Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Duschabtrennung mit einem oder mehreren Türelementen, die einerseits in einem oberen, waagerechten Rahmenteil eines feststehenden Rahmens hängend und über Rollen, Gleiter oder ähnliches bewegbar an einer Laufschiene geführt sind und andererseits je mit einem am unteren Ende befindlichen Fortsatz mit einer nach oben zu weisenden Abkröpfung versehen sind, die in eine nach unten zu offene Ausnehmung einer ein weiteres waagerechtes Rahmenteil dieses feststehenden Rahmens bildenden Bodenschiene greift. Duschabtrennungen dieser Art sind bekannt.The invention relates to a shower partition with one or more door elements, which are on the one hand hanging in an upper, horizontal frame part of a fixed frame and guided by rollers, sliders or the like on a running rail and, on the other hand, each with an extension located at the lower end with an upward are provided to be bent, which engages in a downwardly open recess of a further horizontal frame part of this fixed frame forming bottom rail. Shower enclosures of this type are known.

Zum Zwecke der Reinigung des Türelementes oder der Türelemente ist es bei Duschabtrennungen der eingangs genannten Gattung wünschenswert, daß das bzw. die Türelemente zeitweise aus ihrer Führung im Bereich der Bodenschiene gelöst werden können, insbesondere in Richtung auf den Duschinnenraum zu wenigstens um ein gewisses Maß verschwenkt werden können, ohne daß die Führung bzw. Aufhängung im oberen Rahmenteil dabei aufgehoben wird oder werden muß. Zur Lösung dieses Problems wäre es möglich, die am unteren Ende der Türelemente befindlichen Fortsätze mit der nach oben zu weisenden Abkröpfung genügend elastisch auszubilden - z. B. aus entsprechend dünnem, plattenartigen Kunststoffmaterial -, daß die Fortsätze durch entsprechendes Verbiegen aus der Führung in der Bodenschiene gelöst werden können. Eine derartige Konstruktion ist jedoch aus verschiedenen Gründen nicht befriedigend. Zum einen müßte nach einiger Betriebsdauer Bruch oder andere ähnliche Beschädigung der betreffenden Fortsätze erwartet werden, andererseits stellen derartige elastische Fortsätze auch kein geeignetes Konstruktionselement für eine definierte, über eine lange Betriebsdauer beständige Führung für die Türelemente dar. Schließlich beanspruchen derartige Konstruktionen im Hinblick auf die auszunutzende Elastizität des Kunststoffmaterials auch relativ viel Raum.For the purpose of cleaning the door element or the door elements, it is desirable for shower partitions of the type mentioned at the outset that the door element (s) can be temporarily released from their guidance in the area of the floor rail, in particular pivoted to a certain extent in the direction of the shower interior can be without the guide or suspension in the upper frame part is or must be lifted. To solve this problem, it would be possible to make the extensions located at the lower end of the door elements sufficiently elastic with the upward-pointing bend - e.g. B. from correspondingly thin, plate-like plastic material - that the extensions can be solved by bending the guide in the bottom rail. However, such a construction is unsatisfactory for various reasons. On the one hand, breakage or other similar damage to the relevant extensions should be expected after some operating time, on the other hand, such elastic extensions also do not represent a suitable construction element for a defined guide that is stable over a long operating period for the door elements. Finally, such constructions claim with regard to those to be used Elasticity of the plastic material also requires a lot of space.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine befriedigende konstruktive Lösung zu finden, die es ermöglicht, das oder die Türelemente einer Duschabtrennung zeitweilig in Richtung auf den Duschinnenraum zu um ein gewisses Maß - insbesondere zum Zweck der Reinigung - verschwenken zu können. Diese bereits aus der EP-A-0 001 612 her bekannte Aufgabe ist im Fall der Schiebetrennwand nach dieser Druckschrift durch eine zusätzliche Führungswand gelöst, die zusammen mit einer feststehenden Führungswand einen Führungsschlitz bildet und bedarfsweise nach unten zu um ein gewisses Maß weggeklappt bzw. verschwenkt werden kann, so daß die einzelnen Schiebetüren über diese weggeklappte Führungswand hinweg zum Duschinnenraum geschwenkt werden können.The present invention is therefore based on the object of finding a satisfactory constructive solution which makes it possible to pivot the door element or elements of a shower partition temporarily towards the shower interior by a certain amount, in particular for the purpose of cleaning. This task, already known from EP-A-0 001 612, is achieved in the case of the sliding partition according to this document by an additional guide wall which, together with a fixed guide wall, forms a guide slot and, if necessary, is folded down or pivoted downward to a certain extent can be, so that the individual sliding doors can be pivoted over this folded away guide wall to the shower interior.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die erwähnte Aufgabe auf eine technisch einfachere, kostengünstigere und raumsparende Weise entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche 1 bis 4.The present invention solves the above-mentioned object in a technically simpler, more cost-effective and space-saving manner in accordance with the characterizing features of the independent claims 1 to 4.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen 5 und 6 angegeben.Further advantageous embodiments are specified in the dependent claims 5 and 6.

Anhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 der Zeichnung wird die Erfindung im folgenden an vier einzelnen Ausführungsbeispielen noch näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using four individual exemplary embodiments with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the drawing.

Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 von einer weiter nicht dargestellten, an sich bekannten Duschabtrennung eine Bodenschiene und den unmittelbar daran anschließenden Teil eines beweglichen Türelementes im Schnitt, mit einem erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen, in der Bodenschiene gelagerten, verschwenkbaren bzw. drehbaren, im Querschnitt einen Teil eines Kreisringes bildenden Stab,
  • Figur 2 eine andere mögliche Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Duschabtrennung mit einer an der Bodenschiene geführten, bewegbaren Leiste zur Veränderung der Tiefe bzw. Größe der Ausnehmung, in der sich die Abkröpfung des Fortsatzes des Türelementes führt,
  • Figur 3 eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Duschabtrennung, bei der der obere Teil der Bodenschiene mit dem die Ausnehmung für die Abkröpfung des Fortsatzes des Türelementes enthaltenden Bereich vom übrigen Teil der Bodenschiene abnehmbar ausgeführt ist und
  • Figur 4 eine weitere mögliche Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Duschabtrennung, bei der der obere Teil der Bodenschiene - ggfs. vom übrigen Teil abnehmbar - an diesem Teil schwenkbar gelagert ist.
Show it
  • 1 a sectional view of a shower rail, not known per se, showing a bottom rail and the part of a movable door element directly adjoining it, with a pivotable or rotatable rod provided in the bottom rail and forming part of a circular ring in cross section,
  • FIG. 2 shows another possible embodiment of the shower partition according to the invention with a movable bar guided on the floor rail for changing the depth or size of the recess, in which the offset of the extension of the door element results,
  • 3 shows a further shower partition according to the invention, in which the upper part of the floor rail is designed to be removable from the remaining part of the floor rail with the area containing the recess for the angled extension of the door element, and
  • Figure 4 shows a further possible embodiment of a shower partition according to the invention, in which the upper part of the floor rail - if necessary removable from the remaining part - is pivotally mounted on this part.

Figur 1 zeigt von einer im übrigen nicht weiter dargestellten, an sich bekannten Duschabtrennung ein Türelement 1, das sich am oberen Ende in an sich bekannter Weise mittels Rollen oder Gleitern oder ähnlichen Bauelementen in einer entsprechenden, horizontal ausgerichteten Laufschiene oder dgl. führt und das am unteren Ende in einen Fortsatz 2 ausläuft. Der Fortsatz 2 endet in einer nach oben hin weisenden Abkröpfung 3. Die Abkröpfung 3 greift in eine Ausnehmung 4 einer Bodenschiene 5 ein. Die Bodenschiene 5 ist beispielsweise mittels eines Klebers oder auf andere Weise auf dem Rand 6 eines Duschbeckens 7 angebracht.1 shows a door element 1 of a shower partition, which is not shown in any other way and is known per se, which leads at the upper end in a manner known per se by means of rollers or sliders or similar components in a corresponding, horizontally oriented running rail or the like ends in an extension 2. The extension 2 ends in an upward-pointing bend 3. The bend 3 engages in a recess 4 in a bottom rail 5. The bottom rail 5 is attached, for example by means of an adhesive or in another way, to the edge 6 of a shower basin 7.

Die Ausnehmung 4 in der Bodenschiene 5 wird einerseits durch eine Rille 8 gebildet und andererseits durch einen Stab 9.The recess 4 in the bottom rail 5 is formed on the one hand by a groove 8 and on the other hand by a rod 9.

Der Stab 9 ist im Querschnitt gesehen als Teil eines Kreisringes ausgeführt und der Verlauf der Innenwandung der Rille 8 entspricht dem Verlauf der Außenwandung des Stabes 9. Auf diese Weise haben Rille 8 und Stab 9 dieselbe geometrische Achse, so daß der stab 9 - z. B. seitlich in den nicht dargestellten, an die Bodenschiene 5 anschließenden Rahmenteilen befindlichen Lagern drehbar bzw. schwenkbar geführt - innerhalb der Rille 8 gedreht bzw. geschwenkt werden kann. Aus der Darstellung in der Zeichnung gemäß Figur 1 ist ohne weiteres verständlich, daß bei entsprechender Drehung des stabes 9 aus der dargestellten Position entgegen dem Uhrzeigerdrehsinn in eine davon etwa um 120 Grad abweichende Position das untere, mit 10 bezeichnete Ende des Stabes 9 so weit angehoben wird, daß das Türelement 1 mit dem Fortsatz 2 aus dem Bereich der Ausnehmung 4 in Richtung auf den Duschinnenraum zu von der Bodenschiene 5 weggeschwenkt werden kann. Damit ist dann wesentlich leichtere Reinigung des Türelementes und ggfs. weiterer, nicht dargestellter und auf dieselbe Weise über Fortsätze mit Abkröpfungen mit der Bodenschiene 5 verbindbarer Türelemente sowie der Bodenschiene 5 selbst möglich.The rod 9 is seen in cross section as part of a circular ring and the course of the inner wall of the groove 8 corresponds to the course of the outer wall of the rod 9. In this way, the groove 8 and rod 9 have the same geometric axis, so that the rod 9 - z. B. laterally in the not shown, to the bottom rail 5 frame parts located bearings rotatably or pivotably guided - within the groove 8 can be rotated or pivoted. From the illustration in the drawing according to FIG. 1, it is readily understandable that with a corresponding rotation of the rod 9 from the position shown counterclockwise into a position deviating from it by approximately 120 degrees, the lower end, designated 10, of the rod 9 is raised so far is that the door element 1 with the extension 2 can be pivoted away from the bottom rail 5 from the area of the recess 4 in the direction of the shower interior. This makes it much easier to clean the door element and, if necessary, other door elements, not shown and which can be connected in the same way via extensions with offsets to the bottom rail 5 and the bottom rail 5 itself.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Bodenschiene 11, die in einen dem Duschinnenraum zugekehrten, nach unten zu weisenden Fortsatz 12 ausläuft. Etwa in der Ebene des Fortsatzes 12 befindet sich ein leistenartiges Element 13, welches ähnlich wie die Stange 9 im Fall der Ausführungsform nach Figur 1 insbesondere im Bereich der beiden an die Bodenschiene 11 seitlich anschließenden, bodenseitigen Rahmenteile der Duschabtrennung in einer parallel zum Fortsatz 12 verlaufenden Ebene verschiebbar gelagert ist. Allerdings könnten - nicht dargestellte - eine entsprechende Verschiebbarkeit ermöglichende Lager auch direkt an der Bodenschiene 11 vorgesehen sein, ähnlich wie dies im Fall der Lösung nach Figur 1 mit Hilfe von geeigneten Schellen oder dgl. möglich wäre.FIG. 2 shows a floor rail 11 which ends in an extension 12 facing the shower interior and pointing downwards. Approximately in the plane of the extension 12 there is a strip-like element 13 which, like the rod 9 in the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 1, in particular in the region of the two bottom-side frame parts of the shower partition adjoining the bottom rail 11 in a parallel to the extension 12 Level is slidably mounted. However, bearings (not shown) that enable a corresponding displaceability could also be provided directly on the bottom rail 11, similarly as would be possible in the case of the solution according to FIG. 1 with the aid of suitable clamps or the like.

Bei Verschiebung des leistenartigen Elementes 13 nach oben zu kann die in der Bodenschiene befindliche, mit 14 bezeichnete Ausnehmung derart verändert werden, daß ein Verschwenken des Türelementes 1 wie im Fall der Ausführung nach Figur 1 möglich ist.When the strip-like element 13 is moved upwards, the recess in the bottom rail, designated 14, can be changed such that pivoting of the door element 1 is possible, as in the case of the embodiment according to FIG.

Im Fall der Ausführungsform nach Figur 3 schließt an ein feststehendes Teil 15 einer Bodenschiene 16 ein abnehmbares Teil 17 an. Das Teil 17 läuft auf der dem Duschinnenraum abgekehrten Seite in einen im Querschnitt etwa U-förmigen Fortsatz 18 aus, der einen im Querschnitt etwa 1- förmigen, korrespondierenden Fortsatz 19 des feststehenden Teils der Bodenschiene 15 übergreift. Diese Steckverbindung zwischen Teil 17 und 15 der Bodenschiene 16 ermöglicht ebenfalls auf einfache Weise, die Führungsverbindung zwischen Türelement 1 und Bodenschiene 16 zu lösen.In the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 3, a removable part 17 adjoins a fixed part 15 of a floor rail 16. The part 17 runs on the side facing away from the shower interior into an extension 18 which is approximately U-shaped in cross section and which overlaps a corresponding extension 19 of approximately 1-shaped cross section of the fixed part of the floor rail 15. This plug connection between parts 17 and 15 of the bottom rail 16 also enables the guide connection between the door element 1 and the bottom rail 16 to be released in a simple manner.

Schließlich zeigt die Ausführungsform nach Figur 4 eine mögliche Ausführungsform, bei der - neben der Möglichkeit des kompletten Abnehmens - der obere, mit 20 bezeichnete Teil einer Bodenschiene 21 am feststehenden Teil 22 der Bodenschiene 21 um eine in Längsrichtung der Bodenschiene 21 verlaufende Achse an dieser schwenkbar gelagert ist. Hierzu ist eine Verbindung 23 vorgesehen, die nach Art eines Kugelgelenkes aus einer in einem Fortsatz 24 befindlichen Rille 25 und einem die Rille 25 ausfüllenden, im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Stab 26 besteht, der dem feststehenden Teil 22 der Bodenschiene 21 zugeordnet ist.Finally, the embodiment according to FIG. 4 shows a possible embodiment in which, in addition to the possibility of complete removal, the upper part of a floor rail 21, designated 20, on the fixed part 22 of the floor rail 21 can be pivoted about an axis running in the longitudinal direction of the floor rail 21 is stored. For this purpose, a connection 23 is provided which, in the manner of a ball joint, consists of a groove 25 located in an extension 24 and a rod 26 which fills the groove 25 and is circular in cross section and which is assigned to the fixed part 22 of the floor rail 21.

Der am beweglichen Teil 20 der Bodenschien 21 befindliche Fortsatz 24 kann derart elastisch ausgeführt und entsprechend bemessen sein, daß das Teil 20 von dem im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Stab 26 bzw. der entsprechenden Erweiterung des feststehenden Teils der Bodenschiene 22 durch einfaches Abziehen entfernt werden kann.The extension 24 located on the movable part 20 of the bottom rail 21 can be designed to be elastic and dimensioned accordingly so that the part 20 can be removed by simply pulling it off from the bar 26 with a circular cross section or the corresponding extension of the fixed part of the bottom rail 22.
