Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeckvorrichtung für Aussparungen verfliester Wände, mit einem Fliesendeckel od. dgl. und einer in die Aussparung einsetzbaren Deckelhalterung, wobei dem Fliesendeckel eine Handhabe zum Öffnen zugeordnet ist.The invention relates to a covering device for cut-out tiled walls, with a tile cover or the like. And a cover holder which can be inserted into the cut-out, a handle for opening being assigned to the tile cover.

Solche Abdeckvorrichtungen sollen trotz einer vorhandenen Aussparung das Bild einer durchgehenden Wandverfliesung vermitteln, so daß sich die erforderlichen Deckel,ohne den optischen Eindruck der Verfliesung zu beeinträchtigen, in den durch die Aussparung.gegebenen Freiraum zwischen den verlegten und verfugten Wandfliesen passend einfügen müssen. Um dabei störende Beschläge und Handknöpfe zu vermeiden, werden die Deckel an den verschiedensten Deckelhalterungen, seien es feste oder verstellbare Rahmen oder einzeln versetzbare Halterungsteile, über Steckverbindungen, Magnetverschlüsse od. dgl. fixiert und zum Öffnen bzw. Abnehmen der Deckel gibt es bisher als Losteile vorgesehene Sauger. Allerdings können diese Sauger meist nicht in der Nähe der Deckel aufgehoben werden und gehen leicht verloren. Außerdem sind die Sauger auf Grund ihrer Staubempfindlichkeit nicht sehr zuverlässig in ihrer Wirkung und daher auch recht unpraktisch zu bedienen.Such covering devices should convey the image of a continuous wall tiling despite an existing recess, so that the required cover, without adversely affecting the visual impression of the tiling, must fit into the free space between the laid and grouted wall tiles provided by the recess. In order to avoid disturbing fittings and hand buttons, the lids are attached to a wide variety of lid mounts, whether fixed or adjustable frames or individually displaceable bracket parts, via plug connections, magnetic locks or the like, and there are previously loose parts for opening or removing the lids provided suction cups. However, you can these suction cups are usually not picked up near the lid and are easily lost. In addition, due to their sensitivity to dust, the suction cups are not very reliable in their effect and therefore also quite impractical to use.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu beseitigen und eine Abdeckvorrichtung der eingangs geshilderten Art zu schaffen, die sich jederzeit schnell und mühelos betätigen läßt.The invention is therefore based on the object to eliminate these deficiencies and to provide a covering device of the type described at the outset, which can be operated quickly and effortlessly at any time.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß als Handhabe ein rand- oder rückseitig am Fliesendeckel befestigter, beweglicher Griffteil dient, der eine an die Fugenstärke der Verfliesung angepaßte Breite aufweist und bei geschlossenem Fliesendeckel von einer aus der Randfuge zwischen Deckel und angrenzenden Fliesen vorragenden Gebrauchslage in eine sich innerhalb der Randfuge erstreckende Ruhelage bewegbar ist, Dieser bleibend am Deckel befestigte Griffteil steht ohne langes Suchen immer zur Verfügung und bleibt in seiner Ruhelage, in der er in ' der Randfuge eingebettet ist, praktisch unsichtbar. Soll der Deckel geöffnet oder abgenommen werden, braucht der Griffteil lediglich aus der Randfuge heraus in die Gebrauchslage gebracht zu werden und erlaubt ein bequemes Hantieren des Deckels. Nach dem Schließen wird dann der Griffteil wieder in die Randfuge eingebracht und damit aus dem Blickfeld gerückt. Zum Herausholen des Griffteiles aus der Randfuge genügen, wenn Finger und Fingernagel unzureichend sind, einfache, überall vorhandene spitze Hilfsmittel, wie Nadeln, Haarspangen, Nagelfeilen, Scheren, Messer, Zahnstocher u. dgl., so daß das öffnen des Deckels nie Schwierigkeiten bereiten kann.The invention solves this problem in that a handle, which is attached to the tile cover on the edge or on the rear, serves as a handle, has a width adapted to the joint thickness of the tiling and, when the tile cover is closed, it protrudes from a position of use protruding from the edge joint between cover and adjacent tiles a rest position extending within the edge joint is movable, this grip part permanently attached to the lid is always available without a long search and remains practically invisible in its rest position, in which it is embedded in the edge joint. If the lid is to be opened or removed, the grip part only needs to be brought out of the edge joint into the position of use and allows the lid to be handled comfortably. After closing, the handle part is then reinserted into the edge joint and thus moved out of sight. To remove the grip part from the edge joint, if fingers and fingernails are inadequate, simple, everywhere aids such as needles, hair clips, nail files, scissors, knives, toothpicks and the like. Like. So that opening the lid can never be difficult.

Der Griffteil ist mit geringstem Aufwand in verschiedenster Form herstellbar und montierbar, beispielsweise kann er aus einem mit einem abgewinkelten Ende schwenkbar an der Deckelrückseite befestigten Stück Draht od. dgl. bestehen. Dieser in sich steife Draht oder Kunststoffteil wird mit seinem abgewinkelten Ende durch eine Lasche od. dgl. an der Deckelrückseite montiert, so daß er sich um das abgewinkelte Ende dem Deckelrand entlang aus der Gebrauchslage in die Ruhelage und umgekehrt verschwenken läßt. Bestet hingegen der Griffteil aus einem einerends am Deckel befestigten Stück Schnur od. dgl., braucht diese Schnur auf Grund ihrer Eigenbeweglichkeit mit einem Ende lediglich fest an der Deckelrückseite oder am Deckelrand fixiert zu werden, um funktionstüchtig zu sein.'Es kommt zu einer besonders einfachen Ausgestaltung, wobei durch entsprechende Farbgebung der Schnur sogar eine Anpassung an die jeweilige Fugenmassentönung, der Verfliesung möglich ist.The handle part can be produced and assembled in a wide variety of forms with minimal effort, for example it can consist of a piece of wire or the like which is pivotably attached to the back of the cover with an angled end. This stiff wire or plastic part is mounted with its angled end through a tab or the like on the back of the lid, so that it can be pivoted around the angled end along the edge of the lid from the position of use to the rest position and vice versa. If, on the other hand, the handle part consists of a piece of cord or the like attached to one end of the lid, this cord only needs to be fixed firmly at one end to the back of the lid or to the edge of the lid due to its flexibility, in order to be functional simple design, with the appropriate coloring of the cord even making it possible to adapt the tiling to the respective grout mass.

Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes in schematischer Draufsicht.The drawing shows an embodiment of the subject of the invention in a schematic plan view.

Um in einer Wandverfliesung 1 eine Aussparung 2 ohne merkbare Unterbrechung der Verfliesung abdecken zu können, ist ein Fliesendeckel 3 mit einer an die Verfliesung angepaßten Gestaltung vorgesehen, der über Magnete 4 an einer aus einzelnen in den Aussparungsecken sitzenden Winkelstücken 5 bestehenden Deckelhalterung fixiert werden kann. Als Handhabe zum Öffnen des Deckels 3 dient ein Griffteil 6, der in seiner Breite an die Stärke der Randfuge 7 zwischen Deckel 3 und Wandverfliesung 1 angepaßt ist und in einer Ruhelage innerhalb dieser Randfuge 7 liegt. Der Griff teil 6 ist beweglich und läßt sich aus der Randfuge 7 heraus in eine vorragende Gebrauchslage bringen, wozu er lediglich mittels eines gerade zur Verfügung stehenden spitzen Gegenstandes aus der Randfuge herausgehoben werden muß. Der Griffteil 6 kann ein Stück Schnur od. dgl. sein, das an der Deckelrückseite festgeklebt ist, oder er kann auch ein Stück Draht od. dgl. sein, das auf Grund seiner Steifigkeit mittels eines abgewinkelten Endes 8 schwenkbar an der Deckelrückseite beispielsweise durch ein dieses abgewinkelte Ende 8 überbrückendes Klebeplättchen 9 befestigt wird. Auf besonders einfache und geschickte Weise ergibt sich so eine bleibend mit dem Deckel 3 verbundene Handhabe zur raschen Betätigung der Abdeckvorrichtung.In order to be able to cover a recess 2 in a wall tiling 1 without a noticeable interruption of the tiling, a tile cover 3 with a design adapted to the tiling is provided, which can be fixed via magnets 4 to a cover holder consisting of individual angle pieces 5 seated in the recess corners. A handle part 6 is used as a handle for opening the cover 3, the width of which is adapted to the thickness of the edge joint 7 between the cover 3 and the wall tiling 1 and lies in a rest position within this edge joint 7. The handle part 6 is movable and can be brought out of the edge joint 7 into a protruding position of use, for which it only has to be lifted out of the edge joint by means of a pointed object that is currently available. The handle part 6 can be a piece of cord or the like, which is glued to the back of the lid, or it can also be a piece of wire or the like, which due to its rigidity by means of an angled end 8 can be pivoted on the back of the lid, for example by a this angled end 8 bridging adhesive plate 9 is attached. In a particularly simple and clever manner, this results in a handle permanently connected to the cover 3 for rapid actuation of the covering device.
