Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bathtub with an elongated trough part, which is delimited at one end by an inclined back part and at the other end by a foot part, the trough part ending at the top in a substantially horizontally oriented, peripheral edge part.
  • GB-A-931 754 also discloses a tub with a hexagonal edge contour, which allows the tub to be set up both on a longitudinal wall of the room and in a corner of the building.
  • the possible variations to be used to utilize the different spatial conditions are limited.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a bathtub of the type mentioned at the outset, which allows better use of space by means of improved installation options.
  • the edge part in the area of the back part ends in a connecting surface, the horizontal central axis of which is oriented at an angle ⁇ to the longitudinal axis of the trough part and whose width corresponds at least approximately to the trough width, measured transversely to the longitudinal axis of the trough part in Height of the edge part.
  • a connecting surface the horizontal central axis of which is oriented at an angle ⁇ to the longitudinal axis of the trough part and whose width corresponds at least approximately to the trough width, measured transversely to the longitudinal axis of the trough part in Height of the edge part.
  • the tub can also be placed as a corner bathtub with the trough part transversely to the corner of the building or projecting into the room in a corner of the building, with good access to the tub itself and also good accessibility of the room below and above the connection surface.
  • the length of the connection surface corresponds approximately to half the trough width.
  • the length is measured from the upper interior along the central axis.
  • the angle enclosed by the central axis of the connecting surface and the longitudinal axis of the trough part is 135 °. It is also expedient here if the outer edges of the connection surface run at right angles to one another.
  • connection surface has a slope at least over a part in the direction of the trough part. This ensures that no residual water remains on the connection surface after bathing or showering.
  • a partial length of the outer edge of the tub edge delimiting the foot part extends at an angle ⁇ of 90 ° to the associated outer edge of the connection surface.
  • the edge of the trough which is assigned to the two mutually associated outer edges and which in each case extends at an angle ⁇ of 90 ° to one another extends from the foot end with increasing transverse distance to the edge of the connecting surface.
  • the invention further relates to a bathtub, in particular the design of a bathtub with the features specified above, which is characterized in that the inner edge of the trough part has a teardrop-shaped contour when viewed from the top of the tub edge, the tapering area of which forms the foot part.
  • a tapering foot area reduces the filling volume of such a bathtub, and is therefore water-saving, without impairing comfort.
  • this design allows a number of aesthetic designs that were not possible with the previous tub shape.
  • Such a drop-shaped contour for the trough part is therefore advantageous not only for the bathtub according to the invention with a connection surface but also for bathtubs without such a connection surface. With an approximately hexagonal outer contour of the tub edge, there are also various installation options.
  • FIG. 1 The embodiment of a bathtub shown in FIG. 1 has an elongated trough part 1 which is delimited at one end by an inclined back part 2 and at the other end by a foot part 3.
  • the trough part 1 ends at the top in an essentially horizontally oriented edge part 4.
  • the edge part 4 widens to a connection surface 5, the horizontal central axis 6 of which is aligned at an angle ⁇ to the longitudinal axis 7 of the trough part 1.
  • the width b of the connection surface 5 corresponds at least approximately to the trough width, measured transversely to the longitudinal axis 7 of the trough part 1 at the height of the edge part 4.
  • the length c of the connection surface 5 corresponds approximately to half the trough width. However, the length c can also be dimensioned larger or smaller than the dimension given by the trough width.
  • connection surface 5 This depends in particular on whether, for the intended use, the space below the connection surface 5 is required as a closed space, for example for accommodating “technology”, as in the case of the tub as a whirlpool tub.
  • the free outer edges 8, 9 and 10 of the connecting surface 5 run at right angles to one another.
  • the area of the connection area delimited by the dash-dotted line 5 ' is provided with a slight slope in the direction of the trough part 1, so that water located at the connection point 5 can run off at any time.
  • a partial length 11 of the outer edge of the tub edge delimiting the foot part 3 extends at an angle ⁇ of 90 ° to the associated outer edge 9 of the connecting surface 5, the partial length 11 and the assigned outer edge 9 of the connecting surface 5 to the remaining longitudinal edge 12 each at an angle of 135 ° are aligned.
  • the trough part 1 can now basically have the usual oval outline.
  • the trough part is in its supervision on the tub edge level designed drop-shaped, the tapered area of the drop-shaped contour forming the foot part 3.
  • the edge 13 facing away from the two mutually associated outer edges 9 and 11 extends from the foot part 3 with increasing transverse distance to the longitudinal axis 7 of the tub until it adjoins the edge 8 of the connecting surface 5.
  • this course of the edge 13 can have a curved contour. In the same way, however, a linear or differently shaped contour is also possible.
  • FIG. 2 the bathtub is gem.
  • Fig. 1 in the form of a corner tub in a building corner.
  • the remaining dark hatched gusset 14 is filled with a cover adjoining the tub edge, which can either be designed as an additional component or is then already formed directly on the tub edge.
  • FIG. 3 another installation option for a corner of the building is shown.
  • Fig. 6 shows the installation of the bathtub in a small bathroom in a corner arrangement.
  • the illustration shows on the one hand that there is still sufficient space for a sink 15 and a toilet 16 in addition to the bathtub.
  • the illustration also shows that there is also sufficient free space for opening the door 17.
  • the particular advantage of this bathtub design is that even in such a small bathroom it is possible to set up a bathtub equipped as a whirlpool, since the entire surface under the connection surface 5 Technology, ie control and pump, can be accommodated.
  • the pad 5 itself can be used as a seat but also as a storage surface.
  • the area of the connecting surface 5 also offers the possibility of attaching towel racks to the wall or directly connected to the tub.
  • Fig. 7 shows the installation of the bathtub, in which the connection surface 5 is inserted into the corner of the building.
  • the space under the gusset surface 14 is also accessible from the space and can be used for storage purposes.
  • the contour of the edge 13 tapering towards the foot part 3 also allows a sufficient opening width for the door in this installation.
  • FIG. 9 the bath tub to the wash basin 15 and to the toilet 16 is covered by splash walls 18, which can be part of a shower partition, for example.
  • the edge of the bathtub facing the room in each case is provided with a cover apron which extends to the floor, provided that there is not one in the area of the connecting surface 5 Inspection opening, doors, drawers, front fronts, or the like are present.
  • FIG. 14 and 15 show installation examples that the water-saving, drop-shaped contour, which does not restrict convenience, is advantageous even without the combination with a connecting surface 5.
  • 14 shows an embodiment as it is provided for a so-called corner bath.
  • FIG. 15 shows an embodiment which, using a trough part with a drop-shaped contour, can be set up both as a corner trough according to FIG. 14 and as a corner trough projecting into the room.
  • the contour shown in Fig. 15 deviates from the design acc. Fig. 14 characterized in that the back part 2 facing the tub edge ends in a right-angled tip 19, so that the tub according to both the corner tub in the installation.
  • Fig. 14 as well as a corner bath in the installation acc. Fig. 15 can be used.
  • installation with a longitudinal axis aligned parallel to the wall is also possible.
