EP1029990B1 - Cover underneath a washbasin - Google Patents

Abstract

The covering consists of a central U-shaped part (1) bent from a flat section, esp. of metal plate, to enclose the siphon trap. The part is open at the back and has a front main section (2) for connection to two vertical sides (3). An esp. vertical side wing (14) is fastened esp. adjustable to each side, to cover the valves. Each side has slots (11) for moveable holding of fasteners for the wings. The U-shaped part contains a two-part core (4), which clamp e.g. a pipe.

Description

The invention relates to a device for covering the installation parts below a washbasin by a middle one made of a flat part curved U-shaped part, in particular made of sheet metal, which surrounds the siphon The back is open and forms a front base area on which to both Connect vertical side panels on both sides, and two side panels in particular vertical wing parts that cover the valves.

It is known to install parts underneath a sink by grating or Cover sheets to visually cover the area below a sink to make it more appealing. Because the type and size of the installation parts very much are different, so far relatively large cover panels used.

From DE 33 47 103 A1 it is known to install below a Cover the washbasin with a fixed part with side wings. Since the Device not to different dimensions of the installation parts customizable, a lot of space is often wasted.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for covering Improve installation parts beneath sinks in such a way that they regardless of size and type of installation parts, flexible and universal can be used and adapted to the width and depth of the installation parts can.

• ein mittleres aus einem Flachteil gebogenes U-förmiges Teil insbesondere aus Blech, das den Syphon umgibt, zur Rückseite offen ist und einen vorderen Basisbereich bildet, an dem zu beiden Seiten senkrechte Seitenteile anschließen, und
• zwei seitliche insbesondere senkrechte Flügelteile, von denen jeweils eines an der Außenseite jedes Seitenteils insbesondere verstellbar befestigt ist, um die Ventile abzudecken.

This object is achieved in that

• a middle U-shaped part, in particular made of sheet metal, bent from a flat part, which surrounds the siphon, is open to the rear and forms a front base region, to which vertical side parts are connected on both sides, and
• two lateral, in particular vertical, wing parts, one of which is in each case attached to the outside of each side part, in particular in an adjustable manner, in order to cover the valves.

The parts used here can be adjusted in height and depth, so that they can be used for a wide variety of installation parts. Also are the wing parts can be exchanged for parts of different sizes, widths and heights. The parts are of the simplest design and handling and are suitable for retrofitting washbasins.

A particularly easy adjustment of the wing parts is achieved when the Side parts each have at least one slot, in which Fastening parts of the wing parts are guided. An easy Arranging the fasteners is achieved when the wing parts in the Side facing portion have a folded strip that Fasteners carries.

It when the wing parts on the U-shaped part is particularly advantageous opposite side are bent backwards.

A particularly simple and secure attachment of the U-shaped part reached when the U-shaped part at least partially by one inside Core part is filled, the outer surface at least partially on the Inner surface of the U-shaped part rests on an installation part in particular a vertical tube can be attached. Here, the core part be in two parts, with the parting plane of both parts through the installation part especially the pipe runs. The dividing plane should also be vertical and run parallel to the side panels.

It is particularly advantageous if the two parts of the core part are screwed together to the installation part in particular the pipe pinch between them. It is also advantageously proposed that the U-shaped part can be screwed onto the core part.

Another function is created when the cover in particular whose underside is attached to at least one horizontal plate as a shelf.

The covering device for installation parts below a wash basin W has a centrally arranged U-shaped part 1, which consists of a vertical arranged flat part in particular consists of a chromed sheet, with a front semi-cylindrical base region 2, on which two Connect vertical parallel side parts 3 as legs of the U. In In an embodiment not shown, the base area can also be straight or be slightly curved, so that the side parts are each one Connect the bend.

In order to be able to attach the U-shaped part 1 to the pipe which is between Siphon and the sink drain extends inside the U-shaped Part 1 is a core part 4 made of plastic, which consists of two equally large Half parts 4a, 4b is composed, the dividing line between the Half parts runs vertically and centrally between the side parts 3. The two Half parts 4a, 4b together form a cylindrical vertical recess 5 in Size and shape of the drain pipe, so that the two half parts on the Drain pipe can be clamped. Here are in the half parts 4a, 4b aligned holes 6, in which screws 7 with nuts 8th insert through which the half parts can be braced against each other. The U-shaped Part is with its side parts 3 to the core part 4 by at least a screw 9 fastened in a horizontal bore 10 of the core part 4th rests.

In the side parts 3 of the U-shaped part 1 there are horizontal elongated holes 11 introduced, with at least two elongated holes per side part 3 one above the other are introduced. Screws 12 with nuts 13 are located in these elongated holes 11 a, adjustable via the wing parts 14 on the U-shaped part. Those made of flat material, especially chrome-plated sheet metal Wing parts 14 are perpendicular to both sides of the U-shaped part Side panels and arranged vertically to the valves below the Cover washbasins that are attached to the wall. Here, the Screws 12 either in openings of a folded strip 15 of the Insert wing part or on the wing part is an L-profile made of plastic attached, one leg of each hole for the screws 12th are arranged and the other leg is attached to the wing part 14.

The outer region 16 of the wing part 14 facing away from the U-shaped part is bent backwards to also cover the valves optically receive. Parts 1 and 14 are preferably made of chromed sheet metal. she but can also be made from a flat plastic material.

On the underside of the U-shaped part 1 and the wing parts 14 is one plate-shaped tray 17 attached. Furthermore or alternatively, the A shelf can be attached to the top or in the middle area.
