Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Armaturenblock einer Wannen­einfassung aus Kunststoffschaum.The invention relates to a valve block of a tub surround made of plastic foam.

Beim Badezimmer wird immer mehr die Auffassung vertre­ten, daß neben dem rein funktionalen Zweck der Reinigung dieses auch durch wohnliche Gestaltung dem Wohlebefinden der Menschen während ihres Aufenthalts zu dienen hat. Hierzu werden insbesondere freistehende größere oder kleinere Wannen mit Einfassung versehen, die gleich­zeitig als Ablageflächen dienen und zum bequemen Sitzen einladen.In the bathroom, the view is increasingly being taken that, in addition to the purely functional purpose of cleaning, this also has to serve the well-being of people during their stay through a homely design. For this purpose, freestanding larger or smaller tubs are provided with edging, which also serve as storage areas and invite you to sit comfortably.

Die bisherigen Armaturen haben eine sehr geringe Aus­ladung, daher müssen auch aus Bedienungsgründen Ventile und Ausläufe am Rande der Wanne, d.h. im Bereich der Wanneneinfassung, angeordnet werden. Die Montage dieser Armaturen ist insbesondere, wenn die Wannen aus wärme- und schalltechnischen Gründen durch Kunststoffschaum getragen oder verkleidet sind, schwierig.The previous fittings have a very small projection, therefore valves and spouts must also be arranged on the edge of the tub, ie in the area of the tub surround, for operational reasons. The assembly of these fittings is particularly difficult if the tubs are supported or clad by plastic foam for thermal and acoustic reasons.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es einen Armaturenblock zu finden, der eine gute Wärme- und Schalldämmung besitzt, der eine sichere Aufnahme und Befestigung der Armaturen bei einfachem Einbau in verschiedenen Bereichen der Wanneneinfassung erlaubt und der ohne Veränderung auch als Blindblock mit geschlossenen Wandungen, d.h. ohne Durchbrüche, eingebaut werden kann.The object of the invention is to find a fitting block which has good thermal and acoustic insulation, which allows the fittings to be securely received and fastened with simple installation in various areas of the bath surround and which, without modification, can also be used as a blind block with closed walls, i.e. without openings, can be installed.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein innerhalb der Wanneneinfassung befestigbarer Armaturen­block aus Kunststoffschaum eine Ausnehmung besitzt, die mindestens nach einer Seite mit Durchbrüchen versehen ist. Weitere Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteran­sprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved in that a fixture block made of plastic foam which can be fastened within the tub surround has a recess which is provided with openings at least on one side. Further embodiments are described in the subclaims.

Durch diese Erfindung ist es möglich Vormontagen bei gün­stiger Lage im Armaturenblock vorzunehmen, bevor dieser dann anstelle eines anderen Elementes im gewünschten Bereich der Wanneneinfassung eingesetzt wird. Die Be­festigung kann durch Noppen, Nut/Feder und/oder durch Kleben erfolgen.With this invention, it is possible to carry out pre-assemblies in a favorable position in the valve block before it is then used instead of another element in the desired area of the tub surround. The attachment can be done by knobs, tongue and groove and / or by gluing.

Der Armaturenblock weist eine Ausnehmung als Montageraum auf, die im allgemeinen nach oben einen oder mehrere Durchbrüche für den Einbau der Armaturen besitzt. Bei quaderförmiger Außengestalt des Armaturenblockes sind insbesondere gegenüber zwei durchbrochenen, anein­andergrenzenden Flächen zwei geschlossene Flächen an­geordnet, so daß dieser durch Drehen von 180° um eine Achse, die parallel zur Außenfläche verläuft, sowohl für den Einbau der Armaturen als auch in Form eines Blend-Elementes eingesetzt werden kann.The valve block has a recess as an assembly space, which generally has one or more openings at the top for the installation of the valves. In the case of a cuboid-shaped outer shape of the valve block, two closed surfaces are arranged, in particular opposite two perforated, adjoining surfaces, so that the latter can be rotated by 180 ° about an axis which runs parallel to the outer surface can be used for the installation of the fittings as well as in the form of a blend element.

Weiter ist mindestens eine Verstärkungseinlage vorge­sehen, die aus einem Gewebe, einem Geflecht, einer Folie oder einer festen Platte bestehen kann.Furthermore, at least one reinforcing insert is provided, which can consist of a fabric, a mesh, a film or a solid plate.

Schließlich gibt es noch innerhalb des Armaturenblockes, insbesondere aber am Rande, volle Wandteile, die mit Schlitzen bzw. Ausnehmungen für Verankerungsplatten ver­sehen sind und die Bohrungen zur Sichtseite für die Unterbringung der Verankerung der Abdeckplatte be­sitzen.Finally, there are still full wall parts within the fitting block, but especially at the edge, which are provided with slots or recesses for anchoring plates and which have holes on the visible side for accommodating the anchoring of the cover plate.

Als Werkstoffe sind alle Schaumstoffe geeignet. Vorzugs­weise wird ein geschäumtes Polystyrol mit einer Dichte von 25-50 kg/m³, insbesondere von 35-40 kg/m³ verwen­det.All foams are suitable as materials. A foamed polystyrene with a density of 25-50 kg / m³, in particular of 35-40 kg / m³ is preferably used.

Ein Beispiel der Erfindung ist in der perspektivischen Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher be­schrieben.An example of the invention is shown in the perspective drawing and is described in more detail below.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Wannenträger 1 einschließlich Wanneneinfassung 2 dargestellt, wobei diese Konstruktion aus einem oder mehreren Teilen bestehen kann. In der vorderen Längsseite ist ein zum besseren Verständnis teilweise herausgezogenes Element 3, welches die gleiche Höhe wie die Wanneneinfassung besitzt, eingezeichnet, wobei deutlich Nut 4 und Feder 5 als Befestigungsele mente zu erkennen sind. An der hinteren Längsseite ist ein ebenfalls teilweise herausgezogener Armaturenblock 6 angeordnet. Er besitzt eine Ausnehmung 7 als Montage­kammer, die in der gezeichneten Lage mit einem Durch­bruch 8 nach innen und einen Durchbruch 9 nach oben ver­sehen ist, während der Boden (nicht sichtbar) und die äußere Wandung 11 eine geschlossene Fläche bilden.In the drawing, a tub support 1 including tub surround 2 is shown, which construction can consist of one or more parts. In the front long side, an element 3 is drawn out for better understanding, which has the same height as the tub surround, clearly showing groove 4 and tongue 5 as fastening elements elements are recognizable. On the rear long side, a valve block 6 is also partially pulled out. It has a recess 7 as an assembly chamber, which in the position shown is provided with an opening 8 inwards and an opening 9 upwards, while the bottom (not visible) and the outer wall 11 form a closed surface.

Die vollen Wandteile beiderseits der Montagekammer ent­halten Freiräume 12 bzw. horizontale Schlitze 13 für Konterplatten oder Schrauben, wobei von oben eine Bohrun 14 vorgesehen ist, durch die ein Anker der Abdeckplatte (nicht dargestellt) geführt werden kann. In der Aus­nehmung 7 sind Verstärkungen 15 aufgeklebt.The full wall parts on both sides of the assembly chamber contain free spaces 12 or horizontal slots 13 for counter plates or screws, a hole 14 being provided from above through which an anchor of the cover plate (not shown) can be guided. Reinforcements 15 are glued in the recess 7.
