Abstract

Body hygiene device with a building-side lining of building parts (2) by flat, plate-shaped wall elements (5) having rear-side profiles (14, 31, 41, 60), which are interchangeably connected to a building-side one-piece bracket (1) ,

Description

The invention relates to a device for personal hygiene with an on-site lining by flat, plate-shaped wall elements, as they are particularly useful in the bathroom area.

By the EP 1 710 363 B1 is a glass panel wall system for designing a building interior with at least one glass plate has become known, which is attached via two building profiles to be connected to the building and two cooperating with these, to be fixed to the glass plate glass plate profiles, so that the mounted glass plate can be arranged substantially horizontally , Wherein the entire weight of the glass plate is supported on the lower profile pair and at the same time the front of the glass pane in the mounted state is free of elements of the building or glass plate holder profiles.

Another cladding system for a wall shows the DE 10 2007 041 362 A1 in that the cladding system comprises a cladding panel with a lower fastening system for fastening the cladding panel in the region of its lower edge and an upper fastening system for fastening the cladding panel in the region of its upper edge.

Renovations of the aging bathroom or shower areas can sometimes be carried out only with major structural changes. In particular, when old bathtubs are removed and in their place the shower systems mainly used today should be installed. In particular, the wall area is partially covered with old tiles and the area in which the bathtub has stood, is free of tiles. To renovate these wall areas in total with a new tile floor is very time consuming and associated with high costs.

The object of the invention is to design a device for personal hygiene with simple means without great expenditure of time and beyond cost and permanently.

The object of the invention is solved by the features of claims 1 to 4. The subordinate claims to the main claims give a further embodiment of the inventive concept again.

The invention offers in a unique way the ability to perform a renovation but also a redesign of a shell in the bathroom with simple but very efficient means. For plate-shaped planar wall elements are used, which can consist of different materials. Glass panes or plastic panes but also metal and other flat elements have proven to be particularly suitable in the application. By using the flat, plate-shaped wall elements extensive on-site construction work can be avoided. It is basically possible that only the area of a shower enclosure or a bath area is configured with the plate-shaped wall elements. In the context of the invention, it is also possible that the entire wall-side room design is covered with such flat, plate-shaped wall elements. Such a procedure offers in many respects an optimal device which is very attractive both in design, e.g. due to different color versions, as well as the modern hygienic requirements. Furthermore, only very short construction times are required in the application of the attachment of the plate-shaped wall elements according to the invention.

Since the existing walls are not in an optimal state, which means that they are not perpendicular and do not run straight in the longitudinal extension, a remedy can be provided by the inventive concept, in conjunction with a frame-shaped construction attached to the existing wall become. Just by the frame-shaped design of the substructure, which is part of a connection between existing wall and newly introduced wall elements, it is possible to compensate for existing construction errors by leveling the frame construction.

Such a frame construction consists essentially of vertically extending spacer or intermediate elements, which are connected horizontally with an upper-side and a lower-side profile to form a statically formed frame. Such a construction ensures that the top and bottom profiles are absolutely parallel to each other and at the same time creates an exact spacing difference between the profiles through the intermediate element. Such a procedure reduces assembly times and at the same time assembly errors are eliminated, as they may arise, for example, by the illustrated prior art.

Furthermore, by suitable insulating materials, e.g. between the wall frame construction or directly on the back of the wall element, additional sound and heat insulation can be achieved.

The other part of the connection between the existing room wall, the attached frame construction and the new to be added Wall element initially forms a lower element profile, which has a lower Aufstandsschenkel, which can be additionally provided with a sealing element. On this Aufstandsschenkel the load transfer of the plate-shaped element is performed simultaneously. This profile is attached to the back of the plate-shaped element by an adhesive connection thereto. At the same time, however, is located on this profile also designed for frame construction cantilever part, which forms a connection with a first part of a connection to the vertical orientation of the plate-shaped element to the frame construction. In this case, the second part of the connection, which is located on the wall side and may be part of the wall attachment, a complementary shape, so that between the first and the second part of the compound, a positive, formed with an engagement connection is ensured. By such a positive connection of the two mold parts, it is possible to make a position change here after the placement of the plate-shaped element in the lower region so that there is a vertical arrangement of the wall element.

So that the wall element is also held in the upper area, here is another connection by a bond with a profile available. This profile preferably has an attack on the front of the plate-shaped wall element. By this encroachment, which can also be generated by a separate profile, it is possible that the plate-shaped wall element can not be completely unintentionally solved by the connection profile, for example in defective or loosening adhesive bonds.

To make such a connection with the frame construction, there are various possibilities. In a preferred embodiment it is possible to carry out the upper termination by a separate profile which is not connected to the upper connection profile and nevertheless fulfills the desired safety level. In this case, the profile is formed so that on the front an attack is present and the attachment to the wall-side profile. By this arrangement, a secure placement of the element, regardless of the connection of the upper Verbindungsprofiles possible. At the same time, this profile can also provide an upper secure degree.

The upper connection profile is connected to the wall-side bracket by a game executed with connector. This plug-in connection extends, for example, under a slope, so that the insertion and thus, as it were, hanging of the plate-shaped element in a simple manner is possible. The connector can also be performed by straight leg.

The above-described wall mount is applicable in many ways, as well as the shower area above bathtubs, and also in a general room lining, the wall mount can be used and executed inexpensively. Behind the wall elements, which are attached due to the holder distanced to the building wall, easily supply lines in the form of water connections or lighting devices can be formed. In an embodiment in which holes are located within the wall element, it is possible to connect the water-carrying lines to a fitting on and in the wall elements.

Also, the combination of wall profiles with partition elements is possible because it is possible to the area of the body hygiene device also directed laterally into the room or foreclosed forward. In this case, such wall profiles can be designed so that fixed glass elements or the like or even spatially changeable glass elements are used.

Especially in the field of interior design, and in particular during renovation work, the wall elements according to the invention offer to replace the previous wall formations cost and quickly, without the old existing wall coverings must be removed expensive or replaced. In a version made of glass or plastic, it is possible that the wall-side surface of the wall element can be glued or sandblasted or etched or coated or printed. There are no barriers to the most diverse execution options. Due to the construction method, it is possible that several elements are used side by side but also one above the other.

Further advantages, features and possible applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

The wall element 5 has contact with a riot on his lower side 15 an element profile 14 , To the riot thigh 15 , which is the lower edge of the wall element 5 does not surround, is at a angle of 90 ° a plant leg 16 available. This investment thigh 16 is with a back 37 of the wall element 5 through a connection surface 20 connected via an adhesive connection or a screw connection. In order to ensure a further assurance of this adhesive bond, goes from the plant leg 16 repellent a bend 17 out, leaving between the angulation 17 and the back 37 a room for a potting compound 21 arises. At the same time is from the plant leg 16 cantilevered an adjustment leg 19 with the wells 18 been presented. With the help of the depressions 18 and the projections 13 Thus, an adjustment in the ground area is possible. The area between the flooring 3 and the lower edge of the wall element 5 can through a potting compound 22 be closed.

By this above-described training are in the lower area for the wall element 5 An alignment and at the same time a load transfer safely ensured.

The upper area of the wall element 5 is in a first preferred embodiment by a connection profile 31 which is an attack 28 over the upper part of the wall element 5 has formed. The attack 28 goes into a back investment thigh 27 over, on a back 37 of the wall element 5 is attached by means of an adhesive bond or a screw connection. At the free end of the plant leg 27 is also a bend 17 present, so even between this angling 17 and the surface 37 also the potting compound 21 can be introduced. From the investment thigh 27 go a latching leg 30 in a preferred embodiment, at an acute angle from the plant leg 27 extends out. By forming the slope of the locking leg 30 it is possible in a simple manner, a game afflicted connection to the profile 7 manufacture. The profile 7 has an incision for it 25 on that by a front holding thigh 26 is limited. In this room of Nick 25 can by an inclination of the wall element 5 as it is in the partial view from the 5 can be removed by the execution in the direction of movement 32 and subsequent pivoting in the direction of movement 33 a simple installation of the wall element 5 be made. After the wall element 5 When it is in its horizontal position, it moves in the direction of movement 34 moves, joining the connection to make the positive connection in addition to the uprising on the flooring 3 guaranteed. Should the wall element 5 do not extend over the entire height of the wall, so it is possible to use the upper termination between the wall element 5 and the building part 2 through a cover 24 complete.

The 4 shows a modified embodiment of the upper area. In a further preferred embodiment, the attack is 28 Part of a separate profile 39 , The profile 39 acts in addition to the security against a release of the element 5 from the connection profile 31 or 41 at the same time as the top cover for the cavity 23 behind the element 5 , The profile 39 is there by a connection 40 with the profile 7 releasably connected. The connection profile 41 points in the area of the connection with the wall element 5 doing a straight plant thigh 27 on.

In the 5 is an exemplary embodiment of a body hygiene device in a two angularly arranged building parts 2 played. Here are the brackets 1 after alignment with the building parts 2 attached. As this illustration makes clear in particular, it is possible on any surface of a building or part of a building 2 the holder 1 functioning to install. It does not matter if several of the brackets 1 be placed next to each other or on top of each other.

According to this embodiment 5 is in the lower floor of the shower floor 3 been presented. On this shower floor 3 the bottom leg is supported 12 of the profile 6 , and after joining with the element profile 14 , this one with the riot thigh 15 from. A gap remaining there between the edge of the wall element 5 and the shower floor 3 can through a potting compound 22 be securely closed against ingress of moisture.

According to the embodiment 6 is on the left bracket 1 a wall element 5 attached. Inside the wall element 5 is a fitting 23 which makes it possible to use the area as a shower enclosure.

Additionally are on the respective sides of the shower floor 3 wall profiles 36 been placed. These wall profiles 36 serve to partition walls 39 take. At the partitions 61 it can be fixed or movable partitions 61 act. Due to the additional use of partitions 61 Can this from the faucet 23 leaking water does not reach outside the shower area and is via a floor drain 35 be dissipated.

To the universality of the attachment of the wall elements 5 Once again, it will be on the 7 directed. This is under discontinuation of the brackets 1 clearly that the wall elements 5 distanced to the building parts 2 are arranged. A remaining space behind can be used in multiple exercise. This may be in addition to the attachment in a preferred embodiment for leads 40 to the fitting 23 serve. However, it is also possible that in this space between the wall element 5 and the building part 2 , A lighting device behind the, as a glass sheet or the like, running wall elements 5 is integrated.

The lateral conclusion of these mutually standing wall elements 5 each forms the wall profile 36 , in each case the partition 61 is used. Such a wall profile 36 can be designed both as a fixed profile, but also as a profile, the pivoting of the partition used 61 allows. Between a retaining leg and a clamping leg can with the addition of seals the partition 61 in the wall profile 36 be introduced.

In the 8th is in a cutout representation unlike that in the 7 executed angular training, of two angularly facing wall elements 5 a corner joint 53 in particular, which allows the water-carrying supply lines 40 also easier to execute on the wall area in a corner. This is the corner joint 53 essentially two clamping legs 54 . 55 formed, but no sharp corner area, but a rounding 63 have in the corner. One behind the other are clamping legs 54 . 55 on the backs 37 and on the front pages 38 the wall elements 5 come to rest, through a connecting element 58 , which in multiple numbers on the height of the wall elements 5 applied, connected. The connecting element 58 is preferably designed as a screw and in a screw holder 57 that attach to the clamping leg 54 is connected. This screw holder 57 can also be formed as a continuous channel, for example in a plastic or metal version. Furthermore, by using the clamping legs 54 . 55 also an adjustment of the wall elements 5 be easily executed in the horizontal extension.

As the excerpts representation of the figure descriptions makes it clear, with the help of the wall-mounted bracket 1 and on the wall element 5 attached profiles 6 . 7 an embodiment of a body hygiene device of any kind possible. So it is possible that several wall elements 5 placed next to each other as well as above each other. The same applies, in addition to the above-described exemplary shower area, of course, also for a bathtub. In a version in conjunction with a bathtub, it is also possible that the partitions 39 next to or between the wall profiles 36 be used.

According to the embodiment 1 is, in contrast to the embodiment according to 3 , given the possibility of the water-bearing supply lines 40 on the building part 2 and thus behind the wall element 5 to change in their original position. This is particularly important for renovations of great importance because thus appropriate caulking in the building part 2 become unnecessary.

The profile 6 will be in the execution 1 additionally on a profile 51 on the other hand, on the ground 4 has been placed. Such a measure makes it possible to level out more precise heights, in particular during renovation work. According to this embodiment 1 is the bottom leg 12 in its distance to the building wall 2 run longer so as to supply the leads 40 to have more space available. However, this can also be in a shortened version, like the 2 represents, realized.

In the element profile 14 is in the version additionally a profile recording 48 formed in the tread leg, can be used in the additional sealing elements. The front area to the shower floor 3 forms the potting compound 22 , Due to the additional use of sealing elements in the tread leg 15 can be an additional seal or even a single seal without the use of the potting compound 22 be executed.

The upper part of the holder 1 forms a profile 47 , which has a front holding thigh 26 with a substantially parallel design to the wall element 5 includes. Between the holding leg 26 and the rest of the profile is the nick 25 available in vertical version. With the incision 25 and the holding leg 26 acts a substantially straight running locking leg 30 together, the part of an upper connection profile 60 is and essentially to the plant leg 27 is trained. Following the distanced locking leg 30 is the investment thigh 27 designed to attach to the back 37 of the wall element 5 and about the connection 29 connected to this. The upper outer part in the area of a glass edge 62 is also influenced by the design of the attack 28 on the front 38 of the wall element 5 certainly. From the investment thigh 27 goes, directed to the building part 2 , a thigh 59 off, so that between the thigh 59 and the plant leg 27 a depression 49 arises. This depression 49 is there to the cover 24 with the thigh 43 of the profile 27 within a depression 50 use. Through the cover 24 Thus, an upper clean finish is created, which can also be optionally equipped with ventilation holes.

In the 2 In essence, the same embodiment of the preferred embodiment will be described 1 played. Where in this embodiment, the profile 47 a shortened thigh 44 has, analogous to the shortened bottom leg 12 is executed. In this version, it is possible that the supply lines 40 within the building part 2 be incorporated or already incorporated.

Furthermore, the 2 clearly that preferably in the area of the building part 2 an insulation 46 can be installed. Between the insulation 46 and the back 37 of the wall element 5 can a room 42 be present, which can be used for lighting purposes or the like.

Like the description of 1 and 2 illustrates, in these embodiments, the wall element 5 inserted and attached with the connecting parts from above into the upper and lower connection. This is particularly applicable when above the wall element 5 enough space is available. In contrast, according to the remarks of the 3 and 4 Such an application, for example, in up to a ceiling extending wall elements 5 , the insertion from the bottom up over the direction of movement 32 allows.
