Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a bathtub with variable volume.
  • bathtubs are impaired by a length that is often incompatible with the small dimensions of bathrooms, especially in the case of small flats.
  • a shower box is normally installed in similar situations because its total volume corresponds to the dimensions of the square shower tray.
  • variable volume of the invention which is a totally innovative device, it being for the first time able to offer the advantages of a shower box together with the benefits of a bathtub.
  • the specific purpose of the present invention is to devise a bathtub with the same longitudinal volume as a shower box (which is substantially limited to the dimensions of a typical shower tray), which at the same time allows the user to comfortably stay inside the bathtub and, most of all, to sit for the entire duration of the shower or bath.
  • Such a purpose has been achieved by providing the bathtub of the invention with a vertical, preferably parallelepiped structure, the peculiarity of which consists in the fact that it is provided on one of its vertical walls with a pull-out compartment - which is adapted to project from the vertical wall - used to support a seat whereon the user can comfortably sit.
  • the compartment (together with the seat) can be brought from a non-operating position, wherein it is completely housed inside the bathtub, to an operating position, wherein it projects on the outside of the bearing wall.
  • the seat mounted in the pull-out compartment can be used by the user only when the pull-out compartment is in operating position.
  • the capability of the pull-out compartment of the bathtub of the invention of being in two different positions allows for defining the bathtub of the invention as "a bathtub with variable volume”; it being evident that the internal volume of the bathtub (together with its water capacity) will increase when the pull-out compartment is brought to its operating position.
  • the user can keep the pull-out compartment of the bathtub in the non-operating position to reduce the total volume of the bathtub, whereas he can easily bring the pull-out compartment of the bathtub to the operating position when he intends to use the bathtub and sit inside it.
  • the additional purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the access and the exit of the user into and from the bathtub.
  • the bathtub is provided with a lateral door adapted to open up a passage section used by the user to comfortably access or exit the bathtub in "empty bathtub” condition.
  • the bathtub of the invention (V) has a substantially parallelepiped structure formed of a substantially rectangular bottom wall (1), from which two transversal edges (2a, 2a') and two longitudinal edges (2b, 2b') project upwards.
  • the first transversal edge (2a) is provided with a first vertical opening (3) adapted to facilitate the access and the exit of the user into and from the bathtub of the invention (V).
  • the first opening (3) is provided with a watertight door (4) that, when in opening position, allows the user to pass from the outside to the inside of the bathtub (V) and vice versa.
  • the watertight door (4) When in closing position, the watertight door (4) is perfectly watertight with respect to the water loaded inside the bathtub (V).
  • a second opening (6) is provided on the first longitudinal edge (2b) for its entire height; in particular, the second opening (6) covers the majority of the central surface of the first longitudinal edge (2b), of which only two short sections remain, basically consisting in its lateral ends.
  • An oscillating box body (7) exactly operates in the second opening (6), it being hinged at the base of the border (1 a) of the bottom wall (1) and accordingly adapted to alternately rotate from the inside to the outside of the bathtub (V) through the second opening (6).
  • the oscillating box body (7) is formed of a front wall (7a) with substantially the same surface as the second opening (6), as well as of two lateral walls (7b) in symmetrically opposite position that project towards the inside of the bathtub (V) starting from the vertical borders of the front wall (7a).
  • Each of the lateral walls (7b) has a profile shaped as an upturned right-angled triangle and is provided for the entire height of its internal sloping border (7b') with a wing (8) folded at 90° towards the outside of the box body (7).
  • a seat (9) is provided inside the box body (7), in the direction of the bathtub (V), it being supported between the front wall (7a) and the two lateral walls (7b).
  • the box body (7) is rotated towards the inside of the bathtub (V) in order to minimize its total volume.
  • the front wall (7a) of the box body (7) is perfectly aligned with the two lateral sections of the first longitudinal edge (2b) of the bathtub (V), without projecting on the outside of the longitudinal edge (2b).
  • the bathtub of the invention (V) is watertight with respect to the water loaded inside it.
  • Such a watertight property is guaranteed by two seals (10) vertically mounted on the inside of the two lateral sections of the first longitudinal edge (2b) and adapted to be compressed when the box body (7) reaches the end of the pulling-out travel, between the lateral ending sections of the first longitudinal edge (2b) and the two lateral wings (8) provided on the lateral walls (7b) of the box body (7).
  • the user will access the bathtub (V) through the door (4) and sit on the seat (9), and then he will start supplying water to fill the bathtub (V).
  • the bathtub of the invention (V) can be also obtained according to a second embodiment, which is functionally equivalent to the first embodiment.
  • the first longitudinal wall (2b) is provided with a second central opening (60) that only affects a top section.
  • the box body (70) is formed of a vertical front wall (70a) to which a horizontal bottom wall (70c) and two opposite lateral walls (70b) are associated.
  • the horizontal bottom wall (70c) is adapted to support a seat (9), whereas the two lateral walls (70b) are provided on the free vertical borders (70b') with wings (80) folded at 90° towards the outside of the box body (70).
  • the box body (70) is adapted to be alternately disposed in the non-operating position shown in Fig. 3 , and the operating position shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the front wall (70a) is disposed substantially flush with the first longitudinal edge (2b) of the bathtub (V), in such manner that the entire structure of the box body (70), including the seat (9), is contained inside the bathtub (V).
  • the outward sliding of the box body (70) brings it in projecting position on the outside of the first longitudinal edge (2b), in such a condition that the user can comfortably sit on the seat (9) and be progressively immersed in the water supplied in the bathtub (V) while sitting.
  • two seals (10) are mounted on the inside of the first longitudinal edge (2b), substantially at the height of the vertical edges of the second opening (60).
  • the seals (10) are adapted to be compressed between the first longitudinal edge (2b) and the wings (80) that project laterally from the lateral walls (70b) of the box body (70).
  • an additional seal is provided to guarantee watertightness between the horizontal wall (70c) of the box body (70) - substantially at the height of the internal horizontal border (9a) of the seat (9) - and the lower horizontal edge of the second opening (60) of the first longitudinal edge (2b) of the bathtub (V).
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show a third embodiment of the bathtub of the invention (V), which is likewise provided with the same box body (70) of the embodiment shown in Figs. 3 and 4 .
  • the peculiarity of the third embodiment consists in the fact that the box body (70) is of rotating type and does not slide as a drawer.
  • first longitudinal border (70c') of the bottom wall (70c) of the box body (70) is hinged on the lower horizontal border of the second opening (60) provided in the center of the first longitudinal edge (2b) of the bathtub (V).
  • the box body (70) is adapted to pass from the non-operating position shown in Fig. 5 to the operating position shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the box body (70) is in such a position that the bottom wall (70c) is flush with the first longitudinal edge (2b) of the bathtub (V), in such a condition that its entire structure is "overturned” and contained inside the bathtub (V).
  • the box body (70) projects on the outside of the first longitudinal edge (2b), in such a condition that the bottom wall (70c) is in perfect horizontal position together with the seat (9).
  • the stop for a similar outward rotation of the box body (70) is provided by the interference established between the lateral wings (80) of the box body (60) and the internal side of the first longitudinal edge (2b).
  • the presence of the seals (10) guarantees watertightness between the lateral wings (80) and the lateral edges of the second opening (60) of the first longitudinal edge (2b).
  • the box body (70) is provided with seals also at the height of the internal horizontal border (9a) of the seat (9) regardless of the fact that the seals are not shown in Figs. 5 and 6 .
