Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for installation in a wall, such as a plasterboard wall or a breeze block wall.
  • the pre-wall is usually constructed from a metal frame which is covered with panels, particularly plasterboard panels.
  • a watertight membrane is preferably then arranged over the plasterboard panels, after which a finishing layer such as a tile layer is arranged.
  • the watertight layer prevents the underlying panels being damaged and the strength of the pre-wall being affected.
  • the watertight layer has to be interrupted because an opening is made in the pre-wall in which the alcove or built-in cabinet is arranged.
  • the alcove or built-in cabinet will have to be covered with a sealing layer, although this will have an adverse effect on the appearance of the alcove.
  • Different parts will in addition have to be assembled from a membrane in order to form a watertight layer for the alcove.
  • the shell of the device can be arranged in a recessed part in a pre-wall.
  • the flange of the shell overlaps with the pre-wall here and provides the option of fixing the shell to the pre-wall.
  • the layer When a watertight layer is then arranged on the pre-wall the layer can be arranged over the panels and overlapping with the flange of the shell.
  • the edge of the watertight layer can be adhered here to the flange of the shell by means of for instance a glue or a mastic.
  • the pre-wall is finished with for instance a tile layer and, finally, the element can be nested in the shell of the device.
  • Nesting is understood to mean that the element has substantially the same size as the shell, whereby the element can be placed in the shell and wherein for instance the walls of the element fit against the walls of the shell.
  • the shell is manufactured from plastic.
  • the shell is preferably deep-drawn.
  • plastic is usually watertight. A plastic can moreover be easily deformed by heat and pressed into a desired shape, as takes place in deep-drawing.
  • the nesting element comprises an adjustable stop for adjusting the nesting depth of the element in the shell.
  • the stop ensures that, after the shell has been arranged in the wall, it is possible to choose how far into the wall the nesting element is placed.
  • the nesting part can thus protrude.
  • a frame can be arranged here around the protruding part of the nesting part. The frame can for instance conceal the adjustable stop from view.
  • the frame can further be provided on the inner edge with a flexible edge. After watertight placing of the shell and tiling of the wall the frame with flexible edge can be arranged around the recessed part. The nesting element is then slid into the frame, wherein the flexible edge comes to lie against the outer wall of the nesting element and thus provides for a seal between the nesting element and the surrounding wall.
  • the nesting element is alcove-like.
  • the alcove-like element can be made from any desired material.
  • the material used for the element can thus be optimally adapted to the aesthetic design.
  • the shell can in addition be given a more functional form since it is concealed from view by the nesting element. It is thus possible for instance to make a connection for electrics in the shell which complies with the desired requirements of for instance watertightness. Lighting which connects to the electrical fitting in the shell can then be provided in the nesting element.
  • an outflow in the shell which can for instance be used for ventilation or extraction.
  • the nesting element here also conceals this outflow from view.
  • a gap can then for instance be provided between the nesting element and the shell, whereby the outflow is connected to the space via the gap.
  • the bottom (in use) of the alcove-like element is preferably inclining so that water which falls onto the bottom of the alcove-like element flows of its own accord out of the alcove.
  • the adjustable stop can also be configured such that the alcove-like element can be tilted to some extent inside the shell, whereby the bottom likewise inclines.
  • the nesting element is a shelf.
  • the shell provides for a watertight gap in the wall into which the shelf can be inserted and herein protrudes partially from the wall, so that the shelf can be used to place objects thereon.
  • the nesting element is an electrical appliance such as a loudspeaker or a fan.
  • a cable bushing which is more preferably also watertight. Electric wires can for instance be carried therethrough into the shell in order to drive for instance a fan.
  • a discharge opening with which the air drawn in by the fan can be discharged can also be provided in the shell.
  • connection of an outlet tube can be made reliable and watertight by using the shell.
  • a watertight connection of the shell to the surrounding wall is guaranteed, whereby undesired leakage cannot occur.
  • the shell further provides the option of modifying the typically cylindrical shape of a fan so that at least the access opening of the shell has a different shape. For instance a rectangular or square shape. It is also possible to connect to the shell a frame along which air can be drawn in.
  • the frame can for instance be an elongate profile, such as a tube, with an opening or openings extending in longitudinal direction.
  • Yet another embodiment of the device comprises a sealing membrane arranged on the flange.
  • the advantage of arranging the sealing membrane on the flange is that this can already be done in the factory, whereby the reliability of the connection can be better monitored.
  • the shell with the recess is formed from a sealing membrane.
  • a suitable treatment sealing membrane can be provided with a recess, whereby it can also function as shell.
  • the shell formed from membrane can be integrated here with the sealing membrane on the flange.
  • the invention further relates to a combination of a pre-wall and a device according to the invention, wherein the pre-wall comprises an opening in which the recess of the shell is arranged and wherein the flange of the shell lies against the edge of the opening.
  • the pre-wall is covered with a layer, for instance a tile layer, wherein the layer extends over the flange of the shell up to the edge of the recess.
  • the device comprises a cover element placed in the shell for the purpose of at least partially covering the access opening of the shell, wherein the surface of the cover element lies flush with the surface of the layer.
  • the cover element preferably comprises adjusting means for adjusting the height of the surface of the cover element relative to the surface of the layer.
  • An element placed in the shell is hidden from view using the cover element, while access can still be gained to the element by removing the cover element.
  • a fan in the shell and to partially cover this fan with a finishing layer such as a tile layer.
  • the opening which is formed serves in the case of a fan as suction opening for the fan.
  • a lamp or a loudspeaker for instance can on the other hand be provided as electrical element.
  • the opening formed in the layer then serves to transmit the light or the sound.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view with cut-away parts of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • the device has a shell 1 with a recess 2 and a flange 3 arranged around the recess. This shell 1 is arranged between two uprights 4 of a pre-wall.
  • the device further has an element 5 which in this embodiment takes the form of an alcove with a decorative edge 6. This element 5 is placed in shell 1 following completion of the pre-wall.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the device according to figure 1 , wherein the pre-wall is completed.
  • Panels 7, such as plasterboard panels, have been arranged for this purpose over uprights 4.
  • Shell 1 with flange 3 is then attached to plasterboard panels 7 and uprights 4.
  • a sealing membrane 8 is then arranged over panels 7 and flange 3. This membrane 8 can optionally be attached to shell 1 in the factory.
  • shell 1 can be made of for instance a plastic and sealing membrane 8 connects thereto, the whole pre-wall remains watertight despite the recessed part in the pre-wall.
