Description

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der US 5 465 749 A bekannt. Gattungsgemäße Vorrichtungen offenbaren auch die CN 103 243 782 A und die US 6 328 059 B1 .Such a device is from the US 5 465 749 A known. Generic devices also disclose that CN 103 243 782 A and the US 6 328 059 B1 .

Armaturen, insbesondere Wasserhähne bzw. Wasserspender, werden zur Montage in ein Hahnloch einer Platte eines Beckens oder dgl. mit den Anschlussleitungen eingesetzt. Die in der Armatur mündenden Anschlussleitungen durchragen das Hahnloch und die Armatur bzw. ein Montageadapter wird mit einer Klemmfläche auf den Hahnlochrand aufgesetzt und mit einem von der anderen Seite her an das Hahnloch angesetzten Klemmkörper verschraubt, wobei Klemmkörper und Armatur den Hahnlochrand zwischen sich klemmen. Diese Verschraubung erfolgt von der hahn- bzw. armaturabgewandten Plattenunterseite her, wobei eine Montage dann oft nur umständlich möglich ist bzw. Spezialwerkzeuge und erhebliches Monteursgeschick erfordert.Fittings, in particular taps or water dispensers, are used for mounting in a tap hole in a basin plate or the like. With the connecting lines. The connecting lines ending in the fitting protrude through the tap hole and the tap or a mounting adapter is placed with a clamping surface on the tap hole edge and screwed with a clamping body attached to the tap hole from the other side, whereby the clip body and tap clamp the tap hole edge between them. This screw connection is made by the tap or Underside of the panel facing away from the fitting, whereby assembly is then often only laboriously possible or requires special tools and considerable skill.

Deshalb wurden bereits Vorrichtungen vorgeschlagen, bei denen eine Verschraubung von der hahn- bzw. armaturzugewandten Plattenoberseite her erfolgt. In der DE 93 05 113 U1 wird vorgeschlagen, in einer Bohrung des Armaturenkörpers einen Zuganker mit einer von diesem getragenen Spannmutter vorzusehen. Auf der Spannmutter ist ein Befestigungsanker drehbar angeordnet, der selbsttätig aus einer Montageposition in eine Sperrlage schwenkbar ausgebildet ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass der Befestigungsanker an der Spannmutter so gelagert ist, dass sein Schwerpunkt von seinem Drehpunkt beabstandet ist, womit der Befestigungsanker stets selbsttätig in die Sperrlage verschwenkt. Zur Montage wird der Befestigungsanker in eine Montagestellung geschwenkt, womit der Zuganker durch die Aufnahmebohrung hindurchgeführt werden kann. Kommt der Befestigungsanker nach Durchtritt durch die Bohrung frei, so schwenkt er schwerkraftbedingt selbsttätig in seine Sperrlage. Anschließend kann der Zuganker durch Verschrauben verkürzt werden, sodass der Befestigungsanker von unten her gegen die Unterfläche des Armaturenträgers gezogen und dadurch die Armatur am Armaturenträger festgelegt wird. Mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung ist der Nachteil verbunden, dass die konstruktive Auslegung des Befestigungsankers einschließlich dessen Fertigung und dessen Lagerung an der Spannmutter genau ausgeführt sein müssen, damit die selbsttätige Verschwenkung in die Sperrlage gewährleistet ist, da nach dem Einstecken des Zugankers mit dem daran gelagerten Befestigungsanker in die Aufnahmebohrung praktisch keine Möglichkeit mehr besteht, die Lage des Befestigungsankers zu korrigieren. Entsprechend sind Herstellung und Montage der für die Armaturenbefestigung erforderlichen Befestigungsteile aufwendig. Die Verwendung von Klappdübeln ist aus der US 2002/0120984 A1 bekannt. Allerdings ist bei der bekannten Vorrichtung das gemeinsame Führen von Wasserleitungen und Befestigungsanker durch eine gemeinsame Aufnahmebohrung weder vorgesehen noch möglich.For this reason, devices have already been proposed in which a screw connection is carried out from the top of the plate facing the tap or fitting. In the DE 93 05 113 U1 It is proposed to provide a tie rod with a tension nut carried by it in a bore in the valve body. A fastening anchor is rotatably arranged on the clamping nut and is designed to be pivotable automatically from an assembly position into a locking position. This is achieved in that the fastening anchor is mounted on the clamping nut in such a way that its center of gravity is spaced from its pivot point, with which the fastening anchor always pivots automatically into the locked position. For assembly, the fastening anchor is swiveled into an assembly position, with which the tie rod can be passed through the mounting hole. If the fastening anchor is released after passing through the hole, it automatically swings into its locked position due to gravity. The tie rod can then be shortened by screwing, so that the fastening anchor is pulled against the lower surface of the dashboard from below, thereby fixing the tap to the dashboard. The disadvantage of such a device is that the structural design of the fastening anchor, including its manufacture and its storage on the clamping nut, must be carried out precisely so that the automatic pivoting into the locked position is ensured, since after the tie rod is inserted with the fastening anchor mounted thereon there is practically no possibility in the receiving bore to correct the position of the fastening anchor. Accordingly, the manufacture and assembly of the fastening parts required for fitting the fittings are complex. The use of dowels is from the US 2002/0120984 A1 known. However, in the known device, the joint routing of water pipes and fastening anchors through a common receiving bore is neither provided nor possible.

Um die Montage einer Armatur zu vereinfachen wurde auch bereits vorgeschlagen ( AT 509 653 A1 ), den Klemmkörper als Hülse mit angeformtem Gewindeansatz auszubilden, in den eine dem Armaturgehäuse zugeordnete und an diesem frei drehbar gelagerte Gewindemutter eingreift. Zur Montage der Armatur muss der Klemmkörper von der armaturabgewandten Hahnlochseite in das Hahnloch eingesetzt werden, wobei der Klemmkörper das Hahnloch mit einem Gewinde durchgreift, auf das die Armatur von der Armaturseite her aufgeschraubt werden kann. Umständlich ist hierbei noch, dass der Klemmkörper von der armaturabgewandten Hahnlochseite in das Hahnloch einzusetzen ist.In order to simplify the assembly of a valve, it has also already been proposed ( AT 509 653 A1 ) to form the clamping body as a sleeve with an integrally formed threaded shoulder into which a threaded nut assigned to the fitting housing and freely rotatably mounted engages. To assemble the valve, the clamping body must be inserted into the tap hole from the tap hole side facing away from the tap, the clamping body engaging through the tap hole with a thread onto which the tap can be screwed from the tap side. It is also cumbersome here that the clamping body must be inserted into the tap hole from the tap hole side facing away from the fitting.

Die EP 1 699 981 A1 zeigt eine sanitäre Standarmatur zur Befestigung in einer Aufnahmebohrung eines Armaturenträgers mit einem an dem Armaturenkörper beweglich, nämlich über eine Schraubenfeder, gehalterten Befestigungsanker, der bei der Montage des Armaturenkörpers in eine mit der Aufnahmebohrung des Armaturenträgers fluchtende Lage bringbar und durch die Aufnahmebohrung führbar ist und der nach Durchtritt durch die Aufnahmebohrung selbsttätig seine Sperrlage einnimmt, wonach mit einer Spannvorrichtung, einer in die Schraubenfeder einsetzbaren Spannschraube, der Armaturenkörper und der in seiner Sperrlage befindliche Befestigungsanker gegeneinander verspannbar sind.The EP 1 699 981 A1 shows a sanitary stand fitting for attachment in a mounting hole of a dashboard with a movable on the valve body, namely via a coil spring, held mounting anchor, which can be brought into alignment with the mounting hole of the dashboard and in the position of the mounting hole of the dashboard and guided through the mounting hole and that after passing through the receiving bore automatically assumes its blocking position, after which a tensioning device, a clamping screw that can be inserted into the helical spring, the valve body and the fixing anchor located in its blocking position can be clamped against one another.

Die FR 2994203 A1 zeigt eine in Form eines Zugankers ausgebildete Befestigungsvorrichtung für Wasserarmaturen. Das Verankerungselement ist halbkreisförmig ausgebildet und ist im Wesentlichen in zwei nach oben schwenkbar angeordnete Arme geteilt. Im nach oben geschwenkten Zustand kann das Verankerungselement durch eine Aufnahmebohrung geführt werden. Nach dem Durchführen schwenken die Arme in die Montageposition, wobei die Arme durch eine auf deren Oberseite angeordnete elastische Kunststoffdichtung in Richtung Montageposition federbelastet sind. Eine Verdrehsicherung sorgt für die korrekte Ausrichtung des Verankerungselements und die Ausbildung in Form eines Halbkreises sorgt für einen festen und stabilen Sitz.The FR 2994203 A1 shows a fastening device for water fittings designed in the form of a tie rod. The anchoring element is semicircular and is essentially divided into two arms which can be pivoted upwards. When pivoted upwards, the anchoring element can be guided through a receiving bore. After being carried out, the arms pivot into the assembly position, the arms being spring-loaded in the direction of the assembly position by an elastic plastic seal arranged on their upper side. An anti-rotation device ensures the correct alignment of the anchoring element and the design in the form of a semicircle ensures a firm and stable fit.

Eine weitere Befestigungsvorrichtung für Wasserarmaturen zur Montage von der Oberseiteher ist auch aus der JP 2000120122 A bekannt. Diese verfügt über zwei an einem Haltebügel verdrehbar gelagerte Flügel, welche in eingeschwenkter Position durch eine Durchgangsbohrung geführt werden können. Bei der Montage drehen sie bis zu einem Anschlag nach außen, um schließlich über Gewindestangen bis in die Klemmposition gebracht zu werden.Another fastening device for water fittings for mounting from the top is also from the JP 2000120122 A known. This has two rotatably mounted wings on a bracket, which can be guided through a through hole in the swiveled-in position. During assembly, they turn outward as far as possible until they are finally brought into the clamping position using threaded rods.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs geschilderten Art mit zugehöriger Befestigung so zu verbessern, dass die Befestigungsmittel bei einfacher Herstellbarkeit und geringem Aufwand vereinfacht funktionssicher mit verbessertem Halt am Armaturenträger möglichst ohne Spezialwerkzeuge befestigbar sind, wobei es möglich sein soll Wasserleitungen und Befestigungsanker durch eine gemeinsame Aufnahmebohrung zu führen.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a device of the type described above with associated fastening such that the fastening means can be fastened in a functionally reliable manner, with simple manufacture and with little effort, with improved hold on the dashboard, as far as possible without special tools, water pipes and the like should be possible Guide the anchor through a common location hole.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, dass die Klapphebelarme wenigstens endseitig mit Schonern ausgestattet sind und dass die Klapphebelarme mit die Klapphebelarme in Richtung ihrer Aufklappstellung verlagernden Federelementen ausgestattet sind, wobei die Feder der beiden Klapphebelarme und der klapphebelendseitige Schoner eine Baueinheit bilden. Damit ist es mit verbessertem Halt der Armatur am Armaturenträger möglich, Wasserleitungen und Befestigungsanker gemeinsam durch eine Aufnahmebohrung zu führen. Der Freiraum in der Aufnahmebohrung ist groß genug für ein Hindurchführen der Wasserleitungen und des Zugankers. Dadurch dass die Klapphebelarmachsen in einer Projektionsebene in Richtung der Zugankerachse gesehen einen Winkel von kleiner 180° einschließen ist dabei gewährleistet, dass die Klapphebelenden, die ja für die Klemmung verantwortlich zeichnen, in gewissem Maße gegen die Wasserleitungen vorragen und zentraler unter der Armatur am Armaturenträger angreifen können.The invention achieves the stated object in that the folding lever arms are equipped at least at the end with protectors and that the folding lever arms are equipped with spring elements displacing the folding lever arms in the direction of their opening position, the spring of the two folding lever arms and the folding lever end protector forming a structural unit. With an improved hold of the fitting on the fitting support, it is thus possible to pass water pipes and fastening anchors together through one receiving hole. The free space in the location hole is large enough for the water pipes and the tie rod to pass through. The fact that the folding lever arm axes include an angle of less than 180 ° seen in a projection plane in the direction of the tie rod axis ensures that the folding lever ends, which are responsible for the clamping, protrude to a certain extent against the water pipes and attack more centrally under the fitting on the fitting carrier can.

Erfindungsgemäß muss zur Montage der Armatur, also zur Montage der Armatur selbst bzw. eines gegebenenfalls vorgesehenen Montagekörpers, die Armatur mit den Anschlussschläuchen und dem Befestigungsanker lediglich in das Hahnloch des Armaturträgers eingesetzt werden, wobei der Klappmechanismus des Befestigungsankers nachdem er das Hahnloch vollständig durchsetzt hat, selbsttätig, beispielsweise schwerkraft oder federbedingt, auseinanderklappt, um die Armatur durch Verkürzen des Zugankers, insbesondere betätigen einer Schraube oder dgl., gegen die Armatur anzuziehen, um die Armatur am Armaturträger festzulegen.According to the invention, in order to assemble the fitting, that is to say to assemble the fitting itself or a possibly provided mounting body, the fitting with the connecting hoses and the fastening anchor need only be inserted into the tap hole of the fitting carrier, the folding mechanism of the fastening anchor having completely penetrated the tap hole, automatically, for example due to gravity or spring, unfolded in order to tighten the valve against the valve by shortening the tie rod, in particular by actuating a screw or the like, in order to fix the valve on the valve holder.

Derartige Klapphebel bestehen üblicherweise aus zwei Klapparmen, die schwenkbar an einer gemeinsamen Gewindemutter, bzw. einem Träger mit Gewindemutter, gelagert sind, in die der Zuganker, nämlich ein Gewindestab, eingreift. Der Klapphebel lässt sich bei anschlagbegrenzt ausgeklappten Armen nicht mehr durch die Montageöffnung herausziehen, sodass die Armatur sicher befestigt werden kann. Der zweiteilige Klapphebel kann zudem mit einer Feder ausgestattet sein, die um die Gewindemutter gewickelt ist und deren Enden unter die Klappbügelarme greifen, wobei die Feder die Klappbügelarme in ihrer Sperrlage federvorgespannt hält. Durch diese Federvorspannung können die Klapparme in ihre Montagelage geklappt werden.Such folding levers usually consist of two folding arms which are pivotally mounted on a common threaded nut, or a support with a threaded nut, in which the tie rod, namely a threaded rod, engages. The folding lever can no longer be pulled out through the assembly opening when the arms are unfolded so that the fitting can be securely attached. The two-part folding lever can also be equipped with a spring which is wound around the threaded nut and the ends of which engage under the folding bracket arms, the spring holding the folding bracket arms spring-biased in their locked position. This spring preload allows the folding arms to be folded into their mounting position.

Besonders bevorzugt schließen die Klapphebelarmachsen in einer Projektionsebene in Richtung der Zugankerachse gesehen einen Winkel von kleiner 180° und größer als 90°, insbesondere von 120 bis 130°, bzw. insbesondere 125°, ein. Damit wird der Freiraum für die Durchführung der Wasserleitungen nur geringfügig verkleinert, die Montagefunktion nicht beeinträchtigt und die Klemmwirkung dennoch merklich verbessert, da die Klapphebelarmenden eine größere Sehne über der Aufnahmebohrung aufspannen.The folding lever arm axes particularly preferably form an angle of less than 180 ° and greater than 90 °, in particular from 120 to 130 ° or in particular 125 °, seen in a projection plane in the direction of the tie rod axis. The space for the passage of the water pipes is thus only slightly reduced, the assembly function is not impaired and the clamping effect is nevertheless noticeably improved, since the folding arm ends stretch a larger chord over the receiving bore.

Weisen die Klapphebelarme einen im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, so ist bei einfacher Konstruktion und geringer Baugröße eine maximale Haltekraft für die Armatur gewährleistet. Zudem kann eine die Klapphebelarme im Öffnungssinn vorspannende Feder, insbesondere ein entsprechendes Gummielement, im U-Querschnitt aufgenommen werden. Mit einer derartigen Feder sind die Klapphebelarme in der Sperrlage gehalten. Die Klapphebelarme sind wenigstens endseitig mit Schonern ausgestattet, die Beschädigungen des Armaturenträgers durch übermäßige Klemmkräfte vermeiden sollen. Die Federelemente der beiden Klapphebelarme und gegebenenfalls klapphebelendseitige Schoner bilden eine Baueinheit bilden.If the folding lever arms have a substantially U-shaped cross section, a maximum holding force for the valve is ensured with a simple construction and small size. In addition, the folding lever arms spring biasing in the opening direction, in particular a corresponding rubber element, are accommodated in the U cross section. With such a spring, the folding lever arms are held in the locked position. The folding lever arms are equipped at least at the ends with protectors which are intended to avoid damage to the dashboard due to excessive clamping forces. The spring elements of the two folding lever arms and, if applicable, folding lever end protectors form a structural unit.

Um zu gewährleisten, dass der Zuganker, und hier insbesondere die Klapphebelarmenden stets ordnungsgemäß funktionieren und sich beim Festziehen nicht mitdrehen, kann dem Zuganker eine Verdrehsicherung in Form einer Linearführung zugeordnet sein. Diese Linearführung umfasst gegebenenfalls wenigstens eine, vorzugsweise zwei, parallel zur Zugankerachse verlaufende Führungsstangen. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass die Klapphebelarme beim Spannvorgang nicht in Drehrichtung der Schraube mitdrehen können.To ensure that the tie rod, and here in particular the folding lever arm ends, always function properly and do not turn when tightened, the tie rod can be assigned an anti-rotation device in the form of a linear guide. This linear guide optionally comprises at least one, preferably two, guide rods running parallel to the tie rod axis. This ensures that the folding lever arms cannot rotate in the direction of rotation of the screw during the clamping process.

Der Zuganker kann direkt in die Armatur eingreifen bzw. diese durchsetzen. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Erfindung gehört der Armatur aber ein Montagekörper zu, mit dem die Armatur, lösbar, verbindbar ist, wobei der Gewindebolzen am Montagekörper angreift, und der Montagekörper und der sich in seiner Sperrlage befindliche Befestigungsanker mit dem Zuganker, unter Klemmung des Hahnlochrandes, gegeneinander verspannbar sind. Zunächst wird also der Montagekörper an der Armaturenträgeroberseite im Bereich des Hahnloches angesetzt und mit den Befestigungsankern festgelegt. In weiterer Folge wird die Armatur auf den Montagekörper aufgesetzt und mit diesem, vorzugsweise lösbar, verbunden. Der Montagekörper kann eine Aufnahme für die Armatur aufweisen und dazu insbesondere mit einer außenumfänglichen Ringnut, mit außenumfänglichen Bohrungen, mit einem Außengewinde bzw. mit einem Bajonettverschluss ausgestattet sein. Zudem können diverse Sicherungselemente, wie beispielsweise Wurmschrauben, Splinte oder dgl. vorgesehen sein, mit denen der Armaturkörper am Montagekörper gesichert werden kann.The tie rod can directly engage or push through the valve. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fitting includes a mounting body with which the fitting is detachable, connectable, the threaded bolt engaging the mounting body, and the mounting body and the fastening anchor located in its locked position with the tie rod, with clamping of the Hahnlochrandes are braced against each other. First, the assembly body is placed on the top of the dashboard in the area of the tap hole and fixed with the fastening anchors. Subsequently, the valve is placed on the mounting body and connected to it, preferably releasably. The mounting body can have a receptacle for the valve and, in particular, can be equipped with an external circumferential groove, with external circumferential bores, with an external thread or with a bayonet catch. In addition, various security elements such as for example worm screws, split pins or the like can be provided with which the fitting body can be secured to the mounting body.

Ein besonders sicherer Halt der Armatur am Armaturträger kann gewährleistet werden, wenn der Montagekörper einen in eine Aufnahmebohrung einsetzbaren Zentrieransatz aufweist. Zusammen mit dem Befestigungsanker können somit besonders sichere Montageverhältnisse gewährleistet werden.A particularly secure hold of the fitting on the fitting support can be ensured if the mounting body has a centering lug which can be inserted into a receiving bore. Together with the fastening anchor, particularly secure installation conditions can thus be guaranteed.

Dies kann dadurch unterstützt werden, dass der Montagekörper unter Zwischenlage eines doppelseitigen Kleberinges, insbesondere doppelseitig mit einer Klebeschicht ausgestatteten Dichtringes, in die Aufnahmebohrung einsetzbar ist.This can be supported by the fact that the mounting body can be inserted into the receiving bore with the interposition of a double-sided adhesive ring, in particular a double-sided sealing ring provided with an adhesive layer.
