Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary concealed fitting according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • axial and radial are used to designate directions.
  • axial is meant a direction that is perpendicular to the plane of extension of the building wall in which the concealed fitting is to be installed. This direction is generally coincident with the axis of the receiving opening for the water flow controlling valve.
  • radial Each direction perpendicular thereto, which thus runs parallel to the plane of extension of the building wall in the installed state of the concealed fitting.
  • the second receiving space which contains the switching device, laterally from the first receiving space in which the water-controlling valve is located.
  • the axes of both receiving spaces run in the above sense “axially” and parallel to each other.
  • the manual actuator is a pull knob, which is connected via a serving as an actuating mechanism in this case rod with the valve stem of the switching device. To change the water flow, the pull knob is pulled away from the rosette in the axial direction; in the position in which the water flows to the shower head, the pull knob has a clear distance from the outside of the covering rosette.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary concealed fitting of the type mentioned in such a way that it is easy to use and the inspection and replaceability of the operating mechanism of the changeover is facilitated.
  • the concept mentioned above is left to offset the two receiving spaces for the water-controlling valve and the switching device laterally (radially) against each other.
  • the "depth" of the installation niche of the building wall is used, in which direction generally enough space is available.
  • the use of the "depth” happens because the two receiving spaces in the axial direction more or less in alignment, at least “one behind the other” (seen in built-in concealed fitting from the outside) are arranged.
  • the valve stem for the switching device can no longer run in the axial direction in the above sense, but must be led out in the radial direction of the housing of the flush valve.
  • the actuating mechanism corresponding to the prevailing locally "installation depths”, ie the distances between the house lines and the respective outer surface of the building wall present, must be variably adjustable.
  • the changeover device comprises a shuttle, which is linearly reciprocally movable by means of the valve stem between two valve seats.
  • the flush valve according to the invention is preferably designed so that the receiving space for the switching device extends radially and the valve stem of the switching device is movable in the radial direction.
  • a particularly convenient embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the manual actuating member is movable in the radial direction. This type of movement is not only perceived by the user as particularly pleasant; It is also characterized by the fact that the manual operation process has the same distance from the covering rosette in both positions of the changeover device in the axial direction.
  • the manual actuating element is arranged on the edge of the covering rosette.
  • the manual actuator thus projects in the radial direction over the covering rosette, which in turn allows particularly small dimensions of the cover rosette.
  • This actuating mechanism bridges different "installation depths" in that the angle between the guide bracket and the coupling bracket changes.
  • FIGS. 1 . 5 and 6 With reference to the construction of a generally designated by the reference numeral 1 sanitary flush-mounted fitting is described. In the present case, it is a single lever mixer; In principle, however, it could be any other type of sanitary flush-mounted fitting, in particular also a thermostatic mixer.
  • the concealed fitting 1 comprises a cup-shaped, upwardly open installation box 2 made of plastic, in the interior of which from bottom to top a connection body 3, an intermediate housing 4 with a switching device and - partially - a cartridge housing 5 are housed.
  • the connection body 3, the intermediate housing 4 and the cartridge housing 5 can each be understood as parts of a fitting housing 40 of the flush-mounted fitting 1 become.
  • On the upper edge of the installation box 2 is a Abdeckrosette 6, which has a relatively large, central passage opening 7. Through the passage opening 7, a region of the cartridge housing 5 extends through the outside, on the upper end side in a known manner, a spherical ring-shaped cover 8 is placed.
  • the connecting body 3 has four by 90 ° to each other angularly offset, radially penetrating the mounting box 2 connecting piece, of which in FIG. 1 three, namely the connecting pieces 9, 10 and 11, can be seen.
  • the connecting piece 9 is connected to the installation of the concealed fitting 1 with the cold water house line; the diametrically opposite connecting piece 11 is connected to the domestic hot water line.
  • a connecting pipe leading to the shower water pipe is connected.
  • a switching device housed in a receiving space 41 of the intermediate housing 4 (see. FIG. 2 ), as already indicated above, housed a switching device, with which the water flow either to the connection piece 10, ie to the tub, or to the non-illustrated connection piece, so the shower, can be passed.
  • the switching device is basically built in a known manner and therefore not shown in the drawing. It comprises a shuttle which can be moved in the axial direction between two positions in the receiving space 41 designed in the manner of a cylinder bore. In one position he closes a valve seat in the waterway leading to the shower, and in the other position, a valve seat in the waterway that communicates with the tub spout.
  • a special feature of the switching device of the flush-mounted fitting 1 is that the axis of the receiving space 41, in which the shuttle moves, extends radially.
  • the shuttle (not shown in the drawing) is actuated by a valve stem 12, which protrudes in the radial direction from the intermediate housing 4 and in FIG. 1 is recognizable.
  • the valve stem 12 carries at its outermost end an enlarged head 13th
  • the cartridge case 5 has a receiving space in which a conventional control cartridge is housed.
  • the controlling element of this control cartridge generally a movable ceramic disc, is actuated by means of a stomping 14 projecting from the upper opening of the cap 8.
  • a control lever is placed on the stül 14 in a known manner, which overlaps the cap 8 with a cap-like section. By turning and pivoting this operating lever, the temperature and the amount of effluent mixed water can be adjusted.
  • the valve stem 12 To actuate the accommodated in the intermediate housing 4 changeover, the valve stem 12 must be moved in the radial direction.
  • an actuating device which carries the reference numeral 15 in total.
  • the actuating device 15 comprises an actuating mechanism with an approximately horseshoe-shaped, the through hole 7 on one side surrounding the guide bracket 16, in the manner described below on the underside of the Abdeckrosette 6 parallel to this slidably is guided.
  • the outer ends of the legs of the guide bracket 16 At the outer ends of the legs of the guide bracket 16, the outer ends of the legs of a likewise approximately horseshoe-shaped coupling bracket 17 are articulated by means of pins 18.
  • the base of the coupling bracket 17 has a through opening 19a, through which the outer end portion of the valve stem 12 of the changeover device is guided.
  • the head 13 of the valve stem 12 is slightly larger than the diameter of the through hole 19 a of the coupling bracket 17, so that it can not slip through this through hole 19 a.
  • Bracket 16 and 17 Two legs of the two, the actuating mechanism forming bracket 16 and 17 are connected in their outer end regions by a tension spring 19 with each other.
  • the cover rosette 6 is composed of two parts, namely a support plate 6 a, the in FIG. 6 singled out on its own, as well as a decorative cover 6b covering the support plate 6a and attached thereto.
  • the base of the guide bracket 16 is integrally connected to a slide 20 which is guided laterally by two guide profiles 21, 22 integrally formed on the underside of the support plate 6a of the cover rosette 6.
  • the slider 20 penetrates in the radial direction the provided in the edge region of the cover rosette 6 hollow cylindrical structures and projects radially beyond the outer edge of the covering rosette 6 over.
  • a serving as a manual operating knob 23 is attached to the corresponding profiled slide 20, which is provided with a in FIG. 1 recognizable region 23a slidably rests on the top of the cover rosette 6 and also part of the actuator 15 is.
  • the concealed fitting 1 described above is mounted in the following manner in a wall recess according to the local conditions:
  • the entire concealed fitting 1 is inserted into the wall recess until the connecting pieces 9, 10, 11 and the connecting piece, not shown, are aligned with the corresponding connections of the house lines and can be connected to them.
  • the installation position of the flush-mounted fitting 1 is fixed. It will now be determined how far the cup-shaped installation box 2 projects beyond the outer surface, for example the tiling, of the building wall and the protruding area is cut off.
  • the support plate 6a cover rosette 6 can be placed on the upper edge of the mounting box 2 and secured by means of screws to the mounting box 2.
  • the decorative hood 6b is snapped onto the support plate 6a.
  • the assembly process is completed.
  • the sanitary concealed fitting 1 is now ready for use.
  • the operation knob 23 is in the in FIG. 1 shown position in which the switching device within the intermediate housing 4, the water to the tub outlet, ie to the in FIG. 1 forward facing connecting piece 10 passes. This position is preferred because of the different springs. If the user is changing the water flow desires on the shower, he presses with his finger, the actuating knob 23 radially outward and moves the slider 20 and the associated operating bracket 16 linearly along the underside of the covering rosette 6 along. Also, the clutch bracket 17 makes this movement.
  • FIG. 2 achieved position shown in which the valve stem 12 of the switching device is pulled out radially in the intermediate housing 4 and the associated shuttle valve closes the valve seat leading to the tub, and on the other hand opens the valve seat, which leads to the shower. Due to the water pressure of the shuttle remains in a known manner in this position, even if the user takes the finger from the operating knob 23. Only when the water is turned off with the help of the control cartridge, the water pressure acting on the shuttle drops so far that under the action of the various springs, the shuttle is returned to the preferred position in which the tub is operated with water.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown a situation in which the house lines are relocated relatively deep below the wall surface.
  • the guide bracket 16 and the clutch bracket 17 include a relatively large angle.
  • the cartridge housing 5 protrudes only slightly over the top of the covering rosette 6.
  • the operating knob 23 is located at the level of Abdeckrosette 6, wherein its area 23a, as described above, rests on the top of the cover rosette 6.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 an installation situation is shown, in which the house lines are relocated relatively close to the surface of the building wall.
  • the cylinder wall of the installation box 2 is, as can be seen from the figures, cut relatively far, so that the depth of the installation box 2 compared with the FIGS. 1 and 2 is low.
  • the guide bracket 16 and the coupling bracket 17 include a small, in the illustrated embodiment, even negative angle with each other.
  • the cartridge housing 5 protrudes relatively far beyond the Abdeckrosette 6.
  • the control knob 23, however, is in the same relative position relative to the Abdeckros rosette 6 as in the installation situation of FIGS. 1 and 2 ,
  • the flush-mounted fitting 1 described in the radial direction is relatively small. In this way it is possible to keep the cover rosette 6 small area, which is advantageous from an aesthetic point of view. Regardless of different installation depths, the actuation of the changeover device always takes place in the same way by a radial movement of the corresponding actuation button 23.
