Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a sanitary arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1, and a method according to claim 15 or 16.

STATE OF THE ART

In sanitary engineering, sealing foils are known for connecting water-bearing built-in components, such as, for example, shower surfaces, shower trays, floor drains, wall drains and the like. The sealing foils are tightly connected with respect to water with the component and are connected in the installed position with the component.

Most of these sealing films are fixed on site at the construction site by the installer to a built-in part. Especially for non-experienced installers, it may happen that the sealing films are fixed poorly, which then leads to problems with the tightness.

The orientation of the sealing film in the installed position depends essentially on the structural conditions. Typical orientations are in the vertical and the horizontal.

In the corner region of a water-conducting component, the sealing film is typically folded on site for installation. document EP2604160A1 shows a soclhes sealing tape, which is considered as the closest prior art. The folding is usually problematic because several layers of sealing must be connected to each other, for example with mortar or a coat of paint with the building.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Based on this prior art, the invention is in particular an object to provide a sanitary arrangement, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. A particularly preferred object is to provide a sanitary arrangement which is easier and safer to install under the proviso of a flexible insert on various configurations to be sealed. A particularly preferred object is to provide a shower surface with a sealing corner, which is easier to assemble under the proviso of a flexible insert to various configurations to be sealed.

This object is achieved by a sanitary arrangement according to the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, a sanitary arrangement comprises a built-in part with an upper side, a lower side, at least one side surface connecting the upper side and the lower side and at least one corner, and a sealing arrangement comprising a sealing film with at least one sealing corner and at least a band part. The sealing corner comprises a base part with at least two folding edges running at an angle to each other and intersecting at a corner point, a folding part, and at least two side parts which are connected to one another via the folding part and which are connected to the base part via the folded edges. Depending on a band part closes in each case one of the side parts and the base part and has in fold position also a folding edge, which forms the extension of the folding edge between side part and base part. The sealing assembly is factory-tight over the base part of the sealing corner and over the band part or parts of the band part at the bottom of the insert with respect to water tightly secured.

By a "factory attachment" is meant that the sealing assembly is attached during the manufacture of the sanitary arrangement on the mounting part. By the factory pre-fastening of the sealing arrangement to the mounting part, the sealing arrangement can be secured more securely and, above all, in a controlled environment to the mounting part. In addition, eliminating the connection of the sealing assembly with the fixture on the site, which also contributes to safety. Next goes at the factory pre-assembly the advantage that bring the installer by simple manipulation, the sealing corner or the sealing assembly in the desired position can.

Seen in the direction of the fold edge of the sealing corner, the band part forms an extension of the side part and of the base part. The band part has transverse to the fold substantially the same extent as the side part and the base part. The band part thus also comprises a side part and a base part, which are connected to one another via a folding edge. In other words, the cross section of the band part is preferably the same as the cross section of the sealing corner through the side part and the base part.

When viewed in the installed position, the underside of the built-in component preferably extends in the horizontal direction. This means that the base parts of the sealing corner or of the band part are also horizontal. The side parts then extend in the folded position substantially in the vertical and in the Auffaltlage preferably in the horizontal.

Preferably, the sealing assembly is folded over in a factory pre-folded mounting position against the surfaces of the mounting part. The refolding is such that the sealing arrangement is substantially completely applied to the mounting part.

Particularly preferably, the parts of the sealing arrangement protruding beyond the upper side of the installation part are folded against the upper side in a factory-prefolded mounting position. By this refolding are all parts of the seal assembly to surfaces of the fixture, which is advantageous for storage and transport.

Particularly preferably, the sealing arrangement is packed in a plastic film and / or a cardboard box, wherein plastic film and / or cardboard box hold the sealing film in the mounting position.

Particularly preferably, the sealing arrangement is held in the mounting position via an optional connecting element. For example, the sealing film can be fixed after the refolding in the mounting position with adhesive tape.

During assembly, the corresponding parts of the sealing arrangement are then unfolded into a folded position or unfolded position. For a wall connection are the folding part and the Side parts in installation position of the mounting part on the top out. Alternatively or additionally, for a floor connection, the folding part and the side parts in the installation position extend from the installation part substantially parallel to the underside and beyond the side edge.

• die Montagelage, in welcher die Dichtanordnung vorzugsweise zur Oberseite des Einbauteils umgefaltet ist,
• die Faltlage, in welcher die Dichtanordnung im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Oberseite des Einbauteils stehen, und
• die Auffaltlage, in welcher die Dichtanordnung im Wesentlichen parallel zur Unterseite des Einbauteils verläuft.

This means that the sealing arrangement can essentially assume three folding states, namely:

• the mounting position in which the sealing arrangement is preferably folded over to the top of the built-in part,
• the folded layer, in which the sealing arrangement are substantially perpendicular to the top of the insert, and
• the Auffaltlage, in which the sealing arrangement is substantially parallel to the underside of the insert.

For assembly, the sealing arrangement can be adapted depending on the prevailing conditions. For example, for a combined arrangement in a corner, in which case the sealing arrangement for the wall connection and the bottom connection is unfolded. The sealing arrangement is then in the folded position and unfolded position.

Preferably, in a variant, the sealing arrangement is further connected with areas of the side part and the hinge part with the side surface with the built-in part with respect to water tightly connected.

Preferably, in another variant, the sealing arrangement is connected exclusively to the base part and parts of the hinge part with the underside of the built-in part in connection. This means that the sealing corner is preferably exclusively connected to the sanitary installation part via the base section.

The sealing arrangement is preferably firmly bonded to the corresponding surfaces of the mounting part. This cohesive connection also has sealing properties and preferably extends in the region of the underside completely over the surface of the sealing arrangement facing towards the underside.

Preferably, the band part is integrally formed on the sealing corner. It is therefore an integrally formed and integrally formed structure. In another embodiment, the band member is tightly connected to the sealing corner with respect to water and is preferably of the same material. The tight connection is preferably achieved via a cohesive connection, such as an adhesive connection or a welded connection.

In a preferred embodiment, the sealing arrangement forms the shape of a polygonal, in particular a square, sealing frame. Next, the built-in part forms the shape of a polygonal, in particular square plate, wherein in each frame corner a sealing corner is arranged and the sealing corners are each connected to each other via a band member. Each of the plate corners is assigned a sealing corner. The band parts thus form the side edge of the polygonal sealing arrangement.

Particularly preferably, the elasticity of the band member is greater in a direction transverse to the fold edge of the band member than in the direction of the fold edge. As a result, changes in length when installed can be compensated particularly advantageous. Particularly preferably, the elasticity of the sealing corner is formed as described above. As a result, the transverse elasticity is approximately the same in all areas. This design is advantageous because, for example, a lowering of the screed can be easily compensated without the sealing effect would be adversely affected.

Preferably, the elasticity of the sealing film in a direction transverse to a line extending at an angle α of 45 ° or 135 ° to the folded edges is greater than in the direction of said line. As a result, changes in length when installed can be compensated particularly advantageous.

Preferably, the folding part is held by a separable and / or removable trained securing element in a factory pre-folded or factory-assembled folding position, wherein upon separation and / or removal of the securing element, the folding part of the prefolded or prefabricated folding layer can be unfolded in a Auffaltlage, so in that at least one of the side parts is pivotable about the folding edge relative to the base part.

Due to the arrangement of the securing element, the sealing corner can be pre-folded at the factory and in the separation and / or removal of the securing element, the sealing corner can then be unfolded for the particular application. In other words, the sealing corner is provided as a corner design and can thus be installed directly in a wall corner or the sealing corner can be unfolded for a flat version or a base joint or a wall joint in the Auffaltlage. This significantly facilitates the work of the installer, because he no longer has to fold the sealing corner from a flat sealing foil on site, but - if necessary - can unfold from a sealing corner. In addition, due to the factory folding the sealing corner can be folded more accurately.

Another advantage that arises from the prefolded sealing corner is that the installer does not have to be provided with different parts for different installation situations, but that he can provide these starting from the sealing corner by separating and / or removing the securing element and subsequent unfolding itself.

By factory pre-folding can also be achieved that the folding site builds only minimally, since a better folding than on-site folding by the installer can be achieved.

Under a separable trained fuse element is a fuse element understood, which is easily separable or divisible. For example, such a securing element by hand or with the aid of a simple tool, such as a pair of scissors or a knife, can be easily separated.

A removably designed securing element is understood to be a securing element which can be easily removed or separated from the sealing corner. The removal or the separation can be done as a whole or only partially.

Under a sanitary fitting a shower tray, a floor-level shower tray, a bathtub, a support frame, a shower surface, a vanity, etc. understood. By parts of a sanitary room, for example, a corner in a bathroom or a base joint or a wall joint is understood. Here, the sealing corner can be used for example between tile and screed or otherwise. The corner or the joint can be formed in various ways, by way of example the transition between a wall and the floor or similar transitions in the region of a seat is called. The sealing corner can also be used in combination with other elements, which raises the question of sealing.

The angle between the two folded edges is preferably between 45 ° and 135 °, in particular the angle between the two folded edges is 90 °.

Preferably, in the folded position, the side parts extend at an angle inclined, in particular at right angles, from the base part. The folding part is preferably folded in the folded position to one of the side parts and is on the fuse element with the side part in separable connection.

The side panels with each other are also inclined at an angle to each other, wherein the angle between the side panels corresponds to the angle between the two fold edges.

Preferably, in the unfolding position, at least one of the side parts or both side parts and at least parts of the folding part or the whole folding part lie in an orientation different from the folded position relative to the base part. Preferably, the base part and the side part or the side parts lie in a common plane, which corresponds to a surface of the base part.

In a first variant, the securing element is a cohesive securing element, which connects the folding part to one of the side parts.

Depending on the arrangement, the cohesive securing element can also connect sections of the folding part to one another. For example, the folding part may have two folding part sections, which are connected to one another at their mutually facing surfaces with the material-locking securing element. One of the two Faltteilabschnitte is then with the cohesive securing element with one of the side panels connected.

A cohesive securing element is preferably understood to be an adhesive or a welded connection.

Preferably, the cohesive securing element extends over only a partial area of the abutting surfaces of the folding part or of the side part, the said area being smaller in area by a multiple than the abutting surfaces of the folding part or the side part. The partial surface can consist of one surface section or several surface sections.

In other words, the cohesive securing element does not extend over the entire surface of the respective parts of the sealing corner which lie flat against one another in the folded state.

In a second variant, the securing element is a non-positive and / or positive securing element. For example, the securing element may be a clip which holds the corresponding parts together. The clip is preferably designed such that it does not penetrate the sealing film of the sealing corner and / or that the clip applies little with respect to the film thickness of the sealing film. It would also be conceivable for areas of the folding part and / or the side part to be further folded together, the folding part being secured to the side part via this further configuration. Also or alternatively, a hook and loop fastener, a clamp closure and / or a closure could be used by press-fitting.

In a third variant, the securing element is the combination of the first and the second variant. The cohesive securing element is supported by a non-positive and / or positive securing element.

Preferably, one of the two side parts comprises a first tab and the folding part comprises a second tab, which tabs are in the folded position with the securing element with each other. The fuse element connects the two tabs. Particularly preferably, the tabs extend from an outer edge of the side part or of the folding part.

Preferably, the tabs are formed by the folding part and the side part cut off.

• Ausschliessliche Anordnung des Sicherungselementes im Bereich der beiden Laschen; oder
• Anordnung des Sicherungselementes im Bereich der beiden Laschen sowie am Faltteil und dem entsprechenden Seitenteil

With regard to the arrangement of the securing element in connection with the two tabs, two different embodiments are preferably possible:

• Exclusive arrangement of the fuse element in the region of the two tabs; or
• Arrangement of the securing element in the region of the two tabs and on the folding part and the corresponding side part

In one embodiment, the securing element is thus arranged exclusively in the region of the two tabs. By removing, in particular cutting away, of at least one tab or of both tabs, the securing element is thus also removed from the sealing corner. However, the securing element in the region of the two tabs can also be designed such that it can be separated, in particular torn, between the tabs.

In an alternative embodiment, the securing element is thus arranged in the region of the two tabs and on the folding part and the corresponding side part. By removing, in particular cutting away, of at least one tab or of both tabs, the securing element is thus also removed from the sealing corner; or by separating the fuse element connecting the two tabs, the fuse element can be separated. The securing element on the folding part and the corresponding side part can be separated as described above.

In the alternative, the tabs can be removed as described above and the securing element on the folding part and side part can be torn open or the securing element between the tabs and on the folding part or on the side part can be torn open.

The securing element, which is the two tabs, is particularly preferred connects to each other, in all versions to the securing element according to the first variant described above, namely to the cohesive securing element. The other variants can also be used.

Preferably, in the region of the folded edges and / or the fold lines on the folding part, an embossing extending in the direction of the folding edge or of the fold lines is provided.

The sealing film is preferably a plastic film coated on both sides with a nonwoven. Preferably, the base part, the folding part and the two side parts are integrally connected to each other. Particularly preferably, the base part, the folding part and the two side parts are punched out of a film part.

The built-in part is in all embodiments preferably a shower tray, a floor-level shower tray, a bathtub, a support frame, a shower surface, a vanity unit, etc.

A method of manufacturing a sanitary arrangement as described above is characterized
that in a first step, the mounting part and the sealing arrangement are positioned relative to each other, and
in that, in a subsequent step, the sealing arrangement is fastened at least to the underside of the installation part, wherein the two steps take place in the same production installation, in particular in the same installation.

A method for preparing the installation of a sanitary arrangement as described above is characterized in that, prior to the installation of the sealing corner, the sealing corner is prepared for the installation situation, namely,
that prior to installation of the sanitary arrangement, the sealing arrangement is brought from the mounting position into the unfolded position; and

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In the FIG. 1 is a sealing corner 1 of a sealing film for sealing a sanitary Built-in part shown. The sealing corner 1 serves to seal the sanitary fixture against a building in which the sanitary fixture is to be installed.

The sealing corner 1 can essentially assume three states, namely a folded layer, as in FIGS FIGS. 1 and 2 shown, and a Auffaltlage, as in the FIGS. 3 to 5 shown. Furthermore, the sealing corner 1 together with the remaining parts of the sealing arrangement can also assume an assembly position, in which case the sealing arrangement essentially rests completely on the installation part. The sealing corner 1 is factory brought in the folding position during their manufacture and delivered to the installer in the folded position. The installer can then adapt the sealing corner 1 on site to the installation situation in the building. For example, he can install the sealing corner 1 in a folded position or he can unfold the sealing corner 1 in the Auffaltlage and install in Auffaltlage. The unfolding of the sealing corner 1 from the folding layer into the unfolding position is much easier for the installer than the folding of the sealing corner on site, resulting in a simple installation for the installer. In addition, the potential for error also decreases, because the installer does not feel obliged to fix the sealing film after folding with aids, such as staples or the like, which could influence the sealing effect. Consequently, with the inventive sealing corner not only the installation easier, but also safer.

The sealing corner 1 comprises in the embodiment shown, a base part 3 with at least two angularly inclined to each other and at a corner 4 outgoing folding edges 5, a folding part 6, and at least two on the folding part 6 in connection side panels 7, 8, which also over the folding edges 5 are in communication with the base part. The base part 3, the folding part 6 and the side parts 7, 8 are integrally connected with each other. In other words, the sealing corner 1 is formed in one piece.

The folding part 6 is held in the factory-prefolded folding position by means of a separable or separable securing element 9. The securing element 9 secures the folding part 6 to the side part 7, whereby the folding part 6 and also the side parts 7, 8 are held in their folded position. The securing element 9 thus prevents the two side parts 7, 8 and the folding part 6 from being folded into the unfolded position.

In a separation of the securing element 9, the folding part 6 can be unfolded in a Auffaltlage. In the FIGS. 3 to 5 the sealing corner 1 is shown in different Auffaltlagen. From the folded position into the unfolded position, the folding part 6 and at least one of the side parts 7, 8 are unfolded relative to the base part starting from the folded position.

In the folded position, as in the FIG. 1 shown, the side parts 7, 8 are inclined at an angle, here at right angles, away from the base part 3. The folding part 6 is folded over to one of the side parts, here to the side part 7, and is secured in its folded position with the securing element 9 to the side part 7.

In the FIG. 3 a liner between the fold sheet and the fold sheet is shown for illustration. In this intermediate layer, the securing element 9 has been separated and the folding part 6 and the side part 7, 8 have been pivoted relative to the base part 3.

In the FIGS. 4 and 5 the sealing corner 1 is shown in different Auffaltlagen. In the unfolding position, at least one of the side parts 7, 8 and parts of the folding part 7 is unfolded and lies in a different orientation to the base part 3 than in the folded position.

In the FIG. 4 another Auffaltlage is shown, in which case both side part 7, 8 and also the folding part 6 are unfolded in the Auffaltlage such that they lie in the same plane as the base part 3.

In the in the FIG. 5 As shown, the side part 7 extends in the same plane as the base part 3 and the side part 8 still extends at right angles to the base part 3. The folding part 6 here connects the two side part 7, 8 and is also oriented in the same position as that Side part 8. It is thus perpendicular to the base part 3 and the side part. 7

With reference to the FIGS. 1 to 5 Now further features of the inventive sealing corner 1 will be explained according to the present embodiment. The base part 3 is formed in the figures shown substantially L-shaped. Seen from the corner point 4, two base part legs 18 extend along the respective folding edge 5 away. This provides the said L-shaped structure. The base part legs 18 here have the same length in the direction of the folded edges 5. The length of the two base part legs 18 may also be different. Alternatively, the base part 3 can also be provided as a rectangle or square.

In the embodiment shown, the folding part 6 comprises a plurality of fold lines 19 on which the folding part 6 is folded.

The securing element 9 can be designed in various ways.

In a first variant, the securing element is a cohesive securing element 9, which connects the folding part 6 to one of the side part 7, 8. For example, a cohesive securing element is a splice or a welding point, which connects the individual layers of the folding part 6 with the side part 7, 8. In a separation of the securing element 9, the cohesive connection point, ie the splice and / or the welding point is torn open by the installer. The cohesive securing element 9 is preferably dimensioned such that it can be separated by hand without the aid of a tool.

The cohesive securing element according to the first variant preferably extends over only a partial surface 12 of the abutting surfaces of the folding part 6 or of the side part 7. The said partial surface 12 is in the FIG. 1 drawn as a dashed rectangle. The cohesive securing element 9 may, for example, extend over the surface of the said quadrilateral. The physical shape of said subarea 12 may also be different. For example, the partial surface 12 may be divided into several regions. It is thus possible that the cohesive connecting element extends over a plurality of regions, which then result in the partial surface 12 of the abutting surface. Examples of such areas are adhesive dots, glue lines, welding points or welding lines.

Said face 12 is smaller in area by a multiple smaller than the said abutting surfaces of the folding part 6 and the side part 7, 8. This allows a special simple separation of the cohesive securing element 9 can be achieved.

In a second variant, the securing element 9 is a non-positive and / or positive securing element.

In a third variant, the securing element 9 is the combination of the first and the second variant. The cohesive securing element is supported by a non-positive and / or positive securing element.

In the embodiments shown, one of the two side parts 7, 8, here the side part 7, comprises a first tab 13. The folding part 6 comprises a second tab 14. The tabs 13, 14 are optional, that is, the sealing corner 9 could according to the above description be formed without the tabs 13, 14. The tabs 13, 14 have the same shape and are from an upper edge 20 of the side part 7, 8 away. The tabs 13, 14 are integrally formed on the side part 7 and on the folding part 6.

The tabs 13, 14 are in the folded position on the fuse element 9 according to the above three variants with each other. But particularly preferred is the securing element 9 according to the first variant, namely the cohesive securing element. 9

In the embodiment shown, the first tab 13, as already explained, the side part 7 is formed. The second tab 14 is arranged on the folding part 6 at the folding part section 11 located farther away from the side part 7. Thus, the closer to the side part 7 Faltenteilabschnitt 10 of the folding part 6 is clamped between the fold portion 11 and the side part 7. The appropriate arrangement of the tabs can also be good in the FIGS. 3 to 5 be recognized.

The cohesive securing element 9 extends over a surface 21, which is shown in the region of the flap with an ellipse. The securing element 9, which in the Area of the tabs 13, 14 is arranged, but may also have a different physical extent. The securing element 9 in the region of the tab 13, 14 may extend over the entire area over the mutually facing surfaces of the tabs 13, 14 or it may also extend only over a surface part of the facing surfaces.

• Ausschliessliche Anordnung des Sicherungselementes 9 im Bereich der beiden Laschen 13, 14; oder
• Anordnung des Sicherungselementes 9 im Bereich der beiden Laschen 13, 14 und in der Teilfläche 12 gemäss obiger Beschreibung.

In the presence of the tabs 13, 14, either the arrangement of the securing element 9 in the partial surface 12 can be dispensed with, or the securing element 9 can additionally be arranged in the region of the partial surface 12. So there are two possible versions:

• Exclusive arrangement of the securing element 9 in the region of the two tabs 13, 14; or
• Arrangement of the securing element 9 in the region of the two tabs 13, 14 and in the partial surface 12 according to the above description.

The two tabs 13, 14, which are held together by the securing element 9, can be separated from each other in various ways.

First, it is possible that the two tabs 13, 14 or one of the two tabs 13, 14 are cut off by a cut with a pair of scissors or a knife from the side part 7 and the folding part 6, respectively. In this case, the securing element 9 is also separated from the sealing corner 1, whereby it can be folded in Auffaltlage. If an additional securing element 9 is arranged in the partial surface 12, this would also have to be separated.

Second, it is possible that the securing element 9, which connects the two tabs 13, 14 in the region of the tabs 13, 14, analogous to the securing element 9 as described above separate.

As mentioned above, the securing element 9 can also be provided by the second or third variant described above.

Of the FIG. 3 can be well recognized that in the region of the folded edges 5 and the folding lines 19 on the folding part 6 in the direction of the folding edge 5 and the folding lines 19th extending embossment 15 is provided. The embossment 15 is factory introduced before folding the folding part 6 and the side parts 7, 8 in the folded position. By embossing 15, the folding and unfolding can be greatly simplified.

The sealing film of the sealing corner 1 is preferably a plastic film coated on both sides with a nonwoven. But other materials can also be used.

The elasticity of the sealing film of the sealing corner 1 is greater in a direction Q transverse to a line L which extends at an angle α of 45 ° or 135 ° to the folded edges 5, as in the direction of said line L. This allows the greatest possible flexibility be provided in the desired direction of the sealing corner 1.

In the FIGS. 6 and 7 a sealing arrangement is shown. The sealing arrangement comprises four sealing corners 1, which are in each case connected to a band member 16 with each other. The band member 16 is tightly connected to the corresponding sealing corner 1 with respect to water. The joints carry the reference numeral 22. Alternatively, the sealing corners 1 and the band members 16 may also be integrally formed.

The cross section of the tape part following at a sealing corner seen transversely to its folding edge 17 corresponds substantially to the cross section of the sealing corner 1 seen transversely to the folding edge 5 in the region of the connection point 22. The band member 16 preferably also comprises a side part 7 and a base part 3, wherein the base part 3 is connected via a folding edge 5 with the side part 7 in connection.

In the FIG. 6 the sealing arrangement is in the folded position. Inside the sealing arrangement, a built-in part 2 can be arranged, which is then tightly connected to the base part 3 of the sealing corner 1 and with the band member 16 with respect to water. The combination of sealing arrangement and built-in part can be referred to as a sanitary arrangement. The connection between base part 3 and built-in part 2 as well as between hinge part 16 and built-in part 2 extends in the installed position in the horizontal. However, the base part 3 may also extend in the vertical, wherein it is then arranged, for example, on an end face of the mounting part.

In the FIG. 7 the said sanitary order is shown in more detail. The sanitary arrangement essentially comprises a built-in part 2 having a top side 23, a bottom side 24, a side surface 25 connecting the top side 23 and underside 24 and at least one corner 25, and a sealing arrangement comprising a sealing film with a sealing corner 1 and a band member 16 as described above , The sealing arrangement is factory-tightly fixed with respect to water via the base part 3 of the sealing corner 1 and over the band part 16 on the underside 23 of the built-in part 2.

• Eine Montagelage, in welcher die über die Oberseite 24 des Einbauteils 2 hervorstehenden Teile der Dichtanordnung in einer werkseitig vorgefalteten Montagelage gegen die Oberseite 24 umgefaltet werden; oder
• Eine Faltlage, in welcher die über die Oberseite 24 des Einbauteils 2 hervorstehenden Teile der Dichtanordnung in einer bezüglich der Oberseite 24 im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig orientiert sind;
• Eine Auffaltlage, in welcher Teil der Dichtanordnung parallel zur Unterseite 24 des Einbauteils 2 liegen.

The sealing arrangement can occupy essentially three different positions, namely

• An assembly position in which over the top 24 of the mounting part 2 protruding parts of the sealing assembly are folded in a factory-prefolded mounting position against the top 24; or
• A folding layer in which the parts of the sealing arrangement projecting beyond the upper side 24 of the insert part 2 are oriented substantially at right angles to one another in relation to the upper side 24;
• A Auffaltlage, in which part of the sealing arrangement are parallel to the bottom 24 of the built-in part 2.

In the FIG. 6 are all parts of the seal assembly in the folded position.

In the FIG. 7 three sealing corners 1 have been moved from the folded position into the unfolded position. A sealing corner 1 is still in the folded position. With such a configuration, it would be conceivable to install the built-in part 2, which here has the shape of a shower plate, in a corner in a bathroom and connect the fitting 2 tightly to the building via the sealing arrangement. The parts of the sealing arrangement projecting from the mounting part 2 over the upper side are connected to a wall, while the parts of the sealing arrangement lying parallel to the lower side 24 are designed as a floor connection.

In the embodiment shown, the sealing arrangement is exclusively with the base part 3 and parts of the band member 16 with the bottom 23 of the built-in part 2 in Connection. The connection is such that it does not expand exclusively on the underside 23 but on the side surface 25.

Preferably, the elasticity of the band member 16 in a direction transverse to the fold edge 17 of the band member 16 is greater than in the direction of the fold edge 17. In particular in connection with the above-described elasticity of the sealing corner 1, this design has the advantage that the elasticity is provided in the direction in which strains occur frequently.
