Definitions

  • One aspect of the invention relates to a completely new auxiliary means for mounting fittings in a wall.
  • a gemini (twin) bracket for mounting fittings in a wall.
  • Such a bracket has a form which is represented in Fig. 1 of the present application.
  • Such brackets are used for mounting fittings at a fixed center distance, which is of importance for, for instance, mounting mixing taps with hot and cold water supply.
  • a problem of the known gemini bracket is mounting it correctly.
  • a large recess is to be provided in the wall for receiving the two fittings and the bracket therein.
  • the recess is cut from the wall, it is not easy to provide this with a flat "bottom" against which the bracket is secured.
  • the centerline of the fittings does not extend perpendicularly to the plane of the wall.
  • the invention contemplates a new auxiliary means for mounting fittings in walls with which above-mentioned drawbacks are solved and provides, to this end, a mounting plate for mounting at least one fitting of a water pipe or the like in a wall, wherein the mounting plate extends in one plane and is provided with a front side which, in mounted condition, faces away from the wall, and with a rear side which, in mounted condition, abuts against the wall, while, when connected to the plate, the at least one fitting extends substantially at the rear side of the plate.
  • the fitting extends substantially at the rear side of the plate in a condition connected to the plate, a recess is to be provided in the wall only for the benefit of the at least one fitting.
  • the plate itself is secured against the surface of the wall and, as a result of the fact that the mounting plate is flat, will therefore extend substantially parallel to the wall. This results in, inter alia, the centerline of the at least one fitting extending perpendicularly to the wall, which, in turn, will result in a tap to be mounted on the fitting extending perpendicularly to the wall as well.
  • the mounting plate As the mounting plate is installed on the frontal face of the wall, and, most often, a cover layer is applied to the wall, such as for instance a layer of plaster onto which, in turn, tiles are secured, it is not necessary that the mounting plate is removed after the fittings have been secured by, for instance, a filler. Furthermore, the plate can simply be rotated on the frontal face of the wall so that when, for instance, two fittings are to be provided at equal height for mounting, for instance, a mixing tap, it can simply be effected that the fittings are accurately positioned at equal height by positioning the mounting plate correctly.
  • a cover layer is applied to the wall, such as for instance a layer of plaster onto which, in turn, tiles are secured
  • the mounting plate has dimensions such that it is possible to mount the plate level to the wall even when recesses have been provided in the wall for including the at least one fitting therein, in order that the plate extends exactly parallel to the wall.
  • the mounting plate has considerable dimensions, it is virtually excluded that the plate is connected to the wall in a position that is not parallel to the wall.
  • the invention also provides a method for mounting at least one fitting in a wall, utilizing a mounting plate according to the invention wherein, in the wall, at least one recess is provided for including a fitting therein, while subsequently, a mounting plate with at least one fitting is secured to the wall such that the at least one fitting is situated in the at least one recess and the plate extends parallel to the main face of the wall, the fitting being connected to a pipe, while then, the recess is filled with the aid of a filler for securing the fitting in the wall.
  • the centerline of the fitting will always extend perpendicularly to the wall, which, when for instance afterwards a tap is mounted on the fitting, results in the tap extending perpendicularly to the wall.
  • the mounting plate is provided with two fittings situated at a desired center-to-center distance from each other, with the aid of the method according to the invention, it can be effected that the fittings are situated at the same horizontal level and both extend exactly perpendicularly to the plane of the wall.
  • a mixing tap can directly be mounted on the fittings without, thereto, eccentric adapters being required for horizontal adjustment of the mixing tap.
  • the fitting can be coupled and/or positioned to the mounting plate in different manners, for instance with a suitable nut or plug.
  • the wall after application of the filler, can be provided with a cover layer such as for instance a layer of plaster.
  • a cover layer such as for instance a layer of plaster.
  • the mounting plate prior to the application of the cover layer, and after the at least partial hardening of the filler, can be demounted from the at least one fitting while leaving the at least one fitting behind in the wall so that the mounting plate can be removed from the wall and be used again for a following job.
  • the at least one fitting can for instance be sealed off by a suitable plug or sealing cap.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly of a mounting plate according to the invention and at least one fitting, optionally further provided with a portion of filler.
  • Such an assembly or set of parts can be sold as a unit, so that an installer has all parts required at hand for mounting a mixing tap.
  • the assembly may likewise comprise one or more sealing caps for sealing the at least one fitting. Further, the assembly can for instance be provided with one or more plugs for, during mounting, centring fittings on the mounting plate and/or sealing off one or more fittings.
  • the invention relates to a wall provided with at least one assembly according to the invention, which is provided while utilizing the method according to the invention.
  • the invention further relates to a plug, for instance a plug usable as coupling plug, centring plug and/or sealing cap in an assembly according to the invention.
  • a plug usable as sealing cap is known from practice and is supplied in different standard sizes for cooperation with, at least sealing off, standard fittings.
  • a drawback is that often during assembly operations, it appears that a required plug of a particular size is not available.
  • the present invention intends solving this problem.
  • a plug is characterized to this end by the features of claim 21.
  • the plug is integrally provided with at least two plug parts designed for cooperation with fittings of different sizes, preferably standard sizes.
  • the plug yields at least two different plug sizes, for instance for capping fittings of at least two different sizes. Therefore, the plug provided by the invention is a universal plug which is particularly suitable for use in, for instance, situations in which it is unknown in advance which size fittings will be used and/or which size caps will be required. According to a further elaboration of the invention, the plug is furthermore advantageously suitable for centring a fitting relative to a hole of a mounting plate.

  • a steel plug usable as sealing cap is known.
  • This known plug is supplied in different standard sizes for cooperation with a suitable standard fitting, for instance for temporarily sealing off this fitting in a fluid-tight manner.
  • a drawback of the known plug is that, often, it is only during the assembly operations that it appears that a required plug of a required size is not available.
  • a further disadvantage is that it costs relatively much time to have the known plug link up with the fitting in a watertight manner.
  • tape for instance Teflon wrapping material, is provided between the plug and the fitting, which costs much time.
  • such tape is to be removed again when the plug has been removed from the fitting, which also costs much time.
  • the use of the known plug is relatively expensive with respect to the associated labour costs, and also with respect to the consumption of the tape mentioned.
  • the present invention contemplates solving the problems mentioned of the use of the known plug, at least partly.
  • the invention contemplates providing an assembly with which a plug can be provided on a particular fitting relatively inexpensively, rapidly and preferably in a watertight manner.
  • an assembly is provided which assembly provides at least one plug and at least one matching fitting, while the plug is manufactured entirely from plastic, this plug being provided with at least one coupling part with thread for coupling the plug to the thread of the matching fitting, the at least one coupling part being integrally provided with a collar part extending behind the thread of the coupling part such that the collar part can be reached by a part of the thread of the fitting during coupling of the plug and fitting, said collar part and the thread of the matching fitting being designed to form a fluid-tight sealing when the thread is tightened on the collar part.
  • the plug can be provided on the fitting relatively rapidly and simply, while the integral collar part of the plug and the thread of the fitting can directly link up in a fluid-tight manner without the use of additional material such as tape.
  • the plug is a one-piece plastic part and can therefore, moreover, be manufactured relatively inexpensively, for instance by means of injection moulding.
  • the integral collar part of the plug can be designed in various manners. In a particularly simple design, the collar part has a smooth outside, with which the thread of a suitable fitting can form a fluid-tight connection.
  • the collar part can simply be designed to deform when the thread of a matching fitting is tightened thereon, such that under the influence of this deformation the fluid-tight connection is formed.
  • the deformation of the collar part comprises that an end part of the fitting thread grinds into the collar part in a tight-fitting, clearance-free manner, which appears to lead to a surprisingly reliable, strong fluid-tight connection.
  • the fluid-tight connection appears to withstand, for instance, relatively high hydrostatic pressures of a few bars, for instance approximately 6 bars or more.
  • the collar part of the plug can exert a particular holding force on the fitting in order that an undesired loosening of the plug can be prevented.
  • the plug is integrally provided with at least two coupling parts designed for cooperation with fittings of different sizes, while each of the at least two coupling parts is integrally provided with a collar part mentioned for forming a fluid-tight sealing with the thread of the matching fitting when this thread is tightened on this collar part.

  • the plug can be used, for instance, to cap fittings of at least two different sizes.
  • the plug provided by the invention is a universal plug which is particularly suitable for, for instance, use in situations in which it is unknown in advance which size fitting is used and/or which size cap will be required.
