Description

Tap.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a tap of the type of those presenting a laminar water outlet or of curtain.

Background of the invention

In the bathroom faucet sector and toilets the aesthetic appearance of the tap, shower or others is very important, since it must match the style of the stay, for what are done in many different ways.

In addition, striking effects are also sought and functional in the water outlet. So, it is common for some faucets present an atomizer to generate an aerated outlet of the water or have the mouth or exit window formed especially for the formation of a laminar waterfall.

To do this, all faucet devices comprise at least one tubular body of water supply from an external pipe or element, being able to be coupled in said tubular body an accessory, such as a fragment of protruding tube or the outgoing section of a shut-off valve with the outgoing control approximately axially.

However, get these effects, especially the waterfall is complicated and the construction of the taps and showers are laborious and expensive, mainly by performing of cast iron elements.

Description of the invention

The tap, object of this invention, has a series of technical particularities intended to allow a simple manufacturing with elements of simple constitution and that It offers an optimal operating result.

The tap comprises a first plate with a coupling hole at the outlet of the tubular body, a second plate superimposed on the first plate, which also presents a through hole, substantially coincident with the first plate and its hole, a fixing element arranged on the second plate and anchored to the tubular body or an accessory related to he, through the through holes of both plates and some gaskets arranged above and below the set of the two plates. The tap also presents, between both plates, at least one water outlet hole between the plates and a water separating and addressing element so laminate to a lower exit window, by emerge in the form of curtain or waterfall.

Water leaving the tubular body accesses the defined space between the two plates, and is guided to the window output defined at the bottom of the set of the two plates. The two gaskets are preferably gaskets O-rings and ensure the tightness of the set, preventing the exit of water for unwanted points.

The fastening of the set is done in a way easy and simple by means of the fixing element, which properly tight effect the union of all the components, enabling a Quick and easy disassembly with comfort, if necessary necessary. This fixing element is anchored on a part of the tubular body or on an accessory of said body tubular.

The separating and addressing elements they comprise outgoing ribs on the inner face of the first license plate. These nerves can be easily performed by stamping and mainly define the height of the window of Laminar water outlet. These nerves are willing open, preferably, in the form of "V", addressing the outgoing water from the tubular body gradually.

To avoid lateral and posterior exit of the water the separating elements also comprise a cord of sealed between both plates, for example silicone, covering the lateral addressing contour and the back to the holes Thus, both plates are held together, and their position.

In a preferred embodiment the tubular body it comprises a prolonged coupling through the holes of the plates, being in their outline some exit holes and water addressing, its upper end being threaded to the coupling of the fixing element.

The fixing element may comprise a through hole of the control of a valve arranged in the body tubular, for example in the case where the tap is a valve built-in On the underside of the fixing element, it finds a thread of fixation to said valve and a gasket of intermediate tightness. This board collaborates with the board of outer tightness, which for example can be coupled over An additional ring. This threaded ring is arranged on the second plate and coupled to the valve for fixing the plates.

For conventional running water pressure, located between 3 and 4 atmospheres, the separation between the first plate and the second plate is equal to or less than 2 millimeters. Likewise, the diameter of the water outlet holes have a diameter equal to or less than the separation cited between the First and second plate.

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a profile view of a tap without valve.

- Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the tap the previous figure.

- Figure 3 shows a perspective view from the first or lower plate and the water outlet to the window of discharge.

- Figure 4 shows a front view of the tap through the water outlet window.

- Figure 5 shows a profile view of a tap with actuating valve.

- Figure 6 shows a sectioned detail transversely of the tap of the previous figure.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced, the tap comprises a tubular body (1) with a water outlet in which a coupling is located (11) axially extended and on which a first plate is located (2) with a hole (21) of the coupling housing (11) and a second plate (3) with another hole (31) housing the extended coupling (11), both plates being separated (2, 3) by means of separation elements and secured the set by means of a fixing element (4), arranged on the prolonged coupling (11), as a threaded dish. A first O-ring seal (51) is arranged between the first plate (2) and the outlet of the tubular body (1), surrounding the hole (21), and in turn, between the second plate (3) and the fixing element (4), also surrounding the hole (31), is Find a second O-ring seal (52). Between both plates (2, 3) there are exit holes (9) and water addressing, in this case on the contour of the hollow coupling (11), 1.5 mm in diameter approximately for a water outlet pressure of 3 to 4 atmospheres, thus represented in figure 2.

The first plate (2) has two prints outgoing nerves (22) on its inner face, arranged open in "V" shape that defines part of the separator elements and of addressing the water to a front window so that the water falls in the form of thin sheet. Together with these nerves, find a sealing cord (6) between both plates (2, 3), in this case of silicone, which cover the aforementioned ribs (22) and the back around the holes (21, 31), defining in this case a separation of 1.5 millimeters. Such as It is represented in figures 3 and 4, the addressing is optimized by means of a diffuser (7) arranged around the hole (21), with which can be integrated, and which has the holes (9) by its lower side, facing the exit window.

In another alternative embodiment, the tap It is constituted with built-in valve (8) and pop-up control (81) on top. This valve (8) is coupled to the hollow of the tubular body (11) for the exit of the water by some channels around it, and on it is fixed the plates (2, 3) by means of a threaded ring (82) arranged on its contour. In turn, the fixing element (4) comprises a central hole (41) of the drive control (81), being in the inner face of said fixing element (4) a thread (42) fixing to the valve (8) and a gasket intermediate tightness (53), which prevents water leakage, together with the seal (52) disposed between the outer contour of said fixing element (4) and the threaded ring (82).

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
