Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeck-Rosette für den Anschlußbereich einer sanitären Wandarmatur mit

  • a) einer an die Montagewand anlegbaren Zierhaube, welche eine mittlere Durchgangsöffnung aufweist;
  • b) einer gegenüber der Zierhaube in axialer Richtung verstellbaren Hülse, welche die Durchgangsöffnung der Zierhaube durchsetzt;
    wobei
  • c) die Innenräume von Zierhaube und Hülse zur Aufnahme eines S-Anschlußstückes, welches der Verbindung zwischen einer in der Montagewand verlegten Wasser-Hausleitung und der Wandarmatur dient, sowie zur Aufnahme einer Überwurfmutter, welche der Befestigung der Wandarmatur an dem S-Anschlußstück dient, ausgebildet sind.
    • The invention relates to a cover rosette for the connection area of a sanitary wall fitting
  • a) a decorative hood that can be placed on the mounting wall and has a central through opening;
  • b) a sleeve which is adjustable in the axial direction relative to the decorative hood and which penetrates the through opening of the decorative hood;
    in which
  • c) the interior of the decorative hood and sleeve for receiving an S-connector, which is used for the connection between a house water pipe installed in the mounting wall and the wall fitting, and for receiving a union nut, which is used to attach the wall fitting to the S-connector, are trained.

    • Bei sanitären Wandarmaturen werden bekanntlich die Anschlußstellen zur Wasser-Hausleitung, die üblicherweise ein den Anschlußstutzen der Wandarmatur mit dem Hausleitungssystem verbindendes S-Anschlußstück umfassen, optisch von einer Abdeck-Rosette verkleidet. Diese Abdeck-Rosette muß einerseits so bewegbar sein, daß in einer Position ein Zugang insbesondere zu der Überwurfmutter möglich ist, welche an der Wandarmatur angebracht ist und der Befestigung an dem S-Anschlußstück dient; andererseits muß sie in ihrer endgültigen Stellung alle Funktionsteile den Blicken des Betrachters entziehen, wobei Unterschiede der Einbaupositionen des S-Anschlußstückes und der Wandarmatur kompensierbar sein müssen.As is well known, the connection points for sanitary wall fittings to the water house pipe, which is usually a the connecting piece of the wall fitting with the house pipe system include connecting S-connector, optically covered by a cover rose. This cover rosette On the one hand, it must be movable so that it is in one position access to the union nut is possible, which is attached to the wall fitting and the attachment serves on the S-connector; on the other hand, it must in their final position all functional parts Eliminate gaze of viewer, taking differences of Installation positions of the S-connector and the wall fitting must be compensable.

    In der EP 0 499 886 B1 sowie der DE 38 06 492 A1 sind jeweils Abdeck-Rosetten beschrieben, bei denen im Bereich der Durchgangsöffnung der Zierhaube ein Formdichtring angeordnet ist, welcher auf ein armaturenseitiges Gewinde aufgedreht wird. Aus geometrischen Gründen kann die Höhe derartiger Zierhauben nicht beliebig sein; unter ungünstigen Einbaubedingungen läßt sich daher nicht immer vermeiden, daß ein Teil des S-Anschlußstückes oder des armaturenseitigen Gewindes sichtbar bleibt.In EP 0 499 886 B1 and DE 38 06 492 A1 each described cover rosettes, in the area a molded sealing ring in the through opening of the decorative hood is arranged, which on a fitting-side thread is turned up. For geometric reasons, the Height of such hoods may not be arbitrary; under unfavorable installation conditions can therefore not always be avoid that part of the S-connector or the armature thread remains visible.

    Dieses Problem tritt bei Abdeck-Rosetten der eingangs genannten Art weniger auf, wie sie beispielsweise in der EP 0 537 652 B1 beschrieben sind. Hier wird die Möglichkeit, unterschiedliche Einbauabstände der Sanitärarmatur von der Wand zu kompensieren, dadurch vergrößert, daß nicht nur eine Zierhaube zum Verdecken der Funktionsteile im Anschlußbereich der Wandarmatur verwendet wird, sondern zusätzlich eine zu dieser Zierhaube konzentrische Hülse, deren Axialposition gegenüber der Zierhaube veränderbar ist. Beim Gegenstand der EP 0 537 652 B1 ist die Zierhaube ein einstückiges, glockenförmiges Teil, welches auf einem Außengewinde der Hülse zur Veränderung der axialen Position verschraubbar ist. Die aus Zierhaube und Hülse bestehende Abdeck-Rosette wird dadurch im Anschlußbereich der Wandarmatur fixiert, daß durch Verschrauben der Zierhaube auf der Hülse eine gesamte axiale Länge der Einheit eingestellt wird, bei welcher der freie Rand der Zierhaube an der Montagewand und der freie Rand der Hülse an der Sanitärarmatur anliegt. This problem occurs with cover rosettes at the beginning mentioned type less, as for example in EP 0 537 652 B1. Here is the Possibility of different installation distances of the sanitary fitting to compensate from the wall, enlarged, that not only a decorative hood to cover the functional parts is used in the connection area of the wall fitting, but also a concentric one to this decorative hood Sleeve, the axial position of which can be changed relative to the decorative hood is. The subject of EP 0 537 652 B1 the decorative hood is a one-piece, bell-shaped part, which on an external thread of the sleeve for change the axial position can be screwed. The decorative hood and sleeve existing cover rosette is thereby in Connection area of the wall fitting is fixed by screwing the decorative hood on the sleeve an entire axial Length of the unit is set at which the free edge of the decorative hood on the mounting wall and the free edge of the sleeve lies against the sanitary fitting.

    Wo auf diese Weise eine Verklemmung der gesamten Abdeck-Rosette zwischen Wandarmatur und Montagewand nicht oder nicht zuverlässig möglich ist, kann die bekannte Abdeck-Rosette nicht zuverlässig spielfrei in ihrer Lage fixiert werden.Where in this way the entire cover rosette is jammed between wall fitting and mounting wall not or is not reliably possible, the well-known cover rosette not reliably fixed in position without play become.

    Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Abdeck-Rosette der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß sie leicht montierbar ist, wobei die Position aller Einzelteile auch unter ungünstigen Montagebedingungen stets definiert ist.The object of the present invention is a cover rosette of the type mentioned at the beginning, that it is easy to assemble, with the position of all Individual parts even under unfavorable assembly conditions is always defined.

    Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst,

  • d) die Zierhaube aus zwei lösbar zusammengefügten Teilen besteht;
  • e) die Hülse ein Innengewinde aufweist, welches zu dem Außengewinde am armaturenseitigen Ende des S-Anschlußstückes komplementär ist.
    • According to the invention, this object is achieved by
  • d) the decorative hood consists of two detachably joined parts;
  • e) the sleeve has an internal thread which is complementary to the external thread on the fitting-side end of the S-connector.

    • Erfindungsgemäß wird also die Hülse in der Montagestellung der Wandarmatur an dem S-Anschlußstück fixiert. Sie kann auf diesem S-Anschlußstück mit Hilfe der zusammenwirkenden Gewinde so weit von der Wandarmatur weggedreht werden, daß die Überwurfmutter der Wandarmatur zugänglich wird. Umgekehrt kann sie auf dem Außengewinde des S-Anschlußstückes so in Richtung auf die Wandarmatur verschraubt werden, daß sie nicht nur das armaturenseitige Ende des S-Anschlußstückes sondern auch die Überwurfmutter vollständig den Blicken des Betrachters entzieht. Da die Verschraubung der Hülse auf dem armaturenseitigen Außengewinde des S-Anschlußstückes bei dieser "Anschlußphilosophie" bei abgenommener Zierhaube erfolgen muß, kann die Zierhaube nicht - wie sonst üblich und auch in der EP 0 499 856 B1 beschrieben - einstückig ausgebildet sein. Dadurch, daß sie erfindungsgemäß aus zwei lösbar zusammengefügten Teilen besteht, kann sie nach vollständigem Abschluß der Montagearbeiten von der Seite her um das S-Anschlußstück und die Hülse herum gelegt und zusammengefügt werden. Diese Montage ist außerordentlich einfach. Jedes Teil hat seinen zuverlässigen Halt, da die Fixierung der Hülse am S-Anschlußstück und die Fixierung der Zierhaube an der Hülse erfolgt.According to the invention, the sleeve is in the assembly position the wall fitting is fixed to the S-connector. she can interact on this S-connector with the help of Thread turned so far away from the wall fitting be that the union nut of the wall fitting accessible becomes. Conversely, it can be on the external thread of the S-connector screwed in the direction of the wall fitting that they are not only the valve side End of the S-connector but also the union nut completely hidden from viewers. Since the The sleeve is screwed onto the valve-side external thread of the S-connector in this "connection philosophy" must take place with the decorative hood removed the decorative hood not - as usual and also in the EP 0 499 856 B1 - formed in one piece his. In that, according to the invention, they can be released from two assembled parts, it can after complete Completion of the assembly work from the side put the S-connector and the sleeve around and put them together become. This assembly is extremely simple. Each part has its reliable hold because of the fixation the sleeve on the S-connector and the fixation of the decorative hood done on the sleeve.

    Vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Zierhaube auf einem Außengewinde der Hülse verschraubbar ist. Dann kann das Aufsetzen der Zierhaube auf die Hülse in Abstand von der Montagewand erfolgen; ein zunächst noch vorhandener Spalt zwischen Zierhaube und Montagewand wird durch entsprechendes Verschrauben der Zierhaube auf der Hülse geschlossen.It is advantageous if the decorative hood is on an external thread the sleeve can be screwed. Then the touchdown the decorative hood on the sleeve at a distance from the Assembly wall done; a gap still present at first between the decorative hood and the mounting wall is replaced by a corresponding Screwing the decorative hood on the sleeve closed.

    Besonders zweckmäßig und preisgünstig ist dabei diejenige Ausgestaltung, bei welcher die Zierhaube mindestens ein Einsatzteil aus Moosgummi aufweist, welches mit dem Außengewinde der Hülse zusammenwirkt. Dieses Moosgummiteil dient dann sowohl als Dichtung als auch als selbstschneidendes Gewinde, welches das Gegenstück zum Außengewinde auf der Hülse darstellt.That is particularly expedient and inexpensive Design in which the decorative hood at least has an insert made of foam rubber, which with cooperates with the external thread of the sleeve. This sponge rubber part then serves both as a seal and as self-tapping thread, which is the counterpart to Represents external thread on the sleeve.

    Die beiden Teile der Zierhaube sollten optisch möglichst unauffällig aneinandergefügt werden können. Hierzu empfiehlt es sich, wenn jedes Teil der Zierhaube einen Führungsvorsprung und eine hierzu komplementäre Führungsbohrung aufweist. Führungsbohrung und Führungsvorsprung sind so angeordnet und ausgelegt, daß die beiden Teile fluchtend aneinander anliegen, wenn ihre Führungsvorsprünge in die entsprechenden Führungsbohrungen des jeweils anderen Teiles eingeführt sind. The two parts of the hood should look as possible can be unobtrusively joined together. Recommends this it happens when every part of the decorative hood is one Guide projection and a complementary guide hole having. Guide hole and guide tab are arranged and designed so that the two parts in alignment with each other when their lead tabs in the corresponding guide holes of the other part are introduced.

    Ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der beiden Teile der Zierhaube wird bei derjenigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vermieden, bei welcher jedes Teil der Zierhaube eine hervorstehende Rastlasche und einen zum Zusammenwirken mit einer derartigen Rastlasche ausgebildeten Rücksprung aufweist.Unintentional loosening of the two parts of the hood is avoided in the embodiment of the invention in which each part of the decorative hood protrudes Snap tab and one to interact with such a locking tab formed recess having.

    Besonders kostengünstig ist diejenige Ausgestaltung, bei welcher beide Teile der Zierhaube als identische Hälften ausgebildet sind.The configuration that is particularly cost-effective is in which both parts of the hood are identical Halves are formed.

    In dem Armaturengehäuse 1 der Wandarmatur ist in an und für sich bekannter Weise ein Anschlußnippel 2 eingeschraubt, der eine Überwurfmutter 3 haltert. Die Überwurfmutter 3 ist auf ein Außengewinde 5 am einen Ende eines S-Anschlußstückes 4 aufgeschraubt. Dieses weist am anderen Ende ein zweites Außengewinde 6 auf, welches dem Anschluß an der nicht dargestellten Wasser-Hausleitung dient. Die genaue Bauweise des S-Anschlußstückes 4 spielt im vorliegenden Zusammenhang keine Rolle. Funktion des S-Anschlußstückes 4 und verschiedene Bauweisen hierfür sind dem Fachmanne bekannt.In the valve body 1 of the wall valve is in on and screwed a connecting nipple 2 in a manner known per se, who holds a union nut 3. The cap nut 3 is on an external thread 5 at one end an S-connector 4 screwed on. This points at the other end a second external thread 6, which the connection to the water house line, not shown serves. The exact construction of the S-connector 4 plays no role in the present context. function the S-connector 4 and various designs for this are known to the person skilled in the art.

    Die insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 7 versehene Abdeck-Rosette umfaßt zwei Hauptkomponenten: eine aus zwei identischen Hälften 8a, 8b zusammengesetzte Zierhaube 8 sowie eine zu dieser koaxiale Hülse 9.The cover rosette provided overall with the reference number 7 comprises two main components: one out of two identical halves 8a, 8b composite decorative hood 8 and a sleeve 9 coaxial with this.

    Die genaue Bauweise der Zierhaube 8 ist den Figuren 2 bis 4 zu entnehmen.The exact construction of the decorative hood 8 is the figures 2 to 4.

    Wie insbesondere in Figur 4 zu erkennen ist, besteht die Zierhaube 8 aus zwei identischen Hälften 8a, 8b, die durch eine Rastverbindung lösbar aneinander befestigt sind. Die Form der Abdeckhaube 8 ist etwas glockenförmig mit einer mittleren Durchgangsöffnung 10, durch welche sich in noch zu beschreibender Weise die Hülse 9 hindurcherstreckt.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 4, there is the decorative hood 8 from two identical halves 8a, 8b, the releasably attached to each other by a snap connection are. The shape of the cover 8 is somewhat bell-shaped with a central through opening 10, through which the sleeve 9 extends in a manner to be described.

    Eine Hälfte 8a der Zierhaube 8 ist in den Figuren 2 und 3 näher dargestellt. In der Unteransicht von Figur 2 stellt sich die Zierhaubenhälfte 8a als halber Kreisring dar, der an seinen in Figur 2 nach oben weisenden Stirnflächen radial verlaufende Wandbereiche 11, 12 aufweist. An den in den Figuren 2 und 3 rechten Wandbereich 12 ist ein zylindrischer Führungsvorsprung 13 angeformt, während in den in Figur 3 linken Wandbereich 11 eine entsprechende Führungsbohrung 14 eingebracht ist.One half 8a of the decorative hood 8 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 shown in more detail. In the bottom view of figure 2, the decorative hood half 8a is a half circular ring represents that on its upward pointing in Figure 2 Radial wall regions 11, 12 end faces having. On the right wall area in Figures 2 and 3 12 is a cylindrical guide projection 13 molded, while in the left wall area in Figure 3 11 a corresponding guide bore 14 is introduced.

    In einem in Figur 3 unterhalb der Führungsbohrung 14 liegenden Bereich, der also in der Montagestellung der Zierhaube 8 näher an der Montagewand liegt, ist an die Zierhaubenhälfte 8a eine Rastlasche 15 angeformt, die sich über die Stirnfläche 11 hinauserstreckt. Dies ist insbesondere der Figur 2 zu entnehmen. Komplementär hierzu ist an dem gegenüberliegenden Ende der Zierhaubenhälfte 8a, unterhalb des Wandbereiches 12 und des hieran angeformten Führungsvorsprunges 13, ein Rastrücken 20 (vergleiche Figur 2) ausgebildet.In one in FIG. 3 below the guide bore 14 lying area, so in the assembly position of the Decorative hood 8 is closer to the mounting wall, is to the Decorative hood half 8a formed a locking tab 15, the extends beyond the end face 11.
