Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschluss- und Sicherungsanordnung für eine Bade- und/oder Duschwanne mit einem Einstiegsbereich, der mittels einer sich allenfalls bis Stehhöhe erstreckenden Tür wasserdicht verschließbar ist, welche mittels einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung verriegelbar ist, und mit einem Ablaufsiphon mit einer Verschlussvorrichtung, welche sich nur im Verriegelungszustand der Verriegelungsvorrichtung schließen lässt wobei eine mechanische Übertragungsanordnung eine rein mechanisch arbeitende Verriegelungseinrichtung mit der Verschlussvorrichtung steuerungstechnisch verbindet.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 only in the locked state of the locking device can close while a mechanical transmission arrangement connects a purely mechanically operating locking device with the closure device control technology.

Bade- und/oder Duschvorrichtungen der üblichen Bauart mit einer einen niederen, ebenerdigen oder fast ebenerdigen Rand aufweisenden Duschwanne ermöglichen es wegen des zu geringen möglichen Wasserstandes nicht, in der Duschwanne sitzend ein vollwertiges Bad mit ins Wasser getauchten Schultern zu nehmen. Demgegenüber ermöglicht eine Badewanne mit einem Spritzschutz in Form eines Duschvorhangs oder einem aus Glasscheiben bestehenden Duschaufsatz zwar das Duschen und Baden, wohingegen ein ebenerdiger oder fast ebenerdiger Einstieg wie in eine Duschwanne hinein nicht möglich ist, da der hohe Rand der Badewanne überklettert werden muss, was insbesondere für Gehbehinderte und ältere Menschen ein fast unüberwindbares Hindernis darstellt. Daher wird oftmals mit erheblichem Platzbedarf und erhöhten Kosten sowohl eine Dusche als auch eine Badewanne installiert.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. In contrast, allows 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.

Aus der DE 299 14 087 U1 ist dagegen eine Bade- und Duschvorrichtung mit einem wannenartig ausgebildeten Unterbau bekannt, der in seiner Randhöhe etwa der Randhöhe einer Badewanne entspricht und der einen annähernd ebenerdigen Einstiegsbereich aufweist, der mittels einer gegen eine an dem Unterbau im Einstiegsbereich angeordnete Weichgummidichtung anschlagende Tür wasserdicht gegenüber der Umgebung verschließbar ist. Die Tür verfügt dabei über Verriegelungsmittel, welche es erlauben, die Tür ausreichend stark gegen die Weichgummidichtung zu pressen, so dass sie im geschlossenen Zustand so eng an dieser anliegt, dass kein Wasser aus dem Unterbau austreten kann. Durch die US 6 226 808 ist ferner eine Badewannen-Duschen-Kombination bekannt, mit einem Einstiegsbereich, der mittels einer Tür wasserdicht verschließbar ist, wobei die Tür mittels einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung an der Wanne verriegelbar ist, und mit einem Ablaufsiphon. Bei diesen Wannen kann es vorkommen, dass nach dem Schließen des Siphons beim Einlassen des Badewassers in die Badewanne vergessen wurde, die Tür zu verriegeln, sodass Badewasser aus der Wanne austreten kann.From the DE 299 14 087 U1 on the other hand, a bathing and showering device with a trough-like substructure is known, 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. By the US 6,226,808 Further, 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. With these tubs, it may happen that after closing the siphon when the bath water is let into the bathtub, it is forgotten to lock the door so that bath water can escape from the tub.

Um dies zu verhindern, ist gemäß der EP 1 806 083 A2 die Verriegelungsvorrichtung für die Tür einer Badewannen-Duschen-Kombination mit einem den Verriegelungszustand feststellenden ersten Sensor versehen. Dem Siphon ist eine steuerbare Verschlussvorrichtung beigegeben. Gesteuert durch den Sensor kann die Verschlussvorrichtung nur dann geschlossen werden, wenn die Verriegelungsvorrichtung tatsächlich verriegelt ist. Wird nun vor dem Einlassen des Badewassers das Verriegeln der Tür unterlassen, so kann das einlaufende Wasser über den Siphon abfließen, der zwangsweise durch den ersten Sensor offen gehalten wird. Auch in der US 5351345 A ist eine Badewanne geoffenbart, deren Jalousietür mit einem Verriegelungssystem versehen ist. Über ein elektronisches Steuersystem mit einem Wasserstandssensor kann das Verriegelungssystem aktiviert und die Tür geschlossen gehalten werden, bis der Wasserstand in der Wanne unter ein bestimmtes Niveau gefallen ist. Der Abfluss der Wanne wiederum ist mit einem steuerbaren Ventil versehen, das über das elektronische Steuersystem nur dann geschlossen werden kann, wenn der Verriegelungszustand der Tür festgestellt wird.To prevent this, according to the EP 1 806 083 A2 the lock device for the door of a bathtub-shower combination provided with a locking state determining the first sensor. The siphon is accompanied by a controllable closure device. 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. Also in the US 5351345 A 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, in turn, 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.

Der Einsatz von Elektronik in Nasszellen wie überhaupt der Einsatz von Strom im Badebereich ist jedoch nicht gewünscht, wobei auch die Störungsanfälligkeit von elektronischen Vorrichtungen in nasser Umgebung nachteilig ist. Dieser Nachteil fällt bei einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung auf hydraulischer Basis, wie beispielsweise in der JP 2531572 Y beschrieben, weg. Hier wird über einen Schwimmer und ein mechanisches Gestänge bei steigendem Wasserstand eine Badewannentür verriegelt, jedoch sind keinerlei Maßnahmen getroffen, die das Einströmen von Wasser bei offener Badewannentür verhindern oder zumindest dessen sofortiges Abfließen bewirken.However, the use of electronics in wet cells such as the use of electricity in the bathing area is not desired, whereby the susceptibility to interference of electronic devices in a wet environment is disadvantageous. This disadvantage falls in a locking device on a hydraulic basis, such as in the JP 2531572 Y described, gone. Here, a bathtub door is locked by a float and a mechanical linkage with increasing water level, however, no measures are taken to prevent the influx of water with open bathtub door or at least cause its immediate drainage.

Die US 2,570,053 zeigt eine Badewanne ,nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, mit einem Einstiegsbereich welche mittels einer Türe geschlossen werden kann. Der Abfluss ist mit einem Verschlussmechanismus verbunden und kann nur geschlossen werden wenn auch die Türe des Einstiegsbereichs verschlossen ist. Dazu muss ein entsprechender Verschlusshebel aktiv in eine Verschluss Position gedrückt werden.The US 2,570,053 shows a bathtub, according to the preamble of claim 1, with an entry area which can be closed by means of a door. The drain is connected to a locking mechanism and can only be closed when the door of the entry area is closed. For this purpose, a corresponding locking lever must be actively pressed into a closure position.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war daher eine Verschluss- und Sicherungsvorrichtung, welche unter möglichst weitgehender Vermeidung von elektrischen oder elektronischen Bauteilen die höchstmögliche Sicherheit bietet, dass Badewasser nicht bei geöffneter oder unverriegelter Tür über den Einstiegsbereich der Wanne austreten kann, dass bei über der Höhe des Einstiegsbereiches befüllter Wanne die Tür geöffnet werden kann und dass ein bedienfreundliches Schließen bzw. Verriegeln der Tür gewährleistet wird.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 that at above the height of the Entry area filled tub the door can be opened and that a user-friendly closing or locking the door is guaranteed.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine eingangs beschriebene Vorrichtung erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass beim Schließen der Tür ein bewegbarer Verriegelungszapfen an einer schrägen Fläche eines Gehäuses der Verriegelungseinrichtung hochgleitet und durch eine Rückstellfeder in eine Öffnung des Gehäuses der Verriegelungseinrichtung gedrückt wird. Damit kann jegliche gewünschte Funktionalität von gegenseitiger Beeinflussung von Türverriegelung und Abflusssteuerung auf mechanische Weise, ohne elektrische oder elektronische Steuer- bzw. Betätigungseinrichtungen, und damit sicher für den Benutzer und auch funktionssicher bewerkstelligt werden.To achieve this object, a device described above is inventively characterized in that when closing the door, a movable locking pin slides up on an inclined surface of a housing of the locking device and is pressed by a return spring in an opening of the housing of the locking device. Thus, any desired functionality of mutual interference of door lock and drain control in a mechanical manner, without electrical or electronic control or actuation devices, and thus safely be accomplished for the user and also functionally reliable.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass ein bewegbarer Verriegelungszapfen der Tür ein bewegbares Element in einem Verriegelungsgehäuse an der Wanne gegen die Wirkung eines elastischen Elementes aus einer Anfangs stellung hinaus auslenkt, wobei nur in dieser ausgelenkten Stellung die Übertragungsanordnung freigegeben ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that a movable locking pin of the door a movable element in a lock housing on the tub against the action of an elastic element from an initial deflected out position, wherein only in this deflected position, the transmission arrangement is released.

Vorteilhafterweise weist die Verriegelungseinrichtung ein Betätigungselement für die mechanische Übertragungsanordnung auf, das blockiert ist, wenn sich das bewegbare Element nicht in ausgelenkter Stellung befindet.Advantageously, 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.

Ein weiteres alternatives Merkmal der Erfindung ist dadurch gegeben, dass das bewegbare Element mit einer Sicherungsanordnung zusammenwirkt, welche es ab einem der Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich der Wanne entsprechenden Wasserniveau in der ausgelenkten Stellung blockiert.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.

Dabei kann als vorteilhafte Variante vorgesehen sein, dass die Übertragungsanordnung mit einem Sicherungselement mechanisch verbunden oder damit versehen ist, welches in der geschlossenen Stellung der Verschlussvorrichtung in einer Position ist, in welcher es das Rückschwenken des bewegbaren Elementes in die Anfangsstellung blockiert.It can be provided as an advantageous variant that 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.

Weiters ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Betätigungselement mechanisch mit dem Sicherungselement verbunden oder damit versehen ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the actuating element is mechanically connected to the securing element or provided therewith.

Vorzugsweise ist die sichere Verriegelung der Tür dadurch gegeben, dass das bewegbare Element in seiner ausgelenkten Stellung in den Verriegelungszapfen eingreift und damit in seinem Verriegelungszustand hält.Preferably, 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.

Die zweite Sicherheitsstufe wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dadurch bewerkstelligt, dass in der ausgelenkten Stellung des bewegbaren Elementes ein weiteres Sicherungselement in den Schwenkweg des Elementes bewegt werden kann und dabei das Rückschwenken des Elementes zurück in die Anfangsstellung unabhängig vom anderen Sicherungselement blockiert, wobei eine Anordnung zur Rückstellung des Sicherungselementes in Abhängigkeit vom Wasserniveau vorgesehen ist.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.

In mechanischer Ausführung ist diese Sicherheitsstufe so verwirklicht, dass das weitere Sicherungselement mit einem Schwimmer mechanisch verbunden ist, welcher das Sicherungselement ab einem der Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich der Wanne entsprechenden Wasserniveau in den Schwenkweg des bewegbaren Elementes bringt.In mechanical design, 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.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform für die zweite Sicherheitsstufe kann aber auch in der Weise ausgeführt sein, dass das Sicherungselement mit dem Betätigungselement oder der Übertragungsanordnung derart verbunden ist, dass es nach Verbringen in die das Rückschwenken des bewegbaren Elementes zurück in die Anfangsstellung blockierende Stellung unabhängig von den weiteren Bewegungen des Betätigungselements oder der Übertragungsanordnung in dieser Stellung verbleibt, wobei eine Anordnung zur Rückstellung des Sicherungselementes in Abhängigkeit vom Wasserniveau vorgesehen ist.However, 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.

Eine erste und vorteilhafterweise mechanische Ausführungsform für die Anordnung zur Rückstellung der Sicherungselemente umfasst einen mit diesen Sicherungselementen mechanisch verbundenen Schwimmer, welcher das jeweilige Sicherungselement ab Unterschreiten eines der Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich der Wanne entsprechenden Wasserniveaus aus dem Schwenkweg des bewegbaren Elementes bringt.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 the edge height in the entry region of the trough.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawings and will be explained in more detail below.

Selbstverständlich könnte aber auch eine Wanne 2 vorgesehen sein, bei der die Tür 4 nicht über den Rand 5 hinausgeht. Sie weist einen Badebereich, allenfalls mit integrierter Sitzfläche, sowie einen Duschbereich auf und ist vorteilhafterweise als beschichtetes, beispielsweise emailliertes Tiefziehteil aus einem metallischen Werkstoff oder als eine formgespritzte oder tiefgezogene Acrylwanne, oder als ein GFK, CFK oder aus einem anderen faserverstärkten Kunststoff im Handauflegeverfahren oder Spritzverfahren hergestellt.An in 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. Of course, but could also be provided a tub 2, in which the door 4 does not go beyond the edge 5. It has 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.

Die Duschtür 4 kann dabei aus einem klaren, transparenten Werkstoff, beispielsweise Mineralglas oder Plexiglas oder Acrylglas hergestellt sein. Durch die nach innen öffnende Tür 4 ist die Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 besonders für Kleinbäder geeignet. An der Wanne 2 ist hierfür im Einstiegsbereich 3 im Kontaktbereich 7 mit der Duschtür 4 eine Dichtfläche angeordnet, auf der eine um den abgesenkten Einstiegsbereich 3 umlaufende, gegen die Duschtür 4 gerichtete Dichtung, vorzugsweise aus Silikon, angeordnet ist. Zum Öffnen ist ein Griff 6 an der Duschtür 4 angeordnet, der, wie noch anhand der Figuren 3a bis 3c näher erläutert wird, mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 für die Tür 4 funktionell in Verbindung steht. Die Duschtür 4 steht bei gefüllter Wanne 2 unter dem Wasserdruck, der zur Dichtheit beiträgt, so dass die genannte Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 nur mehr eine vorzugsweise zweistufige Sicherheitsfunktion übernehmen muss. Bei anderen Konstruktionen müsste die Duschtür 4 mit den Scharnieren und der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 wesentlich massiver gestaltet werden.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. On the trough 2, 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. To open is 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 locking device 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.

Die Badewanne 2 ist am tiefsten Punkt ihres Bodens mit einem Siphon 9 versehen, der eine Verschlussvorrichtung aufweist, welche sich nur im Verriegelungszustand der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 schließen lässt.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.

Ein besonders vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 ist in den Figuren 2a und 2b sowie 3a bis 3c dargestellt.A particularly advantageous embodiment of a locking device 8 is in the FIGS. 2a and 2b and 3a to 3c.

Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 weist als ein Betätigungselement einen Schieber 10 auf, der mit einer mechanischen Übertragungsanordnung 11, vorzugsweise in Form eines Seil- oder Drahtzuges, allenfalls auch als Gestände od. dgl. ausgeführt, die Verriegelungseinrichtung 8 mit der Verschlussvorrichtung des Siphons 9 steuerungstechnisch verbindet. Dabei ist der Schieber 10 direkt mit dem Seilzug oder jeder alternativen mechanischen Übertragungseinrichtung gekoppelt, ohne dass zusätzliche Betätigungsanordnungen wie Elektromotoren od. dgl. Notwendig sind. Die für Duschbäder offen gehaltene Verschlussvorrichtung, hier befindet sich der Schieber 10 in der in Fig. 2a gezeigten Stellung mit einer die Duschfunktion symbolisierenden Anzeige 12, kann durch Betätigung der Übertragungsanordnung 11 mittels des Schiebers 10 in die Schließstellung gebracht werden. Dabei befindet sich der Schieber 10 in der in Fig. 2b gezeigten Stellung, in welcher ein Anzeige 13 für Wannenbäder sichtbar ist. Die Übertragungsanordnung 11 und/oder der Schieber 10 können aber nur in die die Verschlussvorrichtung des Siphons 9 schließende Stellung gebracht werden, wenn die Tür 4 sicher geschlossen und verriegelt ist. Dazu ist eine mechanische Anordnung vorgesehen, die beispielsweise gemäß dem in den Fig. 3a bis 3c dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ausgeführt sein kann. Über die mechanische Übertragungsanordnung 11 könnte beispielsweise unmittelbar ein Ventil des Siphons 9 geöffnet oder geschlossen werden, es könnte aber auch ein Elektromotor aktiviert bzw. deaktiviert werden, der das Ventil betätigt.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. 2b shown position in which a display 13 is visible for tub baths. However, the transfer assembly 11 and / or the slider 10 can only be brought into the closure device of the siphon 9 closing position when the door 4 is securely closed and locked. For this purpose, a mechanical arrangement is provided, for example, according to the in the Fig. 3a to 3c illustrated embodiment may be executed. For example, 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.

Mit der Tür 4 verbunden ist ein gegen eine Rückstellfeder 14 bewegbarer Verriegelungszapfen 15, der beim Schließen der Tür 4 entweder mit dem Griff 6 angehoben werden kann oder an einer schrägen Fläche 16 eines Gehäuses der Verriegelungseinrichtung 8 hochgleitet. Im Gehäuse ist weiters ein bewegbares Element in Form einer Klappe 17 vorgesehen, welche gegen die Wirkung einer weiteren Rückstellfeder 18 verschwenkt werden kann. In ihrer in Fig. 3a dargestellten, nicht ausgelenkten Position befindet sich die Klappe 17 im Verschiebeweg des Schiebers 10 oder hält auf andere Weise die mechanische Übertragungsanordnung 11 zwischen Verriegelungseinrichtung 8 und Verschlussvorrichtung des Siphons 9 blockiert.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. In the housing, 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. 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.

In Schließstellung der Tür 4 wird der Verriegelungszapfen 15 durch die Rückstellfeder 14 vorzugsweise von oben in eine nach oben offene Öffnung 19 des Gehäuses der Verriegelungseinrichtung 8 gedrückt und bewirkt dadurch eine in den Fig. 3b und 3c dargestellte Auslenkung der Klappe 17 gegen die Wirkung von deren Rückstellfeder 18. Nur in dieser ausgelenkten Stellung sind die Übertragungsanordnung 11 bzw. der Schieber 10 freigegeben, so dass die Verschlussvorrichtung des Siphons 9 betätigt werden kann. Gleichzeitig wird durch das Verschwenken der Klappe 17 eine Kante dieser Klappe 17 in eine Ausnehmung des Verriegelungszapfens 15 geschwenkt, welche in der vollständig verschwenkten Stellung der Klappe 17 ein Herausziehen des Verriegelungszapfens 15 aus der Öffnung 19 und damit eine Öffnen der Tür 4 der Wanne 2 verhindert.In the closed position of the door 4, 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 ,

Die mechanische Übertragungsanordnung 11 von der Verriegelungseinrichtung 8 zur Verschlussvorrichtung des Siphons 9 ist mit einem als Bolzen 20 ausgebildeten Sicherungselement mechanisch verbunden oder versehen. Dieser Bolzen 20 wird bei geschlossenem Zustand der Verschlussvorrichtung in eine Position gebracht, in welcher er das Rückschwenken der Klappe 17 in deren Anfangsstellung blockiert. Vorzugsweise ist der Schieber 10 mechanisch mit dem Bolzen 20 verbunden bzw. ist dieser Bolzen 20 - wie in den Fig. 2a und 2b angedeutet ist - am Schieber 10 montiert. Solange also die Verschlussvorrichtung den Siphon 9 geschlossen hält und das in der Wanne befindliche Wasser nicht abfließen kann, hält dieser Bolzen 20 die Verriegelungseinrichtung 8 in verriegeltem Zustand und verhindert somit ein Öffnen der Tür 4 bei hohem Wasserstand in der Wanne 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. Preferably, 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.

Eine weitere Sicherheitsstufe ist vorgesehen, um das Öffnen der Tür 4 erst dann zu ermöglichen, wenn der Wasserstand in der Wanne 2 auf ein Niveau gefallen ist, das unter der Höhe der Unterkante des Einstiegsbereiches 3 liegt. Dazu wirkt die verschwenkbare Klappe 17 mit einer Sicherungsanordnung zusammen, welche es ab einem die Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich 3 überschreitenden Wasserniveau in der ausgelenkten Stellung blockiert. Dazu kann beispielsweise ein zweiter Bolzen 21 als weiteres Sicherungselement vorgesehen sein, das ebenfalls in den Schwenkweg der Klappe 17 bewegt werden kann. Dies kann auf mechanische Art und Weise vorgenommen werden, ebenso wie dadurch, dass der zweite Bolzen 21 mit einem Schwimmer (nicht dargestellt) mechanisch verbunden ist, welcher durch das Wasser in der Wanne 2 gehoben bzw. abgesenkt wird und auf diese Weise den Bolzen 21 ab einem der Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich 3 der Wanne 2 entsprechenden Wasserniveau in den Schwenkweg der Klappe 17 bringt. Auch ein auf den Wasserdruck des in der Wanne 2 befindlichen Wassers reagierendes Sensorelement könnte über eine mechanische Verbindung mit der Sicherungsanordnung gekoppelt sein, um bei steigendem Wasserstand und damit Wasserdruck die Verriegelung aufrecht zu erhalten und bei unter einem vordefinierten Niveau gefallenem Wasserstand und Wasserdruck die Verriegelung aufzuheben.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. For this purpose, 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. For this purpose, for example, 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. This can be done in a mechanical manner, as well as in that the second pin 21 is mechanically connected to a float (not shown) passing through the water in the tub 2 is raised or lowered and in this way brings the bolt 21 from one of the edge height in the entry area 3 of the tub 2 corresponding water level in the pivoting path of the flap 17. Also, a responsive to the water pressure of the water located in the tub 2 sensor element could be coupled via a mechanical connection with the fuse assembly to maintain the lock with increasing water level and thus water pressure and cancel the lock at below a predefined level fallen water level and water pressure ,

Alternativ dazu könnte auch allein ein Bolzen 20 vorgesehen sein, der in der oben erläuterten Weise mit der mechanischen Übertragungseinrichtung 11 in Verbindung steht, und welcher nach Verbringen in die das Rückschwenken der Klappe 17 zurück in die Anfangsstellung blockierende Stellung unabhängig von den weiteren Bewegungen des Schiebers 10 oder der Übertragungsanordnung 11 in dieser Stellung verbleibt. Dann muss aber eine Anordnung zur Rückstellung des Bolzens 20 bei Unterschreiten eines der Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich 3 entsprechenden Wasserniveaus vorgesehen sein. Diese Anordnung könnte auch einen Schwimmer aufweisen, der über eine mechanische Verbindung mit dem Bolzen 20 diesen aus dem Schwenkweg der Klappe 17 bringt. Auch eine elektromechanische Einrichtung könnte für einen oder beide Bolzen 20 bzw. 21 vorgesehen sein, um diese angesteuert über einen Wasserstandssensor ab Unterschreiten eines der Randhöhe im Einstiegsbereich 3 der Wanne 2 entsprechenden Wasserniveaus aus dem Schwenkweg der Klappe 17 zurückzuziehen bringt.Alternatively, it could also be provided alone 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.

Damit kann mit vermindertem Einsatz von elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Vorrichtungen, wenn gewünscht auch auf gänzlich mechanisch/hydraulischer Weise, eine zweistufige Verriegelungs- und Sicherheitsanordnung realisiert werden, durch welche der Siphon 9 erst dann geschlossen werden kann, wenn der Verriegelungszapfen 15 der Tür 4 in das Verriegelungsgehäuse richtig eingerastet ist und die Klappe 17 verschwenkt hat. Zusätzlich wird sichergestellt, dass die Tür 4 erst wieder geöffnet werden kann, wenn das Wasser in der Wanne 2 unter den bestimmten Wasserstand gesunken ist.This can be realized with reduced use of electrical and / or electronic devices, if desired, also in a completely mechanical / hydraulic manner, a two-stage locking and safety arrangement by which the siphon 9 can only be closed when the locking pin 15 of the door 4th is properly locked in the lock housing and the flap 17 has pivoted. In addition, it is ensured that the door 4 can not be opened again until the water in the tub 2 has fallen below the certain water level.
