- a Wasserauslaufge- housing is inserted with an insert from above, for example, in an opening of a washstand.
- the functional component for example a valve block and a mixing block attached thereto, is fastened to the insertion stub from below.
- the fitter usually requires both hands to hold the functional component, since the functional component is often very heavy and unwieldy and relatively large in relation to the installation space.
- the area below the wash basin is often difficult to access.
- the installer then has no hand free for attaching, adjusting and screwing.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in such a way that a quick and easy installation is made possible.
- the connecting device is a clamping device with which the functional component is provisionally fixed by a relative movement of the water outlet housing, and a Clamping device, with which the functional component is stably connectable to the water outlet housing has.
- a clamping device is provided, with which the functional component can be prefixed with a handle on the water outlet housing, so that the fitter has both hands free for the subsequent attachment, adjustment and screwing. With the clamping device then the water outlet housing and the functional component can be braced against each other.
- the clamping device comprises the following interacting components: a) at least one clamping spring; b) a first groove adapted to the clamping spring in a first component, in particular a flanged groove in a spring flange connected to the functional component; c) a second adapted to the clamping spring, the first groove facing groove in a relative to the first
- Component displaceable second component in particular a housing groove in the water outlet housing.
- a clamping spring and grooves are technically particularly easy to implement and robust.
- the clamping device comprises at least one connecting screw and a corresponding thread, with which the first component, in particular the spring flange, is connected to the functional component clamped.
- a threaded spring is provided for receiving the connecting screw into which the connecting screw can be inserted quickly without screwing. To tighten the connecting screw can then be tightened.
- the clamping device can have a particularly progressive self-locking device, in particular at least one guide bevel for the clamping spring, in particular for at least one guide pin of the clamping spring, with which the tension increases on the clamping device whose clamping effect is improved.
- the connecting device has at least one fixing device for fixing the angular position of the functional component relative to the water outlet housing, in particular a fixing pin and a fixing pin receptacle cooperating therewith. In this way it is ensured that the functional component rests in the correct position on the water outlet housing.
- the water outlet housing may be sealed with a molded seal against the functional component.
- the functional component comprises a valve block and / or a mixing block.
- Valve blocks and mixing blocks attached to them are heavy and cumbersome components that are particularly affected by the connection device. which can be easily connected to the water outlet housing.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a perspective view of a sanitary fitting in which a water outlet housing is connected to a valve block via a spring flange;
- Figure 2 shows schematically a left side view of the sanitary fitting shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows schematically a longitudinal section of the sanitary fitting shown in Figure 2 along the line there III-III, wherein the upper housing part is cut off;
- Figure 4 shows schematically a cross section of the sanitary fitting shown in Figure 2 in an area above the spring flange along the line IV-IV there;
- FIG 5 shows schematically a longitudinal section of the sanitary fitting shown in Figure 2 in the region of the spring flange along the line V-V in Figure 5.
- FIG. 1 shows a sanitary fitting provided overall with the reference numeral 1 for a vanity, not shown.
- the sanitary fitting 1 comprises in Figure 1 above a water outlet housing 2 with a stylized upper housing part 3 and a male connector 25, and below one known valve block 4, which is bolted via a conventional block connection 5 with a mixing block 6 also known.
- the mixing block 6 cold and hot water are supplied in a certain mixing ratio.
- the valve block 4 is an electrically actuated valve, which controls the flow of water to the outflow in the upper housing part 3.
- the insertion piece 25 is connected by a connecting device 7 with the valve block 4.
- the insertion piece 25 has a substantially circular cross-section ( Figure 4).
- two identical housing cavities 8 run mirror-inverted opposite each other axially over the entire length of the insertion stub 25, in each case with a constant circular section-shaped cross section.
- the insertion piece 25 has a taper 28 with a peripheral annular groove 30 containing an O-ring.
- the water outlet housing 2 is inserted from above into an opening of the washstand, not shown, wherein the upper housing part 3 is arranged above the arranged on the washstand.
- the remaining components of the sanitary fitting 1 are located below the vanity.
- the retaining nut 9 With the retaining nut 9, the water outlet housing 2 is fixed from below on the vanity.
- the insertion piece 25 in its outer lateral surface ⁇ slightly above the taper 28 a circumferential housing groove 10 ( Figure 3).
- a hollow cylindrical spring flange 11 is arranged as part of the connecting device 7 coaxially on the jacket of the Einsteckstutzens 25.
- the spring flange 11 has an elliptical-like outer cross section and a circular inner cross section (FIG. 4), so that two opposite wall thickenings are realized.
- the inner cross section of the spring flange 11 corresponds to the outer cross section of the Einsteckstutzens 25th
- a peripheral flanged groove 12 is arranged in the spring flange 11 with respect to the housing groove 10.
- the Flanschnut 12 is about twice as wide in the axial direction of the spring flange 11 as the housing groove 10 ( Figure 3).
- Flanschnut 12 a radially extending continuous KlemmfederStiftö réelle 13 (Figure 1) and on the opposite side also in the bottom of Flanschnut 12 a radially extending continuous Klemmfedervorsprungsöff- opening 14 ( Figure 4).
- a slotted, annular clamping spring ' ' 15 with a round profile (Figure 3).
- the diameter of the clamping spring 15 is smaller in its relaxed state than the outer diameter of the Einsteckstutzens 25 so that it is braced in the housing groove 10.
- the profile diameter of the clamping spring 15 is approximately twice as large as the depth of the .Win housing groove 10 in the radial direction of the Einsteckstutzens 25, so that the outer profile half of the clamping spring 15 projects beyond the edge of the housing groove 10 in the flanged groove 12. In this way it is prevented that the spring flange 11 can slip relative to the insertion stub 25 in Figures 1, 2, 3 up or down.
- the clamping spring 15, the housing groove 10 and the flange groove 11 thus act as a clamping device.
- the profile diameter of the clamping spring 15 is slightly smaller than the depth of the flange groove 12 in the radial direction of the spring flange 11, so that the clamping spring 15, if it is bent radially outwards, completely sunk into the flange groove 12 and the spring flange 11 from the insertion 25 can be deducted.
- the two ends of the clamping spring 15 protrude outward approximately in the radial direction of the spring flange 11 and thus form two guide pins 16 (FIG. 4).
- the clamping spring 15 On the opposite side of the guide pins 16, the clamping spring 15 has a square in Fig. 4 Klemmfedervorsprung 17.
- the Klemmfedervorsprung 17 is formed of two parallel, substantially in the radial direction of the spring flange 11 outwardly bent portions of the clamping spring 15, the radially outer ends are integrally connected to each other.
- the guide pins 16 protrude through the Klemmfederjanöff- tion 13 and the Klemmfedervorsprung 17 projects through the Klemmfedervorsprungsö réelle 14 through, beyond the outer surface of the spring flange 11 addition, so that the clamping spring 15 is held in the Flans.ehnut 12.
- the guide pins 16 can be pressed apart from outside the spring flange 11 in order to increase the diameter of the clamping spring 15 and to sink them in the flanged groove 12 so.
- the cross section of the clamping spring pin opening 13 has the shape of a triangle, the tip of which points upward (FIGS. 1, 2). If the clamping spring 15 is displaced upwards relative to the spring flange 11 in FIGS. 1, 2, the guide pins 16 are guided along the guide bevels 18 and 15 moved towards each other, so that the diameter of the clamping spring 15 increasingly decreases and the clamping spring 15 is pressed into the housing senut 10. This is the case when the spring flange 11 is pulled down relative to the water outlet housing 2 in Figures 1, 2, 3. In this way, a progressive self-assurance of the spring flange 11 is realized on the insertion piece 25 at train down.
- the Klemmfederitö réelle 13 has in its base an opening to the lower end face of the spring flange 11. During factory insertion of the clamping spring 15 in the housing groove 10, the guide pins 16 are guided through this opening into the Klemmfederitö réelle 13. -S
- a connecting screw 20 preferably a hexagon socket screw, with which the spring flange 11 is bolted to the valve block 4,
- two through holes 21 are provided for the connecting bolts 20, the axes of which in each case extend coaxially to the axes of the threaded bores 19.
- the heads of the connecting bolts 20 are positioned below the valve block 4 in FIGS. 1, 2, 3.
- the valve block 4 has substantially the shape of a cuboid. From its upper side in Figure 3, a hollow cylindrical plug-in receptacle 26 is shown, in which the
- Rejuvenation 28 of the water outlet housing 2 is inserted.
- the inner diameter of the plug-in receptacle 26 corresponds to the outer diameter of the taper 28 of the Einsteckstutzens 25.
- the taper 28 is sealed with the O-ring in the annular groove 30 opposite the socket 26.
- valve block 4 in a region within the plug-in receptacle 26 outside its center has a bore 27 for a fixing pin
- Fixierstatting 24 is provided in the lower end face of the Einsteckstutzens 25 a complementary to the fixing pin 23 Fixierstattability 24 is provided.
- the angular position of the valve block 4 is set relative to the Einsteckstutzen 25.
- the insertion piece 25 is inserted from above through the opening of the washstand until the bottom of the upper housing part 3 rests on the top of the washstand.
- valve block 4 is screwed with the two connecting screws 20 to the spring flange 11.
- the valve block 4 itself is bolted to the mixing block 6 in a known manner.
- the spring flange 11 is attached from below to the taper 28 of the water outlet housing 2.
- the taper 28 serves as Aufsteck Anlagen for the clamping spring 15, which is first spread when plugging.
- the clamping spring 15 immersed in reaching the housing groove 10 with about half their profile depth in this one. Further penetration is limited by the depth of the housing groove 10.
- the clamping spring 15 is now with its inner profile half in the housing groove 10 and with its outer profile half in the Flan groove 12, so that the spring flange 11 is almost axially fixed relative to the insertion piece 25.
- the spring flange 11 and the valve block 4 are pre-fixed to the Einsteckstutzen 25 that the installer has both hands free to evenly screw the connecting bolts 20 in the j e election threaded holes 19 in the spring flange 11.
- the clamping spring 15 is moved relative to the spring flange 11 upwards, so that the two guide pins 16 are guided along the j e election guide slopes 18 and moved towards each other. Due to the progressive self-locking prevents the spring flange 11 from the water outlet housing 2 can slide down.
- the threaded holes 19 in the spring flange 11 holes without thread can be provided, which in each case have a thread reproducing a threaded spring.
- the thread springs are arranged in such a way that they thrust direction of the connecting screws 20, namely in Figures 1, 2, 3 from bottom to top, open. In this way, the connecting screws 20 can be inserted quickly without being screwed, whereby a significantly faster installation is possible.
- the coil springs Once the coil springs are under tension, they contract and lock the j dweilende connecting screw 20 so that they can not be pulled down from the holes in the spring flange 11 out. Subsequently, the connecting screws 20 are further screwed in to fix the connection.
- the threaded bores 19 or the threaded springs can be arranged instead of the spring flange 11 in the valve block 4.
- the clamping spring 15 may instead of a round, for example, have a flat or square profile.
- guide bevels can also run, for example, along the flanged groove 12.
- the upper wall of the flange groove 12 may be chamfered circumferentially, so that the clamping spring 15 is pressed uniformly radially inwardly as soon as the spring flange 11 is under tension.
- the guide pins 16 are not required.
