Abstract

A fitting for dispensing liquids includes an outlet with a first outlet part and a second outlet part, a first liquid outflow for delivering a first of the liquids, and a second liquid outflow for delivering a second of the liquids. The first liquid outflow is arranged in the first outlet part, and the second liquid outflow is arranged in the second outlet part. The first outlet part and the second outlet part can be set movably and releasably in relation to each other. A receiving part is arranged in the first outlet part for releasably setting the second outlet part on the first outlet part, and the first liquid outflow is arranged in the receiving part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fitting for dispensing liquids, the fitting comprising:
an outlet with a first outlet part and a second outlet part, the first outlet part and the second outlet part being movable and releasable in relation to each other;
a first liquid outflow for delivering a first of the liquids, the first liquid outflow being arranged in the first outlet part;
a second liquid outflow for delivering a second of the liquids, the second liquid outflow being arranged in the second outlet part; and
a receiving part for releasably setting the second outlet part on the first outlet part, the receiving part being arranged in the first outlet part and the first liquid outflow being arranged in the receiving part.

2. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the second outlet part is an extensible showerhead.

3. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein a horizontal distance between the first liquid outflow and the second liquid outflow is at least 75% of a horizontal distance between a base body and the first liquid outflow when the second outlet part is set in the receiving part.

4. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first liquid outflow is connected to a first line and the second liquid outflow is connected to a second line; and
the first line or the second line is made of flexible material or plastic.

5. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the second line is defined asymmetrically in the receiving part.

6. The fitting according to claim 5 , wherein the second line is defined in an upper region through the receiving part.

7. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving part is insertable into the first outlet part and is releasably settable in the first outlet part.

8. The fitting according to claim 7 , wherein the receiving part is settable on the first outlet part via of an element of the first liquid outflow.

9. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein:
the outlet includes a vertical region and a horizontal region; and
the receiving part and the second outlet part are arranged in the horizontal region of the outlet.

10. The fitting according to claim 9 , wherein the first outlet part is curved.

11. The fitting according to claim 10 , wherein:
at least part of the outlet is cylindrical; and
a bending radius of the outlet is more than twice as large as a diameter of the outlet.

12. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of the receiving part is made of plastic.

13. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet includes an outer shell.

14. The fitting according to claim 13 , wherein at least part of the first line or at least part of the second line is arranged at a distance from the outer shell in an interior of the outlet.

15. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the first line is configured to allow water at a temperature of more than 90 degrees Celsius to flow therethrough.

16. The fitting according to claim 8 , wherein the element of the first liquid outflow is a jet former or a jet control.

17. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the first outlet part is an L or a C.

18. The fitting according to claim 13 , wherein at least part of the outer shell is made of metal.

19. A liquid dispensing system comprising:
a fitting for dispensing liquids; and
a liquid treatment device,
wherein the fitting includes:
an outlet with a first outlet part and a second outlet part, the first outlet part and the second outlet part being movable and releasable in relation to each other;
a first liquid outflow for delivering a first of the liquids, the first liquid outflow being arranged in the first outlet part;
a second liquid outflow for delivering a second of the liquids, the second liquid outflow being arranged in the second outlet part; and
a receiving part for releasably setting the second outlet part on the first outlet part, the receiving part being arranged in the first outlet part and the first liquid outflow being arranged in the receiving part,
wherein:
the liquid treatment device includes at least one liquid treatment module;
the at least one liquid treatment module is a carbonization module, a heating module, a cooling module, a filter module, a concentration module, a liquid delivery quantity-setting module, a supply module, a mineralization module, or an ozonization module;
the first liquid outflow is connected to a first line; and
the at least one liquid treatment module is connected to the first line of the fitting.

20. The liquid dispensing system according to claim 19 , wherein the at least one liquid treatment module is exchangeable.
