Method of installing a bath body housed in a bath holder and a bath holder with a bath body housed therein

Technical field

The invention relates to a method for installing a bath body housed in a bath holder, in particular a bathtub or shower bath, in which the supporting frame of the bath holder is first attached to the floor and subsequently an additional part of the bath holder is mounted on the supporting frame. The invention further relates to a bath holder with a bath body, a support base and an additional part of a bath holder, wherein a drain and overflow system with a waste pipe, an overflow pipe and a siphon is formed on the bath body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Such methods are already known. On the floor, usually in the bathroom where the bathtub is to be installed, an integral bath holder, as known from EP-A1 261 521, for example, is fixed. In the inverted position, the bath holder is first coated with a layer of mounting foam on its underside and then inverted and positioned in the correct position on the floor before the mounting foam solidifies. After the assembly foam has cured, a firm connection to the floor is achieved.

Bathtub holders have already been designed, which are assembled in a complete bath holder from different parts on site. In this regard, reference is made, for example, to DE-PS 38 38 753, EP-A1 15 463 and DE-A1 196 48 361. However, the handling of such bath holders is not always satisfactory. Inevitably turning the bath holder to apply the adhesive in the manner described may result in shape disruption or even disintegration.

In addition, bath bodies having low dimensional stability are increasingly being used. This applies in particular to acrylic bath bodies. Costly measures have already been taken to ensure that even such bath bodies are properly supported and supported in the bath holder. However, this support can only be carried out or adjusted when the bathtub is installed on site. It has also been proposed that the tub body be completely surrounded by polyurethane foam. In this case, however, considerable problems arise during production and transport.

Starting from the described state of the art, the object of the invention is to find a method of installing a bath holder, which rationally achieves a good support of the bath body. In addition, a suitable bath holder with a bath body housed therein should be found.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The problem is solved and the drawbacks of the known methods are largely eliminated by the method of installing a bath body housed in a bath holder, in particular a bathtub or a shower bath, first attaching the supporting frame of the bath holder to the floor. The first part is mounted in the support base and the second part of the waste and overflow system is first mounted in the accessory part of the bath holder into which the bath body is inserted.

Firstly, the first assembly of the tray holder base with the complementary part of the tray holder is fixed, in which the position is fixed in the tray holder base of the assembled first part of the waste and overflow system, followed by a second assembly and definitive coupling of the tray holder base with the option of this bath holder.

-1 CZ 298530 B6

The first part of the waste and overflow system is inserted into the receiving part and during the first assembly the position of the receiving part is fixed.

The additional part of the bath holder is then connected to the bath body.

The invention also relates to a bath holder with a bath body, a support base and an additional part of a bath holder, wherein a drain and overflow system with a waste pipe, an overflow pipe and a siphon according to the invention is formed on the bath body. The overflow assembly is arranged partly in the complement holder of the bath holder and partly in the support frame of the bath holder, and between these parts of the drain and overflow system there is a connection between these parts of the drain and overflow system. the assembly of the accessory part with the support frame of the bath holder is self-sealing.

The first part of the waste and overflow system, which is located in the bath-base support, is preferably housed in a separate housing part from the bath-base support base.

It is advantageous if the bearing part is displaceable in the plane between the stops between the stops.

In the selected position, the bearing part is then firmly connected to the supporting frame of the bath holder.

In a particular embodiment, it is advantageous if a stepped passage is formed in the support frame of the bath-holder, in which a complementary step-shaped bearing part is accommodated, the engagement stage of the bearing part in two perpendicular directions in one plane being shorter than the passage in the support frame of the bath-holder.

On its upper side, the receiving part is preferably provided with a recess which is adapted in its shape to a part of the waste and overflow system.

Said recess preferably has the shape of a keyhole, in whose larger circular region a portion of the lower siphon forming part of the joint is accommodated.

The second part of the drainage and overflow system is arranged in the complementary part of the bath holder and consists of a first, from the overflow to the drain opening of the tubing body and a second, from the drain opening of the tub body to the first part of the drainage and overflow system.

The first pipe runs along the tub body and the second pipe runs straight vertically.

The second conduit is provided with a free projecting connection section, wherein pins are formed on the complementary part of the tub holder and the connection section has a smaller free length than the pins.

The first conduit and the second conduit are provided separately from each other to the first part of the waste and overflow system with facing connecting sections.

The first part of the waste and overflow system is preferably provided with two connection heads.

The siphon is preferably designed as the first part of the waste and overflow system in the support frame of the bath holder.

The connecting heads are preferably interconnected by piping.

The flaps are preferably formed by separate parts.

The flails may be of a hard material such as injection molding.

-2GB 298530 B6

Thus, the support frame is set up or fixed at the desired location of the bath body installation, for example in the bathroom. Subsequently, a bath body, which is already integrated in one piece with the additional part of the bath holder, is mounted on the supporting frame. The method according to the invention is carried out in such a way that only a support frame is used for fixing at the installation site, which is fixed to the substrate or fixed to the substrate as described above. Only thereafter is the bath body connected to the supporting frame, which is already connected to the additional part of the bath holder. Inserting the bathtub into the bath holder at the installation site is completely eliminated. Instead, the tub body is already inserted into the bath tub part and is connected to the bath tub part during manufacture. Due to the fact that the tub body has already been inserted into the accessory part of the tub holder at the factory, a good seating of the tub body is already rationally ensured. In this respect, it is further proposed that the complementary part of the bath-holder is produced in production by enclosing the bath-body with foam. In this way, the complementary part of the tub holder is immediately attached to the tub body, irrespective of the particular dimensions of the tub body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 shows a bath body 1, in particular a bath tub, which is rigidly connected to the bath tub accessory part 2 by foaming. This additional part 2 of the bath holder is provided on its underside with projections in the form of pins 3, which serve for positive connection with the support frame 4 of the bath holder according to Fig. 2.

It is further illustrated, although in certain cases it is not absolutely necessary that the pins 3 and the recess 5 are spaced so that the attachment of the bath tub complementary part 2 to the bath tub support frame 4 is only possible in one particular position. In view of the sometimes desirable variability of the inclined surfaces and the flat surfaces of the finally assembled tub holder, the recesses 5 in the tub holder support 4 can also be arranged symmetrically such that the additional tub holder member 2 can be connected to the tub holder support 4 both possible positions.

-6GB 298530 B6

The drawings further show that the support frame 4 of the bath holder is provided with passages 6 near its narrower sides. The passage 6 in the assembled state with the bath holder spare part 2 can be supplemented with the opening 7 in this bath holder spare part 2 in a conventional assembly passage.

It can be seen from the cross-section in FIG. 3 that the complementary part 2 of the tubular holder is precisely connected to the tubular body by means of the protruding edges of the tubular body.

It can be seen from the cross-section in FIG. 4 that the support frame 4 has a bearing surface 8 on its underside, which is formed here by the circumferential edge of the support frame 4 and the central rib 9. In addition, there is a support frame 4 in the support frame a connecting trough 10 is formed between the two passages 6, in which, for example, a waste pipe and the like can be accommodated.

It can be seen from the figure in FIG. 5 that the additional part 2 of the bath holder is provided with an opening 7 and a bottom side in the area of the drain opening 11 of the bath body 1. 12 of the bath body 1 is here accessible by an assembly passage which results from the opening 7 and the passage 6 The installation of the bath body 1 according to FIG. 1 is now proceeded as follows:

The support frame 4 of the bath-holder is first covered with an adhesive, for example mounting foam, on its underside, i.e. on the bearing surface 8. The tray holder base 4 is then set up at a designated point on the floor and waits for the assembly foam to cure to adhere to the floor. In the following operation, an additional bath-holder part 2 is connected to the bath-carrier support base 4 together with the bath-body 1 which is inserted therein. This connection can be accurately shaped in the illustrated embodiment. However, it is also possible to carry out simple gluing on flat surfaces. Thereafter, a mounting opening can be cut in the side wall of the bath holder thus formed in the area of the drainage opening 11, and a waste fitting can be mounted here, or connected to the waste fitting, or checked for leaks.

Further exemplary embodiments described below are based on the basic embodiment described above. For like or similar elements, like reference numerals are used where necessary, in some cases without repetition of the verbal description.

Also described is a version of the pins 3 which allows the tub body 1 to be equipped with pipelines already in production. This is achieved by a certain embodiment of the pins 3 which extend into the corresponding recesses 5 between the accessory part of the bath-holder 2 and the support frame 4 of the bath-holder.

First of all, measures for further improvement: These measures consist mainly in the design of the support frame 4 of the bath holder, which facilitates installation. This support frame 4 of the bath holder is provided with lateral passages 1, which allow the piping to be laid in the passages 6 and possibly the openings 7. The respective piping 1 is shown in FIG.

The side passages 1 are preferably formed near the corners of the support frame 4 of the tub holder, not only in its longitudinal sides but, as shown in FIG. 7, also in at least one of its narrow sides.

The individual side passages 13 are formed as slots formed in the upper side of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The respective underside of the bathtub part 2 generally closes the upwardly facing mouths of these side passages 13. This creates window recesses which are closed by the flange of the bathtub part 2.

-7EN 298530 B6

It can be seen from another exemplary embodiment, in particular FIG. 7, that two lateral passages 13 are arranged in the passage 6 therein in a common transverse plane. in other words, the mounting chamber formed here is divided in the longitudinal direction by the design of the tubular support frame 2 as a lattice structure. The partition is formed by a longitudinal bridge 17, which crosses with a series of transverse bridges 18, which adjoin the inner sides of the supporting frame 4 of the bath holder, which is designed as a frame. Similarly, the longitudinal web 17 located in the split assembly chamber is also connected.

In the transverse webs 18, recesses 19 are formed at a certain distance from the sides of the support frame 4, which extend from the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 and correspond in shape to the side passages 13. The recesses 19 are aligned longitudinally to form a channel a structure that is similar to the connecting groove 10 and in which the conduit can be accommodated. In addition, the recesses 19 are aligned in longitudinal direction with the lateral passages 13 in the narrower side of the support frame 4 of the bath holder, remote from the drain opening IT ·

These recesses 19 are also closed by a suitable grid structure on the underside of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder. In addition, it is possible to support the additional part 2 of the bath holder on the supporting frame 4 of the bath holder. In this connection, reference is also made to FIG. 9, which shows a grid structure 20 in which, if any, the additional part 2 of the bath holder is provided with an opening 7 which co-forms a mounting chamber on the drain opening side 11. The same is 7 is also seen in relation to the split passage 6.

In addition to the shape-precisely described plug-in connection between the complementary part 2 and the support frame 4 of the tub holder by means of pins 3 and recesses 5, there are further vertically oriented locating elements. These alignment elements are designed such that the trim strips 21 are formed on the underside 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath bracket or its walls. The matching strips 21 extend into the corresponding position recesses 22 in the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The described positioning elements can of course also be arranged upside down. The position recesses 22 are each closed at one end. At the opposite end, these position recesses 22 open into lateral passages 13.

A further particularity of the bath holder according to the second and third exemplary embodiments is that the support frame 4 of the bath holder is provided with a holder 23 which carries an overflow tube 24 which connects to the usual connections of the bath body 1 in the mounting chamber. The holder 23 consists of the same material as the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The holder 23 is height adjustable in the vertical recess 25 in the support frame 4 of the bath holder, which is open to the passage 6 therein. The sides of the vertical recess 25 are ribbed in the longitudinal direction. These ribs fit into the corresponding guide grooves 27 in the narrow side sides of the holder 23. In the wall of the accessory part 2 of the bath holder facing the opening 7, a corresponding recess 26 is provided with a cross-section which is provided with corresponding guide ribs.

The overflow pipe 24 passes into a connecting plate 28, which can be moved to a height in which the drain opening 11 of the bath body 1 is located.

The holder 23 extends according to FIG. 7 above the upper contact plane of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. This contact plane is defined by a mounting gap between the top side 15 and the bottom side 16.

The bath holder according to the third exemplary embodiment differs from the second exemplary embodiment in yet other constructional details. Also, position recesses 22 for corresponding matching strips 21 are formed in the support frame 4 of the bath-holder according to FIG. 13. These position recesses 22, however, are at one end, here at the end of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. open. The longitudinal groove thus formed opens in one side, here in the narrower or transverse side of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. In the opposite direction, i.e. in the region of the tray holder base 4 at the drain opening 11, a displacement stop is formed on the tray holder base 4. For this purpose, for example, the lateral delimitation 29 of the pipe recess 29, which is formed by the side passages 13, is used.

The side passages 13, which have a greater width here, merge into a smaller mounting chamber, i.e. the passage 6 The side of these side passages 13, which form the lateral delimitation 29, passes by a convex curvature 30 into a vertical recess 25.

The two position recesses 22, which are designed as rail grooves, allow mounting in a horizontal direction. The matching strips 21 slide into the open ends of the position recesses 22. The displacement then proceeds towards the holder 23.

With respect to the cross-section of these position recesses 22, undercut grooves or grooves with a cross-section in the shape of a swallow tail can be used here. In order to avoid frictional contact of the feed along its entire length, the sides of the mowing rails 21 and the position recesses 22 can converge in the insertion direction. In this way, it is then possible for the complement holder part 2 to be lowered onto the support frame 4 of the holder, for example, in a half overlap, and only then to be displaced. Once the defined end position has been reached in which the periphery of the complement holder 2 is aligned with the corresponding circumference of the support holder 4, the exact position of the holder 23 can then be adjusted in the vertical direction. In this case, the holder 23 can also be partially inserted into the extension recess 26. The holder 23 acts practically as a bolt. If the holder 23 is not fully plugged into the support frame 4 of the bath holder, the front side of the optional bath holder part 2 can be cut.

In order to facilitate the associated manipulation, a gantry recess 31 is formed in the longitudinal side wall of the accessory part 2 of the bath holder, which is aligned with the side passage 13. This gantry recess 31 is formed from below, i.e. into the underside 16 of the accessory part 2 of the bathtub. of the bracket cut a groove that faces the upwardly open side passage 13.

In this embodiment, the side-limiting effect 29 does not apply. For the correct alignment of the portal recess 31 to the side passage 13, end stops formed by the ends of the positioning recesses 22 or the stopping effect of the converging flanks 21 and the positioning recesses 22 are preferred.

The portal recess 31 may have the dimensions of a conventional inspection shaft.

In order to meet the requirement of providing a bath holder with an inclined longitudinal wall and a straight longitudinal wall, it is provided that spacers 32 are formed on the support base 4 of the bath holder. These spacers 32, if present, provide for the wall to the cell in which the bath holder is to be installed.

For each longitudinal side or transverse side, according to FIG. 13, two spacers 32 which are arranged substantially near the corners are used. To this end, breaking lines are formed in the heel region of these spacers 32. Structurally, the spacers 32 are designed as simple vertical rails having the same height as the support frame 4 of the bath holder.

A fourth embodiment relates to a shower bowl or shower tray. Here, too, comparable accessibility is ensured. The support frame 4 of the bath holder shown in FIG

15 and others, has a square plan. On at least two sides, the support frame 4 of the bath holder is provided with lateral passages 13, which are also arranged near the corners.

FIG. 20 shows an embodiment in which the side passages 13 are equally arranged on all four sides. This can be, as shown, side passages 13 of different widths. Such a mounting plate, which is always rotatable by 90 [deg.], Is itself stable and sufficiently load-bearing for the superstructure, which also consists here of a complementary part 2 of the bath holder. The push-on means, i.e. the pins 3 and the recesses 5, are made as described above. 19 and 20, recesses 5 for pins 3 are omitted. In FIG. 16, however, these recesses 5 are clearly visible.

It is provided that the bath holder, in particular in the design for a square-shaped shower tub, is provided with a plurality of blind holes 34 for receiving a siphon 33. The blind holes 34 are arranged, for example, on four circles 35 with different diameters and in the corners of a square floor plan. The center x of the circles 35 are located at the intersection of the diagonals of the square. The difference in diameter of the circles 35 is always the same.

On each of the circles 35, one of the blind holes 34 is located at its center y and the blind holes 34 on the individual circles 35 are spaced 90 ° to each other.

It can be seen from FIG. 19 that the distance of the blind holes 34 from the center x decreases stepwise from the maximum distance to the minimum distance. In this order, a, b, c, d positions are generated whose distance from the center x decreases in a clockwise direction. In other respects it corresponds that the individual blind openings 34 have different distances from each other of the four sides of the square plan view of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. By turning the support frame 4 of the bath-holder by 90 ° in each case, a suitable position for installation can also be found, also with respect to the side passages 13.

The embodiment of FIG. 20 is constructed in the same manner. The only difference is that there are two additional special positions e, f for the siphon 34, which are formed by widening the blind holes 34 in the radial direction. These positions e, f are arranged in a clockwise direction in succession. Thus, two blind holes 34 are formed, each consisting of two intersecting blind holes 34. The line of overlap lies approximately halfway through the radius of the blind holes 34. Also the centers y of the newly added blind holes 34 lie on respective circles 35 with radii spaced as already described.

It can also be seen from FIG. 20 that the individual blind holes 34 in the pairs thus formed are arranged on the radial with respect to the center x.

A support zone 36 is located in the center of the support bracket 4 of the tub holder. On this support region 36, the bottom of the tub body 1 rests in foam. In FIG. 16, this support region 36 is seen as a platform.

Edge extensions 38 are formed at the edges of the support frame 4 of the bath-holder with a distance from the support area 36. These edge extensions 38 form, with their upper sides 15, contact surfaces for the respective underside 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath-holder. The edge extensions 38 appear to be circumferential walls between which there are gaps representing the aforementioned side passages 13. The recesses 5 are formed in the corners of the edge extensions 38.

Between the support region 36 and the edge extensions 38 located at the same height is a depression 39 in which the aforementioned blind holes 34 are formed.

-10GB 298530 B6

The bottom of the side passages 13 are aligned vertically with a depression 39 which extends at the aforementioned distance over the entire circumference of the support frame 4 of the bath holder and surrounds the abutment region as an annular groove.

The drain opening 11 in the bottom 37 of the bath body 1 is kept accessible from below in the foam-filled accessory part 2 of the bath holder. For this purpose, a corner tunnel 40, which opens towards the underside 16 of the bath tub add-on piece 2 and opens near its side walls near the corner of the bath tub add-on piece 2. In the ceiling of this corner tunnel 40, a passage is formed in the foam material above which the drain opening of the bath body 1 is located.

The width of the mouth of the corner tunnel 40 corresponds to the width of the lateral passages 13 located below. The corner tunnel 40 may be arched or angled.

With respect to the support frame 4 of the bath holder, it should be noted that waste pipes can be embedded in the foam. In this regard, it could also be advantageous to connect the additional bath-holder part 2 to the bath-holder support 4 already in production.

In such a case, it would be particularly advantageous to use the snap-on connection according to FIG. 10 and Π. A protruding gripping head 3 ' is formed on the pin 3 as a whole, which achieves a self-locking engagement in the recess 5. Thus, the pin 3 is firmly anchored and inserted into the recess 5 in the vertical direction. 10, the gripping head 3 'is formed at the free end of the pin 3, while in the embodiment of FIG. 11, the gripping head 3' is formed halfway through the length of the pin 3. In both cases, a nearly permanent connection is achieved. Further details in this regard are apparent from DE-patent application DE 197 53 375.

The bath holder in all embodiments is provided with acoustic insulation. It is a soft foam mat 41 having a lattice structure which corresponds to the course of the ribs of the adjacent parts or the frame structure of the complementary part 2 of the tub holder of the tub body 1. In the latter case, however, the edge-like insulation is also in the area of the support plate 36.

The thickness of the soft foam mat 41 is between 0.3 mm and 1.5 cm. The bottom 41 of the supporting frame 4 of the bath holder can be provided with a longitudinal groove 42, as shown in FIG. 13, for example. A longitudinal groove 42 can be formed on the longitudinal crossbar 41 of FIG. Is thus formed between the washer 41 of soft foam and the support frame 4 of the tub bracket particulate foam mating profile in cross-section U-shaped particulate foam material can be made of polystyrene foam with a density of 15-50 kg / m ^3, preferably density of 23 to 30 kg / m ³ . The flexibility of the washer 41 is selected such that under load of the tub, including the tubular support base 4, with the water rotated and by the user, the washer 41 is not compressed by more than half its thickness. The loaded area accounts for approximately twenty to one third of the base area of the bath holder. The relatively rigid foam of the support frame 4 of the bath holder is roughened towards the support 41.

It is sufficient if the soft foam of the washer 41 is located only on the load-carrying surface. It is an elastomer of the PUR type with a mixed cellular structure and correspondingly excellent dynamic properties. The static E-module and the dynamic E-module are almost identical. Matter also has a slight tendency to flow.

The soft foam of the washer 41 has closed pores and an open-pored skeleton. One of the surfaces of the washer 41 is mated in the layer 43. The remaining area of the washer 41 is roughened.

The fifth to seventh exemplary embodiment again relates to a shower basin or shower tub having a substantially square plan and further improved with respect to the accessibility of the siphon 33 and the outgoing pipe 14. Corresponding components are identified by the same reference numerals as in the previous embodiments, partly without repetition of their description. The described improvements can also be applied to a bathtub after technical transformation. Instead of the individual closed side passages 13, a relatively large inspection aperture 46 is now formed in the corner region 45 of the bath holder, which extends into both adjacent sides 12 of the bath holder, which form an angle of approximately 90 ° to each other. The inspection opening 46 is accessed by removing the cover 48 that closes the siphon chamber 47 on the periphery.

By removing the cover 48 which closes the corner area 45, the inspection opening 46 is simultaneously accessible in both side walls. This allows access optionally from one or the other side wall, depending on which of the side walls is attached to the building wall. If not, there is even the advantage of the entire opening.

The cover 48, which externally closes the inspection opening 46 in the planes of the side walls, follows the contour of the corner and is consistently designed as a corner piece. The cover 48 is essentially angular in plan view, with a vertically oriented concave bulge 49 formed in a corner away from the angle of the angle. This creates space for the siphon 33 and the pipe connections.

At the same time, the cover 48 is designed as a filling of the inspection opening 4, so that the inserted cover 48 simultaneously serves in this two-part construction of the complementary part 2 and the support base 4 of the bath-holder as a block to accept the mechanical load. The cover 48 has in this region a wall of approximately the same thickness as the side walls, which therefore extend almost continuously through the cover 48. It may go so far that the cover 48 forms the abutment of the bottom portion 37 'of the bath body J.

According to a first exemplary embodiment, the inspection aperture 46 is located in the region of the side walls of the additional part 2 of the bath holder. It is thus located above the joint 50 between the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder and the lower side 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder. Under this crack

- 12GB 298530 B6, the aforementioned siphon chamber 47 is formed in the tubular support frame 4. The siphon chamber 47 is defined in the tubular support frame 4 in its corner region 45 by wall sections 51 that extend up to the upper side 15 of the support frame 4. bath holder.

In alignment with the outlet opening 11 in the vertical direction, a blind opening 34 is also formed here. In this way, the possible height of the siphon 33 above the bottom of the siphon chamber 47 is increased.

The ceiling of the inspection opening 46 towards the corner area 45 rises obliquely in the manner of a roof. Correspondingly, the cover 48 tapers towards the outlet opening 11. This taper is particularly well evident from FIG. 26. It is a wedge taper with an upper wedge surface 52, which corresponds to a counter surface 53 on the additional part 2 of the bath holder. The wedge surface 52 occupies only the corner region of the ground plan of the cover 48. The surface roughness of the material also acts against the lateral force component. The lateral force component can also hardly be produced due to the planar design of the rest of the housing 48.

Instead of a wedge taper on the top of the cover 48, a wedge taper on its underside can also be envisaged, and a wedge taper on both sides of the cover 48 can even be imagined. In all cases, the greatest wedge height in the vertical direction is reached in the corner line 54. the wedge surface 52 extends fully symmetrically with respect to the axis of the angle which the sides of the cover 48 grip together.

To facilitate the handling of the cover 48, gripping recesses 55 are formed on its outer walls which are at right angles to each other, each having a size equal to twice the size of the fingertip and which are additionally spaced apart over a corner at a distance to allow gripping of the cover 48 hands of adult man. The cover 48 can thus be gripped around a corner or only from one side.

As can be seen, for example, in FIG. 26, the two arms of the cover 48, which are angled in plan view, continue with the horizontal side wings 56. Corresponding grooves 57 are provided for the side wings 56 for the side wings 56. The side wings 56 have a vertical direction reduced thickness and are also somewhat narrower than the shoulders of the cover 48 in the horizontal direction. Due to the tongue / groove joint thus formed, the cover 48 itself is retained in the inspection opening 46 even if the cover 48, for example, is not yet clamped by the wall sections 51 of the siphon chamber 47. In the bath holder according to the seventh embodiment. It is also possible to imagine a connection based on friction.

33 and 35 further improvements are explained. This is a measure by which the slope of the conduit 14 is simply and reliably obtained. The channel-shaped recess 39 in which the conduit 14 is to be received is provided in the remaining corner regions with support bridges 58 which extend along the right-angled axis. In relation to the frame of the support frame 4 of the bath-holder, these support webs 58 extend in the form of a bevel and are formed identically to one another. The support bridges 58 can extend up to the plane of the central support plate 36 of the tubular support frame 4, i.e. up to the upper side 15 of the tubular support frame 4. In addition to or independently of these taper bridges 58, other support bridges can also be provided in the remainder of the recess 39, which then extend transversely to the recess 39. These support bridges are then cut in place as needed, to achieve the desired slope of the pipe 14.

Support grooves 59 are provided in support bridges 58 for receiving, for example, elbows 60 of conduit 14. These elbows 60 are shown in FIG. 57.

The profile of the grooves 59 can be further deepened further if the piping is to be placed below, which can be carried out with a conventional tool, for example a pocket knife.

-13 GB 298530 B6

The conduit 14 can optionally be laid using a peripheral depression 39. If the outlet opening 11 of the bath body 1 or the siphon 33 comes out, it is also possible to use a diagonally extending groove depression 39, which is indicated, for example, in dotted lines in FIG. imagine cross diagonals.

The design of the corner regions with support bridges 58 are the same in all three corners, but the two support bridges 58 in the region of the depression 39 are connected to an even lower channel depression 61. The bottom of the channel depression 61 may form a starting point for further depression of depression 39 or it can also serve, for example, to accommodate power lines, for example a grounding conductor. The left corner region is provided with a short extension 61 which merges into the adjacent depression 39.

As further seen in FIG. 33, the siphon chamber 47 is provided with spacers 63 in front of the inlet portions of the recess portions 39 that are at right angles to each other. These spacers 63 can be lowered, i.e., cut from their maximum height, . In this way, the initial slope of the pipe 14 can be easily adjusted correctly.

Also in other exemplary embodiments, the parts to be joined can be dimensionally aligned such that the tubular support frame 4 and the tubular complementary part 2 complement each other in the vertical direction so as to form the tubular holder usual above for a bath or shower tub. Similarly, a correspondingly compact structure for accommodating the conduit 14 is also suitably distributed, which is further reduced by the fact that the recess 39 in the tubular support frame 4 is supplemented with a recess 64 in the tubular support component 2 at the top. The recess 64 extends in the complementary part 2 of the bath holder in alignment with the recess 39 and thus forms a tunnel-like superstructure. The recess 64 may thus represent up to half the overall height of the clear cross-section.

The tub body 1 and the tubular support part 2 are arranged relative to each other so that a suitable gap is formed between them. In other words, the additional part 2 of the bath-holder also follows with its contact surface all the rounds of the inserted bottom 37 of the bath-body 1. This alone leads to a support of the bottom 37, which is stable against treading by the user. In order to further support this, it may be advantageous, in particular in the so-called acrylate baths, if the material of the additional bath-holder part 2 has a greater density in the area that forms the abutment surface for the bottom 37. The respective boundary layer 65 is shown in FIG. Said boundary layer 65 has a density of approximately 60 g / dm ³ .

Below the higher density area, i.e. below the boundary layer 65, there is a lower density area that forms the greater part of the thickness of the bathtub complementary part 2 at these locations. The lower density is about 25 to 30 g / dm ³ .

However, the boundary layer 65 can also continue in the vertical direction. This is also apparent from FIG. 37. It can be seen from FIG. 39 that such vertical slats 66 extend up to the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The lower density regions located between these vertical slats 66 may be selected from below even in order to limit the sound transmission. The structure of the vertical extensions 66 here corresponds to the structure of the ribs on the support frame 4 of the bath holder.

The same also applies in relation to the measures described in connection with the fourth exemplary embodiment, i.e. in relation to the soft foam mat 41. This washer 41 would correspond to the grid structure as shown in FIG. 34.

Another, also practicable measure for the sound-technical optimization of the bath holder may be to insert such a soft foam washer 41 as shown in FIG. 36.

14 A 298530 B6 of the washer 41 takes into account the contact areas in the joint area 50 between the bathtub support piece 2 and the bathtub support frame 4.

Fig. 40 shows a sixth exemplary embodiment, which by its basic technical concept corresponds to the embodiment described in Fig. 25 et seq. Here, too, in part without repeating the description, like reference numerals are used for like parts. The difference is that the cover 48 now divides the gap 50 between the tubular support frame 4 and the tubular support part 2 in the vertical direction up and down and extends into both the tubular support part 2 and the tubular support frame 4. This is particularly evident from FIG. 42. The wall sections 51 of the siphon chamber 47 are simply omitted here. The recess in the support frame 4 of the bath holder thus extends as far as the bottom of the siphon chamber 47. The cover 48, which has been designed in the same way, has a height in this sense increased by the height of the recess, i.e. higher.

Also in this sixth embodiment, other features may be used, such as forming a support bridge 58, a harder boundary layer and the like.

The plug means which connect the two basic elements to each other, i.e. the support base 4 and the complementary part 2 of the bath holder, which are realized as pins 3 and recesses 5, are changed starting from the fifth embodiment. The studs 3 are now formed by the same marked ledge-shaped protrusions on the underside 16 of the complementary part 2 and the recesses 5 are formed in alignment with the longitudinal grooves formed therewith in the upper side of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The depth of insertion of the pins 3 into the recesses 5 is selected so that any excess, extruded adhesive, for example silicone adhesive, can escape to the bottom of the recesses 5 and collect there.

In the seventh exemplary embodiment of Fig. 43 et seq., There is shown a modified manner of interlocking of the complementary part 2 and the support frame 4 of the tub holder. The casing of the optional bath-holder component 2, which represents the entire height of the bath-holder, now extends beyond the edges of the support frame 4 of the bath-holder. To this end, the complement holder part 2 is provided with an overlapping flange 67. This flange 67 protrudes downwardly from the bottom side 16 of the supplement holder part 2. The front surface of the skirt 67 extends all the way to the floor, i.e. the base surface of the bath holder. However, it is advantageous if this front surface does not reach immediately to the base surface of the bath holder to create an expansion joint.

In this embodiment also, in order to provide access to the siphon 33 and the pipe 14 extending therefrom, the corner area 45 is left open so that a gate 69 is formed over the corner. The corresponding interruption of the flange 67 in the inspection opening 46 is effected The corner area 45 extending outwardly from the wicket support frame 4 extends outwardly in alignment. Also, the right-angled relative to each other the vertical outer walls of the cover 48 are flush with said surfaces. An inwardly oriented recess 70 is formed on the edge region of the support bracket 4 of the bath-holder to which the edges of the skirt 67 abut, the depth of which corresponds to the wall thickness of the skirt 67.

In the embodiment of Figs. 53 and 54, which is also provided with a skirt 67, the recess 70 and the wicket 69 on the underside 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder 2 are also clearly visible. Fig. 54 shows a siphon chamber 47 with a different plan view. The outflow opening 11, which is displaced more inwardly here, is located in the elevated section of the peripheral depression 39. The respective platform 71 is visible. The groove section constituting said platform 71 extends as perpendicular to the diagonal falling line which corresponds to FIG. 55 shows the LVI-LVI section line.

Removable spacers 63 again protrude above the platform 71 in the end region of the raised section. A blind hole 34 is also located between the spacers 63 also in the raised area 71. This blind hole 34 has a raised edge and can be further deepened and

- 15GB 298530 B6 to accommodate different types of siphon 33. This central region then passes into a diagonally extending inwardly facing recess channel 72.

The adjoining ends of the peripheral depression 39 lie slightly lower relative to the platform 71.

It can be seen from the detail of FIG. 57 that the portions of the depression 39 merge at right angles to each other. As already mentioned, a support bridge 58 is arranged along the angle axis. In the bearing groove 59 in this support bridge 58, a joint 73 of two tightly inserted connected elbows 60 is formed which forms an angle of approximately 140 °. Due to the linear plug portions of the elbows 60, the bend of the pipe 14 is gradual and thus does not clog this critical flow region as easily as it would in the case of a sharp bend at 90 °. This results in a curvature mitigating the bend 74 which extends transversely to the diagonal or angle axis.

In Fig. 58 there is shown a further particularity regarding the recess 39. A schematically illustrated siphon 33 extends from the siphon 33 by a coupling 75 with a spherical head, which is located in plan view adapted to the interspace 76 between the blind hole 34 of the support 4 This area can also be inspected in the inspection opening 46 after the cover 48 has been removed. The arc arrow drawn around the axis of the siphon 33 indicates the adjustment of the connection direction.

Fig. 34 shows the spacers 32 on the support frame 4 of the bath holder. Their meaning is explained in connection with Fig. 13.

Figures 59 to 73 illustrate further improvements of the solution to facilitate the connection of waste pipes and other measures that facilitate assembly. Since in this embodiment the basic principle of dividing the bath holder is retained, the same reference numerals are used for the corresponding parts, in part without repeating the description in the text. In these measures, which lead to further improvement, the advantage of dividing the bath holder to achieve the plug-in function is exploited. Pins 3 are also used for mechanical alignment, which are arranged in the corners of the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder and of the lower side 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder. These pins 3 may consist of lots of harder material than the rigid foam used, similar to the vertical extensions 66 described in connection with FIG. 37. However, pins 3 which are formed as separate parts are preferred. The pins 3 are recessed and fixed in the vertical holes 78, which open into the underside 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder. The pins 3 are of a hard material, for example of hard polyvinyl chloride.

However, it is also conceivable to incorporate wooden pegs, strips and the like which also fit in alignment with the recesses 5 which are formed in the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder.

In the space parallel to the vertically arranged pins 3, the plug-in part 79 of the waste and overflow system E extends, which also intersects the gap between the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder and the underside 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder. Said waste and overflow assembly E consists of fittings located on both the basic parts of the bath holder, i.e. on the support frame 4 of the bath holder and the supplementary part 2 of the bath holder. The waste and overflow system E is thus arranged partly in the complementary part 2 of the bath-holder and partly in the supporting frame 4 of the bath-holder. According to the drawing, it appears that the joint between the parts E \ E of the waste and overflow assembly E, which is arranged in the gap between the upper side 15 of the support frame 4 of the bath holder and the underside 16 The bath holder and the optional part 2 of the bath holder automatically seal. The male part 79 extends into the housing 80. The male part 79 and the housing 80 have a common vertical central axis and their cross-sections are adapted to each other.

-16GB 298530 B6

The part E 'of the waste and overflow system E formed by the housing 80 is arranged in the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The remaining part E of the waste and overflow system E is accessible in the gap area F in the accessory part 2 of the bath holder.

The housing 80 is an annular seal in the form of a collar 81, which may be of rubber or rubber-like plastic. On the upper side of this collar 81, a centering conical bore 82 is formed which facilitates the plug connection. Lubricant can also be applied here to make insertion even easier.

The cuff 81 is connected at its periphery to the lower part 83 of the siphon 33. The siphon 33, which prevents the ingress of odor, continues in connection with the lower part 83 by an upwardly extending arc 84 connected to the siphon 33 pivotably about a vertical axis. The arc 84 is also connected, in a rotatable manner, to a connecting pipe 85, to which a drain pipe can be connected, which can optionally be placed in one of the connecting troughs 10. In this case the support frame 4 of the bath holder is provided with a pair of parallel connecting troughs 10.

All pipe connections and connections are sealed in the usual way.

The plug part 79 leads to the bottom 37 of the bath body 1 where it is connected to the drain opening 11. The respective overflow 86 at the edge of the bath body 1 is also shown, from which the first conduit 87 follows to the drain opening H. . This first conduit 87 continues in a substantially horizontal section 88, which, of course, has a downward slope. This part E of the waste and overflow system E further comprises a second conduit 89 which extends from the outlet opening 11 towards the first part E 'of the waste and overflow system E and thus forms the plug part 79.

The second conduit 89 is provided with a substantially protruding connecting section 90 with a bevelled outer peripheral edge, thereby further enhancing the aforementioned centering effect.

It can be seen from FIG. 59 that the connecting section 90 or the entire second pipe 89 has a slightly smaller free length in the vertical direction than the pins 3, so that the pins 3 serve as spacers. In other words, the connecting section 90 does not abut the base surface or the rough floor of the room. The pins 3 are sufficiently stable to serve as legs because they are of a relatively harder material than the bath holder.

The variant shown in Figs. 62 to 64 relates to an embodiment in which the first conduit 87 and the second conduit 89 are provided with mutually separated connecting sections 90, which are directed to the part E 'of the waste and overflow system E in the carrier base 4 of the bath holder. The two ducts 97 and 89, which project as plug elements from the underside 16 of the complementary part 2 of the bath holder, are interconnected by a transverse strut 91, which mechanically stabilizes them. This transverse strut 91 is concealed in the contour of the additional part 2 of the bath holder.

The waste water is discharged in such a way that the part E 'of the waste and overflow system E, which is arranged in the support frame 4 of the bath holder, is correspondingly provided with two connection heads 92, of which the right part in FIG. 83 siphon 33. Otherwise the construction is identical. It should also be noted that the left connection head 92 is connected via a transverse line 93 to the lower part 83 of the siphon 33.

The part E 'of the waste and overflow assembly E, which is arranged in the bath-base support base 4, is housed in a bearing part 94 separated from the bath-base support base 4. This bearing part 94 is of the same material as the support frame 4 of the bath holder.

The bearing part 94 is displaceable in a horizontal plane in the manner of a suction and associated there with a smaller passage 6 in the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The passage 6 is at

In the longitudinal direction of the tubular support frame 4, the length of the bearing part 94 measured in this direction is longer, so that a relatively large adjustment path is available in the respective axis.

The ends of the passage 6 form end stops for the displaceable bearing part 94 located below the tub body 1.

The siphon 33 is held by the receiving part 94 and can be brought exactly into the position of the plug part 79 and securely fastened to the support frame 4 of the bath holder.

The longitudinal edges of the passage 6 are profiled for guidance in the longitudinal direction. In particular, it appears that the passage 6 in the support frame 4 of the tub holder is designed as a stepped opening. This is a snapshot stage. The graduation on the support base 4 of the bath-holder is provided on its side to the support surface. The passage 6, which is formed in the recessed area 95, is of such dimensions with respect to the base stage 96 of the bearing part 94 that a certain mobility of the bearing part 94 relative to the support frame 4 of the tub holder is achieved in the transverse direction. The base step 96 may be flush with the flat surface of the recessed area 95. Also, the bottom of the troughs 10 are located at the height of the recessed area 95. These troughs 10 are optionally rounded at the bottom and the lowest point of this rounding may then be 3 cm lower than the recessed area 95. The abutment bridges 58 therein may be at the same height as said dividing plane.

On the underside of the support frame 4 of the bath-holder, undercut steps 97 are formed into which the side wings 98 of the receptacle 94 extend. To fix the receptacle 94, the side wings 98 are retracted. They can also be used to apply an adhesive layer 99 to secure the adjusted position of the receiving portion 94. The adhesive layer 99 abuts the corresponding undersides of the undercut stages 97.

In FIG. 68, the possible pivoting positions of the bearing part 94, which in the same plane reaches the possibly ribbed underside of the support frame 4 of the bath holder, are indicated.

A recess 100 is provided in the upper side of the receptacle 94 for receiving a siphon 33, which, in terms of its plan and depth, corresponds to the part E 'of the waste and overflow system E, i.e. a siphon 33 whose contour resembles a key. Thus, the plan view of the recess 100 resembles a keyhole, with the lower portion 83 of the siphon 33 being received in the larger circular region 101 of the recess 100. The circular region 101 tapers towards the closed bottom of the receiving portion 94, preferably as complementary to the outer shape Further, the siphon 33 may be provided at its lower part with stabilizing wings which extend respectively transversely to the longitudinal direction of the duct which opens into the siphon 33. These stabilizing wings may have a cross section, for example, as a double T-beam. It goes without saying that corresponding cut-outs are then provided in the recess 100 for these stabilizing wings. The siphon 33 thus formed in the complementary recess 100 then has an even more stable position during splicing.

During the production or installation, the separate bath-holder complement 2 and the bath-holder support 4 are fitted with fittings, i.e. the waste and overflow system E. In this way, the waste part E 'is mounted in the bath-holder support 4. of the overflow system E, while part E of the waste and overflow system E is mounted in the additional part 2 of the bath holder. This can be done by foaming said parts E, E or by inserting them into the respective shafts. The part E of the waste and overflow system E, which is located in the support frame 4 of the bath-holder, has a fixed position when the support frame 4 of the bath-holder 4 is first assembled. The bearing part 94 is adjusted and fixed so that the necessary alignment of the plug part 79 and the housing 80 is ensured. Thus, the position of the siphon 33 is fixed. The corresponding positioning of the additional tray holder part 2 relative to the tray holder base 4 is achieved by As already described, the milking of the corresponding recesses 5 pre-engage. After a complete mutual abutment of one another, the additional part 2 of the bath holder is away from the support frame 4

-18GB 298530 B6 detaches the bath holder. In the second assembly, the complementary part 2 of the bath holder is definitively connected to the supporting frame 4 of the bath holder. This makes installation on site easier and much faster. The bath-tray supplementary part 2 and the bath-carrier support frame 4 can stick together. Previously, the support frame 4 of the bath holder is fixed to the raw floor by means of mounting foam, thus allowing the correct installation of the entire bath holder. The corresponding mounting foam will also come to the underside of the receptacle 94 on the underside of the support frame 4 of the bath holder. The mounting portion 94 then acts as a stable counter-abutment against the joining forces. It is sufficient to apply the assembly polyurethane foam in a bead approximately 1 cm thick.

The inspection opening may be cut.

The bath in another embodiment of FIG. 101 et seq. Consists of the actual bath body 201 and the bath holder 202. These parts may, in any case, when the bath holder 202 consists of the described support frame and an additional part, be made as described above. Unless described in detail, the separation plane between the complementary part and the support frame is in the region in which the components of the waste and overflow system are also assembled vertically.

The tub holder 202 has the shape of a washbasin and is self-supporting. The bath body 201 is supported therein so that it is supported almost on its entire surface.

The bath body 201 is made of acrylic or steel.

Preferably, the material of the tub holder 202 is a particulate foam such as EPP or EPS. The tub holder 202 is provided with conventional cavities, openings, recesses and ribs.

The tub holder 202 is further provided, for example on its longitudinal side or as shown, on its narrower side 203 with a recess 204 for the waste and overflow set G. This waste and overflow set G, which serves mainly to drain water, is divided into two parts that automatically connect to the tub holder 202 when the tub body 201 is assembled. The interconnection of said portions of the waste and overflow set G is so stable that the supporting elements, i.e. the tub body 201 and the tub holder 202, can serve as handling elements during assembly.

According to the first embodiment shown in Fig. 101 et seq., The steeply directed overflow pipe 205 of the waste and overflow set G leads to an overflow 206 which is arranged near the edge of the tub body 201. The lower, approximately horizontally oriented portion of the overflow pipe 205 extends The outflow water flows here in a vertically oriented drain pipe 208 which extends below the lower drain hole 207 vertically downwards from the bottom 209 of the bath body 201. The drain pipe 208 is tightly connected with its peripheral flange, possibly connectable with the edge of the lower outlet opening 207 of the bath body 201.

With this plug-like waste pipe 208, which serves as the coupling of the waste and overflow set G, a connection is made to the connection pipe 210, which can at the same time be designed as a siphon 211 or be connected to such a siphon 211. A siphon 211 is connected to a drain pipe 212 which can be connected to the waste pipe 213 of the building.

This part of the waste and overflow kit G, which is located in the bath holder 202, is positively secured in the recess 214 of the recess 204. The connection therein is formed by a bed S. The connection pipe 210 and siphon 211 with drain pipe 212 are provided. In the recess 214 of the tub holder 202, it is maintained in the correct position for interconnection in the vertical direction with the bottom outlet opening of the tub body 201. According to a first embodiment, the overflow 206 is also firmly connected to the drain pipe 208.

-19GB 298530 B6

The orientation as the plug-acting waste tube 208 relative to the bed S, which acts as a die, can be accomplished by means of a jig. Any deviations from the correct direction are corrected virtually automatically, since the bed S is provided with insertion means for the drain pipe 208 of the tub body 201. The indicated central axis coincides with the vertical line x-x in Figs. 101 and 106 and shows the insertion direction.

In addition, there is also the possibility of pivoting movement of the connecting tube 210, since this is connected vertically by the first joint 216 to a separately manufactured siphon 211, which is further vertically oriented by the second joint 217 and by an arc connected to the outlet pipe 212.

The second joint 217, by its second joint as a whole, forms a fully sufficient adjustment zone for connection to the waste pipe 213, even in the direction of the longitudinal sides.

In addition to these measures, which lead to a self-centering / self-sealing virtually stress-free, another measure is used to further refine the alignment of the bath body 1 relative to the bath holder 202. This measure consists in that the seat S is provided with an upwardly extending insertion funnel 218 to support said centering. It is an insertion cone which is arranged upstream of a substantially cylindrical or pot bed. The insertion funnel 218 is in the form of an upwardly opening truncated cone. Further, the insertion of the waste tube 208 can be supported by the measure that the outer edge of the free end of the waste tube 208 is chamfered or convexly rounded. In this way the pulp is prevented at the same time. As a whole, a well-guided slip and subsequent insertion into a diaphragm (not shown) with an opening in the bed S is thus achieved.

As can be seen from the drawings, the end section 215 of the connection tube 210, which thus forms the seat S, is provided with a pivot joint 219. in all directions. It is a ball joint. Its spherical sleeve 219 'extends only slightly over the largest diameter of the spherical ball 219 therein, which is mounted therein with continuous friction. These solutions represent a variant in the case that the connection tube 210 here, as already indicated above, also forms a siphon 211 here.

According to a first exemplary embodiment, the joint 219 continues with a siphon 211 in a particular embodiment. This joint 219 is movable only in one plane, about a vertical axis, so that the siphon 211 can be adjusted in a horizontal plane.

In the hinge 219, the two-way arrow Z in Figs. 112 and 113 can still be swiveled and, with sufficient free space, also a versatile movement in the ball joint performed in Figs. 110 et seq. Sufficient maneuvering space 223 is provided in the recess 214 in the bottom 222 of the tub holder 202 to move the end section 215 of the connecting tube 210 in the direction of the bidirectional arrow Z.

The end of the siphon-forming section 221 adjacent to the drain pipe passes into a joint 216, which in this case is rotatable. The elbow 225, which is part of this connection 216, can be rotated by 380 in the manner of a tank tower, thereby creating optimum conditions for the connection of the downstream drain pipe 212 therein.

With respect to the camber 214, it should be noted that this forms a sufficient abutment surface 226 for the underside of the end section 215 of the connecting tube 210, which is formed by the bottom 222 of the tub holder 202 or the mounting plate already described above.

A support surface 227 is also provided for the elbow 225 at the bottom 222. However, a window 228 is cut through in this support surface 227. A similar window 229 is located between the support surface 226 and the support surface 227. The window 229 allows partial penetration of a section 221, e.g.

A similar play is also available in the longitudinal direction and may be greater than shown.

The second embodiment shown in Fig. 105 et seq. Has a substantially identical construction. Likewise, like reference numerals are used. The separation of the waste and overflow set G arranged in the bath holder 202 corresponds to the construction in FIG. 101, even with a marked constructional concurrence, but with the variation that in this case also a part of the overflow pipe 205 is arranged in the bath holder 202, which is therefore divided. As a result, there is another connection for connecting the waste. Specifically, this is done so that both the overflow pipe 205 and the connection pipe 210 form beds for connecting the overflow 206, which is mounted on the bath body 201, and for the bottom outlet opening 207, which is also mounted on the bath body 201. Bed S which is associated with the lower outlet opening 207 is identical in detail to the embodiment already described, while the rest of the bed S 'formed on the overflow pipe 205 will be further described. This connection also comprises a plug portion which is formed by a first sub-section 205 'of the overflow tube 250. This first sub-section 205' is connected, possibly connectable, to the overflow 206 of the tub body 201.

On the other hand, the second overflow tube sub-section 205 is connected to the tub holder 202. The second overflow tube sub-section 205, like the first overflow tube sub-section 205 'at least in the plug region, is oriented as vertically as possible and communicates with the connection tube 210 The corresponding connection is made in the first connection 216 to the siphon 211, i.e. on a further section 220 of the substantially horizontally oriented connection pipe 210. The second sub-section 205 of the overflow pipe 205 does not have to extend completely vertically over its entire length and that is to say, over a portion of its length, follow the inclined front wall of the bath body 201 and move in exactly vertical direction only at its upper end, where it is coaxial with the first sub-section 205 'of the overflow tube 205 of the bath body 201.

This joint is also sealed in a conventional manner.

The second sub-section 205 of the overflow tube 205 which faces the overflow 206 is also provided with an insertion funnel 230 which is part of the seat there. The center axis x'-x 'of the overflow tube 205 thus connectable extends parallel to the midline xx. .

As can be seen from FIGS. 108 and 109, the rear side of the overflow 206 on the outside of the tub body 201 can be housed in a foam plastic part 231. This foam plastic section 231 extends to the outwardly bent edge of the tub body 201 and partially fills the corresponding recess 233 in the tub holder 202. In this foam plastic section 231, there is a free end of the first sub-section 205 'of the overflow tube 205 which the first portion 205 'of the overflow pipe 20' is disposed as a plug. The foam plastic part 231 has a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the narrow side 203 of the tub holder 202. The base of this trapezoid adjoins the rim of the tub body 201. This trapezoid fits, as already indicated, into a die formed in the narrower side 203 of the tubular holder 202. In the vertical downward tapering narrow sides of the foamed plastic part 231 acts as an insertion bevel 232 into the contour Thus, the desired pre-alignment can be achieved when inserting the bath body 201 into the bath holder 202. The toothed engagement described is an additional guide that assists the guide formed by the walls of the bath body 201 and the corresponding walls of the bath holder 202. Acrylate or steel is transported to the installation site and the installer fits them with an overflow pipe 205 and a waste pipe 208. Then the tub body 201 is connected to an already installed tub holder 202.

As shown in Fig. 109, a window 234 is located in the region of the siphon 211 in the recess 204, which at the same time serves as the mounting chamber, of the tub holder 202 at its narrower side 203. This window 234 allows viewing and free access to the mounting chamber. Window 234 is shown

Used in addition to the mounting holes formed in the longitudinal sides of the bath holder 202, which are not shown here.

Fig. 104 shows yet another variant related to the first exemplary embodiment. Only the connection area is shown here. It can be seen here that the lower outlet opening 207 of the tub body 201 is adjoined by an elbow 235 which passes through the U-shaped side loop 236 into its own drain pipe 208. Into this drain pipe 208 an overflow pipe 205 extends above its free end. The elbow 235 is bent at 90 °. The U-shaped side loop 236 consists of two horizontal and parallel sections in addition to the arc section. The central axis of the waste pipe 208 corresponds to the middle axis of the vertical section of the elbow 235. This elbow 235 and the upper closed end of the waste pipe 208 can abut against each other during assembly. The free end of the waste tube 208 is also designed to facilitate deposition. The waste pipe 208 can be moved in a direction transverse to its central x-x axis or tiltable within certain limits.

In a first embodiment, a recess 204 on the narrower side is connected to a free shaft 237 in which the overflow tube 205 is supported and supported from the rear.

In a second exemplary embodiment, the second sub-section 205 of the overflow tube 205 is attached in the narrow side 203 of the tub holder 202 by mounting foam.

The assembly is performed so that the connection pipe 210 and the siphon 211 with the waste pipe 213, thus forming the bed S, are first adjusted so that the bed S is aligned with the overflow pipe 205 or the outlet pipe 212 of the bath body 201 so that the bath body 201 together with the overflow 206 fixed thereto and the lower outlet opening 207 can be inserted into the tub holder 202, automatically centering and connecting to the connecting tube 210.

114 and 115 are in principle structurally identical and like reference numerals are also used, in part without repeating the description herein. However, there is a deviation of the mounting of the siphon 211. This is now stored in the recess 214 itself. The respective fixed fit in the bath holder 202 is provided here by the abovementioned abutment surface 226, which forms an upwardly open receptacle 238, in which the body of the siphon 211 is precisely shaped.

The abutment surface 226 is also formed here by a bridge 239 which extends transversely to the bottom of the camber 214. The bridge 239 may be integrally formed with the tub body 201 or its mounting plate as described above.

Here, the siphon 211 also continues through the end section 215 into the insertion funnel 28, which serves to achieve the correct position of the bath body 201 when inserted into the inner space guiding space of the bath holder 202. The correct position is roughly reached soon. As the bottom 209 of the tub body 201 approaches the bottom 222 of the tub holder 202, the waste tube 208, which is oriented in the vertical midline xx, is fed into the insertion funnel 218. With this controlled introduction of the waste tube 208 into the siphon 211. The tub body 201 has a sufficient clearance in the horizontal plane of several centimeters, so that the desired precise centering is achieved. Also in this case, the fitter of the bathtub body 201 can be fitted with a drain pipe 208, an overflow pipe 205 and an overflow 206 at the installation site. A siphon 211 is inserted into the bath holder 202 and aligns with the end section 215 then approaches as a positioning pin during assembly.

The siphon 211, which acts as a connection pipe 210, is again provided at its distal end 215 with the above-described means for connecting the outlet pipe 212, which is connected to the waste pipe 213.

-22EN 298530 B6

In summary, it is thus achieved by the play between the bath body 201 and the bath holder 202 that the bath body 201 is automatically connected. This applies to both acrylic baths and steel baths.
