Description

[0001] The invention relates to a tool for assembling and / or disassembling a sanitary insert, in particular a sanitary outlet nozzle.

[0002] Tools for assembling and / or disassembling sanitary inserts, such as sanitary outlet nozzles, also known as aerators, are known from the state of the art. In the assembly / disassembly known from the state of the art, the sanitary insert, which is often attached to a sanitary fitting with a thread, is screwed onto the sanitary fitting by hand using fingers. A tool can then be used to tighten the sanitary insert. When screwing and handling it with the help of the fingers, the sanitary insert can easily fall out of the user's hand. Furthermore, the necessary torque to tighten the sanitary insert cannot be effectively applied with the fingers.

[0003] The object of the invention is to improve tools for assembling and disassembling sanitary inserts. The object is also to improve the connection between the tool and the sanitary insert.

[0004] To achieve the stated object, the features of claim 1 are provided according to the invention. In particular, to achieve the stated object, the invention proposes that the tool has locking means for connecting to the sanitary insert part. This can, for example, make it possible to connect the tool to the sanitary insert part. Due to the connection, a torque or another force, for example a compressive force or a tensile force, can be transmitted from the tool to the sanitary insert part. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool has counter-locking means for connecting to the sanitary insert part. This can, for example, make it possible to connect the tool to the sanitary insert part.Alternatively or additionally, the tool may be provided with locking means and / or counter-locking means for a detachable connection to the sanitary insert. This may, for example, make it possible for the locking means and / or counter-locking means of the tool to be detachable from the sanitary insert, in particular for the locking means and / or counter-locking means to be detachable again after connection.

[0005] Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that the tool has locking means and / or counter-locking means designed to form a captive connection with the sanitary insert part. This can, for example, make it possible for the locking means and / or counter-locking means of the tool to be connected to the sanitary insert part in such a way that they are captive, i.e. cannot be easily separated from one another while they are connected. An unintentional release of the connection between the tool and the sanitary insert part can thus be prevented. An unintentional release can, for example, be the sanitary insert part falling off the tool due to gravity. The tool can be connected to the sanitary insert part, which can then be fastened in a sanitary fitting with the tool. This can be particularly helpful for assembly / disassembly work overhead or in an inclined position.The tool can be used to create a captive connection between the tool and the sanitary insert. This means that during assembly / disassembly, the sanitary insert does not have to be screwed into the sanitary outlet fitting with hands and fingers, but can be screwed in using the tool. This prevents the sanitary insert from falling out of the hand. The tool also offers a more advantageous gripping surface for the fingers than the sanitary insert. The tool can therefore be connected to the sanitary insert, with the tool supporting the sanitary insert. The captive connection makes the sanitary insert easier to install. Incorrect screwing in of the sanitary insert and the resulting defects in the aerator or fitting can thus be prevented.After tightening the sanitary insert with the tool, the tool can be removed from the sanitary insert. To disassemble the sanitary insert, the tool is connected to the sanitary insert, which can then be removed by screwing.

[0006] A captive connection can be characterized, for example, by the fact that a minimum pull-out force is required to release the connection. For example, the captive connection can have a release force that initially increases with increasing distance and then decreases, for example, suddenly, beyond a certain distance and / or when the connection is released, which can be very small.

[0007] Overall, the tool can be configured to apply a rotational movement and / or torque to the sanitary insert. This allows, for example, a screwing or unscrewing movement to be driven by the tool.

[0008] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the tool has a drive section. This can, for example, make it possible for the drive section to be set up for power transmission and to transmit torque. In particular, the drive section can have a wall. This can, for example, make it possible for the drive section to be hollow and for power to be transmitted via the wall. In particular, the drive section can have a cross-sectional contour that remains constant along its length. This can make different geometries of the drive section possible, which can have a positive effect on the stability of the tool. The drive section can, in particular, be cylindrical. This can, for example, make it possible for the drive section of the tool to be attached to a cylindrically shaped sanitary insert.Alternatively, the drive section can be polygonally shaped. This can, for example, make it possible for the drive section to be attached to a correspondingly polygonally shaped sanitary insert part. This can result in the torque from the drive section being able to be advantageously effectively and efficiently transmitted to the sanitary insert part. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the locking means is arranged on one side of the drive section. This can, for example, make it possible for the locking means of the tool to interact with a counter-locking means of the sanitary insert part to establish a connection. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the counter-locking means is arranged on one side of the drive section.This can, for example, make it possible for the counter-locking means of the tool to interact with a locking means of the sanitary insert to establish a connection on the side of the drive section. In particular, it can be provided that the locking means and / or counter-locking means are arranged on a periphery of the drive section. This can, for example, make it possible for the locking means and / or counter-locking means to be particularly easily connected to the sanitary insert.

[0009] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the tool has two locking means. This can, for example, make it possible for the two locking means of the tool to interact with two matching counter-locking means of a sanitary insert part in order to transmit a torque to the latter. With two locking means, the torque transmission can be particularly high and / or particularly effective. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool has two counter-locking means. This can, for example, make it possible for the two counter-locking means of the tool to interact with two matching locking means of a sanitary insert part in order to transmit a torque to the latter. In particular, it can be provided that both locking means are spaced differently from an axial axis of the tool.This allows, for example, different types of sanitary inserts to be gripped and applied with the same tool. Alternatively or additionally, both counter-locking means can be spaced at different distances from an axial axis of the tool. This allows, for example, different types of sanitary inserts to be gripped and applied with the same tool. The axial axis can correspond to a longitudinal axis of the tool.

[0010] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the two locking means are arranged on two spaced-apart circular paths around the or an axial axis of the tool. This allows, for example, different designs of sanitary inserts to be gripped and subjected to force with the same tool. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the two counter-locking means are arranged on two spaced-apart circular paths around the or an axial axis of the tool. This allows, for example, different designs of sanitary inserts to be gripped and subjected to force with the same tool.

[0011] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the two locking means have the same longitudinal extent in the axial direction of the tool. This allows, for example, the two locking means to engage in counter-locking means on the sanitary insert part, which have the same position on the sanitary insert part, relative to an axial axis of the sanitary insert part. Alternatively, it can be provided that the two locking means have a different longitudinal extent in the axial direction of the tool. This allows, for example, the two locking means to engage in counter-locking means on the sanitary insert part, which have a different position on the sanitary insert part, relative to an axial axis of the sanitary insert part. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the two counter-locking means have the same longitudinal extent in the axial direction of the tool.This allows, for example, the two counter-locking means to engage locking means on the sanitary insert part that have the same position on the sanitary insert part relative to an axial axis of the sanitary insert part. Alternatively, it can be provided that the two counter-locking means have a different longitudinal extension in the axial direction of the tool. This allows, for example, the two counter-locking means to engage locking means on the sanitary insert part that have a different position on the sanitary insert part relative to an axial axis of the sanitary insert part.

[0012] Alternatively or additionally, the features of the independent claim directed to a sanitary insert part are provided according to the invention to achieve the stated object.

[0013] To achieve the object, a sanitary insert part is proposed, characterized in that the sanitary insert part has locking means designed to be connected to a counter-locking means of a tool. This can, for example, make it possible for the sanitary insert part and the tool to be connected to one another. Due to the connection, a torque or another force, for example a push or a pull, can be transmitted from the tool to the sanitary insert part. In particular, it is provided that the sanitary insert part is a sanitary outlet nozzle. Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that the sanitary insert part has counter-locking means designed to be connected to a locking means of a tool. This can, for example, make it possible for the sanitary insert part and the tool to be connected to one another.Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the sanitary insert part has locking means and / or counter-locking means in order to be detachably connected to a locking means and / or counter-locking means of the tool. This can, for example, make it possible to release the connection between the sanitary insert part and the tool. This is necessary, for example, after the sanitary insert part has been installed in a sanitary fitting. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the sanitary insert part has locking means and / or counter-locking means in order to be captively connected to a locking means and / or counter-locking means of the tool. This can, for example, make it possible to captively connect the sanitary insert part and the tool. This is advantageous for assembly because the sanitary insert part can be connected to a sanitary fitting more easily if it is first attached to the tool.In particular, it is provided that the sanitary engagement part is formed as a locking means and / or anti-locking means in order to be connected to a locking means or anti-locking means of a tool according to claim 1, preferably detachably and / or positively connected. As a result, it can be achieved, for example, that the locking means and the anti-locking means are designed to correspond to each other, i.e., they cooperate properly.

[0014] Alternatively or additionally, to achieve the stated object, the invention provides the features of the independent claim 4, which is directed to a set comprising a tool and a sanitary insert part. To achieve the object, a set comprising a tool and a sanitary insert part is thus proposed, wherein the tool is designed for mounting the sanitary insert part, characterized in that the tool for mounting can be connected to the sanitary insert part in a captive manner. This can, for example, make it possible to connect a sanitary insert part to the tool in a captive manner. This is helpful during assembly, particularly during assembly in an inclined position or overhead, since the sanitary insert part cannot thus be accidentally separated from the tool. In particular, it can be provided that the sanitary insert part is a sanitary outlet nozzle.Alternatively or additionally, the tool can be configured to disassemble the sanitary insert and is characterized by being captively connected to the sanitary insert for disassembly. This can, for example, make it possible to securely connect a sanitary insert to the tool. This is helpful during disassembly, particularly during disassembly at an angle or overhead, as it prevents the sanitary insert from being accidentally separated from the tool.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the captive connection between tool and sanitary insert part is achieved by means of a positive fit. This can, for example, make it possible for the positive connection to block relative movement of the locking means and counter-locking means (and vice versa). In particular, the positive connection can be a snap fit. The locking element / counter-locking element deforms and forms a releasable and / or captive connection with a corresponding counter-locking element / locking element. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the captive connection between tool and sanitary insert part is achieved by means of a force fit. This can, for example, make it possible for the captive connection to be achieved by high frictional forces between the locking element and counter-locking element. In particular, the force-fitting connection can be an interference fit.A compressive force presses the locking element / counter-locking element into a corresponding receptacle, whereby the receptacle is slightly too small, or the locking element / counter-locking element slightly too large. This elastically deforms the locking element / counter-locking element, and high frictional forces between the locking element / counter-locking element and the receptacle result in a captive connection. A tensile force, i.e., pulling the tool on the sanitary insert, can break the positive and / or frictional connection.

[0016] Alternatively or additionally, according to the invention, the features of the dependent claim directed to a method for assembling and / or disassembling a sanitary insert part with a tool are provided to solve the above-mentioned problem. In particular, it is thus proposed that the tool is non-detachably connected to the sanitary insert part for assembly. Thereby, for example, a method for assembling a sanitary insert part with a tool can be achieved, characterized in that the tool is non-detachably connected to the sanitary insert part for assembly. An advantage here is that the sanitary insert part cannot be lost when it is connected to the tool. On the contrary, it is connected to the tool in a loss-proof manner.For assembly, the tool can be captively connected to the sanitary insert, whereby the sanitary insert is then arranged on the tool and can be fastened to a sanitary fitting by means of the tool. Alternatively or additionally, the tool can be captively connected to the sanitary insert for disassembly. This can, for example, ensure that the sanitary insert is captively attached to the tool during disassembly. During disassembly, for example when unscrewing the sanitary insert from a sanitary fitting, the sanitary insert is always securely connected to the tool and cannot be lost if the connection between the sanitary insert and the sanitary fitting is released.

[0017] A preferred application of the invention provides for the tool and sanitary insert to be connected by means of a positive fit. This can, for example, create a particularly stable and captive connection that prevents accidental loosening of the connection. In particular, it is provided that the positive fit is a snap fit. Snap connections represent a structurally simple type of positive connection. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the tool and sanitary insert are connected by means of a force fit. A force fit through friction between the locking element and counter-locking element represents a structurally simple and captive fastening that is nevertheless detachable. In particular, the force-fitting connection can be an interference fit. This can, for example, enable a simple and captive connection between the locking element and counter-locking element.The connection can be released by pulling the tool.

[0018] A preferred application of the invention provides that a force greater than the weight of the tool is applied to release the tool from the sanitary insert. This can, for example, make it possible for the tool to be released from the sanitary insert when the force is greater than the weight of the tool. In particular, it is provided that a tensile force greater than the weight of the tool is applied to release the tool from the sanitary insert. This can, for example, make it possible for the tool to be released from the sanitary insert by pulling. However, the connection between the sanitary insert and the tool is only released when the tensile force is greater than the weight of the tool. This prevents unintentional release.

[0019] A preferred application of the invention provides that a first locking means of the tool interacts with a first counter-locking means of the sanitary insert. This allows, for example, a torque to be transmitted or transferable from the tool to the sanitary insert. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that a second locking means of the tool interacts with a second counter-locking means of the sanitary insert. This can, for example, achieve a particularly high torque being transmitted from the tool to the sanitary insert, since both locking means interact with both counter-locking means.

[0020] Alternatively or additionally, the features of the independent claim directed to a use are provided according to the invention to achieve the stated object. In particular, it is thus proposed that a previously described tool be used to apply a torque to a previously described sanitary insert.

[0021] The tool is made of plastic, which has the advantage that it is less hard than (stainless) steel or chrome-plated applications on sanitary fittings and therefore cannot scratch them.

[0022] In ventilated sanitary inserts, dirt and limescale deposits can occur in the air intake area. These can be removed with the tool by engaging the locking mechanism / counter-locking mechanism of the tool in the air intake openings. This allows for advantageous and uncomplicated dirt removal with the tool, which improves the function of the sanitary insert and extends its service life. In one embodiment of the invention, it can therefore be provided that the tool engages or can engage the intake openings. This allows the individual key bars to free the air intake area of ​​dirt and limescale deposits.

[0023] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments, but is not limited to the exemplary embodiments. Further exemplary embodiments result from combining the features of one or more claims with one another and / or with one or more features of the exemplary embodiments.

[0025] Figure 1 shows a tool 1 for assembling and disassembling a sanitary insert part 2. This assembly / disassembly can, for example, be screwing in / unscrewing. For this purpose or in general, the tool 1 can be configured to apply a torque to the sanitary insert part 2 and to drive a rotary movement.

[0026] The sanitary insert part 2 in this embodiment is a sanitary outlet nozzle 3. The tool 1 has locking means 4 for a detachable and captive connection 6 with the sanitary insert part 2. The tool 1 has a drive section 7 that is cylindrically shaped. The locking means 4 is arranged on a periphery 8 of a side 9 of the drive section 7. On a 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 part 2. The handle 11 is wing-shaped. In the side view ( Fig. 2 ) shows a thread 12 of the sanitary insert part 2. The sanitary insert part 2 can be screwed into a sanitary fitting (not shown) using the tool 1.

[0027] In the illustrated embodiments, the drive section 7 has a wall. The drive section has a consistent cross-sectional contour along its length. In the illustrated embodiments, the drive section is cylindrical. In an embodiment not shown, the drive section is polygonal.

[0028] Fig. 3 shows the locking means 4 of the tool 1, which interacts with the counter-locking means 5 of the sanitary insert part 2 and forms a detachable and captive, positive snap connection 13. Fig. 4shows the tool 1 without the sanitary insert part 2. In order for the positive snap connection 13 to be created, the locking means 4 are pressed into receptacles of the sanitary insert part 2. Conversely, the counter-locking means 5 of the sanitary insert part 2 are pressed into receptacles 17 of the tool 1. In the process, the locking lugs 14 of the locking means 4 of the tool 1 are pressed against the counter-locking lugs 15 of the counter-locking means 5 of the sanitary insert part 2. The locking means 4 and the counter-locking means 5 are elastically deformed by being pressed together and thus locking into one another. The connection 6 can be released again by a tensile force 16.

[0029] The sanitary insert part 2 has counter-locking means 5 designed to be detachably and securely connected to the locking means 4 of the tool 1. Within the meaning of the patent specification, it is obvious that the locking means 4 and counter-locking means 5 are also present in a reversed arrangement on the tool 1 and the sanitary insert part 2, depending on the point of view. The figures show a set comprising tool 1 and sanitary insert part 2, wherein the sanitary insert part 2 is a sanitary outlet nozzle 3. The tool 1 is designed for assembling and disassembling the sanitary insert part 2. For this purpose, it can be securely connected to the sanitary insert part 2. The secure connection 6 is made by means of positive locking and / or frictional locking. A positive connection 19 is shown in the Figures 1 to 4 and 13 to 22shown. Here, the captive connection 6 is created by a snap connection 13, i.e., a snap fit, whereby the locking lug 14 of the tool 1 is elastically deformed. The locking lug 14 then engages with the sanitary insert 2, creating a captive connection 6 that can, however, be released by a tensile force. This tensile force will initially increase with increasing distance during the elastic deformation of the locking lug 14, and then suddenly drop once the connection 6 is released.

[0030] The captive connection 6 between tool 1 and sanitary insert 2 is also or alternatively effected by frictional locking. A frictional connection 20 is provided in the Figures 5 to 12 shown. Here, the frictional connection is realized by an interference fit 21. With a frictional connection, a minimum force is required to overcome static friction, which drops abruptly when the friction transitions to sliding friction.

[0031] Receptacles 17 on the drive section 7 of the tool 1 for the counter-locking means 5 of the sanitary insert part are designed somewhat smaller than the counter-locking means 5 of the sanitary insert part 2. By a pressure force 18, the counter-locking means 5 can be pressed into the receptacles 17, whereby the force-locking connection 20 is achieved by an interference fit 21.

[0032] A method for assembling the sanitary insert part 2 with the tool 1, wherein the tool 1 is captively connected to the sanitary insert part 2 for assembly, comprises the following steps. The tool 1 is connected to the sanitary insert part 2 by a compressive force 18. Preferably, both parts are held in the hands of a user for this purpose. The locking means 4 / counter-locking means 5 are inserted into corresponding receptacles 17. After connection, the sanitary insert part 2 is captively connected to the tool 1 and can be moved with it. The tool 1 and sanitary insert part 2 are then placed on an outlet of a sanitary fitting and screwed tight. The locking means 4 and counter-locking means 5 allow force to be transmitted from the tool 1 to the sanitary insert part 2.

[0033] A method for disassembling the sanitary insert part 2 with the tool 1, wherein the tool 1 is captively connected to the sanitary insert part 2 for assembly, comprises the following steps. The tool 1 is connected to the sanitary insert part 2, which is located in the outlet of a sanitary fitting, by a compressive force 18. After connection, the sanitary insert part 2 is captively connected to the tool 1 and can be moved with it. The sanitary insert part 2 can be unscrewed from the sanitary fitting by a rotating movement.

[0034] During assembly and disassembly, the connection between tool 1 and sanitary insert 2 is achieved by positive locking and / or frictional locking. To release tool 1 from the sanitary insert 2, a tensile force 16 must be applied that is greater than the weight of tool 1.

[0035] The tool 1 has a crown structure 22, which serves to transmit the torque from the tool 1 to the sanitary insert 2. The torque can be transmitted where the locking means 4 and the counter-locking means 5 are in contact on the crown structure 22. The locking means 4 and the receptacles 17 of the tool 1 are part of the crown structure 22. The drive section 7 of the tool 1 is hollow. In an embodiment not shown, the drive section 7 is solid.

[0036] The Figures 20 to 22show a tool 1 with two locking means 4, 4a and two counter-locking means 5, 5a. The two locking means 4, 4a and the two counter-locking means 5, 5a are spaced differently from an axial axis 23 of the tool 1. The first locking means 4 is closer to the axial axis 23 of the tool 1 than the second locking means 4a. The two spaced-apart circular paths 24, 24a, shown in dashed lines, illustrate the arrangement of the locking means 4, 4a and counter-locking means 5, 5a. Figure 22 shows that the two locking means 4a, 4 have different longitudinal extensions 25, 25a in the axial direction of the tool 1.

[0037] A tool 1 and a method for assembling and / or disassembling a sanitary insert part 2, in particular a sanitary outlet mouthpiece 3, are proposed, characterized in that the tool 1 has locking means 4 and / or counter-locking means 5 for a preferably detachable and / or captive connection 6 with the sanitary insert part 2.
