Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Duschabtrennung mit mindestens einer vorzugsweise aus Glas bestehenden Tür, die mittels zweier Beschläge an einem feststehenden, mittels zweier Haltewinkel an der Wand befestigten Wandstreifen, wiederum vorzugsweise aus Glas, um einen vorgegebenen Winkel verschwenkbar gelagert ist, wobei an jedem Haltewinkel eine Tragschiene waagerecht einstellbar befestigt ist, die einen die Schwenkachse der Tür bildenden Achsbolzen trägt, der in eine Lagerbohrung in einem Türbeschlag eingreift, der auf die Außenseite der Tür aufgeklebt ist.The invention relates to a shower enclosure with at least one door preferably made of glass, which is mounted by means of two fittings on a fixed, fixed by two brackets on the wall wall strip, again preferably made of glass, pivotable about a predetermined angle, wherein at each bracket a support rail is mounted horizontally adjustable, which carries a pivot axis of the door-forming axle, which engages in a bearing bore in a door fitting, which is glued to the outside of the door.

Eine gattungsgemäße Duschabtrennung ist aus der EP 1 319 359 A bekannt.A generic shower enclosure is from the EP 1 319 359 A known.

Aus der DE 89 14 784 U1 ist ein Scharnier für Autotüren bekannt. Aus der US 2002/066161 A1 ist ein Scharnier für Glastüren bekannt. Beide Dokumente zeigen federbelastet aufgehängte Türen, wobei sich die Federelemente jeweils einerseits gegenüber der Tür und andererseits gegenüber dem Scharnier abstützen. Die auftretenden Federkräfte werden somit unmittelbar in das Scharnier eingeleitet.From the DE 89 14 784 U1 is a hinge for car doors known. From the US 2002/066161 A1 is a hinge known for glass doors. Both documents show spring-loaded suspended doors, wherein the spring elements are supported on the one hand relative to the door and on the other hand with respect to the hinge. The spring forces that occur are thus introduced directly into the hinge.

Wenngleich sich gattungsgemäße Duschabtrennungen und bekannte Türaufhängungen im Allgemeinen im alltäglichen Praxiseinsatz bewährt haben, besteht dennoch Verbesserungsbedarf. So hat sich gezeigt, dass die Aufhängungen für Duschabtrennungen nach längerem Gebrauch vielfach ausfallen und erneuert werden müssen.Although generic shower enclosures and known door suspensions have generally proven in everyday practice, there is still room for improvement. So it has been shown that the suspensions for shower enclosures after prolonged use often fail and need to be renewed.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Duschabtrennung derart weiterzubilden, dass die Aufhängung der vorzugsweise aus Glas bestehenden Tür hinsichtlich der Handhabung und der Störanfälligkeit verbessert wird.The invention is therefore the object of developing a generic shower enclosure such that the suspension of the existing preferably made of glass door in terms of handling and susceptibility is improved.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Kopf des Achsbolzens als Halbkugel und das Ende der Lagerbohrung halbkugelförmig ausgebildet sind, wobei der Achsbolzen mit abgeflachten Flächen versehen ist, mit denen ein durch eine Feder belastetes Druckstück zusammenwirkt, wobei die auf das Druckstück einwirkende Feder sich an ihrem anderen Ende an einem Bügel abstützt, der mit einem auf die gegenüberliegende Seite des Achsbolzens einwirkenden Ausgleichstück versehen ist.The solution of this problem by the invention is characterized in that the head of the axle pin as a hemisphere and the end of the bearing bore are formed hemispherical, wherein the axle bolt is provided with flattened surfaces with which cooperates a spring loaded by a pressure piece, wherein on the Pressure element acting spring is supported at its other end to a bracket, which is provided with a force acting on the opposite side of the axle pin compensation piece.

Die die Tür lagernde Tragschiene ist in waagerechter Richtung, das heißt zur Wand und damit zur feststehenden Wandscheibe einstellbar und trägt den feststehenden Achsbolzen, auf dem die Tür mittels ihres Türbeschlages verschwenkbar gelagert ist, wobei der Türbeschlag auf die Außenseite der Tür aufgeklebt ist, so daß die Türinnenseite ohne Behinderung durch aufgesetzte Teile auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann. Außerdem entfallen aufwendige und teure Vorbereitungen sowohl des Wandstreifens als auch der Tür durch Einbringen von Aussparungen oder Löchern.The door bearing support rail is in the horizontal direction, that is adjustable to the wall and thus the fixed wall plate and carries the fixed axle, on which the door is pivotally mounted by means of their door fitting, wherein the door fitting is glued to the outside of the door, so that The inside of the door without obstruction can be easily cleaned by attaching parts. In addition, expensive and expensive preparations of both the wall strip and the door eliminated by introducing recesses or holes.

Gemäß einem Merkmal der Erfindung ist der Kopf des Achsbolzens als Halbkugel und das Ende der Lagerbohrung halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Hierdurch ist ein Ausgleich einer Verwinklung zwischen Tür und Schwenkachse um wenige Winkelgrade möglich.According to a feature of the invention, the head of the axle pin is designed as a hemisphere and the end of the bearing bore hemispherical. As a result, a compensation of a Verwinklung between the door and pivot axis by a few degrees is possible.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Achsbolzen mit abgeflachten Flächen versehen, mit denen ein durch eine Feder belastetes Druckstück zusammenwirkt. Durch diese Gestaltung des feststehenden Achsbolzens mit einer Dreikant- oder Vierkantfläche wird eine selbsttätige Überführung der Tür sowohl in die Schließstellung als auch in eine der Mehrkantausführung entsprechende Öffnungsstellung erreicht, da die Federkraft in den Zwischenstellungen ein Drehmoment auf die Tür ausübt und die Tür entweder in die Schließstellung oder in ihre vorgegebene Öffnungsstellung verschwenkt. Wegen des großen Hebels des Türhandgriffes zur Schwenkachse kann diese Federkraft beim bewußten Öffnen und Schließen der Tür leicht überwunden werden.According to the axle pin is provided with flattened surfaces with which cooperates a loaded by a spring pressure piece. Through this design of the fixed axle bolt with a triangular or square surface an automatic transfer of the door is achieved both in the closed position and in the polygonal version corresponding opening position, since the spring force in the intermediate positions a torque on the door and the door either in the Closed position or pivoted in its predetermined opening position. Because of the large lever of the door handle to the pivot axis, this spring force can be easily overcome when deliberately opening and closing the door.

Erfindungsgemäß stützt sich die auf das Druckstück einwirkende Feder an ihrem anderen Ende an einem Bügel ab, der mit einem auf die gegenüberliegende Seite des Achsbolzens einwirkenden Ausgleichstück verbunden ist. Hierdurch wird eine einseitige Belastung des Achsbolzens durch die Federkraft verhindert. Die Federkraft wird erfindungsgemäß hälftig auf das Druckstück und das Ausgleichstück und damit auf beide gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Achsbolzens übertragen. Die Erfindung schafft somit ein vom Türbeschlag unabhängiges, in sich geschlossenes Federsystem, das die an- und abschwellenden Lasten, die sich bei einer Drehung des Türbeschlages um den feststehenden, beispielsweise als Vierkant ausgebildeten Achsbolzen ergeben, von der Verklebung des Türbeschlages mit der Tür fernhält. Auf diese Weise wird die Klebefläche nicht mit zusätzlichen Spannungen belastet.According to the invention, the spring acting on the pressure piece is supported at its other end on a bracket, which is connected to a compensating piece acting on the opposite side of the axle pin. As a result, a one-sided load of the axle bolt is prevented by the spring force. The spring force is transmitted according to the invention in half on the pressure piece and the balance piece and thus on both opposite sides of the axle. The invention thus provides an independent of the door fitting, self-contained spring system, which the rising and falling loads that are formed upon rotation of the door fitting to the fixed, for example, as a square Achsbolzen yield, keeps away from the bonding of the door fitting with the door. In this way, the adhesive surface is not burdened with additional stresses.

Um die Federkraft zur Rückführung der Tür in die offene bzw. geschlossene Stellung einstellen zu können, ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung zwischen Bügel und Ausgleichstück eine Stellschraube angeordnet. Somit kann auf einfache Weise eine Einstellung des Drehmomentes erfolgen, welches die Tür in ihre Endstellungen überführt.In order to adjust the spring force for returning the door in the open or closed position, a screw is arranged according to a further feature of the invention between the bracket and balance piece. Thus, an adjustment of the torque can be done in a simple manner, which transfers the door in its end positions.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist die Tragschiene mittels einer Führung am Haltewinkel in waagerechter Richtung geführt und entlang dieser Führungen durch eine Einstellschraube verstellbar, deren Kopf zwischen zwei gabelförmigen Lagerlaschen des Haltewinkels gelagert ist und deren Gewindeschaft in eine Gewindebohrung der Tragschiene eingreift. Mit diesen Merkmalen wird eine zuverlässige und einfache Einstellmöglichkeit geschaffen, die dadurch ergänzt wird, daß die Tragschiene durch zwei in einem Langloch geführte Befestigungsschrauben am Haltewinkel befestigbar ist. Mit der Erfindung wird schließlich vorgeschlagen, daß der Haltewinkel mit einer Aufnahmenut für eine den oberen bzw. unteren Rand des Wandstreifens aufnehmende Halteleiste versehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird der Wandstreifen sicher und zuverlässig am Haltewinkel festgelegt. Erfindungsgemäß greift diese Halteleiste mittels Führungsbolzen in Aussparungen des Haltewinkels ein.According to a further feature of the invention, the support rail is guided by means of a guide on the bracket in the horizontal direction and adjustable along these guides by an adjusting screw whose head is mounted between two forked bearing brackets of the bracket and their threaded shank engages in a threaded bore of the support rail. With these features, a reliable and easy adjustment is created, which is supplemented by the fact that the support rail can be fastened by two guided in a slot fastening screws on the bracket. With the invention is finally proposed that the bracket is provided with a receiving groove for the upper or lower edge of the wall strip receiving retaining strip. In this way, the wall strip is securely and reliably fixed to the bracket. According to the invention, this retaining strip engages by means of guide pins in recesses of the bracket.

Wie aus den Darstellungen in Fig. 1 und 2 hervorgeht, wird ein vorzugsweise aus Glas bestehender Wandstreifen S mittels eines Haltewinkels 1 an der Wand W befestigt. Dieser Haltewinkel 1 ist perspektivisch in den Fign. 3 bis 5, einmal von innen zum anderen von außen, dargestellt. In der Darstellung fehlt eine Abdeckung des Haltewinkels 1.As from the illustrations in Fig. 1 and 2 shows, a preferably made of glass wall strip S is secured by means of a bracket 1 on the wall W. This bracket 1 is in perspective in the FIGS. 3 to 5 , once from the inside to the other from the outside, shown. In the illustration, a cover of the bracket 1 is missing.

An der Außenseite dieses Haltewinkels 1 ist eine Tragschiene 2 einstellbar befestigt, die in den Fign. 4 und 5 in zwei unterschiedlichen Stellungen dargestellt ist. Auch in diesen Darstellungen ist der besseren Übersichtlichkeit wegen eine Außenabdeckung des Haltewinkels 1 weggelassen, die in Fig. 1 angedeutet und mit der Bezugsziffer 1a versehen ist.On the outside of this bracket 1, a support rail 2 is adjustably mounted, in the FIGS. 4 and 5 is shown in two different positions. Also in these illustrations, the sake of clarity, an outer cover of the bracket 1 is omitted, the in Fig. 1 is indicated and provided with the reference numeral 1a.

Auf der Tragschiene 2 ist ein feststehender Achsbolzen 3 angeordnet, der zusammen mit einem weiteren Tragbolzen im Bereich der Oberkante des Wandstreifens S die Schwenkachse für eine Tür T der Duschabtrennung bildet, von der ein in der Nähe der Schwenkachse liegender Teil in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist.On the mounting rail 2, a fixed axle 3 is arranged, which forms together with another support bolt in the region of the upper edge of the wall strip S, the pivot axis for a door T of the shower enclosure, of which lying in the vicinity of the pivot axis part in Fig. 1 is shown.

Diese Tür T ist mit einem Türbeschlag 4 versehen, der auf die Außenseite der Tür T aufgeklebt ist. Weder der Wandstreifen S noch die Tür T, die üblicherweise aus Glas bestehen, sind deshalb mit Aussparungen oder Löchern versehen, deren Einbringung in diese Glasbauteile aufwendig und teuer wäre.This door T is provided with a door fitting 4, which is glued to the outside of the door T. Neither the wall strip S nor the door T, usually made of Glass exist, are therefore provided with recesses or holes whose introduction into these glass components would be costly and expensive.

Wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, überdeckt der feststehende Wandstreifen S einen schmalen Streifen der geschlossenen Tür T, die somit auf der Innenseite i der Duschabtrennung liegt und eine gute Abdichtung gegenüber der Außenseite a bewirkt. Zur Verbesserung der Abdichtung kann die Tür T mit einer Dichtung D versehen sein.How out Fig. 1 shows, the fixed wall strip S covers a narrow strip of the closed door T, which thus lies on the inside i of the shower enclosure and a good seal against the outside a causes. To improve the seal, the door T may be provided with a seal D.

Der in Fig. 3 perspektivisch in der Art eines Sprengbildes dargestellte Haltewinkel 1 besitzt zwei Langlöcher 1b für Wandbefestigungsschrauben. An seiner senkrecht von der Wand W abstehenden Oberfläche ist der Haltewinkel 1 mit einer Aufnahmenut 1c für eine Halteleiste 1d versehen, welche die angefaste Unterkante des Wandstreifens S aufnimmt. Mittels an der Halteleiste 1d ausgebildeten Führungsbolzen 1e greift die Halteleiste 1d in Aussparungen 1f ein, die im Grunde der Aufnahmenut 1c ausgebildet sind. Auf diese Weise wird der Wandstreifen S zuverlässig am Haltewinkel 1 befestigt.The in Fig. 3 Perspective illustrated in the manner of an exploded view bracket 1 has two slots 1b for wall mounting screws. At its perpendicular projecting from the wall W surface of the bracket 1 is provided with a receiving groove 1c for a retaining strip 1d, which receives the chamfered lower edge of the wall strip S. By means of the retaining strip 1d formed guide pin 1e engages the retaining strip 1d in recesses 1f, which are formed in the base of the receiving groove 1c. In this way, the wall strip S is reliably attached to the bracket 1.

An der in den Fign. 4 und 5 erkennbaren Außenseite des Haltewinkels 1 ist eine Führung 1g für die waagerechte Einstellung der Tragschiene 2 ausgebildet, die durch zwei, ein Langloch 2b durchgreifende Befestigungsschrauben 2a in der gewünschten Stellung befestigbar ist.At the in the FIGS. 4 and 5 recognizable outside of the bracket 1 is a guide 1g formed for the horizontal adjustment of the support rail 2, which can be fastened by two, a slot 2b by cross-fastening screws 2a in the desired position.

Die waagerechte Verstellung der Tragschiene 2 erfolgt mittels einer Einstellschraube 5. Der Kopf 5a der Einstellschraube 5 ist durch zwei am Haltewinkel 1 ausgebildete gabelförmige Lagerlaschen 1h festgelegt. Der Gewindeschaft 5b der Einstellschraube 5 greift in eine Gewindebohrung 2c der Tragschiene 2 ein, so daß je nach Drehrichtung der Einstellschraube 5 eine Verstellung der Tragschiene 2 erfolgt. Nach der Ausrichtung des Haltewinkels 1 mittels der Wandbefestigungsschrauben kann somit der Abstand der durch den Lagerbolzen 3 vorgegebenen Schwenkachse von der Wand W eingestellt werden. Nach erfolgter Einstellung wird die äußere Abdeckung 1a auf den Haltewinkel 1 aufgesetzt.The horizontal adjustment of the support rail 2 by means of an adjusting screw 5. The head 5a of the adjusting screw 5 is defined by two formed on the bracket 1 fork-shaped bearing plates 1h. The threaded shank 5b of the adjusting screw 5 engages in a threaded bore 2c of the support rail 2, so that, depending on the direction of rotation of the adjusting screw 5, an adjustment of the support rail 2 takes place. After the orientation of the bracket 1 by means of the wall mounting screws thus the distance of the predetermined by the bearing pin 3 pivot axis of the wall W can be adjusted. After the adjustment, the outer cover 1a is placed on the bracket 1.

Der in den Fign. 6 bis 8 dargestellte Türbeschlag 4 besitzt eine Lagerbohrung 4a für den Lagerzapfen 3, die an ihrem Ende 4b halbkugelförmig ausgebildet ist. Der Kopf 3a des Achsbolzens 3, der als Halbkugel ausgeführt ist, läßt somit den Ausgleich von Verwinklungen zwischen Tür T und der Schwenkachse um wenige Winkelgrade zu.The in the FIGS. 6 to 8 shown door fitting 4 has a bearing bore 4a for the bearing pin 3, which is formed hemispherical at its end 4b. The head 3a of the axle 3, which is designed as a hemisphere, thus allows the compensation of Verwinklungen between door T and the pivot axis by a few degrees.

Unterhalb des Kopfes 3a ist der Achsbolzen 3 als Vierkant mit abgeflachten Flächen 3b (siehe Fign. 4 und 5) ausgebildet. Mit diesen abgeflachten Flächen 3b wirkt ein Federsystem zusammen, das in den Fign. 6 und 9 dargestellt ist. Es besteht aus einem Druckstück 6, das in Lagerflächen 4c des Türbeschlages geführt ist. Das Druckstück 6 weist einen Führungsbolzen 6a für eine Druckfeder 7 auf, die sich mit einem Ende am Druckstück 6 abstützt. Das andere Ende der Druckfeder 7 stützt sich an einem Bügel 8 ab, der auf der dem Druckstück 6 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Achsbolzens 3 mit einem Ausgleichstück 9 verbunden ist. Wie Fig. 9 erkennen läßt, wird die Verbindung zwischen Bügel 8 und Ausgleichstück 9 durch eine Stellschraube 10 bewirkt, die in einer Gewindebohrung 8a des Bügels 8 angeordnet ist und mit ihrem Ende auf das Ausgleichstück 9 einwirkt. Auch das Ausgleichstück 9 ist in Lagerflächen 4d des Türbeschlages 4 verschiebbar geführt.Below the head 3a is the axle 3 as a square with flattened surfaces 3b (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) educated. With these flattened surfaces 3b a spring system cooperates, which in the FIGS. 6 and 9 is shown. It consists of a pressure piece 6, which is guided in bearing surfaces 4c of the door fitting. The pressure piece 6 has a guide pin 6a for a compression spring 7, which is supported with one end on the pressure piece 6. The other end of the compression spring 7 is supported on a bracket 8, which is connected to the pressure piece 6 opposite side of the axle 3 with a balance piece 9. As Fig. 9 can be seen, the connection between bracket 8 and balance piece 9 is effected by an adjusting screw 10 which is arranged in a threaded bore 8a of the bracket 8 and acts with its end on the balance piece 9. Also, the balance piece 9 is slidably guided in bearing surfaces 4 d of the door fitting 4.

Wie die Fig. 9 erkennen läßt, wirkt das Druckstück 6 unter der Wirkung der Druckfeder 7 auf eine der Flächen 3b des Achsbolzens 3 ein. Da sich die Druckfeder 7 am Bügel 8 abstützt, wird die Hälfte der Federkraft über die Stellschraube 10 auf das Ausgleichstück 9 übertragen, das den Achsbolzen 3 auf der gegenüberliegenden Fläche 3b belastet. Die durch die Druckfeder 7 erzeugte Belastung wird somit halbiert und auf gegenüberliegende Seiten des Achsbolzens 3 übertragen.As the Fig. 9 can be seen, the pressure piece 6 acts under the action of the compression spring 7 on one of the surfaces 3b of the axle 3 a. Since the compression spring 7 is supported on the bracket 8, half of the spring force is transmitted via the adjusting screw 10 on the compensation piece 9, which loads the axle 3 on the opposite surface 3b. The load generated by the compression spring 7 is thus halved and transmitted to opposite sides of the axle 3.

Wenn der Türbeschlag 4, in dem die in Fig. 9 gezeichneten Teile angeordnet sind, um den feststehenden Achsbolzen 3 verdreht wird, entsteht eine zunehmende Belastung, bis das Druckstück 6 und Ausgleichstück 9 die Diagonale des Achsbolzens 3 erreicht haben. Da der Abstand dieser Diagonale von der Schwenkachse größer ist als der Abstand der beiden Flächen 3b, wird eine ansteigende Kraft erzielt. Diese wird als Rückstellkraft auf die Tür T ausgeübt, welche die Tür T entweder in die Schließstellung oder in die um 90° gedrehte Offenstellung überführt. Trotz dieser an- und abschwellenden Rückstellkraft wird die Verklebung des Türbeschlages 4 mit der Tür T nicht belastet, da das Federsystem gemäß der voranstehenden Beschreibung in sich geschlossen ist und keine in der Klebefläche auftretenden Scherkräfte hervorruft.If the door fitting 4, in which the in Fig. 9 drawn parts are arranged to the fixed axle 3 is rotated, there is an increasing load until the pressure piece 6 and balance piece 9 have reached the diagonal of the axle 3. Since the distance of this diagonal from the pivot axis is greater than the distance between the two surfaces 3b, an increasing force is achieved. This is exerted as a restoring force on the door T, which the door T either in the closed position or in the rotated by 90 ° Open position transferred. Despite this increasing and decreasing restoring force, the bonding of the door fitting 4 with the door T is not charged, since the spring system is closed according to the above description in itself and does not cause any shear forces occurring in the adhesive surface.

Mit der Stellschraube 10 kann die Kraft der Druckfeder 7 stufenlos eingestellt werden. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, unter besonderen Bedingungen die Kraft der Druckfeder 7 vollständig aufzuheben, beispielsweise bei Montagearbeiten.With the screw 10, the force of the compression spring 7 can be adjusted continuously. Thus, it is possible, for example, completely cancel under special conditions, the force of the compression spring 7, for example, during assembly work.
