Description

2300898 1 A mixer tap as well as a base therefor The invention relates to
a mixer tap with an outlet spout where a separate outlet spout is provided on the tap or the bottom part of said tap for the discharging of a separate fluid, such as pure water.
People living in areas without pure drinking water are interested in having a separate cleaning plant discharging pure water through a separate outlet channel. Such a separate outlet channel can for instance be provided in the outlet spout by means of a separate pipe in said spout, cf. British Patent Application No. 2,254,910. Great interest attaches, however, in avoiding such an extra pipe inside the outlet spout. In addition, such a structure requires an additional valve in the tap.
The object of the invention is to provide a mixer tap with an extra outlet spout for pure water.
According to the invention this object is achieved by a variable closing means for the separate outlet spout being provided in connection with the tap. As a result, the mixer tap with the additional outlet spout for separate fluid can advantageously be mounted in the usual opening for the tap in the sink or the table.
It is indeed known from German Offenlegungsschrift No. 3,917,238 to provide a separate outlet spout in connection with a separate base. At the end of this outlet spout a pump is provided which when manually activated has the effect that a quantity of liquid soap or the like is discharged. Such a structure cannot be used in connection with separate drinking water because this system does not include a particular closing means for the drinking water.
The invention relates furthermore to a base device for a mixer tap, said base device comprising a separate outlet spout for discharging a separate fluid, such as pure water. The base device is characterised in that a variable clos ing means for the separate outlet spout is provided in connection with said tap, preferably at the end of the outlet spout. The resulting base device with the associated separate spout can be mounted in connection with existing mixer taps.
The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 illustrates a mixer tap according to the invention, Fig. 2 is a top view of a base device for the tap of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 illustrates a flow chart with filter and tap, in which the base device is included.
The single-handle mixer tap of Fig. 1 is of a conventional type and can for instance be of the type described in Danish Patent Application No. 333/92.
The mixer tap is mounted on a base device according to the invention. This base device is provided with a separate outlet spout 1 for discharging a separate fluid, such as pure water. Many countries are interested in having a separate outlet spout for water purified and filtered especially so as to be drinkable. The water for this separate spout can for instance be supplied through a pipe or hose connection extending upwards through the base 2.
In advance, the water can have passed a filter. The water is usually under pressure, possibly net pressure. Fig. 2 shows how the spout 1 can extend almost tangentially outwards from the side of the base 2. A pipe connection 6 extends from the outlet spout 1 through an opening in the base 2 and to the separate water supply.
A variable closing means 3 in form of a conventional valve unit is according to the invention provided at the end of the separate outlet spout 1. This variable closing means 3 is screwed into an opening in the spout 1 and 3 communicates with a turning handle with a projecting pin 7 for the adjust ment of the discharging through the valve unit. The discharging takes place through an opening 4. In this manner it is utilized that the valve unit does not take up much room and accordingly can be provided in the separate spout 1. Furthermore, the valve structure is kept completely separated from the remaining tap, which accordingly need not be particularly adapted for the purpose.
As an alternative, the closing means can be placed on another location on the base 2, because a cable 8 can be carried downwards by means of an up and downwardly displaceable handle 5 to a valve arranged at a distance from said base. The cable extends through a moulded body 9 arranged in the base 2, cf. Fig. 2.
This embodiment is particularly advantageous because it can be delivered as a spare part for existing taps not being provided with an extra spout for particular fluid. A further advantage is found in the fact that the separate outlet spout can be shaped without the integrated closing means.
Moreover, the base device can be used on locations needing hot water for coffee or cooking, i.e. hot water of a particularly high temperature. Then a hot water tank can be provided in connection with the separate water supply. Only small hot water tanks are necessary for this purpose.
Fig. 3 illustrates an example of how water is carried through a branch 11 from the ordinary cold water supply to a purifying plant 12, which in turn supplies purified water to a tap with a separate outlet spout for this water.
