Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Duschabtrennung mit wenigstens einem schwenkbar angeordneten Trennelement gemäß den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a shower enclosure with at least one pivotally mounted separating element according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Die DE 201 12 394 U1 offenbart eine Duschabtrennung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und zeigt eine Glasscheibe mit einer Randdichtung. Die Randdichtung umfasst einen Fortsatz, der beidseits von einem Steg auskragende elastische Rippen oder ein Tannenbaumprofil zeigt.The DE 201 12 394 U1 discloses a shower enclosure according to the preamble of claim 1 and shows a glass sheet with an edge seal. The edge seal comprises an extension, which on both sides of a bridge cantilevered elastic ribs or a Christmas tree profile shows.

Die DE 201 17 046 U1 zeigt eine Glasscheibe mit einem Profil, welches eine Einsteckzunge aufweist, die konisch zulaufend sein kann.The DE 201 17 046 U1 shows a glass sheet with a profile which has a Einsteckzunge, which may be tapered.

Aus der EP 2 241 234 A2 ist eine derartige Duschabtrennung mit einem Dichtprofil bekannt, welches an der Unterkante des als Tür ausgebildeten Trennelements mittels eines Basisprofils lösbar und bei Bedarf auswechselbar gekoppelt ist. Das Trennelement bzw. die Tür ist im Wesentlichen vertikal angeordnet und ist als Platte, insbesondere als eine Glasplatte ausgebildet. Das Basisprofil enthält eine im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufende Nut, in welche ein Verbindungskörper des Dichtprofils eingreift, wobei mittels Rastelementen eine Fixierung erfolgt. Zwischen der Unterkante des Trennelements und dem genannten Verbindungskörper befindet sich ein ebenfalls im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufender Teil des Basisprofils. Das Dichtprofil weist einen in einen Duschinnenraum gerichteten Ablenkkörper auf, mittels welchem von der Innenfläche des Trennelements beim Duschen ablaufendes Wasser in den Duschinnenraum abgelenkt wird. Hierbei sind zwei Übergangsbereiche vorhanden, und zwar zwischen der Innenfläche des Trennelements und dem genannten Teil des Basisprofils und ferner zwischen dem Teil des Basisprofils und den nach unten anschließenden Ablenkkörper des Dichtprofils. Das derart ausgebildete und angeordnete Dichtprofil bedingt im Bereich unter der Unterkante aufgrund der genannten horizontalen Nut des Basisprofils und des in diesen eingreifenden Verbindungskörpers eine nicht unerhebliche Bauhöhe, zumal das Basisprofil recht steif ausgebildet sein muss, damit der Verbindungskörper und insgesamt das Dichtprofil funktionssicher und dauerhaft fixiert sind. Zwischen der Unterkante und einem Wannenrand oder einem Boden eines Badezimmers ist ein recht großer Spalt erforderlich. Ferner besteht die Gefahr, dass vor allem aufgrund von im Wesentlichen horizontal einwirkenden Kräften das Dichtprofil unerwünscht aus dem Basisprofil gelöst und von diesem getrennt wird.From the EP 2 241 234 A2 Such a shower enclosure with a sealing profile is known, which is detachably coupled to the lower edge of the partition element formed as a door by means of a base profile and replaceable as needed. The separating element or the door is arranged substantially vertically and is designed as a plate, in particular as a glass plate. The base profile includes a substantially horizontally extending groove, in which engages a connecting body of the sealing profile, wherein by means of locking elements, a fixing takes place. Between the lower edge of the separating element and said connecting body is also a substantially horizontally extending part of the base profile. The sealing profile has a deflection body directed into a shower interior, by means of which water draining from the inner surface of the separating element during showering is deflected into the shower interior. In this case, two transition regions are present, between the inner surface of the separating element and said part of the base profile and further between the Part of the base profile and the downward subsequent deflection of the sealing profile. The thus formed and arranged sealing profile caused in the area below the lower edge due to said horizontal groove of the base profile and engaging in this connection body a considerable height, especially since the base profile must be made quite stiff, so that the connecting body and the entire sealing profile functionally reliable and permanently fixed are. Between the lower edge and a tub edge or a floor of a bathroom, a fairly large gap is required. Furthermore, there is a risk that, especially due to substantially horizontally acting forces, the sealing profile is undesirably released from the base profile and separated therefrom.

Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigt die DE 20 2005 021 480 U1 eine Platte mit einer bereichsweise konkav ausgebildeten Nut, in welcher eine Dichtung aufgenommen ist. Die Dichtung ist mit einem verdickten Bereich in der Nut aufgenommen, von welchem eine Dichtlippe abragt.Against this background shows the DE 20 2005 021 480 U1 a plate with a partially concave groove, in which a seal is received. The seal is received in the groove with a thickened region from which a sealing lip protrudes.

Weiter zeigt die EP 1 354 545 B1 eine Duschabtrennung mit einer Glasscheibe, an welcher eine Dichtung mittels einer Klebeverbindung angebracht ist. Die Dichtung kann mit einem Lappen in eine Nut hineinragen.Next shows the EP 1 354 545 B1 a shower enclosure with a glass pane to which a seal is attached by means of an adhesive bond. The seal can protrude into a groove with a cloth.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Duschabtrennung der genannten Art mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass die aufgezeigten Nachteile vermieden werden und / oder dass eine gleichwohl funktionssichere sowie dauerhafte Festlegung des Dichtprofils erreicht wird, welches bei Bedarf vom Trennelement in einfacher Weise gelöst und gegen ein entsprechend ausgebildetes anderes Dichtprofil ausgetauscht werden kann. Ferner soll das Dichtprofil eine geringe Bauhöhe aufweisen und / oder es soll die Ansammlung von Kalk, Schmutz oder dergleichen reduziert werden. Weiterhin soll eine einfache Reinigung des Trennelements, und zwar insbesondere im Bereich der Unterkante ermöglicht werden. Darüber hinaus soll die Herstellung der Verbindung des Dichtprofils mit dem Trennelement in einfacher Weise durchführbar sein und / oder das Auswechseln oder Lösen des Dichtprofils vom Trennelement soll ohne Probleme in einfacher Weise erfolgen können.Proceeding from this, the invention has the object, a shower enclosure of the type mentioned with little design effort to the effect that the disadvantages are avoided and / or that nonetheless functionally reliable and permanent determination of the sealing profile is achieved, which if necessary by the separating element in a simple manner can be solved and replaced with a suitably trained other sealing profile. Furthermore, the sealing profile should have a low height and / or it is the accumulation of lime, dirt or the like can be reduced. Furthermore, a simple cleaning of the separating element, in particular in the region of the lower edge is to be made possible. In addition, the production of the compound of the sealing profile with the separating element should be feasible in a simple manner and / or the replacement or release of the sealing profile of the separating element should be able to be done easily in a simple manner.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Besondere Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The solution of this task is carried out according to the features specified in claim 1. Special refinements and developments are specified in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Duschabtrennung und / oder deren bevorzugt als Tür ausgebildetes Trennelement zeichnen sich durch eine einfache und funktionsgerechte Konstruktion aus, wobei insbesondere im Bereich der Unterkante nur ein einziger Übergangsbereich zwischen der Innenfläche des insbesondere als Glasplatte ausgebildeten Trennelements und dem Dichtprofil vorhanden ist. Dies gilt gleichermaßen für die Außenseite des Trennelements, zumal das Dichtprofil im Wesentlichen die gleiche Breite wie das bevorzugt als Platte, insbesondere als Glasplatte, ausgebildete Trennelement aufweist. Bei Anordnung des Dichtprofils an der Unterkante des Trennelements enthält das Dichtprofil zweckmäßig eine Dichtlippe und weiterhin einen Abweiser für vom Trennelement herabfließendes Wasser. Erfindungsgemäß kann das Dichtprofil auch zur Abdichtung eines Spaltes zwischen einer vertikalen Längskante des Trennelements und einem feststehenden Element oder einer Raumwand oder dergleichen angeordnet und / oder ausgebildet sein, wobei das als Tür ausgebildete Trennelement mittels geeigneter Scharniere oder Beschläge mit dem feststehendem Element oder einer Raumwand oder dergleichen schwenkbar verbunden ist. Das Dichtprofil erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge der Unterkante bzw. der Längskante des Trennelements. Das Trennelement kann als eine plane Platte oder gebogene Platte, insbesondere ohne Rahmen ausgebildet sein.The inventive shower enclosure and / or its preferably designed as a door partition are characterized by a simple and functional design, in particular in the region of the lower edge only a single transition region between the inner surface of the particular formed as a glass plate separating element and the sealing profile is present. This applies equally to the outside of the separating element, especially since the sealing profile has substantially the same width as the preferably formed as a plate, in particular as a glass plate, separating element. When the sealing profile is arranged on the lower edge of the separating element, the sealing profile expediently contains a sealing lip and furthermore a deflector for water flowing down from the separating element. According to the invention, the sealing profile can also be arranged and / or formed for sealing a gap between a vertical longitudinal edge of the separating element and a fixed element or a room wall or the like, wherein the separating element formed as a door by means of suitable hinges or fittings with the fixed element or a room wall or the like is pivotally connected. The sealing profile extends substantially over the entire length of the lower edge or the longitudinal edge of the separating element. The separating element may be formed as a flat plate or curved plate, in particular without a frame.

Im Gegensatz zur eingangs erwähnten Duschabtrennung ist erfindungsgemäß kein Basisprofil vorhanden, sondern das Dichtprofil ist unmittelbar an der Unterkante und / oder an der Längskante angeordnet. Das Dichtprofil enthält einen Träger mit einer Anlagefläche, welche direkt und / oder unmittelbar an der genannten Unter- oder Längskante anliegt. Der Träger weist einen von der Anlagefläche ausgehenden und / oder in einem rechten Winkel abstehenden Verbindungskörper auf, welcher in eine Nut des Trennelements eingreift und verankert ist. Nachfolgend werden der Einfachheit halber die Unterkante und die Längskante als Stirnkante bezeichnet. Die Stirnkante enthält die hinterschnittig ausgebildete Nut, in welche ein Verbindungskörper des Trägers zur direkten Festlegung des Dichtprofils an der Stirnkante des Trennelements eingreift. Die in die Stirnkante des Trennelements, welches insbesondere eine Glasplatte ist, eingebrachte Nut weist zwei Bereiche auf, und zwar einen Durchgangsbereich und im Inneren des Trennelements eine hinterschnittene Erweiterung. Die Nut enthält einen von der Stirnkante ausgehenden trichterförmigen Eintrittsbereich, welcher sich zum Durchgangsbereich hin verjüngt, wodurch bei Herstellung der Verbindung und / oder der Montage des Dichtprofils das Einführen und / oder Eindrücken des Verbindungskörpers in die Nut erleichtert wird. Der Verbindungskörper enthält einen Steg und ein Kopfteil, wobei der Steg dem Durchgangsbereich zugeordnet ist und das Kopfteil sich in der hinterschnittenen Erweiterung befindet. Das Kopfteil enthält seitliche Ankerteile, welche auf zugeordneten Stützflächen der Erweiterung abgestützt sind, um eine funktionssichere Verbindung und / oder Festlegung des Dichtprofils an der Stirnkante des Trennelements sicherzustellen. Es sei hier ausdrücklich festgehalten, dass das Dichtprofil aus einem federelastischen Material, wie Elastomer, Kunststoff oder Gummi oder dergleichen besteht. Des Weiteren ist das Dichtprofil mit dem Träger, dem Verbindungskörper und einer Dichtlippe bzw. einem Dichtbalg oder dergleichen einteilig ausgebildet.
Zwischen dem Steg und den Innenflächen ist im Durchgangsbereich der Nut zweckmäßig zu beiden Seiten hin ein Freiraum vorhanden, wobei die Breite des Stegs um einen vorgegebenen Betrag kleiner ist als die Weite des Durchgangsbereichs. Somit können bei der Montage und / oder beim Einführen und / oder Eindrücken des Verbindungskörpers in die Nut die seitlichen Ankerteile in Richtung zum Steg verformt und / oder bewegt werden, derart, dass nur ein vergleichweise geringer Widerstand zu überwinden ist bzw. eine vergleichsweise geringe Einschubkraft erforderlich ist. Die Nut und der Verbindungskörper sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass nach der Montage und / oder Herstellung der Verbindung das Kopfteil und dessen seitliche Ankerteile sich in der Erweiterung befinden und die Ankerteile auf den Stützflächen der Erweiterung aufliegen und / oder abgestützt sind.
Der Träger weist im Wesentlichen die gleiche Breite wie das Trennelement auf und enthält an seinen seitlichen Enden jeweils Anlagekörper mit abgeschrägten Flächen, welche an den Fasen des Trennelements anliegen, wobei die genannten Fasen sich in den Ecken des Trennelements zwischen der Stirnfläche und der Innenfläche bzw. der Außenfläche des Trennelements befinden. Die seitlichen Endflächen des Trägers und somit des Dichtprofils sind flächenbündig zur Innenfläche bzw. der Außenfläche des Trennelements, wobei jeweils ein einziger glatter Übergang vorhanden ist und somit die Ablagerung von Kalk, Schmutz oder dergleichen weitgehend vermieden wird.
Das Trennelement weist vorteilhaft eine Breite im Bereich 6 bis 10 mm, bevorzugt im Bereich 8 bis 9 mm, auf. Insbesondere wenn das Trennelement aus Glas besteht, hat sich eine Breite oder Dicke ab 8 mm als besonders geeignet erwiesen, um eine Nut in das Glas einzufräsen. Hierfür kann ein Kugelfräser verwendet werden.
Das Dichtprofil ist reversibel in die Nut einfügbar, wobei die Kraft, die zum Einfügen oder Eindrücken des Dichtprofils erforderlich ist, geringer ist als die Kraft, die zum Entnehmen oder Herausziehen des Dichtprofils erforderlich ist. Hierdurch wird das Dichtprofil nicht so leicht vom Trennelement separiert, beispielsweise wenn das Dichtprofil auf einem Boden gleitet.
Weiterbildungen und besondere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen sowie der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von zwei besonderen Ausführungsbeispielen angegeben und ferner in der Zeichnung dargestellt.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der dargestellten besonderen Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert, ohne dass insoweit eine Beschränkung erfolgt, wobei der Umfang nur durch die beigefügten Ansprüche definiert ist. Es zeigen in schematischen Darstellungen:

Fig. 1
teilweise in einer vertikalen Schnittebene das Trennelement, an dessen Unterkante das Dichtprofil angeordnet ist,
Fig. 2
teilweise in einer horizontalen Schnittebene das Trennelement, an dessen Längskante das Dichtprofil angeordnet ist, und

teilweise in einer vertikalen Schnittebene das Trennelement, an dessen Unterkante das Dichtprofil angeordnet ist.
In contrast to the aforementioned shower enclosure according to the invention no base profile is present, but the sealing profile is arranged directly on the lower edge and / or on the longitudinal edge. The sealing profile includes a carrier with a contact surface, which rests directly and / or directly on said lower or longitudinal edge. The carrier has an outgoing from the contact surface and / or projecting at a right angle connecting body, which engages in a groove of the separating element and is anchored. Hereinafter, the lower edge and the longitudinal edge are referred to as the front edge for the sake of simplicity. The front edge contains the undercut formed groove into which a connecting body of the carrier for direct fixing of the sealing profile on the Front edge of the separating element engages. The groove introduced into the front edge of the separating element, which is in particular a glass plate, has two areas, namely a passage area and an undercut extension in the interior of the separating element. The groove contains a funnel-shaped inlet area extending from the front edge, which tapers towards the passage area, thereby facilitating insertion and / or pressing in of the connecting body into the groove when the connection and / or assembly of the sealing profile is established. The connecting body includes a web and a head part, wherein the web is associated with the passage area and the head part is located in the undercut extension. The head part contains lateral anchor parts, which are supported on associated support surfaces of the extension in order to ensure a functionally reliable connection and / or fixing of the sealing profile on the front edge of the separating element. It should be expressly stated that the sealing profile consists of a resilient material such as elastomer, plastic or rubber or the like. Furthermore, the sealing profile is integrally formed with the carrier, the connecting body and a sealing lip or a sealing bellows or the like.
Between the web and the inner surfaces is in the passage area of the groove expediently on both sides of a free space available, wherein the width of the web is smaller by a predetermined amount than the width of the passage area. Thus, during assembly and / or during insertion and / or insertion of the connecting body into the groove, the lateral anchor parts can be deformed and / or moved in the direction of the web, such that only a comparatively low resistance is to be overcome or a comparatively small insertion force is required. The groove and the connecting body are matched to one another such that after the assembly and / or manufacture of the connection, the head part and its lateral anchor parts are in the extension and the anchor parts rest on the support surfaces of the extension and / or are supported.
The support has substantially the same width as the separating element and contains on its lateral ends in each case abutment bodies with chamfered surfaces which rest against the chamfers of the separating element, said chamfers extending located in the corners of the separating element between the end face and the inner surface or the outer surface of the separating element. The lateral end surfaces of the carrier and thus of the sealing profile are flush with the inner surface or the outer surface of the separating element, wherein in each case a single smooth transition is present and thus the deposition of lime, dirt or the like is largely avoided.
The separating element advantageously has a width in the range 6 to 10 mm, preferably in the range 8 to 9 mm. In particular, when the separating element is made of glass, a width or thickness from 8 mm has proven to be particularly suitable for milling a groove in the glass. For this purpose, a ball cutter can be used.
The sealing profile is reversibly inserted into the groove, wherein the force required to insert or impress the sealing profile is less than the force required to remove or remove the sealing profile. As a result, the sealing profile is not so easily separated from the separating element, for example, when the sealing profile slides on a floor.
Further developments and particular embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims and the following description of two particular embodiments and further illustrated in the drawing.
The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the illustrated specific embodiments, without being limited in this respect, the scope being defined only by the appended claims. In schematic representations:

Fig. 1 zeigt den unteren Teil des Trennelements 2, dessen Stirnkante 4 die Unterkante ist. Im Bereich der Unterkante enthält das Trennelement 2 eine hinterschnittene Nut 6, welche einen Durchgangsbereich 8 und weiter im Inneren des Trennelements 2 eine Erweiterung 10 mit einer insbesondere im Wesentlichen konkaven Innenkontur enthält. Ausgehend von der Unterkante enthält die Nut 6 bevorzugt einen sich zum Durchgangsbereich 8 verjüngenden Eintrittsbereich 12. Ferner weist das Trennelement 2 an seinen Ecken zwischen der Unterkante und einer Innenfläche 14 und einer Außenfläche 16 Fasen 18, 20 auf, wobei die Innenfläche 14 einem Duschinnenraum zugewandt ist, sofern mittels des als schwenkbar angeordneten und als Tür ausgebildeten Trennelements 2 ein Durchgang der Duschabtrennung vom Duschinnenraum zu einem Außenraum abgesperrt ist. Fig. 1 shows the lower part of the separating element 2, the end edge 4 is the lower edge. In the region of the lower edge, the separating element 2 contains an undercut groove 6, which contains a passage region 8 and further inside the separating element 2 an extension 10 with an in particular substantially concave inner contour. Starting from the lower edge, the groove 6 preferably contains an entrance region 12 tapering to the passage region 8. Furthermore, the separating element 2 has chamfers 18, 20 at its corners between the lower edge and an inner surface 14 and an outer surface 16, with the inner surface 14 facing a shower interior is, if by means of the pivotally arranged and designed as a door partition element 2, a passage of the shower enclosure is shut off from the shower interior to an outside space.

An der Unterkante ist unmittelbar das Dichtprofil 22 angeordnet, welches mit einer Anlagefläche 24 direkt an der Unterkante anliegt. Das Dichtprofil 22 weist einen in die Nut 6 eingreifenden Verbindungskörper 26 auf, welcher einen Steg 28 sowie ein Kopfteil 30 besitzt. Der Verbindungskörper 26 ist orthogonal zur Anlagefläche 24 angeordnet. Der Steg 28 durchdringt den Eintrittsbereich 12 und den Durchgangsbereich 8, und das Kopfteil 30 befindet sich in der Erweiterung 10 der Nut 6. Zwischen dem Steg 28 und den Innenwänden des Durchgangsbereichs 8 sind zu beiden Seiten des Stegs 28 Freiräume 32, 34 vorhanden. Erfindungsgemäß ist die Breite des Stegs 28 um einen vorgegebenen Betrag kleiner als die Weite 36 bzw. der Abstand der einander gegenüber liegenden Innenflächen des Durchgangsbereichs 8.At the lower edge of the sealing profile 22 is arranged directly, which rests with a contact surface 24 directly to the lower edge. The sealing profile 22 has an engaging in the groove 6 connecting body 26 which has a web 28 and a head portion 30. The connecting body 26 is arranged orthogonal to the contact surface 24. The web 28 penetrates the entry region 12 and the passage region 8, and the head part 30 is located in the extension 10 of the groove 6. Between the web 28 and the inner walls of the passage region 8 there are free spaces 32, 34 on both sides of the web. According to the invention, the width of the web 28 is smaller by a predetermined amount than the width 36 or the distance between the opposing inner surfaces of the passage region 8.

Das Kopfteil 30 des Verbindungskörpers 26 weist seitliche Ankerteile 38, 40 auf, welche an Stützflächen 42, 44 der Erweiterung 10 anliegen und / oder darauf abgestützt sind. Die Differenz zwischen der Weite 36 und der Breite des Stegs 28, also die Breiten der Freiräume 32, 34 sind derart vorgegeben, dass bei der Montage und / oder beim Eindrücken des Verbindungskörpers 26 in die Nut 6 die Ankerteile 38, 40 in Richtung zum Steg 28 verformt und / oder gedrückt werden, bis nach der vollständigen Montage die Ankerteile 38, 40 sich in der Erweiterung 10 befinden und an den Stützflächen 42, 44 bevorzugt mit vorgegebener Vorspannung derart anliegen, dass eine funktionssichere Festlegung und / oder Verbindung des Dichtprofils 22 unmittelbar an der Unterkante erreicht ist. Zur Demontage des Dichtprofils 22, insbesondere zwecks Auswechslung, ist eine Auszugskraft erforderlich, welche wesentlich größer ist als die Kraft zur Herstellung der Verbindung des Dichtprofils 22 mit dem Trennelement 2.The head part 30 of the connecting body 26 has lateral armature parts 38, 40, which bear on support surfaces 42, 44 of the extension 10 and / or are supported thereon. The difference between the width 36 and the width of the web 28, so the widths of the free spaces 32, 34 are predetermined such that during assembly and / or when pressing the connecting body 26 into the groove 6, the anchor parts 38, 40 toward the web 28 are deformed and / or pressed until, after complete assembly, the anchor parts 38, 40 are located in the extension 10 and on the support surfaces 42, 44 preferably with predetermined bias such abut that a functionally reliable determination and / or connection of the sealing profile 22 is reached directly at the lower edge. For disassembly of the sealing profile 22, in particular for the purpose of replacement, a pull-out force is required, which is substantially greater than the force for establishing the connection of the sealing profile 22 with the separating element 2.

Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des Dichtprofils 22 ist der Träger 46, dessen Breite 48 im Wesentlichen gleich groß ist wie die Breite des Trennelements 2. Der Träger 46 weist seitliche Anlagekörper 50, 52 auf, welche an den Fasen 18 bzw. 20 des Trennelements 2 anliegen. In besonders vorteilhafter Weise schließen die Endflächen 54, 56 der Anlagekörper 50, 52 unmittelbar und / oder in der gleichen Ebene liegend an die Innenfläche 14 bzw. die Außenfläche 16 des Trennelements 2 derart an, dass ein flächenbündiger Übergang vom Trennelement 2 auf das Dichtprofil 22 erreicht ist.An integral part of the sealing profile 22 is the carrier 46, whose width 48 is substantially the same size as the width of the separating element 2. The carrier 46 has lateral contact body 50, 52, which rest against the chamfers 18 and 20 of the separating element 2. In a particularly advantageous manner, the end surfaces 54, 56 of the contact bodies 50, 52 directly and / or in the same plane lying on the inner surface 14 and the outer surface 16 of the partition member 2 such that a flush transition from the separating element 2 to the sealing profile 22nd is reached.

Der Träger 46 liegt an der Stirnkante 4 mit der Anlagefläche 24 unmittelbar an und der Verbindungskörper 26 ist in einem rechten Winkel zur Anlagefläche 24 angeordnet. An der gegenüberliegenden, gemäß Zeichnung unteren Fläche des Trägers 46 ist ein Dichtkörper 58 angeordnet, welcher als Dichtlippe ausgebildet ist und im Wesentlichen orthogonal zum Träger 46 nach unten angeordnet ist. Sofern das Trennelement 2 der Duschabtrennung sich in der geschlossenen Position eines Durchgangs der Duschabtrennung befindet, wird mittels des Dichtkörpers 58 bzw. der Dichtlippe ein Spalt zwischen dem Trennelement 2 und einem Rand einer Duschwanne oder dem Boden eines Badezimmers oder dergleichen abgedichtet. Ferner ist am Träger 46 des Dichtprofils 22, und zwar anschließend an die Endfläche 54 ein Ablenkkörper 60 angeordnet, mittels welchem von der Innenfläche 14 herab laufendes Wasser oder dergleichen in den Duschinnenraum abgelenkt wird.The carrier 46 is located at the end edge 4 with the contact surface 24 directly on and the connecting body 26 is disposed at a right angle to the contact surface 24. On the opposite, according to drawing lower surface of the carrier 46, a sealing body 58 is arranged, which is designed as a sealing lip and is arranged substantially orthogonal to the carrier 46 down. If the partition element 2 of the shower enclosure is in the closed position of a passage of the shower enclosure, a gap between the partition member 2 and an edge of a shower tray or the bottom of a bathroom or the like is sealed by means of the sealing body 58 and the sealing lip. Further, a deflecting body 60 is arranged on the carrier 46 of the sealing profile 22, specifically adjacent to the end surface 54, by means of which water or the like running down from the inner surface 14 is deflected into the shower interior.

Fig. 2 zeigt teilweise den Rand des Trennelements 2 mit der als vertikale Längskante ausgebildeten Stirnkante 4, an welcher der Träger 46 mit der Anlagefläche 24 direkt anliegt. Abgesehen von der Ausbildung des Dichtkörpers 58 als ein Balg ist das Dichtprofil 22 übereinstimmend mit dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 ausgebildet, auf deren Figurenbeschreibung zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen Bezug genommen wird. Zur Verdeutlichung der Zusammenhänge sind jedoch die Ankerteile 38, 40 nicht in der tatsächlichen Position in der Erweiterung 10 dargestellt, sondern in der noch nicht vorgespannten Position bevor das Dichtprofil 22 mittels des Verbindungskörpers in der Nut 6 fixiert ist. Wie vorstehend erläutert, liegen nach der Herstellung der Verbindung des Dichtprofils 22 mit dem Trennelement 2 die Ankerteile 38, 40 unter Vorspannung an den zugeordneten Stützflächen der Erweiterung 10 an. Fig. 2 shows partially the edge of the separating element 2 with the formed as a vertical longitudinal edge end edge 4, on which the carrier 46 with the contact surface 24 is applied directly. Apart from the formation of the sealing body 58 as a bellows, the sealing profile 22 is consistent with the first embodiment according to Fig. 1 formed, the figure description to avoid repetition reference is made. To clarify the connections, however, are the Anchor parts 38, 40 not shown in the actual position in the extension 10, but in the unbiased position before the sealing profile 22 is fixed by means of the connecting body in the groove 6. As explained above, after the connection of the sealing profile 22 with the separating element 2 has been established, the armature parts 38, 40 are prestressed against the associated supporting surfaces of the extension 10.

Fig. 3 zeigt dies graphisch etwas deutlicher als Fig. 1. Die Ankerteile 38, 40, die im nicht verbogenen Zustand analog zu Fig. 2 stehen würden, sind hier nach innen gebogen dargestellt und liegen unter Vorspannung an den zugeordneten Stützflächen 42, 44 der Erweiterung 10 an. Fig. 3 shows this graphically more clearly than Fig. 1 , The anchor parts 38, 40, in the non-bent state analogous to Fig. 2 would stand here, shown bent inwards and are biased to the associated support surfaces 42, 44 of the extension 10 at.
