Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower cubicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a shower cabin is commercially available and has a flat shower tray over a square floor plan, in which two adjoining sides are extended in one piece by a structure up to the total height of the shower cabin.
  • This structure forms a niche, which according to one embodiment is closed by a cabinet door.
  • a high, narrow cabinet which can be rotated about its vertical axis is installed in the niche, one side of which forms a high, continuous storage space designed with a mirror, while the opposite side has a plurality of stacked, open receiving spaces for receiving of toilet articles and the like, a folding seat and a closable by a flap storage space for a waste container.
  • the known shower cubicle also has a transparent folding door on its two free sides, which are used for access.
  • This known shower cubicle has the advantage that there is the possibility of accommodating shower utensils and a bathrobe inside the cubicle.
  • a disadvantage is the fact that the shower cubicle ultimately consists of a single fitting, in which matching parts, such as the folding doors and the revolving cabinet, are used.
  • An adaptation of the known shower cabin to existing installation dimensions is not possible. It is also very complex to manufacture shower cubicles with different dimensions, since complex shapes have to be produced for each changed size.
  • the known shower cubicle can only be used in the right-angled corner of a room.
  • the known shower cubicle is not suitable for other types of installation, such as between the end of a bathtub and a wall, or only leaning against the wall on one side, for example adjacent to a bathtub.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop the known shower cabin mentioned at the outset in such a way that, while preserving its advantages, it can be better adapted to the different conditions which exist in different bathrooms, particularly in those in which previously the known shower cubicle often could not be set up.
  • the shower cubicle according to the invention is not necessarily manufactured and supplied as a piece of furniture ready for installation, as is known, but, if desired, can only be assembled and fitted on site.
  • the number, type and location of the corner pillars can be optimized depending on the circumstances.
  • a square floor plan is preferred, as is also found in most shower trays available on the market. It is only essential that the shower cubicle according to the invention has a corner at that point at which a corner column is to be erected.
  • the corner pillar in turn has storage spaces, as it had the known rotatable hollow body.
  • the corner pillar has a considerably larger volume than the hollow body of the known shower cubicle, considerably more shower utensils can be accommodated inside the corner pillar.
  • corner pillars can ultimately be used as the floor plan has corners, insofar as there is sufficient space between two adjacent corner pillars for attaching a door. It is therefore possible to assign an extraordinarily large storage space to the shower cubicle. Since the corner pillars only the outermost corners of the shower cubicle with their inner walls cut, the corner pillars of the interior of the shower cubicle available for the showering process are not reduced in any way, in contrast to the known shower cubicle, in which the complex and bulky rear wall structure claimed a considerable portion of the interior of the shower cubicle.
  • the shower cabin according to the invention finds its preferred installation against a bathroom wall, preferably in a corner of the bathroom.
  • a bathroom wall preferably in a corner of the bathroom.
  • one, two or more side walls of the shower cubicle can be replaced by a corresponding wall of the bathroom.
  • the corner pillar is arranged in this case so that it lies with one of its outer surfaces against the bathroom wall, while the other of the outer surfaces protrudes from the bathroom wall, in the case of a rectangular plan of the shower cabin vertically.
  • the outer surface of the corner column protruding from the bathroom wall is thus accessible from the bathroom.
  • This outer surface can now be designed according to the needs of the adjacent facilities: if this outer surface is arranged, for example, next to the toilet of the bathroom, a toilet paper holder can be integrated into the outer surface.
  • the outer surface can also have a handle, as will be explained in more detail below, in order to make it easier for old or disabled people to get in and out of a bathtub adjacent to the corner column, for example. Such actions are discussed in more detail below.
  • the outer surface can also have clothes hooks, towel racks or the like.
  • doors, flaps, drawers or the like can be arranged in the accessible outer wall of the corner column, through which the inside of the shower cubicle can be arranged accessible storage spaces are also accessible from the outside. So it is possible, for example, that someone who has put his glasses in a storage space in the corner column while showering and forgot to take them with him when leaving the shower cubicle can get directly to these glasses or other utensils without having to enter the shower cubicle.
  • the corner column according to the invention in this corner when the shower cabin is set up in the corner of the bathroom.
  • the storage space inside the corner pillar can be designed, for example, as a cupboard that can be closed with a door that forms a splash guard and that serves to hold a bathrobe. It is also possible to provide shelves for soap and all sorts of utensils, if necessary splashproof.
  • a shower cubicle with two corner columns located opposite one another.
  • the particular advantage of this configuration is that the corner pillars themselves, which form the supporting elements, can be used to strike a door, so that the frame required for the side walls can be held very easily.
  • the shower cubicle preferably has a square or rectangular layout.
  • the floor plan can also be polygonal, with at least one corner of the floor plan lying between two adjacent corner pillars in accordance with the above-mentioned configuration, in order to ensure easy access.
  • a seat that can be folded outward can then be arranged, which can also be used as a footrest for the pedicure.
  • two corner columns are provided which delimit a side wall of the shower cabin on both sides.
  • This arrangement is also advantageous;
  • one of the corner pillars can have non-splash-proof storage spaces that are open to the interior of the shower cubicle and are set up to hold soap, massage brushes, shower accessories and the like, while the other corner pillar can be locked like a cupboard by a door or separate, splash-proof Can have storage spaces to accommodate towels, bathrobes or the like.
  • the corner pillar advantageously borders a door opening with a side edge. It is thus possible, through the open door of the shower cubicle, to take utensils out of those shelves of the corner column which are only accessible from the interior of the shower cubicle, without having to be entered.
  • such a door is designed as a folding door and hinged on that side of the door opening which is opposite the side delimited by the corner column.
  • the door When the door is opened, it is folded up and pivoted about its stop hinge, the folded door always being arranged at such a point, where it doesn't block access to the corner pillar. The same applies if the folding door opens outwards.
  • the folding door is arranged in a frame which in turn can be pivoted and which can be pivoted when the folding door is open in such a way that it opens access to the corner pillar.
  • the folding door which is normally formed from two wings, has an additional, preferably third wing, which is designed as an empty frame, which is dimensioned such that it just the contour of the inner wall of the corner column surrounds.
  • This frame is attached to the inside of the shower cubicle on the side of the corner pillar that faces away from the door opening delimited by this.
  • the empty, third frame lies in front of the inside surface of the corner column, while the two leaflets close the door opening. If the door is opened, the two leaflets are folded back onto the empty frame and this is pivoted around its hinge so that it lies against the inside of a side wall of the shower cubicle with the leaflets and gives access to the corner column.
  • the door of the shower cubicle is designed as a sliding door, the door panel or the foldable door panels optionally being able to be moved along a corner column along the inner wall of the shower cubicle in such a way that access to the corner column remains open when the door is open .
  • the shower base has a recess receiving the corner pillar and the corner pillar in turn on the Bathroom floor sits on. It is possible to use consistently high corner pillars, regardless of the height of the shower base, which varies according to customer requirements.
  • a threshold which is sealed off from the floor on the underside of the side walls, the underside of the corner column being included in the seal.
  • the threshold can either run around the inside of the corner pillar or the corner pillar itself can be designed to seal against the floor.
  • the particular advantage of this arrangement is not only that the relatively low threshold e.g. does not pose any obstacle when driving over with a wheelchair or when entering the shower cabin by people with walking difficulties, but it is also possible to practically reach the floor, i.e. up to the threshold to use lowered doors that open to the inside of the shower cubicle.
  • the interior of the corner pillar can be used for storage purposes and to accommodate bathroom furnishings across their entire height.
  • the bottom section of the corner pillar is relatively difficult to access, it is designed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention as a base, which then preferably if a shower base is used with the upper edge flush.
  • This base can be used to house facilities to which access is rarely required, such as to house stopcocks or the like.
  • devices for conveying the shower water can be accommodated in the base or in the lower part of the corner pillar, for example for conveying away the waste water or for heating and filtering or treating the pumped-over shower water.
  • the corner column can contain wet storage spaces, that is to say those storage spaces which are open to the interior of the shower cabin during use, and dry storage spaces which are protected against splashing water. It is also possible to make the dry and wet storage spaces accessible from the outside of the corner pillar, but the wet storage spaces are provided with a cover which prevents splash water from escaping.
  • the corner pillar is formed only by a supporting inner wall, which rises above the base of the triangle forming its outline.
  • Triangular shelves are arranged one above the other on this load-bearing wall, the outer edges of which form the outer sides of the corner pillar.
  • the wet storage spaces are preferably provided with inlays which can be removed for cleaning.
  • a dry storage space can also be used as a drawer, for example forms, which can be removed both to the outside and to the inside of the corner column.
  • the corner pillar can carry a handle on its inside and / or outside.
  • This handle can either be designed as an attached, handrail-like or handrail-like handle that extends vertically or horizontally, or can be formed as a web material that remains between two adjacent recesses in the outer or inner wall of the corner column, which is also horizontal or can run vertically.
  • shower fittings and the shower itself can also be accommodated in the corner column; this is particularly advantageous if the supply connections for the shower cubicle according to the invention are not available at suitable locations or if the shower cubicle according to the invention as a finished structural unit, e.g. is delivered when a new building is erected.
  • the corner column can carry a folding seat, which can be arranged not only on the outside, as mentioned above, but also, as in the known shower cubicle, on the inside.
  • the folding seat can simultaneously form a splash guard cover for a dry storage space inside the corner column, in which, for example, utensils for foot care can be accommodated.
  • the corner pillar and its accessories, the drawers, covers, doors and the like, are preferably injection molded or deep-drawn from plastic, with metal profiles being able to be injected into the corner pillar or stiffening on the outside for this purpose file can form.
  • corner pillar from plates which are held together by means of angle profiles at the corners of the corner pillar.
  • the top of the corner column can close flat and is preferably closed.
  • this upper side is chamfered at a steeply sloping angle, which is preferably approximately 70 ° with respect to the horizontal, so that the corner pillar is closed on its upper side by a strongly sloping inclined surface. In this way, dust or the like is prevented from settling on the difficult to access upper side of the corner column.
  • the corner pillar as a kit which, e.g. is composed of different side and inner walls or wall sections, which in turn can be assembled into desired corner pillars.
  • a kit which, e.g. is composed of different side and inner walls or wall sections, which in turn can be assembled into desired corner pillars.
  • a shower cubicle which has a shower tray 1 with a relatively high edge, which has a square plan.
  • the shower tray 1 is surrounded by three side walls 2 and a swing door 3, which extends over the entire height of the shower cabin and thus opens to the outside.
  • the side walls 2 do not extend over the entire edge length of the shower base 1, but only up to a corner pillar 4, which each have two outer walls 5 and one inner wall 6.
  • the corner pillar 4 lying at the rear in the drawing is designed such that it sits on the upper edge of the shower tray 1, while the corner pillar 4 shown on the right in the figure is designed such that it sits on the floor. Accordingly, the shower tray has a cutout (not visible in the drawing) in its edge.
  • the corner pillar 4 in the drawing has a wet storage space 7 which is accessible from the inside of the shower cubicle and is divided by individual compartments 8. Furthermore, the shower with a shower head 9 and fittings 10 is integrated in this corner column 4.
  • the other corner column 4 has dry storage spaces which are accessible from the inside of the shower cubicle, but can be covered by flaps (which cannot be seen in the drawing). These dry storage spaces can be reached from the outside of the corner pillar 4 by flaps 11 which are arranged in the outer surface 5.
  • FIG. 2 Two different, further embodiments of a corner column 4 are shown in FIG. 2.
  • the corner pillar has no storage spaces accessible from the outside and is each provided on the upper side with a bevel 13 which forms a steep, sloping surface that slopes down like a roof.
  • the outer edge 14 formed between the two outer surfaces 5 is sharp-edged or slightly rounded in the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 2b to 2d, while in the embodiment in FIG. 2a it is sharply chamfered or broken.
  • a vertical handle 12 is placed on the broken outer edge 14.
  • a handle 12 is formed in that two superimposed incisions, separated by the handle 12, are made in the two outer surfaces 5 of the corner pillar 4.
  • the handle 12 is formed by two horizontally adjacent incisions, which are each made in each of the two side surfaces 5.
  • two vertically extending handles are placed from the outside at the same height each on one of the two side surfaces 5.
