Description

Water dispenser, pressureless, manually operated, integrated into the pressure water pipe valves.

Description

There are currently water dispensers or water dispensing devices, but due to their integration into the pressurized water pipe valves through complex mechanics and electronics, they are too expensive, too complicated and vulnerable to operation.

Therefore, there is still no way, especially in households, to use the pressurized, flowing water from the tap water network in a simple and inexpensive way in a way that is as economical as a donation.

Often, for example in the bathroom, only such quantities of water can be taken from the water supply network through the existing water valve for daily personal hygiene that can just fit into a pair of heaped hands. However, nobody opens and closes the existing water valve after each of these small quantities of water is used because it is simply not physically possible, and so the multiple quantities of water flow unused into the sewer system, causing the waste of our vital water and an unnecessary increase in fresh and waste water costs for the consumer.

During a single morning toilet, one can very quickly use up 10 to 20 liters of water when using running water from the existing water tap, although the useful part of this amount of water, brought to the body in heaped hands one after the other, is usually only 1 to 2 liters of water, that is, at least 10 times less.

The pressureless, manually operated water dispenser (2) shown here, integrated at the factory into the water pipe valves (1) commonly used today as shown in Figure 1, is simple in construction, cost-effective and reliable to operate without impairing the pressure-operated function of the water valve (1).

This means you always have the choice of using water either in the pressure-operated function as usual or sparingly from the integrated water dispenser (2).

*■·

The water dispenser is integrated inside the neck of the water valve (I) according to Figure 1 with its plug seat (3a) in the recess under the valve neck so that it is aligned vertically downwards with its manually operated tappet pin (2).

The conical plug (3) sealing in the seat (3a) at the upper end of the tappet pin (2) carries in its bearing elevation a not too firm compression spring (4), which is centrally supported at the top in the screw cap (5) protruding from the valve neck.

This compression spring (4) serves to push the plunger pin (2) back into the plug seat (3a) with its rubber plug (3) after it has been released, thereby ensuring the vertical guidance of the plunger pin (2) under the lateral pressure of the water to be dispensed and also for securely sealing the plug (3) in its seat (3a).

The integrated water dispenser (2) is connected via the hose or pipe (11 or 12) to the pressureless water storage tank (14) or a standard toilet cistern, which must be arranged above the water valve (1) to enable the water to be dispensed to flow freely to the integrated water dispenser.

The integrated water dispenser can be connected in two ways: either through the additional factory-fitted dispenser water channel (7), which is integrated separately from the valve mechanism (9) in the wall of the valve (1) up to the pressure-free zone of the valve neck and ends with the dispenser tap (6) (connection line (12), connection (8). This connection to the storage tank is preferable for new installation with connection lines concealed in the wall.

The other way of connecting is through the inlet threaded connector (10) located in the pressure-free space of the valve neck, which is closed with a screw sleeve (b) and a blind seal (d) when not in use, i.e. with connection type (8). However, if the water dispenser is subsequently connected to the storage tank with an open hose line (11), this hose line (11) is connected to this screw sleeve (b) by replacing the blind seal (d) in the screw sleeve with a hole seal (d) firmly seated in the hose and closing the dispenser tap (6) permanently. With this connection, the dispenser tap (16) is provided in the hose line (11) just before the inlet connector (10).

• « ♦ ·

The outlet opening of the water valve (1) has a loose sealing cover (15) which, during dispensing operation, is pressed onto the outlet opening (15a) with its sealing edge that matches the sieve ring (15a) and closes it. The seating force of this sealing cover only has to withstand the slight pressure of the dispensing water itself, but during pressure operation, if it is not removed, it must easily jump off the outlet opening.

Working principle

For the usual pressure-operated function of the water valve, the dispenser tap (6) for connection type (8) or the dispenser tap (16) for connection type (10) is closed, the sealing cover (15) is removed from the outlet opening (15a) and the lever (13) of the valve (1) is opened.

For pressureless dispensing operation, the sealing cover (15), which is advantageously attached to a suitable place with a chain, is pressed onto the outlet opening (15a) and the dispenser tap (6) for connection type (8) or the dispenser tap (16) for connection type (10) is opened.

The integrated water dispenser (2) is now ready for use when the water reservoir (14) is full and can be operated manually to dispense water by pushing in and releasing the tappet pin (2).

To fill the storage tank (14), which does not have a water feed float valve, with new water, the sealing cover (15) is pressed onto the outlet opening (15a), the dispenser tap (6) for connection type (8) or the dispenser tap (16) for connection type (10) is opened and the pressure valve (1) is slightly opened using the lever (13). The storage tank has a viewing window through which the water level can be observed.

When using a water storage tank equipped with a feed float valve or a standard toilet cistern, both connected to the water supply network, refilling is not necessary.

In addition to the main benefit of saving water, this integrated water dispenser also has the following advantages:

- it considerably extends the service life of the valuable and expensive to replace pressure water valve (1), because the operations for the pressure water valve (1) carried out with the water dispenser (2) are no longer necessary.

- by storing the water in the storage tank (14), the cold water in the storage tank reaches the room temperature, e.g. in the bathroom, relatively quickly, so that the water still reaches a pleasant temperature for the body, especially in winter, especially if the storage tank is filled at night without having to wait for this pleasant temperature to flow from the long hot water pipe through the existing water valve.

Claims (4)

1. Water dispenser, pressureless, manually operated, integrated into the pressure water pipe valves, characterized in that the water dispenser ( 2 ), factory-integrated into the neck of the water pipe valve ( 1 ) customary today and connected by a hose or pipe ( 11 or 12 ) to the pressureless water reservoir ( 14 ) or commercially available toilet cistern, which must be arranged above the valve ( 1 ) with integrated water dispenser, makes it possible to withdraw the water from the water pipe valve ( 1 ) through the integrated water dispenser ( 2 ) in a dispensing manner and economically, without impairing the pressure-operated function of the water pipe valve ( 1 ). 2.
