Description

SHOWER PLATE OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un plato de ducha, que pudiendo tener cualquier configuración geométrica, presenta la particularidad de que en correspondencia con el marco perimetral del mismo existe una canalización que admite la disposición de una tira de leds para la iluminación del plato. The present invention relates to a shower tray, which can have any geometric configuration, has the particularity that in correspondence with the perimeter frame thereof there is a channel that allows the provision of a LED strip for lighting the plate.

Es objeto de la invención conseguir un plato de ducha que sea perfectamente iluminable en determinados momentos y usos de la ducha. It is an object of the invention to achieve a shower tray that is perfectly illuminable at certain times and uses of the shower.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Existen numerosos y diversos tipos de plato de ducha, con unos u otros diseños, en unos materiales u otros, pero sin que los mismos incorporen medios de iluminación propios. There are numerous and diverse types of shower trays, with one or another design, in some materials or others, but without them incorporating own lighting means.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El plato de ducha que se preconiza presenta la particularidad de que incorpora unos medios de iluminación propios a base de tiras de led, o mejor dicho una tira que recorre parte del perímetro interno del propio plato. The shower tray that is recommended has the particularity that it incorporates its own lighting means based on LED strips, or rather a strip that runs part of the internal perimeter of the plate itself.

Mas concretamente el plato de ducha, en lo que respecta al borde perimetral del mismo, presentan una sección en "L", con una acanaladura en su cara interior que en el caso de tratarse de un plato rectangular afecta a tres de los lados, y cuya acanaladura, por uno de los extremos, se comunica con el exterior a través de un orificio a través del cual es pasante el cable de alimentación de una tira de led que recorre toda la acanaladura, permitiendo iluminar el interior del plato, con la particularidad de que en el lado no afectado de la acanaladura y exteriormente se incorporará el correspondiente transformador de tensión e incluso una regleta para ocultar el cable desde dicho transformador hasta el orificio de entrada del cable a la acanaladura en la que se sitúa la tira de leds. More specifically, the shower tray, with respect to its perimeter edge, has an "L" section, with a groove in its inner face that in the case of a rectangular plate affects three of the sides, and whose groove, by one of the ends, communicates with the outside through a hole through which the power cable of a led strip that runs through the entire groove is passed, allowing to illuminate the inside of the plate, with the particularity that on the unaffected side of the groove and externally the corresponding voltage transformer and even a strip will be incorporated to hide the cable from said transformer to the cable entry hole to the groove in which the LED strip is located.

Los diodos led serán de 12 voltios, mientras que la superficie del plato presentará una ligera inclinación para que no se generen sombras. The LEDs will be 12 volts, while the surface of the plate will have a slight inclination so that shadows are not generated.

Entre la acanaladura y el fondo del plato deberá existir una cierta altura para conseguir una perfecta iluminación. Between the groove and the bottom of the plate there must be a certain height to achieve perfect lighting.

Esta especial estructuración hace que las tiras de leds puedan sustituirse fácilmente en caso de avería. This special structuring makes the LED strips easily replaceable in case of breakdown.

De la misma manea, la estructuración del plato permite una fácil y rápida instalación de distintos tipos de mamparas sobre dicho plato, si bien el mismo se suministrará con un manual de instrucciones para el fontanero/instalador. In the same way, the structuring of the plate allows an easy and fast installation of different types of screens on said plate, although it will be supplied with an instruction manual for the plumber / installer.

Por último decir que el plato estará materializado normalmente en resina y cargas minerales como la dolomita, y lógicamente el conjunto se complementará con un mando a distancia convencional para el encendido y el apagado, o para dar mayor o menor intensidad, siempre en combinación con la tira de leds de iluminación. Finally, say that the dish will normally be materialized in resin and mineral loads such as dolomite, and logically the set will be complemented with a conventional remote control for switching on and off, or to give greater or lesser intensity, always in combination with the LED strip lighting.

La pintura del mismo será preferentemente un gel coat que le de unas propiedades antideslizantes y antibacterianas. The paint thereof will preferably be a gel coat that gives it anti-slip and antibacterial properties.

Opcionalmente, el plato podría ser susceptible de ser cortado a medida, en función de las necesidades específicas de cada caso, de manera que, obviamente la zona cortada se vería desprovista de los medios de iluminación que se acaban de describir, si bien, el resto de la configuración del plato permanecería inalterada, manteniendo parcialmente su función iluminadora. Optionally, the dish could be capable of being cut to size, depending on the specific needs of each case, so that obviously the cut area would be devoid of the lighting means just described, although the rest of the configuration of the plate would remain unchanged, partially maintaining its illuminating function.
