Definitions

  • the present invention concerns taps for sanitary fittings in general accommodating mixing valves or interception headworks functioning as regulation devices for the water to be delivered. More particularly, the invention concerns a tap body for wash basins, sinks, bidets and the like, as well as for bathtub batteries.
  • taps and bathtub batteries As regards taps and bathtub batteries, several embodiments are known according to which the tap body is in synthetic resin and obtained by injection moulding. Such embodiments however suffer from restrictions and other various problems with regard to forms, shrinkage, deformation and above all strength, when a body takes part in tap installation and is consequently subject to stress during use.
  • the aim of the present invention is to improve structure and assembly of tap bodies or bathtub batteries comprising plastic elements, so as to obviate said restrictions and solve the above mentioned problems.
  • a tap body comprising a metal core and a plastic case, the latter of simple structure so as to permit easy production by moulding for convenient, quick and secure assembly, which is not subject to any mechanical stress and functioning merely as a jacket and as an outside finishing of the tap, in the desired and most various shapes.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a composite body for taps in which the water ducts and interception valve device are located exclusively in a metal core, so as to relieve the resin case of any functions involving canalization and water tightness.
  • a body for taps or bathtub batteries according to the present invention is substantially as claimed in claim 1.
  • the outside plastic case comprises two complementary components of any shape, which can easily be obtained by moulding, whose only function is to cover the metal core thus giving the tap its final and global shape, with no need of any further machining.
  • such case may be made in any colour, starting from adequately pigmented resin.
  • the reference numeral 10 indicates the whole tap body proposed by the invention, comprising a core 11 and a case 12 which completely encase and covers the core.
  • Said core comprises an element 13, usually made in brass, provided with at least one water inlet duct not illustrated in the figures, a water outlet duct 13a and a seat 13c designed to receive a valve device 14, and a tube or head 15, in brass or other material, conveying water towards a terminal delivery spout 16 which may be provided with an aerator.
  • the element 13 of the metal core 11 is provided with two inlet ducts designed to be connected to corresponding hot and cold water supply channels and with one outlet duct 13a designed to be connected to the tube or head 15 conveying water towards the spout 16.
  • the valve device 14 may consist in a per se known cartridge type mixer valve, which is designed to be mounted and fixed in the seat 13c defined by the element 13 by means of a nut 17 and is controlled through a handle 18.
  • the tube or head 15, at one end, is introduced into and fastened by pressure to the outlet opening 13a with a seal 15a interposed, and on the other end it includes the delivery spout 16.
  • the case 12 comprises two moulded plastic elements 19, 20 designed to completely couple to each other.
  • the first element 19 is bell-shaped and comprises an integral side extension 19' like a shell located in the middle of its height and delimiting a cavity open downwards.
  • Said side extension 19' extends above an opening 19'' provided on one side of the bell-shaped element 19 and may be angled at discretion with respect to the element itself.
  • the second element 20 of the case is shell-shaped and upside down with respect to the side extension 19' and delimits a concavity facing upwards.
  • Such second element 20 is provided with a hook 20' at the bottom thereof which permits connection to the first element 19 towards the bottom thereof.
  • the extension 19' and the shell-shaped element 20 are also provided with shoulders 21 along their edges, which are designed to couple and to define a connection surface between the two components.
  • the bell-shaped element 19 of the case 12 is designed to receive, from the bottom to the top, and accommodate the core 11 including the valve device 14 and the tube or head 15 with terminal spout 16.
  • the side extension 19' and the complementary shell-shaped element 20, when coupled, encase the tube or head 15 completely or mostly, the one above and the other below said tube or head.
  • the element 20 is fixed to the element 19 through the hook 20' and coupled to the extension through the shoulders provided in the edges concerned.
  • the shell-shaped extension 19' may be fixed to the tube or head 15 in various ways.
  • the tube or head 15 may be provided with side fins 22 and the shell-shaped extension 19' with a couple of inside stems 23' corresponding to said fins.
  • the shell-shaped 19' extension may be fixed to the tube or head 15 by means of self-tapping screws 24, screwed through the fins 22 and in the stems 23' as shown in Figure 3.
  • the stems 23' may be cylindrical but in a form composed of toothed elastic sectors designed to snap into holes provided in the fins 22' as shown in Figures 4, 4a.
  • the lower shell-shaped element 20 may be provided with an inside rod 25 designed to be introduced into the toothed sectors of the stems 23' so as to ensure secure blocking.
  • FIGs 5, 5a illustrate another fastening system comprising connection and safety elements 23'', 22'' and 25' as shown in Figures 4, 4a, but having different forms.
  • stems 23a of the extension 19' may be fastened to the fins 22a of the tube or head 25 by ultrasonic welding - see Figure 6.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are views of a wash basin tap and a bidet tap finished.
  • a closing disc 26 is snap applied to the base of the bell-shaped element 19.
  • the case 30 of the battery comprises two complementary, shell-shaped elements, and namely an upper element 31 and a lower element 32 designed to encase a core with a valve device 33, two channels for hot and cold water 34 and a tube or head 35 with a terminal spout.
  • Said two bodies are fixed to each other by means of screws 36 along two opposite sections and to the tube or head 35, by means of other screws 37 located on two sides of a diverter 38.
