Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drain with a flexible layer arrangement and a method for arranging a flexible layer arrangement on a drain.
  • Flexible layers are applied in many variants.
  • One of the applications is to bridge two rigid objects which can displace relative to each other. This displacement can be in the order of several centimetres or more, but also less, as occurs as a result of expansion and contraction of materials.
  • the flexible layer is often used to seal the space created by the displacement. It is therefore important that the flexible layer is properly secured to both objects.
  • a flexible layer is used to retain a water seal between the drain and the floor, despite the movement which may occur between the drain and the floor as a result of the drain heating and cooling.
  • a flange on which the flexible layer can be arranged is provided in some cases.
  • This flange however usually protrudes to a position under the finishing layer of the floor, such as for instance a tile layer.
  • the setting of tiles is however impeded by this flange, since the usual tapping-in of the tiles is hindered by the flange. Efforts are therefore made in such cases to keep the flange as small as possible, which in turn has an adverse effect on the fixing of the flexible layer.
  • EP-A1-2 248 957 which was published on 10-11-2010 claims the priority date of 06-05-2009. Its content as filed is therefore considered to be comprised in the state of the art relevant to the question of novelty in accordance with Article 54(3) EPC.
  • This document relates to a drain with a flexible layer arrangement comprising a flexible layer being a sealing membrane, wherein the sealing membrane is an elastic layer of which at least one surface is roughened.
  • the flexible layer is a sealing membrane excluding an elastic layer of which at least one surface is roughened.
  • independent method-claim 2 except for: the flexible layer is provided with an adhesive layer and the tray is placed with the horizontal flanges on the adhesive layer.
  • DE-A1-2612684 discloses a drain comprising a tray (1) with a bottom surface and upright walls arranged along the periphery of the bottom surface, wherein a flange is arranged on the free edge of at least one upright wall and wherein a flexible layer arrangement (6,14,15) is arranged on the flange, said flexible layer arrangement (6,14,15) comprising a flexible layer (14), being a sealing membrane excluding an elastic layer of which at least one surface is roughened, having a free end (16) and an edge (2'), and a strip of flexible material (15), being a sealing membrane, extending parallel to the edge (2'), which strip (15) is arranged with one of its edges on the flexible layer (14) at a distance from the edge (2') of the flexible layer (14) and which strip (15) has a free edge extending substantially as far as the edge (2') of the flexible layer (14) such that with the flexible layer arrangement (6,14,15) a structure of Y-shaped cross-section is obtained.
  • This document further discloses a method for arranging a flexible layer arrangement (6,14,15) on a drain comprising a tray (1) with a bottom surface and upright walls arranged along the periphery of the bottom surface, wherein a flange is arranged on the free edge of each upright wall, the method comprising the steps of providing a flexible layer (14), being a sealing membrane, and providing a strip of flexible material (15), being a sealing membrane.
  • both the flexible layer and the strip of flexible material are a sealing membrane.
  • a sealing membrane is frequently used in the field of sanitary fittings, wherein the sealing membrane forms a watertight layer under a layer of tiles arranged on the sealing membrane.
  • the drain according to the invention is particularly advantageous because a drain has relatively little fixing surface while a good water seal is nevertheless desired.
  • the invention further comprises the method according to independent claim 2, as already indicated above.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention comprises the step of cutting out the part of the flexible layer between the upright walls of the tray.
  • This cutting out can for instance take place using a suitable knife, a laser or a water jet.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view in longitudinal section of a flexible layer arrangement 1 for use with a drain according to the invention.
  • This flexible layer arrangement 1 has a flexible layer, being a sealing membrane (excluding an elastic layer of which at least one surface is roughened), having a free end and an edge 2.
  • a strip 3 of flexible material, being a sealing membrane, is arranged parallel to this edge 2.
  • Strip 3 is arranged on the flexible layer at a distance from edge 2 via contact surface 4.
  • the strip 3 itself also has a free edge 5 which extends substantially as far as edge 2 of the flexible layer.
  • a structure of Y-shaped cross-section is hereby obtained as shown in figure 1 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a drain 10 not according to the invention.
  • This drain 10 has a tray consisting of a bottom surface 11 and upright walls 12.
  • a grating 13 is placed in tray 11, 12.
  • a flexible layer arrangement 1 according to figure 1 is also arranged on tray 11, 12. Edge 2 of the flexible layer is here arranged on upright wall 12, while the free edge 5 of strip 3 is arranged on bottom surface 11. A firm fixing of flexible layer arrangement 1 on tray 11, 12 is hereby obtained.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of an embodiment 15 of a drain according to the invention.
  • This drain has an elongate tray consisting of a bottom surface 16, upright walls 17 and horizontal flanges 18 arranged on the free edges of upright walls 17.
  • a flexible layer 19 is arranged on the corresponding flange 18 on the short sides of tray 16, 17, 18.
  • a flexible layer arrangement 1 is arranged on the long sides of tray 16, 17, 18.
  • flexible layers of flexible layer arrangements 1 overlap flexible layers 19.
  • Flexible layer 19 is here received together with flange 18 between free edge 2 and free edge 5 of strip 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows a flexible layer 30 not according to the invention.
  • the flexible layer has an adhesive layer 31 on one side.
  • a factory-supplied cover foil 32, 33, 34 is arranged on this adhesive layer 31.
  • the third part 34 of the cover foil can be removed for fixing of flexible layer 30 onto for instance a substrate.
  • Drain 40 has a bottom surface 41 with upright walls 42 and a horizontal flange 43 on all sides of these walls.
  • a flexible layer 44 is placed on a table 45.
  • This table is provided with a perforated surface 46. Air is extracted via these perforations so that flexible layer 44 is suctioned fixedly onto surface 46 and whereby flexible layer 44 is held flat and without folds.
  • a drain 41, 42, 43 is then placed in opening 47, after which a strip 48 is arranged over flange 43. This whole is finally pressed down by a cover 49. Using this cover 49 sufficient pressure can for instance be exerted on the assembly of flexible layer 44, drain 41, 42, 43 and strip 48. When an adhesive is used the fixing is hereby improved, or the two layers 44 and 48 can otherwise be fused by means of heating.
  • FIG. 7 shows a drain 50 not according to the invention.
  • Drain 50 has a bottom surface 51, upright walls 52 and horizontal flanges 53.
  • a fixing plate 54 is arranged on one of the horizontal flanges 53 via a flexible layer 55.
  • the drain 50 can be secured firmly to a surrounding construction. Variations resulting from for instance expansion can be compensated by using flexible layer 55. It is thus usual to arrange an insulating plate under the concrete floor in which drain 50 is arranged. Gas can sometimes still be released from such insulating plates, whereby the thickness of the plate varies and the concrete floor lying thereon sinks downward.
  • fixing plate 54 When fixing plate 54 is arranged vertically against a wall and use is made of an insulating plate which becomes thinner in the course of time, the construction of the flexible layer further ensures that the risk of the flexible layer being torn away from flange 53 is reduced.
  • the flexible transition between horizontal flange 53 and fixing plate 54 moreover provides for a sound reduction.
  • the vibrations resulting for instance from water falling onto drain 50 cannot be transmitted to fixing plate 54. Because the vibrations remain limited to drain 50 itself, the associated sound production will be lower.
  • FIG. 8 shows a drain 60 not according to the invention.
  • a mounting strip 61 is first attached to the substrate via a screw 62.
  • Mounting strip 61 has a groove 63 into which the end of a second mounting strip 64 protrudes.
  • Mounting strip 64 is fastened to for instance a wall by means of a second screw 65.
  • a drain 67 is fixed to second mounting strip 64 via a flexible layer 66.
  • FIG. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of a drain 70 not according to the invention.
  • This drain 70 has a bottom surface 71 and upright walls 72.
  • An outward protruding flange 73 is arranged on one upright wall 72.
  • An inward protruding flange 74 is arranged on the other upright wall 72, this flange 74 having a downward hanging edge 75.
  • a flexible layer 76 is arranged at the transition between upright wall 72 and inward protruding flange 74.
  • Such an embodiment of drain 70 is suitable for arrangement in a flat floor as well as against a wall.
  • flexible layer 76 When mounted in a flat floor, flexible layer 76 is arranged horizontally underneath a tile layer.
  • the tile layer of the wall is placed on inward protruding flange 74 and flexible layer 76 extends behind the tile layer.
  • FIGS 10 and 11 show an embodiment according to the invention.
  • This embodiment 80 also has a bottom surface 81, upright walls 82 and horizontal flanges 83.
  • a flexible layer arrangement 84 is arranged on one of the horizontal flanges 83.
  • a mounting plate 85 is arranged on the free end of the flexible layer. . Owing to the flexible connection by means of layer arrangement 84 the mounting plate 85 can be positioned both horizontally and vertically, as shown respectively in figure 10 and figure 11 .
  • a filler block 86 can be used which is fixed to mounting plate 85 via a bolt 87 and supports against side wall 82 and bottom surface 81.
  • a sound reduction also takes place in this construction due to the flexible transition between horizontal flange 83 and mounting plate 85.
  • FIGS 12A-12C show an embodiment of the method according to the invention. According to this method, a roll 90 of flexible cloth is provided. This roll 90 is partially unrolled so that a flexible layer 91 of the flexible cloth is provided on a flat substrate.
  • Flexible layer 91 is provided with a central adhesive layer zone 101 which is protected on the roll by a foil (not shown).
  • a foil (not shown).
  • zones 102 which are provided with a web layer for good adhesion to for instance a cement layer.
  • a shower drain 92 is placed with horizontal flanges 93 on the adhesive layer of flexible layer 91.
  • a narrower roll 94 is then provided.
  • a strip of flexible material 95 is unrolled from this narrower roll 94.
  • This strip of flexible material 95 is also provided with an adhesive layer.
  • This strip 95 is cut to a suitable length and pieces 96, 97, 98, 99 are then adhered to flexible layer 91 overlapping with flanges 93 of shower tray 92, whereby a structure of Y-shaped cross-section is obtained.
  • FIGS 13A-13C show a method not according to the invention. This method is particularly suitable for a shower drain 110, wherein flanges 111 are arranged at a distance from the edges of side walls 112.
  • the sheet of flexible cloth 113 is adhered with the adhesive layer to the upper edge of side walls 112.
  • the central part is then cut out of flexible cloth 113 in longitudinal direction from the centre using a knife 114.
  • the sheet of flexible cloth 113 can hereby sink downward onto horizontal flanges 111 (see figure 13B ) .
  • strips 115, 116 cut to size are adhered overlapping with flanges 111 to the sheet of flexible cloth 113 so that a Y-shaped structure is formed around flanges 111.
