Abstract

the curved protective wall (2a) runs from one wall to the other for the wash-basing preferably mounted in the corner of a room. A shelf (2b) forming a horizontal surface (2c) protrudes forwards from the protective wall in the form of an annular section. The ends of the shelf each have strip shaped attachments (2d) protruding at right angles to and underneath the shelf's surface, with at least one opening (2e) for a fixture. Reinforcement ridges (2f) ending in the strip shaped attachments are positioned on the shelf's underside. Reinforcement strips (2g) are shaped on the ends of the protective wall.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verkleidung für die Abflußarmatur, insbesondere den Geruchverschluß, und die Wasserzulaufarmatur eines vorzugsweise in der Ecke eines Raumes zu montierenden Waschbeckens, insbesondere Handwaschbeckens.The invention relates to a covering for the drain fitting, in particular the odor trap, and the water inlet fitting one preferably in the Corner of a washbasin to be assembled, in particular Hand wash basin.

Es ist bekannt, die insbesondere den Geruchverschluß umfassende Abflußarmatur und die Wasserzulaufarmatur von Waschbecken durch säulenartige Verkleidungen abzudecken. Diese sind entweder als sogenannte Standsäule ausgebildet, welche zwischen dem Boden und der Unterseite des Waschbeckens verläuft (siehe DE-A-2412 084), oder als "Halbsäule" ausgeführt, die im Abstand vom Boden endet und unterhalb des Waschbeckens an der Wand befestigt wird (siehe US-A-4 646 370).It is known to include the odor trap in particular Drain fitting and the water inlet fitting from sink to cover pillar-like cladding. These are either called so-called Stand column formed between the floor and the bottom of the Washbasin runs (see DE-A-2412 084), or designed as a "half column", which is at a distance from Bottom ends and is attached to the wall below the sink (see US-A-4 646 370).

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, derartige Verkleidungen weiterzubilden, so daß sie eine weitere Funktion erhalten.The invention has for its object to develop such panels so that they get another function.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung durch die Erfindung ist gekennzeichnet durch eine bogenförmige, von Wand zu Wand verlaufende Sichtschutzwand und eine von dieser Sichtschutzwand nach vorn abstehende, eine waagerechte Ablagefläche bildende Ablage mit der Form eines Ringabschnittes.The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized by an arcuate, wall-to-wall privacy wall and a protruding from this privacy wall, forming a horizontal storage surface with the shape of a ring section.

Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Weiterbildung der bekannten Verkleidungen wird nicht nur deren Einsatzbereich auch auf in der Ecke eines Raumes zu montierende Waschbecken erweitert, sondern auch der Vorteil erzielt, daß die bisher ausschließlich der Abdeckung der Wasserabfluß- und -zulaufarmaturen dienenden Verkleidungen eine weitere Funktion erhalten, nämlich eine zusätzliche Ablagefläche für im Bereich eines Waschbeckens aufzubewahrende Gegenstände bilden. Selbstverständlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Verkleidung nicht nur für in der Ecke eines Raumes zu montierende Waschbecken eingesetzt werden, sondern auch für auf einer Wand montierte Waschbecken, wobei der bogenförmige Verlauf der Sichtschutzwand und die Ausbildung des Ringabschnittes für die Ablage den jeweiligen Erfordernissen entsprechend ausgeführt sein können.Through this inventive development of the known panels will not only be used in the corner of a room expanding sink, but also achieved the advantage that the so far only the cover of the water drainage and inlet fittings serving cladding get another function, namely additional storage space for in the area of a washbasin form objects to be stored. Of course, the cladding according to the invention not only for in the corner of a room mounting sink, but also for on a Wall-mounted wash basin, the arched shape of the Screen and the formation of the ring section for storage can be designed according to the respective requirements.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung sind an den Enden der Ablage jeweils rechtwinklig zur Ablagefläche abstehende Ansätze mit mindestens einer Öffnung für ein Befestigungselement ausgebildet, so daß die erfindungsgemäße Verkleidung auf einfache Weise mittels geeigneten Befestigungselementen an der Wand befestigt werden kann. Die Ansätze sind gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorzugsweise leistenartig an der Unterseite der Ablage ausgebildet, so daß eine für den Benutzer des Waschbeckens unsichtbare Befestigung der erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung erfolgt, die Befestigungselemente andererseits jedoch für den Sanitärinstallateur gut zugänglich sind.According to a further feature of the invention are at the ends of the shelf Approaches protruding at right angles to the shelf with at least formed an opening for a fastener, so that the cladding according to the invention in a simple manner by means of suitable Fasteners can be attached to the wall. The approaches are According to a further feature of the invention, preferably in the form of strips Bottom of the shelf formed so that one for the user of the Washbasin invisible attachment of the panel according to the invention done, the fasteners on the other hand for Sanitary installer are easily accessible.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung können an der Unterseite der Ablage in den leistenartigen Ansätzen endende Verstärkungsrippen ausgebildet sein, so daß die Stabilität nicht nur der Ablage, sondern der gesamten Verkleidung erhöht wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the Bottom of the shelf ending in the strip-like approaches Reinforcing ribs may be formed so that the stability is not only the Storage, but the entire cladding is increased.

Auch an den Enden der Sichtschutzwand können gemäß einem Merkmal der Erfindung Verstärkungsleisten angeformt sein, um die Gefahr der Beschädigung der Verkleidung herabzusetzen.Even at the ends of the privacy screen can be according to a feature of Invention reinforcement strips to be molded to the risk of Reduce damage to the cladding.

Für eine Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung für Eckhandwaschbecken ist bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform die Sichtschutzwand als Viertelkreisbogen und die Ablage als Kreisringabschnitt mit einem Bogen von 90° ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise werden die Sichtschutzwand und die Ablage einstückig aus Sanitärkeramik hergestellt. For a use of the panel according to the invention for Corner hand basin is in a preferred embodiment Screen as a quarter arc and the shelf as a circular section formed with an arc of 90 °. Preferably the Screen and the shelf made in one piece from sanitary ware.

Auf der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung dargestellt, und zwar zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Eckhandwaschbeckens mit der erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung,
Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf die Verkleidung nach Fig. 1 und
Fig. 3

An exemplary embodiment of the cladding according to the invention is shown in the drawing, namely:
Fig. 1
2 shows a perspective view of a corner hand basin with the cladding according to the invention,
Fig. 2
a plan view of the panel of FIG. 1 and
Fig. 3
3 shows a cross section through the cladding along the section line III-III in FIG. 2.

Die perspektivische Darstellung in Fig. 1 zeigt ein Handwaschbecken 1, das in der Ecke eines Raumes an den rechtwinklig zusammenstoßenden Wänden montiert ist. Unterhalb dieses Handwaschbeckens 1 ist eine Verkleidung 2 montiert, die in der Draufsicht in Fig. 2 und in einem Querschnitt in Fig. 3 nochmals dargestellt ist.The perspective view in Fig. 1 shows a hand basin 1, which in the corner of a room on the right-angled walls is mounted. Underneath this hand wash basin 1 is a panel 2 mounted in a top view in FIG. 2 and in a cross section in FIG. 3 is shown again.

Diese Verkleidung 2, die vorzugsweise einstückig aus Sanitärkeramik hergestellt ist, umfaßt eine bogenförmige Sichtschutzwand 2a und eine von dieser Sichtschutzwand 2a nach vorn abstehende Ablage 2b. Diese Ablage 2b bildet eine waagerechte Ablagefläche 2c, so daß unterhalb des Handwaschbeckens 1 auf der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Gegenstände abgestellt werden können.This cladding 2, which is preferably made in one piece from sanitary ware is produced, comprises an arcuate privacy screen 2a and one of this privacy wall 2a protruding shelf 2b. This tray 2b forms a horizontal shelf 2c, so that below the Hand wash basin 1 items not shown on the drawing can be turned off.
