Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Duschanordnung, die eine über einem Duschplatz angeordnete fest installierte Kopfbrause aufweist.The invention relates to a shower arrangement, which has a fixed shower head over a permanently installed overhead shower.

Bei einer bekannten Duschanordnung dieser Art ( US-2336402 ) ist ein Duschplatz in einer drei Seitenwände aufweisenden Kabine angeordnet. An den Ecken des Duschplatzes verlaufen Leitungen senkrecht nach oben, die sich in einer Kopfbrause oberhalb der Mitte des Duschplatzes treffen. An den senkrecht verlaufenden Leitungen sind Seitenbrausen angebracht.In a known shower arrangement of this type ( US 2336402 ) is arranged a shower area in a three-sided walls cabin. At the corners of the shower area, cables run vertically upwards, which meet in an overhead shower above the center of the shower area. On the vertical lines side showerheads are attached.

Unter Duschplatz soll hier eine Stelle verstanden werden, an der ein Benutzer stehen oder sitzend sich duscht. Es kann sich dabei um eine Duschkabine, eine Duschzelle, oder einen Platz in einer Badewanne handeln. Ein solcher Duschplatz hat auch einen ungefähren Mittelpunkt. Bei diesem Mittelpunkt kann es sich um den geometrischen Mittelpunkt handeln.A shower place is to be understood here as a place where a user stands or takes a shower. It can be a shower cubicle, a shower cubicle, or a place in a bathtub. Such a shower also has an approximate center. This center may be the geometric center.

Bei einer weiteren bekannten Brauseanordnung (In another known shower arrangement ( FR 1450087FR 1450087 ) sind drei senkrecht verlaufende Schenkel vorhanden, von denen zwei durch eine Querstrebe in der gleichen Ebene verbunden sind. Der dritte Schenkel ist mit einer rechtwinklig zu der Querstrebe verlaufenden Strebe mit dieser verbunden. Dieser dritte Schenkel weist ein Armaturengehäuse und zwei Zuleitungen auf.) There are three perpendicular legs, two of which are connected by a cross member in the same plane. The third leg is connected to a perpendicular to the cross strut extending strut with this. This third leg has a valve body and two leads.

Ebenfalls bekannt ist eine Brauseanordnung mit zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden Zuleitungen und einer Querstrebe, die einen Brausekopf aufweist (Also known is a shower arrangement with two mutually parallel supply lines and a transverse strut, which has a shower head ( FR 65990FR 65990 ). In jeder senkrecht verlaufenden Zuleitung ist ein Ventil angeordnet.). In each vertically extending supply line, a valve is arranged.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Duschanordnung zu schaffen, die bei einfachem Aufbau für die unterschiedlichsten Arten von Duschplätzen verwendbar ist.The invention is based on the object to provide a shower arrangement that is usable with a simple structure for a variety of types of shower seats.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Duschanordnung mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a shower arrangement with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Die Duschanordnung enthält also einen Hohlprofilbogen, der in zwei Schenkeln endet. Diese beiden Schenkel werden durch eine Querstrebe miteinander so verbunden, dass die Bügelform entsteht. Die Querstrebe kann gebogen verlaufen, so dass eine Art U entsteht. Sie kann aber auch von der gebogenen Form abweichen, bis hin zu einem geradlinigen Verlauf. Sie braucht auch nicht exakt an den oberen Enden der Schenkel anzugreifen, sondern kann von diesen einen gewissen Abstand aufweisen. An dieser Querstrebe ist eine Brause angebracht, und zwar so, dass sie etwa über dem Mittelpunkt des Duschplatzes liegt.The shower arrangement thus contains a hollow profile arch, which ends in two legs. These two legs are connected by a cross brace with each other so that the bow shape is formed. The cross brace can run bent so that a kind U is created. But it can also differ from the curved shape, up to a straight course. It also does not need to touch exactly at the upper ends of the legs, but may have a certain distance from them. At this cross strut a shower is attached, in such a way that it lies approximately over the center of the shower place.

Beide Schenkel liegen in einer Ebene, wobei die Ebene beider Schenkel identisch ist.Both legs lie in one plane, the plane of both legs being identical .

Durch diese Anordnung ist es möglich, eine Brause, die insbesondere als Kopfbrause ausgebildet ist, über dem Mittelpunkt des Duschplatzes anzubringen. Es brauchen keine zusätzlichen Halterungen vorhanden zu sein, mit Ausnahme des Hohlprofilbogens selbst.By this arrangement, it is possible to attach a shower, which is designed in particular as a shower head, above the center of the shower area. There is no need for additional brackets, except for the hollow profile bow itself.

Es ist denkbar, die unteren Enden der beiden Schenkel dazu zu verwenden, die Duschanordnung zu befestigen. Es kann aber mit Vorteil in Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden Schenkel zur insbesondere ortsfesten Anbringung an einer Wand oder einer sonstigen senkrecht verlaufenden Anordnung bestimmt sind. Da die Schenkel in einer Ebene angeordnet sind, lassen sie sich sehr leicht an einer senkrecht verlaufenden Fläche befestigen. Dabei kann die Befestigung direkt an der Wand oder mit einem gewissen Abstand vor der Wand erfolgen. Dies hängt unter anderem auch von der Art des Hohlprofils ab, beispielsweise davon, ob es sich um ein flaches Profil oder um ein Rundprofil handelt.It is conceivable to use the lower ends of the two legs to fix the shower arrangement. However, it may be provided with advantage in development that the two legs are intended for particular stationary attachment to a wall or other vertically extending arrangement. Since the legs are arranged in one plane, they can be easily attached to one another Attach vertical surface. The attachment can be done directly on the wall or with a certain distance in front of the wall. This depends inter alia on the type of hollow profile, for example, whether it is a flat profile or a round profile.

Die Orientierung der Brause über der Mitte des Duschplatzes geschieht dadurch, dass die Querstrebe des Hohlprofilbogens selbst so geführt ist, dass sie über dem Mittelpunkt des Duschplatzes verläuft.The orientation of the shower over the center of the shower area is done by the fact that the cross member of the hollow profile sheet itself is guided so that it extends over the center of the shower area.

Besonders sinnvoll ist es, dass, wie erfindungsgemäß ebenfalls vorgesehen ist, der gesamte Hohlprofilbogen in einer Ebene liegt.It is particularly useful that, as is also provided according to the invention, the entire hollow profile sheet lies in a plane.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass beide Schenkel geradlinig ausgebildet sind. Dies ist die einfachste Herstellungsmöglichkeit, die auch die vielfältigsten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten bietet.According to the invention it is provided that both legs are formed in a straight line. This is the simplest manufacturing option, which also offers the widest variety of applications.

Die Erfindung schlägt vor, dass mindestens ein Schenkel der Duschanordnung, vorzugsweise beide Schenkel, mit mindestens einer Brause versehen ist. Es kann sich dabei um kleine, Platz sparende Seitenbrausen handeln.The invention proposes that at least one leg of the shower arrangement, preferably both legs, is provided with at least one showerhead. These can be small, space-saving side showers.

Die Versorgung der mindestens einen Brause erfolgt über eine im Inneren des Hohlprofils angeordnete Wasserführung. Aus optischen Gründen ist die Anordnung der Wasserführung im Inneren des Hohlprofilbogens bevorzugt. Dies gilt umso mehr, als das Armaturengehäuse ja direkt mit dem einen Schenkel des Hohlprofilbogens verbunden ist.The supply of at least one shower via a arranged inside the hollow profile water supply. For optical reasons, the arrangement of the water guide in the interior of the hollow profile sheet is preferred. This is even more so, as the fitting housing is indeed connected directly to the one leg of the hollow profile sheet.

Die Figuren 3, 8 und 9 zeigen keine Ausführungsform der Erfindung.The Figures 3 . 8 and 9 show no embodiment of the invention.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Übersicht die Art, wie die Duschanordnung nach der Erfindung in einer Duschkabine mit Wänden und einem Boden angebracht werden kann. Die Duschanordnung enthält einen ersten Schenkel 1, der im dargestellten Beispiel geradlinig ausgebildet ist und daher in einer Ebene liegt. Der Schenkeln 1 ist mit einem Armaturengehäuse 2 versehen, das in Bedienhöhe angeordnet ist. Im dargestellten Beispiel führt der Schenkeil 1 sowohl auf der Oberseite als auch auf der Unterseite des Armaturengehäuses 2 aus diesem heraus. Auch wenn innerhalb des Armaturengehäuses der Schenkel 1 nicht als durchgehendes Rohr ausgebildet ist, wird dieser Eindruck durch die Anordnung vermittelt. Der Schenkel 1 verläuft also oberhalb und unterhalb des Armaturengehäuses 2 in einer Linie. FIG. 1 shows in a schematic overview of the way in which the shower arrangement according to the invention can be mounted in a shower cubicle with walls and a floor. The shower assembly includes a first leg 1, which is formed in a straight line in the example shown and therefore lies in a plane. The legs 1 is provided with a fitting housing 2, which is arranged at operating height. In the example shown, the Schenkeil 1 performs both on the top and on the underside of the fitting housing 2 out of this. Even if inside the fitting housing, the leg 1 is not formed as a continuous tube, this impression is conveyed by the arrangement. The leg 1 thus extends above and below the fitting housing 2 in a line.

Die Duschanordnung enthält einen zweiten Schenkel 3, der im dargestellten Beispiel ebenfalls geradlinig ausgebildet ist. Er liegt dementsprechend ebenfalls in einer Ebene. In dem hier dargestellten einfachsten Fall verlaufen die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 parallel zueinander und liegen daher auch in der gleichen Ebene.The shower assembly includes a second leg 3, which is also formed in a straight line in the example shown. He is therefore also in a plane. In the simplest case illustrated here, the two limbs 1, 3 run parallel to one another and therefore also lie in the same plane.

Die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 sind in ihrem oberen Bereich durch eine Querstrebe 4 verbunden, die nicht als geradliniger Teil ausgebildet zu sein braucht, sondern aus mehreren winkligen oder gebogenen Teilen bestehen kann. Unter Querstrebe ist derjenige Teil zu verstehen, der die beiden Schenkel miteinander verbindet. In ihrem oberen Bereich ist die Querstrebe 4 mit einer Brause 5 versehen, vorzugsweise einer Kopfbrause, die direkt nach unten ihre Strahlen abgibt.The two legs 1, 3 are connected in their upper region by a transverse strut 4, which need not be formed as a straight part, but may consist of several angular or curved parts. Under cross strut is the part to understand that connects the two legs together. In its upper part is the cross strut 4 with a shower 5 provided, preferably an overhead shower, which emits their rays directly down.

Der erste Schenkel 1 ist an der einen Wand 6 der Duschkabine befestigt, und zwar mit einem Abstand von der Ecke 7, die diese Wand 6 mit der zweiten Wand 8 verbindet.The first leg 1 is attached to the one wall 6 of the shower cubicle, with a distance from the corner 7, which connects this wall 6 with the second wall 8.

Der zweite Schenkel 3 der Duschanordnung ist ebenfalls an einer Wand 8 befestigt, und zwar an der mit der ersten Wand 6 über die Ecke 7 verbundenen Wand 8. Auch die Befestigung des zweiten Schenkels 3 geschieht mit Abstand von der Ecke 7. Dadurch verläuft die Querstrebe 4 fast diagonal über den Duschplatz, so dass ihr oberer Bereich direkt oberhalb der ungefähren Mitte des Duschplatzes angeordnet ist.The second leg 3 of the shower arrangement is also attached to a wall 8, namely on the wall connected to the first wall 6 via the corner 7 8. The attachment of the second leg 3 is done at a distance from the corner 7. This extends the cross member 4 almost diagonally across the shower area, so that its upper area is located directly above the approximate center of the shower area.

Die Schenkel 1, 3 und die Querstrebe 4 sind als durchgehendes Hohlprofil ausgebildet, so dass die Wasserführung zu der Kopfbrause 5, ausgehend von dem Armaturengehäuse 2, durch das Innere des Hohlprofils erfolgen kann. In dem Armaturengehäuse 2 ist eine nicht näher erläuterte Armatur untergebracht, die mit Hilfe eines Bedienelements 9 bedient werden kann. An beiden geradlinig verlaufenden Schenkeln 1, 3 sind einzelne nach innen gerichtete Seitenbrausen 11 angeordnet.The legs 1, 3 and the cross member 4 are formed as a continuous hollow profile, so that the water supply to the overhead shower 5, starting from the fitting housing 2, can be done through the interior of the hollow profile. In the fitting housing 2 an unspecified fitting is housed, which can be operated by means of a control element 9. At both rectilinear legs 1, 3 individual inwardly directed side showers 11 are arranged.

Das mit dem Armaturengehäuse 2 versehene Hohlprofil kann nicht nur über Eck in einer Duschkabine angeordnet werden, wobei die Ecke auch nicht rechtwinklig zu sein braucht, sondern auch an zwei nicht über eine Ecke miteinander verbundenen Wänden, wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Hier sind zwei Wände 6, 8 angedeutet, die über eine dritte Wand 12 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Wände 6, 8 können insbesondere parallel zueinander verlaufen. Auch hier lässt sich die Duschanordnung an den beiden Wänden festschrauben, wobei dann wiederum die Querstrebe 4 über die ungefähre Mitte des Duschplatzes verläuft.The provided with the fitting housing 2 hollow profile can be arranged not only corner in a shower cubicle, the corner also need not be rectangular, but also to two not connected via a corner walls, as shown in FIG. 2 is shown. Here are two walls 6, 8 indicated, which are connected to each other via a third wall 12. The walls 6, 8 can in particular run parallel to one another. Again, the shower arrangement can be screwed to the two walls, in turn, then the cross member 4 extends over the approximate center of the shower area.

In Figur 1 und 2 wird die selbe Anordnung verwendet. Hier liegt der gesamte Hohlprofilbogen in einer Ebene. Die Schenkel sind geradlinig und verlaufen parallel zueinander. Figur 3 zeigt nun eine Anordnung, bei der die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 ebenfalls geradlinig und parallel zueinander verlaufen, als auch in der gleichen Ebene liegen. Die Querstrebe ist aber aus der Ebene, in der die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 liegen, heraus gebogen. Dadurch lässt sich diese Anordnung vor einer einzelnen Wand anbringen, wobei die Brause 5 dennoch so weit von der Wand 6 entfernt angeordnet ist, dass auch hier ein Duschplatz gebildet werden kann. Die Draufsicht auf die Duschanordnung der Figur 3 entspricht etwa der Figur 9.In FIG. 1 and 2 the same arrangement is used. Here lies the entire hollow profile sheet in one plane. The legs are straight and run parallel to each other. FIG. 3 now shows an arrangement in which the two legs 1, 3 are also rectilinear and parallel to each other, as well as in the same plane. But the cross strut is bent out of the plane in which the two legs 1, 3 lie. As a result, this arrangement can be mounted in front of a single wall, the shower head 5 is still so far away from the wall 6 that also here a shower can be formed. The top view of the shower arrangement of FIG. 3 is about the same FIG. 9 ,

Die folgenden Figuren zeigen stark vereinfacht Möglichkeiten, wie der Hohlprofilbogen ausgebildet werden kann. Dabei ist zum Teil das Armaturengehäuse 2 weg gelassen. Darüber hinaus ist die Querstrebe 4 immer als geradlinig verlaufendes Teil ausgebildet. Figur 4 und 5 zeigen Frontansicht und Draufsicht auf die einfachste Form, wo nämlich beide Schenkel 1, 3 geradlinig parallel zueinander verlaufen, also in der gleichen Ebene liegen, und wo auch die Querstrebe 4 in der gleichen Ebene liegt. Dies entspricht der Anordnung der Figur 1 und 2, wenn man davon absieht, dass die Querstrebe hier geradlinig ist.The following figures show greatly simplified ways in which the hollow profile sheet can be formed. Here, part of the valve body 2 is left away. In addition, the cross strut 4 is always formed as a straight running part. FIGS. 4 and 5 show front view and top view of the simplest form, namely, where both legs 1, 3 are parallel to each other in a straight line, that lie in the same plane, and where the cross member 4 is in the same plane. This corresponds to the arrangement of FIG. 1 and 2 if one disregards the fact that the cross strut is straightforward here.

Die Frontansicht der Figur 4 entspricht auch der Anordnung der Figur 3.The front view of the FIG. 4 also corresponds to the arrangement of FIG. 3 ,

Die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen eine Anordnung, bei der der Hohlprofilbogen mit den beiden Schenkeln 1, 3 und der Querstrebe 4 in einer Ebene liegt, die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 aber nicht parallel zueinander verlaufen. Aus optischen Gründen kann eine solche Anordnung ebenfalls sinnvoll sein.The FIGS. 6 and 7 show an arrangement in which the hollow profile arc with the two legs 1, 3 and the cross member 4 is in a plane, the two legs 1, 3 but not parallel to each other. For optical reasons, such an arrangement may also be useful.

Figur 8 zeigt eine weitere Anordnungsmöglichkeit, bei der die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 in der Frontansicht parallel zueinander verlaufen, nicht aber in der Draufsicht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform liegen die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 in parallel zueinander verlaufenden Ebenen. Diese Anordnung könnte beispielsweise so angebracht werden, wie dies die Figur 2 zeigt. FIG. 8 shows a further arrangement possibility, in which the two legs 1, 3 in the front view parallel to each other, but not in plan view. In this embodiment, the two legs 1, 3 lie in mutually parallel planes. This arrangement could for example be applied as the FIG. 2 shows.

Figur 9 zeigt eine Draufsicht, die beispielsweise der Figur 3 entspricht. Aber auch eine Anordnung mit zwei divergierenden Schenkeln 1, 3 wie in Figur 6 könnte so ausgebildet sein, dass die Querstrebe 4 aus der Ebene der beiden Schenkel 1, 3 nach vorne heraus gebogen ist. FIG. 9 shows a plan view, for example, the FIG. 3 equivalent. But also an arrangement with two diverging legs 1, 3 as in FIG. 6 could be designed so that the transverse strut 4 is bent out of the plane of the two legs 1, 3 to the front.

Figur 10 zeigt eine Frontansicht bei einer Ausführungsform, bei der die beiden Schenkel 1, 3 konvergierend ausgebildet sind. Figur 11 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Anordnung der Figur 10, aus der zu sehen ist, dass die beiden Schenkel auch nach hinten konvergieren. Wiederum sind beide Schenkel 1,3 jeweils in einer eigenen Ebene angeordnet, wobei die Ebenen der beiden Schenkel jetzt nicht zusammenfallen. Eine solche Anordnung kann beispielsweise in einer Ecke angebracht werden, wobei der Winkel zwischen den beiden Ebenen der beiden Schenkel 1, 3 mit dem Eckenwinkel übereinstimmen sollte. FIG. 10 shows a front view in an embodiment in which the two legs 1, 3 are formed converging. FIG. 11 shows a plan view of the arrangement of FIG. 10 from which it can be seen that the two legs also converge to the rear. Again, both legs are 1.3 each arranged in a separate plane, the levels of the two legs now do not coincide.
