Abstract

An insert part is provided having a water-channeling cartridge housing which is insertable into a housing holder in a water line. The water-channeling cartridge housing includes at least one encircling annular groove on an outer circumference thereof, and a sealing ring is arranged in this groove. The sealing ring has a ring cross section with a sub-region that projects radially outward beyond the annular groove. At least one component is assigned to the insert part and has an end side that is directed toward the insert part. The end side includes at least one retaining protrusion by which the component, in a latched position on the outer circumference of the cartridge housing, is latched to the cartridge housing to form a unit. Here, the at least one retaining protrusion is latched in the at least one annular groove that receives the sealing ring.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An insert part ( 1 ) comprising a water-channeling cartridge housing ( 2 ) which is insertable into a housing holder in a water line, the water-channeling cartridge housing ( 2 ) including at least one encircling annular groove ( 5 ) on an outer circumference thereof, a sealing ring ( 6 ) arranged in said annular groove ( 5 ), the sealing ring ( 6 ) having a ring cross section with a sub-region that projects radially outward beyond the annular groove ( 5 ), at least one component ( 7 ) assigned to the insert part ( 1 ), the component ( 7 ) having an end side that is directed toward the insert part ( 1 ), the end side including at least one retaining protrusion ( 8 ) by which the component ( 7 ), in a latched position on the outer circumference of the cartridge housing ( 2 ), is latched to the cartridge housing to form a unit, and the at least one retaining protrusion ( 8 ) is latched in the at least one annular groove ( 5 ) that receives the sealing ring ( 6 ).

2. The insert part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one retaining protrusion ( 8 ), on a free peripheral region thereof, bears at least one latching protrusion ( 9 ), that in the latched position, engages with a latching action in the annular groove ( 5 ) in a region between the sealing ring ( 6 ) and an adjacent flank ( 10 ) of the annular groove ( 5 ).

3. The insert part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the retaining protrusion ( 8 ) comprises an encircling annular wall which, in the latched position, encloses that portion of the cartridge housing ( 2 ) which is provided between the annular groove ( 5 ) and an end surface of the cartridge housing ( 2 ) which is directed toward the component ( 7 ).

4. The insert part as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the annular wall bears at least one latching protrusion ( 9 ) on an inner circumference thereof.

5. The insert part as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one latching protrusion ( 9 ) engages with a latching action in an encircling free space or annular space ( 11 ) which remains between the sealing ring ( 6 ), which is cross-sectionally round, and an adjacent flank ( 10 ) of the annular groove ( 5 ).

6. The insert part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one retaining protrusion ( 8 ) has a thickness which is dimensioned such that an outer side of the at least one retaining protrusion ( 8 ) remains behind a maximum outer circumference of the sealing ring ( 6 ), as seen in a radial direction.

7. The insert part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the component ( 7 ) is a filter screen.

8. The insert part as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the filter screen has a screen surface which is oriented transversely to a throughflow direction.

9. The insert part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert part ( 1 ) is configured as a backflow preventer.

10. The insert part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert part ( 1 ) is insertable via the cartridge housing ( 2 ), into the housing holder provided in a sanitary water line or into the housing holder arranged in the water line of a water-consuming appliance.
