Abstract
Description
- As stated in the title of this descriptive specification, the present invention relates to a device for the fitting of taps in sanitary-ware, which has been conceived and carried out with the aim of facilitating the manual operations that have to be performed in the fitting and corresponding connection of sanitary components, such as taps, controls and shower hoses for baths and similar.
- As is known, when fitting certain sanitary components such as taps and controls in baths and similar, including shower hoses in baths, access needs to be established in order to be able to execute the actual fitting operations themselves, in such a way that this not only implies the drawback of having to make the said access but also the fitting is carried out in positions that are uncomfortable for the operator.
- Moreover, the time taken in the fitting operations is notable, independently of the fact that the final execution is sometimes not as correct as might have been desired.
- It can also be pointed out that sanitary components remain exposed underneath the surface in such a way that in the event of any leak or dripping due to any circumstance the water falls directly onto the fixture located beneath or onto the floor, with the consequent problems and drawbacks that this causes.
- The inventive device is intended precisely for solving all the problems and drawbacks mentioned above, based on using a kind of tank that is located beneath the surface in which it is intended to introduce the sanitary components, the said tank being initially secured beneath the surface via an independent frame which, located around the tank, is secured beneath the surface by means of some "Velcro" type adhesive strips, until the final fastening by means of screws, in such a way that this provisional fastening or pre-fitting of the tank is maintained while the operations are being carried out for connection of the water pipes with the ducts corresponding to the tap or taps, and/or shower hose for baths and similar, etc.
- In order to permit the fitting and establishment of the connections correctly, as well as the final fastening of the said tank, provision has been made for the latter to have a hole in one of its side walls for the passage of water pipes, along with a drain that can be connected to a siphon provided in the bottom, so that any possible leaks and drips are fed to the general drain without causing any damage or deterioration at all, since the tank will preferably be made of plastic or a waterproof material that will not deteriorate or corrode.
- Moreover, the tank is s complemented on top with an embellishing cover comprising two plates, a lower one directly resting on the edge of the tank, acting as a joint, with a large window occupying a major part of its width, and another upper one which is the actual embellishing plate itself, provided with holes for the passage of the pipes corresponding to the taps, control and shower nozzle, in the event that these are the sanitary components that are fitted.
- These two plates are provided with holes for the passage of the final fastening screws for the tank, these screws also passing through holes made in wings provided for the purpose in the sides of tank itself, these wings on the one hand acting as means of support for the securing frame and on the other hand as identifying means for the correct position of the tank in its fitting, since individual locating recesses are made on the upper part of those wings for the respective labels as the actual identifying elements.
- By means of the said device, the need is obviated of having to establish access for the conventional fitting of the type of sanitary components mentioned earlier, thus facilitating the fitting tasks, which will be able to be carried out more comfortably and in less time, plus the fact that in the event of a possible leak or dripping of the pipes and/ or ducts and their couplings, the water will fall inside the tank itself and will flow directly into the general drain without any problem of deteriorating the floor or fixture beneath on which that leaking or dripping water can fall.
- In order to complement the description to be made forthwith, and with the aim of aiding a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive specification is accompanied by a set of drawings on the basis of which the innovations and advantages of the device for fitting of taps in sanitary-ware, carried out in accordance with the object of the invention, will be more easily understood.
-
Figure 1 .- Shows a view according to an exploded perspective of the device forming the object of the invention. -
Figure 2 .- Shows a side view of the same device as in the previous figure, incorporating the fitting of certain sanitary components such an a tap control, the actual tap itself and a shower hose, with the pipes and/or ducts being shown in a dashed line with their corresponding couplings which remain inside the actual tank of the device. - With the commented figures in view, it can be seen how the inventive device is constituted on the basis of a
tank 1 with a general prismatic configuration, one side of which is provided with ahole 2 for the passage ofpipes 18 for the supply of hot and cold water, while thebottom 3 has been provided with a drain hole to which is coupled asiphon 4 for the run-off of water as will be explained later on. - In the upper part of its sides, the
tank 1 includes horizontalexternal wings 5 with a recess for alabel 6 identifying the position which thattank 1 has to occupy in its displacement beneath the surface 7 of a bath or similar. Thesewings 5 have pairs ofholes 8 for the passage of fastening screws 9 for theactual tank 1. - On top, it is complemented with a
plate 10 provided with a window occupying the major part of its width, and anembellishing plate 11 for complete covering, which is provided withholes 12 for the passage of theducts 16 corresponding to, for example, acontrol 13 for hot or cold water, atap 14 and ashower control 15 for a bath, as can be seen infigure 2 . - The fastening screws 9 pass through said
plates plates wings 5 and the surface itself 7. - The
water pipes 18 accessing thetank 1 via thelateral hole 2 are connected to theducts 16 for thecontrol 13 of thetap 14 and for theshower hose 15, following a provisional location or pre-fitting of thetank 1, for which aframe 17 has been provided through which the saidtank 1 passes, in such a way that by means of someadhesive strips 19 provided in thatframe 17 and underneath the surface 7, a temporary securing can be achieved of thetank 1, during the fitting and connecting of the aforementioned sanitary components, in order to then carry out the final fastening by means of the screws 9. - Finally, it can be said that in the event of a leak or drips in the couplings or connections between the
pipes tank 1 and run off to the outside via thesiphon 4.
