| 20110089355 | SANITARY FITTING WITH A DISPLACEABLY MOUNTED ACTUATING LEVER - The present invention relates to a sanitary fitting ( | 04-21-2011 |
| 20100224812 | Sanitary fitting with limitation of water flow - A sanitary fitting includes a fitting housing; a cartridge disposed in a recess of the fitting housing, the cartridge having a control arm which, for an adjustment of a temperature of water, is rotatable about a rotation axis of the cartridge and, for an adjustment of water flow, is pivotable about a pivot axis running at right angles to the rotation axis, between an off setting and a maximum setting; an actuating lever disposed on the control arm, the actuating lever rotating and pivoting the control arm; and a cap covering the recess and the cartridge, the cap limiting a pivot motion of the actuating lever, and thus of the control arm, between the off setting and the maximum setting in an economy setting. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100213398 | Sanitary fiting with insulated outflow pipe - The sanitary fitting has an outflow pipe and a mounting base. The outflow pipe is arranged galvanically isolated from the mounting base and serves as the electrode of a sensor device. The sensor device detects whether an object, for example a hand, is present in a sensor zone or not and thereupon generates a presence or an absence signal. An electronic control system controls, in accordance with the presence or absence signal, a valve device, which controls a water flow. The electronic control system can also actuate light sources which illuminate the mounting base and the nozzle region. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100206956 | SANITARY FITTING WITH A JOYSTICK CONTROLLER - A sanitary fitting includes a cold water connection; a hot water connection; a mixed water outlet; a valve device for setting a mixed water temperature and a mixed water throughflow rate, wherein the valve device is connected to the cold water connection and the hot water connection at one end and is connected to the mixed water outlet at the other end; an electrical controller for actuating a valve; and a control signal transmitter for generating an input signal to the controller, wherein the valve is an integral constituent part of the valve device, and the controller actuates the valve device as a function of the input signal of the control signal transmitter such that a mixed water temperature and a mixed water throughflow rate are set. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100206409 | SANITARY FITTING WITH A JOINT - A sanitary fitting includes a joint arrangement having a support connection piece that defines an abutment face that is at least approximately flat; a joint part that rests flat against the abutment face by way of an at least approximately flat mating face, and defines a neutral position; a spring that is supported at one end against the support connection piece and at the other end against the joint part, the spring using a spring force to push the joint part against the abutment face by way of the mating face; and a rod-like extremity that is arranged on the joint part at a fixed angle in relation to the mating face. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100084492 | Spray attachment with a separable holding part and spray head - The spray attachment has a holding part with a water guide that can be connected to a feed water pipe, and a spray head with an external housing. Said spray head and the holding part are fastened separably to each other by means of a coupling. Furthermore, the spray head can have switching options for producing different spray jets, and an illuminating means. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100084487 | Switchable spray head - The spray head has a housing-mounted inflow passage for feed water, and a central first outflow passage. A second and a third outflow passage are offset in the circumferential direction with respect to an axis of rotation. Each of the outflow passages is connected to a corresponding water outlet for producing different spray jets. A control element having a connecting channel is disposed in the interior of the spray head and is rotatable about the axis of rotation by the actuating element. The actuating element can execute a lifting movement. In the starting position of the actuating element, the connecting channel exclusively connects the inflow passage to the first outflow passage. In the lifting position of the actuating element, the inflow passage is connected either to the second or the third outflow passage as a function of the actuating element and the associated rotational position of the control element. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20090256096 | Sanitary fitting with separate mounting for the actuating lever - The fitting housing contains a control cartridge, of which the control shank can be pivoted about the pivot axis. The actuating lever can be displaced relative to the control shank, is mounted on the latter and can be pivoted via its own lever axis, this lever axis being guided in the guide track. When the actuating lever is pivoted up and down, it executes a displacement movement relative to the control shank, and this prevents contact between the actuating lever and the fitting housing. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20080291660 | Sanitary fitting with a lightguide outflow pipe - A sanitary fitting includes a light-permeable water-carrying outflow pipe that has (i) an exposed end face and (ii) an input face located upstream of the exposed end face. A light source, preferably including light emitting diodes (LED), inputs light into the outflow pipe through the input face. The light emerges from the outflow pipe at the end face, and may also emerge at an exposed outer peripheral surface area of the outflow pipe. The outflow pipe has a stationary first outflow pipe piece with the input face and a rotatable second outflow pipe piece with the exposed end face. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080202611 | Sanitary fitting with a luminous actuating lever - A control cartridge ( | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080196160 | Water outlet fitting - The rinsing device comprises a flexible connecting pipe which at one end is connected to a connecting element which may be attached to a fitting and at the other end bears a spray head with an actuating lever. The spray head is held on a holder, which protrudes outwardly from the connecting element. The connecting pipe comprises a flexible water feed pipe which is surrounded by a casing element, which is formed by a single spiral tension spring consisting of one piece. Said spiral tension spring consists of a first upright spring portion having a straight spring axis, a second curved spring portion attached thereto and a third, similarly upright spring portion having a straight spring axis, which is attached to the second spring portion. A tube-shaped protective casing extends around the casing element which protects the casing element from soiling. | 08-21-2008 |
