EP1162907B1 - Method for installing a tub support and tub shell mounted in a tub support - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves fixing a support frame in the form of a base frame (3) having spaced feet (5) onto the floor. A bathtub is fitted into the support frame. The bathtub is already connected to a support part that completes the support frame. The support part may be manufactured by surrounding the bathtub with foam. An independent claim is included for a bath support.

Description

The invention initially relates to a method of installation one received in a tub support Trough shape, for example, a bathtub shape or shower tray shape, and a tub support according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a tub support is known in some cases from the document DE 42 30 083 A.

A method of this kind is the subject of the unpublished DE-Pat. Appl. 198 47 910. It is based on the principle of structural addition the tub support forming parts, wherein a tub support supplementary piece optionally with the molded-on this tray shape as last fit assigned to the tub support base becomes. The tub support base is dimensionally correct orientation and as far as possible pre-installation possibly already with the footprint of Installation site connected. The assembled tub support consists of particle foam, such as EPS or EPP. This has regarding the more extensive customization work requiring tray support base has the advantage that Overhangs or space requirements to the footprint out easy to accomplish by cutting by hand are. However, since a large part of plumbing installations falls into the redevelopment area, it can with such Work because of already existing pipelines etc. To large material erosions on the tub support base come. That can be the stability of the whole affect.

The object of the invention is, without giving up the advantageous Basic principle a procedure for installation indicate a tub carrier, which at higher grade Stability and even unfavorable conditions the type described with advantage is applicable.

This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1 and a tub support solved according to claim 7. First, a tub support base in Shape of a separate feet having pedestal frame attached to the floor and subsequently one already with one, the tub support base to one Tub support complementary tub support supplement connected tub shape placed on the tub support base. Maintaining the installation principle the aforementioned application is by the now moved stilts pedestal the unevenness of the footprint well compensated. The leveling can be done in no time by light relining or moderate Ablation of the feet cause. It does not need extensive cutting-technical measures made more to become. Leave such feet of a pedestal rack In addition, a sufficient underfloor area, in the of all sides can be grasped. Also already lying pipelines can be considered so well. The fixation can quickly via a local foam gift respectively. Even measures of a sound decoupling can be made. Next is preferred Proceeded so that the tub support supplementary piece produced by foaming the tub shape becomes. This is an immediate application of the tub support supplementary piece secured to the pan shape, being it on the respective dimensions of the Trough shape does not arrive. Next it turns out to be advantageous that the tub support parallel to a Opening level of the trough shape is divided into two, with a as Wannenträger-Ergänzungsstück trained upper part firmly connected to the tub shape and a Sokkel frame trained lower part with the tub support extension piece is composable. Upper and Lower part are each easy to handle, this also in the course of joining. Then it is planned that the tub support extension piece form-fitting connected to the base frame. To think is on a paßstiftartige docking. It is cheap in addition, if the tub support supplement by Foaming of the tub shape is formed. The latter acts as a mold core. It is then proposed that the foam around leaving an opening in the Area of an overflow connection is incomplete. The recess in the tub support extension piece later allows the installation of the overflow pipe. Accordingly, located in the tub support base an associated recess. The advantage is also the Measure that the tub support base as a separate Feet exhibiting base frame is formed and having a number of lateral openings for Connection of pipelines. Such breakthroughs can be realized as open space between the feet. The Pedestal-frame is in this respect as a kind of wall-tine structure realized. That embodies itself in the way that the base frame in the area of the feet formed open is about to lead out pipelines. Stability and accessibility of such a structure are raised, if the pedestal-rack is a truss-like Grid is. The grid openings are durchgreifbar. Further it is suggested that the Base frame has a circumferential rectangular frame part. Such, the usual bath tub types intended Rectangular frame part can still by diagonal trains be stiffened. The lend sufficient to the rectangular frame Resistance to any rhomboidal twisting tendencies. An adequate stiffening can also consist in that the rectangular frame part Querzüge having. The extend freely stretched parallel to the narrow sides of the rectangular frame part. Further is provided that elements of the rectangular frame part and / or the trains are formed from angle profiles. According to a basic version, it is provided that the angle profiles with its opening directed downwards and are arranged facing frame inward. An advantageous Variant, however, is that the angle profiles with its opening directed upwards and radially are arranged facing inwards. That can be for embracing of the set tub support supplement be used. A solution of even more independent Meaning also consists in the fact that the elements Box profiles are formed. It is further proposed that the profiles are plastic profiles. The may, if necessary, be internally stiffened. An assembly-advantageous Development of the rectangular frame part is that within it in transverse and or longitudinally extending support struts for components such as a siphon carrier, carrier for a supply or discharge line or a passage are attached. The support struts are as double rail educated. The latter serve as a guide a receiving part, eg. For the siphon. The relevant Embodiment results from the above Pat. Appl. 198 47 910. Other bracing struts on the other hand have arc sections to the formation of Connecting gutters for the drainage line or other Tube. Next, the invention proposes that the feet continue coaxially in cones on the upper side, in recesses of the tub support supplement intervention. This is how the tub supports can be formed Add parts to match the area. A likewise advantageous Solution embodies itself in that the recess from a return edge of the tub support extension is formed, in which recess of the one Angle leg of the angle profile engages as a projection. The rectangular frame part acts here as a frame-like Mount on the other angle leg dormant tub support addition piece.

An embodiment of even independent meaning is that the framework formed three-dimensional is. To the length and width, the height occurs. This is professionally used so that on the pedestal frame Interfaces for connection with a pretext installation are formed. So can one Interface in the form of an anchored in the base frame Be formed fastener. It can this is anchor bolts. Conversely proves Education is also useful in that regard the interface in the form of a over the floor plan of Pedestal frame protruding nut is realized.

Then there is a development in that the rectangular frame part is formed by C-profiles. This, stabilizing approaching the material of the box profile, offers a favorable basic requirement for a home access, namely the C-opening. On this basis, accordingly, further education measures such the docking of components attack. The C-opening is directed downwards, ie to the ground of the building out. In addition, there is an advantageous modular system before, since the C-profiles by having journals Connectors are connected together. The allows a space-saving storage as well a space-saving shipping. The rectangle frame part can be assembled and set up at the place of installation become. Pre-assembly, however, preferably takes place at the factory. Regarding the connectors is on the various frame shapes available. That's how it is next to the linear connector for the addition of C-profiles also such a front, in which the spigot each other at an angle of less than 180 °. It can be here at the right angle act or even obtuse alignments of the Spigot to each other. Even acute-angled alignments can be considered. It is also advantageous a solution in which a connector as a tee is provided with three or more spigot. Here is to the assignment of frame-stiffening and load-bearing ones To think of cross trains. To secure the plug connection It is useful that the connector and / or the C-profile associated latching means. It is expediently irreversible Locking means, so that the connector is not the additional Requires funds such as cotter pins, gluing, welding etc. Advantageously, a clamping device can grip. This could be done using the C-opening a Thumbscrew be inserted with under the head the same arranged cutting or prongs. The winged mother is located on the bottom and does not disturb the Laying the tub support. Coming back to the advantage the cross-access will be in use of this Preset suggested that height-adjustable in the C-profiles and adjustable feet are attached. The usually columnar feet can be steplessly position, so for example from the corner area embarrassed. The load-bearing transverse cables can also Such optimally adjustable feet in the area of the floor take the tub shape. It is advantageous here Continue that one foot by means of a plastic / rubber liner supported on the ground, the latter forming a structure-borne sound decoupling. An advantageous Continuing education is that the foot has a mounting plate with through holes for fixation on the ground. For this, the classic Fasteners are used as eg screws. A feature of even more independent Meaning is seen in that a tile apron is provided, which is a pad for tiling in Area of the pedestal rack supplies. Again, under Using the C-opening, the attachment is very simple accomplished by placing the tile apron on the pedestal frame what is actually embodied in it, that the tile apron for fixing in the C-profile engages. Structurally, this looks at the Tile apron in such a way that these in the cross section a Y profile has. This Y-shaped, practically too a h closer profile finds with respect to his a thigh a profile side holding stop against tilting. An advantageous variant of the Tub support or tub support addition piece receiving substructure is that the pedestal frame as a foam plate, in particular rigid foam plate or plastic plate is formed. Preference is given to particle foam with a high degree of compaction resorted. Here comes the Benefit of using the C-profiles by placing in the base frame, with the C-opening facing down, C-profiles are involved. They are arming, be it that They are made of metal or else of hard plastic made-are. Your involvement or embedding is so that the C-opening is exposed. Then there is provided that the pedestal frame in the middle area long or transverse rectangular openings for mounting of pipelines. Such openings give the Plate frame shape.

Taking over or partial use of vorerläuterten Elements sees the further education of the base frame so this, both in terms of width as well as telescopically adjustable in terms of length is. This allows a setting on the different types of tubs and shapes. The leading ones Telescope parts are the profiles that guided Parts are assigned acting as a plug. A Design of even independent meaning exists in that the pedestal frame is a central, itself in the longitudinal direction of the tub support or the tub shape extending frame part which is narrower than the width of the tub support or the tub shape and in addition, the pedestal frame, associated with the Narrow sides of the tub support or the tub shape, cantilevered arms has. They are at their ends trimmed. In this way, you can even a support outside the floor plan of the tub support to reach. There is practically a total of T structure before, except for the vertical breakthroughs as it were also step-like protruding, vertically open Dürch breaks are present. This can be the Piping also accessible outside the outline embarrassed if this makes sense for some reason is. The boom is telescopic in boom longitudinal direction and also infinitely adjustable and lockable. Finally, there is an advantageous embodiment in that the rectangle profile one up having vertically projecting angle leg. Of the can act as tower limit stop or optionally as a plug against the aufzusetzenden When carrier.

The illustrated tub support is at least two-part Construction, consisting of a shell and a Base.

Shell forming is a tub shape 1. That stands out Foaming with a tub support extension 2 in Connection, at least partially executed. It can to be a solid composite. Umschäumungsmaterial is preferably particle foam, for example. From EPP or EPS. Also a nesting of the parts 1, 2 is applicable.

The lower part is a tub support base in the form of a Base frames 3. This rests on the floor 4 of a building. It can be firmly connected to the bottom 4.

From the bottom of the base frame 3 go feet 5 out. They leave an underfloor area between the Bottom of the base frame 3 and the said floor.

The feet 5 are distributed well distributed. It is a total of nine feet 5. At the crossroads a diagonal of a rectangular frame part. 6 having base frame 4 is the ninth Foot 5. The others are edge-distributed.

The rectangular frame part 6 is part of a truss-like Trellis of the pedestal rack 3. Such that Rectangular frame part 6 stiffening diagonal trains are in Fig. 4 shown and designated 7. The diagonal trains 7 roots with their ends crosswise in the corners of the pedestal rack 3.

The variants Fig. 7, 9 and 11 are different the basic version Fig. 4 by Querzüge 8. There are pulled in two transverse trains 8. These thirds the truss-like Grid and bring so a well-distributed Stiffening and frame stability.

Then the illustrated base racks 3 can be removed, that they are open in the area between the feet 5 are formed. They leave, limited by the Bottom 4, bridge underpass type breakages 9. About this is accessibility from all sides given to mounting chambers 10 of the tub support as well to the underfloor area at all. About such openings can be assigned pipes 11. The wannabe Access allowed an opening 12. That is in the area an overflow connection considered by the Encasement of the tub form 1 incomplete at this point or is interrupted.

While maintaining a training of Wannenträgersokkels from the material of the tub support Ergänzungsstükkes The feet 5 can be formed by integral tines be, the height compensatory submissable or by Cutting are ablatable.

The shown truss-like grid as a structural element is preferably made of metal. The feet 5 this base frame 3 are vertically variable in length. Immediately supporting part is the head a screw 14. You will find the counter thread in the corresponding hollow designed, threaded base 5. For the adjustment is preferred the entire Length of the foot used, leaving the underfloor area the base frame can be significantly changed.

For effective sound decoupling, the heads of the Screws 14 with a soft foam pad 15th highlighted. This means of sound optimization can the whole area measure of the rectangular frame part 6 capture.

Tub support extension piece 2 and base frame 3 can be put together to match. this happens using passport means. They insist the base frame 3 protrusions, according to the basic version Tenons 16. The vertically from the top of the Rechteckrahmenteils 6 protruding pin 16 grip dowel-like into shape-responsive recesses 17 on. The lie close to the edge and congruent to the pin 16 in the bottom of the tub support supplement.

As can be seen, for example, in FIG. 4, the pins 16 are frame-top, coaxial continuations of the feet 5. One Exception forms here only in the crossing point of Diagonal trains 7 foot sitting on the underside 5. The crossing area the upper side becomes the immediate one Supporting the bottom wall 18 of the tub support supplementary piece 2 used, as well as the free-stretched, wegführenden sections of the X-shaped structure of the Diagonal trains 7.

The variant of the positive connection between Tub support extension piece 2 and base frame 3 is discussed below with regard to the solution according to Figs. 10 and 11 will be explained.

The elements or frame pieces of the rectangular frame part 6 and / or the Diagonalzüge / Querzüge 7/8 can from Be formed 90 ° angle profiles. This is realized concerning the elements of the rectangular frame part 6. The Trains 7/8 are realiter made of flat metal strips.

With regard to the angular arrangement of the angle profiles two arrangements applied. According to basic version (Fig. 4) are the rectangular frame part 6 performing Angle profiles with their opening, meaning the angular space, directed downwards and facing inwards arranged. So forms a horizontal angle leg a the top surface of the pedestal frame 3 and the outer, vertical angle leg b a Art apron.

This construction is also with respect to the variant Fig. 7 accepted.

By contrast, the arrangement is different, as they are from the Fig. 10 and 11 shows. That's what happened there, that the angle profiles of the rectangular part 6th with its openings directed upwards and radially are arranged facing inwards. The previously the skirt forming, vertical angle leg b forms now a circumferential balustrade, whereas the horizontal Angle leg a now with its opening inside Surface acts as a veritable top, this to the bordered insertion movement for the lower side area of the tub support supplement 2.

This forms the basis for the other indicated above Type of connector between tub support extension piece 2 and base frame 3. So now this one lower edge region of the pin 16 comparable Lead, but now starting from the top. Because of the context, this advantage is the same denoted by 16. In return, the border-bearing bears Frame the reference numeral 17, now the am Base frame 3 realized recess.

So that the vertical angle leg b is not opposite the general surface level of the tub support supplementary piece 2, which makes the tiles difficult could, the recess 17 is simply from one Fig. 10, the right rearward return edge 19 formed, in the angle leg b filling engages.

FIG. 9 shows a variant with respect to the base frame 3 to that effect, as there are the elements, or frame legs of the rectangular frame part 6 of box profiles are formed. It can be made of plastic material act as they B. in the window gangway and exist. The box profiles can be braced in Contain the form of metallic additives.

The truss-like lattice of the base frame 3 becomes even more refined by the grid fields and crossing crossing additional elements. That embodies itself within of the rectangular frame part 6 in the transverse and / or longitudinal direction extending support struts for components, such as, for example, a siphon carrier shown in isolation in FIG 20, carrier 21 for the pipe 11, for example. A Inlet or outlet pipe, or one not closer illustrated passage. Their meaning will continue will be explained in detail below.

As for the support struts, these are as arranged in the grid box double rails 22nd realized. At these can be the siphon carrier 20 displaced relative to a siphon 23 exactly position and set. The siphon carrier 20 consists of foam of the type indicated above. Er has a keyhole-like trough 24. The considered Outline and depth of an assignment side Part of the siphon 23. The siphon carrier 20 are longitudinally formed wing 25. The jump in terms of thickness compared to the area which is tolerated is. By cutting back the wing approaches is except the rail-guided longitudinal displacement of the siphon carrier 20 also ensured its tiltability, as is apparent from Fig. 12. That's the way to go Achieve fine tuning when assembling the werenträgerbildenden parts of a drain pipe 26 of the Ab- and overflow 27 a reliable plug position guaranteed. As can be seen in FIG. 14, this occurs free end of the said, acting as a plug drain pipe 26 in accordance with the coupling a funnel-shaped plug-in membrane 28 of the siphon 23rd In the joint area of wing 25 and double rail 22nd an adhesive layer 29 is introduced, which corresponds to the joint Location of the slide-guided Siphonträgers 20 secures. As the drawings are removable, under attack the wings 25, the double rail 22 mounted in the Position. The siphon carrier 20 can according to expression Fig. 31 also consist of metal, in the rail side Suspension and fixation 18 assigned.

For assembly, the upper part, so the tub shape. 1 with tub support extension 2 with the tub rim laid down. The one associated with the pan shape Drain pipe 26 now serves as an indicator for positioning of siphon carrier 20, by simply placing the pedestal rack 3 with its top in the direction of the bottom 4 slipped on. This usually happens factory.

Thereafter, the pedestal frame 3 is repositioned, d. H. assigned to the floor 4 of the building. before the pedestal frame 3 is leveled over the feet 5 Service.

The double rails 22 are designed bow-shaped. The in the same direction angled ends serve for anchoring the double rails on the rectangular frame part 6 at one end and at the other end to further support struts of the rectangular frame part 6. There are struts 30 as a carrier 21st The form before their attachment-side end ever one downward bow section 31. In the middle area the struts 30 set the attachment ends of the they cross double rails 22. It can be around welding connections act. The bow section 31 circumscribes a gutter profile, such as it in case of hard particle foam formed tub support sockets occurs. The bow sections 31 are aligned silhouetted in the longitudinal direction of the base frame 3. Here, the drain pipes in the underfloor area can be store the base frame 3 safely. It can more such struts 30 than shown attached his.

The midfield of the grid-shaped base frame 3 lying double rail 22 extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the long rectangular plan Base frames 3. This zone is relative to the siphon carrier 20 a central port of disposal or the drain and overflow connection reserved.

According to embodiment Fig. 15, the truss-like Trellis of the base frame 3 in a third carrier Dimension over, here in the vertical. This goes from the right-side end portion of the base frame 3 a Yoke 32 out. It is a knot plate-like Structure allowing the stable connection of a vertical aligned frame 33 in conjunction with a Wall installation.

The yoke-side terminal region of the frame 33 forms the interface S. Docking are located at the yoke 32 located fasteners 34. It is z. B. screws 35. The screws 35 are horizontal aligned and are in distance forming Superposition. This way is a safe to operate Assignment of the frame 33 guaranteed. The thigh of the frame are arranged on both sides Nuts taken.

The yoke 32 may also be in a cage-like Fixed frame reinforcement of the tub support supplementary part Continue 2. It is used up to docking flanges Frame 33, fully absorbed in the foam structure.

In return, however, this can also be done - this Solution is not graphically reproduced - that the Interface S in the form of a over the floor plan of Base frame 3 protruding nut trained is. In this case, it only requires screwing corresponding fastening screws from the front End of the frame 33 ago, optionally with catching of spacers.

Figures 16 and 17 illustrate further details this pretext installation, and that there to one Siphon 36 connected sink 7, also the disposal line 37 and two supply lines 38 and 39. The lead cold and hot water. The connection lines to the sources or effluent of the building is not shown here. The big underfloor area the pedestal frame 3 creates sufficient here Possibilities of cable routing.

Finally it remains to mention that for the Frame 33 according to the bottom 4 facing adjusting spindles 40 and a ceiling 41 of the construction zugehender adjusting spindles 42 also a related definition of the frame 33 opens. Frame and wires are occupied by removable insulating materials 43. For the Accessibility of the mounting chamber 10 via the frame 33rd is made a parcellation of dam materials. FIG. 17 shows a detachable cover 44.

At the same time, this embodiment also embodies one more Tub support, in particular with a shape of Particle foam, such as EPS, EPP, the marked is by a grid-like, three-dimensional Stiffening structure 3/33 with connection interfaces S for a pretext installation or for an immediate Flange of sanitary components, like a toilet or a bidet. The latter can also without interposition of the frame 33 directly in the region of the yoke 32nd be held.

The development shown in Figures 18 - 27 relates to a base frame 3, whose rectangular frame part 6 provides for the use of C-profiles 45. This Specification comes structurally the variant according to FIG. 9 closer, which shows the use of box profiles. The reference numbers are, to the extent necessary for understanding, applied mutatis mutandis, this partly without text Repetitions.

The C-profiles 45 may be made of metal. However, that is also their production of plastic conceivable, in both Cases preferably in the extrusion process.

In contrast to the subject gem. Fig. 9 is the Base frame 3 in the technical design according to Fig. 24 is added from a number to a frame profile pieces, wherein the stiffening and, as it were Raising stringer, two, the long rectangular frame Transverse transverse trains 8 are used on the shortest path are. They run parallel to the shorter sides of the Rectangle.

The longitudinal slot-like C-opening 46 of the cross-section symmetrical designed C-profiles 45 points down, i.e. directed against the ground 4 of the building.

Each about one third of the longer side of the rectangular frame part 6 having C-profiles 45 can be via connecting pieces 47 to the desired frame geometry complete. This is done by plugging. For this purpose, the profile hollow is used as a plug-in opening, which is accessible via the end faces. The connectors 47 have adapted spigot 48. The are the connector 47 is formed equal. It can be injection molded metal or plastic.

In the embodiment of FIG. 18 is the connector 47 with coaxial, away from each other pointing aligned pin 48 provided.

Fig. 20 provides an embodiment according to which the Plug 48 of the connector 47 a right Enclose angles to each other. This elbow takes place in the corner regions of the rectangular frame part 6 as C-profile connector application.

Fig. 21 shows a modification in that the Plug 48 include an obtuse angle, for example, from 135 °, 120 ° and so on. About here can cover special geometric shapes such as Corner baths, shower trays with capped corner Etc.

22 is a T-shaped connector 47 can be removed, allowing the connection of two linearly aligned C-profiles 45, forming the frame, and with one perpendicular to it, horizontally aligned Spigot 48 for the above-mentioned Querzug 8 respectively the cross trains 8. It has so three spigot 48 on. More than three spigot 48 can, for example, to a H or twin tee think to the horizontal or vertical connection mounting of frame, in particular the Pretext frame 33.

The versified with three pin 48 tee is in Junction of the spigot 48 with a collar 49th Provided. Against the dull come the frame-forming Parts of the C-profiles 45, so that the frame cross-section goes through the outside flush. The front ends are namely at plan cut at an immediate Gegeneeteten prevented because of the direction of the cross section the Querzuges 8 projecting plug 48 plug-locking acts. The leading to the collar 49 thickness of material accumulation in the crossing area takes into account the wall thickness of the C-profile 45. It is such a clean conclusion in front. The front end of the transverse trains 8 forming C-profile goes up and down against the residual zone 49 ' of the Federal 49 and otherwise against the outsides of the frame-forming C-profiles 45. The collar 49 is at the same time Insertion depth limiter and can also be connected to the connector 47 may be provided as shown in FIG.

The continuously accessible connector can be to back up. This can be done by gluing. In the embodiment however, it is preferred that the connecting pieces 47 and / or the C-profile 45 locking means having. This embodies itself as shown in that the ends of the C-profiles 45 in the plug overlap area in the profile interior facing locking projections 50th have. The bawls in congruent recessed depressions 51 on. They can of holes in kind of Be formed blind holes. Seen in the direction of insertion, are the locking means 50/51 in a row. expedient they are pointing to an irreversible plug connection equipped.

Such locking means 50/51 can also in the corner areas be provided of the rectangular frame part 6. Both related connectors 47 is then the described fret 49 conceivable. He also offers one not inserted free zone. The latter can be advantageous to form a vertical pin 16 use. In this respect, meets such a corner-side connector 47 then a double function.

However, a miter cut can also be used Connection according to which the connecting piece 47 then fully immersed in the interior of the profile.

The Rechteckrabznenteil 6 feet 5 are also assigned here. Instead of a rigid positioning of such feet sees the solution according to Figure 24 ff a ver and detectable in front. Except the here also opposite the rectangular frame part 6 given height adjustability still occurs a horizontal longitudinal displacement of the feet. 5 added.

For this purpose, the C-opening 46 of the C-profiles 45 is used. The corresponding variation of the support points proves in practice as beneficial. This is how the Durcbbrüche 9 of the base frame 3 as needed width to change. Visible is one of the relative short spigot 48 unoccupied length section the C-opening as a fairly large horizontal adjustment path in front. The adjustment is indicated by double arrow

Also the relevant, given in the trains 8 Variation leaves the load-related most favorable positioning to. It can also be two such rail-guided adjustable Pusts 5 will be installed.

The feet 5 point to their stepless vertical adjustment Thread on, so that is effective here as well can be spoken by screws 14, whose function is explained above. The reference number is corresponding accepted.

The screw 14 or threaded rod passes through the down pointing slit-like C-opening 46. Profile inside she crosses a lock nut 52. The threaded engaging counter nut rests on the against each other directed, horizontal end legs 53 of the C-profile 45th

Against the undersides of said end legs 53 occurs a clamping nut 54. By loosening the same and turning the threaded rod, that is the screw 14 leaves vary the support height of the foot 5. The locking means act in clamping position C-profile closing and so stabilizing. The screw 14 goes down into a head in the form of a Metal plate 55 over. The latter carries on the bottom one Plastic / rubber intermediate layer 56 for structure-borne sound decoupling. The sits firmly on the metal plate 55.

The plastic / rubber intermediate layer 56 is indirectly on the floor 4 by passing through a mounting plate 57 is highlighted. That's at the liner supported. It can also be a metal plate act. The latter has peripheral holes through holes 58 on assignment of ground-connecting fasteners like screws.

Fig. 23 shows the use of the C-profile 45 in one another feature of forming a pad for a tiling. This document is made by a tile apron 59. Your viewing side is essentially vertically designed. Over this can be the Breakthroughs 9 tiled and even leaves the cover entire underfloor area.

The tile apron 59 is on a two-sided attack shaped C-profile. She takes one out Fig. 23 apparent Y-profile. The one Y-thigh 60 is practically the continuation of the plate-like vertical apron 59. The other Y-leg 61 goes as the C-profile 45 underarching extension of the Y-bridge 62 off. He is fed against the slot side of the C-profile and protrudes with a locking projection 63, the C-opening 46 of the C-profile 45.

The locking projection 63 may e.g. intermittently arrowhead-like be designed such that the Pfeilrückflanken the inside slot edges of the end legs 53 are caught and tied to it. The Y-leg 60 closes flush with its horizontal front end the top of the C-profile 45 from. It is sufficient if necessary also an arrow back. Even a mere one Flangeless clamping in 46 is conceivable.

The tile apron 59 is a rigid foam part. Particulate foam is preferably used such as EPS or EPP. By visible application of an adhesive mortar The tiles can be secured for assignment.

The reproduced in Figures 26 and 27 variant a pedestal frame 3 also sees a frame solution before, the C-profiles 45 via bridge material stay in contact. They are embedded in different locations in a foam plate 64, in particular hard foam plate or plastic plate. Is used preferably particle foam with increased density. So a total of a slight plate, forming the rectangular frame part 6, before, associated with the advantage of a high connection stiffness due to the recessed C-profiles 45, which act like reinforcing elements.

They are also positioned close to the edge and otherwise arranged as transverse cables 8. Of course, her C-opening pointing in the direction of the bottom 4 and accessible to the assembly with regard to the lockable and lockable feet 5.

While the variant of FIG. 24 in a cross section essentially square C-profile, is the case of FIG. 26 and 27 is a rectangular C-profile 45 used in the sense that the C-bar has a greater length than the same direction protruding C-thighs, in the manner described in the slot-limiting, oppositely directed End legs 53 leak. Of course, the variant can also as shown in FIG. 24 rectangular C-profile 45 have.

The frame legs of the rectangular frame part plate have, what the area of the transverse cables 8 and the longer Frame leg concerns a multiple width of the C-profiles 45 on.

Between the longitudinal and transverse C-profiles 45 are rectangular in plan 65 leave. The rectangular openings in the end zones 65 extend with their longer side in the longitudinal direction the plate. The interposed, by the transverse cables 8 limited rectangular opening 65th Guergerichtet to the longitudinal extent of the foam plate 64. Thus, sufficient resources remain in the middle range Support surfaces for either the classic Wannenträger or the tub support supplement shown Second

The foam plate 64 has holes in their corner zones Recesses 17 on, in the congruent the bottom of the tub carrier supplement 2 trained, pass pin-like pin 16 occur. On the alternative that the pin 16 also on Base frame 3 or sit on the connector 47 can, is pointed out above.

On the double rails 22, which the displaceable worn siphon carry 23, is no longer reaching out here be received, but only on the The fact that such funds also on the C-profiles can be held by clamping screws.

The content held by incorporation in the foam plate 24 C-profiles can be used with missing prechamber to the frontal insertion of the feet 5 also easy Equip crosswise, as screws 14 on the Market available hammer head bolts are used, So here also using the C-opening 46 as Passage. By turning 90 °, the feet can be 5 in be brought a stop. It follows the dressing the designated 54 clamping screw.

FIG. 28 shows a development of the base frame 3 again. The frame character is retained including the support of the rectangular frame part 6 over feet 5. The reference numbers are applied analogously.

The base frame 3 is composed of frame elements together, who are already in the profile network and so on For example, spatially rewrite the mounting chamber 10. However, further training is also the measure that the base frame 3 both in terms of width as also the length of the telescope is adjustable. With reaching the desired outline the frame shape is fixed. For example, this can be done the C-opening 46 wing wings used as clamping means be used. However, one is also in small Steps going splitting or the plugging direction crossing screw conceivable. It is on the illustrated Directed rows of holes.

Fig. 29 shows these frame elements in disassembled, however Assembly-oriented state.

As connecting means are plug 66. These are, for example assigned to the middle frame element, So the actual box- or C-profile stand out.

The plug openings 67 represent the interiors of the box or C-profiles of the docking frame elements. Steckhubmäßig is chosen a length of the smallest Tubs up to oversized tub outlines are enough and still it continuously.

For the width adjustment, the same means are used, assigned to the transverse trains 8 and the narrow sides the pedestal frame 3. The transverse cables 8 are one end firmly connected to the profile of the longitudinal direction and at the other end forming the aforementioned plug opening 67 open. The plug 66 is seated on the corresponding one Inside of the other longitudinally oriented profile.

Because all three frame elements are self-contained frames are the transverse cables 8 lying closely adjacent, in pairs.

Interposed above are the ones described above Double rails 22, of course in the possibility involved in telescoping. It can be long hole acting rails, which via a Spannschraubdurchgriff even against shifting are securable relative to each other.

The rails 22 are spatially spaced so that a Siphon carrier 68 (20) can be suspended. It is in FIG. 31 reproduced in isolation. He has angled brackets 69 on. The overlap with their horizontally counter-rotating aligned upper thighs the top of the Rails 22. Again, is for. a fixation ensured be it by Spannschraubdurchgriff or simply by adhesive fixation.

The cross-sectionally U-profiled base plate of the siphon carrier 68 has a window 70. This can the assigned carrier 20 variable in position be, picking up the siphon 23.

Fig. 30 shows a variant insofar as there bow-shaped Frame fittings 71 are provided, too here in application of the described connector 66/67.

The frame of the base frame 3 is replaced by a the number four outgoing polygonal shape. It is more symmetrical a boat-like floor plan. The the Connecting piece 71 stelligen, hügelfomnbildenden leg include about a right angle. Instead of an acute angle can also, for example, in Execution of a hexagonal floor plan Base frame, an angle of 120 ° are based.

Fig. 32 embodies a development over which a pedestal frame 3 can be achieved which ground plan one corresponds to a double-T structure. Under Maintaining the variation of latitude and longitude in Application of the described telescopic adjustability, the structure is made in detail so that the base frame 3 a central, in the longitudinal direction the Warimenträgers 2 and the tub shape 1 erstrekkendes Frame part 72 has. This is much narrower as a common width of a tub support 2 and a tub shape 1. Starting from this relatively narrow, Central frame part 72 go out boom. The extend parallel to the space to the narrow side of the tub support 2. These are arms 73. They are in the same here the plug-in opening 67 shorter shorter box or C-profile housed. It's on a sufficient Overlapped by arm 73 and profile mentioned.

By excerpt can on both long sides beside the Vertical Pedestal 3 also features a breakthrough 9 horizontal broadened breakthrough can be achieved an underfloor-free space so, by the pipeline 11 easy to lay. Again, the reference numbers, as far as necessary for understanding, mutatis mutandis applied.

The transverse cables 8 contribute to the formation of the fixed part frame part 72 at.

The last-described versions, Figs. 28-32, is common that the rectangular profile one up has perpendicular projecting angle leg b. Of the lies in the area of the outside of the profiles. The intermittently provided angle leg b act also here as edge apron for positional Placing the bath support 2.

The ladder-type fixed part frame part 72 in the area the mounting chamber 10 still associated device for Receiving a siphon 23 is designed there as a box, presenting the all-round mobility for that Centering the siphon 23 therein. From the box this Siphon carrier 20 goes horizontally aligned Stem 74 off. The can be on him carrying transverse train. 8 fasten, for example by screwing under Use of the illustrated row of holes both in the stem 74 as well as in the transverse train 8.

The angle leg b can be the same profile take into account, ie the box or C-profile same anextrudieren. But to avoid cutbacks is also the preparation of a leg a, b forming Angle profile conceivable, the angle leg a then resting on the top of the rabbetbildenden profile or fixed there.
