Abstract

The partition comprises one or more each fixed (12) and hinging door-sections (14). In the installed position the hinges (16a,16b) are offset inwards towards the shower basin, so that the door- and foxed sections can overlap if desired, while also allowing installation of a door-section. The fixed section can be brought into two different positions in relation to the door by turning through 180[deg] on a horizontal axis and turning on a vertical axis. The hinges can be mounted on the fixed section at the top and bottom and offset from the doorway.

Description

The invention relates to a multi-part arrangement for a shower partition according to the Claim 1. In the prior art, various different types of shower enclosures are or shower cubicles known, which are expanded into a wide variety of shapes. Doing there There are various modular systems, for example as a shower partition for one in a wall built-in shower or shower tray are intended, whereby a modular variant with corresponding design but also for a shower tray for installation in a Room corner can be provided. Here again there are the options of a rectangular one Floor plan, a polygonal, e.g. pentagonal floor plan or an arched floor plan to choose for the shower bases or accordingly for the shower enclosures. At acquaintances Systems that also have different dimensions for shower trays or shower enclosures must be able to cover, there are 90 or even more variants and accordingly one A variety of parts that a dealer or installer wanted to offer the entire range of variants can require a significant inventory and capital expenditure.

On the other hand, there are shower enclosures that are suitable for installation in a masonry or a Room corners are intended, but each have a surrounding frame and accordingly can be used variably or only to a very limited extent. Such Shower enclosures are usually one of the small costs at high costs Manufactured showers, which are not infrequently custom-made for special installation situations Single piece or only be produced with an extremely small circulation.

It is accordingly the object of the arrangement according to the present invention to provide for a shower enclosure that has an extremely small number of The greatest possible variety of individual parts for the greatest possible number of installation situations provides. Furthermore, it can be an object of the present invention be considered to reduce the required storage capacity. Another objective according to The invention can be seen in reducing the capital expenditure required for the provision an acceptable bearing to cover as many installation situations as possible.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide an arrangement for a To create a shower enclosure that, although already in a specific installation situation has been installed, for example in the event of a move that can be taken away by the owner, and adapted to other installation situations or other dimensions of other installation situations can be.

The advantages to be achieved according to the invention are based on a multi-part arrangement for a shower partition, the at least one fixed section and at least one has pivotable door section, wherein the pivotable door section via at least two pivot devices is connected to the fixed section, the door section is pivotally held, the pivoting devices in an installed state of the fixed section are offset inwards or to the shower base, so that the door section if necessary with the fixed section overlapping to the outside or from the shower base is pivotable away, the pivoting devices being arranged so that after a Rotation of the fixed section in the installed state around the vertical by approx. 90 ° and after one Rotation of the fixed section around the horizontal by approx. 180 ° in a different installation state of the fixed section inwards or towards the shower base are arranged offset, so that the door section may overlap with the fixed section is pivotable outwards or away from the shower base.

In this surprising way it can be ensured that a single fixed Section can be used for any number of installation situations. The fixed section of course a compensation profile to optimize the fixed section to be aligned with a wall, whereby inclinations or deviations from the perpendicular are compensated for can be.

Otherwise, the fixed section can use compensation profiles, for example for compensation have a shower tray that deviates from the horizontal, somehow one to be able to avoid tilted installation of a shower partition according to the invention.

It is essential, however, that the fixed section according to the multi-part arrangement Features according to the invention is essentially or completely identical, wherein the section on walls of a building arranged at right angles to one another or walls of a building which are arranged at 180 ° to one another can also be built around then any door leaf that can be within a certain size range to mount this, depending on the construction variant with overlapping door leaf and / or Door leaves that more or less overlap with the fixed sections, all imaginable To be able to cover installation situations and construction variants for a shower partition.

It is also important that the fact that the door section from a certain frameless Material is, for example glass, GRP glass or plexiglass, while the fixed section partly from the same material and partly from polished aluminum profiles or white or colored plastic profiles, even with any combination different door sections with the fixed section with features according to the Invention no color or structural deviations occur, so that always a Favorable visual impression with any multi-part arrangement with features according to the invention for a viewer.

Of course, there can be no excessive overlap between the fixed Section and the pivoting door section to create a fixed section be manufactured with a certain lateral extension, that for certain shower partition overall sizes is designed, and another fixed section with a larger one Lateral extension can cover larger dimensions, so that overlap areas are too large between the door section and the fixed section on the one hand and too large On the other hand, door leaves can be avoided.

Such a multi-part arrangement for a shower partition can also be used for one Moved and moved to other shower bases within a certain adjustment area be adapted, to the extent that the fixed section or several, in particular two fixed sections relative to the pivotable door sections can be moved overlapping. So adjustments of 20 cm and more are pro Arrangement of a fixed section and a pivotable door section without further ado makeable. That is, with a corresponding arrangement of the fixed section and pivoting door section can be used in a wide variety of installation situations and therefore also in Corner installation situations Shower trays of 70 x 70 cm with an arrangement just as for the shower can be removed, such as shower bases of 90 x 90 cm, or with other dimensions.

While conventional systems 80 to 90 different fixed sections and hinged door sections require a sufficient number of different To be able to cover installation situations and shower tray sizes requires an arrangement with the features according to the invention only about 10 to 20 different parts, wherein the greatest variety of parts is caused by the different pivoting door sections.

This enables the multi-part arrangement for a shower partition according to the invention with relatively few individual parts and thus with limited inventory and one limited capital expenditure covering a very large number of installation situations and construction variants. This also enables the advantage that the end consumer is very short Access times can be made possible.

To be sufficient even with the multi-part arrangement with features according to the invention It is to be able to provide pivoting movement for the pivotable door sections advantageous if the at least two pivot devices on the fixed section at the upper and lower end area in the installed state for the door opening or in the door opening are staggered. That is, an offset is not only inward or towards the shower base, but also provided in the door opening.

Although it is possible to use the fixed section as a frameless structure Train invention, but it is to the construction of the shower partition as possible to be transparent and generous, advantageous if this consists of a transparent Material is. To stabilize the fixed section and also about the possibility Ensuring alignment with the adjacent parts of the building should advantageously then the fixed section have a frame or partial frame construction on the the two swivel devices are to be set preferably. The swivel devices can be identical with respect to the door section, in particular at least provide the same clamping jaws and a similar arrangement of the pivoting devices are, so that the variability of the fixed to be made available according to the invention Sections also exclusively through appropriate training of the swivel devices can be provided at the fixed section.

Of course, the door sections are also, with or without these door sections themselves Have bezel or a bezel, designed symmetrically such that a Hinge the door frame equally on the left and right or on the swivel devices may be appropriate.

To also the optics of the variable arrangement with features according to the invention favorable to appear, the swivel devices are from the external appearance at least essentially identical, so that regardless of whether a corresponding Swivel device is up or down, the same external appearance Is made available.

Accordingly, it is also advantageous if the fixed section or its frame on upper and lower end region is at least substantially identical.

The arrangement with features according to the invention can of course also be a fixed one Area assigned, for example. A glass section with a fixed frame, the one forms a fixed wall.

This fixed area then basically has the function of a building wall and forms the stop for the door-like section or the pivotable door section of the multi-part Arrangement with features according to the invention.

With an arrangement of a fixed section and a pivotable door section and a further fixed section according to claim 1 in connection with a further door section according to claim 1, which then together a corner shower with two Form door leaves, the advantages achievable according to the invention come into their own.

As already indicated above, the door section (s) can be used as a flat plate, as a curved section or be designed as angled sections.

The pivotable door section of the arrangement according to the invention lies on a connection section, For example, a stop profile or an adjacent pivoting door section a sealing device, preferably a magnetic strip. Only in the case when the door sections may overlap from attaching magnetic strips or others Seals are disregarded.

To stabilize the fixed sections, for example in a corner installation situation A wall mounting device can be provided, which is at an angle from the Shower partition or the fixed sections protrudes and on the fixed Section on the one hand and a building wall on the other hand is defined.

The figures show identical or at least functionally identical components of the invention multi-part arrangement named with the same reference numerals. From the figures as well as the Character description go further features acc. of the invention, advantages of the invention and likewise objectives of the invention.

In Fig. 1 is a first embodiment with features acc. the invention of the multi-part Arrangement marked with the reference numeral 10, the following as a shower partition 10 is referred to.

The shower partition 10 has a generally designated by the reference numeral 12 fixed section to which pivotable door section 14 connects. The door section 14 and the fixed section 12 are usually mutually for sealing reasons overlap.

The fixed section 12 comprises a so-called stick profile 22, which has a facial expression, to compensate for wall slopes using a wall stop profile 22a. To the stick profile 22 connect horizontal cross struts 20b, which together with the floor profile 22 or whose glare profile partially encloses a plate 12a, preferably made of transparent material. The horizontal cross struts 20a, 20b each close into the door opening of the pivotable Door section 14 extended holding sections 18a, 18b, on which pivot devices 16a, 16b are defined.

The swivel devices 16a, 16b and thus their holding sections 18a, 18b are to the Main extension plane of the fixed section 12 offset, preferably to that Shower tray offset inwards so that door section 14 moves inwards to the shower tray can be clamped or attached to the swivel devices 16a, 16b.

The horizontal struts 20a, 20b also have horizontally aligned connecting struts 24a, 24b on which the fixed section 12 on an opposite stop profile 26 support. Between the door section 14 and the stop profile 26 is one Sealing device 32, here preferably a magnetic sealing strip 32 is provided. Because magnetic sealing strips are well known, they no longer need to be discussed here. The Door section 14 has an opening which is provided for attaching an opening handle 30 is.

The stop profile 26 is also mounted on a building section 50 via a profile 22a.

With regard to the pivoting devices 16a, 16b, it should be noted that these are in principle can be executed arbitrarily. The use of a profile with is preferred here two jaws, at least one of the jaws must be movable in order to Installation to be able to determine a door leaf or a pivotable door section.

In addition to the parts recognizable in FIG. 1, a wall bracket 34 can also be seen in FIG. 2, that on the upper holding section 18a or the upper pivoting device 16a via a Screw, a bolt or the like. Is fixed. The section 34b of the wall bracket 34 is intended, depending on the installation position, either with the holding section shown in FIG. 1 above 18a or the lower holding section 18b, depending on whether the in Fig. 1 shown lower holding portion 18b in the installed position by pivoting the fixed section 12 around the horizontal and a pivoting about the vertical on the Place of the upper holding section 18a or the upper pivot device 16a comes or it requires the installation position that the components shown in Fig. 1 above in remain in the upper position.

The terminal connection section 34c provides a variable length connection to the wall termination section 34a, the individual sections via pivotable screw connections or the like. Are connected to one another, so that bumps or errors in can compensate for a certain extent.

The handle 30 can, as can be seen in Fig. 2, be formed in two parts, the two Parts are connected to each other via a screw connection.

3 details of the pivoting device 16a can be seen. The swivel device 16a is attached to the fixed section 12 offset inwards to the shower base. The attachment can be done with a screw, or the profile can be made in one piece are produced, the pivoting device 16a and of course also the pivoting device 16b engage with bolts in a corresponding recess in order to ensure pivotability to ensure the door section 14.

The pivoting device has two jaws 17e, 17d, which lie opposite one another. Here the inner jaw 17d has a clamping section 17c, which in its position has a Screw device, here a grub screw 17b, is variable. If the grub screw 17b Adjusted via the associated opening, the door section 14 can by the clamping section 17c be clamped against the jaw 17e. On the outer circumference of the jaws 17e, 17d Grooves 17f provided. These grooves 17f are on the side of the clamping portion, i.e. the Side, which is aligned to the shower tray, provided with a rubber ring 17g, which as Assembly aid is used. The ring 17g ensures during transport, etc. that the Clamping section 17c cannot fall out of the swivel device. Would the clamping section fall unnoticed from the swivel device and the screw or grub screw on one Glass sheet would be pressed, the glass sheet 14 would be destroyed. The mechanics of Swivel device 16a is closed by a two-part sleeve with halves 17a, 17h.

From Figures 1 to 3 it can be seen that the fixed portion 12 is designed so that he by any rotation around the vertical and swiveling 180 ° around the Horizontal can be adapted to any installation position on a wall. In other words, a single fixed section 12 is able to do this for all installation situations, that can occur in reality to be used.

The profile 24a, 24b can be formed with the maximum length, which is determined by a fixed Section 12 and a door section 14 can be covered in terms of extension and then be adapted to a specific installation situation by cutting to length.

4 is an installation situation with a small shower tray (lower illustration) and one large shower tray 60 (upper illustration) reproduced. It is both the upper and lower installation situation by the same components, whereby only the overlap area 70a in the lower variant is larger than the overlap area 70b, since an adaptation of the identical components to different dimensions is to be carried out.

In Fig. 5, a corner installation situation is shown, while Fig. 4, the installation of an example. shows rectangular shower tray in a masonry. In contrast to the shower partition 10 in Fig. 4 comprises the shower partition 100 acc. Fig. 5 two fixed sections 12 and two pivotable door sections 14. However, the gem. Fig. 5 components used identical to the components used in FIG. 4. It just has an adjustment in that it took place as a fixed section 12, as on the left edge of the Shower tray 60 acc. Fig. 5 (both representations) is provided by 180 ° around the horizontal and has been rotated 90 ° around the vertical, then in an identical manner on one other wall to be used in order to be able to hold a door section 14 pivotably cooperates with an opposite identical door section 14 to over Swing doors the shower partition 100 acc. Fig. 5 to be completed.

The lower display area according to Fig. 5 in turn the use of the shower partition 100 for a small shower tray 60 during the upper part of FIG. 5 reproduces the use of the same shower enclosure 100 with a large shower enclosure 60.

With regard to Figures 4 and 5 it should be noted that here is only an identical fixed Section 12 and an identical pivotable door section 14 are used, to cover various installation situations and dimensions.

6 and 6A are different installation situations on pentagonal shower bases shown. The fixed sections 12 covered here are again in accordance with those. 1 to 5 are identical. The door wings, which adapted to the shape of the pentagonal shower bases 60a are to complete the embodiment of a multi-part arrangement 200 can also be provided with an angle, here an angle of 135 ° between the respective sections 14a ', 14a' 'of a wing 14a is enclosed. Fig. 6 shows in In contrast to FIG. 6A, an installation situation in which only a small overlap area 70b between the fixed area 12 and the door leaf 14a is provided to a long side legs of the pentagonal shower tray to be considered. Accordingly, it follows a large overlap area 70c between the adjoining door leaves 14a, since the oblique section of the pentagonal shower base according to the embodiment. Fig. 6 relative is short.

6A, left display area, the shower tray is a short one Leg facing away from the wall and with a long beveled connecting leg to the opposite short leg facing away from the wall, so that the door leaf 14a also used in FIG. 6 with the respective fixed sections 12 form large-area overlap regions 70a, and only one small-area Overlap area 70d arises between the door leaves.

The right display area acc. 6A shows an insert in a pentagonal shower base with large wall connection legs and a long oblique connecting leg that it requires the dimensions of the angled door sections 14a to be fully extended, so that only small overlap areas 70b, d result. Here too can be seen again that the arrangement according to the invention with few components Coverage of many installation situations and dimensions possible.

7 and 7A show the use of the arrangement according to the invention in a quarter-circle shower base. In Fig. 7 a smaller shower tray is in use, the large overlap areas between the still identical fixed section 12 and the round glass 14b of the pivoting door section. To the shower tray 60b acc. 7A also to be able to cover, the overlap area 70A according to FIG. Fig. 7 reduced, and a small coverage area 70b is set in accordance with the large shower tray 60b. Fig. 7A with the same components. Here too is the fixed section 12 still with the gem. 1 to 6A used identically.
