Definitions

  • the invention relates to a panel, and more specifically to a ventilation and/or access panel of the kind disclosed in the preamble of independent patent claim 1.
  • Ventilation and access panels of the type in question are commonly used, especially for airing off dampness under bathtubs, Jacuzzis, corner casings that conceal pipes fitted with clean-out plugs etc. Of course, they are also used in other connections with different types of wall surfaces and the like. However, it is especially in connection with wall surfaces that are to be tiled that the problem on which the invention is based is particularly pronounced.
  • the standard ventilation and access panels usually consist of a cover part with vents and a frame part which the cover is mounted on or in engagement with.
  • the frame is made having a channel-shaped portion of suitable size or dimensions, which at one of its end portions is shaped to have one or more outward projecting flat portions that extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the channel portion.
  • the channel- shaped portion is placed in the wall opening in which the panel is to be used, and is inserted so that the flat portions rest against the wall surface and the frame part is held firmly in place.
  • the cover part which along its periphery is made having a bent edge portion, is then fitted in a detachable manner into the frame by being pressed home in the frame opening, and by means of suitable devices, for example, snap-in locking devices, and/or friction engagement, is held in place in the opening.
  • suitable devices for example, snap-in locking devices, and/or friction engagement.
  • a panel of the type in question has be «n developed wherein the cover and the frame part are equipped with cooperating supporting and/or fastening means which allow horizontal displacement of the cover relative to the frame.
  • the frame may first be fitted into the wall opening and the cover is fitted into the frame opening in a position relative thereto so that it will be comparatively easy to lay the tiles to fit around the cover.
  • the tiles are then glued in place in a regular tiling operation. After the laying/gluing operation, a regular grouting operation is carried out, during which grouting is applied between the bent side edge of the cover, and the tiling is complete. If the panel is then to be used as an access panel, the grouting around the cover must first be removed before the cover can be taken off. After access, it must be regrouted if a pleasing appearance is desired.
  • Fig. 1 shows a panel cover
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic illustration of the panel cover, seen from the top or bottom;
  • Fig. 3 shows a panel frame;
  • Figs. 4-6 show a frame member that is a part of the panel frame.
  • Fig. 1 shows a panel cover 1 as this may appear when produced, for example, punched out, in a suitable sheet metal material.
  • the cover 1 is equipped with vents 3, so-called louvres, of a conventional type, and notches or cut-outs are provided in the corners of the cover plate so that it is easy to bend the peripheral edge thereof in order to produce a cover edge 4 as can be seen clearly from Fig. 2 .
  • So-called warts 11 or wart holes 12 may be made in the cover edge 4.
  • Fig. 3 shows a panel frame 2. This is preferably we ⁇ e of four frame members 5, which are shown in more detail in Figs. 4-6.
  • the frame r ⁇ mbers 5 are produced, for example, by being punched out of a suitable sheet metal material.
  • Fig. 4 shows a flat frame member 5 in which in a suitable manner there are provided so-called glues holes 7 and pinholes 8, and a slit-shaped cut-out 10 which makes it easy to bend a part of the member 5 in order to produce a frame edge 6.
  • Fig. 5 shows the member 5 after bending and Fig. 6 is a side view of the member 5 with the edge 6.
  • Each member 5 is also made having lugs 9 which act as cover stops when the cover 1 is mounted on the frame 2 to form the complete panel.
  • the frame edge 6 can also be made having warts 11 or wart holes 12.
  • the purpose of the warts 11 and the wart holes 12 is that correspondingly arranged warts 11 and wart holes 12 on the cover edge 4 and the frame edge 6 respectively are to cooperate when the cover 1 is mounted on the frame 2 in that a fastening mechanism is formed so that the cover 1 is locked to the frame 2.
  • the panel is thus easy to open and close for any repair work or the like.
  • the frame members 5 are preferably made completely identical and are joined in an appropriate manner, for example, by spot welding as indicated by the reference numeral 13 in Fig. 3.
  • the frame 2 consists of four completely identical members 5 results in a considerable saving in production as only one punching tool is required.
  • Each member 5 can then be made in different lengths so that they can easily be combined to make several sizes of frame 2 for panels of different sizes, for example, 15x15, 15x20, 20x20 or any size at all. The whole process can be carried out without making a new punching tool for a new frame size.
  • the interior width of the frame 2 is not limited to the measurements of the actual panel or cover 1, which means that the whole interior width is available for work behind or within the panel.
  • the glue holes 7 in the frame 2 have the following function: When the frame 2 is mounted together with tiles on a wall, it is pushed into the tile glue and the glue penetrates into the holes so that the tiles closest to the frame 2 also have a good adhesive bond.
  • the pinholes 8 are designed for use to fasten the frame 2 with small pins or screws in order to prevent the frame from moving before the glue has dried. Holes may be provided in the end of each frame member 5, and corresponding warts in the adjacent frame member 5. This arrangement serves to orient the frame members correctly relative to one another during the spot welding.
  • the lugs 9 or the so-called panel stops serve as a stop collar against which the cover 1 or panel stops so that the cover or panel cannot be pushed right through the frame 2.
  • the panel according to the invention is very flexible as regards mounting.
  • openings or holes are provided in a wall, which are slightly larger than the panel, tiles are laid close to the point at which the panel is to be positioned. If it is then seen that the frame 2 must be adjusted vertically and/or horizontally to fit the joints of the tile in order to be neat, this is not a problem because of the relatively broad frame members.
  • the frame 2 can be adjusted substantially in all directions, and when the right position has been found, it can, if necessary, be fastened using screws or pins in the holes 8.
  • the tiles are laid and grouted so as to be finished.
  • the cover 1 is pressed into place on the frame 2.
  • the panel can be opened and closed without there being any need to remove the grouting and to regrout afterwards. If the panel is only to be used as an access panel, the cover provided with vents can of course be replaced by a simple cover without such openings.
  • one or more of the broad portions of the frame can be cut off, if so required.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un panneau de ventilation et/ou d'accès, constitué d'un film métallique adapté et comprenant un couvercle (1), éventuellement équipé d'évents (3), et un cadre plat (2). Le couvercle (1) est monté amovible sur le cadre (2). Le cadre (2) est spécialement conçu pour être connecté à une ouverture située dans une paroi ou un élément similaire, en particulier une paroi qui doit être recouverte de carreaux et de coulis ou qui doit être revêtue d'une autre manière similaire. Le cadre (2) et le couvercle (1) sont équipés de systèmes de fixation coopérants (11, 12). Le cadre (2) est constitué d'une pluralité d'éléments de cadre de forme identique (5) qui sont assemblés au niveau de leurs zones d'extrémité respectives afin de former le cadre (2). Les systèmes de fixation (11, 12) sont respectivement placés dans une arête de cadre (6), à la périphérie interne du cadre (2). Ladite arête de cadre (6) s'étend dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan superficiel du cadre (2). Une arête de couvercle (4), située sur la périphérie externe du couvercle (1), s'étend dans le même plan que l'arête de cadre (6), de façon que le cadre (2) peut être réglé à la fois dans la direction horizontale et dans la direction verticale par rapport à une ouverture de paroi ou similaire dans laquelle le panneau doit être monté.
