Description

Battery for kitchens, bathrooms and Similar.

The present invention relates to a battery for kitchens, bathrooms and the like, whose manufacturing cost is substantially lower than known batteries.

Background of the invention

Batteries are widely known in the art. for kitchens, bathrooms and the like, which are formed by a body and incorporate in its drain mouth a valve provided with a plurality of holes to allow water to pass through from the mouth drain.

In known batteries, said valve is a piece independent of the body of the battery that is mounted on it during its manufacturing process.

In addition, in the known batteries said valve It comprises a closing element that allows closing the passage of water to through the drain mouth. This closing element can be a independent valve plug or movable element incorporated into the valve, which must be mounted during the process of battery manufacturing.

Usually the valves are fixed to the mouth drain by perimeter welding, and inferiorly they are fixed to the pipe leading to the siphon by means of a clamp, so that a tight seal is achieved between the valve outlet and the pipeline. For its part, the closure element usually has basket shape and is linked to the valve by a bolt, allowing the displacement of the closing element with respect to the valve.

As is evident, this construction is complex and of a high cost, with a high percentage of material disposal due to the cuts and drains that must be done at manufacture these components.

To solve the aforementioned problems, it has been devised the battery for kitchens, bathrooms and similar objects the present invention, which requires a manufacturing process much more simple and with a substantial manufacturing cost lower, achieving, at the same time, an identical function that Currently known batteries.

GB-A-1 patent 298 801 refers to a lining of a stack formed as a One-piece molding of a synthetic plastic material for fit into a kitchen sink when peeling or cleaning vegetables. It has a cylindrical spike that protrudes downward for its adjustment with the battery outlet, including said liner a portion, which is perforated and used as a filter.

Description of the invention

The battery for kitchens, bathrooms and similar, which is formed by a body in whose lower part it comprises an outlet provided with a plurality of holes that allows the passage of water to a drain pipe, being formed said one-piece outlet with the rest of the body of the stack, and being a cavity provided with a plurality of holes formed at the bottom of the body, characterized by the fact that said outlet is a valve that includes a closing element movable formed by a basket-shaped body that is bolted to a lower joint body that is welded to the bottom of the valve, such that in a First position allows the passage of water through the holes towards the drain pipe and in a second position close the water passage

Thanks to this feature, you get a battery whose manufacturing process is much simpler, obtaining A great saving of material and workmanship.

The battery of the invention also achieves The following advantages:

a) Decrease of the following processes in the valve stamping:

- strip cutting;

- disc cutting;

- valve body stamping;

- trimming of the excess of the print;

b) Reduction of the polishing cost, as it remains included in the cost of polishing the pile;

c) Easier installation;

d) Lower material consumption:

- the higher cost disappears, the main body of the valve, which is now made up of one piece with the battery body;

- decrease in the size of the lower base than it links to the bottom of the stack in the central part where is the drain mouth, since the diameter of the drain mouth it is approximately 50% lower than the hole that forms the drain mouth on known batteries;

- decrease in the size of the board of tightness that is required to seal the bottom;

e) Eliminates the possibility of water losses by the periphery of the valve due to installation defects or deterioration of the seal that seals the valve against the battery;

f) Eliminates the accumulation of dirt on the edge The valve.

Brief description of the figures

For the best understanding of how much is left described herein, some drawings are attached in the that, just as an example, a case study is represented of realization of the battery of the invention.

Figure 1 is an elevation view of the stack for kitchens, bathrooms and the like of the invention sectioned; Y

Figure 2 is a plan view of the stack for kitchens, bathrooms and the like of the invention.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen in Figure 1, the stack of the invention is formed by a body 1 in whose lower part It has a cavity 2 that performs the valve functions. Is valve 2 is formed in one piece with the rest of the body 1 of the battery

Valve 2 is provided with a plurality of holes 3, as can be seen in figure 2, which allow the water outlet to the pipe (not shown).

The stack of the invention also comprises a closing element 4 which allows selectively opening or closing the passage of water through the holes 3 of the valve 2. In the Figure 1 shows an embodiment of said element of closure, which is formed by a basket-shaped body 4 that is connected by a bolt 5 to a lower joint body 6 which It is welded to the bottom of the valve 2.

To facilitate compression, in Figure 2 the cell of the invention has been shown without any closing element, it being clear that the valve 2 is formed in one piece with the rest of the

As is evident, the closing element of the valve does not necessarily have to be the one represented in the figure one.

They will be independent of the object of the invention the materials used in the manufacture of the components of the stack, shapes and dimensions thereof and all the details accessories that may arise, as long as they do not affect your essentiality, which is defined in the claims attached.
