Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung einer Sanitäreinheit insbesondere an einem Befestigungselement wie beispielsweise einer Wand eines Gebäudes.The invention relates to a device for fastening a sanitary unit, in particular to a fastening element such as a wall of a building.

Es ist bekannt, Sanitäreinheiten wie beispielsweise WC's an einer Wand zu befestigen. Innenwände von Gebäuden, insbesondere für Badezimmer, weisen regelmäßig nicht nur eine Grundwand auf (die beispielsweise mit gemauerten Steinen gebildet sein kann). Regelmäßig weisen derartige Wände darüber hinaus eine Vorwand auf, die von der Grundwand beabstandet angeordnet ist und mit dieser einen Hohlraum einschließt. In dem Hohlraum kann insbesondere ein Spülkasten vorgesehen sein. Die Vorwand kann beispielsweise mit Gipsplatten gebildet sein. Die Sanitäreinheit kann an derartigen Wandkonstruktionen insbesondere mittels eines Rahmens befestigt werden, der innerhalb des Hohlraums oder vor dem Hohlraum angeordnet ist. Derartige Rahmen sind regelmäßig mit Metallrohren gebildet. An Ecken des Rahmens sind die Metallrohre dabei üblicherweise auf Gehrung geschnitten. Die Herstellung solcher Rahmen erfordert insbesondere hinsichtlich der Ecken ein besonderes Maß an Genauigkeit. Das erfordert regelmäßig den Einsatz teurer Maschinen wie beispielsweise Laser. Auch sind regelmäßig umfangreiche Nacharbeiten an den auf Gehrung geschnittenen Rohren erforderlich, bevor diese genau passend zusammengefügt werden können.It is known to attach sanitary units such as toilets to a wall. Interior walls of buildings, in particular for bathrooms, regularly do not only have a base wall (which can be formed, for example, with brick stones). Such walls also regularly have a front wall which is arranged at a distance from the base wall and encloses a cavity with the latter. In particular, a cistern can be provided in the cavity. The pretext can be formed, for example, with plasterboard. The sanitary unit can be fastened to such wall constructions in particular by means of a frame which is arranged inside the cavity or in front of the cavity. Such frames are regularly formed with metal pipes. At the corners of the frame, the metal tubes are usually mitred. The manufacture of such frames requires a particular degree of accuracy, particularly with regard to the corners. This regularly requires the use of expensive machines such as lasers. Extensive reworking of the miter-cut tubes is also required on a regular basis before they can be put together exactly.

Die EP 0 731 226 A2 offenbart ein Vorwandinstallationselement mit einem Rahmen aus mindestens zwei aus Hohlprofilen gebildeten Vertikalstreben und mindestens einer aus einem Hohlprofil gebildeten Querstrebe. Die Ecken des Rahmens werden durch Ecksteckverbinder gebildet, die in die Vertikalstreben und die Querstrebe gesteckt sind. Weiterhin ist aus der DE 92 08 413 U1 eine rahmenförmige Haltevorrichtung zur Befestigung von sanitären Gegenständen bekannt, deren senkrechte Rechteckrohre mittels eingepresster Eckverbinder mit einem Querholmen verbunden sind.The EP 0 731 226 A2 discloses a pre-wall installation element with a frame made of at least two vertical struts formed from hollow profiles and at least one cross strut formed from a hollow profile. The corners of the frame are formed by corner connectors that are inserted into the vertical struts and the cross strut. Furthermore, from the DE 92 08 413 U1 a frame-shaped holding device for fastening sanitary objects is known, the vertical rectangular tubes of which are connected to a crossbar by means of pressed-in corner connectors.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der hier vorliegenden Erfindung, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Stand der Technik geschilderten technischen Probleme zu lösen bzw. zumindest zu verringern. Es soll insbesondere eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung einer Sanitäreinheit an einem Befestigungselement vorgestellt werden, die auf besonders einfache Weise hergestellt werden kann. Auch soll ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Vorrichtung vorgestellt werden.Proceeding from this, it is an object of the present invention to solve or at least reduce the technical problems described in connection with the prior art. In particular, a device for fastening a sanitary unit to a fastening element is to be presented, which can be produced in a particularly simple manner. A method for producing such a device is also to be presented.

Diese Aufgaben werden gelöst mit einer Vorrichtung, mit einem Verfahren und mit einer Verwendung gemäß den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Vorrichtung sind in den abhängig formulierten Patentansprüchen angegeben.These objects are achieved with an apparatus, with a method and with a use according to the features of the independent claims. Further advantageous refinements of the device are specified in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung einer Sanitäreinheit an einem Befestigungselement vorgestellt, umfassend einen mit mindestens einem Profilrohr gebildeten Rahmen mit mindestens einer Rahmenecke. An der Rahmenecke ist ein Verbindungsstück vorgesehen, das an der mindestens einen Rahmenecke angrenzende Abschnitte des mindestens einen Profilrohres überspannt. Das mindestens eine Profilrohr ist an der mindestens einen Rahmenecke an einer Trennstelle teilweise durchtrennt, wobei das mindestens eine Profilrohr an der Trennstelle so abgewinkelt ist, dass die Trennstelle eine Rahmenecke des mindestens einen Profilrohres bildet.According to the invention, a device for fastening a sanitary unit to a fastening element is presented, comprising a frame formed with at least one profile tube with at least one frame corner. A connecting piece is provided on the corner of the frame, which spans sections of the at least one profiled tube that adjoin the at least one corner of the frame. The at least one profile tube is partially severed at the at least one frame corner at a separation point, the at least one profile tube being angled at the separation point such that the separation point forms a frame corner of the at least one profile tube.

Die beschriebene Vorrichtung ist insbesondere zur Befestigung einer Sanitäreinheit wie beispielsweise eines Waschbeckens, eines WC's und/oder eines Urinals bestimmt und eingerichtet. Die Sanitäreinheit kann mit der beschriebenen Vorrichtung insbesondere an einer Wand eines Gebäudes befestigt werden. Besonders geeignet ist die beschriebene Vorrichtung für Wände, die eine Grundwand aufweisen (die beispielsweise aus gemauerten Steinen gebildet ist), an die ein Hohlraum anschließt, der von einer Vorwand (die beispielsweise mit Gipsplatten gebildet sein kann) abgeschlossen wird. Die beschriebene Vorrichtung und insbesondere der Rahmen der beschriebenen Vorrichtung sind bevorzugt in dem Hohlraum vorgesehen. Der Rahmen kann insbesondere mit der Grundwand und/oder mit der Vorwand verbunden werden. Die beschriebene Vorrichtung weist neben dem Rahmen bevorzugt insbesondere einen Spülkasten für ein WC auf.The device described is intended and set up in particular for fastening a sanitary unit such as a wash basin, a toilet and / or a urinal. The sanitary unit can in particular be attached to a wall of a building using the device described. The device described is particularly suitable for walls which have a base wall (which is formed, for example, from brick stones), to which a cavity adjoins, which is closed off by a front wall (which can be formed, for example, with plasterboard). The device described and in particular the frame of the device described are preferably provided in the cavity. The frame can in particular with the base wall and / or connected to the pretext. In addition to the frame, the described device preferably has, in particular, a cistern for a toilet.

Insbesondere eine Wand und Komponenten einer Wand (wie insbesondere die Grundwand) werden hier als Befestigungselemente bezeichnet. Auch Komponenten von Trockenbauwänden kommen als Befestigungselemente in Betracht. Der Begriff des Befestigungselements ist hier weit auszulegen und umfasst insbesondere alle Bestandteile von Gebäuden oder Komponenten solcher Bestandteile, an denen die beschriebene Vorrichtung und insbesondere der Rahmen der beschriebenen Vorrichtung zur Befestigung der Sanitäreinheit befestigt werden kann.In particular, a wall and components of a wall (such as in particular the base wall) are referred to here as fastening elements. Components of drywall are also considered as fasteners. The term fastening element is to be interpreted broadly here and includes in particular all components of buildings or components of such components to which the described device and in particular the frame of the described device for fastening the sanitary unit can be fastened.

Der Rahmen ist bevorzugt rechteckig ausgeführt. Dabei ist der Rahmen vorzugsweise auf allen vier Seiten durch ein (einziges) Profilrohr gebildet. Alternativ ist es bevorzugt, dass der Rahmen nur an drei Seiten durch ein (einziges) Profilrohr gebildet ist, während der Rahmen an einer vierten Seite (die vorzugsweise eine untere Seite des Rahmen ist) durch weitere Rahmenelemente (die auch weitere Profilrohre sein können) geschlossen ist. Als Rahmenecken sollen hier die Ecken des Rahmens bezeichnet werden, die durch Abwinkeln (also Umbiegen) des mindestens einen Profilrohres gebildet sind. Im Falle eines rechteckig ausgeführten Rahmens bilden die Ecken des Rechtecks die Rahmenecken. Bevorzugt verläuft der Rahmen außerhalb der Rahmenecken geradlinig. Bevorzugt ist das Profilrohr mit einem Metall und/oder mit einem Kunststoff gebildet.The frame is preferably rectangular. The frame is preferably formed on all four sides by a (single) profile tube. Alternatively, it is preferred that the frame is formed on only three sides by a (single) profile tube, while the frame on a fourth side (which is preferably a lower side of the frame) is closed by further frame elements (which can also be further profile tubes) is. The corners of the frame are to be referred to as frame corners here, which are formed by bending (ie bending) the at least one profile tube. In the case of a rectangular frame, the corners of the rectangle form the frame corners. The frame preferably runs in a straight line outside the frame corners. The profile tube is preferably formed with a metal and / or with a plastic.

Der Begriff des Rahmens ist hier weit auszulegen und umfasst insbesondere auch Teile von Rahmen. Ist beispielsweise ein Profilrohr an zwei Rahmenecken abgewinkelt, so dass das Profilrohr drei Seiten eines Rechtecks ausbildet (die an der vierten Seite beispielsweise durch ein weiteres Rahmenelement verbunden werden können), so soll auch dieses Profilrohr, das die drei Seiten ausbildet, als ein Rahmen bezeichnet werden. Auch ein Profilrohr, das nur an einer Rahmenecke abgewinkelt ist, soll hier als ein Rahmen bezeichnet werden, sofern das Profilrohr dazu bestimmt und eingerichtet ist, für einen Rahmen verwendet zu werden.The concept of the frame is to be interpreted broadly here and in particular also includes parts of frames. If, for example, a profile tube is angled at two frame corners, so that the profile tube forms three sides of a rectangle (which can be connected on the fourth side, for example, by a further frame element), this profile tube, which forms the three sides, should also be referred to as a frame become. Also a profile tube that is only on one corner of the frame is angled, should be referred to here as a frame, provided that the profile tube is intended and set up to be used for a frame.

Das Profilrohr ist bevorzugt hohl ausgeführt. Das Profilrohr weist bevorzugt zumindest im Bereich der mindestens einen Rahmenecke einen Querschnitt mit mindestens einer geraden Kante auf. Das ist insbesondere gegeben, wenn der Querschnitt rechteckig, quadratisch oder halbkreisförmig ist. Der Querschnitt kann außerhalb der mindestens einen geraden Kante eine beliebige Form aufweisen. Auch kann der Querschnitt des Profilrohres außerhalb der Rahmenecken beliebig gewählt sein. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, dass das Profilrohr durchgehend den gleichen Querschnitt aufweist. Ein solches Profilrohr ist regelmäßig einfacher herzustellen oder zu erhalten, wodurch eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung der beschriebenen Vorrichtung ermöglicht werden kann.The profile tube is preferably hollow. The profile tube preferably has a cross section with at least one straight edge, at least in the area of the at least one frame corner. This is particularly the case if the cross section is rectangular, square or semicircular. The cross section can have any shape outside the at least one straight edge. The cross section of the profile tube outside the frame corners can also be chosen as desired. However, it is preferred that the profile tube has the same cross section throughout. Such a profile tube is generally easier to manufacture or maintain, which enables a particularly cost-effective manufacture of the device described.

Dass der Querschnitt mindestens eine gerade Kante aufweist, ist insbesondere deshalb bevorzugt, weil dadurch die Rahmenecken besonders einfach durch Abwinkeln erhalten werden können. Zur Herstellung des Rahmens kann insbesondere ein einziges, gerades Profilrohr verwendet werden. Dieses wird an mindestens einer Trennstelle teilweise durchtrennt. Vorzugsweise wird das Profilrohr dabei mit Ausnahme einer der geraden Kanten beziehungsweise mit Ausnahme der einzigen geraden Kante des Querschnitts durchtrennt. An der so erhaltenen Trennstelle kann das Profilrohr abgewinkelt werden, so dass aus der Trennstelle eine Rahmenecke wird.It is particularly preferred that the cross section have at least one straight edge because the frame corners can be obtained particularly simply by angling. In particular, a single, straight profile tube can be used to produce the frame. This is partially severed at at least one separation point. The profile tube is preferably cut through with the exception of one of the straight edges or with the exception of the only straight edge of the cross section. At the separation point thus obtained, the profile tube can be angled so that the separation point becomes a frame corner.

Durch das teilweise Durchtrennen und Abwinkeln des Profilrohres kann dieses auf besonders einfache Weise in die Form des herzustellenden Rahmens gebracht werden. Für eine Verwendung des so erhaltenen Profilrohres als Rahmen für die beschriebene Vorrichtung kann die Stabilität des Profilrohres aber noch zu gering sein. Das liegt insbesondere daran, dass die an die mindestens eine Rahmenecke angrenzenden Abschnitte des Profilrohres nur an einem Teil des Querschnitts (an der einen geraden Kante, an der das Profilrohr nicht durchtrennt wurde) miteinander verbunden sind. Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität der Rahmenecken wird ein jeweiliges Verbindungsstück in die mindestens eine Rahmenecke eingesetzt. Das Verbindungsstück wird dabei derart in die jeweilige Rahmenecke eingesetzt, dass die an die Rahmenecke angrenzenden Abschnitte des Profilrohres durch das Verbindungsstück überspannt werden. Dabei meint Überspannen insbesondere, dass eine Lücke zwischen den Abschnitten durch das Verbindungsstück geschlossen wird. Das Verbindungsstück ist bevorzugt derart ausgeführt, dass die an die entsprechende Rahmenecke angrenzenden Abschnitte des Profilrohres durch das Verbindungsstück in einem bestimmten Winkel (insbesondere im rechten Winkel) zueinander gehalten werden. Das Verbindungsstück kann dazu insbesondere derart in die Rahmenecke eingesetzt werden, dass eine Vergrößerung des Winkels der Rahmenecke (also ein Auseinanderbiegen der Abschnitte des Profilrohres) unterdrückt wird. Um eine Verformung des Rahmens als Ganzes zu verhindern, kann es bereits ausreichen, nur das Vergrößern des Winkels der Rahmenecke zu unterdrücken. Bildet das Profilrohr beispielsweise drei Seiten eines rechteckigen Rahmens, so kann dieser Rahmen insbesondere verformt werden, indem der Winkel einer Rahmenecke vergrößert und der Winkel der anderen Rahmenecke verkleinert wird. Es ist aber auch bevorzugt, dass das Verbindungsstück mit einem oder mit beiden der angrenzenden Abschnitte des Profilrohres verbunden wird, insbesondere durch Kleben, Schweißen, Schrauben und/oder Einrasten einer Klickverbindung. Damit kann insbesondere auch eine Verkleinerung des Winkels der Rahmenecke verhindert werden. Das Verbindungsstück ist bevorzugt mit einem Metall und/oder mit einem Kunststoff gebildet. Insbesondere kann das Verbindungsstück durch Zink-Druckguss erhalten werden.By partially cutting and angling the profile tube, it can be brought into the shape of the frame to be produced in a particularly simple manner. However, the stability of the profile tube can still be used to use the profile tube thus obtained as a frame for the device described be too low. This is due in particular to the fact that the sections of the profiled tube which adjoin the at least one frame corner are connected to one another only at a part of the cross section (at the one straight edge at which the profiled tube was not severed). To increase the stability of the frame corners, a respective connecting piece is inserted into the at least one frame corner. The connecting piece is inserted into the respective frame corner in such a way that the sections of the profile tube adjoining the frame corner are spanned by the connecting piece. In particular, spanning means that a gap between the sections is closed by the connecting piece. The connecting piece is preferably designed such that the sections of the profile tube adjoining the corresponding frame corner are held at a certain angle (in particular at a right angle) to one another by the connecting piece. For this purpose, the connecting piece can in particular be inserted into the frame corner in such a way that an increase in the angle of the frame corner (that is to say a bending apart of the sections of the profile tube) is suppressed. To prevent deformation of the frame as a whole, it may be sufficient to suppress only the enlargement of the angle of the frame corner. If the profile tube forms, for example, three sides of a rectangular frame, this frame can be deformed in particular by increasing the angle of one corner of the frame and reducing the angle of the other corner of the frame. However, it is also preferred that the connecting piece is connected to one or both of the adjacent sections of the profile tube, in particular by gluing, welding, screwing and / or engaging a click connection. A reduction in the angle of the frame corner can thus be prevented in particular. The connecting piece is preferably formed with a metal and / or with a plastic. In particular, the connector can be obtained by die-casting zinc.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung ist das Profilrohr an der mindestens einen Rahmenecke in einem rechten Winkel abgewinkelt.In a preferred embodiment of the device, the profile tube is angled at a right angle on the at least one frame corner.

Insbesondere in dieser Ausführungsform ist es bevorzugt, dass der Rahmen rechteckig ausgeführt ist. Das Profilrohr kann dabei insbesondere drei Seiten oder alle vier Seiten des Rahmens ausbilden. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass nur eine rechteckige Rahmenecke vorgesehen ist. In dem Fall kann ein L-förmiger Rahmen erhalten werden, der insbesondere zusammen mit weiteren Rahmenelementen verwendet werden kann.In this embodiment in particular, it is preferred that the frame is rectangular. The profile tube can in particular form three sides or all four sides of the frame. However, it is also possible that only a rectangular frame corner is provided. In this case, an L-shaped frame can be obtained, which can be used in particular together with other frame elements.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung weist das Profilrohr einen rechteckigen Querschnitt auf.In a further preferred embodiment of the device, the profile tube has a rectangular cross section.

Profilrohre mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt sind besonders einfach herzustellen beziehungsweise können besonders kostengünstig erhalten werden. Bevorzugt weist das Profilrohr über dessen gesamte Länge den (gleichen) rechteckigen Querschnitt auf. Das rechteckige Profilrohr wird zum Erhalt der Trennstellen vorzugsweise an drei der vier Kanten des Querschnitts durchtrennt.Profile tubes with a rectangular cross section are particularly easy to manufacture or can be obtained at particularly low cost.

Auch kann das Verbindungsstück aus einem Material gebildet sein, das jedenfalls derart flexibel ist, dass das Verbindungsstück unter Aufwenden einer Kraft in den Abschnitt des Profilrohres eingeführt werden kann, so dass das Verbindungsstück durch Kraftschluss in dem Profilrohr gehalten wird. Ein solches Material für das Verbindungsstück kann insbesondere ein Kunststoff sein. Wird das Verbindungsstück derart in dem einen Abschnitt gehalten, kann dies bereits zur Stabilisierung des Rahmens ausreichen, weil das Verbindungsstück so ein Vergrößern des Winkels der Rahmenecke unterdrücken kann.The profile tube is preferably hollow on the inside. As a result, the connecting piece can be inserted into one of the sections of the profile tube adjacent to the frame corner. The connector can be connected to this section of the profile tube, for example, by gluing, welding, screwing and / or latching a click connection, so that the connector is held in this section. The connector can also be formed from a material which is in any case so flexible that the connecting piece can be inserted into the section of the profiled tube with the application of a force, so that the connecting piece is held in the profiled tube by frictional engagement. Such a material for the connecting piece can in particular be a plastic. If the connecting piece is held in one section in this way, this may already be sufficient to stabilize the frame, because the connecting piece can thus suppress an increase in the angle of the frame corner.

Dazu weist das Verbindungsstück die erste Öffnung auf, die insbesondere als eine Bohrung ausgeführt sein kann, die durch das Verbindungsstück verläuft. Durch die erste Öffnung kann der erste Befestigungsstift geführt werden, der insbesondere als eine Schraube ausgeführt sein kann. Dass die erste Öffnung senkrecht zu der Ebene des Rahmens ausgebildet ist, bedeutet insbesondere, dass der erste Befestigungsstift bestimmungsgemäß beim Befestigen des Rahmens an dem Befestigungselement senkrecht zu der Ebene des Rahmens durch die erste Öffnung geführt wird. Die Ebene des Rahmens wird von dem Rahmen und insbesondere von dem Profilrohr aufgespannt. In dieser Ausführungsform ist die beschriebene Vorrichtung insbesondere dazu bestimmt und eingerichtet, den Rahmen an der weiter vorne beschriebenen Grundwand einer Innenwand eines Gebäudes zu befestigen. Dabei kann die erste Öffnung insbesondere eine Verbindung zwischen dem Rahmen und der Grundwand ermöglichen, wenn der Rahmen und die Grundwand parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Dabei kann der Rahmen auch beabstandet von der Grundwand befestigt werden (beispielsweise, indem entsprechende Abstandshalter an dem ersten Befestigungsstift verwendet werden). Insbesondere in dieser Ausführungsform ist es bevorzugt, dass das Verbindungsstück mit beiden an die Rahmenecke angrenzenden Abschnitten des Profilrohres verbunden ist. Insbesondere dadurch kann der Rahmen über das Verbindungsstück fest mit dem Befestigungselement verbunden werden.The connecting piece can serve other purposes in addition to the stabilization of the frame described. In particular, the frame according to this embodiment of the described device can be connected to the fastening element via the connecting piece.
