DE6946059U - SHOWER SCREEN FOR BUILT-IN BATHTUBS. - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a shower wall for built-in bathtubs, consisting of a parallel to the free one Tub edge to be arranged splash wall, which is composed of two rertikal standing sections of different widths, the wider one from the Spritzvandeb ne is pivoted out on the narrower one.

Such shower ends are made of solid material, for example glass, plastic or the like, or in Sandwich construction made of two thin disks with a grid intermediate lap as a spacing element, which it the two » Windows glued or welded «, is. The outside edges

the discs are then held by a U-shaped metal frame held together, possibly glued. This construction is very complex and leads because of the relative heavy weight to difficulty in attaching the entire shower screen to the bathroom wall and 7, u difficulties in the joints of the pivoting part.

It is therefore the object of the invention to create a shower screen of the type described above which, although it has the same stability as the known ones, is significantly lighter and can be produced at lower costs.

The solution takes place according to the invention in such a way that at least the pivotable section consists of two thin-walled, framelessly firmly connected to one another along their edges profiled discs. These panes can preferably be welded or glued to one another This increases the stability of the panes already given by the profiling the stability of the bulkhead occurs. It can therefore be compared to the flat disks previously used much thinner discs can be used, which leads to material and weight savings. In addition,

the metal frame falls, which also leads to cost and weight savings.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It demonstrate:

In Figure 1, a built-in tub 10 is shown over

end the front of which a shower wall rises vertically, the from a narrow section rigidly attached to the wall 11 and a wider section 12, the narrow section runs parallel to the front free tub edge 10a and slightly opposite its outer edge is set back. The section 11 is vertical and is screwed to the bathroom wall by holder 13. the Holders 13 span the entire width of the section and act as hinges at their end facing away from the wall 13a, by means of which the broad? Section 12 is angeltnkt so that it is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis.

Figures 2 and 3 show a possible embodiment of the pivotable portion 12 i cross section and in plan view. The surrounding edges of the Both panes 12a and 12b are glued or welded to one another along their edges, whereby the entire arrangement experiences a further increase in stability beyond the rigidity already required by the profiling of the panes.

Of course, the fixed section can also consist of disks profiled in this way, although there is also a special need for this.
