Turn handle assembly and sanitary valve

Abstract

The invention relates to a rotary handle device for rotationally actuating a rotationally adjustable unit and to a sanitary valve equipped with the rotary handle device, wherein the rotary handle device has a handle body with a user interface. A handle operating element and a rotational coupling for rotationally fixed coupling of the handle body to the rotationally adjustable unit. The handle body includes a first handle body portion having a rotational coupling structure and a second handle body portion having a handle operating element, wherein the first and second handle body portions are rotatable relative to each other within an aligned angular range. The rotary handle device has a user-operable alignment unit that couples the first and second handle body portions in a rotationally fixed manner and that when manipulated, brings the first and second handle body portions in an aligned angular range relative to each other. Rotates steplessly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rotary handle device for rotationally actuating a rotationally adjustable unit and a sanitary valve equipped with the rotary handle device, wherein the rotary handle device has a handle body with a handle operating as user interface The element and has a rotational coupling structure for connecting the handle body in a single coupling-rotation position or selectively in one coupling-rotation position of a plurality of coupling-rotation positions spaced apart from each other in the direction of rotation. Torsion-proof coupling to the rotationally adjustable unit. Background technique [0002] Rotary handle arrangements of this type are generally known in different embodiments. In hygienic technology, for example, rotary-adjustable shut-off valves, mixing valves and switching valves are frequently equipped with such rotary handle arrangements. The handle operating element functions as a user interface, ie the user exerts a ro...

Problems solved by technology

However, since adjacent coupling-rotational positions are spaced from one another in the direction of rotation by a relevant angular distance, that is to say the rotational distance, the handle operating element in its rotational position relative to the rotationally adjustable unit also changes only this rotational distance or A multiple of this rotational distance, in this way it is not possible to change the rotational position of the handle operating element relative to the rotationally adjustable unit by an angle of rotation smaller than said rotational distance
