Abstract

A water tap including a tap body with a locking element actuated by a spindle located on the upper end of which has a faucet handle having the shape of a one-sided extended lever with stiffening ribs inside its cavity and a stepped through hole having a shape in the lower part corresponding to the upper spindle end, and in the upper part made in the form of a socket for installing a removable element - a water pointer, characterized in that the distance between the ribs corresponds to the diameter of the nests yes to install a removable element - a water pointer with the possibility of placing the indicator element in the cavity of the handle between the ribs and its fixing due to elastic deformation.

Description

The invention relates to valves and taps having control handles provided with removable indicating elements, mainly to water ball valves, and can be used in the construction of control means for water and gas equipment and in devices for making drinks.

The closest in technical essence, adopted for the prototype, is the technical solution having the greatest number of features with the claimed, - Ball valve containing a valve body located inside the locking element, driven by a spindle, on the upper end of which is installed a handle of the crane, having the shape of a one-sided an extended lever with stiffening ribs inside its cavity and a stepped through hole having a bottom shape corresponding to the upper end of the spindle, and in the upper part made in the form of a socket for Settings removable element - water pointer (. See the description of the patent TR 200401748 U, F16K 5/00, published on 21.10.2004, Figure 1.). Such a tap is equipped with two plugs - one red, the second blue to indicate the hot or cold water line (see, for example, ball valve, Article 3243-vlb-250b04 - http://www.minskgas.by/Catalog/brands/ Kalde-klima.aspx is open 07/08/2015). Such a crane is used as follows. The water inlet and outlet pipes are welded into the faucet body, then the water indicator element is installed from the attached kit in the form of a plug of the corresponding color, the second one is thrown out and the tap is used by turning the handle from the “open” position to the “closed” position and vice versa. If it is necessary to disassemble the crane (for example, if the handle breaks down), remove the colored plug, turn out the fastening screw and remove the handle, install a new one, screw the fastening screw and install the plug in the socket, while the plug is often lost (see, for example, https: // otvet .mail.ru / question / 87994324). This leads to inconvenience - the search for a new plug in specialized stores or in repair organizations.

Another disadvantage of this design is the need for additional packaging for a set of plugs.

The objective of the claimed utility model is to increase convenience and reduce packaging costs when selling and using a crane.

To solve this problem in a known crane, comprising a crane body with a locking element located inside, driven by a spindle, on the upper end of which there is a crane handle having the form of a one-sided extended lever with stiffeners inside its cavity and a stepped through hole having a lower part the shape corresponding to the upper end of the spindle, and in the upper part - made in the form of a slot for installing a removable element - a water pointer, the distance between the ribs corresponds to one from the overall dimensions of the removable water indicator element with the possibility of its placement in the cavity of the handle between the ribs and fixing due to the elastic deformation of the element.

The claimed solution is illustrated by drawings and photographs: in FIG. 1 shows the inventive crane, a longitudinal section, in FIG. 2 - tap with installed primary and alternative (different colors) water indicator elements, in FIG. 3 is a photograph of a tap with water indicator elements, top view, in FIG. 4 is a photograph of a tap with a water indicator element, bottom view, in FIG. 5 is a photograph of a faucet with a water indicator element mounted in the handle cavity from below.

The inventive crane includes a housing 1 with a locking element 2 installed inside it, controlled by a spindle 3, connected to a handle 4 by, for example, a screw 5. A hole with a diameter D located at the installation site of the screw head 5 forms a socket for installing the main water indicator 6 The extended part of the handle 4 is hollow with transverse stiffeners 7, the distance between which L = D. Between the ribs 7, outside the viewing area of the installed tap, an alternative water indicator element 8 is inserted (for example, a different color relative to the one installed on the handle above). Thus, the task of completing the faucet with two securely fixed and easily rearranged alternative water indicator elements has been solved.

The inventive utility model is used as follows. At the assembly stage, when assembling the tap, one of the water indicator elements is installed in the socket above the handle fastening screw in a place convenient for the user to see, and the second water indicator element (alternative color) is installed from below into the handle cavity between the ribs. Thus, it becomes possible to save packaging material and increase convenience by saving time on eliminating the mismatch of the water indicator element of the installed tap and the line. After installing the tap in the line, check the color of the upper water indicator element for compliance with the purpose of the line, if necessary, change the water indicator elements in places and start operating the crane. In the future, if repair is necessary (for example, replacing a damaged handle), it is first necessary to remove the water indicator element from the old handle and install it between the stiffeners of the new handle. Then remove the damaged handle and install a new one in its place. After completing the repair, remove the water indicator element from the storage nest between the ribs and place it in a prominent place in the nest located on top of the handle. This completely eliminates the possibility of losing the plug and saves time searching and buying a new water indicator element, which significantly increases the convenience of using the tap.

Claims (1)

A water tap, including a tap body with a locking element actuated by a spindle located on the upper end of which has a faucet handle having the form of a one-sided extended lever with stiffening ribs inside its cavity and a stepped through hole having a shape in the lower part corresponding to the upper the end of the spindle, and in the upper part made in the form of a socket for installing a removable element - a water pointer, characterized in that the distance between the ribs corresponds to the diameter of the sockets yes to install a removable element - a water pointer with the possibility of placing the indicator element in the cavity of the handle between the ribs and its fixing due to elastic deformation.
