Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur zentrischen Positionierung von Badewannen oder Duschwannen in einem Wannenträger aus Hartschaumstoff.The invention relates to a device for the central positioning of bathtubs or shower trays in a tub support made of rigid foam.

Bei Bade- und Duschwannen gleicher Randabmessung sind die sonstigen Abmessungen je nach Hersteller unterschiedlich. Da für Bade- und Duschwannen gleicher Randabmessung in aller Regel nur ein Badewannen- und Duschwannenträger zur Verfügung steht, kann aufgrund der Unterschiedlichkeit der sonstigen Abmessungen in Längs-und/oder in Querrichtung ein Spiel zwischen Wanne und Wannenträger auftreten. Dadurch kann es zu unerwünschten Verschiebungen der Wanne im ortsfesten Wannenträger kommen, d.h. eine zentrische Position der Wanne im Wannenträger ist nicht gewährleistet.For bathtubs and shower trays of the same edge dimensions, the other dimensions are depending on the manufacturer. As for bathtubs and shower trays with the same edge dimensions usually only one bathtub and shower tray support available stands, due to the difference in the other dimensions in longitudinal and / or in the transverse direction play between the tub and tub support. Thereby there may be undesirable displacements of the tub in the fixed tub support come, i.e. a central position of the tub in the tub support is not guaranteed.

Aus der DE-U-86 25 437 ist ein Universal-Wannenträger für verschiedenartige Badewannen bekannt. Es ist jedoch ebenfalls erforderlich, dass die Badewannen zumindest gleiche vorbestimmte Randabmessungen aufweisen. Der Universal-Wannenträger zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er zu mehreren vorbestimmten handelsüblichen Badewannen kompatibel ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die zur Aufnahme der Badewanne vorgesehne Ausnehmung eine solche Kontur hat, die eine Superposition der Konturen der handelsüblichen Badewannen ist. Eine zentrische Position der Wanne im Wannenträger ist damit jedoch nicht gewährleistet.DE-U-86 25 437 is a universal bathtub support for various types of bathtubs known. However, it is also necessary that the bathtubs at least have the same predetermined edge dimensions. The universal tub support is characterized by the fact that it has several predetermined commercial bathtubs is compatible. This is achieved by using the bathtub provided recess has such a contour that a superposition of the Contours of the commercially available bathtubs. A central position of the tub in the However, tub support is not guaranteed.

In der GB-A-22 56 795 ist ein Adapter beschrieben, der als Profilleiste ausgebildet und zwischen der Oberkante des Wannenträgers und dem Rand der Badewanne vorgesehen ist. Der Adapter hat einen Y-förmigen Querschnitt und ist ausschließlich für solche Badewannen vorgesehen, deren Rand an der Unterseite im Wesentlichen komplementär zum Adapter ausgebildet ist. Für Bade- und Duschwannen gleicher Randabmessung ist damit eine zentrische Position der Wanne im Wannenträger nicht immer gewährleistet. In GB-A-22 56 795 an adapter is described which is designed as a profile strip and provided between the top edge of the tub support and the edge of the bathtub is. The adapter has a Y-shaped cross section and is only for such bathtubs provided, the edge of which is essentially complementary on the underside is designed to be an adapter. For bathtubs and shower trays with the same edge dimensions so that a central position of the tub in the tub support is not always guaranteed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur zentrischen Positionierung bereitzustellen, die bei einfacher Handhabung eine zentrische Position der Wanne gewährleistet.The invention has for its object a device for central positioning Provide a central position of the tub with easy handling guaranteed.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass ein Winkelstück, dessen Schenkel in horizontaler Richtung eine Stärke haben, die auf den Abstand zwischen dem Innenrand einer Wannenrandumbiegung und der Außenwand des Wannenträgers ausgelegt ist, am Innenscheitel mit einem Profilvorsprung versehen sind, der in eine im Eckbereich des Wannenträgers vorgesehene Nut einschiebbar ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that an angle piece whose leg is in horizontal direction have a thickness based on the distance between the inner edge a tub edge bend and the outer wall of the tub support is designed on Inside parting are provided with a profile projection, which in a in the corner area of the Trough support provided groove can be inserted.

Durch den im Innenscheitel des Winkelstücks vorgesehenen Profilvorsprung, der in eine entsprechende, im Wannenträger-Eckbereich vorgesehene Nut einschiebbar ist, lässt sich bei einfachster Handhabung eine exakte Positionierung des Winkelstücks erreichen. Bei rundum vorhandenem Abstand werden an allen vier, sonst an zwei gegenüberliegenden Außenflächen des Wannenträgers die Winkelstücke angebracht, die den Abstand ausfüllen und so Verschiebungen der Wanne im ortsfesten Wannenträger unmöglich machen. Da das Winkelstück im Eckbereich des Wannenträgers vorgesehen ist, werden Verschwenkungen der Wanne um eine vertikale Achse vermieden, wie sie bei einer Anbringung von Profilstücken im mittleren Bereich der Wannenträgerseiten möglich wären.The profile projection provided in the inside vertex of the contra-angle handpiece a corresponding groove provided in the corner area of the tub support can be inserted, exact positioning of the contra-angle handpiece can be achieved with simple handling. If there is an all-round distance, all four, otherwise two opposite ones Attached to the outer surfaces of the tub support, the elbows that the Fill in the distance, making it impossible to move the tub in the fixed tub support do. Since the angle piece is provided in the corner area of the tub support, pivots of the tub around a vertical axis are avoided, as in an attachment of profile pieces in the central area of the tub support sides possible would.

Weiterhin haben Winkelstücke gegenüber Profilleisten den Vorteil, dass die Anzahl der Bauteile verringert und die Lagerhaltung vereinfacht wird. Außerdem ist der Zeitaufwand für die Anbringung der Winkelstücke wesentlich geringer.Furthermore, elbows have the advantage over profile strips that the number of Components are reduced and warehousing is simplified. In addition, the time spent much less for attaching the contra-angles.

Um eine Anpassung des Profilstücks an den Radius der Umbiegung des Wannenrands zu schaffen, ist gemäß einem weiteren vorteilhaften Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die nach oben gerichtete Fläche der Profilstücke eine nach außen abfallende Rundung aufweist. Diese Ausgestaltung hat außerdem den Vorteil, dass beim Einsetzen der Wanne in den Wannenträger der Wannenrand ohne Schwierigkeiten über das Profilstück gleitet.To adapt the profile piece to the radius of the curve of the tub edge to provide, is provided according to a further advantageous feature of the invention, that the upward-facing surface of the profile pieces has an outward sloping curve having. This configuration also has the advantage that when the Tub in the tub support the tub edge without difficulty over the profile piece slides.

Gemäß einem wesentlichen Merkmal der Erfindung sind die Profilstücke mit Ausnehmungen versehen, die bei Belastung eine Querschnittsverminderung zulassen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, für alle Anwendungsfälle mit einem Profilstück auszukommen, dessen Dicke auf den größten, derzeit bekannten Abstand zwischen Außenfläche Wannenträger und Innenfläche Umbiegung ausgelegt ist. Ist dieser Abstand kleiner als die Dicke des Profilstücks, schaffen die Ausnehmungen eine Art "Knautschzone", die eine Dickenverminderung des Profilstücks zulässt.According to an essential feature of the invention, the profile pieces with recesses provided that allow a reduction in cross-section under load. To this Way it is possible to get by with one profile piece for all applications, its thickness on the largest, currently known distance between the outer surface of the tub support and inner surface bending is designed. If this distance is smaller than that Thickness of the profile piece, the recesses create a kind of "crumple zone", the one Thickness of the profile piece allows.

Als besonders günstige Ausgestaltung der "Knautschzone" hat sich eine Ausnehmung empfohlen, die als keilförmige Nut ausgebildet ist, die von der nach unten gerichteten Fläche der Profilstücke ausgeht, sich nach oben verjüngt und sich über die gesamte Länge der Profilstücke erstreckt. Damit lässt sich eine über die Länge der Profilstücke gleichmäßige Dickenverminderung erzielen.A recess has been found to be a particularly favorable embodiment of the "crumple zone" recommended, which is designed as a wedge-shaped groove, that of the downward-facing Surface of the profile pieces starts, tapers upwards and extends over the entire Length of the profile pieces extends. This allows you to choose the length of the profile pieces achieve a uniform reduction in thickness.

Um beim Einsetzen der Wanne in den Wannenträger ein Abreißen oder Abrutschen der Profilstücke zu verhindern, ist gemäß einem weiteren vorteilhaften Merkmal der Erfindung die nach unten gerichtete Fläche der Profilstücke gegen einen Absatz des Wannenträgers abgestützt.In order to tear off or slide off when inserting the tub into the tub support Preventing profile pieces is according to a further advantageous feature of the invention the downward surface of the profile pieces against a shoulder of the tub support supported.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die nach unten gerichtete Fläche der Profilstücke in zwei zueinander höhenversetzten Horizontalebenen angeordnet. Die untere Ebene dient der Abstützung des Profilstücks auf dem Absatz des Wannenträgers, während die obere Ebene die nach außen weisende Fläche des Profilstücks verkürzt. Eine solche Verkürzung kann bei Acrylwannen vorteilhaft sein, bei denen der nach unten gerichtete Bereich des Wannenrands wesentlich kürzer als bei Stahlwannen ist. Würde die nach außen weisende Fläche des Profilstücks bei Acrylwannen normale Länge aufweisen, würde ihr unterer Bereich nach dem Verfliesen sichtbar bleiben, was zumindest auf der Sichtseite der Wanne unerwünscht wäre.The downward-facing surface of the profile pieces is expediently in two relative to one another vertically offset horizontal planes. The lower level is used for support of the profile piece on the heel of the tub support, while the upper level the outward-facing surface of the profile piece is shortened. Such a shortening can be advantageous for acrylic tubs, where the downward area of the tub rim is much shorter than with steel tubs. Would the outward Surface of the profile piece with acrylic tubs have normal length, you would lower Area remains visible after tiling, which is at least on the visible side of the Tub would be undesirable.

Für Stahlwannen kann es ausreichen, wenn dem Wannenträger lose zugeordnete Winkelstücke verwendet werden, die mindestens auf ihrer nach oben und unten gerichteten Fläche mit noppenartigen Vorsprüngen versehen sind und auf ihrer Innenfläche eine von innen unten nach außen oben verlaufende Abschrägung aufweisen.For steel tubs, it can be sufficient if the tub support has loosely assigned elbows used, at least on their up and down facing Surface are provided with nub-like projections and a on its inner surface bevel from the bottom to the top.

Mit 5 ist eine von der nach unten gerichteten Fläche 1c des Winkelstücks 1 ausgehende keilförmige Nut bezeichnet, die sich nach oben verjüngt.Fig. 1 shows an elbow 1 with legs 1a and 1b, the outer apex 2 one Has radius. A trapezoidal profile projection 4 is provided in the inner apex 3. With 5 is a starting from the downward surface 1c of the elbow 1 called wedge-shaped groove that tapers upwards.

Der Profilvorsprung 4 wird in eine entsprechende, im Wannenträger-Eckbereich vorgesehene Nut eingeschoben. Dabei kommen die Innenflächen der Schenkel 1a und 1b gegen die Außenfläche des Wannenträgers zur Anlage.The profile projection 4 is provided in a corresponding area in the corner of the tub support Groove inserted. The inner surfaces of the legs 1a and 1b come here against the outer surface of the tub support to the system.

Das Winkelstück 1 der Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von dem der Fig. 1 allein dadurch, dass die Außenwand der keilförmigen Nut 5 teilweise, und zwar in ihrem unteren Bereich, entfernt worden ist Dadurch gliedert sich die nach unten gerichtete Fläche 1c der Schenkel 1a und 1b in zwei Stufen: die untere Stufe 1c' und die obere Stufe 1c".The angle piece 1 of FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 solely in that the outer wall of the wedge-shaped groove 5 partially, in its lower region, Has been removed This divides the downward surface 1c Legs 1a and 1b in two stages: the lower stage 1c 'and the upper stage 1c ".

Das Winkelstück 1 der Fig. 3 besitzt keinen Profilvorsprung 4 und ist nicht durch den Patentanspruch 1 gedeckt. Allerdings ist es auf seinen nach oben, unten und außen weisenden Flächen mit noppenartigen Vorsprüngen 6 versehen, die pyramidenstumpfartig ausgebildet sind. Die Innenflächen der Schenkel 1a und 1b weisen eine von innen unten nach außen oben verlaufende Abschrägung 4 auf. Eine ähnliche, jedoch wesentlich schmalere Abschrägung 8 nimmt auf der Außenseite der Schenkel 1a und 1b die Kante zwischen deren nach außen und deren nach oben gerichteter Fläche weg.The angle piece 1 of FIG. 3 has no profile projection 4 and is not due to the Claim 1 covered. However, it is facing up, down and out Provide surfaces with knob-like projections 6, the truncated pyramid are trained. The inner surfaces of the legs 1a and 1b have one from the inside below bevel 4 running outwards at the top. A similar, but essential narrower bevel 8 takes the edge on the outside of the legs 1a and 1b between their outward and their upward facing away.

Die Winkelstücke 1 der Fig. 3 werden von unten her lose in die Ecken des Rands der mit ihrer Öffnung auf dem Boden liegenden Wanne eingelegt. Bei Stahlwannen sitzt am Rand der Umbiegung üblicherweise ein rechtwinklig nach innen, also zur Wannenwand hinweisender Steg an. Zwischen diesem Steg und der Unterseite des Wannenrands werden die Winkelstücke 1 festgeklemmt, wobei die noppenartigen Vorsprünge 6 auf deren nach unten und deren nach oben gerichteter Fläche eine Verspreizung der Winkelstücke 1 bewirken, so dass diese beim Drehen der Wanne um 180° und Einsetzen derselben in den Wannenträger unverrückbar gehalten sind und nicht herausfallen. Die Abschrägung 8 ermöglicht eine Anpassung an Radien der Umbiegung des Wannenrands, während die Abschrägung 7 eine Führung bzw. Gleitfläche für den oberen Rand des Wannenträgers beim Einsetzen der Wanne bildet.3 are loosely from below in the corners of the edge of the inserted with its opening lying on the floor tub. With steel tubs sits on The edge of the bend is usually at right angles to the inside, i.e. to the tub wall indicating web. Be between this web and the bottom of the tub rim the elbows 1 clamped, the knob-like projections 6 on their downwards and their surface facing upwards, a spreading of the elbows 1 so that when the tub is turned through 180 ° and inserted in the tub support is held immovable and does not fall out. The bevel 8 allows adaptation to radii of the bend of the tub edge while the Bevel 7 a guide or sliding surface for the upper edge of the tub support forms when inserting the tub.
