Abstract: A floor construction covered with ceramic tiles, in which a film-like plastic mat having support elements disposed in a uniform area distribution, hollow towards the underside, capable of support, projecting out beyond the top of the mat, is applied on the sub-floor. Channels carrying open water are formed between the support elements, and a water-permeable or vapor-permeable covering in the manner of a non-woven fabric or woven fabric is disposed on the support elements. The plastic mat is embedded and attached, supported in a still soft, hardening thin-bed mortar layer on the sub-floor, over its full area, in the region of its lower contact surfaces. The ceramic tiles are laid and attached on the covering in the manner of a non-woven fabric, directly, with a thin-bed mortar layer.

Abstract: The invention proposes an odor seal for use in or on the drainage channel of sanitary installations or the like, or on the outflow thereof, comprising a housing (101) provided with an inflow, and also comprising a helical inner wall (114) which is arranged on the housing, at a spacing apart therefrom, and forms an annular space (106) with the inner housing wall (113), and this annular space (106) is connected to an upper overflow (115), formed by way of the inner wall (114), into an outflow chamber (106) with an outwardly directed overflow connection (103), the housing (101) being an elongate conduit component which is closed at the ends on both sides and in which the helical inner wall (114) is arranged in the longitudinal direction, at a spacing apart, to form the annular space (105), which is connected to the inflow (102) and/or an inflow chamber (104).

Abstract: The invention relates to a support and/or drainage plate made of a foil-like plastic material, for use with a plate-lined floor structure or a wall so as to create a space between the ground and the surface lining to be applied onto the foil-like plate. The structure of the plate is such that cavities are created by means of, on the one side, projections extending substantially in one direction and, on the other side, raised areas at the same level between which chambers are embodied for receiving a hardening contact medium, such as mortar or adhesive, which forms a contact layer with the surface lining to be applied. According to the invention the structure consists of projections (N1, N2) or (S1, S2) which extend in at least two directions and intersect. The resulting chambers (M1) are delimited in their circumference by the projections (S1, S2), which are open towards the other side of the plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an angular profiled shape (3) designed to be glued to a surface for finishing the edges of set ceramic tiles (5,6) or similar items. Said profiled shape comprises a first perforated leg (31) and a second leg (33) joined to the first leg at an angle. On said second leg distancing means are embodied pointing in the direction of the adjoining ceramic tile (5,6) which determine the visible joint width (B) between the outer leg (35) and said adjoining ceramic tile (5,6). To this end, a chamber open only to one side is embodied, together with the thickened area (34) forming the distancing means (36), at the free end of the leg (35) in the direction of the side of the ceramic tile whose edge is to be finished.
