Definitions

  • the invention relates to a superstructure for a drain located in the floor area of a washing or shower area, which is to be built into a wall element and has the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the superstructure structure comprises a cover box to be placed over the drain with a preferably closed rear wall, a ceiling wall and side walls connecting them.
  • the cover box has an underside which is open towards the drain and a front side which is open towards the interior of the washing or shower area for receiving a plate-shaped cover flap of the superstructure.
  • the cover flap has a first visible surface pointing outward in direction (R1), a second visible surface pointing inward in direction (R2) and a lower edge and, when installed, is oriented approximately perpendicular to a floor surface of the washing or shower area and is arranged in such a way that a drainage slot remains below the lower edge.
  • the cover flap and the cover box are detachably coupled to one another via a suspension of the superstructure.
  • the cover flap is movable about an axis of rotation.
  • Compatible guide elements are provided on the side walls of the cover box or on the cover flap, each of which is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the rear wall and / or top wall of the cover box and can be fixed to the cover box or on the cover flap with an adjustment element of the superstructure.
  • the suspension can be displaced via the first guide element in a direction perpendicular to the top wall and via the second guide element in a direction perpendicular to the rear wall.
  • the position of the cover flap is thus compared to the cover box, both in terms of their distance from the top wall and in terms of their distance from the rear wall, can be predefined and fixed with the setting element.
  • a superstructure of the aforementioned type is from the document DE 10 2011 051 496 B4 known to the applicant.
  • the known superstructure construction has proven itself, but there is a need to simplify the adjustment options of the suspension, because the height, depth and inclination must be precisely adjusted and possibly readjusted with a template and then fixed with screws.
  • the cover flap has two visible surfaces that can be used optionally. On the narrow sides of the cover flap, hanging hooks pointing to the rear wall of the cover box are arranged, with which the cover flap can be movably attached in a hanging device of the superstructure. Due to the rear-facing hooks, the cover flap is overall asymmetrical.
  • cover flap with attached suspension hooks can only be installed in the superstructure structure in a direction predetermined by the attachment of the suspension hooks. If the cover flap is to be used with its second, "hidden", for example ceramic, visible surface, the hooks have to be unscrewed, turned around and reinstalled in order to reveal the ceramic visible surface instead of the metal one.
  • hidden for example ceramic, visible surface
  • suspension hooks protrude relatively far beyond the visible surface of the cover flap, they have a certain elasticity that can impair exact alignment.
  • suspension point lies behind the center of gravity of the cover flap, so that the cover flap tends to be inclined in which its visible surface is not aligned with the surrounding wall.
  • the adjustment is relatively complex overall and can cause undesirable dimensional differences and inaccuracies in the gap surrounding the cover flap.
  • FR 2 916 458 A1 a drainage shaft known into which a sewer pipe opens.
  • a removable filter is attached to a filter holder at the mouth of the sewer pipe leading to the drainage shaft.
  • the filter has outwardly facing pins on its outer sides.
  • the filter holder has corresponding receptacles that are open at the top, so that the filter can be inserted into the filter holder from above and is held there. Since there are two pins on each side of the filter, the filter is fixed in the holder. In this respect, the pins do not form an axis of rotation around which the filter could perform a pivoting movement.
  • the bolts are arranged off-center, so that the filter can only be hung in the filter holder in a predefined orientation.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a superstructure construction in which the adjustment and fixing of the cover flap in the desired position relative to the cover box is simplified.
  • a problem-free attachment of the Cover flap can be guaranteed with the desired visible side without having to use tools.
  • the adjustability of the cover flap with respect to the cover box, the wall element and at the same time the floor area of the washing or shower area is achieved by interlocking and displaceable guide elements forming a suspension.
  • the distance between the cover flap and the rear wall of the cover box or the distance from the top wall of the cover box can be adjusted by means of the guide elements.
  • At least one guide element is designed in the form of a first guide carriage guided in the side wall of the cover box.
  • the guide elements are preferably designed as flat guide carriages which can be displaced both in the direction of the rear wall and in the direction of the top wall of the cover box in a plane arranged perpendicular to the rear wall.
  • the mentioned plane can be understood as an X-Y coordinate system in which one guide carriage can be moved in the Y direction and thus up and down and the other guide carriage in the X direction and thus forwards and backwards.
  • One of the guide carriages has a holder for the cover flap.
  • the cover flap can thus be suspended with its suspension hooks or bolts in the brackets provided on the guide carriage.
  • the guide carriages are freely accessible and can easily be adjusted so that the suspension points are exactly in the desired position. If the suspension points are in the desired position, the guide carriages and thus the suspension points are fixed. As a result, the cover flap can then be installed and removed as often as required and always takes the same position when it is attached.
  • the first guide element serves to adjust the position of the cover flap with respect to the cover box with regard to its distance from the ceiling wall.
  • a possibly provided second guide slide is preferably integrated into the first guide slide in such a way that the distance to the rear wall can be adjusted by means of the second guide slide.
  • the first guide element is used to adjust the position of the cover flap with respect to the rear wall.
  • an optionally provided second guide carriage for aligning the distance to the top wall of the cover box.
  • the position adjustment can be carried out with the aid of a single adjustment element built into the side wall.
  • a simple screw with a nut for example, can serve as an adjusting element.
  • the screw penetrates the two sliding guide carriages and couples them to the side wall of the cover box.
  • the screw can be mounted in a slightly loosened position in the first step, so that both guide carriages are only loosely held in their guideways and can be freely displaced in the guides in the X and Y directions.
  • the suspension point is then brought into the desired position by simply moving it back and forth, possibly supported by a stop template. Once this position has been established, the screw is tightened and the position of the guide carriage is fixed.
  • the side walls are preferably made of plastic as the support bodies carrying the suspension, for example as injection molded parts.
  • the cover plate preferably has two different visible surfaces, for example a ceramic and a metal visible surface.
  • the cover plate can be provided on its narrow sides with latching and stop elements protruding in the direction of the side walls, which, on the one hand, enable the cover plate to rotate about an axis of rotation and, on the other hand, ensure its vertical, stable alignment, so that the cover plate used with a surface of the wall element, for example, tile covering can be in alignment.
  • the latching elements protruding over the narrow sides of the cover plate can be rigid or flexible.
  • the cover flap can be held securely in a desired position on the one hand and, on the other hand, easily dismantled if necessary, e.g. to clean the drainage channel located inside the superstructure element.
  • a rigid latching element can be formed, for example, by a rigid bolt protruding from the side surface of the cover flap.
  • the latching function is implemented in this case in that the cover flap, which can be rotated about the axis of rotation of the suspension, makes contact with a bulge on the edge of a recess shortly before reaching its vertical end position. If the flap is rotated further, the bolt is guided along the bulge and the flap is raised a little. After overcoming the aforementioned bulge, the bolt engages in the depression behind the bulge due to gravity.
  • a flexible design of a locking element can be implemented in that the locking bolt is supported against a spring element in the direction of the narrow side and is thus linearly movable.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Überbaukonstruktion für einen im Bodenbereich eines Wasch- oder Duschplatzes liegenden Ablauf, welche in ein Wandelement einzubauen ist und die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 aufweist.The invention relates to a superstructure for a drain located in the floor area of a washing or shower area, which is to be built into a wall element and has the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Die Überbaukonstruktion umfasst einen über den Ablauf zu setzenden Abdeckkasten mit einer vorzugsweise geschlossenen Rückwand, einer Deckenwand und diese verbindenden Seitenwänden. Der Abdeckkasten weist eine zum Ablauf hin offene Unterseite und eine zum Inneren des Wasch- oder Duschplatzes offene Vorderseite zur Aufnahme einer plattenförmigen Abdeckklappe der Überbaukonstruktion auf.The superstructure structure comprises a cover box to be placed over the drain with a preferably closed rear wall, a ceiling wall and side walls connecting them. The cover box has an underside which is open towards the drain and a front side which is open towards the interior of the washing or shower area for receiving a plate-shaped cover flap of the superstructure.

Die Abdeckklappe hat eine in Richtung (R1) nach außen weisende erste Sichtfläche, eine in Richtung (R2) nach innen weisende zweite Sichtfläche und eine Unterkante und ist im einmontierten Zustand etwa senkrecht zu einer Bodenfläche des Wasch- oder Duschplatzes ausgerichtet und derart angeordnet, das unterhalb der Unterkante ein Ablaufschlitz verbleibt. Die Abdeckklappe und der Abdeckkasten sind über eine Aufhängung der Überbaukonstruktion lösbar aneinander gekoppelt. Die Abdeckklappe ist um eine Drehachse beweglich. An den Seitenwänden des Abdeckkastens oder an der Abdeckklappe sind zueinander kompatible Führungselemente vorgesehen, welche jeweils in einer senkrecht zur Rückwand und/oder Deckenwand des Abdeckkastens verlaufenden Ebene angeordnet und mit einem Einstellelement der Überbaukonstruktion an dem Abdeckkasten oder an der Abdeckklappe fixierbar sind. Die Aufhängung ist über das erste Führungselement in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Deckenwand und über das zweite Führungselement in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Rückwand verschiebbar. Die Position der Abdeckklappe ist somit gegenüber dem Abdeckkasten sowohl hinsichtlich ihres Abstandes zur Deckenwand als auch hinsichtlich ihres Abstandes zur Rückwand vordefinierbar und mit dem Einstellelement fixierbar.The cover flap has a first visible surface pointing outward in direction (R1), a second visible surface pointing inward in direction (R2) and a lower edge and, when installed, is oriented approximately perpendicular to a floor surface of the washing or shower area and is arranged in such a way that a drainage slot remains below the lower edge. The cover flap and the cover box are detachably coupled to one another via a suspension of the superstructure. The cover flap is movable about an axis of rotation. Compatible guide elements are provided on the side walls of the cover box or on the cover flap, each of which is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the rear wall and / or top wall of the cover box and can be fixed to the cover box or on the cover flap with an adjustment element of the superstructure. The suspension can be displaced via the first guide element in a direction perpendicular to the top wall and via the second guide element in a direction perpendicular to the rear wall. The position of the cover flap is thus compared to the cover box, both in terms of their distance from the top wall and in terms of their distance from the rear wall, can be predefined and fixed with the setting element.

Eine Überbaukonstruktion der vorgenannten Art ist aus der Schrift DE 10 2011 051 496 B4 der Anmelderin bekannt. Die bekannte Überbaukonstruktion hat sich bewährt, jedoch besteht der Bedarf, die Justiermöglichkeiten der Aufhängung zu vereinfachen, denn die Höhe, Tiefe und Neigung müssen passgenau eingestellt und eventuell mit einer Schablone nachjustiert und anschliessend mit Schrauben fixiert werden. Die Abdeckklappe weist zwei Sichtflächen auf, die wahlweise genutzt werden können. An den Schmalseiten der Abdeckklappe sind auf die Rückwand des Abdeckkastens zeigende Einhängehaken angeordnet, mit denen die Abdecklappe in einer Einhängevorrichtung der Überbaukonstruktion beweglich anbringbar ist. Durch die nach hinten weisenden Einhängehaken ist die Abdeckklappe insgesamt asymmetrisch. Das hat zur Folge, dass die Abdeckklappe mit anmontierten Anhängehaken nur in einer durch die Anbringung der Anhängehaken vorbestimmten Richtung in die Überbaukonstruktion einbaubar ist. Soll die Abdeckklappe mit ihrer zweiten, "verborgene", beispielsweise keramische Sichtfläche eingesetzt werden, müssen die Einhängehaken abgeschraubt, umgedreht und erneut einmontiert werden, um die keramische Sichtfläche anstelle der metallenen zum Vorschein zu bringen.A superstructure of the aforementioned type is from the document DE 10 2011 051 496 B4 known to the applicant. The known superstructure construction has proven itself, but there is a need to simplify the adjustment options of the suspension, because the height, depth and inclination must be precisely adjusted and possibly readjusted with a template and then fixed with screws. The cover flap has two visible surfaces that can be used optionally. On the narrow sides of the cover flap, hanging hooks pointing to the rear wall of the cover box are arranged, with which the cover flap can be movably attached in a hanging device of the superstructure. Due to the rear-facing hooks, the cover flap is overall asymmetrical. The consequence of this is that the cover flap with attached suspension hooks can only be installed in the superstructure structure in a direction predetermined by the attachment of the suspension hooks. If the cover flap is to be used with its second, "hidden", for example ceramic, visible surface, the hooks have to be unscrewed, turned around and reinstalled in order to reveal the ceramic visible surface instead of the metal one.

Da die Einhängehaken relativ weit über die Sichtfläche der Abdeckklappe hinaus ragen, weisen sie eine gewisse Elastizität auf, die eine exakte Ausrichtung beeinträchtigen kann. Außerdem liegt der Einhängepunkt hinter dem Schwerpunkt der Abdeckklappe, so dass die Abdeckklappe zu einer Schrägstellung tendiert in der ihre Sichtfläche nicht mit der umgebenden Wand fluchtet. Schließlich ist die Justierung insgesamt relativ aufwendig und kann unerwünschte Maßdifferenzen und Ungenauigkeiten des die Abdeckklappe umgebenden Spaltes verursachen.Since the suspension hooks protrude relatively far beyond the visible surface of the cover flap, they have a certain elasticity that can impair exact alignment. In addition, the suspension point lies behind the center of gravity of the cover flap, so that the cover flap tends to be inclined in which its visible surface is not aligned with the surrounding wall. Finally, the adjustment is relatively complex overall and can cause undesirable dimensional differences and inaccuracies in the gap surrounding the cover flap.

Weiterhin ist aus FR 2 916 458 A1 ein Abflussschacht bekannt, in welchen ein Kanalisationsrohr mündet. An der Mündung des Kanalisationsrohres zum Abflussschacht ist in einer Filterhalterung ein abnehmbarer Filter angebracht. Der Filter weist an seinen Außenseiten nach außen weisende Stifte auf. Analog hierzu weist die Filterhalterung entsprechende nach oben hin offene Aufnahmen auf, so dass der Filter von oben in die Filterhalterung einsetzbar ist und dort gehalten wird. Da an jeder Seite des Filters jeweils zwei Stifte vorgesehen sind, ist der Filter in der Halterung fixiert. Die Stifte bilden insofern keine Drehachse aus, um die herum der Filter eine Schwenkbewegung durchführen könnte. Weiterhin sind die Bolzen außermittig angeordnet, so dass der Filter nur in einer vordefinierten Ausrichtung in die Filterhalterung einhängbar ist.It is still off FR 2 916 458 A1 a drainage shaft known into which a sewer pipe opens. A removable filter is attached to a filter holder at the mouth of the sewer pipe leading to the drainage shaft. The filter has outwardly facing pins on its outer sides. Analogously to this, the filter holder has corresponding receptacles that are open at the top, so that the filter can be inserted into the filter holder from above and is held there. Since there are two pins on each side of the filter, the filter is fixed in the holder. In this respect, the pins do not form an axis of rotation around which the filter could perform a pivoting movement. Furthermore, the bolts are arranged off-center, so that the filter can only be hung in the filter holder in a predefined orientation.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Überbaukonstruktion vorzuschlagen, bei der die Justierung und Fixierung der Abdeckklappe in der gewünschten Position gegenüber dem Abdeckkasten vereinfacht ist. Außerem soll eine problemlose Anbringung der Abdeckklappe mit der gewünschten Sichtseite gewährleistet werden, ohne Werkzeuge benutzen zu müssen.The object of the invention is to propose a superstructure construction in which the adjustment and fixing of the cover flap in the desired position relative to the cover box is simplified. In addition, a problem-free attachment of the Cover flap can be guaranteed with the desired visible side without having to use tools.

Die vorgenannte Aufgabe ist mit einer Überbaukonstrukion mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The aforementioned object is achieved with a superstructure construction with the features of claim 1.

Weitere technisch vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further technically advantageous developments are described in the subclaims.

Die Justierbarkeit der Abdeckklappe gegenüber dem Abdeckkasten, dem Wandelement und zugleich der Bodenfläche des Wasch- oder Duschplatzes erfolgt durch ineinandergreifende und verschiebbare, eine Aufhängung bildende Führungselemente. Mittels der Führungselemente ist der Abstand der Abdeckklappe zur Rückwand des Abdeckkastens oder der Abstand zur Deckenwand des Abdeckkastens einstellbar.The adjustability of the cover flap with respect to the cover box, the wall element and at the same time the floor area of the washing or shower area is achieved by interlocking and displaceable guide elements forming a suspension. The distance between the cover flap and the rear wall of the cover box or the distance from the top wall of the cover box can be adjusted by means of the guide elements.

Erfindungsgemäß ist wenigstens ein Führungselement in Form eines in der Seitenwand des Abdeckkastens geführter erster Führungsschlitten ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist nicht nur ein Führungselement, sondern sind beide Führungselemente als Führungsschlitten ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise sind die Führungselemente als flache Führungsschlitten ausgebildet, welche sowohl in Richtung Rückwand als auch in Richtung Deckenwand des Abdeckkastens in einer senkrechten zur Rückwand angeordneten Ebene verschiebbar sind.According to the invention, at least one guide element is designed in the form of a first guide carriage guided in the side wall of the cover box. Preferably, not only one guide element, but rather both guide elements are designed as guide carriages. The guide elements are preferably designed as flat guide carriages which can be displaced both in the direction of the rear wall and in the direction of the top wall of the cover box in a plane arranged perpendicular to the rear wall.

Vereinfacht gesagt kann die genannte Ebene als X-Y-Koordinatensystem verstanden werden, in der der eine Führungsschlitten in Y-Richtung und somit nach oben und unten und der andere Führungsschlitten in X-Richtung und somit nach vorne und hinten verschiebbar ist. Einer der Führungsschlitten weist eine Halterung für die Abdeckklappe auf. Die Abdeckklappe ist somit mit ihren Aufhängehaken oder -bolzen in die an den Führungsschlitten vorgesehenen Halterungen einhängbar. Bei herausgebauter Abdeckklappe sind die Führungsschlitten frei zugänglich und können problemlos so eingestellt werden, dass die Aufhängepunkte exakt die gewünschte Position haben. Befinden sich die Aufhängepunkte in der gewünschten Position, werden die Führungsschlitten und damit die Aufhängepunkte fixiert. Im Ergebnis kann die Abdeckklappe danach beliebig oft ein- und ausgebaut werden und nimmt dabei im eingehängten Zustand immer wieder dieselbe Position ein.Put simply, the mentioned plane can be understood as an X-Y coordinate system in which one guide carriage can be moved in the Y direction and thus up and down and the other guide carriage in the X direction and thus forwards and backwards. One of the guide carriages has a holder for the cover flap. The cover flap can thus be suspended with its suspension hooks or bolts in the brackets provided on the guide carriage. When the cover flap is removed, the guide carriages are freely accessible and can easily be adjusted so that the suspension points are exactly in the desired position. If the suspension points are in the desired position, the guide carriages and thus the suspension points are fixed. As a result, the cover flap can then be installed and removed as often as required and always takes the same position when it is attached.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das erste Führungselement dazu dient, die Position der Abdeckklappe gegenüber dem Abdeckkasten hinsichtlich ihres Abstandes zur Deckenwand einzustellen. In diesem Fall ist ein gegebenenfalls vorgesehener zweiter Führungsschlitten vorzugsweise so in den ersten Führungsschlitten integriert, dass mittels des zweiten Führungsschlittens der Abstand zur Rückwand einstellbar ist.It can be provided that the first guide element serves to adjust the position of the cover flap with respect to the cover box with regard to its distance from the ceiling wall. In this case, a possibly provided second guide slide is preferably integrated into the first guide slide in such a way that the distance to the rear wall can be adjusted by means of the second guide slide.

Umgekehrt kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass der erste Führungselement dazu dient, die Position der Abdeckklappe gegenüber der Rückwand einzustellen. In diesem Fall dient ein gegebenenfalls vorgesehener zweiter Führungsschlitten zur Ausrichtung des Abstandes zur Deckenwand des Abdeckkastens.Conversely, it can also be provided that the first guide element is used to adjust the position of the cover flap with respect to the rear wall. In this case it is used an optionally provided second guide carriage for aligning the distance to the top wall of the cover box.

Von großem Vorteil ist, dass die Lagejustierung mit Hilfe eines einzigen in die Seitenwand eingebauten Einstellelementes durchgeführt werden kann. Als Einstellelement kann beispielsweise eine einfache Schraube mit Mutter dienen. Die Schraube durchdringt die beiden verschiebbaren Führungsschlitten und koppelt diese an die Seitenwand des Abdeckkastens. Besonders voreilhaft ist, dass die Schraube im ersten Schritt in leicht gelöster Stellung montierbar ist, so dass beide Führungsschlitten in ihren Führungsbahnen lediglich locker gehalten werden und in den Führungen in X- und Y-Richtung frei verschiebar sind. Durch einfaches Hin- und Herbewegen, ggf. unterstützt durch eine Anschlagschablone, wird dann der Aufhängepunkt in die gewünschte Position gebracht. Ist diese Position hergestellt, wird die Schraube angezogen und die Position der Führungsschlitten damit fixiert.It is of great advantage that the position adjustment can be carried out with the aid of a single adjustment element built into the side wall. A simple screw with a nut, for example, can serve as an adjusting element. The screw penetrates the two sliding guide carriages and couples them to the side wall of the cover box. It is particularly advantageous that the screw can be mounted in a slightly loosened position in the first step, so that both guide carriages are only loosely held in their guideways and can be freely displaced in the guides in the X and Y directions. The suspension point is then brought into the desired position by simply moving it back and forth, possibly supported by a stop template. Once this position has been established, the screw is tightened and the position of the guide carriage is fixed.

Vorzugsweise sind die Seitenwände als die die Aufhängung tragenden Tragkörper aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise als Spritzgussteile gefertigt.The side walls are preferably made of plastic as the support bodies carrying the suspension, for example as injection molded parts.

Die Abdeckplatte weist vorzugsweise zwei unterschiedliche Sichtflächen auf, beispielsweise eine keramische und eine metallene Sichtfläche. Die Abdeckplatte kann an ihren Schmalseiten mit in Richtung Seitenwände ragenden Rast- und Anschlagelementen versehen sein, welche zum einen eine Drehung der Abdeckplatte um eine Drehachse ermöglichen und zum anderen ihre vertikale, stabile Ausrichtung sichern, so dass die eingesetzte Abdeckplatte mit einer Oberfläche des Wandelementes, beispielsweise Fliesenbelag in Flucht liegen kann.The cover plate preferably has two different visible surfaces, for example a ceramic and a metal visible surface. The cover plate can be provided on its narrow sides with latching and stop elements protruding in the direction of the side walls, which, on the one hand, enable the cover plate to rotate about an axis of rotation and, on the other hand, ensure its vertical, stable alignment, so that the cover plate used with a surface of the wall element, for example, tile covering can be in alignment.

Die über die Schmalseiten der Abdeckplatte ragenden Rastelemente können starr oder flexibel sein. Mittels der Rastelemente kann die Abdeckklappe einerseits sicher in einer gewünschten Position gehalten und andererseits bei Bedarf, z.B. zur Reinigung der im Inneren des Überbauelements angeordneten Ablaufrinne, leicht demontiert werden.The latching elements protruding over the narrow sides of the cover plate can be rigid or flexible. By means of the locking elements, the cover flap can be held securely in a desired position on the one hand and, on the other hand, easily dismantled if necessary, e.g. to clean the drainage channel located inside the superstructure element.

Ein starres Rastelement kann beispielsweise durch einen starren, aus der Seitenfläche der Abdeckklappe hervorragenden Bolzen ausgebildet sein. Die Rastfunktion wird in diesem Fall realisiert, indem die um die Drehachse der Aufhängung drehbare Abdeckklappe kurz vor Erreichen ihrer vertikalen Endposition eine Ausbuchtung am Rand Rand einer Vertiefung kontaktiert. Wird die Klappe weiter gedreht, wird der Bolzen an der Ausbuchtung entlanggeführt und die Klappe hebt sich insgesamt etwas an. Nach Überwindung der genannten Ausbuchtung rastet der Bolzen schwerkraftbedingt in der hinter der Ausbuchtung liegenden Vertiefung ein.A rigid latching element can be formed, for example, by a rigid bolt protruding from the side surface of the cover flap. The latching function is implemented in this case in that the cover flap, which can be rotated about the axis of rotation of the suspension, makes contact with a bulge on the edge of a recess shortly before reaching its vertical end position. If the flap is rotated further, the bolt is guided along the bulge and the flap is raised a little. After overcoming the aforementioned bulge, the bolt engages in the depression behind the bulge due to gravity.

Eine flexible Ausführung eines Rastelementes kann realisiert sein, indem der Rastbolzen sich in Richtung Schmalseite gegen ein Federelement abstützt und somit linear beweglich ist. Als Gegenlager kann in der Seitenwand des Abdeckkastens bzw. in einem Führungsschlitten eine Bohrung vorgesehen sein. Bei Drehung der Abdeckklappe um die Drehachse stützt der Außenpunkt des flexiblen Rastbolzens sich solange an der Wandung des Abdeckkastens ab, bis die Position der Bohrung erreicht ist und das Ende des Rastbolzens durch die Federkraft in die Bohrung einrastet.A flexible design of a locking element can be implemented in that the locking bolt is supported against a spring element in the direction of the narrow side and is thus linearly movable. As a counter bearing can be in the side wall of the cover box or in a Guide carriage be provided a bore. When the cover flap is rotated about the axis of rotation, the outer point of the flexible locking bolt is supported on the wall of the cover box until the position of the hole is reached and the end of the locking bolt engages in the hole due to the spring force.

Vorzugsweise sind die Enden bzw. Schmalseiten der Abdeckplatte sowie ihre Sichtflächen zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut. Ebenso sind Seitenwände des Abdeckkastens mit ihren Führungsschlitten und Einstellelementen zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut. Dies ermöglicht ein einfaches Wechseln der Sichtfläche durch Umlegen und erneutes Einsetzen der Abdeckplatte in die Aufhängung der Seitenwände.The ends or narrow sides of the cover plate and their visible surfaces are preferably constructed with mirror symmetry to one another. Likewise, the side walls of the cover box with their guide carriages and setting elements are designed to be mirror-symmetrical to one another. This enables the visible surface to be changed easily by turning over and reinserting the cover plate in the suspension of the side walls.

Gleiche oder ähnliche Elemente können in den nachfolgenden Figuren mit gleichen oder ähnlichen Bezugszeichen versehen sein. Ferner enthalten die Figuren der Zeichnung, deren Beschreibung sowie die Ansprüche zahlreiche Merkmale in Kombination. Einem Fachmann ist dabei klar, dass diese Merkmale auch einzeln betrachtet werden oder sie zu weiteren, hier nicht näher beschriebenen Kombinationen zusammengeführt werden können.Identical or similar elements can be provided with the same or similar reference symbols in the following figures. Furthermore, the figures of the drawing contain their description as well as the claims numerous features in combination. It is clear to a person skilled in the art that these features can also be considered individually or they can be combined to form further combinations not described in greater detail here.

In Fig. 1 ist in getrennter Darstellung ein Duschplatz 50 in ebenerdiger Ausführung (ohne Seitenwände) schematisch gezeigt, umfassend ein Wandelement 11 und eine Duschplatte 49, welche werkseitig mit einer Rinne 51 und nicht gezeigten Ablaufinstallationselementen für eine an sich bekannte Linienentwässerung versehen ist. Das in einen Abdeckkasten 16 auslaufende Wandelement 11 sowie die Duschplatte 49 können mit Keramik- oder Kunststoffbelägen bedeckt werden. Der Abdeckkasten 16 kann eine Gesamtbreite haben, die kleiner ist als die des Wandelementes 11, so dass er in eine rechteckige Aussparung an der unteren Kante des Wandelementes 11 hineinpasst. Eine andere Ausführung sieht vor, dass die Gesamtbreite des Abdeckkastens 16 und des Wandelementes 11 gleich ist. Der Fig. 1 ist weiterhin eine mit Strichlinien gezeigte Projektion 52 des Wandelementes 11 auf die Duschplatte 49 zu entnehmen. Die Überbaukonstruktion 100 erlaubt es, auf die Rostelemente im Trittbereich zu verzichten.In Fig. 1 a shower area 50 is shown schematically in a separate representation in a ground-level version (without side walls), comprising a wall element 11 and a shower plate 49, which is provided at the factory with a channel 51 and drain installation elements (not shown) for a line drainage known per se. The wall element 11 ending in a cover box 16 and the shower tray 49 can be covered with ceramic or plastic coverings. The cover box 16 can have an overall width which is smaller than that of the wall element 11, so that it fits into a rectangular recess on the lower edge of the wall element 11. Another embodiment provides that the total width of the cover box 16 and the wall element 11 is the same. The Fig. 1 a projection 52, shown with dashed lines, of the wall element 11 onto the shower tray 49 can also be seen. The superstructure construction 100 makes it possible to dispense with the grate elements in the step area.

Die Fig. 6a und 6b zeigen eine Überbaukonstruktion 100, umfassend den in das Wandelement 11 eingebauten Abdeckkasten 16 mit einer dort eingehängten Abdeckklappe 20. Die Überbaukonstruktion 100 deckt einen schematisch angedeuteten Ablauf 10 und zugleich die Rinne 51 ab. Die Figuren 6a und 6b unterscheiden sich durch die Lage, in der die Abdeckklappe angebracht ist. In Fig. 6a ist die Abdeckklappe 20 mit in Richtung R1 weisender und damit vom Duschplatz aus sichtbarer Sichtfläche 24 angebracht, während in Fig. 6b die Sichtfläche 24' in Richtung R1 weist und damit sichtbar ist.The Figure 6a and 6b show a superstructure construction 100, comprising the cover box 16 built into the wall element 11 with a cover flap 20 suspended there. The superstructure construction 100 covers a schematically indicated drain 10 and at the same time the channel 51. The Figures 6a and 6b differ in the position in which the cover flap is attached. In Figure 6a the cover flap 20 is attached with the visible surface 24 pointing in the direction R1 and thus visible from the shower area, while in FIG Figure 6b the visible surface 24 'points in the direction R1 and is thus visible.

Die Elemente der Überbaukonstruktion 100 sind auch in Fig. 2 zu sehen. Der dort dargestellte Abdeckkasten 16 setzt sich aus einer metallenen Rückwand 17, einer metallenen Deckenwand 19 und zwei zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch angeordneten Seitenwänden 18, 18' zusammen. Der Abdeckkasten 16 weist eine zum Ablauf 10 hin offene Unterseite 12 und eine zum Inneren des Duschplatzes 50 offene Vorderseite 13 zur Aufnahme der besagten Abdeckklappe 20 (vgl. Fig. 6a und 6b) auf.The elements of the superstructure 100 are also shown in Fig. 2 to see. The cover box 16 shown there is composed of a metal rear wall 17, a metal top wall 19 and two side walls 18, 18 'arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another. The cover box 16 has an underside 12 which is open towards the drain 10 and a front side 13 which is open towards the interior of the shower space 50 for receiving the said cover flap 20 (cf. Figure 6a and 6b ) on.

Die Seitenwand 18, 18' (vgl. Figuren 3 und 5) umfasst einen aus Kunststoff gefertigten, rechteckigen Tragkörper 53 mit plattenförmigen, aufschraubbaren Deckel 36, sowie ein erstes und zweites Führungselement 31; 32. Anstelle eines zweiteiligen Aufbaus aus Tragkörper 53 und aufgeschraubtem Deckels 36 kann auch eine einstückige Ausführung vorsgesehen sein, bei der das Deckelelement in den Tragkörper 53 integriert ist.The side wall 18, 18 '(cf. Figures 3 and 5 ) comprises a rectangular support body 53 made of plastic with a plate-shaped, screw-on cover 36, as well as a first and second guide element 31; 32. Instead of a two-part structure consisting of a support body 53 and a screwed-on cover 36, a one-piece design can also be provided in which the cover element is integrated into the support body 53.

Der Deckel 36 passt in eine rechteckige, langgestreckte Vertiefung 39 des Tragkörpers 53 hinein und ist dort über nicht gezeigte Senkkopfschrauben befestigbar. Zu dem Zweck weist der Deckel 36 sechs mit Öffnungen 55 des Tragkörpers 53 koinzidierende Öffnungen 54 auf. Zwischen den Öffnungen 54 des Deckels 36 verläuft ein Langloch 33 und dementsprechend zwischen den Öffnungen 55 des Tragkörpers 53 eine Führungsnut 34, in welcher eine Mutter 38 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. In die Mutter 38 ist eine in Fig. 2 gezeigte Schraube 37 eingedreht, deren Funktion noch beschrieben werden wird.The cover 36 fits into a rectangular, elongated recess 39 of the support body 53 and can be fastened there by means of countersunk screws (not shown). For this purpose, the cover 36 has six with openings 55 of the support body 53 coinciding Openings 54 on. An elongated hole 33 runs between the openings 54 of the cover 36 and, accordingly, a guide groove 34 between the openings 55 of the support body 53, in which a nut 38 is displaceably arranged. In the mother 38 is an in Fig. 2 The screw 37 shown is screwed in, the function of which will be described later.

Die Vertiefung 39 des Tragkörpers 53 ist durch zwei Führungskanten 48, 48' begrenzt, welche den eingesetzten Deckel 36 etwas überragen und dadurch eine U-förmige Führung für ein in den Figuren 3 und 5 gezeigtes, über den Deckel 36 gleitend bewegliches erstes Führungselement 31 ausbilden. Das flache erste Führungselement 31 weist zwei seitliche, längliche Vorsprünge 56 sowie eine Bohrung 29 auf und bildet einen ersten Führungsschlitten 41 aus. Die länglichen Vorsprünge 56 bilden wiederum eine Führung für ein zweites, in das erste Führungselement greifendes, plattenförmiges Führungselement 32 aus.The recess 39 of the support body 53 is limited by two guide edges 48, 48 ', which protrude slightly beyond the inserted cover 36 and thereby provide a U-shaped guide for a in the Figures 3 and 5 Form the first guide element 31 shown, slidingly movable over the cover 36. The flat first guide element 31 has two lateral, elongated projections 56 and a bore 29 and forms a first guide carriage 41. The elongated projections 56 in turn form a guide for a second plate-shaped guide element 32 that engages in the first guide element.

Das zweite Führungselement 32 (vgl. Figuren 3 bis 5) hat einen rechteckigen Umriss und weist folgende Einzelheiten auf:

  • eine tiefe U-förmige Aussparung 57, welche einerseits von einem Stützarm 58 und andererseits von einem Hängearm 59 für die Abdeckklappe 20 begrenzt ist;
  • eine am Stützarm 58 eingebrachte Vertiefung 61;
  • eine am Hängearm 59 eingebrachte, bogenförmige Stützfläche 60 für ein Rastelement 44 (vgl. Fig. 4a, unten) der Abdeckklappe 20,
  • eine Anschlagfläche 46 für ein Anschlagelement 45 (vgl. Fig. 4a, unten) der Abdeckklappe 20,
  • und ein Langloch 35, welches gegenüber dem im Deckel 36 eingebrachten Langloch 33 im einmontierten Zustand um 90° versetzt ist.
The second guide element 32 (cf. Figures 3 to 5 ) has a rectangular outline and shows the following details:
  • a deep U-shaped recess 57 which is delimited on the one hand by a support arm 58 and on the other hand by a hanging arm 59 for the cover flap 20;
  • a recess 61 made on the support arm 58;
  • an arcuate support surface 60 for a latching element 44 (see FIG. Figure 4a , below) of the cover flap 20,
  • a stop surface 46 for a stop element 45 (cf. Figure 4a , below) of the cover flap 20,
  • and an elongated hole 35, which is offset by 90 ° with respect to the elongated hole 33 made in the cover 36 in the installed state.

Das beschriebene Führungselement 32 fungiert zu einem zweiten Führungsschlitten 42, dessen Langloch 35 im zusammengesetzten Zustand aller Führungselemente senkrecht zur Rückwand 17 des Abdeckkastens 16 gerichtet ist.The described guide element 32 functions as a second guide slide 42, the elongated hole 35 of which is directed perpendicular to the rear wall 17 of the cover box 16 in the assembled state of all guide elements.

Die ineinander greifenden Führungselemente 31; 32 bilden eine Aufhängung 30 der Abdeckklappe 20 aus. Die Führungselemente 31; 32 liegen in einer senkrecht zur Rückwand 17 und/oder Deckenwand 19 des Abdeckkastens 16 verlaufenden Ebene E (vgl. Fig. 8).The interlocking guide elements 31; 32 form a suspension 30 of the cover flap 20. The guide elements 31; 32 lie in a plane E running perpendicular to the rear wall 17 and / or top wall 19 of the cover box 16 (cf. Fig. 8 ).

Die versetzte Anordnung der Langlöcher 33; 35 ähnelt einem rechtwinkligen Koordinatensystem (vgl. Fig. 5), bei dem mit "X" eine Richtung senkrecht zur Rückwand 17 und "Y" eine Richtung senkrecht zur Deckenwand 19 bezeichnet ist.The staggered arrangement of the slots 33; 35 is similar to a right-angled coordinate system (cf. Fig. 5 ), in which "X" denotes a direction perpendicular to the rear wall 17 and "Y" denotes a direction perpendicular to the top wall 19.

Die Abdeckklappe 20 ist leisten- bzw. quaderförmig (vgl. Figuren 7 und 8) und ist spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut in Bezug auf eine in Fig. 2 mit "S" bezeichnete Symmetrielinie. Die Fig. 2 zeigt auch ein Plattenelement 15 der Abdeckklappe 20 aufweisend zwei Längsseiten 22, 22' und zwei Schmalseiten 23, 23'. Gemäß Figuren 6 bis 8 ist die Abdeckklappe 20 von einen trogförmigen, metallenen Rahmen 21 umgeben unter Belassung einer im vorliegenden Fall nicht metallischen, ersten Sichtfläche 24 (vgl. Fig. 6). Der Rahmen 21 kann beispielsweise mit einem keramischen Material (Fliese) gefüllt sein. Eine zweite, der ersten gegenüber liegende Sichtfläche 24' ist also metallisch, beispielsweise aus Edelstahl.The cover flap 20 is strip-shaped or cuboid (cf. Figures 7 and 8th ) and is mirror-symmetrical in relation to an in Fig. 2 line of symmetry marked "S". The Fig. 2 also shows a plate element 15 of the cover flap 20 having two longitudinal sides 22, 22 'and two narrow sides 23, 23'. According to Figures 6 till 8 the cover flap 20 is surrounded by a trough-shaped, metal frame 21, leaving a first visible surface 24, which is non-metallic in the present case (cf. Fig. 6 ). The frame 21 can for example be filled with a ceramic material (tile). A second visible surface 24 ′ opposite the first is therefore metallic, for example made of stainless steel.

Weiterhin weist die Abdeckklappe 20 auf ihren beiden Schmalseiten 23, 23' über den Rahmen 21 ragende Einhängeelemente, nämlich ein unteres Rastelement 43, welches im einmontierten Zustand der Abdeckklappe 20 in die Vertiefung 61 des Stützarms 58 (vgl. Fig. 4b) eingreift und ein oberes Rastelement 44 auf, welches sich wiederum an der bogenförmigen Stützfläche 69 abstützt und um eine Drehachse 27 schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Über den Rahmen 21 ragt auch das oberhalb des oberen Rastelementes 44 befindliches Anschlagelement 45, welches bei der ausgerichteten Abdeckklappe 20 mit der Anschlagfläche 46 kontaktiert.Furthermore, the cover flap 20 has on its two narrow sides 23, 23 'hanging elements protruding beyond the frame 21, namely a lower latching element 43 which, when the cover flap 20 is installed, is inserted into the recess 61 of the support arm 58 (cf. Figure 4b ) engages and an upper latching element 44, which in turn is supported on the arcuate support surface 69 and is arranged pivotably about an axis of rotation 27. The stop element 45, which is located above the upper latching element 44 and which makes contact with the stop surface 46 when the cover flap 20 is aligned, also protrudes over the frame 21.

Ein in Fig. 3 (oben) dargestelltes Formstück 62 aus Kunststoff ist in die Schmalseite 23, 23' der Abdeckklappe 20 formschlüssig eingebaut (vgl. Fig. 7). Das Formstück 62 umfasst die vorgenannten Rastelemente 43, 44 sowie das Anschlagelement 45.An in Fig. 3 The plastic molded piece 62 shown (above) is installed in a form-fitting manner in the narrow side 23, 23 'of the cover flap 20 (cf. Fig. 7 ). The molded piece 62 comprises the aforementioned latching elements 43, 44 and the stop element 45.

Wie die Fig. 6 zeigt, ist die Abdeckklappe 20 auch in Bezug auf eine Mittelebene M symmetrisch aufgebaut, so dass die beiden Sichtflächen 24 und 24' im gleichen Abstand von der Mittelebene M liegen.As the Fig. 6 shows, the cover flap 20 is also constructed symmetrically with respect to a center plane M, so that the two visible surfaces 24 and 24 'are at the same distance from the center plane M.

Die Figuren 11 und 12 zeigen eine alternative Ausführungsform der in Figur 3 dargestellten Seitenwand 18, 18', nämlich die Seitenwand 118; 118'. Die Seitenwände 118 und 118' sind spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut und begrenzen einen durch die Überbaukonstruktion 100 ausgebildeten Innenraum an zwei Seiten. Die Seitenwand 118 bildet die eine Seitenwand und die Seitenwand 118' die andere Seitenwand des Innenraums. Die Seitenwand 118, 118' umfasst jeweils einen Tragkörper 153 sowie ein erstes Führungselement 131 und ein zweites Führungselement 132. An Stelle eines Deckels 36 (vgl. Fig. 3) sind bei dem in den Figuren 11 und 12 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei in das Gehäuse 153 integrierte Rippen 170 vorgesehen, die, analog zum Deckel 36 in Fig. 3 im montierten Zustand den ersten Führungsschlitten 131 kontaktieren und eine Führungsbahn für diesen ausbilden. Es ist auch möglich lediglich eine oder mehr als zwei Rippen vorzusehen.The Figures 11 and 12 show an alternative embodiment of the in Figure 3 side wall 18, 18 'shown, namely the side wall 118; 118 '. The side walls 118 and 118 'are constructed with mirror symmetry and delimit an interior space formed by the superstructure structure 100 on two sides. The side wall 118 forms one side wall and the side wall 118 'forms the other side wall of the interior. The side wall 118, 118 'each comprises a support body 153 as well as a first guide element 131 and a second guide element 132. Instead of a cover 36 (cf. Fig. 3 ) are in the Figures 11 and 12 The exemplary embodiment shown, two ribs 170 integrated into the housing 153 are provided, which, analogously to the cover 36 in FIG Fig. 3 contact the first guide carriage 131 in the assembled state and form a guide track for this. It is also possible to provide only one or more than two ribs.

Die zum ersten Führungsschlitten 131 weisende Oberfläche ist etwas tiefer angeordnet als die Oberfläche des Tragkörpers 153, so dass sich das Führungselement 131 weitgehend formschlüssig unter Belassung eines eine Spielpassung ausbildenden Freiraums in den Tragkörper 153 einsetzen lässt. Zwischen den Längsseiten des Führungselements 131 und zwei im Tragkörper 153 vorgesehenen Führungskanten 171 ist ein geringfügiger Freiraum vorgesehen, so dass eine Spielpassung besteht und das Führungselement 131 einen ersten Führungsschlitten 141 darstellt, welcher auch im montierten Zustand der Seitenwand 118, 118' linear verschiebbar ist.The surface facing the first guide carriage 131 is arranged somewhat deeper than the surface of the support body 153, so that the guide element 131 can be inserted largely positively into the support body 153 while leaving a free space that forms a loose fit. A slight free space is provided between the longitudinal sides of the guide element 131 and two guide edges 171 provided in the support body 153, so that there is a loose fit and that Guide element 131 represents a first guide carriage 141 which is linearly displaceable even when the side wall 118, 118 'is in the assembled state.

Das erste Führungselement 131 weist einen rechteckigen und einstückigen Aufbau auf, welcher im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an zwei einander gegenüber liegenden Seiten mit insgesamt vier Vorsprüngen 156 versehen ist. Alternativ zu dem dargestellten Beispiel ist auch eine andere Anzahl von Vorsprüngen 156 oder andere Ausgestaltungen möglich. Wesentlich ist, dass die vorgesehenen Elemente eine Führung ausbilden und somit demselben Zweck dienen, wie die Vorsprünge 56 des ersten Führungsschlittens 31 (vgl. Fig. 3). Die Vorsprünge 156 bilden somit eine Führungsbahn für das zweite Führungselement 132 aus, der ebenfalls auf Basis einer Spielpassung, zwischen die Vorsprünge 156 des ersten Führungselements 131 einsetzbar ist. Im montierten Zustand bildet das zweite Führungselement 132 somit einen zweiten Führungsschlitten 142 aus, der gegenüber dem ersten Führungsschlitten 141 linear verschiebbar ist. Die beiden Führungsbahnen der Führungsschlitten 141, 142 sind um 90° zueinander versetzt, so dass sich eine am zweiten Führungselement 132 vorgesehene Stützfläche 160, die im komplett montierten Zustand der Überbaukonstruktion 100 die Abdeckklappe 20 trägt, in X-Y-Richtung verstellen und insbesondere so einstellen lässt, dass die Abdeckklappe insgesamt in exakt der gewünschten Position justierbar ist (vgl. auch Fig. 5, X-Y-System),The first guide element 131 has a rectangular and one-piece structure which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is provided with a total of four projections 156 on two opposite sides. As an alternative to the example shown, a different number of projections 156 or other configurations are also possible. It is essential that the elements provided form a guide and thus serve the same purpose as the projections 56 of the first guide carriage 31 (cf. Fig. 3 ). The projections 156 thus form a guide track for the second guide element 132, which can also be inserted between the projections 156 of the first guide element 131 on the basis of a clearance fit. In the assembled state, the second guide element 132 thus forms a second guide slide 142 which is linearly displaceable with respect to the first guide slide 141. The two guide tracks of the guide carriages 141, 142 are offset by 90 ° to each other, so that a support surface 160 provided on the second guide element 132, which carries the cover flap 20 in the completely assembled state of the superstructure structure 100, can be adjusted in the XY direction and in particular adjusted in this way that the cover flap can be adjusted in exactly the desired position (see also Fig. 5 , XY system),

Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Abdeckklappe 20 kann alternativ zu den in Fig. 3 dargestellten Formstücken 62 auch mit den in Fig. 11 und 12 dargestellten Formstücke 162 ausgestattet sein. Auch eine mit Formstücke 162 versehene Abdeckklappe 20 hat im Wesentlichen dieselbe Aufgabe wie die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Ausführungsform mit Formstücke 62. Die Abdeckklappe 20 soll einerseits einfach ein- und ausbaubar sein und andererseits um eine Drehachse schwenkbar und in einer vordefinierten Position fixierbar sein. Die bevorzugte Position, in der die lösbare Fixierung realisiert werden soll, ist dabei eine Position, in der die Abdeckklappe 20 vertikal ausgerichtet ist.In the Fig. 2 The cover flap 20 shown can be used as an alternative to the in Fig. 3 Shaped pieces 62 shown also with the in Figures 11 and 12 be equipped fittings 162 shown. A cover flap 20 provided with molded pieces 162 also has essentially the same function as that in FIG Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment with molded pieces 62. The cover flap 20 should be easy to install and remove on the one hand and pivotable about an axis of rotation and fixable in a predefined position on the other hand. The preferred position in which the releasable fixation is to be realized is a position in which the cover flap 20 is oriented vertically.

Die Formstücke 162 weisen Rastelemente 144 auf, die zu den Stützflächen 160 der zweiten Führungselemente 132 kompatibel sind. Die in die Aufhängung eingehängte Abdeckklappe 20 kann somit um die Rastelemente 144 schwingen, wobei die Schwingbewegung durch ein Anschlagelement 145 begrenzt wird. Bei Erreichen eines vorbestimmten Drehwinkel, vorzugsweise in senkrechter Position der Abdeckklappe 20, kontaktiert ein am Formstück 162 angebrachtes Anschlagelement 145 einen am zweiten Führungselement 132 integrierten Anschlag 146 und begrenzt so den Schwenkbewegung.The shaped pieces 162 have latching elements 144 which are compatible with the support surfaces 160 of the second guide elements 132. The cover flap 20 suspended in the suspension can thus swing around the latching elements 144, the swinging movement being limited by a stop element 145. When a predetermined angle of rotation is reached, preferably in the vertical position of the cover flap 20, a stop element 145 attached to the molded piece 162 contacts a stop 146 integrated on the second guide element 132 and thus limits the pivoting movement.

Bei dem Rastelement 143 handelt es sich um eine alternative Ausführungsform des Rastelements 43 aus Fig. 3. Das in das Formstück 162 integrierte Rastelement 143 umfasst eine flexible Zunge 173 mit einem an deren Ende angeordneten Vorsprung 172. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel rastet die Abdeckklappe 20, genauer gesagt das am Formstück 162 angebrachte Rastelement 143, dann, wenn die Abdeckklappe 20 in eine vertikale Position geschwenkt wird, in eine Vertiefung 161 ein und fixiert die Abdeckklappe 20 somit in dieser Position. Soll die Abdeckklappe 20 aus der fixierten Position heraus geschwenkt werden, so ist eine von der Flexibilität bzw. dem Widerstandsmoment des Rastelements 143 abhängige Kraft erforderlich. Bei Überschreiten dieser Kraft gleitet der in der Vertiefung 161 befindliche Vorsprung 172 des Rastelements 143 aus der Vertiefung 161 heraus und kann bei Weiterschwenken der Abdeckklappe 20 an der Oberfläche des zweiten Führungselements 132 entlangleiten. Schwenkt die Abdeckklappe 20 wieder zurück in eine vertikale Position, so rastet der Vorsprung 172 wieder in der Vertiefung 161 ein.The latching element 143 is an alternative embodiment of the latching element 43 Fig. 3 . The latching element 143 integrated in the fitting 162 comprises a flexible tongue 173 with a projection 172 arranged at its end. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover flap 20, more precisely the latching element 143 attached to the fitting 162, latches when the cover flap 20 is in a vertical position is pivoted into a recess 161 and thus fixes the cover flap 20 in this position. If the cover flap 20 is to be pivoted out of the fixed position, a force dependent on the flexibility or the resistance torque of the latching element 143 is required. When this force is exceeded, the projection 172 of the latching element 143 located in the recess 161 slides out of the recess 161 and can slide along the surface of the second guide element 132 when the cover flap 20 is pivoted further. If the cover flap 20 swivels back into a vertical position, the projection 172 again engages in the recess 161.

Funktionsweise (vgl. Figuren 3 bis 6 und 10): How it works (see Figures 3 to 6 and 10):

Wie der Fig. 6a zu entnehmen ist, ist die Abdeckklappe 20 mit ihrer keramischen Sichtfläche 24 vertikal ausgerichtet, so dass die Sichtfläche 24 in Richtung R1 nach außen weist. Die zweite, in Richtung R2 nach innen zeigende Sichtfläche 24' ist für den Benutzer "verborgen". Zwischen einer Unterkante 25 der Abdeckklappe 20 und einer Bodenfläche 26 der Duschplatte 49 befindet sich ein Ablaufschlitz 14. Die keramische Sichtfläche 24 fluchtet mit einer keramischen Oberfläche 47 des Wandelementes 11.Again Figure 6a As can be seen, the cover flap 20 is oriented vertically with its ceramic visible surface 24, so that the visible surface 24 points outwards in the direction R1. The second visible surface 24 'facing inward in the direction R2 is "hidden" from the user. A drain slot 14 is located between a lower edge 25 of the cover flap 20 and a floor surface 26 of the shower tray 49. The ceramic visible surface 24 is aligned with a ceramic surface 47 of the wall element 11.

Wird die andere, metallische Sichtfläche 24' gewünscht (vgl. Fig. 6b), muss die Abdeckklappe 20 zuerst ausgebaut werden. Da die Seitenwände 18, 18' ebenso zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut sind, ist das Wechseln der Sichtflächen 24, 24' sehr einfach.If the other, metallic visible surface 24 'is desired (cf. Figure 6b ), the cover flap 20 must first be removed. Since the side walls 18, 18 'are also constructed mirror-symmetrically to one another, changing the visible surfaces 24, 24' is very easy.

Um dies zu verwirklichen, wird die Abdeckklappe 20 im Bereich ihrer Unterkante 25 manuell nach innen gedrückt. Das untere Rastelement 43 wird aus der Vertiefung 61 (vgl. Fig. 4b) herausgeschoben, so dass das obere Rastelement 44 um die Drehachse 27 schwenkt. Die Abdeckklappe 20 wird herausgenommen und durch Umlegen ihrer beider Enden 63, 63' (Fig. 2) erneut eingesetzt bis das untere Rastelement 43 in die Vertiefung 61 einrastet und das Anschlagelement 45 gegen die Anschlagfläche 46 stößt.In order to achieve this, the cover flap 20 is manually pressed inward in the region of its lower edge 25. The lower latching element 43 is made of the recess 61 (cf. Figure 4b ) pushed out so that the upper latching element 44 pivots about the axis of rotation 27. The cover flap 20 is removed and, by folding both ends 63, 63 '( Fig. 2 ) is used again until the lower locking element 43 engages in the recess 61 and the stop element 45 strikes against the stop surface 46.

Soll die Lage der Abdeckklappe 20 gegenüber dem Abdeckkasten 16 korrigiert werden, wird zunächst die Abdeckklappe demontiert. Danach sind die Führungsschlitten 41, 42 und insbesondere auch eine als Einstellelemente 28 dienende Schraube 37 frei zugänglich und kann gelöst werden. Die Schraubverbindungen müssen lediglich soweit gelöst werden, dass keine Klemmverbindung mehr besteht und die Führungsschlitten in X- und Y-Richtung verschiebbar sind (vgl. Fig. 5). Die Schraube 37 ist durch das Langloch 33 des Deckels 36, die Bohrung 29 des ersten Führungsschlittens 41 und das Langloch 35 des zweiten Führungsschlittens 42 in die Mutter 38 eingeführt. Nach durchgeführter Justierung wird das Einstellelement 28 (Schraube 37 mit Mutter 38) angezogen bis die Führungsschlitten 41; 42 mit dem Tragkörper 53 eine Klemmverbindung 40 (vgl. Fig. 10) ausbilden.If the position of the cover flap 20 relative to the cover box 16 is to be corrected, the cover flap is first removed. The guide carriages 41, 42 and in particular also a screw 37 serving as adjusting elements 28 are then freely accessible and can be loosened. The screw connections only have to be loosened so far that there is no longer a clamp connection and the guide carriages can be moved in the X and Y directions (cf. Fig. 5 ). The screw 37 is inserted into the nut 38 through the elongated hole 33 of the cover 36, the bore 29 of the first guide carriage 41 and the elongated hole 35 of the second guide carriage 42. After the adjustment has been carried out, the adjustment element 28 (screw 37 with nut 38) is tightened until the guide carriage 41; 42 with the support body 53 a clamping connection 40 (cf. Fig. 10 ) train.

Die Funktionsweise der Ausführungsform mit den in den Figuren 11 und 12 dargestellten Seitenteilen ist im Wesentlichen analog zu der vorstehend beschriebenen Funktionsweise.
