Abstract

The problem of a drainage connection for washing machines situated in bathrooms or other appliances discharging used water is solved in that a drainage connection pipe (36) is arranged in the wall (31) of a bathtub support, which pipe can be connected to the bathtub drainage fitting. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen formgeschäumten Wannenträger aus Hartschaumstoff für Bade- oder Duschwannen, bestehend aus einer umlaufenden Wandung und einem Boden, welche ineinander übergehen und eine Mulde für die Aufnahme der Wanne bilden, wobei der Boden mindestens eine Aussparung für einen Wannenablauf aufweist.The invention relates to a molded foam tub support made of rigid foam for bathtubs or shower trays, consisting of a circumferential wall and a bottom, which merge into one another and form a trough for receiving the tub, the bottom having at least one recess for a tub drain.

Derartige Wannenträger aus Polystyrolschaumstoff oder Polyurethanschaumstoff haben sich bewährt. Sie lassen sich schnell montieren, sind wärmedämmend, schallisolierend und erlauben im Bedarfsfall ein Austauschen der Wanne.Such tub supports made of polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam have proven their worth. They can be installed quickly, are heat-insulating, soundproof and allow the tub to be replaced if necessary.

In Badezimmern besteht häufig das Problem, den Ablaufschlauch einer Waschmaschine oder eines sonstigen, Brauchwasser abgebenden Gerätes anzuschließen. Ein Anschluß an den in der Regel vorhandenen Ablauf eines Waschbeckens ist oft nicht möglich, weil die Waschmaschine nur entfernt davon plaziert werden kann. In solchen Fällen blieb bisher nichts anderes übrig, als den Ablaufschlauch der Waschmaschine über den Badewannenrand oder den Rand des Waschbeckens zu hängen. Abgesehen davon, daß währenddessen die Badewanne bzw. d as Waschbecken nicht zweckbestimmt benutzt werden können, stellt diese Art des Wasserablaufs eine hohe Gefahrenquelle dar, weil sich der Ablaufschlauch lösen kann und dann eine Überschwemmung verursacht wird.In bathrooms there is often the problem of connecting the drain hose of a washing machine or other device that dispenses hot water. A connection to the drain of a wash basin, which is usually available, is often not possible because the washing machine can only be placed away from it. In such cases, the only thing left to do was to hang the washing machine drain hose over the edge of the bathtub or the edge of the sink. In addition to the fact that the bathtub or the washbasin cannot be used for the intended purpose, this type of water drain is a high hazard because the drain hose can come loose and cause a flood.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, hier Abhilfe dergestalt zu schaffen, daß die Brauchwasserabführung von Waschmaschinen oder dergleichen in einer günstigen und sicheren Weise erfolgen kann und dabei optisch möglichst wenig ins Auge fällt.It is an object of the invention to remedy this in such a way that the process water discharge from washing machines or the like can be carried out in a cheap and safe manner and as little as possible is apparent.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß in der Wandung des Wannenträgers mindestens ein Ablaufanschlußrohr angeordnet ist, dessen Zulaufende zu der Außenfläche der Wandung weist und dessen Ablaufende unterhalb des Niveaus des Bodens in die Aussparung gerichtet ist.This object is achieved in that at least one drain connection pipe is arranged in the wall of the tub support, the inlet end of which points towards the outer surface of the wall and the outlet end of which is directed into the recess below the level of the floor.

Dadurch wird erreicht, daß der Ablauf einer Waschmaschine, eines anderen Brauchwasser abgebenden Gerätes oder eines Waschbeckens an das Zulaufende eines solchen im Wannenträger angebrachten Ablaufanschlußrohres angeschlossen werden kann, sei es über einen Schlauch oder eine Rohrverbindung. Das Zulaufende des Ablaufanschlußrohres ist dabei entweder als Steck-, Schraub- oder Schlauchanschluß ausgebildet, wie dies in der Sanitärtechnik unter Verwendung entsprechender Dichtungen, wie elastischen Gummimuffen oder O-Ringen, üblich ist.It is thereby achieved that the drain of a washing machine, another device which dispenses hot water or a wash basin can be connected to the inlet end of such a drain connection pipe fitted in the tub support, be it via a hose or a pipe connection. The inlet end of the outlet connection pipe is designed either as a plug-in, screw or hose connection, as is customary in sanitary engineering using appropriate seals, such as elastic rubber sleeves or O-rings.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform ist das Ablaufanschlußrohr in einer vorgefertigten Ausnehmung angeordnet.According to a special embodiment, the drain connection pipe is arranged in a prefabricated recess.

Bei der Fertigung des Wannenträgers durch Formverschäumung läßt sich eine solche Ausnehmung durch ein entsprechendes Einlagestück bzw. einen Schieber im Formwerkzeug direkt einformen. Das Ablaufanschlußrohr läßt sich entweder gleich vom Hersteller des Wannenträgers einsetzen oder dies geschieht erst bei der Montage auf der Baustelle. Die zweite Maßnahme ist immer dann günstig, wenn am Wannenträger mehrere Ausnehmungen für ein Ablaufanschlußrohr vorgesehen sind, weil sich in diesem Falle unter Berücksichtigung der gebäudeseitigen Lage des Abwasserrohres, der erforderlichen Lage der Aussparung im Wannenträger für die Aufhahme der Ablaufarmatur sowie der erforderlichen Plazierung der Waschmaschine die günstigst gelegene Ausnehmung zum Einsetzen des Ablaufanschlußrohres verwenden läßt. Durch die Anordnung mehrerer Ausnehmungen in einem Wannenträger läßt sich die Lagerhaltung von Wannenträgern mit spezieller Positionierung einer einzigen Ausnehmung (z.B. am Kopf- oder am Fußende, an der rechten oder an der linken Seite) vermeiden. Das Ablaufanschlußrohr läßt sich durch Ankleben in der Ausnehmung fixieren.In the manufacture of the tub support by foam molding, such a recess can be formed directly in the molding tool by means of a corresponding insert piece or a slide. The drain connection pipe can either be used immediately by the manufacturer of the tub support or this only happens during assembly on the construction site. The second measure is always favorable if several recesses are provided for a drain connection pipe on the tub support, because in this case, taking into account the location of the sewage pipe on the building side, the required position of the recess in the tub support for receiving the drain fitting and the required placement of the washing machine can use the most conveniently located recess for inserting the drain connection pipe. The arrangement of several recesses in a tub support allows the storage of tub supports with special positioning of a single recess (for example at the head or foot end, at the Avoid right or left). The drain connection pipe can be fixed in the recess by gluing.

Vorzugsweise ist das Ablaufanschlußrohr in der Ausnehmung durch eine Klemmhalterung fixiert.The drain connection pipe is preferably fixed in the recess by a clamping bracket.

Diese Maßnahme bereitet keinerlei Schwierigkeiten, denn in der Ausnehmung lassen sich bei der Herstellung des Wannenträgers solche Klemmpassungen ohne Probleme einformen, weil auch Hartschaumstoff eine hierfür ausreichende Elastizität besitzt. Die Montage des Ablaufanschlußrohres ist in diesem Falle die Sache eines Augenblickes. Da das Ablaufanschlußrohr keinen besonderen Belastungen ausgesetzt ist, sondern nur dem Durchfluß des Abwassers, ist der durch die Klemmwirkung gegebene Halt ausreichend. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn die Ausnehmung so gestaltet ist, daß sich das Ablaufanschlußrohr an irgendeiner Stelle, beispielsweise mit einer Krümmung, in senkrechter Richtung abstützen kann, so daß es nicht nach unten abrutscht.This measure does not pose any difficulties, since such clamping fits can be easily molded into the recess in the manufacture of the tub support, because rigid foam also has sufficient elasticity for this. In this case, the assembly of the drain connection pipe is a matter of a moment. Since the drain connection pipe is not exposed to any special loads, but only to the flow of the waste water, the hold given by the clamping effect is sufficient. This is especially true when the recess is designed so that the drainage pipe can be supported at any point, for example with a bend, in the vertical direction so that it does not slide down.

Vorzugsweise weist hier die das Ablaufanschlußrohr enthaltende Ausnehmung eine mit der Außenfläche der Wandung fluchtende Abdeckung auf, und in gegebenenfalls weitere gleichartige Ausnehmungen sind Füllstücke eingesetzt.In this case, the recess containing the drain connection pipe preferably has a cover aligned with the outer surface of the wall, and filler pieces are inserted into any other similar recesses.

Eine solche Abdeckung bzw. die Füllstücke bestehen vorzugsweise ebenfalls aus Schaumstoff und dienen der Füllung des verbleibenden Raumes zur Stabilisierung des Wannenträgers und als Abstützung für die Fliesen, mit denen der Wannenträger in der Regel außenseitig belegt wird. Die Dicke der Abdichtung ist entweder auf die Dicke des verbleibenden Raumes abgestimmt oder die Ausnehmung ist mit einem umlaufenden Rücksprung versehen, in welchem der Rand der Abdeckung eingepaßt ist.Such a cover or the filler pieces preferably also consist of foam and serve to fill the remaining space for stabilizing the tub support and as a support for the tiles with which the tub support is usually covered on the outside. The thickness of the seal is either matched to the thickness of the remaining space or the recess is provided with a circumferential recess in which the edge of the cover is fitted.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform ist das Ablaufanschlußrohr eingeschäumt.According to a further special embodiment, the drain connection pipe is foamed.

Diese Maßnahme erfordert keine späteren Manipulationen, hat also Vorteile, aber auch Nachteile. Das Positionieren des Ablaufanschlußrohres im Formwerkzeughohlraum macht Halterungen erforderlich, wie beispielsweise am Ablaufanschlußrohr angebrachte Distanzhalter oder in das Zulaufende und Ablaufende des Anschlußablaufrohres eingreifende Schieberbolzen. Besagte Distanzhalter werden mit eingeschäumt und verbleiben im Schaumstoff des Wannenträgers.This measure does not require subsequent manipulation, so it has advantages but also disadvantages. The positioning of the drain connection pipe in the mold cavity necessitates brackets, such as, for example, spacers attached to the drain connection pipe or slide bolts engaging in the inlet and outlet ends of the connection drain pipe. Said spacers are foamed in and remain in the foam of the tub support.

Vorzugsweise weist das Ablaufanschlußrohr einen Siphon auf bzw. ist als solcher ausgebildet.Preferably, the drain connection pipe has a siphon or is designed as such.

Es eignen sich handelsübliche Unterputzsiphons, insbesondere in flacher Ausführung, aber auch Steckverbindungssiphons, insbesondere solche mit Faltenbalgabschnitten, wobei ein solcher Faltenbalgabschnitt in die Aussparung für den Wannenablauf zu liegen kommen soll, weil dann der Anschluß des Ablaufendes an den am Wannenablauf vorgesehenen Gegenanschluß erleichtert ist und insbesondere auch eventuelle Höhenunterschiede ausgleichbar sind.There are commercially available flush-mounted siphons, in particular in a flat design, but also plug-in siphons, in particular those with bellows sections, such a bellows section being intended to lie in the recess for the bath drain, because then the connection of the drain end to the counter-connection provided on the bath drain is facilitated and in particular, any differences in height can be compensated for.

Das Zulaufende des Abflußanschlußrohres sollte vorzugsweise über dem maximalen Wasserniveau in der Wanne, d.h. zumindest auf Höhe des an Wannen üblichen Überlaufes, liegen.The inlet end of the drain connection pipe should preferably be above the maximum water level in the tub, i.e. at least at the level of the usual overflow on tubs.

Ist dies nicht der Fall, so ist es vorteilhaft, gemäß einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform im Ablaufanschlußrohr eine Rückstromsperre vorzusehen.If this is not the case, then it is advantageous, according to a further special embodiment, to provide a non-return valve in the drain connection pipe.

Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, daß in der Wanne befindliches Wasser durch das neuartige Ablaufanschlußrohr in das daran angeschlossene Gerät (z.B. Waschmaschine) dringt.This prevents water in the tub from penetrating the connected device (e.g. washing machine) through the new drain connection pipe.

Besitzt das Ablaufanschlußrohr eine einfache Form, so kann es als ein Stück gefertigt sein. Kompliziertere Ausführungen lassen sich aber besser aus in der Sanitärtechnik gebräuchlichen genormten Rohrabschnitten, Krümmern, Verzweigungen, Siphons, Ventilen, Anschlüssen, insbesondere solchen mit Steckverbindungen, zusammensetzen. Hierzu bedarf es keiner besonderen schöpferischen Tätigkeit.If the drain connection pipe has a simple shape, it can be manufactured as one piece. However, more complicated designs can be better identified from standard pipe sections, elbows, branches, siphons, valves, connections, especially those with plug connections, which are common in sanitary engineering, put together. No special creative activity is required for this.

In Fig. 1 und 2 besteht der formgeschäumte Badewannenträger aus einer umlaufenden Wandung 1, welche in einen Boden 2 übergeht. Die somit gebildete Mulde 3 dient der Aufnahme einer Badewanne. Dort, wo sich das Fußende der Badewanne befinden soll, ist eine Aussparung 4 für die Aufnahme einer Ablaufarmatur vorgesehen. Am fußseitigen Ende des Wannenträgers ist im Wandungsabschnitt 5 ein Ablaufanschlußrohr 6 angeordnet. Es ist mit dem Ablaufanschluß 7 eines Wannenüberlaufes verbunden und besitzt am oberen Ende Querrohre 8 und 9, von denen das Querrohr 8 ein Zulaufende 10 im Wandungsabschnitt 5 und ein Zulaufende 11 im Wandungsabschnitt 12 aufweist und das Querrohr 9 ein Zulaufende 13 im Wandungsabschnitt 5 und ein Zulaufende 14 im Wandungsabschnitt 15 besitzt. Die nicht benötigten Zulaufenden lassen sich durch abdichtende Stopfen verschließen. Das untere Ende des Ablaufanschlußrohres 7 ragt in die Aussparung 4 hinein und ist als Siphon 16 mit Faltenbalgabschnitten 17 ausgebildet. Es versteht sich, daß die Wannenablaufarmatur einen Anschluß für das Ablaufanschlußrohr 6 bzw. den Siphon 16 aufweisen muß. Das Ablaufanschlußrohr 6 ist mit Distanzhaltern 18 versehen, welche lediglich die Aufgabe haben, beim Schäumen das einzuschäumende Ablaufanschlußrohr 6 im Formwerkzeughohlraum in Position zu halten. Auch im kopfseitigen Wandungsabschnitt 19 des Badewannenträgers ist ein Ablaufanschlußrohr 20 vorgesehen. Dieses weist zwei Zulaufenden 21 und 22 und eine Abzweigung 23 mit zwei Zulaufenden 24 und 25 auf. Das Zulaufende 21 ist im Wandungsabschnitt 12, die Zulaufenden 21 und 24 sind im Wandungsabschnitt 19 und das Zulaufende 25 ist im Wandungsabschnitt 15 vorgesehen. Nicht benötigte Zulaufenden sind mit Stopfen verschließbar. Das Ablaufanschlußrohr 20 ist unterhalb des Bodens 2 geführt. Da die Zulaufenden 21, 22, 24, 25 ebenfalls unterhalb des Niveaus des Bodens 2 liegen, ist im Ablaufanschlußrohr 20 eine Rückstromsperre 26 angeordnet, damit beim Ablaufen des Badewassers dieses nicht durch das Ablaufanschlußrohr 20 in die angeschlossene Waschmaschine dringt. Das Ablaufende ist ebenfalls als Siphon 27 mit Faltenbalgabschnitten 28 ausgebildet. Es kann aber auch ohne Siphon 27 an die Wannenablaufarmatur direkt oder an den Siphon 16 anschließbar sein. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es zweckmäßig, daß der Siphon 16 bzw. 27 erst bei der Montage des Badewannenträgers angebracht wird, da in der Regel nur Bedarf für einen besteht und deshalb nur einer mitgeliefert zu werden braucht, der dann an das entsprechende Ablaufanschlußrohr 6 oder 20 angeschlossen wird.1 and 2, the molded foam bath support consists of a peripheral wall 1, which merges into a floor 2. The trough 3 thus formed serves to accommodate a bathtub. Where the foot of the bathtub is to be located, a recess 4 is provided for receiving a drain fitting. At the foot end of the tub support is in the wall section 5 an outlet connecting pipe 6 is arranged. It is connected to the drain connection 7 of a tub overflow and has at the upper end cross tubes 8 and 9, of which the cross tube 8 has an inlet end 10 in the wall section 5 and an inlet end 11 in the wall section 12 and the cross tube 9 an inlet end 13 in the wall section 5 and a Has inlet end 14 in the wall section 15. The inlet ends that are not required can be sealed with sealing plugs. The lower end of the drain connection pipe 7 projects into the recess 4 and is designed as a siphon 16 with bellows sections 17. It goes without saying that the tub drain fitting must have a connection for the drain connection pipe 6 or the siphon 16. The drain connection pipe 6 is provided with spacers 18, which only have the task of holding the drain connection pipe 6 to be foamed in position in the mold cavity during foaming. An outlet connection pipe 20 is also provided in the wall section 19 of the bathtub support at the head. This has two inlet ends 21 and 22 and a branch 23 with two inlet ends 24 and 25. The inlet end 21 is in the wall section 12, the inlet ends 21 and 24 are in the wall section 19 and the inlet end 25 is provided in the wall section 15. Inlet ends that are not required can be closed with plugs. The drain connection pipe 20 is guided below the bottom 2. Since the inlet ends 21, 22, 24, 25 are also below the level of the bottom 2, a non-return valve 26 is arranged in the outlet connection pipe 20 so that when the bathing water runs out, it does not penetrate through the outlet connection pipe 20 into the connected washing machine. The drain end is also designed as a siphon 27 with bellows sections 28. However, it can also be connectable directly to the tub drain fitting or to the siphon 16 without a siphon 27. In this embodiment, it is expedient that the siphon 16 or 27 is only attached when the bathtub support is being installed, since there is generally only one need and therefore only one needs to be supplied, which is then connected to the corresponding drain connection pipe 6 or 20 is connected.

In Fig. 3 handelt es sich um einen Duschwannenträger mit umlaufender Wandung 31, welche in einen Boden 32 übergeht, wodurch eine Mulde 33 zur Aufnahme einer Duschwanne gebildet ist. Im Boden 32 ist eine Aussparung 34 für die Ablaufarmatur vorgesehen. Im Wandungsabschnitt 35 ist als Ablaufanschlußrohr 36 ein handelsüblicher, flacher Unterputzsiphon eingeschäumt, dessen Zulaufende 37 im Wandungsabschnitt 35 nach außen öffnet. In das Zulaufende 37 ist ein Schlauchanschluß 38 eingesetzt. Das Ablaufende 39 ragt in die Aussparung 34 hinein und bedarf noch eines Verbindungsstückes zum Anschließen an die mit einem entsprechenden Anschluß ausgestattete Wannenablaufarmatur.In Fig. 3 it is a shower tray support with peripheral wall 31 which merges into a floor 32, whereby a trough 33 is formed for receiving a shower tray. In the bottom 32 there is a recess 34 for the drain fitting intended. In the wall section 35, a commercially available, flat concealed siphon is foamed in as the outlet connecting pipe 36, the inlet end 37 of which opens in the wall section 35 to the outside. A hose connector 38 is inserted into the inlet end 37. The drain end 39 protrudes into the recess 34 and still requires a connecting piece for connection to the tub drain fitting equipped with a corresponding connection.

In Fig. 4, 5 und 6 besitzt der Duschwannenträger ebenfalls eine umlaufende Wandung 41, welche in einen Boden 42 übergeht, so daß eine Mulde 43 zur Aufnahme der Duschwanne gebildet ist. Im Boden 42 ist eine Aussparung 44 für die Aufnahme einer Wannenablaufarmatur vorgesehen. Unterhalb des Bodens 42 ist ein Rohrkreuz 45 eingeschäumt, dessen Enden in in den Wandungsabschnitten 46, 47, 48 und 49 vorgesehene Ausnehmungen 50, 51, 52 und 53 hineinreichen. Vom Rohrkreuz 45 führt außerdem ein Anschlußarm 58 in die Aussparung 44, um dieses System an die Wannenablaufarmatur anschließen zu können. Die Ausnehmungen 50, 51, 52 und 53 sind für die Aufnahme eines handelsüblichen flachen Unterputzsiphons 54 als weiterer Teil des Ablaufsystems konzipiert, und zwar derart, daß durch Hinterschnitte 55 eine Klemmwirkung entsteht. Der Siphon 54 weist ein Zulaufende 56 und ein Ablaufende 57 auf. Durch die Anordnung einer Ausnehmung 50, 51, 52 bzw. 53 in jedem der Wandungsabschnitte 46, 47, 48 und 49 hat der Installateur in Bezug auf die gebäudeseitige Lage der Abwasserrohre und der vorgesehenen Position der Waschmaschine immer die Möglichkeit, den Siphon 54 in dem am günstigsten gelegenen der Wandungsabschnitte 46, 47, 48 oder 49 zu plazieren. Das Ablaufende 57 des Ablaufanschlußrohres bzw. Siphons 54 ist so gestaltet, daß es in jedes der gleichartigen Enden des Rohrkreuzes 45 abdichtend hineinpaßt. Die nicht benötigten Enden des Rohrkreuzes 45 lassen sich durch Stopfen verschließen. Auch hier gilt, daß das Zusammensetzen des Rohrsystems aus geeigneten Normstücken eine rein fachmännische Maßnahme ist.4, 5 and 6, the shower tray support also has a circumferential wall 41 which merges into a floor 42, so that a trough 43 is formed for receiving the shower tray. A recess 44 is provided in the bottom 42 for receiving a bath drain fitting. A tube cross 45 is foamed beneath the base 42, the ends of which extend into recesses 50, 51, 52 and 53 provided in the wall sections 46, 47, 48 and 49. A connecting arm 58 also leads from the tube cross 45 into the recess 44 in order to be able to connect this system to the bath drain fitting. The recesses 50, 51, 52 and 53 are designed for receiving a commercially available flush-mounted siphon 54 as a further part of the drain system, in such a way that undercuts 55 create a clamping effect. The siphon 54 has an inlet end 56 and an outlet end 57. By arranging a recess 50, 51, 52 and 53 in each of the wall sections 46, 47, 48 and 49, the installer always has the option with regard to the position of the sewage pipes on the building side and the intended position of the washing machine, the siphon 54 in the to place the most conveniently located wall sections 46, 47, 48 or 49. The drain end 57 of the drain connection pipe or siphon 54 is designed such that it fits sealingly into each of the similar ends of the tube cross 45. The ends of the tube cross 45 that are not required can be closed by plugs. It also applies here that the assembly of the pipe system from suitable standard pieces is a purely professional measure.
