Definitions

  • This invention relates to a water tap combination such as a water tap combination including, as separate pieces, a water tap portion and an installation fitting which is built inside a wall, having the water tap portion installed thereto.
  • the purpose of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide an installation fitting, built inside a wall, for the water tap equipment.
  • the installation fitting can be adapted to various water tap solutions in a simple manner in which it is not necessary to decide the type of water tap at the initial stage of construction. Changing the water tap type afterwards is also very easy. Consequently, the installation fitting consists of a separate product independent of the type of water tap.
  • the object of the invention is a water tap combination comprising influent adapters for cold and hot water, members for mixing cold and hot water and for adjusting the amount of the mixed water, and at least one discharging opening for the mixed water.
  • the water tap combination is comprised, on the one hand, of the installation fitting which can be installed inside a wall and comprises the above-mentioned influent adapters and the output openings for cold and hot water, respectively, which communicate with the influent adapters, and on the other hand, a replaceable water tap portion which can be secured to the installation fitting and comprises input openings which are in sealed, matching relationship with the above-mentioned output openings, whereby a connection from the influent adapters is provided when the water tap portion is attached to the installation fitting.
  • An embodiment of the invention comprises an installation fitting intended to be built inside a wall, the water tap portion being installable to the installation fitting.
  • the installation fitting comprises a supporting member having adapters fitted for influent conduits of cold and hot water, check valves for cold and hot water, two discharge openings for outgoing water, a channel connecting the mixing space and the discharge openings for outgoing water, two openings in the vicinity of either discharge opening which can be connected in a sealed manner to the respective openings of the water tap portion, and attachment members which can be used to attach the water tap portion to the installation fitting.
  • the installation fitting can be applied to various water tap solutions depending of whether both discharging openings are kept closed, open, or one of them is kept open and the other one closed, and whether the channel is kept open or closed.
  • a plug is fitted in the channel closing the channel, whereby the water coming from the mixing space can be conducted out through the discharge openings.
  • a water tap portion can be installed which includes two separate water taps through which different amounts of water can be conducted simultaneously, to a shower or a bath-tub, for instance.
  • one of the discharge openings is closed and the channel is open, whereby water coming from the mixing space can be conducted from the opening in the vicinity of one of the discharge openings, through the channel, and out of the first discharge opening.
  • This solution can be applied, when water is only conducted to one object (a shower or a bath-tub), whereby the mixed water is conducted to the object of use through a conduit built inside the wall.
  • the first discharge opening is closed, the water can be conducted out the opening in the vicinity of the first discharge opening to a discharge conduit belonging to the water tap portion.
  • This solution can be applied, for instance, in a hand shower.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of the installation fitting.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the installation fitting with the water tap portion fitted thereto.
  • Fig. 3 shows a front view of another embodiment of the installation fitting.
  • Fig. 4 shows a side view of the other embodiment of the installation fitting with the water tap portion installed.
  • Fig. 5 shows a top view of the cross-section of the installation fitting along line A-A.
  • Fig. 6 shows a top view of the installation fitting with its water tap portion.
  • Fig. 7 shows the installation fitting according to Figs. 1 and 2 with its water tap portion as viewed from the side and as an angular cross-section along line B-B, on the one hand, and along the center line, on the other hand.
  • Fig. 8 shows the installation fitting according to Figs. 3 and 4 with its water tap portion as viewed from the side and as an angular cross-section along line B-B, on the one hand, and along the center line, on the other hand.
  • Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of the installation fitting according to Fig. 1 with the body of the water tap portion attached.
  • Fig. 1 shows the installation fitting marked with reference number 10 which can be shaped like an open prism.
  • Supporting members 11 and 15 have adapters 12, 12' fitted thereto for the influent conduits of cold and hot water and check valves 13, 13' for cold and hot water.
  • check valves are usually open and they are primarily only closed during reparations. It is very important to close the check valves before the water tap portion (the water tap portion is not shown in Fig. 1 because it is situated in front of the image plane) fitted on top of the installation fitting is removed.
  • these check valves should be easy to access; they should be placed, for instance, behind cover plates which are easy to remove.
  • the installation fitting further includes two discharge openings 14, 14' for outflowing water, a mixing space (the mixing space is not shown in Fig. 1 because it is situated in front of the level of the Figure), and channel 15 which connects discharge openings 14, 14' of the outflowing water, and two openings 18, 18' in vicinity of either discharge opening 14, 14'. Respective openings 16, 16' of the water tap portion can be connected to these openings 18, 18' in a sealed manner.
  • both discharge openings 14, 14' are closed with plugs 19, 19' and a short plug 21 is fitted into channel 15 which leaves channel 15 open so that water may flow from opening 18' through channel 15 to opening 18.
  • the attachment members which are used to attach the water tap portion to the installation fitting are marked with reference number 17.
  • Fig. 2 shows a part of the installation fitting according to Fig. 1 with water tap portion 30 fitted into, the water tap portion including quantity adjuster 31', thermostat 32, and discharge pipe 33 of mixed water to a hand shower or the like.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show another embodiment of the installation fitting.
  • both discharge openings 14, 14' are open and channel 15 is closed with plug 20, whereby this installation fitting is well-adapted for the water tap portion shown in Fig. 4 which comprises two quantity adjusters 31 and 31' for two different discharge routes which can be installed inside the wall.
  • Fig. 5 shows an installation fitting according to Figs. 1 and 3 as a cross section and viewed from above along line A-A.
  • check valves 13 and 13' are open, cold and hot water flow from openings 22 and 22' to the mixing space of the water tap portion thermostat through openings which are in a sealed, matching relationship with openings 22 and 22'.
  • the mixing space of the water tap portion thermostat and the associated, above-mentioned openings are not shown in the Figure.
  • the channel which was mentioned in connection with the former figures, is marked with reference number 15.
  • Fig. 6 shows the water tap combination, i.e., the installation fitting and the water tap portion, as viewed from above.
  • This figure shows in more detail the angular section lines along which the angular sections shown in following Figs. 7 and 8 are made.
  • Fig. 7 shows the installation fitting according to Figs. 1 and 2 with its water tap portion as viewed from the side and as an angular section along line B-B, on the one hand, and along the center line, on the other hand. Openings 16 and 16' of the water tap portion seal the installation fitting to openings 18 and 18'.
  • the water in mixing space 40 flows through the route indicated by the arrow from opening 18' through channel 15 to opening 18, and through to discharge pipe 33 of the water tap portion. Water does not flow out of discharge openings 14 and 14' because they are closed with plugs 19 and 19'. Short plug 21 fitted in channel 15 does not prevent water from flowing in the channel.
  • Fig. 8 shows the installation fitting according to Figs. 3 and 4 with its water tap portion as viewed from the side and as an angular section along line B-B, on the one hand, and along the center line, on the other hand. Also in this Figure, openings 16 and 16' of the water tap portion seal the installation fitting to openings 18 and 18'.
  • the water in mixing space 40 flows along the routes indicated by the arrows out of discharge openings 14 and 14' which are open here. Long plug 20 is fitted to channel 15 and prevents water from flowing through the channel.
  • Attachment members 17 are best seen in Fig. 9 which shows the installation fitting according to Fig. 1 as a perspective view, the body of the water tap portion being attached to the installation fitting.
