Abstract

The unit is partitioned off, e.g. from a bath (3) by an arrangement of one or more doors (7) as well as a partition wall (8) between the shower and the bath. A corner section (5) lies between the doors and the partition wall. The partition wall can be swivelled in towards the shower. Its length is such that its lower edge overlaps the top edge of the bath. Preferably, the partition wall is fitted with a magnetic section (9) and consists of a single panel of safety glass.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Duschabtrennung mit einem oder mehreren Türelementen und einer im Bereich zwischen der Duschtasse und einer Wandung, z. B. für eine Badewanne, vorgesehenen Trennwand.The invention relates to a shower partition with one or more Door elements and one in the area between the shower base and one Wall, e.g. B. for a bathtub, provided partition.

In Bädern mit einer Badewanne und einer Dusche befinden sich die Badewanne und die Duschtasse aus Platzgründen meistens in unmittelbarer Kombination miteinander. Zwischen der Duschtasse und der Badewanne ist als Teil einer Duschabtrennung eine Trennwand vorgesehen, die entweder auf oder neben der Badewanne fest installiert ist.
Ist die Trennwand neben der Badewanne fest installiert, besteht der Nachteil, daß zwischen der Trennwand und der Badewanne schlecht gereinigt werden kann. Ist die Trennwand auf der Badewanne fest installiert, muß zwischen der Trennwand und der Badewanne abgedichtet werden, was meistens nicht sehr schön aussieht, weil das Versiegeln von Hand geschehen muß. Die Trennwand kann darüber hinaus aufgrund der Höhendifferenzen zwischen Duschtasse und Badewanne nur nach Maß gefertigt und eingebaut werden.In bathrooms with a bathtub and a shower, the bathtub and the shower tray are usually in direct combination with one another for reasons of space. A partition is provided between the shower base and the bathtub as part of a shower partition, which is either permanently installed on or next to the bathtub.
If the partition is permanently installed next to the bathtub, there is the disadvantage that it is difficult to clean between the partition and the bathtub. If the partition is permanently installed on the bathtub, it must be sealed between the partition and the bathtub, which usually does not look very nice because it has to be sealed by hand. The partition can also only be made to measure and installed due to the height differences between the shower tray and bathtub.

Die US-A-1,815,291 beschreibt eine Badezimmereinrichtung, die aus einem Bade- bzw. Duschwannenteil mit einem Hauptteil von grundsätzlich gleicher Länge und Breite und mit einer Fußteilverlängerung an einem Ende, deren Breite deutlich geringer ist als die des Hauptteils, wobei die Wände des genannten Hauptteils und der Verlängerung einen einspringenden Winkel bilden. Die Tür- bzw. Trennwände sind als Faltelemente in rahmenloser Konstruktion vorgesehen.US-A-1,815,291 describes a bathroom device that consists of a bath or shower tray part with a main part of basically of the same length and width and with a foot section extension at one end, whose width is significantly smaller than that of the main part, the walls of the main part and the extension a stand-in Form an angle. The door or partition walls are as folding elements in frameless construction provided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Duschabtrennung zu schaffen, die bei Gewährleistung einer stabilen Gesamtausführung, egal mit welcher Türkonstruktion, eine Trennwand aufweist, die sowohl einfach herzustellen und einzubauen ist, als auch leicht gereinigt werden kann. The invention has for its object to a shower partition create that while ensuring a stable overall execution, no matter with which door construction has a partition that is both simple to manufacture and install, as well as easy to clean.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe geht die Erfindung von einer Duschabtrennung aus, mit einem oder mehreren Türelementen, einer im Bereich zwischen der Duschtasse und einer Wandung, z. B. für eine Badewanne, vorgesehenen Trennwand und einem zwischen dem beziehungsweise den Türelementen und der Trennwand befindlichen feststehenden Eckprofil. Die Trennwand ist nach innen zur Dusche schwenkbar ausgebildet und weist ein Längenmaß auf, mit dem sich ihre Unterkante mit einer Wandungsoberkante wie der Badewannenoberkante überlappt.
Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Trennwand mit einem Magnetprofil ausgestattet ist.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführung der Erfindung beinhaltet, daß die Trennwand aus einem Einscheibensicherheitsglas besteht.To achieve the object, the invention is based on a shower partition, with one or more door elements, one in the area between the shower base and a wall, for. B. for a bathtub, provided partition and a fixed corner profile located between the or the door elements and the partition. The partition is designed to be pivotable inwards to the shower and has a length dimension with which its lower edge overlaps with an upper wall edge such as the upper edge of the bath tub.
The invention is characterized in that the partition is equipped with a magnetic profile.
Another advantageous embodiment of the invention includes that the partition consists of a toughened safety glass.

Nachfolgend wird ein in der Zeichnung dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher beschrieben.Below is an embodiment shown in the drawing Invention described in more detail.

Mit 1 ist eine Duschtasse und mit 2 eine Trennwand mit einer eingebauten Badewanne 3 bezeichnet. Auf der Duschtasse 1 befindet sich eine Duschabtrennung, die an der Wand befestigte Profile 4, ein mit seinem unteren Ende festgesetztes Eckprofil 5 sowie die Profile 4 mit dem oberen Ende des Eckprofils 5 verbindende Profile 6 aufweist. Die Duschabtrennung weist weiterhin zwei Pendeltüren 7 und eine nach innen zur Dusche schwenkbare Trennwand 8 auf. Die Trennwand 8 ist mit einem Magnetprofil 9 ausgestattet, ebenso wie auch das Eckprofil 5 ein Magnetprofil aufweist, und besteht wie die Pendeltüren 7 aus einem Einscheibensicherheitsglas. Die Länge der Trennwand 8 kann entweder genauso sein wie die der Türen 7 oder auch verkürzt. Die Trennwand weist ein Längeneinheitsmaß auf, das für jeden Einsatzfall eine genügend große Überlappung der Trennwandunterkante mit z. B. der Badewannenoberkante gewährleistet.With 1 is a shower tray and with 2 a partition with a built-in Bathtub 3 designated. There is one on shower tray 1 Shower partition, the wall-mounted profiles 4, one with his lower end fixed corner profile 5 and profiles 4 with the upper End of the corner profile 5 connecting profiles 6. The shower partition also has two swing doors 7 and one inward to the shower pivotable partition 8. The partition 8 is with a magnetic profile 9 equipped, just as the corner profile 5 has a magnetic profile, and, like the swing doors 7, consists of a single-pane safety glass. The length of the partition 8 can either be the same as that of the doors 7 or shortened. The partition has a unit length dimension that a sufficiently large overlap of the for each application Partition bottom edge with z. B. the top edge of the bathtub.
