Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary device with at least one installed water outlet nozzle.
  • the sanitary device has a front wall with a front side facing the user, on which at least one opening forming a front edge with the front side is formed, to which at least one water outlet nozzle is fastened by holding means to a holder of the sanitary device.
  • a recess in the wall of the bath is attached, which is open to the outside. From there, a water outlet nozzle is used. Again, no part of the water outlet nozzle projects inward beyond the wall of the bathtub (FR2680970).
  • the object of the invention is to provide a sanitary device of the type mentioned, which has at least one easily and quickly installed water outlet nozzle, and in particular avoids the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art.
  • the sanitary device according to the invention is characterized in that the holding means engage behind the front of the front wall and the front edge of the opening is free of holding means.
  • Sanitary facilities in the sense of the application are, as already mentioned, for example, multi-functional showers or complete showers, walls of shower cubicles or columns, the bottom or pool edge of a hot tub or the like.
  • Water outlet nozzles may be showers, in particular side showers, effervescent nozzles, steam nozzles or the like.
  • the holder, on which the holding means engage is arranged offset from the front of the front wall.
  • the holder can therefore form a kind of setback front.
  • the holder is to form it integrally on the front wall. This saves separate support components, which still have to be mounted on the front wall.
  • the entire front wall is produced by continuous casting. This can be achieved in a simple manner that the front wall in the longitudinal direction has a continuous uniform material thickness.
  • the holder can be molded with the same.
  • the opening through which the water outlet nozzle is introduced into the front wall can be formed by a bore in the continuous casting. This is easy and quick to do.
  • a holder which holds the water outlet nozzle against rotation and secure against displacement in the opening.
  • a displacement in both the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the front wall, and a rotation in the opening to be prevented.
  • brackets for example, two on both sides of the opening at the back of the front wall attached angle serve that taper the opening in the insertion direction and prevent the water outlet first against pushing through the holder.
  • preferably circular recesses may be attached to the transverse limbs of the angle.
  • Another way to form the holder is a long angle, which is also attached to the back of the front wall and the transverse leg in Distance from the front behind the opening is.
  • longitudinal or transverse sliding protection can serve a passage through which a rear part of the water outlet opening is performed.
  • the holder forms a chamber with the front wall.
  • the chamber may be closed at least on one side in the width direction of the front wall. However, it is preferred if the chamber is closed on both sides in the width direction, so that no water or water vapor can penetrate to the rearwardly acting holding means.
  • the chamber can extend over the entire length of the front wall and form an open end with the front wall at both ends. This is particularly advantageous when the chamber is formed during continuous casting, so the chamber belongs to the strand and does not have to be prepared by further processing steps.
  • the open ends of the chamber are preferably lined, so that also no water or water vapor can penetrate into the chamber.
  • the front wall is curved perpendicular to its longitudinal direction, for example, in shower columns u.s.w.
  • the back wall of the chamber is preferably flat, so that an exact fixation and rapid fixing of the water outlet nozzle in the opening is possible by holding means available as standard parts.
  • the retaining means would have to be special parts, which are accordingly expensive.
  • the holder is designed as an abutment on which the water outlet nozzle can be brought into abutment, and serves to fix the water outlet nozzle in the opening.
  • abutment narrow, preferably circular edge portions of the holder whose diametrical distance is smaller than the diameter of the opening at the front of the front wall. Breakthrough at the rear wall of the chamber amounts.
  • the abutment may for example be formed by the edge of an opening in the rear wall of the chamber.
  • the water outlet nozzle is preferably fastened exclusively to the holder arranged behind the front wall.
  • the water outlet nozzle in the opening preferably on the abutment, serve holding means, which are preferably formed by a flange on the water outlet nozzle and a counterpart and the holder in particular the abutment on both sides.
  • the flange on the water outlet nozzle can thus be fixed in the direction of insertion on a projection of the holder, in particular the rear wall of the chamber and fixed by means of the counterpart on the abutment.
  • the counterpart can be a nut which is screwed onto a thread on the rear part of the water outlet nozzle and is supported on the rear side of the holder.
  • a tensioning element for example a spring.
  • the counterpart may be formed as a kind of annular collar which is attached to the water outlet nozzle, for example integrally formed.
  • springs can be formed, which are for example diametrically opposite to the central axis of the opening.
  • the springs can engage behind a flange formed on the holder, in particular a flange which is likewise integrally formed thereon.
  • a separate spring in the manner of a spring clip and to use the annular collar merely as a centering element.
  • the separate spring could also engage behind a flange on the bracket and itself supported on the collar, so that it is supported on the bracket and determines the water outlet nozzle.
  • At least one securing element can be formed on the holder, which performs this task.
  • the securing element may, for example, be a groove which cooperates with a nose formed complementary thereto at the water outlet opening. Particularly preferred are formed at the opening of the holder two diametrically opposite to the central axis of the opening opposite grooves.
  • other security elements are conceivable, for example springs on the holder, which engage in corresponding spring receptacles on the water outlet nozzle.
  • the water outlet nozzle may have a lining.
  • the cladding is preferably designed such that it terminates substantially flush with the front of the front wall.
  • a preferred cladding is for example a rosette. To prevent tilting of the panel with the leading edge of the opening, this may have a circumferential shadow gap.
  • the panel may be attached to the water outlet opening. However, it can also be integrally connected to the water outlet opening. Particularly preferably, the panel, in particular the rosette, is secured against rotation together with the water outlet nozzle. For example, serve to pin, which also engage in the grooves on the bracket.
