Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Abdeckvorrichtung für Aussparungen verfliester Wände, mit den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a covering device for tiled recesses Walls, with the features in the generic term of claim 1.

Eine solche Abdeckvorrichtung ist aus der EP 0 498 789 B bekannt, wobei den Befestigungsbeschlägen Halterungsstücke einer in die Aussparung einsetzbaren Deckelhalterung zugeordnet sind und die Halterungsstücke Stützkanten bilden, welche Stützkanten mit den Stützzungen der Befestigungsbeschläge eine Art offenes Scharnier ergeben, das einerseits eine gewisse Schwenk- oder Verschiebebewegung des Deckels relativ zur Deckelhalterung und anderseits mit einem Handgriff ein Abnehmen oder Einhängen des Deckels von der bzw. in die Dekkelhalterung erlaubt. Allerdings erfordert diese bekannte Abdeckvorrichtung zusätzlich zu den Befestigungsbeschlägen mit den Stützzungen bzw. den Halterungsbeschlägen mit den Stützkanten eigene Fixierbeschläge, die meist aus Fixiermagneten und ferro- magnetischen Halteplatten oder aus Federschnappern u. dgl. bestehen. Diese Fixierbeschläge erhöhen aber den Herstellungsaufwand der Abdeckvorrichtung und führen zu einer umständlicheren Montage.Such a covering device is known from EP 0 498 789 B, the Fastening fittings Brackets one can be inserted into the recess Lid holder are assigned and the holder pieces form supporting edges, which support edges with the support tongues of the fastening fittings are a kind open hinge result, on the one hand, a certain pivoting or sliding movement of the lid relative to the lid holder and on the other hand with a Handle to remove or hang the lid from or in the lid holder allowed. However, this known covering device additionally requires to the fastening fittings with the support tongues or the bracket fittings with the supporting edges own fixing fittings, which mostly consist of Fixing magnets and ferromagnetic holding plates or from spring catches u. Like exist. However, these fixing fittings increase the manufacturing effort the cover device and lead to a more complicated assembly.

Gemäß der FR 2 079 889 A wurde auch schon eine Abdeckvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, deren Deckel mittels an der Deckelrückseite befestigter Federspangen in die Aussparungen eingesetzt werden, wobei die Federspangen einen seitlich neben dem Deckelrand bis zur Deckelvorderseite zurückgeführten freien Federschenkel mit einem auswärts abgewinkelten Ende zum Einhaken am Aussparungsrand bilden. Dadurch muß jedoch zwischen Deckel und Aussparungsrand ein ausreichend großer Randspalt für den Durchgriff der Federschenkel freigehalten werden und die den Aussparungsrand außenseitig übergreifenden Federschenkelenden ragen sichtbar über die verflieste Wandfläche od. dgl. vor. Dazu kommt noch, daß die an den Aussparungsrändern einzuhakenden Federschenkel keine anschlagbestimmte, sondern nur eine von der Federspangenverformung abhängige Schließstellung des Deckels erlauben und es somit für den Deckel keinen lagesicheren, ordnungsgemäßen Sitz in der Aussparung gibt.According to FR 2 079 889 A, a covering device has already been proposed, whose lid by means of spring clips attached to the back of the lid be inserted into the recesses, the spring clips on the side next to the edge of the lid to free spring legs returned to the front of the lid form an outward angled end for hooking on the recess edge. Thereby however, there must be a sufficiently large edge gap between the cover and the recess edge the passage of the spring legs are kept clear and the recess edge on the outside overlapping spring leg ends protrude visibly over the tiled wall surface or the like. On top of that comes the fact that those to be hooked on the recess edges Spring leg not a stop-specific one, but only one of the spring clip deformation allow dependent closed position of the lid and therefore none for the lid positionally secure, proper fit in the recess.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Abdeckung der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, die sich sowohl durch ihre einfache Montierbarkeit und ihre weite Anwendbarkeit auszeichnet.The invention is therefore based on the object of covering the above Art to create that stands out both for its ease of assembly and its wide applicability distinguished.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe durch die Merkmale im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1. Diese Abdeckvorrichtung benötigt aussparungsseitig keinerlei den Befestigungsbeschlägen zugeordnete Halterungsbeschläge, denn die Biegefedem können sich mit ihren gekrümmten Federschenkeln an der rohen Aussparungslaibung abstützen oder eine dünnere Wand im Aussparungsbereich hintergreifen, womit ein ausreichend fester Sitz des Deckels in der Aussparung gewährleistet ist. Die Federschenkel können dabei an sich unterschiedlich gestaltet sein, sofeme sie hinter der Deckelrückseite verbleiben und ihre Stützfunktion ausüben. Zum Abschließen der Aussparung braucht demnach der Deckel mit seinen Stützzungen nur mehr in die Aussparung eingedrückt zu werden, wobei sich die Federschenkel entsprechend Krümmen und zur Deckelhalterung vorgespannt werden. Durch einander gegenüberliegende Biegefedern kommt es zu einer selbsttätigen Zentrierung und verstärkten Klemmung, wobei die in die Aussparung hineinragenden Federschenkel von außen unsichtbar bleiben und auch keinerlei Randfuge zwischen Deckel und Aussparungsrand erfordern. Der in seinem Randbereich durch die Biegefedem unbeeinträchtige Deckel kann daher mit oder ohne Fugenausbildung in die Aussparung eingesetzt werden und für einen ordnungsgemäßen Deckelsitz lassen sich schwierigkeitslos Randansätze als Deckelanschlag od. dgl. vorbereiten bzw. nützen. Es kommt zu einer lagesicheren Abdeckung der Aussparung, wobei sich der Deckel durch gerichtetes Einschieben der Stützzungen in die Aussparung bequem positionieren und unter Federbelastung in Schließstellung halten bzw. durch einfaches Abziehen abnehmen läßt, so daß die Abdeckvorrichtung überaus handhabungsfreundlich ist.The invention achieves the stated object the features in the characterizing part of claim 1. This cover device does not require any mounting fittings assigned to the mounting fittings on the recess side, because the spiral springs can with their curved spring legs Support on the raw recess reveal or a thinner wall in the recess area reach behind, which ensures a sufficiently firm fit of the lid in the recess is. The spring legs can be designed differently per se, sofeme they remain behind the back of the lid and perform their supporting function. To finish the recess only needs the cover with its support tongues the recess to be pressed in, with the spring legs correspondingly Curved and biased to the lid bracket. By facing each other Bending springs result in automatic centering and increased clamping, the spring legs protruding into the recess remain invisible from the outside and none at all Require edge joint between cover and recess edge. The one in its edge area through the flexible spring unimpeded cover can therefore with or without joint formation be inserted into the recess and leave for a proper cover seat prepare or use edge approaches as a lid stop or the like without difficulty. There is a positionally secure covering of the cutout, with the cover itself Position the directional insertion of the support tongues in the recess and under Hold the spring load in the closed position or remove it by simply pulling it off leaves, so that the covering device is extremely easy to use.

Um beim Schließen des Deckels das Einschieben der Federschenkel entlang der Aussparungslaibung zu erleichtern und ein Spießen der Federschenkel zu verhindern, bildet der Federschenkel ein einwärts gebogenes Ende, das wie ein Gleitschuh wirkt.To insert the spring legs along the recess reveal when closing the lid to facilitate and prevent the feather legs from being skewed Spring leg an inward bent end that acts like a sliding shoe.

Eine verflieste Wand 1 weist eine Aussparung 2 und eine Abdeckvorrichtung für diese Aussparung 2 auf, welche Abdeckvorrichtung aus einem Deckel 3 und wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise drei an einander gegenüberliegenden Deckeirändern an der Deckelrückseite angeordneten Befestigungsbeschlägen 4 besteht. Die Befestigungsbeschläge tragen jeweils eine Biegefeder 5 mit einem freien Federschenkel 6 als Stützzunge, wobei der sich in seiner ganzen Länge von der Deckelrückseite nach hinten erstreckende Federschenkel 6 eine über den Deckelrand vorragende Konvexe Krümmung 7 besitzt und mit einem einwärts gebogenen Ende 8 versehen ist. Diese vorragenden Federschenkel 6 erlauben eine klemmende Abstützung direkt an der rohen Laibung der Aussparung 2, so daß den Befestigungsbeschlägen keine aussparungsseitigen Halterungsstücke zugeordnet sein müssen. Zum Schließen des Deckels 3 braucht dieser nur mit den Federschenkeln 6 voran in die Aussparung 2 eingedrückt zu werden, wodurch die Federschenkel stärker gekrümmt und vorgespannt werden, und der bis zu einer die Schließstelling bestimmenden Anschlagfläche 10 eingeschobene 5 Deckel 3 sitzt aufgrund der klemmend an der Aussparungslaibung abgestützten Biegefedern 5 sicher in der Aussparung 2. Das gebogene Ende 8 der Federschenkel 6 bildet dabei einen Gleitschuh, der gegebenenfalls ein Sperren und Spießen der Federschenkel beim Einschieben des Deckels 3 vermeidet. Zum Abnehmen des Deckels 3 genügt dann ein Herausziehen mittels üblicher Hilfsmittel.A tiled wall 1 has a recess 2 and a covering device for this recess 2, which cover device from a cover 3 and at least two, preferably three opposite edges of the cover on the back of the cover arranged mounting fittings 4 there. The mounting brackets each carry a spiral spring 5 with a free spring leg 6 as a support tongue, the in its entire length from the rear of the cover to the rear spring legs 6 has a convex curvature 7 projecting over the edge of the lid and with an inward curve curved end 8 is provided. These protruding spring legs 6 allow a clamping Support directly on the raw reveal of the recess 2, so that the mounting hardware no recess-side mounting pieces must be assigned. To close the lid 3, it only needs to the spring legs 6 to be pressed ahead into the recess 2, whereby the spring legs are more curved and biased, and the up to a stop surface 10 determining the locking position 5 Lid 3 is seated due to the clamping on the recess reveal Bending springs 5 securely in the recess 2. The bent end 8 of the spring legs 6 thereby forms a sliding shoe, which may be a locking and Avoid spitting of the spring legs when inserting the cover 3. To lose weight the cover 3 is then sufficient to pull out by means of conventional tools.
