Description

The invention relates to a shower partition with at least one Door element and a wall opposite, from at least two parts existing partition, with at least one part facing the other part is movable.

These are in bathrooms with a bath and a shower For reasons of space, the bathtub and the shower tray are usually in the immediate vicinity Combination with each other. Between the shower base and the bathtub a partition is provided as part of a shower partition, which either is permanently installed on or next to the bathtub.

If the partition next to the bathtub is permanently installed, there is Disadvantage that bad between the partition and the bathtub can be cleaned. If the partition is permanently installed on the bathtub, must be sealed between the partition and the bathtub, what looks ugly because the sealing is done by hand. The partition can also due to the height difference between shower tray and Bathtub can only be made to measure and installed.

Another variant is known from DE 295 17 574 U1, in which the Partition is swiveled inwards to the shower and a Has length dimension in which its lower edge with a The top edge of the wall, like the top edge of the bathtub, overlaps. adversely it is that not in every construction situation (construction) such pivotable partition can be used.

DE 296 03 820 U1 describes a carrier system with splash protection for Showers known. The partitions described here Shower facilities are designed as a splash guard and are each  executed in several parts and to each other via telescopic Carrier bars slidable. Due to this movability of the Sections to each other are always inaccessible for cleaning Jobs created.

But it is desirable in a hygienic area, such as. B. one Bathroom, hard-to-reach places (e.g. next to a bathtub or Equipment such as washing machines etc.) for the purpose of cleaning to make it accessible.

As a rule, fixed, immovable partitions are created always any edges and corners in or on which there is dirt can accumulate or form mold. In such situations, a special construction.

The object of the present invention is therefore a Imagine shower enclosure that allows such areas to be able to keep it in a hygienically perfect condition at all times. Special measurements and associated increased manufacturing costs are said to can be avoided by the invention.

According to the features of claim 1, this object is achieved in that that at least one partition wall part in the installed state compared to the fixed partition part is fully extendable horizontally, the Lower edge of the fixed part has a profile (a), in which the with a Guide rail provided upper edge of the extendable part is guided and provide the bottom edge of the extendable part with a finishing profile is, the leadership of the lower edge of the extendable part with a lower guide profile. The fixed used in the usual way Partition is therefore divided approximately in the lower third, with the lower part can be pulled out at any time when the partition is installed.  

This allows the area between the partition and the bathtub or other adjacent areas can be cleaned easily. The Guide profile can for example be designed as an H-profile. Advantageous developments of the invention are in claims 2 and 3 contain.

The lower guide profile consists of a special feature a plastic profile, which is a double-sided adhesive bond, is preferably arranged at the edge of the shower base. This Leadership profile is z. B. with double-sided adhesive tape, silicone etc. glued on, the profile is advantageously a plastic profile, which so is designed so that it is only the guide of the lower part of the Partition takes over and in its form the cleaning of the corresponding area is not hindered.

According to a further feature of the invention, one is applied Partition construction preferred, i. H. the partition is not using a so-called combination profile combined to the shower door, but on the Shower door construction attached. This will reduce the manufacturing costs significantly reduced.

The invention is exemplified below with the help of the drawing illustrated figures explained in more detail. Show it:

Fig. 1: the partition ( 4 ) in the installed state with the door element ( 1 ) open;

Fig. 2: the partition ( 4 ) in the installed state with the door element ( 1 ) open and the extended part ( 4 ");

Fig. 3: Front view of the lower edge of the partition ( 4 ) with end profile (c) and lower guide profile (b, b1), in which the extractable part ( 4 ") is guided, in a sectional view;

Fig. 4: partition ( 4 ), combined with the parts ( 4 ', 4 ") and combination profile ( 5 ) to the shower door ( 1 );

Fig. 5: partition ( 4 ) with the parts ( 4 ', 4 ") as a partition attached to the shower door structure;

Fig. 6: Front view of the lower edge of the part ( 4 ') with profile (a), in which the upper edge of the part ( 4 ") provided with a slide rail (a1) is guided, in a sectional view.

The lower part ( 4 ") is assembled in the assembled state with part ( 4 ') and assembled in a conventional manner. After assembly, the part ( 4 "), which was locked in the factory with part ( 4 '), is released and is in it Extendable. Incorrect installation is therefore excluded.

The extractable part is made by mechanical locking, magnetic Forces or other common locking mechanisms in closed Condition kept.

The pull-out part is preferably inserted by Slide. Plastic gliders and / or rails can be used for this Of course, a roller mechanism can also be used (Plastic rollers or ball bearings) can be used.

Claims (3)

1. Shower partition with at least one door element and a partition opposite one wall and consisting of at least two parts, at least one part being displaceable relative to the other part, characterized in that at least one partition part ( 4 ") in the installed state relative to the fixed partition part ( 4 ') is completely extendable horizontally, the lower edge of the part ( 4 ') having a profile (a) in which the upper edge of the part ( 4 ") provided with a slide rail (a1) is guided and the lower edge of the part ( 4th ") is provided with an end profile (c), the lower edge of the extendable part ( 4 ") being guided with a lower guide profile (b, b1). 2. Shower partition according to claim 1, characterized in that the lower guide profile (b, b1) consists of a plastic profile (b) which is arranged on the shower base ( 2 ) via a double-sided adhesive bond (b1). 3. Shower partition according to one of the above claims, characterized in that the partition ( 4 ) with the parts ( 4 ', 4 ") is placed on the shower door construction.
