The kit according to the invention thus includes an assembly aid, which can also be used as structural protection. With this the key is inserted into the opening of the housing. In addition, with this mounting tool, the button is positioned in the opening in a recessed position. In this position, the button on the receiving part is attached with the mounting tool. The receiving part preferably has a plurality of fastening positions, so that the key can be fastened on the receiving part precisely and in particular flush with the outside of the housing, independently of tolerance deviations. In particular, the key can be mounted on the receiving part in such a way that it is completely recessed in said opening such that a front side of the key is flush with a front side of the device. In principle, however, another positioning is possible in which, for example, the front side of the key is arranged deeper or less deeply with respect to a front side of the device.

Die Vorrichtung dient insbesondere zum Betätigen des Ablaufventils einer Badewanne. Das Ventil kann aber auch ein anderes Ventil sein, beispielsweise das Ablaufventil eines Spülkastens oder eines Waschbeckens.The device is used in particular for actuating the drain valve of a bathtub. The valve may also be another valve, such as the drain valve of a cistern or a washbasin.

Die Taste wird zum Betätigen des Ventils in der genannten Öffnung des Gehäuses achsial bewegt. Grundsätzlich ist aber auch eine andere Bewegung, beispielsweise eine Drehbewegung der Taste möglich.The button is moved axially to actuate the valve in said opening of the housing. In principle, however, another movement, for example a rotary movement of the button is possible.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Taste zu ihrer Montage in einer vorbestimmten Position auf das Montagehilfsmittel aufsteckbar. Hierzu besitzt das Montagehilfsmittel beispielsweise Schlitze, in die seitlich vorspringende Flügel der Taste eingesetzt werden können. Die Taste ist damit auf dem Montagehilfsmittel zudem drehsicher gelagert. Durch die genaue Positionierung der Taste am Montagehilfsmittel kann diese entsprechend genau in die Öffnung des Gehäuses eingeführt und positioniert werden.According to a development of the invention, the key for mounting in a predetermined position on the mounting tool can be plugged. For this purpose, the mounting tool has, for example, slots in the laterally projecting wings of the button can be used. The button is thus also mounted on the mounting tool rotation-proof. Due to the exact positioning of the button on the mounting tool, it can be inserted and positioned in accordance exactly with the opening of the housing.

Die Vorrichtung 1 besitzt gemäss Figur 1 ein Gehäuse 5, das hinter einer Öffnung 4 einer hier abschnittsweise gezeigten Wandung 3 einer Badewanne 2 befestigt ist. Die Befestigung erfolgt mit einer Rosette 12, die mit einem rohrförmigen Schaft 19, der ein Aussengewinde 20 aufweist, in eine Öffnung 14 des Gehäuses 5 eingreift. Zwischen dem Gehäuse 5 und der Rosette 12 ist eine Dichtung 17 angeordnet, welche die Öffnung 4 der Wandung 3 umgibt und die mit einem Flansch 16 des Gehäuses 5 verbunden ist.The device 1 has according to FIG. 1 a housing 5, which is fastened behind an opening 4 of a wall 3 of a bath 2 shown here in sections. The attachment takes place with a rosette 12, which engages with a tubular shaft 19 which has an external thread 20 in an opening 14 of the housing 5. Between the housing 5 and the rosette 12, a seal 17 is arranged, which surrounds the opening 4 of the wall 3 and which is connected to a flange 16 of the housing 5.

Das Gehäuse 5 besitzt rückseitig einen abnehmbaren Deckel 13 sowie einen nach unten ragenden Stutzen 9, der an eine hier nicht gezeigte Rohrleitung anschliessbar ist, welche die Vorrichtung 1 mit einer hier nicht gezeigten Ablaufleitung verbindet. Die Rosette 12 bildet eine Überlauföffnung 11, durch welche Wasser aus der Wanne 2 in den Stutzen 9 und schliesslich in die erwähnte Ablaufleitung abfliessen kann. Die Überlauföffnung 11 soll verhindern, dass die Wanne 2 beim Füllen mit Wasser überläuft.The housing 5 has at the back a removable cover 13 and a downwardly projecting nozzle 9, which is connectable to a pipe, not shown here, which connects the device 1 with a drain line, not shown here. The rosette 12 forms an overflow opening 11, through which water can flow from the tub 2 in the nozzle 9 and finally in the mentioned drain line. The overflow opening 11 is intended to prevent the tub 2 from overflowing when filling with water.

Im Gehäuse 5 ist ein Hebel 6 einer Betätigungsvorrichtung gelagert, der über ein Gelenk 7 mit einem Aufnahmeteil 8 verbunden ist. Auf das Aufnahmeteil 8 ist gemäss Figur 7 eine Taste 15 aufgesetzt, die insbesondere eine Drucktaste ist. Durch Drücken der Taste 15 kann der Hebel 6 verschwenkt und dadurch das hier nicht gezeigte am Boden der Wandung 3 angeordnete Ablaufventil betätigt werden. Hierzu ist der Hebel 6 in an sich bekannter Weise mit dem in Figur 8 angedeuteten Bowdenzug 21 mit dem Verschlusskörper des Ablaufventils verbunden. Zur Führung des Bowdenzugs 21 ist am Gehäuse 5 eine Führung 10 angeordnet. Dem Fachmann sind auch geeignete Umschaltvorrichtungen bekannt, die eine einfache Betätigung des Ablaufventils ermöglichen. Durch Drücken der Taste 15 kann dann das Ablaufventil geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Das Ventil ist nicht zwingend ein Ablaufventil einer Badewanne, es kann auch ein anderes Ventil eines Sanitärartikels sein.In the housing 5, a lever 6 of an actuator is mounted, which is connected via a hinge 7 with a receiving part 8. On the receiving part 8 is according to FIG. 7 a button 15 is placed, which is in particular a push button. By pressing the button 15, the lever 6 can be pivoted and thus the not shown here at the bottom of the wall 3 arranged drain valve can be actuated. For this purpose, the lever 6 in a conventional manner with the in FIG. 8 indicated Bowden cable 21 connected to the closure body of the drain valve. To guide the Bowden cable 21, a guide 10 is arranged on the housing 5. The skilled person is also known suitable switching devices that allow easy operation of the drain valve. By pressing the button 15, the drain valve can then be opened and closed. The valve is not necessarily a drain valve of a bathtub, it may also be another valve of a sanitary article.

Das Aufnahmeteil 8 ist gemäss Figur 10 hülsenförmig ausgebildet und besitzt innenseitig einen quer verlaufenden stabförmigen Mitnehmer 22, der mit dem Hebel 6 gelenkig verbunden ist. Aussenseitig sind am Aufnahmeteil 8 diagonal gegenüberliegend zwei Zahnungen 23 und jeweils eine Rastrippe 24 angeordnet. Die Rastrippen 24 und die Zahnungen 23 erstrecken sich achsial, d.h. in der Richtung, in welcher das Aufnahmeteil 8 zur Betätigung des Ventils bewegt wird. Der stabförmige Mitnehmer 22 kann hier beispielsweise auf den Hebel 6 aufgerastet werden.The receiving part 8 is according to FIG. 10 sleeve-shaped and has on the inside a transversely extending rod-shaped carrier 22 which is pivotally connected to the lever 6. On the outside, two toothing 23 and one locking rib 24 are arranged diagonally opposite each other on the receiving part 8. The locking ribs 24 and the Serrations 23 extend axially, ie in the direction in which the receiving part 8 is moved to actuate the valve. The rod-shaped driver 22 can be snapped onto the lever 6 here, for example.

Die Taste 15 besitzt einen im Wesentlichen zylindrischen hohlen Tastengrundkörper 25, auf den eine Kappe 26 aufgesetzt, beispielsweise aufgerastet ist. Die Taste 15 könnte grundsätzlich aber auch einstückig ausgebildet sein. Der Tastengrundkörper 25 besitzt an einer Innenseite 37 zwei gegenüberliegende Zahnungen 27, die bei befestigter Taste 15 in die Zahnungen 23 des Aufnahmeteils 8 eingreifen. Korrespondierend zu den Rastrippen 24 des Aufnahmeteils 8 sind an der Innenseite des Tastengrundkörpers 25 Rastrillen 43 angeordnet. Bei befestigter Taste 15 sind in diese Rastrillen 43 die Rastrippen 24 eingerastet. Die Zahnungen 23 und 27 bilden Zahnreihen, die sich achsial, d.h. in Bewegungsrichtung der Taste 15 erstrecken, wie insbesondere die Figur 2 zeigt.The button 15 has a substantially cylindrical hollow key body 25, on which a cap 26 is placed, for example, snapped. The button 15 could basically be formed in one piece. The key base body 25 has on an inner side 37 two opposite serrations 27, which engage in the teeth 23 of the receiving part 8 when the key 15 is fastened. Corresponding to the locking ribs 24 of the receiving part 8 25 latching grooves 43 are arranged on the inside of the key body. When the button 15 is fixed, the locking ribs 24 are engaged in these locking grooves 43. The serrations 23 and 27 form rows of teeth that extend axially, ie in the direction of movement of the key 15, in particular the FIG. 2 shows.

An einer Umfangsfläche 31 des Tastengrundkörpers 25 sind vier radial nach aussen vorspringende Flügel 28 angeordnet, die jeweils in einen Schlitz 29 der Kappe 26 eingreifen, wie die Figur 5 zeigt. Die Kappe 26 ist somit auf dem Tastengrundkörper 25 drehsicher positioniert. Die Kappe 26 besitzt frontseitig eine Tastfläche 30, an welcher die Taste 15 von Hand gedrückt werden kann. Die Flügel 28 sind so ausgebildet, dass sie die Taste 15 in der Überlauföffnung verschieblich führen. Die Taste 15 ist somit in der Überlauföffnung 11 in Achsialrichtung verschiebbar und hierbei seitlich im Schaft 19 abgestützt.On a peripheral surface 31 of the key body 25 four radially outwardly projecting wings 28 are arranged, each engaging in a slot 29 of the cap 26, as the FIG. 5 shows. The cap 26 is thus positioned on the keypad body 25 against rotation. The cap 26 has on the front side a touch surface 30, on which the button 15 can be pressed by hand. The wings 28 are configured to slidably guide the button 15 in the overflow opening. The button 15 is thus displaceable in the overflow opening 11 in the axial direction and in this case supported laterally in the shaft 19.

Die Taste 15 wird am Aufnahmeteil 8 befestigt, indem sie in die Überlauföffnung 11 eingesetzt und um ihre Achse gedreht wird. Beim Einsetzen der Taste 15 befinden sich die Zahnungen 27 in Umfangsrichtung gesehen neben den Zahnungen 23 des Aufnahmeteils 8. Wird die Taste 15 gedreht, so greifen die Zahnungen 27 in die Zahnungen 23 ein und schliesslich wird die Taste 15 an den Rastrippen 24 verrastet. Der Drehwinkel beträgt beispielsweise etwa 60°. Da sich die Zahnungen 23 und 27 sowie die Rastrippen 24 und die Rastrillen 43 in Achsialrichtung erstrecken, kann die Taste 15 in unterschiedlichen achsialen Positionen mit dem Aufnahmeteil 8 verbunden werden.The button 15 is attached to the receiving part 8 by being inserted into the overflow opening 11 and rotated about its axis. When inserting the key 15, the serrations 27 are circumferentially next to the teeth 23 of the receiving part 8. If the key 15 is rotated, the serrations 27 engage in the teeth 23 and finally the key 15 is latched to the locking ribs 24. The rotation angle is for example about 60 °. Since the serrations 23 and 27 and the locking ribs 24 and the locking grooves 43 extend in the axial direction, the key 15 can be connected in different axial positions with the receiving part 8.

Zum Befestigen der Taste 15 am Aufnahmeteil 8 ist das in den Figuren 3 und 6 gezeigte Montagehilfsmittel 36 vorgesehen. Dieses besitzt einen rohrförmigen Schaft 38, an dem ein radial nach aussen vorspringender Kragen 18 angeformt ist. Der Schaft 38 besitzt vier Schlitze 39 sowie am vorderen Ende innenseitig Rastrippen 40. Die Taste 15 kann lösbar mit dem Montagehilfsmittel 36 verbunden werden, wobei diese mit der Kappe 26 in einen Durchgang 41 des Schaftes 38 so eingesetzt wird, dass die Flügel 28 in die Schlitze 39 eingreifen. Sind die Flügel 28 vollständig in die Schlitze 39 eingesetzt, so ist die Taste 15 im Schaft 28 durch die Rastrippe 40 verrastet, wie die Figur 8 zeigt. Die Taste 15 ist somit in einer vorbestimmten Position in den Durchgang 41 eingesetzt und drehsicher mit dem Schaft 38 verbunden.To attach the button 15 on the receiving part 8 is in the FIGS. 3 and 6 shown mounting tool 36 is provided. This has a tubular shaft 38 on which a radially outwardly projecting collar 18 is formed. The shaft 38 has four slots 39 and at the front end inside locking ribs 40. The button 15 can be detachably connected to the mounting tool 36, which is used with the cap 26 in a passage 41 of the shaft 38 so that the wings 28 in the Slots 39 intervene. Are the wings 28 completely inserted into the slots 39, the key 15 is locked in the shaft 28 by the locking rib 40, like the FIG. 8 shows. The key 15 is thus inserted in a predetermined position in the passage 41 and rotatably connected to the shaft 38.

An einer Frontseite 34 des Montagehilfsmittels 36 ist ein Ansatz 32 angeordnet, der zwei seitlich radial vorragende Griffe 42 besitzt. Am Ansatz 32 und den beiden Griffen 42 kann das Montagehilfsmittel 36 mit der aufgesetzten Taste 15 gefasst und in die Überlauföffnung 11 eingeführt werden. Die Taste 15 hat die vorgesehene Tiefenposition erreicht, sobald der Kragen 18 an einer Frontfläche 35 der Rosette 12 anliegt. Der Kragen 18 der Rosette 12 wird hierbei von einer Vertiefung 33 des Kragens 18 vollständig aufgenommen. Ist das Montagehilfsmittel 36 an die Rosette 12 angelegt, so wird dieses an den Griffen 42 gedreht, wobei die Zahnungen 27 der Taste 15 mit den Zahnungen 23 des Aufnahmeteils 8 in Eingriff kommen und schliesslich durch das Verrasten der Rippen 24 in den Rastrillen 43 die Endposition erreicht wird. Mit dem Montagehilfsmittel 36 wird somit die Taste 15 in der vorgesehenen Tiefenposition mit dem Aufnahmeteil 8 verbunden bzw. verrastet.On a front side 34 of the mounting aid 36, a projection 32 is arranged, which has two laterally radially projecting handles 42. At the base 32 and the two handles 42, the assembly aid 36 can be taken with the attached button 15 and inserted into the overflow opening 11. The button 15 has reached the intended depth position as soon as the collar 18 rests against a front surface 35 of the rosette 12. The collar 18 of the rosette 12 is in this case completely absorbed by a recess 33 of the collar 18. If the mounting aid 36 is applied to the rosette 12, this is rotated on the handles 42, wherein the serrations 27 of the key 15 with the teeth 23 of the receiving part 8 engage and finally by the locking of the ribs 24 in the locking grooves 43, the final position is reached. With the mounting tool 36 thus the key 15 is connected or latched in the intended depth position with the receiving part 8.

Die Figur 8 zeigt das Montagehilfsmittel 36 in der an der Rosette 12 angelegten Position. Die Taste 15 ist hier mit dem Aufnahmeteil 8 verbunden. Das Montagehilfsmittel 36 kann nun wieder abgenommen werden. Hierzu wird die Taste 15 nach innen gedrückt, so dass die Rastung zwischen dem Montagehilfsmittel 36 und der Taste 15 aufgehoben wird. Die Taste 15 ist am Aufnahmeteil 8 so befestigt, dass die Tastfläche 30 bündig ist zur Frontfläche 35 der Rosette 12, wie die Figuren 7 und 8 zeigen.The FIG. 8 shows the mounting tool 36 in the position applied to the rosette 12 position. The button 15 is connected here to the receiving part 8. The assembly tool 36 can now be removed again. For this purpose, the button 15 is pressed inward, so that the detent between the assembly tool 36 and the button 15 is released. The button 15 is attached to the receiving part 8 so that the touch surface 30 is flush with the front surface 35 of the rosette 12, as the FIGS. 7 and 8 demonstrate.

Das Montagehilfsmittel 36 kann vor dem Montieren der Taste 15 als Bauschutz auf die Rosette 12 aufgesetzt werden. Dadurch kann insbesondere die Rosette 12 gegen eine Beschädigung geschützt werden. Soll schliesslich bei Bauabschluss die Taste 15 montiert werden, so wird das Montagehilfsmittel 36 von der Rosette 12 abgenommen und die Taste 15 wie oben erläutert am Montagehilfsmittel 36 befestigt. Die Befestigung der Taste 15 erfolgt wie oben erläutert. Das Montagehilfsmittel 36 kann schliesslich für eine weitere Montage verwendet oder entsorgt werden.
