Definitions

• the invention relates to a sanitary fitting with a base body comprising a water inlet and a valve unit, as well as with a permanently connected to the main body water outlet, which at its end facing away from the main body has an outlet head through which in operation with open valve unit in the water inlet of the body incoming water from the sanitary fitting expires again.
• a base body comprising a water inlet and a valve unit
• a permanently connected to the main body water outlet which at its end facing away from the main body has an outlet head through which in operation with open valve unit in the water inlet of the body incoming water from the sanitary fitting expires again.
• EP 0 872 600 A1 takes into account that a part of the outlet is provided with a water treatment unit.
• the complete treatment cartridge is disposed within the body or within the spout, which makes a cartridge change difficult and no possibility to change the appearance of the fitting.
• DE 295 02 861 U1 describes a water filter which can be installed in an outlet of a sanitary fitting.
• the water outlet comprises a connecting member, which at one end via an inlet part, through which enters the water outlet flowing from the water inlet with open valve unit in the water outlet, firmly with the body is connected, and which carries at its other end the outlet head, and that between the inlet part and the outlet head a replaceable unit is detachably connected to the connecting member which rests watertight on the inlet part on the one hand and the outlet head on the other hand, and through which emerging from the inlet part Water is passed completely into the outlet head.
• the connecting member is configured in the form of a half-shell. This makes it possible to be sensitive to water
• the connecting member consists of a metal or plastic carrier and is preferably designed as a rigid body.
• Metal or plastic substrates are simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
• especially plastic parts in many mold variants can be produced and allow numerous design variants.
• the replaceable unit is connected via a plug waterproof connection with the stationary part of the sanitary fitting.
• Plug connections are particularly easy in their application and also allow the non-specialist quick and easy replacement of the exchange unit.
• the replaceable unit is connected via a bayonet connection with the sanitary fitting. Again, a simple and quick change is possible.
• the replaceable unit is positively connected to the stationary part of the sanitary fitting.
• the replaceable unit contains means for water treatment. This can be dispensed with an additional water treatment plant.
• the water treatment unit contains a filter element, for example of activated carbon, ceramic, sand and / or cellulose.
• a filter element for example of activated carbon, ceramic, sand and / or cellulose.
• the replaceable water treatment unit contains an ion exchanger material. This allows targeted removal of unwanted ions. By exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions, hard water can be softened.
• the water treatment unit contains a disinfection and / or germ protection device.
• a disinfection and / or germ protection device can be for example a UV lamp, silvered activated carbon or a chemical disinfection.
• a membrane for micro-, ultra- or nanofiltration.
• the exchangeable unit contains a bed of gemstones and / or semi-precious stones or combinations of different gemstones and / or semi-precious stones. From the stone healing is known that gemstones can affect the properties of the water positively.
• the housing of the exchangeable unit at least partially made of a transparent material such as break-resistant glass, trogamide or plexiglass.
• a transparent material such as break-resistant glass, trogamide or plexiglass.
• a light source is integrated in the connecting member.
• Assortment of interchangeable units may be provided, which have different colors and / or geometric shapes, but can be connected in the same way to the water outlet.
• Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the sanitary fitting according to the invention when changing the exchange unit; 2 and 3: further embodiments of the fitting according to the invention.
• the sanitary fitting 1; 1'; 1 “comprises a main body 2, 2 'with a valve unit (not shown in the drawing) and an adjusting lever 3, 3', 3" for adjusting the temperature and the flow rate of water to be tapped, a replaceable unit 4; 4 '; 4 ", an inlet part 5, 5 ', 5" to this exchange unit 4; 4 '; 4 "and an outlet head 6, 6 ', 6", in which additionally an aerator 7;
• the inlet part 5, 5 ', 5 is part of a non-continuous water-conducting, rigid connecting member 8; 8th'; 8 ", which serves as a holder for the replaceable unit 4, 4 ', 4" and the inlet part 5; 5 '; 5 “with the outlet head 6, 6 ', 6” mechanically connects.
• the water flows over the inlet part 5; 5 '; 5 "in the interchangeable unit 4, 4 ', 4" and from there into the outlet head 6; 6 ';
• the unit 4, 4 ', 4 " can be filled as a treatment unit with activated charcoal, ion exchange material or gemstones.
• the unit 4; 4 '; 4 "by means of connectors 9, 9 ', 9" can be solved and mounted easily and quickly.
• the unit 4, 4 ', 4" is positively connected to the stationary part of the sanitary fitting 1; 1 '; 1 "connected.
