Embodiment Construction

[0017] Such as figure 1 As shown in , the universal joint of the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 1 as a whole. This joint comprises a functional hollow body 2, a water sealing element 3 housed inside said hollow body and a reversible fastening element 4 of the hollow body connected to the opening of a valve (not shown) of the water supply system.

[0018] The functional hollow body 2 is a substantially hollow cylinder, preferably tapering from its first end 20 to its second end 21 along its axis XX. The first end 20 intended to be fixed to the opening of the valve shows a rounded edge 22 comprising a plurality of seats 23 for radially positioning the pin or reversible locking screw of the joint on said opening, as follows mentioned. Preferably, said seat 23 is formed by three notches spaced along the circumference of the edge 22 so as to define the three endpoints of Y. Furthermore, the outer surface of the first end may have identification markings 24 t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a universal adapter for specialized valves, i.e. a coupling device can be connected to the outlet of a variety of water valves regardless of their model, shape or section of their outlet opening. The adapter is characterized by the presence of tightening and clamping elements on the opening, which are particularly simple and easy to manufacture and use, while retaining high reliability and additional fine adjustment capacity to the seal in case of deformations of the sealing elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a universal fitting for a dedicated valve, ie a coupling device that can be connected to the outlets of various water valves, regardless of their type, shape or the cross-section of their outlet openings. Background technique [0002] In general, coupling devices are known which allow the valve to be coupled to the water supply of a facility, such as a jet, injector or shower, eg by means of a quick-connect structure and flexible tubing. Such a connector is essential when the user of the aforementioned item is using it away from home, such as on a trip, and its quick-connect structure is not suitable for the valves available at the time. There are several documents describing joints or connectors, such as, for example, US Pat. The devices shown therein have some common features: they all comprise an upper holder shaped like a collar intended to be fixed almost always with three screws equidistant at an angle of 120°, a...
