Definitions

• the invention relates to a shower or bathtub partition according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Such a glass shower partition is known from DE-U1 -84 08 028. It consists of a pane enclosed in a frame, which is bordered on three sides in frame strips and by a fourth vertical frame strip.
• the fourth frame bar has a greater profile depth than the three other frame bars and is designed as a plug-in and Ausgeichsang, into which the pane and preferably also the free ends of the horizontal frame bars can be inserted to different degrees while changing the frame width.
• This plug-in and compensation strip is attached to the room wall.
• a clamping seal can be provided at the profile entrance of this strip or a screw screwed into one of the legs of the profile.
• EP-A2-0 841 032 discloses a device for the adjustable holding of plates, in particular glass panes or the like, which has an angle piece which can be fastened to a wall with one leg, the other leg of which has a rotatable eccentric for fastening it Leg is provided with the plate. If such a device is to be used for shower partitions, the angle piece would have to be designed as a vertical angle rail. This is the only way to achieve a seal against splash water.
• a disadvantage of these known glass shower partitions is that the frame strips or the vertical angle rails must be surface-treated in order to be able to withstand the corrosion caused by the shower water. Surface-coated profiles, which may also have to be adapted to the equipment of the shower room or to the taste of the user, are expensive.
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide a shower or bathtub partition of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which on the one hand avoids an individual measurement and custom-made partition and on the other hand a simple and inexpensive compensation of the partition with differently thick covering layers (mortar, Tiles, adhesive, granite, marble, etc.) of the room wall and has a high transparency.
• the invention is implemented in any case when the vertical narrow side of the partition is received in a recess in the room wall.
• This depression can be formed in the form of a vertical groove in a new building or a renovation of the shower or bath room after plastering and before the wall covering is applied or tiled by inserting a rail, in particular an L-rail, in the thickness of the partition wall thickness.
• the groove can also be created by milling a corresponding groove into a finished, plastered and covered wall of the room.
• the unit partition is made to fit the shower tray and then lies in such a recess at different depths depending on the covering thickness (with adhesive or mortar).
• the shower enclosure can already be ordered with the shower tray as a standard version (series production) and that it is immediately available in the final assembly after tiling. It is also important that the application of inserting a plastering strip after plastering and before the wall covering application or tiling can be carried out together with the setting of the shower base. Further expedient and advantageous measures of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
• the partition can simply be pushed into the recess with a press fit. Sealants are no longer absolutely necessary in this case, but if necessary, they can be hidden in the groove.
• the part of the partition enclosed in the depression is arranged in the depression in a form-fitting and / or non-positive manner and the cross section of the depression is rectangular or trapezoidal.
• the partition can be fixed in the recess with an adhesive or similar sealant.
• the layer thickness of the adhesive can be very thin.
• a special sealant, such as rubber lips, is no longer absolutely necessary. If necessary, however, liquid glue or piping seals can be used.
• the depression in a room wall which has a base wall with applied plaster layer and tile layer applied on this plaster layer, can preferably extend to the base wall or be arranged vertically at the same depth as the shower tray or bathtub set first.
• a part of the dividing wall is arranged in the recess, which preferably has an essentially U-shaped cross section.
• This rail increases the stability of the connection of the partition to the room wall and, since it is barely visible, can be made from cheap material.
• This rail is placed before tiling and adjusted so that the front edge is flush with the side of the tile facing the user.
• a simple possibility of cleaning the corner areas between the room wall and the partition wall is achieved if, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the free legs are flush with the room wall. The consequence of this is that there is no need for a visible silicone seal that changes color over time.
• means for adjusting and adjusting the leg length of the rail are provided.
• the rail which has a base leg length that is matched to the least expected covering layer thickness, can simply be attached to the base wall, while the adjustment means can be used to produce flushness with the room wall, that is, parallel to the surface of the tiles.
• the extension body can be designed as a cross-sectionally U-shaped bar, which receives a rail leg between its legs; this extension body is adjustable with respect to the rail leg so that the strip base is flush with the wall of the room.
• Rails and strips are preferably made of metal or plastic and preferably have a wall thickness of 0.5 mm to 3 mm.
• adjustable stop means for the stop and thus for the fixing of the partition or the rail can also be provided in the recess.

• the room wall 1 consists of a base wall 1 1 with plaster or plasterboard, on which a layer 1 2, tile adhesive or tile mortar is applied. A tile layer 13 is in turn applied to this tile adhesive.
• the shower tray 3 usually borders on Base wall 1 1 with a plaster layer so that the adhesive or mortar layer 12 and the tile layer 13 partially cover the upper tub edge.
• the thickness S of these layers can now vary depending on the type of these layers (adhesive / mortar / coverings such as different tile thicknesses, granite, marble, etc.).
