Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Unterputz-Armatur mit Anschlußstutzen für Wasserleitungsrohre, bei welcher der innerhalb der Gebäudewand angeordnete Gehäuseteil von einer ihn umgebenden Hülle umschlossen ist.The invention relates to a concealed fitting with connecting piece for water pipes, in which the housing part arranged inside the building wall is enclosed by a casing surrounding it.

Aus der deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 37 23 828 A1 ist bereits eine derartige Unterputz-Armatur bekanntgeworden. Bei dieser Einrichtung ist ein topfartiges Schaumstoffteil als Hülle vorgesehen, in dessen Hohlraum der in der Gebäudewand anzuordnende Gehäuseteil aufgenommen ist. Dieses Schaumstoffteil dient als Schallisolierung zum Mauerwerk.
Bei Unterputz-Armaturen für Wasserleitungen kann es außerdem nicht ausgeschlossen werden, daß es im Armaturenbereich zu Leckagen oder bei Wartungs- und Instandsetzungsarbeiten zu Wasseraustritten kommt, was zu Zerstörungen in der Gebäudewand führen kann. Insbesondere bei Wänden in Leichtbauweise kann derartiges Leckwasser zur Zerstörung der Gipskartonplatten etc. führen.Such a concealed fitting has already become known from German patent application DE 37 23 828 A1. In this device, a pot-like foam part is provided as a shell, in the cavity of which the housing part to be arranged in the building wall is received. This foam part serves as sound insulation to the masonry.
In the case of concealed fittings for water pipes, it cannot be ruled out that there may be leaks in the area of the fittings or that water may escape during maintenance and repair work, which can lead to destruction of the building wall. In particular with walls of lightweight construction, such leakage water can lead to the destruction of the plasterboard, etc.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Unterputz-Armatur nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 die Hülle zu verbessern und so auszugestalten, daß sie einfach an die Einbautiefe in der Gebäudewand anpaßbar ist und den Aufnahmeraum in der Gebäudewand wasserdicht auskleidet.The invention has for its object in a Flush-mounted fitting according to the preamble of claim 1 to improve the shell and to design it so that it is easily adaptable to the installation depth in the building wall and lines the receiving space in the building wall in a watertight manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Hülle aus einem wasserdichten Elastomer gebildet ist, wobei zur Anpassung an die individuelle Einbautiefe in der Gebäudewand der vorstehende Endbereich der Hülle als Faltenbalg ausgebildet ist.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 11 angegeben.This object is achieved in that the shell is formed from a waterproof elastomer, the protruding end region of the shell being designed as a bellows to adapt to the individual installation depth in the building wall.
Further refinements of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 11.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß eine sichere Abdichtung in der Gebäudewand beim Einbau der Unterputz-Armaturen erzielt werden kann. Die Hülle aus Elastomermaterial kann hierbei auf das Gehäuse der Unterputz-Armatur aufgeknöpft werden. Die erforderlichen Durchbrüche in der Hülle für die Rohrleitungen können hierbei so dimensioniert werden, daß sie die vorstehenden Anschlußstutzen am Gehäuse mit Vorspannung wasserdicht umschließen. Zur Anpassung an die individuelle Einbautiefe ist an dem vorstehenden Bereich der Hülle ein Faltenbalg angeformt.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann an der äußeren Stirnseite des Faltenbalgs ein Flansch vorgesehen sein, der an der Wandoberfläche verklebt werden kann, so daß eventuell in die Hülle aus der Unterputz-Armatur austretendes Wasser sicher nach außen aus dem Hohlraum der Gebäudewand zur Wandoberfläche herausgeführt wird. Hierbei kann der äußere Randbereich des Flansches mit einer umlaufenden Perforation versehen werden, so daß zur Verbindung z.B. Fliesenkleber eingesetzt werden kann, der dann durch die Löcher der Perforation vorteilhaft eine Verbindung zwischen Ober- und Unterseite des Flansches ermöglicht.
Zweckmäßig können in der erfindungsgemäßen Hülle Bedarfdurchbruchstellen vorgesehen werden, die bei Bedarf während der Montage geöffnet werden können.The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that a secure seal in the building wall can be achieved when the flush-mounted fittings are installed. The sleeve made of elastomer material can be buttoned onto the housing of the concealed fitting. The necessary breakthroughs in the casing for the pipelines can be dimensioned so that they enclose the protruding connection pieces on the housing in a watertight manner with a prestress. In order to adapt to the individual installation depth, a bellows is formed on the protruding area of the casing.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a flange can be provided on the outer end face of the bellows, which flange can be glued to the wall surface, so that any water escaping from the concealed fitting is safely led out from the cavity of the building wall to the wall surface . Here, the outer edge region of the flange can be provided with a circumferential perforation so that, for example, tile adhesive can be used for the connection, which is then advantageous through the holes in the perforation enables a connection between the top and bottom of the flange.
Expedient breakthrough points can be expediently provided in the casing according to the invention, which can be opened if necessary during assembly.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigt

Figur 1
eine Unterputz-Armatur in Form eines thermostatgeregelten Wassermischventils im Längsschnitt, wobei die linke Hälfte der Figur eine tiefe Anordnung, die rechte Hälfte eine flache Anordnung der Unterputz-Armatur in der Gebäudewand zeigt;
Figur 2

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. It shows
Figure 1
a concealed fitting in the form of a thermostatically controlled water mixing valve in longitudinal section, the left half of the figure showing a deep arrangement, the right half a flat arrangement of the concealed fitting in the building wall;
Figure 2
the sheath shown in Figure 1 made of elastomer material in side section;
Figure 3
the elastomer sheath shown in Figure 2 in plan view.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigte Hülle 1 ist aus einem wasserdichten Elastomermaterial einstückig hergestellt worden. Als günstiger Werkstoff kann hierbei Chlorkautschuk mit einer Härte von etwa 50 Shore eingesetzt werden. Aber auch andere geeignete Werkstoffe, wie z.B. Moosgummi, können verwendet werden. Die Hülle 1 wird dabei von einem kastenförmigen Unterteil mit einer Wandstärke 13 von etwa 3 mm gebildet, an dessen offener Seite ein Faltenbalg 11 angeformt ist, der wiederum an seinem vorstehenden Bereich einen umlaufenden Flansch 12 trägt. Am äußeren Randbereich des Flansches 12 ist eine umlaufende Perforation 122 vorgesehen. Die Wandstärke des Faltenbalgs 11 und des Flansches 12 beträgt etwa 1 mm. An der unteren Seite des Flansches 12 ist außerdem eine Beschichtung mit Klebstoff 121 vorgesehen. Im unteren Bereich der Hülle 1 sind Durchbrüche 10 für die Anschlußstutzen 22 einer Unterputz-Armatur 2 vorgesehen. Die Durchbrüche 10 sind dabei so dimensioniert, daß sie bei dem Einführen der Anschlußstutzen 22 eine elastische Aufweitung erfahren und somit eine dichte Anpressung an der Außenwandung der Anschlußstutzen 22 bewirken. Zu diesem Zweck ist im Bereich der Durchbrüche 10 eine Verstärkung 14 vorgesehen, die etwa die Wandstärke in diesem Bereich verdoppelt.The casing 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has been produced in one piece from a waterproof elastomer material. Chlorine rubber with a hardness of about 50 Shore can be used as a cheap material. However, other suitable materials, such as foam rubber, can also be used. The envelope 1 is formed by a box-shaped lower part with a wall thickness 13 of approximately 3 mm, on the open side of which a bellows 11 is formed, which in turn has a circumferential area in its protruding area Flange 12 carries. A circumferential perforation 122 is provided on the outer edge region of the flange 12. The wall thickness of the bellows 11 and the flange 12 is approximately 1 mm. A coating with adhesive 121 is also provided on the lower side of the flange 12. In the lower area of the casing 1, openings 10 are provided for the connecting piece 22 of a concealed fitting 2. The openings 10 are dimensioned such that they experience an elastic widening when the connection piece 22 is inserted and thus bring about a tight pressure on the outer wall of the connection piece 22. For this purpose, a reinforcement 14 is provided in the area of the openings 10, which approximately doubles the wall thickness in this area.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Hülle 1 kann auf ein Gehäuse 21 der in Figur 1 gezeigten Unterputz-Armatur 2 aufgeknöpft werden. Das Gehäuse 21 wird hierbei im wesentlichen von dem verstärkten, kastenartigen unteren Bereich aufgenommen, wobei die Anschlußstutzen 22 von den Verstärkungen 14 dicht umschlossen werden.
Die in der Hülle 1 eingeknöpfte Armatur 2 kann sodann, wie es in Figur 1 gezeigt ist, in der Trag- oder Unterkonstruktion einer Leichtbauwand mit den Wasserleitungsrohren verbunden werden. Hiernach können die für die Wandverkleidung vorgesehenen Gipskartonplatten an der Tragkonstruktion der Leichtbauwand befestigt werden. Im Bereich der Armatur 2 ist hierbei eine entsprechend dimensionierte Öffnung 320 in der Gipskartonplatte 32 vorzusehen. Beim Befestigen der Gipskartonplatte 32 kann hierbei der aus Elastomermaterial bestehende Flansch 12 durch die Öffnung hindurchgezogen und danach flach ausgebreitet werden, wobei dann mit Hilfe des Klebstoffs 121 - beispielsweise nach dem Entfernen einer Schutzfolie oder bei nicht klebstoffbeschichtetem Flansch 12 nach dem Aufbringen von Fliesenkleber etc. - eine dichte Verklebung an der Außenfläche der Gipskartonplatte 32 vorgenommen werden kann. Eine unterschiedliche Einbautiefe der Armatur kann mit Hilfe des Faltenbalgs 11 kompensiert werden. In Figur 1 in der linken Hälfte ist eine tiefe Anordnung der Armatur in der Gebäudewand 3 dargestellt, während in der rechten Hälfte eine flache Anordnung dargestellt ist. Die Leichtbauwand ist hiernach von der Hülle 1 wasserdicht im Bereich der Unterputz-Armatur 2 ausgekleidet. Aus der Unterputz-Armatur 2 austretendes Wasser, z.B. durch eventuell undichte Funktionselemente, wird sicher über die Hülle 1 mit dem Faltenbalg 11 und dem Flansch 12 aus der in Leicht- oder Trockenbauweise hergestellten Gebäudewand 3 herausgeleitet.
Hiernach können auf der Außenseite der Gipskartonplatte 32 die Wandfliesen 31 befestigt werden, wobei dann der an der Oberfläche der Gipskartonplatte 32 angeklebte Flansch 12 von den Fliesen verdeckt wird. Zum Abschluß der von der Hülle 1 umkleideten Öffnung kann auf der Unterputz-Armatur 2 eine Abdeckrosette 4 aufgebracht werden, die dann mit ihrem Außenrand 41 an der Außenseite der Wandfliesen 31 anliegt und die von der Hülle 1 ausgekleidete Wandöffnung verschließt.The casing 1 described above can be buttoned onto a housing 21 of the concealed fitting 2 shown in FIG. The housing 21 is essentially received by the reinforced, box-like lower region, the connecting pieces 22 being tightly enclosed by the reinforcements 14.
The fitting 2 buttoned in the casing 1 can then, as shown in FIG. 1, be connected to the water pipe in the supporting or substructure of a lightweight wall. After this, the plasterboard panels provided for the wall cladding can be attached to the supporting structure of the lightweight wall. A correspondingly dimensioned opening 320 in the plasterboard 32 is to be provided in the area of the fitting 2. When fastening the plasterboard 32, the flange 12 made of elastomer material can be pulled through the opening and then spread out flat, with the aid of the adhesive 121 - for example after removing a protective film or when the film is not coated with adhesive Flange 12 after the application of tile adhesive, etc. - a tight bond to the outer surface of the plasterboard 32 can be made. A different installation depth of the fitting can be compensated for with the aid of the bellows 11. In Figure 1 in the left half a deep arrangement of the valve in the building wall 3 is shown, while in the right half a flat arrangement is shown. The lightweight wall is then lined in a waterproof manner by the casing 1 in the area of the concealed fitting 2. Water escaping from the concealed fitting 2, for example due to possibly leaky functional elements, is safely led out of the building wall 3, which is made of light or dry construction, via the casing 1 with the bellows 11 and the flange 12.
Thereafter, the wall tiles 31 can be fastened to the outside of the gypsum board 32, the flange 12 adhered to the surface of the gypsum board 32 then being covered by the tiles. At the end of the opening covered by the casing 1, a cover rosette 4 can be applied to the concealed fitting 2, which then lies with its outer edge 41 on the outside of the wall tiles 31 and closes the wall opening lined by the casing 1.

In der Hülle 1 sind außerdem Bedarfdurchbruchstellen 101 vorgesehen, die z.B. für die Befestigungsbolzen der Unterputz-Armatur bei einer Vorwand-Installation etc. oder für wahlweise vorgesehene Anschlußstutzen mit Hilfe eines Stempels bzw. Lochwerkzeugs oder durch einfaches Herausreißen der Verschlußscheibe an den dafür vorgesehenen Stellen geöffnet werden können.In the case 1 there are also required breakthrough points 101 which e.g. for the fastening bolts of the concealed fitting in a pre-wall installation etc. or for optionally provided connecting pieces with the help of a stamp or punching tool or by simply tearing out the locking disc at the designated places.

Bei dem vorstehenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Anordnung der Hülle 1 in einer Leichtbauwand mit Gipskartonplatten 32 dargestellt worden. Selbstverständlich kann die Hülle 1 auch in einer aus Mauerwerk gebildeten Gebäudewand angeordnet werden. Wenn bei dieser Anordnung im Mauerwerk der umlaufende Flansch 12 stört, kann dieser einfach, z.B. mit einer Schere, abgeschnitten werden.In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the shell 1 in a lightweight wall with plasterboard 32 have been shown. Of course, the shell 1 can also be arranged in a wall made of masonry. If the circumferential flange 12 interferes with this arrangement in the masonry, this can simply be cut off, for example with scissors.
