Abstract

A tip-up wall seat has a one-piece backrest (12) which has a planar rear side (14) and from the front side of which project bearing blocks (28) for providing a pivoted connection, between which bearing blocks the backrest (12) has an approximately horizontal stop face (30). The one-piece seat panel (32) is movable about the pivoted connection between a tipped-up rest position (R) and a pivoted-down sitting position, in which the seat panel (32) bears with a stop end (34) on the stop face (30) of the backrest (12). The stop face (30) extends from the front side to the rear side (14) of the backrest (12) approximately at the level of the pivoted connection and is an integral part of a peripheral, rear-side supporting edge (36) of the backrest (12), which delimits the lower end of the backrest (12) between the bearing blocks (28), which extend downwards beyond the stop face (30) over a length which approximately corresponds to the distance of the stop end (34) of the tipped-up seat panel (32) from the pivoted connection. This design of the tip-up wall seat prevents the accumulation of liquid residues on parts of the same. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wand-Klappsitz gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a wall folding seat according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Wand-Klappsitz ist aus der Druckschrift DE-A-3 324 456 bekannt.Such a wall folding seat is known from the document DE-A-3 324 456.

Der Vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe Zugrunde, einen Klappsitz dieser bekannten Gattung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß er mit geringerem Aufwand einfacher und wirtschaftlicher herstellbar und darüber hinaus im Hinblick auf die hohe Anforderung an die hygienischen Bedingungen in Bädern oder Duschkabinen so gestaltet ist, daß sich keine Flüssigkeitsreste, z.B. von Waschwasser, auf Teilen des Wand-Klappsitzes ansammeln oder absetzen können.The present invention is based on the object of improving a folding seat of this known type in such a way that it can be produced more easily and more economically with less effort and, moreover, is designed with a view to the high demands on the hygienic conditions in bathrooms or shower cubicles in such a way that none Liquid residues, e.g. of washing water, can collect or settle on parts of the wall folding seat.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 enthaltenen Merkmale.The invention solves this problem by the features contained in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Dadurch, daß der Wand-Klappsitz gemäß der Erfindung mit einem Teil seines peripheren Stützrandes die das untere Ende der Rückenlehne bildende Anschlagfläche für das Anschlagende der Sitzplatte bildet, ist die Rückenlehne unterhalb der Schwenkachse mit einem Minimum an Materialaufwand herstellbar, wobei gleichzeitig von der Vorderseite der Rückenlehne abfließende Flüssigkeit über die Anschlagfläche zur Wand des Dusch- oder Baderaumes abfließen kann.Characterized in that the wall-folding seat according to the invention with part of its peripheral support edge forms the stop surface forming the lower end of the backrest for the stop end of the seat plate, the backrest can be produced below the pivot axis with a minimum of material, while at the same time from the front of the Backrest draining liquid can flow over the stop surface to the wall of the shower or bath room.

Ebenso kann nach Benutzung des Klappsitzes von der hochgeklappten Sitzplatte auf der Sitzplatte angesammelte Flüssigkeit von der Ober- und Unterseite der Sitzplatte zum Anschlagende derselben und von diesem auf den Boden des Dusch- oder Baderaumes abfließen oder -tropfen, so daß keine nennenswerten Flüssigkeitsreste sich an Stellen des Klappsitzes ansammeln können, die schwer zugänglich sind und daher bei einer Reinigung des Klappsitzes leicht übersehen und daher aus hygienischen Gründen zu Beanstandungen Anlaß geben könnten.Likewise, after using the folding seat, liquid that has accumulated from the folded-up seat plate on the seat plate can flow or drip from the top and bottom of the seat plate to the stop end of the seat plate and from there onto the floor of the shower or bath room, so that no significant liquid residues accumulate in places of the folding seat can accumulate, which are difficult to access and therefore easily overlooked when cleaning the folding seat and could therefore give rise to complaints for hygienic reasons.

Weitere Verbesserungen werden durch die in den Unteransprüchen enthaltenen Merkmale erreicht.Further improvements are achieved by the features contained in the subclaims.

In den Figuren ist ein Wand-Klappsitz 10 aus Kunststoff, insbesondere für Bäder oder Duschkabinen, gezeigt, der aus einer Rückenlehne 12 und einer Sitzplatte 32 besteht, die an beiden Seiten durch eine Schwenkverbindung 38 an beiden Seiten, die jedoch in Fig. 1 nur an einer Seite dargestellt ist, mit der Rückenlehne 12 schwenkbar verbunden ist.In the figures, a wall folding seat 10 made of plastic, in particular for bathrooms or shower cubicles, is shown, which consists of a backrest 12 and a seat plate 32, which is connected on both sides by a pivot connection 38 on both Sides, which is only shown on one side in FIG. 1, is pivotally connected to the backrest 12.

Die Rückenlehne 12 ist einstückig ausgeführt und weist eine ebenflächige Rückseite 14 zur Befestigung an einer Wand auf. Eine Vorderseite 16 der Rückenlehne ist ergonomisch geformt. Von der Vorderseite 16 der Rückenlehne 12 stehen Lagerböcke 26, 28 vor, die sich zur Anordnung der eine horizontale Schwenkachse 18 bildenden Schwenkverbindung 38 im Bereich eines unteren Endes 20 der Rückenlehne 12 an beiden Seitenrändern 22, 24 derselben im wesentlichen senkrecht erstrecken. Die Rückenlehne 12 weist im Bereich der Schwenkverbindung 38 zwischen den Lagerböcken 26, 28 eine im wesentlichen horizontale Anschlagfläche 30 auf (Fig. 4 und 5).The backrest 12 is made in one piece and has a flat back 14 for attachment to a wall. A front 16 of the backrest is ergonomically shaped. Bearing blocks 26, 28 protrude from the front 16 of the backrest 12 and extend substantially perpendicularly to the arrangement of the pivot connection 38 forming a horizontal pivot axis 18 in the region of a lower end 20 of the backrest 12 on both side edges 22, 24 thereof. The backrest 12 has an essentially horizontal stop surface 30 in the region of the pivot connection 38 between the bearing blocks 26, 28 (FIGS. 4 and 5).

Erfindungsgemäß erstreckt sich die Anschlagfläche 30 von der Vorderseite 16 bis zur Rückseite 14 der Rückenlehne 12 etwa in Höhe der Schwenkverbindung 38 und ist integraler Bestandteil eines peripheren, rückseitigen Stützrandes 36 der Rückenlehne 12. Der Stützrand 36 begrenzt das untere Ende 20 der Rückenlehne 12 zwischen den Lagerböcken 26, 28, die sich über die Anschlagfläche 30 hinaus nach unten auf einer Länge erstrecken, die dem Abstand eines Anschlagendes 34 der hochgeklappten Sitzplatte 32 von der Schwenkachse 18 etwa entspricht.According to the invention, the stop surface 30 extends from the front 16 to the rear 14 of the backrest 12 approximately at the level of the pivot connection 38 and is an integral part of a peripheral, rear support edge 36 of the backrest 12. The support edge 36 delimits the lower end 20 of the backrest 12 between the Bearing blocks 26, 28, which extend beyond the stop surface 30 downward over a length which corresponds approximately to the distance of a stop end 34 of the folded-up seat plate 32 from the pivot axis 18.

Die Vorderseite 16 der Rückenlehne 12 ist am unteren Ende 20 gegenüber ihrem oberen Ende 42 nach vorne gekrümmt und endet in einer horizontalen Kante 44, an welcher der die Anschlagfläche 30 bildende Stützrand 36 in einem spitzen, sich zur Rückseite 14 der Rückenlehne 12 öffnenden Winkel nach unten und zur Rückenlehne 12 hin geneigt angesetzt ist.The front 16 of the backrest 12 is curved forward at the lower end 20 relative to its upper end 42 and ends in a horizontal edge 44, on which the support edge 36 forming the stop surface 30 follows at an acute angle, which opens towards the rear 14 of the backrest 12 is set down and inclined towards the backrest 12.

Die ebenfalls einstückig geformte Sitzplatte 32 ist um die horizontale, zur Rückenlehne 12 parallele Schwenkachse 18 der Schwenkverbindung 38 zwischen einer hochgeklappten Ruhelage R und einer heruntergeklappten Sitzlage S bewegbar, in welcher die Sitzplatte 32 mit einem über die Schwenkverbindung 38 hinaus überstehenden Anschlagende 34 an der Anschlagfläche 30 der Rückenlehne 12 anliegt (Fig. 5).The seat plate 32, which is also formed in one piece, is movable about the horizontal pivot axis 18 of the pivot connection 38 parallel to the backrest 12 between a folded-up rest position R and a folded-down seat position S, in which the seat plate 32 has a stop end 34 on the stop surface which projects beyond the pivot connection 38 30 of the backrest 12 abuts (Fig. 5).

Eine Sitzfläche 50 der Sitzplatte 32 ist bis oberhalb der Schwenkverbindung 38 bei 52 ebenflächig gestaltet, anschließend aber nach hinten zum Anschlagende 34 hin und nach unten allmählich abfallend ausgebildet. Die Sitzfläche 50 läuft dort am Anschlagende 34 in einer zur Schwenkachse 18 parallelen Anschlagleiste 54 aus, die in der Sitzlage S der Sitzplatte 32 mit der Horizontalen einen sich nach hinten öffnenden, spitzen Winkel sowie in Höhe und parallel zu der Schwenkverbindung 38 eine abgerundete, hintere Kante 56 bildet.A seat surface 50 of the seat plate 32 is flat even above the swivel connection 38 at 52, but then gradually sloping toward the rear towards the stop end 34 and downwards. The seat 50 runs there at the stop end 34 in a stop bar 54 parallel to the pivot axis 18, which in the seat position S of the seat plate 32 with the horizontal has an acute rearward opening angle and a rounded, rearward height and parallel to the pivot connection 38 Edge 56 forms.

Hierdurch kann etwaige, von der Rückenlehne 12 und/oder der Sitzplatte 32 im hochgeklappten Zustand R derselben abfließende Flüssigkeit in Richtung zur Wand, an der der Klappsitz befestigt ist, praktisch vollständig abgeleitet werden. Denn es sind sämtliche Flächen des Klappsitzes unter Vermeidung von unzugänglichen Stellen so glattwandig gestaltet, daß sie leicht zugänglich und zu säubern sind und eine Ansammlung oder ein Absetzen von Flüssigkeitsresten, wie z. B. Wasch- oder Badewasser, an Teilen desselben ausgeschlossen ist. Die in der Sitzlage der Sitzplatte 32 stufenartig nach unten abgesetzte Anschlagleiste 54 hat den Vorteil, daß die Vorderseite der Rückenlehne 12 bis über die Sitzfläche 50 der heruntergeklappten Sitzplatte hinaus nach unten bis zu der tieferliegenden Anschlagleiste 54 reicht, so daß eine Verletzung einer den Klappsitz benutzenden Person durch Einklemmen zwischen der Sitzplatte 32 und der Rückenlehne 12 vermieden wird.As a result, any liquid flowing out of the backrest 12 and / or the seat plate 32 in the folded-up state R of the same can be practically completely drained off in the direction of the wall to which the folding seat is attached. Because there are all surfaces of the folding seat so as to avoid inaccessible places so smooth that they are easily accessible and cleanable and accumulation or settling of liquid residues, such as. B. wash or bath water, is excluded from parts of the same. The in the seating position of the seat plate 32 stepped down stop 54 has the advantage that the front of the backrest 12 extends beyond the seat 50 of the folded seat plate down to the lower stop bar 54, so that a Injury to a person using the folding seat by pinching between the seat plate 32 and the backrest 12 is avoided.

Die Dicke der Sitzplatte 32 ist von ihrem vorderen Ende 46 zu ihrem hinteren Anschlagende 34 hin zunehmend stärker bemessen, wobei die Unterseite 48 der Sitzplatte 32 am Vorderende 46 derselben etwa in einer Ebene mit der Schwenkverbindung 38 der Sitzplatte 32 angeordnet ist. Hieraus ergibt sich die notwendige Lage des Schwerpunktes der Sitzplatte 32 in ihrem hochgeklappten Zustand hinter der Schwenkverbindung 38, so daß die Sitzplatte im hochgeklappten Zustand ohne weitere Hilfsvorrichtungen ihre Lage beibehält, aber, falls erwünscht, leicht in die Sitzlage heruntergeklappt werden kann.The thickness of the seat plate 32 is increasingly larger from its front end 46 to its rear stop end 34, the underside 48 of the seat plate 32 being arranged at the front end 46 thereof approximately in one plane with the pivot connection 38 of the seat plate 32. This results in the necessary position of the center of gravity of the seat plate 32 in its folded-up state behind the swivel connection 38, so that the seat plate retains its position in the folded-up state without further auxiliary devices, but, if desired, can easily be folded down into the seat position.

Die Lagerböcke 26, 28 stehen an den beiden bogenförmigen Seitenrändern 22, 24 der Rückenlehne 12 vom etwa oberen Ende 46 an deren Vorderseite 16 bis zu der Schwenkverbindung 38 hin zunehmend nach unten und außen vor, fallen unterhalb der Schwenkverbindung 38 geringfügig bei 60 zurück und sind am unteren Ende durch eine Stirnfläche 62 begrenzt, die mit der Rückseite 14 der Rückenlehne 12 einen annähernd rechten Winkel bildet. Die größte Tiefe zwischen der im wesentlichen von dem Stützrand 36 gebildeten Rückseite 14 der Rückenlehne 12 und einer Vorderseite 40 der Lagerböcke 26, 28 ist etwa in Höhe der Anschlagfläche 30 vorgesehen, welche die Anordnung der Schwenkverbindung 38 in einem Abstand ermöglicht, der etwa das Eineinhalbfache der Länge beträgt, mit der das Anschlagende 34 der Sitzplatte 32 über die Schwenkverbindung 38 hinausragt.The bearing blocks 26, 28 are on the two arcuate side edges 22, 24 of the backrest 12 from the approximately upper end 46 at the front 16 to the pivot connection 38 increasingly downwards and outwards, fall slightly below the pivot connection 38 at 60 and are delimited at the lower end by an end face 62 which forms an approximately right angle with the rear side 14 of the backrest 12. The greatest depth between the rear edge 14 of the backrest 12 essentially formed by the support edge 36 and a front side 40 of the bearing blocks 26, 28 is provided approximately at the height of the stop surface 30, which enables the pivot connection 38 to be arranged at a distance which is approximately one and a half times is the length with which the stop end 34 of the seat plate 32 projects beyond the swivel connection 38.

Da die Schwenkverbindung 38 mit zwei unabhängigen Teilen an beiden Seiten des Klappsitzes spiegelbildlich angeordnet ist, soll anhand der Fig. 7 nur ein Teil derselben nachstehend erläutert werden. In der Seitenwand der Sitzplatte 32 ist eine Gewindehülse 64 eingeformt, die mit einem Innengewinde 66 versehen ist. In dem Lagerbock 28 befindet sich eine durchgehende, glattzylindrische und querverlaufende Lagerbohrung 68, die koaxial zur Gewindehülse 64 verläuft und nach außen offen ist. Die Schwenkverbindung 38 der Sitzplatte 32 mit der Rückenlehne 12 besteht aus einem Schwenkzapfen 70, der mit seinem vorderen, mit einem Schraubgewinde versehenen Ende 72 in die Gewindehülse 64 eingeschraubt ist und mit einem äußeren, glattzylindrischen Abschnitt 74 in die Lagerbohrung 68 des Lagerbocks 28 drehbar eingreift. Die außenseitige Öffnung der Lagerbohrung 68 ist durch einen aus Kunststoff bestehenden Stopfen 76 wasserdicht verschlossen. Wie erwähnt, ist die an der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Klappsitzes vorgesehene Schwenkverbindung 38 spiegelbildlich entsprechend der in Fig. 7 dargestellten Schwenkverbindung ausgebildet.Since the swivel connection 38 with two independent parts is arranged in mirror image on both sides of the folding seat, only a part of the same should be shown in FIG. 7 are explained below. A threaded sleeve 64, which is provided with an internal thread 66, is formed in the side wall of the seat plate 32. In the bearing block 28 there is a continuous, smooth cylindrical and transverse bearing bore 68 which runs coaxially to the threaded sleeve 64 and is open to the outside. The pivot connection 38 of the seat plate 32 to the backrest 12 consists of a pivot pin 70 which is screwed into the threaded sleeve 64 with its front end 72, which is provided with a screw thread, and which rotatably engages with an outer, smooth-cylindrical section 74 in the bearing bore 68 of the bearing block 28 . The outside opening of the bearing bore 68 is sealed watertight by a plug 76 made of plastic. As mentioned, the swivel connection 38 provided on the opposite side of the folding seat is designed as a mirror image corresponding to the swivel connection shown in FIG. 7.

In Fig. 6 ist die Befestigung der Rückenlehne 12 an einer Wand dargestellt. Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, daß vier Bohrungen 78 in der Rückenlehne 12 zur Befestigung an einer Wand vorgesehen sind, von denen in Fig. 6 lediglich zwei gezeigt sind. Da sämtliche Verankerungen, wie Fig. 6 zeigt, ähnlich gestaltet sind, wird auch anhand der Fig. 6 nur eine der Verankerungen beschrieben. Es ist ersichtlich, daß die Bohrung 78 jeweils im Bereich eines rückseitigen Ansatzes 80 der Rückenlehne 12 vorgesehen ist, der bis in die von der Rückseite 14 der Rückenlehne 12 gebildete Anlagebene vorsteht. Eine Sackbohrung 84 an der Vorderseite 16 geht in eine durch den rückseitigen Ansatz 80 hindurchgehende Bohrung 86 kleineren Durchmessers über. Die Bohrung 78 nimmt eine Ankerschraube 88 auf, deren Kopf in der Sackbohrung 84 angeordnet ist und deren Schaft durch die Bohrung 86 hindurch in einen Dübel 90 eingeschraubt ist, der in einer Bohrung in einer Wand befestigt ist. Die Sackbohrung 84 ist wiederum durch einen Kunststoffstopfen 92 wasserdicht verschlossen.In Fig. 6 the attachment of the backrest 12 is shown on a wall. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that four holes 78 are provided in the backrest 12 for attachment to a wall, of which only two are shown in Fig. 6. Since all anchors are designed similarly, as shown in FIG. 6, only one of the anchors is described with reference to FIG. It can be seen that the bore 78 is provided in the region of a rear extension 80 of the backrest 12, which projects into the contact plane formed by the rear side 14 of the backrest 12. A blind bore 84 on the front 16 merges into a bore 86 of smaller diameter passing through the rear extension 80. The bore 78 receives an anchor screw 88, the head of which is arranged in the blind bore 84 and the shaft of which is screwed through the bore 86 into a dowel 90 which is fastened in a bore in a wall. The Blind bore 84 is in turn sealed watertight by a plastic plug 92.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 1, 2 und 4 zu ersehen ist, sind die Rückenlehne 12 und die Sitzplatte 32 an ihren beiden Seitenrändern und die Rückenlehne an der Oberseite sowie die Sitzplatte an der Vorderseite rund und zu den Rändern hin flach abfallend gestaltet. Infolgedessen steht selbst im Bereich der Lagerböcke 26, 28 keine scharfe Kante vor, gegen die eine sich in der Nähe des Klappsitzes aufhaltende Person stoßen und sich ggf. verletzen könnte. Diese Formgebung wirkt sich auch günstig bei der Reinigung des Klappsitzes aus. Darüber hinaus erhält der Klappsitz hierdurch ein ansprechendes Aussehen.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the backrest 12 and the seat plate 32 are designed on their two side edges and the backrest on the top and the seat plate on the front round and gently sloping towards the edges. As a result, even in the area of the bearing blocks 26, 28 there is no sharp edge against which a person staying near the folding seat could bump and possibly injure himself. This shape also has a favorable effect when cleaning the folding seat. In addition, this gives the folding seat an attractive appearance.

Tip-up wall seat (10) of plastics material, particularly for baths or shower cubicles, with a one-piece backrest (12), which has a flat rear surface (14) for fastening to a wall and projecting from whose ergonomically shaped front surface (16) there are substantially perpendicularly extending bearing brackets (26, 28) for arranging a horizontal pivotal connection (38) between the backrest (12) and a seat plate (32) in the vicinity of the lower end (20) of the two side edges (22, 24) of the backrest, between which bearing brackets the backrest (12) has an approximately horizontal engagement surface (30) in the vicinity of the pivotal connection (38), whereby the one-piece seat plate (32) is movable about the pivotal connection (38) between a folded up rest position (R) and a folded down sitting position (S) in which the seat plate (32) engages the engagement surface (30) of the backrest (12) with an abutment end (34) which projects beyond the pivotal connection (38),
    characterised in that the engagement surface (30) extends from the front surface (16) to the rear surface (14) of the backrest (12) approximately at the height of the pivotal connection (38) and is an integral component of a peripheral, rear support edge (36) of the backrest (12), which defines the lower end of the backrest (12) between the bearing brackets (26, 28), which extend downwardly beyond the engagement surface (30) by a length which approximately corresponds to the distance of the abutment end (34) of the folded up seat plate (32) from the pivotal connection (38).
  2. Tip-up wall seat as claimed in Claim 1, characterised in that the front surface (16) of the backrest (12) is curved forwardly towards the lower end with respect to its upper end (42) and terminates in a horizontal edge (44) to which the support edge (36) forming the engagement surface (30) is fixed inclined downwardly and towards the rear surface (14).
  3. Tip-up wall seat as claimed in Claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the seating surface (50) of the seat plate (32) is of flat construction to above its pivotal connection (38) but then gradually slopes away downwardly and rearwardly and terminates in an engagement ledge (54) which defines an acute angle with the horizontal and forms a rear, rounded edge (56) at the height of the pivotal connection (38).
  4. Tip-up wall seat as claimed in one of Claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the thickness of the seat plate (32) increases progressively at the underside (48) from its front end (46) to its abutment end (34), whereby the underside (48) of the seat plate (32) at the front end (46) of the same is arranged approximately in a plane with the pivotal connection (38) of the seat plate (32).
  5. Tip-up wall seat as claimed in one of Claims 1 to 4, characterised in that the bearing brackets (26, 28) on the two arcuate side edges (22, 24) of the backrest (12) project increasingly from its average height (58) to the pivotal connection (38), incline back slightly below the pivotal connection (38) and are limited at the lower end by an end surface (62), which forms approximately a right angle with the rear surface of the backrest (12).
  6. Tip-up wall seat as claimed in one of Claims 1 to 5, characterised in that the greatest depth between the rear surface (14), defined substantially by the support edge (36), of the backrest (12) and a front surface (40) of the bearing brackets (26, 28) is provided approximately at the height of the engagement surface (30) which makes possible the arrangement of the pivotal connection (38) at a distance from the rear surface (14) of the backrest (12) which is approximately one and a half times the length by which the abutment end (34) of the seat plate (32) projects beyond the pivotal connection (38).
