Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tragstütze, mit einem vertikal anzuordnenden Profilstab, an dessen unterem Ende an einem Fusslager ein eine Gewindespindel aufweisender, höhenverstellbarer Fuss angebracht ist und dessen oberes Ende eine Tragfläche zur Abstützung insbesonders einer Bade- oder Brausewanne aufweist.The invention relates to a support, with a vertically arranged profile bar, at the lower end of which a threaded spindle having a height-adjustable foot is attached to a foot bearing and the upper end of which has a supporting surface for supporting, in particular, a bathtub or shower tray.

Die Erfindung betrifft ebenfalls eine Tragvorrichtung mit wenigstens vier im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Tragstützen, die jeweils einen Profilstab aufweisen, an dessen unterem Ende ein höhenverstellbarer Fuss angeordnet ist.The invention also relates to a support device with at least four support supports arranged at a distance from one another, each of which has a profile bar, at the lower end of which a height-adjustable foot is arranged.

Die DE-A-28 25 127 zeigt eine Tragvorrichtung für eine Badewanne, die vier im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Tragstützen aufweist. Die Tragstützen bestehen jeweils aus einer Spindel, die von unten in einen Profilstab eingedreht ist, der aus einem Blech gebogen ist, an dessen oberem Ende eine Platte angeschweisst ist und der am unteren Ende durch eine ebenfalls angeschweisste Verstrebung versteift ist. Die Verstrebung besitzt eine Bohrung, über deren Oeffnung eine Mutter angeschweisst ist, in welche die Gewindespindel eingedreht ist. Eine Kontermutter dient zur Fixierung der eingestellten Höhe der Gewindespindel.DE-A-28 25 127 shows a support device for a bathtub, which has four support supports arranged at a distance from one another. The support brackets each consist of a spindle which is screwed from below into a profile bar which is bent from a sheet metal, at the upper end of which a plate is welded and which is stiffened at the lower end by a brace which is also welded on. The strut has a hole through the opening of which a nut is welded into which the threaded spindle is screwed. A lock nut is used to fix the set height of the threaded spindle.

Die DE-C-33 10 084 offenbart ebenfalls eine Tragvorrichtung für eine Badewanne, die vier im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Tragstützen aufweist. Die Tragstützen sind aus miteinander verschraubten Winkelstücken hergestellt.DE-C-33 10 084 also discloses a support device for a bathtub, which has four support supports arranged at a distance from one another. The support brackets are made of angle pieces screwed together.

Schliesslich zeigt die DE-A-34 25 054 ein Fusslager für ein Traggestell zur Aufnahme von Bade- oder Brausewannen. Die Tragstützen bestehen jeweils aus einer Gewindehülse, in die von oben eine-Gewindespindel eingedreht ist.Finally, DE-A-34 25 054 shows a foot bearing for a support frame for holding baths or shower trays. The support supports each consist of a threaded sleeve into which a threaded spindle is screwed from above.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Tragstütze bzw. eine Tragvorrichtung zu schaffen, die bei universellerem Einsatz einfacher in der Herstellung ist und gleichzeitig eine schnellere Montage ermöglicht. Zudem soll eine Herstellung mit weniger Einzelteilen möglich sein.The invention has for its object to provide a support bracket or a support device that is easier to manufacture with more universal use and at the same time enables faster assembly. In addition, it should be possible to manufacture with fewer individual parts.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Tragstütze dadurch gelöst, dass das Fusslager ein auf das untere Ende des Profilstabes aufgestecktes Lagerelement aufweist, das mit einer an diesem drehbar gelagerten Gewindemutter und der in die Gewindemutter eingedrehten Gewindespindel eine Verstelleinheit bildet. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Tragstütze ist die Verstelleinheit auf einen beliebig abgelängten Profilstab aufgesteckt. Der Profilstab kann damit unabhängig von der Verstelleinheit in der jeweils geeigneten Länge abgelängt werden. Die Verstelleinheit kann somit an völlig unterschiedlich lange Profilstäbe aufgesteckt werden. Ein Verschrauben oder Verschweissen von Einzelteilen lässt sich damit vermeiden. Nach dem Baukastenprinzip können sehr kurze oder auch sehr lange Tragstützen mit gleichen Arbeitsschritten montiert werden. Dadurch ist die Möglichkeit eines Baukastensystems gegeben.The object is achieved in a generic support in that the foot bearing has a bearing element which is plugged onto the lower end of the profile rod and which forms an adjusting unit with a threaded nut rotatably mounted thereon and the threaded spindle screwed into the threaded nut. In the case of the support according to the invention, the adjustment unit is plugged onto an arbitrarily cut profile bar. The profile bar can thus be cut to the appropriate length regardless of the adjustment unit. The adjustment unit can thus be attached to profile rods of completely different lengths. Screwing or welding of individual parts can thus be avoided. According to the modular principle, very short or very long support columns can be installed with the same work steps. This enables the possibility of a modular system.

Die erfindungsgemässe Tragvorrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass jeweils zwei Tragstützen mit horizontal verlaufenden Profilstäben verbunden sind und die Tragstützen mit den horizontal verlaufenden Profilstäben ein Traggestell zur Aufnahme einer Bade- oder Duschwanne bilden und dass wenigstens die Profilstäbe der Tragstützen aussenseitig Längsnuten aufweisen, an denen Verkleidungsplatten befestigbar sind. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Tragvorrichtung werden die Profilstäbe der Tragstützen zur Befestigung von Verkleidungsplatten verwendet und bilden mit horizontal verlaufenden Profilstäben ein Traggestell. Da auch die Profilstäbe der Tragstützen beliebig ablängbar sind, ist eine sehr flexible Bauweise möglich, so dass mit gleichen Bauteilen Tragvorrichtungen für sehr unterschiedliche sanitäre Installationen möglich sind. Die Verstelleinheiten der Füsse und die Profile sind bei allen Anwendungen gleich, was die Lagerhaltung wesentlich vereinfacht.The support device according to the invention is characterized in that in each case two support supports are connected to horizontally extending profile rods and the support supports form a support frame for receiving a bath tub or shower tray with the horizontally extending profile supports and that at least the profile rods of the support supports have longitudinal grooves on the outside to which cladding panels can be attached are. In the support device according to the invention, the profile bars of the support supports are used for fastening cladding panels and form a support frame with horizontally extending profile bars. Since the profile bars of the support brackets can be cut to length, this is one very flexible design possible, so that with the same components, support devices for very different sanitary installations are possible. The adjustment units of the feet and the profiles are the same for all applications, which considerably simplifies storage.

Eine besonders einfache Montage und eine hohe Stabilität der Tragstützen ist dann gewährleistet, wenn die Lagerelemente nach oben gerichtete Laschen und die Profilstäbe Ekken aufweisen, in welche die Laschen eingreifen und darin festgeklemmt sind. Solche Lagerelemente können aus gestanzten Platten durch Abbiegen von Laschen sehr einfach und kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Eine entsprechende Verstelleinheit muss dann lediglich auf einen entsprechend abgelängten Profilstab aufgesteckt werden. Eine besonders hohe Stabilität ist dann gewährleistet, wenn der Profilstab wenigstens drei, vorzugsweise vier Ecken aufweist, die jeweils einen sich in Längsrichtung des Profilstabes erstrekkenden Kanal bilden. Dies ermöglicht eine breite Abstützung des Lagerelementes an der unteren Stirnseite des Profilstabes. Auch ohne Schweissen und Verschrauben ist dann eine sehr hohe Stabilität gewährleistet.A particularly simple assembly and a high stability of the support brackets is guaranteed if the bearing elements have upwardly directed tabs and the profile bars have corners, in which the tabs engage and are clamped therein. Such bearing elements can be produced from stamped plates very easily and inexpensively by bending tabs. A corresponding adjustment unit then only has to be plugged onto a correspondingly cut profile bar. A particularly high stability is ensured if the profile bar has at least three, preferably four corners, each of which forms a channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile bar. This enables a broad support of the bearing element on the lower end face of the profile bar. Very high stability is then guaranteed even without welding and screwing.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Tragstütze 1, die eine Badewanne 6 an einem Rand 6a auf einem Fussboden 27 abstützt. Die Tragstütze 1 besteht aus einem Fuss 4 mit einer Spindel 9, die am unteren Ende in eine Gewindebohrung 3 einer Stützkappe 17 eingedreht ist. Die Gewindebohrung 3 ist in einem zylindrischen, angeformten Bund 19 angeordnet. Am oberen Ende ist die Gewindespindel 9 in eine Gewindemutter 14 eingedreht, die in einer Oeffnung 15 (Fig. 5) eines Lagerelementes 8 drehbar gelagert ist. Dazu sind an der Gewindemutter 14 vier in einem Kreis angeordnete Rastnocken 21 angeformt, die in die Oeffnung 15 des Lagerelements 8 eingerastet sind. Die Rastnocken 21 sind so ausgebildet, dass die Gewindemutter 14 vergleichsweise streng, das heisst mit erhöhtem Drehmoment in der Oeffnung 15 drehbar ist. Dazu können beispielsweise Aussenflächen 14a unter Spannung an der Oeffnung 15 anliegen. Durch das erhöhte Drehmoment erübrigt sich eine Kontermutter, was die Herstellung und die Montage wesentlich vereinfacht.FIG. 1 shows a support 1 which supports a bathtub 6 on an edge 6a on a floor 27. The support bracket 1 consists of a foot 4 with a spindle 9 which is screwed into a threaded bore 3 of a support cap 17 at the lower end. The threaded bore 3 is arranged in a cylindrical, molded collar 19. At the upper end, the threaded spindle 9 is screwed into a threaded nut 14 which is rotatably mounted in an opening 15 (FIG. 5) of a bearing element 8. For this purpose, four locking cams 21 arranged in a circle are formed on the threaded nut 14 and are latched into the opening 15 of the bearing element 8. The locking cams 21 are designed so that the threaded nut 14 comparatively strict, that is to say can be rotated in the opening 15 with increased torque. For this purpose, for example, outer surfaces 14a can bear on the opening 15 under tension. The increased torque eliminates the need for a lock nut, which significantly simplifies manufacture and assembly.

Das Lagerelement 8 ist im wesentlichen eine gestanzte Platte 26, die an vier Ecken in quadratischer Anordnung nach oben abgebogene Laschen 11 besitzt. Mittig der Platte 26 ist die oben genannte Bohrung 15 angeordnet. An einer im wesentlichen ebenen Unterseite 8a des Lagerelements 8 ist eine umlaufende Fläche 14b der Mutter 14 abgestützt. Das Lagerelement 8, die aufgerastete Gewindemutter 14 sowie die Gewindespindel 9 bilden eine Verstelleinheit 10. Die vier Laschen 11 sind in einem Profilstab 2 eingesteckt und verbinden damit die Verstelleinheit 10 mit dem Profilstab 2.The bearing element 8 is essentially a stamped plate 26 which has tabs 11 bent upwards at four corners in a square arrangement. The above-mentioned bore 15 is arranged in the center of the plate 26. A circumferential surface 14b of the nut 14 is supported on an essentially flat underside 8a of the bearing element 8. The bearing element 8, the snapped-on threaded nut 14 and the threaded spindle 9 form an adjustment unit 10. The four tabs 11 are inserted in a profile bar 2 and thus connect the adjustment unit 10 to the profile bar 2.

Der vorzugsweise aus Blech hergestellte Profilstab 2 weist gemäss Figur 2 vier Ecken 12 auf, die jeweils einen sich in Längsrichtung des Profilstabes 2 erstreckenden Kanal 13 bilden. Die Laschen 11 des Lagerelements 8 greifen jeweils von der Unterseite des Profilstabes 2 in diese Kanäle 13 ein und sind darin festgeklemmt. Der Profilstab 2 ist damit an vier Ecken 12 am Lagerelement 8 abgestützt und verankert. Zwischen den Ecken 12 sind Schwalbenschwanznuten 24 angeordnet, deren Wandungen stirnseitig auf der Oberseite 8b des Lagerelementes 8 aufliegen. Dadurch ist eine breite Abstützung der unteren Stirnseite 2a des Profils am Lagerelement 8 gewährleistet. Ein Verschweissen oder Verschrauben des Profils 2 mit dem Lagerelement 8 ist deshalb nicht erforderlich. Am oberen Ende ist auf dem Profilstab 2 eine Stützkappe 16 aufgesetzt, die vorzugsweise gleich ausgebildet ist wie die Stützkappe 17. Der Bund 18 der Stützkappe 16 greift hier in einen Innenraum 23 des Profilstabes 2 passgenau ein. Eine Oberseite 5 der Stützkappe 16 bildet eine Tragfläche für den Rand 6a der Badewanne 6. Die Badewanne 6 kann auch eine Duschwanne oder eine andere ähnliche Hauseinrichtung sein.According to FIG. 2, the profile bar 2, which is preferably made of sheet metal, has four corners 12, each of which forms a channel 13 extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile bar 2. The tabs 11 of the bearing element 8 each engage from the underside of the profile bar 2 in these channels 13 and are clamped therein. The profile bar 2 is thus supported and anchored at four corners 12 on the bearing element 8. Dovetail grooves 24 are arranged between the corners 12, the walls of which rest on the end face on the upper side 8b of the bearing element 8. This provides a broad support for the lower end face 2a of the profile on the bearing element 8 guaranteed. It is therefore not necessary to weld or screw the profile 2 to the bearing element 8. At the upper end, a support cap 16 is placed on the profile bar 2, which is preferably of the same design as the support cap 17. The collar 18 of the support cap 16 engages in an interior 23 of the profile bar 2 with a precise fit. An upper side 5 of the support cap 16 forms a supporting surface for the edge 6a of the bathtub 6. The bathtub 6 can also be a shower tray or other similar house furnishings.

Die Figur 6 zeigt eine Tragvorrichtung 30, die aus wenigstens vier Tragstützen 1, horizontalen Traversen 20 sowie Abdeckplatten 31 und 32 besteht. Die Abdeckplatten 31 und 32 sind mit Verbindungsmitteln 33, die jeweils in eine Schwalbenschwanznut 24 eingreifen, an Profilstäben 2 der Tragstützen 1 lösbar befestigt. Die Verbindungsmittel 33 können beispielsweise einen hier nicht gezeigten Klemmteil aufweisen, der in eine Schwalbenschwanznut 24 eingreift und diese hintergreift.FIG. 6 shows a support device 30 which consists of at least four support supports 1, horizontal cross members 20 and cover plates 31 and 32. The cover plates 31 and 32 are releasably fastened to the profiled bars 2 of the support supports 1 with connecting means 33, which each engage in a dovetail groove 24. The connecting means 33 can, for example, have a clamping part, not shown here, which engages in and engages behind a dovetail groove 24.

Die ungefähre Höhe der Tragstützen 1 ist im wesentlichen durch die Länge der Profilstäbe 2 gegeben. Die Feineinstellung der Höhe erfolgt durch Drehen der Gewindemutter 14 mit einem Gabelschlüssel. Sollte in einem speziellen Fall die gewünschte Höhe nicht einstellbar sein, so kann der Profilstab 2 von der Verstelleinheit 10 abgezogen und durch einen Profilstab 2 mit einer anderen geeigneteren Länge ersetzt werden.The approximate height of the support supports 1 is essentially given by the length of the profile bars 2. The height is fine-adjusted by turning the threaded nut 14 with an open-ended wrench. If the desired height cannot be adjusted in a special case, the profile bar 2 can be pulled off the adjusting unit 10 and replaced by a profile bar 2 with another suitable length.

Die erfindungsgemässe Tragvorrichtung 30 ist ersichtlich mit verhältnismässig wenigen, einfachen und robusten Bauteilen realisierbar. Erfindungsgemäss ist eine Tragvorrichtung geschaffen, welche nicht nur den sanitärtechnischen Anforderungen einschliesslich sehr einfacher Montage in hervorragender Weise Rechnung trägt, sondern aufgrund ihrer einfachen und robusten Ausführbarkeit kostenmässig günstig und äusserst zuverlässig ist.The carrying device 30 according to the invention can be seen to be realized with relatively few, simple and robust components. According to the invention, a carrying device is created which not only takes excellent account of the sanitary requirements, including very simple assembly, but is also inexpensive and extremely reliable due to its simple and robust design.
