The overflow opening 18 is open in both positions and forms according to FIG. 2 a circumferential gap which is formed on the one hand by the circumference of the push button 24 and on the other hand by a tubular extension 45 of the fastening part 17. The overflow opening 18 is via an opening 48 ( Fig. 2 ) of the fastening part 17 connected to the nozzle 46. Overflowing water can thus flow along the circumference of the push button 24 along the opening 48 in the nozzle 46 and thus in the conduit 47.

Befindet sich die Drucktaste 24 in der in Figur 1 gezeigten Stellung, so ist das Ablaufventil 6 gemäss Figur 4 geöffnet. Die Drucktaste 24 ist bezüglich der Innenseite 8 vorragend und damit ist diese Stellung auch visuell ohne weiteres erkennbar. Die Drucktaste 24 befindet sich in dieser Stellung ausserhalb der Öffnung 13. In der Stellung gemäss Figur 2 ragt die Drucktaste 24 durch die Öffnung 13 hindurch. Die Drucktaste 24 kann durch Druck auf die Tastfläche 25 in die in Figur 2 gezeigte Stellung bewegt werden. Um die Drucktaste 24 wieder in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Stellung zu bringen, wird nochmals auf die Drucktaste 24 ein Druck ausgeübt. Diese linearen Bewegungen der Drucktaste 24 werden über eine Antriebsvorrichtung 49 auf ein Seil 31 übertragen, das mit dem Verschlusskörper 10 wirkverbunden ist. Das Seil 31 kann auch ein anderes Betätigungsorgan, beispielsweise ein Gestänge oder eine Kette sein. Das Seil 31 ist in einer flexiblen Hülle 33 geführt und bildet mit dieser einen Bowdenzug.Is the pushbutton 24 in the in FIG. 1 shown position, the drain valve 6 is according to FIG. 4 open. The push button 24 is projecting with respect to the inside 8 and thus this position is visually readily recognizable. The push button 24 is located in this position outside the opening 13. In the position according to FIG. 2 the pushbutton 24 protrudes through the opening 13. The push button 24 can by pressing the touch surface 25 in the in FIG. 2 shown position to be moved. To return the pushbutton 24 to the in FIG. 1 to bring shown position, another pressure is exerted on the push button 24. These linear movements of the push button 24 are transmitted via a drive device 49 to a cable 31, which is operatively connected to the closure body 10. The cable 31 may also be another actuator, such as a linkage or a chain. The cable 31 is guided in a flexible sheath 33 and forms with this a Bowden cable.

Die Antriebsvorrichtung 49 weist ein Halteteil 29 auf, das in einer Öffnung 50 (Fig. 2) des Überlaufgehäuses 14 und am Deckel 34 verschiebbar gelagert ist. Bei abgenommenem Deckel 34 kann das Halteteil 29 aus dem Überlaufgehäuse 14 herausgenommen werden. Am Halteteil 29 ist ein seitlich hervorragender Mitnehmer 30 angeformt, an dem eine Kugel 32 des Seils 31 befestigt ist. Die Kugel 32 befindet sich im Abstand zu einer Achse A, zu welcher das Halteteil 29 drehbar ist. Das Betätigungsteil 27 ist drehfest im Führungsteil 20 gelagert. Die Schieberichtung des Halteteils 29 ist mit Pfeilen 43 und 44 angedeutet.The drive device 49 has a holding part 29, which in an opening 50 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) of the overflow housing 14 and the lid 34 is slidably mounted. When the cover 34 is removed, the holding part 29 can be removed from the overflow housing 14. On the holding part 29, a laterally outstanding driver 30 is formed on which a ball 32 of the rope 31 is attached. The ball 32 is at a distance to an axis A, to which the holding part 29 is rotatable. The actuating member 27 is rotatably in Guide part 20 stored. The sliding direction of the holding part 29 is indicated by arrows 43 and 44.

Das Halteteil 29 besitzt zwei gegenüberliegende Führungsnuten 37, von denen die eine in Figur 3 gezeigt ist. Diese Nuten 37 verlaufen geneigt zur Achse A. Am Betätigungsteil 27 sind an einem hinteren Ende zwei diametral gegenüberliegende und radial vorstehende Führungsnocken 38 angeformt, die jeweils in eine Führungsnut 37 hineinragen. Wird das Betätigungsteil 27 durch Drücken der Taste 24 in der Richtung der Achse A bewegt, so üben die beiden Führungsnocken 38 in den Nuten 37 eine Kraft auf das Halteteil 29 aus Das Halteteil 29 wird dadurch zur Achse A verschoben und durch die entsprechende Hebelkraft des Mitnehmers 30 wird auf das Seil 31 ein Zug ausgeübt. Diese Bewegungsrichtung des Betätigungsteils 27 ist in Figur 3 mit dem Pfeil 36 angedeutet.The holding part 29 has two opposite guide grooves 37, one of which in FIG. 3 is shown. These grooves 37 extend inclined to the axis A. On the actuating part 27, two diametrically opposite and radially projecting guide cam 38 are integrally formed on a rear end, each projecting into a guide groove 37. If the actuating member 27 is moved in the direction of the axis A by pressing the button 24, then the two guide cams 38 exert a force on the holding member 29 in the grooves 37. The holding member 29 is thereby displaced to the axis A and by the corresponding lever force of the driver 30 is applied to the rope 31 a train. This movement direction of the operating part 27 is in FIG. 3 indicated by the arrow 36.

Am Betätigungsteil 27 ist gemäss Figur 3 ein radial vorstehender Steuernocken 41 angeformt. Dieser greift in eine Kulisse 39 ein, die im Halteteil 29 gelagert ist. Diese Kulisse 39 ist im wesentlichen W-förmig ausgebildet und ist an sich aus der bekannten Kugelschreiber-Mechanik bekannt. Beim Bewegen des Betätigungsteils 27 in der Richtung des Pfeils 36 gleitet der Steuernocken 41 entlang einer Steuerkurve 40 nach unten und rastet schliesslich an einem Halteteil 42 ein. Wird die Drucktaste 24 losgelassen, so hält die Feder 26 durch Ihre Spannung den Steuernocken 41 am Halteteil 42 fest. Die Drucktaste 24 bleibt damit in der in Figur 2 gezeigten Stellung. Wird auf die Drucktaste 24 nochmals ein Druck in Richtung des Pfeils 36 ausgeübt, so gelangt der Steuernocken 41 wieder in Eingriff mit der Steuerkurve 40 und diese führt den Steuernocken 41 aus dem Bereich des Halteteils 42 hinaus. Das Betätigungsteil 27 ist damit wieder gelöst und wird nach dem Loslassen der Drucktaste 24 durch den Druck der Feder 26 in die in Figur 1 gezeigte vorragende Stellung bewegt. Durch die entsprechende Bewegung des Mitnehmers 30 wird das Seil 31 angezogen und der Verschlusskörper 10 hebt sich in die in Figur 6 gezeigte offene Stellung.On the actuating part 27 is according to FIG. 3 a radially projecting control cam 41 is formed. This engages in a link 39, which is mounted in the holding part 29. This gate 39 is formed substantially W-shaped and is known per se from the known ballpoint pen mechanism. When moving the operating member 27 in the direction of the arrow 36, the control cam 41 slides along a control cam 40 down and finally engages a holding part 42 a. If the push button 24 is released, the spring 26 holds the control cam 41 on the holding part 42 by its tension. The push button 24 thus remains in the in FIG. 2 shown position. If a pressure in the direction of the arrow 36 is exerted again on the push button 24, then the control cam 41 again engages with the control cam 40 and this leads the control cam 41 out of the region of the holding part 42. The actuating member 27 is thus released again and is after releasing the push button 24 by the pressure of the spring 26 in the in FIG. 1 shown protruding position moves. By the corresponding movement of the driver 30, the cable 31 is tightened and the closure body 10 rises in the open position shown in Figure 6.

Die Antriebsvorrichtung 49 kann nach einer Alternative durch einen hier nicht gezeigten Motor, insbesondere Stellmotor ersetzt sein. An der Motorachse ist in diesem Fall ein Hebel angeordnet, der mit dem Seil 31 verbunden ist. Durch Drücken der Drucktaste 24 wird über einen Schalter der Motor eingeschaltet und damit auf das Seil 31 ein Zug ausgeübt. Durch nochmaliges Drücken der Drucktaste 24 wird die Drehrichtung des Motors umgekehrt und entsprechend das Seil 31 entspannt bzw. das Ablaufventil 6 geschlossen. Das Betätigungsteil 27 betätigt in diesem Fall somit einen Schalter. Die Rastvorrichtung mit der Steuerkurve 40 und dem Steuernocken 41 ist auch in diesem Fall möglich. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung, bei welcher der Motor im Ventilgehäuse 7 angeordnet und über eine Signalleitung mit dem in Ventilgehäuse 14 angeordneten Schalter verbunden ist.

On the motor axis, a lever is arranged in this case, which is connected to the cable 31. By pressing the pushbutton 24 is switched on a switch, the engine and thus exerted on the rope 31 a train. By pressing the push button 24 again, the direction of rotation of the motor is reversed and accordingly the cable 31 is relaxed or the drain valve 6 is closed. The actuating member 27 thus actuates a switch in this case. The locking device with the control cam 40 and the control cam 41 is also possible in this case. Also conceivable is an embodiment in which the motor is arranged in the valve housing 7 and connected via a signal line to the switch arranged in the valve housing 14. <B> LIST OF REFERENCES </ b> 1 contraption 27 actuating member 2 bathtub 28 fastening pins 3 rim 29 holding part 4 Wannenboden 30 takeaway 5 drain hole 31 rope 6 drain valve 32 Bullet 7 valve housing 33 shell 8th inside 34 cover 9 siphon 35 spigot 10 closure body 36 arrow 11 actuator 37 guide 12 wall 38 guide cam 13 opening 39 scenery 14 Overflow housing 40 cam 15 flange 41 control cam 16 poetry 42 holding part 17 attachment portion 43 arrows 18 Overflow opening 44 arrows 19 flange 45 approach 20 guide part 46 Support 21 external thread 47 Pipeline 22 locknut 48 opening 23 inner edge 49 driving device 24 pushbutton 50 opening 25 touch surface 51 outer surface 26 compression spring A axis
