Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pretext element for the sanitary installation with a frame made of at least two vertical struts essentially formed from hollow profiles and at least one crossbar arranged essentially transversely to the vertical struts and fastened to the vertical struts for receiving and fastening attachments and one essentially transverse to the vertical struts arranged bottom bar as a base of the frame, with at least one substantially parallel to the vertical struts arranged and rigid in the direction transverse to the plane spanned by the frame rigid guide bar is attached, which rests slidably and securely on a guide receptacle of the crossbar, one adjustable stop device is provided, through which the desired distance between the bottom bar and crossbar can be fixed.
  • Such a pretext element is known from DE 35 28 334 A1.
  • Pre-wall elements for the sanitary installation often have to absorb considerable forces that arise from the use of the attachments attached to them.
  • trusses should be mentioned, which are used to attach hanging toilets, because a very high bending moment acts on them due to the lever arm.
  • the trusses were usually designed to be extremely stable so that an inadmissible deformation did not occur on the wall elements.
  • the deformations on the pre-wall elements must be kept within relatively narrow limits, since gypsum fiber cement or gypsum plasterboard is often arranged on them, to which the majority of the tiles are glued. It is understandable that the tiles do not undergo major deformations.
  • pretext elements which are designed to be more variable and in which the attachments can be easily attached at different heights.
  • a built-in support structure for hollow body walls which has a clamping nut for attaching the crossbeams.
  • the clamp nut remains in its position in the hollow tube when the crossbar is released.
  • the guide receptacle comprises a spring-loaded clamping element which allows the guide rail to be displaced in the guide receptacle only at a predetermined displacement force.
  • the invention now absorbs a considerable part of the bending moment load via at least one rigid guide rail. Furthermore, the front wall element can be telescoped almost continuously, which automatically adjusts the distance between the bottom bar and the cross member, so that the cross member can be arranged at predetermined heights above the installation surface for attaching attachments.
  • a spring-loaded clamping element presses on the guide bar, so that even when the stop device is not in engagement, the cross member does not inadvertently move relative to the bottom bar.
  • the spring force of the clamping element is preferably chosen so that the weight of the frame with attachments may not be sufficient to overcome the clamping force of the clamping elements. This ensures that an installer can only adjust the height of the traverse by deliberate action.
  • the adjustable adjustment device then ensures that the adjustment height is maintained even under load conditions.
  • two guide rails and correspondingly two guide receptacles are provided on the crossmember symmetrically to the vertical center axis of the frame.
  • the load to be borne by the guide rails is thereby halved, so that the mass of the individual guide rails can also be reduced.
  • the traverse can be constructed essentially from a substantially U-shaped cross-section support with corresponding recesses in the U-legs for the guide receptacles and a connection plate lying on both U-legs and connected to the crossbar, the connection plate in the region of the Has guide receptacles in the direction of the U-shaped carrier protruding over the connection plate, designed as clamping elements spring tongues for abutting the corresponding guide rail.
  • the use of the connection plate as a cover for the guide receptacles and possible attachment of the attachments has the advantage that the loading moment acting on the connection plate is transmitted directly to the guide rail or rails.
  • the connecting plate can rest over a larger area on the guide bar or bars than the cross member, so that more favorable lever ratios can be provided for better power transmission.
  • the clamping elements adjust themselves to the guide rails with tolerances and thus ensure essentially the same spring forces over the entire adjustment range.
  • cover elements connected to the cross member or cover plate and guiding the guide rail at least on the front of the frame in extension of the guide receptacle can be provided, the front side of which essentially corresponds to the front side of the U-shaped carrier of the cross member lies in one plane.
  • the connecting plate and / or the cover elements can preferably have correspondingly desired connection and fastening points for arranging and fastening attachments, in particular toilets, drain and inlet pipes, etc.
  • the individual connections can be distributed much better on the connection plate, since this can be made correspondingly large.
  • the cross member, connecting plate and cover elements can be produced as stamped and bent parts made of sheet metal, which are connected to one another by screwing and / or by means of flaps inserted and bent into corresponding slot areas, the spring tongues being stamped and bent in one piece from the connecting plate.
  • a relatively simple way of providing a stop device consists in that the stop device is formed by a threaded rod which can be screwed out and in as an extension of the vertical struts by means of an associated adjusting nut.
  • This simple design makes it possible to continuously adjust the crossbar with respect to the bottom bar.
  • the adjusting nut for quick adjustment can preferably be designed as a tilting nut, a stopper for supporting the adjusting nut relative to the vertical struts being arranged in the lower end of the vertical struts.
  • a tilt nut prevents the installer from having to make lengthy nut adjustments on the relatively long threaded rod.
  • the use of a stopper offers itself ideally through the vertical struts designed as a hollow profile.
  • a heavy-duty foot that can be attached to the installation surface can be provided in a further variant for attaching, supporting and supporting the crossbeam and / or the guide rails and limiting the deformations.
  • the heavy-duty foot is then simply anchored to the floor and is then supported either on the guide bar or the crossbar. This serves in particular to provide very robust shooting conditions for extensions. It is also possible to set up the pre-wall element freely with sufficient support at the same time, even with high loads. The connection of the element to a wall supporting this is therefore not absolutely necessary, as a result of which elements of this type can easily be used as room dividers.
  • a further improvement in strength can be achieved if the guide rails at the lower region of the vertical struts are additionally supported and guided by a cross-member constructed from a U-shaped support with corresponding recesses in the U-legs.
  • the traverse is essentially constructed like the heavy-duty traverse, but without a connecting plate and cover elements, and is ideally suited to supporting the guide rails in the lower area and holding the vertical struts together at this point.
  • the pre-wall element 1 used for the sanitary installation can be designed modified for the various applications, for example FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 show a pre-wall element for the toilet installation and FIGS. 5 and 6 a corresponding one Wall element for attaching a washbasin and fittings.
  • FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 show a pre-wall element for the toilet installation
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 a corresponding one Wall element for attaching a washbasin and fittings.
  • the individual configuration is discussed in more detail below.
  • other conceptions of pre-wall elements, particularly those relating to the attachments are also conceivable, which are adapted to the various applications, such as shower, bathtub, urinals, bathroom furniture, etc.
  • the pretext element 1 has a frame 2, which consists of two vertical struts 3 formed from hollow profiles and a cross strut 4 formed from an open hollow profile, preferably a C-profile, which holds the vertical struts 3 at a distance from one another.
  • the hollow profile of the vertical struts 3 consists of a roll-shaped box profile, preferably rectangular cross-section, with a longitudinal web 5 arranged thereon on one side, in the middle of a shorter transverse side thereof.
  • the longitudinal web 5 has three times the material thickness of the remaining hollow profile, since it is bent one sheet end was made over the other sheet end.
  • Galvanized sheet steel is preferably used as the material, which is painted before the profiling or coated with a colored film.
  • the C profile of the cross strut 4 and the box profile of the vertical struts 3 preferably have the same opening cross section on the inside.
  • the respective end openings 6 and 7 of vertical strut 3 and cross strut 4 serve as plug-in receptacles for a corner connector 8, which engages with its plug-in lugs 9 and 10 in the end openings 6 and 7, respectively, in a substantially precise fit.
  • the two plug inserts 9, 10 are arranged offset by 90 ° to one another, so that the corner plug connector 8 takes an L shape and the plug attachments 9, 10 represent the L legs.
  • the corner connectors 8 form at least the upper corners of the frame 2.
  • a central region 11 of the corner connector 8 forms the visible corner.
  • this central region 11 is preferably adapted to the outer contour of vertical struts 3 and cross strut 4 or projects beyond them.
  • Stop surfaces 12 are formed, on which the vertical struts 3 and cross strut 4 cut perpendicular to their longitudinal axis can strike flatly.
  • each plug insert 9, 10 has a threaded bore 13, 14 extending transversely to the respective plug direction, into which suitable screws for fastening to the struts 3, 4 can be screwed.
  • the guide opening 15 arranged parallel to its longitudinal extent can be used for this purpose.
  • the vertical strut 3 can have a corresponding opening 16.
  • the attachment e.g. on the vertical strut 3, can also be done in such a way that a countersunk screw is inserted in the threaded bore 13, which does not protrude beyond the outer surface of the plug-in projection 9, and the opening 16 has a diameter which is smaller than the head of the screw used, but is large enough to ensure access to the screw head by a tool.
  • the screw head can then be clamped against the inner wall of the vertical strut 3 when the corner connector 8 is inserted.
  • the corner connectors 8 can also be attached to the struts 3 from the front of the frame 2, since the fastening means do not protrude.
  • corner connector 8 with its plug inserts 9, 10 also as e.g. Aluminum die-cast part or plastic injection-molded part, can be made and for this reason can have corresponding stiffening ribs and cavities 17 to avoid material accumulation.
  • the corner connector 8 has a fastening point 18 in the form of a through hole, through which a screw 19 can be inserted, on the shaft of which a snap ring 19a is clamped in order to fix the screw 19 rotatably in the through hole, and its thread on the back the corner connector 8 protrudes over a large area, for example 10 cm.
  • the screw 19 represents a pivot axis for a fastening tab 20, which has a threaded sleeve 21 arranged thereon for receiving the screw 19.
  • the fastening tab 20 serves to fasten the wall element 1 to the wall and accordingly has an elongated hole 22 through which wall fastening screws can be inserted. By turning the screw 19, the distance between the fastening tab 20 and the frame 2 can be adjusted, so that the corresponding pretext elements 1 can be used for a relatively large wall clearance area.
  • Different screwing-in states are shown in FIG.
  • a snap ring 19b is inserted into the through hole in the corner connector 8 in such a way that it secures the head of the screw 19 axially in the through hole.
  • the screw 19 is then held rotatably in the corner connector 8.
  • the main supporting force is transmitted by the nut 19c and washer 19d screwed onto the thread of the screw 19, which are supported against the vertical strut 3.
  • the fastening tab 20 can also be designed, for example, as an aluminum die-cast element or a plastic element.
  • a hook member 23 is arranged set back from the rest of the support surface of the mounting bracket 20.
  • the hook element 23 is able to be hooked into a corresponding guide opening in a C-profile rail fastened to a mounting wall.
  • the assembly of the pretext elements 1 can be greatly simplified. If necessary, it can be attached to a C profile rail via a bore 24. From Fig.
  • fastening tab 20 can also have a plurality of elongated holes 22 in order to increase the number of different fastening options. Since the mounting bracket 20 on the pivot axis on Center region 11 of the corner connector 8 is pivotable, it can be attached to the mounting wall in a wide variety of positions.
  • the end region 25 of the fastening tab 20 which is arranged around the threaded sleeve 21 has a rounding which is concentric with the pivot axis and has a radius which essentially corresponds to the shortest distance A of the pivot axis on the corner connector 8 to its outer edge or to the upper edge of the cross strut 4. This ensures that the upper edge of the end region 25 and the upper side of the corner connector 8 together lie in a plane perpendicular to the front of the frame 2. This is particularly advantageous if the upper side of the pre-wall element 1 is to be used as a support for a storage surface arranged thereon.
  • These elements forming the shelf e.g. a gypsum fiber cement or gypsum plasterboard, then lie in the wall area on the support areas of the end areas 25 and are automatically aligned at a corresponding angle to the front of the wall element 1.
  • the above-mentioned plug-in construction of the frame 2 also offers the advantage that the struts 3, 4 do not have to be welded in a subsequent process. By simply plugging these components together, both a stable and an extremely precise design of the frame 2 is possible, so that a stringing together of several wall elements 1 is far less problematic due to the high dimensional accuracy than in the prior art.
  • the attachment of the pre-wall elements is very much simplified by the pivotable fastening tabs 20 fastened to the corner connectors 8. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the attachment of such fastening tabs 20 can also be used at other points on the pretext element 1 for correspondingly supporting attachments.
  • FIGS. 5, 6, 11 and 12 each show an embodiment of the pretext element 1 in which the lower end openings 6 of the vertical struts 3 for receiving essentially a precise fit Serve guide rails 26 which are supported telescopically in the vertical struts 3.

  • the bow spring 33 has two spring arms 34, the deflection of which takes place transversely to the insertion direction of the guide rails 26.

  • the screw 28 engages in the guide opening 15 of the guide rail 26.
  • This arrangement can be seen in particular (screw 28 not shown) in FIG. 12.
  • the bow spring 33 now has the purpose that the spring arms 34 exert a spring force on the side regions of the guide rails 26 even when the clamping nut 29 is released .
  • This spring force is preferably chosen so that the entire wall element 1 is not automatically adjusted by loosening the screws 28, but is held in its position.
  • a displacement of the guide rails 26 in the vertical struts 3 can only be done after a separate one Displacement take place, which in particular gives the installer enormous advantages when installing the pretext elements 1 because he does not have to hold them in a certain telescopic position.
  • the position or the exact height of the pretext element 1 is then fixed by tightening the screws 28.
  • the installer is not bound to certain pre-wall element heights and can adjust them according to customer requirements.
  • clamping nut 29 can also be, for example, an aluminum die-cast part or a plastic injection-molded part with a correspondingly curved leaf spring, and the clamping nut 29 can have corresponding ribs and cavities to avoid material accumulations.
  • the configuration described above with the telescopic guide rails 26 also has the advantage that two or more pretext elements can be placed on top of one another in the case of wall-high expansions such that the ends of the vertical struts 3 provided with the guide rails 26 point away from one another, so that the one pretext element Floor bar 27 is now located at the top and can be connected to the ceiling of the room (see also Fig. 2 right side). With this configuration, deviations in the room heights can be easily realized by the corresponding displacement of the guide rail 26 in the vertical struts 3.

  • the vertical struts 3 have a longitudinal web 5 which extends in their longitudinal extent and has three times the wall thickness of the rest of the profile (see also FIGS. 14 and 15). Triple the wall thickness of the longitudinal web 5 gives this a particularly high strength and the vertical strut 3 sufficient rigidity.

  • the attachment and support surface 76, 77 are arranged at right angles to each other.
  • the fastening and supporting surface 76, 77 each have two fastening openings 78 in the form of oblong holes that are open on one side. The open side of the fastening opening 78 is directed away from the support surface 75.
  • the center distance L of the two fastening openings 78 of the fastening and support surface 76, 77 corresponds to the width G of a C-profile to be connected by the support bracket 74, which can be a connecting strut 60 or a cross strut 4, based on wall elements 1.
  • the vertical distance M from the support surface 75 to the axis of the screws 79 later inserted into the fastening openings 78 corresponds essentially to half the C-profile width G / 2. This ensures when screwing onto a cross strut 4, for example, that the bearing surface 75 lies in one plane with the top of the cross strut 4 or the end regions 25 of the fastening tabs 20.
  • the support bracket 74 thus enables the connection of C-profiles in two planes, which results in a number of connection options through appropriate arrangement of the support bracket. Furthermore, the support bracket 74 can be used very well for supporting and fastening cover elements to be attached to the pre-wall element 1, for example gypsum fiber cement or gypsum plasterboard.
  • knobs 80 are arranged essentially parallel to the support surface 75 on the fastening and support surface 76, 77.
  • the knobs 80 have a parallel external distance P, which corresponds to the width of the guide opening 16 of a C profile rail 4, 60.
  • the axis of symmetry of the two rows is at a distance M from the support surface 75, which essentially corresponds to half the C-profile width G / 2.
  • the knobs 80 are used for guiding and aligning the support angle 74 in the guide opening 15 of a C-profile rail 4, 60. This makes it very easy to align the support angle 74 on a C-profile rail 4, 60 and using the screw 79 and nut 81 connect the C profile rails 4, 60.
  • the support surface 75 has an approximately L-shaped access opening 82, the L-legs of which are arranged parallel to the fastening and support surface 76, 77.
  • the access opening 82 enables a tool, in particular a wrench, to access the fastening means 79, 81 located in the respective fastening openings 78.
  • the access opening 82 serves as a fastening opening for mounting on the stud wall and overhead.
  • fastening openings and knobs can be arranged in the bearing surface 75, but these do not necessarily have to follow the dimensional specifications of the fastening openings 78 on the fastening and supporting surface 76, 77.
  • the fastening and supporting surface 76, 77 each have bores 76a, 77a which are used for fastening, in particular by means of self-tapping screws on a lightweight stand wall.
  • the support bracket 74 is preferably, as shown in the figures, made as a stamped and bent part made of sheet metal. It follows from the above that the support bracket 74 can fulfill several tasks as a multifunctional element. On the one hand, it serves as a contact surface on a wall element 1 and, on the other hand, it can be used for numerous different connection variants of C-profile rails 4, 60.
  • a truss variant which is capable of accommodating toilet attachments is explained in more detail below.
  • the crossbeam 35 consists of an essentially U-shaped support. Furthermore, the traverse 35 has recesses 83 in its U-legs 39. On both U-legs 39 there is a connection plate 84 which is connected to it by means of screws. The connection plate 84 projects downward over the cross member 35 and has an approximately T-shaped shape. The upper crossbeam of the T-shape covers the traverse 35 on its rear side and thus improves its torsional properties.
  • the recesses 83 of the crossbeam 35 are each associated with spring tongues 85 in the connecting plate 84, which are each formed in one piece with the closing plate 84.
  • the spring tongues 85 have at their end region facing away from the fixed end a spring lug 86 which projects in the direction of the cross member 35 beyond the remaining surface of the connecting plate 84.
  • the spring nose 86 is located in the region of the recess 83 or, as in the exemplary embodiment shown, somewhat below it.
  • the recesses 83 form a guide receptacle, which is covered by the connecting plate 84, for displaceably receiving guide rails 87.
  • Two guide rails 87 are arranged on each of a wall element 1 on a base strip 27 and fastened to the latter.
  • the guide bars 87 extend parallel to the vertical struts 3 upwards and have a width and thickness which leads to an essentially precisely fitting receptacle in the recesses 83 or the guide receptacle.
  • a U-shaped flat steel is preferably used as the material for the guide bars 87 in order to at the same time achieve a structure which is rigid in the direction of the load but is nevertheless relatively light.
  • On the connection plate 84 are the extension Guide recordings leading cover elements 88 arranged. On the one hand, this can be done, as shown in FIG. 1, by a plate attached to the cross member 35 or connecting plate 84, or, as shown in FIG. 31, by means of two essentially U-shaped sheets.
  • the guide rails 87 located in the guide receptacles are subjected to a spring force by the spring lugs 86, as can be seen in FIG. 33, so that the displacement of the bottom bar 27 or the guide rails 87 with respect to the cross member 35 and thus the entire frame 2 of the pretext element 1 can only be achieved by overcoming a predetermined force.
  • This force is preferably selected so that there is no displacement due to the weight forces on the wall element 1.
  • the traverse 35 is locked with the connecting plate 84 with respect to the base strip 27 by means of a stop device, the height of which can be seen from the lower ends of the vertical struts 3.
  • the stop device essentially consists of a threaded rod 90 which can be screwed in and out in an extension of the vertical struts 3 by means of an associated adjusting nut 89.
  • a plug 91 is fixedly arranged in the lower end of the vertical strut 3, which enables the threaded rod 90 to be passed through. however, is a support for the adjusting nuts 89.
  • the plug 91 can be supported by a collar on the end face of the vertical struts 3 or is connected to it by other fastening means.
  • the lower end of the threaded rod 90 is supported on the bottom bar 27.
  • the adjusting nut 89 is designed as a tilt nut for quick adjustment, so that the installer can make an adjustment as quickly as possible.
  • the threaded rod 90 in conjunction with the nut 89 allows a very precise and sensitive adjustment of the desired height of the cross member 35 and connecting plate 84.
  • corresponding fastening threaded bores are arranged either on the connecting plate 84 (FIG. 32) or on the cover elements 88 (FIG. 1), in the case of the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 31 to 33
  • the cover elements 88 have corresponding through openings 93 on the front.
  • the internally open configuration of the guide bars 87 also benefits from such a fastening. So that the pressure of the add-on elements can be absorbed over a large area, the front of the cover elements 88 lies in one plane with the front of the cross member 35. Since, for example, very large bending moments become effective when a hanging toilet bowl is attached, the cover elements 88 are supported on the guide rails 87, as a result of which deflection can be kept very easily to a tolerable level.
  • a heavy load foot 94 (FIG. 1) supporting these parts can be provided to further support the cross member 35 or the connecting plate 84 the floor mounting surface is mounted and attached to the back of the above parts and supports them.
  • the crossmember 35 can also be supported via fastening tabs 20 which are arranged accordingly. The structure and operation of the mounting tabs 20 is known from the above.
  • a further cross member 35 with corresponding recesses 83 for receiving the guide bars 87 can be arranged at the lower end region of the vertical struts 3.
  • the cover elements 88 are fastened to the connecting plate 84 via fastening tabs 104 which can be inserted and bent into corresponding receiving holes 103.
  • the openings resulting from the working out of the spring tongue 85 can also be used for this purpose. Especially this is the case if both the connection plate 84 and the cover elements 88 are made of sheet metal by means of a stamping and bending process.
  • the spring tongues 85 with their spring lugs 86 are then arranged on the connecting plate 84 by simply punching out and bending.
  • the cover element 88 (FIG. 1) or the connecting plate 84 (FIG. 32) have a holding opening 95 for holding and passing through an inlet pipe 96 from the cistern 45.
  • a ring preferably made of rubber, is seated in the holding opening 95 for sound-decoupled mounting of the inlet pipe 96.
  • a holder 98 is provided, which is preferably made of plastic and can be snapped onto the inlet pipe 96 via a snap clip 99.
  • a detachable and attachable latching bracket 100 is also arranged on the holder 98, through which a drain pipe 101 can be fastened to the holder 98 in a sound-decoupled manner.
  • connection plate 84 the connection plate 84 in the region of resilient tabs 102, so that the resilient tabs 102 are pulled firmly against the guide bars 87 by tightening the screws and thus additionally to secure positioning of the attachment elements to lead.
  • the resilient tabs 102 also take on the task of tolerance compensation in order to bridge manufacturing deviations.
  • an embodiment is also entirely feasible in which all the attachment elements are arranged on the frame 2, be it via the cross members 35 or other elements, for example cistern adapter 46, using sound decoupling elements.
  • these elements can also represent the sound decoupling elements themselves. Such measures lead to a drastic reduction in noise and thus ensure greater well-being for the later user.
  • the crossbeam 35 has a crossbeam main body 105 in which numerous fastening options in the form of openings 106, 107 and 108 can be attached for fastening components through which a fluid can flow. This traverse 35 can e.g. 5 and 6 can be used to attach fittings.
  • the end regions 109 of the cross member base body 105, each facing the struts 3, are each fastened with plastic screws to a connecting piece 111 with the interposition of a damping element 112.
  • the connecting piece 111 has a step-shaped cross section with essentially parallel end webs 113 and 114.
  • the first end web 113 overlaps a region of the cross-member base body 105 at a distance, so that the damping element 112 can be interposed.
  • the damping element 112 has corresponding openings for the screws 110.
  • Fastening openings 115 are provided on the second end web 114, which are dimensionally adapted to the grid dimension of the row of perforations arranged in the longitudinal web 5 of the vertical struts 3.
  • a locking plate (not shown) is used, which is arranged similarly to the locking plate 41, so that the longitudinal web 5 of the vertical struts 3 is located between the second end web 114 and the locking plate.
  • the locking plate preferably has at least one locking lug, which engages accordingly in a locking hole 36.
  • the sound decoupling achieved by this truss variant meets the highest requirements for permissible noise reduction requirements.
  • the separate decoupling of each component is not absolutely necessary, but can still be carried out.
  • pretext elements 1 can be seen in particular with the aid of the means described above. This configuration provides a wide variety of arrangement options for sanitary installations in the room.
