Plumbing fitting having a water-conducting hose

Abstract

A plumbing fitting that includes a housing having an outlet, water being conductible through the outlet from a hose connection to a jet former of the outlet with the aid of a hose. The hose being insertable into an outlet nipple of the hose connection, and the outlet nipple having a groove extending from an opening in which a seal is disposed for the purpose of sealing the housing against the outlet nipple. The groove being at least partially closed by a closing element disposed on an end face of the outlet nipple.

Claims

1. A plumbing fitting comprising: a hose connection; an outlet nipple; and a housing having an outlet, water being conductible through the outlet from the hose connection to a jet former of the outlet with the aid of a hose, wherein the hose is insertable into the outlet nipple of the hose connection, wherein the outlet nipple has a groove extending from an opening in which a seal is disposed for sealing the hose against the outlet nipple, wherein the groove is at least partially closed by a closing element disposed on an end face of the outlet nipple, wherein the seal is wedged between an inner wall of the groove and an exterior wall of the hose, such that the seal directly abuts both the inner wall of the groove and the exterior wall of the hose, and wherein the closing element has a first stop and a second stop, between which a stop of the outlet or a solder sleeve is pivotable in a first gap.

2. The plumbing fitting according to claim 1, wherein the closing element is mountable on a spline toothing.

8. The plumbing fitting according to claim 1, wherein the outlet is fastened to the housing via a fastening component.

9. The plumbing fitting according to claim 1, wherein the end face of the outlet nipple has the opening, such that the opening of the outlet nipple extends through the end face, and wherein the groove of the outlet nipple is recessed from the end face.

10. The plumbing fitting according to claim 1, wherein the groove opens into the opening of the outlet nipple.

11. The plumbing fitting according to claim 1, wherein the first stop and the second stop protrude in a same direction from a same surface of the closing element.

12. A plumbing fitting comprising: a hose connection; an outlet nipple; and a housing having an outlet, water being conductible through the outlet from the hose connection to a jet former of the outlet with the aid of a hose, wherein the hose is insertable into the outlet nipple of the hose connection, wherein the outlet nipple has a groove extending from an opening in which a seal is disposed for sealing the hose against the outlet nipple, wherein the groove is at least partially closed by a closing element disposed on an end face of the outlet nipple, wherein the seal is wedged between an inner wall of the groove and an exterior wall of the hose, such that the seal directly abuts both the inner wall of the groove and the exterior wall of the hose, and wherein the outlet has a stop that prevents the closing element from being detached from the end face of the outlet nipple.

13. The plumbing fitting according to claim 12, wherein the stop extends radially inwardly from an inner side of the housing.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus, are not limitive of the present invention, and wherein:

(2) FIG. 1 shows a sectional representation of a plumbing fitting;

(3) FIG. 2 shows a partial sectional view of a second design variant of a plumbing fitting; and

(4) FIG. 3 shows a perspective representation of a hose connection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(5) FIG. 1 shows a sectional representation of a plumbing fitting 1, including a housing 2 and an outlet 3. In this case, housing 2 is fastened to a carrier, which is not illustrated, which may be a worktop or a washbasin or sink. Outlet 3 is mounted on housing 2 and fastened with the aid of a fastening component 14, designed in the manner of a clamp, which engages with an inner groove 17 of outlet 3. To prevent water dispensed by plumbing fitting 1 from coming into contact with the outlet, plumbing fitting 1 has a hose 4, with the aid of which water is conductible from a hose connection 5 to a jet former 6. Hose connection 5 includes an outlet nipple 7, which is provided with an at least partially tubular design and which extends in a longitudinal direction 13. Hose 4 is inserted into outlet nipple 7 through an opening 8 of outlet nipple 7. A groove 9 extends from opening 8 in the direction of longitudinal direction 13 of outlet nipple 7. A seal 10, which seals hose 4 against outlet nipple 7 and which is an O ring in this case, is disposed in this groove 9. In this exemplary embodiment, opening 8 is completely closed by a closing element 11 disposed on an end face 21 of outlet nipple 7. For this purpose, hose 4 extends through closing element 11. Closing element 11 is rotationally symmetrical and designed in the manner of a cover. Closing element 11 is furthermore mounted on a spline toothing 12, which is formed on a peripheral surface 19 of outlet nipple 7. Closing element 11 is rotatably fixedly connected hereby to outlet nipple 7. Outlet 3 also has a stop 15, which extends radially inwardly from an inner side 16 of outlet 3. It prevents closing element 11 from becoming detached, due to a form fit.

(6) FIG. 2 shows a sectional representation of a second design variant of plumbing fitting 1. The second design variant differs from the first design variant of plumbing fitting 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 only in that closing element 11 is fastened to outlet nipple 7 by a latching hook 20. In addition, outlet nipple 7 and closing element 11 do not have a spline toothing 12. As a result, the second exemplary embodiment of plumbing fitting 1 does not have a pivot angle limitation of outlet 3.

(7) FIG. 3 shows a perspective representation of a hose connection 5, as used in the first and second design variants of plumbing fitting 1. It is apparent here, in particular, that closing element 11 has a first stop 22 and a second stop 23 on its face. First stop 22 is formed by a first cam 24 and second stop 23 is formed by a second cam 25. A first gap 26, which defines a pivoting range of outlet 3, which is not shown here, is defined between first stop 22 and second stop 23. Stop 15 of outlet 3, or a solder sleeve 27 of outlet 3, engages with gap 26 and is pivotable therein up to first stop 22 and second stop 23. For this purpose, first gap 26 is designed to be bigger than stop 15. In this case, stop 15 is formed on solder sleeve 27 and extends radially inwardly from solder sleeve 27. By displacing closing element 11 within spline toothing 12, the pivot angle may thus be set independently of the alignment of plumbing fitting 1. Closing element 11 furthermore has a second gap 18 between first stop 22 and second stop 23. By correspondingly aligning closing element 11 to spline toothing 12, for example by rotating it by 180, stop 15 may be inserted into or engage with second gap 18, so that outlet 3 is fixed in place and thus has no pivot angle. Second gap 18 and stop 15 preferably have an essentially congruent size for this purpose.

(8) Due to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a plumbing fitting may be provided with a particularly slim design. The plumbing fitting is also easy to maintain and has a small number of sealing points.

(9) The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are to be included within the scope of the following claims.
