Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wall element for steam cabins with a base made of plastic, preferably made of acrylic, the base having at least one seating step and / or a step.
  • Wall elements of the type in question are known, for example, from the "Whirlpools and Steam Baths" brochure from Hoesch Metall + Kunststoffwerk GmbH & Co.
  • the wall elements are assembled into steam booths and are usually made of non-porous, dirt and bacteria-repellent plastic, especially acrylic. As a rule, they have a constant material thickness and a particularly smooth surface. Benches and step elements are integrated into the wall elements - in steps. A step is required to reach a bench because the bench is located at a large distance from the floor in view of the increasing steam density and temperature in the steam cabin and the associated improved effect on the circulation, blood circulation and airways .
  • the previous wall elements with integrated seat and step are problematic in practice.
  • the seat and foot area of the wall element are particularly exposed to mechanical stress, since the greatest pressure and tensile forces or bending forces act there when the steam cabin is used.
  • the step in particular has to absorb almost a point load when it is stepped on.
  • the smooth plastic surface there is a great risk of slipping or slipping on both the seat and the step.
  • Another disadvantage is that the mechanical stress on the base body during use can damage the surface. For example, scratches or other signs of abrasion can occur. Bacteria could nest in the rough surface. In any case, the surface becomes unsightly and even brittle during use. Furthermore, body contact with both the smooth and the worn plastic surface is perceived as physiologically unpleasant. In addition, the conventional wall elements can in any case not give a homely impression.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing a wall element for steam cabins of the type in question in such a way that on the one hand the safety for the user is increased and on the other hand wear and tear is counteracted. In addition, an optical upgrade of the wall element is to be achieved.
  • the wall element according to the invention is designed in such a way that a bending-resistant component is integrated in the seat step and that the component forms at least partially the seat of the seat step.
  • the wall element according to the invention is designed such that an inorganic non-metallic component is integrated in the step and that the component at least partially forms the step surface of the step.
  • the safety of a user can be increased if, on the one hand, the stability of the wall element in the seat or step area is increased with regard to the attacking tensile and compressive forces or bending forces, and on the other hand the risk of slipping is reduced. It has also been recognized that wear and tear can be counteracted if a surface modification is carried out in the area of the base body that is subject to stress. Furthermore, it has been recognized that there are basically two possible configurations, namely that either the step surface of the step or the seat surface of the seat step is modified according to the invention.
  • a flexurally rigid component which forms at least partially the tread or the seat surface increases the safety of the user and counteracts wear.
  • An inorganic-non-metallic component for example, can be used to achieve a favorable distribution of compressive and tensile forces and to increase the abrasion resistance.
  • such a component can improve the sure-footedness, liability and thus sure-footedness, especially with regard to the step. Better adhesion also affects the seating level to avoid slipping off the mostly rounded edge areas of the seat.
  • the seat and tread surface could be provided with rigid components, but also the backrest of the wall element.
  • Another advantage of using such additional components can be seen with regard to the higher heat storage capacity compared to plastic due to the higher density of such materials. This also results in increased well-being for the user.
  • the higher abrasion resistance of an inorganic non-metallic component compared to plastic should be emphasized.
  • the lifespan of the seats or treads provided with such components is, with the same quality, incomparably longer than for treads or seat surfaces made of plastic.
  • the sanitary character of the steam cabin is softened and a homely impression and thus an optical enhancement of the steam cabin is achieved.
  • both the step and the seat step are provided with a bend-resistant component. In this way, optimal wear protection of the base body and an improved load-bearing capacity in both relevant stress areas are realized.
  • the component - namely to serve as a step and / or seat surface - it is essentially flat. At least the side of the component that serves as the seat or tread surface should be largely flat.
  • the component is preferably designed in the form of a plate. From a hygienic point of view, fine structures should be avoided. An open-pore structure of the component is prohibited for the same reason and possibly for reasons of vapor tightness.
  • the step or seat step has a recess in the area of the step or seat surface into which the component is inserted.
  • This recess could theoretically be specified in the form of a recess during the manufacture of the base body.
  • the component could advantageously fill the recess approximately in a form-fitting manner. It should be ensured here that the component can be removed from the recess again in order to enable a possible desired exchange.
  • the top of the component could extend in the plane of the tread or seat surface of the respective step. If several components are lined up in the tread or seat surface and these extend to the edge area of the tread or seat surface of the respective plastic step, it would also be conceivable that the components lying one below the other in their entirety out of the plane the step or seat of the respective step protrude slightly.
  • the component could expediently be attached via its underside.
  • the edge areas of the component could also be considered for fixing to the base body.
  • the upper side of the component is largely ruled out as an attachment option with regard to the design of the step or seat surface.
  • the base body has a reinforcement which can be connected directly or indirectly to the underside of the component.
  • the reinforcement could be designed as an abutment that the component down - i.e. supported from the back of the wall element.
  • the component could on the one hand contact the reinforcement or rest on it or be pressed against it and on the other hand be clamped in the recess.
  • the reinforcement could, for example, be designed as a metal structure, in particular as a metal cross or the like, which is arranged below the step or seat surface.
  • glass fiber reinforced laminate is preferably used to fix the component and used to strengthen the step or seat area. With regard to the optimal use of the tensile strength of the fibers, their orientation in relation to the seat or tread surface is an advantage.
  • a connecting means is arranged between the reinforcement and the underside of the component.
  • the connecting means is designed as a plate and also serves as an adhesion promoter for reinforcement.
  • the connecting means is preferably made of plastic and could form an integral connection with the GRP laminate on the one hand and with the component on the other.
  • the component and the connecting means could be pre-assembled.
  • An adhesive could be used to form the integral connection. Due to the prefabrication, a separate fixing process - namely that between the connecting means and the component - can advantageously be omitted when the wall element according to the invention is created.
  • the component could be detachable from the base body.
  • either the connection of the reinforcement to the component or to the connecting means arranged between the component and reinforcement or the connection between the component and connecting means could be detachable.
  • the adhesive forces could be overcome mechanically and / or chemically, for example by adding a solvent.
  • a joint remaining between the component and the base body is sealed with a sealant, in particular with silicone.
  • a silicone seal also ensures - if necessary in addition to the laminate seal from the underside of the step or seat step - an effective vapor barrier or moisture barrier.
  • the joint material could also have a chemically detachable composition exhibit. It should be noted here that if the component is removed chemically from a plastic anchor, the wall element itself must not be attacked by the solvent.
  • the building could also be contained in a frame and be removable from this frame.
  • the frame could be fixed to the base body as previously explained for the component with the advantage that the frame does not have to be removed mechanically or chemically from a material compound, but only the component has to be introduced into the frame or removed from the frame .
  • the component could be fixed within the frame by a press seal relative to the frame.
  • the component could be made of ceramic, artificial stone or natural stone, possibly also made of shatterproof glass or glass ceramic.
  • a stoneware tile is used as the component, which has a dense body.
  • the component could advantageously enhance the appearance of the wall element on the one hand and conceal an inspection opening on the other.
  • the aforementioned materials can create a homely impression in the conventional steam cabin, which only has the character of a sanitary object.
  • a particularly tread-proof or non-slip variant of a component could be, for example, in a mosaic-like configuration or in another configuration that is roughly structured, for example non-engaging elevations of low height.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of a wall element for a steam cabin, this wall element comprising a base body 1 made of acrylic with a seat step 2 and a step 3.
  • an inorganic-non-metallic component 4 is integrated both in the step 3 and in the seat step 2, which partially forms the step surface 5 of the step 3 on the one hand and the seat surface 6 of the seat step 2 partly on the other hand.
  • the component 4 is - as can be seen particularly from FIG. 2 - flat, namely as a plate 7, and is inserted into a recess 8 of the step 2 shown here.
  • the component 4 fills the recess 8 approximately in a form-fitting manner and the top 9 of the component 4 extends in the plane of the tread surface 5.
  • Fig. 2 further shows that the component 4 is fixed indirectly to the base body 1 via its underside 10. Furthermore, it can be seen that the base body 1 has a reinforcement 11.
  • the reinforcement 11 is sprayed onto the underside 12 of the step 3 in the form of a GRP laminate.
  • the underside 12 of the step 3 is here partially formed by a connecting means 13 connected to the component 4 or to its underside 10. 2 shows that the reinforcement 11 extends into the region of the recess 8 and thus also produces a lateral connection between the base body section of the step 3 and the connecting means 13.
  • direct contact of the reinforcement 11 with the side edge regions of the component 4 within the recess 8 is also conceivable.
  • the connecting means 13 is designed as a stable plate, serves as an adhesion promoter between the component 4 and the reinforcement 11 and is made of plastic.
  • the joint which is formed between the base body 1 and the component 4 and is not specified, is sealed with a sealant 14, in the exemplary embodiment shown here with silicone.
  • the component 4 is made of ceramic. In concrete terms, it is a stoneware tile.
