Abstract

A covering device for angular openings (2) in tiled walls (1) possesses a holder which can be inserted into the opening (2) and has holding pieces (4, 5) for receiving a tile cover (3) which carries, on the rear side, fastening mountings (6, 7) assigned to the holding pieces (4, 5). To ensure that the cover is held in a manner which is easy to handle and positionally secure, the lower or the upper holding pieces (4) in each case form a supporting edge (8) and the fastening mountings (6) assigned to these holding pieces (4) in each case form a supporting tongue (9), it being possible, in order to close the opening (2), for the tile cover (3) to be supported with the supporting tongues (9) of its fastening mountings (6) on the supporting edges (8) of the associated holding pieces (4) and to be pushed into the holder by sliding the supporting tongues downwards along the supporting edges until they reach the tongue-projection region. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Abdeckvorrichtung für eckige Aussparungen verfliester Wände, mit einer in die Aussparung einsetzbaren Fassung zur Aufnahme eines Fliesendeckels, wobei die Fassung vorzugsweise in den Eckbereichen sitzende Halterungsstücke aufweist und an der Rückseite des Fliesendeckels den Halterungsstücken zugeordnete Befestigungsbeschläge vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a covering device for angular cut-outs of tiled walls, with a mount that can be inserted into the cut-out for receiving a tile cover, the mount preferably having mounting pieces that are seated in the corner regions and fastening fittings assigned to the mounting pieces are provided on the back of the tile cover.

Solche Abdeckvorrichtungen sollen bei einfacher Handhabung einen möglichst unauffälligen Verschluß von Revisionsöffnungen oder anderen Wandaussparungen ergeben, und um dies zu erreichen, sind die Halterungsstücke der bekannten Abdeckvorrichtungen meist mit Haltemagneten bestückt und die Befestigungsbeschläge der Fliesendeckel bestehen aus den Magneten zugeordneten ferromagnetischen Halteplatten, wobei die Halterungsstücke als Eckteile eines geschlossenen Halterahmens (AT-PS 325 283) oder auch als lose Teile einer offenen Fassung (AT-PS 355 281, DE-GM 77 33 601, EP-A-0 130 172) vorgesehen sein können. Diese Magnethalterung erlaubt zwar grundsätzlich eine unmerkbare Deckelhalterung, doch ergibt sie keine automatische Zentrierung des Deckels innerhalb der Fassung. Außerdem ist vor allem bei größeren und schwereren Fliesendeckeln keine Sicherheit vor einem gewichts- oder erschütterungsbedingten Verrutschen des Deckelsitzes gegeben und eine exzentrische Lage führt zwangsweise zu unterschiedlichen und damit auffallenden Fugenstärken. Ein weiterer Nachteil der Magnethalterung ist außerdem darin zu sehen, daß beim Öffnen des Deckels praktisch alle Halterungen gleichzeitig unwirksam werden und die Bedienungsperson plötzlich den Deckel frei in Händen hält, wodurch im Überraschungsfalle ein Fallenlassen des Deckels zu befürchten ist.Such cover devices should result in a simple handling as inconspicuous closure of inspection openings or other wall recesses, and to achieve this, the mounting pieces of the known cover devices are usually equipped with holding magnets and the mounting fittings of the tile cover consist of magnets assigned ferromagnetic holding plates, the mounting pieces as Corner parts of a closed holding frame (AT-PS 325 283) or as loose parts of an open socket (AT-PS 355 281, DE-GM 77 33 601, EP-A-0 130 172) can be provided. Although this magnetic holder basically allows an imperceptible cover holder, it does not automatically center the cover within the holder. Also, especially with larger and heavier ones Tile covers do not provide any security against the cover seat slipping due to weight or vibration, and an eccentric position inevitably leads to different and thus conspicuous joint strengths. Another disadvantage of the magnetic holder is to be seen in the fact that practically all holders become ineffective at the same time when the cover is opened and the operator suddenly holds the cover freely in his hands, which means that in the event of a surprise, dropping the cover is to be feared.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu beseitigen und eine Abdeckvorrichtung der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, die eine lagesichere, besonders handhabungsfreundliche Deckelhalterung gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating these deficiencies and of creating a covering device of the type described at the outset which ensures a positionally secure, particularly easy-to-use cover holder.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß die unteren oder die oberen Halterungsstücke jeweils eine Stützkante und die diesen Halterungsstücken zugeordneten unteren oder oberen Befestigungsbeschläge jeweils eine abwärts abstehende Stützzunge bilden und der Fliesendeckel zum Schließen der Aussparung mit den Stützzungen ihrer Befestigungsbeschläge auf den Stützkanten der zugehörigen Halterungsstücke abstützbar und unter Abwärtsgleiten der Stützzungen entlang der Stützkanten bis zum Zungenansatzbereich in die Fassung eindrückbar ist. Auf Grund des Zusammenwirkens von Stützkante und Stützzungen wird der Fliesendeckel an der unteren oder oberen Seite formschlüssig in der Fassung gehalten und braucht an der anderen Seite, also der oberen oder unteren Aussparungsseite nur mit geringer Haltekraft fixiert zu werden, um einen ordnungsgemäßen Sitz sicherzustellen. Es kommt zu einer zentrierten Fliesendeckelhalterung ohne Rutschgefahr für den Deckel und beim Öffnen bleibt dieser an einer Seite in der Fassung abgestützt, so daß ein Fallenlassen auch bei größeren Formaten oder höheren Gewichten nicht mehr zu befürchten ist. Stützzungen und Stützkanten ergeben zusammen eine Art offenes Scharnier, das einerseits eine gewisse Schwenk- oder Verschiebebewegung des Deckels relativ zur Fassung erlaubt und anderseits mit einem Handgriff ein Abnehmen oder Einhängen des Deckels von der oder in die Fassung zuläßt. Zur Betätigung des Fliesendeckels von außen sind alle bekannten Hilfsmittel, wie Sauger oder Betätigungsschnüre u. dgl., möglich und für das Zusammenwirken von Stützzungen und Stützkanten spielt es auch keine Rolle, ob die Halterungsstücke als Einzelstücke oder als Teil eines Rahmens in der Aussparung sitzen.The invention solves this problem in that the lower or the upper mounting pieces each have a supporting edge and the lower or upper mounting fittings assigned to these mounting pieces each form a downwardly projecting supporting tongue and the tile cover for closing the recess with the supporting tongues of their mounting fittings on the supporting edges of the associated mounting pieces is supported and can be pressed into the socket while sliding the support tongues along the support edges up to the tongue attachment area. Due to the interaction of the supporting edge and supporting tongues, the tile cover is held in a form-fitting manner on the lower or upper side and only needs to be fixed on the other side, i.e. the upper or lower recess side, with little holding force in order to ensure a proper fit. There is a centered tile cover holder with no risk of slipping for the cover and when it is opened it remains supported on one side in the holder, so that dropping it is no longer to be feared even with larger formats or higher weights. Support tongues and support edges together result in a kind of open hinge, which on the one hand allows a certain pivoting or sliding movement of the cover relative to the holder and on the other hand allows the cover to be removed or hung from or into the holder with a handle. To operate the tile cover from the outside are all known tools, such as suction cups or cords u. Like., possible and for the interaction of support tongues and support edges, it does not matter whether the bracket pieces sit as individual pieces or as part of a frame in the recess.

Weisen die Befestigungsbeschläge eine die Stützzunge tragende Grundplatte auf, die mit zwei Seitenlappen und einem gedachten, dem Eckverlauf des Fliesendeckels folgenden Winkel eine in Form und Größe an den im Eckbereich der Aussparung vorragenden Teil der Halterungsstücke angepaßte Ausnehmung begrenzt, passen die Halterungsstücke einerseits und die Befestigungsbeschläge anderseits bei geschlossenem Fliesendeckel, ohne sich zu überlappen, nebeneinander und es ist ein einwandfreier Deckelsitz mit zur Wandoberfläche fluchtender Deckelfläche gewährleistet.If the fastening fittings have a base plate which supports the supporting tongue and which, with two side tabs and an imaginary angle that follows the corner of the tile cover, limits a shape and size of the recess adapted to the part of the holder pieces protruding in the corner region of the recess, the holder pieces fit on the one hand and the fastening fittings on the other hand, when the tile cover is closed, without overlapping, side by side and a perfect cover seat with the cover surface aligned with the wall surface is guaranteed.

Günstig ist es weiters, wenn die Stützzungen konvex gekrümmt sind und/oder eine einwärts gerichtete Endabwinkelung aufweisen, da die Krümmung die Relativbewegung zwischen Stützzunge und Stützkante erleichtert und die Abwinkelung einen Anschlag für die Fliesentür beim Herausklappen aus der Schließstellung in eine Abnahmestellung ergibt.It is also expedient if the support tongues are convexly curved and / or have an inward end bend, since the bend facilitates the relative movement between the support tongue and the support edge and the bend results in a stop for the tile door when it is folded out of the closed position into a removal position.

Bilden die Stützkanten eine Randabwinkelung, lassen sich auch dadurch die Gleiteigenschaften für die Relativbewegung von Stützzunge und Stützkante beeinflussen, wozu aber insbesondere noch kommt, daß durch ein bewußtes Verbiegen der Randabwinkelung einerseits und/oder der Stützzunge anderseits die Höhenlage des Fliesendeckels in der Fassung justierbar und an die baulichen Gegebenheiten exakt anpaßbar ist.If the support edges form an edge bend, this can also influence the sliding properties for the relative movement of the support tongue and support edge, but this is also particularly the case because the height of the tile cover in the socket can be adjusted by deliberately bending the edge bend on the one hand and / or the support tongue on the other and can be precisely adapted to the structural conditions.

Zum Fixieren des Deckels in seiner Verschlußlage lassen sich alle bekannten Halterungen nützen, wobei sich durchaus auch Haltemagnete bewähren. Besonders zweckmäßig ist es aber, wenn alle Halterungsstücke Stützkanten bilden und die stützzungenlosen Befestigungsbeschläge mit den Stützkanten zusammenwirkende Federrasten od. dgl. aufweisen, so daß die Halterungsstücke einheitlich geformt sein können und auch teure Halterungsmagnete unnötig sind. Die Befestigungsbeschläge lassen sich mit Federzungen herstellen, die nicht nur als Stützzungen sondern auch als Federrasten verwendbar sind, so daß eine besonders rationelle Abdeckvorrichtung entsteht.All known holders can be used to fix the cover in its closed position, with holding magnets also proving their worth. However, it is particularly expedient if all of the mounting pieces form supporting edges and the tongue-free fastening fittings or spring catches or the like cooperating with the supporting edges so that the mounting pieces can be uniformly shaped and expensive mounting magnets are unnecessary. The fastening fittings can be produced with spring tongues, which can be used not only as support tongues but also as spring catches, so that a particularly efficient covering device is created.

Eine verflieste Wand 1 weist eine Aussparung 2 auf, die mit einem Fliesendeckel 3 abdeckbar ist. Zur Halterung des Fliesendeckels sind in den Eckbereichen der Aussparung 2 Halterungsstücke 4, 5 eingesetzt, die mit entsprechenden Befestigungsbeschlägen 6, 7 an der Rückseite des Fliesendeckels 3 zusammenwirken.A tiled wall 1 has a recess 2 which can be covered with a tile cover 3. To hold the tile cover 2 mounting pieces 4, 5 are used in the corner areas of the recess, with corresponding Fastening fittings 6, 7 interact on the back of the tile cover 3.

Gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 - 3 bilden dabei die unteren Halterungsstücke 4 jeweils eine Stützkante 8 und die unteren Befestigungsbeschläge 6 diesen Stützkanten 8 zugehörige Stützzungen 9, während die oberen Halterungsstücke 5 mit Halterungsmagneten 10 bestückt sind und die zugehörigen oberen Befestigungsbeschläge 7 aus einfachen ferromagnetischen Halteplatten bestehen.According to the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1-3, the lower mounting pieces 4 each form a supporting edge 8 and the lower fastening fittings 6 support tongues 9 associated with these supporting edges 8, while the upper mounting pieces 5 are equipped with mounting magnets 10 and the associated upper mounting fittings 7 made of simple ferromagnetic Holding plates exist.

Die Befestigungsbeschläge 6 weisen eine Grundplatte 11 auf, von der die konvex gekrümmte Stützzunge 9, abwärts vorstehend, ausgeht. Diese Grundplatte 11 erstreckt sich mit zwei Seitenlappen 11a bis an die Seitenränder 12 des Fliesendeckels 3, wobei eine Ausnehmung 13 freibleibt, die in Form und Größe an den im Eckbereich der Aussparung 2 vorragenden Teil 4a der Halterungsstücke 4 angepaßt ist. Dadurch kommen, wie in Fig. 1 strichliert angedeutet, die Befestigungsbeschläge und die Halterungsstücke bei geschlossenem Fliesendeckel 3, ohne sich zu überlappen, nebeneinander zu liegen, so daß ein ordnungsgemäßer Deckelsitz gewährleistet ist.The fastening fittings 6 have a base plate 11, from which the convexly curved support tongue 9 projects downwards. This base plate 11 extends with two side tabs 11a to the side edges 12 of the tile cover 3, leaving a recess 13 free, which is adapted in shape and size to the protruding part 4a of the mounting pieces 4 in the corner region of the recess 2. As a result, as indicated by the broken line in FIG. 1, the fastening fittings and the mounting pieces, with the tile cover 3 closed, lie next to one another without overlapping, so that a proper cover seat is ensured.

Durch die Seitenlappen 11a an der Grundplatte wird außerdem die Positionierung der Befestigungsbeschläge bei der Montage erleichtert, da diese Beschläge dazu lediglich mit den Seitenlappen 11a auf die Deckelränder 12 ausgerichtet und so festgeklebt zu werden brauchen.The side tabs 11a on the base plate also facilitate the positioning of the fastening fittings during assembly, since these fittings only have to be aligned with the side tabs 11a on the lid edges 12 and thus have to be glued.

Um das Zusammenwirken der Stützzungen 9 und der Stützkanten 8 zu verbessern, sind die Stützzungen 9 mit einer Endabwinkelung 9a versehen und auch die Stützkanten 8 bilden eine Randabwinkelung 8a, so daß die beiden Abwinkelungen hakenartig ineinandergreifen können und sich außerdem durch einIn order to improve the interaction of the support tongues 9 and the support edges 8, the support tongues 9 are provided with an end bend 9a and also the support edges 8 form an edge bend 8a, so that the two bends can engage in a hook-like manner and also through one another

Verbiegen der Randabwinkelung 8a bzw. der Stützzungenkrümmung die Möglichkeit einer Höhenjustierung des Fliesendeckels 3 ergibt.Bending the edge bend 8a or the support tongue curvature gives the possibility of height adjustment of the tile cover 3.

Zum Verschließen der Aussparung 2 wird der Fliesendeckel 3 mit seinen unteren Befestigungsbeschlägen 6 so an den unteren Halterungsstücken 4 abgestützt, daß die Stützzungen 9 die Stützkanten 8 übergreifen, worauf der Fliesendeckel 3 nur mehr hochgeklappt oder einwärtsgedrückt zu werden braucht, bis die oberen Befestigungsbeschläge 7 an den Haltemagneten 10 der oberen Halterungsstücke 5 haften bleiben, und der Deckel ist geschlossen. Zum Öffnen wird in umgekehrter Reihenfolge zuerst der obere Magnetverschluß gelöst, was mit Hilfe von Saugern, von Betätigungsschnüren u. dgl. Hilfsmitteln in bekannter Weise erreichbar ist, dann der Fliesendeckel 3 abgeklappt, bis die sich ineinander verhakenden Randabwinkelungen 8, 14 eine weitere Schwenkbewegung verhindern, und nun kann entweder gleich die erforderliche Tätigkeit in der Aussparung 2 vorgenommen oder der Deckel durch Abnehmen ganz entfernt werden.To close the recess 2, the tile cover 3 is supported with its lower fastening fittings 6 on the lower mounting pieces 4 so that the supporting tongues 9 overlap the supporting edges 8, whereupon the tile cover 3 only needs to be folded up or pushed in until the upper fastening fittings 7 are attached the holding magnet 10 of the upper mounting pieces 5 stick, and the lid is closed. To open the upper magnetic lock is loosened in reverse order, which with the help of suction cups, operating cords and. The like. Aids can be reached in a known manner, then the tile cover 3 is folded down until the interlocking edge bends 8, 14 prevent a further pivoting movement, and now either the required activity can be carried out in the recess 2 or the cover can be removed completely by removing it .

Durch das Zusammenspiel von Stützzungen 9 und Stützkanten 8 kommt es zu einer sicheren Führung und Abstützung des Deckels gegenüber den Halterungsstücken, wobei die Deckelhandhabung erleichtert wird, eine Zentrierung des Deckelsitzes beim Schließen erfolgt und auch ein überraschendes Freiwerden des Fliesendeckels beim Öffnen vermieden ist.The interaction of support tongues 9 and support edges 8 leads to a secure guidance and support of the cover with respect to the mounting pieces, whereby the cover handling is facilitated, centering of the cover seat takes place when closing and also a surprising release of the tile cover when opening is avoided.

Wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 4 und 5 angedeutet, können auch obere Halterungsstücke 15 für die Aussparung 2 vorgesehen sein, die Stützkanten 18 bilden, welchen Halterungsstücken obere Beschläge 17 des Fliesendeckels 3 zugehören, die ihrerseits die mit den Stützkanten 18 zusammenwirkenden Stützzungen 19 aufweisen. Auch hier bestehen die Beschläge 17 aus einer die Stützzunge 19 tragenden Grundplatte 111,die mit Seitenlappen 111a bis an den Kantenbereich des Fliesendeckels 3 reichen und im Eckbereich eine dem vorragenden Teil 15a der Halterungsstücke 15 angepaßte Ausnehmung 113 freilassen, so daß beim Schließen die Halterungsstücke 15 und die Befestigungsbeschläge 17 ineinanderpassen. Sind die oberen Befestigungsbeschläge 15 mit Stützzungen 19 ausgerüstet, tragen selbstverständlich die nicht weiter dargestellten untere Befestigungsbeschlägen Halterungsmagnete od. dgl. Fixiereinrichtungen und zum Schließen bzw. Öffnen des Fliesendeckels 3 müssen die oberen Befestigungsbeschläge 17 in die Halterungsstücke 15 ein- bzw. ausgehangt werden, wodurch sich aber grundsätzlich die gleichen Vorteile wie bei einer unteren Deckelabstützung ergeben. Der Deckel ist hangend an den oberen Halterungsstücken abgestützt und wird zum Schließen schräg abwärts gedrückt und zum Öffnen unten abgehoben und schräg aufwärt geschoben, wobei die federnden Eigenschaften der Stützzungen die erforderliche Bewegungsfreiheit des Deckels gegenüber der Fassung mit sich bringen.As indicated in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5, upper mounting pieces 15 can also be provided for the recess 2, which form supporting edges 18, which mounting pieces belong to upper fittings 17 of the tile cover 3, which in turn have the supporting tongues 19 interacting with the supporting edges 18. Here too, the fittings 17 consist of a base plate carrying the supporting tongue 19 111, which extend with side tabs 111a to the edge area of the tile cover 3 and in the corner area leave a recess 113 adapted to the protruding part 15a of the mounting pieces 15, so that the mounting pieces 15 and the fastening fittings 17 fit into one another when closed. If the upper mounting brackets 15 are equipped with support tongues 19, the lower mounting brackets (not shown further) naturally carry mounting magnets or the like but basically the same advantages result as with a lower cover support. The lid is supported hanging on the upper mounting pieces and is pressed diagonally downwards to close and lifted downwards and pushed diagonally upwards to open, the resilient properties of the support tongues providing the required freedom of movement of the lid with respect to the socket.
