Abstract

The box comprises side walls in the installation position which run vertically to the surface of the installation wall and commonly define with the base a one-sided open inner space. At least one through passage is provided for a water feed conduit. Fixture devices are available for a sanitary fitting to be fitted in the inner space. On the outer surface of the side walls a ring-shaped sleeve (23) of elastic material is arranged. A sealing area (24) displaceably locates on the side walls. A flange area (25) is formed in one piece with the sealing area and in the installation position extends somewhat parallel to the outer surface of the installation wall and is tightly fixable to the covering of the installation wall facing the room interior.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Unterputz-Einbaukasten für Sanitärarmaturen, insbesondere zur Verwendung bei Vorwandsystemen im sanitären Trockenausbau, mit

  • a) einem in der Einbaulage etwa parallel zur Oberfläche der Einbauwand verlaufenden Boden;
  • b) in der Einbaulage etwa senkrecht zur Oberfläche der Einbauwand verlaufenden Seitenwänden, die gemeinsam mit dem Boden einen einseitig offenen Innenraum definieren;
  • c) mindestens einer Durchführung für eine Wasserzulaufleitung;
  • d) Befestigungsmitteln für eine im Innenraum anzubringende Sanitärarmatur. Unterputz-Einbaukästen dienen dazu, den Einbauraum einer sanitären Unterputzarmatur innerhalb einer Einbauwand freizuhalten und zu definieren. Die Einbauwand weist dabei ein Zugangsfenster auf, welches den Zugang zu dem Einbaukasten ermöglicht und in fertiggestelltem Zustand durch abnehmbare Sichtelemente (z. B. eine Rosette), abgedeckt ist. Zwischen den Rändern des Zugangsfensters der Einbauwand und den Seitenwänden des Einbaukastens verbleibt im allgemeinen ein gewisser Spalt, durch welchen Feuchtigkeit in das Wandinnere eindringen kann. Die Abdichtung dieses Spaltes bereitet insbesondere bei sogenannten Vorwandsystemen für den Trockenausbau Probleme. Die Dicke derartiger Vorwände, die im allgemeinen durch den Abstand zwischen einer Montageplatte, welche die tragende Struktur bildet, und einer zum Rauminneren zeigenden Verkleidung definiert ist, variiert nämlich je nach Einsatzort und Hersteller des Vorwandsystemes erheblich. Nach diesseitiger Kenntnis ist die Bewältigung dieses Abdichtungsproblems bisher noch nicht gelungen.Die DE-C-32 37 419 beschreibt eine Wandinstallation einer sanitären Unterputzarmatur. Bei dieser bekannten Wandinstallation wird allerdings kein Einbaukasten verwendet; vielmehr befindet sich das Armaturengehäuse der entsprechenden Sanitärarmatur direkt innerhalb der Einbauwand. Eine Feuchtigkeitsdämmfolie erstreckt sich im Bereich der Verkleidung der Einbauwand im wesentlichen über deren gesamte Erstreckung hinweg. Zur Überbrückung des Spaltes zwischen der Außenfläche des Armaturengehäuses und der Feuchtigkeitsdämmfolie ist ein starrer Flansch vorgesehen, an welchem der entsprechend ausgeschnittene Rand der Feuchtigkeitsdämmfolie verklemmt werden kann. Bei dem in Figur 2 der DE-C-32 37 419 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Flansch auf der Außenmantelfläche des Armaturengehäuses axial verschiebbar.Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Einbaukasten der eingangs genannten Art derart auszugestalten, daß bei unterschiedlichen Dicken der Einbauwand bzw. unterschiedlichen Einbautiefen des Einbaukastens in die Wand eine zuverlässige Abdichtung des Spaltes zwischen dem Zugangsfenster der Einbauwand und den Seitenwänden des Einbaukastens möglich ist.Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf der Außenfläche der Seitenwände des Einbaukastens eine ringförmige Manschette aus elastischem Material angeordnet ist, welche umfaßt:
  • e) einen an den Seitenwänden verschiebbar anliegenden Dichtbereich;
  • f) einen einstückig an den Dichtbereich angeformten Flanschbereich, der sich in der Einbaulage etwa parallel zur Außenfläche der Wand erstreckt und an einer zum Rauminneren zeigenden Komponente, insbesondere einer Verkleidung, der Wand dicht festlegbar ist.
    • The invention relates to a flush-mounting box for sanitary fittings, in particular for use in pre-wall systems in sanitary dry fitting, with
  • a) a floor running approximately parallel to the surface of the installation wall in the installation position;
  • b) in the installed position approximately perpendicular to the surface of the built-in side walls, which together with the floor define an open space on one side;
  • c) at least one bushing for a water inlet pipe;
  • d) Fasteners for a sanitary fitting to be installed in the interior. Flush-mounting boxes serve to keep and define the installation space of a sanitary concealed fitting within a wall. The built-in wall has an access window which enables access to the built-in box and is covered in the finished state by removable viewing elements (for example a rosette). There is generally a certain gap between the edges of the access window of the installation wall and the side walls of the installation box, through which gap moisture can penetrate into the interior of the wall. Sealing this gap causes problems, particularly in so-called pre-wall systems for dry lining. The thickness of such pre-walls, which is generally defined by the distance between a mounting plate, which forms the supporting structure, and a cladding pointing towards the interior, namely varies considerably depending on the place of use and the manufacturer of the pre-wall system. To the best of our knowledge, this sealing problem has not yet been overcome. DE-C-32 37 419 describes a wall installation of a sanitary concealed fitting. In this known wall installation, however, no installation box is used; rather, the fitting housing of the corresponding sanitary fitting is located directly inside the installation wall. In the area of the cladding of the installation wall, a moisture insulation film extends essentially over its entire extent. To bridge the gap between the outer surface of the fitting housing and the moisture insulation film, a rigid flange is provided, on which the correspondingly cut out edge of the moisture insulation film can be clamped. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2 of DE-C-32 37 419, the flange on the outer surface of the valve body is axially displaceable. The object of the present invention is to design a mounting box of the type mentioned in such a way that with different thicknesses of the mounting wall or Different installation depths of the installation box in the wall, a reliable sealing of the gap between the access window of the installation wall and the side walls of the installation box is possible. This object is achieved according to the invention in that an annular sleeve made of elastic material is arranged on the outer surface of the side walls of the installation box includes:
  • e) a sealing area which is slidably fitted on the side walls;
  • f) a flange area integrally formed on the sealing area, which in the installed position extends approximately parallel to the outer surface of the wall and on a component pointing towards the interior of the room, in particular a cladding, the wall can be tightly fixed.

    • Erfindungsgemäß wird also der Spalt zwischen Zugangsfenster der Einbauwand und Einbaukasten durch eine elastische Manschette dicht verschlossen, die mit einem Dichtungsbereich verschiebbar an der Außenfläche des Einbaukastens anliegt. Die Anlageposition dieses Dichtbereiches an dem Einbaukasten hängt dabei von der Einbautiefe des Einbaukastens und daher im allgemeinen von der Dicke der Einbauwand ab. Der einstückiger Flanschbereich der elastischen Manschette erstreckt sich parallel zur Einbauwand und ist an dieser bzw. deren Verkleidung festgelegt. Die Erstreckung reicht dabei nur so weit, wie dies zur Erzielung einer guten Verankerung und Abdichtung erforderlich ist. Eine über die gesamte Wandfläche verlaufende Feuchtigkeitsdämmfolie ist hierbei nicht vorgesehen. Auf Grund der Elastizität des für die Manschette eingesetzten Materials sowie auf Grund der Verschiebbarkeit des Dichtbereiches auf der Außenfläche des Einbaukastens ist eine äußerst flexible Anpassung an die unterschiedlichsten Einbaugegebenheiten möglich.According to the invention, the gap between the access window the installation wall and installation box by an elastic Cuff tightly sealed with a sealing area slidable on the outer surface of the installation box is present. The contact position of this sealing area the installation box depends on the installation depth of the Installation box and therefore generally of the thickness the built-in wall. The one-piece flange area of the elastic sleeve extends parallel to the installation wall and is attached to this or its cladding. The extension only extends as far as this to achieve good anchoring and sealing required is. One running across the entire wall surface Moisture insulation foil is not provided here. Due to the elasticity of the for the cuff used material and due to the movability of the sealing area on the outer surface of the installation box is an extremely flexible adaptation to the most varied Installation conditions possible.

    Bevorzugt wird eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, bei welcher der Dichtbereich zwei in Abstand voneinander befindliche Dichtlippen umfaßt. Durch die doppelte Abdichtlinie, die auf diese Weise erzeugt wird, wird das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in das Innere der Einbauwand noch besser verhindert als bei Verwendung einer einzigen Dichtlinie. Außerdem wird so der verschiebbare Dichtbereich auf der Außenfläche des Einbaukastens besser geführt.An embodiment of the invention is preferred in which is the sealing area two apart located sealing lips includes. Due to the double sealing line, created in this way will Moisture penetration inside the built-in wall prevented even better than when using a single sealing line. It also becomes the movable one Sealing area on the outer surface of the installation box better guided.

    Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß der Dichtbereich von einem starren Stützring umgeben ist. Dieser starre Stützring sorgt für den notwendigen Anpreßdruck des Dichtbereiches an die Außenfläche des Einbaukastens, bei welchem eine gute Abdichtung gewährleistet ist.A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the sealing area of is surrounded by a rigid support ring. This rigid support ring ensures the necessary contact pressure of the sealing area to the outer surface of the installation box, at which a good seal is guaranteed.

    Herstellungstechnisch ist es dabei besonders günstig, wenn der Dichtbereich formschlüssig in den Stützring eingeknüpft ist.In terms of production technology, it is particularly favorable if the sealing area is form-fitting in the support ring is attached.

    Häufig besteht die zum Rauminneren zeigende Verkleidung der Einbauwand aus zwei Komponenten. So wird z.B. bei Vorwandsystemen im allgemeinen als Verkleidung eine Gipskartonplatte eingesetzt, auf welcher eine Verfliesung angebracht ist. In einem solchen Falle kann der Flanschbereich der erfindungsgemäßen Manschette zwischen die beiden Elemente der Verkleidung eingeführt und dort verklebt werden. Wenn dann der Flanschbereich in seinem äußeren Bereich mit einer Vielzahl von Löchern versehen ist, werden diese Löcher vom Klebstoff durchdrungen. Dies verbessert die Verankerung des Flanschbereichs der Manschette innerhalb der Wandverkleidung.Often there is a panel facing the interior of the room the built-in wall made of two components. For example, at Wall systems in general as a cladding Plasterboard used, on which a tiling is appropriate. In such a case, the flange area the cuff according to the invention between the introduced both elements of the cladding and there be glued. Then if the flange area in his provided a large number of holes in the outer area these holes are penetrated by the adhesive. This improves the anchoring of the flange area of the sleeve inside the wall covering.

    an enlarged detail of Figure 1.

    In Figur 1 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 die Montageplatte eines Vorwandsystemes für den sanitären Trockenausbau dargestellt, die zur Befestigung unterschiedlichster Bauelemente mit einer Vielzahl von Löchern versehen ist. An ausgewählten Löchern dieser Montageplatte 1 ist ein Distanzstück 2 mit Schraubverbindungenen 3, 4 festgelegt, an welchem wiederum mit Hilfe von Schrauben 6 ein Einbaukasten 5 befestigt ist. Das Distanzstück 2 dient nicht nur dazu, dem Einbaukasten 5 gegenüber der Montageplatte 1 den richtigen Abstand zu geben; gleichzeitig dient es als "Adapterstück", welches mit Hilfe von Bohrungssätzen 7 den Anschluß zu unterschiedlichen Lochsystemen in den Montageplatten 1 unterschiedlicher Hersteller herbeiführen kann.In Figure 1 with the reference numeral 1 is the mounting plate a pre-wall system for sanitary dry lining shown that for attaching the most varied Provide components with a variety of holes is. At selected holes in this mounting plate 1 is a spacer 2 with screw connections 3, 4 fixed, which in turn with the help of screws 6 an installation box 5 is attached. The spacer 2 not only serves the installation box 5 opposite the mounting plate 1 give the correct distance; at the same time it serves as an "adapter piece", which with the help of hole sets 7 the connection to different Hole systems in the mounting plates 1 different Manufacturers can bring about.

    Über Durchführungen 8, 9 in den Seitenwänden des Einbaukastens 5 sind strichpunktiert angedeutete Wasserzulaufleitungen 10 bzw. Wasserablaufleitungen 11 in den Innenraum 12 des Einbaukastens 5 eingeführt und dort an eine ebenfalls stichpunktiert dargestellte Sanitärarmatur 13 angeschlossen. Die Sanitärarmatur 13 ihrerseits ist mit Hilfe von Schrauben 14 an einem Befestigungsansatz 15 des Einbaukastens 5 festgelegt.Via bushings 8, 9 in the side walls of the installation box 5 are water supply lines indicated by dash-dotted lines 10 or water drain lines 11 in the interior 12 of the installation box 5 introduced and there to a Sanitary fitting also shown in broken lines 13 connected. The sanitary fitting 13 is in turn with the help of screws 14 on a fastening attachment 15 of the installation box 5 set.

    Die Sanitäraramtur 13 ragt nach außen über den Einbaukasten 5 über und ist dort während der Rohbauphase in bekannter Weise durch eine Montagehaube 16 geschützt, die stirnseitig auf das offene Ende des Einbaukastens 5 aufgesetzt und bei dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit Hilfe einer Schraube 17 an der Sanitärarmatur 13 lösbar angebracht ist. Nach Abschluß des Rohbaues bzw. Fertigstellung der Vorwand, an welcher der Einbaukasten 5 mit der Sanitärarmatur 13 vorgesehen ist, wird die Montagehaube 16 in bekannter Weise abgenommen und dann durch entsprechende Sichtelemente, insbesondere eine Abdeckrosette und eine Abdeckhaube sowie ggfs. durch das Bedienungselement der Sanitärarmatur ersetzt und ergänzt.The sanitary ware 13 protrudes outwards over the installation box 5 above and is known there during the shell construction phase Protected by a mounting hood 16, the front placed on the open end of the installation box 5 and in the illustrated embodiment using a Screw 17 releasably attached to the sanitary fitting 13 is. After completion of the shell or completion of the Pretext on which the installation box 5 with the sanitary fitting 13 is provided, the assembly hood 16 removed in a known manner and then by appropriate View elements, in particular a cover rosette and a Cover and, if necessary, by the control element of the Sanitary fitting replaced and supplemented.

    In Figur 1 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 18 eine Gipskartonplatte gekennzeichnet, wie sie bei der Herstellung von Vorwänden der hier interessierenden Art als zum Rauminneren zeigendes Verkleidungselement gebräuchlich ist. Über dieser Gipskartonplatte 18 ist als weiteres Element der Verkleidung eine Verfliesung 19 aufgebracht. Sowohl die Gipskartonplatte 18 als auch die Verfliesung 19 weisen ein Zugangsfenster 20 bzw. 21 auf, welches den Zugang zu dem Einbaukasten 5 freigibt.In Figure 1 with the reference numeral 18 is a plasterboard featured as in the manufacture of Pretexts of the type of interest here as to the interior of the room facing trim element is in use. over this plasterboard 18 is another element of Cladding applied a tiling 19. Both the Gypsum plasterboard 18 and the tiling 19 point an access window 20 or 21, which gives access to the installation box 5 releases.

    Zwischen den Zugangsfenstern 20, 21 und dem Einbaukasten 5 verbleibt ein Spalt 22, der im Bereich des Zugangsfensters 20 in der Gipskartonplatte 18 normalerweise breiter als im Bereich des Zugangsfensters 21 der Verfliesung 19 ist. Um zu verhindern, daß durch diesen Spalt 22 Feuchtigkeit in das Innere der Vorwand, also hinter Verfliesung 19 und Gipskartonplatte 18, eindringt, ist eine ringförmige elastische Manschette 23 vorgesehen, welche diesen Spalt verschließt. Die Manschette 23 umfaßt einstückig einen Dichtbereich 24, der verschiebbar an der Außenfläche des Einbaukastens 5 anliegt, sowie einen Flanschbereich 25, der sich bis in den Spalt zwischen der Verfliesung 19 und der Gipskartonplatte 18 hineinerstreckt und dort verklebt ist.Between the access windows 20, 21 and the installation box 5, a gap 22 remains in the area of the access window 20 usually wider in the plasterboard 18 than in the area of the access window 21 of the tiling 19 is. To prevent moisture 22 through this gap into the interior of the pretext, i.e. behind the tiling 19 and plasterboard 18, penetrates is an annular elastic sleeve 23 is provided which this gap closes. The sleeve 23 integrally comprises one Sealing area 24 which is slidable on the outer surface of the Installation box 5 rests, and a flange area 25, which extends into the gap between the tiling 19 and the plasterboard 18 stretched in and glued there is.

    Der Dichtbereich 24 der Manschette 23 ist in Figur 3 genauer erkennbar. Wie dort gezeigt, umfaßt er zwei radial nach innen ragende, einstückige angeformte Dichtlippen 26, 27 sowie eine radial nach außen stehende Rippe 28. Der Dichtbereich 24 der Manschette 23 ist in einen Stützring 29 aus starrem Material derart eingeknüpft, daß die Rippe 28 formschlüssig in eine Nut 31 des Stützringes 29 eingreift. Durch den Stützring 29 werden die Dichtlippen 26, 27 des Dichtbereiches 24 mit der erforderlichen Pressung an die Außenfläche des Einbaukastens 5 angedrückt.The sealing area 24 of the sleeve 23 is in FIG. 3 more clearly recognizable. As shown there, it comprises two radially inwardly protruding, one-piece molded sealing lips 26, 27 and a radially outwardly extending rib 28. The sealing area 24 of the sleeve 23 is in a support ring 29 knotted from rigid material so that the Rib 28 in a form-fitting manner in a groove 31 of the support ring 29 intervenes. Through the support ring 29, the sealing lips 26, 27 of the sealing area 24 with the required Pressing pressed against the outer surface of the installation box 5.

    Die Ringformen des Dichtbereiches 24 der Manschette 23 sowie des Stützringes 29 sind der Außenkontur des Einbaukastens 5 angepaßt; ist diese Außenkontur kreisförmig, so sind der Dichtbereich 24 und der Stützring 29 entsprechend geformte Kreisringe. Ist dagegen die Außenkontur des Einbaukastens 5 im Querschnitt rechteckig, so sind entsprechend der Dichtbereich 24 und der Stützring 29 "Rechteckringe".The ring shapes of the sealing area 24 of the sleeve 23 and the support ring 29 are the outer contour of the installation box 5 adapted; if this outer contour is circular, then the sealing area 24 and the support ring 29 are corresponding shaped circular rings. However, is the outer contour of the Installation box 5 rectangular in cross section, are accordingly the sealing area 24 and the support ring 29 "rectangular rings".

    Der Flanschbereich 25 der Manschette 23 ist in der Draufsicht in Figur 2 zu erkennen. Ersichtlich ist dieser Flanschbereich 25 in der Nähe seines äußeren Randes mit einer Vielzahl von Löchern 30 versehen. Diese werden bei der Verklebung zwischen Verfliesung 19 und Gipskartonplatte 18 von dem Klebstoff durchdrungen, so daß der Umfangsrand des Flanschbereiches 25 zwischen Verfliesung 19 und Gipskartonplatte 18 fest verankert ist. Die Form der Außenkontur des Flanschbereiches 25 der Manschette 23 folgt im wesentlichen der Form der Zugangsfenster 20 und 21, die in der Gipskartonplatte 18 bzw. der Verfliesung 19 ausgespart sind, und damit im allgemeinen der Form des Einbaukastens 5. Die Breite des Flanschbereiches 25 wird so gewählt, daß eine zuverlässige Verankerung zwischen Gipskartonplatte 18 und Verfliesung 19 und eine gute Abdichtung gewährleistet sind.The flange area 25 of the sleeve 23 is in plan view can be seen in Figure 2. This is evident Flange region 25 near its outer edge with a plurality of holes 30 provided. These are at the gluing between tiling 19 and plasterboard 18 penetrated by the adhesive, so that the peripheral edge the flange area 25 between tiling 19 and Plasterboard 18 is firmly anchored. The shape of the Outer contour of the flange area 25 of the sleeve 23 essentially follows the shape of the access windows 20 and 21 in the plasterboard 18 or the tiling 19 are omitted, and thus generally the shape of Installation box 5. The width of the flange area 25 is chosen so that a reliable anchorage between Plasterboard 18 and tiling 19 and a good one Sealing is guaranteed.

    Wie bereits erwähnt, ist der Dichtbereich 24 der Manschette 23 auf der Außenkontur des Einbaukastens 5 verschiebbar. Hierdurch kann unterschiedlichen Abständen zwischen der Montageplatte 1 und der durch Gipskartonplatte 18 und Verfliesung 19 gebildeten Sichtverkleidung Rechnung getragen werden. In der oberen Hälfte der Figur 1 ist ein Fall dargestellt, in welchem dieser Abstand verhältnismäßig klein ist. Dann liegt der Dichtbereich 24 der Manschette 23 verhältnismäßig "tief", also verhältnismäßig nahe an der Montageplatte 1 an der Außenkontur des Einbaukastens 5 dichtend an. Anders dagegen in der unteren Hälfte der Figur 1, wo ein Fall dargestellt ist, bei welchem der Abstand zwischen der die Gipskartonplatte 18 und die Verfliesung 19 umfassenden Verkleidung von der Montageplatte 1 verhältnismäßig groß ist. Hier ist der Dichtbereich 24 der Manschette 23 an den äußersten Rand des Einbaukastens 5 herangerutscht, so daß sogar nur noch die eine (26) der beiden Dichtlippen 26, 27 an der Außenkontur des Einbaukastens 5 selbst anliegt, während die zweite (27) dieser Dichtlippen schon auf der Montagehaube 16 aufliegt.As already mentioned, the sealing area 24 is the cuff 23 displaceable on the outer contour of the installation box 5. This allows different distances between the mounting plate 1 and the by plasterboard 18 and tiling 19 formed cladding bill be worn. In the upper half of the figure 1 shows a case in which this distance is relatively small. Then the sealing area is located 24 of the cuff 23 relatively "deep", that is, relatively close to the mounting plate 1 on the outer contour of the installation box 5 sealing. But different in the lower half of Figure 1, where a case is shown is at which the distance between the Gypsum plasterboard 18 and tiling 19 covering of the mounting plate 1 relatively large is. Here is the sealing area 24 of the sleeve 23 slipped to the outermost edge of the installation box 5, so that even only one (26) of the two sealing lips 26, 27 on the outer contour of the installation box 5 itself abuts while the second (27) of these sealing lips already rests on the assembly hood 16.

    Ersichtlich ist es mit dieser Ausgestaltung möglich, bei unterschiedlichen Fabrikaten von Vorwandsystemen einen gute Feuchtigkeitssperre in den Raum zwischen der zum Rauminneren zeigenden Verkleidung und der Montageplatte der Vorwand zu erreichen.Obviously, with this configuration it is possible with different makes of pre-wall systems a good moisture barrier in the space between the facing the interior of the room and the mounting plate to achieve the excuse.
