DESCRIPTION

Shower tray Object of the invention

The object of the present invention relates to a new shower tray.

The shower tray includes a novel channeling, which allows the shower tray assembly to have a completely level surface in the drain zone, to produce a horizontal surface effect and to place a drain grate at the floor level.

This channeling is produced using a template and the method to install the shower tray, resulting in a shower tray completely aesthetically uniform.

Background of the invention

Shower trays made on site are well known in the state of the art, both the individual ones for domestic use and the collective ones that collect the sanitary water used and lead it to the drain and the drain pipe.

Within the market of current shower trays, it is usual to use pavements with extremely thin thicknesses typical of new materials such as microcement, fine porcelain stoneware, or laminated natural stone, which have been developed to provide coatings with thicknesses of just decimals of a millimeter. Normally, the installation systems of shower trays made on site are not capable of forming a level surface with coating thicknesses less than 4 mm of glazed glazed glazed enamels.

As such, they have not found in the state of the art a shower tray of realization on site or a method for its installation that allows the placement of a drain grate, whether covered with the same material as the plate itself or not , level with the pavement whatever its thickness. Said installation provides aesthetic uniformity on the entire face of the shower tray.

In accordance with the aforementioned and following the numbering adopted in the figures, the shower tray object of the invention is represented, together with the method for installing said shower tray and the template used therein.

Figure 2 represents a shower tray (21) having the special feature that the main drain point (5) is located in the central section of said shower tray (21). To provide an aesthetic uniformity in the shower tray (21), a pipe (22) is included in the drainage zone of said shower tray (21) which helps to drive the water from the shower to the main drain point (5). ). Placing this novel channeling (22) makes it possible to provide the shower tray assembly (21) with a completely level surface in the drain zone, to produce a horizontal surface effect, with a very slight slope, so that the surface of the drain grate of the shower tray (21) can be made of the same material as the shower tray itself (21). This assumes homogeneity along the entire horizontal plane of the shower tray (21) without exposing any part, frame or other element that may not be aesthetic.

Figures 1a-1h show the method of installing the shower tray (21). Figure 1a shows the placement of the siphonic body (1) at the main drain point (5). Prior to the installation of the shower tray (21) the shower area must be prepared. It is necessary to know in advance the height or depth necessary to have the stipulated slope of at least 1.5% from the edges of the shower tray (21) to the main drain point (5) to make it possible to circulate the water to that point main drain (5). A height or depth of at least 94 mm plus the thickness of the pavement (15) and its adhesive at said main drainage point (5) is required.

Figure 1a shows the placement of a siphonic body (1), whose mouth must be centered around the main drain point (5); the outlet of the siphon (2) must be properly oriented towards a drain pipe (3). The drain pipe (3) must have a stipulated slope of at least 1.5% towards the sewage network. Next, the mouth of the siphonic body (1) is covered with a hollow cylindrical body that performs the function of a protective cover (16) to prevent the introduction of materials into the siphonic body (1) during installation.

The siphon outlet (2) and the drain tube (3) are connected by a sliding sleeve (4). To facilitate the introduction of the drain pipe (3) into the sliding sleeve (4), lubricants such as water are used

soapy The sliding sleeve (4) slides to the end of the drain tube (3), the drain tube (3) is faced with the siphon outlet (2) and the sliding sleeve (4) slides backwards until it does stop, top, maximum as a noun, top as an adverb.

Figure 1b shows the placement of mortar (6) until it is flush with the upper portion of the siphonic body (1), which is embedded in the mortar (6). Once the mortar (6) is flush, a template (7) is placed as shown in figure 1c, which must be adjusted to the extent of a drain bowl (11) that will be placed later, as shown in figure 1e. Said template (7) must fit properly with the protective cover (16). For this, the template (7) comprises a centerpiece (19) with a circular hole in which the protective cover is inserted and comprising two rectangular lateral wings (23), as seen in Figure 2. Each lateral wing (23 ) of said template (7) can be trimmed to suit the size of the drain bowl (11) depending on the placement of the main drain point (5), since in other embodiments of the invention said main drain point ( 5) It can be placed anywhere on the shower tray (21). To be able to trim them, the lateral wings (23) comprise die cutting lines (24) located at different distances from the central part (19) as desired. In addition, the side wings (23) can be removed from the center piece (19), for example also by die cutting lines, to only form a drain pan of the shape of the center piece (19) when necessary, depending on the plate of shower that you wish to obtain, as explained below.

Once the template (7) is placed, mortar is poured again until it flush with the height of the template (7) forming mortar ramps (8) as can be seen in Figure 1d, so that the slopes are formed necessary for water to flow to the main drain point (5).

Once the mortar ramps (8) have hardened, the template (7) and the protective cover (16) are removed from the mouth of the siphon body (1), leaving a pipe (22) of the template shape (7) as can be seen in figure 2. Subsequently a waterproof sheet (13) is coupled by means of a connector (12) that incorporates the waterproof sheet itself (13), as can be seen in figure 1e. The impermeable sheet (13) is deployed and the connector (12) is pressed and retained in the mouth of the siphon body (1). This insertion is done through the hole that has been left after the removal of the protective cover (16). Once the waterproof sheet (13) is placed, it is glued, preferably with an adhesive that is of the cement type glue type C2 on the surface of the mortar ramps (8) and on the surface of the pipe (22).

Subsequently, the drainage bowl (11) is placed in the canalization (22) so that its side walls (10) are slack with respect to the lateral walls of the canalization (22), so that the outlet tube of said Channeling (22) is inserted and retained inside the connector (12) by means of coupling elements (28) as shown in the detail of Figure 4, with the aid of lubricant, which can be of the soapy water type, so that The drain tube outlet tube (11) is inserted into the main drain point (5). Between the side walls (10) of the drain bowl (11) and the waterproof sheet (13), mortar (9) is applied to each side to seat the drain bowl (11) until it is flush with the height of the waterproof sheet (13).

Finally, a grid lining (14) and a floor (15) are placed. For this there is a grid support piece (18) and the grid lining (14) is previously cut from the same pavement material (15), with the necessary measure to cover the grid support part (18). The preferred design of the grid lining (14) is 2mm wide, plus the width of the grid support piece (18) and a length equal to that of the drain bowl (11). As shown in Figure 1f, the grid support (18) is placed in the drain bowl (11) and the lining piece (14) is placed on it without sticking it and spacers (17) are inserted to form the drainage slots (20) thus ensuring its width. Once the spacers (17) are installed, the floor (15) is placed as shown in Figure 1g. The flooring (15) is placed, sticking on the impermeable sheet (13) with an adhesive that is preferably C2 glue cement. After placing the floor, the grid is covered. For this, adhesive is applied on the upper layer of the grid support piece (18), which is a rough layer, and the grid lining (14) is glued centered with the aid of the spacers (17) and with care of make it right with the pavement. Preferably the same adhesive used with the flooring (15) is used to obtain a layer of the same thickness.

Finally, as can be seen in Figure 1h, the spacers (17) are removed leaving the drain slots (20) free.

In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 3.1, centerpiece (19) of the template (7), it constitutes the template itself (7) that is to say it lacks the lateral wings (23) and has a quadrangular shape with blunt edges, which It comprises a central hole coinciding with the main drain point (5). In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 3.2, the central part (19) constituting the template (7) has a rectangular shape with blunt edges, which also comprises a central hole coinciding with the main drain point (5).

In another embodiment, as seen in Figures 3.3 and 3.4, the central part (19) of the template (7) has a configuration equal to that of the drain bowl (11) and has a quadrangular shape with blunt edges, which comprises a central cylindrical section coinciding with the main drain point and has a stepped cross sectional profile in the form of an inverted pyramid providing different level marks of
