Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for fixing the walls of shower booths.
  • shower booths particularly those having a cylindrical shape, are constituted by a series of fixed glazed walls and by a series of sliding glazed walls which are guided between two profiles, an upper one and a lower one, rigidly coupled to the fixed walls.
  • the coupling between the fixed walls and the respective upper and lower profiles is performed by silicone sealing, an extremely complicated and difficult operation to be performed after installation, which is accordingly performed during production.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide a device for fixing the walls of shower booths which allows to assemble said walls during installation.
  • a consequent primary object is to provide shower booths which can be transported while they are disassembled and thus have an acceptable bulk.
  • Still another object is to provide a device whose presence in any case does not compromise the primary function of the shower booth, i.e. to keep inside it any drops and sprays of water during use.
  • Not least object is to provide a device which is simple to manufacture and has a low cost.
  • a device for fixing the walls of shower booths characterized in that it comprises a block with a seat for the insertion of a portion of the edge of said wall, said block being fixed so as to rest, with a screw coupling, on the inner part of a corresponding supporting profile.
  • the wall is fixed to corresponding upper and lower profiles by means of said blocks on one side and by means of a vertical upright on the other side, the edge of said wall being inserted in said upright and silicone-sealed.
  • a shower booth is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and is composed of fixed glazed walls 11 and of movable glazed walls 12; the movable glazed walls are slideable on extruded supporting and guiding profiles, respectively an upper profile 13 and a lower profile 14.
  • the profiles 13 and 14 have a symmetrical cross-section.
  • the fixed walls 11 are fixed to the profiles 13 and 14 on one side by means of terminal blocks 15 which are shaped substantially like a parallelepiped and have corresponding seats 16 for the insertion of the respective angular portions 17 of the edge.
  • the seats 16 have such a width that coupling occurs with minimal play and have grooves 18 for accommodating fixing silicone.
  • Each block 15 is fixed so as to rest with one of its corners, by means of a screw coupling 19, on the inner part of the corresponding profile, whose cross-section is appropriately complementarily shaped.
  • the screw 19 passes through a solid portion of the corresponding block 15 in a solid corner region, where the seat 16 and the corresponding wall 11 are chamfered.
  • the fixed walls 11 are inserted with their edge and are silicone-sealed in corresponding grooves of vertical uprights 20 to which the ends of the profiles 13 and 14 are also fixed by means of screws, not shown in the figures.
  • the lower edge of the fixed walls 11 is at a lower level than the corresponding lower profile 14 and that the space for the passage of any sprays or drops is minimal.
  • the movable walls 12 are instead provided with wheels, not illustrated in the figures, which are slidingly inserted in guiding grooves 22 and 23 defined by the profiles 13 and 14.
  • the shower booth can in fact be shipped disassembled and can be assembled when in place by fixing the blocks 15.
  • Silicone sealing of the fixed walls 11 with respect to the uprights 12 can also be performed during production, since in any case this assembly does not cause a particular increase in bulk.
  • the materials employed may be any according to the requirements.
