Description

Doors with sliding guides for bathroom access and shower.

Object of the invention

The Utility Model object of the description refers in this case to a novel design of doors with guides sliders that allow access to bathtubs and showers leaving the passage area completely free of any type of frame or structure that could be an obstacle for the user. Avoiding thus the possible inconveniences caused by the use of some sliding doors with their corresponding structures, frames or guide lanes on which they are properly supported.

Contributing, through this configuration and anchoring of sliding guides located directly on the doors, to the improvement of the difficulties that may arise when entering or Get out of the tub and shower.

Offering as a result a very useful design and practical that allows, in addition to sliding, turning or dejection of said doors.

Field of the Invention

The scope of the invention would be the covering the industry dedicated to the manufacture of screens, panels and elements intended for enclosing bathtubs and showers. Also including in this same area the manufacturers of accessories, sliding doors and optional elements that can intervene within the general manufacturing and production process of this type of products in said market sector.

Background of the invention

On the part of the applicant it is unknown in the actuality the existence of an invention that presents the characteristics described in the Model's own memory Utility. His employment being totally new.

Currently, there are many solutions and possibilities to adapt a bathroom enclosure system and shower with sliding doors or screens with frames or structures, obtaining a fairly functional result. With the major disadvantage that can lead to the inconvenience of leaving partially blocked the passageway when entering and leaving the bathtub or shower

Description of the invention

The doors with sliding guides for access to bath and shower object of the present invention consist of a design Sliding closure formally configured starting from two glass panels or doors placed superimposed. Being variables their dimensions depending on the space allocated to said enclosures Although they will always be rectangular with the longer sides oriented vertically.

Located in an area close to the limits of both panels and both at the top and bottom, the cited sliding guides. One at the bottom of the doors and another of identical characteristics superiorly. Arranged in a parallel plane to the ground. Being anchored between the two doors allowing one of them to slide over the other when pulling one of the knobs located at an approximate average height. Until get completely overlapping. Finally joining the wall or structure, always available in this class of enclosed spaces, the panel that does not slide. Through the use of hinges. In addition to the slippage caused by the guides, the folding or turning of the doors. Being able to open and close.

On the other hand, the sliding guides themselves are They consist of several metallic elements obtained by a extrusion procedure Or from prepared molds for metal casting. The profiles being in different ways that configure them. Designed all of them in order to be able to fit with each other, to be assembled.

Starting from an internally hollow profile of square section and smoothly chamfered vertices. With a recess semicircular located centrally on the upper side of the square. Orienting its curvature inwards. Showing off Similarly symmetrically at the bottom. Originating a equidistant contour to that described to provide the profile of a considerable uniform thickness over the entire length of the section. Acting this element as mobile or sliding. Being anchored to one of the glass panels using threaded screws or using adhesive sealing products for definitive bonding. Thus allowing the guide and the panel to slide at the same time. Having small cylindrical stops of reduced diameter at each end of the guide, limiting its travel.

Staying around her, assembled figure another solid "C" shaped metal element with a certain thickness, which has on each of its horizontal parallel sides of six through holes aligned along a longitudinal axis centered. Three of them being in an area near one end of the profile and the other three being reflected in the opposite limit. Matching all the holes in the upper part with those of the lower. Staying in them some metallic spheres that serve as bearings Having the element described above as functional purpose of keeping the balls or spheres positioned in the semicircular recesses of the mobile guide. Being that way embracing it allowing through the semicircular grooves that the slip occurs perfectly until it is found with the cylindrical stops that the guide or mobile profile has in its extremes

Fitting in turn over the outer poles of the spheres, a third metallic element that also adopts a "C" shape with several millimeters thick. Gifted internally on the parallel horizontal sides thereof cavities or grooves described in the mobile profile. Being in this case the orientation of the curvature opposite to the previous one, of so that the semicircular grooves coincide with the bearings. The profiles are fully assembled. Using this last section or profile as a fixed guide anchored by its vertical side to the other glass panel using threaded screws or with the use of sealing adhesive products for the definitive bonding of the anchorage. Also having said profile and at each end, about small diameter cylindrical stops that serve to prevent the element in which the balls or bearings are housed is removed from the guides.

Finishing with the design of some plugs that fit both the contour of the mobile guide and the fixed guide. Housed at the ends of each guide or profile to hide the hollow space of one and the semicircular grooves of both. As well as the intermediate sliding element that incorporates the bearings. Also designed and with the same purpose, some elongated sections with its rounded outer face. Your inner face being flat, being this adhered to the outer face of the panels of crystal. Hiding in this case all threaded joints of the panels to profiles or guides.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of figure number 1, the doors with sliding guides for access to bathroom and shower (1) are configured from glass panels or doors (2) and (3) rectangular in shape. Joining the panel (2) to the mobile guide (4), providing both the guide (4) and the panel (2) of about holes (12) and (18) respectively, in which the threaded screws (19) for the perfect union of the aforementioned elements. Allowing the displacement of these at the same weather. When joining the mobile guide (4) the profile in the form of "C" (13) with the bearings (14) and the fixed guide (5), which once it is anchored to the glass panel (3). Also providing the guide (5) and panel (3) of through holes (12) and (18) with the screws (19) to remain anchored.

The mobile guide (4) has both superior and inferiorly of semicircular grooves or raceways (8) through which the bearings (14) housed in the "C" shaped profile (13). Happening in the same way with the grooves or raceways (9) found on the faces interiors of the fixed guide (5) although in this case, the orientation of the curvature is opposite to that of the grooves (8) of the mobile guide (4).

Also incorporating the aforementioned guides (4) and (5) in an area near its ends and on both sides, some stops cylindrical (10) and (11) that fulfill the function of preventing the profile (13) out of the guides themselves existing in this way a sliding path with beginning and end.

Sliding doors with guides sliders (1) originates when pulling one of the knobs (6) located on one side of the panel or glass door (2), causing a horizontal opening or closing movement. Rotting also open or close the doors when the panel (3) is attached to the wall or structure (7) with their dejection, by using hinges.

Finally appearing as designed elements for a perfect and clean finish of the invention, some plugs (15) and (16) housed on both sides of the guides (4) and (5) respectively, hiding the inside of them. Using elongated sections (17) to hide all joints made when fixing the doors (2) and (3) to the guides (4) and (5).

The materials used for the realization of these doors with sliding guides for access to bathroom and shower (1), will be all described in the present invention. Rotting modify or vary the dimensions of its elements depending on the possible variations that are presented to the market.

The terms in which this is described Utility Model memory should always be taken with broad and non-limiting nature.
