Abstract
Description
-1- La présente invention concerne une tête de robinet de type alimentaire-1- The present invention relates to a tap head of the food type
qui permet l'écoulement ou l'arret de l'eau sanitaire,chaude ou froide,sans pollution de l'eau par le plomb qui pourrait être largué lors de son utilisation.5 Les têtes des robinets céramiques actuelles comportent deux composants principaux,le corps (1) et l'axe (2) qui sont en which allows the flow or stopping of hot or cold sanitary water, without pollution of the water by lead which could be released during its use.5 The heads of current ceramic taps have two main components, the body (1) and the axis (2) which are in
contact avec l'eau sanitaire lors de l'utilisation.Ces deux composants métalliques sont principalement issus de barres d'un alliage constitué de cuivre,de zinc et de plomb.Cet allia-10 ge communément appelé "laiton de décolletage" peut contenir jusqu'à 3% de plomb. contact with sanitary water during use. These two metallic components are mainly produced from bars of an alloy made up of copper, zinc and lead. This alloy commonly known as "free-cutting brass" can contain up to '' at 3% lead.
En utilisation courante, de la tête de robinet actuelle,le plomb contenu dans les deux composants principaux peut migrer dans l'eau et de ce fait nuire à la santé des personnes.Ces15 exigences d'alimentarité, d'abord Californiennes aux U.S.A., deviennent maintenant'mondiales et se généralisent compte tenu des effets néfastes du plomb sur l'organisme humain. La présente tête de robinet selon l'invention permet de remédier à cette question.Le caractère d'alimentarité tient au In current use, from the current faucet head, the lead contained in the two main components can migrate into the water and thereby harm the health of people.These 15 food requirements, first Californians in the USA, become now global and are spreading due to the harmful effects of lead on the human body. The present valve head according to the invention overcomes this question.
fait que les deux éléments -composants principaux-le corps (1) et l'axe (2) ne comportent pas de plomb.Un nouvel ensemble bi- fact that the two main components - the body (1) and the axis (2) do not contain lead.
matériaux est constitué selon le mode particulier de réalisa- tion suivant. Le corps (1) est constitué de matière plastique de qualité alimentaire,associée et chargée de fibres de renforcement.Il est réalisé par un procédé d'injection de matières plastiques, selon les techniques courantes de transformation. L'axe (2) est constitué d'acier inoxydable de type alimen- taire,également réalisé selon les techniques courantes de transformation.Les dessins (1),(2),(3) illustrent l'invention. Tous les autres composants sont de type alimentaire et sans plomb. Cette composante bi-matériaux,est la résultante de l'adéqua- tion entre d'une part,les critères d'alimentarité des deux35 composants principaux et les exigences mécaniques d'autre part nécessaires pour pouvoir assurer une bonne durée de vie du produit. Les essais réalisés sur les tenues mécaniques des composants -2- et les étanchéités à l'eau ont montrés que les résultats sont au moins égals et supérieurs à ceux réalisés avec les produits actuels.Ces résultats se comparent aux normes en vigueur par rapport aux 500000 cycles correspondant à la durée de vie5 actuelle des produits.Les résultats obtenus s'expliquent par le fait de l'amélioration des zones de contact axiales et de rotation,des conditions de frottement résultants des composan- tes de frottement entre les produits métalliques et plastiques associés à de bonnes résistances mécaniques.10 Indépendamment du caractère d'alimentarité, les améliora- tions techniques suivantes ont permis,outre la réduction du nombre de composants,les caractérisations suivantes: un joint adhérisé monobloc (3),un dispositif de maintien (4),un dis- positif de pinçage (5),une languette médiane (10),un raidis-15 seur (11),un joint annelé,étagé,à double gorge (6),une butée élargie (12),des surfaces de contact augmentées;axiales (15) (16) et radiales (18) (19), un dispositif de serrage controlé (13). Ces nouvelles têtes de robinetterie ont aussi un cout de materials is made up according to the following particular embodiment. The body (1) is made of food-grade plastic material, associated and loaded with reinforcing fibers. It is produced by an injection process of plastic materials, according to current processing techniques. The axis (2) is made of food-type stainless steel, also produced according to current processing techniques. The drawings (1), (2), (3) illustrate the invention. All other components are food-grade and lead-free. This bi-material component is the result of the adequacy between on the one hand, the food criteria of the two main components and the mechanical requirements on the other hand necessary to be able to ensure a good product life. Tests carried out on the mechanical strength of the components -2- and the water tightness showed that the results are at least equal and superior to those carried out with current products. These results compare with the standards in force compared to 500,000 cycles corresponding to the current lifetime5 of the products. The results obtained are explained by the fact of the improvement of the axial contact and rotation zones, of the friction conditions resulting from the friction components between metallic and plastic products. associated with good mechanical resistance. 10 Independently of the feed character, the following technical improvements have enabled, in addition to the reduction in the number of components, the following characterizations: a monobloc bonded joint (3), a holding device (4 ), a clamping device (5), a central tongue (10), a stiffener (11), a ringed, stepped, double-grooved joint (6), a e enlarged stop (12), increased contact surfaces; axial (15) (16) and radial (18) (19), a controlled clamping device (13). These new tap heads also have a cost of
