Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bathtub with an essentially oval trough in plan.
  • Bathtubs of the type described above are usually set up with a rectangular bathtub box, depending on the size of the available space, the bathtub is set up with a long side and with an end face in a corner of the room or with only one long side along a building wall. If you want to create additional seating and / or storage space for such a tub, which is only set up along a building wall, i.e. is freely accessible at the end faces, without reducing the free trough space, this can only be achieved by widening the tub box accordingly. Apart from the design difficulties, however, this would make the entry into a tub with a widened tub box considerably more difficult. Another disadvantage is that the surface obtained in this way cannot be used as a seat, since it is outside the tub edge and water dripping on it then runs into the room and not into the bathtub.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a bathtub of the type described at the outset which, in the case of a large interior space, requires only a small amount of space and, with a corresponding design, also enables the arrangement of additional surfaces which are located in the region of the tub interior and can be used as seating surfaces.
  • a rear longitudinal wall side of the tub trough merges into a substantially straight rear tub edge part and the other longitudinal wall side and the two end faces of the tub trough merge into an arcuate front wall part, the ends of which end with the ends of the straight tub edge part connected is.
  • a bathtub has a base approximately in the form of a semicircular surface and can be set up with its straight rear bathtub edge part directly on the building wall.
  • Such a bathtub can be designed with a very large interior space without the space requirement going beyond a normal rectangular bathtub.
  • the arcuate course of the front tub edge part can be constructed in the form of an exact circular arc, but can also have the shape of a basket arch or a polygon with rounded corners.
  • the rear longitudinal wall side of the tub trough runs almost vertically and merges directly into the straight tub edge part.
  • the front longitudinal wall side of the tub trough runs at least almost vertically at least in the apex region of the curved tub edge part and merges into a flat part, which is lower than the tub edge part and merges into this.
  • the boundary edge of the surface part facing the tub trough can form a chord with respect to the arc-shaped tub rim or, in another embodiment, can be curved in the opposite direction to the tub rim.
  • the latter embodiment has the advantage that the accessibility in the area of the tub end face is widened without any notable reduction in the area part, so that it is also possible to set up the bathtub with a rear corner directly in a building corner without obstructing free access from both end faces.
  • Another advantage of this embodiment is that there is an additional space below the surface part. This can be used, for example, when equipping the bathtub according to the invention as a so-called whirlpool tub with advantage for accommodating the pump unit. Not only is a relatively large space available here, but there is also the advantage that this space is freely accessible from the front.
  • At least one end face of the tub trough runs in an arc shape and merges with the predominant part of its edge into the arcuate trough edge part.
  • a relatively steep face and thus as a foot part and aligning the other face for example at an angle of 60 °, measured relative to the horizontal, and designing it as a backrest.
  • the upper edge region of the end wall of the tub trough facing the corner merges into a gusset surface which in turn merges into the tub edge part.
  • gusset surfaces can be formed as storage surfaces by molding troughs or the like, or can also be designed as a so-called instrument panel. It is particularly useful if the gusset surface is slightly lower than the tub edge part. With a corresponding inclination towards the tub trough, a perfect drainage of water is guaranteed.
  • an apron-shaped front wall is attached to the outside, at least on the arc-shaped tub edge part. While deep-drawn baths made of plastic, for example sanitary acrylic, which are installed in bath boxes, the front surface of the bath box facing the room had to be provided with a surface coating, for example with tiles, the present invention enables an apron-shaped front wall the same material, for example sanitary acrylic. This front wall can be formed directly on the tub edge, so that the tub with the front facing the room consist of one material. This not only results in special design options, but such a tub can also be cleaned very well.
  • the support frame which engages in some places, is further provided that the apron-shaped front wall is fastened to the support frame and that its upper edge engages over the free lower edge of the tub rim. It is particularly useful if at least a portion of the front wall is releasably attached. This not only results in a flawless connection of the front wall to the edge of the bathtub, but there is also the possibility, in the case of bathtubs equipped as whirlpool bathtubs, to provide easy access to the machine unit lying under the surface part facing the room.
  • FIG. 1 shows a deep-drawn bath 1 made of a plastic, for example sanitary acrylic, with an essentially oval bath trough 2, the rear longitudinal wall side 3 of which merges into an essentially straight rear bath rim part 4.
  • the rear tub edge part 4 connects to a building wall.
  • the front longitudinal wall side 5 of the tub trough and the two end faces 6 and 7 merge into an arcuate, in this case circular, front wall part 8, the ends 9, 10 of which correspond to the corresponding ends of the straight tub edge part 4 is connected.
  • the tub trough 2 is arranged in such a way that the rear longitudinal wall side 3 is inclined outwards at an angle of approximately 10 °, according to the vertical, that is to say almost perpendicularly, and merges directly into the straight tub edge part 4.
  • the two end faces 6 and 7 of the tub 2 which run essentially in the shape of a circular arc, merge with the major part of their upper edge into the arcuate tub edge part 8. 2, the end face 7 is inclined at an angle of approximately 60 ° with respect to the horizontal and is designed as a backrest, while the end face 7 is oriented very steeply.
  • the front longitudinal wall side 5 of the tub trough 2 also extends in the apex region of the arc-shaped tub edge part 8 at a slight angle, that is to say almost perpendicularly, and merges into a flat part 11, as can be seen from the cross section in FIG. 3.
  • This surface part 11 is somewhat lower than the tub edge part 8 and has a slight inclination in the direction of the tub trough 2.
  • the boundary edge 12 of the surface part 11 facing the tub trough 2 is curved in the opposite direction to the tub edge part 8, so that wide entry areas 13 result in relation to the end faces 6 and 7.
  • the boarding areas are easily accessible even if the bathtub directly adjoins a building wall running perpendicular to the rear bathtub edge in the area of one of its end faces.
  • the surface part 11 can be provided in the region of its boundary edge 12 with an upward-pointing bead which is interrupted at the deepest point in a groove-like manner, so that a perfect drainage of water is ensured, but on the other hand there is a secure hold against slipping.
  • the surface part 11 can also be profiled in its surface, For example, be corrugated or ribbed, or have an additional recessed seat recess compared to the other areas of the surface part 11.
  • the end walls 6 and 7 are formed in this area in the corners formed between the straight wall part 4 and the ends 9, 10 of the arcuate tub edge part 8 in such a way that they first merge into a gusset surface 14, 15, which in turn then in merges with the tub edge in the corner area.
  • the gusset surface 14 is preferably set slightly lower than the tub edge part 4, 8 in this area.
  • the gusset surfaces 14, 15 can serve as storage surfaces or as a dashboard.
  • a tub drain 16 is arranged centrally in the region of the side wall 3 with respect to the arch contour of the front tub edge part 8, so that there is a smooth seating possibility both with respect to the end wall 6 and the end wall 7.
  • FIG. 1 consists essentially of a profile tube space which is provided with a series of vertically extending supports which extend below the tub edge 8 and the tub edge 4 and which are each provided with adjustable adjusting elements 19 both at the upper end and at the lower end.
  • the supports 18 are connected to one another via cross members 20, some of which run below and support the trough base.
  • the front supports 18 are provided with fastening elements 21, on which an apron-like front wall 22, preferably releasably, is attached.
  • the apron-shaped front wall 22 overlaps with its upper edge 23 the lower edge 24 of the tub edge part 8, as is shown on a larger scale in FIG. 4.
  • the apron-like front wall can be in the front area, i.e. directly in their area assigned to the flat part 11, so that only this partial apron can be detached from the frame.
  • a large inspection opening is thus possible if a tub designed in this way is equipped as a whirlpool tub.
  • the aggregates 25 required for this, only indicated schematically, are then arranged in the space below the surface part 11 and are freely accessible from the front.
