Description

[0001] The invention relates to a water fitting comprising a housing with at least one water connection, preferably a cold and a hot water connection, and with an outflow opening, wherein the water fitting further comprises a cartridge arranged in the housing, which has a tiltable, preferably also pivotable, adjusting element in the region of its upper end, and preferably protruding from the upper side of the housing, and a lever head connected to the adjusting element, which can be tilted between its shut-off position, in which the water fitting is closed, and a flow position, in which water flows out of the outflow opening.

[0002] A water faucet consists of a housing with a cartridge inside. The housing is attached, for example, to a wall or a sink. The housing has a spout with an outlet opening. Additionally, a lever head is provided that can be manually tilted at least about a horizontal axis to regulate the amount of water flowing out. To change the amount of water, the lever head is pivoted about the horizontal axis and moved into different positions. If the lever head is tilted as far downwards as possible about the horizontal axis, the water flow stops.

[0003] The cartridge is a unit located inside the housing that is used to adjust the water flow and, if necessary, to mix cold and hot water. The faucet can be designed as a single-lever mixer. A single-lever mixer also allows the desired water temperature to be set. If the faucet is designed as a single-lever mixer, the faucet has a cold and a hot water connection. When the lever head is pivoted left or right around a vertical axis, more cold or hot water is allowed to pass through the cartridge, thereby adjusting the overall temperature of the mixed water. A single-lever mixer is often used in kitchens and bathrooms to mix hot and cold water and, depending on the continuously variable position of the lever head, to dispense more or less water per unit of time.

[0004] In daily practice, it's common to see a lever head tilted too far into its flow position. This results in more water flowing out than is actually needed. This is especially noticeable with children. Children regularly set high flow rates, resulting in increased water consumption.

[0005] The object of the invention is to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages and to provide a water fitting by means of which water consumption can be limited.

[0006] This object is achieved in that, in order to reduce the maximum amount of water flowing out via the outflow opening in the flow position, a tilting path limiting device, preferably arranged in a detachable manner and having at least one stop surface, is provided, wherein in the maximum possible flow position the tilting path limiting device is provided with at least one stop surface either directly or indirectly against the housing and in this way the maximum possible tilting path of the lever head from its shut-off position to its flow position is reduced or directly or indirectly strikes the lever head and in this way the maximum possible tilting path of the lever head from its shut-off position to its flow position is reduced.

[0007] The tilt limiting device can be attached to the lever head. If the tilt limiting device's stop surface directly abuts the housing, the stop surface is in direct contact with the housing. However, it is also entirely possible for the housing to have a damping layer, for example, in the area where it interacts with the stop surface in the maximum flow position. In this case, the tilt limiting device's stop surface indirectly abuts the housing in the flow position.

[0008] Alternatively, the tilt limiting device can be attached to the housing. If the tilt limiting device's stop surface directly abuts the lever head, the stop surface is in direct contact with the lever head. However, it is also entirely possible for the lever head to have a damping layer, for example, in the area where it interacts with the stop surface in the maximum yield position. In this case, the tilt limiting device's stop surface indirectly abuts the lever head in the yield position.

[0009] The water flow is adjusted by tilting the adjustment element around a horizontal axis. By pivoting the adjustment element around the vertical axis, the proportion of cold and hot water, and thus the temperature of the water flowing through the outlet, can be adjusted.

[0010] The tilt limiting device limits the tilting travel of the lever head. This reduces the maximum escaping water flow, thus lowering water consumption and thus costs. This affects both the cost of the saved water and the energy costs for heating the water.

[0011] The tilt limiter can be factory-installed on a faucet. However, it is also suitable for retrofitting. Installation is simple and can be performed by anyone without prior experience. The tilt limiter is mounted either on the back of the lever head or on the back of the housing and limits the tilt of the lever head without compromising functionality or aesthetics.

[0012] Advantageously, the lever head can have an edge region pointing in the direction of the housing, and the tilt travel limiting device can have a receiving groove, preferably U-shaped, open in the direction of the edge region to be accommodated for receiving the edge region of the lever head, which consists of two legs connected to one another by a web and arranged at a distance from one another. In this embodiment, the two legs, together with the web, create a receiving groove which receives the edge region pointing in the direction of the housing. In this respect, the two legs encompass the edge region of the lever head, whereas the part of the edge region pointing in the direction of the housing rests or almost rests on the web. This enables precise positioning of the tilt travel limiting device and improves its hold on the lever head.

[0013] It is further conceivable for the lever head to have an edge region pointing in the direction of the housing, and for the tilting travel limiting device to have a preferably L-shaped receiving angle, open in the direction of the edge region to be accommodated, for receiving the edge region of the lever head. The receiving angle is formed with two legs, one leg resting on the inside or outside of the edge region and the other leg being arranged on the edge of the edge region, preferably parallel to this. In this embodiment, the two legs create a receiving angle which receives the edge region pointing in the direction of the housing. This enables precise positioning of the tilting travel limiting device and improves its hold on the lever head.

[0014] Advantageously, the tilt-path limiting device can have at least one adhesive strip for attachment to the lever head. The adhesive strip serves to secure or reinforce the attachment between the receiving groove or the receiving angle of the tilt-limiting device and the lever head. For example, it is conceivable for the adhesive strip to be attached to one of the two legs of the receiving groove and thus, in the assembled state, to be arranged between this leg and the lever head. It is also conceivable for the adhesive strip to be arranged on the web of the receiving groove. Other arrangements of the adhesive strip are also conceivable, for example, on the inside or outside of the edge region of the lever head.

[0015] Furthermore, it is conceivable for the tilt-path limiting device to have at least one clamping section for fastening to the lever head that at least partially surrounds the lever head on the outside. The clamping section serves to secure or reinforce the fastening between the tilt-path limiting device and the lever head.

[0016] In addition, the tilt-travel limiting device can have a clamping section at each of its two opposite ends for attachment to the lever head, at least partially enclosing the lever head on the outside. The clamping section serves to secure or reinforce the attachment between the tilt-travel limiting device and the lever head.

[0017] Advantageously, the tilting path limiting device can be formed by two separate elements, one element being designed as a stop element having a stop surface and the other element being designed as a connecting element forming the connection to the lever head, and the stop element being displaceable relative to the connecting element by means of an adjusting device. By displacing the stop element, the maximum possible tilting path can be limited and / or the limitation can be adjusted. The further the stop element is removed from the connecting element, the shorter the maximum possible tilting path. In this respect, the maximum amount of water flowing out through the outflow opening in the flow position is reduced.

[0018] It is also conceivable that the relative displacement between the stop element and the connecting element can be achieved by rotating the adjustment device. Rotating the adjustment device thereby displaces the stop element translationally in the direction away from the connecting element. The stop element does not undergo any rotational displacement. By moving the stop element, the maximum possible tilting path can be limited and / or the limitation can be adjusted. The further the stop element is removed from the connecting element, the shorter the maximum possible tilting path. In this respect, the maximum amount of water flowing out through the outflow opening in the flow position is reduced.

[0019] In addition, the tilting travel limiting device can have an electric motor and a power storage unit for motor-driven rotation of the adjustment device. Rotating the adjustment device translates the stop element in the direction away from the connecting element. The stop element does not undergo any rotational displacement. By moving the stop element, the maximum possible tilting travel can be limited and / or the limitation can be adjusted. The further the stop element is removed from the connecting element, the shorter the maximum possible tilting travel. This reduces the maximum amount of water flowing out through the outlet opening in the flow position.

[0020] Advantageously, the relative displacement between the stop element and the connecting element can be carried out by pressing the adjusting device. Pressing the adjusting device displaces the stop element translationally in the direction facing away from the connecting element. The adjusting device therefore acts in a similar way to the ballpoint pen mechanism of a push-button ballpoint pen. In this respect, the adjusting device can act, for example, like a locking tensioning mechanism, which has springs that can assume two stable positions and maintain them without the influence of external forces. By pressing the adjusting device, a first stable position can be assumed in which the stop element is away from the connecting element. By pressing it again, a second stable position can be assumed in which the stop element is close to the connecting element.Pressing the adjustment device merely moves the stop element translationally in the direction away from the connecting element. The stop element does not undergo any rotational displacement. By moving the stop element, the maximum possible tilting travel can be limited and / or the limit can be adjusted. The further the stop element is removed from the connecting element, the shorter the maximum possible tilting travel. This reduces the maximum amount of water flowing out through the outlet opening in the flow position.

[0021] It is also conceivable that the relative displacement between the stop element and the connecting element can be carried out by pivoting the stop element. In this design, the adjustment device is designed as a pivoting joint which connects the stop element to the connecting element. When the stop element is pivoted, the stop surface, which is spaced from the adjustment device by the length or thickness of the stop element, is pivoted towards the housing. By moving the stop element, the maximum possible tilting path can be limited and / or the limitation can be adjusted. The further the stop surface of the stop element is from the connecting element, the shorter the maximum possible tilting path. In this respect, the maximum quantity of water flowing out through the outflow opening in the flow position is reduced.

[0022] In addition, the surface of the web facing away from the receiving groove can serve as the stop surface. This makes the design of the tilt travel limiting device less complicated and more robust.

[0023] Advantageously, the tilt limiting device can be made at least partially, preferably entirely, of plastic, metal, or a similar material. A plastic design has the particular advantage that the tilt limiting device is lightweight and does not damage the water fitting.

[0024] The following are exemplary embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings. They show: Fig. 1a shows an embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 1b the object according to Fig. 1a with a tilting travel limiting device in its maximum possible flow position, Fig. 1c the object after Fig. 1a in its maximum possible flow position without tilt limiting device, Fig. 2a shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 2b shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 2c shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 2d shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 3a shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 3b shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 3c shows a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position, Fig. 3d a detailed section of a further embodiment of a water fitting according to the invention with a tilting travel limiting device in its shut-off position Fig. 4a an oblique side view of a tilting path limiting device, Fig. 4b another view of the object according to Fig. 4a, Fig. 5a a side view of a water fitting with a tilt limiting device in its shut-off position and Fig. 5b a rear view of the object according to Fig. 5a.

[0025] In all figures, identical reference symbols are used for identical or similar components.

[0026] Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b and Fig. 1c shows a water fitting 1 comprising a housing 2 with a water connection (not shown) and an outlet opening 3. Also not shown is a cartridge arranged in the housing 2. The cartridge has, in the region of its upper end, a tiltable adjustment element 4 protruding from the top of the housing 2, as well as a lever head 5 connected to the adjustment element 4.

[0027] The lever head 5 can be tilted between its shut-off position, in which the water fitting 1 is closed and no water flows out of the outflow opening 3, and a flow position in which water flows out of the outflow opening 3. Fig. 1a shows the lever head 5 in its locking position, whereas Fig. 1c shows the lever head 5 in its maximum flow position.

[0028] Furthermore, the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b a tilting path limiting device 7, which serves to reduce the maximum amount of water flowing out through the outlet opening 3 in the flow position. The tilting path limiting device 7 is detachably arranged and has a stop surface 6. In the Fig. In the maximum possible flow position shown in Fig. 1b, the tilting travel limiting device 7 strikes with its stop surface 6 directly against the housing 2 and in this way reduces the maximum possible tilting travel of the lever head 5 from its shut-off position to its flow position.

[0029] The lever head 5 has an edge region 8 pointing in the direction of the housing 2. The tilting travel limiting device 7 comprises a U-shaped receiving groove 9 open in the direction of the edge region 8. The receiving groove 9 serves to receive the edge region 8 of the lever head 5 and consists of two legs 11 connected to one another by a web 10 and arranged at a distance from one another. The surface of the web 10 facing away from the receiving groove 9 forms the stop surface 6.

[0030] When comparing the Fig. 1b and Fig. 1c shows that the tilting travel limiting device 7 significantly reduces the maximum angle of inclination (a, b) of the lever head 5. Due to the lower maximum angle of inclination, the maximum tilting travel is reduced. Thus, the maximum angle of inclination (a) of the lever head 5 is Fig. 1b, i.e. with the tilting travel limiting device 7, is considerably smaller than the maximum angle of inclination (b) of the lever head 5 in Fig. 1b. In this respect, the Fig. 1b reduced angle of inclination (a) and the resulting reduced tilting path of the lever head 5 reduces the maximum amount of water flowing out via the outlet opening 3.

[0031] The Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b, Fig. 2c and Fig. 2d each show a detailed section of various embodiments of a water fitting 1 according to the invention with a lever head 5 and a tilting travel limiting device 7. In these illustrated embodiments, the tilting travel limiting device 7 is formed by two separate elements, one element being designed as a stop element 12 having the stop surface 6, and the other element as a connecting element 13 forming the connection to the lever head 5. The stop element 12 is displaceable relative to the connecting element 13 by means of an adjusting device 14.

[0032] Fig. Figure 2a shows an embodiment of the tilting travel limiting device 7, in which the relative displacement between the stop element 12 and the connecting element 13 can be carried out by rotating the adjusting device 14. The adjusting device 14 is designed as a type of screw and has a thread. The thread causes the stop element 12 to move away from the connecting element 13 when the adjusting device 14 is rotated in one direction along the adjusting device 14 and to move towards the connecting element 13 when the adjusting device 14 is rotated in the other direction along the adjusting device 14. If the stop element 12 is moved away from the connecting element 13, the distance between the housing 2 (not shown here) and the stop surface 6 is reduced. In this respect, the maximum tilting travel is also reduced.When shifting in the opposite direction, the maximum possible tilting path is increased again, but it still remains smaller than the maximum possible tilting path without a tilting path limiting device 7.

[0033] Fig. 3a shows the same object as Fig. 2a. In contrast to the design according to Fig. 2a shows the tilting path limiting device 7 Fig. 3a has an adhesive strip 17 in addition to the attachment to the lever head 5. The adhesive strip 17 connects the receiving groove 9 to the lever head 5.

[0034] Fig. Figure 2b shows an embodiment of the tilting travel limiting device 7, in which the tilting travel limiting device 7 has an electric motor 15 and a power storage device 16 for motor-driven rotation of the adjusting device 14. The adjusting device 14 therefore has a thread. The thread causes the stop element 12 to move away from the connecting element 13 when the adjusting device 14 is rotated in one direction along the adjusting device 14 and to move toward the connecting element 13 when the adjusting device 14 is rotated in the other direction along the adjusting device 14. If the stop element 12 is moved away from the connecting element 13, the distance between the housing 2 (not shown here) and the stop surface 6 is reduced. In this respect, the maximum tilting travel is also reduced.If the movement is in the opposite direction, the maximum possible tilting distance is increased again, but it still remains smaller than the maximum possible tilting distance without the tilting distance limiting device 7.

[0035] Fig. 3b shows the same object as Fig. 2b, wherein the tilting path limiting device 7 according to Fig. 3b, in addition to the attachment to the lever head 5, has an adhesive strip 17. The adhesive strip 17 connects the receiving groove 9 to the lever head 5.

[0036] Fig. Figure 2c shows an embodiment of the tilt travel limiting device 7, in which the relative displacement between the stop element 12 and the connecting element 13 can be carried out by pressing the adjusting device 14. The adjusting device 14 functions in a manner comparable to the ballpoint pen mechanism of a push-button ballpoint pen. In this respect, the adjusting device 14 acts like a locking tensioning mechanism comprising springs. The adjusting device 14 allows the setting of two stable positions. By pressing the adjusting device 14, a first stable position can be assumed in which the stop element 12 is away from the connecting element 13. By pressing it again, a second stable position can be assumed in which the stop element 12 is close to the connecting element 13. The first pressing of the adjusting device 14 merely displaces the stop element 12 translationally in the direction away from the connecting element 13.Pressing the adjustment device 14 a second time merely displaces the stop element 12 translationally in the direction facing the connecting element 13. The stop element 12 does not undergo any rotational displacement. If the stop element 12 is moved away from the connecting element 13, the distance between the housing 2 (not shown here) and the stop surface 6 is reduced. Accordingly, the maximum tilting travel is also reduced. Upon displacement in the opposite direction, the maximum possible tilting travel is increased again, but it still remains smaller than the maximum possible tilting travel without the tilting travel limiting device 7.

[0037] Fig. 3c shows the same object as Fig. 2c, wherein the tilting path limiting device 7 according to Fig. 3c, in addition to the attachment to the lever head 5, has an adhesive strip 17. The adhesive strip 17 connects the receiving groove 9 to the lever head 5.

[0038] Fig. Figure 2d shows an embodiment of the tilting travel limiting device 7, in which the relative displacement between the stop element 12 and the connecting element 13 can be carried out by pivoting the stop element 12. In the illustrated state, the stop element 12 is adjusted such that the tilting travel is maximally limited. In this respect, the stop surface 6 is spaced away from the connecting element 13 by the thickness of the stop element 12 and the gap between the stop element 12 and the connecting element 13. Starting from this state, the stop element 12 can also be "pivoted out" so that the stop surface 6 no longer strikes the housing 2 in the event of tilting. This increases the maximum possible tilting travel, but is still smaller than the maximum possible tilting travel without the tilting travel limiting device 7.

[0039] Fig. 3d shows the same object as Fig. 2d, wherein the tilting path limiting device 7 according to Fig. 3d, in addition to the attachment to the lever head 5, has an adhesive strip 17. The adhesive strip 17 connects the receiving groove 9 to the lever head 5.

[0040] Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b show an alternative embodiment of a tilting path limiting device 7. The tilting path limiting device 7 again comprises the U-shaped receiving groove 9, which is open in the direction of an edge region 8 (not shown), which is formed by the two legs 11 which are connected to one another by the web 10 and arranged at a distance from one another. The receiving groove 9 serves to receive the edge region 8 of the lever head 5. The surface of the web 10 facing away from the receiving groove 9 forms the stop surface 6. In the illustrated embodiment, the width of the receiving groove 9 increases slightly towards its free end. This makes it easier to slide onto the edge region 8 of the lever head 5. The leg 11 lying against the outside of the lever head 5 has, in the region of its two opposite ends, a clamping section 18, 19 which is approximately adapted to the contour of the lever head 5.By means of these clamping sections 18, 19, the tilting path limiting device 7 can be detachably attached to a lever head 5. The clamping sections 18, 19 act like a clasp that clamps around the lever head 5 over a length greater than half the circumference of the lever head 5. In addition, an adhesive strip 17 can also be provided for attachment to the edge region 8 of a lever head 5, for example, on the inside of one of the two legs 11. In this respect, the tilting path limiting device 7 shown has two clamping sections 18, 19 that partially surround the outside of a lever head 5 for attachment to a lever head 5.

[0041] Fig. 5a and Fig. 5b show a side view and a rear view of a water fitting 1 with a tilting travel limiting device 7 in its shut-off position. The tilting travel limiting device 7 is the one shown in the Fig. 4a and Fig.4b. As can be seen from the figures, the clamping sections 18, 19 of the tilting travel limiting device 7 partially encompass the lever head 5 on the outside, specifically over a length that is greater than half the circumference of the lever head 5. Thus, the tilting travel limiting device 7 is detachably attached to the lever head 5.
