Definitions

• the invention relates to a profile element for a shower partition door according to claims 1, 4 and 11 and to shower partitions according to claims 14, 19 and 23
• shower partitions usually have a profile frame that surrounds the shower room, which can be attached to a wall of the room with adjustable profile elements, for example, and sits firmly on the edge of a shower tray or bathtub with a floor profile.
• the doors are designed as sliding or swinging doors and have glass or plastic panes that can be framed by frame professionals. Sealing agents between the door profiles and the frame professionals prevent water from escaping from the interior of the shower or tub
• a glass pane with a side profile attachment is hinged to a wall profile and sits on its closing edge a sealing profile with a magnetic strip, while the lower edge is only provided with a narrow splash protection profile
• a shower partition known from DE 295 04 715 U1 has a profile frame with a lower floor profile that sits horizontally on the edge of a shower tray and side frame profiles, between which a swing door is pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation offset towards the center of the tower Joint profiles that form-fit into the frame profiles when the door is closed, so that only a uniform profile appears in each case.
• the pivot bearings are also moved out of the direct field of vision.A lower pivot bearing is concealed below the floor profile, while an upper pivot bearing only has one short mounting head is attached to the upper edge of the door.
• the floating doors have also been arranged so that they can be moved in the vertical direction articulated which can be brought from an upper to a lower lowered position, whereby interlocking sealing profiles effectively prevent splash water from escaping.
• the door can be lifted by means of a lifting device that is operatively connected to the sliding profile rail via a cable or a lever arm. which can then be freely pivoted over the sealing profiles.
• a gas pressure spring takes up most of the weight of the door to assemble and assemble
• the guide profile and the profile rail are relatively wide, which considerably disturbs the overall appearance of the frame or the shower partition
• the aim of the invention is to reduce the profile elements to a minimum in a shower partition and to ensure permanent, reliable storage and sealing. to ensure the door elements are adjusted so that the shower partition can be adapted to different spatial conditions and installation conditions.
• shower partitions formed with the profile elements should be simple and inexpensive to manufacture. They should also be quick and easy to install and use
• the invention provides according to claim 1 that the profile element extends and extends between the pivot bearings at least over a partial height range of the pivot structure apart from the profile arranged between the door leaf parts, the pivot structure therefore does not require any other frame or edge profiles that have to be articulated in or on side wall parts.
• the door profile remaining between the pivot bearings is reduced to a minimum, while the free door surface provides a lot of light Let it pass inside the shower Since the swivel bearings are in alignment below and above the profile element, no other components or other obstructions are visible
• a further aspect of the invention is evident from the independent claim 4.
• a profile element for a shower partition structure of the aforementioned type a second longitudinal groove is provided according to the invention compared to a longitudinal groove in the profile element, in which a further flat element that continues in the same shape or shape can be used
• the swing door mounted in the profile element can thus be expanded in a surprisingly simple way, for example by a side part in its area, without additional or additional profile elements or frame parts being required.
• the entire shower partition can be individually adapted to the given room dimensions. If required, both door leaves can be adjusted - although only one , there is a relatively narrow profile within the entire door - an extremely large adjustment range enables the door leaves, in particular the door leaf edges, to be adapted to the course of the room walls. If these, for example, run slightly obliquely or crooked, which is not uncommon, the wall can - The door leaf on the side must be positioned accordingly, while the partial leaf that releases the main entrance into the shower cubicle can be adjusted independently of this
• front and / or back flat elements can be introduced into or attached to a profile body of the profile element, especially by means of non-positive and / or positive connections.
• the profile element according to the invention is preferably used in shower partitions for a shower tray, shower tray or bathtub. At least one such profile element is seated on a lower pivot bearing according to independent claim 14, so that the entire weight of the structure rests vertically and therefore essentially without shear or transverse forces in the bottom of the tub and through it into the floor. This ensures permanent, reliable and precise storage. Since the leaves of the structure are adjustable relative to each other and can be individually adapted to the space available, there is always an optimal seal against Splash water guaranteed
• the shower partition formed with only a single profile element per door is very simple in construction and can also be handled easily by untrained personnel during assembly.
• the invention further provides according to independent claim 23 that the lower pivot bearing carries a spring arrangement on which the door weight rests and which can be preloaded by hand, especially by means of a handwheel for adjusting an eccentric, with which one hanging cable pulls or relieves a compression spring that sits between two sleeves that can be rotated relative to each other.
• the lower pivot bearing carries a spring arrangement on which the door weight rests and which can be preloaded by hand, especially by means of a handwheel for adjusting an eccentric, with which one hanging cable pulls or relieves a compression spring that sits between two sleeves that can be rotated relative to each other.
