Definitions
- the invention relates to a shower partition, in particular shower roller blind, consisting of an essentially horizontally mountable, at least one side longitudinally open housing for guiding a rotatable shaft, the shaft being used to hold a splash protection film, and with means for opening and closing
- a roll-up shower curtain with a horizontal winding shaft for unrolling or rolling up the shower curtain is known from German utility model G 87 09 165.8.
- the shaft is rotatably supported at both ends in brackets and provided with an actuating device.
- the winding shaft can be designed as a spring roller blind or, according to the above-mentioned utility model, can be connected to a drive wheel around which an endless and with the Drive wheel engaged drive chain or the like is feasible.
- the end supports for the actuating device of known shower roller blinds can be arranged within a cassette to be fastened to the ceiling, which forms a housing.
- the arrangement of the end brackets and thus also the drive chain in the cassette results in an optically appealing exterior and protection against environmental influences.
- utility model G 87 09 165.8 teaches the provision of a metal rod sewn onto the free end of the shower curtain, which is intended to improve the unrolling and reeling process.
- the metal rod also forms a final covering for the shower curtain on the edge of the tub.
- the shower curtain lies on the edge of the tub after it has rolled off, it being impossible to prevent splash water from escaping to the side or also over the edge of the tub, in conjunction with the resulting moisture and cleaning problems.
- the film shown there has a stiffening rod with free film ends attached to it at the lower end.
- the free film ends After unrolling the film, the free film ends must be placed on the inside and outside over the edge of a tub or shower base.
- a tub or shower base Especially in the case of tubs with curved sections, such as at least in the head and / or foot area the case is, this presents considerable difficulties.
- moving the free film ends requires some effort for the user, which is usually not carried out, so that moisture escapes into the bathroom or the environment in an undesirable manner even with such a shower screen.
- the free film ends are subject to the risk of damage, in particular by tearing in the longitudinal or transverse direction.
- a cassette shower roller blind is already known, which serves for the concealed reception of a roll-out shower film.
- the cassette shower roller blind shown there can be installed in a false ceiling or mounted below the ceiling.
- the cassette for holding the roller blind is made of an extruded aluminum, a roller blind shaft being rotatably mounted within the cassette.
- a drop bar provided there improves the unrolling and rolling up of the film or the roller blind.
- splash water can escape from the side or there is a risk that the roller blind, when it rests on the tub edge, will be moved beyond the edge, splash water getting into the environment.
- roller blind for use in the bathroom and shower area in accordance with utility model G 93 04 750.9 is based on a commercially available product that can be fastened in a longitudinally cut aluminum tube.
- the roller blind fabric provided is pulled down to the edge of the tub so that water splashes into the tub.
- the available space for unhindered showering is also there the tub is restricted, especially if the roller blind is adjusted to the maximum length of the tub in accordance with G 93 04 750.9.
- the roller blind according to the invention should be able to be pulled up under the edge of the tub or shower base, because in this position the free end of the roller blind can safely be prevented from sliding over the edge of the tub or basin or shower base even in the event of accidental transverse movements.
- a special split drop bar is assumed. Due to the division of the drop rod, the roller blind film or the splash protection film can lie against the inside of a tub that can be used as a shower and the spray water can run off into the tub accordingly.
- the drop rod according to the invention or the division thereof allows adaptation to the inner contour of the tub or to the tub shape.
- the splash protection film can follow curvatures of the inner contour, so that there is enough space for a shower and, as stated, a safe drainage of the spray water is possible.
- the splash protection film provided with the special split bar adheres to the tub and not to the body, so that the film accidentally slides out or slides out when moving in the shower is excluded.
- the splash protection film has a pocket formed at the free end, which is used to hold the divided drop rod.
- the drop rod can have instead of a division, but also in combination with such a measure, flexibly connected drop rod sections, the overall aim being to allow a position position of the splash protection film in such a way that it follows the inside contour of a tub, shower tray or the like on the inside of the latter can put on.
- a drop bar that is clamped on, glued on, or contacted with the film via a press connection can also be used without the pocket.
- divided drop rod sections are only provided at the lateral ends of the splash protection film within the pocket mentioned.
- a first drop bar section is provided symmetrically and almost equally distributed.
- This first drop bar section takes up a length of essentially 30 to 70% of the film width.
- Second and / or third or further drop bar sections are provided on the sides of the first section. The second and third drop bar sections overall fill the remaining width of the film and have a division from the second to the third section in the
- the drop bar can also consist of a chain or chain parts.
- the material used for the drop rod sections or for the drop rod is rustproof metal, for example aluminum, rustproof steel or a plastic corresponding mass.
- the drop bar has flexible properties over its longitudinal extent, in which case magnetic rubber material is used in particular for the drop bar.
- the magnetic rubber material which can also be used as a coating material for a metallic, divided drop bar, increases the desired adhesion on the inside or on the inside wall of a metallic tub, shower tray or the like.
- the housing is longitudinally divided.
- a first housing part has means, in particular bores for fastening, in or on a mounting surface, a second housing part lining or covering the remaining surfaces.
- the first and the second housing part are connected according to the invention via a longitudinal groove spring and side end caps.
- the end caps which preferably consist of an injection molded plastic part, have means for guiding the shaft of the roller blind.
- the pocket for receiving the drop rod sections, which together form a drop rod, is formed by folding over a lower end and welding a special plastic splash protection film.
- the starting point is a housing of any cross-sectional shape, which consists of individual housings which can be arranged around corners, each partial housing being provided with a splash protection film, comprising divided and / or flexibly connected drop rod sections.
- the advantage of the drop rod according to the invention is therefore that the division gives an adaptation to the shape of the tub or shower base. Even in the case of a rectilinear housing which corresponds to the longitudinal expansion of a trough on a mounting surface, e.g. is attached to a bathroom ceiling, there is the possibility of obtaining a lateral splash water protection in the area of the tub curvature, since the drop bar division, i.e. through the segmented drop bar, the film can follow the curvature laterally at least at one side end.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the shower partition in the not yet fully rolled out state
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of a rolled-out shower partition, which bears against the inside of a tub in side sections thereof.
- the basic design of the shower partition shown in FIG. 1 is based on a horizontally mountable housing 1. This housing 1 is connected to the bathroom ceiling 6 via suitable fastening means.
- the housing 1 accommodates a rotatable shaft 3 in its interior, which serves to fasten a spray protection film 2 that can be wound up and unwound.
- the splash protection film 2 has a pull chain 5.
- a laterally arranged endless chain can be present, which interacts with the rotatable shaft 3 via a corresponding drive wheel (not shown).
- a pocket 7 is provided at the free lower end of the splash protection film 2. This pocket 7 is used to hold a special split bar 4.
- the divided drop rod 4 according to FIG. 1 has a first drop rod section 41, which is arranged symmetrically on both sides, starting from the central longitudinal axis M of the splash protection film 2.
- a second drop bar section 42 and a third drop bar section 43 are laterally provided on the first drop bar section 41.
- the length of the second and third drop bar sections 42; 43 is smaller than the length of the central, first drop bar section 41.
- the choice of the length of the drop bar sections is made taking into account the curvature areas 8 of the tub 9.
- the number of drop rod sections increases and the individual length thereof shortens.
- the third drop bar sections can also have a shorter length than the second drop bar sections.
- first drop bar sections are provided, which take up a length of 30 to 70% of the respective film width.
- the second and third drop bar sections 42; 43 have a division from the second to the third section in a ratio of essentially 1: 1 to 3: 1.
- Splash protection film 2 not yet in the final state i.e. the film 2 can be pulled into the tub 9 with the help of the pull chain 5 to below the tub rim 10, so that the lower end of the splash protection film 2 can follow the inner contour, in particular in the region of the curvatures 8 of the tub 9.
- the material of the drop bars or drop bar sections has rustproof properties, preferably an aluminum bar is used.
- the aluminum rod can be provided with a magnetic rubber coating, so that, in particular in the case of metallic tubs and / or shower trays, there is an improvement in the adhesion of the splash protection film 2 to the inside of the respective tub.
- the individual drop rod sections can be connected to one another in an articulated manner and have such resilient or elastic properties that after the splash protection film 2 has slid out of the tub 9, i.e. the reopening, the original elongated shape returns, so that the moving back of the
- Splash protection film 2 runs smoothly in the housing 1.
- the housing 1 can be longitudinally divided, so that a first and a second housing part result.
- a first housing part can have bores which, in conjunction with suitable screws, serve to secure the same to the bathroom ceiling 6.
- the first and second housing parts are then made with the aid of a preferably longitudinal groove spring connected, lateral end caps (not shown in FIG. 1) are present, which serve both the shaft mounting and the fastening of the housing halves to one another.
- the width of the splash protection film 2 can be chosen to be larger than a straight section of the trough 9, since the split design of the drop rod 4 means that the lower section of the splash protection film 2 is placed against the inner wall adjusts so that the inner contour of the tub is simulated. This improves the splash protection effect to a considerable extent without the user being restricted in his freedom of movement when the roller blind is unwound.
- the housings can be arranged from corners
- Each individual housing is then provided with a splash protection film, comprising divided and / or flexibly connected drop bars or drop bar sections.
- the actuating device can be provided separately, or alternatively there is the possibility of an articulated connection of the respective rotatable shafts then provided, so that the spray protection films can be rolled up and rolled off with a single pulling means.
- the pocket for receiving the divided drop rod or the drop rod sections is realized by folding over a lower end of the film and welding the same.
- the splash protection film can essentially lie on the inside of the tub following the inner contour of a tub, shower tray, basin or the like.
- the contour of the tub, shower tray or the like is approximated by the drop bar sections.
