Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de commande d'écoulement d'eau pour une douche, un sanitaire ou analogue, destiné à être encastré, notamment dans un mur, tels que ceux que l'on trouve dans les documents
On connaît déjà dans l'art antérieur un dispositif de commande d'écoulement d'eau pour une douche qui comporte un élément formant boîtier principal dans lequel sont reçus les éléments de robinetterie usuels destinés à la commande de l'écoulement de l'eau, l'élément boîtier principal étant destiné à être encastré dans un logement formé dans un mur, de sorte que seuls font saillie de ce mur les éléments de commande manuelle, tels qu'un bouton de pression, une poignée ou un levier de commande, et analogue. Le dispositif comportant en outre une plaque de forme annulaire appelée "face intermédiaire" destinée à être fixée à un bord du boîtier au niveau où il fait saillie hors du logement et une plaque appelée "face avant" destinée à coopérer avec la face intermédiaire pour assurer la fermeture et l'encastrement du dispositif de commande dans le mur en ne laissant passer que les éléments de commande manuelle, tels que la poignée de commande d'un mitigeur.Already known in the prior art a water flow control device for a shower which comprises a main housing element in which are received the usual valves for controlling the flow of water, the main housing element being intended to be recessed in a housing formed in a wall, so that only the manual control elements, such as a pressure knob, a handle or a control lever, protrude from this wall, and similar. The device further comprising an annular shaped plate called "intermediate face" intended to be fixed to an edge of the housing at the point where it projects out of the housing and a plate called "front face" intended to cooperate with the intermediate face to ensure the closing and embedding of the control device in the wall by allowing only the manual control elements, such as the control handle of a mixer.
Dans des dispositifs connus de l'art antérieur, la face intermédiaire est fixée le long du bord extérieur du boîtier par l'intermédiaire de vis. L'étanchéité entre le boîtier et la face intermédiaire est réalisée par la présence d'un joint de forme collé sur la face intermédiaire le long de son pourtour. L'étanchéité entre la face avant et la face intermédiaire est réalisée par un joint qui s'étend sur le diamètre extérieur de la face intermédiaire. Ces dispositifs de l'art antérieur, bien que faciles d'installation et présentant l'avantage que les vis de fixation de la face intermédiaire, cachées par la face avant, ne sont pas apparentes, présentent cependant comme inconvénient de ne pas être assurés contre le vandalisme, leur démontage pouvant être réalisé simplement. D'autre part, il y a un jeu important entre les divers éléments, ce qui nuit à l'étanchéité du dispositif.In devices known from the prior art, the intermediate face is fixed along the outer edge of the housing by means of screws. The seal between the housing and the intermediate face is achieved by the presence of a form seal glued to the face intermediate along its periphery. The seal between the front face and the intermediate face is formed by a seal which extends over the outside diameter of the intermediate face. These devices of the prior art, although easy to install and having the advantage that the fixing screws of the intermediate face, hidden by the front face, are not apparent, however, have the disadvantage of not being insured against vandalism, disassembly can be achieved simply. On the other hand, there is a significant clearance between the various elements, which affects the sealing of the device.
La présente invention vise à surmonter les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un dispositif du genre mentionné ci-dessus qui, tout en étant très simple à monter, présente une plus grande sécurité vis-à-vis d'actes de vandalisme éventuels, notamment en étant beaucoup plus complexe à démonter une fois installé, et qui en outre présente une étanchéité plus grande.The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a device of the kind mentioned above which, while being very simple to mount, has a greater safety vis-à-vis possible acts of vandalism, in particular being much more complex to disassemble once installed, and which also has a greater seal.
Suivant l'invention, un dispositif de commande d'écoulement d'eau est tel que défini à la revendication 1.According to the invention, a water flow control device is as defined in
Des perfectionnements et modes de réalisation préférés sont décrits aux sous-revendications.Improvements and preferred embodiments are described in the subclaims.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le mouvement d'insertion de la face avant dans sa position de fixation à la face intermédiaire comporte un premier trajet dans la direction perpendiculaire à la face intermédiaire suivi d'un deuxième trajet dans une direction parallèle aux plans des faces.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the insertion movement of the front face in its position of attachment to the intermediate face comprises a first path in the direction perpendicular to the intermediate face followed by a second path in one direction. parallel to the plane of the faces.
De préférence, le deuxième trajet est un trajet en arc de cercle, notamment sur un angle compris entre 5° et 25°, notamment environ 15°.Preferably, the second path is an arcuate path, in particular at an angle of between 5 ° and 25 °, in particular about 15 °.
Dans l'invention, il est disposé un joint torique d'étanchéité entre la face intermédiaire et la face avant. Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'agencement est tel que la compression appliquée sur le joint torique d'étanchéité augmente au fur et à mesure du mouvement de la face avant vers sa position finale de fixation.In the invention, there is disposed an O-ring seal between the intermediate face and the front face. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the arrangement is such that the compression applied to the O-ring seal increases as the movement of the front face to its final fixing position.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le côté intérieur de la face avant, c'est-à-dire le côté tourné vers le mur, comporte au moins un ergot, de préférence trois ergots répartis uniformément le long du pourtour, et il est formé dans la face intermédiaire au moins un logement, de préférence trois logements, ayant une forme permettant la réception dudit au moins un ergot.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inside of the front face, that is to say the side facing the wall, comprises at least one lug, preferably three pins distributed uniformly along the periphery, and there is formed in the intermediate face at least one housing, preferably three housings, having a shape for receiving said at least one lug.
De préférence, le ou les ergot (s) ont une forme en crochet et la fixation s'effectue par accrochage du ou des ergot(s) à une patte respective formée dans le logement respectif.Preferably, the lug (s) have a hook shape and attachment is effected by hooking the lug (s) to a respective lug formed in the respective housing.
De préférence, la patte destinée à coopérer avec le crochet issu de la face avant a une épaisseur qui augmente à partir d'une extrémité libre, de sorte qu'au fur et à mesure que le crochet, dans sa position d'accrochage à la patte, est déplacé pour fixer la face avant, il s'adapte de manière toujours plus serrée à la patte pour ainsi augmenter la force de pression entre la face avant et la face intermédiaire, et notamment la compression du joint d'étanchéité se trouvant entre ces deux faces.Preferably, the tab intended to cooperate with the hook coming from the front face has a thickness that increases from a free end, so that as the hook, in its hooking position to the leg, is moved to fix the front face, it adapts always tighter to the tab to thereby increase the pressure force between the front face and the intermediate face, and in particular the compression of the seal between these two faces.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, au moins une vis, notamment une vis sans tête, assure un blocage mutuel des faces avant et intermédiaire dans la position finale de fixation. En particulier, le blocage est un blocage empêchant tout mouvement dans la direction opposée à la direction du deuxième trajet d'insertion.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one screw, in particular a grub screw, provides a mutual blocking of the front and intermediate faces in the final fixing position. In particular, the blocking is a blocking preventing any movement in the opposite direction to the direction of the second insertion path.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le blocage du déplacement mutuel entre la face avant et la face intermédiaire s'effectue par une vis qui s'étend dans une direction parallèle aux plans des deux faces.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the locking of the mutual displacement between the front face and the intermediate face is effected by a screw which extends in a direction parallel to the planes of the two faces.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la vis sans tête a un usinage conique pour supprimer le jeu lors du serrage contre la face avant.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the grub screw has a conical machining to eliminate the play when clamping against the front face.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'agencement est tel que la vis doit être vissée pour enlever le blocage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the arrangement is such that the screw must be screwed to remove the blockage.

- est une vue en perspective identique à la
figure 7 dans laquelle la vis de blocage en rotation des deux faces a été vissée pour ôter l'antirotation, de sorte qu'à lafigure 8 les deux faces peuvent tourner l'une par rapport à l'autre, et notamment la face intermédiaire peut être tournée d'un quart de tour pour ensuite être enlevée de sa liaison avec la face intermédiaire.

A la
Il est prévu un joint d'étanchéité torique entre la face intermédiaire et le boîtier 1 (ce joint n'est pas représenté aux figures) ainsi qu'un joint 6 d'étanchéité entre la face 3 intermédiaire et la face 5 avant. Dans le présent mode de réalisation, le joint 6 torique est porté par la face intermédiaire. Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, on pourrait prévoir que ce joint torique d'étanchéité en matériau élastomère classique soit porté par la face 5 avant. On pourrait également prévoir suivant d'autres modes de réalisation deux joints toriques chacun porté par une face respective.There is provided an O-ring between the intermediate face and the housing 1 (this seal is not shown in the figures) and a
Le joint 6 d'étanchéité s'étend le long du pourtour extérieur de la face intermédiaire et assure l'étanchéité entre la face 3 intermédiaire et la face 5 avant au niveau ou sensiblement au niveau de leur pourtour extérieur. Le joint d'étanchéité est en particulier plus proche du pourtour extérieur que du pourtour intérieur.The
Suivant l'invention, il est prévu des moyens de fixation de la face avant à la face intermédiaire qui sont tels que la fixation de la face 5 avant à la face 3 intermédiaire s'effectue par premier mouvement de la face avant vers la face arrière, puis par un deuxième mouvement aux plans des faces, ici une rotation relative de la face avant par rapport à la face intermédiaire par rapport à un axe de rotation perpendiculaire aux deux faces. Les moyens de fixation de la face 5 avant à la face 3 intermédiaire sont constitués de trois crochets 7 issus du verso de la face 5 avant et de trois logements 10 correspondants formés dans la face intermédiaire.According to the invention, there are provided means for fixing the front face to the intermediate face which are such that the attachment of the
Les trois crochets 7 sont répartis uniformément sur le pourtour de la face 5 avant. Chaque crochet 7 comporte un tronçon 8 formant tige s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la face 5 avant et une partie 9 de tête s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la partie 8 de tige et sensiblement parallèlement au plan de la face avant en étant à distance de cette face avant.The three
De manière correspondante aux crochets 7, il est formé dans la face intermédiaire des logements 10. Ces logements 10 sont destinés à coopérer avec les crochets 7 et les dimensions relatives des logements 10 et des crochets 7 sont liées.Correspondingly to the
Ainsi, le logement 10 comporte une ouverture 11 qui est constituée d'une partie sensiblement rectangulaire de forme complémentaire de la tête 9 du crochet 7, de sorte que cette tête 9 puisse passer dans l'ouverture 11. En outre, cette ouverture 11 rectangulaire du logement 10 est prolongée par une fente 12, dont la dimension est telle que la tige 8 du crochet 7 peut y passer pour permettre un accrochage du crochet 7 par passage de la tête 9 de l'autre côté de la patte 13 délimitant la fente 12. L'épaisseur de la patte 13 délimitant la fente 12 est croissante à partir du côté se trouvant au niveau de l'ouverture 11 rectangulaire du logement 10 et en allant vers le bord 14 opposé du logement 10. Ainsi, pour fixer la face avant à la face intermédiaire, on positionne la face avant de sorte que les têtes 9 des crochets 7 respectifs se trouvent en face des ouvertures 11 de forme complémentaire des têtes 9 (ici rectangulaires) et on pousse (il s'agit du premier mouvement suivant le premier trajet perpendiculairement aux plans des faces) la face intermédiaire de façon à faire pénétrer chaque tête 9 dans son logement 10 respectif, puis on fait subir à la face avant une rotation dite de quart de tour (il s'agit du deuxième mouvement suivant le deuxième trajet parallèle aux plans des faces) pour venir accrocher avec la tête 9 du crochet 7, la patte 13 délimitant la fente 12. Au fur et à mesure que l'on tourne (dans la direction horaire aux figures) le crochet vers le bord 14, le jeu entre la face avant et la fente 12 diminue pour ainsi venir s'ajuster serré ou en force et ainsi serrer la face intermédiaire de plus en plus contre la face avant, et notamment serrer de plus en plus le joint d'étanchéité qui se trouve entre ces deux faces intermédiaires. On peut prévoir notamment que les dimensions relatives des crochets 7 et des ouvertures 10 soient telles que le serrage radial s'effectue pour une rotation comprise entre 10 et 25°, notamment, comme aux figures, pour une rotation de 15°.Thus, the
Une fois la fixation par rotation à 15° de la face avant à la face intermédiaire réalisée, on peut également ensuite bloquer toute rotation de la face avant par rapport à la face intermédiaire dans le sens inverse pour empêcher son enlèvement. Ceci s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'une vis 20, ou de plusieurs vis 20 réparties uniformément à la périphérie des faces intermédiaire et avant. Cette vis 20 ou ces vis 20 s'étend(ent) dans une direction parallèle au plan des faces avant et intermédiaire et donc dans une direction perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement relatif de la face avant par rapport à la face intermédiaire. En particulier, la vis 20 est reçue dans un logement formé dans la face intermédiaire. En position de blocage de la rotation, la tête 21 de la vis fait saillie hors de la face intermédiaire et vient pénétrer dans un trou 22 formé dans le bord extérieur périphérique de la face avant et bloque ainsi toute rotation de la face avant par rapport à la face intermédiaire. Par dévissage de la vis, on peut faire pénétrer la vis à l'intérieur de la face intermédiaire et faire sortir la tête 21 de sa coopération avec le bord extérieur de la face intermédiaire pour ainsi libérer la rotation de la face intermédiaire (voir la
De préférence, on a prévu que la vis sans tête comporte un usinage conique pour supprimer le jeu lors du serrage contre la face avant.Preferably, it is provided that the grub screw has a conical machining to remove the play when clamping against the front face.

- A water flow control device, for example for a shower or a toilet block, to be built in a support, in particular a wall, comprising:- a main casing (1) having an opening to the outside and to be received in an housing formed in said support, the control elements of the device being received in the main casing and projecting through said opening,- an intermediate plate, or intermediate face (3), having a ring shape and being fixated at the edge of the opening of the main casing and extending between an external edge and an internal edge, the fixation being in particular implemented with screws, in particular four screws which are regularly distributed along the periphery of the intermediate face;- a plate forming a front face (5) fixated to said intermediate face so as to close the casing while only the control elements of the valve are left passing therethrough, for example the control handle of a mixing valve or the temperature setting knob; and- a sealing joint (6), in particular an O-ring, for sealing between the intermediate face (3) and the front face (5), said sealing joint extending itself along the external edge of the front face (5) and/or of the intermediate face (3) while being closer to said external edge of the intermediate face (3) than to said internal edge of the intermediate face (3);said water flow control device being provided with fixating means of said front face (5) to said intermediate face (3) arranged such that the fixation is implemented by a movement of the front plate in respect to the intermediate plate having a part which extends in a direction parallel to the planes of the two faces.
- The device as per claim 1, characterized in that the movement of insertion of the front face (5) in the position in which it is fixated to the intermediate face (3) comprises a first path extending in the direction perpendicular to the intermediate face followed by a second path extending in a direction parallel to the planes of the faces.
- The device as per claim 2, characterized in that the second path is an arc of a circle, notably corresponding to an angle comprised between 5° and 25°, notably about 15°.
- The device as per any of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the arrangement is such that the compression applied on the sealing O-ring gradually increases during the movement of the front face towards its final position of fixation.
- The device as per any of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the internal side of the front face, ie the side facing the wall, comprises at least one lug, preferably three lugs (7) uniformly distributed along the periphery, and there is provided in the intermediate face at least one housing (10), preferably three housings, having a shape which allows the receiving of said at least one lug.
- The device as per claim 5, characterized in that said lug(s) has/have a hook shape and the fixation is made by the hooking of said lug(s) to a respective leg (13) formed in the respective housing.
- The device as per claim 6, characterized in that the leg (13) for cooperating with the hook projecting from the front face has a thickness which increases from a free end, so that the hook, in the position where it is hooked to the leg, when moved to be fixated to the front plate, is gradually fitted more and more tightly to the leg so as to increase the pressing force between the front face and the intermediate face, and notably the compressing of the sealing joint (6) between the two faces.
- The device as per any of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that at least one screw (20), notably a screw without a head, allows a mutual blocking of the front and intermediate faces in the final position of fixation.
- The device of claim 8, characterized in that the blocking being a blocking which prevents any movement in the direction opposite the direction of the second path of insertion.
- The device as per claim 8 or 9, characterized in that the blocking of the mutual displacement between the front face and the intermediate face is implemented by a screw which extends itself in a direction parallel to the planes of the two faces.
- The device as per one of claims 8 to 10, characterized in that the screw (20) without a head has is milled in a conical shape to suppress clearance during the tightening against the front face.
