Definitions
- the invention relates to a support frame for whirlpool tubs, which has a frame which can be connected to the bottom of the whirlpool tub and is provided with height-adjustable support feet.
- Bathtubs including whirlpool tubs, must be clad on their side facing the room for aesthetic reasons alone. With normal bathtubs, this does not pose any major difficulties, since these can be easily inserted into a so-called bathtub box, which, depending on the installation in the room, is made up of two, three or even four large-format, firmly connected side parts made of a special rigid polystyrene foam. which support the edge of the bathtub inserted in the tub box.
- the bottom of the bathtub is provided with height-adjustable support feet.
- the outer surfaces of the tub box can then be covered with tiles or other surface cladding.
- whirlpool tubs In the case of whirlpool tubs, installation with a common tub box is problematic, since at least on one long side there is an increased space requirement for accommodating the pump and possibly the control unit and other units, which are arranged together with the tub on the frame of the supporting frame, because only such a whirlpool tub can be manufactured as a ready-to-install unit.
- the long side of the supporting frame provided with the “technology” is expediently turned towards the room so that it is accessible in the event of any faults.
- the "technology” can extend almost over the entire long side of the tub body, so that inspection, maintenance and, if necessary, repair are difficult due to the inspection opening usually arranged in a side wall of the tub box.
- Another problem here is the attachment of the "technology” covering panels of the tub box and the support of the tub edge in whirlpool tubs that are made of plastic.
- the invention has for its object to provide a support frame of the type mentioned, which brings improvements both with regard to assembly and for later maintenance work.
- the framework is provided on at least one side with a substantially vertical front frame which extends into the region of the tub rim and which is provided with fastening means for at least one cladding panel.
- the front frame Since the front frame is connected to the framework supporting the whirlpool tub and the positioning of the upper edge of the cladding panels is precisely defined, there is no need for laborious regulation and adjustment work.
- the front frame can be rigidly connected to the framework, since such whirlpool tubs are delivered fully assembled, so that the fixed arrangement of the front frame means that there is no increased space requirement for transport.
- the front frame in order to reduce the transport weight, can be detachably connected to the rest of the framework, so that it is only connected to the framework when the tub is installed.
- the front frame has at least one crossbar, preferably arranged in the upper area.
- This not only improves the stability of the front frame, but this configuration also offers advantages for further expedient configurations of the invention. It is particularly expedient if means for supporting the tub edge are arranged on the upper crossbar. This is particularly advantageous for whirlpool bathtubs made of plastic, since usually the side with the "technology" also represents the entry side for the bathtub and must therefore be supported so that the tub rim is exposed to a load of several times the normal body weight is able to record.
- Another advantage is that an additional, horizontally extending and covered by the tub edge cladding can be provided on the upper crossbar, since in normal bathtubs the space required for the "technology" extends laterally beyond the projection of the tub edge. At the same time, this offers the possibility of a perfect and practically “seamless" connection of the vertical cladding panels to be connected to the front frame, since the positioning of the horizontal ones Cladding and the vertical cladding panels to each other is predetermined by the front frame .
- At least one cladding panel is provided in the area of the lower edge with hook-shaped holding elements which can be attached to the framework and form a pivot bearing and that the fastening means are arranged in the form of snap connectors in the area of the upper edge. one part of which interacts with a corresponding opposite on the front frame.
- the design of the lower holding elements as a pivot bearing has the advantage that when they are inserted they are pivoted about a defined horizontal axis against the upper tub edge, so that an at least optically tight connection is ensured here, depending on the design of the upper longitudinal edge. It is expedient here if, in a further embodiment of the invention, the part of the snap connector fastened to the front frame is adjustable at a distance from the front frame. This makes it possible to compensate for any manufacturing inaccuracies.
- the drawing shows a schematic partial front view of a whirlpool tub with the front panel removed.
- a tub body 1 is firmly connected with its bottom 2 to a horizontal framework 3.
- the framework 3 is depending on the size of the tub with several adjustable in height Provide support feet 4, with the help of which the tub body 1 can be aligned precisely horizontally via the framework 3.
- the “technology” 5 which is only indicated schematically here, is fastened on the framework 3 along a longitudinal side of the tub, preferably in a corner area.
- the "Tecknik” 5 consists of an electrically driven circulation pump and / or an air compressor and the associated electrical control. Pump and / or air compressor are connected via corresponding pipelines to nozzle-shaped inlets opening into the tub interior.
- a substantially vertically oriented front frame 6 is now firmly connected to the framework 3.
- this front frame 3 is connected to an upper crossbar 7, with which support means 8 for supporting the tub rim 9 are firmly connected.
- a horizontal cladding plate 10 is arranged on the crossbar 7 of the front frame 6, which consists, for example, of a special rigid foam and which has a surface coating of plastic or glued plastic or ceramic tile is covered.
- the front area below the framework 3 is closed with a panel apron 11.
- the front side is covered with one or more cladding panels 12, which, however, are arranged at a distance from the front frame 6 and cover the plane of the support frame 3 downward beyond the bottom cladding panel 11. This leaves one Free space 13, which is required for the entry of air, in particular cooling air.
- the front cladding panels 12 are also made of a special hard foam and, like the upper cladding 10, are provided with a corresponding surface coating.
- the cladding panels 12 are each provided with at least two hook-shaped holding elements 14, which can be attached to the framework 3 and form a pivot bearing.
- the cladding panels 12 are provided with mechanical or magnetic snap connectors 15, which hold the cladding panels 12 in place and swing them up against the upper panel 10.
- the part of the respective snap connector connected to the front frame 6 is expediently adjustable in its distance from the plane of the front frame, so that the "closed position" can be precisely positioned here.
- the arrangement of such a front frame on the support frame 3 also offers the advantage of using plastic elements instead of the previously described use of the cladding panels known from the tub boxes, for example in the form of thermoformed plastic molded parts made of acrylic.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tragrahmen für Whirlpool-Wannen, der ein mit dem Boden der Whirlpool-Wanne verbindbares, mit höheneinstellbaren Stützfüßen versehenes Rahmenwerk aufweist.The invention relates to a support frame for whirlpool tubs, which has a frame which can be connected to the bottom of the whirlpool tub and is provided with height-adjustable support feet.
Badewannen, auch Whirlpool-Wannen, müssen auf ihrer dem Raum zugekehrten Seite schon aus ästhetischen Gründen verkleidet werden. Bei normalen Badewannen bereitet dies keine großen Schwierigkeiten, da diese in einfacher Weise in einen sogenannten Wannenkasten eingesetzt werden können, der je nach Aufstellung im Raum aus zwei, drei oder auch vier großformatigen, fest miteinander verbundenen Seitenteilen aus einem speziellen Polystyrol-Hartschaum gebildet wird, die den Rand der in den Wannenkasten eingesetzten Badewanne abstützen. Der Boden der Badewanne ist hierbei mit höhenverstellbaren Stützfüßen versehen. Die Außenflächen des Wannenkastens können dann mit Fliesen oder anderen Oberflächenverkleidungen versehen werden.Bathtubs, including whirlpool tubs, must be clad on their side facing the room for aesthetic reasons alone. With normal bathtubs, this does not pose any major difficulties, since these can be easily inserted into a so-called bathtub box, which, depending on the installation in the room, is made up of two, three or even four large-format, firmly connected side parts made of a special rigid polystyrene foam. which support the edge of the bathtub inserted in the tub box. The bottom of the bathtub is provided with height-adjustable support feet. The outer surfaces of the tub box can then be covered with tiles or other surface cladding.
Bei Whirlpool-Wannen bereitet die Aufstellung mit einem gängigen Wannenkasten Probleme, da zumindest an einer Längsseite ein erhöhter Raumbedarf für die Unterbringung der Pumpe und ggf. der Steuereinheit und weiterer Aggregate besteht, die zusammen mit der Wanne fest auf dem Rahmenwerk des Tragrahmens angeordnet sind, da nur so eine Whirlpool-Wanne als einbaufertige Einheit fabrikmäßig hergestellt werden kann. Bei derartigen Whirlpool-Wannen wird zweckmäßigerweise die mit der "Technik" versehene Längsseite des Tragrahmens dem Raum zugekehrt, damit diese bei etwaigen Störungen zugänglich ist. Je nach Ausstattung des Whirlpools kann sich hierbei die "Technik" nahezu über die gesamte Längsseite des Wannenkörpers erstrecken, so daß Inspektion, Wartung und ggf. Reparatur durch die üblicherweise in einer Seitenwandung des Wannenkastens angeordnete Revisionsöffnung schwierig wird. Ein weiteres Problem liegt hierbei in der Befestigung der die "Technik" abdeckenden Verkleidungsplatten des Wannenkastens und die Abstützung des Wannenrandes bei Whirlpool-Wannen, die aus Kunststoff gefertigt sind.In the case of whirlpool tubs, installation with a common tub box is problematic, since at least on one long side there is an increased space requirement for accommodating the pump and possibly the control unit and other units, which are arranged together with the tub on the frame of the supporting frame, because only such a whirlpool tub can be manufactured as a ready-to-install unit. In whirlpool baths of this type, the long side of the supporting frame provided with the “technology” is expediently turned towards the room so that it is accessible in the event of any faults. Depending on the equipment of the whirlpool, the "technology" can extend almost over the entire long side of the tub body, so that inspection, maintenance and, if necessary, repair are difficult due to the inspection opening usually arranged in a side wall of the tub box. Another problem here is the attachment of the "technology" covering panels of the tub box and the support of the tub edge in whirlpool tubs that are made of plastic.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Tragrahmen der eingangs bezeichneten Art zu schaffen, der sowohl hinsichtlich der Montage als auch für spätere Wartungsarbeiten Verbesserungen bringt.The invention has for its object to provide a support frame of the type mentioned, which brings improvements both with regard to assembly and for later maintenance work.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß das Rahmenwerk an wenigstens einer Seite mit einem im wesentlichen vertikalen Frontrahmen versehen ist, der bis in den Bereich des Wannenrandes reicht und der mit Befestigungsmitteln für wenigstens eine Verkleidungsplatte versehen ist. Diese Anordnung hat den Vorteil, daß nunmehr die mit der "Technik" bestückte Wannenseite, in der Regel eine Längsseite, unabhängig von den übrigen Seitenwänden des Wannenkastens mit der Verkleidung versehen werden kann. Sieht man hierbei lösbare Befestigungsmittel für die Verkleidungsplatten vor, so ergibt sich zusätzlich der Vorteil, daß anstelle einer gesonderten kleinen Revisionsöffnung nunmehr die gesamte raumseitige Verkleidung abgenommen werden kann, so daß hier die "Technik" frei zugänglich ist. Da der Frontrahmen mit dem die Whirlpool-Wanne tragenden Rahmenwerk verbunden ist und damit zugleich die Positionierung der Oberkante der Verkleidungsplatten genau definiert ist, entfallen hier umständliche Regulierungs- und Anpassungsarbeiten. Der Frontrahmen kann hierbei starr mit dem Rahmenwerk verbunden sein, da derartige Whirlpool-Wannen fertigmontiert geliefert werden, so daß durch die feste Anordnung des Frontrahmens kein erhöhter Raumbedarf für den Transport gegeben ist. Um jedoch das Transportgewicht zu reduzieren, kann der Frontrahmen lösbar mit dem übrigen Rahmenwerk verbunden sein, so daß er erst bei der Aufstellung der Wanne mit dem Rahmenwerk verbunden wird.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the framework is provided on at least one side with a substantially vertical front frame which extends into the region of the tub rim and which is provided with fastening means for at least one cladding panel. This arrangement has the advantage that the bathtub side equipped with the "technology", as a rule a long side, can now be provided with the cladding independently of the other side walls of the bathtub box. If you provide detachable fasteners for the cladding panels, there is the additional advantage that instead of a separate small inspection opening, the entire cladding on the room side can be removed, so that here the "technology" is freely accessible. Since the front frame is connected to the framework supporting the whirlpool tub and the positioning of the upper edge of the cladding panels is precisely defined, there is no need for laborious regulation and adjustment work. The front frame can be rigidly connected to the framework, since such whirlpool tubs are delivered fully assembled, so that the fixed arrangement of the front frame means that there is no increased space requirement for transport. However, in order to reduce the transport weight, the front frame can be detachably connected to the rest of the framework, so that it is only connected to the framework when the tub is installed.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Frontrahmen wenigstens eine,vorzugsweise im oberen Bereich angeordnete Quertraverse aufweist. Hierdurch wird nicht nur die Stabilität des Frontrahmens verbessert, sondern diese Ausgestaltung bietet auch Vorteile für weitere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung. So ist es insbesondere zweckmäßig, wenn an der oberen Quertraverse Mittel zur Unterstützung des Wannenrandes angeordnet sind. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft für Whirlpool-Wannen aus Kunststoff, da in der Regel gerade die mit der "Technik" versehene Seite zugleich auch die Einstiegseite für die Wanne darstellt und dementsprechend so unterstützt sein muß, daß der Wannenrand die Belastung durch ein Mehrfaches des normalen Körpergewichts aufzunehmen vermag. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß auf der oberen Quertraverse noch eine zusätzliche, horizontal verlaufende und vom Wannenrand überdeckte Verkleidung vorgesehen, werden kann, da bei normalen Badewannen der für die "Technik" benötigte Raum seitlich über die Projektion des Wannenrandes hinausreicht. Zugleich bietet sich hierdurch die Möglichkeit eines einwandfreien und praktisch "fugenlosen" Anschlusses der vertikalen, mit dem Frontrahmen zu verbindenden Verkleidungsplatten, da die Positionierung der horizontalen Verkleidung und der vertikalen Verkleidungsplatten zueinander durch den Frontrahmen vorgegeben ist. In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the front frame has at least one crossbar, preferably arranged in the upper area. This not only improves the stability of the front frame, but this configuration also offers advantages for further expedient configurations of the invention. It is particularly expedient if means for supporting the tub edge are arranged on the upper crossbar. This is particularly advantageous for whirlpool bathtubs made of plastic, since usually the side with the "technology" also represents the entry side for the bathtub and must therefore be supported so that the tub rim is exposed to a load of several times the normal body weight is able to record. Another advantage is that an additional, horizontally extending and covered by the tub edge cladding can be provided on the upper crossbar, since in normal bathtubs the space required for the "technology" extends laterally beyond the projection of the tub edge. At the same time, this offers the possibility of a perfect and practically "seamless" connection of the vertical cladding panels to be connected to the front frame, since the positioning of the horizontal ones Cladding and the vertical cladding panels to each other is predetermined by the front frame .
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß wenigstens eine Verkleidungsplatte im Bereich des unteren Randes mit hakenförmigen Halteelementen versehen ist, die am Rahmenwerk einhängbar sind und ein Schwenklager bilden und daß im Bereich des oberen Randes die Befestigungsmittel in Form von Schnappverbindern angeordnet sind, von denen jeweils der eine Teil mit einem entsprechenden Gegenteil am Frontrahmen zusammenwirkt. Eine derartige Ausbildung der Verbindung zwischen Verkleidungsplatte und Frontrahmen hat den Vorteil, daß die Verkleidungsplatte in einfacher Weise lösbar mit dem Frontrahmen verbunden ist und zu Wartungs- und Reparaturarbeiten in einfacher Weise abgenommen werden kann, so daß bei entsprechender Bemessung der lösbaren Verkleidungsplatte die "Technik" vollständig freigelegt werden kann. Die Ausbildung der unteren Halteelemente als Schwenklager hat den Vorteil, daß beim Einsetzen diese um eine definierte horizontale Achse gegen den oberen Wannenrand verschwenkt werden, so daß hier je nach Ausbildung der oberen Längskante ein zumindest optisch dichter Anschluß gewährleistet ist. Zweckmäßig ist es hierbei, wenn in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung der jeweils am Frontrahmen befestigte Teil der Schnappverbinder im Abstand zum Frontrahmen einstellbar ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, etwaige Fertigungsungenauigkeiten noch auszugleichen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one cladding panel is provided in the area of the lower edge with hook-shaped holding elements which can be attached to the framework and form a pivot bearing and that the fastening means are arranged in the form of snap connectors in the area of the upper edge. one part of which interacts with a corresponding opposite on the front frame. Such a design of the connection between the cladding panel and the front frame has the advantage that the cladding panel is detachably connected to the front frame in a simple manner and can be easily removed for maintenance and repair work, so that the "technology" can be appropriately dimensioned for the detachable cladding panel. can be fully exposed. The design of the lower holding elements as a pivot bearing has the advantage that when they are inserted they are pivoted about a defined horizontal axis against the upper tub edge, so that an at least optically tight connection is ensured here, depending on the design of the upper longitudinal edge. It is expedient here if, in a further embodiment of the invention, the part of the snap connector fastened to the front frame is adjustable at a distance from the front frame. This makes it possible to compensate for any manufacturing inaccuracies.
Die Erfindung wird anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail using a schematic drawing of an embodiment.
Die Zeichnung zeigt eine schematische Teilstirnansicht einer Whirlpool-Wanne mit abgenommener stirnseitiger Verkleidung. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein Wannenkörper 1 mit seinem Boden 2 fest mit einem horizontalen Rahmenwerk 3 verbunden.

In the illustrated embodiment, a
Auf dem Rahmenwerk 3 ist entlang einer Wannenlängsseite, vorzugsweise in einem Eckbereich, die hier nur schematisch angedeutete "Technik" 5 befestigt. Je nach Ausstattung des Whirlpools besteht die "Tecknik" 5 aus einer elektrisch angetriebenen Umwälzpumpe und/oder aus einem Luftkompressor sowie der zugehörigen elektrischen Steuerung. Pumpe und/oder Luftkompressor sind über entsprechende Rohrleitungen mit in den Wanneninnenraum mündenden düsenförmigen Einlässen verbunden.The “technology” 5, which is only indicated schematically here, is fastened on the
An wenigstens einem Rand des Rahmenwerks 3, vorzugsweise der dem Raum zugekehrten Längs- und/oder Stirnseite des Whirlpoolsystems, ist nun ein im wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichteter Frontrahmen 6 fest mit dem Rahmenwerk 3 verbunden. Dieser Frontrahmen 3 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit einer oberen Quertraverse 7 verbunden, mit der Stützmittel 8 zur Abstützung des Wannenrandes 9 fest verbunden sind.On at least one edge of the
Da die "Technik" 5 zur Seite hin den durch die Projektion des Wannenrandes 9 begrenzten Raum überschreitet, ist auf der Quertraverse 7 des Frontrahmens 6 eine horizontale Verkleidungsplatte 10 angeordnet, die beispielsweise aus einem Spezial-Hartschaum besteht und die mit einer Oberflächenbeschichtung aus Kunststoff oder aufgeklebten Fliesen aus Kunststoff oder Keramikmaterial abgedeckt ist. Der Frontbereich unterhalb des Rahmenwerks 3 ist mit einer Verkleidungsschürze 11 abgeschlossen.Since the "technology" 5 to the side exceeds the space limited by the projection of the
Die Frontseite ist je nach Wannenlänge mit einer oder mehreren Verkleidungsplatten 12 abgedeckt, die jedoch mit Abstand zum Frontrahmen 6 angeordnet sind und nach unten hin die Ebene des Tragrahmens 3 bis über die bodenseitige Verkleidungsplatte 11 überdecken. Hierdurch verbleibt ein Freiraum 13, der für den Zutritt von Luft, insbesondere von Kühlluft erforderlich ist.Depending on the tub length, the front side is covered with one or more
Die frontseitigen Verkleidungsplatten 12 sind ebenfalls aus einem Spezial-Hartschaum hergestellt und wie die oberen Verkleidung 10, mit einer entsprechenden Oberflächenbeschichtung versehen. Im Bereich des unteren Randes sind die Verkleidungsplatten 12 jeweils mit wenigstens zwei hakenförmigen Halteelementen 14 versehen, die am Rahmenwerk 3 einhängbar sind und ein Schwenklager bilden. Im Bereich des oberen Randes sind die Verkleidungsplatten 12 mit mechanischen oder magnetischen Schnappverbindern 15 versehen, die nach dem Einhängen der Verkleidungsplatten 12 und dem Hochschwenken gegen die obere Verkleidung 10 diese festhalten. Der mit dem Frontrahmen 6 verbundene Teil des jeweiligen Schnappverbinders ist zweckmäßigerweise in seinem Abstand zur Ebene des Frontrahmens einstellbar, so daß hier eine genaue Positionierung der "Schließstellung" vorgenommen werden kann.The
Die Anordnung eines derartigen Frontrahmens am Tragrahmen 3 bietet auch den Vorteil, anstelle der vorbeschriebenen Verwendung der von den Wannenkästen bekannten Verkleidungsplatten, auch Kunststoffelemente zu verwenden, beispielsweise in Form von tiefgezogenen Kunststoff-Formteilen aus Acryl.The arrangement of such a front frame on the
