Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Betätigung eines heb- und senkbaren Ventilkegels eines Wannenablaufventils mit folgenden Merkmalen :

  • - ein Ventilgehäuse des Wannenablaufventils ist mit einem horizontalen, rechtwinklig und radial zur Ventilgehäuseachse verlaufenden Zulaufrohrstutzen versehen, an dem ein Überlaufrohr anschließbar ist,
  • - ein vom Wannenablaufventil entfernt liegender, insbesondere in einer Überlaufgarnitur der Wanne angeordneter Drehgriff ist mit einer Drehvorrichtung gekoppelt, an welcher ein Ende eines Bowdenzugseiles exzentrisch verankert ist,
  • - das andere Ende des Bowdenzugseiles ist an einem Schieber befestigt, der in einem geraden, exzentrisch zur Ventilgehäuseachse und außen am Ventilgehäuse angeordneten Führungsrohr verschiebbar gelagert ist,
  • - der Schieber ist formschlüssig mit einem Hebelarm verbunden, der an einer mit zwei Dichtungsringen versehenen Lagerwelle befestigt ist, welche in einem zylindrischen Lagergehäuse drehbar gelagert ist,
  • - die Achse des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses verläuft exzentrisch und rechtwinklig zur Ventilgehäuseachse sowie rechtwinklig zur Achse des Zulaufrohrstutzens und
  • - die Lagerwelle weist einen zur Ventilgehäuseachse ragenden Betätigungshebel auf.
The invention relates to a device for actuating a liftable and lowerable valve cone of a bath drain valve with the following features:
  • a valve housing of the tub drain valve is provided with a horizontal inlet pipe socket running at right angles and radially to the valve housing axis, to which an overflow pipe can be connected,
  • a turning handle located away from the tub drain valve, in particular arranged in an overflow set of the tub, is coupled to a turning device on which one end of a Bowden cable rope is anchored eccentrically,
  • the other end of the Bowden cable is attached to a slide which is slidably mounted in a straight guide tube arranged eccentrically to the valve housing axis and on the outside of the valve housing,
  • the slide is positively connected to a lever arm which is fastened to a bearing shaft provided with two sealing rings, which is rotatably mounted in a cylindrical bearing housing,
  • - The axis of the cylindrical bearing housing is eccentric and perpendicular to the valve housing axis and perpendicular to the axis of the inlet pipe socket and
  • - The bearing shaft has an actuating lever protruding toward the valve housing axis.

Bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung dieser Art (DE-A-25 49 723) hat der Betätigungshebel des Ventilkegels die Form eines geraden Stabes, der radial in eine Gewindebohrung der Lagerwelle eingeschraubt ist. Diese Gewindebohrung befindet sich etwa in der axialen Längsmitte der Lagerwelle, so daß sich die eine Hälfte der Lagerwelle und auch des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses auf der einen Seite der quer zur Achse des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses verlaufenden Mittelebene des Ventilkegels bzw. des Ventilkegelgehäuses befindet, während sich die andere Hälfte des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses und der La- gerv.'ciie auf der anderen Seite dieser Ebene erstreckt. Der Betätigungshebel, auf dem der Ventilkegel lose aufsitzt, kann daher erst in die Lagerwelle eingeschraubt werden, nach dem die Lagerwelle in das zylindrische Lagergehäuse eingeführt ist. Dazu ist es erforderlich, daß der Betätigungshebel entweder durch die untere Stirnöffnung des Ventilgehäuses oder aber durch den auf der dem zylindrischen Lagergehäuse diametral gegenüberliegenden Seite des Ventilgehäuses angeordneten horizontalen Zulaufrohrstutzen in die Gewindebohrung der Lagerwelle eingeführt wird. Diese Art der Montage ist zeitaufwendig und teuer. Zudem besteht die Gefahr, daß sich die Schraubverbindung des Betätigungshebels in der Lagerwelle löst. Die Lagerwelle ist mit einem Exzenter versehen, der durch eine Schraube mit einem quer zur Lagerwellenachse verschiebbaren und mit dem Bowdenzugseil verbundenen Gleitstück gelenkig verbunden ist. Auch diese Verbindung zwischen dem Exzenter und dem Gleitstück kann erst nach dem Einsetzen der Lagerwelle in das Lagergehäuse erfolgen.In a known device of this type (DE-A-25 49 723) the actuating lever of the valve cone has the shape of a straight rod which is screwed radially into a threaded bore of the bearing shaft. This threaded hole is located approximately in the axial longitudinal center of the bearing shaft, so that one half of the bearing shaft and also the cylindrical bearing housing is located on one side of the central plane of the valve cone or valve cone housing, which extends transversely to the axis of the cylindrical bearing housing, while the other Half of the cylindrical bearing housing and the Lager.'ciie extends on the other side of this plane. The actuating lever on which the valve cone is loosely seated can therefore only be screwed into the bearing shaft after the bearing shaft has been inserted into the cylindrical bearing housing. For this purpose, it is necessary that the actuating lever is inserted into the threaded bore of the bearing shaft either through the lower end opening of the valve housing or through the horizontal inlet pipe socket arranged on the side of the valve housing diametrically opposite the cylindrical bearing housing. This type of assembly is time consuming and expensive. In addition, there is a risk that the screw connection of the actuating lever in the bearing shaft comes loose. The bearing shaft is provided with an eccentric which is connected in an articulated manner by a screw to a slider which can be moved transversely to the axis of the bearing shaft and which is connected to the Bowden cable. This connection between the eccentric and the slider can only be made after inserting the bearing shaft into the bearing housing.

Es ist auch bereits eine Vorrichtung zur Betätigung eines Verschlußstopfens eines Wannenablaufs bekannt (DD-A-36 165), bei der ein Betätigungshebel drehfest auf einer Welle angeordnet ist, die durch einen Doppelseilzug in beiden Drehrichtungen um einen bestimmten Winkel gedreht werden kann.A device for actuating a sealing plug of a tub drain is also already known (DD-A-36 165), in which an actuating lever is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on a shaft which can be rotated through a double angle in both directions of rotation by a certain angle.

Die Welle und der Betätigungshebel sind als separate Einzelteile hergestellt und müssen in der Vorrichtung miteinander verbunden werden.The shaft and the operating lever are manufactured as separate individual parts and must be connected to one another in the device.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die mit geringeren Herstellungskosten herstellbar und insbesondere auch im Reparaturfall einfacher montierbar bzw. demontierbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which can be manufactured with lower manufacturing costs and in particular is easier to assemble or disassemble in the event of repair.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß

  • a) das zylindrische Lagergehäuse an der Au- ßenseite des Zulaufrohrstutzens angeordnet ist,
  • b) die Lagerwelle nur mit einem axialen Teilabschnitt, dessen Länge höchstens dem halben Innendurchmesser des Zulaufrohrstutzens entspricht, in eine in dem zylindrischen Lagergehäuse ausgebildete Lagerbohrung ragt und
  • c) der Betätigungshebel eine mindestens viertelkreisförmige Biegung aufweist und sich von der inneren Stirnseite der Lagerwelle zur Ventilgehäuseachse bzw. zur Ventilkegelachse erstreckt.
This object is achieved in that
  • a) the cylindrical bearing housing is arranged on the outside of the inlet pipe socket,
  • b) the bearing shaft protrudes only with an axial section, the length of which corresponds at most to half the inner diameter of the inlet pipe socket, into a bearing bore formed in the cylindrical bearing housing and
  • c) the actuating lever has an at least quarter-circular bend and extends from the inner end face of the bearing shaft to the valve housing axis or to the valve cone axis.

Dadurch ist es möglich, den mit der Lagerwelle fest verbundenen Betätigungshebel von aussen durch die Lagerbohrung in das Ventilgehäuse in seine funktionsgerechte Lage einzuführen und wenn nötig wieder auf dem selben Weg aus dem Ventilgehäuse herauszunehmen.This makes it possible to insert the actuating lever, which is firmly connected to the bearing shaft, from the outside through the bearing bore into the valve housing into its functional position and, if necessary, to take it out of the valve housing again in the same way.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Biegekrümmung des Betätigungshebels in einem Abstand von der inneren Stirnseite der Lagerwelle beginnt, der mindestens dem axialen Abstand der äußeren Stirnfläche des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses von der Innenfläche des Zulaufrohrstutzens entspricht, wobei es in diesem Zusammenhang zweckmäßig ist, die axiale Länge der Lagerbohrung etwa gleich groß auszubilden wie ihr Innendurchmesser.It is advantageous if the bending curvature of the actuating lever begins at a distance from the inner end face of the bearing shaft that corresponds at least to the axial distance of the outer end face of the cylindrical bearing housing from the inner surface of the inlet pipe socket, it being expedient in this context, the axial length form the bearing bore approximately the same size as its inner diameter.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmerkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen 3 bis 7.Further advantageous design features of the invention result from claims 3 to 7.

Anhand der Zeichnung wird nun im folgenden ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert. Es zeigt :

  • Figur 1 ein komplett montiertes Ablaufventil in teilweise geschnittener Darstellung,
  • Figur 2 einen Teilschnitt 11-11 aus Fig. 1,
  • Figur 3 einen Schnitt III-III aus Fig. 1 und
  • Figur4 die gleiche Schnittdarstellung wie Fig. 3 mit nur teilweise eingeführten Betätigungshebel.
An embodiment of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. It shows :
  • FIG. 1 shows a completely assembled drain valve in a partially sectioned illustration,
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial section 11-11 from FIG. 1,
  • Figure 3 shows a section III-III of Fig. 1 and
  • Figure4 shows the same sectional view as Fig. 3 with only partially inserted operating lever.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Wannenablaufventil besteht im wesentlichen aus einem rohrstückartigen Ventilgehäuse 1, das an seinem oberen Rand einen Stützflansch 2 aufweist und mittels eines Dichtungsringes 3 an der Unterseite eines Wannenbodens 4 in bekannter Weise befestigt wird. In eine Montageöffnung 5 des an dieser Stelle eingesenkten Wannenbodens 4 ist von der Oberseite ein Ventilsitzteller 6, dessen Flansch 7 dichtend an einem Vertiefungsrand 8 des Wannenbodens 4 anliegt. Der Ventilsitzteller 6 weist einen gelochten Boden 9 auf und ist mittels einer zentral angeordneten, auf der Außenseite mit einem Schraubgewinde 10 versehenen Hohlnabe 11 mit einer Gewindenabe 12 des Ventilgehäuses 1 verbunden. Die Gewindenabe 12 ist koaxial zur Ventilgehäuseachse 13 angeordnet und durch Speichen 14 mit der im wesentlichen zylindrischen Wandung des Ventilgehäuses 1 verbunden. Der Ventilsitzteller 6 hat eine innere konische Ringsitzfläche 15 für den Dichtungsring 16 eines tellerförmigen Ventilkegels 17. Der Ventilkegell7 ist mittels eines zentrischen Zapfens 18 frei axial beweglich geführt. Als koaxiale, nach unten gerichtete Verlängerung ist der Zapfen 18 mit einer Stellschraube 19 versehen, deren Kopf lose auf einem Betätigungshebel 20 aufsitzt. Der Betätigungshebel 20 weist eine mindestens viertelkreisförmige Biegung auf und erstreckt sich von der inneren Stirnseite 21 einer Lagerwelle 22 zur Ventilgehäuseachse 13 bzw. zur Ventilkegelachse. Die Lagerwelle 22 ist in einer Lagerbohrung 24 drehbar gelagert und mit zwei in Ringnuten 25 untergebrachten O-Ringen 26 versehen.The tub drain valve shown in the drawing consists essentially of a tubular valve housing 1, which has a support flange 2 at its upper edge and is fastened in a known manner by means of a sealing ring 3 to the underside of a tub bottom 4. In a mounting opening 5 of the trough base 4 recessed at this point is a valve seat plate 6 from the top, the flange 7 of which lies sealingly against a recess edge 8 of the trough base 4. The valve seat plate 6 has a perforated base 9 and is connected to a threaded hub 12 of the valve housing 1 by means of a centrally arranged hollow hub 11 provided on the outside with a screw thread 10. The threaded hub 12 is arranged coaxially to the valve housing axis 13 and connected by spokes 14 to the essentially cylindrical wall of the valve housing 1. The valve seat plate 6 has an inner conical ring seat surface 15 for the sealing ring 16 of a plate-shaped valve cone 17. The valve cone 7 is guided in a freely axially movable manner by means of a central pin 18. As a coaxial, downward extension, the pin 18 is provided with an adjusting screw 19, the head of which is loosely seated on an actuating lever 20. The actuating lever 20 has an at least quarter-circular bend and extends from the inner end face 21 of a bearing shaft 22 to the valve housing axis 13 or to the valve cone axis. The bearing shaft 22 is rotatably supported in a bearing bore 24 and provided with two O-rings 26 accommodated in ring grooves 25.

Legt man die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Einbaulage des Ablaufventils zugrunde, so verläuft die Ventilgehäuseachse 13 stets vertikal. Es ist auch aus der Zeichnung zu erkennen, daß, auf diese Einbaulage bezogen, die Achse 27 der Lagerbohrung 24 horizontal verläuft (Fig. 2). Die Lagerbohrung 24 ist in einem kurzen zylindrischen Lagergehäuse 28 angeordnet, das an der Außenseite eines bei solchen Ablaufventilen üblicherweise vorhandenen Zulaufrohrstutzens29 angeformt ist. Dieser Zulaufrohrstutzen 29 dient zum Anschluß eines Überlaufrohres und ist in einer Horizontallage so angeordnet, daß seine Achse 30 im bezug auf die Ventilgehäuseachse 13 radial verläuft.If the installation position of the drain valve shown in FIG. 1 is taken as a basis, the valve housing axis 13 always runs vertically. It can also be seen from the drawing that, in relation to this installation position, the axis 27 of the bearing bore 24 runs horizontally (FIG. 2). The bearing bore 24 is arranged in a short cylindrical bearing housing 28 which is formed on the outside of an inlet pipe socket 29 which is usually present in such drain valves. This inlet pipe socket 29 is used to connect an overflow pipe and is arranged in a horizontal position so that its axis 30 extends radially with respect to the valve housing axis 13.

Die auf der äußeren Stirnseite 31 des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses 28 offene zylindrische Lagerbohrung 24 endet an einer radialen Ringschulter32 (Fig. 4), die den Übergang zu einer Durchsteckbohrung 33 in der Wandung des zulaufrohrstutzens 29 bildet. Die Durchsteckbohrung 33 hat einen kleineren Durchmesser als die Lagerbohrung 24. Im vorliegenden Fall dient die Ringschulter 32 als Axialanschlag für die Lagerwelle 22, die etwa einen doppelt so großen Durchmesser hat wie der Betätigungshebel 20 dick ist. Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, befindet sich das zylindrische Lagergehäuse 28 mit der Lagerbohrung 24 in der unteren Hälfte des Zulaufrohrstutzens 29 derart, daß sich die Achse 27 der Lagerbohrung 24 etwa in einer Höhe befindet, die zwischen der unteren Schließstellung der Stellschraube 19 des Ventilkegels 17 und deren oberen, in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Öffnungsstellung liegt. Die untere Schließstellung der Stellschraube 19 des Ventilkegels 17 ist durch die strichpunktiert eingezeichnete untere Schwenklage des Betätigungshebels 20 in Fig. 1 dargestellt.The cylindrical bearing bore 24, which is open on the outer end face 31 of the cylindrical bearing housing 28, ends at a radial annular shoulder 32 (FIG. 4), which forms the transition to a push-through bore 33 in the wall of the inlet pipe socket 29. The through hole 33 has a smaller diameter than the bearing bore 24. In the present case, the annular shoulder 32 serves as an axial stop for the bearing shaft 22, which has a diameter which is approximately twice as large as the actuating lever 20 is thick. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the cylindrical bearing housing 28 with the bearing bore 24 is located in the lower half of the inlet pipe socket 29 such that the axis 27 of the bearing bore 24 is approximately at a height between the lower closed position of the Set screw 19 of the valve cone 17 and the upper opening position shown in FIG. 1. The lower closed position of the adjusting screw 19 of the valve cone 17 is shown in FIG. 1 by the lower pivot position of the actuating lever 20, which is shown in dash-dot lines.

Die Lagerwelle 22 sitzt mit einem kurzen Abschnitt in der Lagerbohrung 24. Der axiale Abstand b zwischen der äußeren Stirnfläche 31 des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses 28 und der Innenfläche34 des Zuiaufrohrstutzens 29 entspricht einer Länge, die kleiner ist als der halbe Innendurchmesser D des Zulaufrohrstutzens 29. Die Biegekrümmung des Betätigungshebels 20 beginnt an dem mit der Lagerwelle 22 verbundenen Schenkel in einem Abstand a von der inneren Stirnfläche 21 der Lagerwelle 22, der mindestens annähernd dem axialen Abstand b der äußeren Stirnfläche 31 des zylindrischen Lagergehäuses 28 von der Innenfläche 34 des Zulaufrohrstutzens 29 entspricht. Der Betätigungshebel 20 weist im gekrümmten Bereich einen Biegeradius R auf, der etwa halb so groß ist wie der Innendurchmesser D des Zulaufrohrstutzens 29. Die drehsichere Verbindung zwischen dem Betätigungshebel 20 und der Lagerwelle 22 ist dadurch hergestellt, daß der eine Schenkel des Betätigungshebels 20 in eine zentrale Sackbohrung 35 eingelötet ist. Denkbar wäre auch, den Betätigungshebel 20 aus einem Stück mit der Lagerwelle 22 herzustellen, oder mit der Lagerwelle 22 zu verschrauben.The bearing shaft 22 sits with a short section in the bearing bore 24. The axial distance b between the outer end face 31 of the cylindrical bearing housing 28 and the inner surface 34 of the inlet pipe socket 29 corresponds to a length which is less than half the inner diameter D of the inlet pipe socket 29. The bending curvature of the actuating lever 20 begins at the leg connected to the bearing shaft 22 at a distance a from the inner end face 21 of the bearing shaft 22 which corresponds at least approximately to the axial distance b of the outer end face 31 of the cylindrical bearing housing 28 from the inner surface 34 of the inlet pipe socket 29. The actuating lever 20 has a bending radius R in the curved region, which is approximately half as large as the inner diameter D of the inlet pipe socket 29. The rotationally secure connection between the actuating lever 20 and the bearing shaft 22 is established in that one leg of the actuating lever 20 into one central blind hole 35 is soldered. It would also be conceivable to manufacture the actuating lever 20 in one piece with the bearing shaft 22, or to screw it to the bearing shaft 22.

Der fest mit der Lagerwelle 22 verbundene Betätigungshebel 20 läßt sich durch die Lagerbohrung 24 und die Durchsteckbohrung 33 von außen in das Ventilgehäuse 1 in seine funktionsgerechte Lage einführen, wobei nacheinander die Einführpositionen A und B erreicht werden (vgl. Fig. 4) und aus der EInführposition B noch eine Axialverschiebung in Richtung des Pfeiles 36 durchzuführen ist, um die Lagerwelle 22 in die Lagerbohrung 24 einzuführen, damit der Betätigungshebel 20 die in Fig. dargestellte Lage einnimmt. In umgekehrter Bewegungsrichtung wird der Betätigungshebel 20 im Reparaturfall aus dem Ventilgehäuse 1 herausgenommen.The actuating lever 20 firmly connected to the bearing shaft 22 can be inserted through the bearing bore 24 and the through bore 33 from the outside into the valve housing 1 into its functional position, the insertion positions A and B being reached one after the other (see FIG. 4) and from the An insertion position B is still to be carried out axially in the direction of arrow 36 in order to insert the bearing shaft 22 into the bearing bore 24 so that the actuating lever 20 assumes the position shown in FIG. In the opposite direction of movement, the actuating lever 20 is removed from the valve housing 1 in the event of a repair.

Um den Ventilkegel 17 durch Verschwenken des Betätigungshebels 20 bzw. durch Drehen der Lagerwelle 22 zwischen seinen beiden Funktionsstellungen mittels einer Fernbetätigungseinrichtung heben und senken zu können, ist der aus der Lagerbohrung 24 herausragende Teil der Lagerwelle 22 mit einem stabförmigen Hebelarm 37 versehen. Dieser Hebelarm 37 ist in eine mit einem Innengewinde versehene durchgehende Querbohrung 38 eingeschraubt und ragt mit seinem freien halbkugelförmig abgerundeten Ende 39 in eine teils konische und teils kalottenförmig ausgebildete Ausnehmung 40 eines Schiebers 41. Der Schieber 41 ist axial beweglich in einem Führungsrohr 42 gelagert, das neben dem Zulaufrohrstutzen 29, parallel zu diesem und somit quer zur Lagerbohrung 24 verlaufend in einem Abstand über dem aus der Lagerbohrung24 herausragenden Teil der Lagerwelle 22 angeordnet ist. Auf seiner Unterseite ist das Führungsrohr 42 mit einer sich axial erstreckenden Schlitzöffnung 43 versehen, durch welchen der Hebelarm 37 hindurch in die Ausnehmung 40 des Schiebers 41 ragt. An seinem einen Ende besitzt das Führungsrohr 42 eine muffenartige, mit einem Innengewinde versehene Erweiterung 44, in welcher mittels einer Gewindebuchse 45 ein Endstück 46 eines Bowdenzuges befestigt ist, dessen Zugseil 47 mittels eines Nippels 48 formschlüssig mit dem Schieber 41 verbunden ist. Über diesen Bowdenzug steht der Schieber 41 mit einer nicht dargestellten, vorzugsweise in einer Überlaufgarnitur der Wanne angeordneten Drehvorrichtung in Verbindung, durch deren Betätigung der Schieber 41 in Längsrichtung des Führungsrohres 42 bewegt werden kann. Diese Axialbewegungen des Schiebers 41 werden über den Hebelarm 37 in Schwenkbewegungen der Lagerwelle 22 und des Betätigungshebels 20 umgewandelt, die ihrerseits zu einem heben und senken des Ventilkegels 17 führen.In order to be able to raise and lower the valve cone 17 by pivoting the actuating lever 20 or by rotating the bearing shaft 22 between its two functional positions by means of a remote control device, the part of the bearing shaft 22 protruding from the bearing bore 24 is provided with a rod-shaped lever arm 37. This lever arm 37 is screwed into a through bore 38 provided with an internal thread and, with its free hemispherical rounded end 39, projects into a partially conical and partially spherical recess 40 Slider 41. The slider 41 is axially movably mounted in a guide tube 42 which is arranged next to the inlet pipe socket 29, parallel to it and thus transverse to the bearing bore 24 at a distance above the part of the bearing shaft 22 protruding from the bearing bore 24. On its underside, the guide tube 42 is provided with an axially extending slot opening 43, through which the lever arm 37 projects into the recess 40 of the slide 41. At one end, the guide tube 42 has a sleeve-like, internally threaded extension 44, in which an end piece 46 of a Bowden cable is fastened by means of a threaded bush 45, the pull cable 47 of which is positively connected to the slider 41 by means of a nipple 48. Via this Bowden cable, the slide 41 is connected to a rotary device (not shown), which is preferably arranged in an overflow set of the tub, by the actuation of which the slide 41 can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the guide tube 42. These axial movements of the slide 41 are converted via the lever arm 37 into pivoting movements of the bearing shaft 22 and the actuating lever 20, which in turn lead to a lifting and lowering of the valve cone 17.

Da der Hebelarm 37 einerseits in der Schlitzöffnung 43 des Führungsrohres 42 und andererseits in der Ausnehmung 40 des Schiebers 41 geführt ist, zugleich die Lagerwelle 22 in deren Lagerbohrung 24 gegen Axialverschiebung in beiden Richtungen gesichert ist, so daß die Ringschulter 32 nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist und die Durchsteckbohrung 33 den gleichen Durchmesser haben kann wie die Lagerbohrung 24. Es sind somit keine besonderen Vorkehrungen und Mittel zur Sicherung der Lagerwelle 22 gegen Axialverschiebung erforderlich. Der Hebelarm 37 kann bei der Montage nach dem Einsetzen der Lagerwelle 22 in die Lagerbohrung 24 in die Querbohrung 38 von unten eingeschraubt werden, bzw. bei der Demontage zuerst aus der Querbohrung 38 herausgeschraubt werden.Since the lever arm 37 is guided on the one hand in the slot opening 43 of the guide tube 42 and on the other hand in the recess 40 of the slide 41, at the same time the bearing shaft 22 is secured in its bearing bore 24 against axial displacement in both directions, so that the annular shoulder 32 is not absolutely necessary and the push-through bore 33 can have the same diameter as the bearing bore 24. No special precautions and means for securing the bearing shaft 22 against axial displacement are therefore required. The lever arm 37 can be screwed into the transverse bore 38 from below during assembly after the bearing shaft 22 has been inserted into the bearing bore 24, or can first be unscrewed from the transverse bore 38 during disassembly.
