  • Publication number: 20240151022
    Abstract: An adapter for a drain device, for installation in a floor panel, and having a receptacle with an upper inlet opening through which waste water can flow into the drain device, and parts which can be connected in a fluidic manner to a drain pipe and the receptacle, so that waste water which has passed through the inlet opening can enter the drain pipe. To improve the sealing function, the adapter has a base part having an inner thread, a first coupling point to the drain pipe, a second coupling point to the receptacle and which couples the receptacle to the drain pipe, a sealing ring that can be installed in the base part to seal the adapter from the drain pipe, and a compression ring with an outer thread compatible to the inner thread of the base part for exerting a compressive force on the sealing ring.

  • Publication number: 20240151023
    Abstract: Drain devices for installation in a shower floor panel usually include a cover. To adjust the position of the cover after a floor covering has been applied, the drain device has an adjusting device with a receptacle for installation in the floor panel with a bearing surface and an inner contour which has an inner diameter, a retainer insertable into the receptacle for an extension element connected to the cover and which is movable in a horizontal direction, and a fixing element which can be attached to the receptacle and which allows the retainer to be moved vertically relative to the fixing element while allowing a play. As a result, the retainer and the cover are still movable after the floor panel has been installed and the cover is precisely adjustable relative to the floor covering after the latter has been applied to the floor panel.

  • Patent number: 11060300
    Abstract: A method and kit for renovating and reconstructing wet rooms, wherein panel modules are attached to a wall, floor, and/or ceiling of the wet room, by providing panel modules having a water-impermeable coating or core; determining an installation position of a panel module; attaching a water-resistant sealing strip section to form an outer contour of the panel module; applying a water resistant sealing adhesive to the sealing strip section such that the sealing adhesive continuously underlays edge regions of two adjacent panel modules; and pressing a first panel module onto a first subregion of the sealing adhesive and a second panel module adjoining the first panel module whereby the two adjacent side regions of the panel modules are completely underlaid with sealing adhesive to produce a seal point between the panel modules to prevent moisture from entering the wall, floor, or ceiling through a joint formed between the panel modules.

  • Publication number: 20200223182
    Abstract: A sheet component in layered construction, having a supporting body bounded by two flat sides and at least one cover ply bonded by a mineral type of adhesive layer to the supporting body on the latter's flat side. The cover ply has an air transmission rate between 6.0 and 21 l/dm2/min in the uninstalled state, while the adhesive layer bonded to the cover ply forms a watertight composite. The composite forms a barrier to the still uncured particles of adhesive and ensures that the air is capable of escaping through the structure of the cover ply not only during the step of laying on the cover ply but also in the early curing process of the adhesive layer.
