Definitions
- the invention relates to a sanitary appliance comprising a device for manual operation to activate a mixer cartridge.
- both maneuvering braces have one degree of freedom each.
- the rotation of the first adjusts the mixing ratio of the water while the rotation of the second adjusts the total flow.
- Two-handle mixers also present, in a different way, the disadvantage of being salient of the sanitary apparatus. Indeed, to be easily usable, the two maneuvering braces do not sit flush with the sanitary appliance but are far from it. The water pipes are therefore generally less insulated, and in particular the hot water pipe, this can cause burns. In addition, the discontinuities of the sanitary appliance and the two-handle mixer are so many complications for cleaning.
- single-lever mixers as well as mixers dual controls being salient, they can represent a danger for the user, likely to slip accidentally in your shower or bathtub.
- the object of the invention is to solve these various problems by proposing a sanitary appliance, comprising a manual operating device to activate a mixer cartridge, forming in all positions single-unit visual adjustment to improve usage and cleaning this set.
- brass alloy parts can be removed or replaced with parts in another material which allows, in addition to the reduction in their cost, solve without constraint the problem of water pipes made of material containing lead harmful to health.
- the amplitudes of the movements of the operating member can guarantee a large adjustment interval and in particular allow fine-tune the mixing ratio of the water.
- sanitary appliance a sink, a washbasin, a countertop, a sink, a sink, a bidet, a bathtub, adaptation of wall panel, adaptation of partition or element reported from each of these aforementioned fixtures.
- the sanitary appliance represented in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 is a basin comprising a wall (1), a mixer cartridge (8) and a handle operation (5).
- the mixer cartridge (8) is connected on the one hand to both hot and cold water supply lines (26) and (27) and on the other hand water mixture outlet diffuser (29) via the pipe water mixture outlet hose (28).
- This mixer cartridge (8) is disposed on the side of the internal face (2) of the wall (1). It has, to settle separately the water mixing ratio and the total flow, the control lever (9) capable of being moved according to two degrees of freedom defined by the axes of control rotation (a1) and (a2).
- the operating handle (5) is located on the side of the face outer (3) of the wall (1). It is connected to the control lever (9) by the member connecting (50) which passes through the light (4) of the wall (1).
- the displacements of the operating handle (5) define the envelope (6), including the envelope part (7) is highlighted in Figures 1, 2 by dotted lines and in Figures 3, 4 by strong features.
- the operating handle (5) is slidably mounted on the wall (1) via the jaw (10) which takes in all the positions of adjustment, together with the operating handle (5) which is opposite, the wall (1) in a vice, the part of the wall (1) capable of being taken in a vice lying around of light (4) and being spherical and of constant thickness.
- the envelope part (7) and the part of the external face (3) of the wall (1) which is in opposite, having a significant area despite the light (4) are spherical and adjacent at all points, the assembly having an external shape advantageously homogeneous and closed, in all the adjustment positions of the operating handle (5).
- This embodiment of the invention has the effect of keeping in position the operating handle (5).
- the operating handle (5) and the jaw (10) take the wall (1) in a vice in all the adjustment positions, by means of the external lining (12) disposed between the external face (3) and the operating handle (5) and the internal lining (11) disposed between the face internal (2) and the jaw (10).
- This vice is held by the nut (14) and the lock nut (15).
- the resistance to movement of the operating handle (5) depends coefficients of friction and elasticity of the internal and external linings (11) and (12) and the thickness of the washer (13).
- the position of zero total flow being the low position of the operating handle (5), maintaining the position of total zero flow of this operating handle (5) is increased by its own weight.
- the hubcap (16) can, in addition to its aesthetic function, constitute a non-slip for the operating handle (5).
- the connecting member (50) comprises the jaw (10), the nut (14), the lock nut (15), the washer (13), the internal and external linings (11) and (12), the articulation (20) and its articulation axes (21) and (22), the sliding arm (19), the arm (17) and the screw (18), the sliding arm (19) being able to slide in the arm (17) which is fixed to the control lever (9) by the screw (18) and connect the handle operation (5) via the articulation (20) in all positions of adjustment of the operating handle (5).
- the rectangular sections of the rod (34) of the jaw (10), of the lever control (9), arm (17) and sliding arm (19), as well as the joint (20) serve as a key and prevent any rotation of the handle. maneuver (5) on itself.
- the operating handle (5) remains in all adjustment positions circumscribed to its operating axis of rotation (A1), which allows the envelope part (7) and the part of the wall (1) which is opposite to be stretched around the operating rotation axis (A1), which is suitable perfectly with the design of the basin.
- the decisive reason why the envelope part (7) is stretched around the operating rotation axis (A1) is that the ratio of the angle maximum operating rotation (B1) of the operating handle (5) relative to the operating rotation axis (A1), which corresponds to the adjustment of the water mixing ratio, on the maximum operating angle of rotation (B2) of the operating handle (5) relative to the operating axis of rotation (A2), which corresponds to the total flow setting, is greater than 1, this ratio (B1) / (B2) greater than 1 being consistent with the need for precision adjustment of the water mixing ratio greater than that of total flow.
- the total flow and the water mixing ratio are therefore set separately according to the two degrees of freedom of the operating handle (5), by an upward movement and lowering and by rotation of this operating handle (5) about the axis of vertical operating rotation (A1), which has the advantage of not disturbing the reflexes conditioned by the current uses of mixers single controls.
- maximum control rotation angles (b1) and (b2) and of operation (B1) and (B2) being respectively 90 °, 25 °, 20 ° and 5 °
- the ratios (b1) / (b2) and (B1) / (B2) are approximately identical.
- the 90 ° and 25 ° values of the maximum rotation angles of command (b1) and (b2) represent current values.
- the rotation of the control (9) around the control rotation axis (a1), in the range of 90 °, causes the cartridge control disc to rotate mixer (8) around this same control rotation axis (a1), while the rotation of the control lever (9) around the control rotation axis (a2), in the 25 ° range, causes the radial movement of this control disc.
- Such cartridges of single-lever mixers are known and common in trade, so that they have not been shown in detail in the drawings. Of this fact, the means to be implemented for the realization of the present invention are all the more simple.
- the fixing and centering elements of the mixer cartridge (8) were not represented either.
- the mixer cartridge (8) is fixed on its cartridge holder (23) through the seal (24), the cartridge holder (23) being itself fixed to the wall (1) by means of the two bolts (25) which are housed in the upright (35) which extends the overflow channel (51).
- the outlet diffuser of the mixture of water (29) passes through the wall (1) through the window (36) provided for this purpose, and allows the mixture of water to flow in cascade along the external face (3) of the wall (1).
- the water can flow in another form than in cascade, for example in jet.
- the water mixture outlet diffuser (29) is fixed to the spout (30) via seals (31), (32) and two studs not shown axes (33).
- the spout (30) can be made of brass alloy without any risk relating to water pipes made of material containing lead harmful to health.
- the angle of maximum maneuver rotation (B1) of 20 ° generates a maximum stroke of adjustment of the water mixing ratio by means of the operating handle (5) about 16 centimeters. However, this stroke is relative to the total zero flow.
- the minimum operating angle of rotation (B1 ') relative to the maximum total flow equal to 16 °, the minimum stroke for adjusting the water mixing ratio to means of the operating handle (5) is approximately 13 centimeters.
- the stroke for adjusting the mixing ratio of the waters of the operating handle (5) is therefore substantially identical to that which would be described by the end of an operating lever mounted on this same cartridge mixing valve (8), and this, particularly in the area of average flows, that is to say in the area of the most used flows.
- the operating handle (5) is held in position under the action of the spring (37). Indeed, this spring (37) exerts in all the adjustment positions of the handle operating (5), via the hubcap (16) which is screwed onto the rod (34) of the jaw (10), a force for tightening the wall (1) by the vice made up of the jaw (10) and the operating handle (5), the part of the wall (1) capable of being taken in a vice situated around the light (4) and being spherical and of constant thickness.
- This clamping force can advantageously be disengageable by allowing the hubcap (16) to slide in the operating handle (5).
- the user by manipulating the operating handle (5), presses automatically the hubcap (16) and cancels or reduces the clamping force, the jaw (10) and the operating handle (5) then only flush with the wall (1), the adjustment therefore being facilitated.
- the clamping force being thus disengageable during adjustment operations, it can be increased by increasing the stiffness of the spring (37), thus reducing the risk of adjustment due to the dead weight of the operating handle (5) or untimely adjustment.
- the stroke and therefore the adjustment precision of the water mixing ratio is maximum for the total zero flow, because the distance from the envelope part (7) at the control rotation axis (a1) is maximum at the level of the total zero flow, that is to say at the low position of the operating handle (5).
- the precision of adjustment of the water mixing ratio can advantageously be maximum for average flows, by tilting the mixer cartridge (8) so as to have a distance from the casing part (7) to the control rotation axis (a1) maximum at the level of these average flow rates.
- the operating rotation axis (A1) of the operating handle (5) corresponding to the adjustment of the water mixing ratio, is no longer vertical but inclined parallel to the control rotation axis (a1). So there is a slight divergence from the present uses of single-lever mixers.
- FIG. 5 The embodiment of the invention presented in FIG. 5 is not not only characterized by the inclination of the mixer cartridge (8).
- the Figure 5 and, more specifically, Figure 6, in fact present a mode particularly advantageous execution of the invention, by the simplicity of the connecting member (50), the elements not detailed being kept examples of realization of the preceding invention.
- the envelope part (7), highlighted in FIG. 6 by dotted lines, and the part of the external face (3) which is opposite, having a significant area, are adjacent at all points by the simple fact to be spherical and centered on the point of intersection of the axes of rotation of control (a1) and (a2) of the mixer cartridge (8), the operating handle (5) being secured to the control lever (9) by the connecting member (50) which summarizes the arm (17) and its fixing elements not shown.
- the operating handle (5) can be maintained in position via a jaw (10) and / or by a spring (37).
- the means to be implemented for this embodiment of the invention are therefore particularly simple.
- the maximum control rotation angles (b1)) and (b2) of the lever control (9) are 40 ° and 10 °, which means the manufacture of cartridges single-lever mixers specifically for this type of implementation.
- the angle of rotation maximum maneuver (B1) of 40 ° generates a maximum stroke for adjusting the water mixing ratio of about 20 centimeters. It is therefore possible to adjust the mixing ratio of the waters with great sensitivity.
- the sanitary appliance shown in Figures 9, 10 is an adaptation a section of a bathroom wall, comprising a wall (1), a cartridge of mixing valve (8) and two operating sliders (5) and (5 ').
- the mixer cartridge (8) is connected on the one hand to two pipes hot and cold water supply (26) and (27) and on the other hand to a outlet of the water mixture (29) via a flexible outlet of the water mixture (28), these pipes, not shown, being able to come from lower or upper parts of the cartridge holder (23) or of its center, if the thickness of the bathroom wall panel allows it.
- This cartridge of mixing valve (8) is arranged on the side of the internal face (2) of the wall (1). She owns, to adjust the water mixing ratio and the total flow separately, two heads control (9) and (9 '), capable of being moved according to a degree of freedom each, that is to say capable of pivoting around their axes of rotation of respective commands (a1)) and (a1 ').
- the operating sliders (5) and (5 ') are located on the side of the external face (3) of the wall (1).
- the operating cursor (5) crossing the light (4) of the wall (1) by its rod (48), is connected to the control head (9) by the connection member (50), the connection of the operating cursor (5 ') to the head of control (9 ') being identical and separate.
- the cursor movements of maneuver (5) define the envelope (6), the envelope part (7) of which is put highlighted in Figure 9 by dotted lines and in Figure 10 by strong lines.
- the operating cursor (5) is mounted at sliding on the wall (1) via the jaw (10) which takes in all adjustment positions, together with the operating slider (5) which is opposite, the wall (1) in a vice, the part of the wall (1) capable of being taken vice located around the light (4) and being flat and of constant thickness.
- the envelope part (7) and the part of the external face (3) of the wall (1) which is opposite, having a significant area despite the light (4), are planes and adjacent at all points.
- the operating cursor (5) and the jaw (10) take the wall (1) in a vice in all the adjustment positions, by through the external lining (12) arranged between the external face (3) and the operating slider (5) and the internal lining (11) disposed between the face internal (2) and the jaw (10). This vice is held by the nut (14) and the lock nut (15). And in the same way as for the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 4, according to an alternative embodiment of the invention not shown, the operating cursor (5) can be kept in position under the action of a spring (37). Furthermore, the position of zero total flow being the position low of the operating slider (5 '), maintaining the zero total flow position of this operating slider (5 ') is increased by its own weight.
- the connecting member (50) comprises the jaw (10), the nut (14), the lock nut (15), the internal and external linings (11) and (12), the rack (45). the screws (47), which secure the rack (45) to the jaw (10) and thereby operating slider (5), and the toothed wheel (46), which is secured to the head of control (9).
- the section rectangular of the rod (48) of the operating cursor (5) serves as polarization and prevents any rotation of the operating cursor (5) on itself.
- this exemplary embodiment of the invention is advantageously simple and easily removable. Indeed, the adaptation of the pan of bathroom wall is recessed in the cartridge holder (23) which is itself integrated in the bathroom wall panel.
- the means to implement for the realization of the present invention are all the more simple that the mixer cartridge (8) is known and common in the trade, so that it and its fixing and centering elements have not been shown in detail on the drawing.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments which come to be described by way of example, but on the contrary includes any variant including, with equivalent means, the essential characteristics set out above.
- a sanitary appliance has been described in one piece, comprising a manual operating device for actuating a cartridge of mixing valve, it is also possible to make a two-part sanitary appliance one of the parts being the added element.
- the reported item would also have the qualification of a sanitary appliance in the case of the present invention, include the manual operating device to activate a cartridge mixer according to the invention, and would be adaptable to its complementary part on a space provided for this purpose.
