Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a kit for a tap system of the type specified in the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Modules for kits to set up a tap system are currently known, for example from patent applications EP-A-1728931 , DE-U-20319169 and GB-A-453386 .
  • They generally comprise water delivery and regulation means, such as nozzles, taps, mixers, spouts of various shapes and disposed in various positions, for example for a shower, or to deliver water into a bathtub, a wash-hand basin or the like.
  • water delivery and regulation means such as nozzles, taps, mixers, spouts of various shapes and disposed in various positions, for example for a shower, or to deliver water into a bathtub, a wash-hand basin or the like.
  • buried systems must be sized and structured for the type of installation required.
  • the modules need to be aligned or arranged perpendicular to each other.
  • This plurality of systems necessarily translates into considerable costs and surpluses to keep the warehouse stocked.
  • the plurality of systems also gives rise to errors in the layout and installation thereof. Above all, a variation of the water systems requires significant works to replace existing systems.
  • the technical aim underlying the present invention is to devise a tap system suitable to be buried or embedded, capable of substantially overcoming the aforesaid drawbacks.
  • an important object of the invention is to obtain a kit for a tap system which facilitates different installations according to use and available spaces.
  • the correct angle between the modules is facilitated by the parallelepiped shaped elements which allow simple visual coupling.
  • Another important object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive tap system.
  • the tap system according to the invention is indicated as a whole with the number 1.
  • control device 2 It comprises, in the most complete configuration thereof, a control device 2, at least one diverter element 6, a branching element 9 and spout means 3 suitable to deliver fluid.
  • the spout means 3 can be realized by a spout for a shower 3a, for a wash-hand basin, for a bathtub 3b, by nozzles for whirlpool baths and showers and the like.
  • Said elements and devices 2, 6 and 9 are mutually composable and connectable in a plurality of different configurations adaptable for any requirement.
  • they are made of materials for taps such as stainless steel, brass or the like.
  • the tap system 1 is suitable to be installed buried and defines a main extension plane 1a substantially parallel to the extension plane of a wall 21 in which said system is disposed.
  • said elements and devices 2, 6, 9 are mutually engageable in fluid communication along an axis of alignment 1 b lying in the extension plane 1 a.
  • control device 2 is suitable to regulate the delivery of fluid, i.e. the quantity and temperature thereof, and comprises an actuator 2a, commonly a tap or a mixer, which extends perpendicular to the main extension plane 1 a.
  • first inlet connections 4 suitable to connect, in fluid communication, the control device 2 with inlet ducts 20 suitable to supply fluid to the tap system 1, and a plurality of first outlet connections 5 suitable to be connected, in fluid communication, to the spout means 3.
  • connection 5 is preferably indirect, and therefore other elements are preferably interposed as described in more detail below.
  • first outlet connections 5 are oriented parallel to the main extension plane 1 a.
  • the term direction of orientation of the connections is intended that said connections are suitable to allow the passage of fluid which moves in the same directions.
  • the connections define a port whose area is perpendicular to the direction of orientation of these connections.
  • the control device 2 comprises an inner body 2b substantially parallelepiped in shape and suitable to be disposed inside a wall 21 and connected along a first face to the actuator 2a.
  • the inner body 2b comprises said inlet connections 4, realized by known pipe connections, preferably two of which are present, for hot and cold water, preferably disposed along a face perpendicular to said first face, and three outlet connections 5 each disposed along the remaining faces perpendicular to said first face, as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the diverter element 6 instead comprises a second inlet connection 7 suitable to be connected, in fluid communication, with a first outlet connection 5 and a second outlet connection 8 suitable to be connected to spout means 3.
  • connection 8 is preferably direct, and therefore other elements are not interposed between it and the spout means 3.
  • the diverter element 6 can preferably be disposed entirely inside a wall and the second inlet 7 and outlet 8 connections are preferably oriented in perpendicular directions.
  • the diverter element 6 is also preferably parallelepiped shaped, as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the branching element 9 in turn comprises a third inlet connection 10 suitable to be connected, mechanically and in fluid communication, with a first outlet connection 5, and a plurality of third outlet connections 11 each suitable to be connected, directly or indirectly, to spout means 3.
  • third outlet connections 11 are present, oriented one in a parallel direction and one in a perpendicular direction to the third inlet connection 10.
  • the branching element 9 also comprises a valve 12 suitable to select at least one, and preferably only one, of the third outlet connections 11.
  • the valve 12 is of known type and preferably comprises a control button 12a and a valve body 12b suitable to divert the flow of the fluid.
  • the branching element 9 also preferably comprises a main body 9a substantially parallelepiped in shape suitable to be disposed inside a wall 21 and shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the third outlet connections 11 can be connected, mechanically and in fluid communication, to the second inlet connection 7.
  • each of the second and third inlet connection 7, 10 can be connected, mechanically and in fluid communication, with one among the first, second and third outlet connections 5, 8, 11.
  • inlet and outlet connections can preferably be connected to standard pipes 22, rigid or flexible, so that the system is even more variable.
  • control device 2 the diverter element 6, the branching element 9, any pipes 22 and the spout means 3 are variedly composed according to spaces and needs.
  • insulating plates 13, having an aesthetic function can be provided at the intersection between the wall 21 and portions projecting therefrom, such as spout means 3 or the control device 2 or yet again the valve 12. Moreover, at the intersection between the wall 21 and portions projecting therefrom, such as spout means 3 or the control device 2 or yet again the valve 12, insulating plates 13, having an aesthetic function, can be provided. Moreover, the insulating plates 13, shown in Fig. 3 , can be provided separate for each projecting portion or a single plate can be provided. The first solution achieves advantages of further modularity of the system.
  • the spout means 3 are preferably constrained to the diverter element 6, which allows the spout means 3 to be oriented directly towards the outside of the wall 21.
  • pipes 22 which cover greater distances are used.
  • Fig. 1 shows a tap system 2 for a bathtub with shower including two spouts 3a and 3b. Therefore, a branching element 8 is provided to allow selection of the spout 3a.
  • Fig. 2 instead shows a system 1 for a shower including only one spout 3a. Therefore, there is no branching element 8, which is also absent in Fig. 3 showing a system 1 for a wash-hand basin or bathtub.
  • first outlet connections 5 of the control device 2 can be used, to position the spouts in different positions.
  • the first outlet connections 5 can therefore be closed using specific fluid-tight caps.
  • the diverter element 6 can have a second outlet connection 8 facing in the direction of the plane 1a, to be connected to a pipe 22 or the like, or in a direction perpendicular to the plane 1a, to be constrained directly to a spout 3a or 3b.
  • the parallelepipeds forming the diverter element 6, the branching element 9 and conveniently also the control device 2 have a square base, as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the invention achieves the objects proposed and allows important advantages.
  • the tap system 1 allows different installations according to use and available spaces.
