Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for coupling faucet assemblies to sanitary articles such as wash-basins, lavabos, bidets, bath-tubs and the like.
- This device, in particular, can be applied to an edge of a basin or in a recess therefor.
- As is known, faucet assemblies are conventionally applied to sanitary articles by a hole which is made on the body of the sanitary article and, usually, by means of a wall-type of application.
- In order to perform such a coupling, the faucets are provided with threaded end pieces or other threaded elements allowing the faucet body to be clamped to the sanitary article by means of a clamping operation which must be performed from the bottom of the sanitary article.
- With such an arrangement, as the faucet body is to be removed, it is necessary to perform very complex disassembling operations and, mainly, it is necessary to detach the faucet coupling assembly from the water system.
- Another drawback is that the assembling and disassembling operations must be performed in very difficult positions, since the clamping of the ring nut about the threaded portion of the faucet body, passing through the throughgoing hole, or the clamping of the nuts provided on the rod elements coupled to the base of the faucet, is usually performed in a region spaced away from an easily accessible region, thereby these operations are very difficult to be carried out.
- In the case of a wall recessed faucet, moreover, it is necessary to break away the wall plaster and tiles which compels the operator to frequently remake the overall tiled construction.
- Accordingly, the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problems, by providing a device for coupling faucet assemblies to sanitary articles such as wash-basins, lavabos, bidets, bath-tubs and the like which allows to fully modify the conventional assembling concept, so as to perform the fixing operations for coupling the faucet body without the need of accessing the bottom portion of the sanitary article or the like.
- Within the scope of the above mentioned aim, a main object of the present invention is to provide such a coupling device which affords the possibility of performing a very quick coupling, with the interposition of sealing elements which can be assembled without the need of using assembling tools or the like.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a coupling device which allows to remove the faucet driving and adjusting block, without affecting the fittings of the water system. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a coupling device which is very reliable and safe in operation.
- According to the present invention, the above mentioned aim and objects, as well as yet other objects, which will become more apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a device for coupling faucet assemblies to sanitary articles such as wash-basins, lavabos, bidets, bath-tubs and the like, characterized in that said device comprises a fitting body to be fixed to a sanitary article or to a wall, and being connected to cold water and warm water supply ducts, said fitting body including plug-in seats for sealing engaging therein connection fittings, in turn engageable in coupling seats defined in a driving and adjusting block of said faucet, and being adapted to be arranged on said fitting body and to be fixed to said fitting body.
