Definitions

  • This invention relates to a shower cabinet according to the precharacterising clause of claim 1.
  • the solution often adopted in these circumstances, particularly by more elderly persons, is that of heating the room in which the shower cabinet is installed, for example by switching on electrical warmers or air heaters.
  • the problem underlying this invention is that of devising a shower cabinet which has structural and functional characteristics such as to satisfy the abovementioned requirement while at the same time overcoming the disadvantages mentioned with reference to the known art.
  • 1 indicates as a whole the shower cabinet according to the invention in accordance with one possible embodiment.
  • shower cabinet 1 illustrated in the drawings is of the comer type, that is suitable for installation in the comer of a bathroom.
  • Shower cabinet 1 is installed on a shower pan 2 fitted with a drain 3 and comprises a space 4 defined by side walls which extend vertically.
  • the side walls comprise two masonry walls 5, more specifically 5a and 5b, and a plurality of side panels 6.
  • Side panels 6 comprise two side panels 6a which are connected together by an intermediate panel 6b which in the example considered is curved in such a way as to match the front edge of shower pan 2 through its corresponding curved profile.
  • side panels 6 extend vertically from an upper edge of shower pan 3 and are supported by a loadbearing frame 7 which comprises two uprights 7a fixed to masonry walls 5 and a lower connecting cross-member 7b which extends between the two uprights 7a.
  • Frame 7 may also comprise an upper cross-member which confers greater rigidity upon the loadbearing frame structure itself.
  • the two side panels 6a are supported by frame 7 in such a way as to be fixed.
  • Intermediate panel 6b is hinged along one vertical side to one of fixed side panels 6a so as to form a door through which it is possible to gain access to the interior of shower cabinet 1, or space 4.
  • Side panels 7 may be constructed of glass, sheets of plastics material and the like, in such a way as to be more or less transparent according to need and the aesthetic finish required.
  • the side panels may differ in number and shape according to need and the aesthetic appearance which the shower cabinet should have.
  • the side panels may differ in number and shape according to need and the aesthetic appearance which the shower cabinet should have.
  • this panel it is obvious that it will be possible to have only one side panel located on the front side of the shower, this panel also performing the function of an access door to the shower cabinet.
  • the shower cabinet may be wholly constructed with side panels of glass, plastics material and the like, such as for example in the case of a shower cabinet which is not intended to be backed by masonry walls.
  • shower cabinet 1 comprises a dividing partition 8 inserted within space 4 to define, together with a portion 9 of the side walls of the shower cabinet itself, a protected area 4a which is protected from any spray.
  • area 4a which is protected from spray is bounded by dividing partition 8 and the two comer portions, 5a and 5b respectively, of masonry walls 5 which constitute aforesaid portion 9.
  • dividing partition 8 is supported within space 4 in such a way that it can be moved from an operating position ( Figures 1 and 2), in which it forms protected area 4a together with the aforesaid portion 9 of side walls 5a and 5b, and a protected position ( Figure 3) in which access to the protected area is possible.
  • shower cabinet 1 comprises guide and support means 10 which are capable of supporting dividing partition 8 and allowing it to move between the operating position and the retracted position, and vice versa.
  • guide and support means 10 comprise a track 11, located at the top of shower cabinet 1, and a plurality of slides 13, numbering two in the example, which are slideably associated with track 11 and are connected to dividing partition 8 in order to support it.
  • Preferable track 11 is supported by two opposite side walls of shower cabinet 1, in the example masonry wall 5b and a side panel 6a. It is possible to provide other forms or means for fixing the track while not changing the latter's feature of being supported conveniently so that it can in turn slideably support dividing partition 8.
  • track 11 takes the form of a cylindrical rod on which two slideable handles acting as slides 12 are mounted.
  • track 11 extends parallel to masonry side wall 5a of shower cabinet 1 at a predetermined distance bounded by the same, for example 20 - 25 cm.
  • Dividing partition 8 therefore faces masonry side wall 5a and is at a distance from it.
  • the width L of dividing partition 8 is less than the width of masonry side wall 5a so that dividing partition 8 can be slideably moved along track 11 between the operating position ( Figure 1) in which it prevents access to area 4a which is protected from the spray and the retracted position ( Figure 2) in which access can be gained to that area.
  • track 11 and masonry wall 5a which constitutes the part of the side walls of shower cabinet 1 have a dimension of 80 cm, while the dividing partition has a width of 40 cm.
  • the portion of the side walls of shower cabinet 1 which bounds protected area 4a is equipped with clothes hanging means 14 capable of supporting towels, bathrobes and clothing.
  • clothes hanging means 14 capable of supporting towels, bathrobes and clothing.
  • masonry wall 5a comprises two clothes hangers 14 positioned in such a way as to be protected from the delivery of water by dividing partition 8 with respect to shower head 13 when the dividing partition is in the operating position ( Figures 1 and 2).
  • Clothes hangers 14 make it possible to hang a bathrobe, a towel and/or clothing within space 4, more specifically within the protected area 4a thereof, while the user is washing without these becoming wet from the water spray issuing from shower head 13 delivering water.
  • masonry wall portion 5 which does not bound protected area 4a can be equipped with brackets, shelves and the like to support soap, bottles and sponges.
  • Dividing partition 8 may also be constructed in a different manner from that described above.
  • dividing partition 8 may comprise a plurality of panels, two in number in the example and indicated by 8a and 8b respectively. Panels 8a and 8b are associated with one another in such a way as to form a hinged concertina wall which can move between an extended position (represented by the continuous line in Figure 4) and a folded position (represented by the dashed line in Figure 4) in which dividing partition 8 is in operating position and an unfolded position respectively.
  • the dividing partition may comprise a plurality of flat parallel panels associated together in such a way that they can move with respect to each other in a corresponding straight seat in the track.
  • Movement of the dividing partition may also be a rotatory and translational movement or a rotation instead of the translational movement considered above.
  • shower cabinet 1 When shower cabinet 1 is in use, the user may gain access to space 4 through door 6b.
  • the user may gain access to shower cabinet 1 whilst still closed, for example while wearing a bathrobe, and equipped with a towel.
  • the shower cabinet according to this invention makes it possible to satisfy the abovementioned requirement and at the same time overcome the disadvantages mentioned in the introductory part of this description.
  • Another advantage of the shower cabinet according to this invention lies in the possibility that the shape and dimensions of the dividing partition, and those of the guide support means can be adapted to the special functional and/or aesthetic needs of an individual shower cabinet.
