annular screw member 84 into a thread in the lateral surface of the receiving space 14. In this case, the bottom insert 80 is pressed with its peripheral support step 42 against the support collar 40.
  • the bottom insert 80 is sealed relative to the fitting housing 16.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the bottom insert 80 has a circumferential housing groove 54 on the side facing the receiving space 14.
  • a corresponding O-ring seal 56 is arranged, which seal the water-carrying areas to the outside.
  • the support collar 40 also has a straight, in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown guide groove 62 which extends along the inner surface of the support collar 40 and the receiving space 14 and the connection space 34 is open.
  • the bottom insert 80 has a guide groove 62 complementary to the guide projection 64, which is parallel to its axis laterally on its outer circumferential surface extends and also in the FIGS. 2 and 3 is visible.
  • the guide lug 64 slides during installation of the bottom insert 80 in the guide groove 62 and thus provides the orientation of the bottom insert 80 relative to the valve body 16.
  • the guide nose 64 and the guide groove 62 act together as a guide and anti-rotation of the bottom insert 80th
