Definitions
- the invention relates to a bathtub with a door or umbrella-shaped shower partition, which is divided into a plurality of interconnected elements and is arranged above the upper edge region of an exposed longitudinal side wall of the tub body and can be pushed or folded or folded.
- Such bathtubs with a shower partition - for example in the form of a sliding door or a foldable splash guard, as in the patent document US-A-1 990 871 are known. They suffer from various defects, which can be attributed to the fact that on the one hand the bathtub and on the other hand the shower partition are made regardless of one another (regularly from different manufacturers) and are only combined with one another at the installation site.
- the aim of the invention is therefore to counter these deficiencies by an integrated design of bathtub and shower partition in order to facilitate showering in the bathtub.
- an approximately vertically upward extending post extending into the exposed longitudinal side wall is fixedly connected to the tub body by means of fastening elements arranged below the upper edge of the tub body and supports the shower partition.
- This post can be attached to the bathtub itself, but it can also be attached to a supporting structure for the actual bathtub. It can also be arranged next to the upper edge of the longitudinal side wall so that the skirt forming the outer wall runs past the inside of the post; the post can also penetrate the top of the bathtub.
- the shower partition preferably consists of two multi-part folding umbrellas that can be folded into packages, which are articulated on the two vertical edges of a strip, the width of which corresponds approximately to the total thickness of both packages, and which in turn is attached to the post so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis.
- a spacious shower cubicle can be separated inside and above the bath body, on the other hand, no bath function of the bath tub is hindered when the shower partition is folded.
- the arrangement can also be such that the post consists of a hollow profile rod, through the interior of which at least one inflow pipe is guided for a shower fitting arranged at the upper end of the post.
- a handle can also be attached to the post. In this way, the post takes on several functions, and additional assembly work on the walls of the bathroom can be omitted.
- This also includes a - generally applicable - temperature monitoring device; to this extent, it is provided that a temperature sensor is attached to the water outlet in a heat-conducting connection with a metallic connecting part protruding into the tub space, which temperature sensor gives the measured temperature value to a display device.
- This display device can be attached to the wall, but also, for example, to the post and gives the user of the bathtub an indication of the actual water temperature in the tub at any time - and shortly after the tub has started to be filled - without any additional information Measures on the part of the user are required.
- a time display can also be connected or linked, which additionally give signals or can be used for control measures.
- the new bathtub consists essentially of a tub body 1 together with support frame 2 (FIG. 4), base 3 and apron 4, the post 5 and the shower partition 6.
- the support frame 2 carries on the one hand the tub body 1 (made of plastic or made of sheet steel) and also holds the base 3 and the apron 4; the latter serve for the outer cladding. Is attached to the support frame 2, with the help of a rail 7th and a gusset plate 8, but also the post 5, in that tabs 9 arranged on the rail 7 clamp the post 5 by means of screw connections, not shown.
- the tub body 1 is shaped taking into account the anatomical conditions of the human body and has, among other things, projecting armrests 10.
- the bottom of the tub body 1 is offset in the shower section 41 from the bath sections 42 adjoining on both sides, for example by surface profiling.
- the upper edge 11 of the longitudinal side wall 12 is lowered at least in the region of the shower section 41 (FIG. 1).
- folds 15 are formed in the bath body 1, onto which a plate 17 (indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 4 and 5) is placed and in the longitudinal direction of the tub body (in Fig. 4 to the left or right) can be moved as required.
- the post 5 as illustrated in FIG. 8 on an enlarged scale, consists of a hollow profile rod.
- the screw connection between the tabs 9 belonging to the base frame 2 (FIG. 5) is stiffened within the hollow profile by sleeves 18.
- the post 5 is arranged at an inflection point of the trapezoidal longitudinal side wall 12, which is elongated in plan, and is at a distance from the closer transverse side wall 40, which in the open state of the shower partition 6 (FIG. 3) spans an element 22.
- an inflow line 19 for a shower head 20 (omitted here, shown only in FIG. 5); which is directed into the interior of the tub body 1.
- the hollow profile of the post 5 obviously provides space for further or different types of supply line if this should be desired.
- a control valve can easily be accommodated in the post 5; it is not shown in the drawing.
- a handle 21 attached to the post 5 is shown, which makes it easier to get in and out of the tub body 1 - in particular elderly or disabled people.
- a U-profile 29 fastened to the inside of the tub 5 on the inside of the tub 5 with the aid of the plate 29a serves to fasten the shower partition 6 (omitted in FIG. 5).
- the structural design thereof can best be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3. It consists of two multi-part folding screens 6a and 6b.
- the folding screen 6a has two elements 22 (consisting in a conventional manner of frame and synthetic glass filling), the folding screen 6b three.
- the hinge straps 23 are designed so that the elements 22 can be folded into mutual contact; the hinge strip 24 also such that the elements 22 further away from the post can be folded together (snail-like) against the element 22 closer to the post (cf. FIG. 3).
- the post-side elements 22 of both folding umbrellas 6a, 6b are articulated with their vertical edges adjacent to the post 5 on the two vertical longitudinal edges 25 of a strip 26, which in turn - as shown in FIG. 3 - is pivotally attached to the U-profile 29 and thus to the post 5 .
- the width of the strip 26 is dimensioned such that it corresponds approximately to the total thickness of both folded folding umbrellas 6a and 6b, as is also clear from FIG. 3.
- the elements 22 of the shower partition 6 protrude somewhat from above into the interior of the tub body 1 in order to ensure good splash protection.
- the lower, outer corners of the elements 22 removed from the post 5 are therefore notched somewhat (at 27 in FIGS. 2 and 5), so that these elements 22 in the opened state of the folding screens 6a, 6b on the upper edge 13 in the region of the longitudinal side wall 14 can be put on.
- Fig. 7 illustrates the above-mentioned temperature measuring arrangement.
- the parts 30 and 31 are connected and fastened by means of the screw 32.
- Seals 33, 34 (which do not rest against the tub body 1 and the parts 30, 31 only for a better illustration) serve to seal the water outlet 35 (FIGS. 4 and 5) with respect to the tub body 1.
- a (temperature) sensor 36 is on the (metallic) part 30 attached thermally conductive.
- the measurement signal is sent to a display device, which can be attached to a room wall in the extension of the longitudinal side wall 14 of the bathtub or else to the post 5.
- a display device can have a liquid crystal display and (with the aid of a microprocessor) display additional information - for example the time - and process it for control purposes if necessary.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Badewanne mit einer in mehrere miteinander verbundene Elemente unterteilten, tür- oder schirmförmigen Duschabtrennung, die oberhalb des Oberrandbereichs einer freiliegenden Längsseitenwand des Wannenkörpers und zusammenschiebbar bzw. -klapp- oder -faltbar angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a bathtub with a door or umbrella-shaped shower partition, which is divided into a plurality of interconnected elements and is arranged above the upper edge region of an exposed longitudinal side wall of the tub body and can be pushed or folded or folded.
Derartige Badewannen mit einer Duschabtrennung - etwa in Form einer Schiebetür oder eines faltbaren Spritzschutzschirmes, wie im Patentschift US-A-1 990 871 sind bekannt. Sie leiden an verschiedenen Mängeln, welche darauf zurückzuführen sind, daß einerseits die Badewanne, andererseits die Duschabtrennung ohne Rücksicht aufeinander (regelmäßig von verschiedenen Herstellern) gefertigt und erst am Einbauort miteinander kombiniert werden.Such bathtubs with a shower partition - for example in the form of a sliding door or a foldable splash guard, as in the patent document US-A-1 990 871 are known. They suffer from various defects, which can be attributed to the fact that on the one hand the bathtub and on the other hand the shower partition are made regardless of one another (regularly from different manufacturers) and are only combined with one another at the installation site.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es daher, diesen Mängeln durch eine integrierte Ausbildung von Badewanne und Duschabtrennung zu begegnen, um damit das Duschen in der Badewanne zu erleichtern.The aim of the invention is therefore to counter these deficiencies by an integrated design of bathtub and shower partition in order to facilitate showering in the bathtub.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß ein sich etwa in Verlängerung der freiliegenden Längsseitenwand vertikal nach oben erstreckender Pfosten mittels unterhalb des Oberrandes des Wannenkörpers angeordneter Befestigungselemente mit dem Wannenkörper fest verbunden ist und die Duschabtrennung trägt.According to the invention it is provided that an approximately vertically upward extending post extending into the exposed longitudinal side wall is fixedly connected to the tub body by means of fastening elements arranged below the upper edge of the tub body and supports the shower partition.
Dieser Pfosten kann an der Badewanne selbst, er kann aber auch an einem Traggerüst für die eigentliche Wanne befestigt sein. Er kann ferner so neben dem Oberrand der Längsseitenwand angeordnet sein, daß die die Außenwand bildende Schürze innen am Pfosten vorbeiläuft; der Pfosten kann aber auch den Oberrand der Badewanne durchsetzen.This post can be attached to the bathtub itself, but it can also be attached to a supporting structure for the actual bathtub. It can also be arranged next to the upper edge of the longitudinal side wall so that the skirt forming the outer wall runs past the inside of the post; the post can also penetrate the top of the bathtub.
Die Duschabtrennung besteht vorzugsweise aus zwei mehrgliedrigen, zu Paketen zusammenklappbaren Faltschirmen, die an den beiden Vertikalrändern einer Leiste angelenkt sind, deren Breite etwa der Gesamtdicke beider Pakete entspricht, und die ihrerseits um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar am Pfosten befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise kann einerseits eine geräumige Duschkabine innerhalb und oberhalb des Wannenkörpers abgetrennt werden, andererseits wird im zusammengeklappten Zustand der Duschabtrennung keine Badefunktion der Badewanne behindert.The shower partition preferably consists of two multi-part folding umbrellas that can be folded into packages, which are articulated on the two vertical edges of a strip, the width of which corresponds approximately to the total thickness of both packages, and which in turn is attached to the post so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis. In this way, on the one hand, a spacious shower cubicle can be separated inside and above the bath body, on the other hand, no bath function of the bath tub is hindered when the shower partition is folded.
Die Anordnung kann ferner so getroffen sein, daß der Pfosten aus einem Hohlprofilstab besteht, durch dessen Innenraum mindestens ein Zuflußrohr für eine am oberen Ende des Pfostens angeordnete Brausearmatur geführt ist. Auch kann am Pfosten ein Handgriff befestigt sein. Der Pfosten übernimmt auf diese Weise mehrere Funktionen, und zusätzliche Montagearbeiten an den Wänden des Baderaumes können entfallen.The arrangement can also be such that the post consists of a hollow profile rod, through the interior of which at least one inflow pipe is guided for a shower fitting arranged at the upper end of the post. A handle can also be attached to the post. In this way, the post takes on several functions, and additional assembly work on the walls of the bathroom can be omitted.
Von Vorteil ist ferner eine Auswölbung der freiliegenden Längsseitenwand des Wannenkörpers, insbesondere in der Querschnittsform eines langgezogenen trapezförmigen Polygonalzuges, weil dadurch der zu einer Duschkabine abtrennbare Raum des Wannenkörpers vergrößert wird, ohne daß die stirnseitigen Anschlußmaße der Badewanne verändert werden. Es empfiehlt sich dann, den Pfosten in einem Knickpunkt des Polygonalzuges anzuordnen.It is also advantageous to bulge the exposed longitudinal side wall of the tub body, in particular in the cross-sectional shape of an elongated trapezoidal polygonal cable, because the space of the tub body that can be separated into a shower cubicle is thereby increased without the front connection dimensions of the bathtub being changed. It is then advisable to arrange the post at an inflection point of the polygon.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand zusätzlicher Unteransprüche. Dazu gehört auch eine - allgemein einsetzbare - Temperatur- Überwachungseinrichtung; insoweit ist vorgesehen, daß am Wasserauslauf in wärmeleitender Verbindung mit einem in den Wannenraum ragenden metallischen Anschlußteil ein Temperaturfühler befestigt ist, der den Temperatur-Meßwert auf ein Anzeigegerät gibt. Dieses Anzeigegerät kann an der Wand, aber auch beispielsweise am Pfosten befestigt sein und gibt dem Benutzer der Badewanne zu jeder Zeit - und zwar schon kurz nach Beginn des Befüllens der Wanne - eine Angabe über die tatsächliche Wassertemperatur in der Wanne, ohne daß es irgendwelcher zusätzlicher Maßnahmen seitens des Benutzers bedarf. Mit einer solchen Temperaturanzeige kann ferner eine Zeitanzeige verbunden oder verknüpft sein, welche ergänzend Signale geben oder zu Steuerungsmaßnahmen herangezogen werden kann.Further preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of additional subclaims. This also includes a - generally applicable - temperature monitoring device; to this extent, it is provided that a temperature sensor is attached to the water outlet in a heat-conducting connection with a metallic connecting part protruding into the tub space, which temperature sensor gives the measured temperature value to a display device. This display device can be attached to the wall, but also, for example, to the post and gives the user of the bathtub an indication of the actual water temperature in the tub at any time - and shortly after the tub has started to be filled - without any additional information Measures on the part of the user are required. With such a temperature display, a time display can also be connected or linked, which additionally give signals or can be used for control measures.

Die neue Badewanne besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Wannenkörper 1 nebst Traggestell 2 (Fig. 4), Sockel 3 und Schürze 4, dem Pfosten 5 und der Duschabtrennung 6.The new bathtub consists essentially of a
Das Traggestell 2 trägt einerseits den (aus Kunststoff geformten oder auch aus Stahlblech bestehenden) Wannenkörper 1 und hält ferner den Sockel 3 sowie die Schürze 4; letztere dienen der äußeren Verkleidung. Befestigt ist am Traggestell 2, und zwar mit Hilfe einer Schiene 7 und eines Knotenbleches 8, aber auch der Pfosten 5, indem an der Schiene 7 angeordnete Lappen 9 den Pfosten 5 mittels nicht dargestellter Verschraubungen einspannen.The
Der Wannenkörper 1 ist unter Berücksichtigung anatomischer Gegebenheiten des menschlichen Körpers geformt und hat unter anderem vorspringende Armauflagen 10. Der Boden des Wannenkörpers 1 ist im Duschabschnitt 41 gegenüber den beidseitig anschließenden Badeabschnitten 42 abgesetzt, beispielsweise durch Oberflächen-Profilierung. Mindestens im Bereich des Duschabschnitts 41 ist der Oberrand 11 der Längsseitenwand 12 abgesenkt (Fig. 1).The
Parallel zum Oberrand 11 der freiliegenden Längsseitenwand 12 und zum Oberrand 13 der gegenüberliegenden, im allgemeinen einer Raumwand zugewandten Längsseitenwand 14 dar Badewanne sind in den Wannenkörper 1 Falze 15 eingeformt, auf die eine (in den Figuren 4 und 5 strichpunktiert angedeutete) Platte 17 aufgelegt und in Längsrichtung des Wannenkörpers (in Fig. 4 nach links oder rechts) je nach Bedarf verschoben werden kann.In parallel to the
Der Pfosten 5 besteht, wie Fig. 8 in vergrößertem Maßstab veranschaulicht, aus einem Hohlprofilstab. Die Verschraubung zwischen den zum Grundgestell 2 gehörenden Lappen 9 (Fig. 5) ist innerhalb des Hohlprofils durch Hülsen 18 ausgesteift. Der Pfosten 5 ist an einem Knickpunkt der im Grundriß langgezogenen trapezförmigen Längsseitenwand 12 angeordnet und hat von der näherlieganden Querseitenwand 40 einan Abstand, den im offenen Zustand der Duschabtrennung 6 (Fig. 3) ein Element 22 überspannt.The
Im Inneren des Pfostens 5 verläuft eine Zuflußleitung 19 für einen (hier weggelassenen, nur in Fig. 5 gezeigten) Brausekopf 20; der in den Innenraum des Wannenkörpers 1 gerichtet ist. Das Hohlprofil des Pfostens 5 bietet ersichtlich noch weiteren oder andersartigen Versorgungsleitungan Platz, wenn dies gewünscht sein sollte. Auch läßt sich eine Steuerungsarmatur unschwer im Pfosten 5 unterbringen; in der Zeichnung ist sie nicht dargestellt. Dargestellt ist hingegen ein am Pfosten 5 befestigter Handgriff 21, der das Einsteigen in und das Aussteigen aus dem Wannenkörper 1 - namentlich älteren oder behinderten Personen - erleichtert.In the interior of the
Ein mit Hilfe der Platte 29a am Pfosten 5 wanneninnenseitig befestigtes U-Profil 29 dient zur Befestigung der (in Fig. 5 weggelassenen) Duschabtrennung 6. Deren konstruktiver Aufbau ist am besten den Fig. 2 und 3 zu entnehmen. Sie besteht aus zwei mehrgliedrigen Faltschirmen 6a und 6b. Der Faltschirm 6a hat zwei (in herkömmlicher Weise aus Rahmen und Kunstglasfüllung bestehende) Elemente 22, der Faltschirm 6b deren drei. Die Scharnierbänder 23 sind so ausgebildet, daß sich die Elemente 22 in gegenseitige Anlage zusammenklappen lassen; die Scharnierleiste 24 außerdem derart, daß die pfostenferneren Elemente 22 sich zusammen (schneckenartig) gegen das pfostennähere Element 22 klappen lassen (vgl. Fig. 3).A U-profile 29 fastened to the inside of the
Die pfostenseitigen Elemente 22 beider Faltschirme 6a, 6b sind mit ihren dem Pfosten 5 benachbarten Vertikalrändern an den beiden vertikalen Längsrändern 25 einer Leiste 26 angelenkt, welche ihrerseits - wie Fig. 3 zeigt - am U-Profil 29 und damit am Pfosten 5 schwenkbar befestigt ist. Die Breite der Leiste 26 ist so bemessen, daß sie in etwa der Gesamtdicke beider zusammengeklappter Faltschirme 6a und 6b entspricht, wie dies auch Fig. 3 deutlich macht.The
Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ragen die Elemente 22 der Duschabtrennung 6 etwas von oben her in den Innenraum des Wannenkörpers 1 hinein, um einen guten Spritzschutz zu gewährleisten. Die unteren, äußeren Ecken der vom Pfosten 5 entfernten Elemente 22 sind daher (bei 27 in den Fig. 2 und 5) etwas ausgeklinkt, so daß diese Elemente 22 im aufgeklappten Zustand der Faltschirme 6a, 6b auf dem Oberrand 13 im Bereich der Längsseitenwand 14 aufgesetzt werden können.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the
Fig. 7 veranschaulicht die oben erwähnte Temperatur-Meßanordnung. Am Boden des Wannenkörpers 1 sind die Teile 30 und 31 mit Hilfe der Schraube 32 verbunden und befestigt. Dichtungen 33, 34 (die nur zur besseren Darstellung nicht am Wannenkörper 1 und den Teilen 30, 31 anliegen) dienen der Abdichtung des Wasserauslaufes 35 (Fig. 4 und 5) gegenüber dem Wannenkörper 1. Am (metallischen) Teil 30 ist ein Temperaturfühler 36 wärmeleitend befestigt. Über die durch das Teil 31 abgedichtet hindurchgeführte Leitung 37 wird das Meßsignal auf ein Anzeigegerät gegeben, welches an einer Raumwand in Verlängerung der Längsseitenwand 14 der Badewanne oder aber auch am Pfosten 5 befestigt sein kann. Ein solches Meßgerät kann eine FlüssigkristallAnzeige aufweisen und (unter Zuhilfenahme eines Mikroprozessors) zusätzliche Angaben - beispielsweise die Uhrzeit - anzeigen sowie ggf. zu Steuerungzwecken verarbeiten.Fig. 7 illustrates the above-mentioned temperature measuring arrangement. At the bottom of the
