Definitions

the invention relates to a molded foam tub support made of rigid foam for bathtubs or shower trays, consisting of a circumferential wall and a bottom, which merge into one another and form a trough for receiving the tub, the bottom having at least one recess for a tub drain.
tub supports made of polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam have proven their worth. They can be installed quickly, are heat-insulating, soundproof and allow the tub to be replaced if necessary.
At least one drain connection pipe is arranged in the wall of the tub support, the inlet end of which points towards the outer surface of the wall and the outlet end of which is directed into the recess below the level of the floor.
the drain of a washing machine another device which dispenses hot water or a wash basin can be connected to the inlet end of such a drain connection pipe fitted in the tub support, be it via a hose or a pipe connection.
the inlet end of the outlet connection pipe is designed either as a plug-in, screw or hose connection, as is customary in sanitary engineering using appropriate seals, such as elastic rubber sleeves or O-rings.
the drain connection pipe is arranged in a prefabricated recess.
such a recess can be formed directly in the molding tool by means of a corresponding insert piece or a slide.
the drain connection pipe can either be used immediately by the manufacturer of the tub support or this only happens during assembly on the construction site.
the second measure is always favorable if several recesses are provided for a drain connection pipe on the tub support, because in this case, taking into account the location of the sewage pipe on the building side, the required position of the recess in the tub support for receiving the drain fitting and the required placement of the washing machine can use the most conveniently located recess for inserting the drain connection pipe.
the arrangement of several recesses in a tub support allows the storage of tub supports with special positioning of a single recess (for example at the head or foot end, at the Avoid right or left).
the drain connection pipe can be fixed in the recess by gluing.
the drain connection pipe is preferably fixed in the recess by a clamping bracket.
the recess containing the drain connection pipe preferably has a cover aligned with the outer surface of the wall, and filler pieces are inserted into any other similar recesses.
Such a cover or the filler pieces preferably also consist of foam and serve to fill the remaining space for stabilizing the tub support and as a support for the tiles with which the tub support is usually covered on the outside.
the thickness of the seal is either matched to the thickness of the remaining space or the recess is provided with a circumferential recess in which the edge of the cover is fitted.
the drain connection pipe is foamed.
brackets such as, for example, spacers attached to the drain connection pipe or slide bolts engaging in the inlet and outlet ends of the connection drain pipe. Said spacers are foamed in and remain in the foam of the tub support.
the drain connection pipe has a siphon or is designed as such.
the inlet end of the drain connection pipe should preferably be above the maximum water level in the tub, i.e. at least at the level of the usual overflow on tubs.
drain connection pipe has a simple shape, it can be manufactured as one piece. However, more complicated designs can be better identified from standard pipe sections, elbows, branches, siphons, valves, connections, especially those with plug connections, which are common in sanitary engineering, put together. No special creative activity is required for this.
the molded foam bath support consists of a peripheral wall 1, which merges into a floor 2.
the trough 3 thus formed serves to accommodate a bathtub.
a recess 4 is provided for receiving a drain fitting.
At the foot end of the tub support is in the wall section 5 an outlet connecting pipe 6 is arranged. It is connected to the drain connection 7 of a tub overflow and has at the upper end cross tubes 8 and 9, of which the cross tube 8 has an inlet end 10 in the wall section 5 and an inlet end 11 in the wall section 12 and the cross tube 9 an inlet end 13 in the wall section 5 and a Has inlet end 14 in the wall section 15.
the inlet ends that are not required can be sealed with sealing plugs.
the lower end of the drain connection pipe 7 projects into the recess 4 and is designed as a siphon 16 with bellows sections 17. It goes without saying that the tub drain fitting must have a connection for the drain connection pipe 6 or the siphon 16.
the drain connection pipe 6 is provided with spacers 18, which only have the task of holding the drain connection pipe 6 to be foamed in position in the mold cavity during foaming.
An outlet connection pipe 20 is also provided in the wall section 19 of the bathtub support at the head. This has two inlet ends 21 and 22 and a branch 23 with two inlet ends 24 and 25.
the inlet end 21 is in the wall section 12, the inlet ends 21 and 24 are in the wall section 19 and the inlet end 25 is provided in the wall section 15. Inlet ends that are not required can be closed with plugs.
the drain connection pipe 20 is guided below the bottom 2. Since the inlet ends 21, 22, 24, 25 are also below the level of the bottom 2, a non-return valve 26 is arranged in the outlet connection pipe 20 so that when the bathing water runs out, it does not penetrate through the outlet connection pipe 20 into the connected washing machine.
the drain end is also designed as a siphon 27 with bellows sections 28. However, it can also be connectable directly to the tub drain fitting or to the siphon 16 without a siphon 27. In this embodiment, it is expedient that the siphon 16 or 27 is only attached when the bathtub support is being installed, since there is generally only one need and therefore only one needs to be supplied, which is then connected to the corresponding drain connection pipe 6 or 20 is connected.
Fig. 3 it is a shower tray support with peripheral wall 31 which merges into a floor 32, whereby a trough 33 is formed for receiving a shower tray.
a trough 33 is formed for receiving a shower tray.
the bottom 32 there is a recess 34 for the drain fitting intended.
a commercially available, flat concealed siphon is foamed in as the outlet connecting pipe 36, the inlet end 37 of which opens in the wall section 35 to the outside.
a hose connector 38 is inserted into the inlet end 37.
the drain end 39 protrudes into the recess 34 and still requires a connecting piece for connection to the tub drain fitting equipped with a corresponding connection.
the shower tray support also has a circumferential wall 41 which merges into a floor 42, so that a trough 43 is formed for receiving the shower tray.
a recess 44 is provided in the bottom 42 for receiving a bath drain fitting.
a tube cross 45 is foamed beneath the base 42, the ends of which extend into recesses 50, 51, 52 and 53 provided in the wall sections 46, 47, 48 and 49.
a connecting arm 58 also leads from the tube cross 45 into the recess 44 in order to be able to connect this system to the bath drain fitting.
the recesses 50, 51, 52 and 53 are designed for receiving a commercially available flush-mounted siphon 54 as a further part of the drain system, in such a way that undercuts 55 create a clamping effect.
the siphon 54 has an inlet end 56 and an outlet end 57.
the installer By arranging a recess 50, 51, 52 and 53 in each of the wall sections 46, 47, 48 and 49, the installer always has the option with regard to the position of the sewage pipes on the building side and the intended position of the washing machine, the siphon 54 in the to place the most conveniently located wall sections 46, 47, 48 or 49.
the drain end 57 of the drain connection pipe or siphon 54 is designed such that it fits sealingly into each of the similar ends of the tube cross 45.
the ends of the tube cross 45 that are not required can be closed by plugs. It also applies here that the assembly of the pipe system from suitable standard pieces is a purely professional measure.
FIG. 7 shows a cover 71 for covering the siphon 54 shown in the recess 50 in FIG. 4. This cover 71 is pushed into the recess 50, possibly with gluing.
FIGS. 4 to 6 shows a filling piece 81, of which three pieces are assigned to the tub support according to FIGS. 4 to 6, in order to fill those recesses 51, 52 and 53 in which no siphon 54 is arranged.
