Abstract

An outlet fitting for sinks, wash-stands, bath-stands, bath-tubs and similar sanitary appliances comprises an outlet cup supported in a outlet hole. The closure element for the outlet hole is a plunger consisting of a guide element and a plunger head which can be moved longitudinally by means of a plunger rod. The upper rim region of the outlet cup forms a sealing collar for the plunger head in its closed position. To facilitate cleaning and improve the appearance of the sanitary appliance, the upper rim region (14) of the outlet cup (12), which forms a seat (13), is inserted into the wall of the appliance (10) in the outlet hole (11) to a depth such that the surface of the plunger head (15) in its open position is coplanar with the upper rim of the outlet hole (11). To mask the upper rim region (14) of the oulet cup (12) located inside the oulet hole (11), the diameter of the plunger head (15) is at least equal to the largest diameter of the upper rim region (14) of the outlet cup (12).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ablaufgarnitur eines sanitären Apparates, wie Spülbecken, Waschtisch, Badewanne oder dergleichen)mit einem in einem Ablaufloch gehalterten Ablaufkelch, in welchem ein aus einem Führungselement und einem Plungerkopf als Verschlußglied für das Ablaufloch bestehender Plunger längsbeweglich über eine Plungerstange verschiebbar ist, wobei der obere Randbereich des Ablaufkelches einen Dichtkragen für den Plungerkopf in dessen Schließstellung ausbildet, und wobei der Durchmesser des Plungerkopfes mindestens so groß ist wie der größte Durchmesser des oberen Randbereiches des Ablaufkelches.The invention relates to a drain fitting of a sanitary apparatus, such as a sink, wash basin, bath tub or the like) with a drain cup held in a drain hole, in which a plunger consisting of a guide element and a plunger head as a closure member for the drain hole can be moved longitudinally via a plunger rod, whereby the upper edge area of the drain cup forms a sealing collar for the plunger head in its closed position, and the diameter of the plunger head is at least as large as the largest diameter of the upper edge area of the drain cup.

Eine Ablaufgarnitur mit den vorgenannten Merkmalen ergibt sich aus der FR-A-2 600 692; die darin ohne Zuordnung zu einem sanitären Apparat beschriebene Ablaufgarnitur hat einen Plungerkopf, der gegenüber dem oberen Randbereich des Ablaufkelches zwischen einer Schließstellung und einer Öffnungsstellung verschiebbar ist, wobei der Durchmesser des Plungerkopfes gleich groß oder größer ist wie der Durchmesser des oberen Randbereiches des Ablaufkelches. Da somit die Wassereintrittsöffnung bei geöffneter Ablaufgarnitur peripher zwischen dem Plungerkopf und dem darunter liegenden Randbereich des Ablaufkelches angeordnet ist, muß der Plungerkopf um ein entsprechendes Maß über den Randbereich des Ablaufkelches hervorstehen, um einen ausreichenden Wasserdurchfluß zu gewährleisten. Damit ergibt sich das Problem, daß beim Einsetzen einer bekannten Ablaufgarnitur in das Ablaufloch eines sanitären Apparates wie Spülbecken, Waschtisch, Badewanne oder dergleichen der Plungerkopf in der geöffneten Stellung der Ablaufgarnitur über den oberen Randbereich des Ablaufkelches in den sanitären Apparat hineinragt.A waste set with the aforementioned features results from FR-A-2 600 692; the drain fitting described therein without assignment to a sanitary apparatus has a plunger head which can be displaced between a closed position and an open position with respect to the upper edge region of the drain bowl, the diameter of the plunger head being equal to or larger than the diameter of the upper edge area of the drain bowl. There thus the water inlet opening with the drain set open is arranged peripherally between the plunger head and the underlying edge area of the drain goblet, the plunger head must protrude by a corresponding amount over the edge area of the drain goblet to ensure sufficient water flow. This results in the problem that when a known drain fitting is inserted into the drain hole of a sanitary apparatus such as a sink, wash basin, bath tub or the like, the plunger head in the open position of the drain fitting projects into the sanitary apparatus via the upper edge region of the drain goblet.

In der EP-A-0 081 048 ist eine in ein Ablaufloch eines sanitären Apparates eingesetzte Ablaufgarnitur beschrieben, bei welcher der Plungerkopf in der Öffnungsstellung ebenfalls in den sanitären Apparat hineinragt.EP-A-0 081 048 describes a drain fitting inserted into a drain hole in a sanitary apparatus, in which the plunger head also projects into the sanitary apparatus in the open position.

Mit dem bei den bekannten Ablaufgarnituren gegebenen Hineinragen des Plungerkopfes in den sanitären Apparat ist der Nachteil verbunden, daß bei einer Reinigung des sanitären Apparates durch Auswischen des Beckens der Plungerkopf ein Hindernis bildet, welches die einfache Reinigung hemmt.The disadvantage of the plunger head protruding into the sanitary apparatus given the known drain fittings is that when the sanitary apparatus is cleaned by wiping the basin, the plunger head forms an obstacle which inhibits simple cleaning.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Anordnung besteht darin, daß insbesondere bei der Ausbildung des sanitären Apparates aus farbigem keramischen Material die in der Regel aus verchromten oder andersfarbigen Teilen bestehende Ablaufgarnitur einen optischen Bruch bei der Gestaltung des Gesamtgegenstandes bildet; dies betrifft insbesondere den Plungerkopf und den Dichtkragen des Ablaufkelches.Another disadvantage of the known arrangement is that, in particular when the sanitary apparatus is made of colored ceramic material, the drain fitting, which generally consists of chromed or differently colored parts, forms an optical break in the design of the overall object; this applies in particular to the plunger head and the sealing collar of the drain cup.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Ablaufgarnitur derart zu verbessern, daß die Reinigung des sanitären Apparates insbesondere im Bereich seines Ablaufloches erleichtert und effektiv durchführbar und die optische Gestaltung der in das Ablaufloch eingesetzten Ablaufgarnitur verbessert ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a generic waste set in such a way that cleaning of the sanitary apparatus, in particular in the region of its drain hole, is facilitated and can be carried out effectively and the optical design of the waste set inserted in the drain hole is improved.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus dem Hauptanspruch; vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The solution to this problem results from the main claim; advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung beinhaltet den Grundgedanken, daß der als Sitz ausgebildete obere Randbereich des Ablaufkelches im Ablaufloch so tief in die Wandung des Apparates hineinverlegt ist, daß die Oberfläche des Plungerkopfes in dessen Öffnungsstellung mit dem oberen Rand des Ablaufloches eine Ebene ausbildet und in der Schließstellung der Ablaufgarnitur der Plungerkopf um das Maß seiner Verschiebbarkeit gegenüber dem oberen Rand des Ablaufloches abgesenkt ist.The invention includes the basic idea that the upper edge region of the drain cup, which is designed as a seat, is so deeply inserted into the wall of the apparatus in the drain hole that the surface of the plunger head forms a plane with the upper edge of the drain hole in its open position and in the closed position of the drain fitting the plunger head is lowered by the amount of its displaceability relative to the upper edge of the drain hole.

Aus dem DE-GM 84 11 981 ist bereits eine Ablaufgarnitur für ein dünnwandiges Spülbecken aus Metall oder Kuriststoff bekannt, bei welchem die Oberfläche des Plüngerkopfes in dessen Öffnungsstellung mit dem oberen Rand des Ablaufloches eine Ebene ausbildet. Hierzu ist jedoch der mit dem Plungerkopf in der Schließstellung der Garnitur zusammenwirkende Dichtkragen in das Innere des Ablaufkelches verlegt, so daß der Plungerkopf beim Schließen der Ablaufgarnitur in den Ablaufkelch bis zur Anlage an einem im Ablaufkelch gesondert ausgebildeten Dichtkragen eintaucht. Hiermit ist der Nachteil verbunden, daß der Ablaufkelch eine besondere und komplizierte Formgebung aufweisen muß, weil er einerseits eine obere Halterung in dem Ablaufloch des Spülbeckensaufweisen und andererseits in seinem Inneren eine zusätzliche Dichtgestaltung zum Zusammenwirken mit dem Plungerkopf aufweisen muß. Als weiterer Nachteil kommt hinzu, daß sowohl in der offenen, insbesondere jedoch auch in der geschlossenen Stellung der Ablaufgarnitur der Ablaufkelch deutlich sichtbar ist, so daß sich ein optischer Bruch bei der Gestaltung des sanitären Apparates ergibt.From DE-GM 84 11 981, a drain set for a thin-walled sink made of metal or Kuriststoff is already known, in which the surface of the plastering head in its open position forms a plane with the upper edge of the drain hole. For this purpose, however, the sealing collar cooperating with the plunger head in the closed position of the set is moved into the interior of the drain cup, so that when the drain set is closed, the plunger head is immersed in the drain cup until it rests on a sealing collar specially formed in the drain cup. This has the disadvantage that the goblet must have a special and complicated shape, because on the one hand it has an upper holder in the drain hole of the sink and on the other hand it has to have an additional sealing design in its interior to interact with the plunger head. Another disadvantage is that the drain goblet is clearly visible both in the open, but especially in the closed position of the drain fitting, so that there is an optical break in the design of the sanitary apparatus.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Gestaltung ist dagegen der Vorteil verbunden, daß zunächst der Plunger in der Öffnungsstellung nicht mehr in das Becken des sanitären Apparates hineinragt und hinderlich ist, sondern mit der Beckenkontur eine Linie bildet, so daß das Auswischen des Beckens leicht und ohne Behinderung erfolgen kann. In geschlossenem Zustand sinkt der Plungerkopf um das Maß der Verschiebbarkeit des Plungerkopfes bis zur Anlage auf dem in das Ablaufloch eingesenkten oberen Randbereich des Ablaufkelches als Dichtkragen ab, wobei die Abmessung von Plungerkopf und Ablaufkelch einerseits und der obere Durchmesser des Ablaufloches in Verbindung mit der Wandstärke des sanitären Apparates andererseits so aufeinander abgestimmt sind, daß sich bei geöffnetem Plunger ein ausreichender Ringspalt für den Abfluß des Wassers ergibt. Da gleichzeitig erfindungsgemäß der Durchmesser des Plungerkopfes mindestens so groß ist wie der größte Durchmesser des oberen Randbereiches des Ablaufkelches, verdeckt der Plungerkopf sowohl in der geöffneten als auch in der geschlossenen Stellung den oberen Randbereich bzw. den Dichtkragen des Ablaufkelches, so daß sich eine optische Einheit in der Draufsicht auf den sanitären Apparat ergibt. Damit kann in vorteilhafter Weise der Ablaufkelch in herkämmlicher Ausführung verchromt sein und somit als relativ preiswerter Massenartikel zum Einsatz kommen.In contrast, the design according to the invention has the advantage that the plunger in the Open position no longer protrudes into the basin of the sanitary apparatus and is a hindrance, but forms a line with the basin contour so that the basin can be wiped out easily and without obstruction. In the closed state, the plunger head drops by the amount of displaceability of the plunger head until it rests on the upper edge region of the drain cup, which is countersunk in the drain hole, as a sealing collar, the dimensions of the plunger head and drain cup on the one hand and the upper diameter of the drain hole in conjunction with the wall thickness of the sanitary apparatuses, on the other hand, are coordinated with one another in such a way that when the plunger is open there is a sufficient annular gap for the outflow of the water. Since at the same time according to the invention the diameter of the plunger head is at least as large as the largest diameter of the upper edge region of the drain goblet, the plunger head covers the upper edge region or the sealing collar of the drain goblet both in the open and in the closed position, so that there is an optical unit in the top view of the sanitary apparatus. This means that the drain cup can be chrome-plated in a conventional design and can therefore be used as a relatively inexpensive mass-produced item.

Soweit nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung der Plungerkopf aus dem gleichen Material ausgebildet ist wie der sanitäre Apparat, bedeutet die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der Ablaufgarnitur eine Verbesserung der Optik nicht nur im Hinblick auf eine harmonische Linienführung sondern auch im Hinblick auf die Gesamteinsicht, weil nun auch der Plungerkopf aus dem gleichen Material ausgebildet sich in das Gefüge lediglich unter Freilassen des Ringspaltes für den Wasserabfluß optisch sauber einpaßt.Insofar as the plunger head is made of the same material as the sanitary apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention, the arrangement of the drain fitting according to the invention means an improvement in the appearance not only with regard to harmonious lines but also with regard to the overall view, because now the plunger head made of the same material, it fits into the structure optically clean only by leaving the annular gap for the water drainage.

Vorteilhaft nach der Erfindung ist es dabei, die Oberfläche des Plungerkopfes der Linienführung der Beckenkontur des sanitären Apparates im Bereich des Ablaufloches anzupassen, so daß die Oberfläche des Plungerkopfes nicht unbedingt eben zu sein braucht. Bei einer konvexen Ausbildung der Oberfläche des Plungerkopfes, wie sie sich aus dem Stand der Technik häufig entnehmen läßt, ist dafür Sorge zu tragen, daß die oberste Teilfläche des Plungerkopfes sich in die Beckenebene einpaßt. Vorteilhaft läßt sich die Erfindung auch verwirklichen, wenn der Plungerkopf in einer aus der FR 1 296 040 bereits ergebenden Weise als eine Scheibe mit parallelen Ebenen ausgebildet ist; schließlich kann die Oberfläche des Plungerkopfes nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung auch konkav ausgebildet sein als Fortführung der Linienführung der Beckenwandung im Bereich der Ablaufgarnitur, wie sich dies grundsätzlich aus der GB 426 851 ergibt.It is advantageous according to the invention to adapt the surface of the plunger head to the lines of the basin contour of the sanitary apparatus in the region of the drain hole, so that the surface of the plunger head need not necessarily be flat. If the surface of the plunger head is convex, as can often be seen from the prior art, care must be taken that the uppermost partial surface of the plunger head fits into the basin level. The invention can also be advantageously implemented if the plunger head is designed as a disk with parallel planes in a manner already resulting from FR 1 296 040; finally, the surface of the plunger head can, according to one embodiment of the invention, also be designed to be concave as a continuation of the lines of the pool wall in the area of the drain fitting, as is basically the case in GB 426 851.

Bei der Verwirklichung der Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der äußere Rand des Plungerkopfes und der obere Rand des Ablaufloches in Übereinstimmung mit der äußeren Kontur oder der inneren Kontur des oberen Beckenrandes des sanitären Apparates gestaltet sind, so daß sich in der Draufsicht eine in etwa parallele Linienführung der zugeordneten Begrenzungslinien von Plungerkopf und Beckenrand ergibt, wodurch der optische Gesamteindruck verbessert ist.In the implementation of the invention, it is advantageous if the outer edge of the plunger head and the upper edge of the drain hole are designed in accordance with the outer contour or the inner contour of the upper edge of the basin of the sanitary apparatus, so that there is an approximately parallel top view Lines of the assigned boundary lines of the plunger head and pool edge result, whereby the overall visual impression is improved.

Die Erfindung läßt sich ebenfalls vorteilhaft dadurch verwirklichen, daß der in Formgebung, Farbe und Material der Erfindung entsprechende Plungerkopf als separates Bauteil ausgebildet und mit dem Kopf eines herkömmlichen Plungers verbindbar ist, wobei lediglich der den Dichtkragen bildende obere Rand des Ablaufkelches in seiner Lage die Gesamtabmessung des aus dem herkömmlichen Plungerkopf und dem erfindungsgemäßen Plungerkopf zusammengesetzten Plungerkopfes zu berücksichtigen hat. Zweckmäßig ist der erfindungsgemäße Plungerkopf in einer lösbaren Rastverbindung mit dem herkömmlichen Plungerkopf zu verbinden.The invention can also be advantageously realized in that the plunger head corresponding to the shape, color and material of the invention is designed as a separate component and can be connected to the head of a conventional plunger, with only the upper edge of the drainage cup forming the sealing collar in its Position has to take into account the overall dimension of the plunger head composed of the conventional plunger head and the plunger head according to the invention. The plunger head according to the invention is expediently to be connected to the conventional plunger head in a releasable snap-in connection.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wiedergegeben, welches nachstehend beschrieben ist. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 einen Waschtisch im Schnitt bei geöffneter Stellung der Ablaufgarnitur,
  • Figur 2 den Gegenstand der Figur 1 bei geschlossenem Plunger,
  • Figur 3 einen Waschtisch in einer Draufsicht.
In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown, which is described below. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a wash basin in section with the drain set open,
  • FIG. 2 shows the subject of FIG. 1 with the plunger closed,
  • Figure 3 shows a washstand in a plan view.

In einem als Beispiel für die Anordnung einer erfindungsgemäßen Ablaufgarnitur herangezogenen Waschtisch 10 aus Sanitärkeramik ist ein Ablaufloch 11 ausgebildet, in welches ein Ablaufkelch 12 mit einer Sitzfläche 13 wasserdicht eingesetzt ist. Der innenseitige obere Randbereich 14 des Ablaufkelches 12 läuft konisch zu und bildet einen Dichtkragen für einen Plungerkopf 15 eines Plungers 16 aus, der über ein Führungselement 17 in dem Ablaufkelch 12 längsbeweglich angeordnet und mit einer Plungerstange 18 verbunden ist, über welche die Längsbewegung des Führungselementes 17 zwischen der Öffnungsstellung des Plungerkopfes 15 und dessen Schließstellung mit Hilfe einer Zugstange 22 herbeigeführt wird. Eine an der Unterseite des Plungerkopfes 15 vorgesehene Ringdichtung 19 sorgt in der Schließstellung des Plungerkopfes 15 für ein dichtendes Aufsitzen des Plungerkopfes auf dem Dichtkragen 14 des Ablaufkelches 12.In a wash basin 10 made of sanitary ceramics used as an example for the arrangement of a drain fitting according to the invention, a drain hole 11 is formed, in which a drain cup 12 with a seat surface 13 is inserted in a watertight manner. The inside upper edge region 14 of the drain cup 12 tapers conically and forms a sealing collar for a plunger head 15 of a plunger 16, which is arranged to be longitudinally movable via a guide element 17 in the drain cup 12 and is connected to a plunger rod 18, via which the longitudinal movement of the guide element 17 is brought between the open position of the plunger head 15 and its closed position with the aid of a pull rod 22. An annular seal 19 provided on the underside of the plunger head 15 ensures in the closed position of the plunger head 15 that the plunger head rests on the sealing collar 14 of the drainage cup 12 in a sealing manner.

Wie sich aus der Figur 1 im einzelnen entnehmen läßt, bildet die Oberfläche des bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als ebene Scheibe ausgebildeten Plungerkopfes 15 mit der Wandung des Waschtisches 10 eine Ebene aus, und am Boden des Waschtisches 10 verbleibt ein Ringspalt 20, durch welchen das Wasser in den Ablaufkelch 12 eintreten kann.As can be seen in detail from FIG. 1, the surface of the plunger head 15, which is designed as a flat disk in the exemplary embodiment shown, forms a plane with the wall of the washstand 10, and an annular gap 20 through which the water remains remains at the bottom of the washstand 10 can enter the goblet 12.

Die Figur 2 zeigt demzufolge die Schließstellung des Plungerkopfes 15, bei welcher dieser in das Ablaufloch 11 bis zum Aufsitzen auf dem Dichtkragen 14 eingesunken ist. Es versteht sich, daß der Rand 21 des Ablaufloches 11 des Scherbens glasiert sein muß, um eine einwandfreie Optik in den Stellungen des Plungers 16 zu bieten. In diesem Zusammenhang ist von besonderer Bedeutung, daß auch der Plungerkopf 15 aus Keramik besteht, in der Farbe des Waschtisches 10 glasiert ist und einen Durchmesser aufweist, der mindestens dem größten Durchmesser des oberen Randbereiches 14 des Ablaufkelches 12 entspricht, der somit praktisch unsichtbar ist.FIG. 2 accordingly shows the closed position of the plunger head 15, in which the plunger head has sunk into the drain hole 11 until it sits on the sealing collar 14. It goes without saying that the edge 21 of the drain hole 11 of the body must be glazed in order to provide a perfect appearance in the positions of the plunger 16. In this context, it is of particular importance that the plunger head 15 is made of ceramic, is glazed in the color of the washbasin 10 and has a diameter that corresponds at least to the largest diameter of the upper edge region 14 of the drain bowl 12, which is therefore practically invisible.

Die Figur 3 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, bei welchem der äußere Rand 22 des Plungerkopfes 15 und der obere Rand des Ablaufkelches 11 in Übereinstimmung mit der äußeren Kontur 23 oder der inneren Kontur 24 des oberen Beckenrandes des sanitären Apparates 10 ausgestaltet ist. Damit wird eine in sich parallele Linienführung zwischen den Bauteilen erreicht, die das optische Bild des sanitären Apparates sehr verbessert. In Abweichung von dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel kann auch die äußere Kontur 23 des oberen Beckenrandes eine andere Formgebung aufweisen als die innere Kontur 24 des zugeordneten Beckenrandes, wobei der äußere Rand 22 des Plungerkopfes 15 wahlweise der Formgebung der äußeren Kontur 23 oder inneren Kontur 24 der dann unterschiedlichen Ausbildung des Beckenrandes entsprechen kann.FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which the outer edge 22 of the plunger head 15 and the upper edge of the drain cup 11 are designed in accordance with the outer contour 23 or the inner contour 24 of the upper basin edge of the sanitary apparatus 10. This creates a parallel line between the components, which greatly improves the optical image of the sanitary apparatus. In deviation from the exemplary embodiment shown, the outer contour 23 of the upper pool edge can also have a different shape than the inner contour 24 of the associated pool edge, the outer edge 22 of the plunger head 15 optionally having the shape of the outer contour 23 or inner contour 24 of the then can correspond to different training of the pool edge.
