Description

The invention relates to a wall-type wall module, in particular a wall-mounted sanitary wall module, with at least one functional unit comprising a functional element.

Pre-wall installation systems are basically known and find, for example, in the modernization of sanitary areas, such. Bathrooms, use. A disadvantage of known prewall installation systems for the sanitary sector is the fact that their structure requires a considerable amount of manual skill and that they usually do not offer a clear appearance due to the large number of functional elements coupled to it at different positions. In addition, known plumbing wall mounted plumbing systems that have many different functional elements are difficult and cumbersome to clean.

The invention has for its object to provide an improved wall-wall module, especially for the sanitary area to create, which in particular is easier to install, provides a clearer look and also can be cleaned easier and faster.

To achieve the object according to the invention a wall-like wall module is provided, which, in particular on a wall, fixed to be mounted frame, at least one mounted on the frame foam body, at least one functional element comprehensive functional unit, which is received in a cavity of the foam body, and comprises a diaphragm which is placed on a visible side of the foam body and / or the functional unit.

The wall module according to the invention is composed of a minimum number of prefabricated parts, namely a frame, a foam body, a functional unit and a diaphragm. To install the wall module, only the frame needs to be fixedly mounted on an example masonry or concrete wall, the foam body attached to the frame, the functional unit used in its associated cavity of the foam body and finally placed the panel on the frame, the foam body and the functional unit become.

The wall module according to the invention can thus be installed in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner.

The foam body can be screwed and / or glued to the frame, wherein a correct alignment of the foam body is advantageously carried out on the frame itself and / or on a mounted on the frame front panel. Accordingly, the functional unit used in the cavity of the foam body can be screwed and / or glued to the foam body. Correct alignment of the functional unit can be carried out by adapting the functional unit to the cavity of the foam body and / or by aligning it with a seal embedded in the foam body for diaphragm elements of the diaphragm.

A foam body which has a stability necessary for a permanently secure attachment to the frame or storage of the functional unit, may be formed from a rigid foam and in particular from expanded polystyrene (EPS), such as Styrofoam.

So that the functional element of the functional unit is accessible from the outside even when the diaphragm is attached, the diaphragm preferably has a recess for the functional element.

In order to simplify the manufacture and handling of the panel and to facilitate the adaptation of the panel to different types of modules, whereby the wall module ultimately not only even easier, but also more cost-effective installable, the panel can be set of several aperture elements together. The horizontal and vertical dimensions of the diaphragm elements may deviate from the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the foam body or the foam body, so that, for example, a diaphragm element can cover areas of at least two foam bodies.

To achieve a clear appearance, the dimensions of the diaphragm elements are advantageously adapted to a predetermined and preferably always constant basic grid. Thus, the horizontal and / or vertical dimensions of the individual diaphragm elements may each be at least approximately integer multiples of, for example, 10 cm.

Preferably, all the aperture elements of a wall module made of the same material and in the same color. In principle, in order to achieve special optical effects, it is also possible to produce individual diaphragm elements from a different material or in a different color shade than other diaphragm elements of a wall module. As materials for the diaphragm elements are for example plastic, glass, Wood or metal in question. In this case, an aperture element can be produced in one piece from a material or else be formed by a layer structure made of different materials.

The attachment of an aperture element to the foam body is preferably carried out by means of a magnetic connection. For this purpose, a plurality of magnets may be glued to the rear side of the diaphragm element facing away from the visible side of the diaphragm element, and a correspondingly positioned number of magnets may be embedded in the foam body. Through the use of magnets for attachment of the diaphragm element to the foam body no holes for the implementation of screws in the diaphragm element need to be provided, which contributes to an improved appearance. Furthermore, if required, the panel element can be easily detached from the foam body, for example to insert an additional functional unit into the foam body and / or to replace the panel element with another panel element.

The attachment of a diaphragm element to the functional unit is advantageously carried out by means of a latching connection, for example by using locking cams or clips, in particular on a housing of the functional unit. This simplifies any necessary removal of the diaphragm element from the functional unit.

If the functional unit comprises a functional element which can be moved from a passive position in which the functional element is completely accommodated in a housing of the functional unit into an active position in which the functional element protrudes at least partially out of the housing, a lens can also be used to improve the appearance Visible side of the functional element be provided with a diaphragm element, which is preferably glued in this case.

In order to prevent moisture occurring in particular in sanitary areas from penetrating behind the panel, a seal is preferably provided for sealing a region located between two adjacent panel elements. The seal helps to make the wall module even easier and faster to clean.

The seal may comprise a flat gasket which is dimensioned and positioned so that mutually facing edge regions of the adjacent diaphragm elements rest thereon. Preferably, the flat gasket is inserted into a recess or groove provided in the foam body or in the foam bodies, the depth of which is selected such that the flat gasket projects slightly out of the recess or groove when the panel is not attached and is pressed in by the attached panel elements. Inserting the gasket into the recess or groove facilitates alignment of the gasket with the diaphragm elements, which contributes to an improved sealing effect of the gasket. The sealing effect can be increased even further if the seal additionally has a sealing element arranged between the diaphragm elements and resting on the flat gasket, e.g. a bait band.

According to a further embodiment, the functional unit comprises a box-shaped housing. In order to allow the most secure possible seating of the functional unit in the foam body or the most correct alignment of the functional unit, the outer shape of the housing is preferably adapted to the shape of the cavity of the foam body.

The housing may have a laterally projecting, in particular circumferential edge which engages over an area of the foam body adjoining the cavity when the functional unit is inserted into the cavity. The projecting edge of the housing allows a simple fixation of the functional unit to the foam body, for example by means of a screw connection.

In order to achieve a surface that is as flat as possible and easily coverable by the panel, the area of the foam body adjoining the cavity is preferably recessed, so that a visible side of the housing of the functional unit inserted into the cavity is flush with the visible side of the foam body.

According to a further embodiment, adjacent functional units have adjustment means for aligning the functional units relative to each other. By means of the adjustment means, it can be easily ensured that, for example, superimposed functional units, such as e.g. a toilet brush holder and a toilet paper dispenser are aligned correctly.

Advantageously, the adjustment means are provided at mutually facing portions laterally projecting housing edges of the adjacent functional units. The adjusting means may comprise at least one outwardly tapering projection of the housing edge of a functional unit and at least one complementary recess in the housing edge of the other functional unit.

Another object of the invention is a wall-like wall module, in particular of the type described above, having at least one functional unit comprising a housing and a functional element, which is movable from a passive position, in which the functional element is completely accommodated in the housing, and an active position, in which the functional element at least partially protrudes from the housing. In its active position, the functional element is accessible from the outside and usable according to its purpose, while it moves back into its passive position after use and to a certain extent can be "cleaned up", which not only contributes to a clearer appearance of the wall module, but also easier and faster cleaning of the wall module allows.

In order to keep the functional element in its passive position, for example, a magnet may be provided.

Furthermore, a tensioned in the passive position of the functional element spring element may be provided which is connected between the functional element and the housing in order to move the functional element from the passive layer into the active position. The spring element effectively acts as an energy store, which is charged by the movement of the functional element from the active position into the passive position and which discharges under movement of the functional element from the passive position into the active position.

Advantageously, a lock is provided which holds the spring element in the tensioned state and which, in particular by the exertion of a compressive force on the visible side of the functional element, is releasable to allow a relaxation of the spring element. Such a lock is also referred to as a "push and release" mechanism.

The spring element may be, for example, a gas spring, a helical compression spring or a helical spring.

Alternatively, a motor, in particular electromotive, drive can be provided, for example an electric motor or a servo motor, in order to move the functional element out of its passive position into its active position. Such a drive enables automatic and in particular sensor-controlled movement of the functional element into its active position or back into its passive position.

According to a further embodiment, the functional element comprises a container, which is movable from a substantially vertical passive position into an inclined active position, in which an opening is accessible at an upper side of the container. In addition, the container can be moved beyond the active position in a revision position, which allows, for example, an emptying of the container or an exchange of the container.

A particularly simple storage of the container on the housing of the functional unit is achieved when the container has on its underside a particular slot-shaped recess for receiving a mounted on the housing tilting axis.

Preferably, the container on a rear side facing away from its visible side on a slotted guide, which extends substantially vertically in befindlichem in the passive position container and in which a slidably coupled to a connected between the housing and the functional element gas spring carriage is slidably disposed.

Advantageously, a fixing element, for example a clamp, is provided which fixes the carriage as long as the container is moved between its passive position and its active position and which releases the carriage as soon as the container is moved beyond the active position into the revision position.

The fixing prevents movement of the carriage along the slotted guide during proper use of the container and prevents an unauthorized person to fold out the container further than to the active position out of the housing. In contrast, the displacement of the slide released from the fixing element in the slotted guide allows a movement or tilting of the container beyond the active position, even when the gas spring has maximally relaxed or has reached a maximally expanded state. In this way it is possible to move the container despite a limited expansion of the gas spring into the revision position.

According to one embodiment, the container is dimensioned so that it can optionally accommodate a stack of toilet paper rolls or a holder for a toilet brush. The ability to use the container for various purposes ultimately results in a reduction in the cost of producing a suitably equipped wall module and also provides the ability to easily replace a spare roll holder with a toilet brush holder and vice versa.

According to an alternative embodiment, the container is a waste container.

In addition to the functional unit comprising the waste container, a functional unit embodied as a towel dispenser can be arranged adjacent and in particular above the functional unit having the waste container. The proximity of towel dispenser and waste bin makes it possible to remove one from the towel dispenser Dispose of towel immediately after use in the waste container and in particular let fall into this.

Preferably, a sensor is provided which detects the removal of a towel from the towel dispenser. The sensor may be, for example, a proximity switch, an infrared light sensor or a, e.g. act on high frequency radiation, motion sensor act.

Advantageously, the sensor is connected to a motor, in particular electromotive, drive for moving the waste container from its passive position into its active position in order to activate the drive upon detection of a towel removal. This makes it possible to automatically open the waste container when removing a towel and thus make it automatically accessible to the user of the towel.

To allow manual movement of the waste container back into the passive position, i. Thus, to facilitate the closing of the waste container, a coupling between the drive and the waste container can be connected, through which the drive can be decoupled from a manual movement of the waste container from an active position back into the passive position of the waste container.

Alternatively or additionally, a drive control can be provided, which causes a movement of the container back into the passive position after a predetermined period of time after movement of the container into the active position. In this case, the drive not only ensures automatic opening of the waste container, but also time-controlled for automatic closing of the container. A manual closing of the container is therefore not required.

According to a further embodiment, the functional element can be a tray or a hook, which can be brought from the passive position into the active position by means of a translatory movement. In other words, unlike the containers described above, such a functional element is not folded out of the housing of the functional unit, but instead moved out of it in a linear movement.

The functional unit preferably has a housing which can optionally accommodate a functional element designed as a shelf or two functional elements designed as hooks. Such a versatile housing not only contributes to a further reduction in the cost of producing the wall module, but it also facilitates retrofitting of the wall module of a shelf functionality on a hook functionality or vice versa.

According to a further embodiment, the functional element may be a support folding handle, which can be folded from a substantially vertical passive position into a substantially horizontal active position.

To achieve prescribed payloads, the support flap handle is preferably mounted on a behind the wall module, in particular masonry or concrete wall, for example, on the wall to which the frame of the wall module is attached.

A particularly compact design of the support folding handle can be achieved in that the horizontal active position is defined by a stop acting from above on the support folding handle.

Another object of the invention is a wall-like wall module, in particular of the type described above, which has a toilet bowl and a toilet cistern, which are mounted on a frame of the wall module, wherein the toilet cistern is hidden behind a panel.

To make a manual rinsing after using the toilet unnecessary, a sensor for automatically triggering a rinsing process can be provided. The sensor may be a capacitive sensor, an infrared sensor, a radio sensor, a motion detector or a room monitoring sensor.

Furthermore, the sensor may be coupled to a purge control, which determines a required purge volume from a received sensor signal. In this way, for example, with a longer presence of a user of the toilet, the flushing volume can be increased accordingly.

Another object of the invention is also a functional unit, in particular for a wall module according to the invention, with a housing and a laterally projecting, in particular circumferential, edge. The functional unit may additionally have the features of the above-described functional units.

In Fig. 1 a first embodiment of a wall module according to the invention is shown, which in addition to a toilet bowl 10 each having a support flap handle 12 functional units, designed as a toilet paper dispenser functional unit 14, designed as a toilet brush holder functional unit 16 and formed as a spare paper roll holder functional unit 18.

As Fig. 2 shows, the wall module on a frame 20, which is also referred to as a mounting frame. To install the wall module, the frame 20 is placed at a certain distance from an example masonry or concrete wall 22 and fixed, for example by means of screw 28 at this. In addition, the frame 20 can be fixed to the floor 24, for example by means of screw connections. If the frame 20 extends to a ceiling, then it is also possible to fix the frame 20 as an alternative or in addition to the attachment to the wall 22 on the ceiling. The distance of the frame 20 to the wall 22 is selected so that a cistern 26 can be arranged between the wall 22 and the frame 20 and move the required Zuleitungs- or drainage pipes for the toilet bowl between the wall 22 and the frame 20 to let. For automatically triggering a rinsing process, a rinsing control 27 is coupled to the cistern 26. The purge controller 27 communicates with a sensor that detects use of the WC, and controls the purge volume in response to the detected usage duration. Alternatively, the flushing volume can also be fixed.

Above the frame 20 also two spaced fasteners 30 are mounted on the wall 22, the purpose of which will be explained below.

Left and right of the frame 20, the support folding handles 12 are mounted on the wall 22 at a suitable height above the floor 24. For this purpose, a mounting base 32 is provided for each support flap handle 12, which is screwed to the wall 22. The support folding handles 12 are each attached via a bearing pedestal 34 at its respective associated mounting base 32. Each bearing pedestal 34 is by means of four Adjusting screws 36 attached to its mounting base 32, each adjusting screw 36 is connected between the bearing base 34 and the mounting base 36, for example, dish spring-like design, spring element is assigned. By adjusting the set screws 36, each bearing pedestal 34 can be moved relative to its mounting base 32 to allow a correct orientation of the respective support flap handle 12.

Each support folding handle 12 is pivotably mounted about a substantially horizontally and parallel to the wall 22 extending pivot axis on its associated bearing pedestal 34 such that the support flap handle 12 between a substantially vertical passive position ( Fig. 1b ) and a substantially horizontal active position ( Fig. 1a and Fig. 2 ) can be pivoted.

In order to prevent pivoting of the support folding handles 12 down beyond the horizontal active position, each support folding handle 12 strikes in its active position against a stop 38. The stops 38 are each formed by a U-shaped bent sheet metal, which is so connected to the respective bearing base 34, for example screwed or welded, that it is located in the active position Stützklappgriff 12 via a pivot axis between the wall 22 and extending portion of the support flap handle 12 extends.

After mounting the frame 20, the support folding handles 12 and the fasteners 30, a front panel 40 is placed on the wall 22 facing away from the front of the frame 20 and after correct vertical alignment attached to this ( Fig. 3 ).

Then lateral foam body 42, 44 are attached to the left and right side of the frame 20 and fixed, for example by means of a screw and / or adhesive connection to this. In addition, an upper foam body 46 is placed from above on the frame 20 and on the side foam body 42, 44 and bonded thereto. In addition, the upper foam body 46 is replaced by the wall-mounted fasteners 30 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) fixed to the wall 22.

The vertical orientation of the side foam body 42, 44 is carried out by striking these foam body 42, 44 to the front panel 40. Should the front panel 40 is different than in Fig. 3 shown not protrude to the lateral edges of the frame 20, the lateral foam body 42, 44 each have at least one lateral projection which partially overlaps the front of the frame 20 and abuts the front panel 40 laterally.

As Fig. 3 and 4 it can also be seen, the lateral foam body 42, 44 each have a downwardly facing projection 48, which extends when mounted on the frame 20 foam bodies 42, 44 to the bottom 24. In this way, the foam bodies 42, 44 not only hang on the frame 20, but they can simultaneously be supported on the floor 24. However, the projections 48 are not mandatory. Rather, the lateral foam body 42, 44 may be formed without the projections 48 and held only by the frame 20, so to speak, float above the bottom 24.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the depth of the foam bodies 42-46 is selected such that the foam bodies 42, 46 mounted on the frame 20 are in contact, at least in regions, with the wall 22 on their rear side. In principle, it is also possible, the foam body 42-46 form with a smaller depth, so that they have a distance from the wall 22 in the mounted state.

The foam bodies 42-46 may be formed from a rigid foam and in particular from expanded polystyrene (EPS), such as Styrofoam.

As in Fig. 4 is shown, the lateral foam body 42, 44 on their sides facing the frame 20 each have a recess 74, in which a correspondingly formed retaining plate 76 of the frame 20 engages the lateral foam body 42, 44 when mounted on the frame 20 in to maintain the desired vertical position.

The lateral foam body 42, 44 are mirror-inverted. Each lateral foam body 42, 44 has in its lower region a first rectangular cavity 50 and a second rectangular cavity 52 which are open to the front of the foam body 42, 44, respectively. While the horizontal dimensions, i. the widths of the first and second cavities 50, 52 are the same, the vertical dimension, i. the height of the second cavity 52 located below the first cavity 50 is a multiple of the height of the second cavity 52. The cavities 50, 52 serve to receive the functional units described in more detail below.

Above the second cavity 52 there is arranged a recess 54 extending at least partially from the rear side to the front of the foam body 40, 42, which is provided for receiving the mounting base 32, the bearing pedestal 34 and the support folding handle 12 and their rearward shape to the outer shape the mounting base 32 is adjusted. A to the front of the foam body 42, 44 facing region of Recess 44 is in the form of an inverted T with a horizontally extending portion 56 and a vertical portion 58 extending vertically from the horizontal portion 56.

The depth of the upper foam body 46 is matched to the depth of the side foam bodies 42, 44, and its horizontal dimension, i. its width, is chosen so that the upper foam body 46 in the assembled state is flush with the attached to the frame 20 lateral foam bodies 42, 44.

In the lateral lower regions of the upper foam body 46, two elongated recesses 60 are formed, which are open both to the front and to the underside of the foam body 46. The recesses 60 are positioned so that they form a vertical extension of the vertical recess portions 58 of the side foam bodies 42, 44 in the mounted state of all foam bodies 42-46. The vertical dimension, that is, the height of the recesses 60 is selected so that the recesses 60 of the upper foam body 46 together with the vertical recess portions 58 of the side foam body 42, 44 receptacles for the support folding handles 12, in which the support folding handles 12 in the passive position ( Fig. 1b ) are housed.

After assembly of the foamed bodies 42-46, the functional units already mentioned are inserted into the cavities 50, 52 or the recesses 54, 60 of the foam bodies 42-46, the toilet bowl 10 is mounted and the drywall adjacent to the wall module is executed ( Fig. 5 ).

As Fig. 6 shows, each functional unit comprises a box-shaped housing 62 whose outer dimensions to the dimensions of the designated Cavity 50, 52 are adapted to ensure a substantially wobble-free fit of the functional unit in the cavity 50, 52. The functional units comprising the support folding handles 12 also each have a housing 62 whose outer dimensions are adapted to the dimensions of the recesses 54, 60.

Each housing 62 is provided on its front side with an outwardly projecting peripheral edge 64, which in the cavity 50, 52 and in the recess 54, 60 inserted housing 62 a cavity 50, 52 and the recess 64, 60 delimiting Edge region 66 of the foam body 42-46 overlaps.

Thus, the front surfaces 68 of the housing 62 flush with the front surfaces 70 of the foam body 42-46, the cavities 50, 52 and the recesses 54, 60 bounding edge regions 66 of the foam body 42-46 are formed recessed by an amount which substantially the thickness of the projecting edges 64 of the housing 62 corresponds.

On the upper side of the protruding edge 64 of the housing 62 of the functional unit used in the lower cavity 50 of a side foam body 42, 44 are formed two spaced apart and each outwardly widening recesses 88, which are located between the recesses 88, tapering outwardly Limit projection 90.

A lower side of the protruding edge 64 of the housing 62 of the functional unit inserted into the upper cavity 52 of the respective foam body 42, 44 is designed to be complementary and accordingly has two mutually spaced apart and tapering outwards Projections 92 and a located between these and outwardly widening recess 94.

When the functional units are inserted into the cavities 50, 52, the projections 92 of the upper housing 62 engage in the recesses 88 of the lower housing 62, while the projection 90 of the lower housing 62 engages in the recess 94 of the upper housing 62. By engaging in the corresponding recesses projections, the superposed functional units are correctly aligned relative to each other.

While for the functional units to be inserted into the cavities 50, 52, initially only the housings 62 or alternatively the complete functional units can be inserted into the cavities 50, 52, the housings 62 of the functional units comprising the support folding handles 12 must be pushed onto the preassembled support folding handles 12 and For this purpose, have a corresponding opening for the support flap handle 12 and for the bearing base 34. Furthermore, these housings 62 are provided with four bores 72, which provide access to the adjusting screws 36 of the bearing pedestal 34 and thus allow a subsequent adjustment or alignment of the support folding handles 12.

The housings 62 inserted into the cavities 50, 52 or into the recesses 54, 60 are fixed to the corresponding foam bodies 42-46 by means of a screwed and / or glued connection.

After installation of the functional units in the foam body 42-46 the visible side of the wall module is covered with a panel. As Fig. 1 can be seen, the aperture is composed of several rectangular aperture elements 78-84. This is a group of aperture elements 78 applied directly to the upper foam body 46 and fixed, for example by means of magnets on this. The use of magnets allows for easy removal of the aperture elements 78 from the foam body 46, for example, to subsequently install additional functional units at a later date.

Another group of diaphragm elements 80 is placed on the housing 62 of the functional units and fixed by means of snap-in connections, for example by means of locking cams or clips on this.

A third group of aperture elements 82 is adhered to movable functional elements of the functional units, for example the support folding handles 12, on an extract 100 of the toilet paper dispenser 14, on a container 104 of the toilet brush holder 16 or on a container 104 of the reserve paper roll holder 18.

Another panel element 84 covers the lower part of the frame 20. The diaphragm element 84 has two holes so that it can be pushed onto two bolts 86 for fastening the toilet bowl 10 to the frame 20. The fixing of the diaphragm element 84 takes place by means of a clamping between the frame 20 and the toilet bowl 10 mounted on the frame 20.

As in Fig. 1 can be seen, the underside of the aperture elements 78-84 composed aperture does not reach up to the bottom 24 zoom. Rather, between the underside of the panel and the bottom 24 a coverable for example by a bottom strip distance is provided, which produces a "floating" impression of the wall module.

In order to prevent moisture from penetrating behind the baffle, a seal 172 is provided for sealing the gap between two adjacent baffle elements 78, 78 and 78, 80 ( Fig. 7 ).

The seal 172 comprises a flat sealing element 174 with a substantially rectangular cross-section, which is inserted and positioned in a groove 176 provided in the foam body 42-46 or in the foam bodies 42-46 or in the recessed edge region 66, that edge areas facing each other adjacent aperture elements 78, 78 and 78, 80 rest thereon. The height of the flat sealing element 174 is adapted to the depth of the groove 176 and the edge portion 66 such that the flat sealing member 174 protrudes a little out of the groove 176 and the edge portion 66 at not attached aperture and by the attached aperture elements 78, 78 and 78, 80 is pressed. In order to increase the sealing effect even further, a lying on the flat sealing element lure tape 178 between the aperture elements 78, 78 and 78, 80 is arranged.

Passes the seal 172 as in Fig. 7b shown in the recessed edge portion 66 of the side foam body 42, 44, the seal 172 can serve as a stop for the housing 62 of a functional unit and facilitate the alignment of the functional unit.

Fig. 8 shows a combination of two superposed functional units, which are provided for installation in the cavities 50, 52 of a lateral foam body 42, 44 and which are covered by a common aperture element 80.

The upper functional unit is a toilet paper dispenser 14, which has a housing 62 with a receiving space for a Toilet paper roll 96 has. The toilet paper roll 96 is pushed onto an axis 98 which is mounted in an extension 100 which makes it possible to pull the axis 98 out of the housing 62, for example for an exchange of the toilet paper roll 96 ( Fig. 9 ). At its front side, the drawer 100 is provided with a front wall 102 to which a panel member 82 is adhered.

In the present embodiment, a spring element between the drawer 100 and the housing 62 is connected in the rear region of the housing 62 to automatically push out the drawer 100 from the housing 62 after release of a locking mechanism. The solution of the locking mechanism can be done for example by exerting a compressive force on the front wall 102 of the drawer 100. Instead of an automatic movement of the drawer 100 out of the housing 62, a purely manual movement of the drawer 100 can also be provided.

The functional unit arranged below the toilet paper dispenser 14 is a reserve paper roll holder 18. The housing 62 of this functional unit has a cuboid basic shape. In the housing 62, a substantially rectangular container 104 is mounted between a passive layer in which it is completely housed in the housing 62 ( Fig. 8a and 8b ), and an active position is tiltable, in which the container 104 partially protrudes from the housing 62 and an open top of the container 104 is accessible from the outside ( Fig. 8c to 8e ). A tilting axis 106 provided for this purpose extends in the region of a front lower edge of the housing and is received in a slot-shaped receptacle 108 of the container 104. The movement of the container 104 from the passive position into the active position is effected automatically by means of a gas pressure spring 110 connected between the housing 62 and the container 104.

On the back 112 of the container 104, a gate guide, not shown, is provided, which extends in befindlichem in the passive position container 104 in the vertical direction. In the slide guide, a carriage 114 is slidably mounted, which is fixed by a fixing element, not shown, for example, a bracket in an upper region of the slotted guide, as long as the container 104 is moved between the passive position and the active position. The carriage 104 is pivotally connected to one end of the gas spring 110, while the other end of the gas spring 110 is hinged to the rear wall 116 of the housing 62.

In the passive position of the container 104, the gas spring 110 is in a compressed state, whereas an expansion of the gas spring 110 causes a tilting of the container 104 out of the housing 62 out.

To prevent inadvertent movement of the container 104 from the passive layer to the active position, a locking mechanism 118 is disposed on the rear wall 116 of the housing 62, which engages the container 104 in the passive position container 104 and holds it in the passive position , The locking mechanism has, on its front side facing the container 104, a magnet 120 which cooperates with a magnet or metal part provided correspondingly on the container 104. The release of the locking mechanism 118 is accomplished by exerting a compressive force on the front of the container 104. A movable portion of the released locking mechanism 118 moves the container 104 out of the passive position so that the force exerted on the container 104 by the expanding gas spring 110 acts as a force Holding force of the magnet 120 exceeds and the container 104 is moved to its active position.

The opened container 104 is manually returned to its passive position by being pushed into the housing 62. Here, the locking mechanism 118 is locked again, and the container 104 is securely held in the passive position again.

To close the interior of the housing 62 when the container 104 is in the passive position, a portion 122 of the front wall 124 of the container 104 projects upwardly beyond the actual container 104. To achieve a clear appearance, the front wall 124 of the container 104 is also provided with an aperture element 82.

In order to remain open even when the container 104 is open, i. With the container 104 in the active position, to block the view into the interior of the housing 62, moreover, a portion 126 of the rear wall 112 of the container 104 projects beyond the actual container 104. The rear wall section 126 is angled relative to the remaining rear wall 112 of the container 104 such that it lies in a substantially vertical plane with the container 104 in the active position and thus extends at least approximately parallel to the front surface of the wall module.

The container 104 is dimensioned so that it can accommodate a stack of four toilet paper rolls 96 accurately. Thus, in this configuration, the functional unit can be used as a spare roll holder 18.

Alternatively, it is possible to insert a brush holder 128 for holding a toilet brush 130 in the container 104 (FIG. Fig. 10 ). A functional unit configured in this way consequently serves as a toilet brush holder 16. The brush holder 128 can be used for cleaning purposes, for example also be removed from the container 104 for converting the functional unit into a reserve roll holder 18.

As FIGS. 11 and 12 show the container 104, for example, for inspection purposes also completely remove from the housing 62. For this purpose, the container 104 has to be tilted beyond the holding position of the fixing element fixing the carriage 104 beyond the active position. During this tilting of the container 104 beyond the active position, the carriage 114 coupled to the gas spring 110 moves the slotted guide in the rear wall 112 of the container 104 so far down until it reaches the end of the slide guide and exits therefrom. As soon as the carriage 114 leaves the slotted guide, the container 104 is decoupled from the gas spring 110. The container 104 can now be lifted off the tilting axis 106 and removed from the housing 62.

For re-installation of the container 104 in the housing 62 of the container 104 is placed back on the tilting axis 106 and the carriage 104 is inserted into the slotted guide. Subsequently, the container 104 is returned to its active position, in which the carriage 114 is again fixed by the fixing element.

In Fig. 13 a second embodiment of a wall module according to the invention is shown, which is similar to the above-described first embodiment of a frame, a plurality of foam bodies mounted on the frame, functional units inserted therein and an assembled from a plurality of diaphragm elements aperture, but which in the functionality and in particular in distinguishes the existing functional units from the first embodiment described above.

So that includes in Fig. 13 illustrated wall module a washstand 132 with an associated armature 134 and a soap dispenser 136 and a plurality of hooks 138 consisting of a passive layer ( Fig. 13a ) into an active position ( Fig. 13b ) can be brought, a filing 140, from a passive position ( Fig. 13a ) into an active position ( Fig. 13b ), a towel dispenser 142 and a waste container 144 made of a passive layer ( Fig. 13a ) into an active position ( Fig. 13b ) can be brought.

The functional unit forming the towel dispenser 142 is arranged directly above the functional unit comprising the waste container 144.

Like the functional units already described above, the towel dispenser 142 comprises a box-shaped housing 62 which can be inserted into a cavity correspondingly formed in one or more foam bodies ( Fig. 14 ).

Furthermore, the housing 62 of the towel dispenser 142 has a circumferential, laterally projecting edge 64 which engages over a border region of the foam body or the foam body delimiting the cavity of the foam body or the foam body and a fixing of the housing 62 to the foam body or foam bodies allows. At the bottom of the housing edge 64 projections or recesses are formed, as in connection with Fig. 6 have been described in order to ensure a correct orientation of the towel dispenser 142 with the functional unit comprising the waste container 144.

The housing 62 of the towel dispenser 142 has at its front two superimposed openings, wherein the upper opening is formed larger and for loading the towel dispenser with towels serves, while the smaller lower opening when used as intended the towel dispenser 142 allows the removal of a towel from the towel dispenser 142.

To cover the housing 62 of the towel dispenser 142 two aperture elements 146, 148 are provided. The one aperture element 146 is designed in the shape of a frame to cover the part of the housing 62 bounding the towel removal opening and to release the removal opening itself. This diaphragm element 146 may be fixed to the housing 62 with a latching and / or adhesive connection.

The other panel member 148 serves to cover the part of the housing 62 which comprises the towel compartment, and is closed by a latching connection, e.g. by means of locking cams or clips, attached to the housing 62, so that it can be easily detached from the housing 62 to fill the towel dispenser 142 with towels. The shutter member 148 is supported by means of four extendable rails 150 on the housing 62, whereby the removal of the shutter member 148 from the housing 62 and the Wiederanbringen the shutter member 148 to the housing 62 and thus the filling of the towel dispenser 142 with towels is considerably simplified ,

The functional unit comprising the waste container 144 is constructed in accordance with the functional unit serving as a toilet brush holder 16 or as a spare paper roll holder 18, ie comprising a gas spring 110 interposed between the housing 62 and the waste container 144, with a carriage 114 guided in a slotted guide of the waste container 144 is coupled, and a locking mechanism 118 with a magnet 120 for securing the waste container 144 in the passive position and stored in a receptacle 108 of the waste container 144 Tilt axis 106 ( Fig. 15 ). With regard to the operation of the waste container 144, reference is made to the above statements.

According to an alternative embodiment, not shown, instead of using a gas pressure spring 110, it is also possible to provide a motor drive, for example an electric motor or a servomotor, for moving the waste container 144 out of the passive position into the active position. This drive can be activated for example by a sensor signal of a sensor which is arranged in the region of the removal opening of the towel dispenser 142 and detects the removal of a towel from the towel dispenser 142. In this way, removal of a towel from the towel dispenser 142 may cause automatic opening of the waste container 144 to dispose of the removed towel after use.

Closing the waste container 144 after disposal of the used towel, i. The movement of the waste container 144 from the active position back into the passive position, can then be done manually by the waste container 144 is pushed back into the housing 62. In order to minimize the effort required to return the waste container 144 to the passive layer, a clutch may be interposed between the drive and the waste container 144 which causes the waste container 144 to be decoupled from the drive during manual movement of the waste container 144.

Alternatively, the movement of the waste container 144 from the active position into the passive position can also be effected automatically by the drive. For this purpose, a drive controller may be configured to drive after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after opening the drive Trash bin 144 is activated in the reverse direction to close the waste container 144 again.

In Fig. 16 and 17 For example, a functional unit with two hooks 138 is shown in more detail. The functional unit comprises a box-shaped housing 62 with a peripherally projecting edge 64 on its front side. The housing 62 has a closed side 152 at the top and an open side 154 at the bottom. The hooks 138 are mounted in an upper region of the housing 62, namely struts 156 extending transversely through the housing 62.

The hooks 138 have a cylindrical basic shape and have on their upper side a recess 158 with a flat bottom. By an axial movement, the hooks 138 are movable from a passive position, in which they are completely housed in the housing 62, in an active position in which they protrude at least partially out of the housing 62.

The hooks 138 are mounted in a sleeve 160 fixed in the housing 62. The movement of a hook 138 from the passive position into the active position is effected automatically by the expansion of a helical compression spring 162, which is connected between the sleeve 160 and the hook 138. Conversely, the movement of the hook 138 from the active position takes place in the passive position by the hook 138 is manually pushed back into the housing 62, wherein the helical compression spring 162 is stretched again.

In order to keep the helical compression spring 162 in the compressed state and the hook 138 in the passive position, a locking mechanism 164 of the type described above is provided, which can be solved by applying a compressive force from the outside on the hook 138. For additional securing of the hook 138 in the sleeve 160, the locking mechanism 164 also include a magnet which cooperates with an associated magnet or piece of metal on the back of the hook 138.

As in the case of the functional units described above, diaphragm elements 80, 82 are also attached to the front side of the housing 62 or the hook 138 in this functional unit.

In Fig. 18 and 19 a functional unit with a shelf 140 is shown. The tray 140 has a substantially plate-shaped basic shape with a recess 166 at the top.

The tray 140 is mounted in a housing 62, the housing 62 is formed substantially identical to the housing 62 of the hook 138 having functional unit. However, the housing 62 is reversed for use with the tray 140 so that the open side 154 faces upwardly and the closed side 152 downwardly in this case. However, the tray 140 is also located in the upper portion of the housing 62, i. ie in the area not used for the hooks 138. The tray 140 is guided between the already mentioned struts 156.

The tray 140 can be brought into an active position by a translational movement of a passive layer in which it is completely housed in the housing 62, in which it protrudes at least partially from the housing 62. For automatic movement of the tray 140 from the passive position in the active position a switched between the tray 140 and the housing 62 coil spring 168 is provided, which is stretched in the passive position of the tray 140 and thus stretched and during movement of the tray 140 in the active position rolls up and thus relaxed.

Similarly as with the hooks 138, the movement of the tray 140 from the active layer to the passive layer is also done manually, i. By pushing the tray 140 into the housing 62. According to the functional unit comprising the hooks 138, the functional unit comprising the tray 140 further comprises a locking mechanism 170, optionally with a magnet, for securing the tray 140 in the passive position, the locking mechanism 170 being actuated by pressure from outside on the tray 140 is solvable.

Also, the tray 140 having functional unit is provided at its front with a mounted on the housing 62 panel member 80 and attached to the front of the tray 140 panel member 82.

Both in the housing 62 of the functional unit comprising the hooks 138 and in the housing 62 of the functional unit having the shelf 140, the downwardly extending portion of the housing edge 64 has a greater dimension in the vertical direction than the opposite, ie the upper, portion of the housing Side edge 64. The only difference between the housings 62 of these functional units is therefore that the longer vertical portion of the side edge 64 in the hook having the functional unit 138 from the open side 154 and in which the tray 140 having functional unit of the closed side 152 of the housing box extends.
