Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bathtub by a a floor surface containing a drain, two side surfaces, a head end surface inclined to the floor surface and a foot end surface is limited, with the foot end surface to the floor surface is inclined in the same sense as the head end surface.
  • the surfaces go through rounded connection areas into each other.
  • the head end surface of conventional bathtubs is relative strongly inclined and closes with the floor surface Example an angle of 120 ° C.
  • the side faces are significantly less inclined, while the inclination of the Foot end surface often more or less that of the Head end area corresponds, i.e. roughly mirror-symmetrical to the head end surface.
  • Usual dimensions of a conventional bathtub including the upper area the horizontal edge surrounding the tub are e.g. 170 cm x 75 cm. Due to the inclination of the head end surface and the foot end surface the result is a comparatively short one Length of the floor area, which makes a person of normal size only take a lying position that is not sufficiently comfortable can. That is why e.g. 180 cm x 80 cm dimensioned bathtubs for use, but the Disadvantage that they are for installation in relatively small Bathrooms are little or not suitable.
  • Such bathtubs are e.g. from GB-PS 1 381 723, from CH-PS 196 938 or U.S. Patent 2,150,531.
  • the aim of the present invention is to create a bathtub find that in smaller bathrooms (e.g. in the so-called Object area) can be installed without changing the Outside dimensions has the longest possible floor area and thus allowing a normal sized person in the bath to lie without having to bend your legs.
  • the foot end surface in the interior the bathtub has a protruding, elongated bulge, which extends from the floor area to the top of the bathtub extends towards, the bulge on its the interior an overflow hose on the side facing away from the bathtub or an overflow pipe.
  • the overflow hose or the overflow pipe between the outside of the foot end surface and guided the support device where appropriate a recess for this in the material of the support device is provided.
  • the recess weakens the support device not essential as with conventional bathtubs the smallest material thickness for the support device given in the area of the top of the bathtub is. The material thickness increases towards the bottom surface, see above that at the level between the overflow set and the Adequate material thickness is available on the floor area is to provide a corresponding recess.
  • the bathtub according to the present invention is the location of the smallest material thickness Support device in the area of the foot end surface near the floor.
  • the bulge according to the invention provided on the foot end surface. In the field of Bulge is shortened the length of the interior, but in addition to the bulge, the maximum length is retained. If the bulge is central, in particular symmetrical to the longitudinal median plane of the bathtub, see above the bather can comfortably get his feet on either side of the bulge position.
  • an overflow set is installed near the foot end area, the one with the top end of the overflow hose or the overflow pipe is connected, and the bulge extends from the floor to the overflow set, which is thereby on a flat area of the foot end surface can be assembled.
  • a mechanism for actuation a closure in progress in particular a Bowden cable, on.
  • It can be an overflow device can be used in a known manner for Operating the closure of the drain serves.
  • the bulge is advantageously symmetrical to the longitudinal median plane of the bathtub.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vertical longitudinal section through a bathtub according to the prior art and Figure 2 an inventive Bathtub.
  • Fig. 3 shows one Section along the line III-III in Fig. 2nd
  • Fig. 1 shows a bathtub not in accordance with the invention in cross section, which for Suitable for installation in a niche with appropriate dimensions is.
  • the tub is made up of a head end surface 4, side surfaces 3, a foot end surface 5 and the bottom surface 2 limited.
  • Edge 6 surrounds that in that area 6a the foot end surface 5 connects, is designed wider.
  • the head end surface 4 and the foot end surface 5 aligned almost parallel, so that there is an undercut in the foot area.
  • Dashed line 15 is the course of the foot end surface shown in a conventional bathtub and you can see clearly that the special shape of the bathtub the length of the bottom surface 2 increased by the piece b becomes.
  • the edge region 6a has a width a that is so is chosen that the outer edge 6b of the edge region 6a slightly exceeds the foot end surface 5 by the amount c.
  • c can, for example. 1 cm, so the bathtub can be easy in a support device, preferably at an angle be used above. At the same time, the room is close to the floor Well used foot area.
  • the floor surface 2 be extended by 10cm (b) so that a 170 cm long bath a convenience of use of a 180 cm long, conventional bathtub, etc.
  • the Edge region 6a of the upper edge can have a width of 20cm, you compare this with the edge dimensions which allows the conventional shape with the same external dimensions, so this is much broader.
  • This broadened Edge area 6a can be used as a storage surface or as a surface for the installation of fittings but also electronic Controls for massage jets or the like are used be, if necessary also as a seat.
  • the drain 1 is arranged in that area of the floor surface the top view from the foot end surface 5 is covered.
  • the shape of the bathtub can be made using a deep-drawing process be formed.
  • the foot end surface 5 is not stronger than the head end surface 4 inclined, but also a conventional casting process find application, the removed the upper molded part diagonally upwards according to arrow 7 must become.
  • FIG. 2 is a bathtub according to the invention in longitudinal section shown in which one of the support devices Well-shaped shell 12, e.g. made of styrofoam is. It can be clearly seen that in area c the Shell 12 has a very small thickness.
  • the Overflow pipe 13 is to run at the foot of the bathtub, has the foot end surface 5 of the bathtub according to the invention an inwardly projecting elongated bulge 8, the extends from the floor surface 2 to the drain set 9. In this bulge 8 is on the outside, i.e.
  • the overflow pipe 13 added and that Material of the support shell 12 does not have a recess for that Have overflow pipe 13, as in previously known support shells, e.g. so-called tub supports made of polystyrene, so that the wall thickness of the support shell 12 on the foot side Forehead can be comparatively very low in the area c, resulting in an optimally extended floor area 2 results, without impairing any desired tiling of this end face because of the material thickness the support shell 12 following the area c increases on all sides and ensures adequate stability.
  • support shells e.g. so-called tub supports made of polystyrene
  • FIG. 3 shows the section III-III from FIG. 2.
  • the overflow pipe 13 is in the bulge 8 Foot end surface 5 added, the material of the shell 12 contains no recess.
  • the bowl 12 can do something deviate from the shape of the bath to create a cavity to form between the bath and the bowl 12, the the invisible part of the overflow set 9.
  • Fig. 2 Also shown in Fig. 2 is a preferred one Version of the bathtub, in which the near-ground Area 10 of the foot end surface 5 is steep, in particular almost is vertical, whereas the one that follows it is Section 11 of the foot end surface 5 to the overflow set 9 is designed flatter. This creates the desired undercut and the extension in the foot area of the bathtub achieved, yet the feet can be in more comfortable Posture in the end area of the bathtub.
