Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Dampfbad-Kabine, bestehend aus mindestens drei Kabinenwänden und einem Kabinendach, wobei zumindest die Kabinenwände aus einzelnen, aneinandergesetzten und eine Wärmeisolierung aufweisenden Profilwannenelementen mit jeweils einem Profilboden und mindestens zwei Längswänden gebildet sind, und wobei Öffnungen für den Dampfeinlaß und die Abluft sowie eine Tür vorgesehen sind.The present invention relates to a steam bath cabin, consisting of at least three cabin walls and a cabin roof, wherein at least the cabin walls are formed from individual, stacked and having thermal insulation profile trough elements, each with a profile floor and at least two longitudinal walls, and wherein openings for the steam inlet and the Exhaust air and a door are provided.

Bei bekannten Dampfbad-Kabinen bestehen die Wandelemente aus vorgefertigten Vollkunststoffelementen mit einem geschäumten Kern als Wärmeisolierung, aus denen die Kabine zusammengesetzt ist. Bei diesen Kabinen sind die Kabinensitze integraler Bestandteil der Wandelemente. Um diese Kabinen montieren zu können, ist ein um die Kabine herumführender Montagefreiraum zur Raumwand erforderlich, da die Montage der Elemente von außen erfolgt. Aus diesem Grund erfordern diese Kabinen zur Montage großzügige Platzverhältnisse. Weiterhin ist bei diesen Kabinen von Nachteil, daß sich auf den Sitzflächen der integralen Sitzbänke das von den Wänden herunterlaufende Kondenswasser und auch der anfallende Körperschweiß sammeln, was aus hygienischen Gründen unerwünscht ist. Auch weisen diese Kabinen keine optimale Dampfverteilung auf, so daß keine gleichmäßige Umspülung der in der Kabine sitzenden Personen mit heißem Dampf gewährleistet ist, da die Dampfzufuhr über eine einzige zentrale Zuführungsöffnung und die Ableitung über einen Auslaß in den Seitenwänden erfolgt, wobei die Anordnung der jeweiligen Öffnungen abhängig ist von den gegebenen Platzverhältnissen, und andererseits da die Sitzbänke integral mit den Seitenwänden sind.In known steam bath cabins, the wall elements consist of prefabricated all-plastic elements with a foamed core as thermal insulation, from which the cabin is composed. In these cabins, the cabin seats are an integral part of the wall elements. In order to be able to assemble these cabins, an installation space leading around the cabin to the room wall is required, since the elements are assembled from the outside. For this reason, these cabins require generous space for installation. A further disadvantage of these cabins is that the condensation water running down the walls and the body sweat accumulate on the seating surfaces of the integral benches, which is undesirable for hygienic reasons. Also, these cabins do not have an optimal steam distribution, so that no uniform flushing of the people sitting in the cabin with hot steam is guaranteed, since the steam is supplied via a single central supply opening and the discharge via an outlet in the side walls, the arrangement of the respective Openings depend on the available space, and on the other hand because the benches are integral with the side walls.

Bei einer aus der DE-A-35 36 508 bekannten Dampfbad-Kabineder eingangs genannten Art bestehen die Profilwannenelemente (Wandabschnitte) aus Kunststoff, z.B. aus glasfiberverstärktem unststoff. Dabei sind zum Verbindender Profilwannenelemente bzw. Wandabschnitte gesonderte Verbindungsprofile aus Metall vorgesehen, und zwar sind in jedem Verbindungsbereich zweier benachbarter Wandabschnitte zwei Metall-Verbindungsprofile erforderlich, die jeweils auf den Innenseiten der Längswände (Außenränder) der Wandabschnitte angebrachtwerden. Die Wandabschnitte werden dann mittels die beiden Verbindungsprofile sowie die Längswände durch greifender Schrauben verbunden. Zur Abdichtung sind wiederum als gesonderte Einzelteile Dichtungsstreifen erforderlich, die zwischen den Wandabschnitten angeordnet werden. Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung ist die Montage der bekannten Dampfbad- Kabine sehr schwierig und zeitaufwendig. Zudem treten aufgrund der Ausbildung der Profilwannenelemente aus Kunststoff Stabilitätsprobleme auf. Zwar sollen die Wandabschnitte durch die Verbindungsprofile versteift werden, jedoch dürfte dies insgesamt gesehen nur un vollkommen gelingen. Ein weiteres Problem stellt sich bei der Abdichtung zwischen den Wandabschnitten, da der hierzu vorgesehene Dichtungsstreifen gleichzeitig bei der Verbindung der Wandabschnitte montiert werden muß, so daß sehr viele Einzelteile oder -elemente (zwei Wandabschnitte, zwei Verbindungsprofile, ein Dichtungsstreifen sowie die erforderlichen Schrauben) gleichzeitig gehandhabt werden müssen, was sehrschwierig ist. Weiterhin tritt auch hier der oben bereits geschilderte Nachteil auf, daß zur Montage ein um die Kabine herumführender Montagefreiraum zur Raum- bzw. Gebäudewand erforderlich ist, da die Montage der Wandabschnitte von außen erfolgen muß. Dies liegt daran, daß die Wandabschnitte der bekannten Dampfbad- Kabine nach außen offen ausgebildet sind, so daß die zur Verbindung erforderlichen Schrauben nur von außen zugänglich sind.In a steam bath cabin known from DE-A-35 36 508, the profile trough elements (wall sections) are made of plastic, e.g. made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. Separate connecting profiles made of metal are provided for connecting the profile trough elements or wall sections, namely two metal connecting profiles are required in each connecting area of two adjacent wall sections, which are each attached to the inside of the longitudinal walls (outer edges) of the wall sections. The wall sections are then connected by means of the two connecting profiles and the longitudinal walls by gripping screws. Sealing strips, which are arranged between the wall sections, are again required as separate individual parts for sealing. Because of this configuration, the assembly of the known steam bath cabin is very difficult and time-consuming. In addition, stability problems arise due to the formation of the profile trough elements made of plastic. Although the wall sections are to be stiffened by the connecting profiles, overall this should only be achieved to a limited extent. A further problem arises with the sealing between the wall sections, since the sealing strip provided for this purpose must be installed at the same time when the wall sections are connected, so that a large number of individual parts or elements (two wall sections, two connecting profiles, a sealing strip and the required screws) at the same time have to be handled, which is very difficult. Furthermore, the disadvantage already described above also arises here that a mounting space leading around the cabin to the room or building wall is required for mounting, since the wall sections must be mounted from the outside. This is because the wall sections of the known steam bath cabin are open to the outside, so that the screws required for connection are only accessible from the outside.

Die US-A-4 100 711 betrifft lediglich eine vorgefertigte Isolierplatte (Paneel) und keine Dampfbad- Kabine. Damit ist diese Druckschrift als gattungsfremd zu bezeichnen. Zur horizontalen Verbindung dieser bekannten Platten sind zwar bereits Nut-Federverbindungen vorgesehen, jedoch unterscheidet sich diese bekannte Konstruktion sehr von derjenigen der vorliegenden Erfindung. So besteht die Platte aus einer äußeren Metallplatte, die einseitig eine Isolierschicht trägt. Demzufolge kann hier nicht von einem Profilwannenelement gesprochen werden. Die Platte besitzt an ihrer oberen Horizontalseite eine Feder (top edge), die durch eine falzartige Umbiegung der Metallplatte gebildet ist, wobei das Material der Metallplatte hier parallel aneinanderliegt. An der unteren Horizontalseite ist ebenfalls durch einen falzartigen Verlauf der Metallplatte eine Nut (bottom seat) gebildet. In der montierten Stellung liegen demzufolge alle die Nut und die Feder bildenden Abschnitte der Metallplatte unmittelbar aufeinander.US-A-4 100 711 relates only to a prefabricated insulating plate (panel) and not a steam bath cabin. This document can therefore be described as foreign to the genre. Tongue and groove connections are already provided for the horizontal connection of these known plates, but this known construction is very different from that of the present invention. The plate consists of an outer metal plate, which has an insulating layer on one side. Accordingly, it is not possible to speak of a profile trough element here. The plate has a spring (top edge) on its upper horizontal side, which is formed by a fold-like bend in the metal plate, the material of the metal plate lying here parallel to one another. A groove (bottom seat) is also formed on the lower horizontal side by a fold-like course of the metal plate. Accordingly, in the assembled position, all the sections of the metal plate that form the groove and the tongue lie directly on top of one another.

Auch die DE-A-32 18 695 beschreibt keine Dampfbad-Kabine, sondern vielmehr eine Bauplatte, so daß auch diese Druckschrift als gattungsfremd zu bezeichnen ist. Diese bekannte Bauplatte besteht aus einer Blechschale und einer Dämmstoffschicht. Hierbei besitzt die Blechschale im Bereich einer Stirnseite einen Randsteg, der eine Feder bildet. An ihrer anderen Stirnseite besitzt die Blechschale zur Bildung einer Nut einen Falz, wobei diese Nut mit einer der Dicke des Randsteges bzw. der Feder entsprechenden Öffnungsweite ausgebildet ist.DE-A-32 18 695 also does not describe a steam bath cabin, but rather a building board, so that this document can also be described as foreign to the genre. This known building board consists of a sheet metal shell and an insulation layer. Here, the sheet metal shell has an edge web in the region of one end face, which forms a spring. The sheet metal shell has a fold on its other end face to form a groove, this groove being formed with an opening width corresponding to the thickness of the edge web or the spring.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ausgehend von dem eingangs beschriebenen Stand der Technik eine derart verbesserte Dampfbad-Kabine zu schaffen, daß eine einfache und zeitsparende Montage auch von der Innenseite der Kabine aus möglich ist, wobei die fertige Kabine eine hohe Stabilität besitzen und mit einfachen Mitteln eine wirkungsvolle Abdichtung zwischen den Profilwannenelementen erreicht werden soll.The invention has for its object to provide an improved steam bath cabin based on the prior art described above that simple and time-saving installation is also possible from the inside of the cabin, the finished cabin having a high stability and with simple means an effective seal between the profile trough elements is to be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die Profilwannenelemente aus Metall bestehen und über Nut-Federverbindungen aneinandergesetzt sind, in dem jeweils eine Längswand eines der Profilwannenelemente eine Nut und die anstoßende Längswand des benachbarten Profilwannenelementes einen Federansatz aufweisen, wobei sowohl die Nut als auch der in die Nut passende Federansatz jeweils von zwei zueinander und zu dem Profilboden parallelen, voneinander beabstandeten Stegansätzen der Längswände gebildet sind. Dabei kann in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung der eine der die Nut begrenzenden Stegansätze eine Verlängerung des Profilbodens bilden.According to the invention, this is achieved by that the profile trough elements are made of metal and are connected to one another via tongue and groove connections, in each of which a longitudinal wall of one of the profile trough elements has a groove and the abutting longitudinal wall of the adjacent profile trough element has a tongue extension, both the groove and the tongue extension fitting into the groove each of two parallel to each other and to the profile floor, spaced web approaches of the longitudinal walls are formed. In one advantageous embodiment of the invention, one of the web projections that delimit the groove can form an extension of the profile base.

Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Nut-Federverbindungen ist eine Montage durch einfaches "Zusammenstecken" der Profilwannenelemente auch von dem Kabineninnenraum her möglich, so daß auchin solchen Räumen die erfindungs gemäße Kabine aufgestellt werden kann, die nur von einer Seite her, beispielsweise nur durch eine Tür, zugänglich sind, d.h. die Kabinenwände können unmittelbar vor vorhandenen Gebäudewänden montiert werden. Die erfindungsgemäße spezielle Ausgestaltung der Nut und des Federansatzes aus jeweils zwei voneinander beabstandeten, parallelen Stegansätzen führt in Verbindung mit dem Merkmal, daß die Profilwannenelemente und damit auch die Stegansätze aus Metall bestehen, zu einer außerordentlich hohen statischen Stabilität der erfindungsgemäßem Dampfbad-Kabine sowie zu einer Abdichtung durch Labyrinthwirkung.Due to the tongue and groove connections provided according to the invention, assembly by simply “plugging” the profile trough elements is also possible from the cabin interior, so that the cabin according to the invention can also be set up in such rooms, which can only be set up from one side, for example only through a door, are accessible, ie the cabin walls can be installed directly in front of existing building walls. The special design of the groove and the tongue attachment according to the invention, each consisting of two spaced-apart, parallel web attachments, in conjunction with the feature that the profile trough elements and thus also the web attachments consist of metal, lead to an extraordinarily high static stability of the steam bath cabin according to the invention and to one Sealing through labyrinth effect.

Wie in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellt ist, besteht eine erfindungsgemäße Dampfbad-Kabine aus mindestens drei, vorzugsweise - wie abgebildet - vier, Seitenwänden 1 und einem Dach 2. Die Seitenwände 1 sind aus speziellen erfindungsgemäßen Metallprofilwannen 3 hergestellt, siehe Fig. 6. Diese Profilwannen 3 haben eine Länge, die etwa der Höhe der Seitenwände 2 entspricht. Der Innenraum der Profilwannen 3 wird durch einen profilboden 4 und zwei Längswände 5 begrenzt. Die Höhe der Längswände 5 beträgt etwa 20 mm und die Breite des Profilbodens etwa 10 bis 20 cm, wobei es im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt, wenn Profilwannen 3 unterschiedlicher Abmessung, d.h. in einem bestimmten Raster, hergestellt werden. Die Länge der Profilwannen 3 beträgt etwa 200 cm. Als Material wird vorteilhafterweise Aluminium verwendet, so daß die Profilwannen 3 als Strangpreßprofile hergestellt werden können. Diese Profilwannen 3 zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Steifigkeit und Stabilität aus. Die Profilwannen 3 sind mit einem Isoliermaterial 6 zur Wärmeisolierung ausgefüllt. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich um einen Isolierschaum, insbesondere einen Polyurethanschaum. Die Profilwannen 3 werden nun derart mit dem Isolierschaum ausgefüllt, daß dieser mit einem Überstand 7 die Längsränder 8 der Längswände 5 überragt. An den Längswänden 5 der Profilwannen 3 sind Nut-Federverbindungselemente ausgebildet, so daß die die Kabinenwand bildenden Profilwannen über eine Nut-Federverbindung miteinander formschlüssig verbunden sind. Hierzu weist eine der Längswände 5 eine durchgehende Nut 9 und die andere Längswand 5 einen durchgehenden Federansatz 10 auf. Hierzu ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn eine Längswand 5 einer Profilwanne 3 einen eine Verlängerung des Profilbodens 4 bildenden, in Längsrichtung der Profilwanne 3 verlaufenden Stegansatz 9a sowie einen parallel zu dem Stegansatz 9a verlaufenden und von diesem beabstandeten Stegansatz 9b aufweist, welche Stegansätze 9a, 9b die Nut 9 begrenzen. Die andere Längswand 5 der Profilwanne 3 weist zwei voneinander beabstandete und parallel zueinander sowie zu dem Profilboden 4 in Längsrichtung der Profilswanne 3 verlaufende Stegansätte 10a, 10b auf, die den in die Nut 9 passenden Federansatz 10 bilden. Diese Ausbildung gewährleistet einen besonders großen Überstand 7 und damit eine sehr gute Isolierung. Darüber hinaus liegt es jedoch ebenfalls im Rahmen der Erfindung, im etwa mittigen Bereich der Längswände 5 Nut 9 und Feder 10 vorzusehen.As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a steam bath cabin according to the invention consists of at least three, preferably - as shown - four, side walls 1 and a roof 2. The side walls 1 are made of special metal profile tubs 3 according to the invention, see FIG. 6 These profile troughs 3 have a length which corresponds approximately to the height of the side walls 2. The interior of the profile troughs 3 is delimited by a profile base 4 and two longitudinal walls 5. The height of the longitudinal walls 5 is approximately 20 mm and the width of the profile base is approximately 10 to 20 cm, it being within the scope of the invention if profile troughs 3 of different dimensions, i.e. in a certain grid. The length of the profile troughs 3 is approximately 200 cm. Aluminum is advantageously used as the material, so that the profile troughs 3 can be produced as extruded profiles. These profile troughs 3 are characterized by high rigidity and stability. The profile trays 3 are filled with an insulating material 6 for thermal insulation. It is preferably an insulating foam, in particular a polyurethane foam. The profile troughs 3 are now filled with the insulating foam such that it overhangs the longitudinal edges 8 of the longitudinal walls 5 with an overhang 7. Tongue and groove connecting elements are formed on the longitudinal walls 5 of the profile troughs 3, so that the profile troughs forming the cabin wall are positively connected to one another via a tongue and groove connection. For this purpose, one of the longitudinal walls 5 has a continuous groove 9 and the other longitudinal wall 5 has a continuous tongue 10. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if a longitudinal wall 5 of a profile trough 3 has a web extension 9a, which forms an extension of the profile base 4 and runs in the longitudinal direction of the profile trough 3, and a web extension 9b running parallel to the web extension 9a and spaced therefrom, which web extensions 9a, 9b limit the groove 9. The other longitudinal wall 5 of the profile trough 3 has two web seats 10a, 10b, which are spaced apart from one another and parallel to one another and to the profile base 4 in the longitudinal direction of the profile trough 3, and which form the tongue extension 10 which fits into the groove 9. This training ensures a particularly large projection 7 and therefore very good insulation. In addition, however, it is also within the scope of the invention to provide groove 9 and tongue 10 in the approximately central region of the longitudinal walls 5.

Es ist vorgesehen, daß der Überstand 7 des Isoliermaterials 3 ist, daß sich eine geschlossene spaltfreie Isolierung auf der Kabinenrückwand ergibt. Dies kann herstellungsmäßig dadurch erreicht werden, daß mehrere Profilwannen 3 im liegenden Zustand, so daß ihr Innenraum nach oben frei zugänglich ist, gemeinsam ausgeschäumt werden, so daß aufgrund des erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Überstandes des lsoliermaterials eine durchgehende Isolierungsschicht sich auf der Rückseite der Profilwannen ergibt. Zum Vereinzeln der ausgeschäumten Profilwannen 3 wird die im Überstandsbereich durchgehende geschäumte Isolierung entlang den Stoßfugen zwischen den einzelnen Profilwannen 3, d.h. entlang der von dem freien Ende des Nut-Stegansatzes 9b gebildeten Linie, getrennt. Werden bei der Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Kabine die derart hergestellten ausgeschäumten Profilwannen 3 aneinandergesetzt, ergibt sich - wie bereits erwähnt - eine spaltfrei geschlossene Isolierung auf der Kabinenaußenseite.It is provided that the protrusion 7 of the insulating material 3 is such that there is closed, gap-free insulation on the rear wall of the cabin. In terms of manufacture, this can be achieved by foaming together a plurality of profile troughs 3 in the lying state, so that their interior is freely accessible upwards, so that due to the projection of the lso provided according to the invention liermaterials a continuous insulation layer results on the back of the profile troughs. To separate the foamed profile troughs 3, the continuous foamed insulation in the protruding area is separated along the butt joints between the individual profile troughs 3, ie along the line formed by the free end of the groove-web extension 9b. If, during the assembly of the cabin according to the invention, the foamed profile troughs 3 produced in this way are placed next to one another, there is - as already mentioned - a gap-free closed insulation on the outside of the cabin.

Die Außenseite der erfindungsgemäßen Profilwannen 3, d.h. die Innenseite der Dampfbadkabine, ist vorzugsweise mit einer Beschichtung 12 versehen, die aus einem Kunststoffmaterial besteht und einerseits zur Farbgebung und andererseits zur Isolierung dient. Diese Beschichtung 12 kann im Pulverbeschichtungsverfahren aufgebracht werden.The outside of the profile troughs 3 according to the invention, i.e. the inside of the steam bath cabin is preferably provided with a coating 12, which consists of a plastic material and serves on the one hand for coloring and on the other hand for insulation. This coating 12 can be applied using the powder coating method.

Wie weiterhin aus Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist, kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn an der Innenseite des Bodens 4 Halterungsprofile 13 befestigt sind, die beispielsweise im Querschnitt T-förmig ausgebildet sein können, und eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Isoliermaterial 6 und der Profilwanne 3 herbeiführen.As can further be seen from FIG. 6, it can be expedient if mounting profiles 13 are fastened to the inside of the base, which can be T-shaped in cross section, for example, and a positive connection between the insulating material 6 and the profile trough 3 bring about.

Gemäß Fig. 4 und 5 ist die erfindungsgemäße Dampfbadkabine mit einer Tür 14, insbesondere einer Glastür, ausgestattet, die in ihrem an ihr unteres Ende angrenzenden Bereich eine über ihre gesamte Breite und in Richtung ihrer Scharnierseite 15 geneigt verlaufende Kondenswasserrinne 16 aufweist, die an ihrem der Scharnierseite 15 zugekehrten Ende mit einem in den Kabineninnenraum mündenden Ablaufschlauch 17 verbunden ist. Diese Rinne 16 der nach außen öffnenden Tür 14 leitet so vorteilhafterweise jegliches Kondenswasser, was sich auf der Türfläche bildet, auch bei offener Tür stets in die Kabine und somit in einen dort vorgesehenen Ablauf, so daß der Vorraum vor der erfindungsgemäßen Dampfbad- kabine stets trocken bleibt.4 and 5, the steam bath cabin according to the invention is equipped with a door 14, in particular a glass door, which in its area adjoining its lower end has a condensate channel 16 which runs inclined over its entire width and in the direction of its hinge side 15 the hinge side 15 facing end is connected to a drain hose 17 opening into the cabin interior. This channel 16 of the outwardly opening door 14 thus advantageously conducts any condensate that forms on the door surface, even with the door open, into the cabin and thus into a drain provided there, so that the anteroom in front of the steam bath cabin according to the invention is always dry remains.

Wie aus Fig. 3 und 7 ersichtlich ist, ist das Kabinendach 2 derart ausgebildet, daß es eine Wölbung nach außen besitzt. Durch diese Dachwölbung wird erreicht, daß sich bildendes Kondenswasser nicht nach unten abtropft. Das Dach 2 besteht erfindungsgemäß aus einzenen Dachelementen 20, die jeweils aus einem nach außen gewölbten Blech 21 und einem zumindest an einer Kante befestigten, nach unten offenen U-Profil 22 bestehen, wobei die einen Rahmen bildenden U-Profile 22 auf die oberen Enden der Wandelemente aufgesetzt und die Dachelemente 20 an ihren übrigen, aneinander angrenzenden Kanten miteinander verbunden sind. Für diese Verbindung sind die aneinander angrenzenden Kanten der Dachelemente 20 L-förmig nach außen gebogen, wobei sich die waagerechten L-Schenkel 23 überlappen und mittels Schraubverbindungen 24 miteinander verschraubt sind. Durch diese Ausbildung entsteht auf der Innenseite 25 des Daches 2 ein nutförmiger Hohlraum 26, in den erfindungsgemäß ein U-förmiges Verblendprofil 27 derart eingesetzt ist, daß sich auf der Dachinnenseite 25 eine durchgehende Fläche ergibt.3 and 7 as can be seen from Fig., The cabin roof 2 is designed such that it has a curvature to the outside. This arching of the roof ensures that condensation water does not drip down. According to the invention, the roof 2 consists of individual roof elements 20, each of which consists of a sheet 21 that is curved outwards and a U-profile 22 that is open at the bottom and is fastened at least on one edge, the U-profiles 22 forming a frame on the upper ends of the Mounted wall elements and the roof elements 20 are connected to each other at their other, adjacent edges. For this connection, the mutually adjacent edges of the roof elements 20 are bent outward in an L-shape, the horizontal L-legs 23 overlapping and being screwed together by means of screw connections 24. This design creates a groove-shaped cavity 26 on the inside 25 of the roof 2, in which a U-shaped veneer profile 27 is inserted according to the invention such that a continuous surface is obtained on the inside 25 of the roof.

An den unteren, dem Kabinenboden 31 zugekehrten Enden der Wandelemente sind erfindungsgemäß höhenverstellbare Füße 32 angeordnet. Hierzu ist an den unteren Enden der Wandelemente jeweils eine in Richtung der Wand 1 verlaufende, sich in die Profilwannen 3 erstrekkende Nut ausgebildet, in die Vierkantrohr-Profile 33, die einen Bodenrahmen bilden, eingesetzt sind. Die Vierkantrohr-Profile 33 weisen senkrecht angeordnete, in Richtung der Wand 1 voneinander beabstandete Gewindebohrungen auf, in die die als Schraubfüße ausgebildeten Füße 32 höhenverstellbar eingeschraubt sind. Hierdurch können auf einfache Weise Unebenheiten des Bodens 31 ausgeglichen werden. Dadurch, daß die Wandelemente aufgrund der Schraubfüße 32 vom Boden 31 beabstandet sind, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Vierkantrohr-Profil 33 an seiner Unterseite eine sich in den Innenraum der Kabine erstreckende und auf dem Kabinenboden 31 dichtend aufliegende Dichtlippe 34, die vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder einem gleichartig elastischen Material besteht, aufweist.According to the invention, height-adjustable feet 32 are arranged on the lower ends of the wall elements facing the cabin floor 31. For this purpose, a groove extending in the direction of the wall 1 and extending into the profile troughs 3 is formed at the lower ends of the wall elements, into which square tube profiles 33, which form a base frame, are inserted. The square tube profiles 33 have vertically arranged threaded holes spaced apart from one another in the direction of the wall 1, into which the feet 32 designed as screw feet are screwed in such a way that they can be adjusted in height. As a result, unevenness in the floor 31 can be compensated for in a simple manner. Characterized in that the wall elements are spaced from the floor 31 due to the screw feet 32, it is advantageous if the square tube profile 33 on its underside extends into the interior of the cabin and sealingly rests on the cabin floor 31 sealing lip 34, which is preferably made of rubber or a similar elastic material.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 bis 3 zu erkennen ist, ist erfindungsgemäß in Sitzhöhe oberhalb des Kabinenbodens 31 eine aus einzelnen, gegeneinander beabstandeten Lattenprofilen 36 bestehende Sitzbank 37 an den Seitenwänden 1 befestigt. Um ähnlich wie bei Saunakabinen eine Mehrstufigkeit zu erreichen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Sitzbank 37 eine ebenfalls aus einzelnen Lattenprofilen 36 bestehende Rückenlehne 38 aufweist, an die sich zwischen ihrem oberen Ende und der Seitenwand 1 eine weitere, aus einzelnen Lattenprofilen 36 bestehende Sitzbank 39 anschließt. Oberhalb der weiteren Sitzbank 39 sind an der Seitenwand 1 vorteilhafterweise Lattenprofile 41 (Fig. 2) befestigt, die eine Rückenlehne für die weitere, obere Sitzbank 39 bilden. Die Sitzbänke 37 und 39 weisen somit erfindungsgemäß keine durchgehenden Sitzflächen auf, so daß ein Ansammeln von Kondenswasser oder Schweiß auf den Sitzbankflächen verhindert wird.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, a seat 37 consisting of individual, spaced-apart slatted profiles 36 is fastened to the side walls 1 at seat height above the cabin floor 31. In order to achieve a multi-stage similar to sauna cabins, it is advantageous if the seat 37 has a backrest 38, which also consists of individual slatted profiles 36, to which there is another seat 39 consisting of individual slatted profiles 36 between its upper end and the side wall 1 connects. Slatted profiles 41 (FIG. 2), which form a backrest for the further, upper seat 39, are advantageously attached to the side wall 1 above the further seat 39. The benches 37 and 39 thus have no continuous seating surfaces according to the invention, so that the accumulation of condensation or sweat on the seating surfaces is prevented.

Bei einer derart ausgebildeten mehrstufigen Dampfbadkabine ist erfindüngsgemäß vorgesehen, daß unterhalb der Sitzbänke 37, 39 eine Dampfzuführleitung 42 vorzugsweise mit leichtem Gefälle in Richtung ihres freien Endes 43 verläuft, in der auf die Sitzflächen der Sitzbänke 37, 39 gerichtete Dampf-Austrittsöffnungen 44 sowie vorzugsweise am freien Ende 43 eine Kondenswasser-Ablauföffnung ausgebildet sind. Die Dampfzuführleitung 42 verläuft oberhalb des Kabinenbodens 31 parallel zu den Kabinen seitenwänden 1 mit Ausnahme der die Kabinentür 14 aufweisenden Seitenwand und ist mit einem außerhalb der Kabine angeordneten Dampferzeuger verbunden. Die Austrittsöffnungen 44 haben vorzugsweise einen Durchmesser von ca. 4 bis 8 mm und sind derart angeordnet, daß der Dampf aus ihnen senkrecht nach oben und/oder schräg nach oben oder waagerecht nach innen in den Kabineninnenraum austritt. Aufgrund ihres leichten Gefälles in Richtung des freien Endes 43 und die hier vorgesehene Kondenswasser-Ablauföffnung kann stets in der Leitung anfallendes Kondenswasser abfließen.In such a multi-stage steam bath cabin designed in accordance with the invention that below the benches 37, 39 a steam supply line 42 preferably runs with a slight slope in the direction of its free end 43, in which steam outlet openings 44 directed towards the seating surfaces of the benches 37, 39 and preferably on free end 43 a condensate drain opening are formed. The steam supply line 42 runs above the cabin floor 31 parallel to the cabin side walls 1 with the exception of the side wall having the cabin door 14 and is connected to a steam generator arranged outside the cabin. The outlet openings 44 preferably have a diameter of approximately 4 to 8 mm and are arranged in such a way that the steam emerges from them vertically upwards and / or exits diagonally upwards or horizontally inwards into the cabin interior. Due to its slight gradient in the direction of the free end 43 and the condensate drain opening provided here, condensate accumulating in the line can always flow off.

Durch die vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Dampfbadkabine kann der aus der Dampfzuführleitung 42 austretende Dampf durch die Lattenprofile 36 der Sitzbänke 37, 39 hindurchtreten und so die auf den Sitzflächen sitzenden Personen unmittelbar umspülen. Dabei wird durch die Führung der Dampfzuführleitung 42 entlang den Seitenwänden 1 auch eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Dampfes innerhalb der erfindungsgmäßen Kabine bewirkt. Diese gleichmäßige Verteilung verhindert auch ein Temperaturgefälle innerhalb der Kabine, insbesondere im Aufenthaltsbereich, d. h. der Sitzbänke 37, 39.As a result of the advantageous embodiment of the steam bath cabin according to the invention, the steam emerging from the steam supply line 42 can pass through the slatted profiles 36 of the bench seats 37, 39 and thus directly wash around the people sitting on the seating surfaces. In this case, by guiding the steam supply line 42 along the side walls 1, the steam is evenly distributed within the cabin according to the invention. This even distribution also prevents a temperature gradient within the cabin, especially in the lounge area, i.e. H. the seats 37, 39.

Die erfindungsgemäß ausgestalteten Sitzbänke 37, 39 können über entsprechende Befestigungsvorrichtungen an der Innenseite der Seitenwände 1 befestigt werden. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine stützenfreie Ausbildung der Sitzbänke, wodurch die Reinigung des Kabinenbodens leicht möglich ist. Die Reinigungsmöglichkeit der Kabine wird noch verbessert, wenn die Sitzbänke verschiebbar als Schiebeliege ausgebildet sind.The benches 37, 39 designed according to the invention can be fastened to the inside of the side walls 1 via corresponding fastening devices. This results in a support-free design of the benches, which makes cleaning the cabin floor easy. The possibility of cleaning the cabin is further improved if the benches are designed to be displaceable as a sliding couch.

Der von dem Dampferzeuger erzeugte Dampf wird erfindungsgemäß zunächst über eine außerhalb der Kabine angeordnete Dampf/Luft-Mischdüse 46 geführt, mittels der dem Dampf regelbar Frischluft beigemischt werden kann, so daß vorteilhafterweise in der Kabine aus der Dampfzuführleitung 42 bereits ein Dampf-/Luftgemisch mit der gewünschten Zusammensetzung und Temperatur austritt. Die Dampf/Luft-Mischdüse 46 arbeitet nach dem Wirkungsprinzip einer Strömungs-oder Wasserstrahlpumpe und besteht gemäß Fig. 11 erfindungsgemäß aus einem mit dem Dampferzeuger verbundenen Eintrittsrohr 47 und einem mit der Dampfzuführleitung 42 verbundenen Austrittsrohr 48. Das Eintrittsrohr 47 weist an seinem dem Austrittsrohr 48 zugekehrten Ende eine Verbindungsplatte 49 auf, die mit einem ringförmigen Verbindungsansatz 51 des Austrittsrohrs 48 verbunden, vorzugsweise verschraubt ist. Das Eintrittsrohr 47 mündet in einem in dem Verbindungsansatz 51 ausgebildeten trichterförmigen Hohlraum 52. Die Verbindungsplatte 49 weist im Bereich des Hohlraums 52 Luftdurchtrittsbohrungen 53 auf. Auf einem Außengewinde 54 des Eintrittsrohrs 47 sitzt verstellbar ein Einstellring 55, der einen die Verbindungsplatte 49 außen umgreifenden Ringansatz 56 aufweist, der mit der Außenfläche 57 des Verbindungsansatzes 51 einen einstellbaren Ringspalt 58 bildet Aufgrund der Dampfströmung durch das Eintrittsrohr 47 und das Austrittsrohr 48 wird in dem Hohlraum 52 ein Unterdruck erzeugt, wodurch Luft durch den Ringspalt 58 und die Bohrungen 53, d. h. in Pfeilrichtung 59 einströmt und sich mit dem Dampf vermischt. Dabei ist es auch möglich, den Ringspalt 58 vollständig zu verschließen.According to the invention, the steam generated by the steam generator is first passed through a steam / air mixing nozzle 46 arranged outside the cabin, by means of which fresh air can be added to the steam in a controllable manner, so that advantageously a steam / air mixture is already present in the cabin from the steam supply line 42 the desired composition and temperature emerges. The steam / air mixing nozzle 46 works according to the principle of operation of a flow or water jet pump and, according to FIG. 11, according to the invention consists of an inlet pipe 47 connected to the steam generator and an outlet pipe 48 connected to the steam supply line 42. The inlet pipe 47 has the outlet pipe 48 on it facing end of a connecting plate 49, which is connected to an annular connecting projection 51 of the outlet pipe 48, preferably screwed. The inlet pipe 47 opens into a funnel-shaped cavity 52 formed in the connection projection 51. The connection plate 49 has air passage bores 53 in the region of the cavity 52. An adjusting ring 55 is adjustably seated on an external thread 54 of the inlet pipe 47, which has an annular shoulder 56 which surrounds the connecting plate 49 on the outside and which forms an adjustable annular gap 58 with the outer surface 57 of the connecting shoulder 51 the cavity 52 creates a negative pressure, whereby air through the annular gap 58 and the bores 53, i. H. flows in the direction of arrow 59 and mixes with the steam. It is also possible to completely close the annular gap 58.

Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Dampf/Luft-Mischdüse 46 kann es bei einstufigen Dampfbadkabinen ausreichend sein, lediglich in mindestens einer Kabinenecke eine Dampfeintrittsdüse 61 (Fig. 9) anzuordnen, da es durch eine Vermischung des Dampfes mit kühler Luft nicht zu Verbrennungen durch heißen Dampf kommen kann.On account of the steam / air mixing nozzle 46 provided according to the invention, it may be sufficient for single-stage steam bath cabins to arrange a steam inlet nozzle 61 (FIG. 9) only in at least one cabin corner, since mixing the steam with cool air does not result in burns from hot steam can.

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auch auf eine bestimmte Führung der Abluft. Hierfür sind in den Ecken der Kabine, mindestens in zwei Ecken, vorzugsweise in allen Ecken der erfindungsgemäßen Kabine, Abluftkamine 62 ausgebildet, deren Eintrittsöffnung unterhalb der Sitzfläche der Sitzbank 37, und zwar etwa 25 cm oberhalb des Kabinenbodens 31 und deren Austrittsöffnung im Dachbereich ausgebildet ist. Diese Abluftkamine 62 weisen vorteilhafterweise einen dreieckigen Querschnitt auf, und die Dreieckseiten werden von den in der Ecke aneinanderstoßenden Seitenwandabschnitten und einem Verblendprofil 63 gebildet. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Abluftkamine, d. h. ihre Eintrittsöffnungen, möglichst über den Kabinenumfang gegeneinander gleiche Abstände aufweisen, wodurch eine optimale Entlüftung des Kabinenraums erreicht wird. Durch die Anordnung der Abluftkamine innerhalb der Kabinenecken wird ein an sich nicht zu nutzender Kabineninnenraum zweckmäßig genutzt, und es ist nur zusätzlich ein Verblendprofil pro Kamin erforderlich. Auch ist der Verlauf des Kamins innerhalb des Kabineninnenraums günstig, da hierdurch die Kaminwirkung verbessert wird. Weiterhin kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, den Austrittsquerschnitt der Kamine veränderbar auszugestalten, so daß die Abluftableitung im Hinblick auf verschiende Badgrößen erfolgen kann. So kann beispielsweise in der Aufheizphase hierdurch eine völlige Schließung der Abluftkamine erfolgen.The present invention also relates to a specific guidance of the exhaust air. For this purpose, exhaust air chimneys 62 are formed in the corners of the cabin, at least in two corners, preferably in all corners of the cabin according to the invention, the inlet opening of which is formed below the seat surface of the seat 37, approximately 25 cm above the cabin floor 31 and the outlet opening of which is in the roof area . These exhaust air chimneys 62 advantageously have a triangular cross section, and the triangular sides are formed by the side wall sections abutting in the corner and a facing profile 63. It is advantageous if the exhaust air chimneys, ie. H. their inlet openings have the same spacing from one another, if possible, over the circumference of the cabin, as a result of which optimal ventilation of the cabin space is achieved. Due to the arrangement of the exhaust air chimneys within the cabin corners, a cabin interior that is not to be used is expediently used, and only one veneer profile per chimney is required. The course of the chimney inside the cabin is also favorable, since this improves the chimney effect. Furthermore, it can be provided according to the invention to make the outlet cross section of the chimneys changeable, so that the exhaust air can be discharged with regard to different bath sizes. Thus, for example, the exhaust air chimneys can be completely closed in the heating phase.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist in mindestens einer Kabinenecke eine Aufgußvorrichtung für Duftstoffe oder dergleichen angeordnet. Eine erste Ausführungsform einer derartigen Aufgußvorrichtung 64 ist in Fig. 9 dargestellt. Diese Ausführung findet insbesondere bei einstufigen Dampfbadkabinen Verwendung. Sie besteht aus einem Behälter 65, der einen im Bereich der Dampfeintrittsdüse 61 angeordneten Ablauf 66 aufweist. Wie dargestellt, kann der Behälter 65 im Querschnitt dreieckig ausgebildet sein. Vorteilhafterweise weist der Behälter 65 in seinem mittigen Bereich einen trichterförmig ausgebildeten und in den Ablauf 66 mündenden Boden 67 auf, unterhalb dessen die Dampfeintrittsdüse 61 in den Behälter 65 mündet. Der Behälter 65 ist zur Bildung einer Dampfaustrittsöffnung 68 an seinem unteren Ende offen ausgebildet. Das offene, die Dampfaustrittsöffnung 68 bildende Ende des Behälters 65 liegt dabei etwa 30 cm. oberhalb des Kabinenbodens 31. An seinem oberen Ende weist der Behälter 65 eine Einfüllöffnung 69 auf, durch die Duftstoffe, z. B. ätherische Öle, wie sie auch in der Sauna verwendet werden, eingefüllt werden können. Diese Duftstoffe vermischen sich mit dem aus der Dampfaustrittsdüse 61 austretenden Dampf bzw. Dampf-/Luftgemisch, und strömen aus der Dampfaustrittsöffnung in die Kabine.According to an advantageous development of the invention, an infusion device for fragrances or the like is arranged in at least one cabin corner. A first embodiment of such an infusion device 64 is shown in FIG. 9. This version is used particularly in single-stage steam bath cabins. It consists of a container 65 which has an outlet 66 arranged in the area of the steam inlet nozzle 61. As shown, the container 65 can be triangular in cross section. Advantageously, the container 65 has in its central region a funnel-shaped bottom 67 opening into the outlet 66, below which the steam inlet nozzle 61 opens into the container 65. The container 65 is designed to be open at its lower end to form a steam outlet opening 68. The open end of the container 65 forming the steam outlet opening 68 is approximately 30 cm. Above the cabin floor 31. At its upper end, the container 65 has a fill opening 69 through which fragrances, e.g. B. essential oils, such as those used in the sauna, can be filled. These fragrances mix with that from the Steam outlet nozzle 61 emerging steam or steam / air mixture, and flow out of the steam outlet opening into the cabin.

Alternativ zu dieser Ausbildung ist für mehrstufige Kabinen, die eine Dampfzuführleitung 42 aufweisen, eine Aufgußvorrichtung 70 (Fig. 10) vorgesehen, die aus einem Behälter 71 besteht, der einen über eine Rohr- oder Schlauchleitung 72 mit der Dampfzuführleitung 42 verbundenen Ablauf 73 aufweist. Der Behälter 71 ist - ebenso wie der Behälter 65 der Aufgußvorrichtung 64 im Querschnitt dreieckig ausgebildet. Er weist einen trichterförmigen, in den Ablauf 73 mündenden Boden 74 auf. Die durch eine obere Einfüllöffnung 75 eingefüllten Duftstoffe gelangen über die Leitung 72 in die Dampfzuführleitung 42, wo sie zusammen mit dem Dampf in die Kabine strömen.As an alternative to this design, an infusion device 70 (FIG. 10) is provided for multi-stage cabins which have a steam supply line 42 and which consists of a container 71 which has an outlet 73 connected to the steam supply line 42 via a pipe or hose line 72. The container 71 - like the container 65 of the infusion device 64 - is triangular in cross section. It has a funnel-shaped bottom 74 opening into the outlet 73. The fragrances filled through an upper filling opening 75 pass via line 72 into the steam supply line 42, where they flow into the cabin together with the steam.

Bei beiden Ausführungen der Aufgußvorrichtungen 64 und 70 kann es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß der Ablauf 66, 73 des Behälters 65, 71 ein Dosierventil (nicht dargestellt) aufweist, so daß die Zugabe von Duftstoffen vorteilhafterweise regelbar ist.In both versions of the infusion devices 64 and 70 it can be provided according to the invention that the outlet 66, 73 of the container 65, 71 has a metering valve (not shown), so that the addition of fragrances can advantageously be regulated.

Zusammenfassend bietet die erfindungsgemäße Dampfbadkabine folgende Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Ausbildungen:

  • Mehrstufigkeit der Sitzbänke (auch drei oder mehrstufige Kabinen möglich)
  • leichte Montage durch Bodenrahmen, Wandelemente und Dachrahmen mit Dachelementen, wobei Niveauunterschiede des Raumbodens ausgleichbar sind
  • die Badenden sitzen ohne Verbrennungsgefahr näher am Dampfeintritt, wodurch niedrigere Dampftemperaturen ausreichend sind; Folge: Energieersparnis
  • verschiedenfarbige Ausgestaltung des Kabineninnenraums möglich
  • individuelle Aufgußmöglichkeit von Duftstoffen oder dergleichen
  • Vorraum vor der Kabine durch Kondenswasserrinne der Tür stets trocken.
In summary, the steam bath cabin according to the invention offers the following advantages over conventional designs:
  • Multi-stage seating (three or multi-stage cabins also possible)
  • Easy assembly thanks to floor frames, wall elements and roof frames with roof elements, whereby level differences in the room floor can be compensated for
  • the bathers sit closer to the steam inlet without risk of burns, which means that lower steam temperatures are sufficient; Result: energy saving
  • Different color design of the cabin interior possible
  • individual infusion of fragrances or the like
  • The vestibule in front of the cabin is always dry thanks to the condensation drainage channel in the door.
