Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Drehrosette zur Betätigung eines Ablaufventils einer Ab- und Überlaufgarnitur einer Badewanne, mit einem beweglich gelagerten Griff, der aus einer Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung in eine gegenüber der Vorderfläche und/oder dem Umfang der Drehrosette vorstehende Gebrauchsstellung bewegbar ist. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Ab- und Überlaufgarnitur, insbesondere für Badewannen, mit einem Ablaufventil, einer Überlaufleitung und einer eine Überlauföffnung der Überlaufleitung abdeckenden Drehrosette gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 8.The invention relates to a rotary escutcheon for actuating a drain valve of a waste and overflow set of a bathtub, with a movably mounted handle which is movable from a non-use position in a relation to the front surface and / or the circumference of the rotary rosette projecting position of use. Furthermore, the invention relates to a waste and overflow set, especially for baths, with a drain valve, an overflow pipe and a overflow opening of the overflow pipe covering rotary rosette according to the preamble of claim 8.

Badewannen sind üblicherweise mit einer Ab- und Überlaufgarnitur ausgestattet. Es sind Ab- und Überlaufgarnituren bekannt, bei denen das im Ablaufloch der Badewanne montierte Ablaufventil mittels eines an der Überlauföffnung der Badewanne montierten Drehgriffs betätigbar ist. Der Drehgriff, der auch als Drehrosette bezeichnet wird und der optischen Abdeckung der Überlauföffnung der Badewanne dient, ist über ein Getriebe, das üblicherweise einen Bowdenzug aufweist, mit dem Ventilstopfen des Ablaufventils gekoppelt. Herkömmliche Drehgriffe dieser Art stehen relativ weit in die Badewanne vor, damit sie gut bedienbar sind und einen ausreichenden Überlauf von in der Badewanne ansteigendem Wasser in die Überlauföffnung gewährleisten. Wenn sich eine badende Person im Bereich des Drehgriffs an die Innenseite der Badewanne anlehnt, ist dies jedoch für die badende Person normalerweise unangenehm.Bathtubs are usually equipped with an overflow and overflow set. There are waste and overflow sets are known in which the drain hole mounted in the bathtub drain valve is actuated by means of a mounted on the overflow opening of the bathtub rotary handle. The rotary handle, which is also referred to as a rotary escutcheon and the optical cover of the overflow opening of the bath is used, is coupled via a transmission, which usually has a Bowden cable, with the valve plug of the drain valve. Conventional rotary handles of this type are relatively far in the bathtub, so they are easy to use and ensure sufficient overflow of rising in the bathtub water in the overflow opening. However, if a person bathing in the area of the rotary handle leans against the inside of the bathtub, this is usually unpleasant for the person bathing.

Aus der DE 20 2005 004 262 U1 ist eine Sanitäreinrichtung mit einer eine Überlaufvorrichtung aufweisenden Badewanne bekannt, wobei die Überlaufvorrichtung einen um eine Achse drehbaren Drehknopf zur Betätigung einer Abflusseinrichtung aufweist. An dem Drehknopf ist ein als Klappe ausgebildeter Bedienungsgriff um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar angelenkt. Die Klappe kann aus einer geöffneten Stellung in eine geschlossene Stellung überführt werden, wodurch sich ein öffenbares und schließbares Nebelaustrittsventil ergibt. Die Klappe ist leicht gewölbt, so dass sie einerseits im geschlossenen Zustand den Drehknopf der Überlaufvorrichtung weitgehend abdecken kann, andererseits in der geöffneten Stellung eine Umlenkfunktion für den austretenden Nebel in das Wanneninnere etwa parallel zum Wannenboden erfüllt.From the DE 20 2005 004 262 U1 a sanitary device with an overflow device having bath is known, wherein the overflow device comprises a rotatable about an axis knob for actuating a drain device. On the knob a trained as a flap operating handle is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis. The flap can be transferred from an open position to a closed position, resulting in an openable and closable mist outlet valve. The flap is slightly curved, so that it can largely cover the one hand in the closed state, the knob of the overflow device, on the other hand in the open position, a deflection function for the exiting fog in the tub inside approximately parallel to the tub bottom met.

Die GB 830 734 A zeigt eine Überlauf- und Ablaufsteuervorrichtung für eine Badewanne, mit einem kappenförmigen Drehgriff zur Betätigung von Mitteln zur Steuerung des Ablaufauslasses der Badewanne, wobei der Drehgriff aus einem perforierten Element gebildet ist, das die Überlauföffnung der Badewanne abdeckt.The GB 830 734 A shows an overflow and drainage control device for a bathtub, with a cap-shaped rotary handle for actuating means for controlling the drainage outlet of the bathtub, wherein the rotary handle is formed of a perforated member covering the overflow opening of the bathtub.

Die US 4 796 310 zeigt eine Badewanne mit einer eine plattenförmige Überlaufabdeckung aufweisenden Ablaufventilsteuerung. Die Überlaufabdeckung ist in einer Vertiefung einer im Wesentlichen vertikalen Wand der Badewanne beweglich montiert, wo sie eine Überlauföffnung abdeckt. Die plattenförmige Überlaufabdeckung hat eine glatte Außenseite und schließt in ihrer Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung bündig mit der vertikalen Wand der Badewanne ab, um eine glatte, durchgehende Oberfläche zu bilden, gegen die sich eine badende Person anlehnen kann.The US 4,796,310 shows a bathtub with a plate-shaped overflow cover having drain valve control. The overflow cover is movably mounted in a recess of a substantially vertical wall of the bathtub, where it covers an overflow opening. The plate-shaped overflow cover has a smooth outer surface and, in its non-use position, is flush with the vertical wall of the bathtub to form a smooth, continuous surface against which a person bathing can lean against.

Die DE 28 06 382 A1 offenbart ein Überlaufventil mit Betätigungselementen für ein Ablaufventil, wobei die Betätigungselemente am Boden eines topfförmigen, mit Durchbrechungen für den Wasserablauf versehenen Gehäuses gelagert sind, in welchem sie zumindest in der Schließstellung des Ablaufventils versenkt angeordnet sind. Die Betätigungselemente umfassen einen Drehhebel, welcher auf einer mit einem Exzenter zur Betätigung eines Zugseiles versehenen Exzenterwelle drehfest aufsitzt, oder einen Kipphebel, an dessen einen Arm ein Zugseil oder dergleichen Übertragungselement angeschlossen ist.The DE 28 06 382 A1 discloses an overflow valve with actuators for a drain valve, wherein the actuators are mounted on the bottom of a cup-shaped, provided with perforations for the water outlet housing, in which they are arranged sunk at least in the closed position of the drain valve. The actuating elements comprise a rotary lever which is non-rotatably seated on an eccentric shaft provided with an eccentric for actuating a traction cable, or a rocker arm, to whose arm a traction cable or the like transmission element is connected.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Drehgriff zur Betätigung eines Ablaufventils einer Ab- und Überlaufgarnitur einer Badewanne anzugeben, der, wenn an der Überlauföffnung in der Innenwand der Badewanne montiert, von einer badenden Person nicht als störend empfunden wird, wenn sich die badende Person dort anlehnt.The present invention has for its object to provide a rotary handle for actuating a drain valve of an overflow and overflow of a bathtub, which, when mounted on the overflow opening in the inner wall of the bathtub is not bothersome by a person bathing, when the bathing Person leaning there.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Drehrosette mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a rotary rosette with the features of claim 1.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein besonders flach ausgebildeter Drehgriff (Drehrosette) mit einer relativ geringen in die Badewanne vorstehenden Dicke von weniger als 20 mm zur Verfügung gestellt, der von einer badenden, daran anlehnenden Person kaum oder gar nicht als störend empfunden wird, dennoch aber durch den aus einer Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung in eine gegenüber der Frontfläche der Drehrosette und/oder deren Umfang vorstehende Gebrauchsstellung bewegbaren Griff eine gute Bedienbarkeit bietet.By the invention, a particularly flat trained rotary handle (rotary rosette) is provided with a relatively small in the bathtub projecting thickness of less than 20 mm available, which is hardly or not at all bothersome by a bathing, leaning person, but still by the handle, which can be moved from a non-use position to a position of use that can be moved relative to the front face of the rotary rosette and / or its circumference, offers good operability.

Unter der in die Badewanne vorstehenden Dicke der Drehrosette wird im vorliegenden Kontext der vorspringende Abstand der Vorderfläche der Drehrosette gegenüber der Wanneninnenseite verstanden.In the present context, the protruding distance of the front face of the rotary rosette from the inside of the tub is understood as the thickness of the rotary rosette projecting into the bathtub.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung, in welcher die erfindungsgemäße Drehrosette eine in die Badewanne vorstehende Dicke von weniger als 18 mm, vorzugsweise von weniger oder gleich 16 mm aufweist. Je flacher die Drehrosette ist, desto weniger stört sie eine badende Person, die sich daran anlehnt. Zur Vermeidung einer störenden Druckwirkung beim Anlehnen an die Drehrosette ist es auch vorteilhaft, wenn der Durchmesser der Drehrosette gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung mindestens 80 mm, vorzugsweise mindestens 90 mm beträgt.Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the rotary escutcheon according to the invention has a thickness of less than 18 mm, preferably less than or equal to 16 mm, protruding into the bathtub. The flatter the rotating rosette is, the less bothering a bathing person who leans against it. To avoid a disturbing pressure effect when leaning against the rotary rosette It is also advantageous if the diameter of the rotary rosette according to a preferred embodiment is at least 80 mm, preferably at least 90 mm.

Die erfindungsgemäße Drehrosette ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ihr Griff in Form eines aus- und einklappbaren Bügelgriffes ausgebildet ist. Der Griff lässt sich sehr zuverlässig schwenkbar an der Drehrosette lagern sowie sehr komfortabel handhaben. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn der aus- und einklappbare Griff gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung im wesentlichen in Form eines Halbkreisbogens ausgebildet ist und der Radius seiner äußeren Umfangskante dem Radius der äußeren Umfangskante der Drehrosette entspricht.The rotary rosette according to the invention is characterized in that its handle is designed in the form of an extendable and retractable bow handle. The handle can be very reliably stored pivoting on the rotary rosette and handle very comfortable. This is particularly the case when the extendable and retractable handle is formed according to a particularly preferred embodiment substantially in the form of a semicircular arc and the radius of its outer peripheral edge corresponds to the radius of the outer peripheral edge of the rotary rosette.

Um eine Beeinträchtigung der badenden Person durch den Griff der Drehrosette auszuschließen, sieht die Erfindung vor, dass an der Drehrosette bzw. dem Griff mindestens ein Rastmittel vorgesehen ist, mittels dem der Griff in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung an der Drehrosette verrastbar ist. Hierdurch kann ein ungewolltes Ausklappen des Griffs aus seiner Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung sicher verhindert werden.To preclude impairment of the person bathing by the handle of the rotary rosette, the invention provides that at least one latching means is provided on the rotary rosette or the handle, by means of which the handle in its non-use position on the rotary rosette can be latched. As a result, accidental unfolding of the handle can be safely prevented from its non-use position.

Zur zuverlässigen Festlegung eines aus- und einklappbaren Griffs in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung ist gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass die Drehrosette einen dem Griff zugeordneten Anschlagflansch aufweist, durch den die Einklappbewegung des Griffs begrenzt ist.For reliable determination of an extendable and retractable handle in its non-use position is provided according to a further advantageous embodiment that the rotary escutcheon has a stop flange associated with the handle, through which the Einklappbewegung of the handle is limited.

Hinsichtlich der Vermeidung einer störenden Druckwirkung beim Anlehnen an die Drehrosette ist es ferner vorteilhaft, wenn gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Drehrosette deren Umfangskante, einschließlich der Umfangskante des Griffs, abgerundet oder satteldachförmig abgeschrägt ist. Die Abrundung kann dabei vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen halbkreisförmig ausgeführt sein.With regard to the avoidance of a disturbing pressure effect when leaning against the rotary rosette, it is also advantageous if according to a further embodiment of the rotary rosette according to the invention whose peripheral edge, including the peripheral edge of the handle, rounded or saddle-shaped roof is beveled. The rounding can preferably be carried out substantially semicircular.

Die Rückseite R der Drehrosette 9 ist zur Wanneninnenseite hin beabstandet, um bei Erreichen eines vorgegebenen Wasserniveaus in der Badewanne einen Überlauf von weiter zufließendem Wasser in die Überlaufleitung 7 zu ermöglichen. Der Abstand zwischen Drehrosettenrückseite R und Wanneninnenseite (= D1 minus D2) beträgt weniger als 10 mm, beispielsweise etwa 8 mm.The rear side R of the rotary rosette 9 is spaced to the inside of the tub to allow on reaching a predetermined level of water in the bathtub an overflow of further inflowing water in the overflow line 7. The distance between the back of the rotary rosette R and the inside of the tub (= D1 minus D2) is less than 10 mm, for example about 8 mm.

Die Drehrosette 9 ist im Wesentlichen kreisscheibenförmig ausgebildet und umfasst einen aus- und einklappbaren Bügelgriff 9.1 , der im Wesentlichen die Form eines Halbkreisbogens aufweist. Die Form des den Bügelgriff 9.1 haltenden Abschnitts der Drehrosette 9 ist geometrisch betrachtet aus einer größeren Halbkreisscheibe 9.2 und einer kleineren Halbkreisscheibe 9.3 zusammengesetzt, wobei diese Form durch den halbkreisbogenförmigen Bügelgriff 9.1 in seiner eingeklappten Stellung zu einer Kreisscheibe ergänzt ist.The rotary rosette 9 is formed substantially circular disk-shaped and comprises an extendable and retractable bow handle 9.1, which has substantially the shape of a semicircular arc. The shape of the bow handle 9.1 holding portion of the rotary rosette 9 is geometrically composed of a larger semi-circular disc 9.2 and a smaller half-circular disc 9.3, this form is supplemented by the semicircular bow handle 9.1 in its retracted position to a circular disc.

Der Radius der äußeren Umfangskante 9.11 des Bügelgriffs 9.1 entspricht dem Radius der äußeren Umfangskante 9.21 der Drehrosette 9. Der Durchmesser D3 der Drehrosette 9 sowie des Bügelgriffes 9.1 beträgt mindestens 85 mm, vorzugsweise mindestens 90 mm.The radius of the outer peripheral edge 9.11 of the bow handle 9.1 corresponds to the radius of the outer peripheral edge 9.21 of the rotary rosette 9. The diameter D3 of the rotary rosette 9 and the bow handle 9.1 is at least 85 mm, preferably at least 90 mm.

In der eingeklappten Stellung (Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung) des Bügelgriffes 9.1 schließt dessen Vorderfläche bündig mit dem übrigen Vorderflächenabschnitt der Drehrosette 9 ab. Die Vorderfläche V von Drehrosette 9 und Bügelgriff 9.1 ist im wesentlichen eben ausgebildet.In the retracted position (non-use position) of the bow handle 9.1 its front surface is flush with the rest of the front surface portion of the rotary rosette 9 from. The front surface V of rotary rosette 9 and bow handle 9.1 is formed substantially flat.

Die Umfangskante 9.21 der Drehrosette 9 einschließlich der Umfangskante 9.11 des Bügelgriffes 9.1 ist abgerundet. Die Abrundung der Umfangskante 9.21 und 9.11 ist halbkreisförmig ausgeführt (vgl. insbesondere Fig. 3). Die dem größeren halbkreisscheibenförmigen Abschnitt 9.2 der Drehrosette 9 zugewandten Enden 9.12 und 9.13 des Bügelgriffes 9.1 sind ebenfalls abgerundet. Am Umfang des kleineren Abschnitts 9.3 sind nahe den Absätzen 9.22 und 9.23 zum größeren Abschnitt 9.2 gegenüber dem Umfang 9.24 des kleineren Abschnitts 9.3 radial vorstehende Stifte (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet, an denen der Bügelgriff 9.1 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Drehrosette 9 ist bezüglich des Griffes 9.1 so in das Überlaufgehäuse 8 der Ab- und Überlaufgarnitur montiert, dass der Griff 9.1 bei geschlossenem Ablaufventil schwerkraftbedingt nach unten in eine Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung klappt.The peripheral edge 9.21 of the rotary rosette 9 including the peripheral edge 9.11 of the bow handle 9.1 is rounded. The rounding of the peripheral edge 9.21 and 9.11 is semicircular (see, in particular Fig. 3 ). The larger semi-circular disc-shaped portion 9.2 of the rotary rosette 9 facing ends 9.12 and 9.13 of the bow handle 9.1 are also rounded. On the circumference of the smaller portion 9.3 are near the paragraphs 9.22 and 9.23 to the larger portion 9.2 relative to the circumference 9.24 of the smaller section 9.3 radially projecting pins (not shown) arranged on which the bow handle 9.1 is pivotally mounted. The rotary rosette 9 is mounted with respect to the handle 9.1 in the overflow housing 8 of the waste and overflow set, that the handle 9.1 works with a closed drain valve gravity down to a non-use position.

An dem kleineren halbkreisscheibenförmigen Abschnitt 9.3 der Drehrosette 9 ist zudem ein Rastmittel in Form einer Rastnase 9.25 vorgesehen. Die Rastnase 9.25 ist am Umfang dieses Abschnitts 9.3 im Wesentlichen mittig angeordnet. An der Innenseite des Bügelgriffes 9.1 ist eine der Rastnase 9.25 zugeordnete Vertiefung (nicht dargestellt) ausgebildet. In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist zu erkennen, dass der kleinere halbkreisscheibenförmige Abschnitt 9.3 der Drehrosette 9 an seinem Umfang einen Anschlagflansch 9.26 aufweist, der die Einklappbewegung des Bügelgriffs 9.1 begrenzt.At the smaller semicircular disc-shaped portion 9.3 of the rotary rosette 9 also a locking means in the form of a latch 9.25 is provided. The locking lug 9.25 is arranged substantially centrally on the circumference of this section 9.3. On the inside of the bow handle 9.1 is one of the locking lug 9.25 associated recess (not shown) is formed. In the Figures 3 and 4 It can be seen that the smaller semicircular disc-shaped portion 9.3 of the rotary rosette 9 has at its periphery a stop flange 9.26, which limits the Einklappbewegung the bow handle 9.1.

Die Drehrosette 9 einschließlich des Bügelgriffes 9.1 können aus Kunststoff und/oder Metall gefertigt sein.The rotary rosette 9 including the bow handle 9.1 can be made of plastic and / or metal.

Die Ausführung der Erfindung ist nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Vielmehr sind zahlreiche Abwandlungen möglich, die dennoch von dem in den beiliegenden Ansprüchen formulierten Erfindungsgedanken Gebrauch machen. So muss eine mit der erfindungsgemäßen Drehrosette 9 ausgerüstete Ab- und Überlaufgarnitur nicht zwingend einen Bowdenzug aufweisen. Sie kann statt dessen beispielsweise auch mit einem der Betätigung des Ablaufventils dienenden Gestänge gekoppelt sein.The embodiment of the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Rather, numerous modifications are possible which nevertheless make use of the inventive concept formulated in the appended claims. Thus, a equipped with the rotary escutcheon 9 invention waste and overflow must not necessarily have a Bowden cable. Instead, it may for example also be coupled to a linkage serving to actuate the drainage valve.

Eine alternative, ebenso vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht insbesondere darin, anstelle eines aus- und einklappbaren Griffs 9.1 einen radial verschiebbaren Griff vorzusehen, der in einer radial verlaufenden, hinterschnittenen Nut in der Frontfläche der Drehrosette gehalten ist und aus einer Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung in eine gegenüber dem Umfang der Drehrosette vorstehende Gebrauchsstellung verschiebbar ist.An alternative, equally advantageous embodiment of the invention is in particular to provide a radially displaceable handle instead of an extendable and retractable handle 9.1, which is held in a radially extending, undercut groove in the front surface of the rotary rosette and from a non-use position in one opposite the extent of the rotary rosette projecting position of use is displaced.
