Abstract

A sanitary fitting having a fitting housing, a mixing valve for mixing cold water and hot water to produce mixed water, a setting element for setting a mixed water temperature of the mixed water, the setting element being adjustable along a surface of the fitting housing, and a mixed water channel through which the mixed water can be conveyed from the mixing valve to a valve, it being possible to set a removal volume of the mixed water via said valve.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sanitary fitting comprising:
a fitting housing having a first section and a second section, the first section extending along a first longitudinal axis and the second section extending along a second longitudinal axis;
a mixing valve to mix cold water and hot water to produce mixed water;
a setting element to set a mixed water temperature of the mixed water, the setting element being adjustable along a surface of the fitting housing; and
a mixed water channel through which the mixed water is conducted from the mixing valve to a valve, a removal volume of the mixed water being settable via the valve,
wherein the valve includes a push button that is pressed along the second longitudinal axis to open and close the valve to start and stop a discharge of the mixed water out of the sanitary fitting, wherein the valve includes a rotary knob that is rotatable for setting the removal volume of the mixed water,
wherein the second section of the fitting housing includes the push button and the rotary knob, and wherein the rotary knob rotates about the second longitudinal axis of the second section of the fitting housing.

2. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is designed in the manner of an adjusting ring.

3. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is guided in at least one sliding guide.

4. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is rotatable about the first longitudinal axis of the fitting housing or an outlet of the fitting housing.

5. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is coupled to a spindle of the mixing valve.

6. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is at least partially embedded in the surface of the fitting housing.

7. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is flush with the surface of the fitting housing.

8. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the valve is disposed at a longitudinal end of the fitting housing.

9. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein a first end of the fitting housing contacts a surface upon which the fitting housing is mounted and an opposing second end of the fitting housing has an outlet through which the mixed water is discharged out of the sanitary fitting, and wherein the push-button and the rotary knob are provided at the second end of the fitting housing.

10. The sanitary fitting according to claim 9 , wherein the rotary knob at least partially surrounds the push button.

11. The sanitary fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the second longitudinal axis is angled with respect to the first longitudinal axis.

12. The sanitary fitting according to claim 10 , wherein an outer circumferential surface of the rotary knob has a same diameter as an outer circumferential surface of the second section of the fitting housing.
