Description

The The invention relates to a shower tray element, preferably manufactured from a rigid foam, in particular EPS, XPS or a rigid polyurethane foam, with an overflow of a drain grate process, wherein the shower floor element in a, possibly first, gradient area has a slope towards the expiry and a second one Receiving area, the one to the slope area Angled extending extension plane, in which receiving area a drain part is included.

Such shower floor elements have already become known in various embodiments. For example, on the DE 20 2005 018 684 U1 , the DE 20 2005 004 179 U1 and the DE 20 2005 012 327 U1 to refer.

With regard to procedures, reference is also made to state of the art according to the 10 2004 025 874 A1, DE 10 2005 025 658 A1 and DE 20 2005 018 838 U1 ,

Out show such shower floor constructed shower seats usually a slope towards an expiration. This but also restricts the design of the process, since the drain must be located at the lowest point. insofar is looking for advantageous solutions.

Of these, Based on the object of the invention, a shower floor element to indicate this with regard to the procedure or a related matter Cover, for example, a grate over this, is favorably designed.

A possible solution of the task is after a first Inventive concept given by the subject of claim 1, in this case it is pointed out that the elongated Process two adjacent in the extension direction sections each having a different coverage Extend angles to the horizontal, such that surface areas the cover an angle of less than 180 ° with each other lock in. An elongated process is given, though the extent in one direction is greater than in the other. So basically a rectangular process. Further preferred, for example, a gutter. This corresponds the extent in one direction two or more times, preferably five or more times the extension into the other Direction. With regard to the cover, it is not necessary to act a rusty cover. An area of the process can also be used, for example, as an inspection opening (only) be educated. However, preference may also be given in the area of the inspection opening one drain slot or more drain slots may be provided. There is a design found that is an adaptation of the process or its cover or a drainage grate overflowing the drain at an angle to the formation of the slope Surface of the shower floor element provides. The sequence or the cover or the drain grate can already in one Be provided area of the shower floor element, not the deepest Level of shower floor element corresponds. It is at the same time a favorable one Gradient reached towards the expiration.

In Further concretization can be provided that a drain grate is provided, which is elongated (to the meaning of elongated in detail also to the above statements referenced) is formed, that the drain grate partially in the first slope area and partly in the receiving area that extends the drain grate two together in their extension plane an angle of less than 180 ° grating surface areas and that the rust surface areas accordingly the bend between the slope area and the receiving area run angled to each other.

Further Features of the invention are below, also in the figure description, often in their preferred association with the subject-matter of the claim 1 explained. But you can also do it in an assignment to only individual features of claim 1 or each independently be significant.

So it is preferred that the drain grate has a rectangular plan having. Deviating from this, the floor plan, for example, hexagonal or be star-shaped, also trapezoidal or square. It is also preferred that grate surface areas extending at an angle to one another extend over one another In contrast, horizontally extending section with each other are connected. Such a design thus leads that the drain grate has at least three different rust surface areas. One that runs in a straight line or horizontally and two contrast, kinked extending surface areas. The latter then usually run in a plane surface, although here in principle also a vault or further bend could be provided.

insofar is also preferably provided that the shower floor element at least has two slope areas whose planes extend to cut. In the deepest area is then usually the drain part arranged to drain out so then the areas.

The drain grate as such is still ahead zugt taken in a gutter and formed the gutter according to the angled portion of the drain grate with angled extending bottom surfaces.

Further it is preferred that the gutter underside an annular collar having. Such an annular collar is particularly advantageous when the captured in the shower floor element expiration part, which ultimately the derivative of the absorbed liquid makes thereto adapted adapted, namely a recess or has a projection with which the annular collar form fit (preferably in the horizontal direction) cooperates. So is a cheap one Installation aid specified. In addition, the below may be even closer explained, with appropriate training of gradients the shower floor element also a twist of the drain grate be made until last. The ring collar can hereby sit on a plateau of the drain part, such that a shift in a horizontal direction to some extent, for example, by +/- 5 mm.

Prefers is also that the different slopes of the Shower floor element each have the same slope. This in turn is in particular in connection with the above Aspect essential. If these gradients are the same Have slope and on the expiry of the same Distance, in its lowest area or at the transition, if necessary in a horizontal area, just the simple rotation of the Drain grate or the process in total just before final Completion of the shower floor space, so in particular a tiling, without further be made.

below the invention is further described with reference to the attached drawing, however, which illustrates only exemplary embodiments, explains Hereby shows:

12 a representation according to 4 , with a uniform large tiling;

13 a perspective view of another shower floor element;

14 a side view of the article according to 13 ,

Shown and described, first with reference to the 1 to 7 , a shower floor element (see 6 . 7 ), which consists of an EPS particle foam.

The shower floor element 1 may be covered with a primer layer. This adhesive layer can be configured in various ways. For example, it may consist of a non-reactive dispersion, for example an acrylate dispersion and optionally enriched with organic and / or mineral fillers. It can also consist of a plastic mortar combination. These are understood in particular to mean mixtures of hydraulically setting binders (for example Portland cement). These may have mineral additives and / or organic additives and / or polymer dispersions as a proportion. In addition, the coating may consist of another mortar coating. The coating can only be on the upper side or completely superficially on the shower floor element 1 be upset.

The shower floor element 1 has a procedure 2 on and various slope areas a, b, c, and d, of which each of the gradient areas a and c to the process 2 have a slope. With regard to a rectilinear section 3 of the procedure 2 have all gradients a to d a slope to the process 2 towards. The showerbo denelement 1 further comprises a receiving area e, which has an angled to one of the gradient areas a to d extending extension plane, namely in the embodiment, a horizontal extension plane. In this receiving area e is a drain part 4 taken, ie in the embodiment already firmly in the shower floor element 1 integrated. To the drain section 4 closes below a drain fitting with odor trap in the usual way.

The sequence 2 exists in more detail, as in particular from 3 results from a gutter 5 , in which a drain grate 6 is included. The drain grate 6 lies only in the gutter 5 free. It can therefore be removed in particular for cleaning purposes by hand.

It is an elongated drain grate, the total has a rectangular floor plan.

Here is a long edge side of the drain grate 6 , For example, formed with the two to ten times the length of the short edge side. The drain grate 6 , in the embodiment together with the gutter 5 , Partially extends in a first and second gradient region b and d and partially in the horizontal region or receiving area e.

The drain grate 6 has in the embodiment of 1 to 7 three with each other in their direction of extension at an angle of less than 180 ° enclosing grate surface areas f, g and h. The angles which in each case enclose surfaces extending in these surface regions are slightly smaller than 180 °, for example in the range of 175 ° to 179 °. These angles correspond to the angles which include corresponding surfaces of the shower tray element in the areas d, e and b with each other.

The underside shows the rust 6 or specifically the gutter 5 a for example by adhesive bonding attached collar 7 on. This is the embodiment of a round collar. It fits into a recess created by a step 8th of the drain part 4 (please refer 7 ). As a result, a rotation of the already inserted process 2 be made in a simple manner on the site, for example, in the embodiment of 4 process 2 from the position shown in a rotated by 90 ° to rotate position.

In the embodiment of 4 already the shower area is drawn in tiled state including a portion of the shower floor element 1 subsequent floor area. At first, however, only the process is in the urverfliestem state 2 placed and aligned as he is desired for visual or other reasons.

Accordingly, the reference numeral 9 indicated in the drawing, a tiling. It can also be another sanitary surface. The tiling does not have to be miniaturized in the usual way. It can also be composed of a few large tiles, as for example in 12 is indicated.

The mentioned possible rotation of the process 2 Before application of the tiling is of course only possible if, with regard to the different slope areas of the shower floor element 1 Same geometric relationships, ie the same slope, are realized and the same distance to the area e or the central arrangement of the drain part 4 ,

Out 7 it can be seen that the collar 7 sitting on a plateau of the drain part 4 , a displacement of the gutter 5 in the horizontal direction allows. In the drawing, although the sanitary surface is now up to immediately adjacent to the upturned edge of the gutter 5 shown. In this installed state, accordingly, the shift is no longer possible. But it's about the certain freedom in the arrangement before the sanitary surface is finally applied.

In the embodiment of the 8th to 10 are in terms of the process 2 given the same basic conditions, except that here the process 2 only two different rust surface areas f, g, a preferably horizontally extending in the installed state rust surface area g and a contrast angled extending rust surface area f.

In the bottom view according to 9 it can be seen that here too the ring collar 8th is realized.

In 11 is the shower floor element 1 shown in the unflagged, not installed state, which is again clearly seen here, in what a simple way the drain part 4 between different positions, which - in this embodiment are basically four different positions possible - before tiling still can be fitted differently on the site.

In 12 a corresponding tiled arrangement is shown, here with a drain grate according to 1 , The tiling is composed of a few large tiles.

With reference to 13 is a shower floor illustrated element having a drain, which consists of two channel-like sections 10 . 11 and a merging area connecting them 12 which may also be addressed as a sequence in the sense of the preceding embodiments.

As can be seen from the illustration according to 14 is the convergence area 12 , which in turn may have drainage openings or a grate, but may also have a closed cover, arranged to extend horizontally, ie parallel to a horizontal H. In particular also with regard to its cover 13 , On the other hand, the trough-like sections 10 . 11 with an angle alpha (in 14 exaggerated) to the drain part 4 sloping down. In particular, the cover runs 14 a gutter-like expiration section 4 at said angle alpha to the horizontal H.

Next is the cover 14 level surface in the slope area A of the adjacent surface of the shower floor element over. This at least in the tiled state or covered with a sanitary surface state. Otherwise, a lowering may be given here first, which is then compensated by tiles or other sanitary surface.

The same applies to the surface area b.

The covers close clearly 13 . 14 an angle beta to each other which is smaller than 180 °. In the exemplary embodiment, it is preferably in the range of 160 ° to 178 °, whereby hereby also all intermediate values, including in 1/10 ° steps, are included in the disclosure.

This Angle Beta is also important in the same way the embodiments described above.

In the embodiment of 13 and 14 results in a self-angle beta with respect to the surface areas of the sections 10 and 12 ,

The gutter-like 10 and 12 extend in a plan view of the shower tray element preferably at a right angle to each other.

All disclosed features are essential to the invention (in itself). In the disclosure of the application is hereby also the disclosure content the associated / attached priority documents (Copy of the advance notice) fully included, too for the purpose, features of these documents in claims present Registration with.
