Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a terminal box for water installation and of the type indicated in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to an expansion member for use - by way of example - in connection with a terminal box for wall flush mounting for water installation.
  • a rectangular mounting hole is cut the brick wall or concrete wall by means of a cutting tool and a chisel.
  • the rectangular hole is made by cutting two mutually parallel vertical grooves and two mutually horizontal grooves in such a way that the distances between the respective vertical and horizontal grooves determine the width and the height of the hole, Then the central part of the brick wall between the grooves is removed by mean of a chisel and a hammer.
  • a hole with smote sides however the bottom part of the hole is rather rough and uneven, which means that it can be rather difficult to fix the terminal box inside the hole in a correct position.
  • the terminal box according to the invention is characterized in being provided with a number of expansion members, by means of which said terminal box may be fixed in a mounting hole provided in a brick wall or a concrete wall.
  • the terminal box according to the invention may be such adapted, that it is provided with one of said expansion members at opposite sides.
  • the terminal box according to the invention may be such adapted, that it is provided with two of said expansion members at opposite sides.
  • the terminal box according to the invention may furthermore be such adapted, that the expansion members are integrated with said terminal box at opposite sides thereof.
  • each of said expansion members comprises two wedges of similar slope arranged such that the thin end of the wedges overlies, and that both wedges are interconnected by means of a screw available for operation from the front side of the terminal box.
  • the terminal box according to the invention is such adapted, that the outermost of said wedges is provided with a corrugated surface for engagement against an inside of a said mounting hole.
  • the invention also relates to an expansion member for use - by way of example - in connection with a terminal box for wall flush mounting for water installation.
  • the expansion member according to the invention is characterized in; that it comprises two wedges of similar slope arranged such that the thin end of the wedges overlies, and that both wedges are interconnected by means of a screw available for operation from the front side of the outermost wedge.
  • the expansion member according to the invention may be such adapted, that the outermost of said wedges is provided with a corrugated surface for engagement against by way of example an inside of a mounting hole.
  • each wedge having a retaining means preferable in the form of a dovetail rib and groove - as by way of example disclosed in GB-A-2404388 .
  • the retaining means keeps the two wedges together while allowing movement along the line of greatest slope.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment for a mounting hole 2 for a PEX-pipe terminal box (Fig. 3) according to the invention, where the mounting hole is made by means of a groove cutting tool - by way of example an angle grinder.
  • a groove cutting tool - by way of example an angle grinder.
  • two vertical, parallel grooves 4 are cut forming the vertical inside walls 6 of the mounting hole 2
  • two horizontal, parallel grooves 8 are cut to form the height of the mounting hole 2.
  • the brick or concrete material between the vertical grooves 4 and the horizontal grooves 8 forming the horizontal inside walls 10 is removed by means of a chisel and a hammer, whereby the bottom part 12 of the mounting hole 2 becomes rather rough and uneven.
  • a central vertical the groove 14 for the PEX-pipe to be connected to an inlet terminal of the terminal box.
  • Fig, 2 shows a known or prior art terminal box 16. From the outer configuration or shape of this it is easy to understand that may be very difficult or time consuming to get this known terminal box 16 correct positioned for wall flush mounting in a mounting hole like the mounting hole 2.
  • this terminal box 18 is designed for easy fixation in a mounting hole 2 as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the terminal box 18 is at both vertical sides 20 at the corner parties provided with four expansion members 22 being designed to fixation the terminal box 18 alone by engagement with the vertical inside walls 6 of the mounting hole 2.
  • the rough and uneven bottom part 12 of the mounting hole 12 has no importance or meaning at all for the correct and easy fixation of the terminal box 18 inside the mounting hole 2.
  • the terminal box 18 has a lower inlet terminal 24 for an inlet PEX-pipe connection and an outlet terminal 26 for the connection to a valve member or the like of a water installation.
  • the expansion members 22 may be easily operated from a front side 28 of the terminal box 18 by means of a simple screw driver.
  • each of the expansion members 22 comprises two wedges 30 of similar slope arranged such that the thin end of the wedges 30 overlies, and that both wedges 30 are interconnected by means of a through-going screw 32 available for operation from the front side 28 of the terminal box 18.
  • a through-going screw 32 available for operation from the front side 28 of the terminal box 18.
  • the expansion member 22 is connected or integrated with the terminal box 18 by means of a thin, flexible wall part 33 extending between the outermost wedge 30 and the corner part of the front side 28 of the terminal box 18.
  • the loose expansion members 34 may be provided with attachment means for quick and easy connection to the outside walls of a known terminal box similar to that terminal box 16 shown in Fig. 2.
  • Figs. 6-8 show a known terminal box 36 during the fixation/mounting in a mounting hole 38 by means of a pair of loose expansion members 40 according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 6 is shown how existing lateral protruding, horizontal ribs 42 are used for the receiving of an inner part 44 of the expansion member 40 in such a manner, that a forwardly closed, elongate slot 46, provided in an inner edge of said inner part 44, fits on said rib 42, so that said inner part 44 can be placed on said rib 42 and be fixed behind a circular front part 48 of the terminal box 36.
  • said inner part 44 Opposite the elongate slot 46, said inner part 44 has an inclined edge or wedge part 50, along which a loose expansion part 52 may be displaced, as an inner edge part 54 thereof is provided with an elongate slot fitting on said wedge part 50.
  • the expansion part 52 is connected to the inner part 44 by means of a screw 56, which may be operated from the front side of the terminal box 36 (Fig. 7) by means of a screwdriver in order to activate the expansion members 40 by displacement of the expansion part 52 along the wedge part 50.
  • a screw 56 which may be operated from the front side of the terminal box 36 (Fig. 7) by means of a screwdriver in order to activate the expansion members 40 by displacement of the expansion part 52 along the wedge part 50.
  • the expansion part 52 has a corrugated edge surface 58 adapted to engage with an inside, verti-cal wall part of the mounting hole 38.
  • the width of which should be about 70 mm, while the depth of the mounting hole 38 should be about 45 mm.
  • the expansion member according to the invention may utilize any type of expansion system - by way of example the expansion member may consist of an oval or eccentric member being attached to the respective outsides of the terminal box and being adapted to be turned from the front side thereof by means of a tool engaging in a notch or the like.
  • the expansion members may consist of pieces of flexible tube being attached to the opposite outsides of the terminal box and being provided with a cone-shaped member adapted to be forced into said pieces of flexible tube for the fixation of the terminal box against the predominantly vertical inside walls of a mounting hole with said inside walls furthermore being predominantly parallel.
  • expansion principle according to the invention using either loose expansion members 34 or integrated expansion members 22 may be used more generally for the purpose of fixation of other types of boxes, mountings and the like between two predominantly vertical or horizontal sides or surfaces.
