Definitions
- the invention relates to an articulated connection for a pull-button waste set for wash basins, bidets or similar sanitary devices for producing an adjustable connection between the pull rod for actuating the closure member in the waste set and the plunger rod according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Washstands, bidets or other sanitary facilities of the higher standard and increased user comfort are equipped with drain fittings, the locking element of which is closed by means of a plunger rod with the help of a pull rod, which in most cases is an integral part of a single-hole mixer tap Lock position can be moved.
- Tension rod and plunger rod are angularly movable together by means of joint elements connected. These joint elements must be adjustable and fixable on the pull rod and on the plunger rod in order to ensure the full functionality of the locking device and an exact adjustment of the actuating device consisting of pull rod, joint element and plunger rod depending on the on-site conditions after installation or after a To enable repair of the sanitary facility.
- a generic joint connection -DE 78 29 075 Ul- consists of several sub-elements which are clamped onto the pull rod with a clamping screw, the plunger and pull rod being coupled to one another by a joint.
- This type of joint connection fulfills the requirements mentioned at the outset with regard to the safe function of the pop-up waste set, but both the manufacturing and assembly costs for these joint elements are relatively high.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a further improved joint element of the type mentioned which has only one screw point and which can be produced and assembled with little effort.
- the joint connection according to the invention allows a quick and safe connection of the pull and plunger rod with minimal assembly effort using the associated connecting element, which preferably consists of plastic with a suitable strength and can be produced inexpensively in the injection molding process, since only a single screwing point is provided.
- the recessed or beveled sections of the through opening for the plunger rod provide the necessary free space for the plunger rod to ensure a pivoting movement of the plunger rod in an angular range of, for example, + 20 to secure the opening and closing function of the closure piece ° allowed. Both rods can be moved against each other within this angular range, even though they are clamped together.
- the joint connection also does not loosen after repeated actuation. Rather, the large number of pivoting movements results in minimal wear on the pull and plunger rod in the area of the crossing point. The resulting minimal contact surfaces lead to a kind of positive locking which reliably maintains the connection between the tension and plunger rods.
- the tensioning screw is preferably provided with a conical tip which, when the tension, plunger and molded bodies are mutually tensioned, penetrates into the tension rod in a form-fitting manner. A pulling out or twisting of the pull rod in the molded body is reliably prevented even if the clamping forces should decrease somewhat due to the material.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the drain set and the connection of train and plunger rod using a connecting element according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 shows the view of the connection between the tension rod and the plunger rod in direction A according to FIG. I;
- FIG. 4 shows the section BB from FIG. 3
- the pull-button drain set consists of the drain piece 12 with the peripheral drain recess 13, which is connected to the overflow of the sanitary device, and the drain cup 14, in which the closure piece 15 is arranged.
- the closure piece 15 is operatively connected to the plunger rod 4, which in turn is coupled to the pull rod 1, which is usually part of a single-hole battery, within an angular range of + 20 ° via the connecting element 2 and the tension screw 7 used.
- the connecting element 2 which serves for the angularly movable coupling of the pull rod 1 and the plunger rod 4 is advantageously a molded body 3 made of a plastic having a corresponding strength.
- two through openings 8, 9 lying approximately at right angles to one another are provided, which are arranged such that the outer lateral surfaces of the pull rod 1 and the plunger rod 4 touch each other and the rods 1, 4 are partially enclosed by the molded body 3.
- a receptacle 5 is formed with a head part 6, in which the clamping screw 7, which has a conical tip, is screwed.
- the plunger rod 4 and the pull rod 1 are inserted into the through openings 8 and 9 provided for this purpose and the two rods 1, 4 are clamped together at the point of intersection using the tensioning screw 7, the conical tip of the tensioning screw 7 penetrates into the outer surface of the pull rod and, when the pull and plunger rods 1, 4 are braced against one another, simultaneously braces the plunger rod 4 with the molded body 3 of the connecting element.
- the mutual bracing of the molded body 3, the plunger rod 4 and the pull rod 1 ensures that the adjusted setting of the closure piece 15 in its open and closed positions is fixed in a precise position.
- the tip of the tensioning screw 7 penetrating into the pull rod 1 ensures that the pull rod cannot be pulled out.
- the recessed or beveled sections 11 present on the end face in the through opening 8 for receiving the plunger rod 4 secure the necessary free spaces for the unimpeded pivoting of the plunger rod 4 in the predetermined angular range.
- the proposed solution leads to a further reduction in the manufacturing and assembly costs for the angularly movable coupling of the plunger and tie rod.
- the connecting element 2 according to the invention can moreover be handled extremely practically during assembly, since only a single screw connection has to be made.
