Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower partition according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a shower partition is known from FR 22 80 777 A1.
  • the upper guide rail of this shower partition is open at the bottom and the guide parts with their brackets and guide rollers protrude from the underside into the interior of the guide rail. Special rails for the guide rollers are provided in the interior of the guide rail.
  • This guide rail requires a not inconsiderable expenditure on material and production in order to obtain sufficient stability for the door elements to be suspended.
  • the upper guide rail is part of a frame and when installing it, special measures are required to obtain an exact alignment with respect to the room wall and the tub. A possible misalignment of the upper guide rail cannot be easily compensated for.
  • a shower partition is known from EP 194 697 A1, which is designed as a folding door and the guide part of which completely surrounds the upper guide rail.
  • the guide rail can only be attached at its ends so that the surrounding guide parts can be moved freely along the guide rail when opening or closing the doors.
  • it must therefore be made comparatively solid in order to avoid deflection or deformation as a whole.
  • a shower partition is known from DE 31 05 277 C3, in which the guide parts engage in the interior of the upper guide rail.
  • the guide rail has a continuous slot on its underside for gripping through the guide parts.
  • Such a slot works disadvantageous for the stability of the guide rail, which must therefore have a correspondingly large wall thickness.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing the known shower partition in such a way that a functionally reliable and stable guidance of the door can be ensured with little production outlay.
  • the horizontal alignment of the guide rail in particular, should be able to be carried out in a functionally reliable manner with simple handling.
  • the alignment of the guide rail and / or the door or the various door elements should be able to be carried out with little space and weight and expediently also with few components without any problems.
  • the proposed shower partition is characterized by a simple and yet functionally reliable construction and a stable guidance of the door is guaranteed.
  • the guide part contains on the one hand a roller that can be rolled on the surface of the guide rail and on the other hand a bracket via which the connection to the door or the respective door element takes place.
  • the bracket of the guide part thus overlaps on one side, in particular the inside of the shower cubicle, the guide rail, so that, moreover, the guide rail can be fastened to a fixed wall element or to a wall of the room delimiting the shower cubicle at the desired location. This is particularly important when the shower partition is designed as a round shower with an upper guide rail bent at least in the entry area.
  • the height of the upper guide rail is adjustable with respect to said room wall and / or at least one of the fixed wall elements, regardless of their orientation. With little effort, especially for a circular shower, a gimbal attachment can be arrested in such a way that the guide rail can be reliably aligned horizontally.
  • the bracket is expediently U-shaped and arranged in the interior of the shower partition.
  • the fastening elements in particular a bearing block and an angle part, are arranged on the outside of the guide rail, so that the door elements can be pushed past the fastening elements without being affected. Since the rollers rest on the top of the guide rail and the door elements are arranged vertically below the guide rail, a stable suspension is created, so that tilting, jamming or the like is reliably avoided when the door elements are actuated.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the shower partition with two curved door elements 2, 4.
  • the two door elements 2, 4 are used to shut off an entry opening into the shower interior lying behind.
  • the inlet opening is laterally delimited by a fixed wall element 10, 12.
  • These wall elements 10, 12 have outside connection profiles 14, 16 for connection to room walls, which are indicated by dash-dotted lines 18, 20.
  • the wall elements 10, 12 contain profiles 22, 24 delimiting the inlet opening, to which the guide rail 6 is fastened at the top with an angle part 26, 28.
  • a carrier 30 for the guide rail 6 is arranged in the corner between the room walls.
  • the upper guide rail 6 is thus mounted at three positions distributed over the circumference, wherein an exact alignment with respect to the horizontal plane is advantageously made possible at at least two of these positions.
  • the two angle parts 26, 28 can be arranged so as to be adjustable in height with respect to the vertical profiles 22, 24.
  • an alignment of the carrier 30 can also be carried out on the one hand with respect to the room walls and / or an alignment of the guide rail 6 with respect to the carrier 30.
  • the upper guide rail 6 is expediently bent over a complete circle and the door elements 2, 4 are each bent over an angular range of essentially 90 °.
  • the door elements 2, 4 can therefore be pushed backwards without problems in order to expose the entry opening, the width of which is essentially the same size as the diameter of the guide rail bent into a circle. This creates a particularly easy entry into the shower interior. Since the door elements 2, 4 are pushed when opening to the shower interior, which has a drain opening or a corresponding shower tray in the area of the floor, the leakage of spray water running off on the inside of the door elements is nevertheless avoided in front of the shower interior.
  • the upper guide rail can be aligned horizontally with respect to the fixed wall elements and / or independently of these. This considerably simplifies the assembly effort, since first the fixed wall elements, in particular with respect to the room walls, are firmly installed and aligned and only then can the horizontal alignment of the upper profile rail be carried out. Even if, due to local conditions, the wall element or elements cannot be aligned in the ideal manner desired per se, the independent horizontal alignment of the upper profile rail means that a reliable function and thus sealing by means of the door elements can be ensured.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the shower partition according to FIG. 1, the upper guide rail 6 bent in the form of a circular ring being clearly visible here. It may be noted at this point that within the scope of this invention there are also shower partitions whose upper guide rail according to the dashed line 31 deviating from the ideal circular shape, similar to an ellipse or oval.
  • the door elements 2, 4 are bent in such a way that in the closed position they are coaxial or parallel to the curved upper guide rail. As can be seen, the two door elements 2, 4 each extend over an angular range of essentially 90 °.
  • the inlet opening has a very large width, which is practically the same size as the diameter of the circular ring of the guide rail 6 or, in the case of an elliptical design, the guide rail is essentially the same size as its main axis.
  • the door elements 2, 4 are located vertically directly below the guide rail 6.
  • the roles of the guide elements 8 rest on the top of the guide rail 6, U-shaped brackets being arranged on the inside of the guide rail 6 and overall ensuring a stable suspension and guidance .
  • the inlet opening which is delimited by the profiles 22, 24 of the two fixed wall elements, extends over an angular range of essentially 180 ° with respect to the center 36 of the circular or oval upper guide rail 6.
  • the part of FIG upper guide rail, which is assigned to the inlet opening, likewise essentially over an angular range of 180 °.
  • the two side wall elements 10, 12 have a substantially smaller width 38 than the door elements 2, 4 or their secants.
  • the width 38 is of the order of a quarter of the diameter 40 of the annular guide rail 6; with oval or elliptical training is analogous to the length of the large one Semi-axis going out.
  • their sealing profiles 32, 34 lie sealingly on the inner sides of the vertical profiles 22, 24 of the wall elements in order to prevent splash water from escaping.
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged and partially cut the fastening of the guide rail 6 to the carrier 30.
  • the guide rail 6 is designed as a hollow profile and in particular with an annular cross-sectional area.
  • an insert body 42 is arranged, in which a threaded bolt 44 engages from outside through a bore in the guide rail 6.
  • the threaded bolt 44 penetrates an opening 46 of the carrier 30 and by means of two nuts 48, 49 the fixing with respect to the carrier 30 takes place.
  • the opening 46 is designed as an elongated hole extending in the vertical direction and the threaded bolt 44 and ultimately the guide rail 6 can thus be brought into the desired horizontal position.
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged and partially cut the fastening of the guide rail 6 to the carrier 30.
  • the guide rail 6 can have a horizontally oriented elongated hole for the threaded bolt 44; the guide rail 6 can consequently also be rotated and aligned accordingly in the circumferential direction. If necessary, an additional nut, not shown here, can be provided on the outside of the guide rail 6 for fixing it. Between the guide rail 6 and the carrier 30, a sleeve 52 is provided, which covers the threaded bolt 44 and the nut 48 in this area and, if appropriate, an additional nut provided on the outside of the guide rail 6.
  • the opening 46 in the carrier 30 can be designed as a horizontally extending elongated hole and the opening in the guide rail 6 as a vertically extending elongated hole; in this case, the mentioned further nut is to be provided on the outer surface of the guide rail 6 for horizontal fixing.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 show an enlarged view of the fastening of the guide rail 6 to the vertical profile 22 of the wall element 10.
  • the angle part 26 already mentioned is firmly connected to the guide rail 6, which can be done according to FIG. 3 with an insert body, not shown here; Furthermore, in the context of this invention, the angle bracket 26 can also be connected directly to the guide rail 6, in particular by welding.
  • the fastening elements of the guide rail 6 are thus arranged on the outside of the guide rail, the region below the guide rail being free of fixed wall elements, connecting parts or the like.
  • the door elements located vertically below the guide rail 6 can be guided unhindered past the fastening elements when opening or closing the shower partition.
  • the profile 22 is constructed in several parts and contains a first profile part 54, to which a second profile part 56 is connected by means of screws 58.
  • the first profile part 54 has a web 59 in the middle, so that there is a gap between the edge regions of the first profile part 54 and the second profile part 56, in which the vertical longitudinal edge of the plate of the wall element is inserted.
  • the plate mentioned expediently consists of a transparent material, in particular silicate glass. The plate or glass pane can thus be used in a simple manner for mounting in the said gap, the final clamping and clamping being carried out by tightening the screw 58 mentioned.
  • a cover profile 60 which has webs 62 on the inside, which are preferably designed as latching means and are at a distance from one another corresponding to the width of the second profile part 56. After the necessary assembly and adjustment measures have been carried out, the cover profile 60 with the webs 62 is pushed over the second profile part 56 and fixed with the snap-in connection designed in this way.
  • a bearing block 64 is fastened to the upper end of the first profile part 54, on which a knurled nut 66 rests at the top. This knurled nut is screwed onto a threaded pin 68 of the angle part 26. By turning the knurled nut 66, the angle part 26 and thus the guide rail 6 can consequently be moved and aligned vertically in the direction of the double arrow 70.
  • the bearing block 64 is provided at the top in the manner of a cap with a flange 74 in order to completely close off the profile rail 22 at the top. It is not necessary to emphasize that the upper guide rail 6 is attached to the other side wall element in a comparable manner.
  • the guide rail 6, which is curved as a circular ring, can be aligned without any problems into the required, exact horizontal position on account of the cardanic fastening and suspension explained. This is of crucial importance so that there is as small a gap as possible of a defined size between the lower edges of the door elements and a tub rim provided there or the floor, in order to prevent splash water from escaping in conjunction with elastic sealing lips.
  • the guide part 8 for hanging the door 2 on the horizontal guide rail 6 is shown enlarged.
  • the guide part 8 contains a bracket 76, which is expediently essentially U-shaped.
  • the upper and lower legs or ends of the bracket 76 run substantially parallel to one another and / or horizontally.
  • a guide roller 78 is rotatably arranged.
  • This guide roller 78 lies with its concave outer surface 80 on the curved surface 82 of the guide rail 6.
  • the lower end of the bracket 76 engages with a threaded part 84 through a bore in the door element 2 and through an eccentric insert 86 arranged there.
  • This insert 86 has for the threaded part 84 an eccentric center bore for the threaded part 84 with respect to its outer surface.
  • the door element 2 can be aligned horizontally with respect to the guide rail 6.
  • the final fixing is carried out by means of a nut 96 and a cap 90 forms the end on the outside.
  • the guide roller 78 and the cap 90 have essentially the same outer diameter.
  • the guide rollers 78 rest vertically on the top of the guide rail and the U-shaped brackets 76 arranged on the inside provide a stable suspension of the door elements arranged vertically directly below the guide rail 6.
  • the insert 86 has a flange 92, which preferably has a square outer contour.
  • the flange 92 and thus the insert body can be easily rotated in the desired manner for height adjustment.
  • the guide roller 78 encompasses the guide rail 6 over a comparatively large angular range 98, which is preferably of the order of 90 angular degrees. Taking into account the weight of the door element 2, this angular range 98 is predetermined in order to reliably prevent unintentional lifting off the guide rail 6.
  • the upper guide rail 6 is bent in the boarding area at an angle of 90 ° over a comparatively small radius of curvature.
  • the two fixed wall elements 10, 12 are arranged at right angles to one another.
  • the two door elements 2, 4 can be pushed completely behind the two fixed wall elements 10, 12, so that the distance between the two vertical profiles 22, 24 defines the width of the inlet opening.
  • the upper guide rail 6 or its angled sections are not arranged directly above the respective fixed wall element 10, 12, but rather corresponding to the angular parts 26, 28 arranged at a distance behind the respective wall element.
  • brackets 76 of the guide parts grip around the upper guide rail from the inside, the two door elements 2, 4 can thus be pushed completely behind the respective wall element 10, 12, with no impairment due to the connection of the upper guide rail 6 with the wall element having to be taken into account .
  • the angle parts 26, 28 which are arranged on the outside of the guide rail and move it into the interior
  • the brackets 76 of the guide parts 8 provided on the inside of the guide rail and encompassing it there ensures that the mobility of the door elements is not restricted by the connection of the guide rail to the wall element (s) and / or a support or the like connecting the guide rail to a wall of the room.
  • 11 and 12 show a further embodiment of the shower partition for use at a niche, which is indicated according to FIG. 12 by means of the dash-dotted lines 94 and is formed, for example, by corresponding solid room walls of a bathroom.
  • the guide rail 6 is just formed.
  • One door element 2 is in turn slidable behind the fixed single wall element 10.
  • a further profile 23 is provided on the other side of the inlet opening for connection to the room wall ending there. This takes place in the same way as with the connecting element 14 of the wall element 10 explained at the outset.
  • the upper guide rail 6 is connected to the respective vertical profile by means of three angle parts 26 to 28, as explained above with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In this embodiment, too, the upper profile rail 6 can therefore be aligned horizontally precisely and with little effort regardless of the arrangement and orientation of the wall element 10 and the vertical profiles 22, 23.
