L'invention est du domaine des commodités des habitations et elle a pour objet un agencement de panneaux élémentaires composant un écran destiné à coopérer avec une baignoire pour constituer une cabine de douche, ainsi que les moyens de mise en oeuvre du dit agencement.The invention is in the field of housing amenities and it relates to an arrangement of elementary panels making up a screen intended to cooperate with a bathtub to form a shower cubicle, as well as the means of implementing said arrangement.
Un tel écran est décrit notam¬ ment dans les brevets n° 8406526 (ATELIERS DE LA MOTTE), publié sous le n° 2563098, et n° 8805419 (ATELIERS DE LA MOTTE) , et consiste en un écran adaptable à une baignoire pour permettre l'utilisation de celle-ci comme réceptacle de douche, ledit écran étant du type comprenant une plu¬ ralité de panneaux élémentaires constitués d'un cadre sup¬ portant une paroi de préférence en matière translucide et articulés entre eux, et dont l'un, situé en bordure de l'écran, est monté pivotable autour d'un axe vertical et translatable le long de ce dernier grâce à des moyens d'articulation, permettant à l'écran dans une première position, dite d'utilisation, de reposer sur le bord de la baignoire, et dans une seconde position, dite de non utilisation, d'être replié et rabattu contre un mur adjacent à un autre côté de la baignoire au-dessus de la robinet¬ terie, elle-même située au dessus du bord de la baignoire, l'écran pouvant incorporer des moyens d'assistance de re¬ montée.Such a screen is described in particular in patents n ° 8406526 (ATELIERS DE LA MOTTE), published under n ° 2563098, and n ° 8805419 (ATELIERS DE LA MOTTE), and consists of a screen adaptable to a bathtub to allow the use of the latter as a shower receptacle, said screen being of the type comprising a plurality of elementary panels consisting of a frame supporting a wall preferably made of translucent material and articulated between them, and one of which , located at the edge of the screen, is pivotally mounted around a vertical axis and translatable along the latter by means of articulation, allowing the screen in a first position, called use, to rest on the edge of the bath, and in a second position, called non-use, to be folded and folded against a wall adjacent to another side of the bath above the tap, itself located above from the edge of the tub, the screen can incorporate re-climb assistance means.
On pourra également se reporter aux brevets FR2587609 (BORSTCHER) et FR2530939 (MARIΞLLE) qui décrivent des écrans pour baignoire ou bac de douche montés pivotant en vue d'être rabattu contre le mur les supportant.Reference may also be made to patents FR2587609 (BORSTCHER) and FR2530939 (MARIΞLLE) which describe screens for baths or shower trays mounted to pivot in order to be folded against the wall supporting them.
Un inconvénient de ces dispo¬ sitifs, en présence d'une pomme de douche en saillie par rapport au mur, notamment dans le cas ou ladite pomme de douche est montée à demeure, réside dans le risque de dé¬ térioration de la paroi des panneaux élémentaires par celle- ci lorsque l'écran est en position de non utilisation.A drawback of these devices, in the presence of a shower head projecting from the wall, in particular in the case where said shower head is mounted permanently, lies in the risk of deterioration of the wall of the panels. elementary by it when the screen is in the non-use position.
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT Un autre inconvénient de ces dispositifs réside dans la nécessité pour l'utilisateur lorsqu'il déploie l'écran pour le disposer en position d'utilisation, de le retenir dans son mouvement de descente qui est généré par le poids de l'écran.REPLACEMENT SHEET Another drawback of these devices lies in the need for the user when he deploys the screen to arrange it in the position of use, to retain it in its downward movement which is generated by the weight of the screen.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un agencement de panneaux élémentaires composant un écran pour baignoire permettant de replier celui-ci contre le mur supportant la robinetterie, et au- dessus de celle-ci, même en présence d'une pomme de douche en saillie par rapport au dit mur, sans risque de détério¬ ration des parois supportées par le cadre de chacun des dits panneaux.The object of the present invention is to propose an arrangement of elementary panels making up a screen for a bathtub making it possible to fold the latter against the wall supporting the taps, and above the latter, even in the presence of a shower head. projecting from said wall, without risk of deterioration of the walls supported by the frame of each of said panels.
Un autre but est de proposer un écran équipé de moyens d'assistance de son mouvement de descente.Another object is to provide a screen equipped with means for assisting its downward movement.
Selon l'invention, un agencement d'une pluralité de panneaux élémentaires composant un écran pour baignoire ou bac de douche, du genre d'écran mettant en oeuvre en premier lieu des moyens de pivotement du dit écran par rapport au mur supportant la robinetterie, et des moyens d'articulation des panneaux élémentaires entre eux, ceux-ci étant composés d'un cadre formé de deux mon¬ tants et deux traverses supportant une paroi, et en deuxième lieu des moyens de déplacement vertical de l'écran le long du dit mur est principalement caractérisé par le fait qu'en présence d'une pomme douche en saillie par rapport au mur, un montant du cadre d'au moins l'un des panneaux se trouve en regard de la pomme de douche après pivotement en di- rection du mur de l'écran qui peut se replier au-dessus de la robinetterie et en retrait par rapport au mur sans risque d'enfoncement des parois des panneaux élémentaires par la pomme de douche.According to the invention, an arrangement of a plurality of elementary panels making up a screen for a bathtub or shower tray, of the kind of screen implementing in the first place means for pivoting said screen relative to the wall supporting the taps, and means for articulating the elementary panels together, these being composed of a frame formed by two uprights and two crosspieces supporting a wall, and secondly means for vertically moving the screen along the said wall is mainly characterized by the fact that in the presence of a shower head projecting from the wall, an amount of the frame of at least one of the panels is located opposite the shower head after pivoting di - rection of the screen wall which can be folded over the taps and recessed from the wall without the risk of the walls of the elementary panels being pushed in by the shower head.
Selon une première forme de réalisation, la baignoire ayant une largeur L , la largeur de chacun des panneaux est sensiblement égale à L/2 x C, C étant compris entre 1,2 et 1,5, de telle sorte que, l'é¬ cran étant replié en direction du mur, les montants opposés au montant en regard de la robinetterie étant en contact avec le mur, l'écran forme avec celui-ci un dièdre. Selon une autre forme de réa¬ lisation, la liaison entre l'écran et le mur étant obtenue au moyen d'un montant mural, un panneau élémentaire, dit de dégagement, relié au dit montant mural a une largeur sensiblement supérieure à la dimension maximale en saillie de l'ensemble de la robinetterie, le montant du dernier panneau élémentaire de l'écran, formant la bordure de celui- ci, étant en regard de la robinetterie et la largeur du dit dernier panneau étant sensiblement équivalente à la moitié de la largeur de la baignoire. Pour les deux formes de réali¬ sation sus-définies, les moyens de pivotement et de dé¬ placement vertical de l'écran sont situés à la liaison entre ledit montant mural et le panneau de dégagement relié à celui-ci, de telle sorte que l'ensemble des panneaux élémentaires sont mobiles par rapport au mur. Selon une forme alternative de réalisation, les dits moyens de pivo¬ tement et de déplacement vertical de l'écran sont situés à la liaison entre le panneau de dégagement et le panneau voisin à celui-ci, de telle sorte que le panneau de dégage- ment est solidaire du mur, les autres panneaux étant mo¬ biles.According to a first embodiment, the bath having a width L, the width of each of the panels is substantially equal to L / 2 x C, C being between 1.2 and 1.5, so that, the screen being folded in the direction of the wall, the uprights opposite the upright opposite the fitting being in contact with the wall, the screen forms with this one a dihedral. According to another form of embodiment, the connection between the screen and the wall being obtained by means of a wall upright, an elementary panel, called a clearance panel, connected to said wall upright has a width substantially greater than the maximum dimension projecting from the whole of the taps, the amount of the last elementary panel of the screen, forming the border thereof, being opposite the taps and the width of said last panel being substantially equivalent to half the width of the bathtub. For the two forms of realization defined above, the means of pivoting and vertical displacement of the screen are located at the connection between said wall upright and the release panel connected to it, so that all the elementary panels are movable relative to the wall. According to an alternative embodiment, said means for pivoting and for vertical displacement of the screen are located at the connection between the release panel and the panel adjacent thereto, so that the release panel- ment is integral with the wall, the other panels being movable.
Avantageusement, la paroi de l'un quelconque des panneaux est un miroir, ladite paroi étant de préférence celle du panneau relié au montant mural. Selon l'une quelconque des formes de réalisation sus-définies, les moyens de dépla¬ cement vertical étant constitués d'au moins un coulisseau cylindrique évidé rendu solidaire des éléments mobiles de l'écran et circulant dans une glissière ménagée le long des éléments fixes, l'écran est de préférence équipé en premier lieu de moyens d'amortissement de son déplacement vertical vers le bas , et en deuxième lieu de moyens de blocage en position haute, les dits moyens d'amortissement et de blocage étant associés aux moyens de déplacement vertical de l'écran.Advantageously, the wall of any one of the panels is a mirror, said wall preferably being that of the panel connected to the wall upright. According to any one of the above-defined embodiments, the vertical displacement means consisting of at least one hollow cylindrical slide made integral with the mobile elements of the screen and circulating in a slide formed along the fixed elements , the screen is preferably equipped in the first place with means for damping its movement vertically downwards, and secondly locking means in the high position, said damping and locking means being associated with means for vertically moving the screen.
Les moyens d'amortissement étant constitués d'un vérin à gaz disposé verticalement, la pression du vérin est avantageusement légèrement infé¬ rieure au poids de l'écran afin d'autoriser son déplacement naturel vers le bas, l'extrémité de la tige du vérin étant en butée contre le rebord de la baignoire et le corps du vérin étant en appui contre une butée solidaire de l'écran.The damping means being constituted by a gas cylinder arranged vertically, the pressure of the cylinder is advantageously slightly lower than the weight of the screen in order to allow its natural displacement downwards, the end of the rod of the cylinder being in abutment against the rim of the bathtub and the body of the cylinder being in abutment against a stop integral with the screen.
Selon une autre forme de réa¬ lisation, les moyens d'amortissement sont constitués du coulisseau qui est avantageusement un cône expansible dont le diamètre le plus grand est situé en son extrémité infé¬ rieure, l'expansion tendant à rendre le diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui de la glissière à l'intérieur de laquelle le coulisseau circule, une vis à tête fraisée pénétrant à l'intérieur du coulisseau par l'orifice inférieur de 1'évidement dont il est doté, le coulisseau incorporant axialement en son autre extrémité un insert fileté dans lequel se visse la vis, et comportant en son extrémité inférieure une fente axiale ménagée sur sa périphérie faci¬ litant son expansion, de telle sorte que la conformation conique de la tête de la vis règle l'expansion dans l'évi¬ dement dont il est doté, d'où il résulte d'une part que l'arête formée par la circonférence du dit diamètre cons¬ titue un frein de l'écran dans son mouvement de descente, et d'autre part que ladite expansion agit peu sur le mou- vement de montée de l'écran.According to another form of realization, the damping means consist of the slide which is advantageously an expandable cone whose largest diameter is located at its lower end, the expansion tending to make the diameter slightly greater than that of the slide inside which the slide runs, a countersunk screw penetrating inside the slide through the lower orifice of the recess with which it is provided, the slide incorporating axially at its other end an insert threaded in which the screw is screwed, and comprising at its lower end an axial slot formed on its periphery faci¬ lit its expansion, so that the conical conformation of the head of the screw regulates the expansion in the evi¬ with which it is endowed, whence it results on the one hand that the edge formed by the circumference of said diameter constitutes a brake of the screen in its downward movement e, and on the other hand that said expansion has little effect on the upward movement of the screen.
Les moyens de blocage en posi¬ tion haute sont de préférence constitués d'un doigt cyclin- drique diamétralement expansible inséré en contact étroit dans l'évidement du coulisseau, ledit doigt étant solidaire d'un support fixé sur les dits éléments fixes et comportant d'une part axialement en son extrémité supérieure un trou fileté destiné à sa liaison avec une vis à tête fraisée introduite par son orifice inférieur, et d'autre part un évidement axial conique en son extrémité inférieure destiné à loger au moins partiellement la tête conique de la vis, d'où il résulte que l'expansion du doigt est obtenue et réglée au moyen de l'insertion de la tête de la vis dans 1'évidement.The locking means in the high position preferably consist of a diametrically expandable cyclic finger inserted in close contact into the recess of the slide, said finger being secured to a support fixed on said fixed elements and comprising d 'a part axially at its upper end a hole threaded intended for its connection with a countersunk head screw introduced through its lower orifice, and on the other hand a conical axial recess at its lower end intended to at least partially house the conical head of the screw, from which it follows that the The expansion of the finger is obtained and adjusted by means of the insertion of the head of the screw into the recess.

L'écran 4 peut être replié, coulisser verticalement le long d'un montant 22 solidaire du mur 24 supportant la robinetterie 26, et pivoter afin d'être rabattu en direction du mur 24 et au-dessus de la robinetterie 26. La présence d'une pomme de douche 28, qui peut être montée à demeure, entraine un risque de dé¬ térioration de la paroi 20 des panneaux par celle-ci.The screen 4 can be folded, slide vertically along an upright 22 secured to the wall 24 supporting the tap 26, and pivot in order to be folded down towards the wall 24 and above the tap 26. The presence of 'A shower head 28, which can be permanently mounted, involves a risk of deterioration of the wall 20 of the panels by the latter.
Sur la fig.2, l'écran 4 est monté pivotant et coulissant verticalement au moyen d'un coulisseau 30. Celui-ci d'une part est rendu solidaire de l'écran 4 au moyen d'un talon 32 pénétrant dans une glissière ménagé dans le profilé formant le montant de l'un (10) des panneaux élémentaires bordant l'écran, et d'autre part circule à l'intérieur d'une glissière 34 mé- nagée le long du montant mural 22.In fig.2, the screen 4 is pivotally mounted and vertically sliding by means of a slide 30. The latter on the one hand is made integral with the screen 4 by means of a heel 32 penetrating into a slide formed in the profile forming the upright of one (10) of the elementary panels bordering the screen, and on the other hand circulates inside a slide 34 arranged along the wall upright 22.
Sur la fig.3, les panneaux sont articulés entre eux au moyen de jeux d'embouts 36 et 38, l'un des embouts 38, mâle s 'articulant avec un autre embout 36 femelle, les dits embouts 36 et 38 s'enfilant chacun dans l'un des orifices de chacun des profilés formant les traverses 16 et 18.In fig.3, the panels are hinged together by means of sets of end pieces 36 and 38, one of the end pieces 38, male being articulated with another end piece 36 female, the said end pieces 36 and 38 threading each in one of the orifices of each of the profiles forming the crosspieces 16 and 18.
Les dispositions, ci-dessus décrites, sont connues de l'art antérieur, et n'écartent pas par elles-mêmes le risque d'une détérioration de la paroi 20 lors d'un heurt de celle-ci contre la pomme 38, lorsque cette dernière est placée contre le mur au-dessus de la robinetterie 26, tel que représenté sur la figure.The arrangements, described above, are known from the prior art, and do not by themselves remove the risk of deterioration of the wall 20 when it strikes the apple 38, when the latter is placed against the wall above valve 26, as shown in the figure.
Sur la fig.4, la baignoire 2 ayant une largeur L, la largeur de chacun des panneaux 6 et 8 est sensiblement égale à L/2 x C, C étant compris entre 1,2 et 1,5. Il résulte de cette disposition que l'é¬ cran 4 étant replié en direction du mur 24, l'un des mon¬ tants 14 des panneaux élémentaires se trouve en regard de la pomme de douche 28, l'autre montant 12 étant en contact avec le mur. L'écran formant ainsi avec le mur 24 un dièdre, un espace est ménagé pour faire place à la pomme de douche 28, et les parois 20 des panneaux élémen¬ taires ne peuvent pas être en contact avec celle-ci.In fig.4, the bath 2 having a width L, the width of each of the panels 6 and 8 is substantially equal to L / 2 x C, C being between 1.2 and 1.5. It follows from this arrangement that the screen 4 being folded in the direction of the wall 24, one of the uprights 14 of the elementary panels is located opposite the shower head 28, the other upright 12 being in contact with the wall. The screen thus forming with the wall 24 a dihedral, a space is made to make room for the shower head 28, and the walls 20 of the elementary panels cannot be in contact with the latter.
Sur les fig.5 et 6, un panneau 10 élémentaire bordant l'écran 4 dit de dégagement, est relié au montant mural 22. Ce panneau 10 a une largeur sensiblement supérieure à la longueur de la pomme de douche 28 positionnant ainsi en retrait par rapport au mur 24 l'écran lorsqu'il est replié. L'autre panneau 6 bordant l'écran a une largeur équivalente à la moitié de la largeur de la baignoire 2, afin de disposer un de ses montants, 14 situé à l'extrémité de l'écran, en regard de la pomme de douche 28.In FIGS. 5 and 6, an elementary panel 10 bordering the so-called clearance screen 4 is connected to the wall upright 22. This panel 10 has a width substantially greater than the length of the shower head 28, thus positioning it in withdrawal by compared to the wall 24 the screen when folded. The other panel 6 bordering the screen has a width equivalent to half the width of the bath 2, in order to have one of its uprights, 14 located at the end of the screen, facing the shower head. 28.
Sur la fig.5, le panneau 10 de dégagement est monté pivotant et coulissant vertica¬ lement sur le montant mural 22, tandis que sur la figure 6, le panneau de dégagement 10 est rendu solidaire du mon¬ tant mural 22 perpendiculairement au mur, le panneau élé¬ mentaire 8 lui étant voisin étant monté pivotant et coulis- sant verticalement avec celui-ci.In FIG. 5, the release panel 10 is mounted to pivot and slide vertically on the wall upright 22, while in FIG. 6, the release panel 10 is made integral with the wall mount 22 perpendicular to the wall, the elementary panel 8 being adjacent to it being pivotally mounted and sliding vertically therewith.
Sur la fig.7, l'écran 4 est équipé d'une part d'un moyen 40 d'amortissement de son mouvement de descente, et d'autre part de moyens 42 de blocage en position haute. Le moyen d'amortissement 40 est un vérin 44 à gaz, dont la pression est légèrement inférieure au poids de l'écran 4, afin d'autoriser de ma- nière assistée sa descente. L'extrémité de la tige du vérin 44 est en appui contre le rebord de la baignoire 2 fixé dans la glissière 34 d'un élément fixe tel que le montant mural 22, tandis que l'extrémité opposée du corps du vérin 44 est en butée contre un coulisseau 30 de l'écran 4.In fig.7, the screen 4 is equipped on the one hand with a means 40 for damping its downward movement, and on the other hand with means 42 for locking in the high position. The damping means 40 is a gas cylinder 44, the pressure of which is slightly less than the weight of the screen 4, in order to allow aided assisted descent. The end of the rod of the jack 44 is in abutment against the rim of the bathtub 2 fixed in the slide 34 of a fixed element such as the wall upright 22, while the opposite end of the body of the jack 44 is in abutment against a slide 30 of the screen 4.
Les fig.8 et 9 sont un même détail de la fig.7 représentant les moyens 42 de blocage en position haute de l'écran. Ceux-ci sont composés d'une part du coulisseau 30 supérieur dont est doté l'écran 4, ledit coulisseau 30 étant cylindrique et évidé, et d'au¬ tre part d'un doigt 46 cylindrique diamétralement expansible qui s'insère en contact étroit dans 1'évidement du coulis¬ seau 30. Le doigt 46 est solidaire d'un support 48 fixé au moyen d'une vis sur l'élément solidaire du mur, tel que le montant mural 22, et comporte d'une part axialement en son extrémité supérieure un trou fileté 50 destiné à sa liaison avec une vis 52 à tête fraisée introduite par son orifice inférieur, et d'autre part un évidement 54 axial conique en son extrémité inférieure destiné à loger au moins partiellement la tête de la vis 52. L'expansion du doigt 46 est obtenue et réglée au moyen de l'insertion de la tête de la vis 52 dans l'évidement. Le coulisseau 30 est de préférence doté d'une fente 56 ménagée axialement sur sa périphérie en son extrémité supérieure pour faciliter la mise en oeuvre du blocage et du déblocage de l'écran 4.Fig.8 and 9 are the same detail in Fig.7 showing the means 42 for locking in the upper position of the screen. These are composed on the one hand of the upper slide 30 with which the screen 4 is provided, said slide 30 being cylindrical and hollow, and on the other hand of a diametrically expandable cylindrical finger 46 which is inserted in contact narrow in the recess of the coulis¬ bucket 30. The finger 46 is integral with a support 48 fixed by means of a screw on the element integral with the wall, such as the wall upright 22, and comprises on the one hand axially at its upper end a threaded hole 50 intended for its connection with a screw 52 with a countersunk head introduced by its lower orifice, and on the other hand a conical axial recess 54 at its lower end intended to accommodate at least partially the head of the screw 52. The expansion of the finger 46 is obtained and adjusted by means of the insertion of the head of the screw 52 into the recess. The slider 30 is preferably provided with a slot 56 formed axially on its periphery at its upper end to facilitate the implementation of the locking and unlocking of the screen 4.
Les fig.10 et 11 sont une re¬ présentation d'une autre forme de réalisation des moyens 40 d'amortissement utilisée de préférence pour les écrans 4 de faible poids. Le coulisseau 30 est un cône expansible dont le diamètre d le plus grand est situé en son extrémité inférieure, l'expansion tendant à rendre le diamètre d légèrement supérieur à celui de la glissière 34 à l'inté¬ rieur de laquelle il circule. Une vis 58 à tête fraisée pénètre à l'intérieur du coulisseau 30 par l'orifice infé¬ rieur de 1 ' évidement dont il est doté. Le coulisseau 30 incorpore axialement en son autre extrémité un insert fileté 60 dans lequel se visse la vis, et comporte en son extrémité inférieure une fente 62 axiale ménagée sur sa périphérie pour faciliter son expansion. La conformation conique de la tête de la vis 58 règle, en fonction du degré de péné- gration de celleci dans 1' évidement du coulisseau 30, l'ex¬ pansion de l'extrémité inférieure de celui-ci. D'où il résulte, d'une part que l'arête 62 formée par la circon¬ férence du dit diamètre d constitue un frein de l'écran 4 dans son mouvement de descente, et d'autre part que ladite expansion agit peu sur le mouvement de montée de l'écran 4.Fig.10 and 11 are a re¬ presentation of another embodiment of the damping means 40 preferably used for screens 4 of low weight. The slider 30 is an expandable cone, the largest diameter d of which is located at its lower end, the expansion tending to make the diameter d slightly greater than that of the slide 34 inside which it circulates. A screw 58 with a countersunk head penetrates inside the slide 30 through the lower orifice of the recess with which it is provided. Slide 30 incorporates axially at its other end a threaded insert 60 into which the screw is screwed, and comprises at its lower end an axial slot 62 formed on its periphery to facilitate its expansion. The conical conformation of the head of the screw 58 adjusts, as a function of the degree of penetration of this in the recess of the slide 30, the expansion of the lower end of the latter. Hence it results, on the one hand that the edge 62 formed by the circumference of said diameter d constitutes a brake of the screen 4 in its downward movement, and on the other hand that said expansion acts little on the upward movement of the screen 4.
Enfin, bien que la forme pré¬ férée de réalisation de l'invention mette en oeuvre des moyens connus de l'art antérieur et bien que l'on ait décrit et représenté une forme préférée de réalisation, il doit être compris que la portée de la présente invention n'est pas limitée à cette forme mais qu'elle s'étend à tout dis¬ positif comportant les caractéristiques énoncées plus haut. Finally, although the preferred embodiment of the invention implements means known from the prior art and although a preferred embodiment has been described and shown, it should be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to this form but that it extends to any positive device comprising the characteristics set out above.
