Description

La présente invention concerne un écran anti-éclaboussant rigide pour baignoires et bacs de douches.The present invention relates to a rigid splash screen for baths and shower trays.

Les écrans anti-éclaboussants de ce genre qui sont connus actuellement sont constitués par des panneaux verticaux rectangulaires, en verre ou matière plastique, qui s'étendent à la verticale du bord supérieur d'une baignoire ou d'un bac de douches. Ces panneaux qui sont plans sont montés soit fixes soit encore mobiles à pivotement ou à coulissement.Splash screens of this kind which are currently known consist of rectangular vertical panels, made of glass or plastic, which extend vertically from the upper edge of a bathtub or shower tray. These panels which are planar are mounted either fixed or even mobile for pivoting or sliding.

Du fait que ces panneaux plans s'étendent à la verticale du bord d'une baignoire ou d'un bac de douches, ils limitent sensiblement l'espace disponible pour l'utilisateur, ce qui se traduit par une gêne déplaisante quantà.l'amplitude des mouvements possibles. Il risque en effet de se heurter par ses bras, ses jambes ou sa tête contre l'écran en place.Because these flat panels extend vertically from the edge of a bathtub or shower tray, they significantly limit the space available to the user, which results in an unpleasant discomfort as regards. range of motion possible. He may indeed hit his arms, legs or head against the screen in place.

La présente invention vise essentiellement à remédier à cet inconvénient en procurant un écran anti-éclaboussant rigide bon marché à fabriquer, aisé à mettre en place et ménageant un espace accru pour les mouvements de l'utilisateur.The present invention essentially aims to remedy this drawback by providing a rigid anti-splash screen inexpensive to manufacture, easy to set up and providing increased space for the movements of the user.

A cet effet cet écran anti-éclaboussant rigide pour baignoires et bacs de douches, constitué par au moins un panneau s'étendant verticalement à partir du bord supérieur de la baignoire ou du bac de douches, est caractérisé en ce que ce panneau présente, sur une grande partie de sa surface, un alvéole en saillie vers l'extérieur s'étendant sensiblement du bord inférieur au bord supérieur du panneau.For this purpose this rigid splash screen for baths and shower trays, consisting of at least one panel extending vertically from the upper edge of the bath or shower tray, is characterized in that this panel has, on a large part of its surface, a cell projecting outwards extending substantially from the lower edge to the upper edge of the panel.

Suivant une caractéristique complémentaire de l'invention l'alvéole est réalisé de préférence par thermoformage d'une feuille de matière plastique.According to an additional characteristic of the invention, the cell is preferably produced by thermoforming a sheet of plastic material.

Le panneau présentant l'alvéole en saillie vers l'extérieur peut être monté fixe ou encore mobile.The panel presenting the cell projecting outwards can be mounted fixed or even mobile.

Du fait de sa réalisation par thermoformage l'écran suivant l'invention peut être réalisé en éléments normalisés de grande série et d'un prix de revient très réduit.Because of its production by thermoforming, the screen according to the invention can be produced in standard elements of large series and at a very reduced cost price.

On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, diverses formes d'exécution de la présente invention en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale d'un écran anti-éclaboussant rigide monté à l'aplomb du bord supérieur longitudinal d'une baignoire.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en élévation de l'écran de la figure 1.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe horizontale faite suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 1.
  • Les figures 4, 5 et 6 sont des vues en coupe verticale de variantes d'exécution de l'écran anti-éclaboussant rigide suivant l'invention.
  • La figure 7 est une vue en coupe horizontale schématique illustrant un dispositif d'articulation de l'écran.

Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a rigid splash screen mounted directly above the longitudinal upper edge of a bathtub.
  • Figure 2 is an elevational view of the screen of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken along line III-III of Figure 1.
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 are views in vertical section of alternative embodiments of the rigid anti-splash screen according to the invention.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic horizontal sectional view illustrating a hinge device of the screen.
  • Figure 8 is a vertical sectional view of a rigid anti-splash screen mounted directly above an upper edge of a shower tray.
  • Figures 9 to 13 are views in horizontal section of various alternative embodiments of a splash screen for a shower tray.

L'écran anti-éclaboussant représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 comprend un panneau vertical rectangulaire 1 qui est monté à l'aplomb du bord supérieur longitudinal 2 d'une baignoire 3. Ce panneau 1 peut être monté fixe ou bien encore, ainsi qu'il est représenté sur le dessin,coulissant le long du bord 2. A cet effet il est suspendu à une traverse supérieure horizontale 4 sous laquelle il peut être déplacé grâce à la prévision d'organes de roulement ou de glissement appropriés.The anti-splash screen shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a vertical rectangular panel 1 which is mounted directly above the longitudinal upper edge 2 of a bathtub 3. This panel 1 can be mounted fixed or alternatively, as well as 'it is shown in the drawing, sliding along the edge 2. For this purpose it is suspended from a horizontal upper cross member 4 under which it can be moved thanks to the provision of suitable rolling or sliding members.

Suivant l'invention le panneau 1 rigide, qui est de préférence réalisé en matière plastique, présente, sur la presque totalité de sa surface, un alvéole la bombé vers l'extérieur et qui s'étend sensiblement du bord inférieur au bord supérieur du panneau 1.According to the invention the rigid panel 1, which is preferably made of plastic, has, on almost all of its surface, a cell curved outward and which extends substantially from the lower edge to the upper edge of the panel 1.

La prévision de cet alvéole la permet de réserver à l'utilisateur, entre le mur 5 et le panneau 1, une largeur a à mi-hauteur de l'alvéole bombé la qui est nettement supérieure à la distance b qui s'étend entre le mur 5 et les zones marginales planes du panneau 1 qui entourent l'alvéole centrale bombé la, à savoir les zones supérieures lb et inférieure lc et les deux zones latérales ld et le. De ce fait l'utilisateur dispose, pour ses mouvements sous la douche, d'une zone de surface nettement accrue par rapport au cas où l'écran anti-éclaboussant est constitué par un panneau rigide totalement plan.The provision of this cell allows it to reserve for the user, between the wall 5 and the panel 1, a width a at mid-height of the convex cell la which is clearly greater than the distance b which extends between the wall 5 and the flat marginal zones of the panel 1 which surround the domed central cell la, namely the upper zones lb and lower lc and the two lateral zones ld and le. Therefore the user has, for his movements in the shower, a significantly increased surface area compared to the case where the anti-splash screen consists of a completely flat rigid panel.

En élévation l'alvéole la peut avoir toute forme appropriée. Ainsi qu'il apparat! sur la figure 2 sa base, c'est-à-dire le contour par lequel il se raccorde aux faces marginales planes lb, lc, ld, le, peut avoir la forme d'un rectangle à angles arrondis, d'un cercle, d'un polygone etc... L'alvéole la lui-même peut être constitué par une surface sphérique en totalité ou en partie, cylindrique ou de toute autre forme.In elevation the cell la can have any suitable shape. As it appears! in FIG. 2, its base, that is to say the contour by which it is connected to the plane marginal faces lb, lc, ld, le, may have the shape of a rectangle with rounded angles, of a circle, of a polygon, etc. The cell itself may be formed by a spherical surface in whole or in part, cylindrical or any other form.

L'écran anti-éclaboussant 1 peut être utilisé seul ou bien conjointement avec un panneau auxiliaire plan 6 articulé au précédent autour d'un axe vertical 7 de manière à pouvoir être éventuellement rabattu suivant le tracé indiqué en trait mixte sur la figure 3.The anti-splash screen 1 can be used alone or in conjunction with a plane auxiliary panel 6 hinged to the previous one around a vertical axis 7 so as to be able to be folded down optionally along the line indicated in phantom in FIG. 3.

Les figures 4, 5, 6 illustrent, à titre non limitatif,diverses formes que peut prendre par exemple la section droite de l'alvéole dans un plan vertical médian. Dans le cas du panneau 21 représenté sur la figure 4 l'alvéole 21a présente une section droite verticale en forme de trapèze isocèle autrement dit la face délimitant l'alvéole vers l'extérieur est plane et verticale.Figures 4, 5, 6 illustrate, without limitation, various shapes that can take for example the cross section of the cell in a median vertical plane. In the case of the panel 21 shown in Figure 4 the cell 21a has a vertical cross section in the form of an isosceles trapezoid, in other words the face delimiting the cell towards the outside is flat and vertical.

Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée sur la figure 5 le panneau 31 comprend un alvéole 31a en forme de dôme dont la calotte a été supprimée et remplacée par une partie bombée 31b à convexité tournée vers l'intérieur.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, the panel 31 includes a dome-shaped cell 31a, the cap of which has been removed and replaced by a domed part 31b with convexity facing inwards.

Dans le cas de la forme d'exécution représentée sur la figure 6 le panneau 41 comporte un alvéole 41a délimité par une face plane elle-même bordée en haut et en bas par des nervures 41b et 41c en saillie vers l'extérieur.In the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 6 the panel 41 has a cell 41a delimited by a flat face itself bordered at the top and bottom by ribs 41b and 41c projecting outwards.

La figure 7 illustre un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif d'articulation du panneau 1 au-dessus d'une baignoire 3. Le panneau auxiliaire 6 sur lequel est articulé le panneau 1 autour d'un axe vertical 7, est lui-même monté à pivotement autour d'un axe vertical 8 porté par le mur 5. Il s'agit dans ce cas d'une baignoire d'angle et l'axe de pivotement 8 est situé à une distance x du sommet de l'angle qui est sensiblement égale à la largeur du panneau 1. En position de non utilisation le panneau auxiliaire 6 est replié complètement à plat contre le mur 5 et le panneau 1 comportant l'alvéole la est appliqué sur le précédent si bien que l'ensemble présente un encombrement très réduit par rapport au mur. En position d'utilisation le panneau auxiliaire 6 s'étend transversalement au-dessus de la baignoire, ainsi qu'il est indiqué en tirets tandis que le panneau 1 se trouve lui situé au-dessus du bord longitudinal de la baignoire, les deux panneaux 1 et 6 formant alors entre eux un angle droit.FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of a device for articulating the panel 1 above a bathtub 3. The auxiliary panel 6 on which the panel 1 is articulated around a vertical axis 7, is itself pivotally mounted around a vertical axis 8 carried by the wall 5. In this case it is a corner bath and the pivot axis 8 is located at a distance x from the top of the angle which is substantially equal to the width of the panel 1. In the non-use position the auxiliary panel 6 is folded completely flat against the wall 5 and the panel 1 comprising the cell la is applied to the previous one so that the assembly has a very small footprint compared to the wall. In the position of use the auxiliary panel 6 extends transversely above the bath, as indicated in dashes while the panel 1 is located above the longitudinal edge of the bath, the two panels 1 and 6 then forming between them a right angle.

La figure 8 illustre un écran anti-éclaboussant 9 utilisé avec un bac à douches 10. Cet écran anti-éclaboussant 9 est constitué par un panneau de matière plastique rigide thermoformé présentant, sur la plus grande partie de sa surface, un alvéole 9a bombé vers l'extérieur, comme le panneau 1.Figure 8 illustrates a splash screen 9 used with a shower tray 10. This anti-splash screen 9 is constituted by a panel of thermoformed rigid plastic material having, over most of its surface, a cell 9a curved outwards, like panel 1.

Les figures 9 à 13 illustrent divers modes d'utilisation et de montage de l'écran anti-éclaboussant.Figures 9 to 13 illustrate various modes of use and mounting of the splash screen.

Sur la figure 9 l'écran anti-éclaboussant 9 est monté fixe et est perpendiculaire à un ensemble de deux portillons 11, 12 articulés entre eux autour d'un axe vertical 13, le portillon 12 étant lui-même articulé sur le mur autour d'un.axe vertical 14. Ces deux portillons 11, 12 se replient l'un sur l'autre et contre le mur pour donner accès à l'intérieur du bac à douches. Pour assurer un raccordement satisfaisant avec le portillon 11, le panneau 9 est avantageusement pourvu d'un rebord d'équerre 9b contre lequel vient prendre appui le portillon mobile 11 lorsque l'ensemble est fermé.In FIG. 9, the anti-splash screen 9 is mounted fixed and is perpendicular to a set of two gates 11, 12 hinged together around a vertical axis 13, the gate 12 itself being hinged on the wall around 'a vertical axis 14. These two gates 11, 12 fold over one another and against the wall to give access to the interior of the shower tray. To ensure satisfactory connection with the gate 11, the panel 9 is advantageously provided with a square edge 9b against which the movable gate 11 comes to bear when the assembly is closed.

Dans la variante d'exécution illustrée sur la figure 10 le panneau 9 présentant l'alvéole thermoformé 9a est monté fixe et à son extrémité est articulé, autour d'un axe vertical 15, un portillon 16 qui peut être replié vers l'intérieur dans le sens de la flèche sur la figure 10. Ce portillon 16 s'étend sensiblement sur la moitié de la distance entre le panneau fixe 9 et le mur et un autre portillon 17, articulé sur le mur autour d'un axe vertical 18, assure la fermeture de l'autre moitié de cette distance.In the alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 10, the panel 9 presenting the thermoformed cell 9a is mounted fixed and at its end is hinged, around a vertical axis 15, a door 16 which can be folded inwards in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 10. This gate 16 extends substantially over half the distance between the fixed panel 9 and the wall and another gate 17, articulated on the wall around a vertical axis 18, ensures closing the other half of this distance.

Dans la variante d'exécution illustrée sur la figure 11 l'écran anti-éclaboussant est constitué de deux panneaux sensiblement identiques 19 et 20 s'étendant à partir des deux murs formant un angle. L'un des panneaux 20 qui présente un alvéole bombé 20a est monté fixe tandis que l'autre panneau 19, présentant également un alvéole bombé 19a, est articulé sur le mur autour d'un axe vertical 21. A son extrémité mobile il présente un bord d'équerre 19b qui peut venir se plaquer contre la zone marginale externe plane 20b de l'autre panneau fixe 20, assurant ainsi une bonne jonction entre les deux panneaux.In the alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 11, the anti-splash screen consists of two substantially identical panels 19 and 20 extending from the two walls forming an angle. One of the panels 20 which has a curved cell 20a is mounted fixed while the other panel 19, also having a curved cell 19a, is articulated on the wall around a vertical axis 21. At its movable end it has a angle edge 19b which can be pressed against the flat outer marginal zone 20b of the other fixed panel 20, thus ensuring a good junction between the two panels.

Sur la figure 12 est représentée une variante d'exécution de l'écran anti-éclaboussant de la figure 11. Dans ce cas le panneau 19 pourvu de son rebord 19b est fixe tandis que l'autre panneau 20 est monté mobile de manière à pouvoir effectuer un mouvement de rotation l'amenant à venir se plaquer contre le panneau fixe 19, ainsi qu'il est indiqué en trait mixte. Ce mouvement peut être obtenu en prévoyant sur le bord supérieur du panneau 20 deux galets 22, 23 roulant respectivement dans deux glissières à angle droit de manière à assurer le guidage du panneau 20. On a représenté sur la figure 12, en tirets, une position intermédiaire que prend le panneau 20 au cours de ce mouvement.In Figure 12 is shown an alternative embodiment of the anti-splash screen of Figure 11. In this case the panel 19 provided with its flange 19b is fixed while the other panel 20 is mounted movable so as to be able perform a rotational movement causing it to be pressed against the fixed panel 19, as indicated in phantom. This movement can be obtained by planning on the upper edge of the panel 20 two rollers 22, 23 respectively rolling in two slides at right angles so as to guide the panel 20. There is shown in Figure 12, in dashes, an intermediate position that takes the panel 20 during of this movement.

La figure 13 représente une autre variante d'exécution dans laquelle l'écran anti-éclaboussant 24 pour bac de douches 10 est constitué par deux panneaux perpendiculaires 25, 26 sur lesquels sont respectivement formés des alvéoles 25a et 26a. Les deux panneaux 25 et 26 se raccordent par des bords 27 se chevauchant. Les deux panneaux 25 et 26 sont articulés sur le mur respectivement autour d'axes verticaux 28 et 29.FIG. 13 represents another alternative embodiment in which the anti-splash screen 24 for a shower tray 10 is constituted by two perpendicular panels 25, 26 on which cells 25a and 26a are respectively formed. The two panels 25 and 26 are connected by overlapping edges 27. The two panels 25 and 26 are articulated on the wall respectively around vertical axes 28 and 29.
