Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for mounting a valve on a partition.
  • This device also allows the connection of the tap with one or two water supply tubes, which are arranged behind the partition.
  • the faucet can be a sanitary tap, such as a shower faucet, a bathtub or a sink. It may also be the faucet of a household appliance, such as a washing machine faucet.
  • the device provides the connection between the hot and cold water supply pipe (s) and the mixer tap of the bathtub.
  • the water supply pipes and the bathtub are arranged on either side of a partition made from plasterboard, for example of the placo or plasterboard type (registered trademarks).
  • EP-A-2,280,123 discloses a mounting device, or plasterboard tap fitting kit, with a male outlet 3 ⁇ 4.
  • This device includes fittings with a threaded male end, for connection to the tap, and a plate to fix each fitting on the partition.
  • the plate defines openings in the form of a keyhole. Indeed, each opening comprises a portion with a circular contour for the positioning of the connector and a straight portion, for the immobilization of the coupling in rotation about its axis.
  • Each connection is provided with two lateral slots provided to receive the two parallel edges of the right portion of the opening of the plate.
  • the tip is immobilized in rotation about its axis inside the opening by cooperation of the slots with the opposite edges of the right portion of the opening.
  • each fitting is inserted horizontally inside the openings and then slid vertically in the right portion of the opening.
  • a nut is screwed around the tip to prevent vertical movement of the fitting.
  • the length over which the tip exceeds relative to the plate can not be adjusted because it is defined by the position of the lateral slots arranged on each fitting.
  • the length over which the tip protrudes from the plate can not be adapted to the thickness of the wall covering used, which can lead to mounting the valve with a game. in addition, once the coating is laid, there is no possibility to adjust the length on which the tip protrudes from the plate.
  • the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a device for adjusting the length over which the tip protrudes with respect to the plate.
  • the tip of each connection can be moved axially inside the openings, while ensuring immobilization in rotation of the connections inside the openings.
  • the installer can then adjust the length over which the tip protrudes axially relative to the plate, depending on the thickness of the wall covering, such as a tile, intended to cover the partition.
  • the installer reaches the desired position, he screws the nut around the end piece and then secures the nut on the plate to immobilize each fitting axially relative to the plate. If however, the length over which the end piece must protrude from the platen is not good and the wall covering is installed, the installer can unscrew the nut and pull or push axially on the end piece, in order to adjust the length of the projecting tip portion.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a sanitary apparatus, in this case a bath B, which is mounted near a double wall.
  • This double partition comprises an inner partition 1 disposed on the side of the bath B and an outer wall 1 'disposed on the opposite side.
  • the partition 1 has an inner wall 14 and an outer wall 16.
  • two holes O10 and 012 are drilled through the partition 1 for the passage of two water supply pipes T, respectively in hot and cold water.
  • the two holes O10 and O12 have a diameter D10 equal to about 67 mm. They each define a central axis X10 or X12 perpendicular to the partition 1.
  • the spacing E between the axes X10 and X12 is in the example of 150 mm, which corresponds to the standard spacing of a mixer bath / shower.
  • the pipes T extend between the partitions 1 and 1 '.
  • the pipes T are multilayer pipes comprising an aluminum core covered internally and externally with a layer of crosslinked polyethylene (PER).
  • This device D also allows the connection of the valve with the T tubes of water supply.
  • the device D is a kit for fixing a tap on plasterboard.
  • the device D comprises two elbow connectors 4a and 4b, each comprising a threaded end piece 40 for connection to the tap and an angled part 42 for connection to a free end of a tube T.
  • the end piece 40 and the elbow 42 are integral with the one of the other, especially monobloc.
  • the tip 40 has an outer surface with a polygonal section, in particular hexagonal. We talk about a tip "hexagon”.
  • the tip 40 has an external thread 40.1 which is discontinuous on the periphery of the tip 40, that is to say that it does not extend over the flat edges of the tip 40.
  • the tip 40 is a male 3 ⁇ 4 connector for faucets.
  • a tap type mixer can be mounted directly on the device D, without intermediate piece.
  • Each tip 40 defines a longitudinal central axis X40.
  • the device D also comprises a plate 2 for fixing each connection 4a and 4b and thus immobilizing each connection 4a and 4b with respect to the partition 1.
  • the plate 2 is a rectangular metal plate, adapted to be fixed against the wall 14 of the partition 1. It defines two openings 20, in which the male ends 40 of the connectors 4a and 4b can be immobilized in rotation around their axis X40.
  • each opening 20 has an anti-rotation shape, that is to say that it has a polygonal contour, in particular hexagonal, which prevents the tip 40 from rotating about its axis X40 when inserted into an opening 20.
  • the plate 2 delimits holes 26 for the passage of plugs with not shown hollow bodies, which allow the fixing of the plate 2 on the wall 14.
  • the plate 2 also delimits holes 22 which are distributed at regular intervals around the openings 20.
  • the holes 22 are six in number around each opening, in the example.
  • the device D comprises two nuts 5 provided to be screwed each around a nozzle 40.
  • Each nut 5 has a tapping 52 complementary to the thread 40.1 male tips 40.
  • Each nut 5 further delimits through holes 50 which are in number. six and which are evenly distributed around a central axis X5 of the nut 5.
  • the holes 50 are arranged correspondingly to the holes 22 of the plate 2, so that the holes 50 and the holes 22 may be aligned two by two.
  • the holes 50 form through holes for self-tapping screws 11, which make it possible to fix each nut 5 on the plate 2.
  • the device D further comprises two counter-nuts 7 to eliminate the functional clearance between the nut 5 and the corresponding threaded end 40.
  • Each counter-nut 7 defines handling holes 70. These holes 70 are through in the example. They are six in number and are evenly distributed around a central axis X7 of the locknut 7.
  • the device D finally comprises two identical caps 9 provided to cover the male end pieces 40 before fitting the valve.
  • a cap 9 is better visible at the figure 4 . It comprises a tubular hollow body centered on an axis X9, a bottom wall 94 perpendicular to the axis X9 and a flange 96 disposed at one end of the hollow body opposite to the bottom wall 94.
  • the inner surface of the tubular body is frustoconical . It converges towards the bottom wall 94 at an angle of a few degrees.
  • Lugs 90 protrude, relative to the flange 96, on the opposite side to the bottom wall 94. These lugs 90 are in number of six.
  • each cap 9 has internal ribs 92 projecting radially inwards relative to each other. to the X9 axis. These ribs 92 are ten in number and extend parallel to the axis X9.
  • the section of the ribs 92 is triangular and decreasing in the direction of the bottom wall 94.
  • the ribs 92 make it possible to axially immobilize each cap 9 on the endpiece 40.
  • the caps 9 are nonetheless rotatable about the endpieces 40.
  • an installer assembles the elbows 42 of the connectors 4a and 4b at the ends of the tubes T by the chosen means (crimping, sliding, compression, welding) before the installation of the partition 1.
  • the installer then installs the partition 1 and pierces holes O10 and 012 by means of a hole saw, to find the tubes T.
  • the installer then pulls the connections 4a and 4b through the two holes O10 and 012 of the partition 1.
  • the installer passes the tip 40 of the connections 4a and 4b through the openings 20 of the plate 2 and fixes the plate 2 on the wall 14 of the partition 1. For this, it is necessary to place the plate 2 against the wall 14 and to drill holes in the gypsum board 1 at the locations indicated by the location of the holes 26. Hollow pins are then inserted into the wall 1, and screws are tightened inside the wall plugs. As explained above, the tip 40 of the connectors 4a and 4b can be moved axially inside the openings 20, so that the installer can adjust the length L40 on which the tip 40 protrudes with respect to platinum 2.
  • this length L40 is adjusted according to the thickness of the wall covering intended to be placed on the wall 14 of the partition 1. More specifically, the length L40 is even more important that the coating is thick.
  • the length L40 is chosen so that the valve can be mounted without axial play with respect to this wall covering.
  • This wall covering is, for example, a tile.
  • the installer reaches the desired length L40, he screws a nut 5 by hand or with a cap 9 around each endpiece 40 to position each end 40 axially relative to the plate 2.
  • the screws 11 are then inserted into through the openings 50 of the nuts 5 and are tightened with the screwdriver in the holes 22 of the plate 2 to immobilize the nuts 5 in rotation, about the axes X5 and X40 which are then merged, and thus fix the connections 4a and 4b on the plate 2, in axial translation along the axes X40.
  • a counter-nut 7 is then locked against each nut 5 with a cap 9 around the thread 40.1 of each endpiece 40 to eliminate the functional clearance between the external thread 40.1 of the endpiece 40 and the thread 52 of the nut 5.
  • the two caps 9 are then left in position around each endpiece 40 to protect the end pieces 40 before the installation of the wall covering and assembly of the fittings.
  • the tiler covers the wall 14 of the partition 1 with the wall covering, for example with tiling, and adjusts the tile by cutting closer to the nuts 5 and lock nuts 7.
  • the device D allows adjustment of the length L40 if necessary, that is to say after the installation of the wall covering. To do this, simply unscrew the two locknuts 7 by means of the caps 9, inserting the lugs 90 in the holes 70. It is then necessary to remove the screws 11 and unscrew the nuts 5 by inserting the lugs 90 in the holes 50. The installer can then adjust length L40 again to make up for the initial mounting error.
  • Each cap 9 thus forms a means for unscrewing a nut 5 and a lock nut 7, that is to say a handling key.
  • the nuts 5 and the lock nuts 7 could not be unscrewed and then screwed again after the passage of the tiler because the tiles prevent screwing and unscrewing the nuts 5 and the lock nuts 7 with the fingers, as can be done before laying the tiles.
  • FIG. 9 and 10 there is shown a second embodiment of a mounting device D, or kit for fixing a tap on plasterboard.
  • the device D is comparable to that of FR1456306 .
  • the differences with respect to the device of FR1456306 are described for the sake of brevity.
  • the elements of the device which are similar to those of the first embodiment bear the same numerical references, while the other elements carry other numerical references.
  • the device D of figures 9 and 10 comprises a plate 2 in the form of 8, in which the openings 20 for the passage of the endpiece 40 of the connection 4a and 4b have a polygonal contour, in particular dodecagonal.
  • the device D comprises two sets of corners 6a and 6b provided to be each disposed inside a hole O10 or O12 formed in the partition 1 and two expansion rings 8a and 8b provided to be fixed to the plate 2
  • the rings 8a and 8b are axially movable respectively inside the corner sets 6a and 6b so as to push each corner of the corner sets 6a and 6b in a centrifugal radial direction with respect to a central axis of the ring.
  • the plate 2 defines lights 21 to visualize the expansion of the corners of each set of corners 6a or 6b.
  • the corner sets 6a and 6b and the expansion ring 8a and 8b are therefore provided in different colors and easily visible by a user.
  • the number of holes 50, 70 and the number of pins 90 is different from six. Nevertheless, the number of holes 50, 70 and the number of pins 90 remain the same.
  • the openings 20 of the platen comprise a polygonal contour having a number of side different from six or twelve.
  • the polygonal section of the outer surface of the tip 40 may have a number of sides different from six.
  • the invention also covers a device not shown for mounting an insulated valve, such as the tap of a household appliance or a single tap.
  • This so-called “mono-hole” device comprises a plate delimiting a single opening for the passage of a fitting.
  • Such a device is described in FR1456306 and is transferable to this system.
  • the device D does not have counter-nuts 7 and / or caps 9.
  • the cap or caps 9 do not act as mounting tools, that is to say that they do not allow to manipulate the lock nuts 7.
  • the mounting kit then comprises a separate tool for tightening and loosening each locknut 7.
