Definitions

  • connection device for water fittings with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connection device for water fittings with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connection device is known from the document DE-A-37 23 828.
  • a one-piece rosette can be pushed onto a thickened part of the housing on the fitting.
  • this rosette can represent a not inconsiderable handicap in connection work.
  • a rosette or spherical hood for riser pipes for covering the passages in building ceilings.
  • a ring can be attached to the riser pipe, on which the hood can be held with two axial rods and a coil spring, the hood being pressed against the building ceiling by the coil spring.
  • This device is relatively complicated and requires a relatively large amount of space due to the helical spring.
  • use with pipelines entering at an angle to the building ceiling is likely to be problematic.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the wall cover for a connecting device with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the holder additionally offers the possibility of leading it radially out of the area of the cover rosette and providing it with a bracket for the storage of a hand shower etc.
  • the cover rosette can expediently be made of plastic, so that the insert part can also be manufactured inexpensively and with a precise fit.
  • relatively simple means enable the insertion part to be locked in the plug-in position in the rosette.
  • the connection device shown in Figure 2 is formed by a connector 1, a tap fitting 2, a rosette 3 and a holder 4.
  • the connector 1 is arranged in a building wall and connected to the supply pipes 11 for cold and hot water.
  • a pre-cut valve 12 is arranged for the cold and hot water.
  • the connector 1 can therefore be acted upon by the water pressure of the supply line network without the tap fitting having to be connected.
  • the connector 1 is usually installed in the building wall during the shell construction phase and at a later time when the building walls are plastered and tiled, tap fittings 2 are optionally connected after removing an installation template attached to the connector 1.
  • the tap 2 is inserted with a flange 22 in a receptacle 13 on the connector 1 with the interposition of a seal and tightly fixed with screws 23 which are screwed into threaded holes 14.
  • a rosette 3 which can be fastened to the tap fitting with a holder 4 is provided.
  • the holder 4 is constructed in the manner of a pipe clamp and in two parts, a ring 44 made of plastic being arranged between the holder 4 and the tap fitting 2, the lateral surface 441 of which is spherical, so that angular deviations between the axis of the tap fitting 2 and the building wall 5 can be compensated for.
  • a U-shaped hook 42 is formed, into which the other half can be hung with a meandering part 43, so that the holder 4 can be clamped on the tap fitting 2 with a clamping screw 41.
  • the holder 4 is guided radially out of the rosette 3 and has a storage bracket 45 for a hand shower in this area.
  • the keeper 4 is provided with radially protruding elements, such as storage brackets 45 and / or specially designed brackets 47, which come into contact with the surface of the building wall 5 when it is moved on the cylindrical housing and thus limit the displaceability.
  • the rosette 3 has corresponding recesses for receiving the above elements, so that a good seal with respect to the building wall 5 can be achieved with a sealing ring 35, for example made of foam rubber, but the introduction of harmful voltages for the rosette material is avoided.
  • the rosette 3 can be pushed radially over the housing of the tap fitting 2 with the aid of a radial slot 33.
  • a sealing ring 21 is slidably arranged on the housing of the tap fitting 2, onto which the rosette 3 with the radial slot 33 is pushed.
  • An insert 31 can then be inserted radially into the rosette 3 to seal the radial slot 33.
  • guides 32 are formed on the insert part 31 and the rosette 32 for holding purposes.
  • snap lugs (not shown in the drawing) can be formed on the rosette 3 and / or the insertion part 31 for latching.
  • the rosette 3 can be fastened to the holder 4 in threaded holes 46 with the screws 34 and brought into contact with the sealing ring 35 on the building wall 5, so that the opening 51 in the building wall 5 is covered tightly and in an appealing form, such as it can be seen in particular from FIG. 2 of the drawing.
