Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device with functional parts, in particular for shower rooms or bathrooms, according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from the German utility model DE 295 01 370 U1, which is designed as a cabinet furniture that can be dismantled and contains a vertical rod.
  • the rod is passed through at least one shelf element, which has holes provided in opposite horizontal directions for the passage of the rod. If several such box-shaped shelf elements are provided, these must be stacked one above the other, and a free specification of the spacing of the individual shelf elements from one another cannot easily be carried out.
  • the rod penetrates the interior of the shelf element, so that the interior to Storage and arrangement of objects cannot be used completely and unhindered.
  • a support device of a housing with two lateral profile bars is known.
  • the profile bars each contain at least one lateral longitudinal groove for connecting elements.
  • the above-mentioned connecting elements are connected to the housing at the top and bottom and are carried out from the inside of the respective side wall to the outside.
  • the connecting element has an arm extending to the profile rod for receiving a bolt. This bolt engages partially in the longitudinal groove of the profile rod, the connection being able to be established with a washer and a nut.
  • the arm of the connecting element and the bolt mentioned are arranged outside the housing and not only interfere with the design of the device, but also require a comparatively large lever arm and must therefore be of a correspondingly strong and solid design.
  • German utility model DE 295 08 933 U1 which contains holding elements for receiving the functional parts.
  • the holding elements consist of interconnected pipes which are provided with fastening points for attachment to a wall and / or a floor.
  • the functional parts can be designed as towel hooks, clothes hooks, laundry containers or the like, which are connected to the pipes with special anchoring and connecting elements.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop a device of the type mentioned in such a way that many different combinations and possible arrangements of the functional parts are achieved with a simple and nevertheless functionally reliable construction.
  • the proposed device is characterized by a functional and stable construction and can be modified according to requirements without any problems.
  • the profile rod contains at least one rear-engaging longitudinal groove, is preferably arranged vertically and stands with its lower end on the floor of the bathroom.
  • the profile rod is designed as a hollow profile, and an extension profile can be used telescopically in the upper end, with which the connection to the ceiling of the bathroom can be established.
  • the extension profile can be angularly formed at the free end within the scope of the invention, so as to enable connection to a room wall.
  • the functional parts are in particular in the form of cuboid-shaped containers or boxes, storage shelves, towel racks or the like and are connected to the profile rod via connecting elements.
  • the connecting elements can be inserted into the at least one rear-engaging longitudinal groove, and the respective functional part is fixed by means of fastening elements, in particular designed as screws.
  • the functional parts can easily be fixed in the longitudinal direction of the profile bar at the desired position, i.e. with vertical alignment of the profile bar at the desired height above the floor.
  • the functional part in particular with a wall, expediently bears directly on the profile rod. This ensures a good system, with unfavorable lever torques being avoided in a practical manner.
  • the functional part preferably bears on the outer surfaces of webs of the rear-engaging longitudinal groove, so that contact and pressure of the functional part against the profile rod is ensured over comparatively large surfaces.
  • the connecting element is arranged essentially within the longitudinal groove and is advantageously covered by the functional part, so that additional measures for facing are avoided and an appealing design is ensured.
  • a single connecting element is provided for the respective functional part, which contains two axially spaced coupling parts, recesses or the like for two fastening elements, in particular screws, for the functional part.
  • the profile bar expediently contains two diametrically arranged longitudinal grooves, so that the functional parts can be arranged and fixed in the desired position on both sides of the profile bar.
  • the profile rod and also the extension profile are expediently made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, the outer surfaces being designed without difficulty in the desired colors, in particular in the usual sanitary colors, so as to harmoniously design a room or bathroom in the desired colors or structures to obtain.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the device with the vertically aligned profile rod 2, which stands with its lower end 4 on a floor 6, in particular a bathroom.
  • the profile bar 2 has a length 8 on the order of 2 m to 2.30 m, and the upper end of the vertically arranged profile bar 2 is thus at a height 8 corresponding to the floor 6.
  • the profile bar is designed as a hollow profile, and In the upper end 10, an extension profile 12 is inserted, which rests at the top, in particular via a fastening head 14, against a ceiling 16 of the room or bathroom and is anchored there. Furthermore, the lower end 4 of the profile rod 2 is connected to the floor 6 in a manner not shown here.
  • extension profile 12 can also be coupled to the profile rod 2 at its upper end 10 by means not shown here, for example by means of screws or the like.
  • the extension profile 12 has an overall length which is greater than the part visible in the drawing and can thus be telescopic with respect to the hollow profile rod 2 can be aligned to allow adaptation to different ceiling heights.
  • the extension profile 2 is not designed as a straight rod, but instead is provided with an angled part at the free end instead of the fastening head 14 or is correspondingly angled.
  • the fastening and anchoring of the profile rod can also be carried out on a room wall without any problems. Regardless of the particular design of the extension profile, this can be at least partially telescopically inserted into the interior of the profile rod and is adjustable in height in the required manner.
  • the profile rod 2 has two longitudinal grooves, of which only one longitudinal groove 18 is visible here.
  • the second longitudinal groove is arranged diametrically on the other side of the profile rod.
  • Various functional parts are attached to the profile rod 2 in 21 to 24, which are designed as cuboid containers or boxes.
  • a further functional part 25 is provided, which is designed as a towel holder.
  • the cuboid-shaped containers 21 to 24 are closed on five sides and each have an opening 26.
  • the containers 21 and 24 are connected to the profile rod 2 such that the openings 26 are each in a vertical plane.
  • the openings 26 of the two containers 22, 23 each lie at the upper end in a horizontal plane.
  • the mentioned rear-engaging longitudinal grooves enable the functional parts to be arranged in the desired height and / or the desired number, the positioning and fastening being able to be carried out in a simple manner.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged part of the device, the functional parts or containers 21, 23 are only partially shown.
  • a side wall 28 of the container 21 four bores 30, 31 are arranged in a cross shape such that two of these bores 30 and 31 are arranged in a line parallel to the plane of the opening 26 or in a line orthogonal to this plane.
  • the opening 26 of the container 21 lies in a vertical plane and two fastening elements 32 in the form of screws can be inserted into the bores 30 parallel thereto.
  • a connecting element 34 is arranged in the rear groove 18, which is only partially recognizable.
  • the connecting element 34 ' is shown in a position before insertion into the longitudinal groove.
  • the connecting element 34 ' is designed as an essentially rectangular plate, the width 36 of which is at least approximately the same size, but is not greater than the width 38 of the longitudinal groove 18.
  • the thickness of the connecting element 34 is matched to the depth of the longitudinal groove 18, so that the connecting element 34 is inserted into the rear-engaging longitudinal groove 18 and can be moved in this in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the profile rod 2.
  • the connecting element 34 has two recesses 40, the spacing 42 of which is essentially the same as the spacing 44 of the bores 30 and 31, respectively.
  • the functional part 21 which is arranged opposite the longitudinal groove 18
  • Connecting element 34 is provided, which has the two recesses 40 and / or projections 46 at a predetermined distance 42.
  • the connecting element 34 is arranged essentially completely within the longitudinal groove 18 and is completely covered by the functional part in the assembled state, so that additional facing measures are unnecessary.
  • the functional part 21 lies with the wall 28 directly on the profile rod 2, so that unfavorable lever arms and a resulting strong dimensioning, in particular the profile rod and the connecting element and the fastening elements or screws 32, can be expediently avoided.
  • the recesses 40 are each at least partially provided in a preferably annular extension 46 of the connecting element 34. Furthermore, the recesses 40 also at least partially penetrate the connecting element 34 and contain an internal thread corresponding to the external thread of the screws 32. By screwing the screws 32 penetrating the bores 30 into the threads of the recesses 40, the container 21 can thus have the desired height or length the profile rod 2 can be positioned. It should be noted that by rotating the container 21 such that its opening 26 lies in an upper horizontal plane, the bores 31 are aligned parallel to the longitudinal groove 18, the container 21 can, if necessary, also be mounted pivoted through 90 °, as is the case for example the container 23.
  • the profile rod 2 contains the two diametrically located longitudinal grooves 18, 19 and, moreover, an inner cavity 50 which, like the longitudinal grooves 18, 19, extends over the entire length of the profile rod 2.
  • the cavity 15 preferably has a circular cross-sectional area and enables the insertion of the already mentioned extension profile.
  • the width 36, which is present in the interior of the longitudinal grooves 18, 19, is smaller by a predetermined amount than a distance 52 in the region of the opening of the longitudinal groove between its angled webs 54, 55.
  • the above-mentioned lugs 46 of the connecting element 34 indicate that Width 52 of the groove opening matched outer dimensions, and the lugs 46 thus extend through the opening of the longitudinal groove to the outside.
  • the thickness of the connecting element 34 and ultimately the depth of the longitudinal grooves 18, 19 can be predefined comparatively small, since the internal thread of the recesses has a sufficient length and load-bearing capacity for the screws 32 to be screwed in.
  • the webs 54, 55 of the engaging groove 19 form the direct contact surface of the functional part 23, or its side wall 29.
  • the functional part 23 bears directly against the webs 44, 45 with the entire height 56 of the wall 29.
  • the power transmission from the functional part 23 takes place via a comparatively large contact surface on the adjacent areas of the outside of the webs 54, 55, so that large surface pressures are avoided as well as damage or even tearing of the webs 54, 55. Even with comparatively large loads to be absorbed consequently, the webs 54, 55 are not excessively large.
  • the outer surfaces 58, 59 of the webs 54, 55 facing the respective functional part are at least partially arranged in a common plane which defines the contact surface of the side wall of the assigned functional part.
  • the other outer surfaces 60, 61 of the profiled rod 2 are otherwise rounded, the profiled rod 2 overall having an approximately oval cross section with flattened ends, in the area of which the longitudinal grooves 18 lie.
