Abstract

The bath or shower tray has flat base (4) which slopes down to the drain (3). The base, when viewed from the end, is made up of two sections (11, 12) forming an obtuse angle, so that they also slope towards the drain.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dusch- oder Badewanne mit einem oberen umlaufenden Rand, einem mit einer Abflußöffnung versehenen Boden sowie mit Rand und Boden verbindenden Seitenwänden, wobei in einer der Seitenwände bzw. im Eckbereich zwischen zwei Seitenwänden eine Überlauföffnung vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a shower or bath with a upper peripheral edge, one with a drain opening provided floor and connecting with edge and floor Side walls, being in one of the side walls or in the corner area an overflow opening is provided between two side walls.

Bekannte Dusch- oder Badewannen weisen in der Regel Böden auf, die gewölbt ausgebildet sind. Ferner sind die Übergänge zwischen den Seitenwänden und dem Boden in der Regel mit sehr großen Radien versehen. Dies alles führt dazu, daß bei diesen bekannten Dusch- oder Badewannen eine erhöhte Rutschgefahr und infolgedessen eine erhöhte Unfallgefahr besteht.Known shower or bath tubs usually have floors on which are domed. Furthermore, the transitions between the side walls and the floor usually with very large radii. All of this means that with these known shower or bath tubs an increased risk of slipping and as a result, there is an increased risk of accidents.

Aus DE 41 27 973 C2 ist eine rutschsichere Bodenausbildung einer Dusch- oder Badewanne bekannt, bei der die Bodenfläche Mulden aufweist, welche von mindestens drei Wölbungen umgeben sind und umgekehrt. Mit dieser Bodenausbildung soll eine hygienisch einwandfreie rutschsichere Bodenoberfläche erreicht werden. Vielen Leuten jedoch ist diese Bodenausbildung unangenehm, wobei diese meist auch die Verwendung einer Duschoder Badematte ablehnen.DE 41 27 973 C2 describes non-slip flooring a shower or bathtub known in which the floor area Has hollows, which are surrounded by at least three bulges are and vice versa. With this ground training one should hygienically perfect non-slip floor surface achieved become. However, for many people, this is ground training uncomfortable, which usually involves the use of a shower or Reject bath mat.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Duschoder Badewanne zu schaffen, die zum einen rutschsicher ausgebildet ist und die anderseits keine störenden Mulden und/oder Wölbungen an ihrem Boden aufweist, wobei auch die Verwendung einer Dusch- oder Badematte nicht notwendig ist. The invention is therefore based on the object, a shower or To create a bathtub that is non-slip is trained and the other hand no disturbing troughs and / or bulges on its bottom, the Use of a shower or bath mat is not necessary.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Kennzeichnungsmerkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the Characteristic features of claim 1 solved.

Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Appropriate developments of the invention are in the Subclaims marked.

Die erfindungsgemäße Dusch- oder Badewanne zeichnet sich vor allem dadurch aus, daß der Boden derselben eben ausgebildet ist und somit eine gerade Trittfläche vorhanden ist. Auch das Fehlen der üblicherweise großen Radien im Übergangsbereich zwischen den Seitenwänden und dem Boden erhöht die Rutschsicherheit, da die kleinen Radien der erfindungsgemäßen Dusch- oder Badewanne nicht mit den Füßen betreten werden können.The shower or bathtub according to the invention stands out all in that the bottom of the same is flat and therefore there is a straight tread. Even the lack the usually large radii in the transition area between the Sidewalls and the floor increases the slip resistance, because the small radii of the shower or bathtub according to the invention not can be entered with the feet.

Die in den Figuren dargestellte Badewanne 1, wie auch eine nicht dargestellte Duschwanne, weist einen oberen umlaufenden Rand 2 auf und besteht im wesentlichen aus einem mit einer Abflußöffnung 3 versehenen Boden 4 sowie aus Rand 2 und Boden 4 verbindenden, üblicherweise geneigten Seitenwänden 5, 6, 7, 8, wobei die Seitenwand 5 das Kopfende und die Seitenwand 6 das Fußende bilden und in einem der Seitenwände 5, 6, 7, 8 (vorzugsweise Seitenwand 6) bzw. bei der Duschwanne im Eckbereich zwischen zwei Seitenwänden eine Überlauföffnung 9 vorgesehen ist.The bathtub 1 shown in the figures, as well as a shower tray, not shown, has an upper circumferential Edge 2 and consists essentially of one with a Drain opening 3 provided bottom 4 and from edge 2 and bottom 4th connecting, usually inclined side walls 5, 6, 7, 8, the side wall 5 the head end and the side wall 6 the Form the foot end and in one of the side walls 5, 6, 7, 8 (preferably side wall 6) or in the shower tray in Corner area between two side walls an overflow opening 9 is provided.

zwischen den Seitenwänden 5, 6, 7, 8 und dem Boden 4 ist ein im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu dem Boden 4 ringsum verlaufender schmaler Wandabschnitt 10 vorgesehen, der über kleine Radien in den Boden 4 übergeht.between the side walls 5, 6, 7, 8 and the bottom 4 is a substantially perpendicular to the floor 4 all around narrow wall section 10 is provided, which has small radii in the floor 4 passes.

Der zu der Abflußöffnung 2 hin leicht geneigte Boden 4 ist im wesentlichen eben ausgebildet und weist zwei einstückige Bodenteilstücke 11, 12 auf, die in der Längsmitte der Badewanne 1 bzw. in der Diagonalen der Duschwanne einen stumpfen Winkel α bilden.The bottom 4 is slightly inclined towards the drain opening 2 formed essentially flat and has two one-piece Floor sections 11, 12 on the middle of the bathtub 1 or in the diagonal of the shower tray an obtuse angle α form.

Die Neigung des Bodens 4 und der Bodenteilstücke 11, 12 des Bodens 4 zu der Abflußöffnung 2 hin beträgt max. 1%.The inclination of the bottom 4 and the bottom portions 11, 12 of the Bottom 4 to the drain opening 2 is max. 1%.

Durch die besondere Ausbildung der Badewanne 1 (bzw. der Duschwanne) mit dem ringsum verlaufenden schmalen Wandabschnitt 10, dem ebenen Boden 4 und die sehr kleinen Radien im Übergangsbereich zwischen schmalem Wandabschnitt 10 und Boden 4 wird die Rutschsicherheit wesentlich erhöht und somit die Unfallgefahr verringert.Due to the special design of the bathtub 1 (or Shower tray) with the all-round narrow wall section 10, the flat bottom 4 and the very small radii in the Transition area between narrow wall section 10 and floor 4 the slip resistance is significantly increased and thus the Risk of accident reduced.
