Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sanitary installation for demarcating a shower area and for forming a sanitary furniture unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a primary function module for demarcating a shower area and a secondary function module for forming a sanitary furniture unit, as well as an assembly method.

[0002] Sanitary installations are used to design bathrooms and include room dividers, such as glass shower enclosures or brick partitions. Sanitary furniture is attached to such partitions, as shown, for example, in EP 3705009 A1.

[0003] Bathrooms are getting bigger and bigger, and so are shower areas. So-called walk-in showers are often used. Walk-in showers are floor-level showers that are separated from the rest of the bathroom by a shower partition. Due to the increasing size of bathrooms, the space allocated for walk-in showers is also growing, and ever larger shower partitions are required. These shower partitions are sometimes made of brick, which means that a bricklayer is required in addition to the plumbing installer. However, if glass panes or other sheet material attached to support rails are used to separate the shower area, their size presents particular challenges during transport and installation. Shower partitions in modern bathrooms are often 2 x 2 m in size.

[0004] Furthermore, it is desirable to further increase the comfort of shower areas and bathrooms in general by providing sanitary furniture that is accessible from the shower area or utilizes the side area of ​​the shower area facing the room. This typically requires complex mounting systems that attempt to mount smaller shelves to shower enclosures. Alternatively, separate furniture can be arranged close to the shower area on the room side to conveniently utilize this space for additional functions.

[0005] There is therefore a need to provide a sanitary installation of the type mentioned above, which facilitates the transport and installation of shower enclosures and at the same time increases the comfort of bathrooms through sanitary furniture and allows for individual, needs-based design.

[0006] This is where the invention comes in, the object of which is to provide a customizable sanitary installation for demarcating a shower area and for forming a sanitary furniture, which enables simplified transport, easy assembly and optimized use of space.

[0007] The invention solves the problem mentioned above by a sanitary installation according to claim 1, a primary function module for forming a shower partition according to claim 22 and a secondary function module for forming a sanitary furniture according to claim 25 as well as an assembly method according to claim 28.

[0008] With regard to the first aspect of the invention, the object mentioned at the outset is achieved by a sanitary installation of the type mentioned at the outset with at least one holding rail, wherein the holding rail extends vertically along a longitudinal axis in an assembled state, at least one primary function module which is designed at least to separate a shower area, and at least one secondary function module which is designed at least to form a piece of sanitary furniture.The primary function module engages with a section of the retaining rail along its longitudinal extent, wherein the primary function module has a shower-side primary function module side surface, an opposite room-side primary function module side surface, a primary function module height that runs parallel to the longitudinal extent in the assembled state and is smaller than the longitudinal extent of the retaining rail, and two opposite primary function module end faces that extend orthogonally to the primary function module height. The secondary function module engages with a section of the retaining rail along the longitudinal extent.The secondary function module has a secondary function module side surface facing the shower area, an opposite secondary function module side surface facing the room, a secondary function module height that runs parallel to the longitudinal extent when assembled and is smaller than the longitudinal extent, and two opposite secondary function module end faces that extend orthogonally to the longitudinal extent. At least one first primary function module end face is at least partially in contact with a first secondary function module end face. This provides a modular sanitary installation that is functionally integrated both for separating a shower area and for providing sanitary furniture.Because the first primary function module front side is at least partially in contact with the first secondary function module front side, the primary function module and the secondary function module form a closed surface on the shower area side, which separates the shower area from the room.

[0009] The primary function module and the secondary function module are held in position by the retaining rail and, when assembled, are thus permanently installed as part of the plumbing installation. When assembled, the primary function module and the secondary function module are mounted one above the other and engage with the retaining rail. The section of the retaining rail along the longitudinal extent with which the primary function module engages is therefore different from the section of the retaining rail along the longitudinal extent with which the secondary function module engages.

[0010] The primary function module and the secondary function module, which are held by the support rail, together form a shower enclosure with transversely divided modules, making them easier to install and transport. At the same time, at least the secondary function module forms a sanitary unit, allowing functional integration beyond the separation of the shower area. This allows optimal use of the available space, and comfort in the bathroom, and particularly in the shower area, is increased by the design of the sanitary unit. Furthermore, the design of the sanitary unit on the secondary function module, which engages with the support rail, ensures easy installation, and eliminates the need for drilling holes in bathroom walls or any glass panes to separate the shower area.

[0011] Further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims, which further develop the concept of the invention with regard to advantageous features within the scope of the task and with regard to further advantages.

[0012] Preferably, the sanitary furniture is fixed in a defined position on the secondary function module. The sanitary furniture formed by the secondary function module thus forms a fixed and spatially defined component of the sanitary installation and not merely a bathroom accessory that can be attached to the secondary function module using mounting devices such as hooks or the like, or hooks guided and movable in a rail. However, the sanitary furniture formed by the secondary function module can vary together with the secondary function module in terms of its position relative to the primary function module, thus enabling a needs-based design of the sanitary installation. For example, two primary function modules could be provided, each accommodating the secondary function module between them.

[0013] Further preferably, the primary function module end faces and the secondary function module end faces have a uniform width that extends orthogonally to the longitudinal extent. Because the primary function module end faces and the secondary function module end faces have a uniform width, the sanitary installation as a whole also has a uniform width orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the support rail.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment, the primary function module has a primary groove extending along the width on the first primary function module end face, and the secondary function module has a secondary spring extending along the width on the secondary function module end face. The primary groove on the first primary function module end face thus contacts the secondary spring on the first secondary function module end face in the assembled state. Alternatively, the primary function module preferably has a primary spring extending along the width on the first primary function module end face, and the secondary function module has a secondary groove extending along the width on the first secondary function module end face. The primary spring and the secondary groove also contact each other in the assembled state, since the first primary function module end face contacts the first secondary function module end face.A tongue-and-groove system provides a convenient and, in particular, gap-free assembly of the primary function modules and the secondary function modules, without the need for mounting rails between them. Furthermore, a seal is preferably arranged between the primary groove and the secondary groove. Furthermore, a seal is preferably arranged between the primary groove and the secondary groove. This seals the transition between the function modules.

[0015] If the primary function module has a primary tongue on the first primary function module end face, the primary function module preferably comprises a primary groove extending along the width on a second primary function module end face. Thus, the primary groove and primary tongue are formed on opposite primary function module end faces. If the secondary function module has a secondary groove on the first secondary function module end face, the secondary function module preferably has a secondary tongue extending along the width on a second secondary function module end face. Thus, the secondary groove and secondary tongue are also arranged on opposite secondary function module end faces.It is thus possible to mount the primary function module and the secondary function module alternately one above the other, with a primary groove engaging with a secondary spring and a primary spring engaging with a secondary groove.

[0016] In the event that the primary function module has a primary groove on the first primary function module end face, the primary function module preferably has a primary tongue extending across the width on the second primary function module end face, and the secondary function module, which has a secondary tongue on the first secondary function module end face, preferably has a secondary groove extending across the width on the second secondary function module end face. Thus, the primary function module each has a primary groove and a primary tongue, and the secondary function module each has a secondary groove and a secondary tongue. Grooves and tongues can thus be provided alternately on the end face of the respective primary function module and secondary function module that is lower in the assembled state and can engage with a primary tongue provided on an end face that is upper in the assembled state of the respective adjacent primary function module orsecondary function module.

[0017] Preferably, the primary function module is a wall module designed exclusively to separate a shower area. The wall module therefore has no function beyond separating the shower area. More preferably, the secondary function module is a sanitary furniture module designed to form sanitary furniture. It should be understood that the sanitary furniture module—in addition to forming sanitary furniture—simultaneously separates the shower area due to its arrangement adjacent to the primary function module. The sanitary furniture formed by the sanitary furniture module can be provided on the room side and / or the shower area side.

[0018] According to an alternative preferred embodiment, the primary function module and the secondary function module are designed as combined sanitary furniture and wall modules, each configured to separate a shower area and partially form a sanitary furniture unit. In other words, one of the combined sanitary furniture and wall modules does not yet constitute a sanitary furniture unit; rather, at least two adjacent sanitary furniture and wall modules are required to jointly form a complete sanitary furniture unit.For example, a lower primary function module, which is designed as a combined sanitary furniture and wall module when assembled, can form the lower part of a storage compartment, while the secondary function module arranged above it when assembled, which is also designed as a combined sanitary furniture and wall module, can form the upper part of the storage compartment. The primary function module and secondary function module together form a complete storage compartment with a lower boundary wall, two side walls, and an upper boundary wall. This allows the size of the individual functional modules to be reduced without excessively restricting the size of the sanitary furniture.

[0019] Preferably, the sanitary installation comprises at least two primary function modules, in particular wall modules, each extending at least 1 / 4, in particular at least 1 / 3, of the longitudinal extent. Thus, the primary function modules ensure the separation of the shower area over a sufficiently large area along the longitudinal extent. This ensures adequate protection against splash water.

[0020] Preferably, at least one wall module is arranged below the sanitary furniture module in the assembled state and / or at least one wall module is arranged above the sanitary furniture module in the assembled state. Thus, the sanitary furniture module engages with the retaining rail in a generally central region along its longitudinal extent, and the sanitary furniture is thus easily accessible and not positioned too high or too low.

[0021] Preferably, the secondary function module comprises one, several or all of the following on the shower area-side secondary function module side surface: a shelf, at least a section of a wall-integrated storage compartment, a mirror, or a bench.

[0022] In this context, a wall-integrated storage compartment is understood to be a storage compartment that is flush with the wall, i.e., extends from the side surface into the wall. Such storage compartments can usually only be built with brickwork if the structural conditions permit this. Shower benches are also often built with brickwork and tiled, so the invention also allows for simplified integration of benches as sanitary furniture here. Using a corresponding secondary function module, such sanitary furniture can be easily integrated into the shower area and provided on the side surface of the secondary function module on the shower area side without having to make any structural changes.

[0023] More preferably, the secondary function module comprises one, several, or all of the following on the room-side secondary function module side surface: a washbasin, a towel rail, a mirror, a bench, a cabinet, at least a section of a wall-integrated storage compartment, or a shelf. Thus, sanitary furniture such as washbasins or towel rails do not have to be mounted on a wall, i.e., on the masonry, but can be provided by the sanitary installation on the secondary function module. This can reduce the installation time for sanitary installations when designing bathrooms.

[0024] Preferably, the wall-integrated storage compartment formed on the secondary function module on the shower area side has an access opening formed in the secondary function module side surface on the shower area side, a rear wall spaced from the access opening in the direction of the room-side secondary function module side surface, and a frame surface extending from the rear wall to the access opening. Alternatively or additionally, the room-side wall-integrated storage compartment has an access opening formed in the room-side secondary function module side surface, a rear wall spaced from the access opening in the direction of the shower area-side secondary function module side surface, and a frame surface extending from the rear wall to the access opening.

[0025] Further preferably, the wall-integrated storage compartment has a light source attached to the rear wall or to the frame surface. This further provides illumination of the storage compartment, further enhancing comfort through improved lighting conditions.

[0026] Preferably, the wall-integrated storage compartment on the shower area side forms a recess on the room side that is configured to form a shelf and / or that has a towel holder. The bulge associated with the wall-integrated design of the storage compartment on the side facing away from the access opening is thus utilized to also function as sanitary furniture. The recess either creates additional storage space as a shelf and / or can alternatively or additionally be used as a towel holder attached to the recess.

[0027] Preferably, the support rail is a first support rail and the sanitary installation has a second support rail, wherein the first support rail and the second support rail are spaced at least equal to the width and are configured to accommodate the primary function module and the secondary function module between them. Optionally, further primary function modules or secondary function modules can be accommodated between the support rails. The primary function modules and secondary function modules thus engage with the first support rail and the second support rail at opposite edges. This results in more even support of the primary function modules and secondary function modules by the two support rails. Furthermore, the edge regions of the primary function modules and secondary function modules are protected from media and the like by the first support rail and the second support rail.

[0028] The primary function module is preferably made, at least in sections, from at least one of the following materials: mineral cast, glass, or a polymer, particularly acrylic glass. Glass and polymers, such as acrylic glass, are translucent and thus provide better lighting conditions in the shower area. Mineral cast, on the other hand, has the advantage that it does not need to be removed after showering to remove unwanted water deposits, which are visible with glass.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment, the holding rail extends in a depth direction orthogonal to the longitudinal extent and to the width of the primary function modules and secondary function modules in a range of 30 mm to 100 mm. The primary function module is a first primary function module and the secondary function module is a first secondary function module.The sanitary installation further comprises at least one of the following functional modules engaging with the retaining rail: a second primary functional module which is spaced apart in the depth direction from the first primary functional module and has a primary functional module height corresponding to the first primary functional module, a second primary functional module which is spaced apart in the depth direction from the first secondary functional module and has a primary functional module height corresponding to the first secondary functional module, a second secondary functional module which is spaced apart in the depth direction from the first primary functional module and has a secondary functional module height corresponding to the first primary functional module, or a second secondary functional module which is spaced apart in the depth direction from the first secondary functional module and has a secondary functional module height corresponding to the first secondary functional module.Thus, two functional modules are always arranged adjacent to each other in the depth direction, i.e., next to each other and engaging with the retaining rail. Thus, one functional module is provided on the room side and one on the shower area side, each of which has a corresponding height that is essentially identical. This creates a hollow space between two adjacent primary functional modules or secondary functional modules, in which mounting interfaces, cable ducts, or even hydraulic lines can be concealed.

[0030] It is further preferred that operating elements for a shower fitting and / or a control device are provided on the support rail. Thus, the support rail not only engages with the primary function module and the secondary function module and holds them in position, but also, as a central operating interface with operating elements, allows a user to operate shower fittings, such as shower heads, or to operate a control device.

[0031] More preferably, the retaining rail extends in a depth direction in a range of 30 mm to 100 mm, wherein the shower-side primary function module side surface has a maximum distance of 100 mm from the room-side primary function module side surface and / or the shower-side secondary function module side surface has a maximum distance of 100 mm from the room-side secondary function module side surface. Thus, the primary function modules and secondary function modules can be designed to be deeper overall and have a functional module depth corresponding to the depth of the retaining rail. The partition for a shower area provided by the sanitary installation is thus overall more solid and tends to have the character of a brick wall.

[0032] Further preferably, the primary function module has a primary function module receptacle extending entirely along the height of the primary function module, which is arranged centrally with respect to the width and is configured to receive a section of the retaining rail. The primary function module receptacle is in particular engaged with a section of the retaining rail. Alternatively or additionally, the secondary function module each comprises a secondary function module receptacle extending entirely along the height of the secondary function module, which is arranged centrally with respect to the width and is configured to receive a section of the retaining rail, in particular to engage with a section of the retaining rail. This central arrangement makes it possible to dispense with further retaining rails and nevertheless ensure stable attachment of the function modules to the retaining rail.Furthermore, the central arrangement of the support rails advantageously allows the attachment of operating elements, in particular sanitary operating elements for shower fittings or electrical operating elements for an electrical control device.

[0033] Preferably, the support rail, particularly if it is arranged centrally, has a shower fitting, in particular a shower head. The support rail preferably has a section that extends horizontally in the depth direction and thus, in the installed state, on which the shower fitting, in particular the shower head, is arranged.

[0034] The invention achieves the aforementioned object in a second aspect by means of a primary function module for a sanitary installation, in particular for a sanitary installation according to the first aspect of the invention. The primary function module is configured at least for separating a shower area and is designed to engage with a portion of a retaining rail, which, in an assembled state, extends vertically along a longitudinal extent.In the assembled state, the primary function module has a shower-side primary function module side surface, an opposite room-side primary function module side surface, a primary function module height that runs vertically in the assembled state, and thus in particular parallel to the longitudinal extent, which is in particular smaller than the longitudinal extent of the support rail, and two opposite primary function module end faces that extend orthogonally to the primary function module height. By means of a corresponding primary function module, the invention according to the second aspect adopts the advantages described above with regard to the primary function module in connection with the first aspect of the invention.Due to the transverse division of the primary function module along the end faces, so that it can only be engaged with a section of the retaining rail along the longitudinal extent, the primary function module has smaller dimensions overall and thus enables simplified assembly and transport.

[0035] More preferably, the primary function module is a wall module designed exclusively for separating a shower area. Alternatively, the primary function module is designed as a combined sanitary furniture and wall module designed to separate a shower area and to form at least one section of a sanitary furniture unit. Thus, the primary function module fulfills the function of separating a shower area and optionally enables functional integration by additionally forming a sanitary furniture unit. By simultaneously forming a sanitary furniture unit, further assembly work is eliminated, which would otherwise be necessary for attaching sanitary furniture to the remaining room structure, in particular to room walls.

[0036] The invention achieves the aforementioned object in a third aspect by means of a secondary function module for a sanitary installation, in particular for a sanitary installation according to the first aspect of the invention. The secondary function module is configured at least to form a piece of sanitary furniture and is further configured to be brought into engagement along the longitudinal extent with a portion of a retaining rail extending vertically along a longitudinal extent in an assembled state.The secondary function module has a secondary function module side surface on the shower area side, an opposite secondary function module side surface on the room side, a secondary function module height that is vertical in the assembled state and thus runs particularly parallel to the longitudinal extent, which is particularly smaller than the longitudinal extent of the retaining rail, and two opposite secondary function module end faces that extend orthogonally to the longitudinal extent. A corresponding secondary function module for a sanitary installation takes advantage of the advantages described above with regard to the first aspect of the invention by designing the sanitary furniture with a modular secondary function module that can be easily engaged with a retaining rail.Preferred embodiments and advantages described with reference to the first aspect of the invention are also preferred embodiments and advantages according to the third aspect of the invention, and vice versa. A corresponding secondary function module facilitates assembly in particular and eliminates assembly steps associated with the spatial structure of a bathroom, in particular the masonry. Furthermore, the modularity and the transverse division of the secondary function module along the end faces, such that it only engages with a section along the longitudinal extent of the retaining rail, make the sanitary installation easy to assemble and transport.

[0037] Preferably, the secondary function module is a sanitary furniture module configured to form a piece of sanitary furniture. Alternatively, the secondary function module is a combined sanitary furniture and wall module configured to separate a shower area and to form at least one section of a piece of sanitary furniture.

[0038] The invention solves the aforementioned problem in a fourth aspect by a method for assembling a sanitary installation, in particular a sanitary installation according to the first aspect of the invention. The method comprises the steps: - Bringing at least one retaining rail into an assembled state in which the retaining rail extends vertically along a longitudinal extent, - engaging at least one primary function module with at least a portion of the retaining rail along the longitudinal extent, wherein the primary function module is configured at least to separate a shower area and has a shower area-side primary function module side surface, an opposite room-side primary function module side surface, a primary function module height running parallel to the longitudinal extent in the assembled state, which is smaller than the longitudinal extent of the retaining rail, and two opposite primary function module end faces running orthogonally to the primary function module height, - engaging at least one secondary function module with at least a portion of the retaining rail along the longitudinal extent, wherein the secondary function module is configured at least to form a piece of sanitary furniture and has a shower-side secondary function module side surface, an opposite room-side secondary function module side surface, a secondary function module height running parallel to the longitudinal extent in the assembled state, which is smaller than the longitudinal extent and has two opposite secondary function module end faces extending orthogonally to the longitudinal extent, and - at least partially bringing into contact at least one first primary function module end face with a first secondary function module end face.

[0039] By providing a corresponding primary function module and a secondary function module, the method according to the fourth aspect of the invention avails itself of the advantages mentioned at the beginning with respect to the first aspect of the invention. Advantages and preferred embodiments according to the first aspect of the invention are also advantages and preferred embodiments according to the fourth aspect of the invention.

[0040] The invention solves the aforementioned problem in a fifth aspect by using a sanitary installation, in particular a sanitary installation according to the first aspect of the invention, to provide a shower area and a sanitary furniture according to claim 28. By using a corresponding sanitary installation, the invention incorporates the advantages described above with reference to the first aspect of the invention. Advantages and preferred embodiments according to the first aspect of the invention are also advantages and preferred embodiments according to the fifth aspect of the invention, and vice versa.

[0041] The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying figures, in which: Fig. 1: a sanitary installation according to a preferred embodiment; Fig. 2: a section of the sanitary installation according to Fig. 1 in a sectional view; Fig. 3: a sanitary installation according to a second preferred embodiment; Fig. 4: a sanitary installation according to a third preferred embodiment in a shower area side view; Fig. 5: the sanitary installation according to Fig. 4 in a room-side view Fig. 6a: a first section of the sanitary installation according to Fig. 4; Fig. 6b: a second section of the sanitary installation according to Fig. 4; Fig. 7: a sanitary installation according to a fourth preferred embodiment; Fig. 8a: a sanitary installation according to a fifth preferred embodiment in an exploded view; Fig. 8b: the sanitary installation according to Fig. 8b in a perspective sectional view; Fig. 9: a sanitary installation according to a sixth preferred embodiment; Fig. 10: a method for assembling a sanitary installation according to one of the Fig. 1 to 9.

[0042] Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of a sanitary installation 1 with support rails 10, at least one primary function module 20, and at least one secondary function module 30. In the present case, the sanitary installation 1 comprises a first support rail 10.1 and a second support rail 10.2. A first primary function module 20.1 and a second primary function module 20.2 are accommodated between the first support rail 10.1 and the second support rail 10.2 and engage with the first and second support rails 10.1, 10.2. The secondary function module 30 is arranged between the first primary function module 20.1 and the second primary function module 20.2 and also engages with the first and second support rails 10.1, 10.2.

[0043] The sanitary installation 1 is shown in an assembled state Z, in which the support rails 10.1, 10.2 extend vertically along a longitudinal extension L. The first support rail 10.1 and the second support rail 10.2 run parallel to each other.

[0044] The first primary function module 20.1 is engaged along a first primary section 11.1 of the support rails 10.1, 10.2 along the longitudinal extension L. The second primary function module 20.2 is engaged with a second primary section 11.2 of the support rails 10.1, 10.2. The primary function modules 20.1, 20.2 are configured to form a shower area D (cf. Fig. 2) from the rest of the room R (cf. Fig. 2) to separate.

[0045] The primary function module 20 is embodied as a wall module 21. The wall module 21 is made, for example, of glass 212 or acrylic glass 213.

[0046] The primary function modules 20.1, 20.2 each have a shower area-side primary function module side surface 23 and an opposite, room-side primary function module side surface 24 (cf. Fig. 2). Furthermore, the primary function modules 20.1, 20.2 have a primary function module height 25 in the assembled state Z, which runs parallel to the longitudinal extension L and is smaller than the longitudinal extension L of the support rails 10.1, 10.2. Furthermore, the primary function modules 20.1, 20.2 comprise two opposite primary function module end faces 26, 27 extending orthogonally to the primary function module height 25.

[0047] The secondary function module 30 is configured to form at least one piece of sanitary furniture 32. The secondary function module 30 is configured here as a sanitary furniture module 31. The secondary function module 30 engages along a secondary section 12 of the support rails 10.1, 10.2 along the longitudinal extension L.

[0048] The sanitary furniture 32, which forms the sanitary furniture module 31, is in this case a shower-side shelf 310 and a room-side towel rail 315. The towel rail 315 and the shelf 310 as sanitary furniture 32 are fixedly arranged on the sanitary furniture module 31. They are therefore not arranged to be displaceable in a horizontal or vertical direction, but represent a spatially defined component of the sanitary installation 1 during operation.

[0049] A shelf within the meaning of the invention is a one-piece, flat surface designed to hold objects. Such a shelf extends horizontally in the assembled state Z.

[0050] The secondary function module 30 has a shower area-side secondary function module side surface 33, an opposite room-side secondary function module side surface 34 and a secondary function module height 35 running parallel to the longitudinal extension L in the assembled state Z (cf. Fig. 2), which is smaller than the longitudinal extent L. Furthermore, the secondary function module 30 comprises two opposite secondary function module end faces 36, 37 extending orthogonally to the longitudinal extent L. In the Fig. In the assembled state shown in Figure 2, a first primary function module end face 26 is at least partially in contact with a first secondary function module end face 36, which is opposite in the assembled state Z. In the illustrated embodiment, the end faces 26, 27 are completely in contact with one another.

[0051] The second primary function module 20.2 further has a second primary function module end face 27, which is in contact with a second secondary function module end face 37. The primary function modules 20.1, 20.2 and the secondary function module 30 have a width b orthogonal to the primary function module height 25 and the secondary function module height 35, respectively, which corresponds at least to the distance between the first holding rail 10.1 and the second holding rail 10.2. The width b preferably exceeds the distance a between the first holding rail 10.1 and the second holding rail 10.2, and a first primary function module side edge 28a and a first secondary function module side edge 38a on the side of the first holding rail 10.1 are at least partially received therein. Furthermore, a second primary function module side edge 28b and a second secondary function module side edge 38b engage with the second holding rail 10.2.

[0052] As particularly in Fig. 2, the secondary function module 30 forms a secondary groove 36b, 37b extending along the width b on the first secondary function module end face 36 and the second secondary function module end face 37. The first primary function module 20.1 forms a first primary spring 26a extending along the width b on the first primary function module end face 26, and the second primary function module 20.2 forms a second primary spring 27a on the second primary function module end face 27, which engage with the opposite secondary groove 37b.

[0053] The shelf 310 has a shower-side storage part 3101 with a storage surface 3102. The storage part 3101 engages with mounting means 3104 via a mounting interface 3103. The mounting interface 3103 is designed as a blind hole 3103a that extends into a coupling means 3151 for the shower-side towel holder 315.

[0054] Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the sanitary installation 1. The same or similar components have Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 identical reference numerals and reference is made to the above description of the sanitary installation according to Fig. 1 and only discussed differences.

[0055] The secondary function module 30, designed as a sanitary furniture module 31, has a wall-integrated storage compartment 311 on the shower-side secondary function module side surface 33 and a towel holder 315 on the room-side secondary function module side surface 34.

[0056] The storage compartment 311 has an access opening 3111 formed in the shower area-side secondary function module side surface 33 and a rear wall 3112 spaced from the access opening 3111 in the direction of the room-side secondary function module side surface 34.
