Abstract

A sanitary fixture having a connector assembly which includes an adapter piece is provided for connection to a single-lever mixing cartridge. A pivotable connector piece having a hose connector is pivotably mounted between the base plate and the adapter piece. The base plate includes receptacles for a cold-water hose end piece and a warm-water end piece. The connector piece has an inner duct which, at a first end, opens out to the connector assembly and, at a second end, opens out to the hose connector. The connector piece is connected via a plug-in connection to a connector-piece receptacle of the adapter piece. The connector-piece receptacle opens out into a connection duct of a first type, which extends in the adapter piece crosswise to a connection duct of a second type in the adapter piece.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sanitary fixture ( 8 ) comprising:
a base plate ( 9 ) which has a first receptacle ( 10 ) for a cold-water hose end piece ( 11 );
a second receptacle ( 12 ) for a warm-water hose end piece ( 13 );
a connector assembly ( 14 ) configured for connecting a single-lever mixing cartridge ( 15 ), the connector assembly including an adapter piece ( 24 ) connected to the base plate ( 9 );
a hose connector ( 20 );
a connector piece ( 16 ) pivotably fastened on the base plate ( 9 ), the connector piece ( 16 ) has an inner duct ( 17 ) which, at a first end ( 18 ), opens out to the connector assembly ( 14 ) and, at a second end ( 19 ), opens out to the hose connector ( 20 ), the connector piece ( 16 ), in a connector region ( 31 ) including the first end ( 18 ) of the inner duct ( 17 ), is connected via a plug-in connection to a connector-piece receptacle ( 32 ) of the adapter piece ( 24 ); and
the connector-piece receptacle ( 32 ) of the connector assembly ( 14 ) opens out into a first connection duct ( 37 ), which extends in the adapter piece ( 24 ) crosswise to a second connection duct in the adapter piece ( 24 ).

2. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner duct ( 17 ) is routed at an angle between the first end ( 18 ) and the second end ( 19 ).

3. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plug ( 21 ) which is at least one of slotted or provided with a latching cam ( 22 ) and which, together with a matching plug receptacle ( 23 ) of the base plate ( 9 ), forms a pivot bearing is provided on the connector piece ( 16 ).

4. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adapter piece ( 24 ) has a first side ( 25 ) with a base-plate receptacle ( 26 ) for the base plate ( 9 ) and, on a second side ( 27 ), a connection for the single-lever mixing cartridge.

5. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the connector-piece receptacle ( 32 ) is configured as a pivot bearing for the connector piece ( 16 ) and the plug ( 21 ) and the connector region ( 31 ) of the connector piece ( 16 ) are aligned coaxially in relation to one another.

6. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in each case one hose receptacle ( 33 , 34 ) for connecting the cold-water hose end piece ( 11 ) and the warm-water hose end piece ( 13 ) is configured in the adapter piece ( 24 ).

7. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a securing plate ( 35 ) which is insertable in a transverse manner to an insertion direction of the cold-water hose end piece ( 11 ) and of the warm-water hose end piece ( 13 ) is arranged on the base plate ( 9 ).

8. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the securing plate ( 35 ) is made of metal.

9. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 6 , wherein two of the second connection ducts are provided, the hose receptacles ( 33 , 34 ) are in each case assigned a respective one of the second connection ducts ( 38 ) which opens out to the connector assembly.

10. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the hose connector ( 20 ) is configured as a hose nipple, and at least one of the hose receptacles ( 33 , 34 ) or the connector-piece receptacle ( 32 ) have in each case one seal ring ( 52 ).

11. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a wedge-shaped clearance ( 40 ) which delimits an available pivot angle for the connector piece ( 16 ) is configured on at least one of the base plate ( 9 ) or the adapter piece ( 24 ).

12. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) of claim 1 , wherein a non-circular anti-rotation device ( 41 ) is configured on the base plate ( 9 ).

13. The sanitary fixture ( 8 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the base plate ( 9 ) or the adapter piece ( 24 ) are made of plastic.

14. An inner-hose arrangement ( 44 ) for a sanitary fitting ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a flexible connection hose ( 39 ) connected to the hose connector ( 20 ).

15. The inner-hose arrangement ( 44 ) as claimed in claim 14 , wherein an outlet mouthpiece ( 5 ) is connected to an end of the connection hose ( 39 ) that faces away from the hose connector ( 33 , 34 ).

16. The inner-hose arrangement ( 44 ) as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a maximum outer dimension of the outlet mouthpiece ( 5 ) is adapted to a maximum outer dimension of the connector piece ( 16 ).

17. The inner-hose arrangement ( 44 ) as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the connection hose ( 39 ) has at least one axial portion ( 47 ) which is at least one of variable in length or kinkable.
