Description

The invention relates to a partition, in particular a shower partition, according to the features indicated in the preamble of patent claim 1.

From the DE 296 23 000 U1 Such a partition with a hinge or hinge is known, in which a lifting mechanism is integrated with a bearing element and a pressure element. There is provided a lifting mechanism at least partially surrounding cover, which is formed of hinge bodies of two hinge parts designated hinge parts, wherein the hinge body and thus the hinge parts are coupled by means of a hinge pin. The hinge parts are fastened or attachable on the one hand to a door element and on the other hand to a wall element, wherein the door element is pivotable about an essentially vertical pivot axis predetermined by means of the hinge. When pivoting and lifting the associated with the one hinge part door member is formed between the hinge body and the other connected to the wall element hinge body a gap, whereby a provided with chamfers intermediate piece of the lifting mechanism is exposed. In the first position, in which a passage of the partition is shut off by means of the door member, there is also a gap between said hinge bodies. Thus, in the mechanics foreign bodies, such as soap residue or limescale accumulate and affect the functionality even after a long useful life in a disadvantageous manner. The lifting mechanism is accessible from the outside and partially visible, and also by entering germs or pathogens, the hygiene requirements are not met in the required manner.

Furthermore, from the DE 20 2006 012 415 U1 a hinge and a shower enclosure and wall holder known and further from the DE 94 20 398 U1 a fitting for securing a door leaf known. Here, the covers of the lifting mechanisms are also formed by hinge body of the respective hinge parts, which arise during pivoting of the door element column and the lifting mechanisms are partially visible and accessible. The formation of the covers as separate caps is not previously known from these embodiments or suggested to the expert.

Furthermore, from the EP 1 460 220 A2 a trained as a shower partition partition with a pivoting door element is known, which is pivotally coupled by means of at least one hinge with a fixed wall element. The hinge includes a first hinge part connected to the door element and a second hinge part connected to the fixed wall element, a hinge pin being provided for coupling the two hinge parts. In a first position or closed position, a passage is shut off, for example, from the outside into a shower interior or vice versa by means of the door element. After at least partially pivoting the door element into a second position, the passage is at least partially released. In the closed position, the lower edge of the door element is sealed by means of a sealing element towards the bottom or towards a tub rim. When pivoting the door element, problems may arise with respect to any damage to the sealing element.

Therefore, for example, from the EP 1 243 213 A2 a shower partition known whose door element has a hinge profile in the region of a vertical longitudinal edge. At the upper end of the joint profile, an upper bearing assembly is provided with a longitudinal region cross-bearing arm. Furthermore, a lower bearing arrangement is provided below the lower edge of the door element, which is coupled by means of a bearing journal with said articulated profile. The lower bearing assembly includes a disposed on a tub rim or floor bearing element having a recess into which a connected to the hinge profile pin can engage by means of cams to specify certain pivotal positions, for example, the aforementioned first position and / or the second position. The door element is raised or lowered during pivoting according to its rotational angle position. Said lower bearing assembly is freely accessible, and there is a risk of malfunction due to contamination or entering the bearing assembly foreign body. Furthermore, the center of gravity of the door element to said lower bearing assembly on a fairly large distance or lever arm, so that the bearing assembly and its recesses and cams a significant torque acts, creating a massive and large-volume design of the bearing assembly is conditional.

Furthermore, from the DE 201 12 682 U1 a hinge for a hinged door, in particular a shower enclosure, known, wherein the hinge has a first bearing part for fixing the hinge, a second bearing part for connecting the pivot door and an intermediate piece. The intermediate piece is provided with a sliding bearing surface which is inclined to the pivot axis of the hinge, so that an axial movement of the pivoting movement can be superimposed. The intermediate piece is arranged in a preferably sleeve-shaped or cylindrical bearing portion of said first bearing part. The bolt also engages in a sleeve-shaped or cylindrical bearing portion of a second bearing part, wherein this bearing portion has an annular shoulder with a sliding bearing surface. The annular shoulder with the sliding bearing surface protrudes into the bearing portion of the first bearing part, wherein said sliding bearing surface bears against the inclined sliding bearing surface of the intermediate piece. The said bearing sections are located outside the planes of the pivoting door and the fixed wall element and also the pivot axis of the hinge, so that the pivoting door from the closed position can be pivoted in one direction only. Neither the hinged door nor the wall element contain recesses in the region of their associated vertical longitudinal edges. Since the intermediate piece with the inclined slide bearing surface and also the associated slide bearing surface of the second hinge part are arranged inside the sleeve-shaped or cylindrical bearing section of the first bearing part, the slide bearing surfaces have a rather small radial width, which may cause considerable surface pressures.

Proceeding from this, the invention has the object, the mentioned partition with a small design effort to the effect that with a simple design and low volume, the door element can be raised or lowered during pivoting. For this purpose, as few as possible and a small volume requiring components should be required to reduce the manufacturing and assembly costs. Furthermore, the above-mentioned disadvantages should be avoided. Also, the use of materials should be reduced to a minimum, and also the design requirements important in particular for shower enclosures should be met in a simple manner.

The solution of this task is carried out according to the features specified in claim 1.

The proposed partition is characterized by the integration of the lifting mechanism in the hinge and the lifting mechanism at least partially surrounding separately formed cap by a simple and yet functionally reliable construction. The lifting mechanism, which causes a lifting when pivoting the door element from the first position or closed position and allows pivoting back, is disposed within the cover also integrated in the hinge and thus protected against external influences. The door element includes in the hinge region at its vertical longitudinal edge a recess into which the lifting mechanism and advantageously provided cap are at least partially arranged and / or intervene. The cap is formed hollow inside and surrounds the Schanierbolzen and the elements of the lifting mechanism and is preferably formed substantially cylindrical. The one hinge part, to which, for example, the door element is fastened, likewise contains a recess corresponding to the recess of the door element, wherein the cover cap provided according to the invention also partially engages in the recess of said hinge part. The cap includes a substantially vertically extending slot through which passes through a hinge arm of the second hinge part, wherein the cap is secured with respect to the second hinge part and / or connected thereto wall element against rotation. The cap has in the vertical direction a predetermined height, which is at least approximately the same size as the height of the recess or the recesses of the door member and the first hinge part, whereby a backup is achieved in the axial direction. During pivoting movements and thereby taking place axial movements of the door element consequently the cap is raised or lowered. The cap has at its upper end a lid, which advantageously largely prevents the penetration of water spray or dirt from above into the interior and the lifting mechanism provided there.

The door element is formed in a preferred manner as a swing door, which is from the closed position in both directions, expediently by angular ranges of 90 ° and can be pivoted about. If the wall element similar to the door element is preferably designed as a plate, in particular a frameless glass plate, and / or as a fixed separating element of the partition wall, alternatively said recess may also be arranged in the region of the vertical longitudinal edge of the wall element. If the fixed wall element by a room wall, in particular a Bathing or shower room, formed, however, so said recess is the same as the first hinge part associated with the pivoting door element and the second hinge part is suitably formed as a connectable to the room wall elbow whose hinge arm engages with the lifting mechanism in the associated recess of the door element ,

For coupling the first hinge part connected to the door element with the second hinge part, a hinging bolt is provided, which is arranged in the region of said recess. The lifting mechanism comprises two lifting bodies and / or bearing elements and pressure elements which correspond to one another and which are connected in a rotationally fixed manner directly or indirectly to the first hinge arm or the second hinge arm. The said lifting body or elements have mutually associated inclined surfaces, curve parts or the like, which lie against one another in such a way that when the door element is pivoted, it is raised or lowered.

The partition wall preferably contains two spaced-apart hinges with the integrated lifting mechanism and the surrounding cap. Thus, the forces are distributed to the two lifting mechanisms, so that they can be designed in comparison with a single lifting mechanism for significantly lower loads and as a result have a significantly reduced volume of construction. Furthermore, the two hinges are advantageously arranged at predetermined intervals below the upper edge of the door element or above the lower edge of the door element. It has proven to be expedient to arrange the hinges at least at a distance of 5% from the upper edge or the lower edge, wherein the distance is expediently predetermined to 30% of the upper edge or lower edge.

Furthermore, in a preferred manner, the hinge including the lifting mechanism are designed such that the door element from the first position or closed position is pivotable or pendulum in both directions, and in each case advantageously up to 90 °, in particular to 100 °, possibly even above, so in that the door element as a whole can be pivoted over an angle of at least 180 °, advantageously 200 ° and optionally also over it. The door element is designed as a swing door and can thus be pivoted in two of said second positions to release the passage of the partition. When forming the partition wall as a shower partition wall, the door element may, if necessary, be pivoted inwardly into the shower interior or out into an exterior space become. In one or both of the second positions, the door element can be locked in an advantageous manner, in particular by appropriate training and tuning of the lifting and pressing elements, which contain recesses and corresponding cams in the inclined guide or contact surfaces, in particular for specifying the closed position and the two second pivoted positions. Further, it should be noted that due to the cap and in particular the arrangement of the lifting mechanism within the cap, the lifting mechanism is invisible to a user or user, which is suitably met the requirements for safety and / or the design of the partition and in particular its hinge. It has proved to be particularly useful to form the cap substantially and / or at least approximately cylindrical, which not only a good appealing design is possible, but also a compact design is achieved. Particular refinements and developments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims and the further description.
