Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Lotionsspender für Bad- und Sanitärräume gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lotion dispenser for bathrooms and sanitary rooms according to the preamble of claim 1.

Für Bad- und Sanitärräume sind Lotionsspender zum Unterputzeinbau in eine Wandnische bekannt. Die bekannten Lotionsspender bestehen aus einem kastenförmigen Gehäuse mit umlaufendem Flansch und einem Spendermodul mit Frontplatte. Der Spendermodul ist mit seiner Frontplatte bündig mit dem umlaufenden Flansch in das Gehäuse einsetzbar. Unterhalb der Frontplatte kann man in das Gehäuse hinein greifen und einen Hebel oder eine Lichtschranke des Spendermoduls zur Lotionsausgabe betätigen. Beim Einbau der bekannten Lotionsspender wird das Gehäuse in die Wandnische mit möglichst geringem Spiel eingepasst und mit seinem umlaufenden Flansch auf den die Wandnische umgebenden Wandbelag (Fliese, Feinsteinzeug, Naturstein) aufgesetzt. Die Fuge zwischen dem Flansch und dem Wandbelag wird mit Silikonkleber abgedichtet, wodurch gleichzeitig der Lotionsspender in seiner Einbaulage fixiert wird. Eine solcher Einbau hat jedoch eine Reihe von Nachteilen: Zum einen muss die Wandnische ziemlich genau mit den Einbaumaßen des kastenförmigen Gehäuses übereinstimmen, um einen sicheren Sitz des bekannten Lotionsspenders zu gewährleisten. Zum anderen ist die Abfugung des umlaufenden Flansches im Nassbereich wartungsbedürftig. Schließlich steht der umlaufende Flansch über den umgebenden Wandbelag hervor, was bei der Reinigung des Wandbelages stört und überdies unschön.Lotion dispensers for flush mounting in a wall niche are known for bathroom and sanitary rooms. The known lotion dispensers consist of a box-shaped housing with a circumferential flange and a dispenser module with a front plate. The front panel of the dispenser module can be inserted flush with the surrounding flange in the housing. Below the front panel you can reach into the housing and operate a lever or a light barrier of the dispenser module to dispense the lotion. When installing the well-known lotion dispenser, the housing is fitted into the wall niche with as little play as possible and placed with its surrounding flange on the wall covering (tile, porcelain stoneware, natural stone) surrounding the wall niche. The joint between the flange and the wall covering is sealed with silicone adhesive, which also fixes the lotion dispenser in its installed position. However, such an installation has a number of disadvantages: on the one hand, the wall niche must match the installation dimensions of the box-shaped housing to ensure a secure fit of the known lotion dispenser. Secondly, the removal of the circumferential flange in the wet area requires maintenance. Finally, the circumferential flange protrudes over the surrounding wall covering, which bothers when cleaning the wall covering and is also unsightly.

US2439664 offenbart einen Einbaukasten mit einem Unterputz-Montagekasten und einem Einbaumodul. US2439664 discloses a built-in box with a flush-mounting box and a built-in module.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Lotionsspender für Bad- und Sanitärräume zum Einbau in eine Wandnische zu schaffen, dessen Einbaumaße nur eine ungefähre Übereinstimmung mit den Abmessungen der Wandnische erfordern und welcher auch bei unterschiedlichen Materialstärken des jeweiligen Wandbelags einen mit dem Wandbelag bündigen Einbau ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a lotion dispenser for bathroom and sanitary facilities for installation in a wall niche, the installation dimensions of which only require an approximate correspondence with the dimensions of the wall niche and which, even with different material thicknesses of the respective wall covering, enables installation flush with the wall covering ,

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Lotionsspenders nach der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the lotion dispenser according to the invention result from the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Lotionsspender besteht aus drei Bauelementen, nämlich aus (a) einem Unterputz-Montagekasten, der in einer Wandnische positioniert ist, (b) einem mit dem umgebenden Mauerwerk der Wandnische verbindbaren Flanschrahmen, welcher den Unterputz-Montagekasten ringförmig umgibt und mit diesem verstellbar verbunden ist und (c) einem Einbaumodul, welches in den Unterputz-Montagekasten eingesetzt ist und dabei mit einem Randflansch die freien Enden des Unterputz-Montagekastens bündig überdeckt. Der Montage-Flanschrahmen wird beim Einbau des erfindungsgemäßen Lotionsspenders an dem Mauerwerk unter dem Wandbelag befestigt und haltert den Unterputz-Montagekasten "schwimmend" in der Wandnische. Mit der Verstellmöglichkeit des Flanschrahmens am Unterputz-Montagekasten kann die Einbautiefe des Unterputz-Montagekastens an unterschiedliche Materialstärken des Wandbelags angepasst werden. Das in den Unterputz-Montagekasten eingesetzte Einbaumodul kann auf diese Weise bündig mit der Oberfläche des Wandbelags abschließen.The lotion dispenser according to the invention consists of three components, namely (a) a flush-mounted assembly box that is positioned in a wall niche, (b) a flange frame that can be connected to the surrounding masonry of the wall niche, which surrounds the flush-mounted assembly box in a ring and is adjustably connected to it and (c) a built-in module, which is inserted in the flush-mounting box and covers the free ends of the flush-mounting box flush with an edge flange. The mounting flange frame is attached to the masonry under the wall covering when installing the lotion dispenser according to the invention and holds the flush-mounted mounting box "floating" in the wall niche. With the possibility of adjusting the flange frame on the flush-mounted installation box, the installation depth of the flush-mounted installation box can be adapted to different material thicknesses of the wall covering. In this way, the built-in module installed in the flush-mounting box can be flush with the surface of the wall covering.

The invention is explained in more detail with its further details and advantages with reference to the drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1
a perspective view of the lotion dispenser according to the invention, and
Fig. 2
a horizontal section through a corner of the lotion dispenser according to the invention.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Lotionsspender nach der Erfindung ist zum Einbau in eine Wandnische 5 (Fig. 2) eines Bad- oder Sanitärraums, beispielsweise einer Duschkabine vorgesehen und dient zur Aufnahme von einem oder mehreren, nicht gezeigten Lotionsbehältern. An seiner Vorderseite ist der Lotionsspender mit einer Abdeckung 8 versehen, hinter welcher die nicht gezeigten Lotionsbehälter angebracht sind. Die Abdeckung 8 verschließt die Vorderseite des Lotionsspenders nur im oberen Bereich, um unterhalb der Abdeckung 8 den Zugriff zu den nicht gezeigten Lotionsbehältern zu gestatten. Die Lotionsbehälter können auf beliebige Weise die Lotionsabgabe beim Zugriff auslösen, beispielsweise durch manuelles Betätigen eines Hebels oder durch manuelles Unterbrechen einer Lichtschranke. Der Lotionsspender ist dabei so in die Wandnische eingebaut, dass seine Oberfläche bündig mit dem Wandbelag 3 des Bad- oder Sanitärraums, bestehend aus Fliesen, Feinsteinzeug oder Naturstein, abschließt. Dieser flächenbündige Einbau gewährleistet nicht nur ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Aussehen des eingebauten Lotionsspenders speziell bei einem hochwertigem Wandbelag 3, sondern erlaubt darüber hinaus eine von Vorsprüngen oder Oberflächenunebenheiten ungestörte Reinigung des Wandbelags 3 in der Umgebung des Lotionsspenders.The in Figure 1 The illustrated lotion dispenser according to the invention is for installation in a wall niche 5 ( Fig. 2 ) a bathroom or sanitary room, for example a shower cubicle, and is used to hold one or more lotion containers, not shown. At its front, the lotion dispenser is provided with a cover 8, behind which the lotion containers, not shown, are attached. The cover 8 closes the front of the lotion dispenser only in the upper area in order to allow access to the lotion containers, not shown, below the cover 8. The lotion containers can trigger the lotion delivery when accessed, for example by manually operating a lever or by manually interrupting a light barrier. The lotion dispenser is installed in the wall niche so that its surface is flush with the wall covering 3 of the bathroom or sanitary room, consisting of tiles, porcelain stoneware or natural stone. This flush installation not only ensures an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the built-in lotion dispenser, especially with a high-quality wall covering 3, but also allows the wall covering 3 in the vicinity of the lotion dispenser to be cleaned undisturbed by projections or surface irregularities.

Der erfindungsgemäße Lotionsspender umfasst einen Unterputz-Montagekasten 1, der "schwimmend" in der Wandnische 5 positioniert ist. "Schwimmend" bedeutet, dass die Abmessungen der Wandnische 5 nicht genau den Einbaumaßen des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 entsprechen und daher zwischen der Wandnische 5 und dem Unterputz-Montagekasten 1 ein mehr oder weniger großer Luftraum 9 (Fig. 2) vorhanden ist, der nach erfolgter Montage beispielsweise mit Schaumkunststoff ausgefüllt werden kann.The lotion dispenser according to the invention comprises a flush mounting box 1, which is positioned "floating" in the wall recess 5. "Floating" means that the dimensions of the wall niche 5 do not exactly correspond to the installation dimensions of the flush-mounting box 1 and therefore a more or less large air space 9 (between the wall niche 5 and the flush-mounting box 1 ( Fig. 2 ) is available, which can be filled with foam plastic after assembly.

Auf den Unterputz-Montagekasten 1 ist ein umlaufender Montage-Flanschrahmen 2 ausgesetzt, welcher bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 ein Winkelprofil aufweist. Der eine Schenkel des winkelförmigen Flanschrahmens 2 ist an den Seitenwänden des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 verstellbar befestigt. Hierzu weisen die Seitenwände des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 beispielsweise Schlitze oder Lochreihen auf, damit der Abstand des Flanschrahmens 2 zu den freien Enden des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 variabel eingestellt werden kann. Diese variable Einstellung des Flanschrahmens 2 ist in Fig. 1 durch die beiden in Gegenrichtung zeigenden Pfeile angedeutet. Der andere Schenkel des winkelförmigen Flanschrahmens 2 ist, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, an dem Mauerwerk 6 unter dem Wandbelag 3 befestigt, welcher die Wandnische 5 umgibt. Durch die Befestigung des winkelförmigen Flanschrahmens 2 am Mauerwerk 6 wird der Unterputz-Montagekasten 1 in der Mauernische 5 in seiner "schwimmenden" Einbaulage gehalten. Die Einbautiefe des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 in der Wandnische 5 ist somit abhängig von dem variablen Abstand der freien Enden des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 von dem aufgesetzten Flanschrahmen 2. Durch die verstellbare Befestigung des Flanschrahmens 2 an demOn the flush mounting box 1, a circumferential mounting flange frame 2 is exposed, which according to the embodiment Fig. 2 has an angular profile. One leg of the angular flange frame 2 is adjustably attached to the side walls of the flush mounting box 1. For this purpose, the side walls of the in-wall mounting box 1 have, for example, slots or rows of holes, so that the distance between the flange frame 2 and the free ends of the in-wall mounting box 1 can be variably adjusted. This variable setting of the flange frame 2 is in Fig. 1 indicated by the two arrows pointing in the opposite direction. The other leg of the angular flange frame 2 is as from Fig. 2 can be seen attached to the masonry 6 under the wall covering 3, which surrounds the wall niche 5. By fastening the angular flange frame 2 to the masonry 6, the flush-mounting box 1 is kept in its "floating" installation position in the wall recess 5. The installation depth of the flush mounting box 1 in the wall recess 5 is thus dependent on the variable distance of the free ends of the flush mounting box 1 from the flange frame 2 attached. By the adjustable fastening of the flange frame 2 to the

Unterputz-Montagekasten 1 lässt sich die Einbautiefe des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 an die jeweilige Materialstärke des verwendeten Wandbelags 3 so anpassen, dass die Oberfläche des Lotionsspenders nach seinem Einbau in die Wandnische 5 bündig mit dem Wandbelag 3 abschließt.In-wall mounting box 1, the installation depth of the in-wall mounting box 1 can be adapted to the respective material thickness of the wall covering 3 used so that the surface of the lotion dispenser is flush with the wall covering 3 after it has been installed in the wall recess 5.

Die Materialstärke des Wandbelags 3 hängt von der Beschaffenheit des jeweiligen Wandbelags ab, der aus Fliesen, Feinsteinzeug oder Naturstein bestehen kann. Fliesen haben eine Wandstärke von beispielsweise 0,8 bis 1,2 cm, wohingegen Natursteine eine Wandstärke von beispielsweise 1,8 bis 2,0 cm aufweisen können. Zur Materialstärke des Wandbelags 3 kommt noch die Dicke der Kleberschicht hinzu, die im Falle von Fliesen geringer ist als im Falle von Naturstein.The material thickness of the wall covering 3 depends on the nature of the respective wall covering, which can consist of tiles, porcelain stoneware or natural stone. Tiles have a wall thickness of, for example, 0.8 to 1.2 cm, whereas natural stones can have a wall thickness of, for example, 1.8 to 2.0 cm. In addition to the material thickness of the wall covering 3, there is the thickness of the adhesive layer, which is less in the case of tiles than in the case of natural stone.

In den Unterputz-Montagekasten 1 ist ein Einbaumodul 4 eingesetzt, dessen Gehäuse einen Randflansch aufweist, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist. Zwischen dem Randflansch des Modul-Gehäuses befindet sich die Abdeckung 8, welche in nicht gezeigter Weise an dem Modul-Gehäuse befestigt ist, beispielsweise nach oben schwenkbar mittels seitlicher Lagerzapfen. Der Randflansch des Modul-Gehäuses überdeckt die freien Enden des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1, wie ebenfalls aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist. Im eingebauten Zustand des Einbaumoduls 4 schließt der Randflansch des Modul-Gehäuses und damit auch dessen Abdeckung 8 bündig mit der Oberfläche des Wandbelags 3 ab. Dabei stoßen die Seitenwände des Unterputz-Montagekastens 1 und die Stirnseiten des Randflansches des Modul-Gehäuses fugenlos gegen die Stirnseite des benachbarten Wandbelages 3 (Fig. 2), wodurch eine Verfugung zur Abdichtung des eingebauten Lotionsspenders entbehrlich ist. Eine Wartungsfuge insbesondere in einem Nassraum wird somit vermieden, was ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Lotionsspenders ist.In the flush-mounting box 1, a built-in module 4 is used, the housing of which has an edge flange, as in Fig. 2 can be seen. Between the edge flange of the module housing is the cover 8, which is fastened to the module housing in a manner not shown, for example pivotable upwards by means of lateral bearing pins. The edge flange of the module housing covers the free ends of the flush mounting box 1, as well Fig. 2 can be seen. In the installed state of the built-in module 4, the edge flange of the module housing and thus also its cover 8 is flush with the surface of the wall covering 3. The side walls of the flush-mounted assembly box 1 and the end faces of the edge flange of the module housing hit the end face of the adjacent wall covering 3 ( Fig. 2 ), so that it is not necessary to seal the built-in lotion dispenser. A maintenance joint, in particular in a wet room, is thus avoided, which is a further advantage of the lotion dispenser according to the invention.
