Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a quick-mounting water discharge group for sanitary facilities.
  • discharge groups and in particular for bath tubs, comprise one or more elements which are to be mounted in a hole of the sanitary facility on one hand while on the other to be connected to the discharge pipes.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a quick-rapid water discharge group for sanitary facilities which do not require, during the assembly step, use of adhesive substances such as silicon.
  • Further object of the present invention is to provide a quick-mounting water discharge group for sanitary facilities easy to make at a low cost.
  • a quick-mounting water discharge group for sanitary facilities 50 is indicated as 10.
  • sanitary facilities means elements such as sinks, wash-tubs, bidets or, preferably bath tubs, as shown for example in figure 1 and 5 .
  • the quick-mounting water discharge group 10 for sanitary facilities 50 mentioned above comprises a first element 12, connectable, through a lower closure ring 40, in a non-removable manner with a hole 14 made in an eventual sanitary facility 50 and a second element 13 connectable without any of the adhesive substance to the closure ring 40 mentioned above during the assembling step of the group 10 itself.
  • the first element 12 is mushroom-shaped and, as mentioned beforehand, it can be applied in a hole 14 advantageously made in a lower portion of the sanitary facility 50 for the passage of water from the sanitary 50 itself towards the outside.
  • such first element 12 comprises a head portion 15 which, in use, is connectable to the internal wall of the sanitary facility 50 and shaped in a manner such that it covers substantially the related abovementioned hole 14 and to extend beyond it for a short section on the internal wall of the sanitary facility 50 mentioned above.
  • a hollow tubular portion 16 has dimensions such that it extends beyond the lower wall of the sanitary facility 50 through the hole 14.
  • the head portion 15 when mounted, does not make the hole 14 watertight but allows passage of water from the sanitary facility 50 into the tubular portion 16.
  • the group 10 comprises, as mentioned beforehand, a lower closure ring 40, preferably provided with a sealing gasket 30, which is mounted laterally externally on a lower portion of the tubular portion 16 in a manner such that it abuts against the lower external wall of the sanitary facility 50 when the group 10 is mounted and installed.
  • Such lower closure ring 40 and in particular one of its internal portion 42, can be screwed onto a lower portion of the tubular portion 16 projecting below the sanitary facility 50, when mounted.
  • portions 15 and 16 of the mushroom-shaped element 12 can be integrally made, as previously described, or they can be two separate elements such as a conical body 16, equipped with a lower threaded end 46, and an upper covering cap 15.
  • the quick-mounting water discharge group 10 for sanitary facilities 50 additionally comprises a second element 13 connectable of the lower closure ring 40 in a manner such that it is positioned, when mounted, below the sanitary facility 50.
  • such second element 13 is a box-shaped element and it comprises a first upper opening 17 and at least a second upper water discharge opening 18 in which, during assembly of the group 10, the first upper opening 17 is connectable stably to the lower closure ring 40.
  • the first upper opening 17 and the related portion of contact of the lower closure ring 40 can be snap-coupled due to the presence, on the ring 40, of an annular projection 41 equipped with a tooth-shaped end 20 capable of interlocking with the related annular seat 45 made on the external surface of the opening 17.
  • the invention does not require advantageously the presence of any adhesive substance, for example silicon, thus reducing to zero the waiting time for laying operations of the sanitary facility 50 upon the first use of the same.
  • the quick-mounting water discharge group 10 can comprise, in a preferred embodiment, also an improved discharge closure set 100 adapted to make the discharge pipe 18' selectively accessible with the water eventually contained inside the sanitary facility 50.
  • FIG. 3a-4b An example of such discharge closure set 100 is shown in figures 3a-4b and comprises a plug 111 free to move between a first open position, raised, and a second closed position, lowered.
  • such plug 111 cooperates with a discharge mouth 112 made upstream of the discharge opening 18 in a seat within the second element 13.
  • the plug when in closed position the plug cooperates with the mouth 112 closing it completely and blocking any water penetrating into the group 10 from the sanitary facility 50 upstream of the mouth 112 itself and consequently upstream of the discharge opening 18.
  • the second element 13 in fact internally contains two selectively communicating compartments in which the first is always connected through the first element 12 to the eventual sanitary facility 50, and in particular with the water contained therein, and the second compartment is always connected with the discharge pipe 18' through the opening 18.
  • the portion of the plug 111 which cooperates with the mouth 112 is complementary to it and it is provided with a gasket 114 adapted to maintain the closure watertight, thus preventing the water present in the sanitary facility 50 from discharging into the discharge pipe 18'.
  • the discharge closure set 100 is provided with opening/closing means 115 which cooperate with the plug 111 in order to move it to one of the two open or closed positions.
  • the opening/closing means comprise a moveable element 118 moving between a first coupling position with said plug 111 and a second uncoupled position.
  • the moveable element 118 is a first permanent magnet and the plug 111 comprises a second permanent magnet 119 of the same polarity which thus generates a repulsion effect against the moveable element 118.
  • guide and stop means 120 are provided, such as upper and lower abutments, for which cooperate with the plug 111, in order to define and delimit the distance which can be covered by the same.
  • Such guide and stop means 120 cooperate with the lower portion of the plug 111 in order to make a stop for the opening movement of the plug 111.
  • the moveable element 118 of the opening/closing means 115 is preferably connected to actuation means 116 outside the sanitary facility 50 and arranged such that it can be activated by a user.
  • the external actuation means 116 operate on the moveable element 118 to control its movement through suitable motion transmission means 117, such as for example a rigid rod connected to a lever 121 constrained to rotate around a pin 122.
  • the moveable element 118 is positioned outside the discharge pipe 18' and therefore, the motion transmission means 117 do not have to come into contact with water.
  • the moveable element 118 is brought by the motion transmission means 117 to a distal position with respect to the plug 111 so that there is substantially no coupling between the permanent magnet 119 provided for on the plug and the moveable element 118 itself.
  • the plug 111 When in closed position, the plug 111 is at least partially inserted in the discharge mouth 112 and completely closes it in a substantially watertight manner.
  • the discharge mouth section 112 of the second element 13 is preferably frustoconically shaped, with the larger base turned upwards, like the section of the plug portion complementary to the same. In such a manner, on one hand, greater interference and thus sealing between the plug 111 and such mouth 112 is ensured, while on the other hand the mouth 112 acts as a stop for the closing movement of the plug 111.
  • the plug 111 rises, guided by the guide and stop means 120, until it interferes with the same, thus leaving the mouth 112 of the second element 13 at least partially open. Hence the water can flow into the discharge pipe 18' through the opening 18 of the second element 13.
  • Figure 5 shows a bath tub 50 provided with the group 10 and discharge closure set 100 of sanitary facilities as they have been just described.
  • the group 10 can also comprise at least a third 33 and fourth 34 opening, arranged substantially on the opposite side with respect to the second opening 18, which connect the group 10 to a filling limiting device for sanitary facilities 210.
  • FIG. 6 A preferred embodiment of such filling limiting device 210 connected to the group 10 both mounted on a sanitary facility 50 is shown schematically in figure 6 .
  • Such filling limiting device 210 comprises a first pipe 211 connectable at its first end 212 to the third opening 33 of the second element 13 upstream of the mouth 112 and connected at a second end 213 to a second pipe 214 for water drainage.
  • the first pipe 211 is shaped in a manner such that its second end 213 is positioned at a higher elevation with respect to its first end 212.
  • the second pipe 214 comprises a first end 215 connected to the second end 213 of the first pipe 211 and a second end 216 positioned at lower elevation than the first end 212 of the first pipe 211 and connected to the fourth opening 34 downstream of the mouth 112.
  • a vent pipe 217 towards the environment is provided for.
  • a vent control valve 219 is arranged and provided with a membrane 220 which allows exit and/or entry of air into the filling limiting device 210.
  • the membrane has at least one coupling seat 222 with the open end 218 of the vent pipe 217 and is made of elastically deformable material in order to selectively make a sealed coupling with such end.
  • the membrane is provided with a centrally-arranged, preferably cross-shaped cut 221; such membrane also advantageously is of negligible weight.
  • the vent control valve 219 faces a wall of the sanitary facility 50 at the external actuation means 116 of the closure set 110 previously described. In such a manner, such valve 219 is concealed from sight and protected against clogging due to accumulation of dirt or any other sediment material.
  • the plug 111 is inserted at least partially into the discharge mouth 12 and closes it in a substantially watertight manner.
  • the filling tank 51 collects water up to a first maximum filling level delimitated by the elevation at which the first and the second pipe 211, 214 of the filling limiting device 210 join, as illustrated in figure 8a .
  • the water 52 also reaches such level in the first pipe 211 of the filling limiting device 210. Once such level has been reached, the excess water tends to flow, pushed by the weight of the water 52 present in the filling tank 51, from the first pipe 211 of the filling limiting device 210 to the second pipe 214 of the same thus flowing towards the discharge 113 connected downstream of the second pipe 214.
  • filling limiting device 210 can be employed even for sinks, wash-tubs, bidets or other similar facilities.
  • the quick-mounting water discharge group 10 for sanitary facilities 50 comprises a first and second element 12, 13 alongside a lower closure ring 40.
  • the first element 12 is mushroom-shaped and it can be mounted in a non-removable manner in the sanitary facility 50 in a hole 14 made in a lower portion of the same sanitary facility 50 itself.
  • the lower closure ring 40 can be connected on the lower part to the first element 12 to maintain it in the abovementioned insertion position of the hole 14 of the sanitary facility 50.
  • the second element 13 is a box-shaped element and it comprises a first upper opening 17 and at least a second water discharge opening 18, in which the first upper opening 17 can be snap-coupled with the lower closure ring 40 to create a water passage from the first element 12 to the second element 13 which in turn is selectively in communication with the discharge pipe 18'.
  • connection between the second element 13 and the ring 40 is of snap-coupling type, no application of glue or silicon is required during the mounting step.
  • the group 10 can advantageously comprise a control set of the opening 110 and a filling limiting device 210 as described previously in a manner to make an improved sanitary facility.
