Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gelenkverbindung für eine
Zugknopf-Ablaufgarnitur für Waschtische, Bidets oder
dergleichen sanitäre Einrichtungen zur Herstellung
einer einstellbaren Verbindung zwischen der Zugstange
zur Betätigung des Verschlußorgans in der Ablaufgarnitur
und der Plungerstange gemäß dem Oberbegriff des
Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an articulated connection for a
Pull-button waste set for wash basins, bidets or
similar sanitary facilities for manufacturing
an adjustable connection between the drawbar
for actuating the closure element in the waste set
and the plunger rod according to the preamble of
Waschtische, Bidets oder andere sanitäre Einrichtungen des gehobenen Standards und des gesteigerten Bedienkomforts sind mit Ablaufgarnituren ausgestattet, deren Verschlußorgan über eine Plungerstange mit Hilfe einer Zugstange, die in den meisten Fällen integrierter Bestandteil einer Einlochmischbatterie ist, in eine Offen- und Verschlußstellung bewegt werden kann. Zugstange und Plungerstange werden dabei durch Gelenkelemente winkelbeweglich miteinander verbunden. Diese Gelenkelemente müssen auf der Zugstange und auf der Plungerstange justierbar und fixierbar sein, um die volle Funktionsfähigkeit der Verschlußeinrichtung zu gewährleisten und eine genaue Anpassung der aus Zugstange, Gelenkelement und Plungerstange bestehenden Betätigungseinrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den bauseitigen Bedingungen nach der Installation oder nach einer Reparatur an der sanitären Einrichtung zu ermöglichen. Ferner muß gesichert sein, daß die Zugstange im Gelenk- oder Verbindungselement nicht um ihre eigene Achse verdreht oder bei Betätigung sogar aus dem Verbindungselement herausgezogen werden kann. Zur Sicherstellung dieser Anforderungen besteht eine gattungsgemäße Gelenkverbindung -DE 78 29 075 U1- aus mehreren Teilelementen, die mit einer Klemmschraube auf der Zugstange festgeklemmt werden, wobei Plunger- und Zugstange durch ein Gelenk miteinander gekoppelt sind. Diese Art der Gelenkverbindung erfüllt die eingangs erwähnten Forderungen bezüglich einer sicheren Funktion der Ablaufgarnitur, jedoch sind sowohl der fertigungsseitige als auch der montageseitige Aufwand für diese Gelenkelemente relativ hoch.Wash stands, bidets or other sanitary facilities the high standard and the increased ease of use are equipped with drain sets, whose closure member with a plunger rod Help a tie rod in most cases Integrated component of a single-hole mixer tap is moved to an open and closed position can be. Pull rod and plunger rod are included angularly movable with each other through joint elements connected. These joint elements must be on the Drawbar and adjustable on the plunger rod be fixable to the full functionality of the Locking device to ensure and accurate Adjustment of the pull rod, joint element and plunger rod existing actuator in Depending on the on-site conditions after the Installation or after a repair on the sanitary To enable establishment. Furthermore, must be secured be that the tie rod in the joint or connecting element not twisted around its own axis or at Actuation even pulled out of the connecting element can be. To ensure these requirements there is a generic articulation -DE 78 29 075 U1- made up of several sub-elements a clamping screw clamped on the drawbar be, plunger and tie rod by a joint are coupled together. This type of articulation fulfills the requirements mentioned at the beginning regarding the safe function of the waste set, however, both the manufacturing side and the Assembly effort for these joint elements quite high.
Andere Bauformen zur Herstellung einer einstellbaren Verbindung zwischen der Zugstange und der Plungerstange verwenden federnd ausgebildete Klemmbleche, wobei das Verbindungselement eine U-förmige federnde Spange mit in den Schenkeln eingelassenen schlitzförmigen Öffnungen für die Aufnahme der Zugstange ist. Im Stegteil der U-förmigen Spange sind sogenannte Lappen vorgesehen, die der Aufnahme und lagegenauen Fixierung der Plungerstange dienen - DE 40 37 844 Al, DE 30 39 042 C2. Die Handhabung und Montage dieser Verbindungselemente ist äußerst einfach. Der fertigungstechnische Aufwand, auch wenn es sich teilweise um einstückig ausgebildete Verbindungselemente handelt, ist relativ hoch, insbesondere dann, wenn eine Klemmung auf Zugstange und Plungerstange mit Hilfe von federnd ausgebildeten Elementen erreicht werden soll. Darüber hinaus geht von solchen Klemmelementen, die aus U-förmig gebogenen Spangen bestehen oder mit Federblechen arbeiten, eine Verletzungsgefahr aus. Unterstützt durch nachlassende oder zu geringe Federkräfte kann die justierte Einstellung beispielsweise bei Reinigungsarbeiten an den sanitären Einrichtungen sehr schnell unbeabsichtigt verstellt werden.Other designs for producing an adjustable Connection between the pull rod and the plunger rod use resilient clamping plates, whereby the connecting element is a U-shaped spring clip with slit-shaped inserts in the thighs There are openings for the pull rod. in the Web part of the U-shaped clasp are so-called lobes provided that of the recording and precise location fixation serve the plunger rod - DE 40 37 844 Al, DE 30 39 042 C2. The handling and assembly of these Fasteners is extremely simple. The manufacturing technology Effort, even if it is partial are integrally formed connecting elements, is relatively high, especially if one Clamp on tie rod and plunger rod with the help can be achieved by resilient elements should. In addition, such clamping elements which consist of U-shaped bent clips or with Working spring plates, a risk of injury. Supported by decreasing or insufficient spring forces For example, the adjusted setting during cleaning work on the sanitary facilities can be adjusted unintentionally very quickly.
Aus der GB 926,154 ist ein klammerähnliches Kupplungselement bekannt, um Stangen und Rohre von Laboraurüstungen, die sich mit ihren Längsachsen kreuzen, beim Aufbau einer Versuchsanlage in einem Labor gegeneinander zu verspannen und festzulegen. Von den sich kreuzenden Laborelementen wird mindestens eines der Elemente von der Klammer bereichsweise umschlossen, während das andere Ausrüstungselement mit seiner Außenmantelfläche an dem umschlossenen Element anliegt. Die miteinander zu verbindenden Elemente werden an ihrem Kreuzungspunkt durch eine Spannschraube miteinander verspannt, die Bestandteil des klammerähnlichen Verbindungselementes ist und in einem beide Klammerhälften verbindenden Brückenelement eingeschraubt ist. Mit der vorgeschlagenen Lösung nach GB-A 926,154 ist nur eine feste, starre Verbindung der im Labor verwendeten Ausrüstungen wie Stangen oder Rohre an ihren Kreuzungspunkten möglich. Eine Relativbewegung der verspannten Teile zueinander, wie sie beispielsweise bei einer Plunger- und Zugstange einer Zugknopfablaufarmatur funktionsbedingt notwendig ist, kann mit dieser Lösung nicht realisiert werden.From GB 926,154 is a clip-like coupling element known for bars and tubes of laboratory equipment, that cross with their longitudinal axes, at Setup of a test facility in a laboratory against each other to brace and fix. Of the yourself crossing laboratory elements will be at least one of the Elements enclosed in areas by the bracket, while the other piece of equipment with its outer surface abuts the enclosed element. The elements to be connected are shown their crossing point with each other by a clamping screw braced, the part of the bracket-like Connection element is and in one of the two halves of the bracket connecting bridge element screwed is. With the proposed solution according to GB-A 926,154 is just a fixed, rigid connection in the laboratory used equipment such as rods or pipes their crossing points possible. A relative movement the clamped parts to each other, such as with a plunger and pull rod of a pull-button drain fitting is necessary for functional reasons, cannot be realized with this solution.
Für die Gelenkverbindung zwischen zwei sich kreuzenden Stangen oder Stäben nach DE-GM 78 29 075 ist ein U-förmiger Kunststoffblock vorgesehen, der zwei sich kreuzende Bohrungen zur Aufnahme der Stangen aufweist. Die Gelenkverbindung wird durch ein verschwenkbar ausgebildetes Teil des Kunststoffblockes ermöglicht, das über ein elastisch-biegeverformbares Filmscharnier angelenkt ist und die Aufnahmebohrung für eine der zu verbindenden Stangen trägt. Die Lagesicherung und Justierung dieser Gelenkverbindung erfolgt mit Hilfe von Spannschrauben unter Verwendung einer U-förmigen Klemmvorrichtung. Diese Gelenkverbindung erfüllt die funktionellen Anforderungen an eine Verbindung zwischen Zug- und Plungerstange, jedoch ist der Kunststoffblock hinsichtlich der Montage und der eigenen Herstellung relativ aufwendig.For the articulation between two intersecting Rods or rods according to DE-GM 78 29 075 a U-shaped plastic block provided the two intersecting holes for receiving the rods having. The articulation is pivoted by a trained part of the plastic block enables that via an elastic-bend-deformable Film hinge is articulated and the mounting hole for one of the rods to be connected. The Secure the position and adjust this articulation is carried out with the help of clamping screws a U-shaped clamping device. This articulation fulfills the functional requirements for a Connection between pull and plunger rod, however is the plastic block in terms of assembly and the own production relatively expensive.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein weiter verbessertes, nur eine Schraubstelle aufweisendes Gelenkelement der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, das mit geringem Aufwand herstellbar und montierbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object further improved, only one screw point Specify joint element of the type mentioned at the outset, that can be manufactured and assembled with little effort is.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die im Patentanspruch
1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved in the

are specified in
Die erfindungsgemäße Gelenkverbindung gestattet unter Anwendung des zugehörigen Verbindungselementes, das vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff mit einer geeigneten Festigkeit besteht und im Spritzgußverfahren kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann, eine schnelle und sichere Verbindung von Zug- und Plungerstange bei minimalem Montageaufwand, da nur eine einzige Schraubstelle vorgesehen ist. The joint connection according to the invention allows under Application of the associated connecting element, the preferably made of plastic with a suitable Strength exists and inexpensive in the injection molding process can be made fast and secure connection of pull and plunger rods minimal installation effort, since only one screwing point is provided.
Während die Zugstange verdrehsicher im Formkörper fixiert ist, wird durch die stirnseitig ausgesparten oder abgeschrägten Abschnitte der Durchgangsöffnung für die Plungerstange der nötige Freiraum geschaffen, der zur Sicherung der Öffnungs- und Schließfunktion des Verschlußstückes eine Schwenkbewegung der Plungerstange in einem Winkelbereich von beispielsweise + 20° gestattet. Innerhalb dieses Winkelbereiches können beide Stangen gegeneinander bewegt werden, obwohl sie miteinander verspannt sind. Die Gelenkverbindung lockert sich auch nicht nach vielfacher Betätigung. Vielmehr stellt sich durch die Vielzahl der Schwenkbewegungen ein minimaler Verschleiß an der Zug- und Plungerstange im Bereich des Kreuzungspunktes ein. Die dabei entstehenden minimalen Kontaktflächen führen zu einer Art Formschluß, der die Verbindung von Zug- und Plungerstange sicher aufrechterhält.While the pull rod is fixed against rotation in the molded body, the recessed or beveled sections of the through opening for the plunger rod provide the necessary space which allows the plunger rod to pivot in an angular range of, for example, + 20 ° to secure the opening and closing function of the closure piece . Both rods can be moved against each other within this angular range, even though they are clamped together. The articulated connection 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 areas lead to a kind of positive locking that securely maintains the connection between the tension and plunger rods.
Die Spannschraube ist vorzugsweise mit einer kegelförmigen Spitze versehen, die beim gegenseitigen Verspannen von Zug-, Plungerstange und Formkörper formschlüssig in die Zugstange eindringt. Ein Herausziehen oder Verdrehen der Zugstange im Formkörper wird auch dann sicher verhindert, wenn materialbedingt die Spannkräfte etwas nachlassen sollten.The clamping screw is preferably conical Provide tip that when bracing each other of tension, plunger and molded body penetrates the tie rod. A pull out or Twisting the tie rod in the molded body is also then safely prevented if the clamping forces due to the material should wear off.
