Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a booth shower and more specifically a shower enclosure with glass wall.
- the shower enclosures consist of a tray and a vertical wall positioned around the periphery of said tray to close the space arranged above it so as to stop the splashing of water which inevitably happen when a person takes a shower and thus avoid wetting the room in which the shower is mounted.
- the vertical wall usually extends over a height of about two meters but can also rise up to the ceiling of the bathroom.
- the receiver is a low-rise container with a bottom overall horizontal and a generally vertical peripheral wall. This recipient can be in earthenware or thermoformed plastic.
- shower enclosures There are generally two types of shower enclosures, wall-mounted enclosures made of thin thermoformed plastic and rigid-walled cabins, i.e. cannot be shaped, generally made of glass.
- the receiver In cabins with plastic walls, the receiver is made of plastic and the bottom of the wall is shaped so as to be applied against the face internal of the peripheral wall of the receiver so as to be fixed to said receiver for example by screwing.
- These cabins have the advantage of not requiring the installation of joint between the wall and the receiver since the water from the projections flowing along the wall goes straight to the bottom of the receiver.
- the cabin wall is rigid, made of glass or synthetic glazing, it it is not possible to conform the lower end to adapt it to the shape of the peripheral wall of the recipient.
- Said wall is then positioned on the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the receiver, possibly with the interposition of a profile of aluminum decoration glued to the wall.
- This assembly leaves water flowing along the wall a possibility to infiltrate between the wall and the receiver and to flow outwards from the cabin. It is therefore necessary to position a seal between the bottom of the wall and the receiver or between the profile and the receiver.
- the wall usually consists of several elements extending generally along one side of the receiver and interconnected by profiles corner and by a continuous upper profile. At least one movable element is provided constituting a door allowing access to the interior of the cabin.
- the seal is a silicone seal positioned on the edge of the receiver and crushed when installing the wall.
- This seal is well known and widespread but is not very appreciated by both installers and housewives. It is not easy to set up work because it takes time and patience to build a very regular bead around the catcher, shape it and remove the burrs, and is more difficult cleanable when dirty.
- the object of the present invention is then to propose a shower cabin with rigid wall which does not require the installation of such a seal.
- the invention relates to a shower cabin comprising a receiver and a rigid wall, said receiver having a peripheral wall generally vertical with an upper horizontal sidewalk and a directed internal face towards the inside of the receiver and the rigid wall consisting of a rigid panel disposed in a U-shaped groove of a profile positioned on the peripheral wall of said receiver, characterized in that said profile consists of an upper part comprising a flat bottom wall intended to be positioned on the sidewalk of the peripheral wall of the receiver and a lateral part comprising an external wall constituting with the flat wall of the upper part a concave right angle, intended to be positioned vis-à-vis the internal face of said peripheral wall of the receiver.
- the invention also relates to the profile intended to be used in a shower cabin according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 is partial views of shower cubicles according to the invention on which only a portion of the edge of the receiver 1 and the bottom of a rigid wall 2.
- the receiver 1 and the rigid panel 20 constituting the wall 2 have been hatched.
- the receivers 1 shown in the drawing are receivers for material thermoformed plastic but we will not go outside the invention using another type catcher.
- the receiver 1 has a bottom 12 overall horizontal, but with a slope towards the drain not shown in the drawing, and a generally vertical peripheral wall 10, with a slight workmanship.
- the peripheral wall 10 has an upper horizontal sidewalk 11 and a internal face 14 directed towards the interior of the receiver.
- the bottom comprises a peripheral step 13 constituting a horizontal wall.
- interior and exterior are used to designate respectively the elements turned towards the interior of the cabin and towards outside of it.
- the rigid panel 20 is arranged in a U-shaped groove 26 of a profile 21, by aluminum example, positioned on the peripheral wall 10 of said receiver 1.
- the profile 21 is such that it is unnecessary to position a seal.
- the section 21 has a part upper 22 whose exterior is rounded for aesthetic reasons and part lateral 24.
- the upper part 22 has a flat bottom wall 23 while the lateral part 24 has an external wall 25 constituting with the flat wall 23 of the upper part 22 a concave right angle.
- Said profile 21 is put in place by positioning the lower flat wall 23 of the upper part 22 on the sidewalk 11 of the peripheral wall 10 and the external wall 25 of the lateral part 24 facing the internal face 14 of said peripheral wall 10.
- the water flowing along the rigid panel 20 continues to descend along the internal face of the lateral part 24 to reach the bottom 12 of the receiver 1 and cannot infiltrate towards the outside of the cabin constituted according to the invention. It is then totally unnecessary to clutter with a silicone seal.
- the lateral part 24 of the profile 21 carries a raceway 27 directed towards the interior of the receiver and intended for guiding the rollers of a sliding door not shown in Figure 1.
- the lateral part 24 of the profile 21 can, as shown in drawing, be of length perfectly adapted to the height of the receiver and be supported against step 13 of it.
- the cabin is held in place on the receiver by its own weight, its completeness is ensured by the profiles arranged at the corners of the receiver and by the profile peripheral disposed at the top of the rigid panels 20, the lateral part 24 of the profile 21 which extends along the internal face of the peripheral wall 10 of the receiver 1 allows avoid tipping.
- the profile 121 is in two parts 120 and 130.
- the first part 120 is similar to the profile 21 of Figure 1 but unlike this one, it does not have a groove 26 for positioning the rigid panel 20.
- This part 120 then comprises an upper part 22 with a flat wall lower 23 and a side portion 24 with a wall 25 constituting a concave right angle with the flat wall 23.
- the second part 130 comprises an upper part 131 in U constituting the groove 26 for the establishment of the rigid panel 20 and a wing 132 extending towards the exterior from the bottom wall of the groove 26, parallel to the walls of said groove groove 26, and adapted to be pressed and fixed, for example by screwing, against the face internal part 24 of the part 120.
- the wing 132 can be shaped so as to rest on the upper part of the path bearing 27 when it is provided.
- This realization of the two-piece profile 120, 130 facilitates packaging and transport of the rigid panels constituting the elements of the cabin wall.
- the cabin has a wall element cylindrical with two fixed parts at the ends and one or two sliding doors at the center.
- Figure 3 shows a third embodiment in which the groove 226 for the establishment of the rigid panel 20 is positioned above the wall plane 223 of the upper part 222 of the profile 221. Such an arrangement allows to enlarge the internal space of the cabin by spreading the rigid wall.
- Profile 221 also comprises a lateral part 224 comprising an external wall 225 intended to be positioned opposite the internal face 14 of the peripheral wall 10 of the recipient.
- the invention is not limited to the three embodiments shown in title of example not limiting to the drawing but includes any variant comprising a profile having a flat wall 23, 223 adapted to be positioned on the sidewalk of the peripheral wall and an external wall 25, 225 adapted to be positioned in front of the internal face of said peripheral wall so as not to require the installation of a seal.
- the cabin according to the invention is very simple to set up because the the shape of the profile alone makes it possible to seal the cabin. She presents the appreciable advantage of not requiring the installation of a silicone seal and to overcome all the disadvantages presented by these joints.
