Definitions
- the present invention relates to a faucet-door, for coupling to sinks or kitchen countertops mainly, although it can also be attached to sinks, sinks, etc. , including bathtubs and spas, (when manufactured larger).
- this invention is born from the fusion of a tap and a door, resulting in a novel object that combines the characteristics of both, having a single volume to use what was previously necessary to the invention two volumes (one more tap a door).
- the object of the invention is to achieve an optimal aesthetic aspect of the kitchen countertop, increasing its functionality by having more work space, establishing a surface continuity between the faucet-door (closing the sink hole when it does not it is used) and the countertop. All this with a modern structuring, that in an inoperative position presents a minimum volumetry, also offering other functions, such as the inclusion of a detergent dispenser, and operating controls by means of tactile sensors.
- a plurality of household appliances such as microwaves, coffee makers, etc.
- the sink when defining a hole in the surface of the countertop, breaks the aesthetics of it regardless of the type of kitchen furniture.
- a lid whose main purpose is to hide inside the sink certain objects and / or pieces of dishes that have been used before, but always exposes the tap or faucets and the command or controls thereof, it is sometimes even impossible to place or dispose a lid because the position or assembly of the taps is not allowed.
- faucets are known that are equipped with tilting means inside the sink in an inoperative situation.
- the faucet-door that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution, since the concealment of the sink is constituted by said hinged faucet-door and hinged by any appropriate system to one of the edges that limit the sink or the countertop, so that in the out-of-use position of the sink, the faucet-door collapses and covers the hollow of the countertop, hiding the sink, forming the faucet-door a superficial continuity with the own countertop the sink being hidden, regardless of whether objects such as dishes and the like are found inside the sink.
- the sink concealed faucet-door hingedly mounted from an appropriate hinge has the particularity of being materialized in a water-resistant material or a Oxidation resistant material, lined by its upper and lower face by means of an embellishing surface of the color and / or material of the countertop or similar aspect, being able to incorporate a perimeter frame.
- the hinged axes of the door are hollow, so that they define passages and inlets for cold water and hot water, counting said tap internally.
- Door with internal conduits through which to conduct water and dishwasher gel. These elements will circulate through these pipes, which, after passing through the opening / closing valves, flow into the dispensers, which are foldable over the faucet-door body.
- the door thus constituted and mounted in the aforementioned way, is capable of incorporating in its lower or internal face one or several faucets and water supply system, whether they are taps, combination of valves, cutting keys and other parts for the desired supply, that is to say that all these components are integrated in the lower face of the hinged door, so that the taps and their controls are foldable at the time of carrying out the closing of said door, being able to effect the closing of this even if there are pieces of dishes or other objects to be scrubbed inside the sink.
- the manually operated controls will also have a folding character, acting on the corresponding valves that close / open the cold water / hot water pipes.
- valves may be replaced by solenoid valves, so that their opening / closing is governed by tactile sensors, which shall be arranged on a housing with minimal prominence with respect to the inside of the tap-door.
- the tap-door can add more than one dispenser or diffuser, with their respective controls also foldable, so that a second dispenser associated with a detergent tank is established, which is integrated in the tap-door itself, accessible through the edge of the same, or in an autonomous pumping element established under the countertop.
- a third drinking water dispenser from reverse osmosis or similar equipment can be established in the faucet-door body.
- the operation of the tap-door to carry out its opening and closing can be done manually, being kept in an upright position by the action of a spring or pneumatic piston. Likewise, it will also remain in the closed position by means of the action of a pneumatic piston or spring system that tends to move it permanently towards the closed position, after its manual operation. It can also be driven in a motorized way.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a countertop which is equipped with a faucet-door made in accordance with the object of the present invention.
- Figure 2. Shows a view similar to that of Figure 1, but in which the faucet-door appears in an inoperative and retracted situation, with detail of a recess for manual opening.
- Figure 3. Shows a detail in perspective of the assembly with the hydraulic opening means provided for its movement, in which the faucet-door appears diaphanous to allow visualization of the pipes that are established within it.
- Figure 4. Shows a perspective view of the tap-door, object of the invention, according to its inner face, in folding arrangement for its dispensers and controls, and according to the simplest version of the invention, in the one participating a single dispenser.
- Figure 5. Shows a view similar to that of the previous figure, but corresponding to the faucet-door in the operating situation.
- Figure 6 shows a perspective view similar to that of Figure 5, but corresponding to a more complex embodiment variant, in which three dispensers participate, and the actuation thereof is carried out by means of tactile sensors.
- Figure 7. Shows a view similar to that of Figure 6, but in the situation of use of its dispensers.
- Figure 8 shows, finally, an exploded view of a tap-door.
- This door tap (3) in addition to being an oxidation resistant material, will be materialized or covered with a surface equal to that of the countertop itself (2), so that in the closing position of that one a surface continuity or what is the same, a homogeneous aesthetic appearance throughout the countertop (2), completely hiding the sink hole (1).
- the door tap (3) will preferably be defined by a central core (7), provided with internal ducts (8-8 '), whether recesses or pipes that they communicate with the hot (5) and cold (6) water intakes, as well as optionally another series of pipes (8 "and 8" ') intended for the conduction of dishwasher gel or other products, such as drinking water, which are connected through the frame (9) of the door to the complementary product shots (10-10 ').
