Description

Description of the invention

The present invention relates to a folding shower cabin capable of being folded after use in order to make it possible to use the space it occupies during its use in a different way.

Nowadays, the high cost of housing and the high population density, especially in large urban centers, have led to the development of a construction industry that builds small apartments, with small spaces, and generally with at least some spaces intended for mixed use. Just for example, we can mention a living room with a corner space for cooking, or a living room furnished with a sofa bed, which can be turned into a bedroom at night.

In particular, the bathroom should contain sanitary equipment, a shower, a washing machine and a space where you can hang washed clothes to dry.

There are also living spaces in which there is a need for space due to a large extent to the nature of this space itself, for example on ships or large pleasure boats. 12 Returning to the bathroom above, the most common solution in general is to use the vertical space as well, for example by placing a clothes dryer above the bath itself, capable of sliding vertically for easy loading in the lower position, and which then lifts up.

However, such an advantageous location cannot be used in the presence of a shower cabin.

From the document (ER 0603475A), a complex shower cabin is known, which includes a shower curtain and a supporting frame, equipped with at least one fixing element for the shower curtain, and the specified frame is made with the possibility of rotation around an axis placed horizontally on the equipped vertical wall, and is made with the possibility of moving between two positions, respectively, the working position in which the specified support frame protrudes from the specified equipped vertical wall, while the specified curtain hangs c 29 vertically downward from the specified at least one fastening element, and the initial position in which (U the specified frame is placed parallel specified equipped vertical wall.

In this situation, it is obvious that the use of the vertical space above the shower cabin is hindered by the presence of a frame protruding horizontally from the wall, which supports the shower curtain, and often also pipes that supply water to the shower head, also protruding from the wall. M

It is also known that in small bathrooms, the water from the shower falls directly on the floor and is removed by means of a drain placed in the floor. Water can also fall on the shower plate connected to said cabin and attached to the floor under the shower head, so that the shower cabin takes up a lot of space when not in use. uh-

The applicant has now come to the conclusion that by correspondingly changing the essential structure of the shower cabin, it is possible

To get a folding shower cabin, that is, one that can be significantly reduced in size after use, thereby providing the opportunity to use the space it occupies during use in a different way.

The applicant has also developed a new structure of the shower plate, with the help of which it is possible to obtain a collapsible shower plate, capable of folding after the shower is used, to use the space of the room in which the shower is installed. 70 This invention aims to solve the problems arising from the prior art and offers a folding shower cabin, the main volume of which, when not in use, is smaller than its volume in working condition.

And" Thus, the subject of the presented invention is a complex shower cabin that includes a shower curtain and a support frame, equipped with at least one fastening element for the shower curtain, and the indicated frame is made with the possibility of rotation around an axis placed horizontally on the equipped vertical wall, and is made with the possibility of movement between the two positions, respectively, the working position, in which the specified support frame protrudes from the specified equipped vertical wall, while the specified curtain hangs vertically down from the specified at least one fastening element, and the initial position, in which the specified frame is placed parallel specified equipped vertical wall and in addition, according to the b invention, it is assumed that in the mentioned initial position of the support frame, the mentioned curtain is folded near the b 20 specified at least one fastening element so that the curtain is hidden from view.

Additional features and advantages of the invention will easily become apparent from the preferred, but not exclusive, options for implementing a folding shower cabin according to the presented invention.

The description follows with reference to the accompanying drawings, provided solely by way of non-limiting reference, in which: 52 Fig. 1 shows a side view of a shower cabin according to the present invention in a position

Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of the shower plate related to the shower cabin of Fig. 1 and 2, in working condition; and

Fig. 8 shows a plan view of the shower plate of Fig. 7. because the Shower cabin 1 according to the invention, in its most general form, includes a support frame 2 (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) for the shower curtain 3, attached to the equipped vertical wall 4 and which rotates around at least a horizontal axis X, parallel to said vertical wall 4, and the executive device 5 for actuating the specified support frame 2. The specified support frame 2 is equipped with at least a fastening element 6 for the curtain

C, fixed with the possibility of rotation around the specified horizontal axis X and can move between two positions, respectively, the working position, in which the support frame 2 protrudes from the vertical wall 4 (Fig. 1 and C) and the curtain C, hanging vertically down from the element fastening 6, and the initial position (Figs. 2 and 4), in which the support frame 2 is located parallel to the specified vertical wall 4 and the curtain C is folded near the specified fastening element 6. In a separate embodiment described here, the support frame 2 /o0 includes a bracket that rotates, 7, hingedly attached to at least the first bracket 8, which corresponds to the corresponding hinge va, built into the equipped vertical wall 4, on which the cabin 1 is installed. The bracket 7 is made as one unit with the casing 9, has a semicircular shape in plan (Fig. 5 and 6), along the edge of which a semi-circular sectional strip 10 is attached, from where the curtain 3 hangs.

The device 5 for actuating the support frame 2 includes a linear actuator 11 (Fig. 3 to 5) / 5 of the piston type, the cylinder 12 of which is hinged to at least the second bracket 13, which corresponds to the corresponding hinge 13a built into the equipped wall 4 , on which the cabin 1 is installed, is simplified and shown schematically in the upper part, and the rod 14 of which is hingedly attached to the rotating bracket 7 in a position that does not coincide with the eyes of the two brackets 8, 13. The executive mechanism 11 can be of any of a known and suitable type, also taking into account that it must work in a bathroom, in the presence of water | humidity: for example, it may have a waterproof electric motor, preferably of low voltage, which moves the kinematic link by a screw or worm gear, or a piston, as described above, which works with compressed air, or of the hydrodynamic or oleo-dynamic type.

The presented description will not be able to fully illustrate all possible structural and kinematic variants of implementation, specifically described here, the specified alternative forms will easily become obvious from the description of relationships presented here, which connect each specific variant of implementation with the result that should be obtained. io)

For example, both the rotating bracket 7 and the linear actuator 11 can be hinged, instead of a single bracket 8, 13, to a pair of brackets, one on each side, on both sides of the bracket 7 or the mechanism 11, the task of the kinematic mechanism is essentially the movement of the bracket 7 "g z around the horizontal axis X, formed by the hinge of the bracket 8, along an arc near 909,

Brackets 8 can also be attached directly to the equipped vertical wall 4, but preferably they are fixed on a metal "C"-shaped or "T"-shaped or "I"-shaped sectional strip attached to the wall to facilitate further assembly and preparation of the shower cabin 1 according to the invention.

In a special version of the implementation described here, the casing 9, which defines the surface of the shower in the top view

From Cabin 1, it has a semicircular shape, but it is obvious that it can even have a square or rectangular shape, or any other shape, the specified shape is essentially not of particular importance in relation to the invention.

In particular, the casing U is preferably an open box structure, including a semicircular base, with a diameter located parallel to the equipped wall 4, and provided with an edge 15, perpendicular to the specified base Its such that it passes along the curvilinear profile of the specified base and is oriented in the direction of " 70 shower curtain 3. -

Gani As shown in Fig.1, 2, 7 and 8, the shower cabin can also include a shower plate 16, fixed near the vertical wall 4 of the bathroom below the support frame 2; in its most general form, it is preferably square or rectangular in shape, although in the alternative any other shape may be used, the shape having no particular significance in relation to the invention. Plate 16 includes a flat plate 17 that defines a bearing surface on which the shower user stands. The mentioned flat plate 17 can be obtained in any known way, for example by means of a sheet of suitable plastic material, which is given the desired shape. Preferably, the plate 17 includes a peripheral edge 17a, which is raised in relation to the bearing surface, runs along three sides, and is absent along parallel and adjacent to the wall 4

Gee! sides, the indicated edge 17a is designed to collect water in the plate 17 and transport it towards the wall.

Said plate 17 is mounted on a platform 18, which includes a series of sides 19 and crossbars 20, mutually connected to form a non-deformable structure capable of supporting the weight of at least one person and the movements described

GT" below. At least one, but preferably at least a pair, of said sides 19 are elongated in shape and have an end integrally attached to a shaft 21 which forms an axis of rotation "X" for said plate 17.

This shaft 21 is located horizontally, i.e. parallel to the floor, it can rotate freely within at least the sleeve 22 attached to the floor or to the adjacent vertical wall (Fig. 7 and 8). In particular, as in the case described here, the sleeve 22 is fixed by means of a holder 23 attached to the wall or to the floor

Ф, in any suitable way, for example with bolts 24. On the shaft 21, at least one of its ends is integrally wedged into the coaxial pulley 25 for actuating the indicated platform 18. Preferably, the side of the plate 17 that does not reach the raised edge 17a , coincided with the position of the rotating shaft 21, and it is even more preferable that the surface of the plate 17 along the indicated side bends behind the said shaft 21. On the vertical wall 4 next to the shaft 21, a tank 26 is provided for collecting water from the shower 1, according to of the specified plate 17. The loading part of the tank 26 is located below the bearing surface of the plate 17.

In other words, the height from the ground "I" of the edge 17a of the tank 26, turned towards the edge 17a of the plate 17 (Fig. 1), is not greater than the height from the ground "H" of the surface of the plate 17 in relation to the rotating shaft 21. 65 The mentioned reservoir 26 extends (Figs. 7 and 8) not less than the length "a", and preferably greater than the length "p" of the plate 17, while in width (Figs. 1 and 2) it extends from the wall to the adjacent the edges of the plate 17, and preferably also beyond the specified edge. In other words, the distance "c" of the edge of the tank 26 from the wall is preferably greater than the distance "a" of the side without the edge of the plate 17 from the wall 4. The tank 26 is connected to the trap 26va, placed between the tank 26 and the floor, for draining water. Preferably, the tank side 26, which

Being in contact with the wall of the space, it would extend to a considerable height along the said wall in order to collect and convey to the drain water splashes which, otherwise, would inevitably fall directly on the wall, eventually leading to the destruction of the plaster and the penetration of moisture into the wall .

Preferably, the surface of the plate 17 is slightly inclined towards the edge facing the reservoir 26 to facilitate water drainage. Preferably, at least one of the mentioned sides 19 is provided with a support 27, /o hingedly attached to the side, with the center of gravity located between the hinge point and the floor. Therefore, the support 27 is always oriented vertically; it performs the function of supporting the platform 18 when the shower plate 16 is used (Fig. 1 and 7), and is aligned with the board 19 when the shower plate 16 is in the folded state (Fig. 2). As a result, the volume of the folded shower plate 16, which is essentially determined by the thickness "85" of the plate 17 (Fig. 2), placed on the platform 18, is less than the height "T" (Fig. 1) of the mentioned edge 17a from the ground, and as a result /5 of this, it has very small dimensions.

Preferably, the surface of the platform 18 facing the floor (when the shower tray is in use) is covered by a panel 28, for example made of the same material as the shower tray 16, for essentially aesthetic reasons in order to hide the frame of the platform 18 when the shower tray is in use. plate 16 is folded (Fig. 2) near wall 4.

Preferably, at least one of the ends of the rotating shaft 21 is provided with a casing 29 (Fig. 8), which would contain at least the pulley 25 and, at least partially, the means 30 for working with the pulley 25, for actuating the shower plates 16.

The operation of the shower cabin 1 according to the invention is now easily understood: in the closed position (Fig. 2 and 4), the rotating bracket 7 hangs down from the hinge and bracket 8; the casing 9, attached to the bracket 7, hangs together with it and is directed down the vertical wall 4, and hides from the view the shower curtain 3, folded with an accordion near the semi-circular sectional strip 10, the executive mechanism 11 for actuating the bracket 7 and others devices described below. at);

The main part of the support frame 2 of the folded shower cabin 1 is significantly determined by the thickness of the casing 9, that is, the height of the mentioned edge 15, and thus it does not create a significant obstacle to the use of the space occupied by the shower cabin 1 in working mode. It is preferable that the shower cabin 1 according to the invention includes additional devices capable of facilitating and rationalizing the operation of the shower cabin itself. ise)

First of all, it includes a kinematic mechanism 31 for actuating the shower cabin Z alternately between Ge open position and closed position.

It should be noted that when using the shower cabin 1, the shower curtain 3 hanging from the specified in. at least one fastening element 6, deployed vertically downwards. In the preferred embodiment, the fastening element b is a semi-circular sectional strip running along the curvilinear profile of the casing 9, preferably inside the edge 15 of the casing 9, thus remaining hidden from the outside observer.

Curtain C is attached to said sectional strip 6 by any known and suitable means, such as a set of hooks, and hangs vertically downwards in the open position. curtain C can consist of a single sheet, as in the illustrated version, or of several separate sheets; the last implementation is most convenient when the sectional strip 6, instead of a semi-circular one, is formed by a set of )» rectilinear sectional strips placed at an angle to each other, for example, preferably the casing 9 has a rectangular, square or trapezoidal shape.

In any case, the lower edge of the curtain C is preferably weighted by suitable means, such as a set of heavy elements attached to said lower edge Za, to keep the curtain C in tension. In the preferred embodiment described herein, said suitable means comprise a continuous semi-annular band

Sh- 32 (Fig. 3), the profile of which is identical to the sectional strip 6, attached to the lower edge of the curtain 3.

The strip 32 is connected to a plurality of flexible ties 33, preferably at least three, such as textile or metal wire or rope, preferably made of nylon, attached to the strip 32 at least on its

Me, the ends and at least in an intermediate position. At the other end, the ties 33 are connected to the pulley 34 placed on the casing 9, and more preferably on the rotating bracket 7, and along their passage they are partially wound each on at least the guide transfer roller 35 (Fig. 3 and 4), located along the peripheral edge of the casing 9 in accordance with the circular sectional strip 6.

In the area between the sectional strip 6 and the strip 32, the ties 33 are connected, in a freely sliding manner, to the hinge 3, for example by means of a plurality of rings attached to the hinge C and through which the said ties 33 slide. its electric drive: according to the preferred embodiment illustrated here, the electric drive includes a first gear wheel 36, inseparably connected and coaxial with the pulley 34, connected by means of a rigid transmission belt 37 to a second gear wheel 38, preferably also placed on rotating bracket 7 and controlled by a motor (not shown) of any known and suitable type. The purpose of the kinematic mechanism 31 described here, which has many possible implementation options, is to rotate, on command, the winding pulley 34.

The operation is easily understood: the pulley 34 is rotated, alternately in two directions, respectively, to unfold the shower curtain C when the shower cabin 1 is put into operation, and to close the shower curtain 65 C after the cabin 1 is used. When the curtain Z returns to its initial state, the ties 33 are wound on the pulley 34, sliding along the guide transmission roller Z5 and lifting the semi-circular strip 32 up. Shower curtain C, attached to ties 33, is forced to fold into an accordion near section strip 6. The movement stops when strip 32 reaches section strip b, while curtain C is completely folded in on itself and is located between section strip b and strip 32. Same same movement in the opposite direction causes deployment of y

The vertical direction of the curtain 3, initially folded on itself.

The support frame 2 also has a shower nozzle 39, which, in the preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, is attached to the casing 9, or preferably to the rotating bracket 7, at the end of the section of the rigid pipe 40, also inseparably connected to the bracket, which rotating, 7 or with a casing 9. In any case, the other end of the specified rigid pipe 40 is connected to the water supply network (not shown) by a flexible connecting element, not shown here, which can also replace the rigid pipe 40. Alternatively, the device according to the invention may only include means of fixing said shower head 39, which, when the cabin 1 is open, hangs from the rotating bracket 7, and when the cabin 1 is closed, it continues to hang from the vertical wall 4, in a fully known manner , and is always connected to the water supply network by a flexible connecting element.

The main surface of the casing 9 can be solid or have an opening according to the rotating bracket 7, in order to be able to install the mentioned devices, i.e. the gears 36, 38, the drive belt 37, the electric drive, the shower head 39; in this case, the desire to hide the mentioned devices from the field of view, when the shower cabin 1 is closed, may entail the need to make the base of the casing 9 in the form of two mutually parallel, but not lying in the same plane, parts of the peripheral and central surface, placed in accordance with the mentioned of the rotating bracket 7, the latter passes from the peripheral part, closer to the vertical wall 4 when the shower cabin 1 is closed.

Preferably, the surface of the casing 9, which is in the field of view, that is, opposite the vertical wall 4, is covered by a mirror 41 in order to provide greater brightness and greater apparent depth of space, as well as to add sophistication to the overall appearance of the device according to the invention. with

Based on the above description, the operation of the shower plate 16 according to the invention is also readily apparent.

By alternating action in both directions of the pulley 25, the shower plate 16 is forced to rotate around the shaft o); 21, thus shifting the shower plate 16 alternately between the working position, in which the horizontal shower plate 16, plate 17 is substantially parallel to the floor, and the initial position, in which the shower plate 16 is stacked against the vertical wall 4 of the bathroom. It should be noted that even in this position (Fig. 2) the water that "g

Zo flows from the shower plate 16, continues to flow into the storage tank 26 and does not splash on the bathroom floor. X,

The pulley 25 can be operated in any suitable manner known to one of ordinary skill in the art. In particular, when only the shower plate 16 is used, without the above-mentioned cabin, as a means 39 for actuating the plate 1, a motor can be used, which directly controls the pulley 25, or a suitable kinematic mechanism, for example with gear wheels and gears, for connection of the pulley 25 with the engine, which is located at a distance from the pulley itself.

In addition, the rotation of the shower plate 16 can be obtained with the help of executive mechanisms different from those described above, for example, with the help of a system of arms or levers that directly connect the plate 16 with a vertical wall or with the floor, without the presence of a pulley 25.

It is preferable that the shower plate 16 of the invention is used in combination with a folding support frame 2. In this variant, it is preferable that the support frame 2 and the shower plate 16 do not move independently of each other, but would be mutually connected. In particular, the pulley 25 of the shower plate 16 is controlled by a motor that controls the actuation of the frame 2 by means of a transmission system, such as "U"-shaped belts or rigid transmission belts, chains, cables or other means. Alternatively, the lever system directly connects the frame 2 of the shower cabin 1 to the plate 16, without the need for a pulley 25. In the general case, the system connects the means 30 for actuating the plate 16 to the device 5 for actuating frame 2 so as to achieve synchronism between the movements of frame 2 and plate 16. In other words, when cabin 1 opens, the frame

Sh-2 and the platform 18 of the plate 16 are simultaneously moved to a horizontal position, the shower plate 16 is

Ge" at floor level, the frame 2 of the cabin 1 in the raised position, covering the shower plate 16. As a result, the curtain

C unfolds in height, descending from the frame 2 to the level of the slab 16, thus creating an environment,

Me isolated from the space that contains the cabin 1. In this variant, it is preferable that the system connecting the frame 2 and the plate 16 is contained within the frame 42, attached to the wall 4, which covers and protects the elements of the system. This rack 42 can also be advantageously used as an element of support for the actuation means of the frame 2 and the shower plate 16.

Figures 1 and 2 show this preferred embodiment of the invention. Figure 1 shows the folding shower cabin in the open state, with the frame 2 of the cabin 1 projecting from the vertical wall of the space, hanging down iF, the shower curtain 3, fully deployed to its full height. It is preferable that the lower edge of the Za curtain C remains within the peripheral edge 17a of the plate 17, so as to prevent splashing of water on the floor.

When the cabin 1 is closed, first the curtain C is folded with an accordion up, next to the frame 2 of the cabin 1, then the frame 2 of the cabin 1 and the platform 18 of the shower plate 16 simultaneously take a vertical position and are folded against the wall. Figure 2 shows the folding shower cabin 1 in the folded, closed position. The frame 2 and the platform 18 are located vertically along the wall 4, and are preferably oriented towards each other. It should be noted that in an alternative version, if there is a sufficiently high wall 4, the frame 2 will be able to rotate in the same direction as the shower plate 16, and thus fold up. 65 In addition, if the shower cabin 1, with its plate 16, is installed respectively in the corner of the bathroom, the shower cabin 16 and the frame 2 of the cabin 1 can each be placed against different walls of the corner, the frame 2 against the first wall,

plate 16 near the adjacent wall.

The invention achieves important advantages.

First of all, it should be noted that the shower plate of the invention, when it is closed, allows an alternative

Using the space it occupies while in use, so that it continuously uses the specified space. The volume of the mentioned plate in the folded position is minimal and does not cause a significant loss of space in relation to the mentioned alternative uses.

Finally, in the closed position, the shower plate according to the invention has an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It should also be noted that the supporting frame of the shower cabin according to the invention allows you to use other unused space, /or also in the case of bathrooms without a shower plate, but equipped only with a drainage drain on the floor.

In addition, the support frame without the plate can be easily placed above the bath and opened only when needed, creating an otherwise available space above the bath itself to accommodate, for example, clothes dryers.
