Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bade- und/oder Duschvorrichtungen der üblichen Bauart mit einer einen niederen, ebenerdigen oder fast ebenerdigen Rand aufweisenden Duschwanne ermöglichen es wegen des zu geringen möglichen Wasserstandes nicht, in der Duschwanne sitzend ein vollwertiges Bad mit ins Wasser getauchten Schultern zu nehmen. Demgegenüber ermöglicht eine Badewanne mit einem Spritzschutz in Form eines Duschvorhangs oder einem aus Glasscheiben bestehenden Duschaufsatz zwar das Duschen und Baden, wohingegen ein ebenerdiger oder fast ebenerdiger Einstieg wie in eine Duschwanne hinein nicht möglich ist, da der hohe Rand der Badewanne überklettert werden muss. Dies stellt insbesondere für Gehbehinderte und ältere Menschen ein fast unüberwindbares Hindernis dar, weshalb es weitgehend üblich ist, bei ausreichend Bauraum im Badezimmer sowohl eine Dusche, als auch eine Badewanne zu installieren, verbunden mit dem Nachteil höherer Kosten, einerseits für zwei getrennte Installationen, welche darüber hinaus sehr selten gleichzeitig genutzt werden, und andererseits durch die Größe des Badezimmers, welches eine größere Grundfläche aufweisen muss, als bei Installation nur einer Dusche oder nur einer Badewanne.Bathing and / or showering devices of the usual design with a lower, ground-level or almost ground-level edge shower tray do not allow it because of the low possible water level, sitting in the shower tray to take a full bath with submerged in the water shoulders. In contrast, allows a bathtub with a splash guard in the form of a shower curtain or a glass shower screen showering while showering and bathing, whereas a ground-level or almost ground-level entrance as in a shower tray is not possible because the high edge of the bathtub must be climbed. This is an almost insurmountable obstacle especially for the disabled and the elderly, which is why it is common practice to install with sufficient space in the bathroom both a shower and a bathtub, coupled with the disadvantage of higher costs, on the one hand for two separate installations In addition, very rarely used at the same time, and on the other hand by the size of the bathroom, which a larger Has floor space, as when installing only a shower or just a bathtub.

EP 0 864 285 A2 zeigt eine Badevorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. EP 0 864 285 A2 shows a bathing device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Tür verfügt dabei über Verriegelungsmittel, welche es erlauben, die Tür ausreichend stark gegen die Weichgummidichtung zu pressen, so dass sie im geschlossenen Zustand so eng an dieser anliegt, dass kein Wasser aus dem Unterbau austreten kann. Der Unterbau ist dabei als ein gefliester Holz-Multiplexkern ausgebildet, über dem ein Spritzschutz in Form eines Duschvorhangs oder in Form von Glastüren, ähnlich einem für eine Badewanne erhältlichen Spritzschutzaufsatz, angeordnet ist.From the DE 299 14 087 U1 is a bathing and showering device with a trough-like substructure known in its edge height corresponds approximately to the edge height of a bathtub and has an approximately ground-level access area, which closes by means of a against a arranged on the base in the boarding area soft rubber seal door waterproof to the environment is. The door has locking means which allow the door to be pressed sufficiently strongly against the soft rubber seal so that, when closed, it rests so close to it that no water can escape from the substructure. The substructure is designed as a tiled wood-multiplex core, above which a splash guard in the form of a shower curtain or in the form of glass doors, similar to a spray protection attachment available for a bathtub, is arranged.

Durch die US 3 955 219 ist eine Badewannen-Duschen-Kombination bekannt, die einen Duschenteil und einen mit diesem verbundenen Wannenteil aufweist. Der Duschenteil ist ebenerdig, und der Eingang dieses Duschenteils ist mit einer Duschtür versehen, die vom Erdboden bis über den Wannenrand reicht. Dieser Duschteil hat einen Durchgang zur Wanne, deren Boden in Sitzhöhe liegt. Der Durchgang ist mit einem Schott verschließbar.By the US 3,955,219 a bathtub-shower combination is known, which has a shower part and a connected with this part. The shower part is at ground level, and the entrance of this shower part is provided with a shower door that extends from the ground to the edge of the tub.

Eine in Figur 1 dargestellte Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 besteht aus einer Wanne 2 mit einem abgesenkten, annähernd ebenerdig angeordneten Einstiegsbereich 3, der von einer über den Rand 5 der Wanne 2 in der Höhe hinausragenden Duschtür 4 wasserdicht verschlossen werden kann. Durch die nach innen öffnende Tür 4 ist die Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 besonders für Kleinbäder geeignet. An der Wanne 2 ist hierfür im Einstiegsbereich 3 im Kontaktbereich 7 mit der Duschtür 4 eine Dichtfläche 6 angeordnet, auf der eine um den abgesenkten Einstiegsbereich 3 umlaufende, gegen die Duschtür 4 gerichtete Dichtung 8 angeordnet ist. Die Dichtung 8 ist vorzugsweise eine Silikondichtung, die nach dem Öffnen der Duschtür 4 wieder ihre ursprüngliche Form annimmt. Die Duschtür 4 selbst ist mittels zweier wasserdichter Scharniere 9 an einer vertikalen Wandhalterung 10 angeordnet. Die Scharniere 9 sind dabei nicht direkt im Wasserbereich angeordnet. Anstelle der Scharniere 9 ist auch die Verwendung eines Scharnierbands denkbar, mit dem die Duschtür 4 an der Wandhalterung 10 oder als Alternative zu der Wandhalterung 10 an einer als Spritzschutz zwischen der Wand und der Duschtür 4 fest angeordneten Glasplatte angeordnet sein kann. Zum Öffnen ist ein Griff 16 an der Duschtür 4 angeordnet. Der Griff 16 beinhaltet, wie noch anhand der Figuren 2 und 3 näher erläutert wird, Teile einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung für die Tür 4. Die Wanne 2 ist dabei als einteiliges Formteil 11 mit integriertem abgesenktem Einstiegsbereich 3 und Rand 5, sowie im Kontaktbereich 7 zwischen Einstiegsbereich 3 und Duschwand 4 ausgeformter Dichtfläche 6 ausgeführt. Das Formteil 11 weist dabei einen Badebereich 12 mit am Wannenboden 35 ausgeformter, nicht dargestellter Sitzfläche, sowie einen Duschbereich 13 mit einem rutschsicheren Wannenboden 35 auf. Die Rutschsicherheit kann dabei wie beispielsweise im Wassersport üblich mittels Sanden, Gummieren, oder rutschsicherem Beschichten beispielsweise im Gelcoat bereits in der Form bei der Herstellung des Formteils 11 erzeugt werden. Ebenso ist eine Ausführung ohne integrierte Sitzfläche und/oder mit glattem Wannenboden 35 im Duschbereich 13 zur leichteren Reinigung denkbar. Das Formteil 11 kann dabei als ein beschichtetes, beispielsweise emailliertes Tiefziehteil aus einem metallischen Werkstoff oder als eine formgespritzte oder tiefgezogene Acrylwanne, oder als ein GFK, CFK oder aus einem anderen faserverstärkten Kunststoff im Handauflegeverfahren oder Spritzverfahren hergestellt sein. Zur Aufstellung wird das Formteil mit dem Wannenboden 35 und dem abgesenkten Einstiegsbereich 3 auf den Fußboden oder den Estrich nach dem Unterfüttern, beispielsweise mittels Mörtel, gesetzt. Das Formteil 11 wird anschließend von außen bis unter den Rand 5 eingemauert und mit Kacheln 15 bzw. Fliesen oder einer Schürze versehen, welche passend zur Badezimmereinrichtung gewählt werden können. Hinter der Duschtür 4 kann an der Wand eine nicht dargestellte, an einer Verschubleiste bzw. -schiene verschiebbare Brause angeordnet sein, so dass bei einer Verwendung der Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 als Dusche die Duschtür 4 als Spritzschutz dient und ein Verspritzen der Umgebung im Badezimmer um die Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 herum verhindert. Die Duschtür 4 kann dabei aus einem klaren, transparenten Werkstoff, beispielsweise Mineralglas oder Plexiglas oder Acrylglas hergestellt sein, um nicht störend und den Raum verkleinernd das Badezimmer und insbesondere die Bade- und Duschvorrichtung 1 einzuengen und abzudunkeln, sondern um beim Baden einen wie in einer normalen Badewanne üblichen, ungestörten Blick in das Badezimmer werfen zu können. In der Nähe der Brause kann auf dem Wannenrand 5 ein nicht dargestellter Sitz angeordnet sein, auf den sich der Duschende oder Badende auch setzen kann.An in FIG. 1 illustrated bathing and shower device 1 consists of a trough 2 with a lowered, approximately at ground level arranged access area 3, which can be sealed watertight by a projecting beyond the edge 5 of the tub 2 in the shower door 4. By the inwardly opening door 4, the bath and shower device 1 is particularly suitable for small bathrooms. On the trough 2, a sealing surface 6 is arranged for this purpose in the access area 7 in the contact region 7 with the shower door 4, on which a seal 8 which revolves around the lowered access area 3 and faces the shower door 4 is arranged. The seal 8 is preferably a silicone gasket, which assumes its original shape after opening the shower door 4 again. The shower door 4 itself is arranged by means of two waterproof hinges 9 on a vertical wall bracket 10. The hinges 9 are not arranged directly in the water area. Instead of the hinges 9 and the use of a hinge band is also conceivable, with which the shower door 4 may be arranged on the wall bracket 10 or as an alternative to the wall bracket 10 on a fixed as splash protection between the wall and the shower door 4 glass plate. To open a handle 16 is arranged on the shower door 4. The handle 16 includes, as still based on the Figures 2 and 3 Parts of a locking device for the door 4. The trough 2 is designed as a one-piece molding 11 with integrated lowered entry area 3 and edge 5, as well as in the contact area 7 between the entry area 3 and shower wall 4 formed sealing surface 6. The molded part 11 in this case has a bathing area 12 with a seat surface, not shown, formed on the tub floor 35, and a shower area 13 with a non-slip tub floor 35. The slip resistance can be generated in the form of in the production of the molded part 11, for example, in the gel coat as usual in water sports by means of sands, rubber coating, or non-slip coating, for example, in the gel coat. Likewise, a design without integrated seat and / or smooth tub bottom 35 in the shower area 13 for easier cleaning is conceivable. The molded part 11 can be used as a coated, for example enamelled Deep-drawn part made of a metallic material or as a molded or deep-drawn acrylic tub, or as a fiberglass, CFRP or other fiber-reinforced plastic by hand lay-up or spraying method. To set up the molding with the tub bottom 35 and the lowered boarding area 3 is placed on the floor or the screed after relining, for example by means of mortar. The molding 11 is then walled in from the outside to below the edge 5 and provided with tiles 15 or tiles or apron, which can be chosen to match the bathroom furniture. Behind the shower door 4 can be arranged on the wall, not shown, slidable on a sliding rail or spray shower, so that when using the bath and shower device 1 as a shower the shower door 4 serves as a splash guard and splashing the environment in the bathroom prevents the bathing and showering device 1 around. The shower door 4 can be made of a clear, transparent material, such as mineral glass or Plexiglas or acrylic glass so as not to disturb and narrow the space the bathroom and especially the bathing and showering device 1 and darken, but to bathe as in a normal bathtub to throw usual, undisturbed view of the bathroom. In the vicinity of the shower, an unillustrated seat can be arranged on the tub rim 5, on which the shower or bather can also sit.

Die Duschtür 4 steht bei gefüllter Wanne 2 unter dem Wasserdruck, der zur Dichtheit beiträgt, so dass die genannte Verriegelungsvorrichtung nur mehr die Sicherheitsfunktion übernehmen muss. Bei anderen Konstruktionen müsste die Duschtür 4 mit den Scharnieren 9 und der Verriegelungsvorrichtung wesentlich massiver gestaltet werden.The shower door 4 is filled with tub 2 under the water pressure, which contributes to the tightness, so that said locking device only has to take over the safety function. In other constructions, the shower door 4 would have to be made substantially more massive with the hinges 9 and the locking device.

Bei einer derartig ausgebildeten Wanne kommt nun die in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellte Erfindung zur Anwendung. Die Erfindung könnte jedoch auch bei einer Wanne verwendet werden, bei der die Tür 4 nicht über den Rand 5 der Badewanne hinausgeht.In such a trained tub is now in the Figures 2 and 3 illustrated invention for use. However, the invention could also be used in a tub in which the door 4 does not go beyond the edge 5 of the bathtub.

Die Badewanne 2 ist am tiefsten Punkt ihres Bodens mit einem Siphon 17 versehen.The bathtub 2 is provided with a siphon 17 at the lowest point of its bottom.

Wie schon erwähnt, ist eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 21 für die Tür 4 vorgesehen. Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung 21 setzt sich nach Fig. 3 aus einem am unteren Ende des Griffs 16 angeordneten Verriegelungszapfen 22 und einem an der Wanne befestigten Verriegelungsgehäuse 14 zusammen, in das der Verriegelungszapfen 22 in nicht dargestellter Weise einrastbar ist. Im eingerasteten Zustand des Verriegelungszapfens 22 steht mit diesem ein erster Sensor 23 in Kontakt.As already mentioned, a locking device 21 is provided for the door 4. This locking device 21 continues Fig. 3 from a arranged at the lower end of the handle 16 locking pin 22 and a fixed to the tub locking housing 14 into which the locking pin 22 can be latched in a manner not shown. In the locked state of the locking pin 22 is a first sensor 23 in contact with this.

Der Verriegelungszapfen 22 ist mit einer Ausnehmung 24 versehen, in die eine Exzenterscheibe 25 einer Sperrachse 26 eingreifen kann. Die Sperrachse 26 ist mit einem Elektromotor 27 verbunden, der die Sperrachse 26 drehen kann. Die Bauteile 25, 26 und 27 bilden eine Verriegelungssicherungsvorrichtung 28. Der Sensor 23 und der Elektromotor 27 stehen über elektrische Leitungen 29 mit einer Steuervorrichtung 30 in Verbindung (Fig. 2).The locking pin 22 is provided with a recess 24 into which an eccentric disk 25 of a locking axle 26 can engage. The locking axle 26 is connected to an electric motor 27 which can rotate the locking axle 26. The components 25, 26 and 27 form a locking securing device 28. The sensor 23 and the electric motor 27 are connected via electrical lines 29 to a control device 30 ( Fig. 2 ).

An diese Steuervorrichtung 30, die hier nur skizzenhaft angedeutet und an einer geeigneten Stelle vom Benutzer bedienbar angeordnet ist, ist über elektrische Leitungen 31 ein zweiter Sensor 32 und über elektrische Leitungen 33 ein Elektromotor 34 angeschlossen. Der Sensor 32 ist in der Nähe des Wannenbodens 35 angeordnet und stellt fest, ob ein bestimmter, niedriger Wasserstand 36 unter- oder überschritten wird. Der Elektromotor 34 ist über einen Seilzug 37 mit dem Ventil 19 verbunden.To this control device 30, which is only sketchily indicated here and arranged to be operated by the user at a suitable location, a second sensor 32 is connected via electrical lines 31 and an electric motor 34 via electrical lines 33. The sensor 32 is disposed in the vicinity of the tub bottom 35 and determines whether a certain, low water level 36 is exceeded or exceeded. The electric motor 34 is connected via a cable 37 with the valve 19.

Die Steuervorrichtung 30 arbeitet derart, dass der Siphon 17 mittels des Ventils 19 erst dann geschlossen werden kann, wenn der Sensor 23 erkannt hat, dass der Verriegelungszapfen 22 der Tür 4 in das Verriegelungsgehäuse 14 richtig eingerastet ist. Zusätzlich wird über den Sensor 32, der durch den bestimmten Wasserstand 36 aktiviert wird, ein Signal über die Leitungen 31 zur Steuervorrichtung 30 gegeben, die dann über die Leitungen 29 den Elektromotor 27 antreibt und damit die Verriegelung der Tür 4 automatisch über die Sperrachse 26 und die Exzenterscheibe 25 sichert. Die Tür 4 kann erst wieder geöffnet werden, wenn das Badewasser unter den bestimmten Wasserstand 36 gesunken ist. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass kein Badewasser über den Einstiegsbereich 3 in das Badezimmer gelangen kann.The control device 30 operates in such a way that the siphon 17 can only be closed by means of the valve 19 when the sensor 23 has detected that the locking pin 22 of the door 4 is correctly locked in the locking housing 14. In addition, via the sensor 32, which is activated by the particular water level 36, a signal via the lines 31 to the control device 30 is given, which then drives the electrical motor 27 via the lines 29 and thus the locking of the door 4 automatically via the locking axis 26 and the eccentric 25 secures. The door 4 can only be opened again when the bath water is under the given Water level 36 has dropped. This ensures that no bath water can get into the bathroom via the entry area 3.
