Definitions

  • the invention is based on an arrangement with which a sanitary element can be mounted in an opening of a plate-like element.
  • a sanitary element can be mounted in an opening of a plate-like element.
  • a sanitary fitting which has a contact shoulder for abutment with the front of a plate member.
  • the sanitary fitting is provided with a locking element that can be inserted through the opening of the plate.
  • the blocking element has a front side intended to rest on the rear side of the plate element, which runs parallel to the rear side and parallel to the abutment shoulder. The determination is done by screwing a nut on the back of the plate member (US-A-5515882).
  • a sanitary fitting is known (EP-A1-213656), in which a locking element with also a front side parallel to the back of the plate member can be inserted through the opening of the plate member that two webs of the plate member are bent inwards.
  • the attachment is done by tightening a fixing screw from the front.
  • the opening through which the fastener is inserted must be larger, so that locking element can be moved laterally.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a way, as in an opening of a plate member, a sanitary element can be set with the least possible effort.
  • the invention proposes a sanitary element with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims, the wording of which as well as the wording of the abstract is incorporated by reference into the content of the description.
  • the sanitary element is inserted, for example, from the front through the opening until the abutment shoulder rests against the front of the plate element in the region of the opening.
  • the locking element is moved radially outward after insertion and holds the sanitary element behind the edge of the opening on the back.
  • plate element should be understood to mean any type in which the opening on the rear side opens out into a surface which is larger than the surface of the hole.
  • the blocking element can be moved radially inwards. Due to the increasing distance in the radial direction the front edge of the locking element of the abutment shoulder, the locking element can bridge different thicknesses of the plate.
  • the minimum distance between the front of the locking element and the abutment shoulder smaller and the maximum distance is greater than the thickness of the plate member in the region of the opening.
  • a spring can be provided in a further development for biasing the blocking element, which spring biases the blocking element radially outward.
  • Radially outward is also understood to mean a direction which has a radial component.
  • the blocking element has spring properties.
  • the spring properties of the locking element can supplement or replace the separate spring.
  • the contact shoulder facing the front of the locking element is formed as an edge, that has a relatively small area.
  • the front face of the blocking element which is designed in particular as an edge, has a rough surface, in particular is jagged. It can thereby be achieved that, despite the resilience due to the bias of a spring, the attachment is secured against rotation. This is to ensure that the sanitary element is not twisted.
  • the blocking element is formed so that its front edge in the attached state runs obliquely to the edge of the opening, viewed in a plan view of the opening.
  • the edge of the locking element remote from the abutment shoulder extends parallel to the abutment shoulder.
  • the blocking element may be arranged to perform a sliding movement to reach the blocking position. It is particularly favorable, however, when it is pivoted.
  • the blocking element may be provided to produce the blocking element as a separate component and to connect it to the sanitary element. But it is also possible a one-piece training with a part of the sanitary element.
  • the blocking element is formed bendable in itself.
  • the blocking element is designed as a tangentially arranged on the circumference of the sanitary element spring element. Then, the locking element must be applied to the periphery of the sanitary element for insertion of the sanitary element. After insertion, the blocking element spreads, whereby it then enters the blocking position.
  • the blocking element is part of a metal strip which is wrapped around the periphery of the sanitary element and fixed thereto. The blocking element can by simple punched out of the metal strip be formed, which then turn off tangentially when laying around itself.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rear view of the sanitary element, that is from the back of the plate, in the opening it is to be attached.
  • the sanitary element is a holder for a shower head 1, to whose water supply a connection nipple 2 is provided.
  • the nipple 2 occurs at the back 3 of the sanitary element out of this.
  • the sanitary element has a circular cylindrical outer side 4, which extends in the region of the front of the sanitary element up to a contact shoulder 5.
  • the abutment shoulder 5 is formed on a flange running around the sanitary element.
  • a metal band 6 is attached, the two ends overlap and are connected to each other at 7.
  • a bracket 8 is formed on the sanitary element, which leaves a narrow space between its inside and outside 4 free, in which the metal strip 6 stops. It is secured in this way against slipping, as the space between the Outside and the bracket 8 only in the direction of the contact shoulder 5 is open.
  • the parts 9, which are integrally part of the metal strip 6, have spring properties and can be applied by a user from the outside against the outside 4 of the sanitary element.
  • Fig. 2 now shows a partially sectioned side view of the fastened sanitary element.
  • the plate element 10 is shown in section. It includes an opening 11 which passes completely through the plate member 10.
  • an opening 11 surrounding the surface 12 is formed, which need not lie in one plane.
  • Fig. 3 shows a view of the metal strip 6 before its attachment to the sanitary element.
  • the metal strip 6 is formed as a narrow rectangular strip whose length is slightly larger than the circumference of the cylindrical part 4 of the sanitary element.
  • two incisions 16 are formed, the one Positioning of the band 6 behind the brackets 8 effect.
  • two incisions 17 are punched into the metal strip 6, which form the lower edge 18 of the resilient locking parts 9, which are facing away from the plate 10 edges 18 in a plane parallel to the plate 10.
  • the locking members 9 are bounded on the one hand by the slot 17 and on the other hand by a punching 19 which extends obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the metal strip 6 and the serrated front edges 15 of the locking elements 19 form.
  • the prongs of the leading edges 15 of the two locking elements 9 are shaped so that prongs arise at an angle of about 60 °.
  • the teeth lock the locking elements 9 both in the extension direction, ie perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the metal strip 6 in Fig. 3, as well as in the circumferential direction, ie in the longitudinal direction of the belt in Fig. 3.
  • the metal strip 6 of FIG 3 and its two ends are placed one on top of the other and welded together.
  • the metal band 6 is connected to the sanitary element.
  • the plate element with the opening, in which the sanitary element is arranged can have the same or different wall thicknesses in the area of the opening.
  • the back of the plate member, which acts on the locking element may be uneven, rugged or interrupted.
  • the front of the plate member is not in a plane, this can be compensated by appropriate design of the abutment shoulder be, for example, by an adapter element, which causes a balance between an in-plane abutment shoulder and the disk surface.
  • the locking elements on the back compensate for different wall thicknesses of its own.
  • the blocking element is integral with the sanitary element or a part of the sanitary element, it may optionally be reinforced or supported by an additional spring.
  • the mounting arrangement is also applicable when no access to the back of the plate member is required, so for example for attaching a rosette. Even large rosettes can be easily attached, since the individual locking elements can work independently.
