Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen flächenbündig in eine Tischplatte einbaubaren Einsatz, insbesondere Einbauspüle oder Einbaukochmulde, wobei der Einsatz am äußeren Umfang einen umlaufenden Rand aufweist und unter Zwischenlage eines Profilrahmens in einen entsprechenden Ausschnitt der Tischplatte einsetzbar und darin zu befestigen ist.The invention relates to a flush-mountable insert, in particular a built-in sink or built-in hob, the insert having a circumferential edge on the outer circumference and insertable in a corresponding cutout of the tabletop and to be fastened therein.

Bei den herkömmlichen, nicht flächenbündigen Einbauspülen oder Kochmulden liegt ihr Rand in eingebautem Zustand auf der-Tischplatte auf und wird durch besondere Spannvorrichtungen die längs des Umfanges der Spüle bzw. der Kochmulde unterhalb ihres Randes angebracht sind, gegen die Tischplattenoberseite verspannt. Damit wird ein relativ dichter und gleichmäßiger Anschluß zwischen dem Küchengerät und der Tischplatte sichergestellt.In the case of conventional, non-flush-fitting built-in sinks or hobs, their edge lies in the installed state on the table top and is clamped against the top of the table top by means of special tensioning devices which are attached along the circumference of the sink or hobs below their edge. This ensures a relatively tight and even connection between the kitchen appliance and the table top.

Die Bedienung der Spannvorrichtungen ist jedoch wegen ihrer schlechten Zugänglichkeit seit jeher problematisch. Es existieren hierüber diverse Konstruktionsvorschläge, die jedoch allesamt unbefriedigend sind.The operation of the clamping devices has always been problematic because of their poor accessibility. There are various design proposals about this, but all of them are unsatisfactory.

Außerdem ist der Übergang von der Tischplatte zu dem aufliegenden Rand der Spüle bzw. der Kochmulde schlecht zu reinigen. Nicht zuletzt ist die Abdichtung dieses Überganges problematisch, da Spritzwasser mit der Zeit den Spülrand unterwandert, insbesondere wenn die ursprüngliche Abdichtung gealtert und spröde geworden ist.In addition, the transition from the table top to the overlying edge of the sink or hob is difficult to clean. Last but not least, the sealing of this transition is problematic since water splashes over the rim of the rinsing over time, especially if the original sealing has aged and become brittle.

Es sind daher Bestrebungen im Gange, die Spüle derart in die Tischplatte zu integrieren, daß sie ohne vorstehende Teile, also flächenbündig eingebaut werden kann und auch die aufwendigen Spannvorrichtungen entfallen können. Eine derartige flächenbündige Einbauspüle mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Patentanspruch 1 ist durch die US-A-2 506 541 bekannt. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, daß eine dauerhaft dichte und sichere Verbindung zwischen Spüle und Tischplatte nur dann gewährleistet ist, wenn der komplette Einbau der Spüle einschließlich der Abdichtung des vertikalen Spaltes zwischen dem Profilrahmen und der Tischplatte beim Küchenmöbelhersteller erfolgt. Die Spüle muß daher in festmontiertem Zustand zusammen mit der Tischplatte versandt werden, was bereits ein erheblicher Nachteil beim Transport ist, und vor allem kann bei Beschädigungen der Spüle - sei es beim Transport, sei es während der Benutzung durch den Kunden - die Spüle nicht mehr ersetzt werden, sondern es muß die gesamte Tischplatte montiert und an das Küchenmöbelherstellerwerk zurückgeschickt werden. Aus diesem Grund konnten sich die bisher bekannten integrierten Einbauspülen nicht durchsetzen.Efforts are therefore underway to integrate the sink into the table top in such a way that it can be installed flush with the surface without protruding parts and the complex clamping devices can also be dispensed with. Such a flush-mounted built-in sink with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-2 506 541. It has been shown that a permanently tight and secure connection between the sink and table top is only guaranteed if the complete installation of the sink, including the sealing of the vertical gap between the profile frame and the table top, takes place at the kitchen furniture manufacturer. The sink must therefore be shipped together with the table top in a fixed state, which is already a considerable disadvantage during transport, and above all if the sink is damaged - be it during transport or during use by the customer - the sink can no longer must be replaced, but the entire table top must be assembled and sent back to the kitchen furniture manufacturer. For this reason the previously known built-in built-in sinks could not prevail.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine flächenbündige Einbauspüle oder Einbaukochmulde mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Patentanspruch 1 dahingehend zu verbessern, daß unter Verzicht auf besondere Spannvorrichtungen der Einbau der Spüle bzw. der Kochmulde erst beim Kunden erfolgt, so daß jederzeit ein leichter Austausch möglich ist und auch der Transport vereinfacht wird. Nicht zuletzt soll sich die erfindungsgemäße Einbauweise durch absolute Dichtheit, und zwar auch im Langzeitverhalten, auszeichnen.Proceeding from this, the object of the present invention is to improve a flush-mounted built-in sink or built-in hob with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1 in such a way that the sink or the hob is only installed at the customer's premises, without special tensioning devices, so that at any time easy replacement is possible and transport is also simplified. Last but not least, the method of installation according to the invention should be characterized by absolute tightness, even in the long-term behavior.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der obere Schenkel des Profitrahmens in den Tischplattenausschnitt hineinragt und mehrere nach unten ragende Befestigungsnoppen aufweist, die entsprechende Befestigungslöcher des Spülen- bzw. Kochmuldenrandes durchqueren. Hieran läßt sich die Einbauspüle der Kochmulde mittels Haltebügel und Schrauben in einfacher Weise befestigen.This object is achieved in that the upper leg of the profit frame protrudes into the table top cutout and has a plurality of downwardly protruding fastening knobs which pass through corresponding fastening holes in the rim of the sink or hob. The built-in sink of the hob can be easily attached to this using a bracket and screws.

Eine zweckmäßige Weiterbildung dieser Befestigungsnoppen besteht darin, daß der Spülen- bzw. Kochmuldenrand in den Befestigungsnoppen verrastbar ist. Er wird dadurch einer gewissen Vorbefestigung unterzogen, so daß die endgültige Verschraubung bequem möglich ist, ohne gleichzeitig die Spüle bzw. Kochmulde an den noch nicht befestigten Umfangsbereichen abstützen zu müssen. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, die Rastverbindung als formschlüssige Schnappverbindung vorzusehen, so daß auf zusätzliche Befestigungsschrauben zwischen Spüle- bzw. Kochmulde einerseits und Profilrahmen andererseits ganz verzichtet werden kann.An expedient development of these fastening knobs is that the rim of the sink or hob can be locked in the fastening knobs. As a result, it is subjected to a certain amount of pre-fastening, so that the final screw connection is conveniently possible without having to support the sink or hob at the peripheral areas that have not yet been fastened. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to provide the latching connection as a positive snap connection, so that additional fastening screws between the sink or hob on the one hand and the profile frame on the other hand can be dispensed with entirely.

Durch die besondere Gestaltung des Rahmens genügt es, wenn werksseitig nur dieser Rahmen mit der Tischplatte verbunden wird, wohingegen die Spüle bzw. die Kochmulde nachträglich beim Kunden montiert werden kann, in dem sie von unten in den paßgerecht geformten Profilrahmen hineingeschoben wird. Diese Art von Einbau hat den großen Vorteil, daß die Einbauspüle und/oder Einbaukochmulde zu jeder Zeit nachträglich ausgewechselt werden kann, ohne daß die Tischplatte demontiert werden muß. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil besteht darin, daß durch den überragenden Vorsprung der Tischplatte die eigentliche Abdichtzone zwischen Tischplatte, Profilrahmen und Spüle bzw. Kochmulde von der feuchtigkeitsempfindlichen Spanplattenschicht der Tischplatte distanziert wird. Außerdem kann die Spüle beim Kunden wahlweise links- oder rechtsherum eingebaut werden.Due to the special design of the frame, it is sufficient if only this frame is connected to the table top at the factory, whereas the sink or hob can be retrofitted to the customer by pushing it from below into the custom-shaped profile frame. This type of installation has the great advantage that the built-in sink and / or hob can be replaced at any time without the tabletop having to be removed. Another important advantage is that the actual sealing zone between table top, profile frame and sink or hob is distanced from the moisture-sensitive chipboard layer of the table top by the outstanding projection of the table top. In addition, the sink at the customer can either be installed left or right.

Der Rahmen wird werksseitig an seinen Außenseiten mit der Tischplatte verklebt und/oder verschraubt. Ist eine besonders gute Zentrierung erwünscht, so empfiehlt es sich, daß er unten einen nach außen ragenden, die Tischplattenunterkante untergreifenden Schenkel aufweist, der seinerseits von unten mit der Tischplatte verschraubt werden kann.The outside of the frame is glued and / or screwed to the table top at the factory. If a particularly good centering is desired, it is recommended that it has an outwardly projecting leg, which engages under the lower edge of the table top, which in turn can be screwed to the table top from below.

Eine andere zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der mit der Tischplatten-Oberseite fluchtende Vorsprung durch die Kunststoff-Kaschierung der Tischplatte gebildet wird. Diese Kaschierung ist ihrerseits nicht feuchtigkeitsempfindlich und ergibt eine breite Abdichtstrecke zur Spanplatte. In diesem Zusammenhang empfiehlt es sich, daß der obere horizontale Schenkel des Profilrahmens an seinem inneren Ende nach unten abgewinkelt ist und der Kontur der Spüle bzw. der Kochmulde folgt. Ist diese Abwinkelung etwas stärker als die des Einsatzes gewählt, so ergibt sich eine besonders gute Abdichtwirkung. Gegebenenfalls kann dieser Schenkel des Profilrahmens sich nach innen zu verjüngen, so daß man eine elastische Anpressung an den Rand des Einsatzes erhält.Another useful development of the invention is that the projection aligned with the table top is formed by the plastic lamination of the table top. This lamination is in turn not sensitive to moisture and results in a wide sealing distance to the chipboard. In this context, it is recommended that the upper horizontal leg of the profile frame is angled down at its inner end and the Contour of the sink or hob follows. If this angle is chosen to be somewhat greater than that of the insert, a particularly good sealing effect is obtained. If necessary, this leg of the profile frame can taper inwards, so that one obtains an elastic pressure on the edge of the insert.

Da lediglich der Rahmen werksseitig mit der Tischplatte verbunden wird, ist das Ausfräsen des Tischplattenausschnittes sehr genau möglich. Der Rahmen kann dadurch mit seiner vertikal verlaufenden Außenseite spaltfrei am Tischplattenausschnitt anliegen. Die Führung und Fixierung der Spüle bzw. Kochmulde wird dadurch verbessert.Since only the frame is connected to the table top at the factory, the table top cutout can be milled out very precisely. As a result, the frame, with its vertically running outside, can rest against the table top cutout without any gaps. The leadership and fixation of the sink or hob is improved.

Schließlich empfiehlt es sich, den Rahmen im Bereich der Armaturenkonsolen der Spüle mit nach innen laufenden Fortsätzen zu versehen, die die Armaturenkonsolen verstärken und selbst zur Befestigung der Hahnarmatur herangezogen werden können.Finally, it is advisable to provide the frame in the area of the faucet consoles with inward-extending extensions that reinforce the faucet consoles and can even be used to attach the tap fitting.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles; dabei zeigt

  • Figur 1 ein Schrägbild der Einbauteile in auseinandergezogener Darstellung;
  • Figur 2 einen Querschnitt durch den ausgefrästen Tischplattenrand;
  • Figur 3 den Querschnitt gemäß Figur 2, jedoch mit eingeklebtem Profilrahmen;
  • Figur 4 einen ebensolchen Querschnitt mit montierter Spüle und
  • Figur 5 einen ähnlichen Querschnitt wie Figur 4 mit leicht geändertem Profilrahmen.
Further features and advantages of the invention result from the following description of an exemplary embodiment; shows
  • Figure 1 is an oblique view of the built-in parts in an exploded view;
  • Figure 2 shows a cross section through the milled table top edge;
  • Figure 3 shows the cross section according to Figure 2, but with glued profile frame;
  • Figure 4 is a similar cross section with the sink and
  • Figure 5 shows a cross section similar to Figure 4 with a slightly changed profile frame.

Wie die Gesamtdarstellung in Figur 1 zeigt, wird der Einsatz, im Ausführungsbeispiel eine Spüle 1 unter Zwischenlage eines Profilrahmens 2 aus Kunststoff von unten in den Ausschnitt 3a einer Tischplatte 3 oder dergleichen eingesteckt und darin befestigt.As the overall illustration in FIG. 1 shows, the insert, in the exemplary embodiment a sink 1 with a plastic frame 2 interposed, is inserted from below into the cutout 3a of a table top 3 or the like and fastened therein.

Der Tischausschnitt 3a erfolgt beim Küchenmöbelhersteller. Die Tischplatte 3 wird dabei auf die mit Kunststoff beschichtete Sichtseite gelegt und genau entsprechend der Außenkontur der Spüle 1 bis auf die Kunststoffbeschichtung 3b ausgefräst. Die Kunststoffbeschichtung selbst erhält einen etwas kleineren Ausschnitt, so daß sie die Tischplatte nach innen überragt, vergleiche Figur 2.The table cutout 3a is made by the kitchen furniture manufacturer. The table top 3 is placed on the plastic-coated visible side and milled exactly according to the outer contour of the sink 1 except for the plastic coating 3b. The plastic coating itself has a somewhat smaller cutout so that it projects over the table top inwards, see FIG. 2.

Aus Stabilitätsgründen des Profilrahmens 2 empfiehlt es sich, an der Unterkante der Tischplatte 3 eine zusätzliche Ausfräsung 3c vorzunehmen, die der Außenkontur des Kunststoffrahmens 2 angepaßt ist. Da der Rahmen 2 in seiner Höhe etwa auf die Tischplattenstärke abgestimmt ist, wird durch die Ausfräsung 3c gewährleistet, daß der Rahmen an seiner Unterseite bündig mit der Tischplattenunterseite abschließt.For reasons of stability of the profile frame 2, it is advisable to carry out an additional milling 3c on the lower edge of the table top 3, which is adapted to the outer contour of the plastic frame 2. Since the height of the frame 2 is approximately matched to the table top thickness, the milling 3c ensures that the frame is flush with the underside of the table top on its underside.

Der in den Tischplattenausschnitt eingelegte Rahmen 2 ist in Figur 3 dargestellt. Man erkennt, daß der Rahmen aus einem vertikalen Mittelstück 2a, einem oberen in den Tischplattenausschnitt hineinragenden Schenkel 2b und einem unteren, die Tischplattenunterkante umgreifenden, horizontal nach außen ragenden Schenkel 2c besteht.The frame 2 inserted in the table top cutout is shown in FIG. It can be seen that the frame consists of a vertical center piece 2a, an upper leg 2b protruding into the table top cut-out and a lower leg 2c which engages around the lower edge of the table top and projects horizontally outwards.

Da der Tischplattenausschnitt werksseitig vorgenommen wird, kann er sehr genau auf die Außenkontur des Rahmens 2 und des Einsatzes angepaßt werden und der Rahmen liegt allseits spaltfrei an der Tischplatte an. Seine Verbindung mit, der Tischplatte erfolgt durch Verkleben und/ oder durch Anschrauben des unteren Schenkels 2c mittels Holzschrauben 4.Since the table top cutout is made at the factory, it can be adapted very precisely to the outer contour of the frame 2 and the insert, and the frame lies on the table top without any gaps. It is connected to the table top by gluing and / or by screwing the lower leg 2c using wood screws 4.

In diesem Zustand wird die Tischplatte vom Küchenmöbelhersteller an den Kunden versandt.In this state, the table top is sent to the customer by the kitchen furniture manufacturer.

Die Montage des Einsatzes, also der Spüle oder der Kochmulde erfolgt bauseits beim Kunden. Um dies zu vereinfachen, insbesondere auf die bisher meist üblichen, schwierig zu handhabenden Spannvorrichtungen zu verdichten, kann der obere Schenkel 2b des Rahmens 2 an seiner Unterseite zahlreiche nach unten ragende, etwas zylindrische Noppen 5 aufweisen. Diese Noppen rasten genau in entsprechende Befestigungslöcher der Spüle oder der Kochmulde ein. Diese Rastverbindung kann so ausgestaltet sein, daß sie allein den Halt der Spüle gewährleistet, etwa in dem vom unteren Ende der Noppen 5 mehrere abgespreizte elastische Finger 5a schräg nach oben verlaufen, die sich beim Einschieben der Spüle zunächst in entsprechende Ausnehmungen des Noppens hineindrücken lassen, die jedoch nach außen schnappen und die Spüle formschlüssig von unten arretieren, sobald sie in ihre Endlage hineingedrückt worden ist.The customer installs the insert, i.e. the sink or the hob. In order to simplify this, in particular to compress it to the tensioning devices which have been mostly customary to date and are difficult to handle, the upper leg 2b of the frame 2 can have numerous downwardly projecting, somewhat cylindrical knobs 5. These knobs snap into the corresponding mounting holes in the sink or hob. This latching connection can be designed in such a way that it alone ensures the hold of the sink, for example in which several spread-apart elastic fingers 5a run obliquely upwards from the lower end of the knobs 5, which fingers can first be pushed into corresponding recesses in the knobs when the sink is pushed in, which snap outwards and lock the sink positively from below as soon as it has been pressed into its end position.

Um eine spielfreie und sichere Anlage zwischen Spülenoberseite und Rahmen sicherzustellen weist der obere Schenkel 2b des Rahmens an seinem freien Ende eine sich verjüngende, nach unten laufende Abwinkelung auf. Sie liegt mit einer gewissen Verspannung am Schwallrand der Spüle auf und sorgt dadurch für eine zuverlässige Abdichtung.In order to ensure a play-free and secure contact between the top of the sink and the frame, the upper leg 2b of the frame has a tapering, downward angling at its free end. It lies with a certain amount of tension on the surge edge of the sink and thus ensures a reliable seal.

Die Rastverbinduing kann stattdessen aber auch nur für eine Vorfixierung der Spüle herangezogen werden, um ihr nachträgliches Verschrauben zu erleichtern. Eine solche Schraubverbindung ist in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellt. Dabei wird über die Noppen 5 jeweils ein U-förmiger oder ein hutförmiger Haltebügel 6 gestülpt. Dieser Haltebügel wird dann über jeweils eine Befestigungsschraube 7, die von unten in ihren zugehörigen Noppen 5 hineingeschraubt wird, gegen die Unterseite des Spülenrandes 1a gepreßt.Instead, the snap connection can only be used for pre-fixing the sink to make it easier to screw it on afterwards. Such a screw connection is shown in Figures 4 and 5. A U-shaped or a hat-shaped bracket 6 is placed over the knobs 5. This retaining bracket is then pressed against the underside of the sink rim 1 a via a fastening screw 7, which is screwed into its associated knobs 5 from below.

Figur 5 zeigt den gleichen Querschnitt wie Figur 4. Hier ist jedoch eine Spüle oder Kochmulde dargestellt, die an ihrem äußeren Umfang einen vertikal nach unten gezogenen Rand aufweist, der flächig am Mittelstück 2a des Rahmens anliegt. Man erhält dadurch eine besonders stabile Verbindung zwischen dem Einsatz und der Tischplatte. Außerdem ist in Figur 5 der Rahmen an der Oberseite des Schenkels 2b mit einer hochgezogenen Leiste 2d versehen, die bündig an die Kunststoffbeschichtung 3b der Tischplatte anschließt.Figure 5 shows the same cross section as Figure 4. Here, however, a sink or hob is shown, which has on its outer circumference a vertically downwardly drawn edge, which lies flat against the middle piece 2a of the frame. This gives a particularly stable connection between the insert and the table top. In addition, in Figure 5, the frame on the top of the leg 2b is provided with a raised bar 2d, which is flush with the plastic coating 3b of the table top.
