Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sanitary facility for a confined shower area and constituting sanitary furniture. Furthermore, this utility model relates to a main functional module for a confined shower area and a secondary functional module for constituting sanitary furniture. Background Technology

[0002] Sanitary facilities are used in the design of bathrooms and include space-dividing elements, such as shower partitions made of glass or brick space-dividing elements. Sanitary furniture is fixed to such space-dividing elements, for example as shown in EP 3705009 A1.

[0003] Bathrooms are getting larger, and so are shower areas. Walk-in showers are commonly used. A walk-in shower is a floor-standing shower enclosure separated from the rest of the bathroom by a shower partition. As bathrooms tend to increase in size, the space required for walk-in showers also increases, necessitating larger shower partitions. These partitions are often partially tiled, requiring a bricklayer in addition to the plumber. Conversely, if glass panels or other materials are used to partition the shower area, their size presents unique challenges for transport and installation. Modern bathroom shower partitions typically measure 2 x 2 meters.

[0004] Furthermore, it is desirable to further enhance the comfort of the shower area and bathroom by installing sanitary furniture that is accessible from the shower area or on the room-side side of the shower area. This typically requires a sophisticated installation system that attempts to mount small shelves within the shower enclosure. Alternatively, separate furniture pieces can be placed in the vicinity of the room-side shower area to allow that area to be comfortably used for other functions.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a sanitary facility of the type mentioned at the beginning, which simplifies the transport and installation of shower enclosures while simultaneously enhancing bathroom comfort through sanitary furniture and allowing for personalized, on-demand design. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention is formed in this respect, with the aim of providing a customizable sanitary facility for a confined shower area and for constituting sanitary furniture, the sanitary facility achieving simplified transportation, simple installation and optimized space utilization.

[0007] This utility model achieves the aforementioned objective through a sanitary facility according to this utility model, a main functional module for constituting a shower partition according to this utility model, and a secondary functional module for constituting sanitary furniture according to this utility model.

[0008] Regarding the first aspect of this utility model, the object mentioned at the beginning is achieved by a sanitary facility of the type mentioned at the beginning, the sanitary facility comprising: at least one retaining rail, wherein the retaining rail extends vertically along a longitudinal axis in the installed state; at least one main functional module, which is at least configured to divide a shower area; and at least one secondary functional module, which is at least configured to constitute sanitary furniture. The main functional module engages with a section of the retaining rail along its longitudinal extension, wherein the main functional module has: a main functional module side on the shower area side; an opposite main functional module side on the room side; a main functional module height extending parallel to the longitudinal extension in the installed state, the height of the main functional module being less than the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail; and two opposite main functional module end sides extending orthogonally to the height of the main functional module. The secondary functional module engages with a section of the retaining rail along its longitudinal extension. The secondary functional module has: a secondary functional module side on the shower area side; an opposite secondary functional module side on the room side; a secondary functional module height extending parallel to the longitudinal extension in the installed state, the height of the secondary functional module being less than the longitudinal extension; and two opposite secondary functional module end sides extending orthogonally to the longitudinal extension. At least one first main functional module end face is at least indirectly abutted against the end face of the first functional module. This provides a modular sanitary facility functionally integrated for both separating a shower area and providing sanitary furniture. Because the first main functional module end face is at least indirectly abutted against the end face of the first functional module, the main functional modules and secondary functional modules form a closed, i.e., continuous and uninterrupted surface on the shower area side, which divides the shower area relative to the room. To form a continuous surface, the first main functional module end face is preferably abutted against the end face of the first functional module such that the side face of the main functional module on the shower area side and the side face of the secondary functional module on the shower area side are flush with each other, i.e., extending towards each other without steps. Alternatively or supplementarily, the side face of the main functional module on the room side and the side face of the secondary functional module on the room side are also flush with each other, i.e., extending towards each other without steps.

[0009] The main functional module and the secondary functional module are held in place by retaining rails, thus being spatially fixed as part of the sanitary facility in the installation state. Here, the main functional module and the secondary functional module are installed stacked vertically and engaged with the retaining rails in the installation state. Therefore, the section of the retaining rail that engages with the main functional module along its longitudinal extension differs from the section of the retaining rail that engages with the secondary functional module along its longitudinal extension.

[0010] Therefore, the main functional module and secondary functional module, held together by the retaining rail, jointly form a shower partition. This shower partition has laterally divided modules for easier installation and transport, and simultaneously, at least the secondary functional module constitutes sanitary furniture, allowing for functional integration beyond simply separating the shower area. Thus, existing space can be used optimally, and comfort in the bathroom, especially in the shower area, is enhanced through the composition of the sanitary furniture. Furthermore, by constructing the sanitary furniture at the secondary functional modules that engage with the retaining rail, simple installation is ensured, eliminating the need to drill holes in the bathroom walls or, where possible, glass panels to separate the shower area.

[0011] Improvements to this invention are given below, which, within the scope of the stated objective, improve the concept of this invention in terms of advantageous features and other benefits.

[0012] Preferably, the first main functional module end face is sealed against the first functional module end face. This aids in the formation of a continuous surface on the shower area side and ensures its sealing. Preferably, a seal is provided between the first main functional module end face and the first functional module end face, the seal extending completely along both ends. In this case, the first main functional module end face indirectly abuts against the first functional module end face, with a seal between the end faces establishing a sealing contact. Preferably, a seal is provided between the second main functional module end face and the second functional module end face, the seal extending completely along both ends. In this case, the second main functional module end face indirectly abuts against the second functional module end face, with a seal between the end faces establishing a sealing contact. That is, a visually continuous surface is formed. The seal here forms a sealing portion, which preferably extends completely along the end side of the corresponding main functional module and the end side of the corresponding secondary functional module.

[0013] The sealing portion is preferably covered by a section of the main or secondary functional module on the shower area side and / or the room side. The sealing portion is particularly covered on the shower area side and / or the room side by a protrusion extending along the end sides of the first main functional module and the first secondary functional module. This protrusion is configured such that the side surfaces of the main functional module on the shower area side and the side surfaces of the secondary functional module on the shower area side are flush with each other, i.e., they extend towards each other without steps.

[0014] Preferably, the sanitary furniture is fixedly positioned at a defined location on the secondary functional module. The sanitary furniture composed of secondary functional modules thus forms a fixed and spatially defined component of the sanitary facility, rather than simply a bathroom accessory that can be fixed to the secondary functional module via a mounting mechanism such as a hook, or a movable hook guided in a track. However, the sanitary furniture composed of secondary functional modules can change position relative to the main functional module, together with the secondary functional module, allowing the sanitary facility to be designed according to needs. For example, two main functional modules can be provided, with the secondary functional module housed between them.

[0015] More preferably, the main functional module end and the secondary functional module end have a uniform width, which extends orthogonally to the longitudinal extension. Because the main functional module end and the secondary functional module end have a uniform width, the sanitary facility as a whole also has a uniform width extending orthogonally to the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment, the main functional module has a main groove extending along its width on the first main functional module end side, while the secondary functional module has a secondary tenon extending along its width on the secondary functional module end side. Therefore, in the installed state, the main groove on the first main functional module end side abuts against the secondary tenon on the first functional module end side. Alternatively, the main functional module preferably has a main tenon extending along its width on the first main functional module end side, while the secondary functional module has a secondary groove extending along its width on the first functional module end side. Here, because the first main functional module end side abuts against the first functional module end side, the main tenon and the secondary groove also abut against each other in the installed state. The groove-tenon system here forms a suitable and particularly gapless installation of the main and secondary functional modules, eliminating the need for a fixed track between them. It is also preferred that a seal is provided between the main groove and the secondary tenon. Furthermore, it is preferable that a seal is provided between the main tenon and the secondary groove. Therefore, the transition portion of the functional modules is sealed.

[0017] When the main functional module has a main tenon at the first main functional module end, the main functional module preferably includes a main groove extending along the width at the second main functional module end. Therefore, the main groove and the main tenon are formed at opposite ends of the main functional module. When the secondary functional module has a secondary groove at the first functional module end, the secondary functional module preferably has a secondary tenon extending along the width at the second functional module end. Therefore, the secondary groove and the secondary tenon are also provided at opposite ends of the secondary functional module. It is therefore feasible to alternately stack the main functional modules and secondary functional modules, wherein the main groove engages with the secondary tenon and the main tenon engages with the secondary groove, respectively.

[0018] When a main functional module has a main groove at its first main functional module end, the main functional module preferably has a main tenon extending along its width at its second main functional module end, and the secondary functional module having a secondary tenon at its first functional module end, preferably has a secondary groove extending along its width at its second functional module end. Therefore, the main functional modules each have a main groove and a main tenon, and the secondary functional modules each have a secondary groove and a secondary tenon. Thus, the groove and tenon can be alternately arranged at the lower end of the respective main functional module and secondary functional module in the installed state, and engage with the main tenon of the adjacent main functional module or secondary functional module located at the upper end in the installed state.

[0019] Preferably, the main tenon and the secondary groove are configured and can be joined to each other, such that a receiving space is formed between the main tenon and the secondary groove, and at least two opposing sealing surfaces are formed on the shower area side. Alternatively or additionally, the main groove and the secondary tenon are configured and can be joined to each other, such that a receiving space is formed between the main groove and the secondary tenon, and at least two opposing sealing surfaces are formed on the shower area side. The receiving space is configured to receive the base of the seal, and the opposing sealing surfaces are configured to receive the sealing lip of the seal. Preferably, the base of the seal is also configured to elastically deform by engaging the corresponding tenon and groove, such that the base completely fills the receiving space. Preferably, the receiving space is formed here between the mating surface at the distal end of the tenon and the middle section of the groove with respect to the depth direction of the functional module. Here, the mating surface presses the base into the groove, such that the formed receiving space is filled as completely as possible. At the same time, at least one sealing lip is placed between the two opposing surfaces on the shower area side of the tenon-groove connection, such that a visually invisible seal is achieved between the main functional module and the secondary functional module on the shower area side. It should be understood here that, with the help of the corresponding tenon-groove joint and the seals contained therein, the main functional modules or sub-functional modules can also be connected to each other in a sealed manner.

[0020] Preferably, the main functional module is a wall module, which is configured solely for separating the shower area. Therefore, the wall module has no function other than separating the shower area. More preferably, the secondary functional module is a sanitary furniture module, which is configured to constitute sanitary furniture. It should be understood that the sanitary furniture module (in addition to constituting sanitary furniture) ensures the separation of the shower area by being adjacent to the main functional module. The sanitary furniture constructed from the sanitary furniture module can be placed on the room side and / or the shower area side.

[0021] According to an alternative, preferred embodiment, the main functional module and the secondary functional module are configured as a combination of sanitary furniture and wall modules, which are respectively configured to separate the shower area and partially constitute the sanitary furniture. In other words, one of the combination of sanitary furniture and wall modules is not sufficient to constitute a complete sanitary furniture; at least two combination of sanitary furniture and wall modules arranged adjacent to each other are required to jointly constitute a complete sanitary furniture. Therefore, for example, the main functional module, which is located at the bottom in the installed state and is configured as a combination of sanitary furniture and wall modules, can constitute the lower part of the storage compartment, while the secondary functional module, which is located above it in the installed state and is also configured as a combination of sanitary furniture and wall modules, can constitute the upper part of the storage compartment, so that the main functional module and the secondary functional module together constitute a complete storage compartment, which has a lower boundary wall, two side walls, and an upper boundary wall. Therefore, the size of each functional module can be reduced without unduly restricting the size of the sanitary furniture.

[0022] Preferably, the sanitary facility includes at least two main functional modules, particularly wall modules, each extending at least one-quarter, particularly at least one-third, of the longitudinal extension. Therefore, the main functional modules ensure the separation of the shower area within a sufficiently large area along the longitudinal extension. This guarantees adequate splash protection.

[0023] Preferably, at least one wall module is positioned below the sanitary furniture module in the installed state and / or at least one wall module is positioned above the sanitary furniture module in the installed state. Therefore, the sanitary furniture module engages with the retaining rail in a region tending towards the center along the longitudinal extension, making the sanitary furniture easily accessible and preventing it from being positioned too high or too low.

[0024] Preferably, the secondary functional module on the shower area side includes one, more, or all of the following: a shelf, at least one section of a wall-mounted storage compartment, a mirror, or a seat. In the context of this invention, "wall-mounted" means that the storage compartment is inserted into the wall, i.e., extends from the wall surface into the wall and is flush with the wall.

[0025] Preferably, the secondary functional module further includes a heating element. In this case, the secondary functional module does not directly constitute a piece of furniture, but rather a functional element. In this case, the secondary functional module with the heating element is an electrical functional module, which, in addition to separating the shower area, at least fulfills the heating function. Furthermore, the main functional module can also have a heating element, thereby constituting an electrical functional module.

[0026] Currently, wall-mounted storage compartments are understood as storage compartments flush with the wall, that is, extending from the side into the wall. Typically, such storage compartments can only be bricked up, provided this is permissible in terms of building conditions. Shower area seats are also typically bricked up and tiled, allowing this invention to also integrate the seat as a simplified piece of sanitary furniture. Through corresponding sub-functional modules, this sanitary furniture can be easily integrated into the shower area without structural changes and is provided on the side of the sub-functional module on the shower area side.

[0027] More preferably, the secondary functional module includes one, more, or all of the following on the side of the room: a washbasin, towel rack, mirror, seat, cabinet, or at least a section or shelf of a wall-mounted storage compartment. Therefore, sanitary furniture, such as a washbasin or towel rack, does not need to be installed on the wall, i.e., in the masonry, but can be provided in the secondary functional module via sanitary facilities. Thus, the installation time of sanitary facilities can be reduced in bathroom design.

[0028] Preferably, the wall-mounted storage compartment on the shower side, formed at the secondary functional module, has an entry opening formed in the side of the secondary functional module on the shower area side, a rear wall spaced apart from the entry opening on the side of the secondary functional module facing the room side, and a frame surface extending from the rear wall to the entry opening. Alternatively or additionally, the wall-mounted storage compartment on the room side has an entry opening formed in the side of the secondary functional module on the room side, a rear wall spaced apart from the entry opening on the side of the secondary functional module facing the shower area side, and a frame surface extending from the rear wall to the entry opening.

[0029] More preferably, the wall-mounted storage compartment has a lighting mechanism fixed to the rear wall or frame surface. Therefore, the storage compartment is also illuminated, further enhancing comfort through improved lighting conditions.

[0030] Preferably, the wall-mounted storage compartment on the shower area side forms a molded section on the room side, which is configured to form a shelf and / or have a towel rack. Therefore, the protrusions of the wall-mounted molded section along with the storage compartment on the sides opposite to the access opening are fully utilized so as to also function as bathroom furniture. Here, the molded section forms additional storage space as a shelf and / or can alternatively or supplementarily serve as a towel rack fixed to the molded section.

[0031] Preferably, the retaining rail is a first retaining rail and the sanitary facility has a second retaining rail, wherein the first and second retaining rails have a spacing that at least corresponds to the width and is configured to accommodate the main functional module and the secondary functional module therebetween. Optionally, additional main functional modules or secondary functional modules can be accommodated between the retaining rails. Thus, the main functional module and the secondary functional module engage with the first and second retaining rails at opposite edges, respectively. Therefore, the main functional module and the secondary functional module are supported more evenly by these two retaining rails. Furthermore, the edge areas of the main functional module and the secondary functional module are protected by the first and second retaining rails from the influence of media, etc.

[0032] The main functional modules and / or secondary functional modules are preferably at least partially made of at least one of the following materials: mineral castings, glass, polymers, especially acrylic glass. Glass and polymers such as acrylic glass are translucent, thus ensuring better lighting conditions in the shower area. Conversely, mineral castings have the advantage that the mineral castings do not need to be peeled off after showering to remove unwanted limescale visible on the glass. More preferably, at least two main functional modules and / or the main functional modules and / or at least two secondary functional modules are made of different materials. The sanitary facility combines different materials together in a modular fashion, with the materials forming a continuous surface at least on the shower area side. Therefore, it is possible to place the main functional modules made of glass in the upper area of ​​the sanitary facility and the main functional modules made of mineral castings in the splash-prone lower area of ​​the sanitary facility, thereby reducing cleaning costs while ensuring sufficient light penetration.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment, the retaining rail extends orthogonally along the depth direction to the longitudinal extensions of the main functional module and the secondary functional module, and its width ranges from 30 mm to 100 mm. Here, the main functional module is a first main functional module and the secondary functional module is a first primary functional module. The sanitary facility here also includes at least one of the following functional modules that engage with the retaining rail: a second main functional module, which is spaced apart from the first main functional module along the depth direction and has a main functional module height corresponding to the first main functional module; a second main functional module, which is spaced apart from the first functional module along the depth direction and has a main functional module height corresponding to the first functional module; a second functional module, which is spaced apart from the first main functional module along the depth direction and has a secondary functional module height corresponding to the first main functional module; or a second functional module, which is spaced apart from the first functional module along the depth direction and has a secondary functional module height corresponding to the first functional module. Therefore, there are always two functional modules adjacent to each other along the depth direction, i.e., arranged side by side and engaging with the retaining rail. Therefore, functional modules are provided on the room side and on the shower area side, respectively, and they have corresponding heights, which are therefore substantially the same. Therefore, a cavity is provided between two main or secondary functional modules arranged side by side, in which mounting interfaces, cable channels or hydraulic lines can be hidden.

[0034] Preferably, the operating elements and / or control devices for the shower are provided at the retaining rail. Therefore, the retaining rail not only engages with and holds the main and secondary functional modules in place, but also serves as a central operating interface allowing the user to operate the shower, such as the shower head, or operate the control devices via the operating elements. The operating element for the control device is preferably a touch panel, which is preferably housed in a recess in the retaining strip. Preferably, the touch panel has a transparent plate made of glass or acrylic glass, configured to seal the inner cavity of the retaining strip. The retaining strip is preferably connected to and / or has a control device. Preferably, at least one circuit board is disposed in the retaining strip or a component directly connected to the retaining strip.

[0035] More preferably, the retaining rail extends in the depth direction within the range of 30mm to 100mm, wherein the side of the main functional module on the shower area side has a maximum distance of 100mm from the side of the main functional module on the room side, and / or the side of the secondary functional module on the shower area side has a maximum distance of 100mm from the side of the secondary functional module on the room side. Therefore, the main and secondary functional modules as a whole can be constructed deeper and have a functional module depth corresponding to the depth of the retaining rail. Consequently, the partition of the shower area provided by the sanitary facility is generally thicker and tends to more closely resemble the characteristics of a brick wall.

[0036] More preferably, the main functional module has a main functional module receiving portion extending entirely along its height, which is centrally located relative to its width and configured to accommodate a retaining rail. The main functional module receiving portion engages, in particular, with the retaining rail section. Alternatively or additionally, each sub-functional module includes a sub-functional module receiving portion extending entirely along its height, which is centrally located relative to its width and configured to accommodate a retaining rail, particularly engaging with the retaining rail section. This central arrangement eliminates the need for a separate retaining rail, while still ensuring stable fixation of the functional module at the retaining rail. Furthermore, the central arrangement of the retaining rail advantageously allows for the placement of operating elements, particularly sanitary operating elements for showers or electrical operating elements for electrical control devices.

[0037] Preferably, the retaining rail, especially when it is centrally located, is equipped with a shower, particularly a shower head. The retaining rail preferably has a section along its depth direction, thus being horizontal in the installed state, at which the shower, particularly the shower head, is located.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment, the sub-functional module has an electrical inlet contact in a region of its receiving portion, configured to engage with a corresponding electrical outlet contact of the retaining rail in the sub-section to guide current under low voltage conditions. According to an alternative embodiment, the sub-functional module has an electrical inlet contact in a contact region with a first and / or second retaining rail, configured to engage with a corresponding electrical outlet contact of the retaining rail to guide current under low voltage conditions. In both embodiments, the inlet and outlet contacts are preferably plug contacts. Therefore, an electrical connection is also provided in the region of the mechanical connection between the sub-functional module and the retaining rail. Preferably, the sub-functional module has a sealed cable guide with at least one current cable that is electrically engaged with the outlet contact of the retaining rail via the inlet contact. Here, the retaining rail is preferably connectable to a low-voltage terminal in a wall or ceiling. Preferably, the cable guide in the sub-functional module is preferably at least partially implemented through a drilled hole or elongated recess, the cable guide extending to a wall portion of the sub-functional module where a power consumer is connected. Preferably, the power consumer is an LED lighting device or heating element for the wall-mounted storage compartment.

[0039] The retaining rail preferably has one or more sealed cable guides, each having at least one current cable, through which an outlet contact is connected to a low-voltage terminal.

[0040] In a second aspect, this invention achieves the aforementioned objective through a main functional module for sanitary facilities, particularly for sanitary facilities according to the first aspect of this invention. The main functional module is at least configured to separate a shower area and to engage with a section along the longitudinal extension of a retaining rail that extends vertically along its longitudinal extension in the installed state. In the installed state, the main functional module has: a side panel of the main functional module on the shower area side; an opposite side panel of the main functional module on the room side; a height of the main functional module that extends vertically in the installed state, particularly parallel to the longitudinal extension, the height of which is particularly smaller than the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail; and two opposite end panels of the main functional module that extend orthogonally to the height of the main functional module. Through the corresponding main functional modules, this invention, according to the second aspect, possesses the advantages described at the beginning in conjunction with the first aspect of this invention regarding the main functional module. The lateral division of the main functional module along its end panels allows it to engage only with sections along the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail, resulting in a smaller overall size of the main functional module, thereby simplifying installation and transportation.

[0041] More preferably, the main functional module is a wall module, which is configured only to separate the shower area. Alternatively, the main functional module is configured as a combination of sanitary furniture and a wall module, which are configured to separate the shower area and constitute at least one section of the sanitary furniture. Therefore, the main functional modules each fulfill the function of separating the shower area, and functional integration is optionally achieved by additionally constructing sanitary furniture. By simultaneously constructing sanitary furniture, additional installation work that would otherwise be required to fix the sanitary furniture to the remaining spatial structure, especially the room walls, is eliminated.

[0042] The present invention achieves the aforementioned objective in a third aspect through a sub-functional module for sanitary facilities, particularly for sanitary facilities according to the first aspect of the present invention. The sub-functional module is configured at least to form sanitary furniture and further to engage with a section along the longitudinal extension of a retaining rail that extends vertically along the longitudinal extension in the installed state. The sub-functional module has: a side of the sub-functional module on the shower area side; an opposite side of the sub-functional module on the room side; a height of the sub-functional module extending vertically and particularly parallel to the longitudinal extension in the installed state, the height of which is particularly smaller than the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail; and two opposite end sides of the sub-functional module extending orthogonally to the longitudinal extension. The corresponding sub-functional module for the sanitary facility possesses the advantages described at the beginning regarding the first aspect of the present invention by constituting sanitary furniture from modular sub-functional modules that can be easily engaged with the retaining rail. The preferred embodiments and advantages described with respect to the first aspect of the present invention are also preferred embodiments and advantages according to the third aspect of the present invention, and vice versa. The corresponding sub-functional module particularly simplifies installation and eliminates installation steps related to the spatial structure of the bathroom, particularly the wall masonry. Furthermore, the modular and sub-functional modules are laterally divided along the end side, allowing the sub-functional modules to engage only with the longitudinally extending sections of the retaining rail, thus simplifying the installation and transportation of sanitary facilities.

[0043] Preferably, the secondary functional module is a sanitary furniture module configured to constitute sanitary furniture. Alternatively, the secondary functional module is a modular sanitary furniture and wall module configured to separate a shower area and to constitute at least one section of the sanitary furniture.

[0044] The present invention achieves the aforementioned objective in a fourth aspect by a method for installing sanitary facilities, particularly sanitary facilities according to the first aspect of the present invention. The method comprises the following steps: - bringing at least one retaining rail into an installation state, wherein the retaining rail extends vertically along a longitudinal extension;

[0045] - Engage at least one main functional module with at least one segment of the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail, wherein the main functional module is configured to separate a shower area and has: a main functional module side on the shower area side; an opposite main functional module side on the room side; a main functional module height extending parallel to the longitudinal extension in the installed state, the main functional module height being less than the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail; and two opposite main functional module end sides extending orthogonally to the main functional module height.

[0046] - Engage at least one secondary functional module with at least one segment of the longitudinal extension of the retaining rail, wherein the secondary functional module is configured to constitute sanitary furniture and has: a secondary functional module side on the shower area side; an opposing, room-side secondary functional module side; a secondary functional module height parallel to the longitudinal extension in the installed state, said secondary functional module height being less than the longitudinal extension; and two opposing secondary functional module end sides orthogonal to the longitudinal extension; and

[0047] - Ensure that at least one first main functional module end is at least indirectly attached to one first functional module end.

[0048] By providing corresponding main functional modules and secondary functional modules, the method according to the fourth aspect of this utility model possesses the advantages mentioned at the beginning of the first aspect of this utility model. The advantages and preferred embodiments of the first aspect of this utility model are also the advantages and preferred embodiments of the fourth aspect of this utility model.

[0049] The present invention achieves the aforementioned objective in its fifth aspect through a sanitary facility, particularly a sanitary facility according to the first aspect of the present invention, for providing a shower area and sanitary furniture. By using the corresponding sanitary facility, the present invention acquires the advantages described at the beginning regarding the first aspect of the present invention. The advantages and preferred embodiments according to the first aspect of the present invention are also the advantages and preferred embodiments according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, and vice versa.

[0065] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A first embodiment of a sanitary facility 1 is shown, the sanitary facility having a retaining rail 10, at least one main functional module 20, and at least one secondary functional module 30. Currently, the sanitary facility 1 includes a first retaining rail 10.1 and a second retaining rail 10.2. The first main functional module 20.1 and the second main functional module 20.2 are housed between and engage with the first and second retaining rails 10.1 and 10.2. The secondary functional module 30 is disposed between the first main functional module 20.1 and the second main functional module 20.2 and similarly engages with the first and second retaining rails 10.1 and 10.2.
