Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to bathroom plumbing fixtures and their installation.

In particular, the invention relates to the installation of a wall-mounted toilet seat and an arrangement designed therefor.

In detail, the invention relates to a method for installation and an arrangement for carrying out the installation according to the preamble of claim 1.

BACKGROUND

Wall-mounted toilet seats offer several advantages. They allow the toilet cistern to be neatly accommodated in the wall, resulting in a clean wall surface. In addition, space is often saved because the protrusion of the actual toilet seat from the wall is smaller than with a seat with an integrated container. The problem with toilet seats with a tank built into the wall is protecting the space for the tank in the wall from possible leaks and condensation. The space for the tank must at least be sealed, or preferably a water collection tray must be installed at the bottom of the room. An overflow pipe can be led from the water collection tray into the bathroom area. The overflow pipe ventilates the room and indicates possible leaks in the form of overflowing water that appears on the bathroom floor. The space for the tank is tight, which makes installing a seal or the water sump difficult and time-consuming. Ensuring adequate sealing is also a problem.

There is therefore a need to create a more practical and safer structure for collecting condensate and in the event of leaks.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is to create a novel arrangement for the humidity control of the room for the tank of a wall-mounted toilet seat. The arrangement includes a protective cover provided with a trough. For example, it has an arrangement for penetrating the toilet seat waste pipe and an overflow pipe for condensation or water leakage. Other aspects may include protective walls of the pool, which may extend along one or more edges away from the pool, i.e. upward from the bottom of the installed pool. A slope is formed at the bottom of the basin, which directs the water collected in the basin to the overflow pipe.

The invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterizing parts of the independent claims.

According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a protective enclosure comprising: a basin comprising a floor with a slope and a rim extending from the surface of the floor with the slope, the rim consisting of two opposing short walls and two opposite long walls, an arrangement for passing the waste pipe of the toilet seat through the floor and a drain pipe laid out at the collection point of the slope. The protective housing fits into the space of the tank of the wall-mounted toilet seat and the waste pipe of the toilet seat is passed through a grommet and sealed, the tank with its water connections is fitted into the space for the tank and the space for the tank is closed to the wall form so that the drain pipe leads through the wall into the bathroom area.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the assembly comprises: a protective housing comprising a basin having an inclined floor and a rim extending from the inclined surface of the floor, the rim having two opposing short walls and two opposing long ones Walls, an arrangement for passing the waste pipe of the toilet seat through the floor and a drain pipe laid out at the collection point of the slope.

EMBODIMENTS

DEFINITIONS

In this context, the term "upward direction" means the direction in which free-flowing water arrives, or conversely, the direction opposite to the Earth's gravity. As a rule, this direction is outside the level of the installation surface.

The wall-mounted toilet seat is an attractive element in the bathroom as it illustrates the layout of the bathroom fittings. Since the toilet seat water tank and its connectors are located within the wall structure, the wall surface is flat and only the seat itself protrudes from the wall surface. However, since the water tank is designed within the wall structure, the installation space of the water tank must be provided with protection against condensate and water leakage. This arrangement includes a basin which forms the water collecting part, and at least part of the sides of the basin are provided with protective walls to prevent splashing water and other moisture from entering the structures surrounding the water tank of the toilet seat. The drainage of the collected water into the bathroom space and the penetration of the toilet seat sewer pipe is designed in conjunction with the basin.

1 shows an embodiment of the invention. The arrangement comprises a protective housing with a basin 1, which has an inclined floor 2 and an edge extending away from the surface with an inclined floor 3, the edge consisting of two opposite short walls 4, 5 and two opposite long walls, the first long Wall 6 and the second long wall 7. Here the slope is formed by three triangular flat surfaces connected to each other at their edges. One of the flat surfaces is connected to another long wall on its long side and the other two are connected to short walls on one side. Each of the flat surfaces forms a small angle with the wall to which it is connected. They thus form an inclination towards the tip of the flat surface which is connected to the second long side 7. The purpose of the slope is to catch any condensation at the lowest point of the slope. To ensure the correct position of this slope, the protective housing must be positioned so that the surface 3, which has the slope, faces upwards.

At the bottom of the basin 1 there is an arrangement for passing the waste pipe of the toilet seat through the floor. The feedthrough arrangement 8 is an annular collar which extends upwards from the plane of the inclined surface. The height of the collar should be high enough to prevent even a moderate amount of seepage water from flowing over the lip of the collar. The collar, like any other condensation protection, does not need to be sized for catastrophic failure and leakage, as in such a situation overflow will quickly occur if the leakage is not detected in time. In the feedthrough arrangement 8, the collars could be the only necessary element, since the waste pipe installed therein carries the water out of the toilet seat and neither condensation nor leakage water should go beyond the lip of the collars. A sealing element, e.g. B. a rubber seal can be used, or sealant can be used to improve sound insulation or for additional security. Normally the sewer pipe is located on the centerline of the structure so that the natural position of the bushing assembly 8 is along the centerline of the protective housing. The position of the grommet assembly 8 can be changed for different toilet seat structures. In this example, the collection point of the gradient is in the middle of the basin 1 in the middle of the first long side 6. A drain pipe 9 is laid out at this collection point of the gradient. The water collected in the basin 1 is led through the bathroom wall to the bathroom floor by means of the drain pipe 9. The condensate can be safely drained onto the bathroom floor as the bathroom is a wet area. Normally it is condensate The amount is small and evaporates on the ground or is drained into the sewage system. In the event of a leak, a larger amount of water is detected and corrective measures can be taken. Again, the location of the drain pipe can be varied, but if it is placed in the middle of the bowl, the pipe remains invisible behind the toilet seat. The shape of the inclination of the basin 1 and the position of the drain pipe 9 must be coordinated with one another. The drain pipe can be chromated or otherwise coated or made of a material with the desired appearance so that it matches the rest of the bathroom's appearance.

The protective housing must be installed in an enclosed space before installing the toilet seat. A wall-mounted toilet seat is attached to a separate frame or to a support structure embedded in the wall. The toilet seat's water tank with its water inlets and waste water connections is located in the installation space behind the supporting structure. The protective housing is laid out in this room, then the water tank is laid out in it and the necessary connections are made. The rear wall of the installed protective housing, i.e. the second long wall 7, is dimensioned so that it extends at least partially into the area of the pipe connections and even over the lower edge of the water tank and thus protects the rear wall of the installation space from moisture. The short walls 4, 5 extend to the same height as the second long wall. The first long wall is significantly lower. The protective housing is therefore at least partially open from the side of the bathroom wall. In this way, the water tank, its connections and the toilet seat connections can be placed in an open space. After installation, the side of the first long wall of the protective casing can be closed with a separate protective panel or, if desired, with a moisture-proof structure of the bathroom wall structure.

In the structure described above, one long wall, the second long wall 7, extends further from the inclined surface 3 of the pool 1 than the opposite long wall, the first long wall 6, to form a high protective wall behind the water tank. The short walls 4, 5 on the sides of the long walls 6, 7 extend to the same height as the high protective wall to form a U-shaped protective structure. This U-shaped protective structure can be divided into two parts, as in 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 shown. The first U-shaped protective part 10 extends from the edge structure of the pool 1 and may be an integrated or a removable part. The second U-shaped protective part 11 has the same profile shape as the first U-shaped protective part 10. They are connected to one another in extension to one another by a connecting collar 12. The connecting collar 12 can z. B. be a pin-socket connection formed on the U-shaped protective parts 10, 11 or a separate connecting collar. If desired, a separate connecting collar 12 can also be used to attach the protective housing to the support structure.

The side opposite the surface 3 with the inclination of the pool 1 is provided with a base. The base is a rim partially surrounding the pool, the height of which is at least equal to the height of the slope of the pool, so that the protective housing remains on the base during installation and the bottom of the pool does not touch the installation surface. In this way, the protective housing is securely attached. 2 , 3 and 4 show a structure of the base. There is a foot 13 in the form of a railing at the location of each short wall 4, 5 as well as the first long wall 6 and the second long wall 7. Each foot 13 only extends over part of the length of the corresponding wall. This makes it easier to lay out the stand on the surface as there is no closed, unventilated space under the pool. Alternatively, the base can be designed with rod-like legs, tubes or even a separate base.

The protective housing, the sewer pipe bushing and the drain pipe consist of a single piece. The U-shaped protective parts can also be made of the same piece as these. On the one hand, the structure can be divided into separate parts in many ways to facilitate installation and transportation. On the other hand, a unitary structure may be easier to install in some locations and it may seal better due to the lack of seams.

Injection molded plastics are primarily used as construction material. However, it is obvious that many composite and polymer materials as well as metals are also possible.
