Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower arrangement, which has a fixed shower head over a permanently installed overhead shower.
  • 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.
  • a shower arrangement with two mutually parallel supply lines and a transverse strut, which has a shower head ( FR 65990 ).
  • a valve is arranged in each vertically extending supply line.
  • 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.
  • the invention proposes a shower arrangement with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • 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.
  • a shower is attached, in such a way that it lies approximately over the center of the shower place.
  • Both legs lie in one plane, the plane of both legs being identical .
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the entire hollow profile sheet lies in a plane.
  • both legs are formed in a straight line. This is the simplest manufacturing option, which also offers the widest variety of applications.
  • 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.
  • the supply of at least one shower via a arranged inside the hollow profile water supply is preferred. This is even more so, as the fitting housing is indeed connected directly to the one leg of the hollow profile sheet.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a transverse strut 4 Under cross strut is the part to understand that connects the two legs together.
  • a shower 5 In its upper part is the cross strut 4 with a shower 5 provided, preferably an overhead shower, which emits their rays directly down.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • an unspecified fitting is housed, which can be operated by means of a control element 9.
  • individual inwardly directed side showers 11 are arranged.
  • 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.
  • the walls 6, 8 can in particular run parallel to one another.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 the same arrangement is used.
  • 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.
  • 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 ,
  • 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.
  • the front view of the FIG. 4 also corresponds to the arrangement of FIG. 3 ,
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the two legs 1, 3 lie in mutually parallel planes. This arrangement could for example be applied as the FIG. 2 shows.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Such an arrangement can for example be mounted in a corner, wherein the angle between the two planes of the two legs 1, 3 should coincide with the corner angle.
