Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are well known in particular to bathtubs and washbasins.
  • the actuator may be a push button, as shown in the AT 317097 or the DE 44 45 649 A is disclosed.
  • the movement of the push button is transmitted via a switching device on a cable of a cable.
  • a lever is arranged, with which the closure body of the drain valve can be raised and closed.
  • Another device of the type mentioned is from the EP 1 118 724 A known.
  • the switching device is arranged in the closure body, see also document GB 2184011 , This document is considered as the closest prior art, and corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a further device of the type mentioned, wherein the drain valve can be operated functionally reliable.
  • the object is achieved in a generic device according to claim 1.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that the actuating part, which contains the pushbutton, space-saving and compact can be formed, since the switching device is arranged on the housing of the drain valve.
  • the switching device can be arranged in particular laterally on this housing. Here is comparatively much space available.
  • the tension member for example a cable pull can be guided concealed to this switching device. An unfavorable leadership of the tension member in the closure body can be avoided.
  • the switching device for opening and closing the drain valve is in each case switchable to train.
  • Such a switch to train is more reliable than switching to pressure.
  • the switching device has a switching part and a rocker, which cooperate to open and close the drain valve. It is particularly advantageous if the switching part is pivotally mounted in a slider and works on train with the rocker.
  • the slide is mounted in a slide housing, which is inserted into a projection of the valve housing.
  • the rocker is connected to a fixed valve lifter shaft.
  • the movement of the rocker is in this case transmitted directly to a valve lifter shaft, with which, for example, is lifted by a lever, the closure body of the drain valve. This allows a very effective power transmission.
  • means for changing over the switching part are arranged on the slider housing.
  • This return means can be realized very easily, for example, by a projecting wall of the valve body.
  • the rocker is locked with the drain valve open. As a result, an exact opening position of the valve is ensured.
  • the device is particularly suitable for a sanitary article that requires an overflow opening.
  • the device 1 consists of the in the FIGS. 6a to 6d and 7a to 7d shown drain valve A and in the FIGS. 1 to 5 shown actuating head B.
  • the drain valve A and the actuator head B are connected to a cable 16 with each other.
  • the actuating head B is mounted in an opening 3 of a sanitary article 2, for example.
  • a bathtub or a washbasin. He has an overflow opening 9 through which overflowing water can get into a nozzle 12 and a drain pipe not shown here in a siphon 21 and finally into another line not shown here.
  • the drain valve A is fixed in a bottom of the sanitary article 2, not shown here. When the drain valve A is open, water from the sanitary article 2 can also flow into the siphon 21 and into the downstream line (not shown here).
  • the operation of the drain valve A is carried out by pressing a button 7, which according to the FIG. 1 is stored in the overflow opening 9.
  • a button 7 of the in FIG. 1 shown position in the in the FIG. 3 shifted position shown.
  • the key 7 In the unconfirmed position according to FIG. 1 the key 7 is substantially flush with a rosette 4 on the front side. After an actuation, the key 7 automatically returns to the position shown in FIG in FIG. 1 shown position back.
  • the button 7 is snapped or screwed onto a guide sleeve 13 which is mounted displaceably in the rosette 4.
  • a transverse web 11 is arranged, which acts on a lifter 10 which is pivotable about an axis 19 which is mounted in a housing 5 and which is fixedly connected to a lift 15. If the key 7 in the in FIG. 3 shown moved position, so the lifter 10 pivots about the axis 19 and thereby pivots the lifter 15 of the in FIG. 2 shown position in the in FIG. 4 shown raised position. At a distance from the axis 19 of the lift 15 is connected to an upper end 20 of a cable 17. By the said pivoting movement, a predetermined stroke or train is exerted on the cable 17. At the same time, a spring element 18 is tensioned.
  • the cable 17 is connected at a lower end 30 with a slider 29 of a switching device 26.
  • the said train of the cable 17 causes a displacement of the slider 29 of the in FIG. 8a shown position in the in FIG. 8b shown position. If the button 7 is released, the spring element 18 relaxes and thereby shifts the cable 17 back into the in FIG. 2 shown position. At the same time, the slider 29 in the in FIG. 8 shifted position shown.
  • the said train of the cable 17 causes a lifting of a closure body 33 of the drain valve A, which is thereby opened. This is explained in more detail below.
  • the slider 29 is according to the FIG. 8a in a slide housing 28 limited linearly displaceable. At this slide housing 28, a guide member 25 is attached to the cable 17. The slider housing 28 is inserted into the valve housing 22 of the drain valve A. As the Figure 7a shows, the switching device 26 is located laterally on the housing 22 and in addition to a nozzle 46, which is connected to a union nut 23 with the drain pipe, not shown here. In the Figure 7a is not shown for illustrative reasons of the housing 22 closing lid.
  • valve housing 28 a rocker 31 is arranged, which has an axis 38 with a in the FIGS. 7a to 7d shown valve lifter 36 is firmly connected.
  • This axis 38 pierces a cylindrical substantially vertically extending conversion 47 of the housing 22.
  • the valve lifter 36 is located within this wall 47 and the rocker 31 outside this wall.
  • the valve lifter 36 engages according to the FIGS. 7a to 7d to a plunger 35, which is arranged on the underside of the closure body 33.
  • the closure body 33 is mounted so as to be displaceable vertically within the wall 47 and abuts a valve seat 34 in the closed position.
  • a switching part 32 is pivotally mounted on an axis 43, which projects radially against the rocker.
  • the FIG. 8a shown position is held by two return parts 45, each abutting against a return means 44 of the valve body 28.
  • the slider 29 of the in FIG. 8a shown high position in the FIG. 8b shifted position shown the beak 42 is pressed against a first curve 41 of the rocker 31.
  • the valve body 33 thereby moves downwards due to its own weight and finally rests on the valve seat 34. If the button 7 is released, the slider 29 is due to the pressure of the spring element 18 back into the in FIG. 8a shown position moves.
  • the rocker 31 remains due to the weight of the closure body 33 in the in FIG. 3 shown position. Due to the return parts 45 and the return means 44, the switching part 32 returns to the aligned position according to FIG. 8c.
  • the button 7 is now also in the position according to the FIG. 1 ,
  • the drain valve A can now in turn be closed by pressing the button 7 as explained above. It is essential that the button 7 is pressed inwards for each actuation and the switching takes place by a pull of the cable 17.
  • the cable 17 thus serves to switch as a tension element. It can in principle also be replaced by another suitable pulling element, for example by a linkage or the like.
