Definitions

  • the stand or cradle itself should be produced easily and quickly, and be of very lightweight and nonmassive structure, which nevertheless offers satisfactory rigidity for fitting and complete reinforcement of the areas of lesser strength of the aforesaid vessels.
  • the bearer cradles of a sanitary vessel like a bath-tub should thus comply with a definite number of criteria to be advantageous technically and economically.
  • Bearer cradles or frames of a variety of types have been suggested. These cradles are commonly heavy, massive, solid, of complex structure, produced in the form of several components having a relatively imperfect thermal insulation or they imperfectly perform their dual stabilising and reinforcing functions for the areas of lesser strength of the vessel. If one or other of these bearer cradles can eventually offer one of the aforesaid advantages, each one has a certain number of inconveniences and no one of them fulfill all the aforesaid requirements at the same time and simultaneously.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a bearer cradle which simultaneously fulfils all the technical requirements and economic conditions set forth above.
  • the bearer cradle is characterised in that it consists of a ribbed onepiece element of double profile, possessing alternate hollow ribs, the lower hollow ribs having supporting surfaces which may or may not be situated in a horizontal plane, in such manner as to bear on the floor or on any other base.
  • the hollow upper ribs have concave supporting faces supporting the base of the vessel andmatching and fitting the rounded off parts formed at the corners of the bottom of the vessel between this bottom and the side walls of the vessel as well as the curved portions thereof.
  • the bearer cradle forms thus a peripheral buttress or abutment for the sanitary vessel at the lower part of the same.
  • the aforesaid or rubbed bearer cradle according to the invention can be produced for example by a single stamping operation on a plate.
  • the bearer cradle posessing alternate hollow ribs according to the invention, may advantageously be ribbed in such manner that the concave support faces match and fit the rounded off portions and the connecting curves at least as far as the springing line of the lateral surfaces of the vessel.
  • the bearer cradle possessing alternate hollow ribs acoffers the advantage that it is possible, with great flexibility and precision, to adjust the amplitude of the difierent hollow ribs in height as well as in width, and to vary their number according to the degree of rigidity required for the vessel. Accordingly, it is thus permissible to produce bearer cradles, for example in the form of a stamped out plate, this plate having consequently its thickness reduced to a minimum by bringing into play the combination of the above mentioned elements. This results in minimum consumption of raw material, in a speedup in the rate of production, and in employing presses of considerably lower power for example.
  • the bearer cradle according to the invention having hollow and alternate ribs, moreover advantageously renders it possible, in combination with the vessel itself and the floor or any other support, to form individual and fractional pockets of air offering excellent thermal insulation.
  • bearer cradle having hollow and alternate ribs is that it may be produced by a single operation, for example by a stamping operation on a deformable plate, and that it forms a one-piece sealed bearer cradle, its production being simplified considerably.
  • FIG. 1 a view in partially cut away perspective of a first form of embodiment of a bearer cradle according to the invention, supporting a bathtub;
  • FIG. 2 a cross section of a first modified form of the bearer cradle illustrated in FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 a cross section of a second modified form of the bearer cradle illustrated in FIG. l.
  • a bearer cradle 1 of a vessel 2 for example a bathtub, consists of a ribbed element 3, having hollow alternate ribs 4, 6, 9.
  • the double profile has hollow support ribs 4 situated in a horizontal plane and resting on the oor, and hollow concave ribs 6 for support of the base of the vessel.
  • it includes hollow concave ribs 9 matching and fitting the rounded portions formed at the corners 7 of the vessel in its lower part as well as the connecting curvatures 10 of the base 5 and of the lateral sides 8 of the vessel 2, in such manner as to possess a peripheral buttressor abutment for the lower part of the vessel.
  • the hollow alternate ribs offer great rigidity despite their great lightness as well as satisfactory stabilisation for the vessel at its lower part, and may be modified and adjusted in number and amplitude, length and height, with flexibility and precision.
  • the ribbed element 3 forming the bearer 1 consists of synthetic material.
  • the bearer cradle is ribbed in such manner that it has a shoulder 11 at its peripheral part.
  • This shoulder is intended to act as a bearer for the finishing panels 12 of the Vessel 2. These panels 12 rest on the shoulder 11 of the bearer cradle 1 and are secured to the top flange 13 of the vessel 2.
  • a one piece bearer cradle is ribbed complementarily to the vessel 2 and comprises finishing panels like panels 12 for the vessel 2.
  • this second modified form is advantageously ribbed in such manner that the bearer cradle 1 has an undercut step 14 along at least part of the periphery of its base, leaving room for the feet.
  • the bearer cradle according to this second modified form is particularly advantageous apart from the advantages it already possesses by virtue of the principle of embodiment of FIG. 1: it represents a harmonious combination moreover, which in conjunction with a vessel like a bathtub forms a complete light and uniform assembly, which is sealed, ready for its normal use, without having to resort to intermediate working or operation of assembling and adjusting, such as those corresponding to the panels and their installation and adjustment.
  • the bearer cradle has a peripheral abutment 17 matching the external overhanging flange at the top of the vessel.
  • This upper peripheral abutment 17 not only renders it possible to omit the subsequent reinforcement of this area of lesser strength, but even to reduce the initial thickness of its raw material.
  • This upper peripheral abutment, in combination with the lower peripheral abutment, ensures perfect stabilisation of the vessel thus grasped and held by its base as well as by its top, preventing any tilting of the vessel.
  • bearer cradle allows of its production by a single operation, for example by a stamping operation on a deformable plate and that it forms a one-piece sealed bearer cradle, its production being simplified considerably.
  • the bearer cradle according to FIG. 3 is also particularly advantageous in the sense that it simplies the problems involved in storage, transport and assembly.
  • these are installed and assembled by simple insertion. This operation may thus be performed at the last moment, that is to say at their place of destination and by an unskilled worker and in a very short time.
  • the onepiece bearer cradle according to FIG. 3 may easily be produced, for example by a stamping operation on a deformable plate of metal, or of synthetic material for example. It is evidently possible to employ other techniques or other materials for the production of the bearer cradle, which equally offers a substantial advantage.
  • the bearer cradle of the present invention thus simultaneously and altogether complies with all the technical and economic requirements cited in the foregoing in respect of the bearer cradle itself as well as of the sanitary vessel, moreover forming an attractive combination with the sanitary vessel their production and assembly being simplified considerably.
  • a bearer cradle extending beneath said bottom and said vessel and possessing a peripheral buttress for said bottom, said rounded parts and said curvatures, the said bearer cradle consisting of a doubleprofile one piece ribbed element having alternate lower and upper hollow ribs, said lower hollow ribs having bearing surfaces to rest on a base, while said upper hollow ribs have concave surfaces supporting said bottom of the vessel and matching and fitting said rounded portions as well as said curvatures along at least a part ol' the periphery of said bottom.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 1 characterized by the amplitude in width and height of the alternate hollow ribs as well as the number of the said ribs being variable.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 2 for a sanitary vessel like a bathtub characterized in that it consists of a one-piece ribbed element having alternate lower and upper hollow ribs, said lower hollow ribs having bearing surfaces to rest on a 'base while said upper hollow ribs have concave surfaces supporting said bottom of the vessel and matching and fitting said rounded portions as well as said curvatures along at least a part of the periphery of said bottom, thus possessing peripheral buttress or abutment for said bottom of the sanitary vessel.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 2 in which said peripheral buttress matches and lits said rounded portions at said corners and said curvatures, at least up to the springing line of said lateral sides of said sanitary vessel.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 2 comprising a shoulder constituting a support at the periphery of said cradle for at least one lateral finishing panel for said vessel.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 2 comprising an insulating pad between said cradle and said vessel.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 2 comprising a peripheral abutment for complementary reinforcement and stabilisation tting the overhanging flange of the upper part of said vessel.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 11 characterized in that it forms a complete nesting arrangement by insertion with the vessel.
  • a bearer cradle according to claim 2 the provision 14.
