Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shower partition according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • corner or round showers are known, for example from BE-A-733 575, according to which sliding doors are slidably arranged behind an upper and lower profile rail. In the closed state, they block off an entry opening, along which the profile rails are curved, for example in a quarter circle. In the open position, however, curved door elements narrow the interior and thus the entry width, although they largely slide behind fixed side walls.
  • a curved sliding door can be moved behind a fixed arch wall on its own guidance.
  • the double curve rail required here represents an increased effort and can also be a hindrance to entry.
  • a round shower according to EP-A1-0 324 428 therefore dispenses with a lower guide rail and relocates the load-bearing guide into an upper profile, the end bend pieces of which are attached to fixed, flat wall elements.
  • EP-B1-0 119 514 describes a comparable structure, but the profile rail runs straight out and at least four flat door elements are used, which can be pushed together in pairs to close the entrance in a polygonal manner.
  • At least two splash protection elements are provided in the form of one-piece doors which are rigid in the direction of their vertical expansion, but are flexible transversely thereto and can be moved up or past posts which limit the access opening at the side.
  • no rigid (flat or curved) doors or door segments are used, so that the design effort required for this is eliminated.
  • the one-piece, transversely to the high expansion doors according to the invention not only adapt themselves to different radii of predetermined shower trays, but also to the respective curved track. This also considerably simplifies assembly and handling.
  • each door can be formed by a plate between edge strips, preferably made of transparent plastic, which is grooved in the direction of vertical expansion.
  • These parallel grooves in particular give the door panel a high degree of flexibility.
  • only outer grooves are present on the door according to claim 3, while the inner surface is continuously smooth, which is advantageous for water drainage and cleaning.
  • the grooves can be alternately embedded in the door from the outside and from the inside, whereby the adaptation to any curvature or corners is still supported.
  • the development according to claim 6 provides that the groove depth extends up to webs of such wall thickness that adjacent plate segments are connected to the webs in a bendable or foldable manner.
  • This design differs significantly from conventional sectional doors, which always required additional joints or joint elements between adjacent panel segments.
  • the grooved doors according to the invention are, however, in one piece, so that additional hinge elements are just as unnecessary as adhesive connections, for example with a flexible backing sheet in the manner of roller cabinet doors.
  • the flexibility of the door panel is greatly promoted if the web wall thickness is dimensioned as small as possible, which depends on the smallest desired radius of curvature.
  • a web wall thickness of at most one third of the plate thickness, preferably at most one fourth of the groove depth, is favorable.
  • a natural lower limit of e.g. 0.5 mm web wall thickness is given by the strength of the material used.
  • At least the plate segments facing the adjacent wall can be opened by opening the door to be folded inwards. Such a design is useful where little or no space is available for side panels.
  • the edge strips of the door can be designed according to claim 9 as stops and / or handles or carry such.
  • the posts support the upper profile rail, whereby this cannot sag even with insufficient wall mounting and a constant height distance to the lower profile rail is ensured, so that the doors can always be easily moved.
  • the posts are displaceable towards the wall strips, for example on idlers. This makes it possible to change the width of the entrance opening if necessary. If, according to claim 12, a side field is motionally connected to the post (s), the latter can also be moved, which opens up, for example, a further entry possibility. A driver located on the assigned door allows the side panel to be pulled along with the post when the door is closed.
  • each side panel is pivotable about a vertical axis, namely inwards about a joint arranged near or on the adjacent wall bar.
  • a person in the closed shower to reach outwards, for example to a storage tray, a wall hook or the like arranged on the outside according to claim 14, in order to access stored items such as soap, towels, etc.
  • at least one side panel can be cross-divided, so that an upper part forms a type of pivoting window without the lower part having to be moved, which can remain closed as a splash guard.
  • Yet another embodiment of the invention provides that the upper profile rail is supported on the wall side by a support or hanging bracket, which optionally or additionally ensures the stability of the installed shower partition.
  • the invention further takes into account, according to claim 17, a shower partition with at least three doors, which are movable individually or in pairs or all in both sliding directions.
  • a shower partition with at least three doors which are movable individually or in pairs or all in both sliding directions.
  • the increased number of vertical supports or posts increases the stability of the construction, which can nevertheless be carried out in a lightweight construction.
  • a corner or round shower designated overall by 10, is constructed on a shower base 12 and fastened to the adjacent room walls with wall strips 14.
  • the shower partition is movably supported by an upper profile rail 16 and guided along a lower profile rail 18.
  • each door 20 has grooves 26 on the outside which run parallel to the direction of the high expansion H (FIG. 2).
  • the groove depth t is preferably such that the wall thickness w of webs 42 between door segments or strips 40 is only a fraction of the plate thickness p, namely less than p / 3.
  • the wall thickness w which is dependent on the desired minimum radius of curvature, is even below 1: 4 in relation to the groove depth t. If extreme flexibility or foldability is required in a special case, outer grooves 26 and inner grooves 28 can alternate with one another as shown in FIG. 4, so that adjacent door segments or strips 40 each connect with opposing grooves and thus offset webs 42.
  • these one-piece doors 20 adapt easily to the profile rail curvature. If the door panels 20 are moved to the side, there is a wide entrance 30 which is delimited laterally by posts 32 (FIG. 3). The latter support the upper profile rail 16, the ends 36 of which are fixed in the correct position on wall connections 38 (FIGS. 1 and 8).
  • Movable side panels 34 can connect to the posts 32. It can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 that the side panels 34 can be designed as pivoting doors which can be pivoted inwards about a joint 60 arranged on the wall strip 14. Handles or grip strips 62 are provided for handling inside and outside. At least one side panel 34 can - preferably outside - a storage tray 64, a wall hook or button 66 and the like. wear so that a person in the closed shower enclosure can access things stored outside.
  • FIG. 5 shows that no continuous support is required for the door panel 20, but individual segments 40, e.g. three such segments are provided with an upper bracket 46 and a lower bracket 48. With the upper brackets 46 connected bolts 52 support rollers 50 which are movable on a track 54 in the upper rail 16. At the bottom edge 24 of each door 20, i.e. on the lower brackets 48, an outwardly directed projection 56 is provided, which is overlapped by a guide 58 of the lower profile rail 18.
  • a magnetic strip 68 is provided inwards, which interacts with an opposing magnetic strip 68 ', which sits in the associated side panel 34, so that in the closed state this forms a sealed splash protection element.
  • Fig. 8 shows the typical design of a hinge attachment for a side door 34 which is pivotally attached to a wall bar 14, which - adjustable by angle and distance - is fixed to a wall connection 38.
  • FIGS. 6, 7a, 7b A modified embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 6, 7a, 7b. Similar doors 20 are arranged movably on the profile strips 16, 18. The latter overlap guide rollers 70 at the top and support rollers 80 at the bottom, which are each attached to an upper support bar 76 and a lower support bar 78 via bearing bolts 72 and 82, respectively. Between the latter is a door panel 74, which can be moved together with the adjacent post 32 as a movable splash guard element.
  • Fig. 7a shows a partially open position and reveals that an edge strip 44 of the door 20 can have or form a driver 45 which - when the door 20 is advanced beyond the center line M - the post 32 by direct contact (Fig. 7b ) moves along.
  • the side doors 34 and 74 can be used for decoration and for other purposes, for example to accommodate a (not shown) whole-body mirror. Depending on the design, a wide variety of patterns and surfaces are possible.
  • the invention therefore provides a corner or round shower 10 with a shower base 12, which has at least two splash protection elements 20 in the form of one-piece doors 20 which are rigid in their high expansion H, but are flexible transversely thereto and can be moved or moved past posts 32 that laterally delimit an entry opening 30.
  • Each door 20 is formed by a transparent plastic plate between edge strips 44, which preferably has soft rounded grooves 26 that are only parallel to the high expansion H on the outside, while the inner surface is continuously smooth.
  • the groove depth t extends up to webs 42 of such a wall thickness w that adjacent plate segments 40 are permanently bendable or foldable.
  • the posts 32 support the upper rail 16; they can be displaced on support rollers 80 towards the wall strips 14 and each have a movement connection with a side panel 34. At least one side panel 34; 74 can be pivoted inwards in order to reach outer storage means 64, 66 from the inside.
