Definitions

  • the two can be relatively stiff Hoses of the swivel movement of the spout in the two end positions to oppose an undesirable resistance and the Hoses can, if they are or the inside of the spout Touch, unsightly scratching noises and also damage of the metal mesh. If a hose connection or a hose gets leaking, the leak water runs through the spout back and drips below the worktop. Because of this Leakage water often goes unnoticed for a long time, can grow larger Water damage occurs.
  • DE-OS 31 20 210 is a swivel spout with a mixing valve described at the free end, part of the above Partially avoids problems.
  • the front end of the hoses for Hot and cold water is rotatable but axially secured in holes the mixer housing inserted.
  • the hoses have to be then while pivoting the spout along its curved axis twist.
  • metal braids of hoses can always still rub against each other because both hoses are in the same direction have to turn.
  • the O-ring seal the pivoting hose ends will leak over time.
  • US-A-3'373'770 describes a pivoting fitting with a on a Sleeve attached swivel arm. Swivel arm and sleeve are common rotatable. By sealing rings delimited channels within However, the sleeve remain fixed in position.
  • US-A-3'726'318 and US-A-3'410'487 disclose generic outlet fittings with a mixing valve, which is arranged in a swivel spout is, and with a rotating part, which is arranged in a base part is and is rotatable in different positions.
  • the present invention is based on the object, a Swivel spout to create an unimpeded pivoting allows the spout and a smooth implementation of the Hot and cold water high pressure supply to the mixing valve allows. This object is achieved by the feature combination of the claim 1 solved.
  • Advantageous embodiments of Invention are defined in the dependent claims.
  • FIG. 1 it can be seen that a mixing valve 1 at the front of a Swivel spout 2 is integrated.
  • the mixing valve has a commercial cartridge 3 and an operating lever 4. By pulling the operating lever, the spout and through Turn the temperature set.
  • the mixed water flows through the channel 5 to a commercial outlet nozzle 6.
  • the feeder cold and hot water to the mixer is e.g. by two copper pipes 7 or flexible hoses, both in the mixer 1 as well as in the rotary part 8 at the connection 9, e.g. by soldering or screwing, are firmly inserted.
  • the rotary part 8 has a cylindrical portion 10, which in a corresponding Blind hole 11 of the base part 12 is rotatably inserted is.
  • the upper part 13 of the rotary member 8 has a diameter on, which corresponds to the inner diameter of the swivel spout 2, and it is with this e.g. firmly connected by soldering.
  • the cylindrical Lot 10 has two axially offset, circumferential grooves 14, 15, which establish the connection between the Cold and hot water inlet 16, 17 and the two branch lines 18, 19.
  • the seal between the two grooves 14, 15 takes place through the O-ring 20 and the seal to the outside the two O-rings 21.
  • These three O-rings together with the brake O-ring 22 a certain braking torque, something must be greater than that needed to rotate the operating lever 4 Torque.
  • the rotary member 8 has a continuous axial Relief bore 23 on.
  • the base part 12 is common with the worktop 43 Clamping means 44 firmly screwed.
  • a ceramic disc package 45th It consists of a solid Disc 46 and a rotatable disc 47.
  • a bottom plate 48 has below and above each a cam 49, the rotation opposite the base part 12 and opposite the fixed one Disc 46 ensures.
  • a cam 50 is the rotatable Disk 47 rotatably connected to the driving part 51.
  • a Eyebolt 52 with sliding washer 53 becomes the whole package 48, 46, 47 and 51 slightly pressed and axially fixed, such that between the fixed disc 46 and the rotatable disc 47 a Twist possible, but at the same time the sealing function of the two Slices is guaranteed.
  • Both discs 46, 47 each have a passage for cold water and a passage 55 for hot water on.
  • the geometry of these passages is designed this way (for example, by arcuate slots), that in each rotational position the swivel spout 2 these passages always remain completely open.
  • the relief hole 23 is provided and in Swivel spout 2 the vent hole 26. This will also ensures that any leaking water leak upwards must and the leading part swivel spout 2 with base part 12 can not affect.
  • Two sealing and brake O-rings 58 ensure the seal. They surrender, along with the frictional resistance of the two discs 46, 47, the required Torque resistance.
  • the swivel spout 2 By loosening the screw 59, the swivel spout 2 can be included Turning part 8 are pulled upwards.
  • a stud bolt 64 is screwed.
  • the fixing screw 59 is screwed transversely in this stud bolt 64 and it serves the axial fixation of the swivel spout 2.
  • the rotary member 8 are also two pieces of pipe 65 used tight and tight. They serve, together with the stud bolt 64, for non-rotatable connection between rotary member 8 and driving part 51.
  • a cam 66 on Sokkelteil 12 serves as Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung. He reaches into one corresponding groove 67 of the rotary member 8 a.
  • the cold and hot water supply 16 ', 17' may e.g. from copper pipes or consist of flexible hoses. These are with firmly connected to the base part 12.
  • Figures 7 and 8 is a section of a variant of Embodiment shown in Figures 1-3.
  • this variant are for the axial securing of the swivel spout 2 on the Base part 12 instead of the screw 27 ( Figure 2) cooperating Detent elements between rotary member 8 and base part 12 is arranged.
  • the embodiment with the screw 27 of Figure 2 has the Disadvantage that anyone, including unauthorized persons, the Release spout 2 and remove it. As the shut-off valves only at the end of the spout 2 are, the spout is always vacuum. By unauthorized or unintentional removal The spout would therefore run out of water uncontrollably.
  • the variant of Figures 7 and 8 prevents this with larger Safety.
  • the screw 78 For double security is still a screw 78 made of plastic screwed into the rotary member 8, the horizontal Leg 74 of the bracket 70 holds in its secure position. At the same time, the screw 78 serves as a rotation lock between Spout 2 and rotary part 8. The screw 78 also has the purpose to prevent the access of dirt and soap into the rotating mechanism.
  • the deliberate disassembly of the spout by a specialist happens as follows: First, the screw 78 is removed. Then Through the threaded hole, the horizontal leg 74 of the bracket 70 by means of a hook-shaped tool to the outside drawn and the spout simultaneously pulled upwards. Because of the circumferential groove 77 remains in the mounted State of the outlet 2 relative to the base part 12th pivotable.
  • bracket 70 instead of the bracket 70, other snap elements for Snapping into the circumferential groove 77 are used.
  • the springy Snap element can also on the base part 12 and the non-resilient associated latching element 8 may be provided on the rotating part.
