Abstract

A proposed water outflow for a sanitary fitting, whereby the water outflow consists of at least two longtudinal sections, one close (1) to the fitting and another close to the outlet (2). Both sections are connected to each other in a mobile manner.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wasserauslauf für sanitäre Armaturen, wie sie z.B. im Küchenbereich eingesetzt werden. Küchenarmaturen herkömmlicher Art mit Schwenkauslauf ermöglichen es, den Auslauf von einem Becken zu einem anderen zu schwenken oder über einen zu füllenden Topf zu bewegen.The invention relates to a water outlet for sanitary Fittings such as be used in the kitchen area. Kitchen taps of conventional type with swivel spout allow the spout from one pool to another to swivel or over a pot to be filled move.

Um weitere Beweglichkeit des Wasserauslasses zu erreichen, sind Küchenarmaturen mit ausziehbarer Handbrause entwickelt worden. Damit können die Becken ausgespült werden oder größere Behälter gefüllt werden. Nachteilig bei diesen Küchenarmaturen ist die Notwendigkeit, die Handbrause zu entnehmen, bevor sie frei bewegt werden kann und die Notwendigkeit sie in ihre Halterung zurückzuführen.To achieve further mobility of the water outlet, are kitchen taps with pull-out hand shower has been developed. This allows the pools to be rinsed out or larger containers can be filled. adversely with these kitchen taps the need is that Take the hand shower out before moving it freely can and the need to put them back in their holder.

Weiters ist aus der EP 245 905 A eine Armatur bekannt, die zwei Längsabschnitte, einen armaturnahen und einen austrittsnahen Längsabschnitt aufweist, die beweglich miteinander verbunden sind. Nachteilig ist, daß die beiden Längsabschnitte in jener Position zueinander verharren, in die sie gebracht wurden. Diese Einstellung ist jedoch für die nachfolgende Anwendung möglicherweise ungeeignet.Furthermore, a fitting is known from EP 245 905 A, the two longitudinal sections, one near the valve and one has longitudinal portion near the outlet, which is movable are interconnected. The disadvantage is that the two Longitudinal sections remain in that position to each other, to which they were brought. This setting is however, it may not be suitable for subsequent use.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, die Beweglichkeit des Wasserauslasses bzw. des Strahles bei einem Schwenkauslauf ohne ausziehbare Brause zu verbessern oder eines nichtschwenkbaren Auslaufes zu ermöglichen, ohne daß der Auslauf einer Halterung entnommen werden muß, respektive in eine solche zurückgeführt werden muß und so gegebenenfalls mit einem starren Auslauf auszukommen bzw. die Beweglichkeit eines Schwenkauslaufes überflüssig zu machen. Dabei soll die Armatur nach jeder Anwendung von selbst wieder eine Normalstellung einnehmen.The object of the invention is mobility the water outlet or the jet at one Improve swivel spout without pull-out spray or to enable a non-swiveling spout without that the spout must be removed from a holder, respectively must be returned to such and so if necessary get along with a rigid spout or the mobility of a swivel spout is unnecessary do. The valve should be after each application of take up a normal position again.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß der Wasserauslauf mindestens zwei Längsabschnitte, einen armaturnahen und einen austrittsnahen Längsabschnitt, aufweist, die beweglich miteinander verbunden sind, und an denen die Enden eines Rückstellelementes, insbesondere einer Feder, angebracht sind. Der Auslauf wird also geteilt und an der Teilung z.B. mit einem Gelenk versehen, das ein Anheben und Absenken des Wasserauslasses ermöglicht, wobei gleichzeitig eine Neigung des Wasserstrahles nach vorne bzw.nach hinten bewirkt wird und wenn erwünscht, eine seitliche Auslenkung, z.B. durch ein Kugeloder Kardangelenk, zuläßt. Hierdurch ist wie bei einer ausziehbaren Handbrause jeder Punkt im Becken mit dem Strahl erreichbar und höhere Töpfe können gefüllt werden, wobei die Betätigung im Vergleich zu einer ausziehbaren Handbrause vereinfacht ist. Durch das Rückstellelement, z.B. die Feder, wird der Auslauf jeweils in eine Normalstellung zurückorientiert.According to the invention this is achieved in that the water outlet at least two longitudinal sections, one near the valve and has a longitudinal section near the outlet, which are movably connected to each other, and on which the ends of a reset element, in particular a spring, are attached. The spout is divided and at the division e.g. with a joint, that allows the water outlet to be raised and lowered, at the same time an inclination of the water jet forwards or backwards and if desired, a lateral deflection, e.g. through a bullet or Cardan joint, allows. This is like a pull-out hand shower every point in the basin with the Jet accessible and higher pots can be filled, the actuation compared to an extendable Hand shower is simplified. Through the reset element, e.g. the spring, the outlet is in a normal position back oriented.

Die Wasserführung zwischen zwei Längsabschnitten erfolgt z.B. mittels eines Druckschlauchs oder durch entsprechende Abdichtungen, wie sie z.B. bei Kugelgelenken bekannt sind. Diese Abdichtung kann z.B. auch dadurch erreicht werden, daß die gegeneinander bewegten Flächen des Gelenkes Dichtflächen sind. Eine solche Abdichtung ist z.B. bei Walzengelenken möglich. Die Wasserführung kann in diesen Fällen durch Bohrungen in den einzelnen Elementen des Gelenkes erfolgen.The water is routed between two longitudinal sections e.g. by means of a pressure hose or by corresponding Seals, e.g. known for ball joints are. This seal can e.g. also achieved thereby be that the mutually moving surfaces of the joint Are sealing surfaces. Such a seal is e.g. possible with roller joints. The water flow can these cases through drilling in the individual elements of the joint.

"Gelenk" und Rückstellfeder können auch baueinheitlich ausgebildet sein, z.B. in der Form einer biegsamen Schraubenfeder. Die Wasserzuführung wird in diesem Fall z.B. von einem biegsamen Schlauch im Inneren der Schraubenfeder übernommen. Es ist aber auch denkbar, daß die Schraubenfeder außen mit einer elastischen Verkleidung versehen ist, die gegenüber den beiden Längsabschnitten abdichtet."Joint" and return spring can also be of the same design be trained, e.g. in the form of a pliable Coil spring. The water supply is in this case e.g. of a flexible hose inside the coil spring accepted. But it is also conceivable that the Coil spring outside with an elastic covering is provided opposite the two longitudinal sections seals.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Verwendung einer vorgespannten Schraubenfeder, da sie eine Rückstellung in eine sehr genaue Position erlaubt und so ausgelegt werden kann, daß die Strahlkräfte des Wasserauslaufes nicht zu einer Auslenkung führen.The use of a prestressed is particularly advantageous Coil spring as it has a default in one very precise position allowed and so interpreted can that the radiant power of the water outlet does not increase lead to a deflection.

Es sind aber auch Kombinationen von Kugelgelenk und Rückstellfedern aller Art möglich.But there are also combinations of ball joint and return springs of all kinds possible.

Ferner sind Kombinationen von Kardangelenk mit Federn sowie Walzengelenk mit Feder oder jeweils ohne Federn möglich.Combinations of universal joints with springs as well Roller joint with spring or without springs possible.

Die Gelenke, wie genannt, sind im allgemeinen nicht sehr ansehnlich und zudem verschmutzungsempfindlich. Vorteilhaft ist es deshalb, eine Verblendung mittels eines biegsamen Schlauches, insbesondere eines Balgens aus flexiblem Material bzw. in flexibler Ausgestaltung, anzuordnen.The joints, as mentioned, are generally not very handsome and also sensitive to dirt. Advantageous it is therefore a veneer by means of a flexible Hose, especially a bellows made of flexible To arrange material or in a flexible design.

Die Ausgestaltung des Balgens kann aber auch dahingehend sein, daß der Balgen hinreichende, federnde Rückstellkräfte erzeugt und somit auch die Gelenkfunktion und die Funktion der Rückstellfedern selber übernehmen kann. Hinsichtlich der Beweglichkeit ist ein Balgen drehsteif um seine lange Achse und biegsam um die beiden zur Längsachse normalen Achsen und entspricht somit einem kardangelenkigen Bauteil.The configuration of the bellows can also be done in this regard be that the bellows have sufficient resilient restoring forces generated and thus also the joint function and the Function of the return springs can take over itself. Regarding the bellows is torsionally rigid its long axis and flexible about the two to the longitudinal axis normal axes and thus corresponds to a universal joint Component.

Bei Verwendung eines Balgens zur Verkleidung eines der vorgenannten Gelenke kann die Drehsteifigkeit des Balgens zur Rückstellung des Wasserauslasses bezüglich der langen Achse des Auslaufgelenkes bzw. zur Unterdrückung einer Beweglichkeit um diese Achse herangezogen werden. Gleichzeitig kann der Balgen zur Wasserführung dienen.When using a bellows to cover one of the the aforementioned joints can increase the torsional rigidity of the bellows to reset the water outlet in relation to the long one Axis of the outlet joint or to suppress a Mobility around this axis can be used. simultaneously the bellows can be used to guide water.

Insbesondere bei Verwendung von Kugelgelenken oder der vorteilhaften Ausführung mit vorgespannter Schraubenfeder als Gelenk und Rückstellorgan ist dieser Nutzen des Balgens erwünscht, da ohne eine Vorrichtung zur Rückstellung oder Behinderung der Bewegung des Wasserauslaufs um die lange Achse des Gelenks der Wasserstrahl schief zur Armaturenhauptebene stehen bleiben würde und der Wasserstrahl beim nächsten Öffnen des Ventils eine unerwünschte und unerwartete Richtung hat.Especially when using ball joints or the advantageous version with pre-tensioned coil spring as a joint and restoring device, this is the benefit of bellows desirable because without a device for resetting or obstruction to the movement of the water outlet around the Long axis of the joint, the water jet is skewed to the valve main level would stop and the water jet the next time you open the valve an undesirable and has unexpected direction.

Damit der Balgen diese Aufgabe erfüllen kann, ist seine drehfeste Verbindung mit dem armaturnahen Längsabschnitt und dem austrittsnahen Längsabschnitt des Auslaufes notwendig.So that the bellows can fulfill this task is his Non-rotatable connection with the longitudinal section near the fitting and the outlet near the longitudinal section of the outlet.

Bei Anwendung von Rückstellfedern muß dafür Sorge getragen werden, daß beim Loslassen eines ausgelenkten Wasserauslasses keine unangenehmen Schwingungen auftreten. Bei Verwendung von Schraubenfedern als Gelenk und Rückstellfedern bietet es sich an, diese mit einem elastischen Schlauch zu überziehen, der in Berührung mit der Schraubenfeder ist und bei Biegung der Feder an deren Windungen Reibung verursacht.Care must be taken when using return springs be that when you release a deflected water outlet no unpleasant vibrations occur. at Use of coil springs as a joint and return springs it makes sense to do this with an elastic Cover the hose in contact with the coil spring and when the spring bends at its turns Causes friction.

Diese Funktion kann zumindest teilweise auch von einem Gummibalgen, der die Schraubenfeder umschließt, erreicht werden, wenn der Balgen in Reibkontakt mit den Schraubenfedern gebracht ist.This function can at least partially be done by one Rubber bellows that surrounds the coil spring reached when the bellows is in frictional contact with the coil springs brought.

Ist das besagte, erfindungsgemäße Gelenk allseitig auslenkbar, so kann auch eine Küchenarmatur gebaut werden, die keinen schwenkbaren Auslauf aufweist.If said joint according to the invention can be deflected on all sides, so a kitchen tap can also be built, which has no swivel spout.

Die Erfindung soll im folgenden anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen nochmals erläutert werden. Dabei zeigt Fig. 1 die seitliche Draufsicht auf eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Fig. 2 zeigt einen Schnitt durch den armaturnahen Längsabschnitt und den beweglichen Bereich des Wasserauslasses mit einer Schraubenfeder. Die Fig. 3 zeigt den beweglichen Bereich eines Wasserauslasses gemäß einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel und die Fig. 4 zeigt einen Schnitt entlang der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 3.The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying Drawings are explained again. Fig. 1 is a side plan view of an embodiment of the Invention. Fig. 2 shows a section through the armature Longitudinal section and the movable area of the water outlet with a coil spring. 3 shows the movable area of a water outlet according to a another embodiment and Fig. 4 shows one Section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3rd

In Fig. 1 ist ein Wasserauslauf für eine sanitäre Armatur mit einem armaturnahen Längsabschnitt 1 und einem austrittsnahen Längsabschnitt 2 gezeigt. Die beiden Längsabschnitte 1 und 2 sind über einen Balgen 8 verbunden. Im Bereich des Balgens 8 ist der Wasserauslauf beweglich. Dargestellt ist die Normalposition, in welcher der Wasserstrahl, der aus dem Austritt 3 abgegeben wird, vertikal nach unten gerichtet ist. Innerhalb des Balgens 8 kann z.B., wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, eine Schraubenfeder 5 angeordnet sein, die gleichzeitig als gelenkige Verbindung wie auch als Rückstellelement dient. Der Balgen 8 dient einerseits als optische Verkleidung und verhindert andererseits die Verschmutzung der innenliegenden Elemente. Zusätzlich kann er, wenn er aus Gummi ist und an der Schraubenfeder 5 anliegt, durch Reibung verhindern, daß bei Rückkehr des austrittsnahen Längsabschnittes 2 in die Normalposition nach der Auslenkung dieser austrittsnahe Längsabschnitt 2 Schwingungen um diese Normalposition ausführt.In Fig. 1 is a water outlet for a sanitary fitting with a longitudinal section 1 near the fitting and one near the outlet Longitudinal section 2 shown. The two longitudinal sections 1 and 2 are connected by a bellows 8. in the In the area of the bellows 8, the water outlet is movable. The normal position is shown in which the water jet, which is discharged from the outlet 3, vertically is directed downwards. Inside the bellows 8 For example, as shown in Fig. 2, a coil spring 5 be arranged at the same time as an articulated connection as also serves as a reset element. The bellows 8 serves as optical cladding and prevents on the other hand, the pollution of the internal elements. In addition, if it is made of rubber and attached to the Coil spring 5 is present, prevent by friction upon return of the longitudinal section 2 near the outlet into the Normal position after the deflection of this near the exit Longitudinal section 2 vibrations around this normal position performs.

Wie man in Fig. 2 sieht, wird das Wasser durch einen Druckschlauch 10 geführt, der die Längsabschnitte 1, 2 des Wasserauslaufes sowie den beweglichen Bereich innerhalb des Balgens 8 und der Schraubenfeder 5 durchsetzt. Die Schraubenfeder 5 kann in jeder Richtung quer zu ihrer Längsachse und damit quer zur Fließrichtung des Wassers verformt werden. Mit der Verformung der Schraubenfeder 5 kann der austrittsnahe Längsabschnitt 2 des Wasserauslaufes angehoben und seitlich verschwenkt werden, so daß jede beliebige Stelle in einem Waschbecken mit dem Wasserstrahl erreicht werden kann, oder z.B. ein Topf, dessen oberer Rand höher als der Austritt 3 des Wasserauslaufes liegt, gefüllt werden kann. Der austrittsnahe Längsabschnitt 2 kann dabei am Topfrand abgestützt werden, so daß ein Halten unter Umständen gar nicht erforderlich ist. Durch die Rückstellwirkung der Schraubenfeder 5 kehrt der austrittsnahe Längsabschnitt 2, wenn er nicht mehr von Hand oder durch den Topfrand gehalten wird, in die gezeigte Normalstellung zurück. Zusätzlich zur Schwingungsdämpfung durch das Reiben des Balgens 8 an der Schraubenfeder 5 kann die Schraubenfeder 5 vorgespannt sein. Dadurch ist zur Auslenkung der Feder 5 aus der Normalstellung eine größere Kraft erforderlich und der austrittsnahe Längsabschnitt 2 kann weder unabsichtlich durch leichte Berührung, noch durch den,Druck des Wasserstrahles beim Öffnen des Ventils verschwenkt werden, und die Schwingungen bei Zurückkehren des austrittsnahen Längsabschnittes 2 in die Normalstellung sind gering.As can be seen in Fig. 2, the water through one Pressure hose 10 guided, the longitudinal sections 1, 2nd of the water outlet and the moving area within of the bellows 8 and the coil spring 5 passes through. The coil spring 5 can be transverse to it in any direction Longitudinal axis and thus transverse to the flow direction of the water be deformed. With the deformation of the coil spring 5 can the outlet near longitudinal section 2 of the water outlet raised and swiveled sideways so that anywhere in a sink with the water jet can be achieved, or e.g. a pot whose upper edge higher than the outlet 3 of the water outlet lies, can be filled. The exit close Longitudinal section 2 can be supported on the rim of the pot, so that holding may not be necessary at all is. Due to the restoring effect of the coil spring 5 returns the longitudinal section 2 near the outlet when it no longer held by hand or by the rim of the pot will return to the normal position shown. additionally for vibration damping by rubbing the bellows 8 the coil spring 5, the coil spring 5 can be biased his. This is to deflect the spring 5 the normal position requires a greater force and the longitudinal section 2 near the outlet cannot be unintentionally by light touch, or by the pressure of the Water jet are pivoted when opening the valve, and the vibrations upon return of the near-exit Longitudinal section 2 in the normal position are low.

In der in Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigten Variante wird die Bewegung des austrittsnahen Längsabschnittes 2 gegenüber dem armaturnahen, nichtbeweglichen Längsabschnitt 1 durch ein Gelenk in der Art eines Scharniergelenkes 4 ermöglicht. In the variant shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the movement of the longitudinal section 2 near the outlet relative to the armature-near, non-movable longitudinal section 1 by a Joint in the manner of a hinge joint 4 allows.

Die Wasserführung erfolgt auch hier über einen Schlauch 10, der die beiden Längsabschnitte 1, 2 sowie das Gelenk 4 durchsetzt. Aus dekorativen Gründen und um die Verschmutzung des Gelenkes 4 zu vermeiden, befindet sich das Gelenk 4 wiederum in einem Balgen 8. Als Rückstellelement dienen in diesem Fall Blattfedern 7, deren eines Ende in einer Halterung am armaturnahen Längsabschnitt 1 und deren anderes Ende an einer Halterung am austrittsnahen Längsabschnitt 2 aufgenommen ist. Zusätzlich stützen sich die Blattfedern 7 an der Gelenksachse 11 ab und wirken somit schwingungsdämpfend bei der Rückkehr des auslaufnahen Längsabschnittes in die Normalposition.Here too, water is routed through a hose 10, the two longitudinal sections 1, 2 and the joint 4 enforced. For decorative reasons and around pollution to avoid the joint 4, that is Joint 4 in turn in a bellows 8. As a restoring element serve in this case leaf springs 7, one end in a holder on the longitudinal section 1 near the fitting and its other end on a bracket on the outlet Longitudinal section 2 is added. In addition, support the leaf springs 7 on the hinge axis 11 and act thus vibration-damping when the outlet near the outlet returns Longitudinal section in the normal position.
