Abstract

The bath or shower tray has flat base (4) which slopes down to the drain (3). The base, when viewed from the end, is made up of two sections (11, 12) forming an obtuse angle, so that they also slope towards the drain.

Description

The invention relates to a shower or bathtub with an upper peripheral edge, one with a Drain opening provided Bottom and side walls connecting with edge and bottom, wherein in one of the side walls or an overflow opening is provided in the corner area between two side walls.

Known shower trays or bathtubs feature usually floors on that domed are trained. Furthermore, the transitions between the side walls and usually have very large radii on the bottom. all of this leads to, that at these known shower or bath tubs an increased risk of slipping and as a result an increased There is a risk of an accident.

Out DE 41 27 973 C2 is a non-slip floor design of a shower or bathtub is known, in which the bottom surface has troughs which are surrounded by at least three arches and vice versa. This floor design is intended to achieve a hygienically perfect, non-slip floor surface. However, many people find this floor training uncomfortable, and they usually reject the use of a shower or bath mat.

The invention is therefore the object based on a shower or To create a bathtub that is designed to be non-slip and on the other hand no disturbing ones Hollows and / or bulges has on their bottom, the use of a shower or bath mat is not necessary.

This object is achieved by the Features of claim 1 solved.

Appropriate developments of the invention are in the subclaims characterized.

The shower or bathtub according to the invention draws is mainly characterized by the fact that the floor the same is flat and thus a straight tread is available is. Also the lack of the usual huge Radii in the transition area between the side walls and raised the ground the slip resistance, since the small radii of the shower or do not step on the bathtub with your feet can be.

Further advantages of the invention result from the following description based on the invention reproducing and illustrated in the drawings embodiments. It shows

1 a side view of a bathtub according to the invention,

2 a view in the direction of arrow X in 1 without stand and

3 a top view of the bathtub.

The bathtub shown in the figures 1 , as well as a shower tray, not shown, has an upper peripheral edge 2 and consists essentially of one with a drain opening 3 provided floor 4 as well as from edge 2 and floor 4 connecting, usually inclined side walls 5 . 6 . 7 . 8th , the side wall 5 the headboard and the side wall 6 form the foot end and in one of the side walls 5 . 6 . 7 . 8th (preferably sidewall 6 ) or an overflow opening in the corner of the shower tray between two side walls 9 is provided.

Between the side walls 5 . 6 . 7 . 8th and the floor 4 is a substantially perpendicular to the floor 4 narrow wall section running all around 10 provided that over small radii in the ground 4 transforms.

The one to the drain opening 2 slightly inclined floor 4 is essentially flat and has two one-story floor sections 11 . 12 on that in the longitudinal center of the bathtub 1 or form an obtuse angle α in the diagonal of the shower tray.

The slope of the floor 4 and the bottom sections 11 . 12 of the floor 4 to the drain opening 2 there is max. 1%.

Due to the special design of the bathtub 1 (or the shower tray) with the narrow wall section running all around 10 , the flat floor 4 and the very small radii in the transition area between the narrow wall section 10 and floor 4 the slip resistance is significantly increased and thus the risk of accidents is reduced.
