Definitions
- the invention relates to a soap dispenser fitting comprising a housing, a spout and a reciprocating pump disposed within the fitting, which is moved by an actuating member to convey liquid soap from a reservoir to the spout.
- a soap dispenser fitting is known with a housing to which the spout is attached and which has inside a reciprocating pump, which is actuated by a movable on the top of the operating knob.
- a reciprocating pump which is actuated by a movable on the top of the operating knob.
- the object of the invention is to provide a simple robust construction of a soap dispenser fitting, which has a high security against wanton destruction. It is another object of the invention to provide a shapely appearance for a soap dispenser fitting.
- Such a construction results in a soap dispenser fitting without a separate movable operating knob. Rather, the upper portion of the fitting housing and thus the upper part forms a movable element, which is displaceable downwards by hand and thereby allows actuation of the pump. In this case, the upper part of the lower part can be kept so securely movable or guided that considerable forces can be absorbed without causing damage to a wanton force. Furthermore, such a construction leads to a shapely appearance.
- the soap dispenser has a housing which is divided into a housing lower part 1 and a housing upper part 2.
- the tubular, cylindrical housing lower part 1 is overlapped by the upper housing part 2, which has a cylindrical outer side, such that the cylindrical inner side rests against the outer surface of the housing lower part 1 in a form-fitting manner and is guided thereby, so that the upper part 2 can be moved up and down relative to the lower part 1 is.
- the axis of the upper part 2 is arranged coaxially to the vertical axis of the lower part 1.
- a pump housing 6 which has on its outer side an annular groove 7 into which a grub screw 8 engages, which is seated in the wall of the lower part 1 in a threaded bore.
- the pump housing 6 has a vertical cylindrical coaxial pump chamber 9, in which a pump piston 10 is guided, on which a hollow piston rod 11 is fixed, which is led out vertically upwards out of the pump housing 6 and secured to the upper part 2.
- the pump chamber 9 is thus divided by the piston 10 into an upper space 9a and a lower space 9b.
- the upper space 9a is connected via the interior of the piston rod 11 to the outlet 12, which is horizontally attached to the upper end of the upper part 2 and protrudes.
- the lower space 9b is connected via a check valve 13 to a connection nipple 14a, to which a hose, not shown, can be connected, which leads to the reservoir containing the liquid soap.
- the upper part 2 has an upper actuating surface 14, so that the upper end of the upper part 2 forms the actuating button. If pressed on the actuating surface 14 by hand, so the upper part 2 moves downward and this moves over the piston rod 11, the piston 10 with down. During this movement, the check valve 13 is closed and the liquid soap located in the lower space 9b flows past the outer edge of the piston 10 into a space 9a.
- the piston 10 is formed of a rubber-elastic material, so that the outer side of the piston 10 operates as a check valve.
- the pump housing 6 forms at the upper end a blind bore 17, in which from above positively a cup-shaped part 18 slidably rests with its opening down, which rests in the bottom of the upper end of the upper part 2 in particular is screwed.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Seifenspenderarmatur mit einem Gehäuse, einem Auslauf und einer innerhalb der Armatur angeordneten Hubkolbenpumpe, die durch ein Betätigungsteil bewegt wird, um flüssige Seife aus einem Vorratsbehälter zum Auslauf zu fördern.The invention relates to a soap dispenser fitting comprising a housing, a spout and a reciprocating pump disposed within the fitting, which is moved by an actuating member to convey liquid soap from a reservoir to the spout.
Aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine einfache robuste Konstruktion einer Seifenspenderarmatur zu schaffen, die eine hohe Sicherheit gegen eine mutwillige Zerstörung besitzt. Ferner ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, für eine Seifenspenderarmatur ein formschönes Äußeres zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide a simple robust construction of a soap dispenser fitting, which has a high security against wanton destruction. It is another object of the invention to provide a shapely appearance for a soap dispenser fitting.
Diese Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst,
- dass das Gehäuse in ein am Waschtisch befestigbares Unterteil und ein am Unterteil senkrecht beweglich gelagertes koaxiales Oberteil aufgeteilt ist,
- dass das Pumpengehäuse innerhalb beider Gehäuseteile angeordnet und im Unterteil unbeweglich fest ist,
- dass der Pumpenkolben zu seiner Betätigung mit dem Oberteil über eine Kolbenstange verbunden ist,
- dass der Auslauf am Oberteil befestigt ist,
- dass das Oberteil das Betätigungsteil insbesondere den Betätigungsknopf bildet.
- that the housing is divided into a lower part which can be fastened to the washstand and a coaxial upper part which is mounted so as to be vertically movable on the lower part,
- that the pump housing is arranged within both housing parts and immovably fixed in the lower part,
- that the pump piston is connected to its operation with the upper part via a piston rod,
- that the spout is attached to the top,
- the upper part forms the actuating part, in particular the actuating button.
Eine solche Konstruktion führt zu einer Seifenspenderarmatur ohne einen separaten beweglichen Betätigungsknopf. Vielmehr bildet der obere Bereich des Armaturengehäuses und damit das Oberteil ein bewegliches Element, das von Hand nach unten verschieblich ist und hierdurch eine Betätigung der Pumpe ermöglicht. Dabei kann das Oberteil am Unterteil derart sicher beweglich gehalten bzw. geführt sein, dass erhebliche Kräfte aufgenommen werden können, ohne bei einem mutwilligen Kraftaufwand Beschädigungen zu erreichen. Ferner führt eine solche Konstruktion zu einem formschönen Äußeren.Such a construction results in a soap dispenser fitting without a separate movable operating knob. Rather, the upper portion of the fitting housing and thus the upper part forms a movable element, which is displaceable downwards by hand and thereby allows actuation of the pump. In this case, the upper part of the lower part can be kept so securely movable or guided that considerable forces can be absorbed without causing damage to a wanton force. Furthermore, such a construction leads to a shapely appearance.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are listed in the subclaims.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung in einem axialen senkrechten Schnitt dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing in an axial vertical section and will be described in more detail below.
Die Seifenspenderarmatur besitzt ein Gehäuse, das in ein Gehäuseunterteil 1 und ein Gehäuseoberteil 2 aufgeteilt ist. Das rohrförmige, zylindrische Gehäuseunterteil 1 ist vom Gehäuseoberteil 2, das eine zylindrische Außenseite aufweist, derart übergriffen, dass die zylindrische Innenseite an der Außenfläche des Gehäuseunterteils 1 formschlüssig anliegt und hierdurch geführt ist, so dass das Oberteil 2 gegenüber dem Unterteil 1 auf- und abbeweglich ist. Hierbei ist die Achse des Oberteils 2 koaxial zur senkrechten Achse des Unterteils 1 angeordnet.The soap dispenser has a housing which is divided into a housing lower part 1 and a housing
Am Unterteil 1 steht außen ein flanschförmiger ringförmiger Bund 3 vor, der auf der Oberseite des Waschtisches zur Anlage gelangt, wenn das Unterteil mit seinem, ein Außengewinde 3 aufweisenden unteren Rohrbereich 4 in einer Bohrung des Waschtisches eingesteckt ist.On the lower part 1 is outside a flange-shaped
In dem von beiden Teilen 1, 2 gebildeten inneren und ineinander übergehenden Hohlraum 5 liegt ein Pumpengehäuse 6 ein, das an seiner Außenseite eine Ringnut 7 besitzt, in die eine Madenschraube 8 eingreift, die in der Wandung des Unterteils 1 in einer Gewindebohrung einsitzt. Hierdurch ist das Pumpengehäuse 6 sicher im Unterteil 1 unbeweglich gehalten.In the formed by two
Das Pumpengehäuse 6 besitzt einen senkrechten zylindrischen koaxialen Pumpenraum 9, in dem ein Pumpenkolben 10 geführt ist, an dem eine hohle Kolbenstange 11 befestigt ist, die senkrecht nach oben aus dem Pumpengehäuse 6 herausgeführt und am Oberteil 2 befestigt ist.The
Der Pumpenraum 9 ist damit durch den Kolben 10 in einen oberen Raum 9a und einen unteren Raum 9b aufgeteilt. Hierbei ist der obere Raum 9a über das Innere der Kolbenstange 11 mit dem Auslauf 12 verbunden, der waagerecht am oberen Ende des Oberteils 2 befestigt ist und vorsteht. Der untere Raum 9b ist über ein Rückschlagventil 13 mit einem Anschlussnippel 14a verbunden, an dem ein nicht dargestellter Schlauch anschließbar ist, der zum Vorratsbehälter führt, der die Flüssigseife enthält.The pump chamber 9 is thus divided by the
Das Oberteil 2 besitzt eine obere Betätigungsfläche 14, so dass das obere Ende des Oberteils 2 den Betätigungsknopf bildet. Wird auf die Betätigungsfläche 14 von Hand gedrückt, so bewegt sich das Oberteil 2 nach unten und bewegt hierbei über die Kolbenstange 11 den Kolben 10 mit nach unten. Bei dieser Bewegung ist das Rückschlagventil 13 geschlossen und die im unteren Raum 9b befindliche Flüssigseife strömt am äußeren Rand des Kolbens 10 vorbei in einen Raum 9a. Hierbei ist der Kolben 10 aus einem gummielastischen Material gebildet, so dass die Außenseite des Kolbens 10 als Rückschlagventil arbeitet.The
Sobald auf die Betätigungsfläche 14 nicht mehr gedrückt wird, bewegt eine die Kolbenstange 11 außen umgebende Schraubendruckfeder 15, die sich mit ihrem unteren Ende am Pumpengehäuse 6 abstützt, das Oberteil 2 und damit auch den Kolben 10 nach oben, wodurch über das Rückschlagventil 13 flüssige Seife in den Pumpenraum 9b nachströmen kann und die im oberen Raum 9a befindliche Flüssigseife durch den Hohlraum der Kolbenstange 11 nach oben in den Auslauf 12 strömt. Somit wird bei jedem Drücken auf die Betätigungsfläche 14 jeweils eine Flüssigkeitsseifenportion aus der Öffnung 16 am Ende des Auslaufs 12 ausgegeben.As soon as the actuating
Das Pumpengehäuse 6 bildet am oberen Ende eine Sackbohrung 17, in der von oben formschlüssig ein topfförmiger Teil 18 verschieblich mit seiner Öffnung nach unten einliegt, das in der Unterseite des oberen Endes des Oberteils 2 einliegt insbesondere eingeschraubt ist. Hierbei liegt die Feder 15 in der Bohrung 17 und im Teil 18 ein und die Kolbenstange 11 durchquert die Bohrung 17 und das Teil 18 über seine gesamte Länge, um mit dem Zuführungskanal 19 im Auslauf 12 verbunden zu sein. Damit wird das Oberteil 2 nicht nur durch das Unterteil 1, sondern auch durch das Pumpengehäuse 6 geführt.The pump housing 6 forms at the upper end a
