Abstract

The present invention relates to a whirlpool cover, which comprises at least two cover ele-ments and a transmission for pivoting said cover elements, said transmission comprising a pivot in the area of an upper edge of the whirlpool for pivoting the cover elements, said cover elements being adapted to be pivoted about said pivot to a position of rest onto an outer sidewall of the whirlpool.

Claims (15)

1 A foldable whirlpool cover (2) comprising at least two cover elements (3, 4) and a transmission (6) for pivoting the cover elements (3, 4) to a position of rest (8) onto an outer sidewall of the whirlpool (1) and for folding the whirlpool cover (2), wherein .cndot. the transmission (6) comprises a pivot (15) in the area of an upper edge (11) of the whirlpool (1), the cover elements being adapted to be pivoted in common about said pivot (15) to the position of rest (8), .cndot. the whirlpool cover (2) comprises a first, front cover element (3) and a second, rear cover element (4), said second, rear cover element (4) being articulated on said first, front cover element (3) through a hinge (7), and said first, front cover element (3) being articulated on the pivot (15) in the area of the upper edge (11) of the whirlpool (1), .cndot. the second, rear cover element (4) is folded onto the first, front cover element (3) before the cover elements (3 and 4) are being pivoted, so that the cover elements (3 and 4) form a package (9) of folded cover elements, and .cndot. in the open condition of the whirlpool cover (2), the package (9) of folded cover elements is pivoted about the pivot (15) by an angle .phi. onto the sidewall of the whirlpool (1), said angle .phi. being in a range of from 250° to 290°.
2. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 1, characterized in that the whirlpool cover (2) is implemented as a cantilever.
3. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 2, characterized in that the whirlpool cover (2) is raised from an original position before it is folded.
4. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 3, characterized in that the original position is a horizontal position.
5. A whirlpool cover (2) according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the pivot (15) is arranged above and outside of the upper edge (11) of the whirlpool (1).
6. A whirlpool cover (2) according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the transmission comprises a friction clutch so as to initiate the transition between folding and pivoting of the cover elements (3, 4).
7. A whirlpool cover (2) according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the transmission (6) is accommodated in a column (16) which is arranged centrally in front of the outer sidewall of the whirlpool (1).
8.

9. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 8, characterized in that the cover elements (3, 4) comprise an outer surface and an inner surface, the transmission tunnel (17) lying on at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface of the cover elements (3, 4).
10. A whirlpool cover (2) according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that the transmission (6) comprises deflection rollers (12) and conveyor means (13).
11. A whirlpool cover (2) according to claim 10, characterized in that the deflection rollers (12) are pulleys.
