Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary device with a Tub and a tub panel. It likes the tub a shower tray, a bathtub or even a The whirlpool tub act on the outside of the necessary Installations are connected.
  • the tub is in a tub support embedded in foamed plastic.
  • foamed plastic panels used to the Tub supports are connected.
  • the trained as a foam body Tub support is disadvantageous if on the outside the tub, e.g. B. in a whirlpool tub, expensive Installations are required.
  • a tub is on Feet is arranged as well as an outside tub cladding is provided, which consists of a support structure and attached thin-walled cladding elements exists (DE-A 198 01 043).
  • this version has a sufficient installation space between Tub and tub paneling available for installations can be used, but is the tub cladding structurally complex and has no sound absorption capacity on. Structure-borne noise is transmitted uninsulated. shocks against the cladding, e.g. B. when cleaning the tub cladding, are with annoying noises that are also called Rattling or booming noises are felt, connected.
  • the invention has for its object a sound absorbing Tub cladding specify the sufficient installation space for installations, especially for installations on a whirlpool tub.
  • the task is based on a sanitary facility Feet arranged tub and a tub cladding according to the invention solved in that the tub paneling as self-supporting component made of panels and without load-bearing Frame is built and that at least in one room visible panels made of a solid, rigid integral polyurethane foam exist and a decorative coating exhibit.
  • the tub cladding that immediately adjoining a room wall, other materials, z. B. Styrofoam plates can be used.
  • all wall parts are made of rigid integral polyurethane foam panels, being panels that on a room wall connect and are not visible without decorative coating can be executed.
  • the panels produced as rigid integral foam bodies can have complicated shapes. In addition to aesthetically pleasing designs on the front, reinforcing ribs on the inside can be molded on to improve the dimensional stability. Due to the cell structure, which is still present in the case of relatively solid molded plates, the tub cladding according to the invention, which at the same time forms a load-bearing tub frame, has a good absorption capacity for structure-borne noise.
  • the panels can have a density of 200 to 800 kg / m 3 , a range up to about 600 kg / m 3 being preferred.
  • the panels or molded parts can be coated with a topcoat. However, the decorative coating of the panels preferably consists of a plastic film.
  • the tub cladding according to the invention supports the tub against tipping.
  • the one from the tub cladding and the tub existing arrangement can be pre-assembled as a mobile, factory Sanitary equipment transported and finished in one furnished bathroom and set up in a few simple steps connected to the existing installation become.
  • the tub can come out of the tub cladding be highlighted, however, it is within the tub cladding fixed.
  • One leg of the holder reaches behind an angled edge of the tub. A parallel to that arranged leg extends as a spacer in a gap between the tub rim and the neighboring wall.
  • the holders can be screwed to the wall, with the wall-side Contact surface of the holder preferably with elements is designed for sound decoupling.
  • An extensive one Sound decoupling can be achieved, for example, if the Place the holder on the wall on linear or punctiform Contact points is limited.
  • elastomeric damping elements can be used.
  • the holders with fastening legs on the underside are useful formed which U-shaped the top edge of the panel mounting.
  • the panels are covered by internal fittings, e.g. B. by Hinges and / or angles, can be connected in a frame-like manner.
  • internal fittings e.g. B. by Hinges and / or angles
  • the abutting edges of the panels are also useful shaped as miter faces.
  • a wall-side panel formed with a lower height is as a front panel visible in the room as well supported on feet that form a mounting space is. Due to the installation clearance, the interior is between Tub cladding and tub accessible. It can be used are used for the laying of connecting lines on-site installations. It is understood that at the Recesses are also provided on the rear wall of the tub cladding could be.
  • the Tub cladding expediently arranged a sealing lip, which lies on the underside of the tub rim. Furthermore, the top edge of the panels with one in front of the tub rim arranged cover strip can be formed. The cover strip is conveniently molded in one piece and with the decorative coating of the panel.
  • the edge of the tub of a sanitary tub shows in practice frequently rounded corners. With large radii of curvature can gusset in the corner areas of the tub cladding arise that need to be sealed. A seal with conventional sealants is optically unsatisfactory.
  • Gauges are connected to corner fillers on the tub edge, some to the rounded corners of the tub rim have adapted contact surface and in the corner areas the tub cladding gusset between the tub rim and cover the angled panels.
  • the corner filler pieces can be glued to the tub rim and optically adapted to the surface of the sanitary tub.
  • the basic structure of the sanitary device shown in the figures includes a sanitary tub 2 arranged on feet 1 and a tub cladding 3 designed as a load-bearing component.
  • the tub cladding 3 is constructed from panels 4, 4 'which consist of a hard integral polyurethane foam. At least the panels 4 visible in the room have a decorative coating.
  • the panels 4, 4 ' are designed as molded parts and have a density of 200 to 800 kg / m 3 , a range up to 600 kg / m 3 being preferred.
  • the molded parts have a cellular structure that can absorb structure-borne noise. Between the tub 2 and the tub cladding 3 there remains a free installation space which, as can be seen in FIG. 3, can be used for installations.
  • the abutting edges of the panels can be designed as mitred surfaces, resulting in a butt joint 6, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the decorative coating of the panels preferably consists of a plastic film. However, other coatings should not be excluded.
  • the tub 2 can move upward out of the tub cladding 3 be lifted out, but within the tub cladding 3 do not slip.
  • the upper leg 8, 9 have. 2 shows that a leg 8 encloses an angled edge of the tub 3 and that a leg 9 arranged parallel thereto as a spacer in a gap between the tub edge 5 and the adjacent wall 10 z.
  • the holders 7 are on the wall 10 screwed. Your wall-side contact surface can with Be designed for sound decoupling elements.
  • the underside is the holder 7 with fastening legs 11 provided, which surround the top edge of the panel in a U-shape.
  • the panels 4, 4 ' are by fittings 12 on the inside connected to each other in a frame.
  • the fittings 12 can as hinges, angles or as in the exemplary embodiment as Connector be executed.
  • the front panel, that is easily accessible in the room is to assembly and Removable for inspection purposes. It is made by fittings fitting parts 13, 13 'which can be locked together releasably the adjacent panels of the tub cladding connected (Fig. 3).
  • a wall assigned panels 4 ' one in the exemplary embodiment Long side and an end face, with a lower height are designed as the panels visible in the room 4.
  • the wall-side panels 4 ' are supported on feet 14 which form a mounting space.
  • a Sealing lip 15 adjacent to the tub edge (FIG. 4).
  • the upper edge of the in Panels 4 visible in space with one in front of the tub rim arranged cover strip 16 may be formed, which a Joint 17 between the tub edge 5 and the panels 4 optically covered (Fig. 5).
  • the tub edge 5 of a sanitary tub often has rounded Corners on. With large rounding wheels, the Corner areas of the bath paneling gusset between the panels 4, 4 'and the Tub edge 5 result. These must prevent moisture from entering be sealed.
  • 6 is a corner filler 18 shown, the one at the rounded corners of the Has tub edge adapted contact surface 19 and to the Tub edge 5 can be glued.
  • the corner fillers 18 cover the resulting gusset between the angled interconnected panels 4, 4 'and the tub rim 5 from and are in terms of their surface design especially in color on the surface of the sanitary tub 2 customized.
