Abstract

Connection devices for connecting a drainage gutter to a further functional element ( 10 ), for example to an inlet box, are known, which comprise an adapter plate ( 20 ) to which the drainage gutter can be connected. In order to ensure simple assembly on the building site in combination with a high degree of tightness, it is proposed to provide a cast-in part ( 40 ) which can be tightly cast into a wall of the functional element ( 10 ) and comprises fastening devices by means of which the adapter plate ( 20 ) can be fixedly connected to the cast-in part ( 40 ) in such a way that a flow space ( 2 ) of the drainage gutter can be tightly connected to an interior of the functional part ( 10 ) via a transfer space.

Claims (8)

1. A connection device for connecting a drainage gutter ( 1 ) to a functional element ( 10 ) comprising an adapter plate ( 20 ) to which a drainage gutter ( 1 ) is connected, wherein an inlet part ( 40 ) is connected on a wall ( 12 ) of the functional element ( 10 ) and which comprises attachment facilities ( 41 , 41 ′; 44 , 44 ′) with which the adapter plate ( 20 ) is attached to the inlet part ( 40 ) such that a flow space ( 2 ) of the drainage gutter ( 1 ) is connected via a transfer space ( 30 ) to an inner space ( 14 ) of the functional part ( 10 ), and the adapter plate ( 20 ) comprises a serration ( 22 ) along two ends of the adapter plate ( 20 ) that contacts and engages with an opposite serration ( 22 ) on the inlet part ( 40 ) to provide adjustability of the adapter plate ( 20 ) in a vertical direction relative to the inlet part ( 40 ), and wherein the adapter plate ( 20 ) comprising a higher seal ( 23 ) and a lower seal ( 24 ) disposed between the inlet part ( 40 ) and the adapter plate ( 20 ) to seal the inlet part ( 40 ) with the adapter plate ( 20 ), the higher seal ( 23 ) and the lower seal ( 24 ) being at different heights for connecting the drainage gutter ( 1 ) at different heights to the adapter plate ( 20 ).

2. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter plate ( 20 ) is attached to the inlet part ( 40 ).

3. The connection device according to claim 2 , wherein the adapter plate ( 20 ) is cut off for adaptation to the drainage gutter ( 1 ).

4. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet part ( 40 ) is provided with a seal ( 23 , 24 ).

5. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet part ( 40 ) is provided with a removable separating wall ( 42 ), the separating wall ( 42 ) being cut out for the complete sealing of the inner space ( 14 ).

6. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet part ( 40 ) or the adapter plate ( 20 ) are provided with locking devices ( 41 , 21 ) for the detachable locking and joining of the adapter plate ( 20 ) with the inlet part ( 40 ).

7. The connection device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the seals ( 23 , 24 ) is removed to increase the height of the transfer space ( 30 ).

8. A system for the connection of drainage gutters ( 1 ) to functional elements ( 10 ), comprising at least one inlet part ( 40 ) cast into a wall ( 12 ) of the functional elements ( 10 ), and at least two adapter plates ( 20 ) so that the drainage gutters ( 1 ) of different heights may be connected fluid-impermeably to the functional elements ( 10 ), wherein the at least two adapter plates comprise a serration ( 22 ) that contacts and engages with an opposite serration ( 22 ) on the at least one inlet part ( 40 ) to provide adjustability of the at least two adapter plates ( 20 ) in a vertical direction relative to the at least one inlet part ( 40 ), the at least two adapter plates ( 20 ) comprising a higher seal ( 23 ) and a lower seal ( 24 ) disposed between the inlet part ( 40 ) and the at least two adapter plates ( 20 ) to seal the at least one inlet part ( 40 ) with the adapter plates ( 20 ), the higher seal ( 23 ) and the lower seal ( 24 ) being at different heights for connecting the drainage gutters ( 1 ) of different heights to the at least two adapter plates ( 20 ).
