Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kompakt bauende Duschablage.The invention relates to a compact shower shelf.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ablage mit einer Grundfläche zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen, wobei die Ablage an mindestens zwei ihrer Außenseiten in einer zwischen Wandfliesen verlaufenden Querfuge oder einer Nut fixierbar ist.The invention relates to a shelf with a base for accommodating objects, wherein the shelf can be fixed on at least two of its outer sides in a transverse joint or a groove running between wall tiles.

Derartige Ablagen eignen sich besonders gut zur Installation in Badezimmern, vor allem in Duschkabinen, Nasszellen oder oberhalb von Badewannen in Reichweite des jeweiligen Nutzers. Sie dienen dort zur Aufnahme von typischen Gegenständen und Mitteln, wie man sie beim Duschen oder Baden benötigt, z. B. Flaschen mit Duschgel oder Shampoo, Seifen, Rasierern, Bürsten etc. Da die Ablagen üblicherweise eine drei- oder viereckige Form aufweisen und sich damit speziell in Ecken gut installieren lassen, nehmen sie relativ wenig Platz in Anspruch. In einer klassischen Variante werden solche Ablagen mittels Befestigungsmitteln wie Schrauben und Dübeln in der Wand befestigt, zweckmäßigerweise in der Fuge zwischen Wandfliesen. Deren Installation ist einerseits kompliziert, weil es zur Zerstörung von Fliesen oder Fugen oder zu einer Zerstörung der Abdichtung in der Naßzelle kommen kann und weil andererseits die spätere Demontage hässliche Verschmutzungen und Löcher in der Wand, respektive den Fliesen oder den Fugen zurücklässt. Aus der DE 20 2014 000 851 ist eine gattungsgemäße Ablage bekannt, die ein rechtwinkliges Dreieck aufweisen soll, das durch Verfügung in die Lagerfuge der Fliese eingelegt wird.Such shelves are particularly well suited for installation in bathrooms, especially in shower stalls, wet rooms or above bathtubs within reach of the respective user. They are used there to hold typical objects and means that are needed when showering or bathing, e.g. B. Bottles with shower gel or shampoo, soaps, razors, brushes, etc. Since the shelves usually have a triangular or square shape and can therefore be easily installed in corners, they take up relatively little space. In a classic variant, such shelves are attached to the wall by means of fasteners such as screws and dowels, expediently in the joint between wall tiles. On the one hand, their installation is complicated because the tiles or joints or the sealing in the wet room can be destroyed and, on the other hand, later dismantling leaves ugly dirt and holes in the wall, tiles or joints. From the DE 20 2014 000 851 is a generic filing is known, which is said to have a right triangle, which is inserted by disposal in the horizontal joint of the tile.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik stellt sich der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Ablage mit einer Grundfläche zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen zur Verwendung in einem Badezimmer zu schaffen, die einen maximalen Platz zur standsicheren Aufnahme üblicherweise während des Duschens oder Badens benutzter Gegenstände wie Flaschen mit Duschgel oder Shampoo etc. bietet und die darüber hinaus leicht montierbar und praktisch ohne den Verbleib von Rückständen auch wieder demontierbar ist.Based on this prior art, the object of the present invention is to create a shelf with a base for holding objects for use in a bathroom, which has maximum space for stable holding of objects usually used while showering or bathing, such as bottles with shower gel or shampoo etc. and which is also easy to assemble and can be dismantled again with practically no residue left behind.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die technischen Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the technical features of patent claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ablage zur Aufnahme von üblicherweise in einem Badezimmer verwendeten Gegenständen wird mit mindestens zwei ihrer Außenseiten in einer zwischen Wandfliesen verlaufenden Querfuge oder einer Nut fixiert. EsThe shelf according to the invention for accommodating objects usually used in a bathroom is fixed with at least two of its outer sides in a transverse joint or a groove running between wall tiles. It

ist vorgesehen, dass die Ablage ausschließlich, also ohne sonstige Befestigungsmittel, in einer zwischen Wandfliesen verlaufenden Querfuge oder einer Nut verankert ist, d. h. heißt sie kann bei der Anbringung der Fliesen gleich in die jeweiligen Querfugen oder Nuten eingesetzt werden und fixiert sich dann mit der Aushärtung des Fugenmaterials dauerhaft selbst. Der damit verbundene Installationsaufwand ist minimal, insbesondere bedarf es keiner externen Befestigungsmittel wie Dübel, Schrauben etc., so dass die erfindungsgemäße Ablage darüber hinaus auch optisch leicht und gefällig wirkt und sich quasi spurenlos auch wieder demontieren lässt.it is intended that the shelf is anchored exclusively, i.e. without any other fastening means, in a transverse joint or groove running between wall tiles, d. H. This means it can be inserted straight into the respective transverse joints or grooves when the tiles are being attached and then permanently fixes itself once the joint material has hardened that the shelf according to the invention also looks light and pleasing and can also be dismantled again without leaving a trace.

Eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Ablage sieht vor, dass diese eine dreieckige Grundform aufweist. Ebenso ist dank der vorteilhaften Fixierung praktisch jegliche Formgebung denkbar, darunter eine quadratische, rechteckige, trapezförmige, polygonartige, halbrunde oder ellipsenförmige. In dem Fall einer dreieckigen Ablage ist diese an zwei ihrer benachbarten Außenseiten in jeweils einer Querfuge oder einer Nut fixierbar. In aller Regel wird eine solche Ablage mit zwei ihrer benachbarten Außenseiten in einer Ecke des Raumes, der Nasszelle oder der Duschkabine fixiert, wo zwei Wände rechtwinklig aneinander stoßen.An embodiment of the shelf according to the invention provides that it has a triangular basic shape. Likewise, thanks to the advantageous fixation, practically any shape is conceivable, including a square, rectangular, trapezoidal, polygonal, semicircular or elliptical shape. In the case of a triangular shelf, this can be fixed on two of its adjacent outer sides in a respective transverse joint or groove. As a rule, such a shelf is fixed with two of its adjacent outer sides in a corner of the room, the wet room or the shower cubicle, where two walls meet at right angles.

Neben der dreieckigen Grundform der erfindungsgemäßen Ablage kommt auch eine vier- oder anders polygonartig zugeschnittene Ablage in Betracht. Empfohlen wird u. a., dass die Ablage an mindestens zwei aneinander gegenüber liegenden Außenseiten in jeweils einer Querfuge fixierbar bzw. verankerbar ist. Gedacht ist etwa an eine trapezförmige Ausbildung der Ablage mit entsprechender Positionierung ggf. in Zusammenwirken mit einer kleineren dreieckigen für den sich ansonsten ergebenden Zwischenraum im Eckbereich von Duschkabine etc.In addition to the basic triangular shape of the shelf according to the invention, a shelf cut into four or other polygonal shapes is also possible. Among other things, it is recommended that the shelf can be fixed or anchored on at least two opposite outer sides in a transverse joint. For example, a trapezoidal design of the shelf with appropriate positioning, possibly in conjunction with a smaller triangular one for the otherwise resulting space in the corner area of the shower cubicle, etc. is being considered.

Was die Fixierung der Ablage in der Wand bzw. der Fuge oder einer Nut betrifft, ist vorgesehen, dass die Ablage mindestens einen zur Verankerung der Ablage in einer Querfuge oder einer Nut dienenden Auflagerflansch aufweist, welcher sich zweckmäßigerweise im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Ablage und nicht im Wesentlichen in der Ebene der Ablage erstreckt, wobei ggf. eine geringe Neigung Berücksichtigung finden kann, damit das Abfließen des Wassers gewährleistet ist. Bei Anbringung der Fliesen fixieren sich die Auflagerflansche mit der Aushärtung des Fugenmaterials dauerhaft selbst. Damit lässt sich die Ablage präzise und denkbar einfach in der Fuge bzw. der Wand anbringen. Die Auflagerflansche dienen dabei als alleinige Befestigungsmittel. Sie verleihen der Ablage damit außerdem zusätzliche Stabilität.As far as fixing the shelf in the wall or the joint or a groove is concerned, it is provided that the shelf has at least one bearing flange serving to anchor the shelf in a transverse joint or a groove, which is expediently essentially parallel to the shelf and not extends essentially in the plane of the shelf, where necessary a slight inclination can be taken into account, so that the drainage of the water is guaranteed. When the tiles are attached, the support flanges fix themselves permanently as the joint material hardens. This means that the shelf can be attached to the joint or wall precisely and very easily. The support flanges serve as the sole means of attachment. They also give the shelf additional stability.

Dass die Ablage an mindestens einer Außenseite eine Abwinklung aufweist, ist dahingehend sinnvoll, dass die Ablage eine Art Abschluss aufweist, welcher ein Herunterrutschen von auf der Ablage positionierten Gegenständen zusätzlich verhindert.The fact that the shelf has an angled portion on at least one outside makes sense in that the shelf has a type of closure which additionally prevents objects positioned on the shelf from slipping down.

Um das im Eckbereich zwischen den aneinander stoßenden Fugen verlaufende Dichtband nicht zu beschädigen, empfiehlt es sich, die dortige Ecke der Ablage zu entschärfen. Dies geschieht am zweckmäßigsten, indem die Ablage im Bereich des Stoßes der benachbarten Außenseiten eine Entschärfung in Form einer Abrundung oder Abfasung aufweist, so dass die abgefaste Ecke dank dieser Anpassung die Funktion des Dichtungsbandes nicht beeinträchtigen kann.In order not to damage the sealing tape running in the corner area between the abutting joints, it is advisable to soften the corner of the shelf there. This is best done if the shelf has a softening in the form of a rounding or chamfer in the area of the joint of the adjacent outer sides, so that the chamfered corner cannot impair the function of the sealing tape thanks to this adaptation.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Grundfläche mindestens eine Öffnung aufweist, die sich zweckmäßigerweise zentral auf der Grundfläche befindet und etwa das Abließen von Wasser von der Grundfläche nach unten in die Duschtasse, Badewanne etc. ermöglicht, darüber hinaus aber auch optisch die Ablage verschönert und ihr Gewicht verringert.Another preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the base has at least one opening, which is conveniently located centrally on the base and allows water to drain from the base down into the shower tray, bathtub, etc., but also visually embellishes the shelf and reduces its weight.

Eine Variante einer nicht erfindungsgemäße Ablage sieht vor, dass die Ablage mehrere parallel zueinander angeordnete Abschnitte aufweist, die sich baulich bei der Installation etwa im Eckbereich ergänzen. Dies in Form z. B. einer kleinen dreieckigen ersten, kleineren Ablage, an die sich dann ein oder mehrere größere, trapezförmige Ablagen anschließen, die zusammen wieder eine Art Dreieck bilden und den Eckbereich damit perfekt ausfüllen. Die Verklebung erfolgt mit Montagemörtel bzw. Klebstoff und Silikon. Praktikabel ist auch der Einsatz von normalem Fugenmaterial. Anschließend kann noch eine Versiegelung mit dauerelastischem Dichtstoff erfolgen.A variant of a shelf not according to the invention provides that the shelf has several sections arranged parallel to one another, which structurally complement one another during installation, for example in the corner area. This in the form of B. a small, triangular first, smaller shelf, which is then followed by one or more larger, trapezoidal shelves, which together again form a kind of triangle and thus perfectly fill the corner area. Bonding is done with assembly mortar or adhesive and silicone. The use of normal joint material is also practical. It can then be sealed with a permanently elastic sealant.

In diesem Sinne ist der Vorschlag zu verstehen, wonach die Ablage einen ersten Abschnitt aufweist, bei dem zwei rechtwinklig aneinander stoßende Außenseiten in einer Querfuge oder einer Nut fixierbar sind. Die Montage ist selbst bei einer Toleranz hinsichtlich der Rechtwinkligkeit noch möglich.In this sense, the proposal is to be understood, according to which the shelf has a first section, in which two perpendicularly abutting outer sides can be fixed in a transverse joint or a groove. Assembly is still possible even with a tolerance in terms of squareness.

An diese vergleichsweise kleine, dreieckige Ablage schließt sich dann eine weitere an. Für diese ist vorgesehen, dass die Ablage mindestens einen weiteren Abschnitt aufweist, bei dem zwei gegenüber liegende Außenseiten in einer Fuge oder einer Nut fixierbar sind. Gedacht ist dabei eben vor allem an eine trapezförmige Ausbildung der Ablage bzw. des entsprechenden Abschnitts.This comparatively small, triangular shelf is then followed by another. For these, it is provided that the shelf has at least one further section in which two opposite outer sides can be fixed in a joint or a groove. A trapezoidal configuration of the shelf or the corresponding section is primarily intended.

Eine ganz andere Form der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Ablage als Rahmen zur Aufnahme einer als separates Bauteil ausgebildeten, die Grundfläche aufweisenden Platte ausgebildet ist. Bei dieser Variante wird also lediglich eine Art drei- oder viereckiger bzw. ein Rahmen mit jeglicher denkbaren Geometrie in der jeweiligen Fuge fixiert. Anschließend wird dann eine Platte in diesen Rahmen eingesetzt, die somit darüber hinaus leicht z. B. zu Reinigungszwecken demontiert werden kann.A completely different form of the invention provides that the shelf is designed as a frame for receiving a plate that is designed as a separate component and has the base area. In this variant, so only a kind of triangular or square or a frame with any conceivable geometry in the respective joint fixed. Then a plate is used in this frame, which is thus also easy z. B. can be dismantled for cleaning purposes.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass eine Ablage mit einer Grundfläche zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen, wie sie üblicherweise in Duschen und Badewannen Verwendung finden, geschaffen ist, die leicht und ohne externe Befestigungsmittel in einer Wand, genauer gesagt in der Fuge zwischen zwei aneinanderstoßenden Fliesen fixiert werden kann. Hierzu umfasst die erfindungsgemäße Ablage einen oder mehrere Auflagerflansche, die in diese Fugen eingesetzt und dann beim Aushärten der Fugenmasse dort verankert werden. Damit ist eine leichte, platzsparende und einfach auch für Laien zu installierende Ablage für Flaschen mit Duschgel, Shampoo etc. realisiert, die im Bedarfsfall auch einfach wieder demontiert werden kann, ohne dass übermäßige Beschädigungen und Verschmutzungen verbleiben. Die Oberflächen der erfindungsgemäßen Auflagen können beidseitig benutzt werden, z. B. als Edelstahloptik und Fliese. Zudem können die Ablagen individuell nachbearbeitet werden, etwa mit Lasergravuren.The invention is characterized in particular by the fact that a shelf with a base for receiving objects, such as are commonly used in showers and bathtubs, is created that is light and without external fastening means in a wall, more precisely in the joint between two abutting Tiles can be fixed. For this purpose, the shelf according to the invention comprises one or more support flanges that are inserted into these joints and then anchored there when the joint compound hardens. This creates a light, space-saving shelf for bottles with shower gel, shampoo, etc. that is easy to install, even for non-professionals, and that can also be easily dismantled again if necessary without excessive damage or dirt remaining. The surfaces of the pads according to the invention can be used on both sides, e.g. B. as a stainless steel look and tile. In addition, the shelves can be individually reworked, for example with laser engravings.

In Figur 1 ist die Ablage 1 in Form eines Dreiecks dargestellt. An ihren Außenseiten 3 und 4 ist die Ablage 1 in den Querfugen 13, 14 zwischen den Wandfliesen 10 und 11 bzw. 18 und 19 fixiert. Dabei veranschaulicht Figur 1 bereits eindrucksvoll, wie filigran die erfindungsgemäße Ablage 1 baut und wie leicht sie über die hier nicht erkennbaren Flansche in den Fugen 13, 14 verankert werden kann, so dass sich eine maximale Grundfläche 2 ausbildet, die dann zur Aufnahme von Pflegemitteln und -artikeln optimal genutzt werden kann. Erkennbar ist in Figur 1 an der dritten Außenseite 5 der Ablage 1 eine nach unten ausgebildete Abwinklung 16.In figure 1 the shelf 1 is shown in the form of a triangle. On its outer sides 3 and 4, the shelf 1 is fixed in the transverse joints 13, 14 between the wall tiles 10 and 11 or 18 and 19. thereby illustrated figure 1 already impressive how filigree the shelf 1 according to the invention is built and how easily it can be anchored in the joints 13, 14 via the flanges (not visible here), so that a maximum base area 2 is formed, which is then optimally used for accommodating care products and articles can be. Can be seen in figure 1 on the third outer side 5 of the tray 1, a downward bend 16.

Eine Variante zeigt Figur 2 in Form eines umlaufenden Rahmens 28, jeweils an den Seiten 3, 4 und 5, bei dem es sich entweder um in Bezug auf die Grundfläche nach oben abgekantete Abwinklungen handelt oder in den Rahmen 28 ist eine als separates Bauteil ausgebildete Platte 29 einzusetzen, die dann die Grundfläche 2 bildet.A variant shows figure 2 in the form of a peripheral frame 28, each on sides 3, 4 and 5, which is either bent upwards in relation to the base area or a plate 29 designed as a separate component is to be inserted into the frame 28, which then the base 2 forms.

Ein solcher Rahmen 29 ist dann in Figur 3 veranschaulicht, ohne dass eine Grundplatte eingesetzt ist.Such a frame 29 is then in figure 3 illustrated without a base plate inserted.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Ablage 1, die aus drei Abschnitten 25, 26 und 27 besteht bzw. zusammengesetzt ist. D. h. ein erster kleiner, dreieckförmiger Abschnitt 25 befindet sich unmittelbar im Eckbereich 30. Dieser Abschnitt 25 ist an den beiden Außenseiten 3 und 4 des Abschnitts 25 in den Fugen 13, 14 fixiert. An diesen ersten Abschnitt 25 schließt sich ein weiterer Abschnitt 26 mit einer trapezförmigen Grundform an, dessen Außenseiten 6, 8 in den Fugen 13, 14 fixiert sind. Schließlich ist ein dritter Abschnitt 27 ausgebildet, ebenfalls in Trapezform und verankert an den Außen- bzw. Stirnseiten 7 und 9. figure 4 shows a shelf 1, which consists of three sections 25, 26 and 27 or is composed. i.e. a first small, triangular section 25 is located directly in the corner area 30. This section 25 is fixed to the two outer sides 3 and 4 of section 25 in the joints 13, 14. This first section 25 is followed by a further section 26 with a trapezoidal basic shape, the outer sides 6 , 8 of which are fixed in the joints 13 , 14 . Finally, a third section 27 is formed, also in the shape of a trapezoid and anchored to the outer or end faces 7 and 9.

In Draufsicht zeigt nun Figur 5 eine Ablage 1 in Form eines Dreiecks mit der Grundfläche 2 und den Außenseiten 3 und 4, die in der Wandung zu verankern sind, während die dritte Seite 5 den Abschluss der Grundfläche 2 bildet. Angedeutet ist im Bereich des Stoßes 15 zwischen den beiden in der Wandung zu verankernden Seiten 3, 4 eine kleine Ausnehmung 16, die z.B. durch Abfasen entstanden ist und die eine Beeinträchtigung der Funktion des dort verlaufenden Dichtbandes verhindert.Now shows in plan view figure 5 a tray 1 in the shape of a triangle with the base 2 and the outer sides 3 and 4 to be anchored in the wall, while the third side 5 forms the end of the base 2. A small recess 16 is indicated in the area of the joint 15 between the two sides 3, 4 to be anchored in the wall, which has been created, for example, by chamfering and which prevents impairment of the function of the sealing strip running there.

In Figur 6 ist nochmals gut die Abwinklung 17 zu erkennen, die z. B. als weitere Sicherung gegen das Herunterfallen von auf der Grundfläche 2 positionierten Gegenständen dient, insbesondere wenn diese Abwinklung 17 nach oben reicht.In figure 6 is again good to recognize the bend 17, the z. B. is used as a further safeguard against falling off of objects positioned on the base 2, especially if this bend 17 extends upwards.

Dargestellt ist in Figur 7 dann insbesondere der jeweilige Auflagerflansch 20, 21 an den Außenseiten 3, 4, der in etwa parallel zur Grundfläche 2 der Ablage 1 verläuft und somit zu einer denkbar einfachen Installierung der Ablage 1 in einer hier nicht dargestellten Fuge durch entsprechende Verankerung dient.is shown in figure 7 then in particular the respective support flange 20, 21 on the outer sides 3, 4, which runs approximately parallel to the base surface 2 of the shelf 1 and thus serves for a very simple installation of the shelf 1 in a joint not shown here by appropriate anchoring.

Hierzu auch noch Figur 8 mit den abstehenden Flanschen 20, 21 an den Außenseiten 3, 4 und der Abwinklung 17 an der Außenseite 5.For this too figure 8 with the protruding flanges 20, 21 on the outer sides 3, 4 and the bend 17 on the outer side 5.

In Form eines nicht gleichschenkligen Dreiecks zeigt Figur 9 eine erfindungsgemäße Ablage 1 mit den in der Wandung zu verankernden Außenseiten 3, 4 bzw. Flanschen 20, 21.Shown in the form of a non-isosceles triangle figure 9 a shelf 1 according to the invention with the outer sides 3, 4 or flanges 20, 21 to be anchored in the wall.

Eine Öffnung 24 in der Mitte der Grundfläche 2 der Ablage 1 ist zentraler Gegenstand von Figur 10. Ergänzend etwa zur geneigten Anordnung solch einer Ablage 1 ist eine Öffnung 24 realisiert, die ein Ablaufen Wasser und ein damit einhergehendes Verschmutzen oder eine sonstige Beeinträchtigung ausschließt. Außerdem kann die Öffnung 24 dazu dienen, andere Utensilien wie Becher etc. aufzunehmen.An opening 24 in the middle of the base 2 of the shelf 1 is the central object of figure 10 . In addition to the inclined arrangement of such a shelf 1, for example, an opening 24 is implemented, which prevents water from draining and the associated soiling or other impairment. In addition, the opening 24 can be used to accommodate other utensils such as mugs, etc.

Schließlich zeigt Figur 11 in Draufsicht eine Ablage 1 mit der Grundfläche 2 in Trapezform wobei die an den Außenseiten 6, 8 vorgesehenen Flansche 22, 23 zur Verankerung in den Fugen dienen.Finally shows figure 11 a top view of a shelf 1 with the base 2 in the shape of a trapezoid, the flanges 22, 23 provided on the outer sides 6, 8 serving for anchoring in the joints.

Die Figuren 1, 4, 5, 6 und 11 betreffen nicht die erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform.the figures 1 , 4 , 5, 6 and 11 do not relate to the embodiment of the invention.
