Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support for bathrobes, underwear and the like, in particular for a shower cabinet.
  • shower cabinets for positioning on shower trays are widely available, they enabling the shower to be taken without wetting the bathroom.
  • traditional shower cabinets comprise a closed structure of glass or plastic material, provided with a door for access to its interior.
  • shower cabinets have been provided in one side with a usually concave rotatable barrier supporting one or more hooks.
  • the hooks are conveniently used for hanging the bathrobe before taking the shower so that it remains outside the cabinet; on termination of the shower, by rotating the barrier the bathrobe is brought into the interior of the shower cabinet to enable it to be put on without having to go outside, i.e. without having necessarily to open the shower cabinet.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a support for bathrobes, underwear and the like, which enables these drawbacks to be overcome.
  • the support of the invention enables the bathrobe to remain outside the shower cabinet while showering, and be brought inside to be put on.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a support which limits the unpleasant cold sensation caused by contact between the skin and the bathrobe fabric when the user puts on the bathrobe inside the shower cabinet.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a support which always ensures good lighting both inside and in proximity to the shower cabinet.
  • the support 1 is shown connected to a shower cabinet, consequently the letter I indicates the space inside the shower cabinet while the letter E indicates the space outside.
  • the support 1 comprises a frame 2 to which a concave barrier 3 constructed for example of glass or plastic material, preferably transparent, is rotatably connected; the support 1 also comprises a towel holder 4 in particular for a bathrobe.
  • a concave barrier 3 constructed for example of glass or plastic material, preferably transparent, is rotatably connected; the support 1 also comprises a towel holder 4 in particular for a bathrobe.
  • the towel holder 4 presents means in its interior for heating the bathrobe, to enable the user to take the bathrobe already warm.
  • the frame 2 comprises a base 5 to which there are connected at least two uprights 6 joined together at their top by at least one stiffening element 7.
  • the base 5 and the stiffening element 7 present respectively first and second guide means 8, 9 for the concave barrier.
  • the first guide means 8 comprise a least one perimetral channel 11 provided on the base 5, in which support wheels 12 for the barrier 3 are movable.
  • the second guide means 9 comprise a surface of the stiffening element 7 slidably connected to a portion of the barrier 3.
  • the stiffening element 7 consists of a metal ring fixed to the uprights 6, the second guide means 9 consisting of the inner surface of the metal ring, on which the upper edge of the barrier 3 slides.
  • the uprights 6 also present gaskets 15, 16 for water-tightness; in particular the gasket 15 is arranged to lock the barrier 3 in its open or closed position and is formed of plastic material, whereas the gasket 16 acts as a drip remover when the barrier 3 is rotating and is formed of plastic material with a soft end.
  • the towel holder 4 is connected to a crosspiece 17 fixed to an upper edge of the barrier 3 and comprises electrical resistance heating elements in its interior.
  • the crosspiece 17 presents first sliding contacts 18 connected to the resistance elements (via the electric cables 19).
  • the sliding contacts 18 are connectable to second contacts 20 arranged on the second guide means 9 and connected to the electric power supply.
  • the support 1 also comprises an upper cover element 21 carrying at least one lighting lamp, not shown for simplicity.
  • the upper cover element 21 comprises, embedded in the material, optical and/or electroluminescent fibres 22, fed by the lamp.
  • the concave barrier 3 also presents the optical fibres and/or electroluminescent lighting fibres 22, also embedded in the material.
  • the optical fibres and/or electroluminescent fibres are embedded in rods of transparent material such as glass or PVC, the rods being connected to or embedded in the material of the upper element 21 and/or of the barrier 3.
  • the electrical power is the same for the lamp and for the resistance elements, the source being the lighting point in the ceiling.
  • the base 5 presents a box structure for containing underwear or the like, for example, as shown in the accompanying figures, the base 5 presents an aperture 23 facing inwards and an aperture 24 facing outwards from the shower cabinet, when the support 1 has been installed.
  • the barrier 3 is previously put into the position indicated in Figure 1, the towel holder being consequently accessible from the outside of the shower cabinet but not from the inside.
  • the user places the bathrobe on the towel holder and operates the external switch to light the lamp and heat the resistance elements.
  • the user rotates the barrier 3 into the position shown in Figure 2, with the bathrobe accessible from inside the shower cabinet (but not from outside).
  • the user can therefore put on the bathrobe already warm (it having been heated by the resistance elements of the towel holder 4).
  • the gasket 16 removes the water deposited on the barrier and allows it to fall into the base 5; in contrast, the gasket 15 locks and retains the barrier 3 in its open or closed position (i.e. it acts as a limit stop).
