Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Duschabtrennung mit einem Wandelement gemäß den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a shower partition with a wall element according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE-U-84 08 029 ist eine derartige Duschabtrennung bekannt, deren Quertraverse als eine stabförmige Eckstrebe ausgebildet ist. Diese Eckstrebe ist mittels Winkeloder Anschlußstücken einerseits mit einem Wandelement und andererseits an einer feststehenden Wand befestigt. Das Wandelement enthält eine Kunststoffscheibe und an deren oberen Rand eine Rahmenleiste, an welcher das eine Anschlußstück oben mittels Schrauben befestigt ist. Die für die Schrauben erforderlichen Bohrungen werden in der oberen Rahmenleiste bei der Montage der Duschabtrennung vor Ort angeordnet. Der Fertigungs- und Montageaufwand ist insoweit nicht unerheblich, da üblicherweise das Wandelement bei der Montage bezüglich der feststehenden Wand ausgerichtet wird oder zum Ausgleich von bauseits bedingten Toleranzen Ausgleichsprofile vorgesehen werden, ist eine Vorfertigung der Verbindung und insbesondere das Einbringen der genannten Bohrungen in die obere Rahmenleiste werksseitig bei der Herstellung nicht ohne weiteres möglich.Such a shower partition is known from DE-U-84 08 029, the crossbar of which is designed as a rod-shaped corner strut. This corner strut is fastened on the one hand with a wall element and on the other hand to a fixed wall by means of angle or connecting pieces. The wall element contains a plastic disc and on its upper edge a frame strip, on which the one connector is attached at the top by means of screws. The holes required for the screws are in the Upper frame ledge arranged when installing the shower enclosure on site. The manufacturing and assembly effort is not insignificant, since usually the wall element is aligned during assembly with respect to the fixed wall or compensation profiles are provided to compensate for tolerances caused by the customer, prefabrication of the connection and in particular the introduction of the holes mentioned in the upper frame strip not readily possible at the factory during manufacture.

Ferner ist aus der DE-A-33 26 790 eine Duschabtrennung bekannt, deren aus Sicherheitsglas bestehendes Wandelement an der einen vertikalen Längskante mittels einer Rahmenprofilschiene an der feststehenden Wand befestigt ist. An der anderen vertikalen Längskante ist ein Eckprofil vorgesehen, welches sich vom Boden bis zur Decke des Duschraumes erstreckt. Mittels des Eckprofils soll eine stabile Befestigung des Wandelements erfolgen. Eine feste Verankerung dieses Eckprofils kann zu nicht unerheblichen Montageschwierigkeiten führen. Handelt es sich beispielsweise um eine abgehängte Decke, wie es oftmals in Altbauten mit ursprünglich sehr hohen Decken der Fall sein kann, so läßt sich ein derart durchgehendes Eckprofil nicht ohne weiteres an der Decke abfangen. Ferner können bei Holzdecken Montageschwierigkeiten dadurch sich ergeben, daß über dem Eckpfosten kein Deckenbalken liegt, welcher eine stabile Befestigung ermöglichen würde; zusätzliche Querverstrebungen oder dergleichen werden bei entsprechendem Montageaufwand erforderlich. Für Räume mit unterschiedlichen Deckenhöhen muß das Eckprofil auf die erforderliche Länge gebracht werden oder es müssen zusätzliche Verlängerungsprofile oder dergleichen bereitgestellt werden, welche einen entsprechenden Aufwand in der Fertigung und Lagerhaltung erfordern.Furthermore, from DE-A-33 26 790 a shower partition is known, the wall element made of safety glass is attached to the one vertical longitudinal edge by means of a frame profile rail on the fixed wall. A corner profile is provided on the other vertical longitudinal edge, which extends from the floor to the ceiling of the shower room. By means of the corner profile, a stable fastening of the wall element should take place. Firmly anchoring this corner profile can lead to not inconsiderable installation difficulties. If, for example, a suspended ceiling is involved, as can often be the case in old buildings with originally very high ceilings, such a continuous corner profile cannot be easily intercepted on the ceiling. Furthermore, with wooden ceilings, assembly difficulties can result from the fact that none over the corner post Ceiling beams, which would allow a stable attachment; Additional cross struts or the like are required with appropriate assembly effort. For rooms with different ceiling heights, the corner profile must be brought to the required length or additional extension profiles or the like must be provided, which require a corresponding effort in production and storage.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Duschabtrennung der eingangs genannten Art mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß die Montage im Hinblick auf die horizontale Ausrichtung und den Ausgleich des Wandelements in einfacher Weise durchführbar ist und gleichwohl eine stabile und funktionssichere Aufstellung gewährleistet wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of further developing the shower partition of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the assembly can be carried out in a simple manner with regard to the horizontal alignment and the compensation of the wall element and nevertheless a stable and functionally reliable installation is ensured.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved according to the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die vorgeschlagene Duschabtrennung weist einen funktionsgerechten und kostengünstigen Aufbau auf und gewährleistet bei geringem Materialeinsatz eine gute Stabilität des Wandelements. Die Quertraverse enthält eine horizontale Bodenplatte und einen umlaufenden Rand, wobei durch die somit erreichte U-förmige Querschnittsform eine gute Stabilität mit geringem Materialeinsatz erreicht wird. Die Quertraverse kann in einfacher Weise, insbesondere durch Spritzgießen aus Kunststoff oder Metall hergestellt werden. Die in den Randteilen der Quertraverse angeordneten Anlageflächen ermöglichen eine zuverlässige Befestigung, wobei die Größe der Anlageflächen zur Vermeidung von hohen Flächenpressungen problemlos vorgegeben werden kann. Insbesondere bei Ausbildung des Wandelements aus einer Glasplatte wird eine Beschädigung im Verbindungsbereich zwischen der Quertraverse und der Glasplatte zuverlässig vermieden. Die Quertraverse kann in einem vorgebbaren Abstand unterhalb der Oberkante des Wandelements angeordnet werden, wodurch das Einbringen des Langloches in das Wandelement problemlos erfolgen kann, ohne daß eine Beschädigung oder gar das Zerspringen des gesamten Wandelements zu befürchten ist. Das als Glasplatte ausgebildete Wandelement kann mit seinen beiden vertikalen Längskanten jeweils in eine vertikale Profilschiene eingesetzt sein. Die der Raumwand zugeordnete Profilschiene ist zusammen mit der Glasplatte bezüglich einer Wandprofilschiene bei der Montage problemlos zwecks Ausrichtung und zum Ausgleich von bauseits bedingten Ungenauigkeiten und Toleranzen in horizontaler Richtung ausrichtbar, wobei nachfolgend mittels eines Befestigungselements die Profilschiene zusammen mit der Glasplatte bezüglich der genannten Wandprofilschiene festzulegen ist.The proposed shower partition has a functional and cost-effective structure and ensures good stability of the wall element with little use of material. The crossbeam contains a horizontal base plate and a circumferential edge, whereby the U-shaped cross-sectional shape thus achieved achieves good stability with little use of material becomes. The crossbar can be produced in a simple manner, in particular by injection molding from plastic or metal. The contact surfaces arranged in the edge parts of the crossbeam enable reliable fastening, the size of the contact surfaces being able to be predefined without problems in order to avoid high surface pressures. In particular when the wall element is formed from a glass plate, damage in the connection area between the crossbar and the glass plate is reliably avoided. The crossmember can be arranged at a predeterminable distance below the upper edge of the wall element, as a result of which the elongated hole can be made in the wall element without fear of damage or even breaking of the entire wall element. The wall element designed as a glass plate can be inserted with its two vertical longitudinal edges into a vertical profile rail. The profile rail assigned to the room wall can be aligned with the glass plate with respect to a wall profile rail during assembly without any problems for the purpose of alignment and to compensate for inaccuracies and tolerances caused by the customer, in which case the profile rail must be fixed together with the glass plate with respect to the aforementioned wall profile rail using a fastening element .

Eine wesentliche Erleichterung der Montage ergibt sich aufgrund der Verbindung der Quertraverse mit dem Wandelement bzw. der Glasplatte über das Langloch. Bei der Montage werden zunächst die Wandprofilschiene und die Quertraverse an der Raumwand, beispielsweise mittels Dübeln und entsprechenden Schrauben, in gewohnter Weise verbunden. Nachfolgend kann das Wandelement über die genannte Profilschiene lose mit der Wandprofilschiene in Verbindung gebracht werden und ferner kann eine zunächst noch lose Verbindung des Wandelementes mit der Querstrebe hergestellt werden. Mittels der Querstrebe erfolgt bereits während der Montage zuverlässig eine Sicherung der vergleichsweise schweren Glasplatte bzw. des Wandelementes. Danach kann die Glasplatte durch Verschieben vor allem in horizontaler Richtung in der gewünschten Weise bezüglich der Raumwand ausgerichtet werden, wobei mittels der Quertraverse ein Umkippen vermieden wird. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Quertraverse kann die Montage der vergleichsweise schweren Glasplatte von einer einzigen Person durchgeführt werden.The assembly is considerably easier due to the connection of the crossbar to the wall element or the glass plate via the elongated hole. During assembly, the wall profile rail and the crossbar are first connected to the room wall, for example using dowels and appropriate screws, in the usual way. Subsequently, the wall element can be loosely connected to the wall profile rail by means of the above-mentioned profile rail and, furthermore, an initially still loose connection of the wall element to the cross strut can be produced. The cross strut reliably secures the comparatively heavy glass plate or wall element during assembly. The glass plate can then be aligned in the desired manner with respect to the wall of the room, particularly in the horizontal direction, with the cross-beam preventing tipping over. Due to the crossbar provided according to the invention, the comparatively heavy glass plate can be assembled by a single person.

Die Quertraverse wird zweckmäßigerweise im Innenraum der Duschabtrennung angeordnet und tritt folglich nach außen hin nicht störend in Erscheinung. Ein langes bis zur Decke durchgehendes Eckprofil ist entbehrlich. Vorzugsweise liegt die Quertraverse direkt an der Innenfläche des Glasplatte des Wandelementes an. Falls eine Eckprofilschiene vorgesehen ist, die sich nur über die gesamte Höhe der Duschabtrennung erstreckt, so kann diese problemlos auch mit wesentlich geringeren Wandstärken ausgebildet sein, wodurch nicht unwesentliche Materialeinsparungen erzielt werden.The crossbar is expediently arranged in the interior of the shower partition and consequently does not appear to be a nuisance to the outside. A long corner profile that runs all the way to the ceiling is unnecessary. The crossbar preferably lies directly on the inner surface of the glass plate of the wall element. If a corner profile rail is provided, which extends only over the entire height of the shower partition, then this can also be designed with significantly smaller wall thicknesses without any problems, as a result of which considerable material savings are achieved.

Die Quertraverse enthält eine Bodenplatte und wird im wesentlichen in einer horizontalen Ebene angeordnet und kann gleichzeitig auch zur Ablage von Seife oder sonstigen Duschutensilien ausgebildet sein. Die horizontal angeordnete Bodenplatte ist von einem sich in vertikaler Richtung erstreckenden Rand umgeben, der sich in der horizontalen Ebene über den gesamten Umfang der Quertraverse durchgehend erstreckt. In einer vertikalen Schnittebene weist somit die Quertraverse einen im Prinzip U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei ggf. durch Verlängerung des Randes in die andere Richtung auch ein H-förmiger Querschnitt im Rahmen dieser Erfindung vorgegeben werden kann. Aufgrund dieses insbesondere U-förmigen Querschnittes weist die Quertraverse bei geringem Materialeinsatz und geringem Gewicht und ferner bei geringen Wandstärken sowohl der Bodenplatte als auch des umlaufenden Randes eine hohe Steifigkeit und Festigkeit auf. Vorzugsweise ist die erste Anlagefläche im Vergleich zur Gesamtlänge der Quertraverse wesentlich kleiner, so daß im übrigen ein freier Zwischenraum zum Wandelement hin vorhanden ist. Eine gewisse Elastizität und Nachgiebigkeit des Wandelementes und dessen übrige Lagerung wird also zugelassen, während die Quertraverse demgegenüber vergleichsweise steif ausgebildet ist. Eine Verspannung des Wandelementes wird vermieden, zumal das Wandelement mit elastischen Mitteln mittels der Profilschiene an der Raumwand angeordnet sein kann.The crossbeam contains a base plate and is arranged essentially in a horizontal plane and can at the same time also be designed for storing soap or other shower utensils. The horizontally arranged base plate is of an edge extending in the vertical direction surrounded, which extends continuously in the horizontal plane over the entire circumference of the crossbar. In a vertical sectional plane, the cross-member thus has a cross-section which is in principle U-shaped, it being possible for an H-shaped cross-section to be specified in the context of this invention, if appropriate by extending the edge in the other direction. Because of this particularly U-shaped cross-section, the cross-beam has a high level of rigidity and strength with low use of material and low weight and also with small wall thicknesses of both the base plate and the peripheral edge. Preferably, the first contact surface is significantly smaller compared to the total length of the crossbar, so that there is also a free space to the wall element. A certain elasticity and resilience of the wall element and the rest of its storage is therefore permitted, while the cross-beam is comparatively stiff. Tensioning of the wall element is avoided, especially since the wall element can be arranged on the room wall with elastic means by means of the profile rail.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand des in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1 zeigt eine Ansicht der Duschabtrennung, welche über einer Duschwanne 42 angeordnet ist und einen Drehflügel 2 sowie ein Wandelement 80 enthält. Die Duschwanne 42 ist im Eck zwischen zwei feststehenden Wänden bzw. Raumwänden 10 angeordnet. Das Wandelement 80 besteht aus einer Glasplatte und ist im Bereich der einen vertikalen Längskante in einer Profilschiene 11 angeordnet, welche bezüglich einer mit der Raumwand 10 fest verbundenen Wandprofilschiene 15 einstellbar verbunden ist. An der anderen vertikalen Längskante des Wandelementes 80 ist eine Eckprofilschiene 36 angeordnet. Schließlich befindet sich an der Oberkante des Wandelementes 80 eine Querstrebe 17, mittels welcher einerseits eine Versteifung des Wandelementes 80 und andererseits eine Verbindung zwischen der Eckprofilschiene 36 und der Rahmenprofilschiene 11 erreicht wird. Auch der Drehflügel 2 enthält eine solche Querstrebe 17.Figure 1 shows a view of the shower partition, which is arranged above a shower tray 42 and contains a rotating wing 2 and a wall element 80. The shower tray 42 is arranged in the corner between two fixed walls or room walls 10. The wall element 80 consists of a glass plate and is arranged in the region of the one vertical longitudinal edge in a profile rail 11 which is adjustably connected with respect to a wall profile rail 15 which is firmly connected to the room wall 10. A corner profile rail 36 is arranged on the other vertical longitudinal edge of the wall element 80. Finally, on the upper edge of the wall element 80 there is a cross strut 17, by means of which on the one hand a stiffening of the wall element 80 and on the other hand a connection between the corner rail 36 and the frame rail 11 is achieved. The rotary wing 2 also contains such a cross strut 17th

Zur stabilen Abfangung des Wandelementes 80 befindet sich im Innenraum, also über der Duschwanne 42 eine Quertraverse 21, welche einerseits an der Raumwand 10 und andererseits direkt an der Innenseite des als Glasplatte ausgebildeten Wandelementes 80 mit entsprechenden Anlageflächen anliegt und mittels Befestigungselementen befestigt ist. Auf der hier sichtbaren Vorderseite des Wandelementes 18 ist lediglich eine Abdeckung 23 zu erkennen, mittels welcher die Befestigungsmittel, und zwar insbesondere Schrauben, abgedeckt werden. Die Quertraverse 21 ist als eine Winkelstütze ausgebildet und ist aufgrund der transparenten Ausbildung des Wandelementes, insbesondere aus Glas, von außen her erkennbar. Die Quertraverse 21 wird im Rahmen dieser Erfindung im oberen Drittel der Gesamthöhe des Wandelementes 80 angeordnet, um eine gute Stabilisierungswirkung zu erreichen. Ferner wird im Rahmen dieser Erfindung die Quertraverse 21 in der Weise angeordnet, daß deren Unterkante 25 im wesentlichen auf der gleichen Höhe liegt wie die Unterkante eines oberen Scharnieres 6 des Drehflügels 2. An der Unterkante des Drehflügels befindet sich ein unteres Scharnier 4. Diese symmetrische Anordnung von Scharnier und Quertraverse bietet Gewähr für einen guten optischen Gesamteindruck.For stable interception of the wall element 80, there is a crossbar 21 in the interior, i.e. above the shower tray 42, which, on the one hand, bears against the room wall 10 and, on the other hand, directly against the inside of the wall element 80 designed as a glass plate with corresponding contact surfaces and is fastened by means of fastening elements. On the front side of the wall element 18 visible here, only a cover 23 can be seen, by means of which the fastening means, in particular screws, are covered. The crossbar 21 is designed as an angle support and is, in particular, due to the transparent design of the wall element made of glass, recognizable from the outside. In the context of this invention, the crossbar 21 is arranged in the upper third of the total height of the wall element 80 in order to achieve a good stabilizing effect. Furthermore, in the context of this invention, the crossbar 21 is arranged in such a way that its lower edge 25 is substantially at the same height as the lower edge of an upper hinge 6 of the rotary wing 2. At the lower edge of the rotary wing there is a lower hinge 4. This symmetrical The arrangement of the hinge and cross-beam guarantees a good overall visual impression.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf die Duschabtrennung, wobei nunmehr die im Innenraum der Duschabtrennung über der Duschwanne 42 angeordnete Quertraverse 21 gut zu erkennen ist. Die Quertraverse 21 weist, in einer vertikalen Schnittebene betrachtet, einen etwa U-förmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei über einer Bodenplatte 27 ein Rand 29 vertikal nach oben vorsteht. Der Rand 29 verläuft über den gesamten Umfang der in etwa dreieckförmig ausgebildeten Quertraverse 21, wobei in Verbindung mit der horizontalen Bodenplatte 27 bei Vergleichsweise geringen Wandstärken von Bodenplatte 27 und Rand 29 eine hohe Steifigkeit erzielt wird. Die Quertraverse 21 dient auch als Ablage für Seife oder sonstige Duschutensilien. Im rechten Winkel zum Wandelement 80 ist der Drehflügel 2 angeordnet, welcher mittels des Scharnieres 6 an einem Ausgleichsprofil 20 angelenkt ist. Es ist hier das obere Scharnier 6 zu erkennen und ein entsprechend ausgebildetes Scharnier ist an den Unterkante des Drehflügels 2 ebenfalls vorgesehen. Das obere Scharnier 6 enthält einen mit dem Ausgleichsprofil 20 verbundenen Scharnierhalter 14, bezüglich welchem ein mit dem Drehflügel 2 verbundener Scharnierarm 24 um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar ist. Der Drehflügel 2 kann in Richtung des Pfeiles 82 aufgeschwenkt werden, um die zwischen dem Ausgleichsprofil 20 und der Eckprofilschiene 36 vorhandene Einstiegsöffnung freizugeben.FIG. 2 shows a top view of the shower partition, the crossbar 21 arranged in the interior of the shower partition above the shower tray 42 now being clearly visible. The crossbar 21, viewed in a vertical sectional plane, has an approximately U-shaped cross section, an edge 29 projecting vertically upward above a base plate 27. The edge 29 runs over the entire circumference of the approximately triangular cross-member 21, a high degree of rigidity being achieved in connection with the horizontal base plate 27 with comparatively small wall thicknesses of the base plate 27 and edge 29. The crossbar 21 also serves as a shelf for soap or other shower utensils. At right angles to the wall element 80, the rotary wing 2 is arranged, which is hinged to a compensating profile 20 by means of the hinge 6. The upper hinge 6 can be seen here and a correspondingly designed hinge is also provided on the lower edge of the rotary wing 2. The upper hinge 6 contains a hinge holder 14 connected to the compensating profile 20, with respect to which a hinge arm 24 connected to the rotary wing 2 can be pivoted about a vertical axis. The rotary wing 2 can be swung open in the direction of arrow 82 in order to open the access opening present between the compensating profile 20 and the corner profile rail 36.

Figur 3 zeigt vergrößert die erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagene Quertraverse 21, die als ein Winkelstück mit einer ersten Anlagefläche 31 für das Wandelement 80 ausgebildet ist. Die Quertraverse 21 ist erfindungsgemäß etwa dreieckförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Bodenplatte 27 einen dem Wandelement 80 zugewandten Ansatz 63 aufweist. Die erste Anlagefläche 31 ist als die äußerste Fläche des Randteiles 67 ausgebildet, welcher den genannten Ansatz 63 umgibt. Im Rahmen dieser Erfindung können auch zwei oder mehrere derartige Quertraversen vertikal beabstandet vorgesehen sein. Die Quertraverse 21 weist ferner eine zweite Anlagefläche 33 auf, die an der Raumwand 10 anliegt und befestigt ist. Auch diese zweite Anlagefläche 33 ist Bestandteil des um die Bodenplatte 27 der Quertraverse 21 umlaufenden Randes 29. Die Größe der Anlageflächen, und zwar vor allem die Größe der ersten Anlagefläche 31, kann ohne weiteres entsprechend vorgegeben werden, daß große Flächenpressungen und Belastungsspitzen im Verbindungsbereich vermieden werden.FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the cross-beam 21 proposed according to the invention, which acts as an angle piece with a first contact surface 31 is designed for the wall element 80. According to the invention, the crossbar 21 is approximately triangular in shape, the base plate 27 having an extension 63 facing the wall element 80. The first contact surface 31 is designed as the outermost surface of the edge part 67, which surrounds the mentioned extension 63. Within the scope of this invention, two or more cross members of this type can also be provided vertically spaced apart. The crossbeam 21 also has a second contact surface 33 which bears against the wall 10 and is fastened. This second contact surface 33 is also part of the edge 29 surrounding the base plate 27 of the cross-beam 21. The size of the contact surfaces, and in particular the size of the first contact surface 31, can be predefined without further ado that large surface pressures and load peaks in the connection area are avoided will.

Die Länge 35 der Quertraverse 21 kann ohne weiteres zwecks Erreichung einer guten Stabilität vergleichsweise lang ausgebildet werden und kann beispielsweise etwa 40 cm groß sein. Es sei angemerkt, daß die Breite des Wandelementes in der Praxis etwa 80 bis 90 cm groß ist und erfindungsgemäß die erste Anlagefläche 31 etwa in oder auch knapp vor der Mittenebene des Wandelementes 80 sich befindet. Das Wandelement 80 weist ein sich in der horizontalen Ebene erstreckendes Langloch 37 auf, durch welches als Schrauben ausgebildete Befestigungselemente 39 durchgeschraubt sind, um das Wandelement mit der Quertraverse 21 zu verbinden. Alternativ oder auch zusätzlich kann die Quertraverse 21 im Rand 29 für die Befestigungselemente 39 gleichfalls mit einem Langloch 40 versehen sein. Aufgrund des oder auch der Langlöcher ist in einfacher Weise eine Einstellbarkeit des Wandelementes 80 bezüglich der Quertraverse 21 bzw. umgekehrt gegeben.The length 35 of the crossbeam 21 can easily be made comparatively long in order to achieve good stability and can be, for example, approximately 40 cm in size. It should be noted that in practice the width of the wall element is approximately 80 to 90 cm, and according to the invention the first contact surface 31 is located approximately in or also just in front of the center plane of the wall element 80. The wall element 80 has an elongated hole 37 which extends in the horizontal plane and through which fastening elements 39 in the form of screws are screwed in order to connect the wall element to the crossbar 21. Alternatively or additionally, the crossbar 21 can also be provided in the edge 29 for the fastening elements 39 with an elongated hole 40. Because of the or the elongated holes, the wall element 80 can be adjusted in a simple manner with respect to the crossbar 21 or vice versa.

Ferner ist die Profilschiene 11 bezüglich der Wandprofilschiene 15 einstellbar, so daß insgesamt im Rahmen dieser Erfindung zwecks einfacher Montage eine einfache Ausrichtung der einzelnen Bauteile erreicht wird. Aus dem gleichen Grund ist die Quertraverse auch bezüglich der Raumwand 10 einstellbar und weist hierzu ebenfalls Langlöcher 41, 43 auf, wobei im Rahmen dieser Erfindung das eine Langloch 41 in horizontaler Richtung und das andere Langloch 43 in vertikaler Richtung verläuft. Ein Schwenken zwecks Ausrichten in die exakt horizontale Lage wird hierdurch ermöglicht. Die Quertraverse 21 liegt mit ihrer zweiten Anlagefläche 33 an der Raumwand 10 an. Zwischen dem Ansatz 63 und der Raumwand 10 ist die Quertraverse 21 im Abstand 45 zum Wandelement 80 angeordnet. Der Teil 65 des Randes verläuft in diesem Bereich parallel zum Wandelement 80. Wie durch die strichpunktierte Linie 71 angedeutet, ist die Quertraverse 21 im wesentlichen dreieckförmig ausgebildet, wobei jedoch entsprechend dem Ansatz 63 die Quertraverse abgewinkelt ist und somit eine Winkelstütze bildet. Die beiden Anlageflächen 31 und 33 sind Außenflächen der Teile 67 und 68 des Randes 29. Diese Teile 67, 68 und ebenso die beiden Anlageflächen 31, 33 liegen in vertikalen Ebenen, die entsprechend im rechten Winkel zueinander stehen. Der am weitesten in den Innenraum über der Duschwanne reichende Teil 66 des Randes 29 ist bezüglich dem Teil 65 in einem sich zur Raumwand 10 öffnenden spitzen Winkel angeordnet. Bei der Montage der Duschabtrennung werden zunächst die Wandprofilschiene 15 und die Quertraverse 21 in gewohnter Weise mittels Dübeln oder dergleichen an der Wand 10 befestigt. Die Wandprofilschiene 15 wird hierbei exakt vertikal ausgerichtet, während die Quertraverse 21 zunächst nur provisorisch mittels den durch die Langlöcher 41 und 43 geschraubten Schrauben an der Raumwand 10 befestigt wird. Nachfolgend wird das Wandelement 80 vertikal aufgestellt und mittels den hier nur angedeuteten Schrauben 39 an der Quertraverse 21 gesichert. Aufgrund der horizontalen Anordnung des Langloches 37 in der Glasplatte des Wandelementes und/oder des Langloches 40 im Randteil 67 kann das Wandelement 80 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 75 ausgerichtet werden. Nachfolgend wird die Quertraverse 21 mit der Raumwand 10 und mit dem Wandelement 80 durch Anziehen der genannten Schrauben fest verbunden. Mittels der Abdeckkappe 23 werden die Schrauben 39 abgedeckt. Durch eine Öffnung 79 kann Wasser abfließen.Furthermore, the profile rail 11 is adjustable with respect to the wall profile rail 15, so that overall, within the scope of this invention, simple alignment of the individual components is achieved for the purpose of simple assembly. For the same reason, the crossbar is also adjustable with respect to the room wall 10 for this purpose also has elongated holes 41, 43, wherein in the context of this invention one elongated hole 41 runs in the horizontal direction and the other elongated hole 43 runs in the vertical direction. This enables pivoting for the purpose of alignment in the exactly horizontal position. The crossbar 21 bears with its second contact surface 33 against the room wall 10. Between the shoulder 63 and the wall 10, the crossbar 21 is arranged at a distance 45 to the wall element 80. The part 65 of the edge runs parallel to the wall element 80 in this area. As indicated by the dash-dotted line 71, the crossbar 21 is essentially triangular, but the crossbar is angled according to the projection 63 and thus forms an angle support. The two contact surfaces 31 and 33 are outer surfaces of the parts 67 and 68 of the edge 29. These parts 67, 68 and also the two contact surfaces 31, 33 lie in vertical planes which are correspondingly at right angles to one another. The part 66 of the edge 29 which extends furthest into the interior above the shower tray is arranged with respect to the part 65 at an acute angle which opens toward the wall 10 of the room. When installing the shower partition, the wall profile rail 15 and the crossbar 21 are first attached to the wall 10 in the usual manner by means of dowels or the like. The wall profile rail 15 is aligned exactly vertically, while the crossbar 21 is initially only provisionally attached to the room wall 10 by means of the screws screwed through the elongated holes 41 and 43. The wall element 80 is then set up vertically and secured to the crossbar 21 by means of the screws 39, which are only indicated here. Due to the horizontal arrangement of the elongated hole 37 in the glass plate of the wall element and / or the elongated hole 40 in the edge part 67, the wall element 80 can be aligned in the direction of the double arrow 75. Subsequently, the crossbar 21 is firmly connected to the room wall 10 and to the wall element 80 by tightening the screws mentioned. The screws 39 are covered by the cover cap 23. Water can flow out through an opening 79.

Figur 4 zeigt teilweise und in einer Vergrößerung die Ansicht B gemäß Figur 1 auf das aus Sicherheitsglas bestehende Wandelement 80, hinter welchem folglich die Quertraverse 21 gut zu erkennen ist. An der Oberkante des Wandelementes 80 ist die Querstrebe 17 angeordnet und an der vertikalen Längskante sind die Profilschiene 11 und die Wandprofilschiene 15 angeordnet. Mit strichpunktierten Linien ist die Bodenfläche der hinter der Zeichenebene befindlichen Quertraverse 21 angedeutet. Die Abdeckung 23 ist an der Vorderseite des Wandelementes 80 durch Kleben oder Einklipsen verbunden. Es ist ferner in der Bodenplatte 27 ein Haken vorgesehen, an welchen Duschutensilien aufgehängt werden können. Zur Befestigung dient eine Schrauboder Klipverbindung. Das in horizontaler Richtung verlaufende Langloch 37 ist durch strichpunktierte Linien angedeutet und ist zur Oberkante 87 des Wandelementes 80 in einem Abstand 77 angeordnet. Aufgrund dieses Abstandes 77 wird gewährleistet, daß das Langloch 37 problemlos bei der Herstellung des Wandelementes 80 in dieses eingebracht werden kann. Das Langloch 37 wird werksseitig in das Wandelement 80 eingebracht, so daß vor Ort bei der Montage keine Löcher mehr gebohrt werden müssen.FIG. 4 shows partially and in an enlargement the view B according to FIG. 1 on the wall element 80 made of safety glass, behind which the cross-beam 21 can consequently be clearly seen. The cross strut 17 is arranged on the upper edge of the wall element 80 and the profile rail 11 and the wall profile rail 15 are arranged on the vertical longitudinal edge. The bottom surface of the crossbar 21 located behind the plane of the drawing is indicated by dash-dotted lines. The cover 23 is connected to the front of the wall element 80 by gluing or clipping. A hook is also provided in the base plate 27, on which shower utensils can be hung. A screw or clip connection is used for fastening. The elongated hole 37 running in the horizontal direction is indicated by dash-dotted lines and is arranged at a distance 77 from the upper edge 87 of the wall element 80. This distance 77 ensures that the elongated hole 37 can be introduced into the wall element 80 without any problems during the production thereof. The slot 37 is made in the wall element 80 at the factory, so that no holes have to be drilled on site during assembly.

Figur 5 zeigt einen Schnitt entlang Schnittlinie V entsprechend der Figur 1, wobei jedoch Wandelement 80 und Drehflügel 2 gegeneinander vertauscht sind. Die Rahmenprofilschiene 11 übergreift mit ihren abgerundeten Schenkeln die im wesentlichen im Inneren angeordnete Profilschiene 15, welche mittels Schrauben an der Raumwand 10 befestigt ist. Zur einstellbaren Verbindung der Rahmenprofilschiene 11 mit der Wandprofilschiene 15 sind in vertikaler Richtung beabstandet wenigstens zwei Schrauben 47 vorgesehen, welche jeweils einen sich quer zur Raumwand erstreckenden Schlitz 49 des zugeordneten Schenkels der Wandprofilschiene 15 durchgreifen. Im Inneren der Wandprofilschiene 15 ist ein Klemmkörper 51 vorhanden, der ebenfalls von der Schraube 47 durchdrungen wird und eine Mutter 53 für die Schraube 47 aufweist. Der Klemmkörper 51 ist in seiner Anlagefläche an den Schenkeln des Wandprofiles 15 ebenso wie dieses dort mit einer vertikalen, also sich senkrecht zur Zeichenebene erstreckenden Riffelung 55 versehen. Es ist ersichtlich, daß durch Lösen der Schraube 47 die Rahmenprofilschiene 11 bezüglich der Wandprofilschiene 15 in Richtung des Pfeiles 57 verstellbar ist. Da das Wandelement 80 auch bezüglich der fest mit der Raumwand verbundenen Quertraverse aufgrund der erläuterten Langlöcher verstellbar und ausrichtbar ist, kann mit geringem Aufwand die Montage durchgeführt werden. Der zum Schenkelende offene Schlitz 49 ermöglicht problemlos das Aufschieben der Rahmenprofilschiene 11 auf die Wandprofilschiene 15 nachdem letztere an der Raumwand 10 befestigt worden ist.FIG. 5 shows a section along section line V corresponding to FIG. 1, but the wall element 80 and rotating wing 2 are interchanged. With its rounded legs, the frame profile rail 11 engages over the profile rail 15, which is arranged essentially inside, and which is fastened to the room wall 10 by means of screws. For the adjustable connection of the frame profile rail 11 to the wall profile rail 15, at least two screws 47 are provided spaced apart in the vertical direction, each of which extends through a slot 49 of the associated leg of the wall profile rail 15, which slot extends transversely to the room wall. Inside the wall profile rail 15 there is a clamping body 51, which is also penetrated by the screw 47 and has a nut 53 for the screw 47. The clamping body 51 is in its contact surface on the legs of the wall profile 15 just like this there with a vertical, that is, perpendicular corrugation 55 extending to the plane of the drawing. It can be seen that the frame profile rail 11 can be adjusted with respect to the wall profile rail 15 in the direction of the arrow 57 by loosening the screw 47. Since the wall element 80 can also be adjusted and aligned with respect to the crossbar that is firmly connected to the room wall due to the elongated holes explained, the assembly can be carried out with little effort. The slot 49 open at the end of the leg enables the frame profile rail 11 to be pushed onto the wall profile rail 15 after the latter has been fastened to the room wall 10 without any problems.

Die Rahmenprofilschiene 11 und entsprechend das Eckprofil 36 enthalten jeweils eine Ausnehmung, in welche Kunststoffprofile 59 eingesetzt sind. Diese Kunststoffprofile weisen einen etwa U-förmigen Querschnitt auf und sind mit Haltearmen zur Halterung des aus Sicherheitsglas bestehenden Wandelements 80 versehen. Zwecks elastischer Abdichtung ist ferner eine Dichtleiste 61 aus Gummi oder einem vergleichbaren elastomeren Werkstoff vorhanden. Das Eckprofil 36 enthält ferner ein Anschlagprofil 38 für den Drehflügel 2. Dieses Anschlagprofil 38 weist einerseits eine Dichtlippe 84 auf, welche an der Innenseite des Drehflügels 2 dichtend anliegt. Andererseits weist das Anschlagprofil 38 eine der vertikalen Stirnkante des Drehflügels 2 zugeordnete elastische Dichtung 86 auf.The frame profile rail 11 and correspondingly the corner profile 36 each contain a recess in which plastic profiles 59 are inserted. These plastic profiles have an approximately U-shaped cross section and are provided with holding arms for holding the wall element 80 made of safety glass. For the purpose of elastic sealing, there is also a sealing strip 61 made of rubber or a comparable elastomeric material. The corner profile 36 also contains a stop profile 38 for the rotary wing 2. This stop profile 38 has, on the one hand, a sealing lip 84, which bears sealingly on the inside of the rotary wing 2. On the other hand, the stop profile 38 has an elastic seal 86 assigned to the vertical end edge of the rotary wing 2.
