Abstract

The frame has two vertical struts (2) and at least one cross member (8,9,11), which can be selectively attached to the struts at different heights. The cross members are guided height adjustably at their ends on perforated catch rails (4) of the struts. The cross members have catch parts which engage with the rails, and which can be brought in and out of engagement with the rails. Each catch part has at least one sprung protrusion (18) for engaging with the rails.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rahmen für die Montage von Sanitärartikeln gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a frame for the assembly of sanitary articles according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Rahmen dieser Art ist im Stand der Technik aus der EP A 0 731 224 bekannt geworden. Bei diesem sind die Vertikalstreben aus einem rollgeformten Kastenhohlprofil mit seitlich angeordneten Längsstreben gebildet, in die Lochrastreihen eingearbeitet sind. Auf diese Streben werden Traversen wahlweise in verschiedenen Höhen aufgesetzt und mit Arretierplatten und Schrauben befestigt. Vor dem Festschrauben mit den Arretierplatten werden die Traversen jeweils mit Rastnasen fixiert. Muss eine Traverse nach ihrer Befestigung aus irgendwelchen Gründen wieder verschoben werden, müssen die Arretierplatten wieder gelöst und die Traversen abgenommen werden. Anschliessen muss die Traverse wieder neu an den Vertikalstreben positioniert und angeschraubt werden, was umständlich und zeitaufwändig ist. Nachteilig ist auch, dass die Schrauben und Arretierplatten Einzelteile sind und vergleichsweise aufwändig mit einem Werkzeug angebracht werden müssen.A frame of this kind has become known in the prior art from EP A 0 731 224. In this, the vertical struts are formed from a roll-formed box hollow profile with laterally arranged longitudinal struts, are incorporated in the Lochrastreihen. On this struts trusses are optionally placed in different heights and secured with locking plates and screws. Before tightening with the locking plates, the trusses are each fixed with locking lugs. If a traverse has to be moved again for any reason after it has been fastened, the locking plates must be loosened again and the traverses must be removed. The traverse must then be repositioned and screwed on the vertical struts again, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Another disadvantage is that the screws and locking plates are individual parts and must be relatively laboriously mounted with a tool.

Aus der DE U 94 12 649 ist ein Rahmen für die Vorwandmontage bekannt geworden. Dieser besitzt Vertikalstreben mit einem U- oder C-Profil, deren Schenkelzahnreihen Rastermass besitzen. Die Traversen greifen mit ihren Schenkeln in Zwischenräume der Vertikalstreben ein. Die Befestigung der positionierten Traversen erfolgt mit in den Vertikalstreben geführten Nutenschienen, die Schrauben aufnehmen, welche die Traverse gegen die Vertikalstrebe drücken. Auch bei diesem Rahmen sind Einzelteile und Werkzeuge für die Montage erforderlich. Ein Verstellen einer falsch befestigten Traverse ist aufwändig.From DE U 94 12 649 a frame for the front wall mounting has become known. This has vertical struts with a U or C profile, whose Schenkelelzahnreihen have grid size. The trusses intervene with their legs in intermediate spaces of the vertical struts. The attachment of the positioned trusses takes place with grooves in the vertical struts, pick up the screws that press the crossbar against the vertical strut. Also with this frame items and tools for assembly are required. An adjustment of a wrongly fixed traverse is complex.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Rahmen der genannten Art zu schaffen, der eine einfachere und rationellere Montage ermöglicht. Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Rahmen gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.The invention has for its object to provide a frame of the type mentioned, which allows a simpler and more rational assembly. The object is achieved in a generic frame according to claim 1.

Der erfindungsgemässe Rahmen ermöglicht eine Positionierung und Feststellung der Traversen ohne zusätzliche Einzelteile und ohne Werkzeug. Um die Traversen in die vorgesehenen Höhenpositionen zu bringen, werden die Rastorgane in eine Position gebracht, mit der sie mit den Vertikalstreben nicht in Eingriff sind. Die Traversen können nun an den Vertikalstreben geführt in der Höhe verstellt werden. Die Befestigung der positionierten Traversen erfolgt mit den Rastorganen. Mit den Rastorganen werden die Traversen somit an den Vertikalstreben befestigt und nicht lediglich positioniert. Weitere Befestigungsteile wie Schrauben, Arretierplatten und dergleichen sind nicht erforderlich.The inventive frame allows positioning and determination of the trusses without additional items and without tools. To bring the trusses in the intended height positions, the locking members are brought into a position with which they are not in engagement with the vertical struts. The trusses can now be adjusted in height on the vertical struts. The attachment of the positioned trusses is done with the locking members. With the locking members, the trusses are thus attached to the vertical struts and not merely positioned. Other fasteners such as screws, locking plates and the like are not required.

Weisen die Rastorgane gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung jeweils eine gefederte Rastnase auf, so ist ein Lösen der Rastverbindung beispielsweise mittels eines Druckknopfes sehr einfach möglich. Die Traversen können dann ohne weiteres mehrmals befestigt und wieder verschoben werden. Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Rastorgane jeweils stirnseitig auf die Traverse aufgesteckt. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Montage der Rastorgane und diese bilden dann mit der Traverse eine Einheit.Assign the detent organs according to a development of the invention each have a spring-loaded detent, so a release of the locking connection is very easy, for example by means of a push button. The trusses can then be easily attached and moved again several times. According to a development of the invention, the locking members are each frontally attached to the crossbar. This allows a particularly simple installation of the locking members and these then form a unit with the traverse.

Nach der Erfindung weisen die Vertikalstreben einen vertikal verlaufenden Führungskanal auf, der jeweils durch ein Rahmenprofil und eine separat hergestellte und am Rahmenprofil befestigte Lochrastschiene gebildet ist. Die Traversen greifen jeweils mit ihren beiden Enden in diese Führungskanäle ein. Die separate Herstellung der Lochrastschienen hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass mit dem gleichen Rahmenprofil Rahmen mit unterschiedlichen Lochrastschienen hergestellt werden können. Damit kann beispielsweise die Höhe der Lochrastschienen an die jeweiligen Bedingungen angepasst werden. Der Rahmen bleibt hierbei der gleiche. Dies vereinfacht die Lagerhaltung und verbilligt die Herstellung.According to the invention, the vertical struts on a vertically extending guide channel, which is formed in each case by a frame profile and a separately prepared and fixed to the frame profile Lochrastschiene. The trusses each engage with their two ends in these guide channels. The separate production of the Lochrastschienen has the significant advantage that with the same frame profile frame can be made with different Lochrastschienen. Thus, for example, the height of the Lochrastschienen be adapted to the particular conditions. The frame remains the same. This simplifies warehousing and reduces production costs.

Wie die Figur 1 zeigt, weist der Rahmen 1 zwei parallele und im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Vertikalstreben 2 sowie vier quer zu den Vertikalstreben 2 verlaufenden Traversen 8, 9, 10 und 11 auf. Der Rahmen 1 dient insbesondere zur Montage eines hier nicht gezeigten Urinals. Dazu wird der Rahmen 1 ausgemauert. An der mittleren Traverse 9 werden hier nicht gezeigte horizontale sich nach vorne erstreckende Gewindestangen angebracht, die das Urinal tragen. Die Befestigung der Gewindestangen wird weiter unten erläutert. Die oberste Traverse 8 dient zur Befestigung eines Spülrohres 7. An der unteren Traverse 11 wird ein hier nicht gezeigtes Ablaufrohr befestigt.As FIG. 1 shows, the frame 1 has two parallel and mutually spaced vertical struts 2 and four transverse to the vertical struts 2 extending trusses 8, 9, 10 and 11. The frame 1 is used in particular for mounting a urinal, not shown here. For this the frame 1 is bricked up. At the central cross member 9 horizontal not shown here extending forward threaded rods are attached, which carry the urinal. The attachment of the threaded rods will be explained below. The top traverse 8 is used to attach a flushing pipe 7. At the lower cross member 11 a not shown here drain pipe is attached.

Die beiden Streben 2 bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem Rahmenprofil 3 und einer Lochrastschiene 4, die gemäss Figur 4 ein Winkelprofil ist und über die ganze Länge Schlitze 6 aufweist. Die Lochrastschienen 4 sind beispielsweise mit hier nicht gezeigtem Druckfügen derart an den Rahmenprofilen 3 angebracht, dass zwischen einem Abbug 24 des Rahmenprofils 3 und der Lochrastschiene 4 ein sich vertikal erstreckender Führungskanal 25 gebildet wird, wie die Figur 3 zeigt. Die Traversen 8, 9 und 11 greifen mit ihren Enden jeweils in einen solchen Kanal 25 ein und sind in diesem stufenlos höhenverstellbar geführt.The two struts 2 consist essentially of a frame profile 3 and a Lochrastschiene 4, which is an angle profile according to Figure 4 and over the entire length slots 6 has. The Lochrastschienen 4 are mounted, for example, not shown here with pressure joining to the frame profiles 3 that between a Abbug 24 of the frame section 3 and the Lochrastschiene 4 a vertically extending guide channel 25 is formed, as Figure 3 shows. The trusses 8, 9 and 11 engage with their ends in each case in such a channel 25 and are guided in this infinitely adjustable in height.

Die Traversen 8, 9 und 11 sind jeweils an jedem ihrer Enden mit einem Rastorgan 5 versehen. Diese Rastorgane 5 sind in den Figuren 6 und 7 dargestellt und werden stirnseitig auf die Traversen 8, 9 und 11 aufgeschoben. Die Figur 5 zeigt die Traverse 2 mit zwei aufgeschobenen oder aufgesteckten Rastorganen 5. Damit die Rastorgane 5 in der im Querschnitt U-förmigen Traverse 8 gehalten ist, besitzt sie nach innen vorspringende Vorsprünge 14. Diese können Ausstanzungen oder Prägungen sein.The trusses 8, 9 and 11 are each provided at each end with a locking member 5. These locking members 5 are shown in Figures 6 and 7 and are the front side pushed onto the trusses 8, 9 and 11. 5 shows the cross member 2 with two pushed or plugged locking members 5. So that the locking members 5 is held in the cross-sectionally U-shaped traverse 8, it has inwardly projecting projections 14. These can be punched or stamped.

Die Rastorgane 5 sind alle gleich ausgebildet. Sie bestehen jeweils aus einem Gehäuse 15, einer Druckfeder 19 sowie einem beweglichen Teil 16. Der bewegliche Teil 16 kann gegen die rückwirkende Kraft der Feder 19 in Figur 7 nach unten bewegt werden, bis eine Rastnase 18 an einer Innenseite 15a des Gehäuses 15 ansteht. In der gezeigten Position ist der bewegliche Teil 16 nach oben gegen zwei nach innen vorspringende Anschläge 20 gespannt. An der Rastnase 18 sind zwei vorspringende Teile 18a angeformt, die so ausgebildet sind, dass sie jeweils in drei benachbarte Schlitze 6 der Lochrastschiene 4 eingreifen können. Das Gehäuse 15 und der bewegliche Teil 16 sind vorzugsweise als Spritzgussteile aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Der bewegliche Teil 16 weist einen Tastknopf 17 auf, der an der Hinterseite der Traverse 8 vorsteht, wie die Figur 3 zeigt. Durch Drücken des Tastknopfes 17 lassen sich die vorspringenden Teile 18a im Gehäuse 15 versenken. In der in Figur 7 gezeigen Position greifen die vorspringenden Teile 18a in Schlitze 6 einer Lochrastschiene 4 ein und verhindern damit eine Verschiebung der Traverse 8 in Längsrichtung der Vertikalstreben 2. Die Rastverbindung wird gelöst, indem der bewegliche Teil 16 am Tastknopf 17 zur Traverse 8 hin bewegt und damit die Rastnase 18 versenkt wird. Sind beide Rastverbindungen der Traverse gelöst, so kann die Traverse 8 stufenlos in der Höhe verstellt werden, wobei die beiden Enden der Traverse 8 in den Kanälen 25 geführt ist. Die beiden anderen Traversen 8, 9 und 11 sind mit gleichen Rastorganen 5 ausgerüstet. Das Lösen und Verstellen dieser Traversen 9 und 11 erfolgt auf die gleiche Weise wie oben erläutert. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung, bei der nicht sämtliche Traversen 8, 9 und 11 mit Rastorganen 5 versehen sind.The locking members 5 are all the same. They each consist of a housing 15, a compression spring 19 and a movable part 16. The movable part 16 can be moved against the retroactive force of the spring 19 in Figure 7 down until a locking lug 18 is present on an inner side 15 a of the housing 15. In the position shown, the movable part 16 is stretched upward against two inwardly projecting stops 20. On the locking lug 18, two projecting parts 18a are formed, which are formed so that they can each engage in three adjacent slots 6 of the Lochrastschiene 4. The housing 15 and the movable part 16 are preferably made of plastic as injection-molded parts. The movable part 16 has a push button 17 which protrudes on the rear side of the traverse 8, as shown in FIG. By pressing the push button 17, the protruding parts 18a can be recessed in the housing 15. In the position shown in FIG. 7, the projecting parts 18a engage in slots 6 of a snap-action locking rail 4 and thus prevent a displacement of the crossbeam 8 in the longitudinal direction of the vertical struts 2. The catch connection is released by the movable part 16 on the contact button 17 towards the crossbeam 8 moved and thus the Latch 18 is sunk. If both latching connections of the traverse are released, then the traverse 8 can be adjusted continuously in height, the two ends of the traverse 8 being guided in the channels 25. The other two trusses 8, 9 and 11 are equipped with the same locking members 5. The release and adjustment of these trusses 9 and 11 takes place in the same manner as explained above. Also conceivable is an embodiment in which not all trusses 8, 9 and 11 are provided with locking members 5.

Die Traverse 9 weist zwei sich in Längsrichtung dieser Traverse 9 erstreckende, symmetrisch angeordnete Ausnehmungen 12 auf, die gemäss Figur 8 am oberen Rand eine zahnförmige Profilierung 13 besitzt. Die Ausnehmungen 12 sind beispielsweise Ausstanzungen der Frontseite der Traverse 9. Diese beiden Ausnehmungen 12 dienen zur lösbaren Fixierung von zwei Gewindestangen 26, von denen eine in Figur 11 schematisch dargestellt ist. Zur Befestigung der beiden Gewindestangen 26 sind zwei Sockelmuttern 21 vorgesehen, die jeweils in eine der beiden Ausnehmungen 12 einzusetzen sind. Zur Ausbildung dieser Sockelmuttern 21 wird auch auf die europäische Patentschrift EP-B-0 407 351 des Anmelders verwiesen. Die Sockelmuttern 21 weisen jeweils ein Innengewinde 22 auf, das gemäss Figur 11 mit einem keilförmigen Schlitz 27 teilweise getrennt ist. Durch den Schlitz 27 sind zwei radial gegeneinander bewegliche Klemmteile 29 gebildet. Sind die Sockelmuttern 21 gemäss Figur 11 in die entsprechende Ausnehmung 12 eingerastet, so üben die beiden Klemmteile 29 auf die Gewindestange 26 eine Klemmwirkung auf, durch welche diese verdrehsicher festgehalten ist. Wie die Figur 9 zeigt, weisen die Sockelmuttern 21 im Klemmbereich Profilierungen 23 auf, die korrespondierend zur Profilierung 13 ausgebildet sind. Eine in eine Ausnehmung 12 eingerastete Sockelmutter 21 ist damit mit einer Profilierung 23 gegen eine Verschiebung in Längsrichtung der Traverse gesichert. Eine derartige Sockelmutter 21 kann, bevor die Gewindestange 26 montiert ist, gelöst und stufenweise positioniert werden, wenn die beiden Klemmteile 29 elastisch gegeneinander bewegt werden. Dies kann von Hand und damit ohne Werkzeug erfolgen. Die Sockelmuttern 21 können somit in einfacher Weise von Hand in den Ausnehmungen 12 positioniert und in Längsrichtung der Traverse verschoben werden. Bei montierter Gewindestange 26 ist die Sockelmutter 21 horizontal nicht verschiebbar. Für die Montage ist nun wesentlich, dass sowohl die Höhenverstellung der Traversen 8, 9, und 11 als auch die horizontale Verschiebung und Positionierung der Sockelmuttern 21 grundsätzlich in ähnlicher Weise erfolgt. Die wesentlichen Schritte sind das Positionieren, das Verschieben und das Einrasten. Sämtliche Schritte können ohne Werkzeuge erfolgen. Nach dem Einmauern sind die Gewindestangen 26 durch die Ausmauerung getragen. An die Haltekraft der Sockelmuttern 21 und der Traverse 9 sind keine hohen Anforderungen gestellt.The traverse 9 has two, in the longitudinal direction of the traverse 9 extending symmetrically arranged recesses 12, which has a tooth-shaped profile 13 according to Figure 8 at the top. The recesses 12 are for example punched out of the front side of the traverse 9. These two recesses 12 are used for releasably fixing two threaded rods 26, one of which is shown schematically in Figure 11. For fastening the two threaded rods 26, two base nuts 21 are provided, which are each to be inserted into one of the two recesses 12. For the formation of these base nuts 21 reference is also made to the European patent EP-B-0 407 351 of the applicant. The base nuts 21 each have an internal thread 22, which is partially separated according to Figure 11 with a wedge-shaped slot 27. Through the slot 27 two radially mutually movable clamping members 29 are formed. If the base nuts 21 according to FIG. 11 are latched into the corresponding recess 12, then the two clamping parts 29 exert a clamping effect on the threaded rod 26, by means of which this is held against rotation. As FIG. 9 shows, the base nuts 21 in the clamping region have profilings 23 which are formed corresponding to the profiling 13. A locked in a recess 12 base nut 21 is thus secured with a profiling 23 against displacement in the longitudinal direction of the traverse. Such a base nut 21, before the threaded rod 26 is mounted, dissolved and gradually be positioned when the two clamping members 29 are elastically moved against each other. This can be done by hand and thus without tools. The base nuts 21 can thus be easily positioned by hand in the recesses 12 and moved in the longitudinal direction of the traverse. When mounted threaded rod 26, the base nut 21 is not horizontally displaceable. For the assembly is now essential that both the height adjustment of the trusses 8, 9, and 11 and the horizontal displacement and positioning of the base nuts 21 is basically done in a similar manner. The essential steps are positioning, moving and locking. All steps can be done without tools. After walling the threaded rods 26 are supported by the lining. At the holding force of the base nuts 21 and the cross member 9 no high demands are made.
