Definitions

  • the invention relates to a component for the floor of shower areas in shower rooms or shower cubicles.
  • shower cubicles or shower levels are known in various embodiments.
  • the most widespread embodiment is the shower trays, which are used as prefabricated fittings made of metal or plastic and walled in at the place of use. They have an approximately 20-40 cm high, approximately vertically rising wall on the outer edge; Depending on the type of installation, its floor is at a level with the floor of the room or higher and runs horizontally over its entire surface.
  • these shower trays have the disadvantage that the users have to climb the wall, which is particularly difficult for people with walking difficulties. They also have aesthetic disadvantages because they visually divide and reduce the space in their area of application.
  • a prefabricated floor unit for use in furnishing a bathroom in which the base part has raised peripheral areas all around and, in one embodiment, additionally runs inside the base part, which are lower than the aforementioned walls of the shower trays, so that they are easier for the user to climb.
  • An embodiment of the floor unit according to GB-A-1 574 433 also has a slope towards the outside in the direction of the water drain arranged there, so that the water obtained during showering runs quickly and more completely than in the shower trays with a horizontally extending floor.
  • the lower edge area has the disadvantage of not being carefully perceived by the user, similar to low levels, so that he can trip over it and be brought down.
  • the one-sided gradient mentioned has the disadvantage that the entire shower water is gushing to the channel part with the water outlet and there causes the risk of water backlogs up to overflow into the surrounding room.
  • GB-A-1 532 953 discloses a shower cubicle for the disabled, in which the floor is slightly conical or arched towards the center of the standing surface.
  • the standing area goes directly into a vertical ascending wall in the form of a three-quarter cylinder, which is closed by a door in the form of a cylinder segment when in use.
  • the shower water runs from the floor through a side opening in the pump sump, which is located outside the shower room and from which the pump is used.
  • This shower cubicle according to GB-A-1 532 953 is not suitable from the outset as a component for the floor of shower areas in shower baths because it is not intended and possible to let it into the floor of the bathroom or other room.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shower area in which, while avoiding the disadvantages of the known shower trays and shower levels, the shower area in one level with the adjoining floor of the room, the user does not have to climb a wall or an elevated edge area and at the same time the shower water can no longer run from the shower area into the adjacent room.
  • the shower base element according to the invention is a prefabricated fitting. In the representations of the figures it has a square base; however, it can also have the shape of rectangles with different side lengths, circles, or triangles and ovals.
  • the shower base element has the standing surface 1, 1 ', which is surrounded and limited by the trough 2, 2' and from its center on all sides to the trough 2, 2 'a slightly tes, advantageously 1.5% gradient Has.
  • the standing surface 1 is circular with an annular trough 2; 3 and 4, the standing surface 1 'is substantially square with a trough 2' running at right angles.
  • the shower base element has the run-off slope 3, 3', which slopes slightly opposite to the direction of inclination of the standing surface 1, 1 'and also advantageously with a gradient of 1.5% to the trough 2, 2'.
  • the water drain 4 is integrated, which leads to an underlying siphon 10 known per se.
  • the shower base element is inserted into the floor of the shower room in such a way that, with the outer limitation of the drainage slope, it merges flatly into the adjacent floor area at the same level, as can be seen from FIGS. 5, 7 and 9.
  • the standing / sitting device 6 is attached to the water drain 4, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • This consists of the two height-adjustable vertical supports 7, which are attached with their lower ends 8 to the annular disc 9 of the water drain 4 above the siphon 10 by means of screwing, welding or in some other way.
  • the supports 7 carry the leaning / seat posts 11.
  • the standing / sitting device 6 ' attached.
  • This consists of the two supports 7 ', which are also adjustable in height and have the leaning / seat posts 11' at their end.
  • the supports 7 ' pass into the cross member, which is adapted in shape to the trough 2 or 2' and is inserted into the trough 2, 2 '.
  • the cross member 13 has at its outer ends a suction cup 14 for releasable attachment in the trough.
  • suction cups 15 can also be attached to the two outer ends of the leaning / seat spar 11 'for the additional detachable fastening of the standing / seat device to the adjacent side wall.
  • a standing / leaning device 6 ′′ which consists of a uniform board-like support 16 and, moreover, is inserted into the trough 2 as in the embodiment according to FIG. 7, also advantageously with suction cups 14 on both sides. Also in this embodiment 16 suction cups 15 'can be arranged at the upper end of the support for further fastening.
  • the shower base element according to the invention has the practical advantages in use and the aesthetic advantages of a shower level in that a circumferential side wall as in the known shower trays is missing. There is no need for the user to exceed before and after showering The floor area of the adjoining room merges into the shower area without changing the level. At the same time, compared to the known shower level, which is made by hand using individual tiles, the advantage is achieved that it consists of a single component, thus ensuring the correct inclination of the surfaces and connection to the water drainage from the outset, and also considerable cost savings. Due to the environment and all-round limitation of the standing surface of the shower base element by the circumferential drainage channel, the further disadvantage of the tiled shower levels described above is avoided by the draining water being absorbed by the channel and being fed directly to the water drain integrated therein.
  • the shower base element according to the invention also allows in the development according to FIGS. 5 to 10 a further use advantage for the user and greater safety through the standing / sitting device with a fixed but detachable connection to the shower base element.
