Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of shower spaces.
  • a seat In a shower area, for example a shower stall or a bathtub with a shower, it may be convenient to have a seat so that you can shower while sitting.
  • seats for example a seat fixed against (or molded with) the wall of the shower, this seat being optionally collapsible so as to save space in the shower stall when this seat is not in use.
  • the seat When the seat is molded or integrated into the structure of a shower enclosure or bathtub, it can not be removed and therefore takes up space and disturbs the person showering.
  • such a seat is not very comfortable because it necessarily has a small seat in order to encroach as little as possible on the inside of the shower area, especially in the case of a shower stall.
  • this seat When this seat is foldable against the wall of the shower space, this seat and its attachment mechanism still protrude from the wall so that the user may hit him and hurt himself.
  • the height of such a seat is not adjustable depending on the size of the user, male or female, which is undesirable.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages.
  • the invention aims to provide a shower space in which the user can sit comfortably, or stay up while having all the side space of the shower area.
  • the shower area is provided with a substantially flat floor with at least a portion is perforated, which comprises a lift seat whose seat is formed by a portion of this floor.
  • the user has in the shower area a seat on which he can sit comfortably if he wishes by placing this seat in the raised position.
  • this seat can be folded so that the user can have the entire space of the shower without being bothered by the folded seat.
  • the fact that at least a portion of this floor is perforated allows the water to pass through to flow out of the shower area.
  • the fact that the floor is substantially flat means that in the folded position the seat does not exceed the height of the rest of the floor, and therefore the user is not likely to injure himself a foot on this seat.
  • the seat comprises a deployable mechanism and a fixing adapted to allow to adjust the seat of the seat to at least two different heights.
  • the user can sit comfortably regardless of its size, simply by adjusting the height of the seat to the height that suits him best.
  • This perforated floor may be for example a grating, that is to say be composed of boards assembled together in one direction and separated by grooves able to let water, or be composed of rods assembled together in two or three directions to form braces with holes.
  • the figure 1 represents a floor 10 grating, consisting of parallel boards separated by grooves. These boards are held together by perpendicular rods located on the underside of the floor 10.
  • a first edge 221 of the seat 22 comes into contact all along a first inner shoulder 41 on one side of the hole 40, and a second edge 222, opposite the first edge 221, comes into contact with all along the second inner shoulder 42 on the other side of the hole 40, opposite the first side.
  • the seat 22 of the seat In the folded position, when it is integrated in the floor, the seat 22 of the seat remains in the same plane as the floor 10, so that the floor is substantially flat, and the user is not likely to hurt himself .
  • the seat 20 comprises a gripping device 24 which allows to place the seat 22 in the raised position (elevated position relative to the rest of the floor).
  • This gripping device 24 must not protrude from the surface of the seat 20 so that the user does not hurt himself by stepping on it.
  • This gripping device 24 consists of two holes that allow the user to introduce the hand to lift the seat 22: 1 a first hole 241 is disposed near the first edge 221 of the seat 22, and a second hole 242 is disposed near the second edge 222 of the seat 22 opposite the first edge 221.
  • the first hole 241 and the second hole 242 open, to allow water to flow through the seat and not stagnate in these holes.
  • the seat 20 comprises a deployable mechanism 30 connecting the seat 22 to the rest of the floor 10 and adapted to support the seat 20 in the raised position. This mechanism is visible on the figure 2 .
  • the seat 22 When the seat is in the raised position (high position), the seat 22 (and the user sitting on it) is supported by this deployable mechanism 30, and is held in the raised position by a fastener 35 fixed under the seat 22.
  • the seat 20 thus comprises a fastener 35 which cooperates with the deployable mechanism 30 to maintain the seat in the raised position.
  • the deployable mechanism 30 is a foldable base under the seat 22 of the seat. Thus, this base does not exceed above the floor 10 when the seat 20 is folded into the floor 10 (low position).
  • This base is constituted by a first element 31 and a second element 32 each connecting the seat 22 of the seat with the rest of the floor, and articulated together by a rod 33 so as to form an X.
  • the first element 31 is a rectangular frame.
  • the second element 32 is a flat bar capable of pivoting in the space of the rectangular frame.
  • the upper side 312 of the first element 31 is articulated under the seat 22 near the first edge 221.
  • the lower side 311 of the first element 31 slides along rails extending along the edges of the hole 40 between the first inner shoulder 41 and the second inner shoulder 42 of the hole 40.
  • the lower side 321 of the second element 32 is articulated on the second inner shoulder 42 of the hole 40.
  • the upper side 322 of the second element 32 is able, in the high position, to engage in the fastener 35 fixed under the seat 22.
  • the two elements 31 and 32 are locked, and the seat 22 remains stable at a given height.
  • the upper side 322 of the second element 32 of the binding 35 is disengaged, then the seat 22 is lowered to the remainder of the floor 20.
  • the first element 31 and the second element 32 fold under the seat 22 until they come into contact along their entire length with the lower surface of the seat 22, the second element 32 then being surrounded by the first element 31.
  • the deployable mechanism 30 and the attachment 35 make it possible to adjust the seat 22 of the seat at two different heights.
  • the attachment 35 comprises a first row of catches 351 and a second row of catches 352 at different distances from the second edge 222 of the seat 20. engaging the upper side 322 of the second member 32 with the catches 351 or the catches 352, it is possible to choose the height of the seat 22.
  • the height of the seat 20 is therefore adjustable according to the size of the user, man, woman or child, who can sit more comfortably.
  • the floor is made of any material that can be used in a humid environment, that is to say that substantially retains its dimensions, its shape and its mechanical properties.
  • this floor is aluminum, stainless steel, wood or plastic.
  • the removable floor 10 occupies substantially the entire bottom 81 of the shower area.
  • a removable floor is that it can be removed if desired by the user. When in place, this floor provides the user with the comfort of being able to keep their feet out of the water when they shower, and safety, because its surface is generally less slippery than the bottom surface. from the shower enclosure or bathtub. For security and stability reasons, the floor occupies substantially the entire bottom of the shower area.
  • the outer edge 11 of the floor 10 rests on a circumferential rim 85 along the inner face of the wall 82 of the shower enclosure. In this way, there is a gap between the floor 10 and the bottom 81 of the shower enclosure, so that the flow of water below the floor 10 is not impeded.
  • the floor 10 may be provided with feet resting on the bottom 81 of the cabin. This configuration provides additional support for the floor 10 so that it remains flat. This configuration is useful in the case of a thinner floor, which then has the advantage of being lighter and therefore easier to handle, but which is then less rigid and therefore more deformable.
  • the seat 20 may have a rectangular shape, as shown in the Figures 1 to 3 , or another form: square, round, oval, or other.
  • the floor 10 can be made with the hole 40 without cutting.
  • the gripping device 24 may be retractable into the seat 22. It may be for example one or two (or more) retractable handles. In the retracted position, this or these handles do not exceed the surface of the seat 22. The user can remove these handles and lift the seat.
  • the floor can be integrated with the bottom of the shower space, in this case the shower stall.
  • the portion of the seating floor is perforated, in order to let the water flow through when the seat is folded into the rest of the floor.
  • the rest of the floor merges with the bottom of the shower area.
  • the shower area is a shower stall.
  • the invention applies similarly to the case where the shower area is a bathtub with a shower.
