Patent number: 11486118Abstract: 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° 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: GEBERIT INTERNATIONAL AGInventors: Felix Imo Preisig, Marco Oberholzer, Michael Schintler

Patent number: 11441300Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: GEBERIT INTERNATIONAL AGInventors: Felix Imo Preisig, Marco Oberholzer, Michael Schintler

Publication number: 20140145578Abstract: A slider (1) serves for the movable mounting of a sliding element (2) along a longitudinal direction in a stationary support structure (3) of a sanitary module (21). The slider (1) comprises a guide support (4), which is connectable to the support structure (3), and an assembly support (5), which is connected to the guide support (4) such that it is alignable in relation to the guide support (4), the assembly support (5) being connectable to the sliding element (2). The guide support (4) further comprises a first vertical linear guide (6), a second vertical linear guide (7) and a horizontal linear guide (8), via which linear guides the slider (1) is fastenable on the support structure (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2013Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: Geberit International AGInventors: Alessandro TRECCO, Michael SCHINTLER

Patent number: 7984521Abstract: The device has a housing (5) which can be fastened on the sanitary article (2) and in which is mounted a pushbutton (7) for actuating the drainage valve (A). A pulling element (16) connects the pushbutton (7) to a closure body (33) which is mounted in a displaceable manner in a housing (22) of the drainage valve (A). A changeover device (26) is mounted on the housing (22) of the drainage valve (A) and can be changed over under tension in each case for opening and closing the drainage valve (A). By virtue of the changeover device (26) being arranged on the housing (22) of the drainage valve (A), the actuating part which contains the pushbutton (7) can be designed in a more space-saving and compact manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Michael Schintler, Martin Rüdisser

Publication number: 20040181861Abstract: An odor trap has a basin-shaped housing and a collecting basin, which forms an inlet. Inserted into the housing is a siphon which prevents the passage of gas from an outlet to the inlet. A deodorizing insert is located on a screen below the inlet in an essentially dry area. Air ascending out of the siphon flows over the deodorizing insert and is thereby deodorized. The deodorizing insert is located under a cover and can be replaced along with the siphon.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2004Publication date: September 23, 2004Applicant: GEBERIT TECHNIK AGInventors: Urs Inglin, Michael Schintler
