Description

The invention relates to a swing door for shower cabin with Hinges, which are indirectly attached to a solid wall, in particular attached to a building wall and with regard to building tolerance and the like is adjustable in that a on the wall attachable holding profile is provided, relative to which a counter profile adjustable, adjustable and fixable to fit is pushed in or pushed over on which the one carrying the door Hinge is attached.

Such swing doors for shower cubicles are in different Execution known. As a rule, each is one individual hinge on a wall or a support profile or egg attached to a counter profile and must be adjusted accordingly the, that is, the assembly of such a swing door and their Hinges are expensive.

An example of such an arrangement is from DE 39 01 395 C2 known. Not only is the hinge itself multi-part, but the door needs a cutout in which the  Hinge straps can intervene. Accordingly arise Special features when sealing the closed door.

From DE 92 02 441 U1 a swing door for shower cabin with hinges is known, in which a fixed side part is attached to a fixed wall, which in turn with a support rod is connected to which the hinges for the actual swing door are attached.

Subsequent adjustment is not provided and not possible, so that during assembly accurate measurement and precise mounting of the support rod is required.

There is therefore the task of swinging the entrance to create mentioned type with a hinge arrangement, at which an adjustment and adjustment to building tolerances or Dimensional deviations are possible without the door off cuts needed, while the assembly of the share kidney and the door should be simplified.

The solution to this problem is that between the Ge gene profile and the hinge-side edge of the door an about there is provided a support rod running over the height of the door, the one in the area of the hinges inside each Hinge bolts and an interruption for storing the the hinged hinge band connected that this Support rod only by means of a dome that engages at its ends tion pieces on the holding profile and / or the counter profile Stigt and that the coupling pieces each protruding Fork or a support bar, which on the support profile or counter profile attacks and by at least one transverse to Clamping screw running at the level of the closed door is definable.

For the assembly of the door and its hinges, that is sufficient Attaching the support rod with the coupling pieces without the door cutouts needed for the hinge straps. Since the the coupling rod holding the coupling rod on the adjustable Profiles are attached, the adjustment of the results Doors in a very simple way by adjusting them accordingly of the two profiles against each other. The continuous support bar advantageously results in a matching one Bracket for several hinges distributed in height Doors that are prepared accordingly on this support rod Attack places so that each hinge assembly  are not necessary. By attaching the support rod with With the help of the coupling pieces, the hinges for the Doors fixed and no longer need to be assembled and to be adjusted.

It is useful for a good seal in a shower cubicle moderate if the support rod in the use position on the Adjustment movements adjustable counter profile is sealed or fits tightly.

So that the counter profile together with the coupling pieces and so that the support rod easily, for example, across Holding profile can be adjusted and adjusted, it is appropriate moderate if the holding profile in the area of the clamping screw for the coupling piece in the direction of adjustment of the counter profile and thus the handrail with an elongated hole Width that corresponds to the diameter of the clamping screw or surpasses it. This results in any setting possibilities possibilities between retaining profile and counter profile and still can the clamping screw push through the holding profile and at for example be fixed on both sides of him and so the ge exert the desired clamping force.

The counter thread for the clamping screw in one of the Holding leg of the fork of the coupling piece can be arranged which surrounds the holding profile on the outside. If the clamp screw tightened against the thread, it follows that the Leg of the fork of the coupling piece through which they cross penetrating clamping screw elastically deformed towards each other be so that the desired clamping force for fixing the Coupling piece and thus ent of the support rod and the door stands. However, one could also generate the clamping force separate nut can be attached to the thread of the retaining screw his.  

In the area of contact between compensation or counter profile and Support rod can be arranged a seal, in particular connected to the counter profile or to the support rod is preferably stored in a retaining groove. Thus it results the desired seal along the continuous Support rod opposite to that which they hold over the coupling piece Profiles.

The counter profile can be in the area of the clamping screw of the dome a length oriented in its direction of adjustment have a hole for the passage of the clamping screw. On the one hand can do this when adjusting the profiles against each other and thus the door opposite the fixed wall should be functional and to which is also a subsequent adjustment between Handrail and counter profile possible to move between the two or the pressure against a seal in between to be able to vary by force.

The hinge strap can be a catch to interact with a Locking opening on the counter profile for fixing the swing door especially in the closed position. This is no problem possible because the support rod in the area of the hinges already mentioned interruption, so that there is the hinge tied with the counter profile in sealing or touch contact is coming.

It is useful if the hinge strap is fork-shaped is formed and a bend in the region of the support rod has an outer cross-sectional contour that the Corresponds to the support rod and the support rod in its cutout continues flush for the hinge. The two legs the bend connecting the hinge fork thus sets in this Pass the handlebar away.  

A structurally simple solution can consist in that the Coupling pieces engaging on the end faces of the support rod Have holding flanges, with which they over the support rod or reach under and of which the fork is in use position protrudes approximately in the horizontal direction. Thus, the Coupling pieces - if possible by pre-assembly simply designed support rods can be attached. Yet the coupling forces can well on the ends of the support rod transferred and introduced into the vertical support rod.

For a good transmission of the holding forces of the coupling piece it is also useful if the legs of the clutch piece in the direction of extension of the support rod a larger Have expansion than on the front of the support rod attacking holding flanges of the coupling piece are thick. The Legs that belong to the fork of the coupling piece or they form or - in the case of a single leg - this individual Legs therefore overlap a certain height of the holding profile namely with the upper coupling piece in the use position below the area of the retaining flange and in the lower part attached coupling part above the holding flange. This gives enough space for that Attaching the clamping screw and leads to a stable Connection of the profiles, the coupling piece and the Support rod. Advantageously, practically enough two parts each, namely the coupling piece and the Clamping screw to connect the profiles to the support rod, that means the assembly is very easy and quick feasible. Since there are no cutouts in the hinge area needed, the door can also be compared to the Support rod are sealed.

It should also be mentioned that the one engaging in the support rod Hinge pin with the holding flange of the respective coupling  piece connected, for example in one piece or welded, but in particular can be releasably attached to it. This he also facilitates the assembly of this bolt, which then additionally can still be fixed relative to the support rod, so that this may even have a continuous central opening that continues where the hinge pin not enough anymore. If necessary, even the one hinge pin extends in one piece to the other put.

A reduction of the individual parts results if the Couplings and / or the flanges with the ends of the support rod are integrally connected. Nevertheless, the front remains received part of a favorable introduction of weight forces. Overall, there is a hinge arrangement on one Swing door for a shower cubicle that is easy to assemble is, the adjustment option via two complementary, wall-side profiles is produced, on which simple Couplings a support rod for hinge and door so be is consolidated that the adjustment movements accordingly over will wear. Since the support bar is continuous and two - or more if necessary - hinges along their course holds, a single assembly of the individual hinges is not necessary and their mutual adjustment.

Below is an embodiment of the invention based on the drawing described in more detail. It shows in part schema tized representation:

Fig. 6a1 to Fig. 6f in a schematic representation of the assembly steps for attaching a holding profile, a Gegenprofi les, the support rod and the door, Fig. 6f schematically shows in partial cross-section the end result according to Fig. 4.

A hinged door for shower cubicles, designated as a whole by 1 , is attached by means of hinges 2 indirectly to a fixed wall, in particular to a building wall, this being indicated by corresponding fastening screws 3 . In order to compensate for construction tolerances or other dimensional deviations and to be able to adjust the position of the pivoting door 1 , a holding profile 4 , which can be attached to the wall in the exemplary embodiment with the aid of the fastening screws 3 , is provided, relative to which a counter profile 5 is adjustable, adjustable and securely fit is inserted.

In Fig. 6a1 and Fig. 6a2 can be seen the holding profile 4 at its attachment by means of the retaining screw 3. In Fig. 6b is indicated schematically as shaped U-into the holding profile 4 between the legs of the counter-profile 5 is inserted, which in accordance with Fig. 6c and 6d can be inserted to different depths to construction tolerances compensate and to perform adjustments. The depth of engagement of this counter profile 5 in the holding profile 4 can vary over the height of the door and the length of the profiles, for example, to be able to take into account an inclined wall from top to bottom.

Between the counter-profile 5 and the hinge-side edge 6 of the door 1 , a support rod 7 is provided which extends approximately over the height of the door 1 and is essentially continuous from bottom to top, but in the area of the hinges 2 there is an interruption 8 for the storage of the Swing door 1 verbun which hinge strap 9 and in each case has a hinge pin 10 inside. In Fig. 2 you can clearly see this arrangement, wherein in the interruption 8 between the hinge band 9 and the two sides of the interruption 8 Tei len the support rod 7 slide rings or sealing rings 11 are inserted. To attach the support rod 7 are at their Stirnsei th, that is, both at the upper and at the lower end, angrei fende, overall designated 12 coupling pieces hen, which are also attached to the holding profile 4 and at the same time the counter profile 5 . This arrangement can be seen especially with simultaneous consideration of FIGS. 2 to 4 and Fig. 6f. The coupling pieces 12 6f are shown in FIG. 3 and 1 each have a forehead side of the supporting rod 7 below or cross flange 13 and a projecting therefrom fork 14 with two parallel legs 15 which ge in the position of use Mäss Fig. 4 and Fig., The Grip the holding profile 4 on the outside.

If the counter profile had an inner groove or the like, a coupling piece 12 could also be provided with only one retaining web, which could engage in the profile arrangement and be fastened there.

The coupling pieces 12 are shown in Fig 3, 4 and 6f by a transverse to the door plane of the closed door 1 clamping screw 16 can be fixed, which in the vertical direction not only by means of clamping forces, but also is necessary, by shear forces operative in the horizontal direction, however -. Such as still to be described - practically only applies clamping forces so as not to hinder an adjustment in this direction.

To this end, Fig. 2, 4 and 6f have according to the holding profile 4 and the counter-profile 5 in the region of the clamping screw 16 a to himself, thus extending in the horizontal direction oblong hole in the adjustment of the counter-profile 5 and in adjusting 7 towards the retaining rod approximately parallel 17 with a width that speaks about the diameter of the clamping screw 16 ent or exceeds it. Thus, horizontal adjustment movements of the profiles 4 and 5 can be carried out without affecting the continuity for the clamping screw 16 , because with any constellations of the profiles 4 and 5 to each other the overlapping elongated holes 17 each have the passage of the clamping screw 16 for fastening the Allow legs 15 of the coupling piece 12 . Since the legs 15 of the fork 14 of the coupling pieces 12 can be elastically deformed towards one another by the clamping screw 16 passing through them transversely, the desired clamping force can be generated on the holding profile 4 and thus also on the inside of the counter profile 5 by tightening the clamping screw 16 , to achieve the definition of the coupling pieces 12 . Since the elongated holes 17 are limited at the ends, even with a loosening of the clamping force and a corresponding relative movement of the coupling pieces 12 with respect to the holding profile 4, a complete release of the support rod 7 could not occur.

Advantageously, the mating thread for the clamping screw 16 in the exemplary embodiment is arranged in one of the holding legs 15 of the fork 14 of the coupling piece 12 , so that a head 16 a of the clamping screw 16 opposite mut ter for applying the clamping force can be saved. However, it would also be possible for the region of the clamping screw on the thread side to pass through the corresponding holding leg 15 and for a nut to be screwed on the outside. This could be a threaded hole on the corresponding leg 15 in favor of a through hole most avoided.

Referring to FIGS. 6a to 6f, the counter-profile 5 may be Stigt in which Hal teprofil 4 with a transverse clamping screw 18 BEFE. In Fig. 5, however, a more expedient solution is provided, in which the holding profile 4 still has a web 19 in its interior, in which a fastening screw 19 a oriented towards the wall for fixing the Ge gene profile 5 can be screwed in more or less deeply . This allows higher holding forces to be transferred.

In Fig. 2, 5 and 6d can be seen that the support rod 7 is sealed in Ge use position on the Ge by adjusting movements Ge profile 5 , wherein in this contact area a seal 20 is arranged, which in this case is connected to the support rod 7 thereby that it is stored in a retaining groove 21 . But it would also be conceivable to fix this seal 20 to the counter profile 5 . In addition, a further seal 22 is provided on the opposite side of the support rod 7 , with which a gap between the support rod 7 and the door 1 or its hinge-side edge 6 is sealed.

In Fig. 6e can still be seen that the hinge strap 9 has a detent 23 for cooperation with a locking opening 24 on the counter profile 5 in order to detachably fix the swing door 1 in its closed position.

The hinge band 9 is fork-shaped and has in the region of the support rod 7 a bend or sleeve 25 with an outer cross-sectional contour which corresponds to that of the support rod 7 , that is, the support rod 7 in the cutout of the interruption 8 for the hinge 2 continues flush. The catch 23 is also accommodated in this sleeve 25 .

The engaging in the support rod 7 each hinge pin 10 is connected to FIGS . 1 to 3 with the retaining flange 13 of the respective coupling piece 12 and releasably attached thereto. Above all in Fig. 3 it can be seen that the hinge pin 10 can be inserted through a hole 26 in the holding flange 13 and fixed in this with a plug screw 27 . In addition, grub screws or cross pins can engage ring grooves 28 of this hinge pin 10 and fix it with respect to the support rod 7 .

Especially with reference to FIG. 3, but also Fig. 2, it is evident that the legs 15 of the coupling piece 12 in Erstreckungs the support rod 7 in the direction, so have approximately perpendicular to the extension of the flange 13, a greater extension than the holding flanges 13 are fat. Thus, on the front side of the support bar, which is important especially at the lower end face little space Untitled Need Beer for the coupling piece 12, but still fen a sufficiently large clamping surface on the legs 15 geschaf for attachment to the holding section. 4

The cross section of the support rod is expediently round, which is not only elegant, but also the arrangement of the hinges 2 in cutouts 8 of this support rod begins.

With reference to FIG. 6 it is seen that the voltage Anord invention a very simple assembly of a swing door for shower stalls 1 makes with its hinges 2, wherein still a good adjustability is preserved.

According to Fig. 6a1 or 6a2, the holding profile 4 is first fastened in example on a building wall using the screw 3 be. The retaining section 4 according to Fig. 6a2 thereby allows for its part, an adjustment in the lateral direction, since the screw 3 in a longitudinal slot 3a engages.

Subsequently, the counter-profile 5 can be inserted into the interior of the U-shaped holding profile 4 , since the Hal screw 3 is sunk with its head into the U-cross bar of this profile in the holding position. With the help of the clamping screw 18 or a fixing screw 19 a (Fig. 5) 6b and 6c can now this counter-profile 5 according to Fig. Anord in the required voltage with respect to the holding profile 4 are positioned.

Subsequently, the support rod can be connected to this counter-profile 5 is applied (Fig. 6d), and then the door 1 with its hinge 2 with the aid of the coupling pieces 12 are fixed (Fig. 6e and Fig. 6f). The clamping screw 16 can be easily inserted through the slots or slots 17 of the holding profile 4 and counter profile 5 and tightened on their mating thread. So that the entire swing door 1 is already assembled and adjusted. The attachment of the coupling pieces 12 also allows the assembly of the respective hinge pin 10 , so that the hinges 2 are quickly and easily connected to the entire support structure. With relatively few parts, it is therefore easy to mount an adjustable pivot door 1 for showers, which can nevertheless be held well and sealed well in the closed position.

The swing door 1 for a shower cubicle is attached with its hinges ren 2 to a through the height of the door 1 continuous support rod 7 , which in turn with the help of stirnsei tig attacking coupling pieces 12 is attached to a combination of a holding profile 4 with the counter profile 5 Which profiles are adjustable relative to each other so that dimensional deviations and tolerances can be compensated so that the door 1 can also be adjusted. The coupling pieces 12 overlap the lower or the upper end face of the support rod 7 by means of holding flanges 13 , of which corresponding holding forks to connect to the profile arrangement and allow an adaptable connection to the profiles 4 and 5 . The coupling pieces 12 and / or the flanges 13 may optionally also be connected in one piece to the ends of the support rod. This can e.g. B. look so that the fork 14 with the legs 15 extend directly from the respective end regions of the support rod 7 and embrace the holding profiles 4 and 5 .
