Bathroom cabinet

The present invention relates to a bathroom cabinet for installation in a supply shaft, comprising a frame forming the base, the side walls and the lid, a rear wall closing the back of the frame and at least one door arranged on the front of the frame.

Bathroom cabinets for installation in a utility shaft are well known.

In the relevant industry, a supply shaft is a shaft that encloses supply lines mounted on a wall of a building, such as water and sewage pipes, gas pipes or the like. Such supply shafts are increasingly being used to mount sanitary facilities, including bathroom cabinets, directly on these supply shafts.

The supply lines mentioned have fittings that must be accessible through appropriate openings within a supply shaft.

Generally, these fittings are located at the height at which a bathroom cabinet is usually mounted.

Until now, it was necessary to completely remove a bathroom cabinet built into a supply shaft,

if access to the fittings of the supply lines behind it was required.

The present invention is based on the object of designing a bathroom cabinet of the generic type in such a way that a simplified possibility is created to enable access to fittings located behind the bathroom cabinet.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the rear wall is inserted into the frame from the door side and is detachably connected to the frame by fastening means that are also accessible from the door side.

This simple design measure makes it possible to remove the back wall from the bathroom cabinet after opening the bathroom cabinet door after removing the utensils stored in the bathroom cabinet and, if necessary, removing the intermediate floor, so that a continuous opening to the supply lines and fittings behind the bathroom cabinet is now created. The complete removal of the bathroom cabinet from the supply shaft is therefore no longer necessary, which also has the advantage that simplified measures can be used to secure the bathroom cabinet in a supply shaft.

Further features of the invention are the subject of subclaims.

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings and are described in more detail below. They show:

Twick & Lehrke

Figure 1 shows a vertical section through a bathroom cabinet according to the invention,

Figure 2 shows a horizontal section through the bathroom cabinet according to Figure 1,

Figure 3 is an enlarged view of a horizontal section of the bathroom cabinet according to Figures 1 and 2 in the side wall area,

Figure 4 shows a horizontal section corresponding to Figure 3

by a bathroom cabinet according to another embodiment of the invention.

The bathroom cabinet 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a frame consisting of the base 2, the side walls 3 and 4 and the lid 5. As Figure 1 in particular makes clear, this frame is closed at the back by a panel 6 fixed in the upper area and by a rear wall 8 closing the usable interior space 7 of the bathroom cabinet 1.

In the embodiment shown, the bathroom cabinet 1 has two pivoting door leaves 9 and 10 on the front.

The rear wall 8 is inserted into the frame from the door side and its lower edge 11 engages in a groove 12 in the base 2 that is open at the top. The rear wall 8 is supported on the edges and top by angle strips 13 that are connected to the frame. In order to prevent the rear wall 8 from tipping in the direction of

Twick & Lehrke

the door side, a rotary latch 14 is provided in the embodiment of the invention according to Figures 1 to 3, which fixes the rear wall 8 in the area of its upper side opposite the angle strip arranged there. This rotary angle 14 can be swiveled away to the side if necessary, so that the rear wall 8 can now be tilted towards the front or door side of the bathroom cabinet 1 and lifted out of the groove 12 and removed from the bathroom cabinet 1 towards the door side.

For this purpose, it is of course necessary to remove any intermediate shelf 15 from the bathroom cabinet 1.

In order to make it easier to insert or remove the rear wall 8 into or from the bathroom cabinet 1, a handle part 16 is attached to the inside of the rear wall 8. For the same purpose, the rear wall 8 could also be provided with handle openings.

Instead of the rotary latch 14, a fastening screw could also be provided to fix the rear wall 8, by means of which this rear wall 8 is fastened to one of the angle strips 13 or another frame part.

In the embodiment of the invention according to Figure 4, it is intended to equip at least the side walls 3 with a protruding support web 17 on which the rear wall 8 can rest. Figure 4 also shows that a floor support 18 for an intermediate floor 15 can be used to fix the rear wall 8 if this is inserted into the side wall 3 or 4 while resting against the rear wall 8, as shown in Figure 4.
