Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fixture unit for a shower arrangement or the like comprising fixture such as mixing taps, temperature controls, possi- ble regulating or control devices and the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to achieve a fixture unit by which the above mentioned drawbacks are avoided and which provides for simple manufacturing and flexible use. This is attained by a fixture unit ac- cording to the invention, the main features of which are given in claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the concept to achieve a mainly independent multifunctional unit, which conveniently can be connected and disconnected when necessary.
  • This is provided for by connecting the fixture to a releasably mountable fastening plate, which is arranged to be fastened in an opening in a fastening base, for example a wall or column.
  • the fixture couplings are arranged so that they are releasably connectable to the respective water mains and/or electrical couplings. In this way the fixture and thereto belonging couplings may easily be disconnected for maintenance, for example cleaning of water filters, or repair by dismounting the fastening plate.
  • the fixture may be reinstallated as easily by refastening the fastening plate including the couplings to the fastening base.
  • the fastening plate is advantageously made of a rigid material, for example of aluminum plate, whereby the fastening plate at the same time may be provided with fastening elements in order to fasten it to the fastening base.
  • the advantage with aluminum plate is that it is easily workable, of little weight and resistant to corrosion.
  • the fastening plate may be manufactured of other corresponding suitable materials.
  • the fastening plate may be provided with a fastening element, which is intended for engagement with an inner surface of the fastening base.
  • the fastening plate is preferably provided with a sealing element, which for example may be an injection moulded sealing component that surrounds the fastening plate. In this way a secure sealing is attained without any additional measures.
  • a sealing element which for example may be an injection moulded sealing component that surrounds the fastening plate.
  • the fastening plate is further preferably provided with a grip element that functions as a receiving surface and/or a hanger hook, in other words as a shelf with a handle and a possibility to hang soaps, shampoo bottles, cleaning brushes, etc.
  • a grip element is also suitable as a support handle when one moves around in a slippery washing space, for example a shower cabin or the like. Furthermore, such a grip element facilitates handling and fastening of the fixture unit.
  • the grip element may be arranged independent from or separately fastenable to the fastening plate and its fixture, which for example provides for a possibility to use different grip elements according to need.
  • the grip element is preferably arranged to receive fastening elements for fastening the grip element and the fastening plate to the fastening base.
  • the grip element is preferably provided with fixation elements, which tighten the fastening plate against the fastening base.
  • the grip element may also be fixed to the fastening plate.
  • the fixed grip element facilitates handling of the fastening plate.
  • the grip element is preferably in this case arranged to receive fastening elements in order to fasten the grip element and the fastening plate to the fastening base.
  • fastening plate itself has to be provided with fastening elements in order to fasten the fastening plate to the fastening base.
  • the grip element can naturally also separately be fastened only to the fastening plate.
  • Suitable fastening elements in the above mentioned cases are for example bolt or screw devices that easily may be fastened and removed.
  • the invention is described more in detail in the following by way of example with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
  • Fig. 1 shows a shower cabin where the invention is applied.
  • Figs. 2, 2a and 2b show exploded views of different embodiments the fixture unit.
  • Fig. 3 shows fixture couplings of the fixture unit according to Fig.
  • Fig. 4 shows the grip element of the fixture unit according to Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the fixture unit.
  • Fig. 6 shows the fixture unit according to Fig. 5.
  • a shower cabin is indicated by reference numeral 1 .
  • the shower cabin is installed in a corner of a wet room, for example a bathroom.
  • the farther corner of the shower cabin 1 comprises a column 2 constituting a fastening base in which a fixture unit 3 comprising a releasably mounted fas- tening plate 4 as well as fixture, such as mixing taps, a temperature control unit, regulating or control devices or the like, are installed.
  • Figs. 2, 2a and 2b show different embodiments of the fixture unit including its fastening plate 4 detached from the column 2, or more exactly from an opening 10 in the same.
  • Embodiment 3a comprises mixing taps 5,6 and shower coupling 7;
  • embodiment 3b comprises mixing taps 5,6, a shower coupling and steam regulator 8, and
  • embodiment 3c comprises a mixing tap 5,6, a shower coupling 7, a steam regulator 8 and electronic controls 9.
  • the grip element 12 is releasable in relation to the fastening plate 4.
  • the grip element 12 is in the form of a shelf provided with a hand grip portion 15.
  • FIG. 3 is shown more in detail how the fixture unit 3a, including the fastening plate 4 and the grip element 12, and the thereto connected couplings are arranged.
  • the figure shows the side of the fixture unit 3a which is to be installed towards the opening including mixing taps 5,6 and shower coupling 7 provided in the fastening plate according to Fig. 2.
  • the couplings comprise warm and cold water pipes 18 and 19 which are connected by respective coupling means, for example threaded couplings 20 and 21 , to a distribution pipe 22.
  • the couplings may comprise steam apparatus, electronics, etc., which in a corresponding way need supervision, which in the described manner conveniently may be done with the fixture unit according to the invention.
  • the grip element 12 is in the form of a receiving surface or shelf.
  • the shelf is provided with a hand grip portion 1 5, which conveniently may be used as a support for example in connection with taking a shower and on which one also may hang for example shampoo bottles or the like furnished with a suitable hook means.
  • the grip element 12 is detach- able in relation to the fastening plate, whereby it preferably is provided with fixation elements 16, which are intended to rest against the fastening plate 4 for tightening the fastening plate against the opening 10 in the column 2 when the grip element 12 is fastened to the column by means of the screw devices 14.
  • fixation elements 16 which are intended to rest against the fastening plate 4 for tightening the fastening plate against the opening 10 in the column 2 when the grip element 12 is fastened to the column by means of the screw devices 14.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 is shown a further embodiment of the fixture unit.
  • the fixture unit is 3d provided with mixing taps 5,6 and a shower coupling 7.
  • the releasably attachable cold and warm water pipes are indicated by 18 and 19.
