Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine kombinierte Bade- und Duschvorrichtung zur Verwendung als Badewanne und/oder als Dusche mit einer einen abgesenkten, ebenerdigen oder annähernd ebenerdigen Einstiegsbereich aufweisenden Wanne, welcher mittels einer über den Rand der Wanne hinausragenden, gleichzeitig als Spritzschutz dienenden Duschtür beim Baden gegenüber der Umgebung wasserdicht verschließbar ist Dabei schlägt die Duschtür im Einstragsbereich von innem an der Duschwand an und nach innen geöffnet.The invention relates to a combined bathing and showering device for use as a bathtub and / or shower with a lowered, ground-level or approximately ground-level access area having pan, which by means of a projecting beyond the edge of the tub, at the same time serving as a splash guard shower door when bathing Waterproof environment can be closed The shower door in the Einentragsbereich of innem on the shower wall and open to the inside opens.

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Bade- und Duschvorrichtung zur Verwendung als Badewanne und/oder als Dusche nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a bath and shower device for use as a bathtub and / or shower according to the preamble of the main claim.

Duschen der üblichen Bauart mit einer einen niederen, ebenerdigen oder fast ebenerdigen Rand aufweisenden Duschwanne ermöglichen es wegen des zu geringen möglichen Wasserstandes nicht, in der Duschwanne sitzend ein vollwertiges Bad mit ins Wasser getauchten Schultern zu nehmen. Demgegenüber ermöglicht eine Badewanne mit einem Spritzschutz in Form eines Duschvorhangs oder einem aus Glasscheiben bestehenden Duschaufsatz zwar das Duschen und Baden, wohingegen ein ebenerdiger oder fast ebenerdiger Einstieg wie in eine Duschwanne hinein nicht möglich ist, da der hohe Rand der Badewanne überklettert werden muss. Dies stellt insbesondere für Gehbehinderte und ältere Menschen ein fast unüberwindbares Hindemis dar, weshalb es weitgehend üblich ist, bei ausreichend Bauraum im Badezimmer sowohl eine Dusche, als auch eine Badewanne zu installieren, verbunden mit dem Nachteil höherer Kosten, einerseits für zwei getrennte Installationen, welche darüber hinaus sehr selten gleichzeitig genutzt werden, und andererseits durch die Größe des Badezimmers, welches eine größere Grundfläche als bei Installation nur einer Dusche oder nur einer Badewanne aufweisen muss.Showers of the usual design with a lower, ground-level or almost ground-level edge shower tray do not allow it because of the low possible water level, sitting in the shower tray to take a full bath with submerged in the water shoulders. In contrast, allows a bathtub with a splash guard in the form of a shower curtain or glass panes Although the existing shower attachment while showering and bathing, whereas a ground-level or almost ground-level entrance as in a shower tray inside is not possible because the high edge of the bathtub must be climbed. This is an almost insurmountable obstacle especially for disabled and elderly people, which is why it is common practice to install with sufficient space in the bathroom both a shower, and a bathtub, coupled with the disadvantage of higher costs, on the one hand for two separate installations In addition, very rarely used simultaneously, and on the other by the size of the bathroom, which must have a larger footprint than when installing only a shower or just a bathtub.

Aus der DE 299 14 087 U1 ist eine Bade- und Duschvorrichtung mit einem wannenartig ausgebildeten Unterbau bekannt, der in seiner Randhöhe etwa der Randhöhe einer Badewanne entspricht und der einen annähernd ebenerdigen Einstiegsbereich aufweist, der mittels einer gegen eine an dem Unterbau im Einstiegsbereich angeordnete Weichgummidichtung anschlagende Tür wasserdicht gegenüber der Umgebung verschließbar ist. Die Tür verfügt dabei über Schließmittel welche es erlauben die Tür ausreichend stark gegen die Weichgummidichtung zu pressen, dass sie im geschlossenen Zustand so eng an dieser anliegt, dass kein Wasser aus dem Unterbau austreten kann. Der Unterbau ist dabei als ein gefliester Holz-Multiplexkem ausgebildet, über dem ein Spritzschutz in Form eines Duschvorhangs oder in Form von Glastüren, ähnlich einem für eine Badewanne erhältlichen Spritzschutzaufsatz, angeordnet ist.From the DE 299 14 087 U1 is a bathing and showering device with a trough-like substructure known in its edge height corresponds approximately to the edge height of a bathtub and has an approximately ground-level access area, which closes by means of a against a arranged on the base in the boarding area soft rubber seal door waterproof to the environment is. The door has closing means which allow the door to be pressed sufficiently strongly against the soft rubber seal so that, when closed, it rests so close to it that no water can escape from the substructure. The substructure is designed as a tiled wood Multiplexkem over which a splash guard in the form of a shower curtain or in the form of glass doors, similar to a available for a bathtub splash guard is arranged.

Nachteilig daran ist, dass die wasserdicht schließende Tür nur bis zum Rand des Unterbaus reicht, wodurch ein zusätzlicher, getrennt von der Tür zu öffnender Spritzschutz installiert werden muss, beispielsweise ein Duschvorhang oder ein Glasaufsatz. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist der geringe Vorfertigungsgrad des wannenartigen Unterbaus der außen und innen gefliest werden muss, verbunden mit dem Nachteil einer schlechten Möglichkeit der Reinigung und Säuberung der Fugen zwischen den Fliesen, insbesondere in dem Bereich, der zum Duschen und Baden verwendet werden kann.The disadvantage of this is that the watertight closing door extends only to the edge of the substructure, whereby an additional, separate from the door to be opened splash guard must be installed, such as a shower curtain or a glass top. Another disadvantage is the low degree of prefabrication of the trough-like substructure which must be tiled on the outside and inside, with the disadvantage of a poor possibility of cleaning and cleaning the joints between the tiles, especially in the area that can be used for showering and bathing.

Die Duschtür schlägt im Einstiegsbereich von innen an der Duschwand an, wird nach innen geöffnet und schließt mit der Oberkante der Wanne bündig ab.
Aus IT-U-00251082 ist ein Bate-und Duschvorrichtung bekannt, welche gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Haustanspruchs ausgebildet ist. Die Tür ist zweiteilig ausgeführt, wobei ein Benutzer die zwei Teile bedienen muss.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte kombinierte Bade-und Duschvorrichtung zu entwickeln.By the US-A-4 542 545 is a bath and shower device for use as a bathtub and / or shower with a lowered entry area having shower area known which is waterproof sealed by a shower door. The shower door strikes the shower wall from the inside in the entrance area, opens inwards and closes flush with the upper edge of the tub.
Out IT-U-00251082 a bate and shower apparatus is known, which is designed according to the preamble of the petition. The door is designed in two parts, with one user having to operate the two parts.
The invention is therefore based on the object to develop an improved combined bath and shower device.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Die Vorrichtung weist gegenüber dem Stand der Technik den Vorteil auf, dass die Tür als eine in ihrer Höhe über den Rand der Wanne bis vorzugsweise mindestens auf Stehhöhe hinausragende, einteilige Duschtür ausgeführt ist, als Spritzschutz gegenüber der Umgebung bei einer Verwendung der Bade- und Duschvorrichtung als Dusche dienen kann. Durch die Anordnung der Duschtür innen hilft der Wasserdruck mit, die Duschtür auf die Dichtung zu drücken, um so den schwierigen Bereich der Dichtheit maßgeblich zu erleichtern.The device has over the prior art has the advantage that the door is designed as a height in its height over the edge of the tub to preferably at least standing height protruding, one-piece shower door, as splash protection against the environment when using the bath and shower device can serve as a shower. By arranging the shower door inside, the water pressure helps with that Press the shower door on the seal, so as to facilitate the difficult area of tightness significantly.

Eine in Figur 1 dargestellte Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 besteht aus einer Wanne 2 mit einem abgesenkten, annähernd ebenerdig angeordneten Einstiegsbereich 3, der von einer über den Rand 5 der Wanne 2 in der Höhe hinausragenden Duschtür 4 wasserdicht verschlossen werden kann. An der Wanne 2 ist hierfür wie in Figur 2 zu erkennen, im Einstiegsbereich 3 im Kontaktbereich 7 mit der Duschtür 4 eine Dichtfläche 6 angeordnet, auf der eine um den abgesenkten Einstiegsbereich 3 umlaufende, gegen die Duschtür 4 gerichtete Dichtung 8 angeordnet ist. Die Dichtung 8 ist vorzugsweise eine Silikondichtung, die nach dem Öffnen der Duschtür 4 wieder ihre ursprüngliche Form annimmt. Die Duschtür 4 selbst ist mittels zweier wasserdichter Scharniere 9 an einer vertikalen Wandhalterung 10 angeordnet. Anstelle der Scharniere 9 ist auch die Verwendung eines Scharnierbands denkbar, mit dem die Duschtür 4 an einer Wandhalterung 10, oder als Alternative zu der Wandhalterung 10 an einer als Spritzschutz zwischen der Wand und der Duschtür 4 fest angeordneten Glasplatte angeordnet sein kann. Zum Öffnen ist ein Griff 16 an der Duschtür 4 angeordnet. Auf einen Verschluss, der die Duschtür 4 gegen die Dichtung 8 im Bereich der Dichtfläche 6 presst, kann verzichtet werden, da die Duschtür 4 von innen an die Wanne 2 im Kontaktbereich 7 am Einstiegsbereich 3 anschlägt, wodurch bei der Verwendung der Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 als Badewanne durch den statischen Wasserdruck in der Wanne 2 die Duschtür 4 gegen die umlaufende Dichtung 8 gepresst wird. Die Wanne 2 ist dabei als einteiliges Formteil 11 mit integriertem abgesenktem Einstiegsbereich 3 und Rand 5, sowie im Kontaktbereich 7 zwischen Einstiegsbereich 3 und Duschtür 4 ausgeformter Dichtfläche 6 ausgeführt.

Ebenso ist eine Ausführung ohne integrierte Sitzfläche und/oder mit glattem Wannenboden 14 im Duschbereich 13 zur leichteren Reinigung denkbar. Das Formteil 11 kann dabei als ein beschichtetes, beispielsweise emailliertes Tiefziehteil aus einem metallischen Werkstoff oder als eine formgespritzte oder tiefgezogene Acrylwanne, oder als ein GFK, CFK oder aus einem anderen faserverstärkten Kunststoff im Handauflegeverfahren oder Spritzverfahren hergestellt sein. Zur Aufstellung wird das Formteil mit dem Wannenboden 14 und dem abgesenkten Einstiegsbereich 3 auf den Fußboden oder den Estrich nach dem Unterfüttern, beispielsweise mittels Mörtel, gesetzt. Das Formteil 11 wird anschließend von außen bis unter den Rand 5 eingemauert und mit Kacheln 15 bzw. Fliesen oder einer Schürze versehen, welche passend zur Badezimmereinrichtung gewählt werden können. In Figur 3 ist zu erkennen, dass hinter der Duschtür 4 an der Wand eine Brause 17 angeordnet ist, so dass bei einer Verwendung der Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 als Dusche die Duschtür 4 als Spritzschutz dient und ein Verspritzen der Umgebung im Badezimmer um die Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 herum verhindert. Die Duschtür 4 ist dabei aus einem klaren, transparenten Werkstoff, beispielsweise Mineralglas oder Plexiglas oder Acrylglas hergestellt, um nicht störend und den Raum verkleinernd das Badezimmer und insbesondere die Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 einzuengen und abzudunkeln, sondern um beim Baden einen wie in einer normalen Badewanne üblichen, ungestörten Blick in das Badezimmer werfen zu können.An in FIG. 1 illustrated bathing and shower device 1 consists of a trough 2 with a lowered, approximately at ground level arranged access area 3, which can be sealed watertight by a projecting beyond the edge 5 of the tub 2 in the shower door 4. On the tub 2 is this as in FIG. 2 to recognize in the entry area 3 in the contact area 7 with the shower door 4, a sealing surface 6 is arranged on the one around the lowered entry area 3 encircling, directed against the shower door 4 seal 8 is arranged. The seal 8 is preferably a silicone gasket, which assumes its original shape after opening the shower door 4 again. The shower door 4 itself is arranged by means of two waterproof hinges 9 on a vertical wall bracket 10. Instead of the hinges 9 and the use of a hinge band is conceivable, with which the shower door 4 can be arranged on a wall bracket 10, or as an alternative to the wall bracket 10 on a fixed as splash protection between the wall and the shower door 4 glass plate. To open a handle 16 is arranged on the shower door 4. On a closure, which presses the shower door 4 against the seal 8 in the region of the sealing surface 6, can be omitted, since the shower door 4 abuts from the inside to the tub 2 in the contact area 7 at the boarding area 3, whereby in the use of the bathing and showering device 1 as a bathtub by the static water pressure in the tub 2, the shower door 4 pressed against the circumferential seal 8 becomes. The trough 2 is designed as a one-piece molded part 11 with integrated lowered entry area 3 and edge 5, as well as in the contact area 7 between the entry area 3 and the shower door 4 formed sealing surface 6. The molded part 11 in this case has a bathing area 12 with a seat surface, which is formed on the tub floor 14, not shown, as well as a shower area 13 with a non-slip tub floor 14. The slip resistance can be generated in the form of in the production of the molded part 11, for example, in the gel coat as usual in water sports by means of sands, rubber coating, or non-slip coating, for example, in the gel coat. Likewise, a design without integrated seat and / or smooth tub bottom 14 in the shower area 13 for easier cleaning is conceivable. The molded part 11 can be produced as a coated, for example enamelled deep-drawn part of a metallic material or as a molded or deep-drawn acrylic tub, or as a fiberglass, carbon fiber or other fiber-reinforced plastic in manual laying or spraying. To set up the molding with the tub bottom 14 and the lowered boarding area 3 is placed on the floor or the screed after relining, for example by means of mortar. The molding 11 is then walled in from the outside to below the edge 5 and provided with tiles 15 or tiles or apron, which can be chosen to match the bathroom furniture. In FIG. 3 It can be seen that behind the shower door 4 on the wall a shower head 17 is arranged, so that when using the bath and shower device 1 as a shower, the shower door 4 serves as a splash guard and splashing the environment in the bathroom to the bathing and showering device 1 prevented around. The shower door 4 is made of a clear, transparent material, such as mineral glass or Plexiglas or acrylic glass, so as not to disturb and narrow the space the bathroom and especially the bathing and showering device 1 and darken, but to bathe as in a normal Bathtub usual, undisturbed look in the bathroom to be able to throw.

In Fig. 3 ist in der Nähe der Brause 17 auf dem Wannenrand 5 ein Sitz 20 angeordnet, auf den sich der Duschende oder Badende auch setzen kann. Die Brause 17 kann an einer Verschubleiste bzw. -schiene 21 verschoben werden.In Fig. 3 is near the shower 17 on the tub rim 5, a seat 20 arranged on the shower or bather can also sit down. The showerhead 17 can be moved to a Verschubleiste or rail 21.

Im Schnittbild der Fig. 4 sind noch einmal zwei Dichtungsbereiche Va und Vb zwischen der Duschtür 4 und der Wanne 2 besonders markiert. Diese markierten Einzelheiten sind in Fig. 5 vergrößert dargestellt. Auf der Wanne 2 ist die Dichtung 8 zu erkennen, auf die die Duschtür 4 unter dem Wasserdruck 19 gedrückt wird. Der Wasserdruck 19 trägt zur Dichtheit bei, so dass die Griffverriegelung 18 (Figuren 1-3) nur mehr die Sicherheitsfunktion übernehmen muss. Bei anderen Konstruktionen müsste die Duschtür 4 mit den Scharnieren 9 und der Verriegelung wesentlich massiver gestaltet werden.In the sectional view of the Fig. 4 Once again two sealing areas Va and Vb between the shower door 4 and the tub 2 are particularly marked. These marked details are in Fig. 5 shown enlarged. On the tub 2, the seal 8 can be seen, to which the shower door 4 is pressed under the water pressure 19. The water pressure 19 contributes to the tightness, so that the handle lock 18 (FIG. Figures 1-3 ) only has to take over the safety function. In other constructions, the shower door 4 with the hinges 9 and the lock would have to be much more massive.

Die Erfindung ist insbesondere im Bereich der Herstellung von sanitären Einrichtungen, insbesondere Badezimmereinrichtungen, gewerblich anwendbar.The invention is particularly applicable in the field of production of sanitary facilities, in particular bathroom facilities, industrially applicable.

  5. 5. Die Verschubstange (21) kann die Handbrause (17) aufnehmen und gewährleistet an dieser Position den größten Spritzschutz.
The invention is characterized in particular by the following advantages:
  1. 1. The water pressure (19) contributes to the tightness, so that the lock only has to take over the safety function.
  2. 2. The door hinge (9) need not be located in the water area.
  3. 3. By the inwardly opening door (4), the invention is particularly suitable for small bathrooms.
