Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water spout for sanitary systems, for example for a washbasin or a bath, or a kitchen sink.
  • a water spout for sanitary systems for example for a washbasin or a bath, or a kitchen sink.
  • some water spouts have recently been devised for which the dispensing handle is integrated in the pipe, concentric thereto, with handle surfaces jointed to that of the pipe, so that the handle itself is little detectable.
  • such embodiments exhibit some drawbacks.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a water spout which should meet the above requirements of little perception impact of the handle while overcoming the disadvantages mentioned with reference to the prior art. [0007] Such object is achieved by a water spout obtained according to claim 1.
  • the dependent claims describe embodiment variations.
  • figure 3a to 3d show plan views of the spout in a closed configuration
  • FIG. 4 shows a section view of the water spout of figure 1 ;
  • - figure 5 shows the enlarged detail V of figure 4;
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic view of the overlapping between the openings of the body and the bottom openings of the water spout cartridge.
  • Spout 1 comprises an internally hollow pipe 2 that extends between an engagement opening 4 and a dispensing opening 6, intended for water dispensing.
  • Pipe 2 comprises a gripping portion 8, wherein the water spout 6 opens, suitable for being moved by a user for dispensing water.
  • the gripping portion 8 exhibits an annular connecting portion 10 and an annular dispensing portion 12, jointed to the first one and having said dispensing opening 6.
  • connection portion 10 generally cylindrical, mainly extends along a connection axis X-X, for example rectilinear, while the dispensing portion 12 mainly extends along a dispensing axis Y-Y.
  • connection axis X-X is separate from the dispensing axis Y-Y and is incident thereto.
  • spout 1 comprises dispensing means, associable to at least one water inlet duct, operatively associated to pipe 2 at the engagement opening 4 and suitable for allowing/preventing the water passage from the water inlet duct to the dispensing opening 6.
  • said dispensing means comprise a cartridge 20 suitable for being controlled for allowing/preventing the water passage from the water inlet duct to the dispensing opening 6.
  • cartridge 20 is of the joystick type, that is, provided with a control lever 22.
  • spout 1 comprises a containment body 30, wherein cartridge 20 is at least partly seated.
  • the containment body 30 is surmounted by pipe 2.
  • the containment body 30 is associable to a cold water inlet duct for the inlet of cold water and a hot water inlet duct for the inlet of hot water, whereas cartridge
  • body 30 exhibits openings 34, 36 at bottom 32, in communication with respective openings of cartridge 20 (figure 6).
  • Hot water and cold water are fed by the household distribution system to openings 34, 36 of body 30 and through them they flow in cartridge 20, where they mix according to amounts desired by the user, determined by the position taken by lever 22.
  • the mixed water comes out through opening 24 located on the bottom of the cartridge and, through air space 38 obtained in body 30 between the wall of body 30 and cartridge 20 itself, is fed to pipe 2, according to a feeding path 39 that exits from body 30, slightly touching the cartridge itself.
  • spout 1 comprises engagement means, operatively connected to said pipe 2 for supporting it in a movable manner.
  • said engagement means comprise an articulation element 40 having a contact surface 42 at least partly spherical.
  • Pipe 2 is arranged on said contact surface 42 of the articulation element 40.
  • said articulation element 40 holds cartridge 20 inside body 30.
  • said engagement means comprise an articulation connection 50 at least partly seated in pipe 2, on the side of the engagement opening 4.
  • the articulation connection 50 surmounts the articulation element 40.
  • the articulation connection 50 is integral to pipe 2, exhibits a through duct 52 for dispensing the water, and is engaged with lever 22 of cartridge 20, so that moving pipe 2 controls the movement of lever 22 and cartridge 20 is therefore controlled as desired.
  • spout 1 comprises an articulation sealing element 60, of a material suitable for obtaining a seal, arranged in compression between the contact surface 42 of the articulation element 40 and the articulation connection 50.
  • spout 1 comprises water feeding means for feeding the mixed water from said dispensing means to the dispensing outlet 6 of pipe 2.
  • the feeding means comprise a tube 61 , seated in pipe 2, in fluid engagement at an end with the dispensing means and at the other end, open towards the dispensing outlet 6 of the pipe.
  • an air space 62 is obtained between tube 61 and the wall of pipe 2.
  • the mixed water in output from the feeding duct and intended to be dispensed flows inside tube 61. This prevents the wall of pipe 2 from becoming very hot due to the contact with hot water, preventing the user from moving pipe 2 according to the needs or even representing a hazard thereto.
  • tube 61 comprises at least one flexible portion 64 and even more preferably, an extending telescopic portion 66.
  • the flexibility of the flexible portion 64 allows adapting the pipe to the shape, for example arched or hook-wise, of pipe 2.
  • the water feeding means comprise a connection tang 70, seated in pipe 2, on the side of the engagement opening 4, connected to the dispensing means.
  • connection tang 70 which in turn, is in fluid connection with tube 61 , so that the mixed water is fed by the feeding means to the dispensing outlet 6.
  • spout 1 comprises an internal insert 80 seated in pipe 2, on the side of the dispensing outlet 6.
  • the internal insert 80 is suitable for breaking the water flow being dispensed from tube 61 , for obtaining a dispensing water jet having greater section than the jet dispensed from the tube.
  • spout 1 comprises an end insert 90 partly inserted in the pipe, on the side of the dispensing outlet.
  • the internal insert 80 is comprised between the end of tube 61 and the end insert 90, which inserts into the pipe so as not to leave air spaces with the wall thereof.
