Abstract

Arranged in a tiled wall 1 is an orifice 2 which can be closed by means of a cover 3. The cover 3 consists of a plastic plate 4, to which tiles 5 are adhesively bonded. On the top side of the cover 3, a conventional catch 7 is screwed to the plate 4, with a small plate 6 interposed, and has a roller 8 mounted on arms 9 which can be displaced inwards counter to the force of a spring. Opposite the catch 7, a gutter-shaped section 10 is glued to the plate 4 and extends essentially over the entire width of the plate 4. Glued to the underside of the orifice 2 is a strip 11 which engages into the gutter 12 of the section 10. For interaction with the roller 8 of the catch 7, a T-shaped section 15 is glued to the upper edge of the orifice 2, its web 16 being cut out in the region of the catch 7. The arrangement shown provides a cover which is especially simple to handle. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Halterung für die lösbare, fluchtende Abdeckplatte einer Öffnung in einer Fliesenwand.The invention relates to a holder for the releasable, aligned cover plate of an opening in a tile wall.

Bekannte Halterungen sind mit federnden Schnappern versehen, die gegenüber den gleichfalls bekannten Halterungen mit Permanentmagneten den Vorteil haben, daß auch bei einem etwas ungenaueren Einbau eine sichere Befestigung erreicht wird, weil zufolge der federnden Wirkung der Schnapper auch dann eine genügend große Haltekraft erreicht wird, wenn diese Schnapper nicht genau im Zentrum des Gegenelementes zu liegen kommen. Bei den aus der AT-A-382.666 des Anmelders bekannten Halterungen waren zwei an verschiedenen Kanten der Abdeckung angeordnete Schnapper vorgesehen und die Abdeckung konnte durch Kippen aus der Öffnung entfernt werden. Um die Abdeckung in die gleiche Ebene mit der umgebenden Wand zu bringen, waren zusätzliche Anschläge für die Abdeckung angeordnet, die entsprechend ausgerichtet werden mußten.Known mounts are provided with resilient snaps, which have the advantage over the also known mounts with permanent magnets that secure attachment is achieved even with a somewhat less precise installation, because due to the resilient action of the snappers, a sufficiently large holding force is also achieved when these snaps do not come to rest exactly in the center of the counter element. In the holders known from the applicant's AT-A-382.666, two snaps arranged on different edges of the cover were provided and the cover could be removed from the opening by tilting. In order to bring the cover in the same plane with the surrounding wall, additional stops for the cover were arranged, which had to be aligned accordingly.

Bei den z.B. aus der AT-A-355 281 bekannten Halterungen mit Magneten waren überdies Verstellvorrichtungen für die Magnete erforderlich.With e.g. Adjustments for the magnets were also required from the holders with magnets known from AT-A-355 281.

Aus der US-A-3,491.486 ist eine Halterung für die lösbare Abdeckung einer Öffnung bekannt, bei der sowohl oben als auch unten an der die Öffnung abdeckenden Platte federnde Leisten befestigt sind, die rinnenförmige Ausformungen aufweisen. In der Öffnung sind Erhebungen vorgesehen, in die die rinnenförmigen Ausformungen der federnden Leisten beim Aufschieben der Platte einrasten. Eine derartige Halterung ist für Öffnungen in Fliesenwänden nicht brauchbar, weil das verhältnismäßig große Gewicht von Fliesen eine solche federnde Befestigung auch an der Unterseite der Öffnung nicht zuläßt. Es ist mit einer solchen Halterung insbesondere nicht möglich, eine einheitliche Fugenbreite zwischen den Fliesen zu erreichen, was für Fliesenwände jedoch wesentlich ist.From US-A-3,491,486 a holder for the releasable covering of an opening is known, in which resilient strips are attached to the plate covering the opening, both at the top and at the bottom, which have trough-shaped formations. Elevations are provided in the opening, into which the trough-shaped formations of the resilient strips when the plate is pushed on click into place. Such a bracket is not useful for openings in tile walls, because the relatively large weight of tiles does not allow such a resilient attachment to the underside of the opening. With such a bracket, it is in particular not possible to achieve a uniform joint width between the tiles, but this is essential for tile walls.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, eine Halterung der eingangs beschriebenen Art so zu verbessern, daß ein einfacheres Versetzen möglich ist. Erreicht wird dies durch eine Halterung für die lösbare, fluchtende Abdeckplatte einer Öffnung in einer Fliesenwand, wobei die Halterung aus oberen und unteren sowohl an der Abdeckplatte als auch am Innenrand der Öffnung befestigten und zusammenwirkenden Halteelementen besteht, wobei einerseits mit dem unteren Innenrand der Öffnung ein L- oder T-förmiges Profil mit einem nach oben weisenden Schenkel verklebt ist, der in eine Rinne eines Profiles eingreift, das am unteren Rand der Abdeckplatte mit dieser verbunden ist und andererseits mit dem oberen Innenrand der Öffnung ein ebenfalls L-oder T-förmiges Profil verklebt ist, das mit dem oberen Halteelement der Abdeckplatte zusammenwirkt und dessen nach unten weisender Schenkel als Anschlag für die Abdeckplatte dient. Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Halterung braucht an einer Seite der Halterung nur Schenkel und Rinne ineinandergeschoben zu werden, worauf die andere, mit dem oberen Halteelement, insbes. dem Schnapper versehene Seite in die Öffnung eingedrückt wird. Trotz dieser einfachen Handhabung ist beim Versetzen einer erfindungsgemäßen Halterung weniger Sorgfalt erforderlich, als bei den bekannten Halterungen, trotzdem wird eine exakte Einpassung der mit den aufgeklebten Fliesen versehenen Platte erreicht.The invention has set itself the goal of improving a bracket of the type described in the introduction so that it is easier to move. This is achieved by a holder for the releasable, aligned cover plate of an opening in a tiled wall, the holder consisting of upper and lower holding elements fastened and interacting both on the cover plate and on the inner edge of the opening, one hand with the lower inner edge of the opening L-shaped or T-shaped profile is glued to an upward-pointing leg, which engages in a groove of a profile which is connected to the lower edge of the cover plate and, on the other hand, also an L-shaped or T-shaped one to the upper inner edge of the opening Profile is glued, which cooperates with the upper holding element of the cover plate and whose downward leg serves as a stop for the cover plate. In the case of a holder according to the invention, only one leg and groove need be pushed into one another on one side of the holder, whereupon the other side, provided with the upper holding element, in particular the catch, is pressed into the opening. Despite this simple handling, less care is required when moving a holder according to the invention than with the known holders, nevertheless an exact fit of the plate provided with the glued-on tiles is achieved.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich ferner auf ein Verfahren zum Versetzen einer Halterung der genannten Art.The invention further relates to a method for moving a holder of the type mentioned.

Bei bekannten Verfahren wird vorerst die Halterung, die aus einem Rahmen oder Rahmenteil besteht, in der Öffnung befestigt und dann, nach entsprechender Anpassung der Plattengröße an die Öffnungsgröße, die Platte in die Öffnung eingesetzt und die Fliesen auf die Platte aufgeklebt. Das Aufkleben der Fliesen auf die in der Öffnung stehende Platte ist verhältnismässig kompliziert und kann auch nicht mit der gewünschten Genauigkeit vorgenommen werden. Bei den bekannten Anordnungen bedarf es daher auch, wie bereits erwähnt wurde, einer Verstellvorrichtung, mit der die mit den Fliesen versehene Abdeckplatte der ungebenden Fliesenwand angepaßt werden kann. Solche Verstellvorrichtungen, die z.B. aus schraubbaren Magneten bestehen, verteuern die Halterung und sind auch nicht sehr einfach zu handhaben.In known methods, the holder, which consists of a frame or part of the frame, is initially fastened in the opening and then, after correspondingly adapting the plate size to the opening size, the plate is inserted into the opening and the tiles are glued to the plate. Gluing the tiles to the plate in the opening is relatively complicated and cannot be done with the desired accuracy. In the known arrangements, therefore, as already mentioned, an adjustment device is required with which the cover plate provided with the tiles can be adapted to the existing tile wall. Such adjustment devices, e.g. consist of screwable magnets, make the bracket more expensive and are not very easy to use.

Ein weiteres Ziel der Erfindung ist daher, ein Verfahren zu schaffen, mit dem die Halterung einfacher und genauer als bisher versetzt werden kann. Erreicht wird dies mit einem Verfahren zum Versetzen einer Halterung mit einer Abdeckplatte für eine Öffnung in einer Fliesenwand, wobei die T- oder L-förmigen Profile der Halterung mittels eines Klebers am oberen und unteren Innenrand der Öffnung angebracht werden, wobei der Kleber eine derart ausreichend offene Zeit besitzt, daß die Abdeckplatte so lange in der Öffnung verschoben werden kann, bis die Oberflächen von Fliesenwand und Abdeckplatte in einer Ebene liegen. Bei Anwendung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens können die Fliesen außerhalb der Öffnung auf die Platte geklebt werden, wodurch eine gleichmässigere Oberfläche entsteht, und das Einrichten der Abdeckplatte kann erfolgen, ohne daß es besonderer Verstellvorrichtungen bedarf.Another object of the invention is therefore to provide a method with which the holder can be moved more easily and precisely than before. This is achieved with a method for moving a holder with a cover plate for an opening in a tiled wall, the T-shaped or L-shaped profiles of the holder being attached to the upper and lower inner edge of the opening by means of an adhesive, the adhesive being sufficient in this way has open time that the cover plate can be moved in the opening until the surfaces of the tile wall and cover plate lie in one plane. When using the method according to the invention, the tiles can be glued to the plate outside the opening, which creates a more uniform surface, and the cover plate can be set up without the need for special adjustment devices.

Bei Wahl eines Klebers mit entsprechend langer offener Zeit bleibt auch genügend Zeit, damit die Platte nach dem Anbringen der Halterung in der Öffnung größenmässig der Öffnung angepaßt wird und daß anschließend die Fliesen auf die Platte aufgeklebt werden.When choosing an adhesive with a correspondingly long open time, there is also enough time for the plate to be adapted to the size of the opening after the holder has been fitted in the opening and for the tiles to subsequently be glued to the plate.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung an Hand von in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen: Fig.1 die Aufsicht auf den Teil einer verfliesten Wand mit einer eingesetzten erfindungsgemäßen Abdeckplatte; Fig.2 in stark vergrößertem Maßstab einen Schnitt längs der Linie II-II in Fig.1; Fig.3 die Rückansicht der Abdeckplatte nach Fig.1 ohne montierten Schnapper; Fig.4 eine der Fig.2 ähnliche Darstellung einer etwas abgeänderten Ausführungsform mit einer in die Randfuge eingeschobenen Handhabe.The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. 1 shows the top view of the part of a tiled wall with an inserted cover plate according to the invention; Figure 2 in a greatly enlarged scale a section along the line II-II in Figure 1; 3 shows the rear view of the Cover plate according to Fig. 1 without a snapper installed; 4 a representation similar to FIG. 2 of a somewhat modified embodiment with a handle inserted into the edge joint.

Gemäß Fig.1 ist in einer Fliesenwand 1 eine Öffnung 2 angeordnet, die durch eine Abdeckplatte 3 verschlossen werden kann. Im gezeichneten Beispiel besteht die Abdeckplatte 3 aus einer Kunststoffplatte 4, auf die Fliesen 5 aufgeklebt sind.According to Figure 1, an opening 2 is arranged in a tile wall 1, which can be closed by a cover plate 3. In the example shown, the cover plate 3 consists of a plastic plate 4, on which the tiles 5 are glued.

An der oberen Seite der Abdeckplatte 3 ist unter Zwischenlage eines Plättchens 6 mit der Platte 4 ein handelsüblicher Schnapper 7 verschraubt, der eine Rolle 8 aufweist, die auf Armen 9 gelagert ist, die gegen die Kraft einer Feder nach innen zu verschiebbar sind.On the upper side of the cover plate 3 with the interposition of a plate 6 with the plate 4, a commercially available snapper 7 is screwed, which has a roller 8 which is mounted on arms 9 which can be moved inwards against the force of a spring.

Gegenüberliegend dem Schnapper 7 ist mit der Platte 4 ein rinnenförmiges Profil 10 verbunden, das sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der Platte 4 erstreckt. An der Unterseite der Öffnung 2 ist ein T-förmiges Profil 13 befestigt, dessen nach oben weisender Schenkel 11 in die Rinne 12 des Profiles 10 eingreift und dessen Flansch 14 mit dem Rand der Öffnung 2 verklebt wird.Opposite the catch 7, a channel-shaped profile 10 is connected to the plate 4 and extends essentially over the entire width of the plate 4. On the underside of the opening 2, a T-shaped profile 13 is attached, the upward-pointing leg 11 engages in the groove 12 of the profile 10 and the flange 14 is glued to the edge of the opening 2.

Zum Zusammenwirken mit der Rolle 8 des Schnappers 7 ist ein ebenfalls T-förmiges Profil 15 mit dem oberen Rand der Öffnung 2 verklebt, dessen im Bereich des Schnappers 7 ausgeschnittener Schenkel 16 als Anschlag für die Abdeckplatte 3 dient.To cooperate with the roller 8 of the catch 7, a likewise T-shaped profile 15 is glued to the upper edge of the opening 2, the leg 16 cut out in the region of the catch 7 serves as a stop for the cover plate 3.

Die Platte 4 ist zweckmäßig mit Löchern 18 versehen, um den Fliesenkleber 17 besser zu verankern. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit ist in Fig.3 nur eine Lochreihe dargestellt. Auf der Rückseite der Platte 4 (Fig.3) sind Stege 19 angeordnet, die im Zusammenwirken mit dem Profil 10 die Platte 4 verstärken.The plate 4 is expediently provided with holes 18 in order to better anchor the tile adhesive 17. For reasons of clarity, only one row of holes is shown in FIG. On the back of the plate 4 (Fig.3) webs 19 are arranged, which reinforce the plate 4 in cooperation with the profile 10.

Beim Versetzen der Halterung werden vorerst die Profile 13 und 15 mittels eines Klebers in der Öffnung 2 provisorisch befestigt. Der Kleber wird dabei so ausgewählt, daß er eine ausreichend offene Zeit besitzt, d.h. die Profile können noch einige Zeit lang in der Öffnung verschoben werden, bis der Kleber soweit ausgehärtet ist, daß eine feste Verbindung erfolgt ist. Derartige Kleber sind bekannt, so könnte z.B. Silikon verwendet werden.When moving the bracket, the profiles 13 and 15 are temporarily fixed in the opening 2 by means of an adhesive. The adhesive is selected so that it has a sufficiently open time, ie the profiles can be moved in the opening for some time until the adhesive has hardened to such an extent that a firm connection has taken place. Such adhesives are known, for example silicone could be used.

Anschließend wird überprüft, ob die Größe der Platte 4 der Größe der Öffnung 2 entspricht, die Platte eventuell gekürzt und schließlich werden die Fliesen aufgeklebt. Da sich die Platte 4 dabei außerhalb der Öffnung befindet, können der Fliesenkleber und die Fliesen ohne Schwierigkeiten gleichmässig auf die Platte aufgebracht werden.Then it is checked whether the size of the plate 4 corresponds to the size of the opening 2, the plate may be shortened and finally the tiles are glued on. Since the plate 4 is located outside the opening, the tile adhesive and the tiles can be applied evenly to the plate without difficulty.

Nun wird die Abdeckplatte 3 so schräg in die Öffnung eingeführt, daß der Schenkel 11 in die Rinne 12 eingeschoben wird. Anschließend wird die Abdeckplatte 3 in die Öffnung 2 hinein verschwenkt, bis die Rolle 8 in die in Fig.2 dargestellte Lage hinter den Anschlag 20 gelangt.Now the cover plate 3 is inserted obliquely into the opening so that the leg 11 is inserted into the channel 12. Then the cover plate 3 is pivoted into the opening 2 until the roller 8 reaches the position shown in FIG. 2 behind the stop 20.

Da der Kleber, mit dem die Profile 13 und 15 befestigt wurden, noch nicht ausgehärtet ist, kann die Abdeckplatte 3 mit den Profilen 13 und 15 in der Öffnung 2 so lange verschoben werden, bis die Oberflächen der Fliesenwand 1 und der Abdeckplatte 3 in einer Ebene liegen. Nach dem Aushärten des Klebers kann die Abdeckplatte 3 bei Bedarf geöffnet und auch wieder geschlossen werden.Since the adhesive with which the profiles 13 and 15 have been fastened has not yet hardened, the cover plate 3 with the profiles 13 and 15 can be moved in the opening 2 until the surfaces of the tile wall 1 and the cover plate 3 in one Level. After the adhesive has hardened, the cover plate 3 can be opened and closed again if necessary.

Mittels des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens können nicht nur Abdeckplatten versetzt werden, die mit einem Schnapper versehen sind, wenn sich auch solche Abdeckplatten als besonders zweckmässig erwiesen haben. Es ist aber auch das Versetzen von Abdeckplatten möglich, bei denen z.B. Haltemagnete verwendet werden. Bei diesen bekannten Anordnungen besteht die Halterung meist aus einem geschlossenen Rahmen aus L-förmigen Profilen, an dem die Magnete befestigt sind. Wird dieser Rahmen mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens versetzt, ergibt sich ebenfalls eine wesentliche Arbeitsvereinfachung und überdies kann die sonst erforderliche Verstellbarkeit der Magnete entfallen.The method according to the invention can be used not only to cover plates which are provided with a catch, even if such cover plates have also proven to be particularly expedient. But it is also possible to move cover plates in which e.g. Holding magnets are used. In these known arrangements, the holder usually consists of a closed frame made of L-shaped profiles to which the magnets are attached. If this frame is moved with the aid of the method according to the invention, this also results in a significant simplification of work and, moreover, the otherwise necessary adjustability of the magnets can be dispensed with.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.4, in der für gleiche Teile die gleichen Bezugszeichen wie in Fig.2 verwendet sind, ist auf die obere Seite der Abdeckplatte 3 ein U-förmiges Blechstück 26 geschoben, mit dem der Schnapper 7 verschraubt ist. Zum Zusammenwirken mit der Rolle 8 des Schnappers 7 ist ein Profil 25 am oberen Rand der Öffnung 2 eingeklebt, dessen Steg im Bereich des Schnappers 7 ausgeschnitten ist.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, in which the same reference numerals are used as in FIG. 2 for the same parts, a U-shaped sheet-metal piece 26 is pushed onto the upper side of the cover plate 3, with which the catch 7 is screwed. To interact with the roller 8 of the catch 7, a profile 25 is glued to the upper edge of the opening 2, the web of which is cut out in the region of the catch 7.

Beim Verschließen der Öffnung wird die Abdeckung so wie vorstehend beschrieben wurde so schräg in die Öffnung eingeführt, daß der Schenkel 11 in die Rinne 12 eingeschoben wird. Anschließend wird die Abdeckplatte 3 in die Öffnung 2 hinein verschwenkt, bis die Rolle 8 in die in Fig.4 dargestellte Lage hinter die Erhebung 28 des Profiles 25 gelangt, wobei der Schnapper an einem Schenkel 27 dieses Profiles anliegt.When closing the opening, the cover is inserted so obliquely into the opening as described above that the leg 11 is inserted into the channel 12. Subsequently, the cover plate 3 is pivoted into the opening 2 until the roller 8 reaches the position shown in FIG. 4 behind the elevation 28 of the profile 25, the catch resting on a leg 27 of this profile.

Zum Öffnen der Abdeckplatte 3 ist eine Handhabe vorgesehen, die aus einem Plättchen 30 besteht. Dieses Plättchen weist eine federnde Zunge 31 auf, die aus dem Plättchen ausgestanzt und herausgebogen ist. Das Material des Plättchens 30 und insbesondere der Zunge 31 hat Federungseigenschaften und ist zweckmässig Kunststoff. Es könnte aber auch ein Metallplättchen sein.To open the cover plate 3, a handle is provided which consists of a plate 30. This plate has a resilient tongue 31 which is punched out of the plate and bent out. The material of the plate 30 and in particular of the tongue 31 has resilience properties and is expediently plastic. But it could also be a metal plate.

Wird das Plättchen in die Randfuge 32 zwischen der Abdeckplatte 3 und der Fliesenwand 1 eingeschoben, federt die Zunge 31 vorerst zurück und legt sich anschließend gegen die Rückseite der Abdeckplatte 3. Dieser Zustand ist in Fig.4 dargestellt. Es ist somit sehr leicht möglich, durch Anziehen am Plättchen 30 die Abdeckplatte 3 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn aus der Öffnung 2 herauszuschwenken, wobei die Rolle 8 über die Erhebung 28 hinweggleitet.If the plate is inserted into the edge joint 32 between the cover plate 3 and the tile wall 1, the tongue 31 springs back for the time being and then lies against the back of the cover plate 3. This state is shown in FIG. It is therefore very easily possible to pivot the cover plate 3 counterclockwise out of the opening 2 by tightening the plate 30, the roller 8 sliding over the elevation 28.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich. So könnten bei größeren Abdeckplatten mehrere Schnapper an der einen Seite der Abdeckplatte angeordnet werden. Der Schenkel 11 und insbesondere auch das Profil 10 könnte in mehrere Teile aufgelöst sein. Auch könnte die Rinne 12 am Innenrand der Öffnung 2 und der Schenkel 11 an der Abdeckplatte 3 angeordnet werden.Numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. In the case of larger cover plates, several snaps could be arranged on one side of the cover plate. The leg 11 and in particular also the profile 10 could be broken down into several parts. The groove 12 could also be arranged on the inner edge of the opening 2 and the leg 11 on the cover plate 3.
