  • actuation devices for valves in sanitary installations are known in various designs. These actuation devices include, in particular, actuation plates for toilets or urinals for triggering a flushing water flow and fittings for setting a water temperature and a water volume flow.
  • Devices are also already known in the prior art which have a light source connected to a power source, which is used to illuminate the actuating device or the surroundings of the actuating device.
  • the DE 20 2008 005 518 U1 describes an actuating plate for sanitary installations, in particular for a concealed cistern, which has light exit openings and at least one light source is arranged on the rear side.
  • a power supply unit or a battery arranged on the back of the actuating plate serves as the power source for the lamp.
  • the actuating plate has at least one push-button to trigger a flow of flushing water.
  • the light exit openings are formed in the actuating plate itself and / or in the push button.
  • an actuating device for a drain valve of a sanitary cistern which has a cover plate and an operating element, the operating element having a lighting means and with this lighting means being assigned a light guide which guides light emitted by the lighting means in the direction of the cover plate.
  • the illuminant is located directly in the control element in front of the cover plate and the light guide is indirectly connected to the illuminant via a reflector.
  • the light source is switched on via a light-sensitive sensor and thus enables orientation in the dark, but the control is not needs-based.
  • undesirable light emissions can sometimes occur in the living and / or sleeping area.
  • this actuation device can only be used as a unit and therefore does not allow a combination with existing actuation plates.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating an actuating device of the type mentioned at the outset which overcomes at least one of the problems identified above.
  • the fastening frame according to the invention is characterized in that its flange is designed as a light guide or is provided with a light guide, the flange being provided with at least one illuminant.
  • the fastening frame according to the invention offers a space-saving and comparatively inexpensive possibility of creating integrated lighting for an actuating device.
  • the fastening frame according to the invention can both replace a fastening frame of an already existing actuating plate or actuating device or can be used as a new fastening frame for an actuating plate when an actuating device is first installed.
  • the flange of the fastening frame according to the invention is preferably itself designed as a light guide, with a rear side associated with a room wall or front wall and a front side facing an actuating plate fastened to the fastening frame.
  • the flange of the fastening frame according to the invention can be provided with at least one separately produced light guide, for example a frame-shaped, strip-shaped, L-shaped or U-shaped light guide.
  • the at least one separately produced light guide can be applied to the front or the rear of the flange of the fastening frame.
  • the light emitted by the at least one lamp can be homogenized in the flange designed as a light guide or in the separately produced light guide attached to the flange and exit along the full circumference or along at least a partial length of the circumference of the flange.
  • This enables stylish illumination of the flush plate and means that the flush plate is easily recognizable at dusk and in the dark.
  • backlighting of an actuating plate and / or so-called ambient lighting can be generated in this way. These are from perceived as pleasant by the user or customer and can at the same time be used as indirect lighting for a building room, for example a bathroom.
  • the fastening frame according to the invention can also be used as an orientation light in the dark.
  • a fastening frame according to the invention and in particular its flange can be produced at least in sections from an at least partially transparent, translucent or opaque material.
  • Using an at least partially transparent or translucent material in sections can lead to cost savings if the otherwise common materials can be used for the part of the fastening frame that is not designed as a light guide. For example, but not exclusively, plastics and / or glasses are conceivable here.
  • the at least one illuminant is preferably detachably connected to the fastening frame and faces the front of the flange and thus the wall carrying the fastening frame.
  • the detachable connection of the lighting means and the mounting frame allows the use of different lighting means, for example to adapt the light intensity and / or color of the lighting to the wishes of the user.
  • by orienting the illuminant in the direction of the wall unwanted direct illumination of the actuating plate or direct illumination of the illuminant into the building can be avoided or at least reduced by the arrangement and design of the at least one illuminant in the direction of the rear of the flange emitted.
  • a shielding and reflective film can be applied to the back of the flange or to the separately produced light guide connected to the flange, the shielding and reflective film having a reflective side and this to the at least one illuminant or facing the multiple illuminants on the front of the flange.
  • the shielding and reflective film prevents the light emitted by the at least one illuminant from leaving the light guide via its rear side.
  • the light emitted by the at least one illuminant is essentially only radially, i. E. H. is emitted over the full circumference or along at least a partial length of the circumference of the flange.
  • the reflective surface of the shielding and reflective film can advantageously be configured in such a way that this surface is diffusely reflective and / or light-scattering and, in cooperation with the flange, homogenizes the light emitted by the at least one light guide to create a stylish and not to produce dazzling lighting.
  • the front side of the flange is at least indirectly provided with a shielding and reflective film, this film being arranged in front of the at least one illuminant from a front view and its reflective side facing the illuminants.
  • This shielding and reflective film prevents unwanted light emission, which is often perceived as annoying by the user or customer, in the direction of an actuation plate or through gaps between actuation elements and the receptacle of the actuation elements.
  • the use of at least one shielding and reflective film improves the integrated lighting when retrofitting existing sanitary installations, in particular existing operating panels.
  • the at least one lighting means is formed from one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
  • LEDs can be operated with a low voltage that is harmless to humans and can be powered either by batteries or mains voltage.
  • LEDs are characterized by their relatively small dimensions, a long service life and low energy consumption, and they are available in many light intensities and colors.
  • the lighting means is preferably formed from a multiplicity of LEDs and is arranged, for example, on a circuit board or several circuit boards.
  • the individual LEDs can be distributed on the board at regular or equal intervals and / or at irregular intervals.
  • targeted light impressions can be generated. For example, it is conceivable that light emerges more or less intensely in certain directions from one or more circumferential surfaces of the flange designed as a light guide and / or, instead of lighting that is as homogeneous as possible, regular or irregular lighting patterns, e.g. B. a ray pattern or halo can be generated.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the fastening frame according to the invention has at least one receiving point for receiving at least one sensor, in particular an optical proximity sensor.
  • the at least one receiving point is located within the flange of the fastening frame and is arranged on an at least partially or substantially planar surface parallel to the flange, the sensor preferably being detachably connected to the fastening frame, for example being inserted and / or latched.
  • the sensor can preferably detect movements in the building room in question, for example bathroom, and switch on the lighting means or cause it to switch on when a user approaches. Furthermore it is possible that the sensor is designed or prepared in such a way that it only reacts after a certain amount of darkness in the relevant building space. Thus, the sensor preferably also has a twilight function, so that it only reacts from certain light conditions in the vicinity of the actuating device.
  • the senor preferably has stop means, for example collar-shaped shoulders.
  • the fastening frame has at least two receiving points, with at least one of the receiving points preferably being arranged at least partially in the area of the horizontal central axis of the fastening frame, while at least one other of the receiving points is at least is partially arranged in the area of the vertical central axis of the mounting frame.
  • the sensor can therefore be precisely fitted behind a gap in the case of differently designed actuation plates, which is opened by an operating element, e.g. B. a button and a receiving opening of an actuator plate into which the control element is inserted, is limited, positioned and is not limited in its mode of action by the material of the actuator plate.
