The invention is therefore based on the object of a simple ssu managing bathtub wrap around that next to the cladding of the tub provides a secure and stable support.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Further Features of the invention are set out in claims 2-6.

With this device according to the invention, the assembly of Bathtubs and shower trays considerably simplified. The tub body can simply be placed in the shell-shaped casing after it has been aligned.

In the case of plastic tubs in particular, the casing can consist of a deep-drawn plastic shell are formed in which the After assembly, the tub is securely supported both on the bottom of the tub and on the edge of the tub.

In the plastic shell, there can advantageously be free spaces for the laying of the drainage pipes, predetermined breaking points to lead through the pipes and fastening screws as well as an inspection opening must be provided.

In order to achieve good heat and / or sound insulation, the cavity between the plastic shell and the tub body be filled with a foam.

Finally, in a preferred embodiment, the plastic shell can be designed to be slightly expanded towards the tub receiving opening so that the individual shells can be nested into packages and stored in a stackable manner.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below. It shows

Figure 3 shows a side section of the plastic shell with the inserted plastic bathtub.

The bathtub unit shown in the figures consists of a plastic tub 2, the visible layer of which is made of acrylic glass consists. The tub 2 is received by a plastic shell 1, the visible surface of which is also made of acrylic glass.

The plastic shell 1 is advantageously manufactured using the deep-drawing process, with a lower step 6 and an inspection opening 4 for the installation of the drain pipe etc. can be established. In the bottom of the plastic shell 1, raised support surfaces 5 for supporting the bottom of the tub 2 are formed. The side walls 3 designed as support elements for the tub rim can in this case in the direction of the tub entry opening be formed slightly expanded, so that on the one hand easy removal of the plastic shell 1 from the deep-drawing mold is ensured and on the other hand, nesting of the individual plastic shells into a package is made possible and thus the plastic trays can be stacked to save space. The installation of the bathtub can be done in the following ways? Wise done: First, the plastic shell 1 is in the intended place set up or aligned in the wet room. Thereafter, the drain pipes, etc. can be installed in the plastic shell 1 and then the tub 2 can then simply be placed in the plastic shell 1. Through the inspection opening 4 Finally, the connection for the drainage line etc. can be made on the tub 2. The bathtub is then ready for use.

To improve the thermal and / or thermal insulation, the cavity created between the plastic shell 1 and the tub body can also be filled with foam. In this way, the stability of the tub 2 can also be increased even further.
