Definitions
- the invention relates to a shower partition according to the preamble of Claim 1.
- Such channels are usually on a lower edge profile of the shower partition door attached or in one piece with this edge profile. They are suitable therefore not for doors that - at least at the lower edge - are profile-free. by name Glass doors are continuously smooth, mostly all around. In such So far, shower enclosures have proven to be a good seal on the outside as hardly possible or at least quite problematic.
- a shower cabin disclosed in DE-A-197 03 790 has a shower cup with one raised edge, on which a stop bar is detachably attached.
- This has corrugations with flow openings that drain water from the door should let pass inside the shower tray.
- the latter does not own the a bulge on the outside of a building wall, the inner one Can have an undercut; the door closes just behind him, and she comes to a stop on the corrugated bar. It can therefore only go outwards be opened.
- the shower cup or bath has a raised plateau, which from one to the inside sloping circular channel is surrounded. A door protrudes from this, the over a lower outer rim of the tub and a channel cover grille can be opened to the outside; inside it comes in front of the plateau with its user base to the stop, whereby a water drainage gap should form.
- the object of the invention is to use economical means in the interior of shower enclosures, whose e.g. multi-leaf door, especially smooth at the bottom or is profile-free to allow an improved water drainage.
- An important The aim is also to allow water to escape into the shower, even when showering heavily Prevent bathroom area from the shower partition as far as possible.
- a shower partition with a shower tray and with the raised edge upwards adjoining partitions at least one on the wall, on a fixed Partition or slidably or pivotally attached to a corner post Door at the bottom is smooth or without profile and the inside with a shower tray provided with a water outlet is at least partially circulating Has water gutter, the invention sees according to the characterizing part of claim 1 before that the drain gutter inserted into the top of the shower tray is, which is at almost the same height as the bottom edge of the door and at closed door is located outside of this.
- the measure of claim 2 is particularly important, for which independent protection is claimed. After that is below the gutter and / or one adjacent to it Inside protrusion, an outwardly protruding bevel, groove or the like. available. This makes a significant contribution to draining the inside of the door Swirl shower water and largely splash-free inside the shower tray recirculate. Even with vigorous showers, i.e. with a large amount of spray water, As far as possible, there will be water leakage into the bathroom before the shower partition prevented.
- Claim 3 specifies a design, according to which the gutter in cross section has the outer edge section which is slightly inclined from the edge of the shower base, which merges smoothly into an inner, downwardly projecting main part, which to the inside of the shower base is limited by an inner edge, the The upper edge is lower than the outer edge of the shower base. This shape makes it easier the water drainage outside the or each door, the lower edge of which both gutter boundaries can cover with a scarce but sufficient free space.
- claim 4 provides that the groove to the outside at least to the Distance from the edge of the main part of the gutter.
- the gutter has a corner or middle area the edge of the shower tray from a slope to another corner or the middle area. It is advisable to set the slope from the shower entrance to the side, for example towards corner posts, so that the user preferred regularly The passage zone cannot retain any residual water.
- FIG. 1 a shower partition 10 seen from above with a Shower tray or cup 12, which is generally quarter-circle in shape and for installation in a corner of a bathroom.
- the shower tray 12 is on the wall side each have a solid, flat partition 14, the one on the room-side high edge Has corner post 16 with hinged door leaf 18.
- This can alternatively ins Interior 20 of the shower tray 12 can be pivoted in or out of it.
- sealing means be present, for example magnetic sealing strips.
- the shower tray 12 has a water outlet 22 at the bottom 26 Shower entry area 42 bounded by a raised edge 24 into which a water drainage channel 30 is embedded (Fig. 2 to 4).
- the bottom edge of the door 28 ends close above the edge 24 of the shower tray 12, so that the door leaf 18 with little but sufficient free space can also be opened to the outside, as in Fig. 1 is indicated schematically for a door leaf 18
- the enlarged section according to FIG. 2 corresponds to the circle II in FIG. 1 here and in Fig. 3 and 4 that the drainage channel 30 with an outer, sloping Channel section 32 begins, which is followed by a recessed main part 34, which again merges smoothly into a rising inner section 36.
- the latter runs into an inner projection 38, the upper edge of which is at least slightly is lower than the outer edge of the shower tray 24. The edge ends just above this Lower edge 28 of the door so that the door leaves 18 are exposed.
- FIG. 4 shows that the edge distance r of the recessed channel main part 34 can be somewhat larger than the narrowest point on the groove 40 the remaining wall of the shower tray 12.
- FIG. 4 also shows that the height h of the shower tray edge 24 at least that of the inner projection 38 slightly exceeds.
- the function of the groove 40 is clearly shown in FIG. 4. If when using the shower partition 10, a surge of water to the inside of the Door leaf 18 arrives, the water flows into the interior 20 of the shower tray 12 and becomes swirled by the shape of the groove 40 so that under the inner projection 38 a cross flow occurs, the water flowing down to the interior 20 and Floor 26 of the shower tray 12 is deflected. This contributes significantly to the exit of spray water to a large extent to prevent that from the Drainage channel 30 is collected and derived from its recessed main part 34.
- the channel 30 preferably has such a slope that one The apex at the shower entry 42 towards the corner posts 16 is gradually lowered takes place. The deepest mouths are throats 44 immediately at the Corner post 16.
- the invention is not based on any of the previously described embodiments limited, but can be modified in many ways.
