Definitions

• the invention relates to a shower partition consisting of at least one plate-shaped element which is provided with a seal on at least one end edge.
• shower partitions of the type mentioned above are well known. They usually consist of several plate-shaped elements that, when put together, result in a shower cubicle. Seals are provided on the end edges of the plate-shaped elements, which form the transition to an adjacent element.
• the elements consist for example of glass or plastic and can be transparent or colored in any way. In any case, the individual elements form a large spatial element that does not always blend in harmoniously with the surroundings.
• DE 39 07 607 C2 describes a shower partition which additionally has a multipurpose module mounted on the frame, which among other things illuminates the shower from the inside and from the outside.
• the light enters the plate-shaped element via the end edge of the plate-shaped element. This not only creates an imaginative effect, which can be enhanced if the elements are provided with patterns, such as stripes, bubbles or the like, but increases the optical effect if the light not only through the seals, but also through the Surface of the plate-shaped elements can emerge.
• the light can be introduced into the plate-shaped elements particularly easily if the illuminant is arranged in front of the end edge of the plate-shaped elements. The light can thus be introduced directly into the plane of the plate-shaped element.
• the seal has a cavity in which the lamp, which is preferably designed as an LED, is arranged.
• the lamp which is preferably designed as an LED
• another illuminant preferably one that has low energy consumption.
• the protection of the lamps from external influences can be further improved if, in an advantageous further development, the cavity is at least partially filled with a casting compound. This safely and reliably prevents the ingress of moisture and thus damage to the lamps or even endangering the user.
• the illuminant extends at least over a partial length of the plate-shaped element, preferably, however, over the entire vertical length of the plate-shaped element.
• the illuminants are preferably only provided on the vertical end edges of the plate-shaped elements.
• the plate-shaped elements are preferably provided on its underside with a lower seal, in which the cables of the power supply for the LED's are housed.
• the cables can be accommodated in the lower seal in two ways.
• the cables are cast into the lower seal.
• a cable space for receiving the cables is provided in the lower seal. In both cases, not only is an almost invisible power supply achieved, but the power supply is also securely accommodated against external influences.
• the seal is designed to receive two plate-shaped elements, for. B. to form a 90 ° corner, according to a preferred embodiment, the seal has two rows of LEDs that emit their light in different directions.

• FIG. 1 shows a shower partition, which is arranged on a shower tray 1.
• the shower partition consists of several plate-shaped elements 3, 4, which - as shown - are partly flat, partly curved or can also only be curved or only flat.
• the plate-shaped elements 3, 4 have at least one fixed side part 3 fastened to a wall 2 and at least one displaceable wing 4. Instead of a displaceable wing, a pivotable wing can also be provided.
• FIG. 2 shows a side view of a fixed side part 3 and a sliding wing 4.
• a lower seal 5 is provided on the underside, which can be attached both to the fixed side part 3 and to the displaceable wing 4.
• the seal 5 is provided with a floor sealing lip 9, which is supported on the floor 10 of the shower base 1 and provides a seal.
• This lower seal 5 is shown in Figures 3 and 3a in two versions.
• the lower seal 5 has two lateral lips 8 which rest on the side surfaces of the elements 3, 4 in such a way that a cable space 6 is created between the lips 8 and below the element 3, 4 within the lower seal 5 , can be guided in the cable 7.
• the cable space 6 can additionally be filled with a casting compound.
• FIG. 3a shows a second embodiment of the lower seal 5, in which the cables 7 are enclosed directly in the sealing material.
• the seal 5 with the cable 7 can, for. B. by gluing or in another suitable manner to the element 3, 4.
• FIGS. 4 to 7 show different design variants of the shower partition according to the invention.
• the element 3, 4 can be both a fixed side part 3 and a pivotable or displaceable wing 4, which is movable in the directions of movement 19, 20 and 21, 22, respectively.
• a seal 15, 23, 25 is provided on the end edge 11.
• This seal 15, 23, 25 bears with lateral lips 8 on the element 3, 4 in such a way that a cavity is formed in front of the end edge of the element 3, 4 is.
• a light source is arranged in this cavity, which is preferably LED 's 12 or another light source that consumes little energy.
• the LEDs 12 are arranged in such a way that their light is directed onto the end edge 11 of the element 3, 4 and can enter the element 3, 4 via this end edge 11 and is then emitted via the side surfaces.
• the light of the LED may be '12 s depending on the design of the seal 15, 23, 25 also more or less leak through the seal 15, 23, 25th
• the LEDs 12 are arranged in a box-shaped free space 18 within the seal 15, 23, 25.
