Der Rohrbelüfter 7 sitzt in einer abgestuften Bohrung des Sanitärarmaturenblocks, die nach Einsetzen des Rohrbelüfters durch einen Verschlussstopfen 10 abgeschlossen wird. Vom Ausgang des Rohrbelüfters 7 führt eine Wasserführung 9 zu dem Wannenabgang. FIG. 4 and 5 show sections through a further embodiment, which also corresponds to the invention. The receptacle 4 for the mixer device, such as a thermostatic valve, is constructed in a similar manner as in the embodiment according to Figure 1 to 3 , From the receptacle 4 for the mixer device, a water guide 15 leads to the receptacle 5 for a diverter valve, at whose output in turn a tube aerator 7 is arranged. The Rohrbelüfter 7 sits in a stepped bore of the sanitary fitting block, which is completed by the insertion of the Rohrbelüfters by a sealing plug 10. From the outlet of the pipe aerator 7, a water guide 9 leads to the trough outlet.

Die Figur 5 entspricht im Wesentlichen der Figur 3, zeigt also zwei Rückflussverhinderer 11, 12 in den Eingangsanschlüssen für kaltes und warmes Wasser.The FIG. 5 essentially corresponds to the FIG. 3 , Thus, shows two backflow preventers 11, 12 in the input ports for cold and hot water.

Die Figuren 6 und 7 (rechte Gabelung) zeigen Funktionsschemata für mögliche Anordnungen von Rückflussverhinderern, Absperreinrichtungen, Mischeinrichtungen und Rohrbelüftern bei einem Sanitärarmaturenblock, wie er von der Erfindung vorgeschlagenen wird und wie er in den Figuren 1 bis 5 im Detail dargestellt ist.The FIGS. 6 and 7 (right fork) show functional diagrams for possible arrangements of non-return valves, shut-off devices, mixing devices and pipe aerators in a sanitary fitting block, as proposed by the invention and as shown in the FIGS. 1 to 5 is shown in detail.

In Figur 6 ist in jedem Eingangsanschluss je ein Rückflussverhinderer 11, 12 angeordnet. Die Wasserführungen führen zu einer Mischereinrichtung 16, stromab von der eine Absperreinrichtung 17 angeordnet ist. Von der Absperreinrichtung 17 führen zwei Ausgangsanschlüsse zu einem Ausgang der Sanitärarmatur, von denen einer beispielsweise zu einer Handbrause führt. Im anderen Abgang ist ein Rohrbelüfter 7 angebracht. Dieser Abgang ist also durch die Rückflussverhinderer 11, 12 und den Rohrbelüfter 7 in Reihe liegend abgesichert. Bei der Absperreinrichtung 17 kann es sich um eine Absperreinrichtung mit gleichzeitiger Umschalteinrichtung handeln, so dass die beiden Abgänge einzeln angesteuert werden können. Bei dem Funktionsschema der Figur 6 sind die Rückflussverhinderer 11, 12 vorhanden, um eine Querströmung aus einem Eingang in den anderen Eingang zu verhindern und gleichzeitig den Handbrausenabgang abzusichern.In FIG. 6 in each input port depending a backflow preventer 11, 12 is arranged. The water guides lead to a mixer device 16, downstream of which a shut-off device 17 is arranged. From the shut-off device 17 lead two output terminals to an output of the sanitary fitting, one of which leads, for example, to a hand shower. In the other finish a pipe aerator 7 is attached. This departure is so through the Backflow preventer 11, 12 and the Rohrbelüfter 7 secured lying in series. In the shut-off device 17 may be a shut-off device with simultaneous switching device, so that the two outlets can be controlled individually. In the functional scheme of FIG. 6 the non-return valves 11, 12 are provided to prevent cross-flow from an entrance to the other entrance and at the same time to secure the hand shower outlet.

Figur 7 zeigt ein Funktionsschema, das sich ebenfalls mit einem Sanitärarmaturenblock nach der Erfindung verwirklichen lässt (siehe Fig. 7, rechte Gabelung). Hier sind in beiden Eingangsanschlüssen Absperrventile vorhanden. Selbstverständlich kann es sich dabei um Absperrventile handeln, die von einer gemeinsamen Einrichtung gesteuert werden. Stromab der beiden Absperrventile 18 ist eine Mischeinrichtung 16 angeordnet. Es kann sich bei der Mischereinrichtung 16 und den beiden stromauf angeordneten Absperreinrichtungen um eine gemeinsame Baueinheit handeln, die in einer einzigen Aufnahme 4 angebracht werden kann. Bei dieser Art der Ausbildung des Ventils, also mit Absperreinrichtungen 18 vor dem Mischventil 16, brauchen in den Eingangsanschlüssen keine Rückflussverhinderer angeordnet zu sein. FIG. 7 shows a functional diagram, which can also be realized with a sanitary fitting block according to the invention (see Fig. 7 , right fork). Here are in both input ports shut-off valves available. Of course, these may be shut-off valves, which are controlled by a common device. Downstream of the two shut-off valves 18, a mixing device 16 is arranged. The mixing device 16 and the two upstream shut-off devices can be a common structural unit which can be mounted in a single receptacle 4. In this type of construction of the valve, ie with shut-off devices 18 in front of the mixing valve 16, no backflow preventers need to be arranged in the inlet connections.

Stromab der Mischereinrichtung 16 ist nun ein weiteres Ventil 19 angeordnet, bei dem es sich in erster Linie um ein Umstellerventil handelt. Dieses Umstellerventil 19 dient dazu, zwischen drei verschiedenen Abgängen umzuschalten, von denen in einem Abgang nur ein Rückflussverhinderer 11 angeordnet ist, während in einem anderen Abgang eine Kombination aus einem Rückflussverhinderer 12 und einem Rohrbelüfter 7 angebracht ist. Ein dritter Abgang hat keine weitere Sicherungseinrichtung.Downstream of the mixing device 16, a further valve 19 is now arranged, which is primarily a diverter valve. This diverter valve 19 serves to switch between three different outlets, of which in a departure only one backflow preventer 11 is arranged, while in another outlet a combination of a backflow preventer 12 and a Rohrbelüfter 7 is attached. A third exit has no further security device.
