Description

The present invention relates to a retractable shower cabin, folding after use, allowing you to use for other purposes the space that it occupies during its use.

Currently, the high cost of housing and high population density, especially in large urban centers, have led to the development of the construction industry, which builds small apartments with small space, and, basically, at least some spaces perform several functions. A living room with a kitchenette or a living room with a sofa bed can be used as an example only, so that it can be converted into a bedroom for the night.

In particular, the bathroom should contain sanitary equipment, a shower, a washing machine and space for drying laundered clothes.

There are also living quarters where space is in high demand due to the main purpose of the structure itself, such as ships or large boats for spending free time.

Returning to the aforementioned bathroom, the most common solution, as a rule, is to use the space also vertically, for example, to place a clothes dryer above the bathtub that can be moved vertically for easy loading in the lower position and then lifting up.

This suitable device, however, cannot be used with a shower. In this case, it is clear that the use of the vertical space above the shower cabin is hindered by the presence of a frame protruding horizontally in the console from the wall, which supports the shower curtain, and often also the supply pipe to the shower spray also protruding from the wall in the console.

It is also known that in small bathrooms, shower water falls directly onto the floor and is removed using a sewer pipe recessed into the floor. It is also possible for water to fall on a shower tray connected to the aforementioned cabin and attached to the floor under the shower spray, so that the shower takes up a considerable amount of space when not in use.

It has been found that by appropriately modifying the essential design of the shower cabin, it is possible to obtain a retractable shower cabin, i.e., a cabin that can essentially disappear after use in order to make a different use of the space that it occupies during use.

A new design of the shower tray was also created, as a result of which it is possible to obtain a retractable shower tray, folding after using the shower cabin to use the space of the room in which the shower is installed.

The present invention is the creation of a retractable shower, the dimensions of which, when not in use, are smaller than its dimensions when it is in working condition, i.e. The subject of the present invention is a retractable shower cubicle as defined in the attached claims.

Additional features and advantages of the invention are more apparent from a preferred, but not exclusive embodiment of a retractable shower enclosure in accordance with the present invention.

The following is a description given solely as a non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

in FIG. 1 is a side view of a shower cabin in accordance with the present invention in a position for use;

in FIG. 2 is a side view of the shower enclosure of FIG. 1 in the closed position;

in FIG. 3 shows a part of the shower cabin of FIG. one;

in FIG. 4 shows part of FIG. 3 in accordance with the view of FIG. 2;

in FIG. 5 is a front view of a portion of FIG. four;

in FIG. 6 is a top view of part of FIG. 3;

in FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a shower tray belonging to the shower cabin of FIG. 1 and 2, in working position; and

in FIG. 8 is a top view of the shower tray of FIG. 7.

The shower cabin 1 of the invention, in General, contains a support frame 2 (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) for a shower curtain 3, mounted on an equipped vertical wall 4 and pivoting at least around a horizontal axis X parallel to the vertical wall 4, and a drive device 5 for actuating the supporting frame 2. The supporting frame 2 is made at least with a fixing element 6 for the curtain 3, rotates in a hinge around the horizontal axis X and moves between two positions, respectively, the working position in which the support I frame 2 protrudes in the console from a vertical wall 4 (Figs. 1 and 3), and the curtain 3 hangs vertically down from the fastening element 6, and the initial position (Figs. 2 and 4), in which the supporting frame 2 is parallel to the vertical wall 4 , and the curtain 3 is folded to the fixing element 6. In the specific embodiment described here, the support frame 2 comprises a rotary lever 7 pivotally mounted on at least the first bracket 8, in accordance with the corresponding hinge 8a, integral with the equipped vertical wall four, on which the cab 1 is installed. The lever 7 is made in one piece with the body 9 having a semicircular shape in a plan view (FIG. 5 and 6), along the edge of which a semicircular strip 10 is attached, to which the curtain 3 is suspended.

The device 5 for actuating the support frame 2 comprises a piston-type linear displacement actuator 11 (Figs. 3-5), the cylinder 12 of which is pivotally mounted on at least the second bracket 13 in accordance with the corresponding hinge 13a, integral with the equipped wall 4 on which the cab 1 is installed, simplified and schematically shown in the upper part, and the rod 14 of which is pivotally mounted on the rotary lever 7 in a position that is not aligned with the ears of the two brackets 8, 13. The actuator 11 can be any known and of a different type, also considering that it must function in the bathroom in the presence of water and humidity, for example, it can have a waterproof electric motor, preferably a low voltage, which moves the kinematic connection with the screw nut and the screw, or a piston, as described above operating from compressed air or hydrodynamic or maslodynamic type.

The present description usually does not depict all possible constructive and kinematic options for the embodiments specifically described therein, and the alternatives mentioned are obvious from the description given here of the relationship that relates each particular embodiment to the result to be achieved.

For example, both the rotary lever 7 and the linear actuator 11 can be pivotally mounted instead of one bracket 8, 13 on two brackets located, one on each side, on both sides of the lever 7 or the actuator 11, the task of the kinematic mechanism being essentially , consists in moving the lever 7 around the horizontal axis X, implemented by the hinge 8a of the bracket 8, for an arc of about 90 °.

The brackets 8 can also be mounted directly on the equipped vertical wall 4, but they are preferably mounted on a metal C-shaped, or T-shaped, or L-shaped strip enclosing the wall of the wall, to facilitate subsequent installation and alerting of the shower 1 in accordance with the invention.

In the specific embodiment described here, the housing 9, which forms the top view surface of the shower cabin 1, has a semicircular shape, but it is clear that it can even have a square or rectangular shape, or any other shape, the shape mentioned essentially not referring to invention.

In particular, the housing 9 is preferably an open box-shaped structure comprising a semicircular base, the diameter being parallel to the equipped wall 4 and made with an edge 15 perpendicular to the base and extending along the curved profile of the base and oriented towards the shower curtain 3.

As shown in FIG. 1, 2, 7 and 8, the shower cabin may also contain a shower tray 16 mounted near the vertical wall 4 of the bathroom under the supporting frame 2; in its most general form, it preferably has a square or rectangular shape, although any other shape can alternatively be used, the shape being essentially not related to the invention. The pallet 16 contains a flat plate 17, which forms a bearing surface on which the user of the shower steps. The aforementioned flat plate 17 can be obtained in any known manner, for example, by means of a sheet of suitable plastic molded into the desired shape. The plate 17 preferably contains a peripheral edge 17a, which is raised relative to the bearing surface, extending along three sides, absent along the parallel side and next to the wall 4, the purpose of the edge 17a is to collect water on the plate 17 and transfer it towards the wall. The plate 17 is mounted on a platform 18 containing a group of sides 19 and cross-members 20, mutually forming one and constituting a non-deformable structure capable of supporting the weight of at least one person and the movements described below. At least one, but preferably at least a pair of flanges 19 has an elongated shape and has an end that is attached integrally to the shaft 21 constituting the axis of rotation X for the plate 17. The shaft 21 is horizontal, i.e. parallel to the floor, and rotates freely at least inside the sleeve 22, attached to the floor or to an adjacent vertical wall (Fig. 7 and 8). In particular, as in the case shown here, the sleeve 22 is fixed by means of an arm 23 attached to the wall or floor in any conventional manner, for example by means of bolts 24. On the shaft 21, at least one of its ends is fixed in one piece with a coaxial pulley 25 for driving the action of the platform 18. It is preferable that the side of the plate 17, which does not have a raised edge 17a, coincides with the position of the rotating shaft 21, and, even more preferably, the surface of the plate 17 along this side rotates around you of the aforementioned shaft 21. The tank 26 for collecting shower water 1 is placed on a vertical wall 4 next to the shaft 21 in accordance with the plate 17. The neck for filling the tank 26 is located below the bearing surface of the plate 17. In other words, the height from the base h of the edge 17a of the tank 26, facing the edge 17a of the plate 17 (Fig. 1), no more than the height from the base H of the surface of the plate 17 in accordance with the rotating shaft 21. The above tank 26 passes (Fig. 7 and 8) by a length not less than, and preferably greater than, the length b of the plate 17, whereas, in terms of width (FIGS. 1 and 2), it extends from the wall to the adjacent edge of the plate 17 and, preferably, also beyond edge. In other words, the distance from the edge of the tank 26 from the wall is preferably greater than the distance d of the side without the edge of the plate 17 from the wall 4. The tank 26 is connected to a siphon 26a located between the tank 26 and the floor to remove water. It is preferable that the side of the tank 26 in contact with the wall of space extends to a considerable height along the aforementioned wall in order to collect and transmit water splashes into the sewer pipe, which otherwise would inevitably appear on the wall itself, during prolonged use destroying the plaster and impregnating the wall with moisture. It is preferable that the surface of the plate 17 is slightly inclined towards the edge facing the tank 26 to facilitate the drainage of water. Preferably, at least one of the aforementioned flanges 19 is provided with a leg 27 pivotally mounted on the flange, the center of gravity being located between the hinge point and the floor. Therefore, the foot 27 is always oriented vertically, it serves as a support for the platform 18, when the shower tray 16 is in use (Figs. 1 and 7), at the same time it is aligned with the side 19, when the shower tray 16 is in the folded position (Fig. 2). As a result, the dimensions of the folded shower tray 16 are dimensions essentially determined by the thickness s of the plate 17 (FIG. 2) mounted on the platform 18, which is smaller than the height T (FIG. 1) of the aforementioned edge 17a from the base, and therefore It is very small.

Preferably, the surface of the platform 18, oriented towards the floor (when the shower tray is in use), is covered with a panel 28 made, for example, of the same material as the shower tray 16, essentially for aesthetic reasons, to hide the frame of the platform 18 when the shower tray 16 is folded (FIG. 2) against the wall 4. Preferably, at least one of the ends of the rotating shaft 21 is located in the housing 29 (FIG. 8), which protects at least the pulley 25 and at least partially the means 30 for pulley 25 to drive tvie shower tray 16.

Now it is easy to understand the principle of operation of the shower cabin 1 in accordance with the invention. In the closed position (Figs. 2 and 4), the rotating lever 7 hangs down from the hinge 8a of the bracket 8, the housing 9 attached to the lever 7 hangs with it, located on a vertical wall 4, and hides the accordion 3, folded by an accordion, from the eyes to the semicircular strip 10, the actuator 11 for actuating the lever 7 and other devices described below.

The dimensions of the support frame 2 of the folded shower enclosure 1 are essentially dimensions determined by the thickness of the enclosure 9, i.e., the height of the aforementioned edge 15, and therefore this is not a significant obstacle for the user to use the space occupied by the shower enclosure 1. Preferably shower cabin 1 in accordance with the invention contains additional devices that simplify and rationalize the operation of the shower cabin itself.

Firstly, it comprises a kinematic mechanism 31 for actuating the shower cabin 3, alternatively, between the open position and the closed position.

It has been noted that when the shower cabin 1 is in use, the shower curtain 3 hanging from at least one fastening element 6 unfolds vertically downward. In a preferred embodiment, the fixing element 6 is a semicircular strip that extends along the curved profile of the housing 9, preferably inside the edge 15 of the housing 9, thus remaining hidden from the eyes of an external observer.

The curtain 3 is attached to the strip 6 in any known and usual way, for example using a group of hooks, and in the open position it hangs vertically down.

The curtain 3 may consist of one canvas, as in the depicted embodiment, or of numerous individual paintings, the latter solution is most convenient when the strip 6, instead of a half-ring, consists of a group of straight stripes located mutually at an angle to each other, for example, as appropriate , the housing 9 has a rectangular, square or trapezoidal shape.

In any case, the lower edge of the curtain 3 is preferably loaded with ballast by appropriate means, for example by means of a series of heavy elements attached to the lower edge 3a to hold the curtain 3 taut. In the preferred embodiment described herein, the aforementioned corresponding means includes a continuous semi-ring rod 32 (FIG. 3), the profile of which is identical to the profile of the strip 6, attached to the lower edge 3a of the curtain 3.

The rod 32 is connected to a plurality of flexible connecting rods 33, preferably at least three, for example textile or metal cables or ropes, preferably made of nylon ™, attached to the rod 32 at least at its end and at least in an intermediate position. At the other end, the connecting rods 33 are connected to a pulley 34 mounted on the housing 9, and more preferably on a rotating arm 7, and along their course each of them is partially wrapped around at least one tension roller 35 of the transmission (Fig. 3 and 4 ) installed along the peripheral edge of the housing 9 in accordance with the annular strip 6.

In the section between the strip 6 and the rod 32, the connecting rods 33 are connected in a freely sliding manner to the curtain 3, for example, by means of a plurality of rings that are attached to the curtain 3 and along which the aforementioned connecting rods 33 slide.

The pulley 34 can be manually controlled, but preferably it is mechanized, in accordance with the preferred embodiment depicted here, the mechanization comprises a first gear wheel 36 made integrally and coaxial with the pulley 34, connected via a hard drive belt 37 to the second gear 38 preferably also mounted on the rotary arm 7 and driven into rotation by an engine (not shown) of any known and conventional type. The kinematic mechanism 31 described here, providing an infinite number of possible embodiments, drives the cable winding pulley 34 into rotation. The principle of operation is obvious: the pulley 34 is rotated, alternatively, in two directions, respectively expanding the shower curtain 3 when the shower cabin 1 is set to working condition, and folding the shower curtain 3 after using the cabin 1. When the curtain 3 is assembled, the connecting rods 33 are wound on the pulley 34, sliding on the tension roller 35 of the transmission and lifting the semi-ring rod 32 up. The shower curtain 3, attached to the connecting rods 33, folds accordion to the strip 6. The movement stops when the rod 32 reaches the strip 6, while the curtain 3 is completely folded on itself and is located between the strip 6 and the rod 32. The same movement in the opposite direction causes the deployment in the vertical direction of the curtain 3, originally folded on itself.

The support frame 2 also has a shower nozzle 39, which, in a preferred embodiment of the device of the invention, is attached to the housing 9 or, preferably, to the rotary arm 7 at the end of the section of the rigid pipe 40, also made integral with the rotary arm 7 or the housing 9. In any case, the other end of the rigid pipe 40 is connected to a water outlet (not shown) by means of a flexible connecting element (not shown), which can also replace the rigid pipe 40. Alternatively, the device of the invention may comprise nly means for fixing the shower head 39 which, when the booth 1 is open, hanging from the rotating arm 7 whilst, when the booth 1 is closed, it remains hanging from the vertical wall 4, a fully known manner and always connected to the overflow flexible connecting element.

The surface of the base of the housing 9 may be a continuous surface or have an opening in accordance with a rotating arm 7, allowing the installation of the above devices, i.e. gears 36, 38, drive belt 37, motorization, shower spray 39; in this case, the desire to remove the aforementioned devices from view, with the shower enclosure 1 closed, may lead to the need to create a housing base 9 with two mutually parallel but not flat parts of the surface, a peripheral surface and a central surface arranged in accordance with the aforementioned rotating arm 7, moreover, the latter protrudes from the peripheral part closest to the vertical wall 4, with the cabin 2 closed.

Preferably, the surface of the housing 9, which is open for observation, i.e., the surface opposite the vertical wall 4, is covered by a mirror 41 to provide greater brightness and greater actual depth of space, as well as particular elegance and sophistication of the device of the invention.

Based on the above description, the principle of operation of the shower tray 16 of the invention is also apparent. By alternately acting in both directions on the pulley 25, the shower tray 16 is rotated around the shaft 21, thereby moving the shower tray 16, alternatively, between the working position, the horizontal shower tray 16, the plate 17 is substantially parallel to the floor and the starting position, the shower pallet 16 is folded to the vertical wall 4 of the bathroom. In this position also (Fig. 2), the water that drains from the shower tray 16 continues to flow into the collecting tank 26 and does not fall on the bathroom floor.

The driving of the pulley 25 can be obtained in any convenient manner known to specialists in this field of technology. In particular, when the shower tray 16 is used separately, in the absence of the aforementioned cabin, an engine that directly controls the pulley 25 or the corresponding kinematic mechanism, for example, via gears and gears for connecting, can be used as means 39 for driving the tray 1 pulley 25 with an engine located at a distance from the pulley itself.

In addition, the rotation of the shower tray 16 can be achieved by other drives from those described above, for example by means of brackets and levers that directly connect the shower tray 16 to a vertical wall or to the floor without the presence of a pulley 25.

Preferably, the shower tray 16 of the invention is used in combination with a retractable support frame 2.

In this embodiment, it is preferable that the support frame 2 and the shower tray 16 do not move independently of each other, but are mutually interconnected. In particular, the pulley 25 of the shower tray 16 is driven by an engine that controls the actuation of the frame 2 by means of a transmission system such as V-belts or hard belts, chains, ropes or other means. Alternatively, the lever system directly connects the frame 2 of the shower enclosure 1 to the pallet 16 without the need for a pulley 25. In general terms, the system connects the means 30 for driving the pallet 16 to the device 5 for actuating the frame 2 so as to achieve synchronism between the movements of the frame 2 and tray 16. In other words, when the cab 1 opens, the frame 2 and the platform 18 of the pallet 16 are simultaneously moved to a horizontal position, the shower tray 16 to the floor level, the frame 2 of the cab 1 to a raised position above the shower ddon 16. After that, the curtain 3 unfolds in height as a result of lowering from the frame 2 down to the level of the pallet 16, thereby creating an environment isolated from the space in which the cabin 1 is located.

In this embodiment, preferably, the connection system between the frame 2 and the pallet 16 is contained in a stand 42 attached to the wall 4, which hides and protects the elements of the system. Stand 42 may also constitute a support member for actuating means for frame 2 and shower tray 16.

In FIG. 1 and 2 present this preferred embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 1 shows a retractable shower cabin 1, when it is open, in the working position from the frame 2 of the cabin 1, protruding in the console from a vertical wall of space, the shower curtain 3 hangs down, fully unfolded over its entire height. Preferably, the lower edge 3a of the curtain 3 remains inside the peripheral edge 17a of the plate 17 so as to prevent water from splashing onto the floor.

When the cabin 1 is closed, first the curtain 3 is folded up accordion to the frame 2 of the cabin 1, then the frame 2 of the cabin 1 and the platform 18 of the shower tray 16 are simultaneously brought into a vertical position and are folded to the wall. In FIG. 2 shows a retractable shower cabin 1 in a folded, closed position. The frame 2 and the platform 18 are arranged vertically along the wall 4 and are preferably oriented towards each other. Alternatively, if there was a sufficiently high wall 4, the frame 2 could rotate in the same direction as the shower tray 16 and, therefore, fold up.

In addition, if the shower cabin 1 together with its tray 16 is installed respectively in the corner of the bathroom, the shower tray 16 and the frame 2 of the cabin 1 can each be folded to a different corner wall, frame 2 to the first wall, tray 16 to the adjacent wall.

The invention achieves the following important advantages.

First, it should be noted that the shower tray of the invention, when it is closed, allows you to get an alternative use of the space that it occupies during use, thus achieving continuous use of the space. The dimensions of the aforementioned pallet when folded are minimal and do not constitute a significant loss of space in relation to the aforementioned alternative uses. Finally, in the closed position, the shower tray in accordance with the invention looks aesthetically attractive. It should also be noted that the supporting frame of the shower cabin in accordance with the invention allows the use of otherwise unused space, also in the case of bathrooms without shower trays, but made only with a sewer pipe, flush with the floor.

In addition, the support frame without a pallet can easily be used above the bathtub and can only be opened if necessary, making, under other circumstances, accessible space above the bathtub itself for placement, for example, a clothes dryer.
