Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure and securing arrangement for a bath and / or shower tray with an entry area, which can be closed watertight by means of a possibly up to standing height door which can be locked by means of a locking device, and with a drain siphon with a closure device which can only close in the locked state of the locking device.
  • Bathing and / or showering devices 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.
  • a bathtub with a splash guard in the form of a shower curtain or a glass shower screen showering while showering and bathing whereas a ground-level or almost ground-level entrance as in a shower tray is not possible because the high edge of the bathtub must be climbed over what represents an almost insurmountable obstacle especially for the handicapped and the elderly. Therefore, often with considerable space requirements and increased costs, both a shower and a bathtub installed.
  • a bathing and showering device with a trough-like substructure which corresponds approximately to the edge height of a bathtub in its edge height and has an approximately ground-level access area
  • the door by means of a door against a arranged on the base in the boarding area soft rubber seal door waterproof to the environment is closable.
  • the door has locking 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.
  • a bathtub-shower combination is known, with an entry area, which is sealed waterproof by means of a door, wherein the door is lockable by means of a locking device on the tub, and with a drain siphon.
  • the door is lockable by means of a locking device on the tub, and with a drain siphon.
  • the lock device for the door of a bathtub-shower combination provided with a locking state determining the first sensor.
  • the siphon is a controllable closure device added. Controlled by the sensor, the closure device can only be closed when the locking device is actually locked. If the door is prevented from being locked before the bath water is admitted, the incoming water can flow out via the siphon, which is forcibly kept open by the first sensor.
  • a bathtub is disclosed whose louver door is provided with a locking system.
  • An electronic control system with a water level sensor activates the locking system and keeps the door closed until the water level in the tub has dropped below a certain level.
  • the drain of the tub is provided with a controllable valve which can only be closed by the electronic control system when the lock state of the door is detected.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore a locking and securing device, which provides the highest possible security while avoiding as far as possible electrical or electronic components that bath water can not escape with open or unlocked door on the entry area of the tub and that at above the height of Entry area filled tub the door can be opened.
  • a device described above is inventively characterized in that a mechanical transmission arrangement connects a purely mechanically operating locking device with the closure device control technology.
  • a movable locking pin of the door has a movable element in a locking housing on the trough against the action of an elastic element from an initial position deflects, wherein the transmission arrangement is released only in this deflected position.
  • the locking device comprises an actuating element for the mechanical transmission arrangement, which is blocked when the movable element is not in the deflected position.
  • a further alternative feature of the invention is provided in that the movable element cooperates with a securing arrangement which blocks it from a water level corresponding to the edge height in the access region of the trough in the deflected position.
  • the transmission assembly is mechanically connected to a fuse element or provided therewith, which is in the closed position of the closure device in a position in which it blocks the pivoting back of the movable element in the initial position.
  • the actuating element is mechanically connected to the securing element or provided therewith.
  • the secure locking of the door is given by the fact that the movable element engages in its deflected position in the locking pin and thus holds in its locked state.
  • the second level of security is accomplished according to the present invention in that in the deflected position of the movable element, another securing element can be moved in the pivoting path of the element, thereby blocking the pivoting back of the element back to the initial position regardless of the other securing element, wherein an arrangement for Provision of the fuse element is provided depending on the water level.
  • this security level is realized so that the further securing element is mechanically connected to a float, which brings the securing element from one of the edge height in the entry area of the tub corresponding water level in the pivoting of the movable element.
  • an alternative embodiment for the second level of security can also be embodied in such a way that the securing element is connected to the actuating element or the transmission arrangement in such a way that, after being brought into the position blocking the pivoting back of the movable element back into the initial position, this position is independent of the others Movements of the actuating element or the transmission arrangement remains in this position, with an arrangement for resetting the securing element is provided in dependence on the water level.
  • a first and advantageously mechanical embodiment of the arrangement for restoring the securing elements comprises a float mechanically connected to these securing elements, which brings the respective securing element out of the pivoting path of the movable element when the water level falls below one of the edge heights in the entry region of the trough.
  • the arrangement for restoring the securing elements comprises an electromechanical device, which device is actuated via a water level sensor and brings the respective securing element out of the pivoting path of the movable element when the water level falls below one of the edge heights in the entry region of the tub.
  • FIG. 1 a side view of a bathtub provided with a shower door
  • Fig. 2a and 2b show a plan view of the locking device
  • Fig. 3a to 3c show a side view, partially in section, the locking device in different locking states.
  • 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.
  • a bathing area possibly with integrated seat, as well as a shower area and is advantageously as a coated, for example enamelled thermoformed 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 Injection molding produced.
  • the shower door 4 can be made of a clear, transparent material, such as mineral or plexiglass or acrylic glass. By the inwardly opening door 4, the bath and shower device 1 is particularly suitable for small bathrooms.
  • a sealing surface is arranged for this purpose in the access area 7 in the contact region 7 with the shower door 4, on which a seal encircling the lowered entry area 3, directed against the shower door 4, preferably made of silicone, is arranged.
  • a Handle 6 arranged on the shower door 4, which, as yet with reference to the FIGS. 3a to 3c is explained in more detail with a Verriegelungsvorraum_8 for the door 4 functionally connected.
  • the shower door 4 is in filled tub 2 under the water pressure, which contributes to the tightness, so that said locking device 8 only has to take over a preferably two-stage safety function. In other constructions, the shower door 4 with the hinges and the locking device 8 would have to be much more massive.
  • the bathtub 2 is provided at the lowest point of its bottom with a siphon 9, which has a closure device which can be closed only in the locked state of the locking device 8.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b and 3a to 3c A particularly advantageous embodiment of a locking device 8 is in the FIGS. 2a and 2b and 3a to 3c.
  • the locking device 8 has as an actuating element on a slide 10, the od with a mechanical transmission assembly 11, preferably in the form of a cable or wire train, possibly even as a gesture. Like. Running, the locking device 8 connects control technology with the closure device of the siphon 9. In this case, the slider 10 is directly coupled to the cable or any alternative mechanical transmission device without additional actuation arrangements such as electric motors od. Like. Necessary.
  • the shutter device held open for shower baths, here is the slide 10 in the in Fig. 2a shown position with a shower function symbolizing display 12 can be brought by actuation of the transfer assembly 11 by means of the slider 10 in the closed position. In this case, the slider 10 is in the in Fig.
  • a mechanical arrangement is provided, for example, according to the in the Fig. 3a to 3c illustrated embodiment may be executed.
  • a valve of the siphon 9 could be opened or closed directly via the mechanical transmission arrangement 11, but it would also be possible to activate or deactivate an electric motor which actuates the valve.
  • a locking pin 15 Connected to the door 4 is a locking pin 15 which is movable against a return spring 14 and which can either be raised with the handle 6 when closing the door 4 or slides up on an inclined surface 16 of a housing of the locking device 8.
  • a movable element in the form of a flap 17 is further provided, which can be pivoted against the action of another return spring 18.
  • the flap 17 In her in Fig. 3a illustrated, not deflected position, the flap 17 is in the displacement of the slider 10 or otherwise holds the mechanical transmission assembly 11 between the locking device 8 and locking device of the siphon 9 blocked.
  • the locking pin 15 is preferably pressed by the return spring 14 from above into an upwardly open opening 19 of the housing 8 of the locking device and thereby causes a in the Fig. 3b and 3c illustrated deflection of the flap 17 against the action of the return spring 18. Only in this deflected position, the transmission assembly 11 and the slide 10 are released, so that the closure device of the siphon 9 can be actuated. At the same time an edge of this flap 17 is pivoted into a recess of the locking pin 15 by the pivoting of the flap 17, which in the fully pivoted position of the flap 17, a withdrawal of the locking pin 15 from the opening 19 and thus prevents opening of the door 4 of the tub 2 ,
  • the mechanical transmission assembly 11 of the locking device 8 to the closure device of the siphon 9 is mechanically connected or provided with a fuse element designed as a bolt 20.
  • This bolt 20 is brought in the closed state of the closure device in a position in which it blocks the pivoting back of the flap 17 in its initial position.
  • the slider 10 is mechanically connected to the bolt 20 or is this bolt 20 - as in the Fig. 2a and 2b is indicated - mounted on the slide 10. So long as the closure device keeps the siphon 9 closed and the water in the tub can not drain, this bolt 20 holds the locking device 8 in the locked state and thus prevents the door 4 from opening when the water level in the tub 2 is high.
  • Another security level is provided to allow the door 4 to open only when the water level in the tub 2 has dropped to a level below the level of the lower edge of the boarding area 3.
  • the pivotable flap 17 cooperates with a securing arrangement which blocks it from a water level exceeding the edge height in the access area 3 in the deflected position.
  • a second pin 21 may be provided as a further securing element, which can also be moved in the pivoting path of the flap 17.
  • a bolt 20 which is in the manner described above with the mechanical transmission device 11 in conjunction, and which after spending in the pivoting back of the flap 17 back to the initial position blocking position regardless of the further movements of the slider 10 or the transfer assembly 11 remains in this position. Then, however, an arrangement for returning the bolt 20 when falling below one of the edge height in the access area 3 corresponding water level must be provided.
  • This arrangement could also include a float, which brings about a mechanical connection with the bolt 20 from the pivoting path of the flap 17.
  • An electromechanical device could also be provided for one or both bolts 20 and 21 in order to retract them from the pivoting path of the flap 17 via a water level sensor when they fall below a water level corresponding to the edge height in the access area 3 of the tub 2.
