Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a base of standardizable type, suitably equipped and adapted to receive bath tubs of different sizes and, especially, bath tubs provided with a hydromassage system.
  • the bath tubs which are manufactured with an outer shape very adherent to the internal one, are commonly housed in housings conforming to the architectural requisites of the room within which they are installed.
  • a very simple and common method to form those housings is that of building around the bath tub masonry works which are suitably finished with facing material having the aesthetic properties as required by said room. If the bath tub is of common type, this usual type of facing may be sufficient since, especially with recent types of tubs manufactured with materials which are scarcely subjected to corrosion and scaling, it is rather unprobable that it is necessary to have acces to the space between the tub and the outer facing to carry out substitution, repair or maintenance operation.
  • This system is provided by the present invention by using a supporting frame formed by elongated metal members, such as profhiles or pipes having a restricted series of fixed lenghts, joined by couplings or fittings which are certainly connectable to each other by means such as couplings, and a system for the water recirculation comprising a pump and suction and delivery ducts of fixed dimensions connectable to at least a suction fitting and at least a hydromassage fitting, respectively, by means of flexible and of adjustable lenght couplings, in order to fully adapt the water recirculation system to the bath tub.
  • a system for the water recirculation comprising a pump and suction and delivery ducts of fixed dimensions connectable to at least a suction fitting and at least a hydromassage fitting, respectively, by means of flexible and of adjustable lenght couplings, in order to fully adapt the water recirculation system to the bath tub.
  • said frame is formed by elongated members, horizontally positioned to form a tub rectangular support, connected at their corners by joining elements like pipe fittings of the type suitable to fit the members of the rectangular support and a post, each of said posts, being vertically positioned and acting as a support leg of the horizontally positioned members, said posts being coupled to foot elements which in turn are engaged with longitudinal members or ground abutments, having the purpose of keeping the feet correctly spaced and of connecting together the vertical posts to prevent them from being spread apart.
  • the recirculation pump comprises its own supporting frame anchored to the tub frame and provided with at least a floor bearing foot.
  • the said equipped base consists of a supporting frame 10 comprising metal members, such as profiles, or pipes 12 joined together by suitable joints or weldings, said frame 12 forming an essentially rectangular supporting system 13 for an upper plane 14 of a bath tub 16 from which posts 18a-18d are vertically directed and connected to two longitudinal members 20a,20b for the abutment onto the floor ending with feet 22a-22d, said posts 18a-18d being connected to said members 12 by triple fitting joints 19a-19d and to said longitudinal members 20a, 20b, by means of the said feet, 22a-22d, provided with connecting joints.
  • a supporting frame 10 comprising metal members, such as profiles, or pipes 12 joined together by suitable joints or weldings
  • said frame 12 forming an essentially rectangular supporting system 13 for an upper plane 14 of a bath tub 16 from which posts 18a-18d are vertically directed and connected to two longitudinal members 20a,20b for the abutment onto the floor ending with feet 22a-22d, said posts 18a-18d being connected to said members 12 by triple fitting joints 19a-19d
  • a leadery small frame 24 is abutted against said frame 10 and consists of two cross-pieces 24a, 24b, connected for example to the foot 22d and to the longitudinal member 20b, and ending with two abutting feet 26a and 26b, it serving as a support for a group consisting of a motor 28 and of a water recirculation pump 30 to produce the desired hydromassage.
  • Said pump 30 is provided with a suction duct 32 connected to a discharging and suction fitting 34 positioned under a discharge outlet 36 of the tub 16, said fitting 34 also receiving an overflow discharge duct 38 connected to an overflow 40.
  • a delivery duct 42 extends, it being divided into two branches 44 and 46 provided with fittings 48a-48C and 50a-50C , respectively, of which the connection fittings 48a-48c , connected to hydromassage fittings 52a-52c, are seen.
  • the posts 18a-18b are provided with brackets 54a-54d adapted to support panels such as the panel 56 by which the outer lining of the tub housing is completed, and elastic members or leaf springs 58a-58d serving to keep said panels 56 engaged between a lower edge 60 of the tub rim and the said brackets 54a-54d, so as to complete and aesthetically finish the tub with respect to the floor 62 and to the walls 64 and 66 of the room.
