Abstract

The hydrant has a valve housing and a narrowed diameter leading to the valve housing. A displaceably located check piston (9) is contained in the valve housing (4). The hydrant has a double seal with a cover pipe (3) and a valve housing (4) with a belly-shaped widened formation, to which is fitted a closure mechanism (7) with a valve piston (6). The check piston in the edge area of the diameter narrowed formation can be so far reduced radially in diameter that it can be guided out of the valve housing past the diameter narrowed formation.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Hydranten mit Doppelabdichtung, mit einem Mantelrohr und einem an das Wasserleitungsnetz anschließbaren, eine bauchförmige Erweiterung aufweisenden Ventilgehäuse, dem ein Schließmechanismus mit einem Ventilkolben zugeordnet ist, der über ein durch das Mantelrohr hindurchgeführtes Kolbengestänge und einen an dessen oberem Ende vorgesehenen Betätigungsmechanismus aus der Verschließstellung, in der der Ventilkolben flaschenkorkenartig eine zum Ventilgehäuse führende Durchmesserverengung durchsetzt, in die Öffnungsstellung überführbar ist, und umgekehrt, und dem ein im Ventilgehäuse gelagerter Rückschlagkolben zugeordnet ist, der bei Überführung des Ventilkolbens in den Bereich des Mantelrohrs rückschlagventilartig an der Durchmesserverengung zur Anlage gelangt und seinerseits eine Abdichtung bewirkt. Bei dem Hydranten kann es sich um einen Unterflurhydranten oder einen Oberflurhydranten handeln.The invention relates to a hydrant with double seal, with a Jacket pipe and a connectable to the water supply network, a bulbous extension having valve housing, which a closing mechanism with a valve piston is assigned, which has a guided through the jacket tube piston rod and a provided at the upper end of the actuating mechanism of the Closing position in which the valve piston bottle cork one to the valve housing penetrated leading diameter constriction, can be converted into the open position, and vice versa, and associated with a valve housing mounted in the check piston, the upon transfer of the valve piston in the region of the jacket tube non-return valve on the Diameter constriction reaches the plant and in turn causes a seal. In which Hydrants can be an underfloor hydrant or a hydrant above ground.

Bei einem bekannten Hydranten mit Doppelabdichtung dieser Art (Bedienungsanleitung der Firma Schmieding für den Unterflurhydranten Typ 393/394) wird der Schließvorgang nach Art eines Flaschenkorkens durch radiale Verpressung des axial beweglichen Ventilkolbens ermöglicht. Ein Ausbau des Schließsystems beispielsweise zu Wartungsarbeiten ist bei diesem Hydranten ohne problematische Unterbrechung der Wasserversorgung möglich, da bei Überführung des Ventilkolbens in den Bereich des Mantelrohrs der Rückschlagkolben die Abdichtung des von der Versorgungsleitung anstehenden Druckes übernimmt. Ein Ausbau, z.B. ein Austausch des Rückschlagkolbens zu Wartungsarbeiten ist allerdings im eingebauten Unterflurhydranten nicht möglich. Es bedarf vielmehr einer Freilegung des Hydranten vor seiner Trennung vom Wasserleitungsnetz, d.h. entsprechender Erdarbeiten.In a known hydrant with double seal of this type (instruction manual the company Schmieding for the underfloor hydrant type 393/394) is the closing process in the manner of a bottle cork by radial compression of the axially movable valve piston allows. An expansion of the locking system, for example, for maintenance is possible with this hydrant without problematic interruption of the water supply, because at the transfer of the valve piston in the region of the jacket tube of the check piston the sealing of the pending from the supply line pressure takes over. An expansion, e.g. an exchange of the check piston for maintenance is, however, in the built-in Underground hydrants not possible. It rather requires an exposure of the hydrant before its separation from the water mains, i. appropriate earthworks.

Derartige Hydranten gehören zum Stand der Technik gemäß DE 25 13 712 A sowie DE 30 31 520 A1.Such hydrants belong to the prior art according to DE 25 13 712 A and DE 30 31 520 A1.

Weiterhin sind Hydranten mit Doppelabdichtung vorbekannt (DE 41 19 104 A1, DE 41 19 105 A1 sowie DE 28 03 189 A1), bei denen der Rückschlagkolben jeweils ebenfalls nicht soweit im Durchmesser verringerbar ist, daß er, ohne eine Trennung des Hydranten vom Wasserleitungsnetz vornehmen zu müssen, aus dem Ventilgehäuse entnommen werden kann.Furthermore, hydrants with double seal are previously known (DE 41 19 104 A1, DE 41 19 105 A1 and DE 28 03 189 A1), in which the non-return piston in each case also not so far in diameter is reducible that he, without a separation of the hydrant to make from the water mains, taken from the valve body can be.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Hydranten der eingangs genannten Art so weiter auszubilden, daß er nicht freigelegt werden muß und entsprechende Erdarbeiten vor seiner Trennung vom Wasserleitungsnetz entbehrlich sind, um Zugang zum Ventilgehäuse und damit zum Rückschlagkolben zu schaffen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebene Weiterbildung bekannter Hydranten gelöst. The invention is based on the object, the hydrant of the aforementioned To train the art so that it does not have to be exposed and appropriate Earthworks prior to its separation from the water mains are dispensable to access the Valve housing and thus to create the check piston. This task is done by the in the characterizing part of claim 1 specified training Hydrants solved.

In besonders vorteilhafter Weise begrenzen die Rastfinger des Krallenrings einen radial nach innen offenen Ringraum, in den das Stützelement einführbar ist. Zweckmäßigerweise besteht der Krallenring aus spritzbarem, elastisch biegsamem Kunststoff ausreichender Härte und Steifigkeit, wie z.B. Polyamid. In a particularly advantageous manner, the latching fingers of the claw ring define a radial inwardly open annular space into which the support element is insertable. Conveniently, The claw ring consists of injectable, elastically flexible plastic sufficient hardness and rigidity, e.g. Polyamide.

Als in baulicher Hinsicht besonders zweckmäßig hat sich eine Ausführung erwiesen, bei der das Stützelement durch einen Sicherungsring mit einer Umfangswulst gebildet ist, die unter axialer Relativverschiebung in den Ringraum des Krallenrings einführbar bzw. aus ihm entnehmbar ist.As structurally particularly expedient execution has proven in which the support element is formed by a retaining ring with a peripheral bead, the under axial relative displacement in the annulus of the claw ring insertable or out of it is removable.

An seiner Außenseite weist der Sicherungsring zweckmäßigerweise eine Umfangsnut zur Aufnahme eines aus ihr vorstehenden, bei Wirksamwerden des Rückschlagkolbens im Randbereich der Durchmesserverengung zur Anlage gelangenden, elastischen Dichtungsring.On its outer side, the retaining ring expediently has a circumferential groove for receiving a projecting from her, when the non-return piston in Edge region of the diameter constriction coming to rest, elastic sealing ring.

Als in baulicher Hinsicht sehr wirksam hat sich in weiterer Ausgestaltung das Merkmal erwiesen, wonach der Sicherungsring einen zentralen, etwa zylindrischen Kolbendeckel umgibt, der einen radial nach außen vorspringenden Rand aufweist und daß der Sicherungsring einen radial nach innen vorstehenden Wulst besitzt, der den vorspringenden Rand des Kolbendeckels in einem Abstand hintergreift, der die axiale Relativverschiebbarkeit des Sicherungsrings in bezug auf den Kolbendeckel und damit den Krallenring zur Lösung der Umfangswulst aus dem Ringraum begrenzt.As structurally very effective in a further embodiment has the feature proved, according to which the retaining ring surrounds a central, approximately cylindrical piston cover, having a radially outwardly projecting edge and that the locking ring has a radially inwardly projecting bead, the protruding edge of the piston cover engages behind at a distance that the axial Relativverschiebbarkeit the locking ring with respect to the piston cover and thus the claw ring to solve the Peripheral bead limited from the annulus.

Um den Sicherungsring zu lösen können unterschiedliche Hilfsmaßnahmen getroffen werden. In besonders zweckmäßiger Weise ist der Sicherungsring mit einer sich quer zu seiner Achse erstreckenden Fläche versehen, an der ein Greifwerkzeug festlegbar ist, um den Sicherungsring relativ zum Kolbendeckel axial zu verschieben und damit den Umfangswulst des Krallenrings vom Sicherungsring zu lösen.To solve the circlip can take different measures become. In a particularly advantageous manner, the retaining ring with a transverse to his Provided axis extending surface on which a gripping tool is fixed to the To move the retaining ring axially relative to the piston cover and thus the circumferential bead to release the claw ring from the circlip.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die sich quer erstreckende Fläche durch eine umlaufende Hinterschneidung des Sicherungsrings gebildet ist.It is very advantageous if the transversely extending surface by a circumferential Undercut of the securing ring is formed.

Die Biegbarkeit der Rastfinger des Krallenrings könnte durch geeignete Wahl des Ringmaterials erfolgen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es jedoch, wenn die Biegbarkeit der Rastfinger des Krallenrings durch eine örtliche Schwächung des Materials zwischen den Fingern und einem die Rastfinger tragenden Basisring erzielt ist.The flexibility of the detent fingers of the claw ring could by suitable choice of Ring material done. However, it is particularly advantageous if the bendability of the latching fingers of the claw ring by a local weakening of the material between the fingers and a latch finger bearing base ring is achieved.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, umfaßt der Hydrant ein über das Niveau der Erdoberfläche vorstehendes Gehäuse 1 mit Austrittsmündungen 2. An das Mantelrohr 3 schließt sich ein Ventilgehäuse 4 mit bauchförmiger Erweiterung an. Dieses führt zur im Erdboden verlegten, nicht dargestellten Versorgungsleitung. Dem Ventilgehäuse 4 ist ein Schließmechanismus mit einem Ventilkolben 5 zugeordnet, der über ein durch das Mantelrohr 3 hindurchgeführtes Kolbengestänge 6 und einen an dessen oberem Ende vorgesehenen Betätigungsmechanismus 7 steuerbar ist. Mit Hilfe des Betätigungsmechanismus 7 läßt sich der Ventilkolben 5 über das Kolbengestänge 6 aus der Verschließstellung, in der der Ventilkolben 5 flaschenkorkartig eine zum Ventilgehäuse 4 führende Durchmesserverengung 8 durchsetzt, in die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Öffnungsstellung überführen, und umgekehrt.As can be seen from Fig. 1, the hydrant comprises one above the level of the earth's surface protruding housing 1 with outlet openings 2. At the casing pipe 3 is followed Valve housing 4 with bulbous extension on. This leads to the buried ground, not shown supply line. The valve housing 4 is a locking mechanism with associated with a valve piston 5, which passes over a through the jacket tube 3 Piston rod 6 and provided at the upper end actuating mechanism 7 is controllable. With the help of the actuating mechanism 7, the valve piston 5 can be via the piston rod 6 from the Verschließstellung in which the valve piston 5 bottle cork-like a leading to the valve housing 4 diameter constriction 8 passes through, in convert the open position shown in Fig. 1, and vice versa.

In Fig. 2 ist das Ventilgehäuse 4 mit dem darin angeordneten Ventilkolben 5 und dem unteren Ende des Kolbengestänges 6 in größerem Maßstab dargestellt. Aus dieser Ansicht geht auch hervor, daß dem Ventilkolben 5 ein im Ventilgehäuse 4 gelagerter Rückschlagkolben 9 zugeordnet ist, der an ihm anliegt und bei Überführung des Ventilkolbens 5 in den Bereich des Mantelrohrs 3, d.h. bei Hindurchführung der flaschenkorkenartig arbeitenden Dichtfläche 10 durch die Durchmesserverengung 8 nach oben rückschlagventilartig an der Durchmesserverengung 8 zur Anlage gelangt und seinerseits eine Abdichtung bewirkt. Der Rückschlagkolben 9 und der Ventilkolben 5 bilden zusammen mit ihren jeweiligen Sitzen die Doppeldichtung.In Fig. 2, the valve housing 4 with the valve piston 5 arranged therein and the lower end of the piston rod 6 shown on a larger scale. From this view also shows that the valve piston 5 a mounted in the valve housing 4 check piston 9 is assigned, which rests against it and at the transfer of the valve piston 5 in the Area of the jacket tube 3, i. when passing through the bottle cork-like working Sealing surface 10 through the diameter constriction 8 upwardly check valve on the Diameter constriction 8 comes to the plant and in turn causes a seal. Of the Non-return piston 9 and the valve piston 5 form together with their respective seats Double seal.

Bei in Fig. 2 gezeigter Lage der Kolben kann das unten in den Hydranten eintretende Wasser an ihnen vorbei durch das Mantelrohr 3 zu den Austrittsmündungen 2 fließen. When shown in Fig. 2 position of the piston, the bottom entering the hydrant Water flow past them through the jacket tube 3 to the outlet openings 2.

Im Fall einer erforderlichen Wartung des Ventilkolbens 5 mit seinem ihn steuernden Mechanismus läßt er sich durch die Verengung 8 hindurch nach oben überführen, und der Rückschlagkolben 9 übernimmt die Abdichtung. Aufgrund dieser Doppelabdichtung ist somit eine Wartung möglich, ohne zu diesem Zweck das Wasserleitungsnetz abschalten zu müssen. Für den Fall einer erforderlichen Wartung oder Reparatur des Rückschlagkolbens und seiner Führung bedarf es jedoch nicht nur der Abtrennung des Wassernetzes sondern auch einer Freilegung und Abtrennung des Hydranten vom Netz, um Zugang von unten zum Ventilgehäuse 4 zu schaffen.In the case of a required maintenance of the valve piston 5 with its mechanism controlling it he can be transferred through the constriction 8 upwards, and the non-return piston 9 takes over the seal. Because of this double seal is thus a Maintenance possible without having to switch off the water supply network for this purpose. For the case of required maintenance or repair of the check piston and its guide However, not only the separation of the water network but also an exposure is required and separation of the hydrant from the network to access from below to the valve housing. 4 to accomplish.

Erfindungsgemäß ist dies nicht mehr erforderlich, da auch dieses Ventilgehäuse 4 in montiertem Zustand des Hydranten von oben zugänglich ist, allerdings nach dem Abtrennen des Wasserleitungsnetzes.According to the invention, this is no longer necessary since this valve housing 4 in mounted state of the hydrant is accessible from above, but after separation of the water supply network.

Die Maßnahmen, die dies zulassen, sind anhand der folgenden Fig. 3 bis 6, die nur die inneren Konturen der Durchmesserverengung und des Ventilgehäuses 4 wiedergeben, nicht aber den oberhalb des Rückschlagkolbens 9 gelagerten und ihn auf die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Weise von oben beaufschlagenden Ventilkolben 5 mit der flaschenkorkartigen Dichtfläche 10, erläutert.The measures that permit this are based on the following FIGS. 3 to 6, which are only the do not reflect internal contours of the diameter constriction and the valve housing 4 but the above the check piston 9 and stored him in the manner shown in Fig. 2 from above acting on the valve piston 5 with the bottle cork-like sealing surface 10, explained.

Wie ersichtlich, ist der im Ventilgehäuse 4 verschiebbar gelagerte Rückschlagkolben 9 aus seiner die rückschlagventilartige Abdichtung im Randbereich 11 der Durchmesserverengung 8 des Ventilgehäuses 4 gewährleistenden Form und Größe radial im Durchmesser so weit verkleinerbar, daß er aus dem Ventilgehäuse 4 an dessen Durchmesserverengung 8 vorbei herausführbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck besteht der Rückschlagkolben 9 aus mehreren miteinander verbindbaren Kolbenelementen, d.h. aus mindestens einem Stützelement 14 und einem im Bereich des Dichtungssitzes des Rückschlagkolbens 9 angeordneten, über den Durchmesser der Durchmesserverengung 8 des Ventilgehäuses 4 radial vorstehenden Krallenring 12. Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, umfaßt er eine Mehrzahl von krallenartigen Rastfingern 13. An ihrem inneren Umfang erfassen diese Rastfinger 13 in montiertem Zustand des Rückschlagkolbens das Stützelement 14. Über dieses Stützelement 14 ist der im Wasserleitungsnetz herrschende Wasserdruck vom Rückschlagkolben 9 auf den Dichtungssitz im Randbereich 11 der Durchmesserverengung 8 des Ventilgehäuses 4 übertragbar. Die Rastfinger 13 sind nach Freigabe des Stützelements 14 unter Durchmesserverringerung zur Hindurchführung durch die Durchmesserverengung 8 elastisch radial nach innen biegbar. As can be seen, the non-return piston 9 mounted slidably in the valve housing 4 is 9 from his the check valve-like seal in the edge region 11 of the diameter constriction 8 of the valve housing 4 ensuring shape and size radially in diameter so far smaller, that he from the valve housing 4 at the diameter constriction 8 over is feasible. For this purpose, the check piston 9 consists of several together connectable piston elements, i. from at least one support element 14 and one in the region of the seal seat the check piston 9 arranged over the diameter of the diameter constriction 8 of the valve housing 4 radially protruding claw ring 12. As shown in Fig. 4, it comprises a Plurality of claw-like detent fingers 13. At their inner periphery, these detent fingers engage 13 in the assembled state of the non-return piston, the support member 14. About this support element 14 is the pressure prevailing in the water supply network water pressure from the check piston 9 on the Seal seat in the edge region 11 of the diameter constriction 8 of the valve housing 4 transferable. The locking fingers 13 are after release of the support member 14 under diameter reduction for passage through the diameter constriction 8 elastically radially inwardly bendable.

Um den Druck zu übertragen, aber die Biegung zu ermöglichen, besteht der Krallenring aus spritzbarem, elastisch biegsamem Kunststoff ausreichender Härte und Steifigkeit, wie z.B. Polyamid.To transfer the pressure, but to allow the bend, there is the claw ring made of injectable, elastically flexible plastic of sufficient hardness and rigidity, such as e.g. Polyamide.

Die Zeichnung 5 zeigt, daß die Rastfinger 13 des Krallenrings 12 einen radial nach innen offenen Ringraum 15 begrenzen, in den das Stützelement 14 einführbar ist. Das Stützelement 14 ist durch einen Teil eines Sicherungsrings 16, nämlich eine Umfangswulst dieses Rings gebildet. Diese umfangswulst ist unter axialer Relativverschiebung in den Ringraum 15 des krallenrings 12 einführbar bzw. aus ihm herausziehbar.The drawing 5 shows that the locking fingers 13 of the claw ring 12 a radially inwardly limit open annular space 15, in which the support member 14 is inserted. The support element 14 is a part of a securing ring 16, namely a circumferential bead of this ring educated. This circumferential bead is under axial relative displacement in the annular space 15 of the claw ring 12 inserted or pulled out of it.

An seiner Außenseite weist der Sicherungsring 16 eine Umfangsnut 17 zur Aufnahme eines aus ihr vorstehenden, bei Wirksamwerden des Rückschlagkolbens 9 im Randbereich 11 der Durchmesserverengung 8 zur Anlage gelangenden, elastischen Dichtungsrings 18 auf. In den Fig. 3 bis 5 ist dieser Dichtungsring 18 jeweils in entspannter Lage dargestellt, d.h. in der Lage, die er einnehmen würde, wenn die innere Kontur der Durchmesserverengung 8 bzw. des Ventilgehäuses 4 mit dem Dichtungssitz nicht vorhanden wäre.On its outer side, the retaining ring 16 has a circumferential groove 17 for receiving one of her above, when the check piston 9 in the edge region 11 the diameter constriction 8 comes to rest, elastic sealing ring 18 on. In 3 to 5, this sealing ring 18 is shown in each case in a relaxed position, i. in the Position that he would take if the inner contour of the diameter constriction 8 or the valve housing 4 would not be present with the seal seat.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, besteht der Rückschlagkolben 9 aus einem Kegelkörper 19, in den von oben koaxial ein etwa zylindrischer Kolbendeckel 20 eingesetzt und mit seinem unteren Rand 21 auf einer Abstufung 22 des Kegelkörpers 19 mit letzterem verklebt oder verschweißt ist. Am Außenumfang weist der Kolbendeckel 20 einen radial nach außen vorspringenden Rand 23 auf, der von einem radial nach innen vorstehenden Wulst 24 des Sicherungsrings 16 in einem Abstand hintergriffen wird, der die axiale Relativverschiebbarkeit des Sicherungsrings 16 in bezug auf den Kolbendeckel 20 und damit den Krallenring 12 bei Lösung der Umfangswulst aus dem Ringraum 15 begrenzt. In montiertem Zustand, d.h. bei Eingriffslage der Umfangswulst des Sicherungsrings 16 im Ringraum 15 des Krallenrings 12 steht der obere Rand des Sicherungsrings 16 über die Stirnfläche des Kolbendeckels 20 so weit vor, daß in eine in dieser umlaufenden Hinterschneidung 25 ein nicht dargestelltes Greifwerkzeug einführbar ist, das eine axiale Kraft auf die Stirnfläche des Kolbendeckels 20 ausübt und gleichzeitig eine Gegenkraft auf die Hinterschneidung 25 des Sicherungsrings 16 aufbringt und so den Sicherungsring 16 aus seiner Verankerung zieht, d.h. die Umfangswulst aus dem Ringraum 15.As can be seen from the drawing, the non-return piston 9 consists of a cone body 19, in the coaxial from above a roughly cylindrical piston cover 20 used and with glued to its lower edge 21 on a gradation 22 of the cone body 19 with the latter or welded. On the outer circumference, the piston cover 20 has a radially outward projecting edge 23 of a radially inwardly projecting bead 24 of the Circlip 16 is engaged behind at a distance that the axial Relativverschiebbarkeit the securing ring 16 with respect to the piston cover 20 and thus the claw ring 12 at Solution of the peripheral bead limited from the annular space 15. In the assembled state, i. at Engagement position of the peripheral bead of the locking ring 16 in the annular space 15 of the claw ring 12 is the upper edge of the locking ring 16 over the end face of the piston cover 20 so far in that in a circumferential in this undercut 25 an unillustrated gripping tool is insertable, which exerts an axial force on the end face of the piston cover 20 and at the same time a counterforce on the undercut 25 of the locking ring 16 applies and so pull the circlip 16 out of its anchorage, i. the circumferential bead from the annulus 15th

Aus der Zeichnung ergibt sich, daß der Krallenring 12 durch einen Basisring 26 mit sich schräg nach außen und oben erstreckenden Rastfingern 13 gebildet ist, deren Biegbarkeit radial nach innen in bezug auf den Basisring durch eine örtliche Materialschwächung zwischen den Rastfingern 13 und dem Basisring 26 gebildet ist.From the drawing shows that the claw ring 12 by a base ring 26 with it obliquely outwardly and upwardly extending latching fingers 13 is formed, the bendability radially inwardly with respect to the base ring by a local material weakening between the latching fingers 13 and the base ring 26 is formed.

Claims (9)

  1. A hydrant with a double seal, comprising a jacket pipe (3) and a valve housing (4) that can be connected to the water supply network and contains a bulge-shaped widening, wherein a shut-off mechanism with a valve piston (5) is assigned to the valve housing and said valve piston can be displaced from the shut-off position, in which the valve piston extends through a diameter contraction (8) leading to the valve housing similar to a bottle cork, into the open position and vice versa by means of a piston rod assembly (6) that extends through the jacket pipe and an actuating mechanism (7) provided on its upper end, and wherein a check piston (9) arranged in the valve housing is assigned to the valve piston and, when displacing the valve piston (5) into the region of the jacket pipe (3), comes in contact with the edge region (11) of the diameter contraction similar to a check valve such that a seal is produced, characterized in that the diameter of the check piston (9) that is displaceably arranged in the valve housing (4) can be radially reduced relative to its original shape and size that ensure the check valve-like seal in the edge region (11) of the diameter contraction (8) of the valve housing (4), namely to such a degree that it can be removed from the valve housing past its diameter contraction (8), wherein the check piston (9) consists of several piston elements that can be connected to one another, i.e., of at least one support element (14) and a claw ring (12) that is arranged in the region of the seal produced by the check piston (9) and radially protrudes over the diameter of the diameter contraction (8) of the valve housing (4), wherein said claw ring contains a series of claw-like locking fingers (13) that take hold of the support element (14) on their inner circumference in the mounted state of the check piston (9), wherein said support element makes it possible to transmit the water pressure in the water supply network from the piston (9) onto the edge region (11) of the diameter contraction (8) of the valve housing (4), and wherein said locking fingers can, after releasing the support element (14), be elastically bent radially inward such that the diameter is reduced and the fingers are able to pass through the diameter contraction (8).
  2. The hydrant according to Claim 1, characterized in that the locking fingers (13) of the claw ring (12) limit an annular space (15) that is open radially inward and into which the support element (14) can be inserted.
  3. The hydrant according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the claw ring (12) consist of an elastically bendable plastic material that can be injection-moulded and has a sufficient hardness and rigidity, for example, polyamide.
  4. The hydrant according to one of Claims 1-3, characterized in that the support element (14) is formed by a locking ring (16) with a peripheral bead that can be respectively inserted into and removed from the annular chamber (15) of the claw ring (12) in the form of an axial relative displacement.
  5. The hydrant according to Claim 4, characterized in that the outer side of the locking ring (16) contains a peripheral groove (17) for accommodating an elastic ring seal (18) protruding therefrom, wherein said ring seal comes in contact with the diameter contraction (8) in the edge region (11) when the check piston (9) becomes active.
  6. The hydrant according to Claim 4 or 5, characterized in that the locking ring (16) encompasses a central, approximately cylindrical piston cover (20) with an edge (23) that protrudes radially outward, and in that the locking ring (16) contains a bead (24) that protrudes radially inward and engages behind the protruding edge (23) of the piston cover (20) a certain distance therefrom and limits the ability of the locking ring (16) to be axially displaced relative to the piston cover (20) and consequently the claw ring (12) in order to remove the peripheral bead from the annular chamber (15).
  7. The hydrant according to one of Claims 4-6, characterized in that the locking ring (16) contains a surface that extends transverse to its axis and serves for attaching a gripping tool in order to axially displace the locking ring relative to the piston cover (20) and thusly remove the locking ring (16) from the claw ring (12).
  8. The hydrant according to Claim 7, characterized in that the transversely extending surface is formed by a peripheral undercut (25) of the locking ring (16).
  9. The hydrant according to one of Claims 1-8, characterized in that a localized weakening of the material between the fingers and a base ring (26) that carries the locking fingers (13) makes it possible to bend the locking fingers (13) of the claw ring (12).
