Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wannenträger für verschiedenartige Badewannen etwa gleicher Randabmessungen, bestehend aus einem durch viereckige Außenflächen begrenzten Körper aus Polystyrol-Partikelschaum mit einer Dichte von 15-50 kg/m3, der von oben durch Einsetzen einer Badewanne in die dafür vorgesehene Ausnehmung (4), welche eine Erweiterung zur Aufnahme des Uberlaufrohres aufweist, abdeckbar ist und der von unten Ausnehmungen besitzt, von denen eine als Montagekammer ausgebildet ist, wobei die zur vertikalen Längsmittelebene symmetrisch ausgebildete obere Ausnehmung durch die Hüllfläche aus denjenigen außen liegenden Punkten, welche sich bei der Superposition aller Konturen der Becken verschiedenartig einzusetzender Badewannen ergeben, begrenzt ist.The invention relates to a tub support for different types of bathtubs of approximately the same edge dimensions, consisting of a body made of polystyrene particle foam delimited by square outer surfaces and having a density of 15-50 kg / m3, which is inserted from above by inserting a bathtub into the recess (4) provided for this purpose. , which has an extension for receiving the overflow pipe, can be covered and which has recesses from below, one of which is designed as a mounting chamber, the upper recess being formed symmetrically to the vertical longitudinal center plane through the envelope surface from those outer points which are in the superposition all contours of the basins result in bathtubs to be used in different ways.

Ein Wannenträger der genannten Art ist aus dem DE-U 8 507 269.9 bekannt. Die längsseitigen Außenflächen dieses Wannenträgers sind beide identisch ausgebildet und eine Erweiterung der Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme des Überlaufrohres ist nur an einer der beiden Schmalseiten des Wannenträgers vorgesehen.A tub support of the type mentioned is known from DE-U 8 507 269.9. The longitudinal outer surfaces of this tub support are both identical and an expansion of the recess for receiving the overflow pipe is only provided on one of the two narrow sides of the tub support.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Wannenträger zu schaffen, der neben dem Einbau aller, insbesondere zur vertikalen Längsebene symmetrischer Badewannen einer standardisierten Gruppe mit gleichen horizontalen Außenabmessungen, aber unterschiedlichen Formen des Beckens und Anordnung des Ablaufes, auch die Wahl des Ablaufendes und die Wahlmöglickeit der Sichtfiächen des Wannenträgers ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to provide a tub support which, in addition to the installation of all bathtubs, in particular symmetrical to the vertical longitudinal plane, of a standardized group with the same horizontal external dimensions but different shapes of the basin and arrangement of the drain, also the choice of the drain end and the choice the visible surfaces of the tub support.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die beiden längsseitigen Außenflächen unterschiedlich gestaltet sind und daß in jeder der beiden Schmalseiten innen eine Erweiterung der oberen Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme des Überlaufrohres vorgesehen ist, der jeweils eine Montagekammer zugeordnet ist.The object is achieved in that the two longitudinal outer surfaces are designed differently and that in each of the two narrow sides an extension of the upper recess for receiving the overflow pipe is provided, each of which is associated with an assembly chamber.

Mit dem neuen Wannenträger wird erreicht, daß der Bauherr noch kurz vor dem Einbau zwischen den beiden Seitenwänden als Sichtfläche wählen kann, gleichgültig an welchem Ende der Anschluß der Wanne angeordnet werden muß. Auf diese Weise wird die Lagerhaltung reduziert und die Entscheidungsfreiheit sozusagen bis zu letzten Moment offengelassen.With the new tub support, the client can choose between the two side walls as a visible surface shortly before installation, regardless of which end the connection of the tub must be arranged. In this way, the inventory is reduced and the freedom of choice is left open until the last moment, so to speak.

Die weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist den abhängigen Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.The further embodiment of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Weiter ist es erstaunlich, daß trotz der durch die größere Ausnehmung bedingten Reduzierung der Wanddicke und der fehlenden Anlage an die (Stahl)Badewanne eine ausreichende Stabilität des Wannenträgers mit Polystyrol-Partikel-Schaum bei einem speziellen Gewicht von 15 - 50 kg/m3, vorzugsweise 25 - 40 kg/m3, zu erzielen ist, welche insbesondere durch eine über die Montageöffnungen durchgehende Wandung noch unterstützt werden kann Diese Wandung wird nämlich erst, nachdem der Wannenträger auf dem Boden festgemacht ist, bei der Montage teilweise entfernt. So besitzt der Wannenträger sowohl für die Handhabung während der Montage als auch nach dem Befestigen auf dem Fußboden eine ausreichende Formfestigkeit. Aufgrund der großen Variabilität des Wannenträgers ist es möglich, auch die Seitenwände, beispielsweise durch Vorgabe einer Schräge oder eines Untertritts, verschieden zu gestalten. Durch Drehen des Trägers um die vertikale Achse kann der Bauherr noch auf der Baustelle festlegen, welcher er der verschieden gestalteten Seiten als Sichtfläche den Vorzug gibt.It is also astonishing that despite the reduction in wall thickness due to the larger recess and the lack of attachment to the (steel) bathtub, sufficient stability of the tub support with polystyrene particle foam with a special weight of 15-50 kg / m3, preferably 25 - 40 kg / m 3 can be achieved, which can be supported in particular by a wall that runs through the assembly openings. This wall is only partially removed during assembly after the tub support is fixed to the floor. So the tub support has sufficient dimensional stability both for handling during assembly and after fastening on the floor. Due to the great variability of the tub support, it is also possible to design the side walls differently, for example by specifying a slope or a step. By turning the beam around the vertical axis, the building owner can still determine on the construction site which of the differently designed sides he prefers as the visible surface.

Schließlich kann durch eine horizontale Vergrößerung der oberen Ausnehmung um wenige cm die Badewanne seitlich so verschoben werden, daß entweder ein Streifen entlang des Wannenträgers für die Verfliesung freibleibt oder die Badewanne unter den Wandfliesen zu liegen kommt, wodurch im letzteren Fall eine Dichtung entlang der Wand erleichtert wird.Finally, by horizontally enlarging the upper recess by a few cm, the bathtub can be moved laterally so that either a strip remains free along the tub support for tiling or the bathtub comes to rest under the wall tiles, which in the latter case facilitates a seal along the wall becomes.

Die Abstützung der Badewanne durch Elemente im Bereich des Bodens ist besonders vorteilhaft, da die senkrechten Kräfte auf kürzestem Wege in das Bauwerk übertragen werden.The support of the bathtub by elements in the area of the floor is particularly advantageous since the vertical forces are transmitted to the building in the shortest possible way.

Geeignet für einen solchen Zweck sind beispielsweise Elemente verschiedener Dicke, die je nach vorhandenem Zwischenraum ausgewählt werden. Das können angeschäumte, nebeneinanderliegende Rippen sein, von denen die nicht benötigten an Sollbruchstellen abgebrochen und entfernt werden. Auch linienförmige oder flache Einlagen mit verschiedener Höhe, die beispielsweise in einer Nut gegen Verschieben gehalten werden, sind denkbar, wobei sich als Werkstoff insbesondere dämmendes Material bewährt hat.Suitable for such a purpose are, for example, elements of different thicknesses, which are selected depending on the space available. These can be foamed, side by side ribs, from which the ones not required are broken off and removed at predetermined breaking points. Line-shaped or flat inserts with different heights, which are held, for example, in a groove against displacement, are also conceivable, with insulating material in particular having proven itself as the material.

Schließlich ist auch der Einsatz eines flachen Keils, der in Längsrichtung je nach Abstand des Wannenbodens verschiebbar ist, praktisch, da hierdurch Gefälle und Höhe einfach ausgeglichen werden können. Um ein Verschieben der Badewanne in dem Wannenträger parallel zur kurzen Seite zu vermeiden, können auf dem seitlich nicht verschiebbaren Keil noch Haftflächen angebracht werden, die beispielsweise mit einer Folie versehen sind, die kurz vor dem Einbau zur Verankerung des Bodens der Badewanne abgezogen wird.Finally, the use of a flat wedge, which can be moved in the longitudinal direction depending on the distance from the base of the tub, is also practical, since it enables the slope and height to be easily compensated. In order to avoid moving the bathtub in the tub support parallel to the short side, adhesive surfaces can be attached to the laterally non-displaceable wedge, which are provided, for example, with a film which is removed shortly before installation to anchor the bottom of the bathtub.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, vor Ort über Vertiefungen und/oder Kanäle ein Zweikomponentengemisch aus Polyurethan einzuführen, welches nach dem Ausschäumen und Härten die Badewanne mit dem Wannenträger fest verbindet, wobei über druckabbauende Drosselstellen der nicht benötigte Schaum in Hohlräume (Ausnehmungen) abfließen kann, um ein Heben der Badewanne zu vermeiden.Another possibility is to introduce a two-component mixture of polyurethane on site via depressions and / or channels, which firmly connects the bathtub to the tub support after foaming and hardening, the non-required foam being able to flow into cavities (recesses) via pressure-reducing throttling points, to avoid lifting the bathtub.

Zur Aufnahme der seitlichen Kräfte ist es vorteilhaft, zwischen Rand der oberen Ausnehmung bzw. oberem Bereich der Wandung des Wannenträgers und gegenüberliegender Außenfläche der Badewanne Halterungen anzubringen, die die Konstruktion aussteifen. Dadurch wird ein Kippen der Badewanne unterbunden und ein Abplatzen von Fliesen bei seitlich wirkenden Kräften wegen der dann nur noch geringen Verformungsmögli chkeit der Wandung vermieden.To absorb the lateral forces, it is advantageous to mount brackets which stiffen the construction between the edge of the upper recess or upper region of the wall of the tub support and the opposite outer surface of the bathtub. This prevents the bathtub from tipping over and prevents flaking of the tiles with lateral forces due to the then only slight deformation of the wall.

Zur Halterung eignet sich besonders gut ein Zweikomponentenschaum aus Polyurethan, der über Nuten oder offenen Hohlkammern der Wandung eingeführt wird. Nach dem Aufschäumen unter eventuellem Oberquellen des Schaumes an den Kerben und Aushärten sind Wannenträger und Badewanne fest miteinander verbunden.A two-component foam made of polyurethane is particularly suitable for mounting is inserted over grooves or open hollow chambers of the wall. After foaming, possibly causing the foam to swell at the notches and curing, the tub support and bathtub are firmly connected.

Eine andere Art der Aussteifung kann durch Abstandshalter zwischen Innenfläche der Wandung des Wannenträgers und der zum Wannenträger zugewandten Fläche der Badewanne erfolgen. Als Abstandshalter können einfache Klötzchen verwendet werden, die durch Kleben oder Nageln vor dem Einbau an den Wannenträger oder an der Badewanne befestigt werden. Eine bessere Lösung stellen Abstandshalter dar, wie Keile oder Exzenter, die auch nach dem Einsetzen der Badewanne durch Zugorgane oder Druckelemente verstellt werden können.Another type of bracing can be provided by spacers between the inner surface of the wall of the tub support and the surface of the bathtub facing the tub support. Simple blocks can be used as spacers, which are attached to the tub support or the bathtub by gluing or nailing before installation. Spacers, such as wedges or eccentrics, are a better solution and can also be adjusted by pulling elements or pressure elements after the bathtub has been inserted.
