Definitions

plastic material bathtubs Today there is the use of manufacturing plastic material bathtubs (such as disclosed in the DE-A-2702295) for reasons of low cost and easy working.
the process used to be followed is that of vacuum thermoshaping through which a plastic material sheet, for example from methyl metacrylate, usually well stiff at ambient temperature as well as at the usual temperature of hot water in a bathtub, is heated to the softening point and laid down against a hollow mold by applying a vacuum at suitable points.
said modular shell structure is formed by an assembly of protruding and re-entring areas connected by ribs similar to the ribs sustaining a boat planking, which are formed by connecting surfaces between said protruding areas and said re-entring areas, said ribs being arranged in two substantially perpendicular groups each other intersecting in order to form a rectangular grid having substantially uniform members and having the duty of distributing the most uniformely the possible said strains.
a bathtub manufactured according to the tub 30, having ribbed shell 32 of figure 2.
Said tub surrounded and supported by a brick structure defined by the tiled walls 66 and 68, comprises a rectangular frame edge 94 from which descends a ribbed shell 96 provided with a first major raised band area 98 arranged according to the length of the tub, and with a second minor raised band area 100 substantially perpendicular with respect to the major band area 98, said band area 100 terminating with two planes 102a and 102b a little below the frame 94 operating as article supporting planes.
