Dash panel in accordance with claim 1. It further relates to a

Fitting unit comprising a mounting device of the type mentioned, a basic element for a mounting device, a fluid-connecting member, and a method for mounting a fitting unit.

BACKGROUND ART

Built-fixed fittings units for the connection of fluids such as gases or liquids offer the advantage of a great robustness. Especially in the industrial and public and semi-public sectors of these benefits come to

Carry. Thus, without externally accessible movable or manipulatable parts are arranged fittings, for example, in the sanitary sector.

It is desirable for the mounting of such fittings units

simplify. For example, arises when drilling dowel holes lot

Dirt, it is necessary to work carefully and precisely, and existing structures, such as tiles, are irreversibly damaged. US 2005/0044623 proposes a mounting device for a shower panel before, wherein the wall mounting is carried out on the one hand to the existing line connections in the wall, and on the other hand, a suction cup to further support and fixation is used. Thus, a shower panel without holes can be fixed to a wall by means of the device proposed there. Also, the CN 103343557 specifies an instrument unit in which a dash panel is attached to the existing pipe connections in the wall. One drawback, however, is seen in the fact that when the valves units, for example, to pre-existing line connections into a wall

be connected, the height of a fitting is fixed. So it may be that for example, a shower head comes to lie deeper than desired or higher. This goes hand in hand with losses in terms of comfort and efficiency. The same is true for fittings panels with taps,

Mixer taps, sinks, and the like.

The same can be said when, for example gas connections are to be arranged from existing line connections in a wall at an ergonomically and / or operationally favorable position.

The processes known from the prior art fittings units which are mounted on the existing line connections on a wall, that show the drawback of low flexibility with regard to the arrangement of the armatures at a predetermined position of the pipe connections in the wall. So therefore, its own dash panel must to be able to benefit from their advantages accepted the disadvantages mentioned, or for any application to be built.

PRESENTATION OF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS DESCRIPTION will present case described a mounting device for a dash panel which offers advantages in this respect.

In other embodiments of the subject matter described the attachment positions are incrementally set, for example, the array of discrete through openings. made hereafter

Embodiments and mixed forms of both, by a plurality of discrete elongated holes are arranged, for example. This is below and in the

Embodiments described.

The starting position for use of the present article is especially as follows: a dash panel to be attached to a surface, for example to a wall, such that a fitting of the dash panel comes to lie at a defined position. It is at the surface on which the mounting is to take place, a fastening point specified. The surface may for example be a surface of an upright wall and the

Attachment point, a line connection in the wall. The specified

Mounting device now makes it possible the attachment position of

to select the base element of the mounting device so flexible that, when the dash panel by means of corresponding fastening means on

is dash panel and connected to the base member to the mounting device, the armature comes to rest at the desired target position. This has to be able to use the advantage of existing mounting points on the surface, without having to create new attachment points. In particular, takes place at the desired mounting position of a screw connection to the

such that the basic element can be pressed when tightening the screw against the surface and connected to frictionally fastening point of the surface.

By means of the assembly device described here and the further below installation process, it is thus possible for a specific

Dash panel at a fixed predetermined mounting position on a surface and in particular at a fixed predetermined position of a

to mount the lead terminal on the surface such that a desired position of the disposed on the dash panel fittings is achieved. The position of the valves can be flexibly chosen it, but is fixed after assembly. The valves may, for example gas connections, locking members, faucets, shower heads and the like, although this list is by no means to be understood as exhaustive. The assembly can be done without requiring new mounting points in the area to which the dash panel is to be located must be created. This can be found as

Fixing point, in particular a line connection use to which a fitting of the dash panel is to be connected. This makes it possible on the one hand by the fact that on the base member, the at least one

Through hole is performed such that at least two

Attachment positions are provided, and, on the other hand by the fact that the fluid connection element is designed with the pressure surface so that it at the same time, in addition to establishing a fluid communication with the

The orientation of the row and the straight line is in front of it, the direction along which the different fastening positions can be selected. Thereby extending according to a more specific aspect of the

Mounting device, the row or the straight line along a transverse extent or the longitudinal extent of the base member.

In further embodiments, at least two parallel rows of openings are arranged. The pitches of the openings in both rows are in particular identical. This allows flexible use of the fixture even where more than two cable connections are available and should be used. They may be prove to be advantageous if the passage orifices are dimensioned in one of these rows so that a fastening element is received with little clearance in each direction, as explained above, while the through holes are formed in the or the other rows in such a way that in general a bigger game is possible. Thus tolerances in the arrangement of

Cable connections are offset relative to each other. The mounting device may further comprise a connecting sleeve. The connection sleeve mentioned has a first thread that is suitable and intended to be screwed to a pipe connection, such as a building side connecting predetermined wall. the said

Connection sleeve further comprises a second thread, which corresponds with a thread of the fluid-connecting element, such that by means of the second thread of the neck of the fluid connection element with the

EMBODIMENTS

Figure 1 shows an instrument unit 1 which includes a dash panel 10, and a mounting device, said mounting device comprises a base member 20 and a fluid connector element 50th The basic element 20 has a front, which points to the dash panel, and a

opposite rear. This back side has a flat contact surface with which the basic element can be arranged on a wall, not shown, or other surface. At the dash panel 10, a valve is arranged in known per se, in the illustrated example, a recording device 11 for a shower head. continues to be a

arranged nut connection 12, can be guided over the water to the shower head. not shown for reasons of clarity, for the

Skilled in the art, however, readily understandable, there is a connection between the fitting terminal 12 and the fluid connection element 50th

These can be made to likewise known per se, through flexible and particularly pressure-resistant hoses. The fluid-connection element 50 of the

Mounting device includes a hollowed-out connecting piece 52 in which a channel is arranged 51st The bore in the connecting piece is connected which opens into a groove which acts as a fluid distributor in the fluid connection element with a radial bore. The fluid connector element 50 is carried out below in detail. On the neck 52, an external thread is arranged. By means of this external thread, the fluid connection element can be screwed into an unillustrated pipe connection 50th Thus, a fluid, for example, in the illustrated example of a Showerpanel water from which

Line connection flow into the fluid-connection element 50 and, from there, as already described above for fitting connection 12th By screwing the fluid connection element 50 and of the nozzle 52 in a line connection, which is arranged for example in a wall, a pressing surface 53 of the fluid connector element comes on the front of the

Base member 20 to the plant. Upon further tightening of the screw connection between the fluid port member 50 and the pipe connection a force on the basic element is exerted which presses the base member against the wall, not shown, and is fixed there by friction. Although the wall and the line connection are not shown for clarity, is this opens the skilled person. Between the wall and the base member, a device can be arranged at a different position of the basic element still, which is attached by adhesion to the wall, and thus a rotation of the fitting unit about the through the fluid connection element provided fastening point prevents available. The adhesive connection mentioned can be made for example by a suction cup or by gluing. As can be seen, the basic element can be drilled in this way very easily and without dowel holes are attached to a wall. The dash panel 10 is connected by suitable means 13 and 14, and corresponding means 21 and 22 are connected to likewise known per se to the base element. In this way the dash panel on the wall is fixed.

The view of a front side of the base member 20 in the Figure 2 discloses an arrangement of multiple through-holes 23 in a row or along a straight line, wherein the orientation of the row and which extends straight in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the base member. The through holes 23 are arranged with a raster or pitch dimension t. This pitch dimension is constant for all through-holes, is what is not mandatory, but practical. Is through these through-holes as shown in Figure 1, a fastener, so for example a nozzle of a fluid connection element can be guided to fasten the base element, as described in connection with Figure 1, to a wall or other surface. Each of the through holes 23 provides a discrete

Mounting position. The increments of the attachment positions are t through the pitch dimension and wherein predetermined diameter D of the through holes shown, determined by the distance s of opposite edges of the through holes. This spacing s is chosen substantially smaller than the diameter D. The diameter D is selected, for example, in a range of 23 to 25 millimeters. The division value can be for example 30 mm, from which a distance s results of about 6 mm. The distance s in this case is about one-quarter of the diameter of the through holes. These measurements are of course not limiting; the respective mass, in particular the cross-sectional dimensions of the

Through holes can be selected depending on practical and, for example, the outer diameter of the element to be carried out in the individual case.

illustrated mounting device of the type described that enable respectively, pass a neck of a fluid connection element at different positions on the base member through the base member. Figure 3a) shows an embodiment in which a single slot 24 having a longitudinal axis which is at least substantially in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the

Base member 20 extends, and is arranged to cover the entire range of adjustment. Compared to the embodiment shown in Figure 2, this has the advantage that the mounting position along the longitudinal axis of the elongated hole 24 can be continuously and steplessly selected. On the other hand, the base element is only fixed to a surface when the fastener is tightened with a torque at least, such that a

sufficient frictional engagement between the base member 20 and the surface to which it is to be mounted is prepared. Figure 3b) shows an embodiment which is suitable to attach a fitting unit, which requires two line connections, for example for hot water and cold water, or for the supply of different gases. There are 2 sets of

Through holes 25 and 26 are arranged. Here, in a series

disposed slots 25, the longitudinal axes along the orientation of the row, or a straight line on which the slots 25 are arranged, are oriented. In a second series of elongated holes 26 they are transversely to its longitudinal axis and disposed substantially perpendicular to the particular orientation of the row. By one of the long holes 26, the base member may be attached to a first conduction terminal, said lateral displaceability of the basic element is ensured 20, so that tolerances in the lateral

Distance between two line connections can be compensated. By means of a corresponding elongated hole 25 can then connect to the second lead terminal are produced, the shape and arrangement of the

Elongated holes allows to compensate for tolerances in the position of the line connections in the vertical direction.

In the figure 4 an exemplary embodiment of the fluid-connecting element 50 is shown. The fluid-connection element 50 has a first end 65 and a second end face 66th Between the end faces 65 and 66 an axial extension of the fluid-connecting element along a longitudinal axis is 57definiert. On the first end side of the fluid-connecting element comprises a connecting piece 52 which is provided with an external thread 54th Starting from the first end face 65 is not visible first flow passage extends into the present illustration, axially through the nozzle and within the fluid connection element. At one axial end of the sleeve 52 has a radial step is formed which forms with an end face 53 that explained in connection with Figure 1 pressure surface. On the fluid connection element is a circumferential groove 56 is also arranged. At the bottom of the groove is a second, radially extending, channel 55 is arranged which communicates with the first passage, as described below in conjunction with FIG 5 will be explained in more detail. The groove 56 is delimited by two axial limiting walls 58 and 59th Each boundary wall 58 and 59 is disposed on a cylindrical ring 60 and 61 respectively.
