Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a tool for mounting and / or dismounting a sanitary insert, in particular a sanitary spout component. Background Art

[0002] Tools for assembling and / or disassembling sanitary inserts, such as sanitary spout parts, also called jet regulators, are known from the prior art. In the assembly / disassembly known from the prior art, the sanitary insert is screwed manually onto the sanitary faucet with the fingers, where it is usually screwed into the sanitary faucet. The tool can then be used to tighten the sanitary insert. During tightening and handling with the fingers, the sanitary insert can easily fall out of the user's hands. The torque required for tightening the sanitary insert cannot be applied well with the fingers either. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to improve a tool for mounting and dismounting a sanitary insert. The object of the present invention is also to improve the connection of the tool to the sanitary insert.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the features of claim 1 are provided according to the invention. In particular, to achieve the above-mentioned object, it is provided according to the invention that the tool has a latching device, which is designed to be connected to the sanitary insert. This makes it possible, for example, that the tool can be connected to the sanitary insert. Due to this connection, torque or other forces (such as pressure or tension) can be transmitted from the tool to the sanitary insert. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool has a mating latching device, which is designed to be connected to the sanitary insert. This makes it possible, for example, that the tool can be connected to the sanitary insert. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool has a latching device and / or a mating latching device, which is designed to be detachably connected to the sanitary insert. This makes it possible, for example, that the latching device and / or the mating latching device of the tool can be released from the sanitary insert, in particular the latching device and / or the mating latching device can be released again after the connection.

[0005] Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that the tool has a latching device and / or a mating latching device, which is designed for a captive connection to the sanitary insert. This makes it possible, for example, for the latching device and / or the mating latching device of the tool to be connected to the sanitary insert in such a way that they are captive connected to each other, i.e. they cannot be easily separated from each other while they are connected. Inadvertent loosening of the connection between the tool and the sanitary insert can thus be prevented. For example, an unexpected loosening can be the sanitary insert falling out of the tool due to gravity. The tool can be connected to the sanitary insert, wherein the sanitary insert can then be fixed together with the tool in the sanitary tap. This can be particularly helpful when performing assembly / disassembly work overhead or in an inclined position. With the aid of the tool, a captive connection can be established between the tool and the sanitary insert, so that during assembly / disassembly, the sanitary insert does not have to be screwed into the sanitary tap by hand and fingers, but can be screwed in with the tool. As a result, the sanitary insert can no longer fall out of the hand. Compared to the sanitary insert, the tool also provides a favorable gripping surface for the fingers. Thus, the tool can be connected to the sanitary insert, wherein the tool carries the sanitary insert. The captive connection makes it easier to insert the sanitary insert. Incorrect screwing of the sanitary insert and the resulting defects in the jet regulator or faucet can thus be prevented. After tightening the sanitary insert with the tool, the tool can be released from the sanitary insert. To remove the sanitary insert, the tool is connected to the sanitary insert and then the sanitary insert can be released by a screwing movement.

[0006] For example, the anti-drop connection may be characterized in that a minimum pull-out force is required to release the connection. For example, the anti-drop connection may have a release force that first increases with increasing distance and decreases, for example suddenly, from a certain distance that may be small and / or when the connection is released.

[0007] In general, the tool can be arranged to apply a rotational movement and / or a torque to the sanitary insert. Thus, for example, a screwing-in or screwing-out movement can be driven using the tool.

[0008] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the tool has a drive section. It can be achieved, for example, that the drive section is provided for transmitting force and can transmit torque. In particular, the drive section can have a wall. It can be achieved, for example, that the drive section can be hollow and transmit force via the wall. In particular, the drive section can have a cross-sectional profile that remains the same along its course. It can be achieved in this way that different geometries of the drive section can be achieved, which can have a positive effect on the stability of the tool. In particular, the drive section can be cylindrical. It can be achieved, for example, that the drive section of the tool can be placed on a cylindrically shaped sanitary insert. Alternatively, the drive section can be polygonal. It can be achieved, for example, that the drive section can be placed on a correspondingly polygonally shaped sanitary insert. This can result in that the torque can be advantageously transmitted from the drive section to the sanitary insert in an effective and efficient manner. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the latching means is arranged on one side of the drive section. It can be achieved, for example, that the latching means of the tool can cooperate with the mating latching means of the sanitary insert to establish a connection. Alternatively or additionally, provision can be made for the mating latching means to be arranged on one side of the drive section. This makes it possible, for example, for the mating latching means of the tool to cooperate with the latching means of the sanitary insert in order to produce a connection on this side of the drive section. In particular, provision can be made for the latching means and / or the mating latching means to be arranged on the circumference of the drive section. This makes it possible, for example, for the latching means and / or the mating latching means to be particularly easily connectable to the sanitary insert.

[0009] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the tool has two latching means. This makes it possible, for example, that the two latching means of the tool can cooperate with two matching mating latching means of the sanitary insert to transfer a torque to the sanitary insert. With two latching means, the torque transfer can be particularly high and / or particularly effective. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool has two mating latching means. This makes it possible, for example, that the two mating latching means of the tool can cooperate with two matching mating latching means of the sanitary insert to transfer a torque to the sanitary insert. In particular, it can be provided that the two latching means are spaced at different distances from the axial axis of the tool. This makes it possible, for example, to grasp sanitary inserts of different structural forms and to apply a force thereto. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the two latching means are spaced at different distances from the axial axis of the tool. This makes it possible, for example, to grasp sanitary inserts of different structural forms and to apply a force thereto with the same tool. The axial axis can correspond to the longitudinal axis of the tool.

[0010] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the two latching means are arranged on two circular paths spaced apart from one another around the axial axis of the tool. This allows, for example, sanitary inserts of different designs to be grasped and forces to be exerted thereon with the same tool. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the two mating latching means are arranged on two circular paths spaced apart from one another around the axial axis of the tool. This allows, for example, sanitary inserts of different designs to be grasped and forces to be exerted thereon with the same tool.

[0011] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the two latching means have the same longitudinal extension in the axial direction of the tool. Thus, for example, the two latching means can engage in mating latching means on the sanitary insert, which have the same position on the sanitary insert with respect to the axial axis of the sanitary insert. Alternatively, it can be provided that the two latching means have different longitudinal extensions in the axial direction of the tool. Thus, for example, the two latching means can engage in mating latching means on the sanitary insert, which have different positions on the sanitary insert with respect to the axial axis of the sanitary insert. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the two mating latching means have the same longitudinal extension in the axial direction of the tool. Thus, for example, the two mating latching means can engage in mating latching means on the sanitary insert, which have the same position on the sanitary insert with respect to the axial axis of the sanitary insert. Alternatively, it can be provided that the two mating latching means have different longitudinal extensions in the axial direction of the tool. Thus, for example, two counter-detent means can engage in detent means on the sanitary insert, which have different positions on the sanitary insert with respect to the axial axis of the sanitary insert.

[0012] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, alternatively or additionally, the invention provides the features of the parallel claims for the sanitary insert. Therefore, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a sanitary insert is proposed, characterized in that the sanitary insert has a latching device, which is designed to be connected to a matching latching device of a tool. As a result, it can be achieved, for example, that the sanitary insert and the tool can be connected to each other. Due to this connection, torque or other forces, such as pressure or tension, can be transmitted from the tool to the sanitary insert. In particular, it is provided that the sanitary insert is a sanitary outflow part. Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that the sanitary insert has a matching latching device, which is designed to be connected to the latching device of the tool. As a result, it can be achieved, for example, that the sanitary insert and the tool can be connected to each other. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the sanitary insert has a latching device and / or a matching latching device, which is designed to be detachably connected to the latching device and / or the matching latching device of the tool. As a result, it can be achieved, for example, that the sanitary insert and the tool can be connected detachably. This is necessary, for example, after the sanitary insert has been installed in a sanitary faucet. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the sanitary insert has latching means and / or mating latching means, which are designed for captive connection to latching means and / or mating latching means of a tool. This makes it possible, for example, for the sanitary insert and the tool to be captive connected. This is advantageous for assembly, since it is easier to connect the sanitary insert to the sanitary faucet if the sanitary insert is previously fixed to the tool. In particular, it is provided that the sanitary insert has latching means and / or mating latching means, which are designed for connection, preferably detachable and / or captive connection, to latching means or mating latching means of a tool according to claim 1. This makes it possible, for example, for the latching means and mating latching means to be designed to correspond to each other, i.e. to cooperate in a matching manner.

[0013] To achieve the above-mentioned object, alternatively or additionally, the invention provides the features of the parallel claim 4 for a set consisting of a tool and a sanitary insert. To achieve the above-mentioned object, a set consisting of a tool and a sanitary insert is therefore proposed, wherein the tool is provided for assembling the sanitary insert and is characterized in that the tool is captively connected to the sanitary insert for assembly. This makes it possible, for example, that the sanitary insert is captively connected to the tool. This is helpful during assembly, in particular when assembling in an inclined position or overhead, because the sanitary insert cannot be accidentally separated from the tool. In particular, it can be provided that the sanitary insert is a spout component. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool is provided for disassembling the sanitary insert and is characterized in that it is captively connected to the sanitary insert for disassembly. This makes it possible, for example, that the sanitary insert is captively connected to the tool. This is helpful during disassembly, in particular when disassembling in an inclined position or overhead, because the sanitary insert cannot be accidentally separated from the tool.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the anti-lost connection of the tool and the sanitary insert is achieved by means of a positive lock. Thus, for example, it can be achieved that the positive lock connection prevents a relative movement of the latching element and the mating latching element (and vice versa). In particular, the positive lock connection can be a snap. Here, the latching element / mating latching element is deformed and forms a detachable and / or anti-lost connection with the corresponding mating latching element / latching element. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the anti-lost connection of the tool and the sanitary insert is achieved by means of a force lock. Thus, for example, it can be achieved that the anti-lost connection is achieved by high friction forces between the latching element and the mating latching element. In particular, the force lock connection can be an interference fit. The latching element / mating latching element is pressed into the corresponding receptacle by pressure, wherein the receptacle is slightly too small or the latching element / mating latching element is slightly too large. As a result, the latching element / mating latching element is elastically deformed and the high friction forces between the latching element / mating latching element and the receptacle lead to the anti-lost connection. The positive and / or frictional connection can be cancelled by a pulling force, ie by pulling a tool on the sanitary insert.

[0015] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention provides, alternatively or additionally, the features of the parallel claims for a method for assembling and / or disassembling a sanitary insert using a tool. In particular, it is provided that a tool is captively connected to the sanitary insert for assembly. This makes it possible, for example, to realize a method for assembling a sanitary insert using a tool, characterized in that the tool is captively connected to the sanitary insert for assembly. The advantage here is that the sanitary insert cannot fall out when it is connected to the tool. Rather, it is captively connected to the tool. For assembly, the tool can be captively connected to the sanitary insert, which is then arranged on the tool and can be fixed to the sanitary faucet with the aid of the tool. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool is captively connected to the sanitary insert for disassembly. This makes it possible, for example, to captively fix the sanitary insert to the tool during disassembly. During disassembly, for example, when unscrewing the sanitary insert from the sanitary faucet, the sanitary insert is always securely connected to the tool and does not fall out when the connection of the sanitary insert to the sanitary faucet is released.

[0016] A preferred use of the invention provides that the connection between the tool and the sanitary insert is achieved by means of a form fit. This makes it possible, for example, to create a particularly stable and loss-proof connection, wherein an accidental loosening of the connection is prevented. In particular, it is provided that the form fit is a snap-on connection. A snap-on connection is a form-fitting connection of simple construction. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the connection between the tool and the sanitary insert is achieved by means of a force fit. The force fit achieved by friction between a latching element and a mating latching element is a simple and loss-proof, yet removable fastening. In particular, the force fit connection can be an interference fit. This makes it possible, for example, to connect a latching element and a mating latching element in a simple and loss-proof manner. The connection can be released by applying a tensile force to the tool.

[0017] A preferred use of the invention provides that, in order to release the tool from the sanitary insert, a force greater than the weight of the tool is applied. This makes it possible, for example, to release the tool from the sanitary insert when the force is greater than the weight of the tool. In particular, it is provided that, in order to release the tool from the sanitary insert, a pulling force greater than the weight of the tool is applied. This makes it possible, for example, to release the tool from the sanitary insert by pulling. However, the connection between the sanitary insert and the tool is only cancelled when the pulling force is greater than the weight of the tool. Inadvertent release is thus prevented.

[0018] A preferred use of the invention provides that a first latching means of the tool cooperates with a first mating latching means of the sanitary insert. This allows, for example, a torque to be transmitted from the tool to the sanitary insert. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that a second latching means of the tool cooperates with a second mating latching means of the sanitary insert. This makes it possible, for example, to transmit particularly high torques from the tool to the sanitary insert, since two latching means cooperate with two mating latching means.

[0019] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention provides alternatively or additionally the features of the parallel use-oriented claims. In particular, it is provided that the aforementioned tool is used to apply a torque to the aforementioned sanitary insert.

[0020] The tool is made of plastic, which has the advantage that it is less hard than (stainless) steel or chrome-plated sanitary tap applications and therefore will not scratch the sanitary tap.

[0021] In pneumatic sanitary inserts, dirt and calcium deposits may be present in the air intake region. These dirt and calcium deposits can be removed with the tool if the tool is engaged in the air intake opening by means of the latching means / counter-latching means of the tool. Thus, dirt can be removed advantageously and uncomplicatedly with the tool, which improves the function of the sanitary insert and prolongs its service life. Therefore, in one embodiment of the invention, provision can be made that the tool engages or can be engaged in the air intake opening. Thus, the respective wrench blade can remove dirt and calcium deposits in the air intake region. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] Figure 1 A tool 1 is shown for fitting and removing a sanitary insert 2. The fitting / removal can be, for example, screwing in / screwing out. For this purpose, the tool 1 is provided for applying a torque to the sanitary insert 2 and driving a rotational movement.

[0047] In this embodiment, the sanitary insert 2 is a sanitary spout component 3. The tool 1 has a latching device 4, which is designed for a detachable and captive connection 6 to the sanitary insert 2. The tool 1 has a cylindrical drive section 7. The latching device 4 is arranged on the circumference 8 of one side 9 of the drive section 7. On the side 10 of the tool 1 opposite the drive section 7, the tool 1 has a handle 11. The handle 11 is used for manual gripping and for transmitting torque to the sanitary insert 2. The handle 11 is designed in the form of a wing. In the side view ( Figure 2 ) shows the thread 12 of the sanitary insert 2. The sanitary insert 2 can be screwed into a sanitary faucet (not shown) using the tool 1.

[0048] In the embodiment shown, the drive section 7 has a wall. The drive section has a cross-sectional profile that remains the same along its course. In the embodiment shown, the drive section is cylindrical in shape. In an embodiment not shown, the drive section is polygonal in shape.

[0049] Figure 3 The latching means 4 of the tool 1 are shown, which interact with the counter-latching means 5 of the sanitary insert 2 and form a detachable and non-lost, form-fitting snap connection 13 . Figure 4 The tool 1 is shown without the sanitary insert 2. In order to achieve a positive-locking snap connection 13, the latching means 4 is pressed into the receptacle of the sanitary insert 2. Conversely, the mating latching means 5 of the sanitary insert 2 is pressed into the receptacle 17 of the tool 1. In this process, the latching projections 14 of the latching means 4 of the tool 1 are pressed against the mating latching projections 15 of the mating latching means 5 of the sanitary insert 2. The latching means 4 and the mating latching means 5 are elastically deformed by being pressed together and thus latching into one another. The connection 6 can be released again by a tensile force 16.

[0050] The sanitary insert 2 has a mating latching means 5 which is designed for a detachable and captive connection to the latching means 4 of the tool 1. It is obvious in the context of this patent document that the latching means 4 and the mating latching means 5 can also be present in an inverted arrangement on the tool 1 and the sanitary insert 2, depending on how they are viewed.

[0051] The figure shows a set of tools 1 and sanitary inserts 2, wherein the sanitary inserts 2 are sanitary spout components 3. The tool 1 is provided for assembling and disassembling the sanitary inserts 2. To this end, it can be captively connected to the sanitary inserts 2. The captive connection 6 is realized by means of a positive and / or non-positive connection. Figures 1 to 4 and Figures 13 to 221 shows a positive connection 19. Here, the captive connection 6 is realized by a snap connection 13 (i.e. snap), wherein the snap-in projection 14 of the tool 1 is elastically deformed. The snap-in projection 14 then snaps into place with the sanitary insert 2 and creates a captive connection 6, which can, however, be released by a tensile force. During the elastic deformation of the snap-in projection 14, the tensile force first increases with increasing distance and then suddenly decreases when the connection 6 is released.

[0052] The captive connection 6 of the tool 1 and the sanitary insert 2 can also or alternatively be realized by a force-locking connection. Figures 5 to 12 2 shows a non-positive connection 20. The non-positive connection is achieved here by an interference fit 21. In the case of a non-positive connection, a minimum force is required to overcome the static friction force, which suddenly decreases during the transition to sliding friction.

[0053] The receptacle 17 for the latching means 5 of the sanitary insert on the drive section 7 of the tool 1 is designed to be slightly smaller than the latching means 5 of the sanitary insert 2. The latching means 5 can be pressed into the receptacle 17 by pressure 18, so that a force-fitting connection 20 is achieved by an interference fit 21.

[0054] A method for assembling a sanitary insert 2 with a tool 1 comprises the following steps, wherein the tool 1 is captively connected to the sanitary insert 2 for assembly. The tool 1 is connected to the sanitary insert 2 by pressure 18. For this purpose, the two components are preferably held in the hand of the user. The latching means 4 / cooperating latching means 5 are inserted into corresponding receptacles 17. After the connection, the sanitary insert 2 is captively connected to the tool 1 and can be moved with the tool. The tool 1 and the sanitary insert 2 are then placed on the outlet of the sanitary faucet and tightened. The latching means 4 and the cooperating latching means 5 allow the force to be transmitted from the tool 1 to the sanitary insert 2.

[0055] A method for removing a sanitary insert 2 using a tool 1 comprises the following steps, wherein the tool 1 is captively connected to the sanitary insert 2 for assembly. The tool 1 is connected to the sanitary insert 2, which is located in the outlet of the sanitary faucet, by means of pressure 18. After the connection, the sanitary insert 2 is captively connected to the tool 1 and can be moved with the tool. The sanitary insert 2 can be unscrewed from the sanitary faucet by a rotational movement.

[0056] During assembly and disassembly, the connection between the tool 1 and the sanitary insert 2 is achieved by a positive and / or non-positive connection. In order to release the tool 1 from the sanitary insert 2, a tensile force 16 greater than the weight of the tool 1 must be applied.

[0057] The tool 1 has a configured crown structure 22 for transmitting torque from the tool 1 to the sanitary insert 2. The torque can be transmitted where the latching device 4 and the mating latching device 5 contact on the crown structure 22. The latching device 4 and the receiving portion 17 of the tool 1 are part of the crown structure 22. The drive section 7 of the tool 1 is designed to be hollow. In an embodiment not shown, the drive section 7 is designed to be solid.

[0058] Figures 20 to 22 The tool 1 with two latching devices 4, 4a and two mating latching devices 5, 5a is shown. The two latching devices 4, 4a and the two mating latching devices 5, 5a are spaced apart from the axial axis 23 of the tool 1 by different distances. The first latching device 4 is closer to the axial axis 23 of the tool 1 than the second latching device 4a. Two circular trajectories 24, 24a spaced apart from each other by a distance and drawn in dashed lines illustrate the arrangement of the latching devices 4, 4a and the mating latching devices 5, 5a. Fig. 22 It is shown that the two latching devices 4a, 4 have different longitudinal extensions 25, 25a in the axial direction of the tool 1.

[0059] A tool 1 and a method for assembling and / or for disassembling a sanitary insert 2, in particular a sanitary outlet part 3, are proposed, characterized in that the tool 1 has a latching device 4 and / or a mating latching device 5 configured for a preferably detachable and / or anti-loss connection 6 with the sanitary insert 2.
