A sanitary device comprises a bathtub arranged on feet, a bathtub encasement, a set of fittings for the water inlet, the water overflow and the water drain, a handheld shower head held on the ledge of the bathtub, and a mixing fitting for cold and hot water. The mixing fitting has connections on the inlet side for cold and hot water. Connections of the fitting on the outlet side are connected with the water inlet for the set of fittings and the handheld shower head. The mixing fitting is arranged within the space enclosed by the tub encasement. The mixing fitting has electrically actuated adjusting devices with an associated electronic control that can be controlled by means of an input/output device arranged on the ledge of the tub.

Sanitary device

A device is provided for controlling the feed of mixed cold and hot water and the temperature of the mixed water in a sanitary installation, in particular for controlling the filling of a sanitary tub. The device comprises a mixing valve located in the water feed line, and an electronic controlling device associated with the mixing valve. The electronic controlling device comprises interfaces for connecting at least one data input and output device, a temperature sensor and a system for detecting the filling level in the tub. The mixing valve comprises a valve block containing separate inlets for cold and hot water, and a channel for mixed water with a mixed-water outlet, and valve chambers for rotary valves with rotating valve bodies. Two rotary valve drives connected to the controlling device are secured on the outer side of the valve block. The mixing ratio of the incoming flow of cold and hot water, as well as the total volume of the flow of water can be controlled by the setting movement of the rotary valves controlled by the electronic controlling device. In addition, at least one shutoff valve that can be actuated by the controlling device is associated with the mixed-water outlet.

Device for controlling the filling of a sanitary tub

A sanitary device comprises a tub ( ) arranged on feet ( ), and a tub encasement ( ). The tub encasement ( ) takes the form of a supporting construction having a structure made up of panels. At least the panels ( ) visible from inside a room consist of a hard integral polyurethane foam material and have a decorative coating.

A device for producing a flow of fluid such as water or air in a whirlpool tub, having a rotatable impeller, which aspirates water from the space of the tub via intake openings, and ejects a jet of water or a jet of water and air into the space of the tub via outlet openings. The device further has a drive means for driving the impeller via a drive shaft. The driving means is arranged on the driving axle of the impeller but behind the impeller as viewed within the tub. In addition, the device further comprises a driving means such as a hydromotor, a pneumatic drive or a mechanical drive, that are driven by at least one central power drive, and can be serviced and repaired from within the whirlpool tub.
