Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mixer tap for water tapping points with a Fitting body (2), which has an outlet (3), a mixing lever (4) and a Cartridge housing (5) with a housing base (15) and a seat nipple (12) has and is releasably clamped with a washstand or other base part and with connecting lines (6,7) for cold and warm water, which serve as plug-in pipes (18) and from above through the cartridge housing interior (10) in the cartridge housing (5) can be inserted, the plug-in tubes (18) on their end piece (19) on the housing equipped with a fixing part (20) and by means of this can be clamped between the housing base (15) and seat nipple (12) and the seat nipple (12) having a blind bore (22) for receiving the end piece (19) and a sealing ring (21).
  • This known mixer tap has the features of the preamble of claim 1. With this tap the tubes can also be inserted into the bottom of the housing and be fixed via a screw part. Safe sealing is also, however here only ensured if the plug-in tubes are arranged axially to the seat nipple are, since the sealing ring used seals on the outer circumference of the plug-in tubes. An off-axis arrangement of the plug-in tubes with respect to the seat nipple is one such a construction is not possible.
  • the invention is based on the object, the connection assembly of To simplify mixing fittings, especially with regard to the connection of the Plug-in tubes.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that the end piece of Plug-in tubes is hemispherical and one in the center of the hemisphere Has outlet for the water, so that when installing the sealing ring (21) automatically seals on the end piece (19).
  • the push-in pipes can be easily made in advance be inserted into the corresponding mounting hole in the floor, whereupon then the seat nipple and the cartridge into the interior of the cartridge housing be inserted.
  • the sealing ring In the blind hole is the sealing ring, which is then automatically attaches to the hemispherical end piece of the push-in tubes and ensure a complete seal.
  • the fitter does not need to exercise special care because the insert and seal the individual parts virtually automatically, with the stable housing base, which is an integral part of the cartridge housing, can be used advantageously because it has a corresponding abutment the assembly forms.
  • the end piece of the plug-in tubes points to the top Hemispherical surface on the outlet for the water, so that the continuation of the Water is ensured, regardless of whether this exit surface is free or but only in part. This ensures that the connection is fully effective.
  • the individual tubes do not nipple axially to the seat or other component must be inserted, but also arbitrarily at an angle, whereby a seal is always guaranteed.
  • the pipes can be slanted or inclined fittings can be used, from which the plug-in tubes then look out almost vertically, so that the further course of the connecting lines is easily secured.
  • the End piece of the plug-in tubes is spherical.
  • a spherical version can be in generally with the brass or copper pipes used here easier to manufacture, the spherical design also guarantees that the Sealing ring is always between the surface of the crowned end piece and the deepest of the blind hole.
  • the sealing ring of the blind hole adapted and positioned in the borehole. So that the Sealing ring placed in the blind hole in advance and then the seat nipple in the Cartridge housing interior are introduced. He then sits down automatically with its blind hole on the end of the plug-in tube and seals here effective from.
  • the hemisphere in the as a collar trained fixing part is formed continuously. It is advantageous that with the Production of the hemisphere or the spherical surface of the end piece also Collar is trained, for which a separate operation is not is required. This will make production easier and at the same time how desired a particularly stable design of the upper end or End piece of the plug-in tubes ensured.
  • An anti-rotation device for the individual plug-in tubes is expediently achieved in that the plug-in tubes are equipped with a securing web, which is formed in the extension of the collar on the outer wall.
  • the plug-in tubes used can be easily processed and fulfilled also the necessary conditions with regard to the service life if they are made of brass existing dome tubes are formed. You can then simply be with the Connect further connecting lines.
  • connection of additional lines is made easier because the plug-in tubes in the given distance to the respective cartridge housing Fixing part have a stop for extension tubes.
  • This Extension tubes are pushed onto the lower, extended push-in tube and then soldered or otherwise connected so that such a connection is easy and can be manufactured quickly.
  • connection lines in the cartridge housing at an angle or the training the whole body accordingly, so that it is purely optically favorable To achieve forms of a fitting.
  • This is advantageously achieved if the Seat nipple trained blind hole and the through hole as well as the Receiving hole in the bottom of the housing is correspondingly inclined are formed so that the plug-in tubes are inserted, fixed and can be sealed.
  • Arrange through hole, blind hole and location hole vertically if this happens, for example, within a correspondingly inclined position Fitting body proves to be useful. It is advantageous that always the necessary seal between the plug-in tube and the quasi loose one Seat nipple is accessible.
  • the plug-in tubes are ultimately held in the interior of the cartridge housing or stipulated that the cartridge together with the seat nipple over a in the cartridge housing screwable clamping screw in the Cartridge housing interior is clamped against the housing base.
  • a stable housing base is present, the part of the cartridge housing, so that the one applied by the clamping screw Force can be relatively low, but still the necessary fixation of the Plug-in pipes on the one hand and to ensure their sealing. This is done exact positioning of the plug-in pipes etc. also through the safety bar and Puncture formed in the receiving bore.
  • the Clamping screw with a cover cap on the inside Has locking projections corresponding locking grooves. So that Clamping screw by light pressure on the seat nipple and the cartridge be postponed and also fixed at the same time. Another screw or no other work is required, which is the case in particular when the clamping screw is slightly screwed into the cartridge housing. For this purpose, it has a thread that mates with the internal thread in the Cartridge housing interior corresponds.
  • the invention is particularly characterized in that a mixer tap is created, which ensures a relatively easy handling and also for the Inexperienced specifies an always safe and tight fit of the plug-in tubes. So that is an assembly of such mixers much easier, but at the same time given the opportunity to insert the tubes at an angle like him is appropriate for the respective application.
  • the plug-in tubes can ultimately ch be set vertically or at practically any angle, whereby it is of course appropriate, the holes in the housing base accordingly trainee to the seat of the respective tube in the specified position ensure.
  • the individual parts are simply inserted into the valve from above inserted, the plug-in tubes a cheap connection for have further connecting lines, so that the total Connection assembly can run expediently and quickly.
  • Fig. 1 shows a mixer tap 1, which is a single-lever mixer tap acts.
  • the valve body 2 has a widely protruding Spout and the already mentioned mixing lever 4, here in the execution of a One-hand lever.
  • the cartridge housing 5 is a stable body which, like the other figures show also has an "inner life”.
  • the pool outlet 8 can also be seen, of the actuator 9 from above, i.e. from the mixer tap 1 can be operated.
  • Fig. 2 shows the valve body 2 in section, with the cartridge housing interior 10 becomes recognizable.
  • this cartridge housing interior 10 is the Cartridge 11 and the seat nipple 12 arranged via a clamping screw 13 with cover cap 14 are clamped against the housing base 15.
  • the clamping screw 13 via a thread 16 so that they are on cartridge 11 and Seat nipple 12 exerting pressure in the interior of the cartridge housing 10 can be screwed in.
  • only a relatively low pressure is required in order to once to ensure the fit of cartridge 11 and nipple 12 and around on the other hand to secure the connecting lines 6, 7 and the plug-in tubes 18.
  • the plug-in tubes 18 with their specially designed and a fixing part 20 End piece 19 are unstable and with the cartridge housing 5 one Unit-forming housing base 15 from above, i.e. from Cartridge housing interior 10 introduced.
  • the fixing part 20 serves but not here to support a sealing ring 21, but as below executed, quasi as a stop, corresponding to that in the housing base 15 trained receiving bore 32.
  • the seat nipple 12 also has an area in which the end piece 19 of the Plug pipe 18 extends into it.
  • Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 illustrate that the Through hole 23 in the seat nipple 12 on the housing bottom 15 facing side has a blind bore 22. This blind bore takes in the deepest hole 27 on the sealing ring 21 shown in FIG. 2 and provides that an effective seal is created here.
  • the particular shape of the end piece 19 of the plug-in tube 18 shows in particular Fig. 4, it being clear that this end piece 19 has the shape of a hemisphere.
  • the sealing ring 21 lies on top of the hemispherical surface 25 while the hemisphere then merges into the fixing part 20.
  • On top of the Hemispherical surface 25 is approximately in the middle of the outlet 26 for the water what in particular also clarifies Fig. 2.
  • the so-called fixing part 20 is designed here as a collar 28, which is virtually one End region of the hemispherical surface 25 represents. Is attached to this collar 28 a securing web 29, which also shows Fig. 5, of a certain amount the outer wall 30 leads vertically downwards.
