Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a panel and particularly to a panel which requires attachment to another panel or surface at an angle.
  • the present invention provides an unhanded shower panel having an edge suitable for joining to a further panel to form a corner, in which the edge comprises a movable mitre member for adjusting the handedness of the panel.
  • a shower panel edge member comprising a movable mitre member for adjusting the mitre angle of the edge, and being attached or attachable to a shower panel.
  • the front face of the member may define the edge of the shower panel.
  • the front face may be arranged to form an edge-to-edge (butt) joint with a further panel.
  • the edge member may be formed so that it could be retrofitted to an existing panel.
  • the mitre member may be moveable between a number of fixed positions or may be infinitely adjustable between two end points. Whilst typically a corner will include two panels at right angles to each other, the present invention is not limited to mitre angles of 45 degrees and the principle of a moveable mitre member could be applied to position the edge at any angle for a required situation.
  • the member may be adjustable by rotation.
  • the mitre member may include a non-mitred position for situations where a linear connection to another panel or surface is required. This increases the flexibility of the panel.
  • the mitre member may comprise a magnet for connection to a corresponding magnet on another panel.
  • the mitre member may include means for determining the polarity of the magnet; in other words the mitre member may include a way of ensuring that the magnet is presented with the correct polarity.
  • the magnet and/or mitre member may be shaped so that the magnet con only be positioned in one orientation.
  • the magnet may be a flexible magnetic strip, for example formed from a rubberised material. Magnetic connection allows for a non-permanent connection.
  • a panel having an edge with a face suitable for joining to a further panel or a surface in a butt joint, in which the edge comprises a movable joint section for adjusting the angle of inclination of the edge.
  • the present invention also provides for a shower screen assembly comprising one or more panels and/or edge members as described herein.
  • a panel assembly generally indicated 10 comprising a first panel 12 which is fixed to a wall (not shown) and a second panel 14 which is hingedly connected to the panel 12.
  • the intention is for a further panel (not shown) to be connected to the edge 16 of the panel 14 opposite the panel 12.
  • the most common form of attachments to the edge 16 would ploce a further panel either in line with the panel 14 or in a left-or-right handed configuration at ninety degrees to the panel 14; however, panel connections at angles other than these are not beyond the scope of the present invention.
  • the panel assembly is provided as a shower screen arrangement.
  • the panel 14 comprises a moveable mitre member 18 the front face 20 of which defines the edge of the panel.
  • the mitre member 18 comprises a gently convexly curved front face 20 and a generally orch-shape rear section 22 with a sidewall 23a, 23b extending from the ends of the face and connected by a semi-circular, convex rear face 23c.
  • the member 18 is generally elongate and is received in a concave recess 24 formed in the panel 14.
  • the member 18 is rotatably secured into the panel 14.
  • the panel recess 24 is provided with three angularly spaced elongate grooves 26, 28, 30 and the rear face 23c is provided with a single elongate rib 32 positioned roughly in the centre.
  • Rotation of the member 18 is possible to position the rib 32 within any of the grooves 26, 28,30 to change the inclination of the front face 20.
  • the panel is provided with a fixed arcuate insert 34.
  • the insert 34 comprises a front face 35a which is parallel to the inside of the rear face 23c, and two inclined arms 35b, 35c.
  • the insert 34 is shaped to fit within the semi-circular rear face 23c and the member 18 can rotate around it.
  • the sides 23a, 23b include respective arms 36, 38 which project inwardly and are inclined upwardly towards the semi-circular rear face 23c.
  • the member 18 can be positioned with the rib 32 in the groove 28 as shown in figure 4 .
  • the front face 20 lies in a non-inclined state so that the panel 14 can be connected to a further panel 15a in a linear array.
  • the member 18 can be rotated so that the rib 32 is positioned in the groove 30 as shown in figure 6 to achieve a right-handed configuration with a panel 15c. Again, rotation beyond this point is prevented by abutment of the arcuate insert 35c, this time against the arm 38.
  • the front face 20 and the arms 36, 38 define a channel for receiving a magnet 50.
  • the arm 36 includes an extension leg 40 which depends from the end of the arm towards the front face 20: correspondingly the magnet includes a groove 52. This means that the magnet can only be inserted in the orientation shown and thus the polarity can be fixed to be compatible with the polarity of a corresponding magnet on an adjacent panel.
