DE3309178A1 - Channel in particular for laying in the floor of a wet room - Google Patents

Abstract

A channel consisting of a material section, in particular for laying in the floor of a wet room, for example in food factories, which is preferably made from nickel chromium steel, is to be considerably improved in its handling, and to be precise both with regard to transporting and installation conditions and with respect to the factory conditions. This is achieved in that the longitudinal groove bounded by two side walls is bounded by ridge walls inclined outwards on both sides at an entry angle, forming a channel opening which widens downwards in cross-section and adjoined by the side walls. In addition, the ridge walls, although made of thin sheet metal, should be stable owing to fixed angle sections, the angle of which is advantageously as large as the size of the entry angle + 90 DEG . By virtue of these conditions, a channel neck is produced which, despite a small width of the longitudinal groove, allows good access and easy inspection and is thus simple to clean.

Description

Channel especially for laying in the floor of a

Wet room The invention relates to a channel made of a material profile especially for laying in the floor of a wet room, especially a channel made of chrome-nickel steel For food companies, with two side walls and attached to them laterally cantilevered support legs limited longitudinal slot.

Such channels are for installation in so-called hygiene rooms known, the relatively narrow distance of, for example, 20 mm between the mutually parallel side walls delimiting that longitudinal slot do the cleaning makes the gutter almost impossible. Fixing the gutter in the floor itself takes place through welded wall anchors, which facilitate handling both during installation as well as making it considerably more difficult to transport to the construction site.

In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set himself the goal of a channel of the type mentioned, which is preferably made of chrome-nickel steel is to improve significantly in their handling, both in terms of the transport and installation conditions as well as the operating conditions.

To solve this problem, the longitudinal slot on both sides leads to outwardly inclined at an entrance angle, one cross-sectional downwards ridge walls forming widening gutter opening to which the side walls adjoin connect. Thanks to this, a gutter neck is created which, despite its small width the longitudinal slot allows good access with a favorable view and thus simply keeping it clean.

Around the ridge walls, which are inclined apart, despite the thin sheet metal to get stable, these are reinforced according to the invention by fixed angle profiles, the angle of which is advantageously as large as the dimension of the input angle + 9o0; by this stipulation, the free leg of the bracket protrudes horizontally and can serve for the detachable fixing of adjusting screws, which according to the invention are parallel protrude to the vertical side walls of the channel over this down and up can be placed on the unfinished floor. The screw head of the adjusting screws is preferred thanks to two nuts able to measure the relative distance between the channel bottom on the one hand and adjusting screw end on the other hand, so that a very simple adjustment of the gutter on the unfinished floor is possible, which is then able to be fixed in a mortar bed.

If adjusting screws are not to be used, the free Legs of the angle profile in the context of the invention as a holding member for one used with a fastening screw to be attached wall anchors.

This eliminates the need for bulky anchoring elements for transport, which according to the invention are only attached to the construction site.

Overall, therefore, the requirement is met by the channel according to the invention fulfilled after better handling both during installation and during operation, in addition, their stability is increased by the reinforced flank walls.

Further advantages, features and details of the invention result can be derived from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment as well based on the drawing; this shows in its single figure the cross section through a floor structure 1 of a wet room not shown, for example in a food company, a laundry or the like.

In the floor structure 1 there is a heptagonal cross-section drainage channel 10 relocated, the visible surface 12 offered by two support legs 11 with the surface 3 of a floor covering 5 is aligned.

The illustrated cross section of that drainage channel 10 consists of two - In the installed state, vertical and at a clear distance e of, for example, 60 mm extending - gutter walls 13, downwards to these at 0 in each case the same angle w of 60 subsequent gutter bottom strips 14 and the gutter walls 13 upwards with the formation of a starting angle t of 150 continuing ridge walls 15 together; of these go to the bottom surface 3, releasing a longitudinal slot 20 a width b of 20 mm that horizontal support leg 11 from the end towards are folded down. The lateral edging strips 16 thus created are shown in FIG the floor covering 5 embedded. The mortar bed of the floor structure that can be seen under this 1 is denoted by 7.

Since the bottom strips 14 of the drainage channel 10 towards the leaf background are inclined upwards, the drawing shows the end contour at 17; the channel height h that can be measured there is at least 63 mm, the front height i about 110 mm.

Angle profiles 22 are provided on the outer sides 21 of the ridge walls 15 an opening angle z of 600 welded, the free legs 23 in holes Take up 24 adjusting screws 25. The standing end 26 of each adjusting screw 25 rests on base plates 27, which in turn lie in the mortar bed 7 on the unfinished floor 9.

In the left half of the figure there is one screwed onto the angle profile Wall hook 30 indicated, which is held by a nut 31; this can be part the adjusting screw 25 or a connecting screw, not shown.

In the case of the drainage channel 10 described, it is of particular importance that the ridge walls 15 on both sides of the longitudinal slot 20 at an angle x of preferably 300 immediately below the visible surface 12 at an incline and also through the angle profiles 22 are laterally heavily reinforced, the latter both for the Attaching the adjusting screws 25 as well as for wall anchors 30 can be used.
