Definitions
- the invention relates to a sanitary tub, ie a shower or bath tub, with a tub body, arranged in a recess of the tub body drain opening, connected to the drain opening waste set and over the drain fitting arranged lid having a shape adapted to the recess and on its underside has portions which form spacer elements and / or positive-locking elements.
- the cover forms the cover of the drain visible to a user and, due to the shape adapted to the recess, can be inserted into the recess so that the cover preferably protrudes only slightly from the region of the tub bottom adjoining the recess.
- the cover is as the top cover of the drain flush with the adjacent to the recess region of the tub body.
- the tub body is preferably made of steel enamel, ie enameled sheet.
- the process is optimally integrated into the tub body. Of the entire process, only a necessary for the drainage gap is visible. Otherwise, a continuous area can be provided. The process is not perceived as disturbing by a user when it is in a shower tray on the lid or sits or lies on a bathtub on the lid.
- a generic sanitary tub is characterized by a very aesthetic, appealing appearance.
- the present invention is particularly concerned with sanitary baths made of steel enamel, which hygienically and dirt-repellent in a particularly advantageous manner are and are particularly easy to clean. Finally, the high-quality appearance of steel enamel is maintained in the long term, and even under the influence of chemical substances and heat no color or surface changes occur. In order not to affect the durability and the visually high-quality impression of the entire sanitary tub, also the drain opening with the drain fitting cover must be made of high quality material. It should be noted that relatively fine contours and correspondingly small radii and narrow bends are provided in the region of the sequence compared to the tub body.
- the design of the lid not only depends on the optical properties such as color and gloss.
- the haptic impression that results for a user is decisive. For example, when a user is standing, sitting or lying on the lid, he may immediately feel the texture and texture of the surface.
- the lid is about as smooth as the adjacent portion of the tub body, so that the user can not find any significant differences.
- a sanitary tub having the features described above, wherein above the drain opening a dimensionally stable carrier and a carrier firmly connected to the thin-walled cap of enameled sheet metal are arranged, wherein the cap forms the visible in the recess top. Since the carrier substantially absorbs the weight forces acting in use and transmits them to the underlying recess or waste fitting, the cap can be formed of a comparatively thin material. A deformation of the cap is correspondingly easier, whereby relatively small radii and structures can be realized. Since the thin-walled cap is enamelled, results in respect of the adjacent floor of the sanitary tub a matching look and feel. The described embodiment has proven itself in practice and is characterized by a high-quality appearance.
- a drain plug for a sanitary object which consists of a valve cone and a cap connected thereto via a plate.
- the valve cone movably guided in a drain can be made of plastic or metal.
- an element formed from two different parts is provided.
- the invention has for its object to provide a sanitary tub with a lid in a recess of the tub body, wherein the lid has an increased resistance and a structurally simple design.
- the lid consists of a ceramic material or glass.
- the lid of ceramic material or glass has a smooth, very high quality surface. Even if the tub body according to a preferred embodiment made of steel enamel, despite the per se significantly different material properties and composition with the lid of ceramic material or glass, both the appearance and the feel of the tub body are modeled. From a user, no significant differences are found, so that the impression of a continuous, uniform bottom results with the integrated lid, leaving only a necessary for the water flow gap between the lid and the recess.
- the cover usually made of a raw material can be largely freely formed.
- the preparation can be done for example by casting (especially in glass) or else pressing and subsequent firing (especially in ceramics).
- the lid preferably has a substantially flat central surface on its upper side, the geometry of the rim and the shape of the lid on the underside can be chosen largely freely.
- formations will be provided on the underside of the cover, which form spacer elements in the form of ribs, grooves or the like, or else positive-locking elements for connection to the waste set arranged underneath.
- a solid, one-piece and dimensionally stable lid made of ceramic material or glass is formed.
- an additional carrier is dispensed with.
- the cover is then apart from an optionally provided intermediate layer directly with its underside on the recess and / or the drain fitting.
- a carrier usually formed of plastic would also be extreme in terms of the long service life of enameled sanitary tubs permanently a potential vulnerability.
- a plastic which is not subject to appreciable aging due, for example, to the outgassing of additives in the polymer matrix or destruction of the polymer chains.
- a plastic must be selected that is permanently resistant to interference from aggressive cleaning agents or the like.
- the design of the lid made of a ceramic material or glass allows a largely free shaping. While the base area covered by the lid is essentially dictated by the shape of the recess and the desired gap between the recess and the lid, the height of the lid, the curvature of the lid and the curvature at the edge of the lid can be chosen substantially freely. Especially in a preferred flush integration into the trough floor, in which the lid is inserted with a circumferential gap for the water outlet so in the recess that it is flush with the area surrounding the recess of the tub body, the lid is up to its edge substantially just. Included are also embodiments that have a slight curvature or sloping slope to the edge to allow complete drainage of the water. A slight curvature or slope is not perceived by a user or only barely perceived and accordingly not bothersome.
- the gap area can be viewed to a certain extent and thus to a considerable extent characterizes the appearance of the pan.
- shower and can Bathtubs with a flush-mounted lid be formed very puristically with little design elements, whereby the geometry of the lid and in particular the edge geometry of the lid come to the fore or at least contribute significantly to the overall appearance of the sanitary tub.
- the design is limited by the formability of the sheet in an enameled sheet metal cover, in a configuration of ceramic material or glass, a varied variation can be made.
- a ceramic material is sintered, especially porcelain stoneware or porcelain suitable.
- modified technical ceramic materials are also currently known which have increased resistance and breakage resistance. Such materials are particularly suitable for the formation of the lid according to the invention.
- a glaze may be provided, which expediently extends at least on the upper side and preferably on the entire surface of the lid.
- the tub body and the lid in the same color.
- the lid which is usually located near an edge of a tub body or centrally, be highlighted in color, just to set visual accents in a simple and clear designed sanitary tub.
- the color of the lid for example, by selecting an appropriate glaze be set.
- the ceramic material or glass of the lid is colored with color pigments. Even with a ceramic material, the color impression remains unchanged even in the case of abrasion or chipping off of the glaze.
- the glazings are often transparent or at least translucent, so that even with a glazed lid the underlying ceramic material remains visible.
- the ceramic material may also be considered to dispense with an additional glaze.
- the transparency or even slight haze can be used as a design element.
- the color or haze can be adjusted by pigments or other dyes, whereby a completely opaque configuration is possible.
- the lid adapted to the depression is either haptically and visually integrated into the trough bottom in the context of the invention or represents a conscious design element in the case of a different coloring, this is not perceived as disturbing even with a considerable size. Furthermore, especially with flat shower trays, it must be ensured that enough water can flow out through the gap between cover and recess to prevent overflowing. Against this background, it is generally expedient to design the lid relatively large, wherein the lid, for example, an area of more than 60 cm 2 , in particular more than 100 cm 2 , cover.
- the Fig. 1 shows by way of example a flat shower tray with a tub body 1, which has a drain opening 3 in a recess 2 with a discharge fitting 3 connected to the drain opening 3 at the bottom.
- the drain opening 3 with the drain fitting 4 is covered by an overlying lid 5, which consists according to the invention of a ceramic material or glass.
- the lid 5 is adapted to the shape of the recess 2 and arranged flush with the area adjacent to the recess 2 portion of the tub body 1, wherein between the lid 5 and the tub body 1 in the recess 2, a gap 6 for the water outlet remains.
- the lid 5 is formed as a one-piece, dimensionally stable body.
- a ceramic raw material in particular sintered products in the form of porcelain stoneware or porcelain and fired.
- firing which can be done in several steps, it is also possible to apply a glaze to give the lid 5 a closed, smooth and usually shiny surface.
- the color of the lid 5 can be adjusted by the selected ceramic material or glass, color pigments and the color of the glaze.
- FIG. 3 and Fig. 4 A comparative consideration of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 It can be seen that the cover 5 has on its underside different sections, the spacer elements 7 in the form of ribs and a ring form a positive locking element 8.
- the peripheral edge 9 of the lid can be formed based on optical specifications. It should be noted that the gap 6 can be viewed to some extent.
- the geometry of the edge 9 also determines the visual appearance. In particular, can be changed by a variation of the radii on the edge 9 and the height of the edge 9 of the visual impression. With regard to the design of the cover 5 made of a ceramic material or glass, this results in very far-reaching design options that are not or at least not readily feasible by means of sheet metal forming.
- Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 show an example of a round cover 5.
- Other shapes, in particular rectangular configurations are possible. Again, there is the advantage that there are almost no restrictions in the casting or pressing and optionally reworking the shape of the lid 5.
- exemplary embodiment shows a shower tray as an example, the described embodiment can also be used in the same way in bathtubs.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sanitärwanne, also eine Dusch- oder Badewanne, mit einem Wannenkörper, einer in einer Vertiefung des Wannenkörpers angeordneten Ablauföffnung, einer an die Ablauföffnung angeschlossenen Ablaufgarnitur und einen über der Ablaufgarnitur angeordneten Deckel, der eine an die Vertiefung angepasste Form aufweist und an seiner Unterseite Abschnitte aufweist, die Abstandselemente und/oder Formschlusselemente bilden. Der Deckel bildet die für einen Benutzer sichtbare Abdeckung des Ablaufes und kann aufgrund der in die Vertiefung angepassten Form in die Vertiefung hineingesetzt werden, so dass der Deckel vorzugsweise nur geringfügig von dem an die Vertiefung anschließenden Bereich des Wannenbodens hervorsteht. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Deckel als oberste Abdeckung des Ablaufes flächenbündig zu dem an die Vertiefung angrenzenden Bereich des Wannenkörpers. Der Wannenkörper ist bevorzugt aus Stahl-Email, also emailliertem Blech, gebildet.The invention relates to a sanitary tub, ie a shower or bath tub, with a tub body, arranged in a recess of the tub body drain opening, connected to the drain opening waste set and over the drain fitting arranged lid having a shape adapted to the recess and on its underside has portions which form spacer elements and / or positive-locking elements. The cover forms the cover of the drain visible to a user and, due to the shape adapted to the recess, can be inserted into the recess so that the cover preferably protrudes only slightly from the region of the tub bottom adjoining the recess. Particularly preferably, the cover is as the top cover of the drain flush with the adjacent to the recess region of the tub body. The tub body is preferably made of steel enamel, ie enameled sheet.
Dadurch, dass der Deckel in die Vertiefung eingesetzt und vorzugsweise flächenbündig mit dem angrenzenden Bereich des Wannenbodens ist, ist der Ablauf optimal in den Wannenkörper integriert. Von dem gesamten Ablauf ist lediglich ein für den Wasserabfluss notwendiger Spalt sichtbar. Ansonsten kann eine durchgehende Fläche bereitgestellt werden. Der Ablauf wird so von einem Benutzer auch nicht als störend empfunden, wenn dieser bei einer Duschwanne auf dem Deckel steht oder bei einer Badewanne auf dem Deckel sitzt oder liegt. Eine gattungsgemäße Sanitärwanne zeichnet sich durch ein sehr ästhetisches, ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild aus.Characterized in that the lid is inserted into the recess and preferably flush with the adjacent area of the tub bottom, the process is optimally integrated into the tub body. Of the entire process, only a necessary for the drainage gap is visible. Otherwise, a continuous area can be provided. The process is not perceived as disturbing by a user when it is in a shower tray on the lid or sits or lies on a bathtub on the lid. A generic sanitary tub is characterized by a very aesthetic, appealing appearance.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich insbesondere mit Sanitärwannen aus Stahl-Email, welche auf besonders vorteilhafte Weise hygienisch und schmutzabweisend sind und auch besonders leicht gereinigt werden können. Schließlich bleibt das hochwertige Erscheinungsbild von Stahl-Email langfristig erhalten, wobei auch unter Einwirkung chemischer Substanzen und Hitze keine Farb- oder Oberflächenveränderungen auftreten. Um die Haltbarkeit und den optisch hochwertigen Eindruck der gesamten Sanitärwanne nicht zu beeinträchtigen, muss auch der die Ablauföffnung mit der Ablaufgarnitur abdeckende Deckel aus besonders hochwertigem Material sein. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass im Vergleich zu dem Wannenkörper gerade im Bereich des Ablaufes relativ feine Konturen und entsprechend kleine Radien und enge Abwinklungen vorgesehen sind.The present invention is particularly concerned with sanitary baths made of steel enamel, which hygienically and dirt-repellent in a particularly advantageous manner are and are particularly easy to clean. Finally, the high-quality appearance of steel enamel is maintained in the long term, and even under the influence of chemical substances and heat no color or surface changes occur. In order not to affect the durability and the visually high-quality impression of the entire sanitary tub, also the drain opening with the drain fitting cover must be made of high quality material. It should be noted that relatively fine contours and correspondingly small radii and narrow bends are provided in the region of the sequence compared to the tub body.
Zu berücksichtigen ist des Weiteren, dass es bei der Ausgestaltung des Deckels nicht nur auf die optischen Eigenschaften wie Farbe und Glanz ankommt. Zusätzlich ist auch der haptische Eindruck ausschlaggebend, der sich für einen Benutzer ergibt. Wenn beispielsweise ein Benutzer auf dem Deckel steht, sitzt oder liegt, kann dieser unmittelbar die Struktur und Beschaffenheit der Oberfläche fühlen. Idealerweise ist der Deckel in etwa genauso glatt wie der angrenzende Bereich des Wannenkörpers, damit der Benutzer keine wesentlichen Unterschiede feststellen kann.It should also be noted that the design of the lid not only depends on the optical properties such as color and gloss. In addition, the haptic impression that results for a user is decisive. For example, when a user is standing, sitting or lying on the lid, he may immediately feel the texture and texture of the surface. Ideally, the lid is about as smooth as the adjacent portion of the tub body, so that the user can not find any significant differences.
Um entsprechend hohen Qualitätsanforderungen gerecht zu werden, ist aus der
Für bestimmte Anwendungsfälle ergibt sich aber der Nachteil, dass gerade bei Kleinserien die Herstellung von dünnwandigen Kappen einerseits und Trägern andererseits aufwendig ist. Wie zuvor erläutert, bleibt auch die Gestaltungsfreiheit aufgrund der notwendigen Blechumformung begrenzt.For certain applications, however, there is the disadvantage that the production of thin-walled caps on the one hand and carriers on the other hand is expensive, especially for small batches. As explained above, the freedom of design remains limited due to the necessary sheet metal forming.
Aus der
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sanitärwanne mit einem Deckel in einer Vertiefung des Wannenkörpers anzugeben, bei welcher der Deckel eine erhöhte Widerstandsfähigkeit sowie eine konstruktiv einfache Ausgestaltung aufweist.Against this background, the invention has for its object to provide a sanitary tub with a lid in a recess of the tub body, wherein the lid has an increased resistance and a structurally simple design.
Ausgehend von einer Sanitärwanne mit den eingangs beschriebenen Merkmalen wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Deckel aus einem keramischen Material oder Glas besteht. Der Deckel aus keramischem Material oder Glas weist eine glatte, sehr hochwertige Oberfläche auf. Auch wenn der Wannenkörper gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung aus Stahl-Email besteht, kann trotz der an sich deutlich unterschiedlichen Materialbeschaffenheit und -zusammensetzung mit dem Deckel aus keramischem Material bzw. Glas sowohl das Aussehen als auch die Haptik des Wannenkörpers nachgebildet werden. Von einem Benutzer werden keine wesentlichen Unterschiede festgestellt, so dass sich der Eindruck eines durchgehenden, einheitlichen Bodens mit dem darin integrierten Deckel ergibt, wobei lediglich ein für den Wasserablauf notwendiger Spalt zwischen dem Deckel und der Vertiefung verbleibt.Starting from a sanitary tub with the features described above, the object is achieved in that the lid consists of a ceramic material or glass. The lid of ceramic material or glass has a smooth, very high quality surface. Even if the tub body according to a preferred embodiment made of steel enamel, despite the per se significantly different material properties and composition with the lid of ceramic material or glass, both the appearance and the feel of the tub body are modeled. From a user, no significant differences are found, so that the impression of a continuous, uniform bottom results with the integrated lid, leaving only a necessary for the water flow gap between the lid and the recess.
Als weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich, dass im Rahmen der Erfindung der üblicherweise aus einem Rohmaterial hergestellte Deckel weitgehend frei geformt werden kann. Die Herstellung kann beispielsweise durch Gießen (insbesondere bei Glas) oder aber auch Pressen und nachfolgendes Brennen (besonders bei Keramik) erfolgen. Während der Deckel an seiner Oberseite bevorzugt eine im Wesentlichen ebene mittlere Fläche aufweist, kann die Geometrie des Randes sowie die Ausformung des Deckels an der Unterseite weitgehend frei gewählt werden. In einer entsprechenden Form werden an der Deckelunterseite Ausformungen vorgesehen sein, die Abstandselemente in Form von Rippen, Nuten oder dergleichen oder auch Formschlusselemente zur Verbindung mit der darunter angeordneten Ablaufgarnitur bilden. Es ist schließlich auch möglich, den Deckel zu bohren oder zu fräsen, wobei diese Arbeitsschritte bei keramischem Material üblicherweise vor einem Brennen durchgeführt wer-den.A further advantage is that in the context of the invention, the cover usually made of a raw material can be largely freely formed. The preparation can be done for example by casting (especially in glass) or else pressing and subsequent firing (especially in ceramics). While the lid preferably has a substantially flat central surface on its upper side, the geometry of the rim and the shape of the lid on the underside can be chosen largely freely. In a corresponding form, formations will be provided on the underside of the cover, which form spacer elements in the form of ribs, grooves or the like, or else positive-locking elements for connection to the waste set arranged underneath. Finally, it is also possible to drill or mill the cover, wherein these steps are usually performed on ceramic material before firing.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung wird ein massiver, einstückiger und formstabiler Deckel aus keramischem Material oder Glas gebildet. Erfindungsgemäß wird auf einen zusätzlichen Träger verzichtet. Der Deckel liegt dann abgesehen von einer optional vorgesehenen Zwischenschicht unmittelbar mit seiner Unterseite an der Vertiefung und/oder der Ablaufgarnitur an. Der Wegfall eines Trägers führt zu einer Vereinfachung bei der Herstellung. Des Weiteren wäre ein üblicherweise aus Kunststoff gebildeter Träger auch hinsichtlich der extrem langen Lebensdauer von emaillierten Sanitärwannen auf Dauer eine potentielle Schwachstelle. So muss bei der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kombination einer Kappe mit einem Träger ein Kunststoff ausgewählt werden, der keiner merklichen Alterung unterworfen ist, die beispielsweise auf das Ausgasen von Zugabemitteln in der Polymermatrix oder eine Zerstörung der Polymerketten zurückzuführen ist. Darüber hinaus muss auch ein Kunststoff ausgewählt werden, der dauerhaft gegenüber Beeinträchtigungen durch aggressive Reinigungsmittel oder dergleichen resistent ist.In the context of the invention, a solid, one-piece and dimensionally stable lid made of ceramic material or glass is formed. According to the invention, an additional carrier is dispensed with. The cover is then apart from an optionally provided intermediate layer directly with its underside on the recess and / or the drain fitting. The elimination of a carrier leads to a simplification in the production. Furthermore, a carrier usually formed of plastic would also be extreme in terms of the long service life of enameled sanitary tubs permanently a potential vulnerability. Thus, in the combination of a cap with a carrier known from the prior art, it is necessary to select a plastic which is not subject to appreciable aging due, for example, to the outgassing of additives in the polymer matrix or destruction of the polymer chains. In addition, a plastic must be selected that is permanently resistant to interference from aggressive cleaning agents or the like.
Wie zuvor erläutert, ermöglicht die Ausgestaltung des Deckels aus einem keramischen Material oder Glas eine weitgehend freie Formgebung. Während die von dem Deckel abgedeckte Grundfläche im Wesentlichen von der Form der Vertiefung und dem gewünschten Spaltmaß zwischen der Vertiefung und dem Deckel vorgegeben ist, können die Höhe des Deckels, die Wölbung des Deckels sowie die Krümmung an dem Rand des Deckels weitgehend frei gewählt werden. Gerade bei einer bevorzugten flächenbündigen Integration in den Wannenboden, bei der der Deckel mit einem umfangseitigen Abstandspalt für den Wasserablauf so in die Vertiefung eingesetzt ist, dass dieser flächenbündig an den die Vertiefung umgebenden Bereich des Wannenkörpers angrenzt, ist der Deckel bis zu seinem Rand im Wesentlichen eben. Mit umfasst sind dabei auch Ausgestaltungen, die eine leichte Wölbung oder eine zum Rand abfallende Schräge aufweisen, um ein vollständiges Abfließen des Wassers zu ermöglichen. Eine leichte Wölbung oder Schräge wird von einem Benutzer nicht oder nur kaum wahrgenommen und entsprechend auch nicht als störend empfunden.As explained above, the design of the lid made of a ceramic material or glass allows a largely free shaping. While the base area covered by the lid is essentially dictated by the shape of the recess and the desired gap between the recess and the lid, the height of the lid, the curvature of the lid and the curvature at the edge of the lid can be chosen substantially freely. Especially in a preferred flush integration into the trough floor, in which the lid is inserted with a circumferential gap for the water outlet so in the recess that it is flush with the area surrounding the recess of the tub body, the lid is up to its edge substantially just. Included are also embodiments that have a slight curvature or sloping slope to the edge to allow complete drainage of the water. A slight curvature or slope is not perceived by a user or only barely perceived and accordingly not bothersome.
Hinsichtlich des Randes des Deckels ist zu berücksichtigen, dass der Spaltbereich in einem gewissen Maße einsehbar ist und damit in einem wesentlichen Maße das Erscheinungsbild der Wanne prägt. Insbesondere können Dusch-und Badewannen mit einem flächenbündig integrierten Deckel sehr puristisch mit wenig Gestaltungselementen geformt sein, wodurch die Geometrie des Deckels und insbesondere die Randgeometrie des Deckels in den Vordergrund treten oder zumindest erheblich zu dem Gesamterscheinungsbild der Sanitärwanne beitragen können. Während bei einem emaillierten Deckel aus Blech die Gestaltung durch die Umformbarkeit des Bleches eingeschränkt ist, kann bei einer Ausgestaltung aus keramischem Material oder Glas eine vielfältige Variation erfolgen. Neben unterschiedlichen Krümmungen und Höhen des Randes ist es schließlich denkbar, an der Oberseite Gestaltungselemente in Form von Wellen, Rillen oder dergleichen vorzusehen, die im Rahmen der Blechumformung nicht realisierbar sind.With regard to the edge of the lid, it should be taken into account that the gap area can be viewed to a certain extent and thus to a considerable extent characterizes the appearance of the pan. In particular, shower and can Bathtubs with a flush-mounted lid be formed very puristically with little design elements, whereby the geometry of the lid and in particular the edge geometry of the lid come to the fore or at least contribute significantly to the overall appearance of the sanitary tub. While the design is limited by the formability of the sheet in an enameled sheet metal cover, in a configuration of ceramic material or glass, a varied variation can be made. In addition to different curvatures and heights of the edge, it is finally conceivable to provide at the top design elements in the form of waves, grooves or the like, which are not feasible in the context of sheet metal forming.
Als keramisches Material ist Sinterzeug, insbesondere Feinsteinzeug oder Porzellan geeignet. Darüber hinaus sind gegenwärtig auch modifizierte technische Keramikmaterialien bekannt, die eine erhöhte Widerstandsfähigkeit und Bruchbeständigkeit aufweisen. Auch solche Materialien sind im besonderen Maße für die Bildung des erfindungsgemäßen Deckels geeignet.As a ceramic material is sintered, especially porcelain stoneware or porcelain suitable. In addition, modified technical ceramic materials are also currently known which have increased resistance and breakage resistance. Such materials are particularly suitable for the formation of the lid according to the invention.
Um bei einer Ausgestaltung aus keramischem Material die Oberfläche des Deckels zu schützen, kann eine Glasierung vorgesehen sein, die sich zweckmäßigerweise zumindest an der Oberseite und bevorzugt an der gesamten Oberfläche des Deckels erstreckt.In order to protect the surface of the lid in a configuration of ceramic material, a glaze may be provided, which expediently extends at least on the upper side and preferably on the entire surface of the lid.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, den Wannenkörper und den Deckel in der gleichen Farbe bereitzustellen. Zusätzlich kann aber auch der Deckel, der üblicherweise nahe eines Randes eines Wannenkörpers oder mittig angeordnet ist, farblich abgehoben sein, um gerade bei einer einfach und klar gestalteten Sanitärwanne optische Akzente setzen zu können. Die Farbe des Deckels kann beispielsweise durch die Auswahl einer entsprechenden Glasur eingestellt werden. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass das keramische Material bzw. Glas des Deckels mit Farbpigmenten durchgefärbt ist. Auch bei einem keramischen Material bleibt selbst bei einem Abrieb oder einem Abplatzen der Glasierung der Farbeindruck unverändert. Des Weiteren ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die Glasierungen häufig durchsichtig oder zumindest durchscheinend sind, so dass auch bei einem glasierten Deckel das darunter angeordnete keramische Material sichtbar bleibt. Je nach keramischen Material kann auch in Betracht gezogen werden, auf eine zusätzliche Glasierung zu verzichten. Bei Glas kann die Durchsichtigkeit oder auch leichte Trübung als Designelement genutzt werden. Die Farbe oder Trübung kann durch Pigmente oder andere Farbstoffe eingestellt werden, wobei auch eine völlig lichtundurchlässige Ausgestaltung möglich ist.In the context of the invention it can be provided to provide the tub body and the lid in the same color. In addition, however, the lid, which is usually located near an edge of a tub body or centrally, be highlighted in color, just to set visual accents in a simple and clear designed sanitary tub. The color of the lid, for example, by selecting an appropriate glaze be set. Additionally or alternatively, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, it may also be provided that the ceramic material or glass of the lid is colored with color pigments. Even with a ceramic material, the color impression remains unchanged even in the case of abrasion or chipping off of the glaze. Furthermore, it should be noted that the glazings are often transparent or at least translucent, so that even with a glazed lid the underlying ceramic material remains visible. Depending on the ceramic material may also be considered to dispense with an additional glaze. In glass, the transparency or even slight haze can be used as a design element. The color or haze can be adjusted by pigments or other dyes, whereby a completely opaque configuration is possible.
Da der an die Vertiefung angepasste Deckel im Rahmen der Erfindung entweder haptisch und optisch in den Wannenboden integriert ist oder bei einer anderen Einfärbung ein bewusstes Gestaltungselement darstellt, wird dieser auch bei einer erheblichen Größe nicht als störend empfunden. Des Weiteren muss gerade bei flachen Duschwannen gewährleistet werden, dass durch den Abstandsspalt zwischen Deckel und Vertiefung genügend Wasser abfließen kann, um ein Überlaufen zu vermeiden. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es in der Regel zweckmäßig den Deckel verhältnismäßig groß auszugestalten, wobei der Deckel beispielsweise eine Fläche von mehr als 60 cm2, insbesondere mehr als 100 cm2, abdecken kann.Since the lid adapted to the depression is either haptically and visually integrated into the trough bottom in the context of the invention or represents a conscious design element in the case of a different coloring, this is not perceived as disturbing even with a considerable size. Furthermore, especially with flat shower trays, it must be ensured that enough water can flow out through the gap between cover and recess to prevent overflowing. Against this background, it is generally expedient to design the lid relatively large, wherein the lid, for example, an area of more than 60 cm 2 , in particular more than 100 cm 2 , cover.
