A SEAMLESS INTEGRATED PANEL SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a seamless integrated panel system, and in particular for use in a washroom environment.
It is known that integrated panel systems (IPS) are used in the healthcare, and other sectors as a practical solution for concealing plumbing, electric and other building systems whilst also providing an exterior fascia onto which washroom sanitaryware such as basins, urinals and other related washroom items can be mounted. Integrated panel systems are comprised of a metal framework, offset from the wall of a washroom, onto which two or more cut panels are mounted. The plumbing, electric etc. remains concealed behind the panels and framework, with the sanitary ware and water outlets, such as taps, showers etc. fixed and mounted on the front fascia. To gain access to the plumbing and other systems for essential maintenance, the panel above or below the fixed sanitary ware and water outlets must be removed.
* * .j5 Hygiene can be a concern in some areas, particularly where a large number of people use the same washroom facilities fixed to the panels. This can lead to the presence of dirt and * .. *.* * dust on the panels, particularly in the joins and seams between the panels, which in turn can * lead to the presence arid growth of microorganisms. This is routinely addressed by regular : cleaning of the facilities, by using chemical disinfectants. However this behaviour has shortcomings when used with the current integrated panel systems which the present invention seeks to address.
According to the present invention there. is provided a...
The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the following drawings, in which; Figure 1 is a front view of a seamless integrated panel system.
Figure 2 is a side view of seamless integrated panel system.
Figure 3 is a top down view of a seamless integrated panel system.

Figure 6 is a top down view of an open (not hinged) seamless integrated panel system.
Figure 7 is a top down view of an open (hinged) integrated panel system.
Figure 8 is a schematic of a water plumbing system.
Figure 9 is a front view of a seamless integrated panel system incorporating washroom items.
Figure 10 is a front view of a standard integrated panel system incorporating washroom items.
S The invention relates to an integrated panel system and addresses the problem of contamination by microorganisms and access to maintenance points. In many situations integrated panel systems can become contaminated by microorganisms. The microorganisms can become present on the external surface of the panel and also the joins/spacing between adjacent panels. Some microorganisms can be harmful to humans, and can cause a person to become infected when they use the washroom facilities fixed to the panels. The present invention addresses this problem by eliminating the joins/spacing between panels.
One particular area of concern is nosocomial infections, otherwise known as hospital-acquired infections. Patients can become infected by microorganisms present in a healthcare facility, leading to health problems that were unrelated to the original illness of that patient.
* * t Unfortunately nosocomial infections can be fatal in some cases as is well documented. There are many microorganisms that cause these infections, including Methidillin-resistant ***.** * Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile, and coliforms such as Escherichia coli.
*.**** * * *.:r It is known that some microorganisms can be present within the infrastructure of buildings, especially on surfaces with regular human contact, such as washroom facilities. The main method used to control the problem is regular cleaning using chemical disinfectants. While this method can be effective in eliminating microorganisms present, they are subject to the efficiency of the person undertaking the cleaning, a problem which can be exacerbated by integrated panel systems which contain joins/spacing between adjacent panels, which can become areas of significant bacterial growth, as they are difficult to clean correctly.
Microorganisms are present in the environment and often adhere to the surfaces of integrated panel systems, particularly in the joins/spacing between adjacent panels. The presence of microorganisms on an integrated panel system surface can lead to users becoming infected.
It is known that integrated panel systems are used in washrooms and that they may contain sanitaryware, and plumbed in fixed water fittings which prevent removal of the panel, and are only accessible by removal of another panel above or below. Between these panels are joins/spacing which, in many situations are sealed using a silicon sealant. In order to access the plumbing behind the panels, the silicon seal has to be cut open before lifting off the panel from the metal frame behind. While this system is widely used in the healthcare and other sectors, there are a number of maintenance associated issues with it.
It is known that silicon sealant is used to seal the joins/spacing between panels in IPS systems, and that they have to be split in order to remove panels and gain access behind.
Splitting the sealant leaves the panel edges untidy, difficult to re-seal and also a potential infection control issue, as they could become contaminated with microorganisms. The present invention addresses this problem by eliminating the joins spacing between panels, and therefore the need for silicon sealant.
In many situations sanitaryware and plumbing systems are fixed to a panel, which requires the disconnection of plumbing from behind, or prevents removal of the panel altogether. It is known that in order to access behind the panel containing sanitaryware and fixed plumbing on an IPS systems, a panel above or below (usually above) must be lifted off the metal framework and removed. The panels rest on hooks/catches protruding from the metal S.....
* 15 framework behind the panel, the constant removal of which can lead to them becoming r misaligned, leading to the reattached panel being misaligned with the other panels, or braking * off entirely, which requires repairing. The present invention addresses this problem, by having a single panel which can be accessed without removing adjacent panels or disconnecting plumbing systems.
In many situations flexible steel hoses are used in plumbing systems to make connection from fixed plumbing systems behind the panels in an IPS system to the water outlets on the panels.
However it is known that flexible steel hoses actively promote the growth of waterborne bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The present invention addresses this problem, by use of an innovative fixed plumbing system, which does not require disconnection when access behind the panel is required.
In Figure 1 a front view of a seamless IPS system is shown which comprises a single panel (1), preferably made of a solid surface sheet material, advantageously the material is Conan0.
The single panel overlaps a frame fascia (2) behind, preferably made of a solid surface material, advantageously the material is Conan0. The panel is pulled tight up to the frame, and held in place by a locking system behind the panel, preferably that system is magnetic or of solenoid latching design or electro-magnetic. The frame fascia (2) could be either in line and flush with the wall (3), or mounted in front of it.
Turning to Figure 2, the seamless IPS system is shown in a side view. The distance between the panel (4) and the frame fascia (5) is 0.0mm or kept to a practical minimum. This is to enable the panel and frame fascia to be cleaned and disinfected more effectively, and minimise any area that microorganisms could be shielded from this process.
s The bevelled top edges (6) of the frame fascia (5) and panel (4) are to prevent the build up of dust, which occurs with standard IPS systems or could occur with a flat horizontal top and could harbour potentially harmflul microorganisms. This would also make the top more practical to view and clean/disinfect.
The space (7) between the floor (8) prevents the bottom of the panel (4) catching on the floor when the panel is opened up, the space (7) is kept to a practical minimum.
The frame (9) forms the structure of the seamless integrated panel system and, preferably is made of metal, advantageously that metal is steel. The frame fascia (5) is fixed to the frame r (9). When in situ, the frame (9) could be recessed so that it is not exposed, or it could be * . . prominent in the room, in which case it could be covered with a fascia, preferably a solid surface material, advantageously that material is Conan0.
*..* 0
S
The wall (10) illustrates the overall position of the seamless integrated panel system within a room, and also reveals the space (11) available behind the panel for plumbing and other *5 *..: systems.
Turning to Figure 3, the seamless JPS system is shown in a top down view. This shows the panel (12) pulled in tight against the frame fascia (13), and shows the panel support (14) which is fixed to the panel (12), and fixes it to the frame (15) via a hinge mechanism. The panel support (14) is preferably made of metal, advantageously that metal is steel.
The adjacent wall fascia (16) shows how the frame (15) could be recessed, leaving the space (17) behind for plumbing and other systems, up to the wall (18). -Turning to Figure 4, which is a reverse view of the seamless IPS panel, the panel (19) is directly fixed to the panel support (20) with the use of a trade fixing registered as "Squirrel Fixings". The panel support is to give extra rigidity to the panel (19), whilst also spreading the load of the weight onto the panel hinge (21), preferably made of metal, advantageously that metal is steel. The panel hinge connects the panel (19), via the panel support (20) to the hinge bar (22) the hinge bar was an addition by MPlayle to the double hinge invented mechanism of this Patent for added strength and rigidity, other methods of rigidity by a skilled workman giving strength could be applied to the double hinge system to give the same rigidity, this in turn is connected to the frame hinge (23) which connects to the frame. The double hinge/bar system is designed to allow the panel (19)/panel support (20) to be pulled directly out from the frame initially, to prevent the panel from catching the frame fascia, and then rotated as with a standard door. The hinge system could be positioned either on the left side or the right side so that the panel (19) can be opened in the direction desired by the user, which can be important if the seamless JPS system is positioned next to a wall Figure 5 is a similar view to Figure 1, the seamless IPS system is shown from a front on view in the panel (24) open (hinged) position, away from the frame fascia (25) revealing the space (26) behind the panel (24) for plumbing and other systems. The panel (24) is opened using sucker pads, commonly used to remove IPS panels in their current form. Sucker pads are used to first pull the panel (24) directly outwards from the frame fascia (25), before being rotated on the second hinge. This system prevents the frame catching and damaging the frame *;. .4 fascia, and to ensure the door opens to a desired angle, which is kept to a practical maximum, in order for thU access to the reverse of the panel (24) and space (26) behind.
*...** *.... Figure 6 is a similar view to Figure 3, the seamless IPS system is shown from a top down view in the open (not hinged) position. The panel (27) and panel (28) support are pulled straight out away from the frame fascia (29) and frame (30) using the hinge system (31) as the mechanism.
Figure 7 is a similar view to Figure 6, the seamless IPS system is shown from a top down view in the open (hinged) position. The panel (32) and panel support (33) have been rotated from the open (not hinged) position, away from the frame fascia (34) and frame (35), to the open (hinged) position using the hinge system (36) to rotate the panel (32) and panel support (33). The opening angle should be kept to a practical maximum in order to maximise maintenance access to the reverse of the panel (32)/panel support (33). The panel (32)/panel support (33) could be guided by a track on the lower part of the frame.
Turning to Figure 8, shows the innovative water supply plumbing system which allows the seamless IPS to open similar to a door, without the need for the disconnection of the plumbing fittings. Four swivel push-fit compression elbows joints (37, 38, 39 and 40) are used, preferably made of metal, advantageously the metal is copper. These swivel push-fit compression elbows ensure free rotation of the joints around the pieces of pipe (41,42,43,44 and 45), which preferably made of metal, advantageously the metal is copper. The bottom pipe (45) would be connected to the panel inlet connection i.e. the tap on the reverse of the panel, whilst the top pipe (41) would be connected to the water feed, which could be located on the inside of the frame, or behind the frame, on the hinge side of the panel. The nature of the system allows the panel to be hinged open, whilst the plumbing can remain connected, and available for maintenance.
Figure 9 is similar to Figure 1, and show one potential use of the seamless IPS system within a washroom environment. In this example a basin (46) (but could be a shower, toilet, urinal or any other washroom sanitaryware), preferably made of a solid surface material, advantageously that material is Corian© is mounted to the panel (47), as with a normal basin, with bolts from the back of the basin (46), through the front side of the panel (47), through to the reverse side of the panel. The join/seam between the basin (46) and panel (47) is eliminated using a solid surface resin, preferably the same solid surface material as the panel, *.** advantageously that material is Corian©. This would be polished out, so that the basin (46) r'i and panel (47) are joined as one material. A flexible basin waste would be used on the reverse of the basin (46), through the panel (47), which would maintain the ability of the panel to * open and hinge. In this example a tap/faucet spout (48) and controlling flow sensor (49) on * the front of the panel (47) above the basin (46). The plumbing system shown in Figure 8 :" would be connected to the rear of the spout in order to allow the panel to open and hinge. **.
Figure 10 shows the current IPS system used in the same situation as in Figure 9, i.e. a basin (50), tap/faucet (51) and flow control (52). The key difference is the Use of three separate panels, the removable bottom panel (53), the non removable middle panel (54) and the removable top panel (55). The lower panel (53) would be removed for access to the waste, and the upper panel (55) would be removed for access to the tap/faucet and subsequent plumbing feed. This requires the cutting of the silicon seals (56 and 57) around the two removable panels, and then the reseal of these once the panels are replaced, which is untidy, inefficient and a potential area to harbour microorganisms, a problem eliminated by the seamless system set demonstrated in Figure 9. Another concern is the ease of access even with lower (53) and upper (55) panels removed, as it requires the person carrying out maintenance to do so from the front reaching over or under the middle panel (54), which is more difficult, and could lead to mistakes, a problem eliminated by the seamless system demonstrated in Figure 9, as the panel can be opened and hinged for direct access to the rear of the panel.
