a support surface by means of the adjustable support feet, what an orderly water drainage out of the tubs is important. There is an increasing trend towards the shapes of the shower trays to vary and the wall thickness of the predominantly made of sheet metal or made of plastic molded shower trays.

The invention is based on the object of creating a support frame for shower trays, that can be easily adapted to different shapes of shower trays and a better one Support of the tubs results as previously known support frames.

The object is achieved with a support frame of the type mentioned according to the invention in that it has at least one recess for inserting a central fourth support foot and / or an upper support plate in its central part connecting the three webs to one another.

A support frame designed according to the invention can use less material and thus more easily be designed as previously known support frames, since the central fourth support foot an additional Support of the support frame in the middle results. The central upper support plate, the one in the middle part of the support frame is preferably arranged to be adjustable, results in a central support of the fitted shower tray and, thanks to its adjustment, also allows the support frame to be adapted to different curvatures of the shower tray. This adaptability to different shower tray shapes can also be favored by the fact that the arranged at the free ends of the webs Have support plates at a distance from the top of the webs.

The following is an embodiment of a support frame designed according to the invention explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.
