Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shower cubicle with a movable seat according to the precharacterizing part of claim 1.
  • shower cubicles of this type are preferably provided, among other fixtures, with an internal seat permitting the user to assume a comfortable rest position under certain circumstances.
  • the user may thus be comfortably seated when the cubicle is used as a steam bath or, in the case of a shower cubicle combined with a bath tub, the user may be seated with his feet immersed in the water contained in the tub.
  • the seat is usually fixed so as to project into the interior of the cubicle, as a result of which it may act as an undesirable obstruction, involving the danger of the user being accidentally hurt.
  • a movable seat adapted to be selectively displaced between a non-use position in which it is received in a suitably shaped recess in the internal wall surface of the shower cubicle, and a use position in which it is lowered from the non-use position so as to project horizontally from the wall surface.
  • the seat In the non-use position, the seat extends substantially flush with the internal wall surface of the shower cubicle, while in the use position it projects therefrom for the user to be comfortably seated thereon.
  • a shower cubicle with a seat of the aforementioned kind is known from US-A-3480973.
  • the seat is fixed to the frame of the shower.
  • the seat portion is movable about a horizontal axis between two positions. In the first position, which is a non-use position, the seat surface extends essentially vertically. In the second position, which is the use position, the surface of the seat extends horizontally such that a person can sit on the seat surface.
  • this design allows space saving in the non-use position compared to the use position, as it still requires a lot of room and represents an undesirable obstruction.
  • the seat according to the invention is preferably, although not exclusively, intended for use with a shower cubicle combined with a bath tub or a hydromassage tub having an internal wall partially shown and generally indicated at 5 in figs. 1 and 3.
  • the shower cubicle generally has an internal wall surface which may in top plan view substantially coincide with the internal wall surface 5 of the tub, and a substantially vertical wall 6 extending upwards from the rim of the tub (or from the rim of a not shown base plate of a shower cubicle not provided with a tub).
  • the structure as a whole is provided with a support frame 7 having attached thereto, in a substantially conventional manner, the tub (if provided), the wall 6 of the cubicle, and optionally provided exterior covering walls 8, 9.
  • the vertical wall 6 is formed with at least one recessed portion 10, preferably at the location of a corner of the shower cubicle (and of the tub) for optimum use of the space available.
  • wall 6 is preferably extended downwards with a wall portion 11 of substantially C-shaped cross-section (figs. 2 and 4).
  • Wall portion 11 is secured to the bottom side of frame 7 and has a substantially horizontal planar top 12 extending into recessed portion 10, and a front face 13 merging into the wall surface 5 of the shower cubicle.
  • front face 13 is preferably of convex configuration as illustrated in figs. 1 and 3, it may also, however, of concave shape or substantially coincide with the internal wall surface portion 5 of the shower cubicle.
  • the recessed portion 10 of wall 6 is preferably likewise of curvilinear configuration, but may obviously be of any other suitable shape if so required.
  • the movable seat according to the invention is basically composed of a substantially planar seat portion 14 preferably covered with a padding material and provided at an eccentric position with a pin 15 extending downwards therefrom to be freely received in a mounting sleeve 16 with the interposition of a bearing collar 18.
  • Sleeve 16 is secured to frame 7, for instance by means of struts 17 fixedly connected thereto.
  • Bearing collar 18 is disposed between the seat portion 14 and the horizontal top plane 12, and preferably made of a low-friction plastic material.
  • the contours of seat portion 14 are preferably of irregular curvilinear configuration as shown in figs. 1 and 3, but may of course be given any other suitable shapes as required.
  • the eccentric positioning of the swivel pin 15 according to the invention permits the seat portion 14 to freely swivel between an angular use position in which it projects forward beyond the wall surface 5 of the shower cubicle (fig. 1), and an angular non-use position (fig. 3), in which it is received in the recessed portion 10 of wall 6 and does substantially not project beyond wall surface 5 to result in minimum obstruction.
  • the contours of seat portion 14 in its non-use position substantially coincide with front face 13 and with those of the recessed portion 10 of wall 6.
  • the seat portion 14 can be readily dismounted, as for being cleaned, by simply extracting swivel pin 15 from sleeve 16.
  • the swivel pin 15 and mounting sleeve 16 may be formed with complementary screw threads permitting the user to adjust the height of the seat by simple rotation.
  • the seat may be mounted for excentric swivelling about an axis other than the vertical one shown in the drawings.
  • pin 15 may for instance be mounted horizontally.
