Definitions

  • the invention relates to a splash guard for a shower area to be separated, consisting of a plurality of swivel wings which can be folded from a folded parking position in front of a fixed partition, room wall or support column into an extended position of use, in particular for a shower area in a bathtub.
  • a bathtub with a shower partition is already known, in which a plurality of pivoting wings are articulated on a fixed column by means of pivoting arms and can be folded from a folded parking position into an extended position of use.
  • splash guards for bathtubs consist of a plurality of collapsible folding elements which are pivotally mounted on a wall of the room and can be folded from a folded parking position in front of the wall of the room into an extended position of use in which the splash guard covers the major part on the longitudinal wall of the bathtub.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a splash guard for a shower area to be separated, in particular in a bathtub, which is characterized by great simplicity, low effort and by a delicate design, and in the folded state only a small space outside the shower area occupies.
  • the splash guard according to the invention of the type mentioned is characterized by a U-shaped swivel bracket spanning the shower space in the position of use, the first leg of which is pivotably mounted on or in front of the fixed partition, room wall or support column about a first, vertical axis, and on its second leg, two swivel wings are suspended, which are self-supporting and can be swiveled in both directions about a second, vertical axis into an extended position.
  • This U-shaped swivel bracket ensures that the shower area is spanned at a relatively great height without the shower end being hindered.
  • the second leg of the swivel wing is provided at its free end with a support foot, in particular made of rubber, for support on the floor or the edge of a bathtub.
  • a support foot in particular made of rubber
  • the two swivel wings can preferably be folded together.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is characterized in that a support web with latching recesses is provided on the first leg of the swivel bracket, on which the free ends of the swivel wings can be supported in the folded state.
  • the two swivel wings can each be made in one part or in two parts.
  • first partial wings are pivotally mounted on the second leg of the swivel bracket and carry the second partial wings at their ends via hinges.
  • the splash guard according to the invention is versatile. A preferred form of application is in connection with a bathtub in which a shower space is to be set up by the splash guard. However, it is also possible to use the splash guard in bathrooms, saunas or fitness rooms without the use of a bathtub - if an appropriate floor drain is used - to limit the spray area when showering.
  • the splash guard according to the invention in connection with a bathtub, in particular if it is in front of a fixed wall or partition, the following advantageous configurations of the invention result:
  • the vertical pivot axis of the two pivot wings is preferably displaced in relation to the second leg of the pivot bracket in the direction of the first leg. In this way it is ensured that the water dripping from the swivel wings when showering does not drip onto the edge of the tub, but on the inside of the tub edge and thus runs off into the bathtub.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the two swivel wings are mounted on separate swivel bearings arranged at a lateral distance from one another. This facilitates folding for pivoting out of the position of use into the parking position, since in such a case both pivoting wings can be brought approximately parallel to one another.
  • the support foot is preferably rotatably mounted eccentrically for adjustment to the tub edge at the end of the second leg of the swivel bracket. In this way, a perfect support on the tub edge is guaranteed.
  • a conventional bathtub 2 is arranged in front of a wall 1.
  • the one tub edge 4 adjoins the room wall 1 and is usually tiled, while the other tub edge 3 is at a certain distance from the room wall 1.
  • a U-shaped swivel bracket 5 is mounted on the room wall 1 by means of a swivel bearing 6 with its first leg 7 so that it can pivot about a first, vertical swivel axis, while the second leg 8 of the swivel bracket 5 is self-supporting.
  • two swivel wings 12 and 13 are pivotally mounted about a second, vertical axis. These two swivel wings 12 and 13 are self-supporting and can be positioned in an extended position above the inner edge of the tub rim 3, so that shower water running off can run into the tub 2.
  • the free end of the second leg 8 of the swivel bracket 5 is supported on the tub rim 3 by a support leg 15, preferably made of rubber, to increase stability.
  • FIG. 2 to 4 now show how the splash guard according to the invention can be pivoted from the extended working position (FIG. 2) to the parking position (FIG. 4) via an intermediate layer (FIG. 3). Further details of the construction are also described.
  • pivot wings 12 and 13 are pivotally mounted on the second leg 8 of the pivot bracket 5 about the second vertical axis by means of two pivot bearings arranged at a distance from one another.
  • These pivot bearings 16 are offset from the axis of the second leg 8 in the direction of the first leg 7 inward, in order to ensure that the lower edges of the pivoting wings 12 and 13 are above the inner edge of the tub rim 3 when the support leg 15 is on supports the tub rim 3.
  • the support leg 15 is mounted eccentrically against the second leg 8. It can therefore be adjusted to any intermediate position between the extended position of the support leg and the dashed position 15 '.
  • a further tolerance compensation is possible in that the pivot bearing 6 is fastened to the room wall 1 with spacers placed therebetween in order to compensate for width tolerances or tolerances when tiling. It is also possible to compensate for the height of the pivot bearing of the first leg 7 relative to the pivot bearing 6 by interposing spacers.
  • the swivel wings 12 and 13 are formed in one piece, self-supporting and only supported in the swivel bearings 16. To increase the stability they are slightly S-shaped, and furthermore the free ends are provided with a handle 14, which is preferred are continuously formed over the entire height.
  • the swivel wings 12 and 13 are first folded into the position according to FIG. 3, i.e. they are brought into an approximately parallel position to one another. In this position, the pivoting wings 12 and 13 can be locked and supported by attaching a support web 17 to the first leg 7, which pivots with the first leg 7. On both sides of the support web 17, locking recesses 18 are provided, the shape of which is adapted to the profile of the grip strips 14, so that the free ends of the pivoting wings 12 and 13 assume the position according to FIG. 3 in a relatively stable manner.
  • pivot bearings 16 there are preferably detents which, on the one hand, lock the pivot wings 12 and 13 in the position of use in the extended position, but which, on the other hand, when pivoting the pivot wings into the position according to FIG. 3 press them into the latching recesses 18 with a certain preload and stop there.
  • the locking position in the extended position (Fig. 2) is preferably adjustable in angle to allow adaptation to the different trough shapes.
  • a shower head 9 is arranged in the U-arm of the swivel bracket 5, which can be supplied with shower water via the hollow swivel bracket 5.
  • the corresponding connection can be made at the end of the first leg 7, but is not shown here.
  • both a shower head holder 10 and a soap dish 11 can be attached to the pivot bearing 6 for the first leg 7, which simplifies the fastening of these parts, since no special holes have to be drilled on the room wall 1.
  • the length of the second leg 8 must be adapted to the given conditions. If support is to be provided with the support leg 5, for example on the floor, the second leg 8 must therefore be extended accordingly.
  • the pivot bearing 6 must be designed and fastened accordingly if it is not to be held on a room wall, but instead, for example, on a fixed partition or on a fixed column.
  • the handle strips 14 are advantageously bent inwards towards the shower area in order to achieve better water repellency. If the splash guard is not used in conjunction with a bathtub, the support leg 15 is of course simpler trained, ie he does not need an eccentric rotary bearing.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment with two two-part pivoting wings 22, 23.
  • This embodiment does mean a little more effort, but has the advantage that the splash guard encloses a larger shower room or represents a better splash guard to the sides, which is particularly the case with a shower tray set up in front of the room wall 1.
  • the two pivot wings 22, 23 each consist of a first partial wing 22a or 23a, which - similar to the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 - are hung on the second leg 8 of the pivot bracket 5 by means of the pivot bearing 16. Second partial wings 22b, 23b are pivotably suspended on the other side edge of the first partial wings 22a, 23a by means of suitable hinges (not shown).
  • the two-part swivel wings 22, 23 can be brought into the position shown in FIG. 5 for showering, but it is also possible to use the To bring partial wings of one or the other pivot wing 22, 23, or both, in an extended position. This depends on the respective spatial conditions.
  • the swivel wings 22, 23 can each be folded together and packetized after swiveling the swivel bracket 5 in front of the room wall 1 so that the bath area remains free for bathing without a shower partition.
  • the swivel wings 22, 23 or their partial wings 22a, 22b; 23a, 23b can be designed in a suitable manner.
  • they are framed by frame elements 24, which each fully encompass the first partial wings 22a, 23a, while the second partial wings 22b, 23b are only encompassed on three sides, the free end of these second partial wings remaining free. All other features shown in connection with the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 in FIGS. 2 to 4 can also be applied to the second embodiment according to FIG. 5.
