Description

The invention relates to an installation block with at least one line section for water, to which a connection element for a further water-bearing installation element is arranged, wherein the line section is held in a receiving element, and with at least one mounting element which is arranged on an outer surface of the receiving element.

Installation blocks for water installation, such as sinks, bathtubs, showers, toilets, etc., have long been known. They offer a huge improvement in the construction phase of a building, since these are prefabricated connections, which are accommodated in an insulating element. It can thus be reduced elaborate Stemm work in walls or even avoided if the installation block, for example, follows a standard division, which also applies to bricks.

Installation blocks, such as those from the AT 13 565 U1 or the DE 199 28 806 A1 are known, to name only two representatives thereof, often have mounting elements with which you can be fixed in or on a wall. The fixation can only serve to fix the position of the installation block for foaming the remaining gap between the installation block and the wall. The fixing points are predetermined by the mounting elements, whereby these installation blocks are relatively rigid in terms of mounting.

The present invention is based on the object to simplify the installation of an installation block.

This object is achieved with the installation block mentioned above in that a guide element is arranged between the receiving element and the mounting element, wherein the mounting element is arranged displaceably in the guide element.

The advantage here is that the exact mounting position within the limits of the system is freely selectable by the displaceability of the mounting element. The fitter is thus no longer bound to exactly predetermined fixing points. It can thus be better taken into account situations in which in the wall on which or in which the installation block is to be mounted, run further water pipes or if the point in the wall or wall, on which the installation block is to be fixed, from others Reasons is not suitable, for example, due to low pull-out strength for nails or screws. In addition, it is thus also easier to be able to adapt the mounting system easier to different sized receiving element by only the guide element must be cut to length accordingly. In addition, with the guide element better load transfer over a larger area can be achieved.

According to one embodiment variant of the installation block, provision can be made for the guide element to have a slot-shaped recess into which a part of the mounting element protrudes. It can thus be improved the leadership of the mounting element when moving. In addition, thus a better contact of the mounting element can be achieved to the guide element, whereby the mounting member can be better held in the guide member.

According to an embodiment variant, it can be provided that the slot-shaped recess has an L-shaped cross section with an initial portion and an adjoining end portion that further the mounting member extends through the initial portion to the end portion, wherein an end portion of the mounting element is angled. It can thus be achieved in a higher stability of the mounting of the mounting element in or on the guide element.

But it is also possible that the slot-shaped recess has a T-shaped cross-section with an initial portion and an adjoining end portion, further that the mounting member extends through the initial portion to the end portion, wherein an end portion of the mounting member is angled. Due to the T-shaped cross-sectional shape, it is easily possible to turn over the mounting element, whereby the degree of freedom with respect to the specific local fixation of the installation block can be further increased.

According to a further embodiment of the installation block can be provided that the guide element is formed laterally encompassing the receiving element. It can thus be improved stability of the holder of the guide element on the receiving element, which subsequently also the fixation of the installation block on or in a wall or wall can be improved.

It is also possible that the guide element completely covers a lateral end face of the receiving element. Since the receiving element usually consists of an insulating material, such as a polyurethane foam, with this embodiment, an improved tear resistance of the attachment of the Guide element can be achieved on the receiving element. In addition, thus an edge protection for the receiving element can be realized.

It can further be provided that the receiving element has at least one groove-shaped recess for partially receiving the guide element, whereby the connection between the guide element and the receiving element can be improved.

According to a further embodiment of the installation block can be provided that the mounting element has an angle element with a first leg and a second leg, wherein both the first and the second leg have at least one breakthrough. In addition to the fixation of the mounting element on or in the wall or wall with the at least one recesses in the second leg and a fixation of the mounting element can be achieved on the receiving element, which can further improve the fixation of the installation block or in a wall or wall.

In 1 is a variant of an installation block 1 shown.

It should already be noted at this point that the concretely illustrated embodiment variant of the installation block 1 is not limiting. Rather, the execution of the installation block depends 1 after each use in the water installation, so if, for example, only one water connection or more should be present, or if an outlet should be present, etc. The installation block 1 to 1 has a first water connection 2 for cold water and a second water supply 3 for hot water and a waste water connection 4 on. These connections are in a receiving element 5 arranged, which in particular as (self-supporting) insulating element or insulating body, for example, made of a rigid polyurethane foam (PU = polyurethane) is executed. At this receiving element 5 are on an outer surface mounting elements 6 arranged to allow a fixation of the installation block 1 to allow on or in a wall or wall.

The installation block 1 can in addition to attachment via the at least one mounting element 6 be foamed into the corresponding wall outlet of a wall, in particular with a PU foam.

The installation block 1 Can be used in brick walls or drywall. It is installed at least approximately flush with the rough wall and can be plastered with one or drywall panels. If necessary, tiles can be applied to the wall.

In the receiving element 5 is at least one (vertical) line section 7 is arranged for water, in particular a pressure pipe section. Im in 1 illustrated embodiment are two such line sections 7 available, one for cold water and one for hot water. Both or generally all such line sections 7 can be the same.

At the at least one line section 7 is a connection element 8th arranged. The connection element 8th is with the respective line section 7 connected. For example, the connection element 8th be a 90 ° bend so that the water pipe is towards a front side 14 of the installation block 1 is diverted. In principle, however, the connection element 8th also be executed differently.

This basic structure of the installation block 1 for the water installation is known from the prior art, so reference is made to avoid repetition.

It is now envisaged that between the mounting element (s) 6 and the receiving element 5 a guide element 10 is arranged.

Both the guide element 10 as well as the mounting element (s) 6 may consist of a metallic material or of a plastic, in particular a hard plastic, for example PP or PVC. But there are also mixed variants possible, that is, the guide element 10 made of a plastic and the one or more mounting elements 6 consist of a metallic material, or vice versa.

A variant of the guide element 10 and the mounting element 6 or the mounting elements 6 is better off the 2 and 3 seen.

Generally, this is the guide element 10 preferably in the region on a vertical end face 11 of the receiving element 5 and disposed adjacent thereto, preferably on both vertical end faces 11 of the receiving element 5 such a guide element 10 is arranged, like this 1 is apparent. The term "vertical" refers to the normal installation position of the installation block 1 ,

But there is also the possibility that at the upper and the lower horizontal end face such a guide elements 10 instead of or in addition to the in 1 illustrated guide elements 10 are arranged.

After the guide elements 10 are preferably formed the same, is only more on a guide element in the following 10 received. Should have more than one guide element in the installation block 1 can be arranged, the following comments on the guide element 10 also on these other guiding elements 10 be transmitted. The same applies to the mounting elements 6 ,

The guide element 10 is in this embodiment as an elongated profile element 11 educated. In particular, the guide element extends 10 over a total length 13 of the receiving element 5 in the vertical direction. The guide element 10 but can also only over a portion of this total length 13 extend. In arrangement of the guide element 10 on a horizontal end face of the receiving element 5 these versions are accordingly adaptable to transferable. In addition, it is also possible that the guide elements 10 over the entire circumference of the receiving element 6 extends.

As in particular from 3 can be seen, the guide element 10 a slot-shaped recess 14 in which a part of the mounting element 6 protrudes. Preferably, the slot-shaped recess 14 so dimensioned that the mounting element 6 on both sides of the walls of the recess 14 forming sections of the guide element 10 is applied.

It should be noted at this point that the guide element 10 and / or the mounting element 6 can consist of folded sheet metal strips.

However, there is also the possibility that the clear width of the slot-shaped recess 14 is sized so that the mounting element 6 not on both sides of this rests.

According to a preferred and in particular from 3 apparent embodiment of the installation block 1 ( 1 ) can be provided that the slot-shaped recess 14 a T-shaped cross section with an initial section 15 and an adjoining end portion 16 has, and that further the mounting element 6 through the beginning section 15 until the end section 16 extends, wherein an end portion 17 of the mounting element 6 is formed angled.

To form the T-shaped cross section of the slot-shaped recess is the end portion 16 in particular perpendicular to the beginning section 15 oriented. It may be further provided that the end portion 16 has a larger clear width than the beginning section 15 ,

An angle 18 the bending of the end portion of the mounting element 6 may be selected from a range of 10 ° to 170 °, in particular from a range of 90 ° to 135 °.

With this embodiment of the guide element 10 can be achieved, in particular by the end portion 16 of the T-shaped cross-section of the slot-shaped recess 14 in that the mounting element 6 also turned around in the recess 14 can be introduced, as in 4 is shown. These 4 shows an upper and a lower mounting element 6 , wherein the upper mounting element 6 is aligned to the rear, and the lower mounting element 6 Forward.

If this reversibility of the mounting elements 6 is not needed, the improved mounting of the mounting element 6 over the angled end section 17 on the guide element 10 but is desired, instead of the T-shaped cross section of the end portion 16 the slot-shaped recess 14 an L-shaped cross section be provided by, for example, only the in 3 from the beginning section 15 beginning, vertically upwardly extending part of the end portion 16 is left. Of course, only the vertically downwardly extending part of the end portion 16 be left.

But there are also other embodiments of the guide element 10 and the mounting element 6 possible. For example, the slot-shaped recess 14 in the mounting element 6 be formed and the guide element 10 engage with a, optionally angled, web in this slot-shaped recess. In other words, the related functionality of these elements described above may be reversed. In other words, the embodiments of the installation block shown in the figures are 1 Although preferred embodiments, but the scope of non-limiting embodiments.

As in particular from 3 can be seen, the guide element 10 one or two folded end portions 19 preferably at least approximately perpendicular to the slot-shaped recess 14 are oriented.

The mounting element 6 can now one to the angled end section 17 immediately following intermediate section 20 having a length which is at least approximately the length of the initial portion 15 the slot-shaped recess 14 equivalent. It can thus be achieved that the mounting element with a first leg 21 an angle element 22 at the end area 19 of the guide element 10 is applied. The lengths of the beginning section 15 of the guide element 10 and the intermediate section 20 of the mounting element 6 also be sized so that over the angled end section 17 of the mounting element 6 a bias is generated with which the mounting element 6 on the guide element 10 is held. In particular, this can be the length of the intermediate section 20 of the mounting element 6 be slightly smaller than the length of the initial section 15 the slot-shaped recess 14 of the guide element 10 , The said lengths are considered running in the same direction.

For the arrangement of the guide element 10 on the receiving element 5 can according to another embodiment of the installation block 1 ( 1 ) Be provided that this per guide element 10 at least one groove-shaped recess 23 has, like this 5 can be seen, which is a view of the receiving element 5 pointing in the direction of the upper horizontal end face. The groove-shaped recess 23 serves to receive a part of the guide element 10 in the area of the end section 16 from its slot-shaped recess 14 ( 3 ), as in 5 is indicated by dashed lines. This can be an area 24 along a side edge 25 of the receiving element 5 opposite his front 9 be withdrawn to an at least approximately flush arrangement of the guide element 10 to enable.

By the end region (s) 19 is it possible for the guide element 10 the receiving element 5 laterally, ie in the area of the end faces 11 , is arranged around.

The groove-shaped recess 23 can also be in the face area 11 of the receiving element 5 be educated. In this case, the guide element from above or below in this groove-shaped recess 23 be inserted.

According to an embodiment variant it can be provided that the guide element 10 the lateral end face 11 of the receiving element 5 completely covers and preferably into the area of a back 26 of the receiving element 5 extends, as in 5 also shown by dashed lines. The guide element 10 can therefore have a receiving groove in which the receiving element 5 can be included.

According to a further embodiment variant of the installation block 1 can be provided that the mounting element 6 the angle element 22 with the first leg 21 and a second leg 27 wherein both the first and the second leg 21 . 27 at least one breakthrough 28 exhibit. Preferably, in both legs 21 . 27 trained several breakthroughs.

The breakthroughs 28 of the second leg 27 serve the arrangement of fasteners 29 ( 1 ), such as screws or nails, for fixing the installation block on or in a wall or wall.

With the breakthroughs 28 of the first thigh 21 However, a fixation of the mounting element 6 or of the guide element 10 on the receiving element 5 about other fasteners 29 , such as screws or nails can be achieved.

But it is also possible that the guide element 10 partly in the receiving element 5 is foamed. This can be the guide element 10 during manufacture of the receiving element 5 are inserted into the corresponding mold cavity of the foam mold before the raw material for the plastic foam is introduced into the foaming mold. It It is also possible that the guide element 10 is partially foamed.

With appropriate design of the foam mold is also the possibility that not only the receiving element 5 but also the guide element 10 is produced in this foaming mold, for example by injection molding.

Only for the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the guiding element 10 and the mounting element 6 are preferably formed in one piece or one piece.

Instead of the breakthroughs 28 in the second leg 27 this can also have hooks or the like., With which the attachment of the installation block 1 on or in a wall or wall can be made possible.

The exemplary embodiments show or describe possible design variants of the installation block 1 , wherein it should be noted at this point that also various combinations of the individual variants with each other possible.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the structure of the installation block 1 this or its components were not necessarily shown to scale.
