Definitions
- the present invention relates to a leakage protection for a flush-mounted water dispenser and its use.
- Toilets by definition have a water flush and the most common solution involves a cistern for storing a sufficient SpĂĽlwasservolumens. Such a filling is discharged to an operating command through a flushing pipe in the toilet bowl, whereupon the cistern is refilled from a supply line.
- Modern cisterns usually consist essentially of an injection molded or blow molded plastic tank and in the past, ceramic cisterns were in use. Regardless of the choice of material cistern always has a certain residual risk of leakage. For example. For example, a small damage to the cistern may occur on the construction site or during the assembly process and remain undetected, which would result in concealed water leakage, in particular when flush-mounted cisterns are no longer visible after installation in a room wall.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a practical way for leakage protection of a flush-mounted water dispenser.
- a leakage protection for a flush-mounted water dispenser especially a concealed cistern for mounting in a room wall, a concealed flush valve, a concealed fitting or a flush-mounted mixing valve, with an opening forming an opening to the front and the concealed water dispenser below the side and rear surrounding protective wall
- Receiving the flush-mounted water dispenser and for collecting any leakage water from the flush-mounted water dispenser and provided on the protective wall flexible film seal which is designed to seal the transition of the protective wall to a front of the room wall surrounding the opening, and in one of the front opening in the protective wall outward position can be brought, and their advantageous uses.
- the invention relates generally to flush-mounted water dispensers, and esp. Concrete flush boxes, concealed flush valves, concealed fittings and flush-mounted mixing valves.
- the invention is based on an enclosure of the cistern in the form of a watertight protective wall, which surrounds the cistern down, laterally and rearwardly and forms an opening to the front.
- the orientation data relate while on the mounted state, where "forward” means pointing into the room and “back” the direction of the room in the wall of the room and finally "lateral” means the horizontal transverse directions thereto.
- the protective wall serves as a collecting container for any leakage water and is accordingly designed to be leak-proof, whereby it does not necessarily (but preferably nevertheless) have to reach the full height of the cistern and does not necessarily (but preferably nevertheless) surround the cistern also upwards.
- it is open at the front, at least to a substantial extent, in order to allow a corresponding access to the flushing cistern.
- this seal is provided at the bottom and laterally around the opening, preferably continuously up to the top and also to ensure that water from the protective wall can not run into the wall of the room.
- discharges for the leakage water from the protective wall within the room wall no restriction on the importance of tightness but on the contrary preferred.
- an electronic sensor for detecting a water level in the protective wall it may simply be desired to direct any leakage water through a pipe running inside the room wall into the room or into the toilet bowl, thus attracting attention and for repair to care.
- “Flexible” in the sense of this application and with respect to the seal means that change the seal without damage (eg., By breaking) in shape, so z. B. fold or fold down. Flexible is therefore “not dimensionally stable", in relation to forces to be applied by an installer by hand. It is important to be able to create the seal during assembly over corresponding edges in the room wall around or at the edges, so that there is a tight transition from the protective wall to the front of the room wall. The room wall front itself can then z. B. be treated waterproof or made of anyway waterproof material. As a rule, this front side is not the ultimately visible side but is otherwise covered.
- the flexible seal is pasted over in the folded state, z. B. with tiles, stone slabs, wood-based panels or the like.
- the room wall is waterproof coated under this glued wall paneling, at least in the vicinity of the cistern in the vulnerable areas.
- the advantage of the invention is that the front opening in the protective wall allows direct access to the cistern, preferably even allows replacement of the cistern through the opening. At the same time, the leakage protection function is unrestricted. It is also more flexible and reliable than z. B. in the prior art EP 2 821 557 A1 where according to FIG. 3 and the description of a dimensionally stable protective wall is simply sawed off plan to the room wall front. The remaining gaps must then probably be sealed with separate precautions and z. B. at slight sitting movements or other (for wooden houses quite typical) small movements endangered or leaking.
- the flexible seal according to the invention can, if required, also be transferred to the front of the room wall and fixed there, and in any case is much easier to adjust with respect to the direction perpendicular to the room wall plane (depth) and to small geometric deviations.
- it may preferably also serve to compensate for different thicknesses of a planking of the room wall, as described for the rigid protective wall in the cited prior art, but need not necessarily be cut off.
- the protective wall does not have to be flexible (but this can be the case in some cases), but is preferably made of dimensionally stable plastic, ie with the usual manual forces of a mechanic (apart from elastic reactions) not to be deformed substantially without material damage.
- dimensionally stable protective walls or shells are in some respects less vulnerable to injury, for example. If an already pre-assembled mounting frame accidentally falls over with a cistern and a protective wall on the site.
- the protective wall consists of a dimensionally stable plastic to which the flexible seal is attached.
- the leakage protection preferably additionally includes a leakage protection cover which is attached to the protective wall and which is suitable for a flush pipe which is usual per se from the cistern to the WC.
- this leakage protection cover is dimensionally stable and also preferably made of plastic. It is tightly attached to the bulkhead.
- an analogous further flexible seal is preferably provided at an opposite end of the enclosure, namely where the WC is connected. This can be tightly attached in a similar manner as previously explained for sealing the transition to the room wall or even at the toilet connection itself.
- the first alternative is preferred.
- the leakage protection enclosure of the flushing pipe can also serve as a leakage water line and in the bulkhead collected leakage water (or such leak from a flush pipe) lead to its front end. There, the leakage water can escape to the outside, either (preferably) on the floor of the affected room or in the toilet bowl.
- the leakage water can z. B. be continued in a drainage channel which extends between the back of the connected toilets and a room wall front, z. B. in an already provided there soundproofing plate in the form of a depression therein. Through this drainage channel, the leakage water then continue from the end of the leakage protection enclosure of the flushing pipe and z. B. reach the floor of the room. There, the water is discovered as a puddle and gives reason to correct the leak, or replace the leaked part.
- a fastening element for the cistern can be molded, preferably in the side walls, for. B. as rails for inserting the cistern from the front. These rails may also have locking devices that match the corresponding counterparts on the cistern (mounted there or molded) fit.
- the protective wall is preferably designed to be disposed between the cistern and a mounting frame for supporting the cistern and the WC in the room wall (and not outside the mounting frame).
- the protective wall can project beyond the mounting frame, in particular in the direction perpendicular to the wall plane; but preferably does not surround the mounting frame from the outside.
- the flexible seal is taken before installation in the front opening of the protective wall and thus protected to a certain extent, but at least not in the way of installation. It will then be turned out of the opening at the right time. This is particularly true in connection with a Bauschutzdeckel that covers the embarked seal before mounting in the front opening and preferably the entire front opening and is removed later.
- the leakage protection according to the invention may preferably be provided in a set with a suitable concealed cistern and particularly preferably together with an already matching front cover plate for the front opening of the protective wall.
- the cover plate can then z. B. overflowed or otherwise designed in a similar form as the rest of the room wall.
- the cover plate can be a common inspection opening in the area of flushing operation buttons included.
- the leakage protection and the cistern are provided in the set with a mounting frame and in turn preferably pre-assembled therein. The latter is not mandatory for the cover plate; instead, z. B. the building protection preassembled.
- the risk of leakage is further reduced by a rigid and non-detachable, preferably one-piece connection of the flushing pipe with the cistern.
- the front opening of the protective wall and the passage opening for the flushing pipe or the LeckagetikumhĂĽllung it be designed so that the cistern with the flush pipe advance into the front of the opening and then can bring with a tilting completely into this opening.
- the last step of the assembly movement can then z. B. be a postponement on the already mentioned molded rails.
- the disassembly is especially in connection with the leakage protection of interest because the occurrence of a leak then the need for repair or replacement.
- an already mentioned front cover plate of the opening of the protective wall can then be dismantled, for example by loosening corresponding fitting parts.
- the opening then preferably has a sufficient size to remove the entire cistern and to use a new or repaired can. This of course applies regardless of the question of the fixed connection with the flushing pipe and the question of whether the leakage protection also has an enclosure for the flushing pipe.
- the flexible seal in the folded state with wall cladding panels, z. B. tiles, is glued over, z.
- a narrow silicone joint is a limit between this Befliesung and the cover plate or a cover on the cover plate.
- the covering on the cover plate could also be a Befliesung (or otherwise identical continuation of the remaining wall paneling). Then, when the silicone joint or other partition is opened, the cover plate can be removed and the cistern repaired or replaced.
- a predetermined by the wall panel pattern, z. B. a tile grid does not have to be interrupted in a disturbing way.
- z For example, if the tiling extends across the cover plate, the silicone joint is between continuous tile plates, slightly outside the format of the actual cover plate.
- Fig. 1 shows a substantially box-like leakage protection cover 1 for a concealed cistern, the open front in Fig. 1 pointing forward to the right.
- This box-like casing 1 is formed from a dimensionally stable solid plastic as a protective wall and tightly connected to a flexible film material 2 completely surrounding the opening in the front side.
- Fig. 1 indicates suggestively that adjoins the box-like leakage protection 1 on its underside another and tightly connected to it leakage protection enclosure, which is provided for a flushing pipe to be included flushing cistern.
- This leakage protection cover bears the reference numeral 3 and terminates in the same front plane as the film seal 2 with a further annular film seal 4th
- substantially horizontally extending rails 5 are provided, one of which from the outside and one can be seen from the inside and serve for later insertion of the cistern.
- Fig. 1 shows the leakage protection for a better understanding of the following figures, in a state that only starting Fig. 5 is present, ie with folded to the sides of film seals 2 and 4.
- the delivery state is based on Fig. 3 and 4 explained.
- Fig. 2 shows the leakage protection Fig. 1 with a built-in concealed cistern 6 and a mounting frame 7 for mounting the cistern in and a toilet in front of a wall.
- the leakage protection 1 is provided between the cistern 6 and the mounting frame 7. Further penetrates the downwardly facing end of the leakage protection cover 3 of the flushing pipe a transverse support of the mounting frame 7, so that the film seal 4 is located in front of this carrier. Also, this condition corresponds to the following description only the Fig. 5 and not the delivery condition.
- Fig. 3 shows the mounting frame 7 with the leakage protection Fig. 1 mounted between vertical uprights 8 for a lightweight wall.
- This assembly is conventional with respect to the conventional mounting frame 7.
- the assembled unit additionally has a building protection plate 9 on the front, which in the Fig. 1 and 2 recognizable opening of the leakage protection 1 largely covers.
- the film seals 2 and 4 are taken (and the film seal 4 is in turn also protected by an essay).
- Bauschplatte 9 the delivery condition; in Fig. 3
- the delivered and preassembled ensemble of mounting frame 7, leakage protection 1 and concealed cistern 6 is mounted with Bauschutzplatte 9.
- the lightweight wall 10 can then be mounted on the vertical supports 8, such as Fig. 4 shows, with the protective wall 9 serves as a reference line or stop. After their removal then the film seals 2 and 4 turned over, like Fig. 5 shows, and can be glued, for example, on the lightweight wall 10.
- Fig. 6 shows next to this situation on the lightweight wall 10 leaning to the opening in a matching cover plate 11, are attached to the fitting parts 12, based on the Fig. 11 to 13 be explained in more detail.
- Fig. 7 shows how after mounting the cover plate 11 in the opening, the lightweight wall 10 has been tiled including the now flush with it cover plate 11.
- the tile layer has the reference numeral 13. It is provided on the outer contour of the cover plate 11 in the tiles a slot, in this example, the upper slot to a tile joint fits, but not the remaining three slots. These are realized by appropriate cuts in the tiles. All slots are then grouted with silicone. The tiles 13 are also glued to the folded film seals 2 and 4.
- Fig. 8 shows that around the SpĂĽlrohrstutzen and the drain pipe of the not yet visible toilets around a soundproofing plate 14 has been applied. This is conventional apart from a detail in itself. This detail is one of the SpĂĽlrohrstutzen from obliquely downwards (in Fig. 8 towards the bottom left) running gutter or depression 15.
- Fig. 9 the installation is then completed by a WC 16 and a conventional actuator plate 17 are mounted. If, in this situation, leaking should occur on the cistern 6 or its flushing pipe, the box-like leakage protection 1 or the corresponding enclosure 3 leads the corresponding leakage water in the case shown here in any case through the enclosure 3 of the flushing pipe to the flushing pipe outlet and allows it to drain through the channel 15. The water is thus visible next to the toilet 16 on the floor as a puddle.
- the user recognizes the presence of a leak.
- the user can then initiate a repair.
- the craftsman cuts open the silicone joint, which separates the tiles from the cover plate 9 from the rest, and applies, for example, a suction cup on the tiles on the cover plate 9.
- the cover plate can now be pulled out 12 forward due to the special design of the fitting parts 12, so that the cistern 6 is accessible.
- This can now be removed, including the flush pipe attached to it, by a tilting movement, which in Fig. 10 is indicated. He is conversely replaced by an intact cistern 9, whereupon the cover plate 11 is attached again, the silicone joint created again and the actuator plate 17 is mounted.
- the figures show a left upper fitting part, which corresponds to the left lower fitting part identical.
- the right-hand fittings are mirror-symmetrical (or simply mounted in reverse).
- Fig. 11 shows the fitting 12 mounted on the cover plate 11 on the one hand and on the mounting frame 7, namely a vertical strut thereof, on the other.
- the vertical strut 7 is, as already based Fig. 3 explained mounted on a vertical stand 8 of the drywall.
- This drywall 10 is already tiled, as the reference numeral 13 shows.
- the fitting 12 has mounted on the mounting frame 7 sheet metal part 20, on the one hand shows a U-shape and on the other hand, a from a Leg end of arm extending at right angles to the side.
- the other leg is screwed in the manner indicated via a screw on the mounting frame 7.
- the mentioned arm of the part 20 thus runs horizontally and in the plane of the cover plate 11. It contains an approximately rectangular notch into which a spring plate 21 is inserted.
- This spring plate 21 can be mainly based on the FIGS. 11 and 12 recognize well and has on the one hand a flat basic structure on the cover plate 11 facing away from the arm of the part 20, which bears against this arm. It is held by from this basic structure to the cover plate 11 at right angles projecting and then bent back at right angles outward claws, which include a reveal wall of the mentioned section in the arm of the part 20.
- the spring plate 21 can thus be pushed, for example, from above into this section and lock it. Further stand on the other side of the flat basic structure of the spring plate 21 V-shaped and with the respective tip facing each other claws 22 from.
- This screw 23 passes through a further part 24 of the fitting part 12, which in turn is attached to the cover plate 11.
- This attachment could be done by a simple screwing from the inside (not shown).
- the screw 23 passes through the cover plate 11 so that the screw head is mounted from the outside to the cover plate 11 and vice versa a sleeve 25 with a lying on the cover plate 11 side facing away from the part 24 on a shaft portion of the screw 23 with reduced diameter, so that the cover plate 11 and the part 24 are clamped between this flange of the sleeve 25 and the screw head.
- the further from the cover plate 11 part of the shaft of the screw 23 has an external thread into which the V-shaped claws 22 engage. If you the cover plate 11 according to Fig. 6 mounted, the part 20 is located on the mounting frame 7 and is the part 24 with the screw 23 on the cover plate 11.
- the cover plate 11 facing away from the shaft of the screw 23 has an external thread and is thus between the V-shaped parts 22nd pressed the spring plate 21, which give slightly elastic. So you can press in a latching or "ratcheting" movement under force the cover plate in the direction of the wall, the respective shafts of the screws 23 of all fasteners 12 engage accordingly. In turn, in a given position, turning the head of the screw 23 can cause a fine adjustment, because then the spring plate 21 works with its claws 22 like a nut.
- the figures also show a second screw 26, which passes through a further, likewise cover plate-parallel portion of the part 24, wherein this portion is slightly spaced from the cover plate inwardly.
- This screw is held by a further sleeve 27 in the part 24, which looks like the sleeve 25 in the figures, but has an internal thread for engaging an external thread of the screw 26.
- the screw 26 can thus be adjusted in the direction perpendicular to the wall by operating its outwardly facing (hexagon socket) head. As a result, the inner flat end of the screw 26 shifts between an outer adjustment position according to Fig.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 represent opening in the cover plate 11 are actuated as well as the screw 23 through a further opening.
- the screw 26 has been set meaningful, for example so that the cover is probably a little too far inserted until the screw 26 strikes, then no very far-reaching fine adjustment is more through Actuating the screw 23 necessary. But if, for example, by something unfortunate default of the screw 26 has come too far out into a stop, of course, the stopper can be slightly adjusted so that then make the correct fine adjustment.
- Fig. 13 is between the stand 8 of the lightweight wall and the support 7 of the mounting frame on the one hand and on the other hand, a cover plate 11 corresponding wall panel 30, a reinforcing layer 31 is provided, which can be compensated by the different setting of the screws 23 and 26.
- the screw 23 can be easily withdrawn from the engagement with the spring plate 21 with its external thread or groove portion namely with some effort. If no handle is mounted or a hole through which you can reach through with a tool or a finger, so you can easily put on the tiles or other cover the cover plate 11 and a suction cup. This then allows the later revision and / or the replacement of parts according to Fig. 10 ,
- the Befliesung 13 is marked, which covers the operating options for the screw heads.
- a one-time adjustment is made and then maintained.
- this is not absolutely necessary and in principle it is also possible to maintain access through the infiltration.

Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft einen WC-SpĂĽlkasten mit einer Leckageschutz-Schutzwand 6.The invention relates to a toilet cistern with a leakage protection protective wall. 6
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Leckageschutz für ein Unterputz-Wasserabgabegerät und dessen Verwendung.The present invention relates to a leakage protection for a flush-mounted water dispenser and its use.
WCs haben definitionsgemäß eine Wasserspülung und die häufigste Lösung beinhaltet einen Spülkasten zur Bevorratung eines ausreichenden Spülwasservolumens. Eine solche Füllung wird auf einen Bedienbefehl hin durch ein Spülrohr in die WC-Schüssel entlassen, woraufhin der Spülkasten aus einer Versorgungsleitung neu befüllt wird. Moderne Spülkästen bestehen in der Regel im Wesentlichen aus einem spritzgegossenen oder blasgeformten Kunststofftank und in der Vergangenheit waren auch keramische Spülkästen gebräuchlich. Unabhängig von der Materialwahl besteht bei Spülkästen immer ein gewisses kleines Restrisiko einer Leckage. Bspw. könnte eine kleine Beschädigung des Spülkastens auf der Baustelle oder während des Montagevorgangs auftreten und unentdeckt bleiben, was insbesondere bei nach Einbau in eine Raumwand nicht mehr sichtbaren Unterputzspülkästen eine verborgene Wasserleckage zur Folge hätte.Toilets by definition have a water flush and the most common solution involves a cistern for storing a sufficient Spülwasservolumens. Such a filling is discharged to an operating command through a flushing pipe in the toilet bowl, whereupon the cistern is refilled from a supply line. Modern cisterns usually consist essentially of an injection molded or blow molded plastic tank and in the past, ceramic cisterns were in use. Regardless of the choice of material cistern always has a certain residual risk of leakage. For example. For example, a small damage to the cistern may occur on the construction site or during the assembly process and remain undetected, which would result in concealed water leakage, in particular when flush-mounted cisterns are no longer visible after installation in a room wall.
Ähnliche Probleme stellen sich auch bei anderen Unterputz-Wasserabgabegeräten, z. B. Unterputzspülventilen, also Ventilen für eine Spülkasten-lose WC-Spülung, Unterputzarmaturen und Unterputzmischventilen.Similar problems arise with other flush-mounted water dispensers, z. B. flush-mounted flush valves, so valves for a cistern-less toilet flushing, concealed fittings and flush-mounted mixing valves.
Die beschriebenen unentdeckten Leckagen sind vor allem für Holzhäuser oder Holzelemente in Häusern hochproblematisch und können zu erheblichen Schäden führen. Daher sind zusätzliche Schutzmaßnahmen je nach betroffenem Land erwünscht oder sogar vorgeschrieben.The described undetected leaks are especially problematic for wooden houses or wooden elements in houses and can lead to considerable damage. Therefore, additional protective measures are desired or even required depending on the country concerned.
In diesem Zusammenhang gibt es unterschiedliche Lösungen in Form von mehr oder weniger vom Spülkasten entfernten Hartkunststoffschalen oder - umhüllungen, die das Wasser aus einem Leck z. B. auf den Badezimmerfußboden und damit in einen sichtbaren Bereich leiten sollen. Beispielhaft wird verwiesen auf die
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine praktische Möglichkeit für einen Leckageschutz eines Unterputz-Wasserabgabegeräts anzugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide a practical way for leakage protection of a flush-mounted water dispenser.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Leckageschutz für ein Unterputz-Wasserabgabegerät, insbesondere einen Unterputzspülkasten zur Montage in einer Raumwand, ein Unterputzspülventil, eine Unterputzarmatur oder ein Unterputzmischventil, mit einer eine Öffnung nach vorne bildenden und das Unterputz-Wasserabgabegerät unten seitlich und hinten umgebenden Schutzwand zur Aufnahme des Unterputz-Wasserabgabegeräts und zum Sammeln etwaigen Leckagewassers aus dem Unterputz-Wasserabgabegerät und einer an der Schutzwand vorgesehenen flexiblen Foliendichtung, die zum Abdichten des Überganges der Schutzwand zu einer Vorderseite der Raumwand, die die Öffnung umgibt, ausgelegt ist und dazu in eine von der vorderseitigen Öffnung in der Schutzwand nach außen gerichtete Lage gebracht werden kann, sowie deren vorteilhafte Verwendungen.This object is achieved by a leakage protection for a flush-mounted water dispenser, especially a concealed cistern for mounting in a room wall, a concealed flush valve, a concealed fitting or a flush-mounted mixing valve, with an opening forming an opening to the front and the concealed water dispenser below the side and rear surrounding protective wall Receiving the flush-mounted water dispenser and for collecting any leakage water from the flush-mounted water dispenser and provided on the protective wall flexible film seal, which is designed to seal the transition of the protective wall to a front of the room wall surrounding the opening, and in one of the front opening in the protective wall outward position can be brought, and their advantageous uses.
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche und generell im Hinblick auf alle Erfindungskategorien zu verstehen.Preferred embodiments are subject of the dependent claims and are to be understood generally with respect to all invention categories.
Im Folgenden wird der Einfachheit halber und stellvertretend nur noch von einem Spülkasten gesprochen, wobei sich die Erfindung jedoch ganz allgemein auf Unterputz-Wasserabgabegeräte, und insb. die konkret genannten Unterputzspülkästen, Unterputzspülventile, Unterputzarmaturen und Unterputzmischventile bezieht.In the following, for the sake of simplicity and representative only spoken by a cistern, but the invention relates generally to flush-mounted water dispensers, and esp. Concrete flush boxes, concealed flush valves, concealed fittings and flush-mounted mixing valves.
Die Erfindung geht von einer Umhüllung des Spülkastens in Form einer wasserdichten Schutzwand aus, die den Spülkasten nach unten, seitlich und hinten umgibt und nach vorn eine Öffnung bildet. Die Orientierungsangaben beziehen sich dabei auf den montierten Zustand, wobei "vorn" die in den Raum hineinzeigende und "hinten" die aus dem Raum in die Wand des Raumes weisende Richtung und schließlich "seitlich" die horizontalen Querrichtungen dazu meint. Die Schutzwand dient als Sammelbehältnis für etwaiges Leckagewasser und ist dementsprechend dicht ausgeführt, wobei sie nicht zwingend (allerdings vorzugsweise doch) die volle Höhe des Spülkastens erreichen muss und nicht zwingend (aber vorzugsweise doch) den Spülkasten auch nach oben umschließt. Sie ist aber erfindungsgemäß nach vorne offen, zumindest zu einem wesentlichen Teil, um einen entsprechenden Zugang zum Spülkasten zu erlauben.The invention is based on an enclosure of the cistern in the form of a watertight protective wall, which surrounds the cistern down, laterally and rearwardly and forms an opening to the front. The orientation data relate while on the mounted state, where "forward" means pointing into the room and "back" the direction of the room in the wall of the room and finally "lateral" means the horizontal transverse directions thereto. The protective wall serves as a collecting container for any leakage water and is accordingly designed to be leak-proof, whereby it does not necessarily (but preferably nevertheless) have to reach the full height of the cistern and does not necessarily (but preferably nevertheless) surround the cistern also upwards. However, according to the invention, it is open at the front, at least to a substantial extent, in order to allow a corresponding access to the flushing cistern.
Ebenfalls nach vorn weist die Schutzwand eine flexible Dichtung auf, mit der die Schutzwand im montierten Zustand gegen eine vordere Seite der Raumwand abgedichtet werden kann. Diese Dichtung ist jedenfalls unten und seitlich vorgesehen um die Öffnung herum, vorzugsweise durchgehend bis oben und auch oben, und gewährleistet, dass Wasser aus der Schutzwand nicht in die Raumwand laufen kann. Dabei sind natürlich Ableitungen für das Leckagewasser aus der Schutzwand innerhalb der Raumwand keine Einschränkung der Bedeutung der Dichtigkeit sondern im Gegenteil bevorzugt. Es kann nämlich statt zum Beispiel eines elektronischen Sensors zur Erfassung eines Wasserstandes in der Schutzwand auch einfach gewünscht sein, etwaiges Leckagewasser durch eine innerhalb der Raumwand verlaufende Leitung in den Raum oder in die WC-Schüssel zu leiten und damit Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen und für eine Reparatur zu sorgen.Also forward, the protective wall on a flexible seal with which the protective wall can be sealed in the assembled state against a front side of the room wall. In any case, this seal is provided at the bottom and laterally around the opening, preferably continuously up to the top and also to ensure that water from the protective wall can not run into the wall of the room. In this case, of course, discharges for the leakage water from the protective wall within the room wall no restriction on the importance of tightness but on the contrary preferred. Namely, instead of, for example, an electronic sensor for detecting a water level in the protective wall, it may simply be desired to direct any leakage water through a pipe running inside the room wall into the room or into the toilet bowl, thus attracting attention and for repair to care.
"Flexibel" im Sinn dieser Anmeldung und in Bezug auf die Dichtung bedeutet, dass sich die Dichtung ohne Beschädigung (z. B. durch Brechen) in ihrer Form verändern, also z. B. umlegen oder umklappen lässt. Flexibel ist also "nicht formstabil", und zwar in Bezug auf durch einen Monteur mit der Hand aufzubringende Kräfte. Es geht nämlich darum, die Dichtung bei der Montage über entsprechende Kanten in der Raumwand herum oder an die Kanten anlegen zu können, sodass von der Schutzwand aus bis zur Vorderseite der Raumwand ein dichter Übergang besteht. Die Raumwand-Vorderseite selbst kann dann z. B. wasserfest behandelt sein oder aus ohnehin wasserfestem Material bestehen. Diese Vorderseite ist aber im Regelfall nicht die letztlich sichtbare Seite sondern wird noch anderweitig abgedeckt."Flexible" in the sense of this application and with respect to the seal means that change the seal without damage (eg., By breaking) in shape, so z. B. fold or fold down. Flexible is therefore "not dimensionally stable", in relation to forces to be applied by an installer by hand. It is important to be able to create the seal during assembly over corresponding edges in the room wall around or at the edges, so that there is a tight transition from the protective wall to the front of the room wall. The room wall front itself can then z. B. be treated waterproof or made of anyway waterproof material. As a rule, this front side is not the ultimately visible side but is otherwise covered.
Aus dieser Funktion ergibt sich auch, dass die Dichtung nicht durch und durch flexibel sein muss, sondern z. B. Teile formstabil sein könnten, wenngleich das nicht bevorzugt ist.From this function also shows that the seal does not have to be flexible through and through, but z. B. parts could be dimensionally stable, although that is not preferred.
Vorzugsweise wird die flexible Dichtung im umgeschlagenen Zustand überklebt, z. B. mit Fliesen, Steinplatten, Holzwerkstoffplatten oder Ähnlichem. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Raumwand unter dieser aufgeklebten Wandverkleidung wasserfest beschichtet, jedenfalls in der Umgebung des Spülkastens in den gefährdeten Bereichen.Preferably, the flexible seal is pasted over in the folded state, z. B. with tiles, stone slabs, wood-based panels or the like. Preferably, the room wall is waterproof coated under this glued wall paneling, at least in the vicinity of the cistern in the vulnerable areas.
Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die vorderseitige Öffnung in der Schutzwand einen direkten Zutritt zum Spülkasten erlaubt, vorzugsweise sogar ein Austauschen des Spülkastens durch die Öffnung hindurch erlaubt. Gleichzeitig ist die Leckageschutzfunktion uneingeschränkt. Sie ist auch flexibler und zuverlässiger als z. B. im Stand der Technik
Die Schutzwand allerdings muss nicht flexibel sein (kann das aber im Einzelfall sein), sondern ist vorzugsweise aus formstabilem Kunststoff, also mit den üblichen Handkräften eines Monteurs (von elastischen Reaktionen abgesehen) nicht wesentlich ohne Materialschaden zu verformen. Wie der zitierte Stand der Technik an sich zutreffend ausführt, sind solche formstabilen Schutzwände oder Schalen in mancher Hinsicht weniger verletzungsgefährdet, bspw. wenn ein schon vormontiertes Montagegestell mit einem Spülkasten und einer Schutzwand auf der Baustelle versehentlich umfällt. Vorzugsweise besteht die Schutzwand aus einem formstabilen Kunststoff, an dem die flexible Dichtung angebracht ist.The protective wall, however, does not have to be flexible (but this can be the case in some cases), but is preferably made of dimensionally stable plastic, ie with the usual manual forces of a mechanic (apart from elastic reactions) not to be deformed substantially without material damage. As the cited prior art in itself correctly states, such dimensionally stable protective walls or shells are in some respects less vulnerable to injury, for example. If an already pre-assembled mounting frame accidentally falls over with a cistern and a protective wall on the site. Preferably, the protective wall consists of a dimensionally stable plastic to which the flexible seal is attached.
Ferner beinhaltet der Leckageschutz vorzugsweise zusätzlich eine an der Schutzwand angebrachte Leckageschutzumhüllung für ein an sich übliches Spülrohr von dem Spülkasten zu dem WC. Vorzugsweise ist auch diese Leckageschutzumhüllung formstabil und ebenfalls vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff. Sie ist an der Schutzwand dicht angebracht.Furthermore, the leakage protection preferably additionally includes a leakage protection cover which is attached to the protective wall and which is suitable for a flush pipe which is usual per se from the cistern to the WC. Preferably, this leakage protection cover is dimensionally stable and also preferably made of plastic. It is tightly attached to the bulkhead.
An einem entgegengesetzten Ende der Umhüllung, nämlich dort, wo das WC angeschlossen wird, ist vorzugsweise eine analoge weitere flexible Dichtung vorgesehen. Diese kann in ähnlicher Weise wie bereits zuvor erläutert zum Abdichten des Übergangs zur Raumwand hin oder auch am WC-Anschluss selbst dicht angebracht werden. Die erste Alternative ist bevorzugt.At an opposite end of the enclosure, namely where the WC is connected, an analogous further flexible seal is preferably provided. This can be tightly attached in a similar manner as previously explained for sealing the transition to the room wall or even at the toilet connection itself. The first alternative is preferred.
Die LeckageschutzumhĂĽllung des SpĂĽlrohrs kann ferner als Leckagewasserleitung dienen und in der Schutzwand gesammeltes Leckagewasser (oder solches aus einem Leck im SpĂĽlrohr) zu ihrem vorderen Ende fĂĽhren. Dort kann das Leckagewasser nach auĂźen austreten, und zwar entweder (vorzugsweise) auf den Boden des betroffenen Raums oder auch in die WC-SchĂĽssel.The leakage protection enclosure of the flushing pipe can also serve as a leakage water line and in the bulkhead collected leakage water (or such leak from a flush pipe) lead to its front end. There, the leakage water can escape to the outside, either (preferably) on the floor of the affected room or in the toilet bowl.
Das Leckagewasser kann z. B. in einem Ablaufkanal weitergeführt werden, der zwischen der Rückseite des angeschlossenen WCs und einer Raumwand-Vorderseite verläuft, z. B. in einer ohnehin dort vorgesehenen Schallschutzplatte in Form einer Vertiefung darin. Durch diesen Ablaufkanal kann das Leckagewasser dann von dem Ende der Leckageschutzumhüllung des Spülrohrs aus weiterlaufen und z. B. auf den Boden des Raumes gelangen. Dort wird das Wasser als Pfütze entdeckt und gibt Anlass, das Leck zu beheben, bzw. das leckgeschlagene Teil auszutauschen.The leakage water can z. B. be continued in a drainage channel which extends between the back of the connected toilets and a room wall front, z. B. in an already provided there soundproofing plate in the form of a depression therein. Through this drainage channel, the leakage water then continue from the end of the leakage protection enclosure of the flushing pipe and z. B. reach the floor of the room. There, the water is discovered as a puddle and gives reason to correct the leak, or replace the leaked part.
Wenn die Schutzwand formstabil ist, kann ein Befestigungselement für den Spülkasten eingeformt werden, vorzugsweise in den Seitenwänden, z. B. als Schienen zum Einschieben des Spülkastens von vorn. Diese Schienen können zudem Rasteinrichtungen aufweisen, die zu entsprechenden Gegenstücken am Spülkasten (dort montiert oder auch eingeformt) passen.If the protective wall is dimensionally stable, a fastening element for the cistern can be molded, preferably in the side walls, for. B. as rails for inserting the cistern from the front. These rails may also have locking devices that match the corresponding counterparts on the cistern (mounted there or molded) fit.
Ferner ist die Schutzwand vorzugsweise so ausgelegt, dass sie zwischen dem SpĂĽlkasten und einem Montagegestell zur Halterung des SpĂĽlkastens und des WCs in der Raumwand (und nicht auĂźerhalb des Montagegestells) angeordnet wird. NatĂĽrlich kann die Schutzwand insbesondere in der Richtung senkrecht zur Wandebene ĂĽber das Montagegestell hinausragen; sie umgibt aber vorzugsweise das Montagegestell nicht von auĂźen.Further, the protective wall is preferably designed to be disposed between the cistern and a mounting frame for supporting the cistern and the WC in the room wall (and not outside the mounting frame). Of course, the protective wall can project beyond the mounting frame, in particular in the direction perpendicular to the wall plane; but preferably does not surround the mounting frame from the outside.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist die flexible Dichtung vor der Montage in die vorderseitige Öffnung der Schutzwand eingeschlagen und damit in einem gewissen Mass geschützt, jedenfalls aber bei dem Einbau nicht im Weg. Sie wird dann zum richtigen Zeitpunkt aus der Öffnung heraus umgeschlagen. Dies gilt insbesondere in Verbindung mit einem Bauschutzdeckel, der die eingeschlagene Dichtung vor der Montage in der vorderseitigen Öffnung und vorzugsweise die gesamte vorderseitige Öffnung abdeckt und später abgenommen wird.According to a further embodiment, the flexible seal is taken before installation in the front opening of the protective wall and thus protected to a certain extent, but at least not in the way of installation. It will then be turned out of the opening at the right time. This is particularly true in connection with a Bauschutzdeckel that covers the embarked seal before mounting in the front opening and preferably the entire front opening and is removed later.
Der erfindungsgemäße Leckageschutz kann vorzugsweise im Set mit einem passenden Unterputzspülkasten und besonders bevorzugterweise auch zusammen mit einer bereits passenden vorderen Abdeckplatte für die vorderseitige Öffnung der Schutzwand vorgesehen sein. Die Abdeckplatte kann dann z. B. überfliest werden oder anderweitig in ähnlicher Form wie die übrige Raumwand gestaltet werden. Natürlich kann die Abdeckplatte eine übliche Revisionsöffnung im Bereich von Betätigungstasten für die Spülung enthalten. Besonders bevorzugterweise sind der Leckageschutz und der Spülkasten (und vorzugsweise auch die Abdeckplatte) im Set mit einem Montagegestell vorgesehen und darin wiederum vorzugsweise vormontiert. Letzteres gilt nicht zwingend für die Abdeckplatte; stattdessen kann z. B. der Bauschutz vormontiert sein.The leakage protection according to the invention may preferably be provided in a set with a suitable concealed cistern and particularly preferably together with an already matching front cover plate for the front opening of the protective wall. The cover plate can then z. B. overflowed or otherwise designed in a similar form as the rest of the room wall. Of course, the cover plate can be a common inspection opening in the area of flushing operation buttons included. Particularly preferably, the leakage protection and the cistern (and preferably also the cover plate) are provided in the set with a mounting frame and in turn preferably pre-assembled therein. The latter is not mandatory for the cover plate; instead, z. B. the building protection preassembled.
Bei einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Leckagegefahr zusätzlich durch eine starre und unlösbare, vorzugsweise einstückige Verbindung des Spülrohrs mit dem Spülkasten weiter vermindert. Dabei können die vorderseitige Öffnung der Schutzwand und die Durchtrittsöffnung für das Spülrohr oder die Leckageschutzumhüllung dafür so ausgestaltet sein, dass sich der Spülkasten mit dem Spülrohr voraus in die Vorderseite der Öffnung einschieben und dann mit einer Kippbewegung ganz in diese Öffnung hineinbringen lässt. Der letzte Schritt der Montagebewegung kann dann z. B. ein Aufschieben auf die bereits erwähnten eingeformten Schienen sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the risk of leakage is further reduced by a rigid and non-detachable, preferably one-piece connection of the flushing pipe with the cistern. In this case, the front opening of the protective wall and the passage opening for the flushing pipe or the Leckageschutzumhüllung it be designed so that the cistern with the flush pipe advance into the front of the opening and then can bring with a tilting completely into this opening. The last step of the assembly movement can then z. B. be a postponement on the already mentioned molded rails.
Insbesondere betrifft das aber auch eine spätere Demontage. Bei dieser kann dann der Spülkasten mit seinem oberen Teil voraus (gegebenenfalls aus einer Schiene heraus geschoben und) aus der Montagewand gekippt werden, um dann mit dem Spülrohr zuletzt herausgezogen zu werden.In particular, this also affects a later disassembly. In this case, then the cistern with its upper part ahead (possibly pushed out of a rail and) are tilted out of the mounting wall, to then be pulled out with the flush pipe last.
Die Demontage ist gerade in Verbindung mit dem Leckageschutz von Interesse weil sich bei Auftreten einer Leckage dann der Reparatur- oder Austauschbedarf ergibt. In diesem Zusammenhang kann dann eine bereits erwähnte vordere Abdeckplatte der Öffnung der Schutzwand abgebaut werden, etwa indem entsprechende Beschlagteile gelöst werden. Die Öffnung hat dann vorzugsweise eine ausreichende Größe, um den gesamten Spülkasten entnehmen und einen neuen oder reparierten einsetzen zu können. Dies gilt natürlich unabhängig von der Frage der festen Verbindung mit dem Spülrohr und der Frage, ob der Leckageschutz außerdem über eine Umhüllung für das Spülrohr verfügt.The disassembly is especially in connection with the leakage protection of interest because the occurrence of a leak then the need for repair or replacement. In this connection, an already mentioned front cover plate of the opening of the protective wall can then be dismantled, for example by loosening corresponding fitting parts. The opening then preferably has a sufficient size to remove the entire cistern and to use a new or repaired can. This of course applies regardless of the question of the fixed connection with the flushing pipe and the question of whether the leakage protection also has an enclosure for the flushing pipe.
Wenn in der bereits beschriebenen Weise die flexible Dichtung im umgeschlagenen Zustand mit Wandverkleidungsplatten, z. B. Fliesen, überklebt ist, kann z. B. eine schmale Silikonfuge eine Grenze bilden zwischen dieser Befliesung und der Abdeckplatte oder einer Verkleidung auf der Abdeckplatte. Die Verkleidung auf der Abdeckplatte könnte ebenfalls eine Befliesung (oder sonst identische Fortsetzung der übrigen Wandverkleidung) sein. Wenn dann die Silikonfuge oder eine andere Trennung geöffnet wird, lassen sich die Abdeckplatte entfernen und der Spülkasten reparieren oder austauschen.If in the manner already described, the flexible seal in the folded state with wall cladding panels, z. B. tiles, is glued over, z. As a narrow silicone joint is a limit between this Befliesung and the cover plate or a cover on the cover plate. The covering on the cover plate could also be a Befliesung (or otherwise identical continuation of the remaining wall paneling). Then, when the silicone joint or other partition is opened, the cover plate can be removed and the cistern repaired or replaced.
In diesem Zusammenhang kann es auch von Interesse sein, die Trennlinie zwischen dem Wandverkleidungsteil auf der Abdeckplatte (das abgenommen werden soll) und der übrigen Wandverkleidung oder auch die Trennlinie zwischen der Abdeckplatte selbst (wenn sie unverkleidet bleibt) und der übrigen Wandverkleidung geschickt so anzuordnen, dass ein durch die Wandverkleidung vorgegebenes Muster, z. B. ein Fliesenraster, nicht in störender Weise unterbrochen werden muss. Insbesondere kann z. B. bei einer über die Abdeckplatte hinweg verlaufenden Verfliesung die Silikonfuge zwischen ununterbrochenen Fliesenplatten liegen und dabei geringfügig außerhalb des Formats der eigentlichen Abdeckplatte.In this connection, it may also be of interest to arrange the dividing line between the wall covering part on the cover plate (which is to be removed) and the remaining wall covering or also the dividing line between the cover plate itself (if left unclad) and the remaining wall covering, that a predetermined by the wall panel pattern, z. B. a tile grid, does not have to be interrupted in a disturbing way. In particular, z. For example, if the tiling extends across the cover plate, the silicone joint is between continuous tile plates, slightly outside the format of the actual cover plate.
Wenn eine solche Abdeckplatte später abgenommen werden soll, kann es von großem Vorteil sein, angepasste Befestigungsmittel zu verwenden.If such a cover plate is to be removed later, it may be of great advantage to use adapted fasteners.
Die Erfindung wird nun zur Veranschaulichung beispielhaft beschrieben, wobei auch die Befestigungsmittel berĂĽcksichtigt werden.

Ferner sind an der Innenseite des Leckageschutzes eingeformte und im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufende Schienen 5 vorgesehen, von denen eine von außen und eine von innen zu sehen ist und die zum späteren Einschieben des Spülkastens dienen.Further, molded on the inside of the leakage protection and substantially horizontally extending

In jedem Fall erkennt der Benutzer das Vorliegen eines Lecks. Daraufhin kann der Benutzer eine Reparatur veranlassen. Der Handwerker schneidet die Silikonfuge auf, die die Fliesen vor der Abdeckplatte 9 von den übrigen trennt, und bringt zum Beispiel einen Saugnapf auf den Fliesen auf der Abdeckplatte 9 an. Nach der noch zu beschreibenden Demontage der Betätigungsplatte 17 kann nun die Abdeckplatte infolge der besonderen Ausgestaltung der Beschlagteile 12 nach vorne herausgezogen werden, so dass der Spülkasten 6 zugänglich ist. Dieser wiederum kann nun einschließlich des fest an ihm angebrachten Spülrohrs durch eine Kippbewegung entnommen werden, die in
Die Beschlagteile 12, die schon in Bezug auf
Das Beschlagteil 12 weist ein an dem Montagegestell 7 montiertes Blechteil 20 auf, das einerseits eine U-Form zeigt und andererseits einen sich von einem Schenkelende aus rechtwinklig zur Seite weg erstreckenden Arm. Der andere Schenkel ist in der angedeuteten Weise ĂĽber eine Schraube an dem Montagegestell 7 festgeschraubt.The fitting 12 has mounted on the mounting
Der erwähnte Arm des Teils 20 läuft also horizontal und in der Ebene der Abdeckplatte 11. Er enthält einen ungefähr rechteckigen Einschnitt, in den ein Federblech 21 eingesetzt ist. Dieses Federblech 21 lässt sich vor allem anhand der
Diese Schraube 23 durchsetzt ein weiteres Teil 24 des Beschlagteils 12, das seinerseits an der Abdeckplatte 11 befestigt ist. Diese Befestigung könnte durch ein einfaches Anschrauben von innen (nicht dargestellt) erfolgen. Beim vorgestellten Ausführungsbeispiel allerdings durchsetzt die Schraube 23 die Abdeckplatte 11 so, dass der Schraubenkopf von außen an der Abdeckplatte 11 gelagert ist und umgekehrt eine Hülse 25 mit einem auf der der Abdeckplatte 11 abgewandten Seite des Teils 24 liegenden Flansch auf einem Schaftabschnitt der Schraube 23 mit verringertem Durchmesser sitzt, so dass die Abdeckplatte 11 und das Teil 24 zwischen diesem Flansch der Hülse 25 und dem Schraubenkopf eingeklemmt sind. Der in den Figuren links davon sichtbare rechtwinklig nach vorn umgewinkelte kleine Arm des Teils 24 sichert dieses zusätzlich.This
Der von der Abdeckplatte 11 weiter entfernte Teil des Schafts der Schraube 23 weist ein Außengewinde auf, in das die V-förmigen Krallen 22 eingreifen. Wenn man die Abdeckplatte 11 gemäß
Die Figuren zeigen ferner eine zweite Schraube 26, die einen weiteren, ebenfalls abdeckplattenparallelen Abschnitt des Teils 24 durchsetzt, wobei dieser Abschnitt etwas gegenüber der Abdeckplatte nach innen beabstandet ist. Diese Schraube ist durch eine weitere Hülse 27 in dem Teil 24 gehalten, die in den Figuren aussieht wie die Hülse 25, aber ein Innengewinde zum Eingriff eines Außengewindes der Schraube 26 aufweist. Die Schraube 26 kann also durch Betätigung ihres nach außen weisenden (Innensechskant-) Kopfes in der Richtung senkrecht zur Wand verstellt werden. Dadurch verschiebt sich das innere flache Ende der Schraube 26 zwischen einer äußeren Verstellposition gemäß
Wenn also bei dem bereits beschriebenen Einführen des Gewindeschafts der Schraube 23 die Schraube 26 sinnvoll voreingestellt wurde, zum Beispiel so, dass die Abdeckplatte vermutlich ein klein wenig zu weit eingeschoben wird, bis die Schraube 26 anschlägt, dann ist danach keine sehr weitreichende Feineinstellung mehr durch Betätigen der Schraube 23 nötig. Wenn man aber zum Beispiel durch etwas unglückliche Voreinstellung der Schraube 26 noch zu weit außen in einen Anschlag gekommen ist, kann natürlich leicht die Anschlageinrichtung etwas verstellt werden, um dann die richtige Feineinstellung vorzunehmen.So if in the already described insertion of the threaded shaft of the
Insbesondere lässt sich damit mit einem oder wenigen Beschlagteiltypen Rücksicht nehmen auf unterschiedliche Wandstärken, vgl. dazu die
Aus dieser Schilderung ergibt sich auch, dass die Schraube 23 mit dem Federblech 21 und den jeweiligen Halterungen einerseits ein rastendes Befestigungselement und andererseits eine Einstelleinrichtung bildet.It also follows from this description that the
Man kann sich aber auch leicht vorstellen, dass die Schraube 23 ersetzt ist durch einen analog aufgebauten Bolzen, der aber statt eines Außengewindeabschnitts eine Serie paralleler Rillen (sozusagen mit Gewindesteigung 0) aufweist. Dann wäre die Einstelleinrichtung bei zum Beispiel ansonsten identischer Ausführung durch die Schraube 26 realisiert, denn diese könnte nach dem Anschlagen zur Feinjustage dienen. Dabei würden die V-förmigen Krallen 22 des Federblechs 21 von Rille zu Rille rutschen und einrasten.But you can also easily imagine that the
Unabhängig davon besteht ein ganz wesentlicher Vorteil der Befestigungselemente in der Lösbarkeit. Die Schraube 23 kann mit ihrem Außengewinde- oder Rillenabschnitt nämlich problemlos mit etwas Kraftaufwand wieder aus dem Eingriff mit dem Federblech 21 zurückgezogen werden. Wenn dazu kein Griff montiert ist oder ein Loch, durch das hindurch man mit einem Werkzeug oder einem Finger greifen kann, so kann man auf die Fliesen oder eine andere Bedeckung der Abdeckplatte 11 ohne Weiteres auch einen Saugnapf aufsetzen. Dies ermöglicht dann die spätere Revision und/oder den Austausch von Teilen gemäß
