Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary fitting with a base body comprising a water inlet and a valve unit, as well as with a permanently connected to the main body water outlet, which at its end facing away from the main body has an outlet head through which in operation with open valve unit in the water inlet of the body incoming water from the sanitary fitting expires again, wherein the water outlet comprises a connecting member, which is connected at its one end via an inlet part, through which the water flowing in the open valve unit through the water inlet water enters the water outlet, fixed to the body, and which whose other end carries the outlet head, and wherein between the inlet part and the outlet head a replaceable unit is releasably connected to the connecting member, the waterproof on the inlet part on the one hand and the outlet head on the other hand, and by the au from the inlet part water is directed completely into the outlet head.
  • CH 633 059 A shows a device in which a provided with a filter water outlet is to be connected to a body.
  • EP 0 872 600 A1 takes into account that part of the outlet is provided with a water treatment unit.
  • the complete treatment cartridge is disposed within the body or within the spout, which makes a cartridge change difficult and no possibility to change the appearance of the fitting.
  • Object of the present invention is in contrast to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages and to present a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned, can be installed and / or changed by simply replacing a part of the water outlet means for water treatment and at the same time the shape of the sanitary fitting without disassembly and assembly a complete water outlet can be designed and changed as desired.
  • This object is achieved in a surprisingly simple, but effective manner according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the connecting member is designed in the form of a half-shell, it becomes possible to accommodate water-sensitive functional elements such as control electronics or sensors.
  • the connecting member consists of a metal or plastic carrier and is preferably designed as a rigid body.
  • Metal or plastic carriers are simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • especially plastic parts in many mold variants can be produced and allow numerous design variants.
  • the replaceable unit is connected via a plug waterproof connection with the stationary part of the sanitary fitting.
  • Plug connections are particularly easy in their application and also allow the non-specialist quick and easy replacement of the exchange unit.
  • the replaceable unit is connected via a bayonet connection with the sanitary fitting. Again, a simple and quick change is possible.
  • the replaceable unit is positively connected to the stationary part of the sanitary fitting.
  • the replaceable unit contains means for water treatment. This can be dispensed with an additional water treatment plant.
  • the water treatment unit contains a filter element, for example of activated carbon, ceramic, sand and / or cellulose.
  • a filter element for example of activated carbon, ceramic, sand and / or cellulose.
  • the replaceable water treatment unit contains an ion exchanger material. This allows targeted removal of unwanted ions. By exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions, hard water can be softened.
  • the water treatment unit contains a disinfection and / or germ protection device.
  • a disinfection and / or germ protection device can be for example a UV lamp, silvered activated carbon or a chemical disinfection.
  • a membrane for micro-, ultra- or nanofiltration.
  • the exchangeable unit contains a bed of gemstones and / or semi-precious stones or combinations of different gemstones and / or semi-precious stones. From the stone healing is known that gemstones can affect the properties of the water positively.
  • the housing of the exchangeable unit at least partially made of a transparent material such as break-resistant glass, trogamide or plexiglass.
  • a transparent material such as break-resistant glass, trogamide or plexiglass.
  • a light source is integrated in the connecting member.
  • replaceable units can have different geometric shapes.
  • an assortment of interchangeable units can be provided, which have different colors and / or geometric shapes, but can be connected in the same way to the water outlet. This makes it possible to reshape their appearance by replacing a small part of the sanitary fitting. Expensive, functional sanitary fittings do not have to be completely replaced if the design is to be adapted to the zeitgeist.
  • the sanitary fitting 1; 1'; 1 " comprises a main body 2, 2 ' with a valve unit (not shown in the drawing) and an adjusting lever 3, 3', 3" for adjusting the temperature and the flow rate of water to be tapped, a replaceable unit 4; 4 '; 4 ", an inlet part 5, 5 ', 5" to this exchange unit 4; 4 '; 4 "and an outlet head 6, 6 ', 6", in which additionally an aerator 7; "May be integrated with the inlet part.
  • 5; 5 ';5" 7 is part of a non-continuous water-bearing, rigid connecting member 8; 8th'; 8 ", which serves as a holder for the replaceable unit 4, 4 ', 4" and the inlet part 5; 5 '; 5 "with the outlet head 6, 6 ', 6" mechanically connects.
  • the water flows over the inlet part 5; 5 '; 5 "in the interchangeable unit 4, 4 ', 4" and from there into the outlet head 6; 6 ';
  • the unit 4, 4 ', 4 " may be filled as a treatment unit with activated charcoal, ion exchange material or gemstones.
  • the unit 4; 4 '; 4 "by means of connectors 9, 9 ', 9" can be solved and mounted easily and quickly.
  • the unit 4, 4 ', 4" is positively connected to the stationary part of the sanitary fitting 1; 1'; 1 "connected.
