A drain arrangement that comprises a housing which has a first channel section with an inlet opening, a second channel section with an outlet opening, and a valve seat situated between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. It also has a valve body which is movable from the valve seat, an actuating unit to move the valve body, and an outflow pipe into which the second channel section opens. A first central axis extends centrally through the first channel section, and an outflow pipe central axis extends centrally through the outflow pipe. The outflow pipe central axis intersects the first central axis or alternatively the outflow pipe central axis is at a distance from the first central axis. The actuating unit has an actuating lever acting on the valve body, and an actuator element for actuating the actuating lever, wherein the actuator element extends laterally alongside the outflow pipe.

Drain arrangement

A drain arrangement that comprises a drain valve housing which has a first channel section with an inlet opening, a second channel section with an outlet opening, and a valve seat situated between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. There also is a valve body, an actuating unit by way of which the valve body is movable, and an outflow pipe into which the second channel section opens by way of the outlet opening thereof. A first central axis extends centrally through the first channel section, and an outflow pipe central axis extends centrally through the outflow pipe. The outflow pipe central axis intersects the first central axis, and the drain arrangement furthermore comprises an overflow unit, which has a first connecting pipe, an overflow pipe and a second connecting pipe.

A wash stand comprising a wash basin having a drain opening which opens into a drain chamber. In the drain opening there is a cover which extends over part of the drain opening such that, at least in a lower region of the drain opening, a gap is created through which water can flow out of the wash basin into the drain chamber. In the drain chamber there is at least one mounting point on which the cover is supported removably by the at least one mounting point. The cover in the at least one mounting point is mounted pivotably about at least one pivot axis such that the cover can be pivoted from a use position into an intermediate position in which the cover can easily be grasped by a user. From its intermediate position, the cover can be removed from the mounting point out of the drain opening.

Wash stand

A drain arrangement for a washstand, comprising a connection unit having a connecting branch for connection to a drain branch of a washstand, an overflow unit connecting to the connection unit and having a valve and an overflow pipe, which bridges the valve, and a siphon unit connecting to the overflow unit and having a siphon element. The connecting branch, seen in the installation position, runs in a first direction, which is oriented at an angle inclined at less than 30&#xb0; tilting downwards to a mounting plane running in the vertical of the washstand. The overflow unit lies offset to the side of the connecting branch in such a manner that the overflow pipe extends upwards to the side adjacent to the connecting branch and the siphon unit lies beneath the overflow unit.

Drain arrangement for a washstand

A drain assembly for connection to a sanitary-appliance, comprising: a drain pipe having a pipe inlet and a pipe outlet and a valve arranged in a valve section of the drain pipe having a sealing face and a valve body, wherein the valve body can be moved away from the sealing face from a closed to an open position by an actuating element. Also included is an overflow pipe, which extends away from the drain tube from a first branch lying upstream of the valve seen in the direction of flow of the water to a second branch lying downstream of the valve seen in the direction of flow and thereby bridges the valve. The valve body is at least partially mounted on an insert element; the drain pipe has an insert receptacle; and the insert element can be inserted into the insert receptacle on the drain pipe.

Drain assembly

The invention relates to a siphon arrangement () comprising a housing () with an inlet connection piece (), an outlet connection piece (), and a siphon seat () arranged between the inlet connection piece () and outlet connection piece (), and a siphon element () arranged in the siphon seat (), said siphon element having a siphon portion () and an inlet () facing towards the inlet connection piece () and an outlet () leading to the outlet connection piece (). Water can be guided from the inlet connection piece () via the inlet () into the siphon portion () and from the outlet () to the outlet connection piece (). The siphon element () is movable, in particular pivotable, in the housing () from a use position into a maintenance position, and when in the maintenance position can be removed, in particular pulled out, from the housing.

Siphon

A wash stand assembly that comprises a wash stand having a wash basin and a drain opening through which water to be drained out of the wash basin can be conducted away, the drain opening leading into an inner chamber. The wash stand () has a rear wall () with which the wash stand () comes into contact with a connection structure on the building side when in the installed position. The inner chamber () is open in the region of a rear wall () of the wash stand (). An insert element () has a drain connection piece () for connection to a wastewater pipe on the building side, wherein the insert element () is connected to the wash stand () such that the inner chamber () is sealed watertight and the water can be fed from the drain opening () to the drain connection piece ().

The device has a line arrangement (), which possesses an inlet () connectable to a supply line and an outlet () connectable to a shower arm (). A heating element () serves for the provision of warm water. An energy store () is provided, with which the power range for the provision of shower water can be extended. The heating element () for the provision of warm water is, in particular, a continuous-flow heater. The energy store () is, in particular, a thermal, electrical, electrochemical or chemical energy store. During the shower process, the energy store is available as an additional energy source for the preparation of shower water.
