Description

Shower plate.

The present specification refers to, as its title indicates, to a shower tray of the type used commonly in homes, characterized in that it comprises a base recessed on which rests a central platform of smaller size supported by its side walls and forming a groove Drainage peripheral enters both pieces.

Currently, multiple and varied types of shower trays are widely known. The most commonly used have a drain in one of the corners, or in its middle part, as we can find collected, for example, in the Utility Models U200000356 " Shower platform " and U200101428 " Shower platform ", corresponding to an aesthetically very conventional model, in addition to the added inconvenience of having a visible drain mouth, which can be a source of bad odors or stagnant debris.

They have tried to make some shower trays aesthetically differentiated from these, as we can find described in Utility Model U009902033 "Improved shower tray ", which is constituted by a base that determines a gutter that extends as a fence according to the peripheral contour of the shape of the shower while the side walls of said gutter are defined so that the inner wall is smaller than the outer wall, the upper edge of the inner wall determining a seat on which it is placed supported a flat plate, which is peripherally with a certain clearance with respect to the outer wall of the gutter and in a situation below the corresponding upper edge of said outer wall, or the one protected in the Utility Model U200301161 " Sanitary shower tray "which describes a sanitary shower tray, consisting of two pieces, the lid (1) being composed of a platform and po r a frame, separated from each other by a surrounding drain channel with milled edges, and the base being made of stainless steel where the edges are folded in radius, to reinforce and support the platform. Subsequently, square tubes will be welded to give robustness to the assembly, coupling a round tube for the drain. This type of embodiment presents the problem of the excessive constructive complexity of the set, especially of the base, which significantly increases the cost of the shower tray.

Finally, embodiments are also known as the one recommended in the Utility Model U200000008 "Improved shower tray " characterized in that it is constituted by a base that determines a gutter that extends in the form of a fence according to the contour of the shower, configuring said gutter a laterally inclined bottom, in correspondence with the lower part of which a lateral drainage channel exits, while at the upper edge the walls of said channel determine respective horizontal wings outward, on whose wings of the inner walls a plate is incorporated supported flat which superficially covers the base until close to the outer walls of the gutter, with respect to which it leaves a small free opening in all the contour. This type of plate shares with the previous the constructive complexity, based on folded and shaped metal, which greatly increase its manufacturing.

To solve the problem in the news regarding the problem of the construction of dishes of shower has been devised the shower tray object of the present invention, which comprises a recessed base on which rests a smaller central platform supported by its side walls and forming a peripheral drain slot Enter both pieces.

The recessed base is made of material laminar, of reduced thickness, preferably in stainless steel. It adopts a shape with a quadrangular bottom, from which the side walls of which two of them face have slightly different heights, while the other two walls laterals have a variable height between both heights, forming a bottom with a slight inclination to allow drain of wastewater through a drain hole arranged on one of the sides and connected to the discharge network at  through the appropriate tube. The four walls are finished in their upper part with a folded inward forming a peripheral tab.

The central platform is also made in thin sheet material, preferably in steel stainless. Take a shape with a quadrangular top and of dimensions slightly smaller than the empty space defined by the peripheral flange of the recessed base, from which the side walls descend, of which two of them facing each other have different heights, while the other two side walls have a variable height between both heights, corresponding to the inclination provided in the recessed base. To the  least two of these walls, preferably those of height not variable, they have openings in their lower part rounded to allow the passage of water.

The recessed base is mounted, just like its name indicates, embedded in the ground in such a way that the upper part of the peripheral flange is flush with the tiles or elements that make up the bathroom floor. Inside the base recessed the central platform is placed, with the bottom of the side walls resting inside the recessed base, leaving the upper part of the central platform in this way flush with the peripheral flange of the recessed base, and by both with the bathroom floor, forming a surface continuous only broken by the peripheral drain slot.

The manufacture of both parts of this dish shower, due to its constructive simplicity, it is planned to perform by folding from the development cut by laser or matrix and subsequent welding in the corners.

This shower tray is presented multiple advantages over the devices available in the currently being the most important that allows to achieve a flat shower surface, completely flush with the floor, avoiding obstacles and access problems for people with mobility reduced

Another important advantage to note is that the simplicity of its lines allows an easy and economical process of manufacturing.

It is important to also note the aspect aesthetic perfectly integrated into the surface that achieves this invention.

Also highlight the advantage that supposes, in the case of variants with recessed base mounting, cleaning of surfaces it achieves and the elegant aesthetic finish.

To better understand the purpose of this invention, an embodiment has been shown in the attached drawing preferential practice of the shower tray.

In this plane, figure -1 shows views in plan and built-in profile of the shower tray.

Figure -2- shows a plan view and section, together with the development of the embedded base.

Figure -3- shows a plan view and section, together with the development of the central platform.

The shower tray object of the present invention, is basically formed, as can be seen in the annexed plan, by a recessed base (1) on which rests a central platform (2) of smaller size supported by its walls lateral (14, 15, 16, 17) and forming a peripheral groove (4) Drain enters both pieces (1, 2).

The recessed base (1) is made of material laminar, of reduced thickness, preferably in stainless steel. It adopts a shape with a quadrangular bottom (5), from which the side walls (6, 7, 8, 9) of which two of them (6, 7) facing each other have slightly different heights, while the two other side walls (8, 9) have a variable height between both heights, forming a bottom (5) with a slight inclination to allow the emptying of wastewater through a drain hole (10) disposed on one of the sides and connected to the discharge network through the appropriate tube (11). The four side walls (6, 7, 8, 9) are finished in their part upper with a folded inward forming a tab peripheral (12).

The central platform (2) is also made of sheet material, of reduced thickness, preferably in stainless steel Adopt a shape with a top (13) quadrangular and of dimensions slightly smaller than the empty space defined by the peripheral tab (13) of the base recessed (1), from which the side walls descend (14, 15, 16, 17), of which two of them (14, 15) facing each other have different heights, while the other two side walls (16, 17) have a variable height between both heights, corresponding with the inclination provided on the recessed base (1). At least two of these walls, preferably those of non-variable height (14, 15), have in their lower part some openings (18), so preferably rounded variable, to allow the passage of Water.

The recessed base (1) is mounted, just like its name indicates, embedded in the ground (19) so that the part top of the peripheral flange (12) is flush with the tiles (20) or elements that make up the bathroom floor. Inside the recessed base (1) the platform is placed central (2), with the bottom of the side walls (14, 15, 16, 17), resting on the bottom (5) of the recessed base (1), leaving the upper part (13) of the platform central (2) flush with the peripheral flange (12) of the base recessed (1), and therefore with the bathroom floor, forming a continuous surface only broken by the groove peripheral (4) drain.
