Description

The present invention relates to a water catch device for shower devices according to the preamble of claim 1.

Conventional shower enclosures usually have a shower basin Shower or bath tub and the like at least a folding or swinging door that around a vertical axis pivoted and often with at the bottom a sealing strip is provided. For example, in DE-OS 37 20 121 Door for shower cubicles described, which has a border at the bottom, which is connected to the inside with a horizontal gutter. Because no There is a gradient, but it can run off on the door panel or window Water is collected, but not returned to the inside of the shower.

Similarly, DE-GM 85 21 682 describes a shower cabin with a folding door, which can be swiveled outwards and has a plastic sealing strip at the bottom with a wide shield lip, e.g. downwards by 45 ° is inclined to - in cooperation with an external threshold on the Edge of the shower tray - splashing water back into the cabin what but only succeeds to a limited extent.

An improved arrangement is disclosed in EP-A-0 281 745. The one explained there Shower partition has a swing door with a rim, in the A drainage channel is integrated inside the lower edge. This runs with little Slope from one to the other vertical edge of the door. Their turning or Swivel axis is offset by about a third of the door width, so that when opening water draining out the back of the door into the shower tray can flow back.

A disadvantage of the known constructions that they are rigid, so that the factory default design is immutable. That can already with the Installation, but also problems when using. Especially if large amounts of water have been used, the water recirculation can Opening the door is absolutely inadequate or ineffective, so that in the bathroom before the shower partition there is a flood.

It is an important object of the invention to overcome these and other shortcomings with simple Remedies. The aim is in particular a flexibly changeable one Construction that allows the water return to be changed according to the local and / or personal circumstances and also in small rooms or in confined spaces. It is also said to be independent of the arrangement of the pivot or pivot axis of the shower cabin door always a reliable and complete water return can be guaranteed.

Main features of the invention are set out in claims 1 and 14. Refinements are the subject of claims 2 to 13 and 15 to 21.

With a water safety device for shower facilities and cabins with at least one swing door attached to pivot bearings, a swing leaf or the like, on the lower edge of which there is an edging which is U-shaped is designed with legs and laterally carries a drainage channel, the invention provides according to the characterizing part of claim 1 before that with a drainage channel at the edge of the shower facing the inside of the shower, preferably on a neighboring U-bar, height adjustable is arranged and extends with a slope across the wing or door width. The allows the water drain to be adjusted in a very simple way as required, how it is cheapest under the given circumstances. The assembly of the Shower partition and especially the door remains unaffected.

The drainage channel advantageously has at least one clamping part, which is guided and fixed against the U-bar. This makes it great achieved mechanical stability. In particular, according to claim 3, the clamping part be a flat rail that is parallel to the top edges of the gutter runs and preferably has ribs on a door-side surface. That guarantees a good holder with easy adjustability.

According to claim 4, the or each clamping part can be integral with the gutter be. In this way, with inexpensive manufacture and assembly easy-to-use component.

In accordance with claim 5, the inn has an upper end, which as a deflecting surface sloping inwards and / or on the door side has a sealing lip, so that running on the door panel or window Water gets directly into the gutter.

An important measure according to claim 6 is that the leg is a Inner bar carries and with it delimits a space within which the Clamp part of the gutter can be installed at a selectable height and / or inclination, the inner bar and the clamping part facing stop or Have locking elements, e.g. opposed undercut edges that are interlock in the lowest position of the drainage channel.

In terms of production technology, it is very cheap if, in accordance with claim 7 Edge edging is formed in two shells, the shells of the U-legs are formed and inner floor profiles lying against the lower edge have. Their free edges can according to claim 8 from a terminal block be sealingly overlapped, so that the fitted terminal strip is also a Seals downwards.

Preferably, the inner bar according to claim 9 sets on the upper part of the U-leg on and overlaps the clamping part of the gutter, the inner bar of the Deflection surface starting essentially parallel to the adjacent U-leg runs downwards. Furthermore, claim 10 provides that the gutter in a lower area has an inward drip edge, which one Threshold bar can be facing. This design always ensures one complete and free water drainage inside, without manufacturing or assembly somehow interfere.

Alternatively, you can the inner bar according to claim 11 at the lower end of the U-leg attach and reach under the clamping part of the drainage channel. Becomes the drainage channel is adapted to the shape of the upper part of the U-leg, it runs Always clean water. This helps that the drainage channel on the clamping part side in particular has a convexly curved or sloping rib, which fits snugly against the top of the U-leg, or is in one piece with it. The or each clamping part has at least one lower stop edge, which the defines the lowest setting. The transition from the clamping part to the gutter can be as The throat should be designed to limit the height with the top edge of the inner bar Stop forms, so that the gutter reliably in the lowest position is supported.

Claim 12 provides that the upper edge of the inner bar to the neighboring one U-leg jumps in so that it is a counter-stop for one forms the lower area of the clamping part adjoining upper stop edge. This defines the top position of the gutter. If also the Transition from the inner bar to the adjacent U-leg one Reinforcement, cross-sectional enlargement or the like. security is achieved especially at the endangered cross-section, even if the drainage channel is inappropriate Exposed to stress, such as when a user stands on it.

For the assembly of the edging, it is advantageous if according to claim 13 elastic-resilient holding means are present on their inner surfaces, in particular protruding from the inner surfaces into the inside of the edging, deformable ribs, projections or the like. so that a tight fit at the bottom edge the swing door is guaranteed. The inner surfaces can have recesses for which have holding means, preferably immediately next to or below them.

Independent protection is claimed for the design of claim 14. It provides that the gutter has an outlet at the bottom of the slope, located on or near a lower pivot bearing. That means a considerable amount Progress over the state of the art, because on the one hand only streamlined There are drainage surfaces that do not allow residual liquid to enter Allow gaps and, on the other hand, because of the different needs practice can be taken into account, especially the possible Relocation of the pivot bearing is part of the customer's specifications. Of the Water drainage can be adjusted as required as given below Is the cheapest.

According to claim 15, the outlet is at or near the lower pivot bearing Assigned drain fitting, for example subordinate. From this on Surprisingly simple way the water flowing back in the gutter Swivel bearing area directed inwards. For this, the drain fitting can be loud Claim 16 a slope groove immediately adjacent to the lower pivot bearing have, over which the outlet ends, so that no water to the outside can leak. The most varied swivel angles of the door or Rotary wing takes into account the further development of claim 17, according to which preferably with a swivel base or integral one-piece drain fitting is designed as a manifold, the arc of a central angle around the Axis of rotation of at least 45 ° corresponds.

The training of claim 18, according to which, also offers diverse possibilities the particularly beak-shaped outlet at the bottom of a two-armed slope Drainage channel is arranged. It therefore has one - symmetrical or asymmetrical - Flat V-shape, with the outlet beak at the V-tip.

The invention is also applicable to shower enclosures or cabins that are on lower pivot bearing according to claim 19 locking elements with in the circumferential direction have alternating projections and depressions, for example spur gear Toothed pins, washers or the like., At least one of the locking elements in Circumferential direction can be offset and locked with a lock. This allows preferred angular positions of the swivel door or of the rotating wing Specify constructively and still manufacture according to customer requirements.

Constructively, it is expedient if, according to claim 20, the lower pivot bearing is one fastened on the edge of the bath tub or shower base or on a threshold strip Carrier and a counterpart, which is designed as a round body Enclose locking elements, one of which centers a bearing pin holds, which is guided in an associated hole of the other locking element.

This enables a space-saving and at the same time operationally reliable warehouse design.

Yet another feature according to claim 21 is that the top of the Threshold strip with a slope inclined inwards and / or curved upwards runs and for engagement in a base profile an inward nose edge has, especially near or in continuation of the top. You have with it a good finish on the edge of the tub or shower tray, which Freedom from injury is guaranteed, as is a tight bottom seal.

A shower cabin or partition 10 illustrated by way of example in FIG. 3 is seated on the edge R of a tub or shower tray 11 and has side parts 72 that with a wall connection 74 can be attached to a wall W. One each Swing door 12 out the side parts 72 posts 13 with a spar 60, the one has upper pivot bearing 61 and a lower pivot bearing 55. While the bottom Pivot bearing 55 can be fastened on the edge R of the tub or shower tray 11, the upper pivot bearing 61 has a head 62 for a support arm 76 which is either for Angled wall and attachable to the wall with a stop body 78 is or vertical in the manner of a telescopic rod with an abutment 80 the ceiling (not shown) supports.

From Fig. 1 and 2 it can be seen that the swing door 12 in the region of its lower edge 14 is provided with an edge border 16, which consists of two shells in the form of U legs 20, 20 '. These are covered with a suitable adhesive the lower area of the door 12 connected so that floor profiles 18 flush with the Connect bottom edge 14. The bottom profiles 18 are from a terminal block 21 overlapped, which is fitted between the lower ends of the shells 20, 20 ' and has sealing lips 23. These are the top of a threshold bar 15 opposite that on the edge R (with fasteners not shown) is attached and carries an inward drainage edge.

On the inside, the edging 16 on the U-leg 20 has an upper part 22, which is designed as an oblique or rounded deflecting surface and with a Inner bar 24 is in one piece, which parallel to this U-leg 20 downwards runs. Due to the given distance there is a space 29 for receiving one Clamping part 32 formed, which is in one piece with an inward and open top Drainage channel 30 is. It has a drip edge that is inclined downwards 26 and ends at the top with a rounded edge 35. The inner bar 24 as well the clamping part 32 have locking elements 25 directed opposite one another, for example in the form of undercut edges that are in the lowest position Drainage channel 30 bear against each other. To the U-leg 20 has the clamping part Ribs 27, which a bond and thus the positive fixing support the U-leg 20. This in turn is just like the opposite one Legs 20 'glued to the lower part of the door 12, for which purpose in the Shells 20, 20 'recesses 46 are present, which is a suitable adhesive between the inner leg surfaces 42 and the lower door part 12.

4 to 4d, it can be seen that the drainage channel 30 is at the bottom Rotary bearing 55 has an outlet 50, to which an outlet elbow 52 is assigned. If the door 12 is pivoted outwards (FIG. 4b), the outlet 50 is located immediately above a curved incline 54 of the drain elbow 50 so that water collected in the channel 30 flows out into the shower interior. This Drainage to the inside also takes place in other angular positions of the door 12 (Fig. 4c and 4d) when these in different angular positions inwards is pivoted away. 4c shows a wide open position, while in Fig. 4d illustrates the closed position of an arrangement, in the door 12 and side part 72 the obtuse angle of a tub (not shown here) or shower tray.

It can also be seen that the side parts 70 each have a holding profile 70 connect a sleeve 63 which surrounds the spar 60, which is the axis of rotation A central Are defined. The spar 60 can be raised and lowered by locking inserts 68, whose arrangement is shown in FIG. 5. At the lower part of the sleeve 63 is in this a support bushing 64 fitted, the bearing bushing 65 rotatably takes up and in turn sits on a base 67, which in one to the bearing bush 65 opposite round body holds a bearing pin 66. Are there the bearing bush 65 and its counterpart on the facing surfaces spur gear like with each other, so that the lower round body - which with a lock 69 can be locked in the desired angular position in the base 67 - has rising flanks. These force the sleeve 63 to rotate the axis A that the bearing bush 65 and thus the sleeve 63 lifts, whereby the pivoting of the door 12 to the next latching position is only possible becomes.

Another embodiment is shown in FIGS. 6a to 8b. With similar Edge edging 16 is here a threshold 15 with oblique inward sloping top opposite. The lower pivot bearing 55 consists of a Carrier 56, which is fastened on the threshold 15 by screwing (Fig. 6b) and has a central bore that has a bearing pin 66 of a pin holder 58 records. The latter is located between the left and right adjoining Portions of the edge trim 16 and is like this on the lower part of the door 12 fixed, in particular by means of a (not shown) locking screw.

The gutter 30 is flat in this example V-shaped and has one in the lower pivot bearing 55, the beak-shaped outlet 50 directly assigned (Figs. 7a to 8b). Depending on the arrangement of the axis of rotation A and therefore the pivot bearing 55 and 61, the arms of the gutter 30 can have different lengths and accordingly be inclined differently. The outer ends can be at one Border 17 can be fixed, which includes the edges of the door 12 (Figs. 7b and 7a). If the doors 12 are pivoted (FIG. 8), the outlet comes 50 to lie above the inclined drain surface of the threshold 15, so that this Drainage of the water collected in the channel 30 causes inward. A additional elbow is not necessary. The 90 ° positions of the Doors 12 are schematic in plan view in Fig. 8 and Figs. 8a and 8b, respectively drawn in side view.

Another exemplary embodiment of a closure element 10 is shown in FIG. 9a and 9b. This also has an edge border 16 and one Drainage channel 30. Fig. 10 shows these components after assembly in two Height positions of the drainage channel 30.

The edging 16 has two U-legs connected by a bottom 18 20, 20 ', which are slightly inclined to each other. At least on the upper part 22 of the a U-leg 20 there is a sealing lip 23. On the inner surfaces 42 of the two U-legs 20, 22 'are formed on retaining ribs 44, next to them there are recesses 46. The bottom 18 and the one U-leg 20 continue with an inner bar 24 which has a lower drip edge 26. The upper edge 28 of the inner bar 24 extends to the U leg adjacent to it jumping in. At the transition of the inner bar 24 to the U-leg or the Bottom 18 can have a cross-sectional enlargement 48 (indicated by dashed lines) to be available.

The gutter 30 is in one piece with a clamping part 32, which is preferably as Rail is formed and transverse to the edges 35 of the gutter 30 thereof protrudes downwards. This clamping part or the rail is between the inner bar 24 and the adjacent U-leg 20 can be used, preferably in area plant on the latter. An upper rib 34 provides the seal, while a lower stop edge 36 the deepest and an upper stop edge 40 determines the top position of the drainage channel 30. A throat 38 between the Drainage channel 30 and its clamping part 32 serve in the lowest position for support on the upper edge 28 of the inner strip 24. It can be seen that the drainage channel 30 can be removed from the edging 16 at any time, for example for cleaning purposes. An exchange is also possible without any problems.

Extruded plastic profiles with different areas are preferred Hardness or elasticity used. In the embodiment, there is Drainage channel made of soft PVC so that there is a certain amount of shock absorption while the rail 32 firmly connected to it consists of hard PVC. The softer material is indicated by cross hatching. It is also used for the retaining ribs 44 on the otherwise made of hard PVC Edge edging 16.

Different height positions are illustrated in FIG. 10. With pulled out Lines is drawn to the uppermost position of the drainage channel 30 one end of the end element 10 can be achieved. Dashed lines indicate that lowest position, which you can find at the other end of the swing door on the pivot side 12 to create the greatest possible gradient. Can on both ends Locking means (not shown) are provided, which are the selected setting fix.

The invention is not limited to the described embodiments; rather, numerous modifications are possible. The locking elements 68 cylindrical round bodies or flatter discs that are different - however, the same in pairs - numbers alternating in the circumferential direction Can have projections and depressions. The edging is preferably glued to the lower part of the door, the U-legs 20, 20 ' are additionally secured on the bottom side by the fitted terminal strip 21, whose sealing lips preferably closed when the doors 12 are full on the threshold 15 or the edge R of the tub or shower tray 11. The threshold bar 15 and the shells or U-legs 20, 20 'can be made of aluminum profiles be formed while the pivot bearings 55, 61 and support members (e.g. 62, 64, 74, 78) preferably consist of dimensionally stable plastic. The gutter 30 including Spout 50 is preferably made of crystal clear, elastically deformable plastic such as polypropylene, polyvinyl and the like.

It can be seen that a preferred embodiment of a water trap for shower enclosures and cubicles 10 on the lower edge 14 one Swing door 12 has a U-shaped edge border formed with legs 20, 20 ' 16 and laterally has a height-adjustable drainage channel 30, which is with Slope extends across the door width. At least one on the U-bar! 20 adjacent Clamping part 32 e.g. as a flat rail along the upper edges 35 of the Drainage channel 30. The leg 20 preferably has an inward end sloping deflector surface and / or a sealing lip 23 on the door side 24 delimits a space 29 for mounting the clamping part 32 in a selectable manner Height and / or inclination, supported by stop or locking elements 25, 40. The edging 16 can be made of two shells from the U-legs 20, 20 ' be formed by the floor profiles 18 together with a terminal strip 21 sealing are held together. The inner bar 24 is set in particular on the upper part 22 of the U-leg 20 and overlaps the clamping part 32 of the gutter 30, the has an inward drip edge 26 at the bottom. At the bottom of the slope is an outlet 50 near a lower pivot bearing 55, where an outlet elbow 52 is seated and there are locking elements 68 on a pivot bearing base 67, e.g. in Alternating projections and depressions. The top A threshold strip 15 can fall inwards and / or be convex.
