description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a built-in box, preferably as a semi-finished product, for wall-flush installation in a wall / front wall, in particular relates to a waterproof installation box for sanitary installations in wet cells or in the kitchen.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] There is a great need in the market for providing storage of objects in wet cells or in kitchen kitchens rather than the usual wall-mounted fixtures. This offers the advantage that no objects protrude from the wall surfaces. Furthermore, no fasteners such as screws or the necessary holes are necessary.

[0003] As a rule, such wall niches are tipped for the storage of objects by a plasterer or tiler. The surfaces of the niches are then compensated with mortar or the like.

[0004] Subsequently, wall coverings (such as, for example, tiles) are laid in the interior or around the wall niche. Alternatively, an installation box made of different panels (such as gypsum boards) can be manufactured manually and inserted into the prepared wall niche. The manual individual production of such boxes is, however, very time-consuming. In addition, the shape variability and precision of such on-site, manually individually constructed mounting boxes is very limited and unpredictable.

[0005] In order to offer an ideal water drainage as well as a visually attractive solution, it is indispensable that the built-in box be installed flush with the wall in the wall.

[0006] A further difficulty / problem of these solutions results from the fact that in wet cells strict building standards and regulations concerning the watertightness are to be observed.

[0007] According to the known solutions, the watertightness has been ensured by the fact that the interior of such wall-mounted / built-in boxes has been sealed manually (mostly by the tiler). However, this work is very time-consuming and error-prone. Particularly in the area of corners and edges, it is very difficult to produce a properly processed seal which meets the requirements.

OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The technical object of the invention to be solved is to provide a mounting box with a storage surface for the storage of objects which offers increased flexibility of shape, reduced installation times and guaranteed watertightness.

[0009] A further object of the invention is to provide a method for the waterproof, wall-flush installation of such an assembly box, which reduces the installation time massively and at the same time guarantees the sealing of the northerly seal. In addition, the method is intended to enable a flush installation as well as functionally as well as optically high-quality flush mounting.

Disclosure of the Invention [0010] The above-identified technical objects of the invention are solved by a mounting box having two side walls and a floor; An interior space accessible through an opening, with a storage surface for the storage of objects; A flange running around the opening and extending substantially perpendicular to the side walls and / or to the floor, all the walls of the mounting box being closed in themselves and being connected to each other in a watertight manner.

[0011] The above-identified technical objects of the invention are achieved by a method for wall-flush installation of a mounting box comprising the steps of: a) creating a wall niche in a wall; B) providing a above-described mounting box; C) Inserting the mounting box into the wall niche so that the flange sits flat on an outer surface of the wall. Advantageous effects The most important advantage of the invention is that a mounting box is available as a semi-finished waterproof semi-finished product, which can be installed in a time-saving manner, whilst adherence to strict building standards and regulations relating to waterproofing can be guaranteed. The time-consuming and non-reliable sealing of the box interior is no longer necessary.

[0013] In a further advantage of the invention lies the flexibility of the shape design of the mounting box, which offers a great deal of freedom both for creativity and for functionality. This results in the possibility to provide a mounting box in all possible sizes and shapes.

[0014] In addition, the box can be coated with many different materials. Furthermore, the flange and the sealing bands applied there can be processed without problems with different materials without any problem. Thus, a visually beautiful solution can be offered economically.
