Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bowl-shaped element, in particular to a shower tray or tub.
  • shower trays, tubs and similar bowl-shaped elements can currently be designed as drawn or pressed, enamelled parts made of steel.
  • Such shower trays or tubs made of steel have sufficient stability to carry people, but special measures are required to reduce noise.
  • the metal removes the heat from the water relatively quickly, so that the water temperature, for example in a sheet metal tub, drops considerably in a short time.
  • shower cups formed from acrylic are also known as deep-drawn parts. Plastic is a poor heat conductor and is perceived as warm by a user. However, such deep-drawn shower trays or tubs have a relatively small plate thickness, which cannot achieve sufficient stability for carrying a person.
  • the required stability is achieved in that a reinforcing plate made of pressed wood is placed on the underside of the shower tray or acrylic plate.
  • the pressed wood panel is a ground material that is mixed with synthetic resin and results in a so-called medium-density or high-density panel, ie a medium-density or high-density fiberboard. These fibreboards are connected with a mixture of short polyester fibers and polyester resin, which is sprayed onto the underside of the shower base.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide bowl-shaped elements, such as shower trays or tubs, which are harmless to health, easy to recycle and soundproofed without additional measures.
  • this object is achieved in the case of a shell-shaped element of the type mentioned at the outset in that it is designed as a plastic injection-molded part and has an injection-molded material thickness which is designed for carrying persons on or in the element.
  • a bowl-shaped element according to the invention especially in the case of a shower tray or tub designed according to the invention, no further materials and work are required in order to achieve sufficient stability.
  • the additional use of health-endangering reinforcing materials that was previously necessary, for example, in shower trays made from deep-drawn plastic sheets is no longer required.
  • these materials no longer have to be separated, which - if at all - would only be possible with considerable effort.
  • the fact that training as a plastic injection molded part is provided, there are hardly any limits to the shape and the dimensions of the element.
  • a bowl-shaped element according to the invention can be provided with a relatively large wall thickness. If the element has a material thickness that gives it the desired stability, this also causes the required noise insulation.
  • the shell-shaped element is preferably formed from a single material. This considerably simplifies recycling and recyclability.
  • the shell-shaped element is designed as a two-channel injection molded part. Such parts can have very large material thicknesses.
  • the shell-shaped element preferably has injection-molded reinforcing ribs on its outside.
  • the size of the deformation and the stress on the shell-shaped element can be reduced in a simple manner, the recyclability not being impaired, since the reinforcing ribs consist of the same material as the rest of the shell-shaped element.
  • the bowl edge can be aligned horizontally and, with the bowl edge aligned horizontally, the floor slopes towards the water drain.
  • a shell-shaped element with a peripheral wall which extends transversely to the bottom thereof and with an outer edge which encloses the end of the peripheral wall facing away from the bottom and in turn extends transversely therefrom to the base wall. extends towards the opposite side, in a further preferred embodiment of the invention the outer edge slopes towards the peripheral wall.
  • the upper side of the base facing the peripheral wall preferably has raised surfaces, which in turn are provided with a raised structure to achieve a predetermined roughness.
  • This measure significantly increases the slip resistance in the inside of a shower base. Due to the design as an injection molded part, this raised structure can be injected directly onto the raised surfaces during the production of the shell-shaped element, so that no increased effort is caused. In the case of the previously known shell-shaped elements designed as deep-drawn parts, raised surfaces can also be drawn into the floor, but their surface remains smooth. There is therefore no effective slip resistance in the prior art.
  • devices for placing the element on a base are molded onto the underside of the base facing away from the peripheral wall.
  • These set-up devices can be used to set the element directly on the ground or, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, can be designed to accommodate support aids. In the latter case, the set-up devices provide suitable points of attack for assembly aids, so that, on the one hand, the installation of shower trays or tubs is simplified and, on the other hand, their secure mounting is ensured during assembly or in the long term.
  • the installation devices are particularly preferably sleeve-shaped, and very particularly preferably the outer peripheral surface of the installation device runs to free conical end facing away from the floor.
  • a plug connection can be formed in a simple manner.
  • the element is square and in each case an installation device is arranged in the corners and one in the center of the floor.
  • reinforcing ribs each extend from the installation device to the installation device, more favorable load transfer is achieved.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of a shower tray designed according to the invention, with standing devices and reinforcing ribs arranged on the underside of the shower tray being shown with dashed lines;
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows a partial top view of the shower tray from FIG. 1, a possible structuring of the step surface of the shower tray being shown;
  • Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view taken along line VV in Fig. 4;
  • Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in Fig. 4 and
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view along line VII-VII in FIG. 4.
  • a shower tray 1 is shown in the figures as an exemplary embodiment of a bowl-shaped element according to the invention. It is designed as an injection molded part and consists of a single plastic material, preferably acrylic, polystyrene impact resistant or polypropylene.
  • the shower tray 1 is square and has a base 2 with a water drain 3, which is arranged in a corner region of the base 2, and a peripheral wall 4 surrounding the base 2, which extends upwards when the shower tray 1 is installed, and an outer edge 5, which extends from the upper end 6 of the peripheral wall 4 in the transverse direction to the side facing away from the bottom 2.
  • the material thickness of the shower tray 1 is designed so that no further reinforcements are necessary to ensure the required stability.
  • 9 mm can be selected as the material thickness, the shower base 1 then being designed as a two-channel injection molded part.
  • the base 2 is inclined towards the water outlet 3 with respect to the outer edge 5 which is horizontally oriented in the circumferential direction, ie the distance of the base 2 from the upper edge of the outer edge 5 is greater in the vicinity of the water outlet 3 than on the opposite side of the floor 2.
  • the distance from the top 7 of the floor 2, the so-called tread, to the upper edge of the outer edge 5 for the water drain 3 could be 70 mm, while on the opposite side of the floor 2 it was only 60 mm.
  • a multiplicity of raised surfaces 8 are injected into the tread surface 7, which concentrically around are arranged around the water drain 3.
  • a surface structure can be injected into the raised surfaces 8, which considerably increases the surface roughness of the tread surface 7 and thereby significantly reduces the risk of slipping.
  • sleeve-shaped projections 10 are injection-molded in one piece (FIGS. 1 and 2), which can serve for the direct installation of the shower tray 1 on a base, which can also be provided for assembly and / or mounting devices.
  • the inner diameter 11 of the sleeves 10 is constant in each case.
  • the outer peripheral surface 12 of the sleeves 10, on the other hand, is slightly conical in shape, the outer diameter being downward, i.e. reduced to the side facing away from the tread surface 7. This makes it easier to insert these sleeves 10 into an assembly / mounting device.
  • the sleeves 10 are provided on their outer circumferential surface 12 with a nose 13 extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, which can engage in a correspondingly designed groove in assembly / mounting devices in order to prevent their twisting relative to the shower base 1.
  • the optimal location of the support can be predetermined by the sleeve-shaped projections 10.
  • the arrangement of these projections 10 is variable and can be optimally adapted to the requirements.
  • the projections 10 also prevent the mounting / mounting devices from slipping sideways relative to the shower tray 1.
  • these sleeve-shaped projections 10 are formed, one being arranged on the left and right of the water drain 3 and the remaining four projections 10 being provided in the three remaining corner regions and in the center of the floor.
  • the material thickness is increased in a ring around the sleeves 10 on the underside 9 of the base 2, in order to reduce stress peaks here, which can result from forces introduced by an assembly / holding device, and on the other hand to form a contact surface 14 for such mounting / mounting devices.
  • Reinforcing ribs 15 are also injection molded onto the underside 9 of the base 2 and run diagonally from the sleeve-shaped projection 10 arranged in the center of the base to the corner regions, i.e. towards the water drain 3 and towards the three sleeves 10 arranged in the remaining corner areas.
  • the peripheral wall 4 of the shower tray 1 extends from the floor 2 upwards with an inclination outwards to the side facing away from the floor 2. From the upper end 6 of the circumferential wall 4, the outer edge 5 extends transversely to the outside and has a slope towards the circumferential wall 4 or the floor 2. As a result, water running down from a shower cubicle wall or a shower curtain can run off from the outer edge 5 and does not remain there. At its outer end, the outer edge 5 also has a short, downwardly extending section 16.
