Description

Drainage channel for floor-level showers

The invention relates to a gutter for a floor-level shower, with a gutter body and at least one

Gutter end piece.

Drainage channels for floor-level showers are known. They usually comprise a gutter body made of stainless steel, on which a drain neck is formed or welded and in which a grid is inserted. The water from the shower flows over the floor, which is typically covered with tiles or natural stone slabs, and enters the gutter through the grate. The gutter of the channel body ultimately leads the water to a drain. Such gutters are installed in the ground, with the grate up close to about the floor covering the shower. The installation of a shower tray or the like is not required, so that the peripheral edge of the

Shower tray, which often has a disturbing effect, is eliminated.

Gullies for floor-level showers have to be adapted in a special way to the special installation site, as the substructure, the floor covering made of tiles or natural stone and the connection to the sewer pipe from case to case

may vary and usually only a low height is available. Above all, such

Gutters ensure a safe drainage of the water, in which the bottom floor construction, consisting of screed and if necessary thermal insulation, not soaked. In addition, they should be aesthetically integrated into the ground.

Due to different customer requirements or different space conditions in shower baths different lengths shower channel bodies are offered. conventional

Shower channel bases are available, for example, with a uniform width of about 140 mm in stepped lengths of 750 mm, 800 mm, 900 mm, 1000 mm and 1200 mm. As a result, a large number of different shower channels are produced and kept in stock. The scope of a particular conventional shower channel is usually limited. In addition, there is sometimes the customer request that the surface of the shower channel visible in the completely installed state, that is to say in particular its grate, is made as small or narrow as possible. The shower channel is then less noticeable or looks more elegant in its aesthetic appearance.

The present invention has for its object to provide a gutter for floor-level showers that can be produced more cost-effectively than conventional shower channels and in the fully installed state has a relatively small visible surface at high drainage capacity.

This object is achieved by a drainage channel (shower channel) with the features of claim 1. The gutter according to the invention is characterized in that the at least one gutter end piece releasably connectable to the gutter body and associated with the gutter body Sealing is provided, wherein the at least one gutter end piece has at least one recess or holder for supporting one end of a rod-like body, which in the mounted state along and within the

Inlet opening of the gutter body extends.

The drainage channel according to the invention (shower channel) is based on the idea, the gutter body arbitrarily long, for example in a length in the range of 1200 mm to 2000 mm

so that the gutter body before installing the

Drainage can be shortened according to the customer request by means of a saw or other cutting tool. The gutter body or gutter can be optimally adapted in this way to a tile or Bodenplattenformat or a joint grid. Also by appropriate cutting (shortening) of the gutter body of the gutter according to the invention an optimal adaptation to the horizontal

Extension of serving as a shower screen glass or to the width of a shower room niche possible. It must be produced by the manufacturer so no special lengths more. The open end of the suit

tailored gutter body is sealed off liquid-tight in each case by means of the associated gutter end piece and the associated seal.

By restricting the number of different gutter lengths to one, two, three or at most four specific lengths, lower production costs and lower logistics costs can be reduced

Achieve shower channels. Likewise, an optimized storage logistics can be achieved in this case with dealers supplied with the shower channels according to the invention. Furthermore, the gutter according to the invention is based on the idea, instead of a typically plate-shaped grate

preferably a single rod-like body or

as few, for example, two or three, rod-like body (grate bars) provided at the top of the inlet opening of the gutter. The grate bar or the grate bars extend in the assembled state along and within the inlet opening of the channel body and are mounted in or on the gutter end piece. This idea takes into account and favors the variable length adaptability of

gutter according to the invention. The respective rod-shaped body (grate bar) is preferably longer than the

Channel body and can also be cut to the required length depending on the desired length of the gutter. In particular, the use of a single rod-like body favors or less

Rod-like body (grate bars) a reduction of visible in the fully installed state surface of the gutter. Preferably, in the finished state of the floor-level

Shower essentially only the single or the few rod-like body of the gutter (shower channel) visible. When using several rod-like bodies (grate bars), the distance between adjacent grate bars is in particular at most 8 mm, preferably at most 6 mm and particularly preferably at most 4 mm. The solution according to the invention

allows in particular a very narrow design of a shower channel with high drainage performance compared to conventional, having a plate-shaped grate

Shower channel. In addition, the solution according to the invention also enables a saving of material costs in relation to the otherwise conventional plate-shaped stainless steel grid. In order to achieve a flush finish of the gutter in a simple way to adapt

To allow different thickness floor tiles or floor panels, provides a preferred embodiment of

Drainage channel according to the invention that the storage of the rod-shaped body serving recess or holder is provided with an adjusting element, by means of which the

Height level of the rod-like body can be adjusted relative to the gutter body or its top.

To make the handling of the adjustment as simple as possible, preferably a tool-free handling of the adjustment is to be possible, provides a further embodiment that the adjustment can be positively inserted into the recess of the gutter tail or

positive fit with the holder of the gutter tail

is connectable. A particularly preferred embodiment consists in the fact that the recess has a tooth-like profile for the positive reception of the adjusting element and gradual height adjustment of the rod-like body. The tooth-like profile may have a relatively fine pitch, so that if necessary, a correspondingly fine Höhenj ustierung of the rod-like body can be done.

A further advantageous embodiment of the drainage channel according to the invention is that the gutter end piece has a groove facing the gutter body into which a

End portion of the gutter body can be inserted, wherein the gutter body associated seal in the recess

is arranged. The recess of the gutter tail has in particular a the installation of the gutter tail facilitating leadership function. Furthermore, the arrangement of the seal in the recess makes it possible to ensure a reliable attachment of the seal to the end face of the channel body to be sealed.

The detachable connection of gutter body and gutter tail can be performed for example as a frictional connector. An additional fixation of the gutter tail on the gutter body can after connecting the

Drain channel to a sewer line by introducing

Cement screed made in the surrounding the gutter bottom area. However, an embodiment in which the gutter end piece is detachably connected to the gutter body by means of a screw connection is particularly preferred. This makes it possible to ensure an absolutely reliable sealing of the end of the gutter body.

An advantageous development of the gutter according to the invention provides in this context that the channel body has parallel to its longitudinal axis extending grooves, holes or channels for attachment of tapping screws. Preferably, these grooves or channels extend over the entire length of the channel body, so that regardless of where the channel body is optionally shortened for length adjustment of the gutter, the tapping screws can always be screwed into the grooves or channels cutting.
