- the plate (which could moreover be made in the form of a closed box or cassette simply comprising outlet orifices for the pipes) comprising all the control elements of the shower panel can thus be changed, when a control element is faulty or when you want to upgrade the shower panel.
- the cassette can be positioned only after the installation of the U-section of the panel, which further reduces the weight to be carried during the installation of the U-profile on the bracket fixed to the wall.
- the plate comprises at least one rim, preferably a peripheral rim going around the plate, in the form of a step, so that, when the plate of the insert is inserted by the inside a complementary shaped opening formed in the front wall of a shower panel, the rim abuts the inside edge of the opening.
- Access to the control means is thus possible only from inside the shower panel, which protects them against attempts at theft and/or "disassembly" or damage.
- the plate is fixed to the front wall at the level of the at least one rim.
- conduits or pipes are connected at one of their ends to a respective connector coming from the inner face of the added element and the other end of which is intended to be connected to the supply points and to the shower head and/or the hand shower.
- the shower panel comprises a housing 1 of substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape open at the rear and having a front wall 2 and two side walls 3 and 4 left and right.
- the housing 1 thus defines between the walls 2, 3 and 4 an open interior space on the side of the wall and which receives within it control elements of the shower, as well as the pipes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 connection between the hot and cold water supplies 5 and 6, the main shower head and the wall-mounted hand shower respectively and the mixer tap 28, the timer device 29 and the device 30 for selection between the shower (top) and the hand shower manual (bottom).
- the shower panel further comprises two crosspieces 8 and 9 in the form of an upper and lower plate respectively, which are fixed to the wall M by means of screws 10.
- the housing 1 comprises an element 14 forming an upper cover which closes the interior space defined by the front housing 1 on the top, the fixing of the upper cover 14 being carried out by means of screws at the level of the upper edges.
- the upper cover 14 could be in one piece with the walls 2, 3 and 4.
- the two crosspieces 8 and 9 further form with two vertical cylindrical rods 16 and 17 a support frame, the rods being mounted to slide relative to the two crosspieces 8 and 9 passing respectively through sockets 18.
- a lower cover 15 of suitable shape to close the case 1 from below is attached to the lower ends of the rods 16 and 17.
- Two stops 20 are integral with the rod 17 and prevent it from moving downwards beyond a certain limit.
- springs 21 are mounted along the rods 16 and 17 between the lower crosspiece 9 and the lower cover 15 secured to the rods 16 and 17.
- the rods 16 and 17 protrude beyond the upper crosspiece 8 in view to cooperate with the upper cover 14.
- the cooperation of the rods 16 and 17 with the upper and lower covers 14 and 15 can be seen in particular at the figure 8 , 8A and 8B .
- Two blind holes 32 and 33 protrude from the lower or inner face of the cover 14, the upper ends of the rods 16 and 17 being able to enter these holes 32 and 33 by pushing the lower cover 15 upwards, against the forces springs 21.
- the installer can apply upward pressure on the lower cover 15 against the springs to cause the rods to slide upwards and that the upper ends of the rods 16 and 17 enter the blind holes 32 and 33 until the upper edge of the lower cover 15 bears against the lower edges of the walls 2, 3 and 4 of the case 1. It is then possible , using a screw 45, block the panel in its position of use. When the screw 45 is unscrewed, the springs 21 return the rods 16 and 17 downwards, so that their ends come out of the blind holes 32 and 33, thus freeing the case to allow it to be opened by pivoting.
- the open box 1 consisting of the front wall 2, the side plates 3 and 4 and the upper cover 14, is pivotally mounted in the manner of a hinge on the two support elements 8 and 9 in form of crosspiece which are fixed to the wall M.
- Each intermediate element 40 is in the form of a bent plate having at each of its ends a respective sleeve 41 central and 42 side.
- the central sleeve 41 cooperates with the hinge 30 coming from the crosspiece 8, 9, while the lateral sleeve 42 cooperates with a lateral hinge 43 integral with the casing 2.
- the side hinge 43 is located inside the housing, close to the corner formed by the front wall 2 and the right side wall 4.
- the intermediate plate 40 is bent. It comprises a lateral section 50 extending from the lateral socket 42 to the elbow 51, then a central section 52 which extends from the elbow 51 to the socket 41 central.
- the central section 52 has a Y-shaped section, comprising a base part 53 therefore the section increases gradually and which ends by separating into two forks 54 and 55, which each extend to the side socket 42. This shape Y of the central section ensures greater resistance of the hinge which must withstand the weight of the case and the elements it encloses.
- the angled shape and/or the offset of the two hinges, respectively central and lateral, means that the case can perform a rotation greater than 90° before the right side wall comes to abut against the wall M, in particular a rotation of the order of 160°, which greatly facilitates installation.
- the two central hinges 30 protrude from the two crosspieces 8 and 9 substantially at the level of the middle of these two crosspieces.
- the user initially positions the wall frame consisting of the crosspieces 8 and 9, the two rods 16 and 17 and the lower cover 15 on the wall M by conventional means, in particular by screwing with screws 10 screwed into the wall. He then brings the rest of the panel, namely the box 1, to mount it by covering the two hinges 30 with the sockets 41 of the hinges 40. He can then connect the various pipes to their respective connection, either in the upper or lower part of the housing (as shown in the figures) or, according to another embodiment, at the rear of the housing. In addition, he can mount the box 1, either without the control plate 60, or with it. previously fixed to the panel.
- the plate 60 is removably mounted in an opening 61 formed in the front wall 2 of the box, so that it can be added after having installed the panel, which further simplifies the installation by having a panel particularly light to hold when positioning it on the wall.
- the installer only has to rotate the box 1 to bring it into correspondence with the lower cover 15 , then pushing the panel 15 upwards to cause the rods 16 and 17 to slide upwards so that they enter the corresponding blind holes of the upper cover 14 and on the other hand that the walls 2, 3 and 4 of the housing abut against the upper edge of the lower cover 15 to block any possibility of rotation of the housing which can then be blocked definitively by means of a screw 25.
- the housing, or the interior space defined by the U-section and the wall is thus closed.
- the materials and shapes of the various constituent elements of the panel, in particular of the frame, of the casing and of the hinges are chosen to ensure that in the open state of the casing ( figure 1 ) the housing is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical defined by the rods of the frame, for example by an angle of between 1° and 5°.
- the case, adapted to the frame In the closed position ( figure 7 ), is on the other hand parallel to the vertical defined by the rods. This inclination allows better stability of the case in the open state, in particular better resistance to stresses, thus avoiding untimely breakage at the level of the hinges.
- the plate 60 comprises a rectangular plate 63 of complementary dimension to the opening 61, extended by a rim 62 substantially all the way around the plate 63.
- the plate 63 adapts exactly to the opening while the peripheral rim 62 abuts against the inner edge of the opening. .
- the pipes 23 and 24 intended to be connected to the hot and cold water inlets in coming from the network are connected to the arrivals on the wall behind the panel between the two crosspieces, inside the frame.
- the pipes 23 and 24 intended to be connected to the hot and cold water inlets from the network are fixed to the upper crosspiece so as to protrude from the top of the panel, their fixing being carried out to then allow their connection to the inlets water from the network.
- each lug 80 has a screw 81 whose screwing towards the plate has the effect of increasing the pressure force of the lugs against the plate and thus locking the latter in position.

La au moins une charnière comporte un premier gond, respectivement une première douille, solidaire de l'élément support et un deuxième gond, respectivement une deuxième douille, solidaire du boîtier et un élément intermédiaire en forme de plaque comportant à ses extrémités deux douilles, respectivement deux gonds, pour coopérer avec les premier et deuxième gonds, respectivement les première et deuxième douilles.The at least one hinge comprises a first hinge, respectively a first sleeve, secured to the support element and a second hinge, respectively a second sleeve, secured to the housing and an intermediate element in the form of a plate comprising at its ends two sockets, respectively two hinges, to cooperate with the first and second hinges, respectively the first and second sleeves.
L'axe du premier gond, respectivement de la première douille, est décalé vers l'intérieur du boîtier par rapport à l'axe du deuxième gond, respectivement de la deuxième douille, pour permettre, lorsque le panneau est monté sur le mur, un débattement supérieur à 90°, notamment un débattement pouvant aller jusqu'à 160°, malgré la forme en U du boîtier.The axis of the first hinge, respectively of the first sleeve, is offset towards the inside of the case with respect to the axis of the second hinge, respectively of the second socket, to allow, when the panel is mounted on the wall, a movement of more than 90°, in particular a movement of up to 160°, despite the U-shape of the box.
En particulier, l'élément intermédiaire en forme de plaque est coudé, la concavité du coude étant tournée à l'opposé de l'espace intérieur défini par le boîtier.In particular, the intermediate element in the form of a plate is bent, the concavity of the bend being turned away from the interior space defined by the casing.
De préférence, l'axe du deuxième gond, respectivement de la deuxième douille, est sensiblement au niveau du fond du boîtier, à distance du bord de l'ouverture.Preferably, the axis of the second hinge, respectively of the second sleeve, is substantially level with the bottom of the case, at a distance from the edge of the opening.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les éléments de commande, par exemple un bouton-poussoir à temporisation, un bouton de réglage de la température, un levier de sélection de la douche/douchette manuelle, ainsi que leur raccord respectif aux tuyaux vers les points d'alimentation et vers le pommeau de la douche et/ou de la douchette manuelle, sont fixés ensemble sur un élément rapporté comportant une plaque auxiliaire formant platine reçue dans une ouverture correspondante formée dans la paroi avant du boîtier, la plaque auxiliaire pouvant être retirée facilement, notamment pour l'hivernage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control elements, for example a time delay push-button, a temperature adjustment button, a hand shower/hand shower selection lever, as well as their respective connection to the pipes to the supply points and to the shower head and/or the hand shower, are fixed together on an insert comprising an auxiliary plate forming a plate received in a corresponding opening formed in the front wall of the housing, the plate auxiliary that can be easily removed, especially for wintering.
Suivant un autre aspect avantageux de l'invention, indépendant de l'aspect précédemment mentionné, mais pouvant, de manière avantageuse, être mis en œuvre en combinaison avec celui-ci, un panneau de douche, notamment pour collectivité, destiné à être monté en applique sur un mur, comporte un boîtier, ayant une section en U définissant entre son ouverture et au moins une paroi avant un espace intérieur, dans lequel sont reçus les éléments de commande de la douche, notamment temporisés, ainsi que des tuyaux ou conduits pour connecter les arrivées d'eau chaude et/ou froide, les éléments de commande et au moins une sortie principale pour l'eau, notamment munie d'un pommeau de douche, et au moins un élément de support du panneau au mur destiné à être fixé au mur, par exemple deux traverses supérieure et inférieure, le boîtier ouvert étant monté pivotant par rapport au au moins un élément support. De préférence, l'élément support comporte un cadre support constitué de deux traverses horizontales inférieure et supérieure et de deux tiges verticales montées coulissantes par rapport aux deux traverses.According to another advantageous aspect of the invention, independent of the previously mentioned aspect, but which can advantageously be implemented in combination therewith, a shower panel, in particular for communities, intended to be mounted in applied to a wall, comprises a box, having a U-shaped section defining between its opening and at least one front wall an interior space, in which the control elements of the shower are received, in particular timers, as well as pipes or ducts for connecting the hot and/or cold water inlets, the control elements and at least one main outlet for the water, in particular fitted with a shower head, and at least one element supporting the panel to the wall intended to be fixed to the wall, for example two upper and lower crosspieces, the open box being pivotally mounted relative to at least one support element. Preferably, the support element comprises a support frame consisting of two lower and upper horizontal crosspieces and two vertical rods mounted to slide relative to the two crosspieces.
De préférence, un capot inférieur s'adaptant au bord inférieur du boîtier est fixé au cadre, notamment aux extrémités des deux tiges, de sorte que lorsque le boîtier est monté sur le cadre, le boîtier est fermé sur le dessous par le capot inférieur.Preferably, a lower cover fitting to the lower edge of the housing is fixed to the frame, in particular to the ends of the two rods, so that when the housing is mounted on the frame, the housing is closed on the underside by the lower cover.
De préférence, le boîtier comporte un capot supérieur fermant le boîtier sur le dessus.Preferably, the casing comprises a top cover closing the casing on the top.
De préférence, au moins une tige du cadre coopère avec au moins un trou borgne respectif formé dans le boîtier pour empêcher le pivotement du boîtier.Preferably, at least one rod of the frame cooperates with at least one respective blind hole formed in the casing to prevent pivoting of the casing.
La présente invention se rapporte aussi à un assemblage comportant un panneau de douche suivant l'une des revendications 4 à 11 et un élément de commande amovible ou platine comportant uniquement une plaque de base et des éléments de commande, par exemple un mitigeur, une vanne trois voies et un robinet temporisé, des éléments d'actionnement d'éléments de commande, par exemple un bouton rotatif pour régler la température, une manette de sélection entre une douche principale ou une douchette manuelle et un bouton poussoir de commande temporisée faisant saillie d'une première face extérieure de la plaque et les éléments de raccordement des éléments de commande associés pour le raccordement aux conduits/tuyaux vers l'alimentation en eau chaude ou froide, vers le pommeau de douche, la douchette.et analogue ainsi qu'entre eux faisant saillie d'une deuxième face intérieure de la plaque.The present invention also relates to an assembly comprising a shower panel according to one of claims 4 to 11 and a removable control element or plate comprising only a base plate and control elements, for example a mixing valve, a valve three-way and a timed tap, elements for actuating control elements, for example a rotary knob for adjusting the temperature, a selector lever between a main shower or a hand shower and a timed control push button projecting from 'a first outer face of the plate and the connecting elements of the associated control elements for the connection to the conduits/hoses to the hot or cold water supply, to the shower head, the hand shower and the like as well as to each other making projecting from a second inner face of the plate.
La platine (qui pourrait d'ailleurs être réalisée sous la forme d'un boîtier fermé ou cassette comportant simplement des orifices de sortie pour les tuyaux) comportant l'ensemble des éléments de commande du panneau de douche peut ainsi être changée, lorsqu'un élément de commande est défectueux ou lorsque l'on souhaite faire monter en gamme le panneau de douche. En outre, lors de l'installation d'un panneau suivant l'invention, on peut positionner la cassette uniquement après l'installation du profilé en U du panneau, ce qui diminue encore plus le poids à porter lors de la mise en place du profilé en U sur le support fixé au mur.The plate (which could moreover be made in the form of a closed box or cassette simply comprising outlet orifices for the pipes) comprising all the control elements of the shower panel can thus be changed, when a control element is faulty or when you want to upgrade the shower panel. In addition, during the installation of a panel according to the invention, the cassette can be positioned only after the installation of the U-section of the panel, which further reduces the weight to be carried during the installation of the U-profile on the bracket fixed to the wall.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, la plaque comporte au moins un rebord, de préférence un rebord périphérique faisant le tour de la plaque, en forme d'échelon, de sorte que, lorsque la plaque de l'élément rapporté est insérée par l'intérieur dans une ouverture de forme complémentaire formée dans la paroi avant d'un panneau de douche, le rebord vient buter contre le bord intérieur de l'ouverture.According to a preferred embodiment, the plate comprises at least one rim, preferably a peripheral rim going around the plate, in the form of a step, so that, when the plate of the insert is inserted by the inside a complementary shaped opening formed in the front wall of a shower panel, the rim abuts the inside edge of the opening.
L'accès aux moyens de commande n'est ainsi possible que par l'intérieur du panneau de douche, ce qui les protège contre des tentatives de vol et/ou de "démontage" ou détérioration.Access to the control means is thus possible only from inside the shower panel, which protects them against attempts at theft and/or "disassembly" or damage.
De préférence, la plaque est fixée à la paroi avant au niveau du au moins un rebord.Preferably, the plate is fixed to the front wall at the level of the at least one rim.
Suivant un mode de réalisation, des conduits ou tuyaux sont connectés à une de leur extrémité à un raccord respectif issu de la face intérieure de l'élément rapporté et dont l'autre extrémité est destinée à être connectée vers les points d'alimentation et vers le pommeau de la douche et/ou de la douchette manuelle.According to one embodiment, conduits or pipes are connected at one of their ends to a respective connector coming from the inner face of the added element and the other end of which is intended to be connected to the supply points and to the shower head and/or the hand shower.

Le panneau de douche comporte en outre deux traverses 8 et 9 en forme de plaque respectivement supérieure et inférieure, qui sont fixées au mur M par l'intermédiaire de vis 10.The shower panel further comprises two
Le boîtier 1 comporte un élément 14 formant capot supérieur qui ferme l'espace intérieur défini par le boîtier 1 avant sur le dessus, la fixation du capot 14 supérieur étant réalisée par l'intermédiaire de vis au niveau des bords supérieurs. Suivant un autre mode de réalisation possible, le capot 14 supérieur pourrait être d'une pièce avec les parois 2, 3 et 4.The
Les deux traverses 8 et 9 forment en outre avec deux tiges cylindriques verticales 16 et 17 un cadre de support, les tiges étant montées coulissantes par rapport aux deux traverses 8 et 9 en passant respectivement dans des douilles 18. Un capot 15 inférieur de forme adaptée pour fermer le boîtier 1 par le dessous est fixé aux extrémités inférieures des tiges 16 et 17.The two
Deux butées 20 sont solidaires de la tige 17 et l'empêchent dans son déplacement vers le bas au-delà d'une certaine limite. D'autre part, des ressorts 21 sont montés le long des tiges 16 et 17 entre la traverse 9 inférieure et le capot 15 inférieur solidaire des tiges 16 et 17. Les tiges 16 et 17 font saillie au-delà de la traverse 8 supérieure en vue de coopérer avec le capot 14 supérieur. La coopération des tiges 16 et 17 avec les capots 14 et 15 supérieur et inférieur peut être vue notamment aux
Ainsi, une fois que le boîtier 1 a été pivoté par rapport à la position de la
Comme on le voit aux figures, le boîtier 1 ouvert, constitué de la paroi 2 avant, des plaques 3 et 4 latérales et du capot 14 supérieur, est monté pivotant à la manière d'une charnière sur les deux éléments supports 8 et 9 en forme de traverse qui sont fixés au mur M.As seen in the figures, the
Deux gonds 30 cylindriques supérieur et inférieur font saillie verticalement respectivement des deux traverses 8 et 9 pour coopérer avec respectivement un élément 40 intermédiaire supérieur et inférieur. Chaque élément 40 intermédiaire est en forme de plaque coudée comportant à chacune de ses extrémités une douille respective 41 centrale et 42 latérale. La douille 41 centrale coopère avec le gond 30 issu de la traverse 8, 9, tandis que la douille 42 latérale coopère avec un gond 43 latéral solidaire du boîtier 2.Two upper and lower cylindrical hinges 30 project vertically respectively from the two
Le gond 43 latéral se trouve à l'intérieur du boîtier, à proximité du coin formé par la paroi 2 avant et la paroi 4 latérale droite. La plaque intermédiaire 40 est coudée. Elle comporte un tronçon latéral 50 s'étendant de la douille 42 latérale jusqu'au coude 51, puis un tronçon 52 central qui s'étend du coude 51 jusqu'à la douille 41 centrale. Le tronçon 52 central a une section en Y, comportant une partie de base 53 donc la section augmente progressivement et qui se termine en se séparant en deux fourches 54 et 55, qui chacune s'étende jusqu'à la douille latérale 42. Cette forme en Y du tronçon central assure une plus grande résistance de la charnière qui doit résister au poids du boîtier et des éléments qu'il enferme.The side hinge 43 is located inside the housing, close to the corner formed by the
La forme coudée et/ou le décalage des deux gonds respectivement central et latéral fait/font que le boîtier peut effectuer une rotation supérieure à 90° avant que la paroi latérale droite ne vienne buter contre le mur M, en particulier une rotation de l'ordre de 160°, ce qui facilite grandement l'installation. En particulier, comme on peut le voir aux figures, les deux gonds 30 centraux font saillie des deux traverses 8 et 9 sensiblement au niveau du milieu de ces deux traverses.The angled shape and/or the offset of the two hinges, respectively central and lateral, means that the case can perform a rotation greater than 90° before the right side wall comes to abut against the wall M, in particular a rotation of the order of 160°, which greatly facilitates installation. In particular, as can be seen in the figures, the two
L'installation d'un panneau suivant l'invention, comme représenté ci-dessus, est particulièrement simple.The installation of a panel according to the invention, as represented above, is particularly simple.
L'utilisateur dans un premier temps positionne le cadre mural constitué des traverses 8 et 9, des deux tiges 16 et 17 et du capot 15 inférieur sur le mur M par des moyens classiques, notamment par vissage par des vis 10 vissées dans le mur. Il apporte ensuite le reste du panneau, à savoir le boîtier 1, pour le monter en recouvrant les deux gonds 30 par les douilles 41 des charnières 40. Il peut ensuite brancher les différents tuyaux à leur raccord respectif, soit en partie haute ou basse du boîtier (comme représenté aux figures) soit, suivant un autre mode de réalisation, à l'arrière du boîtier. En outre, il peut monter le boîtier 1, soit sans la platine 60 de commande, soit avec celle-ci préalablement fixée au panneau. En effet, la platine 60 est montée de manière amovible dans une ouverture 61 formée dans la paroi 2 avant du boîtier, de sorte qu'il peut la rajouter après avoir installé le panneau, ce qui simplifie plus encore l'installation en ayant un panneau particulièrement léger à tenir lors de son positionnement sur le mur. Une fois le panneau monté sur charnière au cadre mural, la platine de commande installée dans le panneau et les tuyaux raccordés, l'installateur n'a plus qu'à faire pivoter le boîtier 1 pour l'amener en correspondance avec le capot 15 inférieur, puis à pousser le panneau 15 vers le haut pour faire coulisser vers le haut les tiges 16 et 17 pour qu'elles viennent pénétrer dans les trous borgnes correspondants du capot 14 supérieur et d'autre part que les parois 2, 3 et 4 du boîtier viennent buter contre le bord supérieur du capot 15 inférieur pour bloquer toute possibilité de rotation du boîtier qui peut ensuite être bloqué définitivement par l'intermédiaire d'une vis 25. Le boîtier, ou l'espace intérieur défini par le profilé en U et le mur, est ainsi fermé.The user initially positions the wall frame consisting of the
Dans l'exemple ci dessus, on a décrit des gonds cylindriques issus des traverses 8 et 9 qui coopèrent avec des douilles formées dans la plaque intermédiaire. Il va de soi que l'inverse peut être fait tout en restant dans le domaine de l'invention. On peut aussi le faire comme décrit ci-dessus pour l'un des éléments intermédiaires et de manière inverse pour l'autre élément intermédiaire. On pourrait aussi prévoir un gond et une douille sur l'élément intermédiaire, plutôt que deux douilles ou deux gonds.In the above example, cylindrical hinges from
D'autre part, les tuyaux de raccordement sont souples et effectuent les raccordements suivants :
- Tuyau 22 :
- raccordement entre le mitigeur 28 et le robinet temporisé.
Tuyau 23 ou 24 :- raccordement eau chaude ou eau froide avec le mitigeur 28.
- Tuyau 25 :
- raccordement entre le sélecteur 30 et la sortie d'eau principale vers le pommeau 7 de douche.
- Tuyau 26 :
- raccordement entre le sélecteur 30 et la sortie d'eau auxiliaire vers la douchette manuelle (non représentée).
- Tuyau 27 :
- raccordement entre le sélecteur 30 et le robinet temporisé 29.
- Hose 22:
- connection between the
mixer 28 and the timed tap. -
Hose 23 or 24: - hot or cold water connection with

- connection between the
selector 30 and the main water outlet to the shower head 7. - Hose 26:
- connection between the
selector 30 and the auxiliary water outlet to the hand shower (not shown). - Hose 27:
- connection between
selector 30 and timedvalve 29.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, on choisit les matériaux et forme des différents éléments constitutifs du panneau, notamment du cadre, du boîtier et des charnières pour faire en sorte que à l'état ouvert du boîtier (

Ainsi, lorsque l'on introduit la platine 60 par l'intérieur du boîtier 1 dans l'ouverture 61, la plaque 63 s'adapte exactement à l'ouverture tandis que le rebord 62 périphérique vient buter contre le bord intérieur de l'ouverture. Une fois le rebord 62 plaqué contre la face intérieure de la paroi 2 avant du boîtier, on fixe de manière amovible la cassette par des vis dans les trous 65 formés dans le rebord 62 à la paroi avant.Thus, when the
De la face extérieure de la plaque 63 font saillie le bouton poussoir 66 du robinet 29 temporisé de la douche, une manette 67 de sélection du sélecteur 30 entre la douche principale et la douchette et un bouton rotatif 68 du mitigeur 28 pour le choix de la température de l'eau.From the outer face of the
De la face intérieure de la plaque 63 font saillie, en correspondance avec le bouton 66, la manette 67 et le bouton 68, le reste du robinet temporisé, de la vanne trois voies et du mitigeur, notamment leur raccord respectif destiné à se raccorder aux tuyaux 22 à 27. On pourrait envisager de les enfermer dans un boîtier auxiliaire de protection ou cassette. Cependant, cela n'est pas une nécessité.From the inner face of the
Ainsi, seuls les boutons d'actionnement sont à portée de l'utilisateur et celui-ci ne peut pas tirer vers lui la platine, en raison de la butée du rebord 62 contre le bord intérieur de l'ouverture 61. Dans le même temps, il est très simple pour le propriétaire de la douche de remplacer un bouton défectueux et/ou de changer totalement de platine, en retirant simplement celle-ci par l'intérieur, après ouverture du boîtier 1.Thus, only the actuating buttons are within reach of the user and the latter cannot pull the plate towards him, due to the abutment of the
