  • the present invention relates to a means for a sanitary room installation according to the preamble of claim 1 and more specifically a means for installation in a sanitary room, in particular for hospitals, nursing homes, and homes designed for the elderly in rebuilding or new construction, and related sanitary equipment.
  • the sanitary equipment is not adjustable, which means that it does not have a satisfactory function for some groups of patients. There are a certain adjustability today, but this normally demands that a craftsman has to be called in order to perform height adjustments.
  • DE 100 08 433 Al discloses a means for a sanitary room installation comprising sanitary units in the form of modules comprising a casette with a cover.
  • the cassettes are mutually connected through tubular elements, i.e. effluent pipes, which are hidden behind the cassettes and/or panel elements.
  • JP 6 000139 A discloses a sanitary room installation with a height adjustable wash basin.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a means for sanitary installations, which fulfils all existing demands on sanitary installations while it at the same time is easily adjustable to different users and different needs.
  • a sanitary installation which can be mounted easily and quickly, which permits access to the installation without wrecking and wherein the WC bowl, the shower means and the wash basin can be adjusted in height to be adapted to the individual needs of the patient while at the same time cold and hot water and electricity and control signal conduits are placed in the tubular elements connecting the different modules with each other.
  • the tubular elements can run along all walls of the room and thereby they can act as hand rails and they are mounted in the WC, shower and wash basin cassettes instead of the traditional mounting in the walls with a plurality screws which puncture the sealing liner.
  • the means according to the invention comprises also modules in the form of cabinet modules design to be mounted on the tubular elements in that said modules on the back are provided with recesses with a width adapted to a diameter of the tubular elements and with an extension running inclined upwards so that the cabinet module can be safely and stably hung on the tubular element while at the same time the cabinet easily can be moved to other parts of the room without puncture of the sealing liner for mounting of the cabinet in new positions.
  • the present invention comprises a floor-to-ceiling high module, i.e. a means that runs all the way from floor to ceiling in the installation space, for placing the installation where water and soil pipes are installed in the means, and wherein it is provided with a removable front door with the same height as the means, making the installation accessible in its entirety.
  • the means can, for each need, be provided with factory mounted installation or alternatively the installation can be placed in the means at the site.
  • the means has a height adjustable WC basin and height adjustable arm rests, the length of which can be varied as required. The arm rests can also be lifted if required and also be easily removed from the cassette.
  • the means can also have a thermostat mixer faucet on the side for a shower for personal hygiene.
  • the wash basin module comprises preferably a device for continuous adjustment of the wash basin, wherein the wash basin height can be adjusted individually for the need of each patient and further the device is provided with a mounting intended to be user or a patient in a wheel chair, who wants to pull himself/herself in towards the wash basin.
  • the shower module is preferably so designed that the front panel with thermostat mixer faucet and the shower bar can be adjusted in height from a low position, when the patient is sitting in a shower chair and is supposed to take care of the hygiene and to a high position for someone taking a shower in a standing position or if nursing staff have the patient lying on a shower carriage, when the height of the mixer faucet can be adjusted so that the mixer faucet comes in a position above the shower carriage to be accessible for the staff.
  • the WC module has a base where the surface layer of the floor is drawn up and the shower and wash basin modules and an optional cabinet module are preferably mounted on a height above the floor in order to facilitate the cleaning.
  • the modules waterproof or at least substantially waterproof and thanks to that, according to the invention, no puncture of a sealing liner in the sanitary room occurs in the parts exposed to water, the sanitary room can be flushed on demand without any danger of water damages or damages on electric equipment.
