Description

The present invention relates to a shower channel cover, as it is used for shower channels of shower rooms or wet rooms with a sloping floor.

Such shower channels are usually laid on an edge of the shower room floor in the longitudinal direction adjacent to a connecting wall or, for example, also over the corner adjacent to two or three connecting walls. Here, a shower room floor is usually realized with a continuous slope, which is inclined to the shower channel. In particular, in large shower rooms shower channels but also, for example, be provided approximately centrally in the shower room, with a first slope and a second, opposite to the first inclined slope.

Shower channels, which are positioned on the long side, parallel to one, two or three sides of the wall, are currently the most common form of barrier-free shower zones. The gutter installation is either installed in prefabricated shower trays or by installation aids such as gutter base or wall holder, if the shower floor precipitation structure is realized directly on site. Virtually all built-in systems combine the prerequisite that they must be installed as a leveling aid or for the purpose of adaptation or alignment with the underlay still at the construction stage.

At a time of still raw walls and floors, however, the final dimension between finished wall tile covering or floor covering and the not changeable after installation channel axis is not yet known. But only well-defined distances (joints) between the finished coverings and gutter cover ensure the water drainage rates required by the given building standards. On the other hand, the ever-increasing demands on aesthetics and building culture require exactly running, ie aesthetic, joint pictures. In most cases, the planned dimensions do not agree with the board qualities and their thicknesses selected in the final construction phase, so that unsightly or not dimensionally accurate joint designs must be accepted as so-called construction tolerance and as a barrier to sufficient water drainage for fixed gutter covers.

Both for the arrangement of such a shower channel adjacent to a connection wall, as well as for example, approximately centrally disposed in the shower room arrangement, it is necessary in favor of a tight and secure fit of the shower channel that it has on both sides sufficiently large bearing surfaces in the longitudinal direction, the usual cast-on shower base or underlay base, can be glued, glued, mounted or simply adjusted. These bearing surfaces are then usually tiled or covered with floor plates.

Now, if the shower channel in the longitudinal direction, for example, to be placed adjacent to a connection wall, so gives the minimum width of the wall-side support surface a distance of the actual shower channel body toward the connection wall. This clearance distance, in turn, may be reduced by the thickness of the tiles or panels attached to the vertical connection wall, and is thus variable depending on the installation situation.

If now an always equal, virtually standardized shower channel cover is supplied with the shower channel, which corresponds to the width of the shower channel body, so uneconomically many operations are required depending on the specific installation situation for the installation of the shower channel. In a first operation, the shower channel with its shower channel body and its bearing surfaces must be set and connected to the siphon. Here, the wall-side support surface is usually flush with the Connect connection wall. If a so-called shower floor is used for the creation of the shower room floor, tiles or plates can be laid on the connection wall and on the shower floor and on the wall-side support surface opposite, room-side support surface after curing. The tiles have, depending on the customer, a variable thickness D.

The fact that the shower channel for a secure, tight fit needs a wall-side support surface with a certain minimum width B, remains between the shower channel cover and the busy connecting wall a distance A left, which corresponds approximately to B minus D and is also variable. In order to equalize this distance A or to fill this distance A at the height level of the floor tiles or slabs, the tile or slab tile has to cut a matching tile or slat strip (so-called belt) after the tiles have been flattened or flattened and insert in the distance A and glue. This is uneconomical and also guarantees no optimal safe, long-tight fit of this belt.

The object of the present invention is to provide a variable, ie adjustable in width and height shower channel cover for a shower channel, which is not only more economical, but also permanently stable and further adjusting to the required water discharge amounts supported document EP 2 216 449 A1 discloses a shower channel cover system according to the preamble of claim 1.

The solution of the problem is initially in the conceptual composition and technical realization of a shower channel cover, which comprises at least two cover plate elements, wherein a first cover plate element as known in or on the shower channel body can be used and a second, corresponding cover plate element on the first Cover plate element is adjustably arranged.

At least once before installing the shower channel, the second cover plate element is adjustable on the first cover plate element, provided that after setting a permanent connection such. Welding or gluing the two cover plate elements together. But it is also a maintenance of adjustability possible by the second cover plate element remains merely placed on the first cover plate element is inserted into guides and / or connected to a detachable screw connection.

The first cover plate element is C-shaped in cross-section and as for the first time in a German utility model application DE 202010002011 U Described by the same applicant, preferably placed on height-adjustable, bridge-like insert parts, with a curvature or inner recess down. The top of the first cover plate element is formed at least partially planar. In accordance with a simple basic version of a shower tray cover according to the invention, the second cover plate element can be placed onto this planar surface by means of a corresponding planar lower surface and displaced or displaced.

But even if no height-adjustable, bridge-like insert parts are provided, a height adjustment and thus possible flush adaptation to the height level of the floor tiles or plates preferably results from the fact that the first cover plate element is provided in a standard thickness and for the second cover plate element optionally different material thicknesses are provided and are equally applicable.

The second cover plate element is in its simplest form a flat plate, but can also in Cross section L- or also C-shaped. No matter how the second cover plate element is ultimately configured, however, it has the above-mentioned planar lower surface, which can be arranged on the flat surface of the first cover plate element and thus results in the displacement or adjustability of the shower channel cover, in the following simply still called adjustment.

The adjustment can therefore only two - preferably smooth - surfaces include, get by because of the surface adhesion without further attachment. An optional possible attachment of the two cover plate elements to each other can be formed by means of positive elements. For this purpose, positively shaped pins or bolts are used, which are used in negatively shaped guide grooves or slots, but also positively shaped pins or bolts, which in negative-shaped recesses, e.g. in the form of a row of holes, are used and thus give several fixed adjustment positions.

The adjustments may optionally include securing clips or screws to fix the second cover plate element in the desired position.

However, the adjustability can also be limited only once to the installation or the production of the shower channel cover. Once positioned and used, the cover panels can also be permanently welded together or permanently bonded together. But it is also possible if the plate thickness D of the wall tiles or panels is already known in advance, adjust the shower tray cover according to the manufacturer and fixed welded or fixed glued to deliver.

In cases where the second cover plate element not only a flat plate, but in cross-section L- or C-shaped, the short leg of the Ls or the inner recess of the Cs may also be oriented upward. It is advisable to use in this case a tile or plate belt or glue, or even a stone, metal, glass or plastic strip.

In a further embodiment variant of a shower channel cover according to the invention, a short leg or a turn or a foot or a height-adjustable foot may be arranged on the upper, second cover plate element alone or in addition, which is oriented downwards and serves to the part of the second cover plates Element on the wall-side support surface of the shower channel, which projects beyond the first cover plate element so that the distance to the connection wall is bridged according to the invention.

The cover plate elements are preferably made of metal, preferably of stainless steel, but in principle other water-resistant materials are also suitable, such as e.g. Stone, glass, plastic.

At least the second, upper cover plate element, but optionally also the first, lower, preferably have drain holes and / or slots, through which the shower water can flow. Regardless of such drainage holes and / or slots may be provided in a shower channel cover according to the invention that due to the dimensioning of the cover plate elements, but also by the corresponding adjustment of the shower water (also) on both sides or on only one longitudinal side and / or at one or both end faces of the cover plate elements can drain into the shower channel by a respective discharge gap is left free or not.

An inventive shower tray cover which can be adjusted at least during installation can, as already described, a first and a second adjustable cover plate element include, but for example, a total of three or more. It is sufficient that only the uppermost cover plate element is adjustable, but an adjustment between all contact surfaces is just as possible.

Inventive cover plate elements are preferably removable when cleaning the shower channel, for example, by a cleaner uses a key or a hook in the drainage holes and / or slots or in a specially provided for this key receptacle or opening.

The Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment variant or the components of a shower channel cover according to the invention 100 schematically and in a sectional view. The shower channel cover 100 comprises a first cover plate element 1, which is designed in cross-section C-shaped and is placed with a bottom 44 on an example round support plate 2 a leveling screw 3. The leveling screw 3 is inserted with an external thread 4 in a threaded socket 5 of a bridge-like insert part 6, which in turn is placed on preferably symmetrically arranged oblique support shoulders 7a and 7b of a shower channel 8.

At the lower end of the external thread 4 of the leveling screw 3, a screen basket 9 is screwed.

The shower channel 8 is cast or inserted into a shower tray 11 with a left support surface 10a and a right support surface 10b, wherein the left, adjacent to a connection wall 12 supporting surface 10a of a glued with tile adhesive 13a to the connection wall 12 wall tile or plate 14a or a silicone joint 15 is partially overlapped.

The right support surface 10b is almost completely covered with tile adhesive 13b and a floor tile or plate 14b.

The bridging of a gap Zr is effected by a first cover plate element 1 projecting bridging region 16 of a second, in the concrete case in cross-section plan cover element 17, which with a flat bottom surface 18 on a flat surface 19 of the Cross-section C-shaped first cover plate element 1 in a transverse direction 20 is displaceable, which in turn is approximately perpendicular to an indicated longitudinal alignment 21 of the shower channel 8. The displaceability of the planar lower surface 18 of the second cover plate element 17 on the planar surface 19 of the first cover plate element 1 represents an adjustment 200 of the shower channel cover 100.

Of course, it would also be possible to arrange an asymmetrical shower channel 8, which leaves no appreciable gap Zr. In this case, it remains essential to the invention that depending on a thickness D of the wall tile or panel 14a variable distance A is bridged or filled with the bridging region 16 so that the laying of a tile or belt in this area between the shower channel 8 and Wall tile or plate 14a according to the invention is omitted.

It is optional, but advantageous if the flat bottom surface 18 of the second cover plate element 17 in plan and the flat surface 19 of the first cover plate element 1 are not only flat, but smooth-ground and / or surface-treated , This improves the surface adhesion while maintaining the displaceability in the transverse direction 20 and the pressure that can be applied to a wall-side end 22 of the bridging portion 16 without levering the second cover plate member 17.

The displaceability is guaranteed once at least during assembly, when the second cover plate element 17 is glued or welded to the first cover plate element 1, but the displaceability can also be maintained by the second cover plate element 17 on the first Abdeckplatten- Element 1 simply loosely placed remains.

Taking into account the width of the wall-side support surface 10a, the shower channel 8 can be placed so close to the connection wall 12 that a minimum width B remains between a conventional, individual cover plate or the first cover plate element 1 and the connection wall. Depending on the thickness D selected by the customer of the wall tile or panel 13a thus remains the variable distance A left, which according to the invention no longer needs to be tiled with a tile or plate belt, but by the bridging region 16 of the second cover plate element 17 an upper edge height H of the floor tile or plate 14b is bridged.

In the final assembled state, the second cover plate member 17 is arranged so that it lies flush with the upper edge height H of the floor tile or plate 14b, that is, with its material thickness a height distance H ₀ is between the plane surface 19 of the first cover element. 1 In addition, remain to the wall tile or plate 14a and to the floor tile or plate 14b each have a drain gap 45a and 45b open, can flow through the respective shower water W ₁ and W ₂ on the sides. Moreover, in the cover plate elements 1 and 17 slots and / or holes may be arranged, as will be seen in the following figures, which are not pure sectional views.

In the Fig. 2 a second embodiment variant of a shower channel cover according to the invention 100a is shown schematically and in a sectional view. It is, also with the same reference numerals, the same shower floor-connecting wall-shower channel leveling screw arrangement as in the Fig. 1 shown, but it is expressly made for the following figures that it is arbitrary.
