Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of housing amenities, and its purpose is a wall, said shower screen to use a bathtub as a receiver shower.
  • walls for equip bathtubs to screen against projection of water out of the tank include one or several panels connected to each other by sliding or in pivoting, which can rest in abutment against the edge of the tank or alternatively to be raised and folded down against the wall above the fittings.
  • a spring such that a gas spring provides assistance in lifting the or panels by the user.
  • Such walls are in particular described in FR-A-2683441 and WO-A-93/24042.
  • the wall weighs full weight to compress a joint at the bottom edge of the panel, and therefore in the lower position of the panel the spring does not push against the compression of the joint; it is also important to compensate for a possible lack of squareness between the frame and the edge of the bathtub.
  • the wall of the invention is of the kind abovementioned comprising at least one panel consisting of a frame formed of profiles supporting a glazing, the said panel being sliding mounted along a wall profile fixed to the frame by through a profile on which it is mounted swivel, so that the panel can either be in support against the edge of the tank in a so-called low position, or be raised, in a so-called high position, and be folded down against the frame above the tap, the said wall being equipped with lifting assistance means comprising a spring, gas in particular, housed in the wall profile and interposed in compression between support members respectively supported by the intermediate profile and the wall profile, so that the spring exerts a upward push on the intermediate profile slightly greater than the weight of the panel.
  • lifting assistance means comprising a spring, gas in particular, housed in the wall profile and interposed in compression between support members respectively supported by the intermediate profile and the wall profile, so that the spring exerts a upward push on the intermediate profile slightly greater than the weight of the panel.
  • the inventive step consisted in equipping the wall of means for deflecting the spring thrust of the support it takes on the support member supported by the intermediate profile, towards a stop supported by the wall profile, when the wall is brought to the low position.
  • the so-called means of deviation include means for breaking down the effort provided by the user to move the wall in translation with a view to raising or lowering it, a vertical thrust inducing said displacement of the wall on the one hand, and in a push perpendicular to the general orientation of the spring inducing an offset transverse of it on the other hand.
  • said deviation means for place the spring, either in abutment against the support member supported by the intermediate profile, either pressing against the stop supported by the wall profile, depending on the direction of displacement in translation of the wall.
  • the user has means of assistance to lifting the wall that it uses to raise the wall or alternatively it retracts when lowering of the wall, without having to worry, that is to say, perform additional gestures to those aimed at relieving and lower the panel.
  • the deflection means comprise antagonistic inclined support planes formed respectively on the stop and on said panel lifting support member, the distance d transversely separating the stop from the lifting support member of the panel being less than its transverse dimensions, so that the spring, depending on the upward or downward thrust exerted by the user on the panel, takes a sliding bearing alternately along each of the inclined planes, and finally is biased alternately towards the stop or the support member for lifting the panel, stop and support member against which it alternately bears when these are in a position overhanging it.
  • a bath 2 is equipped with a wall composed of several panels, such that 4, articulated to each other and made up of a glazing 6 supported by a frame formed from profiles, such as 8.
  • An end panel 4 is slidably mounted along a wall profile 10, via a profile 12 on which it is pivotally mounted 14, so that the panels 4 can either be lowered to a low position resting against the edge 16 of the bath 2 (fig. 1), or be raised to a high position to be folded down above valve 18 (fig. 2).
  • a spring 20 to gas exerts a thrust greater than the weight of the wall to provide the user with assistance in lifting it, the spring 20 being housed in the wall profile 10 and bearing on a member 22 fixed on the wall profile on the one hand, and on a member 24 supported by the profile intermediate 12. So that the panels 4 making up the wall rest tightly on the edge 16 of the bath 2, the invention proposes to break the support of the spring 20 on the wall so that it naturally rests from all its weight on the edge 16 of the bath 2.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 the thrust of the spring 20 is deflected between two supports, from one under the support member 24 supported by the intermediate profile 12, to another under a stop 26 supported by the wall profile 10.
  • Support planes 28 and 30 antagonists are respectively provided on the stop 26 and on the support member 24 of the spring 20 on the intermediate section 12. It will be noted that the distance d separating transversely the stop 26 and the said support member 24 is less than the transverse size of the spring 20.
  • the support planes 28 and 30 transversely urge the spring 20 and places it in engagement, either under the stop 26 under the effect of a downward movement ( arrow 1) of the intermediate section 12, as illustrated in fig.4 and dotted on fig.5 and 8, either under said support member 24 under the effect of an upward movement (arrow 3 ) of the intermediate section 12, as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 5 and 8.
  • the wall 4 is automatically freed from all ascending constraints for naturally rest on the edge 16 of the bath 2 when of its lowering by the user, and automatically placed under the thrust effect of the spring 20 during its lifting.
  • the intermediate section 12 is guided with play along the second corridor 34 via a couple of trains rollers 36 which it supports at each of its ends.
