Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sanitärarmatur mit einem zur Anbringung an einer Installationswand eingerichteten Einbaukasten, wobei in einem Rand des Einbaukastens vier Stutzen angeordnet sind, von denen zwei Stutzen zum Anschluss von wandseitigen Zulaufrohren und zur Durchleitung von kaltem und warmem Wasser und zwei weitere Stutzen zum Anschluss von Wasserausläufen und zur Durchleitung von Mischwasser vorgesehen sind, und wobei in dem Einbaukasten eine mit den Stutzen korrespondierende Umlenkeinheit für die darüber zu führenden Wasserströme angeordnet und mit einer in dem Einbaukasten anordneten Mischeinheit der Sanitärarmatur verbunden ist.The invention relates to a sanitary fitting with a built-in installation wall for mounting box, four nozzles are arranged in one edge of the installation box, of which two nozzles for connecting wall-side inlet pipes and for the passage of cold and hot water and two more nozzles for the connection of Wasserausläufen and are provided for the passage of mixed water, and wherein arranged in the installation box a corresponding with the nozzle deflection unit for the water streams to be guided over it and is connected to a arranged in the installation box mixing unit of the sanitary fitting.

Eine Sanitärarmatur mit den vorgenannten Merkmalen ist in der DE 10 2004 045 490 B3 beschrieben. Soweit die Sanitärarmatur im Rahmen einer Unterputzinstallation eingesetzt werden soll, besteht das Problem, dass die Einbautiefe der hausseitig in einer Installationswand verlaufenden Zulaufrohre für das kalte und warme Wasser unterschiedlich ist, so dass der die Sanitärarmatur halternde Einbaukasten mit den an ihm angeordneten, zum Anschluss an die wandseitigen Zulaufrohre heranzuziehenden Stutzen jeweils mit einer angepassten Einbautiefe einzubauen ist. Insofern besteht die bekannte Sanitärarmatur aus einem becherförmigen, nach oben offenen Einbaukasten, in dessen Innenraum von unten nach oben ein Anschlusskörper, ein Zwischengehäuse mit einer Umstellvorrichtung und ein Kartuschengehäuse untergebracht sind. Dabei können Anschlusskörper, Zwischengehäuse und Kartuschengehäuse als Teile der Unterputzarmatur verstanden werden. Auf dem oberen Rand des Einbaukastens liegt eine Abdeckrosette auf, die eine verhältnismäßig große, mittlere Durchgangsöffnung besitzt, durch welche sich ein Bereich des Kartuschengchäuses nach außen hindurch erstreckt. Zum Anschluss der Sanitärarmatur an die wandseitigen Zulaufrohre weist der Anschlusskörper vier den Einbaukasten radial durchstoßende Anschlussstutzen auf, von denen zwei Anschlussstutzen mit den wandseitigen Zulaufrohren für das kalte und warme Wasser und zwei weitere Anschlussstutzen jeweils mit einem zugeordneten Wasserauslauf verbunden sind. Insofern steht das Kartuschengehäuse der Sanitärarmatur in Abhängigkeit von der jeweils gegebenen Einbautiefe der wandseitigen Zulaufrohre und damit des Einbaukastens mehr oder weniger weit über die den Abschluss des Einbaukastens bildende Abdeckrosette hervor. Insoweit ist keine einheitliche Einbauoptik für die an einer Installationswand montierte Sanitärarmatur zu gewährleisten, was entsprechend nachteilig ist.A sanitary fitting with the aforementioned features is in the DE 10 2004 045 490 B3 described. As far as the sanitary fitting is to be used as part of a flush installation, there is the problem that the depth of the house side extending in an installation wall inlet pipes for the cold and warm water is different, so that the plumbing fixture retainer mounting box with arranged on him for connection to the wall-side inlet pipes to be used is to be installed each with a suitable installation depth. In this respect, the known sanitary fitting consists of a cup-shaped, open-topped installation box, in the interior of which a connection body, an intermediate housing with a changeover device and a cartridge housing are accommodated from bottom to top. In this connection body, intermediate housing and cartridge housing can be understood as parts of the concealed fitting. On the upper edge of the installation box is a covering rosette, which has a relatively large, central passage opening through which a portion of the cartridge body extends outwardly therethrough. To connect the sanitary fitting to the wall-side inlet pipes, the connection body has four installation box radially piercing connecting pieces, of which two connecting pieces are connected to the wall-side inlet pipes for the cold and warm water and two other connecting pieces each with an associated water outlet. In this respect, the cartridge housing of the sanitary fitting is depending on the given installation depth of the wall-side inlet pipes and thus the installation box more or less far beyond the completion of the installation box forming cover rosette. In that regard, no uniform installation optics for the mounted on an installation wall sanitary fitting to ensure, which is disadvantageous accordingly.

Aus der DE 87 04 040 U1 ist eine Sanitärarmatur bekannt, die aus einem in der Installationswand zu montierenden Armaturen-Anschlussblock und dem eigentlichen Armaturenkörper besteht. Der Armaturen-Anschlussblock wird mit an ihm ausgebildeten Stutzen mit den wandseitigen Zulaufrohren bzw. einem Wasserauslauf verbunden. An dem Armaturenkörper sind drei zylindrische Anschlussverlängerungen ausgebildet, mit denen bei der Montage der Sanitärarmatur der Armaturenkörper in die entsprechend an dem Armaturen-Anschlussblock ausgebildeten Bohrungen teleskopisch dichtend eingeschoben wird. Somit sind bei der bekannten Sanitärarmatur unterschiedlicheFrom the DE 87 04 040 U1 is a sanitary fitting is known, which consists of a mounted in the installation wall fittings connection block and the actual fitting body. The fitting connection block is connected to him formed with nozzles on the wall inlet pipes or a water outlet. On the fitting body, three cylindrical connection extensions are formed, with which during installation of the sanitary fitting of the fitting body is inserted telescopically sealing in the correspondingly formed on the fitting connection block bores. Thus, different in the known sanitary fitting

Einbaulagen des Armaturenkörpers zu dem in der Installationswand montierten Armaturen-Anschlussblock möglich. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass die Einbautiefe der wandseitigen Zulaufrohre mindestens so groß sein muss wie die Abmessungen des Armaturen-Anschlussblocks, weil der Armaturen-Anschlussblock keine Anpassung an wechselnde Einbaulagen der Zulaufrohre in einer Installationswand zulässt.Installation positions of the fitting body to the fitting connection block mounted in the installation wall possible. The disadvantage, however, is that the installation depth of the wall-side inlet pipes must be at least as large as the dimensions of the fitting connection block, because the fitting connection block does not allow adaptation to changing installation positions of the inlet pipes in an installation wall.

Bei der in der DE 33 27 829 A1 beschriebenen sanitären Unterputzarmatur ragen die wandseitigen Zulaufrohre durch in den Seitenwänden des Einbaukastens ausgebildete Öffnungen in das Innere des Einbaukastens hinein und sind hier an die in den Einbaukasten eingesetzte Sanitärarmatur angeschlossen. Insofern ist eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Einbautiefen der wandseitigen Zulaufrohre bzw. den wenigstens einen Wasserabgang nicht vorgesehen. Zur Überprüfung der in den Einbaukasten führenden Leitungen auf Dichtigkeit im Sinne eines Abpressens vor der Montage der Sanitärarmatur in dem Einbaukasten werden zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Enden der wandseitigen Rohrleitungen einfache Rohrtücke verwendet und über an dem Einbaukasten angebrachte und bei der Endmontage der Sanitärarmatur zerstörbare und gemeinsam mit den Rohrstücken entfernbare Befestigungslaschen in dem Einbaukasten festgelegt.When in the DE 33 27 829 A1 described sanitary concealed fitting protrude the wall-side inlet pipes formed in the side walls of the mounting box openings in the interior of the installation box and are here connected to the plumbing used in the installation box. In this respect, an adaptation to different installation depths of the wall-side inlet pipes or the at least one water outlet is not provided. To check the leading in the box wiring for leakproofing in the sense of a squeeze before installing the sanitary fitting in the mounting box are used between the opposite ends of the wall-side pipes simple pipe pieces and attached to the installation box and destructible in the final assembly of sanitary fitting and together with the fittings removable mounting tabs set in the mounting box.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach zu montierende Sanitärarmatur mit den eingangs genannten, gattungsgemäßen Merkmalen zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der unabhängig von der Einbautiefe des Einbaukastens jeweils das gleiche optische Erscheinungsbild der Sanitärarmatur mit einer in der Fliesenebene liegenden Rosette oder Abdichtung gegeben sein soll.The invention has for its object to provide an easy-to-install sanitary fitting with the aforementioned generic features available, regardless of the installation depth of the mounting box each be given the same visual appearance of the sanitary fitting with a lying in the tile level rosette or seal should.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus dem Anspruch 1; vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The solution to this problem arises from the claim 1; advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung sieht in ihrem Grundgedanken vor, dass die Sanitärarmatur von zwei vormontierten Baueinheiten gebildet ist, von denen eine erste vormontierte Baueinheit aus dem Einbaukasten mit der darin eingesetzten Umlenkeinheit besteht und die Umlenkeinheit mit vier seitlich daran angeordneten Rohransätzen in die vier an dem Einbaukasten angebrachten Stutzen eingreift und ferner drei in einer zu den Rohransätzen senkrechten Ebene angeordnete Rohrkupplungsstutzen zur Durchleitung von kaltem und warmem Wasser sowie von Mischwasser aufweist, und eine zweite vormontierte Baueinheit aus einem der Bodenplatte des Einbaukastens gegenüberliegenden und den Einbaukasten abschließenden Träger und der daran gehalterten Mischeinheit besteht und die Mischeinheit drei Rohranschlüsse aufweist, die bei der Montage der zweiten Baueinheit an der an der Installationswand befestigten ersten Baueinheit zur Ausbildung eines Überlappungsspielraumes teleskopartig in die an der Umlenkeinheit ausgebildeten Rohrkupplungsstutzen unter Herstellung einer dichtenden Verbindung zwischen der Umlenkeinheit als Bestandteil der ersten Baueinheit und der Mischeinheit als Bestandteil der zweiten Baueinheit eingreifen, wobei der Einbaukasten stirnseitig einen eine Öffnung zur Aufnahme des Trägers definierenden und in seiner Erstreckung bei der Montage des Einbaukastens an der Installationswand einkürzbaren Ansatz aufweist und der Träger einen von ihm abstehenden und bei in die Öffnung des Ansatzes eingesetzten Träger auf der Oberfläche der Installationswand aufliegenden und daran befestigbaren Flansch aufweist.The invention provides in its basic idea that the sanitary fitting of two preassembled units is formed, of which a first preassembled unit consists of the installation box with the deflection unit inserted therein and the deflection with four laterally disposed thereon tube approaches in the four attached to the mounting box neck engages and further comprises three arranged in a plane perpendicular to the tube approaches pipe coupling nozzle for the passage of cold and hot water and mixed water, and a second preassembled unit of a bottom plate of the installation box opposite and the installation box final carrier and the Erten held mixing unit consists and the Mixing unit has three pipe connections, which in the assembly of the second unit on the attached to the installation wall first unit to form an overlap latitude telescopically in the deflecting unit Engage the pipe coupling nozzle making a sealing connection between the deflection as part of the first unit and the mixing unit as part of the second unit, the mounting box frontally an opening for receiving the carrier defining and einkürzbaren in its extension during installation of the installation box on the installation wall Has approach and the carrier has a projecting from him and used in the opening of the approach carrier on the surface of the installation wall resting and fastened thereto flange.

Mit der Erfindung ist der Vorteil verbunden, dass zwei vormontierbare Baueinheiten geschaffen sind, die in einer einfachen Weise derart aneinander montiert werden können, dass sich jeweils das gleiche optische Erscheinungsbild der sichtbaren Funktionsteile der Armatur unabhängig von der Einbautiefe des Einbaukastens ergibt. Die erste Baueinheit besteht aus dem Einbaukasten mit der darin angeordneten Umlenkeinheit, während die zweite Baueinheit aus dem Träger mit der daran gehalterten Mischeinheit als Kernstück der Sanitärarmatur besteht. Wenn nach der Montage des Einbaukastens in der Wand die zweite Baueinheit auf den Einbaukasten aufgesetzt und an der Installationswand befestigt wird, ist es aufgrund der teleskopisch ineinander greifenden Rohranschlüsse der Mischeinheit einerseits und der Rohrkupplungsstutzen der Umlenkeinheit andererseits ohne weiteres möglich, den Träger mit der daran gehalterten Mischeinheit in einem unterschiedlichen Abstand zur Umlenkeinheit zu positionieren, so dass aufgrund dieser unterschiedlich einstellbaren Abstände auch unterschiedliche Einbautiefen des Einbaukastens in der Gebäudewand ausgeglichen werden können. Da die teleskopische Verbindung zwischen den Rohranschlüssen einerseits und den Rohrkupplungsstutzen andererseits dichtend ausgeführt ist, sind weitere Montage- oder Abdichtungsmaßnahmen nicht erforderlich. Soweit der Ansatz des Einbaukastens zur Aufnahme des Trägers einkürzbar ist, ist die Positionierung des Trägers mit der daran gehalterten Mischeinheit in einer exakten Lage an einer aufgebrachten Fliesenschicht oder einer wandseitigen Beplankung der Installationswand möglich, indem der ggf. über die Fliesenschicht bzw. die Beplankung überstehende Bereich des Ansatzes abgeschnitten wird. Somit kann der Träger mit der daran gehalterten Mischeinheit auf der Installationswand montiert werden und liegt dabei an dem stirnseitigen Rand des Ansatzes an.The invention has the advantage that two pre-assembled units are created, which can be mounted in such a simple manner to each other, that in each case the same visual appearance of the visible functional parts of the fitting results regardless of the installation depth of the installation box. The first unit consists of the installation box with the deflection unit arranged therein, while the second unit consists of the carrier with the mixing unit mounted thereon as the core of the sanitary fitting. If, after installation of the installation box in the wall, the second unit is mounted on the installation box and fixed to the installation wall, it is due to the telescopically interlocking pipe connections of the mixing unit on the one hand and the pipe coupling of the deflection on the other hand readily possible, the carrier with the content Erten thereto To position the mixing unit at a different distance from the deflection, so that due to these different adjustable distances and different installation depths of the installation box can be compensated in the building wall. Since the telescopic connection between the pipe connections on the one hand and the pipe coupling nozzle on the other hand is designed to be sealing, further assembly or sealing measures are not required. Insofar as the approach of the installation box for receiving the carrier can be shortened, the positioning of the carrier with the mixing unit mounted on it is possible in an exact position on an applied tile layer or a wall-side planking of the installation wall by possibly overhanging the tile layer or the planking Area of the approach is cut off. Thus, the carrier can be mounted with the mixing unit mounted thereon on the installation wall and rests against the front edge of the approach.

Für Anwendungsfälle, bei denen an die Mischeinheit zwei unterschiedliche Wasserausläufe, beispielsweise ein Wanneneinlauf und eine Dusche, angeschlossen werden sollen, ist nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass in der Umlenkeinheit eine Umschaltvorrichtung für die wahlweise Freigabe beziehungsweise Sperrung der in der Umlenkeinheit eingerichteten Wasserwege zwischen dem Rohrkupplungsstutzen für das Mischwasser und den beiden am Einbaukasten vorgesehenen Stutzen zum Anschluss von Wasserausläufen angeordnet ist. Diese Anschlussmöglichkeit ist in der Umlenkeinheit vorgerichtet, wobei die dafür erforderlichen zwei Mischwasserausgänge in der Umlenkeinheit vorgesehen und jeweils an die zugeordneten Stutzen in dem Einbaukasten angeschlossen sind. Damit sind weitere Montagemaßnahmen vermieden.For applications in which two different water outlets, such as a bath enema and a shower to be connected to the mixing unit, according to one embodiment of the Invention provided that in the deflection a switching device for the selective release or blocking of the set up in the deflection waterways between the pipe coupling pipe for the mixed water and the two provided on the installation box nozzle for connection of water outlets is arranged. This connection option is prepared in the deflection unit, wherein the two mixing water outlets required for this purpose are provided in the deflection unit and in each case are connected to the associated connection piece in the installation box. This further assembly measures are avoided.

Bei der Montage einer Sanitärarmatur an einer Wandinstallation tritt weiterhin das generelle Problem auf, dass die Wandinstallation nicht mit einer korrekten Ausrichtung erfolgt, sondern in einer leicht verdrehten beziehungsweise gegenüber der Ebene der Installationswand verkippten Stellung geschehen kann, was dazu führt, dass die in die Wandinstallation eingesetzte Sanitärarmatur ebenfalls in einer entsprechend verdrehten Lage eingebaut werden muss, was optische Nachteile mit sich bringt. Zur Vermeidung dieses Problems ist in einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die in die Rohrkupplungsstutzen der Umlenkeinheit eingreifenden Rohranschlüsse an einem gesonderten, mit der Mischeinheit verbindbaren Zwischenstück ausgebildet sind. Die Anordnung des Zwischenstücks bringt in vorteilhafter Weise die Möglichkeit, auch eine Ausrichtung durch Verdrehung beziehungsweise Verkippen der Mischeinheit gegenüber dem Einbaukasten vorzunehmen, wenn der Einbaukasten nicht in der vorschriftsmäßigen Ausrichtung eingebaut ist.When installing a sanitary fitting to a wall installation continues the general problem occurs that the wall installation is not done with a correct orientation, but can be done in a slightly twisted or tilted with respect to the plane of the installation wall position, which leads to the fact that in the wall installation used sanitary fitting must also be installed in a corresponding twisted position, which brings optical disadvantages. To avoid this problem, it is provided in a first embodiment of the invention that the pipe connections engaging in the pipe coupling stubs of the deflection unit are formed on a separate, connectable with the mixing unit adapter. The arrangement of the intermediate piece advantageously makes it possible to also carry out an alignment by twisting or tilting the mixing unit relative to the installation box when the installation box is not installed in the proper orientation.

Nach einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Zwischenstück einschließlich der Rohranschlüsse aus einem flexiblen Material gebildet ist, so dass eine Verdrehung des Zwischenstücks gegenüber dem Einbaukasten beziehungsweise der darin festliegenden Umlenkeinheit mit deren Rohrkupplungsstutzen durch die Nachgiebigkeit der zwischenstückseitigen Rohranschlüsse ausgeglichen werden kann.According to a first embodiment of the invention can be provided that the intermediate piece including the pipe connections is formed of a flexible material, so that a rotation of the intermediate piece relative to the mounting box or the deflection unit fixed therein with the pipe coupling piece through the Resiliency of the intermediate piece pipe connections can be compensated.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rohrkupplungsstutzen in der Umlenkeinheit beweglich gelagert sind, so dass sich die Rohrkupplungsstutzen auf eine abweichende Lage der mischeinheitsseitigen Rohranschlüsse ausrichten können.In an alternative embodiment, it can be provided that the pipe coupling stubs are movably mounted in the deflection unit, so that the pipe coupling stubs can align with a deviating position of the mixing unit-side pipe connections.

Wiederum in einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rohranschlüsse gegenüber der Mischeinheit beweglich angeordnet, beispielsweise in einer nachgiebigen Gummilagerung gehaltert sind.Again, in an alternative embodiment, it can be provided that the pipe connections are arranged movably relative to the mixing unit, for example held in a resilient rubber mounting.

Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Rohransätze mit einem durch die Anordnung von Dichtungen auf den Rohransätzen abgedichteten Spiel in die Rohrkupplungsstutzen eingreifen. Mit dieser Maßnahme ist in vorteilhafter Weise bei einer erforderlichen Verdrehung der Mischeinheit relativ zur in dem Einbaukasten festliegenden Umlenkeinheit eine Beweglichkeit der Rohransätze in den Rohrkupplungsstutzen gegeben.Alternatively, it can also be provided that the pipe approaches engage with a sealed by the arrangement of seals on the pipe approaches game in the pipe coupling pipe. With this measure, in the case of a required rotation of the mixing unit relative to the deflection unit fixed in the installation box, mobility of the pipe connections in the pipe coupling connection is advantageously provided.

Zur Fixierung des an der Installationswand montierten Trägers mit Mischeinheit gegenüber dem Einbaukasten und zur Schaffung einer Abdichtung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Träger mit einem Flanschvorsprung in die Öffnung des Ansatzes einsetzbar ist, wobei durch die einander überlappenden Bereiche von Flanschvorsprung und Ansatz die Möglichkeit einer Abdichtung des Trägers gegenüber dem Einbaukasten gegeben ist.To fix the mounted on the installation wall carrier with mixing unit relative to the mounting box and to provide a seal can be provided that the carrier with a Flange projection can be inserted into the opening of the approach, which is given by the overlapping regions of the flange projection and approach the possibility of sealing the carrier relative to the mounting box.

Nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass an der Umlenkeinheit vor der Montage der Mischeinheit daran ein Spüleinsatz lösbar befestigt ist, der mit an ihm ausgebildeten Rohransätzen in die Rohrkupplungsstutzen der Umlenkeinheit eingreift. Dieser Spüleinsatz dient dazu, vor der Montage der Sanitärarmatur mit Mischeinheit an der Umlenkeinheit die Umlenkeinheit abzudrücken und in den Rohrleitungen befindliche Schmutzwasser über die Umlenkeinheit und wenigstens einen der an dem Einbaukasten ausgebildeten Mischwasserabgangsstutzen auszuspülen. Hierzu ist der Spüleinsatz beispielsweise mit Schraubverbindungen lösbar an der Umlenkeinheit befestigt, so dass die Rohrkupplungsstutzen der Umlenkeinheit vor der Montage der Mischeinheit verschlossen sind.According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a rinsing insert, which engages in the pipe coupling connecting piece of the deflection unit, is detachably fastened to the deflection unit prior to assembly of the mixing unit. This sink is used to squeeze before the installation of the sanitary fitting with mixing unit on the deflection of the deflection and rinse water located in the pipes over the deflection and at least one of the built-in box mixing water outlet nozzle. For this purpose, the sink insert is fastened, for example with screw, releasably attached to the deflection unit, so that the pipe coupling pieces of the deflection unit are closed prior to assembly of the mixing unit.

Um eine Verschmutzung der aus Einbaukasten mit daran installierter Umlenkeinheit beim Einbau in die Gebäudewand zu vermeiden, ist nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, dass die Öffnung vor dem Aufsetzen des Trägers auf den Ansatz von einer in die Öffnung lösbar eingesetzten Abdeckung verschlossen ist, die beispielsweise reibschlüssig oder formschlüssig an dem Ansatz festgelegt sein kann. Diese Abdeckung wird nach dem Einbau des Einbaukastens in die Installationswand entfernt.In order to avoid contamination of the installation box with installed deflection unit when installed in the building wall, according to one embodiment, that the opening is closed before putting on the support on the approach of a releasably inserted into the opening cover, for example, frictionally or can be fixed to the approach positively.

Wie sich zunächst aus Figur 1 ergibt, besteht der vorzugsweise aus einem Kunststoff hergestellte Einbaukasten 10 aus einer Bodenplatte 11, aus einem seitlich davon aufstehenden Rand 12 und einer der Bodenplatte gegenüberliegend angeordneten Deckeleinheit 13; als Zugang in das Innere des Einbaukastens ist an der Deckeleinheit 13 ein Ansatz 14 mit einem kleineren Durchmesser als der Durchmesser der Deckeleinheit 13 angeordnet, wobei der Ansatz 14 stirnseitig eine Öffnung 15 definiert. An dem Seitenrand 12 des Einbaukastens 10 sind im Bereich der Bodenplatte 11 Befestigungsohren 16 zur Befestigung des Einbaukastens 10 an einer Installationswand angeordnet. Bei einer solchen Installationswand kann es sich um eine Gebäudewand handeln, in die der Einbaukasten eingebaut wird; auch sogenannte Vorwandinstallationen sind aber von den Einbaumöglichkeiten umfasst. An allen vier Seiten des rechteckigen Einbaukastens 10 sind Stutzen 17 angebracht, wobei zwei Stutzen 17 zum Anschluss des Einbaukastens 10 an die wandseitigen Zulaufrohre für das kalte und das warme Wasser vorgesehen sind, während die beiden weiteren Stutzen 17 zum Anschluss von zwei Wasserausläufen, beispielsweise in Form eines Wanneneinlaufes und einer Dusche, vorgesehen sind, so dass über diese zusätzlichen Stutzen 17 das Mischwasser austritt. Wird nur ein Wasserauslauf angeschlossen, so wird der nicht benötigte Stutzen 17 mittels eines einzusetzenden Stopfens fest verschlossen.As it turned out first FIG. 1 results, consists of preferably made of a plastic mounting box 10 from a bottom plate 11, from a laterally rising edge 12 and a bottom plate of the oppositely arranged cover unit 13; as access into the interior of the installation box, a projection 14 with a smaller diameter than the diameter of the cover unit 13 is arranged on the cover unit 13, wherein the projection 14 defines an opening 15 on the front side. At the side edge 12 of the mounting box 10 11 mounting ears 16 are arranged for fastening the mounting box 10 to an installation wall in the region of the bottom plate. Such an installation wall may be a building wall act in which the installation box is installed; But so-called wall installations are covered by the installation options. On all four sides of the rectangular installation box 10 nozzles 17 are mounted, wherein two nozzles 17 are provided for connection of the installation box 10 to the wall-side inlet pipes for the cold and warm water, while the two other nozzle 17 for connection of two water outlets, for example in Form of a bath enema and a shower, are provided so that the mixed water exits through these additional nozzle 17. If only one water outlet connected, so the unneeded nozzle 17 is firmly closed by means of a plug to be used.

Im Inneren des Einbaukastens 10 ist eine im einzelnen noch zu beschreibenden Umlenkeinheit 18 angeordnet.In the interior of the installation box 10 is a still to be described in detail deflection unit 18 is arranged.

In die Öffnung 15 des Ansatzes 14 ist ein Träger 19 einsetzbar, wobei in dem Träger 19 eine Mischeinheit 20 in Form einer an sich bekannten Kartusche gehaltert ist. In dem Träger 19 ist ferner ein Übertragungselement 28 für eine im einzelnen zu beschreibende Umschalteinheit vorgesehen.In the opening 15 of the projection 14, a carrier 19 can be used, wherein in the carrier 19, a mixing unit 20 is mounted in the form of a known cartridge. In the carrier 19, a transmission element 28 is further provided for a switching unit to be described in detail.

Der Einbaukasten für die daran zu halternde Sanitärarmatur wird komplettiert durch die auf dem Träger 19 aufliegende Rosette 25, auf deren Außenseite ein Griffhebel 26 angeordnet ist. Der Griffhebel 26 wird mit dem Steueransatz 24 der Kartuschen-Mischeinheit 20 verbunden und somit festgelegt. Soweit an der Rosette 25 auch ein Umschalter 27 vorgesehen ist, greift der Umschalter 27 auf das Übertragungselement 28 zu.The installation box for the sanitary fitting to be held is completed by the rosette 25 resting on the support 19, on the outside of which a handle lever 26 is arranged. The handle lever 26 is connected to the control lug 24 of the cartridge mixing unit 20 and thus fixed. As far as a changeover switch 27 is provided on the rosette 25, the switch 27 accesses the transmission element 28.

Wie sich näher aus Figur 2 ergibt, sind zur Verbindung der Mischeinheit 20 mit der im Einbaukasten 10 angeordneten Umlenkeinheit 18 an der Mischeinheit 20 Rohranschlüsse 21 vorgesehen, wobei zwei Rohranschlüsse 21 für die Zuleitung des kalten und des warmen Wassers vorgesehen sind und ein Rohranschluss 21 den Mischwasserabgang darstellt. Bei dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Rohranschlüsse 21 kein unmittelbarer Bestandteil der Mischeinheit 20, sondern Bestandteil eines Zwischenstücks 22, welches mit der Mischeinheit 20 verbindbar ist. Die Funktion des Zwischenstücks 22 mit daran angeordneten Rohranschlüssen 21 wird nachfolgend gesondert erläutert.How to get closer FIG. 2 results, are provided for connecting the mixing unit 20 with the arranged in the installation box 10 deflecting unit 18 to the mixing unit 20 pipe connections 21, wherein two pipe connections 21 are provided for the supply of cold and warm water and a pipe connection 21 represents the mixed water outlet. At the in FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment, the pipe connections 21 are not an immediate part of the mixing unit 20, but part of an intermediate piece 22 which is connectable to the mixing unit 20. The function of the intermediate piece 22 with pipe connections 21 arranged thereon will be explained separately below.

Es ist einsehbar, dass bei in einer Gebäudewand montiertem Einbaukasten 10 der Träger 19 mit daran gehalterter Mischeinheit 20 beziehungsweise Zwischenstück 22 mit den davon abragenden Rohranschlüssen 21 in die Öffnung 15 des Ansatzes 14 des Einbaukastens 10 einzusetzen ist, wenn der Träger 19 mit einem von ihm abstehenden Flansch 36 auf der Oberfläche der Installationswand mittels nicht dargestellter Befestigungsvorrichtungen montiert wird. Soweit sich bei dem Einsetzen der an dem Träger 19 ausgebildete Flanschvorsprung 35 und der Ansatz 14 überlappen, bietet diese Überlappung die Möglichkeit der Anordnung von Dichtungen 23, so dass der Träger 19 gegen den Einbaukasten 10 abgedichtet ist. Bei diesem Montagevorgang greifen die Rohranschlüsse 21, die auf ihrer Außenseite mit Dichtungen versehen sind, in an der Umlenkeinheit 18 in einer zugeordneten Weise ausgebildete Rohrkupplungsstutzen 32 dichtend ein, so dass allein durch dieses Einstecken eine dichtende Verbindung zwischen der Umlenkeinheit 18 und der Mischeinheit 20 hergestellt wird. Anschließend wird der Träger 19 an der Umlenkeinheit 18 beispielsweise mittels einer Schraubverbindung befestigt.It is visible that when mounted in a building wall installation box 10 of the carrier 19 with it held mixing unit 20 or spacer 22 with the protruding pipe connections 21 is inserted into the opening 15 of the projection 14 of the installation box 10 when the carrier 19 with one of him protruding flange 36 is mounted on the surface of the installation wall by means not shown fastening devices. As far as overlap at the onset of the carrier 19 formed on the flange projection 35 and the projection 14, this overlap offers the possibility of the arrangement of seals 23, so that the carrier 19 is sealed against the mounting box 10. In this assembly process, the pipe connections 21, which are provided on its outside with seals, sealingly engage in pipe coupling nozzles 32 formed on the deflection unit 18 in an associated manner, so that a sealing connection between the deflection unit 18 and the mixing unit 20 is produced solely by this insertion becomes. Subsequently, the carrier 19 is attached to the deflection unit 18, for example by means of a screw connection.

Wie nicht weiter dargestellt ist vorgesehen, dass der Ansatz 14 in seiner Erstreckung mittels eines geeigneten Werkzeuges einkürzbar ist. Wird der Einbaukasten in eine Gebäudewand eingebaut, so kann nach Fertigstellung der Wandverkleidung durch eine aufzubringende Beplankung oder Verfliesung der über die Ebene der Beplankung oder Verfliesung überstehende Teilbereich des Ansatzes 14 abgeschnitten werden, so dass der stirnseitige Rand des Ansatzes 14 mit der Ebene der bearbeiteten Wand abschließt. Anschließend wird der Träger 19 mit Mischeinheit 20 in die Öffnung 15 des Ansatzes 14 eingesetzt, bis der Träger 19 mit seinem Flansch 36 auf der Beplankung oder Verfliesung aufliegt und daran befestigt werden kann. Da sich dabei aufgrund des teleskopartigen Ineinandergreifens der an der Mischeinheit 20 beziehungsweise Zwischenstück 22 ausgebildeten Rohranschlüsse 21 und der Rohrkupplungsstutzen 32 der Umlenkeinheit 18 ein Überlappungsspielraum ergibt, können auf diese Weise unterschiedliche Einbauhöhen zwischen der Befestigung des Einbaukastens 10 an der Gebäudewand und der durch die Ebene der fertig bearbeiteten Wand gegebenen Lage des Trägers 19 mit Mischeinheit 20 ausgeglichen werden.As not shown further provided that the projection 14 can be shortened in its extension by means of a suitable tool. If the installation box is installed in a building wall, it can be cut off after completion of the wall paneling by an applied planking or tiling over the plane of the planking or tiling projecting portion of the projection 14, so that the front edge of the projection 14 with the plane of the machined wall concludes. Subsequently, the carrier 19 is inserted with mixing unit 20 in the opening 15 of the projection 14, until the support 19 rests with its flange 36 on the planking or tiling and can be attached thereto. Since this results in an overlap margin due to the telescoping meshing of the mixing unit 20 and spacer 22 formed pipe connections 21 and the pipe coupling piece 32 of the deflecting 18, in this way different installation heights between the attachment of the installation box 10 to the building wall and through the plane of the finished wall given position of the support 19 are balanced with mixing unit 20.

Soweit es im Einzelfall geschehen kann, dass der Einbaukasten 10 aufgrund einer vorgegebenen Lage der wandseitigen Anschlussrohre in einer leicht verdrehten oder zur Ebene der Installationswand verkippten Stellung eingebaut wird, ermöglicht die Anordnung des Zwischenstücks 22 mit den daran befindlichen Rohranschlüssen 21 ein gewisses Verdrehen beziehungsweise Verkippen des Trägers 19 mit Mischeinheit 20 gegenüber dem Ansatz 14 des Einbaukastens 10, so dass die Rosette 25 mit Griffhebel 26 gleichwohl auf der Installationswand montiert werden kann. Die Drehbeweglichkeit des Zwischenstücks 22 gegenüber dem Ansatz 14 kann dabei auf unterschiedliche Weise hergestellt werden. Beispielsweise ist die Ausführung des Zwischenstücks 22 mit Rohranschlüssen 21 aus einem flexiblen Material ausreichend, um eine derartige ausrichtende Verdrehung zu ermöglichen; alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rohranschlüsse 21 in dem Zwischenstück 22 beweglich gelagert sind, um diese Ausrichtung zu ermöglichen.As far as it can happen in an individual case that the mounting box 10 is installed due to a predetermined position of the wall-side connecting pipes in a slightly twisted or tilted to the installation wall level position, the arrangement of the intermediate piece 22 with the pipe connections 21 located thereon allows a certain twisting or tilting of the Carrier 19 with mixing unit 20 opposite the projection 14 of the installation box 10, so that the rosette 25 can be mounted with handle lever 26 nevertheless on the installation wall. The rotational mobility of the intermediate piece 22 relative to the projection 14 can be produced in different ways. For example, the design of the intermediate piece 22 with tube connections 21 made of a flexible material is sufficient to allow such an aligning rotation; Alternatively it can be provided that the pipe connections 21 are movably mounted in the intermediate piece 22 in order to allow this alignment.

Wie sich aus Figur 3 ergibt, kann zur Prüfung der Wasseranschlüsse an dem Einbaukasten 10 und der daran montierten Umlenkeinheit 18 vor der Montage der Mischeinheit 20 ein Spüleinsatz 29 vorgesehen sein, der mit an ihm ausgebildeten Rohransätzen 30 in die zugeordneten Rohrkupplungsstutzen 32 der Umlenkeinheit 18 eingreift, wie dies aus Figur 5 ersichtlich ist. In dieser eingesetzten Stellung ist der Spuleinsatz 29 über nicht dargestellte Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise Schraubverbindungen, fest mit der Umlenkeinheit 18 verbunden. Soweit vorgeschrieben ist, dass im Rahmen der Fertigmontage die Wasserinstallation unter Druck zu setzen ist und auch in den Rohrleitungen befindliches Schmutzwasser auszuspülen ist, sorgt der in die Umlenkeinheit 18 eingesetzte Spüleinsatz 29 dafür, dass die Wasserinstallation einschließlich der Umlenkeinheit 18 abgedrückt und ausgespült werden kann, in dem beispielsweise das in den Rohrleitungen stehende Wasser über einen angeschlossenen Mischwasserstutzen abgelassen wird. Nach dem Abdrücken und dem Durchspülen kann dann die Mischeinheit 20 an der Umlenkeinheit 18 montiert werden, nachdem der Spüleinsatz 29 durch Lösen der Schraubverbindung der Umlenkeinheit 18 abgenommen ist.As it turned out FIG. 3 can be provided to test the water connections to the mounting box 10 and the deflection unit mounted thereon 18 prior to assembly of the mixing unit 20, a sink insert 29, which engages with it formed pipe projections 30 in the associated pipe coupling pipe 32 of the deflection unit 18, as is apparent from FIG. 5 is apparent. In this inserted position of the winding insert 29 is not shown Fastening means, such as screw, firmly connected to the deflection unit 18. Insofar as it is stipulated that the water installation must be pressurized in the course of the final assembly and that the dirty water located in the piping is also rinsed out, the rinsing unit 29 inserted in the deflection unit 18 ensures that the water installation including the deflection unit 18 can be pressed and flushed out, in which, for example, the standing in the pipes water is drained through a connected mixed water pipe. After pressing and flushing, the mixing unit 20 can then be mounted on the deflection unit 18 after the sink insert 29 has been detached by loosening the screw connection of the deflection unit 18.

Wie sich im einzelnen aus Figur 4 entnehmen lässt, weist die an der Bodenplatte 11 des Einbaukastens 10 befestigte Umlenkeinheit 18 von ihr abstehende Rohransätze 31 auf, mit denen die Umlenkeinheit 18 mit den vier in dem seitlichen Rand 12 des Einbaukastens 10 ausgebildeten Stutzen 17 zu verbinden ist. In der Umlenkeinheit 18 ist ferner eine an sich bekannte Umschalteinheit 33 vorgesehen, die beim Aufsetzen des Trägers 19 auf den Ansatz 14 mit dem daran sitzenden Übertragungselement 28 gekuppelt wird, so dass die Umschalteinheit 33 durch Betätigung des Umschalters 27 jeweils umgeschaltet werden kann.How to look in detail FIG. 4 can be seen, has the attached to the bottom plate 11 of the mounting box 10 deflecting unit 18 projecting from her pipe projections 31, with which the deflection unit 18 is to be connected to the four formed in the lateral edge 12 of the mounting box 10 stub 17. In the deflection unit 18, a switching unit 33 known per se is also provided, which is coupled when placing the carrier 19 on the projection 14 with the seated thereon transmission element 28, so that the switching unit 33 can be switched by pressing the switch 27 each.

Aus Figur 6 ist der Zusammenbau der vorstehend beschriebenen Baugruppen beziehungsweise Einzelteile ersichtlich, wobei erkennbar ist, dass die Ebene von Rosette 25 beziehungsweise Träger 19 mit Mischeinheit 20 und Griffhebel 26 sich in unterschiedlichen Abständen zur Bodenplatte 11 des Einbaukastens 10 befinden kann, wobei derartige unterschiedliche Abstände durch das teleskopartige Ineinandergreifen der Rohranschlüsse 21 und der Rohrkupplungsstutzen 33 überbrückt wird.Out FIG. 6 is the assembly of the modules or individual parts described above, it can be seen that the level of rosette 25 or support 19 with mixing unit 20 and handle lever 26 may be located at different distances to the bottom plate 11 of the mounting box 10, wherein such different distances by the telescopic Intermeshing of the pipe connections 21 and the pipe coupling piece 33 is bridged.

Die in den vorstehenden Patentansprüchen offenbarten Merkmale des Gegenstandes dieser Unterlagen können in der beanspruchten Kombinationen untereinander für die Verwirklichung der Erfindung in ihren verschiedenen Ausführungsformen wesentlich sein.The disclosed in the preceding claims features of the subject matter of this document may be essential in the claimed combinations with each other for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments.
