EP3056618B1 - Height adjustable gutter base for the cover of a drainage gutter - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a height-adjustable gutter base for a cover in the form of a cover plate, grille or profile, as is commonly used to cover a drain or shower channel. Such elongated drainage or shower channels are used in particular in floor-level showers in a shower floor panel or directly in a sloping floor and again usually have such a gutter cover, which is advantageously adaptable in height to different installation situations and different thickness floor panels or tiles ,

There are gutters, such as in the patent EP 1 647 642 B1 described in which a height adjustability for the gutter cover is achieved in that on the wastewater leading base of the gutter threaded bolts or sleeves are welded and a support plate with a threaded sleeve or a threaded bolt can be screwed thereto or therein. Basically, a height adjustment by means of a thread provides good adjustability, however, it takes place in the holding device according to this patent EP 1 647 642 B1 not stepless, because the support plates are not round, but hexagonal. This fact namely that the hexagonal support plate fill the U-shaped profile of the gutter cover for granting a lateral hold, resulting in a full rotation of the support plate six height levels for the gutter cover.

An even greater disadvantage is in this fixture according to EP 1 647 642 B1 However, that the welded on the base of the gutter threaded bolts or sleeves prevent the free flow of shower water. It can get dirt, soap residue and hair on it and In addition, the cleaning of the gutter is difficult.

Consequently, there are also height-adjustable holding devices, which are used in the form of clips or clamps in the edges between gutter base and side walls. They also have a thread-based height adjustment for a support plate. The biggest disadvantage of these clip-type fixtures is that they are not very stable. In order to be able to be inserted under tension between the gutter side walls, they must be flexible enough. But this flexibility does not guarantee a stable fit of the overlying gutter cover. In addition, the plastic from which the clamps are made ages rapidly under high temperature differences in alkaline soap medium and breaks. Furthermore, it is a disadvantage that the gutter base is still not completely free for unhindered drainage of shower water.

These two known holding devices are further disadvantageous only for a single, prefabricated gutter type usable.

The EP 2 808 457 A2 Although discloses a relatively free for the outflow of water middle part of a gutter, but also relatively wide widening, in each of which recesses are provided for receiving foot parts. These foot parts are fixedly connected to a gutter cover and provide a height adjustment of the gutter cover in that a collar is rotatable or height-adjustable on an external thread of the foot parts. On this collar, then the footrest is supported in the depression. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that the gutter cover is not stored very stable and dirt, hair and soap remains stuck in the area of the widening.

The EP 2 806 075 A1 apparently an arrangement of a gutter socket in a gutter, which advantageously leaves the gutter or its bottom free of fasteners. For this purpose, at least two bridge-like insert parts are used in the gutter, in each of which in turn a support plate is arranged adjustable in height. The height adjustment by means of a leveling screw or a threaded rod which is rotatably arranged in a threaded socket.

The object of the present invention is to provide a new height adjustment of a gutter cover while avoiding the above-mentioned disadvantages, which is infinitely variable and can be used for different gutter types and is generally optimized in their properties and in their application.

The solution of the problem is first in the arrangement of a bridge-like insert part, as the same applicant in a similar form already in the German utility model DE 20 2010 002 011.5 as part of a gutter system, which was registered on 05.02.2010 and registered on 05.08.2010. The same gutter system is also in a later European patent application EP 2 354 341 A2 described, which was registered on 02.02.2011 and published on 10.08.2011. In a second patent family, consisting of the filed on 21.05.2013 and published on 28.11.2014 Swiss patent application CH 708 080 A1 and the European patent application also filed on 21.05.2013 and published on 26.11.2014 EP 2 806 075 A1 , the same bridge-like insert part is part of a height-adjustable gutter cover, which is simultaneously extended on one side.

The bridge-like insert part is described and illustrated in these two patent families in that it having a central web and two laterally arranged support feet. The two support feet in turn each form an oblique and a vertical support surface, so that the bridge-like insert part can be used both in gutters with a straight cross-section base and approximately vertical side walls, as well as in gutters with oblique side walls or sloping support shoulders. In all cases, the drainage of the shower water is not obstructed at all or as little as possible.

The bridge-like insert parts - at least two are inserted into a gutter - are preferably made of a rubber or plastic, which is relatively hard, but still elastic, so that the bridge-like insert parts optionally without the use of the support legs only by means of the vertical support surfaces in an interference fit between two approximately vertical side walls of the gutter can be used. This press fit can be further improved optionally by the vertical support surfaces are slightly wedge-shaped and / or have friction surfaces. But it is also possible to manufacture the bridge-like insert part partially or entirely of metal.

Furthermore optionally it can also be provided to form the side walls of the gutter with corresponding surface recesses or friction-increased points, and then use the bridge-like insert parts at these predetermined locations. However, it is preferred to keep the production of the gutters as simple as possible and to standardize only in terms of dimensions.

The bridge-like insert parts according to the present invention are no longer equipped with one or more threaded sleeves, but preferably with an inserted or preferably cast guide and reinforcing sleeve for an eccentric. For this, the management and reinforcing sleeve having a centrally disposed bearing pin or sleeve on which or which of the eccentric is rotatably mounted and wherein only the eccentric has a decentralized bearing bore. The eccentric can thus be both round, just with a decentralized bearing bore or even with a central bearing bore in a body which has a decentralized bulge.

In a preferred embodiment variant of a height-adjustable gutter socket according to the invention, however, and the bearing pin or the bearing sleeve is disposed decentrally in the guide and reinforcing sleeve and thus can add the decentrities and thus enhance the radial lifting movement of the eccentric, with only a small rotation of the same.

In the guide and reinforcing sleeve, a curved slot is preferably arranged, in which engages a guide pin of the eccentric. In this way, the possible rotation of the eccentric, for example, be limited to approximately 120 degrees.

The radial lifting movement of the eccentric in turn is used according to the invention to block a hollow cylindrical shaft of an axially and translationally displaceable arranged in the guide and reinforcing sleeve support stamp. As a result, it is inventively realized to turn from above through the hollow cylindrical shaft of the support temple by means of a socket wrench the eccentric, for example, a third rotation or to set the support temple to any height and him with an opposite third rotation of the eccentric means of Socket wrench in the guide and reinforcing sleeve or in the height-adjustable gutter socket again to fix or block.

This described height adjustment is therefore infinitely variable and is limited in the translational height movement only by the length of the hollow cylindrical shaft and the length of guide grooves in this shaft, which engage in a correspondingly shaped guide web of the guide and reinforcing sleeve complementary and longitudinally displaceable.

Both the inner and the outer flanks of the hollow cylindrical shaft, and also the outer surface of the eccentric can optionally be gummed and / or corrugated, so that with the eccentric closed a further optimized, tight fit of the support temple in the guide and reinforcing sleeve is guaranteed.

The material from which the guide and reinforcing sleeve, the support temple and the eccentric are made, is a relatively hard plastic, but can also be metal.

A gutter system, which comprises a gutter and a gutter cover in addition to the height-adjustable gutter sockets according to the invention, will in most cases have a gutter with a centrally located outlet nozzle. As a rule, three height-adjustable gutter sockets suffice to hold the gutter cover, two approximately in the outer ends of the gutter and one centered above the gutter.

For this height-adjustable gutter base, which is arranged centrally above the drain neck, there is an optional and preferred design variant, which is completed with an integrated drain sieve. Similar to the applicant's priority applications DE 20 2010 002 011.5 and CH 708 080 A1 discloses this time, it is provided this time to arrange a hole ring of the drainage screen by means of a retaining pin down centrally in the guide and reinforcing sleeve. This retaining pin can be plugged into a receptacle, glued or screwed and is so dimensioned that the hole ring is positioned with inserted height adjustable gutter socket inside the drain neck.

Furthermore optionally, the retaining pin may have at its lower end a thread on which the perforated ring is adjustable in height and is preferably fixable by means of one or two lock nuts, depending on whether the perforated ring has an internal thread or not.

The height-adjustable gutter base according to the invention can be part of a gutter system, on the one hand the specially designed gutters with sloping and tapered to the drain neck surfaces, height-adjustable base feet and Abbugflächen according to the Figures 1-11 from the DE 20 2010 002 011.5 includes. On the other hand, alternatively or cumulatively, the height-adjustable gutter bases according to the invention may be part of a gutter system, which in the Figures 1-16 of the CH 708 080 A1 includes gutter cover profiles described. These are characterized in different material designs and design variants in that they are extended on one side and thus also cover a gap between a classic gutter cover and a connecting wall. It thus eliminates the need to flatten or tiling the narrow strip between the drainage channel and the connecting wall.

Characterized in that the support temple of a height-adjustable channel base according to the invention are hollow - not least for receiving the socket wrench to operate the eccentric - there is the further possibility according to the invention to use any channel covers with a retaining pin arranged on the underside in the support temple. This brings the advantage that the gutter cover gains in lateral stability, especially in those embodiments of gutter covers, which are unilaterally extended, as described in the previous paragraph. In this connection of support temple and gutter cover, it would also not be necessary to design the Auflagerondell much wider than the outer diameter of the hollow cylindrical shaft of the support stamp.

The retaining pin arranged on the underside of the channel cover can be welded on. In the case of a one-piece channel cover profile, this may mean that a welding technique is required which does not cause heat spots or even deformations. In the case of multi-part gutter cover profiles, such as through the incorporation of the Figures 1-16 of the CH 708 080 A1 co-disclosed, this problem is less. But it is also a sticking or riveting of the retaining pin into consideration, which may be made of metal or plastic.

Equally, however, it is also possible to design the gutter covers in the form of a cross-sectionally L-shaped, simple and non-multi-part profile and to provide a continuous or even punctiform lateral enclosure for the Auflagerondell on the underside of the gutter cover. Furthermore, it is also possible to arrange in the bottom of the gutter cover countersunk holes, by means of which the gutter covers is placed on the Auflagerondelle.

The disclosed different design variants of a height-adjustable channel base according to the invention can be combined as desired with respect to the features that are not fundamentally relevant to one another. For example, all described embodiments of a bridge-like insert part with the described different design variants a gutter can be combined and both with the different design variants of gutter covers, not least with those in the CH 708 080 A1 are disclosed. The combinations that result from this are in turn freely combinable with the design variants with or without an extended shaft, with or without a drainage screen or with or without retaining pins.

In the Fig. 1 is an exemplary first embodiment variant of a height-adjustable according to the invention Gutter base 200 shown schematically, which is inserted with a bridge-like insert part 1 in a gutter 2. The bridge-like insert part 1 forms a web 3, on the sides of each of which a support foot 4a and 4b is arranged, each with an approximately vertical support surface 5a and 5b and respectively with an oblique support surface 6a and 6b.

The gutter 2 in turn, in this embodiment variant, forms a left flange 7a and a right flange 7b, a left, approximately vertical side wall 8a and a right, approximately vertical side wall 8b and a cross-sectionally straight gutter base 9. With all these elements, the gutter 2 is here preferably poured into a shower base plate 10, which further preferably consists of a stable functional material that absorbs moisture, is shrinkage and rot-free and fungus resistant.

The gutter 2 further forms a discharge nozzle 11, which is inserted in a plug-in sleeve 12 of an indicated drain body or siphon 300.

The flanges 7a and 7b of the gutter 2 may each be overlapped by a composite seal 13a and 13b. On top of each, a tile adhesive layer 14a and 14b is applied which holds floor tiles 15a and 15b. Depending on the thickness of the floor tiles 15a and 15b used, a distance A results from respective tops 16a and 16b of the flanges 7a and 7b to respective tops 17a and 17b of the floor tiles 15a and 15b.

Not necessarily, but preferably the bridge-like insert part 1 is dimensioned in its overall height so that when inserted into the gutter 2, an upper side 18 of the bridge-like insert part 1 with the tops 16a and 16b of the flanges 7a and 7b aligned. This facilitates any presetting or measuring in order to obtain a setting height E, which, together with a thickness D of a gutter cover 19 preferably gives exactly or approximately the distance A.

The setting height E is adjustable by a support temple 20 with a Auflagerondell 21 also forms a hollow cylindrical shaft 22 and the latter is by means of guide grooves 23 in a guide and reinforcing sleeve 24 along a height axis Z translationally displaced and with a closer in this figure shown eccentric fixed. Behind the guide groove 23 is a second, congruent guide groove and these two are preferably aligned in the longitudinal direction of the gutter 2, i. in the flow direction of the shower water.

The Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment variant of a gutter system 100a according to the invention, in which a height adjustable gutter base 200a with a web 3a this time not only with supporting feet 4c and 4d approximately vertically arranged support surfaces 5c and 5d in turn again approximately vertical side walls 8c and 8d a gutter 2a taken is, but also with inclined support surfaces 6c and 6d supported on inclined support shoulders 25a and 25b, which forms this embodiment variant of a gutter 2a. Otherwise, the gutter 2a not only flanges 7c and 7d with respective top sides 16c and 16d, but, in contrast to the gutter 2 from the Fig. 1 trapezoidal slopes 26.

Furthermore, a discharge nozzle 11a is arranged on the drainage channel 2a, which is inserted into a plug-in socket 12a, which is sealed with a rubber ring 27. The plug-in sleeve 12a is part of an indicated drain body or siphon 300a.

A composite seal 13c overlaps the sealing tape 28. By means of a tile adhesive layer 14c, a wall tile 15c is glued, which is preferably supported on a round cord 29 and with an elastic Joint 30 is sealed.

The right flange 7d is preferably partially overlapped by a composite seal 13d and thereon is seated a floor tile 15d by means of a tile adhesive layer 14d. An upper side 17c of the floor tile 15d gives a distance A ₁ up to the upper side 16d of the flange 7d. In order to obtain an approximately identical height of a gutter cover 19a to the upper side 17c of the floor tile 15d, it is necessary, minus a thickness D _{1 of} the gutter cover 19a, to set a setting height E _{1 of} a support temple 20a. This is achieved by a Auflagerondell 21a and a hollow, cylindrical shaft 22a by means of guide grooves 23a in a guide and reinforcing sleeve 24a along an axis Z _{1 is} translationally displaceable and fixable. The fixation is carried out again by means of an unspecified in this figure, in the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24a inside eccentric.

It is also advantageous again for possible measurement and presetting of the setting height E ₁ when an upper side 18a of a bridge-like insert part 1a and the upper side 16d of the flange 7d are aligned, due to appropriate dimensioning of the bridge-like insert part 1a and positioning of the inclined support shoulders 25a and 25b the gutter 2a.

The gutter cover 19a does not have as in the Fig. 1 have the cross section of an upside-down Us, but may be L-shaped and have arranged on the gutter cover bottom an elbow 31, even selectively and not over the entire longitudinal extent of the channel cover 19a.

Furthermore, in analogy to the co-incorporated disclosure of the CH 708 080 A1 , the gutter cover 19a forms an extended side surface 36, which covers a gap Zr and thus no longer needs to be tiled.

In the Fig. 3 a drainage gutter system 100b is schematically shown, which comprises a height adjustable gutter base 200b, this time again - almost as squeeze holder - only by means of on the sides of a web 3b approximately vertically arranged support surfaces 5e and 5f on approximately vertical side walls 8e and 8f a gutter 2b is supported. Support feet 4e and 4f are not needed in this embodiment variant, but are available for universal use in any gutter type.

The gutter 2b is preferably cast in a shower base plate 10b and forms a drain neck 11b, which, sealed with a rubber ring 27a, is inserted in a plug-in sleeve 12b of an indicated drain body or siphon 300b. Further, the gutter 2b forms a right flange 7f which is partially overlapped with a composite seal 13f. Then, by means of a tile adhesive layer 14f, this time a slightly thicker floor tile 15f is adhered and thus gives a distance A ₂ from a top side 16f of the flange 7f to a top side 17d of the floor tile 15f.

The desired floor flatness of a groove cover 19b with the upper surface 17d of the floor tile 15f is obtained when a thickness D ₂ of the groove cover 19b plus a set height E ₂ corresponds to the distance A _2, wherein the setting height E ₂ this time is measured from a top surface 35 of the support foot 4f is. The Setting the setting height E ₂ takes place as before, by a support punch 20b with guide grooves 23b along an axis Z ₂ translationally in a guide and reinforcing sleeve 24b displaceable and fixed by means of an internal eccentric, not shown.

At the bottom of the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24b, a drain screen 32 is arranged, with a retaining pin 33 and a hole ring 34th

The support temple 20b forms a Auflagerondell 21b and a hollow, cylindrical shaft 22b and this time is shown cut. Thus, it can be seen that the support temple 20b or the hollow, cylindrical shaft 22b form a central hole 41 into which an optional retaining pin 37 preferably welded to the channel cover 19b can be inserted. This arrangement provides good lateral stability of the channel cover 19b and the support disc 21b could further optionally be reduced or eliminated.

An extended side surface 36a of the channel cover 19b covers a gap Zr ₁ , which consists of a wall tile 15e and thus no longer needs to be tiled.

The Fig. 4 shows the height adjustable gutter base 200a from the Fig. 2 in enlarged and perspective view. In this case, it is readily apparent from the features already described therein that the guide groove 23a and a second guide groove 23c are arranged opposite one another in the hollow, cylindrical shaft 22a. The latter is hollow because a center hole 41a is continuous. The bridge-like insert part 1a forms steps 38a and 38b. The guide and reinforcing sleeve 24a has braces 39, of which only one is exemplified. Furthermore, one sees through the guide groove 23a an inner eccentric 40th

In the Fig. 5a is the height adjustable gutter base 200a from the Figures 2 and 4 shown. It is shown that on the underside of the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24a struts 39 are arranged and that an axis Z ₃ at the same time cutting axis BB for the following Fig. 5b is.

The Fig. 5b shows that the guide grooves 23c and 23a divide the hollow cylindrical shaft 22a into two cylinder flanks, of which in this view only one cylinder flank 50 is visible. The axis Z ₃ is center axis for the web 3a, the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24a and the support punch 21a, but not for a decentralized bearing sleeve 42, the center axis is a bearing sleeve axis Z _Lh . This bearing sleeve axis Z _Lh is displaced from the center axis Z ₃ by a decentricity Dz.

On the decentral bearing sleeve 42 of the eccentric 40 is rotatably mounted, secured by a pass curvature 43. The eccentric has on its upper side, so operated by the central hole 41a, a key receptacle 48. If now the eccentric 40, for example by means of a hexagon socket key about the axis _{3 is} rotated, the eccentric 40 fixes the cylinder flanks 50 in a press fit against a cylindrical wall 59 of the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24a.

In the Fig. 6 an exemplary fourth embodiment variant of a height-adjustable channel base 200c according to the invention is shown, which essentially comprises the elements already known. These elements are therefore described only with the already known reference numerals, with continued indices. However, what is new is an elongated hollow cylindrical shank 44 and in the hole ring 34a are holes 45 formed by spokes 46.

The Fig. 7a shows the height adjustable gutter base 200c from the Fig. 6 in plan view, with recesses 47 and a key receptacle 48a in the eccentric 40a and a cutting axis CC for the next figure.

In the Fig. 7b It is shown that the retaining pin 33a of the drain screen 32a can be inserted, glued or screwed into a receiving bore 49 of the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24c. A bearing sleeve Z axis _Lh1 a decentered arranged bearing sleeve 42a for the cam 40a is shifted from a central axis Z ₄ of the height adjustable pedestal channel 200c a Dezentrizität Dz. ₁

The Fig. 8a shows an inventive bridge-like insert part 1d in side view. In this case, already known elements are continued with the corresponding indices. A guiding and reinforcing sleeve 24d is preferably cast into the bridge-like insert part 1d and has braces 39b-39h both at its upper edge and at its lower edge. Furthermore, the guiding and reinforcing sleeve 24d may be engaged with a fixing ring 51.

In the Fig. 8b is the bridge-like insert part 1d from the Fig. 8a shown in a subview. It can be seen here that the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24d forms through recess segments 53a and 53b into which the cylinder flanks of the support punch fit. On a center web 54, a receiving sleeve 52 for the drainage screen and the retaining pin is arranged centrally. An inner bore 55 of the decentralized bearing sleeve, on the other hand, illustrates that a common center axis gMa with a first center axis Ma _{1 forms} a first center for the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24d, and with a second center axis Ma ₂ a second center for the inner bore 55 or the decentric bearing sleeve. These two centers are around a decentricity Dz ₂ postponed.

The Fig. 9 shows a further inventive guide and reinforcing sleeve 24e in a sole, enlarged and perspective view. Within a cylindrical wall 59b, a decentralized bearing sleeve 42b protrudes. A collar 56 is braced with braces 39j-39p at the top and bottom. Furthermore, 56 holes 57 are arranged in the collar. These are all measures for a fixed molded seat in the bridge-like insert part and a high in-itself stability of the guide and reinforcement sleeve 24e.

In the Fig. 10a is the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24e from the Fig. 9 shown in supervision and thus essentially all already known elements that are continued with corresponding indices. However, what is shown for the first time is an arcuate slot 58 which exemplarily releases a rotation of approximately 120 degrees for a guide and limit pin inserted therein and disposed on the eccentric, which will be shown in a later figure. The eccentric is thus in any case from an open rotational position P ₁ in a closed rotational position P ₂ and vice versa rotatable.

The Fig. 10b shows the sectional view of the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24e from the Fig. 10a , along a cutting axis FF from the Fig. 10a , It can be seen that center axes Ma ₃ and Ma ₄ are shifted by a decentricity Dz ₃ .

In the Fig. 11 a further inventive eccentric 40b is shown separately and in perspective, with recesses 47a-47d and a key receptacle 48b, all in a body 60th

The Fig. 12a shows, in particular, that according to the invention not only the bearing sleeve in the guide and reinforcing sleeve provides for a lifting movement of the eccentric 40b, but also the eccentric 40b itself, for example and optionally forming the round, cylindrical body 60 with a first center, the is defined by a common center axis gMa ₂ and a center axis Ma ₅ . A second center is defined by the common center axis gMa ₂ and a center axis Ma _{6 of} a receiving bore 62 for the decentralized bearing sleeves. These two centers are spaced by a decentricity Dz ₄ .

Furthermore, in this figure, a guide and limiting pin 61 can be seen in the arcuate slot from the Fig. 10a can be used and results in an exemplary 120 degrees limited rotation of the eccentric 40b when used in the guide and reinforcing sleeve 24e from the Fig. 10a ,

In the Fig. 12b is the sectional view of the eccentric 40b shown by a section along a cutting axis GG from the Fig. 12a results. It can be seen that the body 60 of the eccentric is preferably designed in one piece and is penetrated by the recesses 47a and 47c. Furthermore, it has a receiving bore 62, which corresponds to the decentralized bearing sleeves 42, 42 a and 42 b from the FIGS. 5b . 7b . 9 . 10a and 10b is formed with a fitting groove 63 which is placed with slight pressure on the dome of the decentralized bearing sleeve and thus secured against accidental falling out, but still is easily rotated.
