Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower partition, in particular shower roller blind, with a shaft and a splash guard, with an essentially horizontal mountable, at least one-sided longitudinally open housing for Guide the rotatable shaft, the shaft of the receptacle the splash guard is used, and with means for opening and Unwind the splash protection film over the housing opening as well attached to the free end of the splash protection film Drop bar.
  • Such 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 aforementioned utility model, can be connected to a drive wheel, around which an endless drive chain or the like engaging with the drive wheel can be guided.
  • 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 also teaches this Provide a sewn in at the free end of the shower curtain Metal rod, which should improve the unwinding and reeling process.
  • the metal rod also forms a final support the shower curtain on the tub edge.
  • 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 over the edge of the tub, in conjunction with the resulting moisture and cleaning problems. This risk is particularly increased if the user of the shower has to move in the narrow space available, for example to get appropriate cleaning agents. In this case, the rolled shower curtain moves and slides over the edge of the tub, so that at least dripping water gets into the environment.
  • a shower shield consisting of an elongated, horizontally mountable housing is assumed, which has a film that can be rolled up or rolled off inside.
  • the film shown there has a stiffening rod with free film ends attached to it at the lower end.
  • the free ends of the film must be placed on the inside and outside over the edge of a bath tub or shower tray.
  • this presents considerable problems.
  • 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 serves to conceal a roll-out shower film.
  • the cassette shower roller blind shown there can be placed in a false ceiling installed or mounted below the ceiling.
  • the Cassette for holding the blind consists of an extruded Aluminum, with a roller blind shaft inside the cassette is rotatably mounted. A drop bar provided there improves the unrolling and rolling up of the film or the blind.
  • Also for the shower roller blind according to utility model G 92 14 429.2 can splash water escape laterally or there is Danger that the roller blind, if it lies on the tub edge, is moved over the edge, splashing water into the Environment.
  • roller blind for use in the bathroom and shower area Utility model G 93 04 750.9 is from a commercially available Product started out in a slit aluminum tube is attachable. The intended one is for showering Rollo fabric pulled down to the edge of the tub so that Splashing water runs into the tub. However, there is also the space available for unhindered showering in the tub is constricted, especially if the roller blind according to G 93 04 750.9 is matched to the maximum tub length.
  • US 5,033,132 shows a rollable shower curtain. At the bottom of this shower curtain are spaced magnets inserted so that the curtain in rolled out and wound condition on the inside of the tub metallic tub adheres.
  • the roller blind should be pulled up under the edge of the tub or shower base can be because in this position even with accidental Cross movements a sliding out of the free end of the Roller blinds over the edge of the tub or pool or shower base can be safely prevented.
  • a special divided down rod By dividing the Falling rod can the roll-up film or the splash protection film fit the inside of a tub that can be used as a shower and the spray water should drain into the tub accordingly.
  • the Splash guard film By sliding the blind with the provided split drop rod into a tub section has surprisingly been found that the Splash guard film can follow curvatures of the inner contour, so that there is enough space for showering and as set out safe drainage of the spray water is possible.
  • the splash protection film provided with the special split bar on the tub and not on the body, making an accidental Sliding out or sliding out of the film when moving in the shower is excluded.
  • the splash protection film has one on the outside End-trained pocket that accommodates the split Falling stick serves. A pinched, glued or contacted via a press connection with the film Drop bar used without the pocket become.
  • first drop bar section In a specific embodiment of the invention is based symmetrically from the central longitudinal axis of the splash protection film a first drop bar section almost evenly distributed intended.
  • This first drop bar section takes a length of essentially 30 to 70% of the film width.
  • At first Sections are adjoining on both sides second and / or third or further drop rod sections intended.
  • Fill the second and third drop bar sections overall the remaining width of the film from and have a division from the second to the third section in the Ratio of essentially 1: 1 to 3: 1. Other division ratios are conceivable.
  • a magnetic rubber material what as a coating material for a metallic, divided Drop stick can be used increases the desired liability on the inside or on the inside wall of a metallic Tub, shower tray or the like.
  • the housing is longitudinally formed.
  • 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 via a longitudinal groove spring and end caps at the sides.
  • the end caps which preferably consist of a plastic injection molded part, have means for guiding the shaft of the roller blind.
  • a housing of any cross-sectional shape which consists of individual housings that can be arranged around corners, each sub-housing comprising a splash protection film divided drop bar sections, is provided.
  • the invention succeeds in surprising simple way to ensure that even when moving in the cramped shower room the lower end of a shower roller blind do not slide out of the tub or shower tray edge can, so that splash water can be effectively collected becomes. Due to the special design of the housing in Connection with the tongue and groove version as well as the resulting The resultant divisibility is the installation of the shower partition significantly simplified without the desired stability of the Overall arrangement with frequent actuation and thus the service life is reduced.
  • the advantage of the drop rod according to the invention is accordingly in that by the division an adaptation to the shape of the Tub or shower base is given. Even with a straight line trained housing, which the longitudinal extent of a Tray accordingly on a mounting surface, e.g. a bathroom ceiling is attached, there is the possibility in Side splash protection in the area of the tub curvature due to the division of the case, i.e. through the segmented drop bar, at least on one side End the film can follow the curvature sideways.
