Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wall module for a shower, comprising a housing incorporating at least one tap, an adjustable shower head and pipes for connecting the tap to the shower head.
  • Modular devices are known in the state of the art constituted by a sheath with a U-shaped section screwable onto the walls of the shower, and comprising a tap, a shower head and the connection piping.
  • Document DE-B-2,717,648 (cf. the preamble of claim 1) describes a wall module for a shower comprising a housing incorporating at least one tap, a shower head and pipes connecting the tap to the shower head, the housing consists of plates provided with fixing means on the wall of the shower and by an adjustable covering hood on said plates.
  • document US-A-4,457,031 describes a wall module for a shower, the cover of which is provided with a deformable peripheral seal. However, this seal is placed on the lateral edges of the covering hood, the module being devoid of fixing plate.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a wall module for a shower that can be installed without plumbing intervention, by any person moderately skilled in DIY and preserving the tightness of the shower walls.
  • a wall module for a shower comprising a housing incorporating at least one tap, a shower head and pipes connecting the tap to the shower head, said housing being constituted by at least one plate provided with means fixing to the shower wall and by an adjustable covering hood on said plate, said housing further incorporating at least one flexible conduit for connection to at least one water inlet, a deformable seal being provided to preserve the tightness of the shower walls, module according to which the housing comprises a single cooperating plate with the cover and the outer face of said plate has a peripheral groove, substantially extending along its lateral edges, for the installation of said deformable seal.
  • the plate includes orifices for the passage of screws arranged inside the surface, surrounded by the seal.
  • the fixing of the plate on the wall of the shower is done very simply by screws passing through said passage orifices and cooperating with dowels introduced into the wall.
  • the installation of the wall module is carried out by anyone without particular technical skill by simply drilling the wall of the shower at the places corresponding to the orifices for passage of the plate and by screwing the plate onto the wall.
  • the seal around the screw holes prevents water from entering the wall where the screws pass.
  • the sealing standards are thus perfectly respected during the installation of the wall module.
  • the covering hood comprises at least one projecting part intended to receive accessories.
  • This projecting part can constitute a soap holder, a shampoo holder or any other device known in the state of the art.
  • angles formed between the projecting part and the front face of the cover are greater than 90 °.
  • This embodiment allows economical manufacture of the cover by stamping or thermoforming a plastic material.
  • the housing comprises at least one orifice coated with a detachable cover. This orifice allows the passage of the flexible hose for connecting the tap to the water inlet after the detachable cover has been knocked out.
  • the housing has several orifices coated with detachable lids, distributed at different locations on the plate and on the covering hood.
  • the housing is made of impact polyester.
  • FIG. 1 represents a profile view of a wall module constituted by a covering cover 1 adapting to a plate 2.
  • the covering cover 1 and the plate 2 constituting a housing supporting a tap 3 and a adjustable shower 4.
  • the covering cover 1 is made of ABS or impact-resistant polyester by thermoforming. In order to facilitate manufacture by thermoforming, the covering cover 1 has no angle less than 90 °.
  • the covering cover 1 has two projecting parts 5, 6 forming a soap holder and shampoo holder.
  • the covering cover 1 has a cutout 7 allowing the axis of a mixing valve 3 to pass.
  • the plate has on its rear face a peripheral groove substantially along the lateral edges of the covering cover 1. A deformable seal in neoprene is put in place in this peripheral groove.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the wall module according to the present invention.
  • the plate has holes 9 allowing the introduction of fixing screws on the wall.
  • the peripheral groove 10 passes outside said orifices 9.
  • a flexible cold water supply pipe 12 and a flexible hot water supply pipe 13 terminate at the mixing valve 3.
  • These flexible pipes 12, 13 can come out of the housing at any point of the covering hood 1 or of the plate 2.
  • These flexible pipes 12, 13 are shown in dot lines in a position in which the connection is made at the side face of the covering hood 1. In a second position shown in solid lines, the flexible pipes 12, 13 terminate at the level of the upper face of the covering hood 1.
  • the plate 2 and the covering hood comprise at different locations orifices 14 coated with lids delimited by sectioning points.
  • the connection of the flexible pipes 12, 13 to the water intakes is made by knocking out the cover corresponding to the water inlet or by piercing the housing with an appropriate drill bit.
  • the present invention is described in the foregoing by way of nonlimiting examples. Of course, many variants fall within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
  • the shapes of the covering hood can be different, and the means for fixing the plate to the wall can be replaced by sticky elements or by suction cups.
