Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing system for a shower floor of a sanitary space.
  • a shower floor is understood to mean the floor part of a sanitary space, which often deals with large quantities of water, such as a floor beneath a shower head. It is of great importance that no leakage can occur in this part of the floor of the sanitary space. Particularly in the case of a shower space the greater part of the floor must be watertight. When the shower space is part of a larger bathroom, it is then recommended to make the floor part of the shower space watertight.
  • outlet conduits After which a floor is cast over the outlet conduits.
  • floors are often sand cement floors or cast floors.
  • this drain or a part thereof is also first placed together with the outlet conduits, after which the floor is poured or cast.
  • Proper presetting of the height of the drain is important here in order to ensure that, once the floor has been finished with for instance a tile layer, the upper edge of the drain lies flush with the tile layer.
  • Raising elements can possibly provide some compensation, although each additional element increases the chance of leakage.
  • a sealant may for instance lose its properties when the sealant is exposed to frost.
  • the finishing layer can then only be arranged when the adhesive layer has cured sufficiently.
  • the adhesive surface of the drain will further become soiled during curing of the floor due to workers walking over the floor and therefore over the adhesive surface, and due to the dust of the sand cement.
  • the watertight layer is only arranged once the floor has cured sufficiently. The adhesive surface would then first have to be cleaned for a good adhesion. This is however often not done.
  • Overlapping arrangement of different membrane parts can also cause problems when a thin finishing layer is desired.
  • the differences in thickness would have to be compensated with a thick adhesive layer, but it is precisely this which is undesirable in the case of a thin finishing layer.
  • connection is not watertight, for instance due to the quality of the adhesive or because the flange has been soiled by dust and grit.
  • competence of the skilled worker may also play a part in the quality of the connection.
  • Another drawback is that the membrane has to be attached with two different adhesives.
  • the one type of adhesive is used to attach the membrane to the drain, while the other type of adhesive is used to attach the membrane to the floor. It is hereby difficult to monitor whether correct arrangement has taken place.
  • a sealing system comprising a watertight flexible layer, such as a sealing membrane, the flexible layer comprising an insert part for a watertight connection to an outlet opening arranged in the shower floor.
  • An insert part is formed on the flexible layer.
  • This insert part can easily be inserted into an outlet opening of an outlet pipe arranged in a floor, whereby a good sealing on the outlet pipe is obtained immediately without any adhesive or sealant being required. It is thus possible to first cast the floor with an outlet pipe therein, only after which the watertight flexible layer is arranged by inserting the insert part of the flexible layer into the outlet pipe. No adhesive is required here, which increases the reliability of the connection to the outlet pipe.
  • the sealing of the membrane on the outlet pipe takes place on a vertical surface, in contrast to the prior art, wherein the sealing usually takes place on a horizontal surface, such as an adhering flange. Owing to the sealing on a vertical surface, such as the inner wall of the outlet pipe, the dimensions are limited. In the case the membrane were not to wholly seal on the vertical surface, leakage would then still not occur because the insert part protrudes into the outlet pipe.
  • the tubular insert part comprises a number of peripheral grooves on the outer surface, wherein a sealing ring is arranged in at least one groove.
  • the insert part can easily be sawn to size and the sealing ring can be arranged in a suitable peripheral groove.
  • the tubular insert part can comprise a flange on which the watertight flexible layer is arranged, for instance by adhesion or vulcanization.
  • This attachment of the flexible layer preferably takes place in a controlled environment, such as in a factory, so that the watertightness of the attachment of the layer to the flange can be guaranteed.
  • the tubular insert part is formed from a rubber and a protruding flexible peripheral flange is arranged on the inner side.
  • the rubber insert part can be placed in the same manner in the outlet opening of an outlet pipe. By then placing an outlet pipe of for instance a drain in the insert part, the rubber insert part is pressed more tightly into the outlet pipe.
  • the insert part is a rubber ring which is arranged on the watertight flexible layer and which can be placed in a groove arranged in the outlet opening.
  • the rubber ring such as for instance an O-ring, is attached to the layer and placed in a groove in the outlet opening.
  • a tubular outflow of a shower drain can for instance then be placed in the sealing ring so that the ring is pressed against the wall of the outlet pipe.
  • the tubular outflow can optionally be provided with a number of grooves so that water passing between the insert part and the tubular outflow can also flow away.
  • the insert part is a flexible sleeve
  • the sealing system comprises a tensioning element arranged in the flexible sleeve for tensioning the flexible sleeve against the wall in the outlet opening.
  • the flexible sleeve can even be formed from the membrane itself, if this membrane is sufficiently flexible and stretchable.
  • the flexible layer comprises a corner part, whereby the parts adjacent to the corner part are upright.
  • the flexible watertight layer with the upright parts can thus be arranged against a wall.
  • the corner part is preferably stretchable so that small variations in the dimensions can be easily compensated by deforming the corner part.
  • prefab elements A type of shower tray is thus formed by the arranged corners.
  • the watertight flexible layers can then be provided with corner parts in the factory, whereby the floor of the shower space can be sealed reliably in one operation. These prefab shower trays can then be placed in a large number of similar shower spaces.
  • two or more insert parts are arranged on the flexible watertight layer.
  • the insert parts are preferably covered by the watertight layer so that only one of the two or more insert parts is placed in an outlet pipe. This enables more variation in the sealing system.
  • the watertight flexible layer is an integral whole and extends at least over the whole surface of the shower floor.
  • the position of the outlet pipe can be varied by selecting dimensions of the flexible layer which are larger than the dimensions of the shower floor to be sealed, whereby the flexible layer can be placed such that the insert part can be inserted into the outlet pipe and the shower floor is covered by the flexible layer.
  • the invention further comprises a combination of a sealing system according to the invention, a floor in which an outlet pipe is arranged, wherein the insert part of the sealing system protrudes into the outlet pipe, and a finishing layer, such as a tile layer, arranged over the flexible layer.
  • a space is present between the floor and the insert part of the sealing system such that the insert part lies loosely relative to the floor.
  • the flexible layer and the insert part attached thereto can thus still be inserted after curing of the floor.
  • the outlet pipe arranged in the floor preferably comprises a siphon.
  • the upper edge of the insert part preferably lies below the upper surface of the finishing layer.
  • the sealing system can hereby be used as drain without additional measures being necessary.
  • the flexible layer provides for a watertight sealing of the underlying floor, whereby the water can flow into the insert part and thus into the outlet pipe.
  • the optionally arranged siphon prevents possible undesirable odours.
  • the siphon can extend as far as the finishing layer, thereby obtaining a small overall depth of the whole.
  • a preferred embodiment of the combination according to the invention further comprises a collecting tray with an outlet opening and a tube part arranged on the outlet opening, wherein the tube part is pressed into the insert part of the watertight flexible layer.
  • the collecting tray is preferably an elongate tray and comprises a grating which is placed in the elongate tray. It can optionally be advantageous to attach the elongate tray to the flexible layer, for instance by means of adhesion.
  • a flat plate of for instance stainless steel on the membrane and over the outlet opening.
  • the finishing layer such as a tile layer, can then be arranged.
  • a collecting tray can thus be formed above the flat plate by omitting a number of tiles. An exact alignment is not necessary between the flat plate and the finishing layer.
  • a finishing strip can optionally be further arranged against the edge of the finishing layer.
  • the lower tray can be embodied in plastic.
  • the weight of the combination is hereby reduced, this having advantages in respect of transport costs.
  • Yet another embodiment of a combination according to the invention comprises a sloping plate with a flat lower surface and a flat upper surface, wherein the upper surface forms an angle with the lower surface, the sloping plate being placed on the watertight flexible layer, wherein the finishing layer extends over the sloping plate and wherein the slope is directed toward the outlet opening.
  • a slope can be created in simple manner by arranging an inclined plate on the watertight layer.
  • the sloping plate can optionally take a porous form so that, in the case of leakage through the finishing layer, the water can still be carried along the watertight layer to the outlet opening.
  • the floor plate can also be given a porous form by means of channels.
  • sealing system is particularly suitable for sealing floors, it can also be used to seal for instance an outlet pipe arranged in a wall.
  • the sealing system can also be used to properly seal passages through walls or floors.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment 1 of a combination according to the invention.

  • a grating 11 is placed in collecting tray 8.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of combination 1 in the assembled state.
  • Siphon 6 is cast into a floor 12, wherein an opening 13 is left clear above the siphon. Insert part 3 can hereby be placed into outlet opening 5 of siphon 6 after curing of floor 12.
  • Insert part 3 has a number of peripheral grooves 14 into which a sealing ring 4 can be placed.
  • peripheral grooves 14 can be used to make insert part 3 to size.
  • top side insert part 3 On the top side insert part 3 is provided with a flange 15 with which the insert part is attached to membrane 2.
  • a second membrane 16 is arranged under flange 15.
  • the finishing layer 17, such as for instance tiles, can be arranged.
  • the collecting tray 8 is further arranged and grating 11 is placed in collecting tray 8.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a sanitary space 20.
  • Sanitary space 20 has a floor 21 and two walls 22, 23.
  • the floor part is provided with a sealing system 25 according to the invention.
  • the additional sealing system 25 is only necessary where floor 21 comes into intensive contact with water.
  • the membrane of sealing system 25 is folded upward along walls 22, 23 by means of the stretchable corner part 26. If the dimensions of sealing system 25 do not correspond wholly with floor 21 and walls 22, 23, corner part 26 can be stretched to compensate for this.
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment 30 of a sealing system according to the invention.
  • This sealing system 30 has a flexible watertight membrane 31 on which a rubber ring 32 is arranged.
  • This rubber ring 32 protrudes into a groove 33 arranged in an outlet pipe 34.
  • Outlet pipe 34 is cast into a floor 35.
  • Rubber ring 32 is pressed against the wall of outlet pipe 34 by insertion of a tube part 36 of a shower drain 37.
  • a finishing tile layer 38 is then arranged over the flexible watertight membrane 31.
  • a third embodiment 40 is shown in figure 5 .
  • a watertight layer 41 is provided here with a flexible sleeve 42 which protrudes into an outlet pipe 43 arranged in floor 44.
  • Outlet pipe 43 is provided on the inner side with a groove 45. Flexible sleeve 42 is pressed into this groove 45 by a spring ring 46, whereby a watertight connection of layer 41 to outlet pipe 43 is obtained.
