Definitions

  • the present invention specifically relates to a pop-up waste control device of the type mentioned above and, more precisely, to a double control, i.e. one with two individual Bowden cables, intended for the two pop-up wastes of the two waste assemblies of a double-bowl sink.
  • Devices of this type are known in the art and provide for example a single control knob operating a cam, which in turn operates the two Bowden cables; the cam has a 4-position profile, said positions in practice corresponding to the possible positions that can be taken on by the two pop-up wastes of the respective sinks, i.e.: both open, both closed, only the right one open, only the right one closed.
  • a device of this type has disadvantages of two types: on the one hand, in order to bring a first plug from the open into the closed position, the cam control must necessarily pass through a position interfering with the position of the second plug and, on the other hand, the selection of the opening and closing positions of the plugs is not immediately detectable by the user, except through marks on the sink which often become invisible after a short period of use of the sink itself.
  • This result is obtained in a structure like the one of DE-GM-1821694 , thanks to the features mentioned in the attached claim 1.
  • fig. 1 is an exploded prospective view of a device according to the invention.
  • figg. 2 and 3 are prospective views illustrating the respective rotating bodies for the operation of the Bowden cables;
  • fig. 4 is a highly enlarged prospective view, with partially removed parts, of a flanged cylindrical box which is part of the device according to the invention
  • fig. 5 is a view of the same bodies illustrated in figg. 2 and 3, assembled together;
  • fig. 6 is a prospective, only partially exploded view, of the device according to the invention.
  • fig. 1 In fig. 1 is illustrated a cylindrical box 1, with its top part ending in a ring flange 1a, from whose periphery a pin 2 projects, with an axis parallel to the axis of the box 1.
  • This box 1 is intended to house a first bell 3 and, concentrically, a second bell 4; both bells 3, 4 have their top parts ending in a ring flange 3a, 4a. It is worth pointing out here that, whereas the cylindrical bodies of the bells 3 and 4 have smaller - or rather, decreasing - outer diameters in respect of the inner diameter of the box 1, in order to be housed one inside the other, the ring flanges 1a, 3a, 4a all have an identical outer diameter, for the function better illustrated in the following.
  • the pin 2 has a height at least equal to the thickness of the overlapping flanges 3a, 4a, as better described in the following.
  • the flanged bells 3, 4 have an oblique cam slot 5 in the vertical surface of their cylindrical wall.
  • the box 1 houses two sliding bodies 6, 7, each having a pin 6b, 7b at its top end, capable of cooperating with said oblique cam slots 5: the pin 6b is able to engage with the oblique cam slot 5 in the wall of the bell 3, from the inside thereof ( fig. 1 ), and the pin 7b is able to respectively engage with the slot 5 in the wall of the bell 4, from the outside thereof, for the function better described in the following.
  • the pin 6b of the slide 6 projects from a thin top part thereof, which is intended to be housed in the space between the bell 3 and the bell 4 (as is evident from fig. 2 ); the pin 7b projects instead from the wall of the slide 7, which is intended to be housed between the bell 4 and the inner wall of the box 1, in a recess 3d obtained by indenting the wall of the bell 3 (as is evident from fig. 5 ).
  • the slides 6, 7 further have, at their bottom end, a coupling 6a, 7a for a Bowden-type transmission cable (marked with B in figure 6 ).
  • said coupling is of a removable type, for ease of mounting and/or replacing of the Bowden cable.
  • Each of the two slides 6 and 7 further has a pair of rectangular-section axial ribs 8, projecting from the side opposite to the pin 7b and from the same side as the pin 6b, respectively (as is again evident from fig. 1 ).
  • Both the ribs 8 of the slide 6 and the ribs 8 of the slide 7 are capable of engaging with guide slots formed between thin axial ribs 9 projecting from the inner wall of the box 1 (see fig. 4 ).
  • the thin guide ribs 9 allow the slides 6, 7 to move vertically only.
  • the box 1 houses anti-friction gaskets, and precisely a first gasket 10 and a second gasket 11, both having a shape determined by the combination of an anular disc and a cylindrical guide appendage 10a, 11a.
  • These gaskets are arranged between the box 1 and the first bell 3, and between the first bell 3 and the second bell 4, respectively. Thanks to these gaskets 10 and 11, any direct contact of the bells between each other and with the box 1 is prevented, so as to aid the free rotation of the bells, independently from one another. The rotation movement is further aided by the fact that the gaskets 10, 11 are made, as mentioned, of an anti-friction material, such as for example PTFE or PEH plastic.
  • an anti-friction material such as for example PTFE or PEH plastic.
  • apertures 12 capable of engaging in turn with the pin 2, with minimal slack, obtaining the effect of locking into position the gaskets themselves, whereas the bells 3 and 4 are free to move.
  • a further disc anti-friction gasket 16 is provided, it too featuring a slot 12 identical to the slots 12 of the gaskets 10, 11; the gasket 16 is placed between the flange 4a of the bell 4 and the top closing plate 14.
  • a respective Bowden cable B which consequently controls the opening or the closing of the respective pop-up waste in a manner known per se.
  • the double-control device comprises three anti-friction gaskets 10, 11 and 16; however, it was verified in practice that especially the gasket 11 placed between the two bells is essential, whereas the other two gaskets 10 and 16 only have an improvement function of the device working smoothness.
