Technology
[0001] The technical solution refers to equipment, tools for setting the correct position
of plumbing, sewage items for their mounting on a wall or into a wall or into the
floor. The device allows setting the pin of installation objects into a horizontal
position as well as into a perpendicular position against a wall or floor.
Present technology
[0002] When mounting the installation objects, particularly boards and leads of the mixing
faucets and concealed faucets in masonry walls it is necessary to keep their horizontal
position, since even a small angular imprecision is reflected in the final impression
of the user. Horizontal lines are shown by lining, for example tiles and therefore
the perceived inaccuracy of the angle is perceived in a very sensitive way. By improper
placing the repair is possible only by breaking the connecting mortar or plaster,
or breaking already finished tiling. When installing, plumbers or construction workers
commonly use a spirit level which they put on plumbing outlets. The connection between
the level and the installed object is only temporary, the joint has an allowance and
the level sets a position only in one diameter. This solution is completely unsatisfactory.
Partial improvement of the solution according to the utility model
DE 8206728, a device that uses a tool with one vial (Bubble Level, Spirit Level) placed on a
partition which connects pipe extensions inserted into the pin sockets of installed
object. This solution determines the position of only one diameter and in principle
has an incorrect lead of the partition on sliding tubular extensions. Known is also
a patent publication
WO 01/65913, which uses a tube sockets with telescopic partition, on which the vial is located.
This solution has three zones of creating allowance, which are a source of measurement
imprecision and i tis also able to fix the position in only one diameter. Similarly
also other devices, such as according to
US 2008/0168672,
DE 8632306 have more connecting zones, which are a source of imprecision. The same disadvantage
is shown also in solution according to the utility model
DE 8815841, which uses a movable partition adjusted in two directions. This solution is characterized
by low stiffness and complicated operation which worsens the final result of installation.
Known is also a solution according to
WO 94/16174 which uses extensions slidably held in the partition. This solution is complicated,
has many allowance resources and low stiffness and does not allow to set the exact
distance from the wall in a case, that there is a groove, a rift or roughness in diameter
of the partition. This device does not prevent incorrect space setting of the extensions
of installation objects.
[0003] Desirable is is easy to use device which can measure and determine the position in
both diameters and is resistant to rough and unaware treatment on the site. Equipment
should have in addition to measuring function also a reliable function of dragging
and setting the correct position which none of the until now known solutions provide.
Summary of the invention
[0004] The deficiencies mentioned above are to a large extent eliminated by a device for
adjusting the position of plumbing objects at installation, especially when mounted
into the wall including two connecting elements for the connection with outlets of
the plumbing objects and a vial (Bubble Level, Spirit Level) according to this invention,
which essence lies in the fact that it contains a flat body with two oblong hubs with
a fixed spacing where the axis of the hubs are mutually paralel and in hub axes rotary
placed threaded connecting elements. The connecting elements have a stop position
of the connection in one diameter that is perpendicular to the axis of the hubs. Flat
body provides for the device a high rigidity and stability of the hub axis parallelism.
Parallelity of axes is thus not dependent on the geometry setup of the device at operating.
Fixed spacing defines exactly in which axis distance it is possible to mount the pins
onto device, it is not possible to change this spacing on the device. This eliminates
the possibility that the worker sets the spacing for nonexistent size of a faucet
and later, after solidification of the pins in the wall it will not be able to mount
on any ordinary faucets. Flat body has at least two one-diameter vials or at least
one two-diameter vial (spherical level). One-diameter vials usually have the shape
of a transparent tube with a bubble, a bubble which moves when the inclination varies
substantially linearly along the top of the tube. Two-diameter vial mainly takes the
form of molded container with a transparent top cover where the bubble moves in two
directions.
[0005] Vials are firmly attached directly to a flat body with hubs so as to eliminate the
possibility of the emergence of allowances and inaccuracies between the pins and measuring
vials. If one-diameter vials are used, they are placed in each transverse diameter
of the surface of the body and preferably one-diameter vials are mutually placed in
a rectangular position. One is parallel and onother one is perpendicular to the axis
of the hub. Each vial is placed in a paralel diameter or a diameter identical to the
diameter in which both axis of the hubs are placed. Flat body may or may not include
a shaped bed to locate the vials.
[0006] The device allows us to fix the desired pin spacing, ensure mutual parallelism of
axes pin and also determine the exact horizontal position of the axis pin. Connecting
the pin to the device can achieve also alignment of outher face, external pin placing
into one vertical diameter which was also not secured by the previously known devices.
If the external pin settings, thus the thread exits of these pins, are not in one
diameter we still can have the separate axis of each pin mutually horizontal and located
in a horizontal diameter but the mounted object is not possible to be fitted properly
since subsequently distant thread inserts of different lengths for left and right
pin must be used.
[0007] In a preferred arrangement of the connecting element with thread created at the first
end of the shaft, which runs through the whole hub and the other end of the shaft
comes out of the opposite side of the hub and is provided with a handle for shaft
rotating. In principle is also possible such arrangement of the shaft which has a
handle in the form of a knurled wheel on the first shaft end close to the connecting
element. In terms of easy operation it is also advantageous if the flat body has two
cylindrical stops to press to the end face of the pins, one cylinder stop on the axis
of each hub. Doing so, a shaft with connecting element passes through the inside of
a cylindrical stop. In this case, the shaft with connecting element with a thread
placed in a hub not only rotary but also with the possibility of axial displacement.
Then the end faces of both cylindrical stops in one diameter that is perpendicular
to the axis of the hub and these end faces of cylinder stops designate the diameter
of the end faces of the pins.
[0008] In this arrangement, the threads of connecting elements can be inserted in the layout
inside the cylindrical stops and retracts into the working position at screwing the
threads into the pins. Also, to facilitate handling of the equipment, there may be
on the shaft from the side of the handle attached a spring which will clutch the threaded
connecting element towards the cylinder stop inside. By a light pressure on the handle,
the connecting element ejects from inside the cylinder stop, although in a non-functional
position the connecting element does not hinder. Using the slide shaft and cylinder
stop allows to connect the pins gradually, we do not need to screw left and right
connecting element at the same time while flatness of the front faces of the both
pins is guaranteed.
[0009] A worker with one hand holds the flat body, for example he holds the hub in his left
hand, with his right hand pushes the right handle and at the same time rotates it
so that the thread of the connecting element is screwed into the inside of the pin.
When fully retracted, the end face of the cylinder stop is pressed against the pin
stop. The end face of the pin is precisely worked and is perpendicular to the axis
of the pin. Now is the right hub in alignment with the right pin and the end face
of the right pin is in the diameter of the end face of the right stop. Subsequently,
the worker places the left pin to the left connecting element, by this he may adequately
adjust or even lightly bend the wiring leading to the pins. At the same time he adjusts
with his left hand the position of the left pin and with his right hand pushes and
rotates the left handle, while keeping the whole tool through the handle. Pulling
the left connecting element ensures not only the left alignment of the left hub with
the left pin but also the exact position of the left pin end face is reached. The
end face of the left pin is in a diameter with the end face of the left stop and thus
is in a diameter with the end face of the right pin.
[0010] With two one-diameter vials or one two-diameter vial the worker sets the exact horizontal
position of the pin axis. The worker keeps the device and with the joint mortar or
a gauging plaster mortars the installed pins. During this mortaring and also after
finishing, the worker checks the position on both vials. He keeps the device mounted
on the pins until sufficient stiffness of the joint mortar or plaster. Then the device
can be disconnected from the pins and used to install another object.
[0011] Here it is shown that the worker himself can with his both hands apply and the device,
according to this invention, without the need to set a number of mutually moving elements.
In the device, by a tight bond and spacial relationships are defined all the significant
positions of the pins - parallelism of pin axis, pin spacing and location of the end
face of pins in one diameter perpendicular to the diameter of the hub axis. Worker
adjusts only the overall position and tilt of the device according to the vial.
[0012] Flat body will contain mainly two versions of the hub axis spacing and that is 100
mm and 150 mm. These pitches can be pre-set by dimensions of the aluminum alloy extruded
profile which will be used for device production. Extruded profile has a high accuracy
and parallelism of edges.
[0013] To improve the functionality the flat body may contain two arms with adjustable stops
to set the distance between the flat body and the wall into which the pins are placed.
These arms may be rotary or tilting with the axis of rotation which is parallel to
the axes of the hubs. The axes of rotation or tilting may be identical to the axes
of hubs. In this case it is appropriate if the arm is set between the flat body and
cylinder stop. Position of arm rotation is ensured by locking element, for example
in the form of locking screws. Adjustable stop may have a thread rod that can be pulled
into the required position by rotating.
[0014] The worker swings out the arms into working position, the swinging arm angle can
be chosen so that the adjustable stop leans on a flat and solid element on the wall.
It excludes such a position of arms where would the adjustable stops lean on joints
between the bricks or other masonry blocks or where would the adjustable stops enetr
the carved grooves such as into the grooves with pipes leading to the pins. Range
of adjustable stops should allow to create different distances from the end face of
the pins into diameter of the wall and at the same time should have a spare space
for possible use of auxiliary lath. Auxiliary lath, for example in the form of ordinary
aluminum spirit level or in the form of building aluminum spirit level will be placed
from above on the cylindrical stops, leaning against the wall and the adjustable stops
will be leant on this auxiliary lath. This will limit the impact of undulation and
flexure of the wall which may occur when using a point spacing determination through
the ends of the adjustable stops.
[0015] The device allows to fitt the pins accurately for later connection of faucets of
different spacing according to hub axis spacing. To increase the utility value of
the equipment, it can be equipped by a removable plate adapter for undercoat mixing
faucets which do not contain traditional pins of hot and cold water outwards from
the wall. They can be for example mixing faucets of shower corners where one installation
part in the form of a box is placed under the coat and above the coat sticks out the
second, controling part.
[0016] Plate adapter has two tapped holes for connection with the connecting elements. The
holes are spaced with spacing identical to the hub axis. Plate adapter also has a
set of holes for connecting the concealed box of mixing faucet. These holes in the
adapter plate are placed according to projections on the front face of the particular
concealed box and it is preferred if one plate adapter includes several groups of
holes for more different concealed boxes. The transparency among several holes in
plate adapter can be improved the way that the holes in one group of holes suitable
for one type of concealed box are marked in one color. This color assignment to a
particular type of concealed box can be marked in the legend placed directly on the
plate adapter.
[0017] If installing concealed faucet without direct pins to the interior, first a plate
adapter must be screwed on the concealed box so that the grooves, projections of the
installed object fit into the holes in the plate adapter. Subsequently, a device with
vials is placed on the plate adapter. Other equipment use is similar to the previous
description.
[0018] Flat body may have a foothold, as for example in a form of a hole, through which
the entire device can be backed up or hung up. Then to the device belongs also a supportive
tool to lay or hang the flat body in the desired height of mounted pins. In a set
position, the worker may hang the device on a charged hook or other sufficiently strong
point above the pin level for example by using a brake drum or a butterfly buckle.
The end of rope or a wire to connect to the supporting point may have an adjustable
screw, which can fine-tune the exact altitude without having to release the main element
of the rope or a wire length adjustment. In another version, the supportive element
may have a form of a rod, a leg, preferably in a telescopic design with fast- securing
elements such as for a tripod or the like.
[0019] The device may be equipped by a small light that illuminates both vials. The light
switches on a time switch, the light shines for the set time which is typical of one
working stroke with the device. For this purpose, the base carrying two vials may
be made of light conductive plastic to which a light is connected, preferably in the
LED form. The device can also be provided with a bmeasuring tool to measure the distance
between the connecting element axis and the floor. Display with the measured distance
will be in a common viewing angle, in which the worker sees also the vials so he is
able to observe, without turning his head, all the measuring elements at the sime
time.
[0020] In order to simplify the construction of the device as much as possible, this device
may have a form when the flat body has a shape of U-shaped arm where the arms creare
the hubs.The first vial can be placed on an arm near the connecting element, the second
vial can be placed on a partition which connects the arms. The arm will be made as
a solid unit. In this simplified construction, the connecting elements will have a
form of a passed- through-nut with internal thread, which is adapted to be screwed
securely to the pins of installed object either directly or through a threaded screws.
Threaded screws are first separately and securely screwed into the pin holes and then
on projecting external threads of the threaded screws are fastened the connecting
elements in the form of union nut with internal thread. The flat body is by this firmly
fixed with the pins.
[0021] The described device can adjust the horizontal position of the pins of installed
object and at the same time also perpendicular position of this object against the
wall. The device has a sufficient stiffness. The position can be changed directly
by moving the grasped flat body or the handles.
[0022] Plumbing kit can be fitted with two separate devices according to this solution,
where one is designed for a 100 mm pitch, second pitch is of 150 mm. The installation
kit can contain several plate adapters with printed colored descriptio, aluminum lath
to use the adjustable stops on uneven walls, threaded screws and reductions of different
threads, for example with ½ "and ¾" thread thread, a thin polypropylene rope with
a clamping clip and double-threaded tretcher with a hook and operating instructions
manual. The kit can alsoinclude a measuring tool to measure the height from the floor
to the pins.
[0023] The object of protection is the plate adapter itself to be connected to the device
as described above.
[0024] The described device is characterized by simplicity, high stiffness and is resistant
to rough handling on a bulding site. It is easy to use and reached can be very accurate
results of installation and does not require special skills.

Realization Examples
Example 1
[0026] The device in this example according to images 1 to 11 has a flat body
1 of aluminum alloy. Flat body
1 as shown in Figure 8 is made of extruded profiles, where at the same time holes of
the hubs
3 are formed. After material dividing, the semifinished product processed and assembled
with other parts. In this example is inside the both hubs
3 a shaft
8 which is rotary and slidingly placed. At one end it has firmly attached a short cylinder
with an external thread
14. In this example has the thread
14 size of ½ ". The shaft
8 is stored in plastic storage. On the other side of the
hub 3 has the shaft 8 fixed a handle
12 . Between the shoulder inside the
hub 3 and the handle
12 is placed a pressure spring
17 which pushes the handle
12 and by that also the shaft
8 with the threaded 14.
[0027] On the first side of the hub
3 is in the internal thread
14 in the
hub 3 screwed a cylinder stop
6. Inside is now a cylinder with an external thread
14 . Cylinder stop
6 has preciselly processed external front face which is designed to reach to the end
face of the pin or to the surface of the plate adapter
7. Within the cylinder stop 6, is in this example formed a rotary lead for arm
9 . The wiring has again plastic storage in small sliding cases which defines also
the axial allowance. Arms
9 are mounted on a cylinder stops
6 before screwing them into the hub
3 . The arms
9 have a fulcrum
11, in this example in the form of screws with a plastic head. At the end of the arms
9 is an adjustable stop
10, here in the form of a threaded rod with a control and touch ball.
[0028] On the flat body
1 is fitted a base with two one-diameter vials
4, 5. Vials
4, 5 are perpendicular to each other where the first vial
4 is parallel to the axis of the hubs and the second vial
5 is perpendicular to the axis of the hubs
3 . The base of the vials
4, 5 is in the diameter parallel to the diameter in which the axis of both vials
4, 5 are located.
[0029] Plumbing tool set in this example contains two devices, one with a pitch of the
hub 3 in the size of 100 mm and the second of 150 mm. This we will cover almost all installation
sizes of faucets. A worker can choose from the set a tool with the appropriate pitch
of the hubs
3, tilts and locks the arms
9. Sets on both adjustable stops
10 the same depth of the recess in the wall pins. Then he gradually connects both pins
with the device so that through the handle
12 and threads
14 pulls faces of the pins to the cylindrical stops
6 . Into the wall, above the point of installation of the pins he fits a nailed hook
on which he hangs a small cable terminated with a small adjustable strecher with a
hook which is inserted into the fulcrum
13. A worker adjusts the position of the pin so that both vials
4, 5 show equilibrium and atthe same time both adjustable stops
10 lean on the wall. Then, with his second hand, the worker fastens the hanging wire
and plasters the pins. He checks both vials
4, 5 and adjustable stops
10 and leaves the device mounted on the pins until sufficient stiffness. In the meanwhile
he may prepare any other installations or use other tools included in plumbing set.
After fastening he releases with the handles
12 the connections of the connecting elements
2 from the pins and disconnects the device from the suspension wire.
[0030] Shaft
8 is a short cylinder on which is a thread
14 connected in a non-dismountable way, in this example by welding in the cylinder hole
or gluing or pressing. At the other end of the shaft
8 is a connection to the handle
12 formed as a dismountable via nut and washer and with the help of the external thread
on the end of the shaft
8 . Nut is tightened by a socket as to avoid the creation of allowance since the face
of the handle
12 is fastened to the flat body
1. Such dismountable arrangement to eject the shaft
8 from the hub
3 during the maintenance and cleaning of the tool. In the case of eventual fall of
the tool into a mortar or water, the
hub 3 can be cleaned and lubricated.
[0031] Plumbing tool set also includes plate adapters
7 as shown in Figures 10 and 11. In this example, the first has seven groups of holes
16 for projections of concealed boxes. The second has, in this example, six groups of
holes
16 for projections of concealed boxes. Both plate adapters
7 has also two holes
15 with threads for connection with the connecting elements
2 of the device.
[0032] The worker first places the plate
adapter 7 on the concealed box of the mixing faucet. The legend printed on the plate
adapter 7 which differs in color the individual groups of holes will help. The worker the plate
adapter
7 fixes, connects with the concealed box and subsequently, to the plate
adapter 7 attaches a device, in this example with the pitch of hubs
3 of 150 mm. Furthermore, the work with the device is the same as for direct connection
to the pins.
[0033] In this example is the device provided with a small LED light that illuminates both
vials
4, 5. The light switches on a time switch, the light illuminates for the set time, which
is usual for one cycle of working with the device.
[0034] Described device is characterized by simplicity, high stiffness and is resistant
to rough handling on a building site. Its use is comfortable where also very precise
results of installation are reached.
Example 2
[0035] Device for adjusting the position of plumbing objects during installation, according
to this example, is shown in Figures 12 and 13. The device consists of a flat body
1 of a steel tube that is bent into the shape of the letter U. At the ends of the tube
is a shoulder and coupling nuts with ¾ " inner thread
14. This shoulder and a coupling nuts form connecting elements
2. Close to the connecting elements
2 is by a hard solder mounted a partition of also tubular section. On the arm of the
flat body
1 and on the partition is milled a hole
16 into which calibrated vials
4, 5 are inserted. The device in this example is a part of a set which includes two flat
bodies
1 with the pitch of 100mm and 150 mm, several threaded nipples and also other elements.
[0036] The kit also includes a plate
adapter 7 to connect concealed mixing faucets. The
adapter 7 is made of rectangular aluminum plate. On one side of the plate are milled several
holes
16 and shoulders which correspond to projections of different concealed boxes for faucets
of several manufacturers. Into the plate are also drilled holes
16 through which the
adapter 7 is attached with the screws to the box body of the mixing faucet. On the opposite
side of the plate
adapter 7 has the flat plate two positional projections with the pitch of 100 mm or 150 mm.
The projections in this example have ¾ " external thread. On the top part of the plate
is an adjustable stop
10, in this example it has a form of excenter. The set also includes four threaded nippls
which have ½ "and ¾" external thread
14. Threaded screws have internal hexagon for screwing with 6HR keys.
[0037] Operating the device is similar to example
1, the device represents a simpler design version of the device according to example
1. After setting the height of installation according to the project, the worker sets
up the horizontal position of the installed object pins and also its position perpendicular
against the wall. Using plaster or mortar connecting plasters the installed object
into the carved hole. In doing so continuously checks the position of both vials
4, 5. Position correction can be carried out until the beginning of solidification of
connecting mortar or plaster.
[0038] When using the plate adapter
7, set is a distance between the two positions of the shoulder in the way so after the
plastering and tiling only a mounting part of the concealed faucet in a defined position
of max-min will project from the wall. This location according to Figure 13 is designed
for final assembling of concealed faucet.
Industrial Usability
[0039] Industrial usability is obvious. According to the present invention, i tis possible
to repeatedly produce or use a device for adjusting the position of pins of plumbing
components in the installation in to the wall, especially when installing plumbing
and sewage objects in concealed manner.
