Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Duschabtrennung aus mindestens zwei aus Glas oder Kunststoff bestehenden Wandseitenteilen, die jeweils rahmenlos gehalten und mittels mindestens eines Scharnieres (Scharnierbandes) gelenkig derart miteinander verbunden sind, daß ein Wandseitenteil als Dreh- oder Schwenktür ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a shower partition made of at least two glass or plastic wall side parts, each of which is held frameless and articulated by means of at least one hinge (hinge strap) such that a wall side part is designed as a rotating or pivoting door.

Bei derartigen Duschabtrennungen kann ein Wandseitenteil unmittelbar fest an der Raumwand oder an einem gesonderten festen Wandseitenteil angelenkt sein, das zwischen dem schwenkbaren Wandseitenteil und der Wand eingeschaltet ist.With such shower partitions, a wall side part can be directly articulated to the room wall or to a separate fixed wall side part which is switched on between the pivotable wall side part and the wall.

Es ist bekannt, das schwenkbare Wandseitenteil zum Ausgleich von Differenzen verschiebbar anzulenken, um u. a. damit auch Bautoleranzen auszugleichen. Hierbei ist es auch bekannt, die Schwenktür parallel an einem Wandseitenteil verschiebbar zu lagern. Dazu kann mindestens eine lösbare, in Verschieberichtung befestigte Führungsleiste vorgesehen sein, die auf der Innenseite und/oder auf der Außenseite jeweils der Wandseitenteile befestigt ist.It is known to articulate the pivotable wall side part to compensate for differences, u. a. thus also to compensate for construction tolerances. Here, it is also known to mount the swing door in parallel on a wall side part. For this purpose, at least one detachable guide strip fastened in the direction of displacement can be provided, which is fastened on the inside and / or on the outside of the wall side parts.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei derartigen Duschabtrennungen die Beschlagsausbildung zu vereinfachen, ohne dabei den Ausgleich von Differenzen zu beeinträchtigen.The object of the invention is to simplify the formation of fittings in such shower enclosures without impairing the compensation of differences.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist bei einer Duschabtrennung der vorgenannten Gattung zumindest eines der Wandelemente mit zumindest einem horizontalen Längsschlitz versehen ist, durch welche eine Schraube durchführbar ist.According to the invention, in a shower partition of the aforementioned type, at least one of the wall elements is provided with at least one horizontal longitudinal slot through which a screw can be passed.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das schwenkbare rahmenlose Wandseitenteil randseitig mit zwei oder mehr übereinander angeordneten horizontalen Längsschlitzen ausgestattet, in die wechselweise eine Befestigungsschraube je nach auszugleichender Differenz eingeschraubt ist, die wechselweise in Gewindebohrungen eingeschraubt ist, die im Scharnierband eingearbeitet sind.In a preferred embodiment, the pivotable frameless wall side part has two or more horizontal longitudinal slots arranged one above the other at the edge depending on the difference to be compensated, which is alternately screwed into threaded holes that are incorporated in the hinge band.

Durch derartige horizontale Längsschlitze ist es möglich, die von dem Scharnierband gehaltene rahmenlose Schwenktür stufenlos in ihrer Längsrichtung gegenüber dem feststehenden Wandseitenteil zu verschieben und einzuspannen.With such horizontal longitudinal slots, it is possible to move and clamp the frameless pivot door held by the hinge band continuously in its longitudinal direction with respect to the fixed wall side part.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind in dem Wandseitenteil als Schwenktür in deren SCharnierband mindestens zwei vorzugsweise drei oder mehr Gewindebohrungen eingearbeitet, in die wechselweise die Befestigungsschraube eingesetzt ist. Durch derartige Gewindebohrungen, die im Abstand in einer Reihe zueinander stehen, ist es möglich, neben der stufenlosen Verschiebung der Schwenktür auch eine vergrößerte stufenweise Verschiebung zum Grobausgleich von Differenzen zu erreichen. Längsschlitze ermöglichen zusätzlich die Feineinstellung der Schwenktür.In a preferred embodiment, at least two, preferably three or more threaded bores, into which the fastening screw is alternately inserted, are incorporated in the wall hinge part as a swing door in the hinge band thereof. By means of such threaded bores, which are spaced in a row from one another, it is possible, in addition to the infinitely variable displacement of the swing door, to achieve an increased incremental displacement for rough compensation of differences. Longitudinal slots also allow fine adjustment of the swing door.

Die lösbaren Befestigungsschrauben fassen jeweils in das Gewinde des gegenüberliegenden Scharnierbandteiles ein und verspannen damit die Wandseitenteile.The releasable fastening screws each engage in the thread of the opposite hinge band part and thus tension the wall side parts.

Dazu zeigt jedes Scharnierelement eine auf der diesem Scharnierelement gegenüberliegenden Seite des plattenförmigen Wandelementes angeordnete mit diesem Scharnierelement mittels Schrauben verbundene ScharnierplatteFor this purpose, each hinge element shows a hinge plate arranged on the side of the plate-shaped wall element opposite this hinge element and connected to this hinge element by means of screws

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further features of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

Der Schutz erstreckt sich nicht nur auf die Einzelmerkmale, sondern auch auf deren Kombination.The protection extends not only to the individual features, but also to their combination.

Mit (10) ist eine Duschtasse bezeichnet, die auf einem Raumboden aufgestellt ist, Als Duschabtrennung ist an einer Seite dieser Duschtasse (10) ein schmales, feststehendes Wandseitenteil (11) an der senkrechten Raumwand mittels Beschlägen (12) befestigt.(10) designates a shower tray that is set up on a room floor. A narrow, fixed wall side part (11) is attached to the vertical room wall by means of fittings (12) on one side of this shower tray (10) as a shower partition.

Ein daran sich anschließendes, rahmenloses Wandseitenteil (13) aus Glas ist mittels Scharnierbändern (14) an dem feststehenden Wandseitenteil (11) angelenkt, wobei mehrere Scharnierbänder (14) sich auf dessen Höhe übereinander zur guten Halterung der Schwenktür (13) verteilen.An adjoining, frameless wall side part (13) made of glass is hinged to the fixed wall side part (11) by means of hinge bands (14), with several hinge bands (14) being distributed one above the other for good retention of the pivoting door (13).

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein äußerer Scharnierlappen (15) des Scharnierbandes (14) mit zwei Gewindebohrungen (16 a, 16 b) ausgestattet und mittels Schrauben (17) an dem feststehenden Wandseitenteil (11) vorgespannt.In this embodiment, an outer hinge flap (15) of the hinge band (14) is equipped with two threaded bores (16 a, 16 b) and is pretensioned by means of screws (17) on the fixed side wall part (11).

Um die eingearbeitete Drehachse (18) dieses Scharnierlappens (14) dreht sich ein weiterer äußerer Scharnierlappen (19), der beispielsweise mit drei Gewindebohrungen (20 a, 20 b, 20 c) ausgestattet ist, durch die wechselweise eine lösbare Gewindeschraube (21) faßt.Around the incorporated axis of rotation (18) of this hinge flap (14) rotates another outer hinge flap (19), which is equipped, for example, with three threaded holes (20 a, 20 b, 20 c) through which alternately a releasable threaded screw (21) .

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gem. Fig. 4 faßt die Gewindeschraube (21) bei einem verlängerten Wandseitenteil in die äußere Bohrung (20 c), gem. Fig. 5 in die mittlere Bohrung (20 b) und gem. Fig. 6 in die innenseitige Bohrung (20 a), wobei jeweils die eingesetzte Gewindeschraube (21) durch einen Längsschlitz (22) der schwenkbaren rahmenlosen Glasscheibe als Wandseitenteil (13) faßt.In the embodiment according to Fig. 4 summarizes the threaded screw (21) with an extended wall side part in the outer bore (20 c), according to. Fig. 5 in the middle hole (20 b) and gem. Fig. 6 in the inside bore (20 a), each of the threaded screw (21) through a longitudinal slot (22) of the pivotable frameless glass pane as a wall side part (13).

In dem inneren duschenseitigen Scharnierlappen (23) als Gegenplatte des schwenkbaren Scharnierteils (19) sind drei, den Kopf der Schraube (21) wechselweise aufnehmende Bohrungen (25 a, 25 b, 25 c) eingearbeitet, während auf dem Vorderteil des Scharnierlappens (19) (Außenseitenteil) drei Gewinde (26 a, 26 b, 26 c) nebeneinander eingearbeitet sind.In the inner shower-side hinge flap (23) as counter plate of the pivotable hinge part (19), three bores (25 a, 25 b, 25 c) alternately receiving the head of the screw (21) are machined, while on the front part of the hinge flap (19) (Outside part) three threads (26 a, 26 b, 26 c) are worked in side by side.

Im Randbereich des rahmenlosen Wandseitenteils (13) sind als wesentlicher Teil der Erfindung übereinander Längsschlitze (22) eingearbeitet, welche die Möglichkeit geben, den Scharnierlappen (19) einerseits und die Glasscheibe als Wandseitenteil (13) andererseits bei eingesetzter Schraube (21) gegeneinander stufenlos zu verschieben. Damit läßt sich diese Glasscheibe allen kleineren Längs-Differenzen anpassen.In the edge region of the frameless wall side part (13), as an essential part of the invention, longitudinal slots (22) are incorporated one above the other, which enable the hinge flap (19) on the one hand and the glass pane as the wall side part (13) on the other hand to be infinitely variable when the screw (21) is inserted move. This glass pane can thus be adapted to all smaller longitudinal differences.

Da diese Längsschlitze (22) auch in ihrem Querdurchmesser größer sind als der Durchmesser der eingesteckten Gewindeschraube, so kann auch eine gewisse Verstellung der Glasscheibe (13) in der Höhe vorgenommen werden.Since these longitudinal slots (22) are also larger in their transverse diameter than the diameter of the threaded screw inserted, a certain height adjustment of the glass pane (13) can also be carried out.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gem. Fig. 4 ist die Glasscheibe nur kurz eingespannt, da sich der Längsschlitz (22) im Bereich der einen Bohrung (20 c) befindet.In the embodiment according to Fig. 4, the glass pane is clamped only briefly, since the longitudinal slot (22) is in the area of one bore (20 c).

Bei dem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel gem. Fig. 6 ist dagegen die Glasscheibe verhältnismäßig weit eingespannt, da der Längsschlitz (22) im Bereich der äußeren Bohrung (20 a) liegt. Die freie Fläche der schwenkbaren Glasscheibe ist dadurch verkleinert.In the other embodiment according to Fig. 6, however, the glass pane is clamped relatively far, since the longitudinal slot (22) is in the region of the outer bore (20 a). This reduces the free area of the swiveling glass pane.

Die Scharnierlappen zeigen vorzugsweise äußere Blendleisten (27), welche die Gewindebohrungen (16) bzw. (20) nach außen abdecken. Diese bilden einerseits Sichtblenden und verhindern andererseits eine Verschmutzung der Gewindebohrungen bzw. der Längsschlitze.The hinge tabs preferably have outer cover strips (27) which cover the threaded bores (16) and (20) to the outside. On the one hand, these form screens and, on the other hand, prevent contamination of the threaded bores or the longitudinal slots.

Die Erfindung beschreibt somit eine Duschabtrennung für eine Duschwanne mit zumindest zwei aus Glas oder Kunststoff bestehenden Wandelementen (11, 13). Die Wandelemente (11, 13) sind jeweils rahmenlos ausgebildet und werden mittels zumindest eines Scharnieres, üblicherweise mittels zweier Scharniere (14) gelenkig miteinander verbunden. Jedes der Scharniere (14) umfaßt zwei mittels einer Drehachse (28) miteinander verbundene Scharnierelemente (15, 19). Die einzelnen Scharnierelemente sind jeweils mittels zumindest einer Schraube (21), welche das jeweilige Wandelement (11, 13) durchdringt, mit dem jeweiligen Wandelement verbunden. Zur Befestigung der Schraube weist jedes der Scharnierelementemehrere Gewindebohrungen (20) auf.The invention thus describes a shower partition for a shower tray with at least two wall elements (11, 13) made of glass or plastic. The wall elements (11, 13) are each frameless and are articulated to one another by means of at least one hinge, usually by means of two hinges (14). Each of the hinges (14) comprises two hinge elements (15, 19) interconnected by means of an axis of rotation (28). The individual hinge elements are each connected to the respective wall element by means of at least one screw (21) which penetrates the respective wall element (11, 13). Each of the hinge elements has a plurality of threaded bores (20) for fastening the screw.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind an dem Scharnierelement (19) drei derartige Gewindebohrungen (20a, 20b, 20c) vorgesehen, welche zueinander beabstandet horizontal nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Da erfindungsgemäß das Wandelement mit einem horizontalen Längsschlitz (22) versehen ist, ist es möglich, das Wandelement nach Lockerung der Schraube (21) in horizontaler Richtung über die Länge des Längsschlitzes (22) zu verschieben, um auf diese Weise eine exakte Anspassung der horizontalen Ausrichtung des Wandelementes zu erreichen. Falls die durch die Länge des Längsschlitzes (22) mögliche Anspassung nicht ausreicht, kann die Schraube (21) in eine der anderen Gewindebohrunge umgesetzt werden.In the exemplary embodiment shown, three such threaded bores (20a, 20b, 20c) are provided on the hinge element (19) and are spaced apart horizontally next to one another. Since, according to the invention, the wall element is provided with a horizontal longitudinal slot (22), it is possible to move the wall element after loosening the screw (21) in the horizontal direction over the length of the longitudinal slot (22), in order in this way to adjust the horizontal exactly To achieve alignment of the wall element. If the adjustment possible due to the length of the longitudinal slot (22) is not sufficient, the screw (21) can be implemented in one of the other threaded holes.

Die Erfindung bietet somit die Möglichkeit, die Wandelemente in horizontaler Richtung exakt auszurichten und zu positionieren. Bei dem in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei Scharniere (14) vorgesehen. Daraus ergibt sich, daß im Bereich jedes Scharnieres ein entsprechender Längsschlitz (22) in dem Wandelement vorgesehen ist. Anstelle der separaten Scharniere, wie in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigt, kann erfindungsgemäß auch ein durchgehendes Scharnierband verwendet werden.The invention thus offers the possibility of precisely aligning and positioning the wall elements in the horizontal direction. In the embodiment shown in the figures, two hinges (14) are provided. This means that a corresponding longitudinal slot (22) is provided in the wall element in the area of each hinge. Instead of the separate hinges, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a continuous hinge band can also be used according to the invention.

Weiterhin ist es erfindungsgemäß möglich, mehrere zusätzliche horizontale Längsschlitze (22) und zugeordnete Schrauben (21) vorzusehen, beispielsweise kann bei separaten Scharnieren, wie in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigt, jeweils übereinander angeordnet eine doppelte Ausführung der Längsschlitze und Schrauben verwendet werden, um die mechanische Festigkeit zu erhöhen.Furthermore, it is possible according to the invention to provide a plurality of additional horizontal longitudinal slots (22) and associated screws (21), for example in the case of separate hinges, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a double design of the longitudinal slots and screws arranged one above the other can be used, to increase the mechanical strength.
