Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mixing "retractable" tap, i.e., which is able to go from an extracted position with respect to a support plane, to a partially retracted position below the plane itself.
  • the present invention relates to a mixing retractable tap whose actuating lever is arranged integral to the body of the tap itself.
  • a tap comprises a hollow body adapted to be fixed on the surface of a bathroom wash-basin or of a kitchen sink or on the top surface of a bathroom or kitchen piece of furniture, basically arranged so as to cover a hole formed on the support surface to enable the water pipes passage.
  • Said taps generally comprise a first tubular hollow portion, called “body”, coaxially arranged with the hole on the support surface and a second tubular hollow portion, called “mouth”, generally formed in one piece with the body and arranged perpendicular to it so as to project towards the centre of the wash-basin/sink.
  • the mouth is provided with an outlet opening, through which water coming from the water supply and flowing through the hollow of the tap, can be let in the wash-basin/sink.
  • An actuating lever controls the cartridge valve which enables to regulate the water outlet as well as to mix the hot and cold water flow in order to adjust the temperature of the supplied water.
  • Taps of the "retractable” type are known, i.e. taps wherein the hollow body telescopically slides inside the hole formed on the support surface from a position wherein it is extracted above the support surface, to a position wherein the hollow body is partially retracted below it, leaving only a minimum portion above the surface.
  • This type of tap is particularly desirable especially when the wash-basin, or the sink, is placed below a window, and hence, especially when the tap is of a high spout type, it could hamper the opening/closing of the window above.
  • Patent US 4,457,342 shows a retractable tap, in particular for kitchens, whose position is vertically adjustable so that the hight of the water spout can be varied to enable to wash items of different dimensions.
  • the described tap comprises a remote actuating lever, that is arranged separately with respect to the body of the tap itself in order to adjust the temperature and the water outlet flow.
  • the support plane of the tap has to be provided with two holes, the first one for the slidably insertion of the tap body, the second one for the actuating lever.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the known art by devising a tap whose hight can be adjustable in at least two positions, respectively extracted and partially retracted below the support plane and whose actuating lever is arranged integral with the tap itself so as not to have to provide a second hole besides the one to house the tap body.
  • a purpose of the present invention consists in providing a retractable tap constructively simple and practical to use.
  • a further purpose is that of providing a retractable tap provided with preferably mechanical means adapted to enable a smooth movement but also capable to ensure the stability of the tap itself at least in the two extreme positions in order to prevent possible pressure changes from causing undesirable movements of the tap itself.
  • Another further purpose consists in providing a retractable tap which can take the smallest room possible when in the retracted position.
  • One not least important purpose is to devise a retractable telescopic tap to be made by means of the usual and known apparatuses, machinary and equipment.
  • a tap 1 adapted to being arranged on a support surface 20 particularly in correspondence with a through hole 21 formed on said surface 20 to enable the water connection.
  • Said support surface 20 can comprise both the surface of a wash-basin/sink, and also the top surface of a bathroom or kitchen piece of furniture.
  • a fundamental characteristic of the present invention consists in that, said tap 1 is retractable, that is movable with respect to said support surface 20 according to a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the plane defined by the same surface 20 and shown in the figures by arrow X, between at least a first position wherein it is extracted, or working position, to a position wherein it is partially retracted below said support surface 20.
  • the translational movement of the tap 1 into the through hole 21 occurs according to a vertical direction X.
  • Tap 1 comprises a first elongated hollow tubular portion 2, called “body”, adapted to be coaxially arranged with hole 21 and substiantially extending along a vertical direction X and a second elongated hollow tubular portion 3 called “mouth”, joined on the top of said first tubular portion 2 and extending approximatively perpendicular to it so as to project towards the wash-basin/sink and having, on its end portion, an opening 4 for the water outlet.
  • connection joint 23 whereon it is arranged an actuating means 5, such as a lever-type device, connected in a traditional way to a mixing cartridge valve 6, known per se, arranged inside the connection joint 23 and cooperating with two pipes 18A, 18B, respectively the hot water pipe and the cold water pipe, inserted inside the hollow body of the first tubular portion 2; in this way acting on the actuating lever 5 it is possible to adjust both the flow and the temperature of the water let out by the tap by means of opening 4.
  • actuating means 5 such as a lever-type device
  • said actuating lever 5 is integral with the body of tap 1, being arranged on the connection joint 23, and therefore it follows its vertical translational movement; consequently, also the mixing cartridge valve 6, as well pipes 18A and 18B are formed so as to integrally follow the movement of tap 1.
  • a base ring nut 7 is arranged on the support surface 20 coaxially to the vertical tubular portion 2 of the tap, in order to cover the through hole 21 opening: inside the ring nut 7, it is provided an annular seat to house a washer 8, such as an o-ring type elastomer ring, which is arranged into contact with the outer surface of the first tubular portion 2 to prevent water from entering also during the vertical translational movement of the tap.
  • a washer 8 such as an o-ring type elastomer ring
  • a hollow cylindrical guide 9 adapted to guide the vertical translational movement of tap 1.
  • First and second clamping means 10, 16 are provided in order to determine the movement stop of the vertical translating movement of the tap in both directions.
  • the translational downward movement stops when the connection joint 23 abuts against first clamping means 10, that is an annular clamp arranged around the first tubular portion 2, superiorly and coaxially with said ring nut 7.
  • the retracted position is retained simply because of gravity.
  • an annular section 15 having an opening communicating with the inner cavity of the guide 9 is adapted to receive said second clamping means 16 comprising for example a spherical element 11 preferably made of metal or hard polymeric material, and an elastically deformable biasing means 12, such as a compression spring.
  • Said spring 12 is axially inserted inside the opening provided in the annular section 15 and cooperates with said spherical element 11 so as to retain it firmly bound against the outer surface of the first tubular portion 2 of the tap.
  • a grub screw 13 is arranged on the opposed end of the spring 12 and is adapted to control the force with which the spring presses the spherical element 11 against the tubular portion 2.
  • the engaging between the annular seat 14 and the spherical element 11 can be "forced”: in fact, under the vertical thrust and thanks to the seat 14 configuration, the spherical element 11 is gradually driven back into a radial direction biased by the spring 12, until it goes out of seat 14, unblocking the tap movement.
  • the O-ring 8 provided in correspondence of hole 21 can be arranged into contact with the outer surface of body 2 of the tap with an adjustable force, slowing down due to friction the movement of tap 1 downward and thus making it smooth and controllable.
  • tap 1 when tap 1 is in the extracted position, i.e. it is being used, it can rotate around its own vertical axis; preferably, the extent of the rotation can be limited to an angle of 130° through the use of known and traditional means so as to prevent the pipes 18A and 18B from twisting or flexing causing malfunctioning.
  • a tap according to the present invention achieves the expected purposes and the advantages.
  • a mixing "one hole" single lever retractable tap whose actuating lever is provided integral with the body of the tap itself, hence avoiding the need of providing two holes on the support surface 20, the first one housing the tap body and the second one for the actuating lever as shown in the prior art.
  • the tap of the present invention is constructively very simple, as it requires a very limited number of pieces easily found on the market. Even so, the tap of the invention is extremally practical, and easy and prompt to use.
  • the retractable tap 1 will be very space-saving in the retracted position, hence enabling the installation of high spout taps also for wash-basins/sinks placed near a window.
  • the tap could have an overall bulk of only 55mm.
