Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shower or sauna booth.
  • the lower guide track is generally made in the form of a metal section track with U cross section and parallel side walls with flat bottom so as to allow the lower edge of the door wing to penetrate into the channel more or less deeply while being guided laterally by the channel. This allows compensation for assembly tolerances and obviates any lack of parallelism between the upper and lower tracks.
  • the lower track is however a receptacle for dirt and difficult to clean and, because of the stagnating water therein, often leads to bacterial pollution which could become unacceptable.
  • the general purpose of the present invention is to obviate the above mentioned drawbacks by making available a booth with sliding door which would have a lower guide preventing stagnation and uncleanable dirt deposits, would offer excellent side guide characteristics for the door and allow the necessary vertical movement of the door.
  • a booth and in particular for shower or sauna comprising a door sliding between an upper door suspension track and a lower door guide track with the lower track identifying a channel for guided sliding of the door and the door comprising in turn sliding members with support surfaces sliding on side walls of the channel characterized in that the channel has a curved internal cross section and the support surfaces are elastically movable transversely to the door sliding direction.
  • fig. 1 shows a booth indicated as a whole by reference number 10 made up of a base 11, a cap 12, side walls 13 and a sliding door 14 made for example of glass.
  • the door slides between an upper suspension track 15 and a lower guide track 16 of the door.
  • the upper track is virtually prior art. For example it could be made from a section of appropriate form on which slide rollers 17 constrained to the upper edge of the door. This track is readily imaginable to those skilled in the art and not further shown or described.
  • the lower track identifies a channel 18 for guided sliding of the door with the door comprising in turn guided sliding members 19 which have support surfaces 20 sliding on the side walls of the channel.
  • the channel 18 has a curved internal cross section e.g. with semicircular bottom so as not to display sharp internal edges.
  • the support surfaces 20 are elastically movable transversely in the door sliding direction.
  • the channel 18 is made in a single part with a plate 31 making up the bottom of the booth.
  • a plate 31 making up the bottom of the booth.
  • the guide channel and the sliding members can be masked toward the exterior of the booth by means of a raised edge 32.
  • the sliding member 19 has a generically overturned U structure to define a pair of elastic arms 21 facing each other across the channel.
  • Each arm ends with a support surface 20 sliding on the nearest side wall of the channel. If the elastic thrust of the arms is considered insufficient there can be provided between the two arms a flat spring 25 to thrust the arms apart.
  • the spring could be restrained with its ends bent within seats 26 in the ends of the arms.
  • the sliding member is formed with a first cylindrical part with vertical axis 22 with a coaxial discoid projection 23 near the lower base.
  • the sliding member has a slit 24 in an axial plane of itself which is open on the lower base and closed on the upper base of the cylinder so as to define the pair of elastic arms 21 and the support surface 20 respectively as two facing parts of the cylinder and two facing parts of the discoid projection divided by the slit 24.
  • the sliding member 19 is received advantageously in a complementary seat 27 located below in a terminal member 28 of a side section 29 of the door.
  • the same seat 27 can constitute a passage for a screw 30 for fastening the terminal member 28 to the section 29.
  • the sliding member 19 acts as a plug for the seat to preserve the screw from contact with water and moisture.
  • the form of the booth and its internal accessories could vary depending on necessity.
