Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lighting fixture for attachment above the partition walls or doors of shower enclosures.
  • the lighting of the shower area in bathrooms is usually unsatisfactorily solved, because in bathrooms often only central lighting is provided on the ceiling or in the area of mirrors in front of the sink. Subsequent installation of lighting fixtures in the shower area poses problems of electrical safety that can only be solved if specialist lighting fixtures are installed.
  • the present invention has for its object to propose a lighting fixture for attachment above the partitions or doors of shower enclosures, which is aimed at the special requirements of shower enclosures and enables particularly uniform and effective lighting.
  • the lighting fixture is designed as an elongated, flat lighting fixture in a shape which is adapted to the course of a shower partition, that in its width extension it covers the shower partition at the top and transversely inwards and / or has outwardly projecting collar portion which is equipped with lights, the beam directions of which are directed downwards.
  • Such a lighting fixture has the great advantage that it can be installed at a point where it does not interfere and enables particularly effective lighting both of the interior and outside of the shower enclosure, or one of the two, usually in conjunction with the transparent or translucent material existing shower screens special aesthetic lighting effects are possible.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lighting body is approximately T-shaped in cross section, the vertical T-leg is designed for attachment above the shower partition, and that the two horizontal legs form the collar section and are equipped with lights.
  • the shower partition can be illuminated from both sides by essentially vertically radiating lights.
  • the lighting fixture has an approximately inverted L-shape in cross section, the vertical L-leg is designed for attachment above the shower partition, and that the horizontal L-leg is equipped with lights and the shower partition to the outside or inside towered over as a collar section.
  • the shower partition can be illuminated from one side or the other. If the downward-facing lights are designed to be adjustable by a limited swivel angle, it is also possible to illuminate the area on the opposite side from one side of the shower partition, and in general targeted light effects can be produced.
  • the shape of the elongated, flat lighting fixture can be adapted to a wide variety of shower trays or shower partition forms. If it is a so-called corner circular shower, the lighting fixture has the shape of a quarter-circle arc with subsequent straight sections on both sides. If the shower partition has a straight shape, for example if it is arranged between two fixed walls with an intermediate shower tray, then that is Lighting fixture designed as an elongated, straight and flat lighting fixture. In the case of a square or rectangular shower tray with a corner entry for the shower partition, the lighting fixture would be L-shaped or angled with the corresponding leg lengths in accordance with the shower partition. In all cases, the shape of the lighting fixture is therefore adapted to the course of the shower partition, so that it can be arranged inconspicuously and not disruptively above the upper edge.
  • the lighting fixture according to the invention in a corresponding form, is only attached to the fixed room walls above the shower partition. If the shower partition has an upper support beam, the lighting fixture according to the invention expediently rests on the upper support beam and extends to the fixed walls, where it can be fastened. Finally, however, it is also possible to design the lighting fixture itself as the upper support beam of a shower partition, in which the lights and corresponding guide elements of the shower partition are integrated.
  • the lights installed in the lighting fixture are low-voltage lights, especially halogen lights. These lights are expediently distributed over the entire length of the lighting fixture in order to enable particularly uniform lighting.
  • a shower partition 2 placed on a shower tray 1 is shown schematically.
  • the shower tray 1 and the shower partition 2 are designed as a so-called corner shower, i.e. they are arranged in a corner between two room walls 4.
  • the shower partition 2 consists of two fixed partitions 2a (only one is shown in FIG. 1) and two pivoting doors 2b and 2c suspended from these fixed partitions 2a via hinges 10, which meet in the middle and lock against one another.
  • the shower partition is only attached to the room walls 4, so that no upper support beam is required.
  • the lighting fixture 3 is arranged above the shower partition 2 and in the present case is only fastened to the room walls 4 by wall brackets (not shown).
  • the lighting fixture 3 has an elongated, flat shape which is adapted to the course of the shower partition 2 indicated by dash-dotted lines.
  • This flat lighting fixture 3 has such a width B that in the present example according to FIGS. 1 and 2 it projects beyond the shower partition inwards and outwards by corresponding collar sections.
  • the lighting element 3 is T-shaped in cross-section, with a vertical leg 3a and two horizontal legs 3b and 3c, both of which form the aforementioned collar sections.
  • 4 is the vertical leg 3a provided with an L-shaped extension 3d in order to obtain a wider lower surface with a smaller material width of the vertical leg 3a.
  • the open side of the L-shaped vertical leg 3a is expediently directed towards the outside of the shower partition 2.
  • lights 5 are shown schematically in the horizontal legs 3d and 3c projecting beyond the shower partition 2 on both sides, the beam directions of which are directed downwards.
  • the lights 5 are preferably designed as low-voltage halogen lights, which generate a relatively large light intensity with a relatively small installation depth. These lights 5 illuminate both the exterior and the interior opposite the shower partition 2.
  • the elongated, flat lighting fixture 3 is adapted to the shape of a round corner shower. It consists of a quarter-circle arc 30 and two adjoining straight sections 31 and 32. At the ends of these straight sections 31 and 32, wall brackets 8 are indicated, with which the lighting fixture 3 can be attached to the room walls 4. 2 and 3 it can be seen that three lights 5 are provided both outside and inside. With this number of lights, a relatively uniform illumination of both the interior and the exterior of the shower partition 2 can be achieved.
  • the lighting fixture 3 according to the invention can either, as can be seen in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, be fastened above and independently of the shower partition 2 on the room walls 4 without touching the shower partition 2. This solution is chosen if the shower partition 2 does not have an upper support beam. However, if the shower partition 2 has an upper support beam 66 (see FIG. 4), the underside of the lighting fixture 3 can rest on the upper support beam 6 and only needs to be fixed to the room walls 4.
  • FIG. 4 shows a lighting fixture 3 with a T-shaped profile
  • FIG. 5 shows an alternative form of an elongated, flat lighting fixture 3 which does not have such a vertical leg 3a.
  • no support bar is drawn below the lighting fixture 3, but the shower partition 2 is located at a short distance from the underside of the lighting fixture 3.
  • this embodiment contains - like that according to FIG. 4 - lights 5 both on the inside and on the outside of the shower enclosure 2.
  • FIG. 6 now shows a further embodiment of the lighting body 3, which has an inverted L-shape, with the inner horizontal leg 3b practically missing compared to the embodiment according to FIG. 4.
  • lights 5 are, for example, only on the outside of the indicated shower enclosure 2 provided.
  • FIG. 7 now shows an embodiment of a lighting fixture 13 which is designed as an upper support beam for the shower partition 2. It has a similar shape as the embodiment according to FIG. 5, but between the two lights 5 guide elements 7 are provided, with which the upper end of the separating elements (e.g. sliding doors) of the shower partition 2 are guided. It is therefore practically an upper support beam 13, in which both the lights 5 and the guide elements 7 are integrated.
  • a lighting fixture 13 which is designed as an upper support beam for the shower partition 2. It has a similar shape as the embodiment according to FIG. 5, but between the two lights 5 guide elements 7 are provided, with which the upper end of the separating elements (e.g. sliding doors) of the shower partition 2 are guided. It is therefore practically an upper support beam 13, in which both the lights 5 and the guide elements 7 are integrated.
  • the lights 5 can either be arranged on both sides (FIGS. 4, 5 and 7), or only on the outside or inside (FIG. 6), and they can either be arranged above a shower partition 2 without an upper support beam or on the upper support beam 6 lie on.
  • the lights 5, which are directed downwards in their beam directions, can expediently also be adjustable by a swivel angle 9 with respect to the vertical direction, as indicated in FIG. 7. In this way, it is possible to specifically direct the light rays along or through the shower partition 2, which is special Effects of light.
  • This adjustability of the lights 5 is particularly advantageous in the embodiment according to FIG. 6, in which there are only 2 lights 5 on one side of the shower partition. If the lights 5 are directed more steeply towards the (transparent or translucent) shower partition 2, they will fall through them and also illuminate the room on the other side.
  • both the shower tray 1 and the shower partition 2 and the lighting fixture 3 have a round corner shape, it is of course possible to adapt the lighting fixture 3 to practically any shower tray and shower partition shapes.
  • a square or rectangular shower tray e.g. Not arranged in a corner, but between two room walls, the lighting fixture is designed in a straight, flat shape. If a square or rectangular shower tray is installed in a corner between two room walls, this results in an angled or L-shape for the lighting fixture.
  • Other configurations are conceivable.
  • the lighting fixture 3 is supplied with power via an isolating transformer, which is arranged in an electrically safe place at a suitable point and is connected to the lighting fixture 3 via low-voltage lines.
