Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an outlet At the bottom of bathtubs and sinks usually an outlet is provided which can be closed with a drain valve.
  • the drain valve In order to empty the sanitary article, the drain valve is opened with a linkage, a cable or the like.
  • the actuation takes place, for example, with a rotary knob which is mounted on an overflow housing.
  • This overflow housing is located behind an opening of the sanitary article.
  • a push button is provided for actuation.
  • the AT 317 097 a device for opening and closing the plug of tubs, which has a push button, which is mounted in a cylindrical attachment which is fixed to the inside of the bathtub.
  • a push button By a linear movement of the push button a arranged behind the bath pivot lever can be pivoted.
  • a rope or a chain is operated, which is connected to the closure body of the drain valve.
  • the DE-A-44 45 649 discloses a device for actuating the outlet closure of bathtubs. This has an actuating button, which is displaceable substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a rod of a lever linkage. About a deflector, the rod is moved and thus actuates the drain valve.
  • the EP 1 249 544 discloses a device for controlling the tub filling of sanitary articles, in which an actuating device for actuating a drain valve is provided.
  • the adjusting device has a motor with which a slider is moved, which moves a closure body via a cable.
  • the FR-A-1 284 696 discloses an actuator on a bathtub having an inwardly projecting actuating button which is slidable and movable along its axis for opening the drain valve.
  • the DE-U-200 19 579 discloses a generic device, and in particular a pelvic drain having a push button, which is flush with its key surface flush with an open surface of an attachment part with open drain valve.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which is le ⁇ cht to fasten and disassemble.
  • the push button protrudes through the opening of the sanitary article with the drain valve closed.
  • the push button can thus largely be sunk in the overflow housing and thus in the sanitary article. This ensures that the push button on the front of the sanitary article and a bathtub on the inside substantially does not protrude. In the case of a bathtub, the freedom of movement and, finally, the comfort of the sanitary article can be substantially increased.
  • the overflow housing is fastened with a fastening part to the opening of the sanitary article, wherein the fastening part protrudes with a cylindrical projection through the opening of the sanitary article and this approach with a closed drain valve receives the push button.
  • the pushbutton can be lowered in the overflow opening.
  • said approach is formed so that it forms a gap to the push button with the drain valve closed, said gap forming the overflow opening.
  • the push button mechanically held in the sunk state and by another pressure in the same direction can be solved (ballpoint pen mechanism).
  • a motor can be switched on and off with the pushbutton.
  • the drain valve is opened or closed by the motor.
  • the motor is preferably a servomotor. This can be arranged in the overflow housing or in the housing of the drain valve.
  • FIG. 1 shown device 1 is according to FIG. 4 mounted on a slightly inclined wall 12 of a bath 2. It serves to actuate a drain valve 6, which is arranged in a drain opening 5 of the tub bottom 4. In FIG. 4 the drain valve 6 is open. A plate-shaped closure body 10 is raised as shown, so that not shown water in the bath 2 can flow through the opening 5 in a valve housing 7 and a siphon 9 in a disposal line not shown here.
  • the FIG. 5 shows the drain valve 6 in the closed position.
  • the device 1 is located immediately below an edge 3 of the bath 2 and is of a Inside 8 operable.
  • the bathtub 2 may also be another sanitary article having a drain valve.
  • the sanitary article may be a sink.
  • the device 1 is according to FIG. 1 attached in an opening 13 which is arranged at a distance from the tub bottom 4 below the edge 3.
  • an overflow housing 14 is arranged, which is closed at the rear with a cover 34.
  • this has a cylindrical guide member 20 and an external thread 21 on which a fastening nut 17 is fixed with a clamping nut 17.
  • the fastening part 17 has an outwardly projecting flange 19, which is tensioned against the inner side 8.
  • a rubber-elastic seal 16 is arranged between the flange 19 and a flange 15 of the overflow housing 14.
  • the clamping nut 22 is located on an inner edge 23 ( Fig.
  • the overflow housing 14 can be solved in a simple manner.
  • the fastening part 17 forms an overflow opening 18 through which water can drain into a spigot 46 integrally formed on the overflow housing 14 and into the valve housing 7 via a conduit 47.
  • This overflow opening 18 is constantly open and can not be closed.
  • the flange 19 of the fastening part 17 is comparatively flat and has an outer surface 51, which according to FIG. 2 has a comparatively small distance from the inside 8.
  • the device 1 To actuate the drain valve 6, the device 1 on a push button 24 which is plugged onto a mounting pin 28 of an actuating part 27.
  • the actuating member 27 is mounted linearly displaceable in the guide member 20.
  • a compression spring 26 is arranged, which is supported on the one hand on the cover 34 and on the other hand on the actuating part 27.
  • the spring 26 is held on a pin 35 of the lid 34.
  • the operating member 27 can be removed by pressing the push button 24 of the in FIG. 1 shown position in the in FIG. 2 shown position to be moved.
  • the compression spring 26 is hereby tensioned. As can be seen, is located the push button 24 in the FIG.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
