Definitions

  • the subject matter of the present invention relates to a new shower tray.
  • the shower tray includes a novel conduit, making it possible to give the entire shower tray a totally leveled surface in the draining area, so as to give the effect of a horizontal surface, and to place a strainer at the level of the flooring.
  • Said conduit is produced using a mold and a method for installing the shower tray, resulting in a shower tray which is totally even in appearance.
  • the state of the art has not yielded a built-in shower tray or installation method thereof enabling the placement of a strainer, covered with the same material as the shower tray itself or not, such that it is leveled with the flooring, regardless of its thickness. Said installation provides an even appearance across the whole uncovered face of the shower tray.
  • Document EP_2333173-A1 describes a method for mounting a gully in a floor configured for a floor covering and a device for providing, at this method, a recess in the floor for an inlet member of the gully are referred to.
  • an outlet member of the gully is mounted in the floor for connection of the outlet member to a discharge system
  • a recess for an inlet member of the gully is defined in the floor in connection to the outlet member of the gully
  • a sealing layer is located on top of the floor and the recess therein and connected to the outlet member of the gully
  • the inlet member of the gully is located on top of the sealing layer in the recess in the floor with flow connection to the outlet member of the gully
  • a floor covering is provided on the floor and around the inlet member of the gully in close connection thereto.
  • the device comprises a spacer piece which can be located on a lower part of the floor in connection to an outlet member of the gully which is mounted in said lower part of the floor, which is configured to define a recess by, after location of said spacer piece on said lower part of the floor, providing an upper part of the floor around the spacer piece, and which is configured, after the provision of said upper part of the floor, to allow removal of the spacer piece for exposure of said recess.
  • a drain comprising a collecting container for collecting water with an outflow on the underside and a connecting part for connecting the outflow to an outlet pipe.
  • the connecting part and the outflow are linked by a flexible collar with the configuration of a funnel, so that the big opening on one end of the flexible collar is fixed to the opening on the upper side of the connecting part and the small opening on the other end of the flexible collar leans against the outflow.
  • This configuration provides a unidirectional passage for admitting water from outside inward into the connecting part.
  • the invention has developed a built-in shower tray comprising at least one trap body with at least one main draining point coupled to a draining body, which trap body is embedded in mortar.
  • the invention is characterized by the fact that it comprises a conduit formed by mortar ramps arranged on top of the mortar, and which surround the draining body, in such a way as to make the entire shower tray even.
  • the conduit has a shape selected among rectangular, quadrangular and circular, and is provided with a circular central hole arranged in correspondence with the mouth of the main draining point of the trap body, into which the outlet tube of the draining body is inserted.
  • the shower tray further comprises a water-proof sheet placed on the surface of enabling the secondary draining.
  • the mold for installing the above described shower tray uses a central piece with a hole for inserting a protective cover arranged at the main draining point, as it will be described further on.
  • the central piece may take different shapes depending on the conduit to be performed; for example it may be rectangular, quadrangular, circular, or have a quadrangular-base profile with rounded edges, comprising a cylindrical central section aligned with the main draining point, and which continues in a staggered cross-section in the shape of an inverted pyramid providing different mortar screed level marks, based on the thickness of the flooring to be used.
  • the central piece comprises rectangular side wings which comprise perforated lines, in such a way that the side wings may be trimmed down to the size required by the draining body.
  • the thickness of said mold provides the level to which the mortar should be flush.
  • the central piece may be detachable from said rectangular side wings of the mold, for instance by means of perforated lines.
  • the method for installing the above described shower tray comprises a stage of calculating the height or depth necessary for placing the shower tray, a stage of installing the trap body, on the mouth of which a protective cover is arranged such that it is centered around the main draining point, and a stage in which the mortar is made flush up to the upper section of the trap body, with the protective cover protruding.
  • the method comprises a stage in which a mold as above described is placed, fitting it to the size of a draining body. Subsequently, mortar is again poured until forming mortar ramps, which are made flush with the top surface of the mold.
  • a water-proof sheet is placed on the surface of the mortar ramps and over this conduit.
  • a draining body is installed so that it is centered in the main draining point, and a strainer support piece is arranged on the draining body.
  • a strainer cover can be affixed on the surface of the strainer piece and a flooring affixed upon the water-proof sheet, such that it is flush with the strainer cover.
  • Spacers may be arranged at the sides of the strainer cover and the installed flooring that is flush with the strainer cover, such that upon subsequent removal of the spacers, draining slots are formed between the strainer cover and the flooring.
  • a connector provided in the water-proof sheet is used, which is held in the mouth of the trap body, and the draining body fitting inside of it.
  • the shower tray that is the subject matter of the invention is represented, along with the method for installing said shower tray, and the mold employed thereof.
  • FIG. 2 represents a shower tray (21) which has the special feature that, the main draining point (5) is placed in the central section of said shower tray (21).
  • a conduit (22) is included in the draining area of said shower tray (21), which helps to convey the water from the shower to the main draining point (5).
  • Placing this novel conduit (22) makes it possible to give the entire shower tray (21) a totally levelled surface in the draining area, so as to give the effect of a horizontal surface, with a very slight slope, so that the surface of the strainer of the shower tray (21) may be made of the same material as the shower (21) tray itself. This entails homogeneity across the entire horizontal plane of the shower tray (21) without a single piece, frame, or other element which might not be aesthetical, left visible.
  • Figures 1a-1h show the method for installing the shower tray (21).
  • Figure 1 shows the placement of the trap body (1) at the main draining point (5).
  • the shower area Prior to installing the shower tray (21, the shower area must be prepared. It is necessary to know in advance the height or depth required in order to arrange the stipulated slope of at least 1.5 % from the edges of the shower tray (21) to the main draining point (5), so as to make it possible for the water to circulate toward said main drainage point (5).
  • a height or depth of at least 94 mm is required, plus the thickness of the flooring (15) and its adhesive at said main draining point (5).
  • FIG 1 the placement of a trap body (1) is depicted, the mouth of which should be centered around the main draining point (5); the trap outlet (2) thereof should be duly oriented toward a draining tube (3).
  • the draining tube (3) should have a stipulated slope of at least 1.5 % towards the wastewater system.
  • the mouth of the trap body (1) is covered with a hollow cylindrical body which fulfills the function of a protective cover (16) to keep materials from entering the trap body (1) during installation.
  • the trap outlet (2) and the draining tube (3) are connected by means of a sliding sleeve (4).
  • Lubricants such as soapy water are used to help insert the draining tube (3) into the sliding sleeve (4).
  • the sliding sleeve (4) slides to the end of the draining tube (3), the draining tube (3) is matched up with the trap outlet (2) and the sliding sleeve (4) is slid backwards as far as it will go.
  • FIG 1b the placement of mortar (6) is depicted until it is flush with the top portion of the trap body (1), which becomes embedded in the mortar (6).
  • a mold (7) is placed, as depicted in figure 1c , which should adjust to the size of a draining body (11) that will be placed subsequently, as depicted in figure 1 e.
  • Said mold (7) should duly fit around the protective cover (16).
  • the mold (7) comprises a central piece (19) with a circular hole into which the protective cover is inserted, and which comprises two rectangular side wings (23), as seen in figure 2 .
  • Each side wing (23) of said mold (7) may be trimmed down in order to adapt them to the size of the drain body (11), based on the placement of the main drainage point (5), since in other embodiments of the invention said main draining point (5) may be placed anywhere in the shower tray (21).
  • the side wings (23) comprise perforated lines (24) for the purpose of being trimmed down, which are situated at different distances from the central piece (19), as desired.
  • the side wings (23) may be detachable from the central piece (19), for example by means of perforated lines as well, so as to form just a drain body with the shape of the central piece (19) when necessary, depending on the intended shower tray, as is explained further on.
  • a water-proof sheet (13) is coupled by means of a connector (12), which comes attached to the water-proof sheet itself (13), as may be seen in figure 1e .
  • the water-proof sheet (13) is unfolded, and the connector (12) is pressed into the mouth of the trap body (1) and held there. This insertion takes place through the hole that was left once the protective cover (16) was removed.
  • the water-proof sheet (13) is affixed, preferably with an adhesive that is a C2 type cement glue, over the surface of the mortar ramps (8), and over the surface of the conduit (22).
  • the drain body (11) is placed in the conduit (22) such that its side walls (10) fit loosely into the side walls of the conduit (22), in such a way that the outlet tube of said conduit (22) is inserted and held inside the connector (12) by means of fastening elements (28), as is shown in the detail in figure 4 , with the help of lubricant, which may be something like soapy water, so that the outlet tube of the drain body (11) remains thus inserted into the main draining point (5).
  • bedding mortar (9) is applied to each side, in order to bed the drain body (11), until it is flush with the height of the water-proof sheet (13).
  • strainer cover (14) and a flooring (15) are placed.
  • a strainer support piece (18) there is a strainer support piece (18), and the strainer cover (14) is cut beforehand from the same material as the flooring (15), with the right size to cover the strainer support piece (18).
  • the preferred design of the strainer cover (14) has a size of 2 mm in width, plus the width of the strainer support piece (18), and a length equal to that of the draining body (11).
  • the strainer support (18) is placed on the drain body (11), and the cover piece (14) is arranged thereupon, not being affixed, and spacers (17) are inserted in order to form draining slots (20), thus setting their width.
  • the flooring (15) is then installed, as seen in figure 1g .
  • the flooring (15) is affixed into place on the water-proof sheet (13) with an adhesive that is preferably a C2 type cement glue.
  • the strainer is then covered. To do so, adhesive is applied over the top layer of the strainer support piece (18), which is a rough layer, and the strainer cover (14) is affixed, being centered with the help of the spacers (17), and being careful to make it flush with the flooring.
  • the same adhesive used with the flooring (15) is used, in order to obtain a layer with the same thickness.
  • the central piece (19) of the mold (7) constitutes the mold itself (7), i.e. it does not have side wings (23), and it has a quadrangular shape with rounded edges, comprising a central hole aligned with the main drainage point (5).
  • the central piece (19) that constitutes the mold (7) has a rectangular shape with rounded edges, likewise comprising a central hole aligned with the main draining point (5).
  • the central piece (19) of the mold (7) is shaped exactly the same as the draining body (11), and has a quadrangular shape with rounded edges, comprising a cylindrical central section aligned with the main draining point, and has a staggered cross-section profile in the shape of an upside-down pyramid providing different mortar screed level marks, based on the thickness of the flooring to be used.
  • the molds (7) may be placed in different areas in the shower tray (21), depending on the dimensions of said main drainage point (5) and the best area for placing the main draining point (5).
  • the molds (7) are placed so that they are centered in the shower tray (21), with the center of the shower tray (21) occupying the main draining point (5).
  • the shower tray (21) shall have 4 sloping sides if the mold (7) has a quadrangular or rectangular shape.
