Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a panel for covering bathtubs, or the like.
  • Bathtubs are currently produced using various processes of which the most frequently adopted, in view of its practical nature, is thermoforming of sheets of plastic material.
  • the supporting structure of the bathtub is surrounded by a plurality of polystyrene elements.
  • the side walls of the polystyrene pallelepiped are then covered with tiles.
  • the covering of the bathtub (both as regards the colours that are used and the construction materials) doesn't always fits perfectly with the environment in which the bathtub is to be installed. Also, when the user decides to redecorate the walls of the bathroom (or change the covering of the walls), it is often necessary to consider the colour of the bathtub already present or, in some cases, the bathtub must be replaced with a new one better suited to the new colour scheme of the environment in which it is to be installed.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a panel for covering bathtubs that is easy to install and possibly to replace, so that, where necessary, the supporting structure of the bathtub and related plumbing devices can be re-used, changing only the side covering of the bathtub.
  • a panel for covering bathtubs as defined in the attached independent claims and, preferably, in any of the claims depending directly or indirectly on the aforementioned independent claims.
  • figure 1 designated as a whole by number 10 is a first embodiment of a panel for covering bathtubs, or the like, according to the present invention.
  • the panel 10 comprises a support frame 11 of substantially rectangular shape which, in its turn, comprises a surround 12 projecting towards the inside of said frame 11.
  • a plate 13 is arranged so as to rest on the surround.
  • Support frame 11 and related surround 12 are advantageously made of anodised aluminium elements welded together.
  • plate 13 is made of high density polystyrene foam, preferably reinforced externally with resin and sand so that the outer surface of plate 13 is suitable for adhesion of the gluing agent of the external cover.
  • Plate 13 is glued to support frame 11 abutting on surround 12 by means, for example, of a film of silicone glue.
  • each vertical bracket 14 is subject to the action of a respective magnet (see below) which acts on this insofar as vertical bracket 14, as already indicated, is made of a ferromagnetic material (galvanised iron).
  • Panel 10 also comprises a covering layer 15 that, in the embodiment illustrated in figures 1, 2 , consists of a mosaic of very small square tiles (for example with a side of between 3 mm and 10 mm).
  • covering layer 15 may consist of other materials used singly or in combination with each other.
  • covering layer 15 may consist of ceramic tiles, marble tiles, resin elements, wood, etc.
  • lower side 11A of support frame 11 is provided with a plurality of holes (FR) (four in the case in question), each of which accommodates a respective push-fit internally threaded metal bushing (BF).
  • FR holes
  • BF internally threaded metal bushing
  • each threaded bushing (BF) is fitted in a respective housing (SD) present in the lower part of the polystyrene plate 13.
  • the foot (PD) comprises a hexagonal polyethylene head (TT) joined to a zinc-chromed threaded shank (GB).
  • the threaded shank (GB) is engaged by means of screwing with the internal threaded part of a respective bushing (BF).
  • top side 11B of support frame 11 is provided with a vertical bracket (SQD) that serves as an abutment when fitting panel 11 on a bathtub (not shown in figures 1, 2 ) (see below).
  • SQD vertical bracket
  • Figures 3 and 4 refer to a second embodiment in which the corners (ANG1), (ANG2), (ANG3), of frame 11, of the 13, and of covering layer 15 respectively, are rounded.
  • figure 4 shows a panel 10 fitted on the side of a bathtub 100 of which only one edge (BBD) is visible. An enlargement of certain details of panel 10 is also shown in figure 4 .
  • edge (BBD) In use, the lower portion of said edge (BBD) rests on the shoulder (SPL), while the vertical bracket (SQD) is pressed against the inner surface of said edge (BBD).
  • SPL shoulder
  • SQD vertical bracket
  • outer surface (SP1) of the covering layer 15 is perfectly flush with the outer surface (SP2) of edge (BBD), guaranteeing the necessary aesthetic continuity of edge (BBD)/panel 10 assembly.
  • panel 10 is maintained in an erect position by the combined action of a plurality of elastic means (MML) and of a plurality of magnets (MMT).
  • MML elastic means
  • MMT plurality of magnets
  • a suitably-shaped wrench (not shown) may be used, inserted by an installer on the hexagonal head (TT) of said feet (PD).
  • FIG. 5 A further embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in figure 5 , in which the corresponding elements are identified by the same numbers and codes as in figures 1-4 ; the covering layer is not present in this embodiment.
  • the main advantage of the covering panel for bathtubs according to the present invention consists in the fact that it is easy to install and possibly to replace, allowing the bathtub to be aesthetically integrated with the rest of the environment in which it is installed.
  • the panel according to the present invention allows the supporting structure of the bathtub and related plumbing devices to be re-used, changing only the side covering of the bathtub.
