Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shower cubicle which is provided with means enabling it to be moved whenever it is necessary or required to carry out maintenance work on it or, additionally and equally, whenever it is necessary to overhaul it or replace one or more parts.
  • the overall weight of a shower cubicle is known to be very substantial and therefore it is impossible to move it in order to gain access to the region where it has its equipment and its hydraulic, electrical and the like control and actuating circuits which are generally provided in its rear wall.
  • the equipment and circuits indicated above are normally arranged outside the shower cubicle in the region of its rear wall which is generally against or close to a wall.
  • One of the main objects of the present invention is to provide a shower cubicle as mentioned above, which enables its conditions of sealing from the outside to be maintained unchanged over time even if checking, inspection, overhauling and similar operations are carried out on it.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a shower cubicle as just indicated which, according to one of its basic features, is produced in such a manner that its entire rear or back wall is unitary, apart of course from the sliding or swing doors for opening and closing it, thus providing an optimum state of sealing of its internal environment.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a shower cubicle which, when it is not being utilised, is movable from the use position in order to be able to gain access to its rear portion for normal and foreseeable operations of maintenance, overhauling or replacement of parts.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a shower cubicle which is of a generally known type as regards its operative equipment for supplying and circulating water and which is characterised in that it has, in the region of its base, stationary support means for its frame which are deactivatable in such a manner that its frame is alternatively supported by means which enable it to slide and to be moved from the place of use.
  • the cubicle according to the invention is generally indicated 10 and its frame is indicated 12.
  • the appended drawings also show that, when the cubicle 10 is in use, it is arranged in a fixed and stationary position close to a wall 14. In that case, its rear wall 16 is in the vicinity of the wall 14 at a predetermined distance therefrom.
  • operative components of the cubicle 10 Arranged on the outside of the wall 16 are some operative components of the cubicle 10, such as, for example, hydromassage nozzles 18, a nozzle for the outflow of a cascade jet 20, nozzles for supplying super-heated steam 22 for a Vietnamese bath and also, in the lower portion of the wall 16, a feed and control pump 24 for the circulation of water and its introduction into the interior of the cubicle 10 by way of the nozzle 20 and the nozzles 18 and 22 supplied by other means.
  • hydromassage nozzles 18 a nozzle for the outflow of a cascade jet 20
  • nozzles for supplying super-heated steam 22 for a Turkish bath
  • a feed and control pump 24 for the circulation of water and its introduction into the interior of the cubicle 10 by way of the nozzle 20 and the nozzles 18 and 22 supplied by other means.
  • the frame 12 of the shower cubicle 10 is supported, in the region of its base, by substantially stationary first support means which can be made operative as an alternative to second support means which are designed to enable the shower cubicle to be moved away from the wall 14 in addition to enabling the first stationary means to be deactivated.
  • the first, stationary, support means are constituted by support feet 26 which are unitary at one of their ends with the base 28 of the shower cubicle 10 and, at the other end, are provided with bearing feet 30 which can, for example, be screwed into the body 27 of the foot 26, thus being capable of being brought to the desired length, which is equal for all the feet 26, for the fixed support of the frame 12 of the cubicle 10.
  • the second means for supporting the shower cubicle 10, in particular its frame 12, are constituted by arms 32 which are secured at one of their ends to the base 28 of the cubicle 10 while, at their other end, they are provided with a sliding roller 34 which is freely rotatable about its rotation pin.
  • suitable means shown only schematically, will be provided which deactivate the feet 26, that is to say, raise them relative to the floor, while, at the same time, causing the rollers 34 to engage with the floor.
  • Those means may be, for example, a threaded shank of the feet 26 which is screwed into a corresponding seat in the body 27 of the foot 26.
  • Figure 2 shows in particular the second operating state, in which the support means of the cubicle 10 enabling it to be moved are activated and the cubicle, which is shown in this Figure in one of the possible positions in which it can be easily moved when the cubicle 10 is not being used and it is necessary to provide for its normal maintenance or for other necessary operations, such as specified above.
  • the shower cubicle according to the present invention therefore permits, by activation ofthe rollers 34, that is to say, by engagement of the rollers 34 on the floor, easy and rapid movement of the cubicle to the extent that access can easily be gained to the outside of its rear wall 16 in order to carry out all the operations deemed necessary to restore the correct functioning of the cubicle 10.
  • the cubicle 10 can be returned to the initial position of Figure 1 by reactivating the stationary feet 26 at this point and by deactivating the rollers 34, that is to say, by disengaging them from the floor.
  • shower cubicle according to the invention may be varied and/or modified without thereby departing from the protective scope of the invention.
