A spray nozzle () for a sanitary article (), in particular for a urinal, includes a nozzle head () which comprises a nozzle channel () which extends along a center axis (M) and has a nozzle inlet () and a nozzle outlet (), and a pipe section () which comprises an interior () with an inlet (), to which a water pipe () is connectable, and an outlet (). The nozzle head () is mounted in the interior (), wherein the nozzle inlet () is accessible from the interior () such that flushing water is able to enter into the nozzle channel () from the interior () and the nozzle outlet () projects out of the interior (), and wherein the nozzle head () is secured with reference to the interior () of the pipe section () by means of a securing element ().

Spray nozzle

A mounting device () for a sanitary element comprises a mounting frame () to hold the sanitary element and a lighting unit (B) connected to the mounting frame, which comprises a first optical means () having at least one light source () for providing a first glow of light () and at least one second optical means () having at least one light source () for providing a second glow of light (), wherein the said glows of light () can be output from the mounting device ().

Mounting device for a sanitary element

An odor-trap device () for in particular flushing-water-free sanitary devices, for example urinals, comprises an outflow element () with a sealing wall (), and also comprises a sealing membrane (), which is in sealing contact with the sealing wall () in a closure position and, in the presence of a liquid, such as urine, is pushed away from the sealing wall () from the closure position into an open position, as a result of which a gap () is formed between the sealing membrane () and sealing wall (), it being possible for the liquid to be led away through said gap, and further comprises a mounting element () for mounting the sealing membrane () in relation to the sealing wall (). The odor-trap device () is characterized in that the seating membrane () has a seating surface () which runs substantially parallel to the sealing wall (), wherein the sealing surface () butts against the sealing wall () substantially with surface-area contact, or wherein the sealing surface () is spaced apart from the sealing wall () such that the liquid film which is present, at least in part, between the sealing wall () and the sealing surface () provides a force of adhesion between the sealing wall () and seating surface ().

Odor trap device

A flushing device () comprises an extraction device () for extracting odours from a sanitary device such as a toilet bowl or a urinal, a cistern () for holding flushing water, a fill valve () for filling the cistern () and a flush unit () for providing flushing water, wherein the flush unit () comprises a flush valve () with an overflow pipe () and an actuator element () for operating the flush valve (). The extractor unit comprises a fan () for extracting air through an air duct (), which extends at least partially through the cistern (), and a filter element () for filtering the air, wherein the filter element () represents the end of the air duct (). The actuator element (), fan () and filter element () are mounted on a common housing (), particularly arranged in a common housing ().

Flushing device with odour extraction

An actuation device () for a discharge fitting of a flushing device that comprises a full flush lever () for initiating a full flush action, and a partial flush lever () for initiating a partial flush action. The full flush lever () can be moved from a neutral position to a full flush position, and the partial flush lever () can be moved from a neutral position into a partial flush position. The actuation device () has a motor (), with an output element () that engages the full flush lever (), or the partial flush lever (), and provide a movement of the driven lever. The flush levers () are connected via a coupling element () such that the movement of the flush lever () driven by the output element () can be transferred onto the other flush lever () uncoupled from the output element ().
