Description

KIT UNIVERSAL DE CONEXIÓN RÁPIDA PARA MONTAJE DE UN GRIFO SOBRE UNA SUPERFICIE CON UN ORIFICIO PASANTE UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECTION KIT FOR SURFACE MOUNTING A FAUCET WITH A THROUGH HOLE
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un kit universal de conexión rápida para montaje de un grifo sobre una superficie con un orificio pasante, aportando, a la función a que se destina, ventajas y características, que se describen en detalle más adelante, que suponen una mejora del estado actual de la técnica. The invention, as expressed in the statement of this descriptive report, refers to a universal quick connection kit for mounting a faucet on a surface with a through hole, providing, to the function for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below, which represent an improvement on the current state of the art.
El objeto de la presente invención recae en un dispositivo conformado por un conjunto de elementos a modo de kit universal, cuya finalidad es proporcionar un medio práctico, rápido y cómodo para montaje de griferías que se disponen sobre una superficie con un orificio pasante y que, además de la ventaja de permitir la instalación de dicho tipo de grifos de modo más accesible, fijándose desde arriba, evitando que sea necesario sujetarlo al mismo tiempo por debajo de la superficie en que se instala, cuenta con unos tubos intercambiables que conectan la conexión de los latiguillos del agua fría y/o caliente en la pieza de soporte principal de dicho kit con la salida del agua dentro del grifo, permitiendo que se puedan colocar los que interese para cada modelo de grifo, según la longitud que convenga. The object of the present invention lies in a device made up of a set of elements in the form of a universal kit, the purpose of which is to provide a practical, fast and comfortable means for mounting taps that are arranged on a surface with a through hole and that, In addition to the advantage of allowing the installation of this type of faucet in a more accessible way, being fixed from above, avoiding the need to hold it at the same time below the surface on which it is installed, it has interchangeable tubes that connect the connection of the cold and/or hot water hoses in the main support piece of said kit with the water outlet inside the faucet, allowing the ones of interest to be placed for each faucet model, according to the appropriate length.
CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de accesorios de fontanería, centrándose particularmente en el ámbito de los dispositivos y medios de conexión para la instalación y fijación de griferías. The field of application of the present invention falls within the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of plumbing accessories, focusing particularly on the field of connection devices and means for the installation and fixing of taps.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, la instalación de grifos sobre superficie con un orificio pasante, normalmente, se efectúa a través de un tornillo con tuerca que se debe apretar por la parte inferior de la superficie en que se instala, lo cual, cuando dicha superficie ya está instalada puede suponer un problema y, en todo caso, una incomodidad por el difícil acceso que suele conllevar acceder a dicha tuerca. Así pues, un objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, evitar dicha necesidad de acceder por la parte inferior que dificulta la instalación de los grifos, mediante el desarrollo de un sistema que, además, una vez instalado el dispositivo de conexión que se ha desarrollado en la presente invención, también sea mucho más fácil poder cambiar el grifo manteniendo el mismo conector. As is known, the installation of faucets on a surface with a through hole is normally carried out through a screw with a nut that must be tightened at the bottom of the surface on which it is installed, which, when said surface is already installed can be a problem and, in any case, an inconvenience due to the difficult access that accessing said nut usually entails. Thus, an objective of the present invention is, then, to avoid said need to access from the bottom that hinders the installation of the taps, through the development of a system that, in addition, once the connection device that has been installed developed in the present invention, it is also much easier to be able to change the faucet while maintaining the same connector.
Por otra parte, aunque en el mercado ya se conocen algunos sistemas que solventan dicha problemática mediante soluciones alternativas, existe un segundo inconveniente que no es resulto por ninguno de los sistemas conocidos. En concreto, se trata de los tubos que conectan las fijaciones de los latiguillos que llevan el agua fría y/o caliente al tubo hasta la salida de dicha agua fría o caliente por el grifo, los cuales, dado que existen múltiples modelos y formas de grifos distintos, tienen distinta longitud, para poder quedar correctamente alojados en el interior del grifo. On the other hand, although some systems are already known on the market that solve this problem through alternative solutions, there is a second drawback that is not solved by any of the known systems. Specifically, it is about the tubes that connect the fixings of the hoses that carry the cold and/or hot water to the tube until the outlet of said cold or hot water through the tap, which, since there are multiple models and ways of Different taps have different lengths, in order to be correctly housed inside the tap.
En concreto, el documento ES2600004T3 divulga un grifo diseñado para una mayor facilidad de fijación a una superficie con un orificio pasante y no un kit universal para la instalación de cualquier grifo sobre una superficie con un orificio pasante. El grifo divulgado en ES2600004T3 no resuelve la problemática de los tubos interiores al grifo que van desde la pieza que se fija en la superficie hasta la entrada de agua al grifo al ser estos tubos fijos y solidarios a la pieza y por lo tanto no es posible cambiar de modelo de grifo con este sistema. Este problema es el que la presente invención soluciona de modo óptimo mediante la inclusión de tubos intercambiables y preferentemente flexibles. Como los tubos del grifo divulgado en ES2600004T3 son rígidos, es decir no flexibles, no es posible corregir una falta de simetría en la superficie donde se asienta el grifo y por lo tanto el grifo podría no quedar perpendicular a la superficie. Specifically, document ES2600004T3 discloses a faucet designed for greater ease of fixing to a surface with a through hole and not a universal kit for the installation of any faucet on a surface with a through hole. The tap disclosed in ES2600004T3 does not solve the problem of the inner tubes to the tap that go from the piece that is fixed on the surface to the water inlet to the tap, since these tubes are fixed and integral to the piece and therefore it is not possible change faucet models with this system. It is this problem that the present invention optimally solves by including interchangeable and preferably flexible tubes. As the tubes of the faucet disclosed in ES2600004T3 are rigid, that is, not flexible, it is not possible to correct a lack of symmetry in the surface where the faucet sits and therefore the faucet may not be perpendicular to the surface.
Otra desventaja del grifo divulgado en ES2600004T3 es que no permite la colocación de la pieza de soporte con los dos latiguillos ya fijados a la pieza de soporte y obliga al usuario a colocar un latiguillo por debajo de la superficie una vez la pieza de soporte ha sido fijada en la superficie. Igualmente es necesario desanclar un latiguillo por debajo de la superficie cuando se quiere sustituir la pieza de soporte. Another disadvantage of the tap disclosed in ES2600004T3 is that it does not allow the placement of the support piece with the two hoses already fixed to the support piece and forces the user to place a hose below the surface once the support piece has been fixed on the surface. It is also necessary to unanchor a hose below the surface when you want to replace the support part.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
El kit universal de conexión rápida para montaje de grifería sobre superficie con un orificio pasante que la invención propone se configura como la solución idónea a los objetivos anteriormente señalados, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible y que lo distinguen convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente descripción.

Specifically, what the invention proposes, as previously noted, is a device, made up of a set of elements in the form of a universal kit, the purpose of which is to provide a practical, fast and comfortable means for universal mounting of faucets that are arranged on surface with a through hole.
Así, un objetivo esencial de la presente invención es proporcionar un kit que, además de permitir la instalación de dicho tipo de grifos de modo accesible, fijándose prácticamente solo desde arriba, evitando que sea necesario sujetarlo al mismo tiempo y durante toda la operación de apriete por debajo de la superficie en la cual se instala, se constituye como sistema auténticamente universal y apto para utilizarse con cualquier modelo de grifo de los acoplables al orificio de la superficie en que se instala, independientemente de la altura o forma del mismo. Thus, an essential objective of the present invention is to provide a kit that, in addition to allowing the installation of said type of taps in an accessible manner, being fixed practically only from above, avoiding the need to hold it at the same time and during the entire tightening operation. below the surface on which it is installed, it constitutes a truly universal system and suitable for use with any faucet model that can be attached to the hole on the surface on which it is installed, regardless of its height or shape.
Para ello, dicho Kit universal de conexión rápida para montaje de un grifo sobre una superficie con un orificio pasante comprende esencialmente, de manera conocida, una pieza de soporte independiente del grifo que, a su vez, comprende To this end, said universal quick connection kit for mounting a faucet on a surface with a through hole essentially comprises, in a known manner, an independent support part for the faucet which, in turn, comprises
• medios de sujeción de la pieza de soporte a dicho orificio de la superficie • means for fastening the support piece to said hole in the surface
• medios para conectar fijar los latiguillos del agua fría y/o caliente a la parte inferior de la pieza de soporte • means to connect fix the cold and/or hot water hoses to the lower part of the support piece
• medios para conducir el agua fría y/o caliente desde la parte superior de la pieza de soporte a la entrada de agua en el grifo • Means for conducting cold and/or hot water from the upper part of the support piece to the water inlet in the faucet.
• y medios de acople y fijación de la pieza de soporte al grifo de tal manera que, una vez el grifo está acoplado sobre la pieza de soporte, el agua fría y/o caliente que entra en el soporte por su parte inferior desde los latiguillos de agua fría y/o caliente, atraviesa dicho soporte y sale conducida por su parte superior entrando al grifo, y de tal manera que, tanto la instalación como, en su caso, la posterior extracción del grifo, se realiza desde la parte superior de la superficie una vez que se ha sujetado la pieza de soporte a la superficie. Y, a partir de dicha configuración, el kit objeto de la presente invención se distingue, esencialmente, en que los citados medios para conducir el agua fría y/o caliente desde la parte superior de la pieza de soporte hasta su salida dentro del grifo consisten en al menos un tubo, preferentemente dos tubos, que, ventajosamente, son intercambiables entre diferentes longitudes de tubo, es decir, que se pueden poner y sacar, permitiendo que se puedan colocar los de la longitud que interese para cada modelo de grifo de manera que se ajusten a la distancia existente entre la base del grifo, donde este se fija a la pieza de soporte y la salida del agua en el otro extremo del grifo. • and means for coupling and fixing the support piece to the faucet in such a way that, once the faucet is coupled to the support part, the cold and/or hot water that enters the support through its lower part from the hoses of cold and/or hot water, goes through said support and is led through its upper part entering the faucet, and in such a way that both the installation and, where appropriate, the subsequent extraction of the faucet, are carried out from the upper part of the faucet. the surface after the support piece has been attached to the surface. And, based on said configuration, the kit that is the object of the present invention is distinguished, essentially, in that the aforementioned means for conducting the cold and/or hot water from the upper part of the support piece to its outlet inside the faucet consist of in at least one tube, preferably two tubes, which, advantageously, are interchangeable between different tube lengths, that is, they can be inserted and removed, allowing the length of interest for each faucet model to be placed in such a way that fit the distance between the base of the faucet, where it is fixed to the support piece, and the water outlet at the other end of the faucet.
El hecho de utilizar tubos intercambiables permite utilizar el kit objeto de la presente invención en un gran número de grifos. Para ello basta en seleccionar los tubos para que sean de una longitud tal que una vez fijados en las entradas de agua en el grifo, donde habitualmente se fijan los latiguillos, cuando se coloca el grifo con los tubos ja fijados sobre la pieza de soporte, los tubos encajen en los orificios a tal efecto previstos en la pieza de soporte. The fact of using interchangeable tubes allows the kit object of the present invention to be used in a large number of taps. To do this, it is enough to select the tubes so that they are of such a length that once fixed in the water inlets in the tap, where the hoses are usually fixed, when the tap is placed with the tubes fixed on the support piece, the tubes fit into the holes provided for this purpose in the support part.
Además, dichos tubos, preferentemente son flexibles de manera que se pueden adaptar a la forma del grifo y/o modificar ligeramente su posición en caso de que ésta, una vez fijada la pieza de soporte, no sea la idónea respecto del grifo. In addition, said tubes are preferably flexible so that they can adapt to the shape of the faucet and/or slightly modify its position in the event that, once the support piece is fixed, it is not ideal with respect to the faucet.
En algunas ocasiones, la superficie no es totalmente horizontal por lo que la pieza de soporte una vez colocada sobre la superficie tampoco es totalmente horizontal. En estas circunstancias, gracias a que los tubos sean flexibles, se puede colocar el grifo sobre la pieza de soporte de manera totalmente horizontal, es decir corrigiendo la falta de horizontalidad de la superficie y de la pieza de soporte. On some occasions, the surface is not completely horizontal, so that the support piece, once it is placed on the surface, is not completely horizontal either. In these circumstances, thanks to the fact that the tubes are flexible, the tap can be placed on the support piece completely horizontally, that is to say, correcting the lack of horizontality of the surface and of the support piece.
En una realización preferente, los tubos son de plástico. En una realización aún más preferente, los tubos son de poliacetal tal como el DELRIN ®. In a preferred embodiment, the tubes are made of plastic. In an even more preferred embodiment, the tubes are made of polyacetal such as DELRIN ® .
De preferencia, la fijación de estos tubos a la pieza de soporte se efectúa mediante inserción de encaje a presión en una o dos cavidades previstas al efecto en la parte superior de la pieza de soporte, en coincidencia con respectivos orificios roscados previstos en la parte inferior para conectar y fijar los racores de los latiguillos del agua fría y/o caliente. De preferencia, la fijación de estos tubos al grifo se efectúa mediante un roscado. Para facilitar el roscado de los tubos, el agujero interior de los tubos presenta al menos en su extremo inferior una forma tal que se puede encajar una llave tipo Alien. Preferably, the fixing of these tubes to the support part is carried out by inserting them into one or two cavities provided for this purpose in the upper part of the support part, coinciding with the respective threaded holes provided in the lower part. to connect and fix the fittings of the cold and/or hot water hoses. Preferably, the fixing of these tubes to the faucet is carried out by means of a thread. In order to facilitate the threading of the tubes, the internal hole of the tubes has, at least at its lower end, a shape such that an Allen-type wrench can be inserted.
Asimismo, de modo preferido, los tubos incorporan unas juntas tóricas para asegurar la estanqueidad entre estos y la pieza de soporte y entre estos y el grifo. Also, preferably, the tubes incorporate O-rings to ensure tightness between them and the support piece and between them and the tap.
Con ello, la principal ventaja del kit es que se puede usar el mismo para cualquier modelo de grifo y, según el modelo, se podrán utilizar tubos de una u otra longitud, para lo cual se podrán prever dos, tres o más longitudes estándar de tubos de plástico, cuyo coste de fabricación es más económico para una misma pieza de soporte que, preferentemente, es metálica y, por tanto, de mayor coste de fabricación. With this, the main advantage of the kit is that it can be used for any faucet model and, depending on the model, tubes of one or another length can be used, for which two, three or more standard lengths can be provided. plastic tubes, whose manufacturing cost is cheaper for the same support part, which is preferably metallic and, therefore, more expensive to manufacture.
Además, esta configuración permite que para la instalación del grifo únicamente sea necesario colocar dicha pieza de soporte del kit y conectar inferiormente los latiguillos de agua fría y caliente, que suelen ir atornillados en la pared en una zona más baja y accesible, pero no será necesariamente preciso atornillar ninguna tuerca o ningún otro mecanismo por la parte inferior de la pica en la zona inferior del sistema de conexión al grifo para fijar dicha pieza, y en todo caso, una vez fijada, para colocar o desmontar y extraer de nuevo el grifo para su reparación o sustitución, no habrá que acceder a la parte inferior de la superficie, haciendo que sea más fácil renovar la grifería si se desea, ya que no se hace precisa la intervención de personal especializado. In addition, this configuration means that for the installation of the faucet it is only necessary to place said support piece from the kit and connect the hot and cold water hoses from below, which are usually screwed into the wall in a lower and more accessible area, but it will not be necessarily need to screw any nut or any other mechanism through the lower part of the sink in the lower area of the connection system to the tap to fix said part, and in any case, once fixed, to place or disassemble and extract the tap again for its repair or replacement, it will not be necessary to access the lower part of the surface, making it easier to renew the taps if desired, since the intervention of specialized personnel is not necessary.
Para ello, en un modo de realización preferida, los medios de sujeción de la pieza de soporte a la superficie son medios mediante atornillado por la parte superior, de tal manera que la colocación previa de dicha pieza de soporte también puede efectuarse cómoda y fácilmente desde la parte superior. To do this, in a preferred embodiment, the means for fastening the support piece to the surface are means by means of screwing from the top, in such a way that the previous positioning of said support piece can also be carried out comfortably and easily from the top.
En concreto, dichos medios de atornillado superior están constituidos por sendos tornillos pasantes que, insertados verticalmente y en paralelo en una guía en forma de orificio coliso de la pieza de soporte, están dispuestos con la cabeza por la parte superior, para su atornillado desde arriba, de manera que, antes de su atornillado, pueden ser desplazados lateralmente entre el centro y los extremos de dicha guía, para poder ser insertados en el orificio de la superficie, e inferiormente incorporan en la rosca una pestaña que sobresale lateralmente y que, al apretar el tornillo, se fija por si misma por la parte inferior de la superficie, colaborando en la fijación del conjunto. Specifically, said upper screwing means are made up of two through screws which, inserted vertically and parallel in a guide in the form of a slotted hole in the support piece, are arranged with the head on the upper part, for screwing from above. , so that, before being screwed, they can be moved laterally between the center and the ends of said guide, to be able to be inserted in the hole on the surface, and from below they incorporate a flange that protrudes laterally and that, when tighten the screw, it fixes itself by the lower part of the surface, collaborating in fixing the whole.
Preferentemente, estas pestañas y/o la parte de la pieza de soporte que entra en contacto con la superficie presentan una cubierta de goma situada entre el metal de la misma y la superficie donde se ejerce la fuerza de apriete, evitando que se resbale al hacer contacto con la superficie. Preferably, these tabs and/or the part of the support piece that comes into contact with the surface have a rubber cover located between the metal of the tab and the surface where the clamping force is exerted, preventing it from slipping when making. contact with the surface.
Dichas pestañas, figuran dispuestas simétricamente, de manera que la de cada tornillo emerge por un lado diametralmente opuesto al de la otra, para evitar que se muevan de su posición y giren con el giro del tornillo, estando además asociadas a unas respectivas pletinas verticales que fijan su posición relativa y solamente suban o bajen al roscar o desenroscar cada tornillo de sujeción. Said tabs are arranged symmetrically, so that each screw emerges on a side diametrically opposite to the other, to prevent them from moving from their position and turning with the screw's rotation, being also associated with respective vertical plates that they fix their relative position and only move up or down when screwing or unscrewing each clamping screw.
Y, en otra forma de realización alternativa, los medios de sujeción de la pieza de soporte a la superficie son medios mediante atornillado por la parte inferior, de manera que la colocación previa de dicha pieza de soporte se realiza mediante el apriete de una tuerca a un tornillo que emerge por la parte inferior de dicha pieza para sujetar una pestaña de apriete inferior. And, in another alternative embodiment, the means for fastening the support piece to the surface are means by screwing from the bottom, so that the prior placement of said support piece is done by tightening a nut to a screw that emerges from the lower part of said part to hold a lower tightening tab.
