Abstract

The invention relates to a temporary downpipe, having an adapter with a pipe socket for receiving a pipe socket of a downpipe or a drain pipe of a flat roof and at least one fastening device for fastening to a rain gutter or a flat roof, at least one flexible, tubular hose, and at least one fastening means for fastening the hose on the adapter.

Description

The invention relates to a temporary downpipe that can be attached, for example, to a pipe socket of a downpipe.

Provisional downpipes are known in principle. These are used, for example, if no downpipe, which creates a connection between the pipe socket and a drain arranged in the floor, is installed. A rain gutter, which is also referred to as a gutter, can already be installed with a pipe socket on a newly built or renovated building at this point.

Without a temporary downpipe, the collected rainwater runs uncontrolled through the pipe socket and wets, soils and/or damages, for example, a facade of the building, a scaffolding and/or a garden.

This is why makeshift downpipes are used, which create a temporary connection between the pipe socket and a drain arranged in the floor. Foil hoses are usually used for this purpose, which are fixed to the pipe socket with cable ties, duct tape and/or clamps.

However, these connections often break. The foil hoses can also tear, so that the rainwater runs off uncontrollably. Therefore, previous provisional downpipes are associated with a high maintenance effort.

It is an object of the invention to create a temporary downpipe and a method for installing a temporary downpipe which reduces the maintenance effort.

This problem is solved by the subject matter and the method of the independent claims.

According to the invention, the temporary downpipe has an adapter with a pipe receptacle for receiving a pipe socket of a downpipe or a drain pipe of a flat roof.

The temporary downpipe can therefore be used on different roof types with and without rain gutters. The temporary downpipe can also be used mobile on various construction sites. While conventional temporary downpipes are designed for single use, the temporary downpipe according to the invention is reusable, for example.

Preferably, the temporary downspout temporarily accommodates the stub of a downspout or a flat roof drainpipe until the final downspout is installed. At its lower end, the temporary downpipe can, for example, open into a drain arranged in the ground and can be fastened to it, for example. In this way, the temporary downpipe can establish a connection between the pipe socket or drain pipe and a drain.

The tube receptacle can be designed as a tubular socket. The pipe holder is preferably adapted to the shape of the pipe socket or the drain pipe. For example, the tube receptacle can have a rectangular, round or oval cross-sectional area.

The size of the cross-sectional area can be adapted to the size of the pipe socket or the drain pipe. With a round pipe socket or drain pipe, the diameter of the pipe socket can be between 5 cm and 20 cm, e.g. 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 11 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm , 18 cm, 19 cm or 20 cm.

For example, the tube receptacle can also taper from top to bottom. An upper section of the tube receptacle can thus have a larger cross-sectional area than a lower section of the tube receptacle.

The tube receptacle can preferably have at least one seal, e.g. a sealing ring.

The adapter has at least one fastening device for fastening to a rain gutter or a flat roof.

Fastening to a gutter also includes fastening in a gutter.

As a gutter in the sense of the invention, the gutter itself and not the downpipe or the pipe socket is to be understood.

Secure attachment can take place via the attachment device, so that unintentional loosening is prevented.

It is preferably a detachable attachment device, i.e. the adapter is not permanently connected to the gutter or flat roof.

For example, the fastening device can be designed for tool-free fastening of the adapter to the gutter.

The temporary downpipe has at least one flexible, tubular hose.

The hose is consequently bendable. For example, the hose can be curved and/or guided in a curved path.

The hose is therefore not designed as a rigid tube.

The tubular hose can have, for example, a rectangular, oval or round cross-sectional area.

For example, the outer perimeter may have a rigid structure. In contrast to pure film tubes, the tubular shape is retained over the entire length of the tube.

The peripheral structure of the hose is preferably stable. For example, the hose cannot be squeezed and/or folded.

In the unbent state, the tube can preferably have a cylindrical shape.

The tube may comprise or consist of a plastic and/or metal material. For example, the tube can be a film tube with an incorporated steel wire.

The hose can, for example, have a length between 0.5 m and 10 m, preferably between 1 m and 5 m. Preferably, the length may be 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, 7.5m, 8m, 9m, 10m or more . Thus, the hose can be easily transported.

The temporary downpipe has at least one attachment means for attaching the hose to the adapter. The fastening means can be designed, for example, as a clamping means.

For example, two, three, four or more fasteners can be provided.

Secure attachment can take place via the attachment means, so that an unintentional loosening is prevented.

Preferably the attachment means is releasable, i.e. the hose is not permanently attached to the adapter, although this is also conceivable.

For example, the fastening means can be designed to fasten the hose to the adapter without the use of tools.

Thanks to the adapter and the stable hose, the maintenance effort can be kept to a minimum, since unintentional loosening and tearing of the hose are prevented. The rainwater therefore always runs off in a controlled manner. The quality of a temporary downpipe is also improved.

Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

According to one embodiment, the fastening device protrudes beyond the tube receptacle.

For example, the fastening device can extend further upwards than the tube receptacle. This enables easy attachment to the rain gutter or flat roof.

According to a further embodiment, the fastening device has at least or precisely one hanging device for hanging in the rain gutter.

The temporary downpipe or adapter is attached to the rain gutter using the suspension device.

The hanging device can be designed, for example, as a bent sheet metal.

For hanging, the hanging device can have an undercut, for example.

Two or more suspension devices can preferably be provided. The suspension devices can be arranged, for example, on opposite sides of the pipe holder. In this way, the adapter can be hung on both sides of the rain gutter at the same time. The two suspension devices prevent the temporary downpipe from twisting and thus from unintentionally detaching from the rain gutter.

According to a further embodiment, the fastening device has at least one plate with at least one hole for screwing to the flat roof.

The adapter is preferably screwed to the underside of the flat roof.

The plate can, for example, form part of a bent metal sheet.

The plate preferably has a plurality of holes. The plate and thus the adapter can be attached to the flat roof via the holes, e.g side of a ceiling and/or on a wall.

According to a further embodiment, the fastening means has at least one bracket.

Two, three, four or more brackets are preferably provided.

The bracket can, for example, be fixed firmly to the adapter.

For example, the bracket can engage in a contour of the hose, preferably a contour of a hose connection.

According to a further embodiment, the hose has a first hose connection at one end area and a second hose connection at the other end area.

The first hose connection has a larger cross-sectional area than the second hose connection.

In the case of a round hose diameter, the diameter of the first hose connection is consequently larger than the diameter of the second hose connection. The diameter can for example be between 5 cm and 20 cm, for example 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 11 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm, 19 cm or 20 cm , amount.

The tube itself may preferably have a constant cross-sectional area. For example, a round hose can have a hose diameter between 5 cm and 20 cm, e.g. 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 11 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm, 19 cm or 20 cm.

The hose connections are preferably firmly and/or permanently connected to the hose, e.g. glued, pressed, welded and/or soldered.

Compression can preferably take place from the inside to the outside.

A rigid ring, for example made of stainless steel, can be provided on the inside and/or outside.

The hose end is preferably fixed with an adhesive dot and pressed between two metal parts, for example metal rings.

The cross-sectional area of a lower section of the tube receptacle can, for example, be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first hose connection.

The cross-sectional area of the lower section of the tube receptacle preferably corresponds to the cross-sectional area of the second hose connection.

In this way, the first hose connection can be pushed over the lower section of the pipe holder, e.g.

The hose connection can be multifunctional. The hose connection can be used for attaching to the pipe mount of the adapter and for attaching several hoses to one another. For example, the hose connection can also be used to attach to a drain adapter for a drain.

The hose connection can have a groove, for example an annular one, and/or a projection, for example an annular one, for the fastening means, for example a bracket and/or a clip. The fastening means can, for example, engage in the groove or the projection.

All connections, e.g. the hose connections, can preferably have a seal, e.g.

For example, the hose connections also close tightly if sections of the hose are routed horizontally or in a curved path.

The hose connectors may preferably comprise or consist of a metal material, such as stainless steel.

According to a further embodiment, at least two hoses are provided, which can be or are connected to one another in a modular manner.

For example, the hoses, preferably the hose connections of the hoses, can be plugged into one another. In this way, the total length can be adjusted as desired to the individual circumstances.

According to a further embodiment, at least one hose attachment means, preferably a bracket and/or a clamp, is provided, via which the hoses can be or are connected to one another.

For example, two, three, four or more brackets can be provided. Alternatively, for example, exactly one clamp can be provided.

The hose attachment means is preferably fixed and/or non-detachable to the hose bound, eg glued, pressed, welded and/or soldered.

In this way, the hoses can be detachably connected to one another, preferably without tools.

According to a further embodiment, the hoses are of different lengths.

However, the hose connections of the hoses of different lengths are preferably constructed in the same way, so that the hoses are compatible with one another.

Hoses of different lengths or of the same length can thus be connected to one another as desired in order to achieve a desired overall length.

The temporary downpipe can therefore be used in a variety of ways.

The invention also relates to a kit with a temporary downpipe and at least one additional flexible hose of the same or different length. A plurality of hoses can preferably be provided. Optionally, the kit can have a drain adapter.

The kit can optionally have a fastening device for fastening to a rain gutter or a fastening device for fastening to a flat roof. Alternatively, the kit can also have both fastening devices, in which case the corresponding fastening device can be used depending on the intended use.

Finally, the invention relates to a method for installing a temporary downpipe according to the invention on a pipe socket of a downpipe or a drain pipe of a flat roof.

The pipe holder of the adapter takes the pipe socket of the downpipe or the drain pipe of the flat roof. To do this, the pipe holder can be placed over the pipe socket of the downpipe or the drain pipe of the flat roof.

The adapter is attached to the gutter or the flat roof via the at least one attachment device. For example, the hanging device is hung in the rain gutter. Alternatively, a plate is screwed to the flat roof.

The at least one flexible hose is attached to the adapter with the at least one attachment means, for example by means of a bracket.

Depending on the overall length required, several hoses can be connected to one another in a modular fashion. For this purpose, the hose connections can be plugged into one another. Fastening can be done by means of brackets and/or clamps.

Finally, a hose end can optionally be plugged into a drain adapter of a drain and, if necessary, attached to it.

All of the embodiments and components of the device described here are preferably designed to be assembled using the method described here. Furthermore, all of the embodiments of the device described here and all of the embodiments of the method described here can be combined with one another, preferably also detached from the specific configuration in the context of which they are mentioned. For example, the fastening device can have both a hanging device for hanging in a rain gutter and a plate for fastening to a flat roof.
