Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed for carrying and supporting bath tubs, in particular made of a plastics material.
  • bath tubs which are made of plastics materials, more specifically acrylic materials.
  • the mentioned bath tubs have the advantage, with respect to the conventional ones, of being remarkably lighter and easier to handle, of great resistance to impacts and nearly underformable.
  • the task of the present invention is that of obviating the thereinabove mentioned drawbacks, by providing such a bed for carrying and supporting plastics material bath tubs which affords the possibility of greatly simplifying the operations related to the installing of the bath tub, in particular without requiring any masonry operations.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a bed of the mentioned type which is effective to stiffen the bath tub, thereby saving materials for making the plastics bath tub.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a bed for carrying and supporting bath tubs which affords the possibility of making a complete installation without the necessity of carrying out masonry operations or works, even with respect to the side coating steps of said beth tub.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a bed for carrying and supporting bath tubs which, due to its constructional features, is able of offering great reliability and use safety characteristics.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a bed for carrying and supporting bath tubs, which may be made in a simple way while being greatly competitive from a mere economic stand point.
  • a bed for carrying and supporting bath tubs in particular plastics material bath tubs, characterized in that it comprises a shaped body provided, at the top thereof, with a seat or housing effective to be coupled to at least a portion of the bottom of said bath tub, and effective to define at the bottom at least a zone to be carried on the bath room floor, stiffening ribs being moreover provided on said shaped body.
  • the bed for carrying and supporting bath tubs, in particular plastics material bath tubs comprises a shaped body, indicated overally by the reference number 1, which is advantageously made of a plastics material.
  • That shaped body 1 of stackable type is provided, on the top thereof, with a seat or housing 2 and forms. practically, a containing element, effective to be coupled to the inner surface of a bath tub, indicated by a dashed line, and by the reference number 3.
  • the shaped boy 1 of this embodiment is provided, at the top thereof, with a perimetrical edge 4, of substantially flat shape, horizontally laying, coupled to a side edge 5 which practically encompasses all the bed, and defines the side surfaces whereof.
  • the shaped body 1 is moreover provided, on its surface, and, in particular, at the region therein said seat 2 is formed, with ribs 6, suitably distributed, effective to act as stiffening elements for the body 1 itself.
  • the ribs 6 are distributed according to lines longitudinally extending with respect to the bath tub, and with said ribs 6 transversal ribs 16 being associated with continue at the side edges 5.
  • the ribs 6, as longitudinally arranged, define an element for resting on the bath room floor or on the sub-floor block, and allow for the bed 1 to be installed by simply carrying out a glueing operation.
  • the bath tub 3 is inserted into the seat or housing 2 and may be held therein, by means of glueing, or without the need of further glueing operations.
  • a main feature of the present invention consists of the fact that the coatings may be realized by panels 8, to be applied at the side edges 5 and effective to be affixed to the bath room floor and bath tub 3, without carrying out any further coupling operations, since the obtained fixed joints afford the possibility of completing the installation without using any screws.
  • the panels 8 have an already finished outer surface, thereby obviating the need of carrying out further finishing works.
  • this carrying and supporting bed comprises a shaped body, indicated at 10, provided, at the top whereof, with a seat or housing, indicated at 11, which is open at the rear thereof.
  • the shaped body 10 has a less height than the conventional height of a bath tub, thereby it may be engaged only at the lower or bottom portion of the bath tub corresponding surface, thereby providing a coupling and resting housing for said tub.
  • the shaped body 10 is provided, on the periphery thereof, with a perimetrical edge 12 which provides an effective element for resting the bath tub on the bath room floor, in cooperation with ribs 13 mainly longitudinally extending in the body 10.
  • a flattened zone 14 therein may be obtained the passage for the discharging duct.
  • the bed 2 is advantageously effective to be glued on the bath room floor, and the bath tub may be applied either by glueing it or not to the bed.
  • the bed according to the invention may be stacked and is reinforced, in the inside ribs, by means of small blocks of thermoformed plastics materials.
  • a carrying and supporting bed which is effective to greatly simplify all of the installing and mounting steps of a plastics material bath tub 3 since, in addition to practically providing a resting cradle for the bath tub itself, it provides a member which, while containing said tub, is effective to further stiffen it, thereby improving remarkably the undeformability characteristics of the bath tub, even in the case therein the latter is made with a reduced thickness.
  • a further main advantage of the invention is that the bed according to the invention provides a wide resting zone 12 on the bath room floor 19, thereby facilitating all of the operations necessary for obtaining a perfect flatness of the installation.
