Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower cubicle consisting of a wall surrounding the shower area.
  • the vertical walls enclose the shower area. There is an entry and exit in the vertical walls through which the shower cubicle can be entered or left.
  • the entry and exit consists of a gap in the walls which can be closed or opened by door-like elements, for example folding doors or sliding doors.
  • door-like elements requires design effort.
  • Guides for sliding doors Cavities and hard-to-reach corners and angles in which deposits of soap foam, hair and the like can form soiling that can only be removed with great difficulty.
  • door-like elements closing the inlet and outlet have the advantage that inevitable splashes of water cannot get into the vicinity of the shower cabin during showering, but rather bounce off the walls and the closed door-like elements, remain in the shower cabin and ultimately flow off through the drain .
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shower cubicle in which the door-like elements closing the inlet and outlet can be dispensed with and yet no splash water penetrates to the outside.
  • a standing hollow column is formed from the wall, which is open over a range from about 90 ° to 120 ° of its circumference, one of the wall edges delimiting the opening in the hollow column being extended such that it continuously moves further away from the center of the hollow column in the course of the extension until its outer end overlaps the other wall edge.
  • An entry and exit is always limited by two vertical edges of walls and according to the invention, one of the walls is now laid out in its course and extended so far that it more or less with its vertical edge the vertical edge of the other wall overlaps.
  • the distance between the overlapping wall areas thus forms an entry and exit area which, in contrast to shower cabins known per se, does not run across a wall, but rather approximately tangentially to the floor plan of the column-shaped shower cabin. Since splash water does not get into the overlap area of the walls during shower operation, there is no need to close the inlet and outlet, for example by means of door-like elements. Entry and exit remain constantly free and yet protect the area around the shower cubicle against splash water.
  • the shower cubicle according to the invention can be cleaned without any problems, since door-like elements with corresponding attachment fittings, guide elements and the like are no longer present.
  • the shower cubicle according to the invention is particularly suitable for being set up free-standing in a room.
  • the entrance and exit can be directed to the desired side by appropriate rotation or alignment of the shower cabin.
  • the hollow column can have any cross-sectional shape.
  • the hollow column preferably has a circular cross section, since the circular shape offers the largest possible area for the shower area with the smallest space requirement in the installation space of the shower cabin.
  • the hollow column can also have oval or polygonal cross-sectional shapes.
  • a further embodiment provides for a spiral course of the wall, so that the shower cubicle is given a helical layout.
  • the wall from which the hollow column and extension are formed can be formed in one piece from a plate which is bent accordingly to produce the desired shape. It is also possible to assemble the hollow column with its extension from several plate parts, the plate parts being put together so that the shower cubicle is given the desired cross-sectional shape.
  • the plate parts can be curved to give a round course to the wall from which the hollow column and extension are formed. However, each plate part can also be a flat plate.
  • the panels placed next to each other then form a polygonal hollow column and a correspondingly angular extension.
  • the dimensions of the plate parts are preferably such that the length of each plate part is equal to the length of the hollow column.
  • the joints between the individual plate parts also extend over the entire height of the shower cubicle.
  • the thickness of which is approximately 2 to 25 mm, preferably approximately 6 to 8 mm, this results in a light but nevertheless sufficiently firm shower cubicle with a visually appealing design.
  • the vertical crease joints between the individual flat panels serve to increase the strength of the relatively thin-shell construction.
  • Abutting edges of adjacent plate parts can be connected to one another via connecting elements. Also a direct gluing of the plate parts or a gluing of the plate parts to the components serving the connection, Fitting or the like is possible.
  • Profile bars are preferably provided as connecting elements.
  • Each profile bar can also have longitudinal grooves provided for receiving the vertical edges of plate parts. The edges engage in these longitudinal grooves in the vertical edge regions of the plate parts.
  • a profile bar can thus e.g. can also be used as a connecting element between two plate parts.
  • fittings or the like can also be provided which connect a plate part or the entire wall of the shower cubicle to a component serving as a support column. If the profile bars are dimensioned stronger, they can also serve as support columns.
  • the vertical wall edges which are exposed in the area of the entry and exit, can also be protected by arranging corresponding profile bars or supporting columns.
  • Each support column can be held in fastening elements with at least one of its ends. With such fastening elements, each support column can be attached, for example, to the floor and / or to the ceiling of a room in which the shower cubicle is installed.
  • Simple anchors could be provided, e.g. are designed as sleeves, which are each attached to the floor and or to the ceiling and into which e.g. trained as a round profile, serving as a support column can be inserted with its ends.
  • the shower cabin according to the invention is characterized in that it has a floor plate, the edge region of which is provided with wall mounts.
  • the floor plate can be used to seal the lower area of the shower cubicle, e.g. to prevent leachate from escaping under the wall or the plate parts forming the wall.
  • the floor plate forms an element that is functionally involved in the statics of the shower cabin.
  • the floor plate has the shape of an approximately round disc, the shape of the outer edge region of which follows the course of the vertical wall forming the hollow column and the extension.
  • the floor plate can be correspondingly angular.
  • the floor plate can be a raised part in relation to the floor of a room in which the shower cubicle is installed. However, the floor plate can also be sunk or recessed into the floor of the room, so that its surface is flush with the floor of the room, at least in its edge region.
  • the floor plate has plug-in receptacles for the profile bars, in particular the profile bars designed as support columns.
  • the plug-in receptacles can be designed as blind holes into which the ends of the profile rods which can be inserted therein engage.
  • Corresponding fastening elements can be provided in order to hold a profile rod securely in the plug receptacle of the floor plate.
  • the profile bars can also be glued to the plug-in receptacles of the floor plate.
  • the surface of the floor plate facing the interior of the shower cubicle has a slope that slopes towards the center of the floor plate. This has the advantage that used shower water in the formed central recess in the floor plate can collect. A breakthrough can then be provided in the middle of the floor slab, in which a water drain is arranged so that accumulated used shower water can be drained off without problems.
  • the surface of the floor plate facing the interior of the shower cubicle can also be provided with a profile which increases the slip resistance.
  • the profiling can be molded into the floor plate, for example in the form of knobs, beads or depressions. This is particularly possible if a plastic is used as the material for the floor slab that can be easily molded.
  • the floor plate has, especially if it e.g. is made of plastic, further the advantage that there is thermal insulation against the floor of the installation room of the shower cabin, which is pleasant for the user of the shower cabin.
  • the walls or the individual wall sections, which together form the shower cubicle can consist of glass or plastic.
  • the shower cubicle offers a particularly appealing visual appearance if it is formed in one piece from a wall made of glass or if it is composed of as few plate parts made of glass as possible.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a shower cubicle
  • the shower area 1 enclosed by a wall in plan has the shape of a round hollow column.
  • the vertical wall of the hollow column consists of individual composite, curved plate parts 2 and 3 and a plate part 4 forming the extension. Vertical edges of the plate parts are held in profile bars 5, 6, 7 and 8 designed here as support columns. In the center of the shower area there is an opening 9 for a water drain.
  • the profile rod 6 designed as a support column holds a shower fitting 10 and a shower head 11, which is indicated schematically here.
  • the entry and exit of the shower cubicle is identified by the circled reference number 12 and is located in the region between the inner wall edge formed by the plate part 2 and the outer edge the extension formed by the plate part 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the standing shower cubicle according to FIG. 1 seen in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1.
  • the same components are labeled with the same reference numbers.
  • the entry and exit 12 can be seen.
  • Fig. 2 also shows the vertical profile bars that can be attached on the one hand in the floor area 14 of a room and on the other hand, beyond the upper edge 15 of the shower cabin, up to a ceiling of the up, not visible here range of space.
  • the arrangement can also be such that only some of the profile bars go beyond the edge 15.
  • the individual plate parts 2,3,4 are made of glass or plastic and can be both transparent and opaque.
  • Fig. 3 shows a section through the floor area of the shower cubicle, which is formed by a floor plate 16.
  • the floor plate can e.g. be made of plastic.
  • the surface 17 of the floor panel facing the interior of the shower cubicle has a slope that slopes towards the center of the floor panel, a central opening 18 being provided for arranging a water drain 19.
  • a molded-in groove 20 is provided in the edge region of the floor slab and serves as a wall receptacle in that a wall can be inserted into the groove with its lower edge.
  • plug receptacles 21 and 22 are also visible in FIG. 3, which are molded into the floor slab 16 and for receiving the two profile bars 5 and 8 (designed as a support column) Fig. 1) serve.
  • the profile rods are inserted and held in the corresponding plug-in receptacles with their bottom end.
  • the profile bars 6 and 7 are placed in corresponding plug-in receptacles of the floor plate.
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic sectional view through a profile rod designed as a support column along the line IV-IV in FIG. 2 on an enlarged scale.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the profile rod 6 is designed as a hollow profile and has 2 and 3 longitudinal grooves 23 and 24 for receiving the vertical edges of plate parts.
  • the profile rod 6 consists of two half-shells 25 and 26, which are enclosed and pressed against the plate parts 2 and 3 by means of suitable, here le Diglich schematically illustrated connecting means 27 are assembled into a profile bar.
  • the wall forming a hollow column and the extension likewise consists of composite plate parts which, however, are not arched, but rather plates having flat surfaces here.
  • the plate parts designed as panels are all of the same width and are connected to one another at the edges and put together to form a polygonal hollow column, the wall of which, as shown here, ends in the extension to form the entry and exit, again identified by 12.
  • the free vertical edges in the area of the entry and exit 12 are also clad again with profile rods 5 and 8 designed as support columns.
  • An opening 9 serving for water drainage is located in the center of the polygonal hollow column surrounding the shower area.
  • the profile rod 5 carries the indicated shower fitting 10 and the shower head 11.
