Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a jointless shower tray that is installed into baths or as a separate shower tray with or without bearing bodies, advantageously at ground level to the adjacent flooring, and to a jointless shower tray. The discharge surface (4) that collects the water and guides it to the discharge opening (6) of the shower tray (1) is produced according to a removal, machining method in material block having at least one plane-parallel surface. According to the invention, the discharge surface (4) is produced in a working step by means of a program-controlled three-dimensional machining method. The edge area (5) of the shower tray (1) merges into the discharge surface (4) in a stepless manner at least in the entry and exit areas thereof. Due to said very convenient machining method, the surface of the shower base can have a variable shape and can be designed without a ledge in an uninterrupted working step. Hence, individualised shower trays can be produced relatively inexpensively in whatever shape the customer desires and without the edges that influence the sure footedness of the user.

Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung einer fugenlosen Duschplatte und fugenlose Duschplatte Process for making a seamless shower plate and seamless shower plate
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer fugenlosen Duschplatte, die in Bädern oder als separater Duschplatz mit oder ohne Trägerkörper eingebaut wird. Einstückige Duschplatten gewährleisten nicht nur die Dichtheit des Duschplatzes, sondern geben Bädern außerdem ein exklusives Aussehen, insbesondere dann, wenn sie aus demselben Material wie der angrenzende Fußboden und in einer Ebene mit diesem eingebaut werden. Außerdem erfüllt ein stufenloser Übergang vom Badfußboden zum Duschbereich die Anforderungen eines barrierefreien Bades. Dabei kann die Duschplatte aus jedem beliebigen bearbeitbaren wasserdichten Naturmaterial, beispielsweise Naturstein oder Holz, aber auch aus Keramik oder kunstharzgebundenen Materialien bestehen. Bekannt ist hierzu eine aus einem Boden mit umlaufenden Rand bestehende Duschtasse aus Naturstein, deren Bodenfläche eine vom Rand zum Wasserablauf abgestufte Oberfläche aufweist. Die abgestufte Oberfläche wird durch Fräsen eines zwei planparallele Ebenen aufweisenden Natursteinblocks hergestellt, wobei der Fräser je Treppenstufe in einer parallel zu den planparallelen Flächen verlaufenden Ebene geführt wird (DE 195 41 692 Al). Der Nachteil dieser Duschtasse besteht darin, dass die abgestufte Bodenfläche, selbst wenn der Höhenunterschied von Stufe zu Stufe lediglich weniger als 1 mm beträgt, an den Füßen als störend empfunden wird. Auch rein optisch wirkt die Fläche nicht homogen, wodurch die Ästhetik des Duschplatzes beeinträchtigt ist. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass Wasser- und Schmutzreste auf den Stufen haften bleiben und sich eine gestufte Bodenfläche schwerer reinigen lässt als eine glatte Oberfläche. Nachteilig ist aber auch das aufwändige Bearbeitungsverfahren, bei dem der Fräser entsprechend der Anzahl der Stufen in unterschiedlich hohen Ebenen geführt werden muss.The invention is based on a method for producing a jointless shower plate, which is installed in bathrooms or as a separate shower area with or without support body. One-piece shower trays not only ensure the tightness of the shower stall, but also give bathrooms an exclusive look, especially when installed in the same material as the adjoining floor and level therewith. In addition, a continuous transition from the bathroom floor to the shower area fulfills the requirements of a barrier-free bathroom. In this case, the shower plate made of any workable waterproof natural material, such as natural stone or wood, but also made of ceramic or resin-bonded materials. Known is this one consisting of a floor with peripheral edge shower tray made of natural stone, the bottom surface of which from the edge to Water outlet has stepped surface. The stepped surface is made by milling a two plane-parallel planes having natural stone block, the router per step is performed in a plane parallel to the plane-parallel surfaces level (DE 195 41 692 Al). The disadvantage of this shower tray is that the stepped floor surface, even if the difference in height from level to level is only less than 1 mm, is felt to be disturbing on the feet. Also, purely visually, the surface is not homogeneous, whereby the aesthetics of the shower is impaired. Another disadvantage is that residues of water and dirt stick to the steps and a stepped floor surface is harder to clean than a smooth surface. However, a disadvantage is also the elaborate machining process, in which the milling cutter must be guided according to the number of stages in different levels.
Eine andere Duschtasse aus Naturstein besteht aus einem glattflächigen Boden mit einem umlaufenden Rand und einem Wasserablauf, wobei der Boden eine vom Rand zum Wasserablauf geneigte Oberfläche aufweist. Der Rand der Duschtasse ist flächenbündig mit dem angrenzenden Oberboden verbunden (DE 201 17 836 Ul). Der umlaufende Rand, der offensichtlich das Austreten von Wasser in den Bereich des Oberbodens verhindern soll, wirkt in zweierlei Hinsicht störend: Zum einen beeinträchtig er die ästhetische Gesamtwirkung der Duschtasse aus Naturstein, da er eine deutliche optische Unterbrechung zwischen Duschtasse und angrenzendem Oberboden darstellt, und zum andern wirkt die durch ihn gebildete Kante für den menschlichen Fuß störend bzw. kann für ihn mitunter eine nicht unerhebliche Verletzungsgefahr darstellen. Ferner ist das Zusammenfügen von Duschtasse und Oberboden mit einem zusätzlichen Aufwand verbunden. Die Erfindung und ihre VorteileAnother shower tray made of natural stone consists of a smooth-surfaced floor with a peripheral edge and a water outlet, the floor has a sloping from the edge to the water surface. The edge of the shower tray is flush with the adjacent upper floor connected (DE 201 17 836 Ul). The peripheral edge, which is apparently intended to prevent the escape of water in the area of the topsoil disturbing in two ways: First, it affects the overall aesthetic effect of the shower tray made of natural stone, as it represents a clear visual interruption between the shower tray and adjacent topsoil, and on the other hand, the edge formed by it interferes with the human foot or can sometimes cause a considerable risk of injury to him represent. Furthermore, the joining of shower tray and topsoil is associated with additional effort. The invention and its advantages
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ist ein sehr komfortables Bearbeitungsverfahren, mit dem eine formvariable Oberflächengestalt des Duschbodens in einem ununterbrochenen Arbeitsgang erzielt werden kann. Die gewünschte Gestalt des Duschbodens, der die Ablauffläche für das Wasser bildet, wird in einem Datenverarbeitungsprogramm gespeichert, das beispielsweise eine CNC-Bearbeitungsmaschine steuert. Dadurch können aus edlen und daher teuren Naturmaterialien, wie z. B. Mamor, Granit, Harthölzern o. ä., bestehenden Materialblöcken Duschplatten für exklusiv Bäder in jeder vom Kunden gewünschten Form, trotz dass es sich bei jeder Duschplatte im Wesentlichen um eine Einzelanfertigung handelt, verhältnismäßig preiswert hergestellt werden. Die Gestalt des Duschbodens betrifft dabei nicht nur die reine Gefällefläche, sondern auch deren Umfangsform, d. h. ihren Randbereich, an dem das Gefälle beginnt, sowie die Öffnung für den Wasserauslauf. Bei der Randgestaltung sind ebenfalls beliebige Formen denkbar. In die Ausarbeitung der Ablauffläche sind auch, abweichend von der üblichen, nach innen eben abfallenden Wasserführung, besondere Gestaltungen der Wasserführung zum Auslauf hin, beispielsweise die Herstellung beliebig gewölbter Flächen, in das Bearbeitungsverfahren integrierbar.The inventive method with the features of claim 1 is a very comfortable processing method, with which a shape-variable surface shape of the shower base can be achieved in a continuous operation. The desired shape of the shower tray that forms the drainage surface for the water is stored in a data processing program that controls, for example, a CNC processing machine. As a result, from noble and therefore expensive natural materials such. B. Mamor, granite, hardwoods o. Ä., Existing material blocks shower plates for exclusive bathrooms in any shape desired by the customer, despite that it is in each shower plate is essentially a custom-made, are made relatively inexpensive. The shape of the shower floor affects not only the pure gradient surface, but also their peripheral shape, d. H. its edge area, where the slope begins, and the opening for the water outlet. When designing the border, any shapes are also conceivable. In the elaboration of the drainage surface are also deviating from the usual, inwardly just sloping water, special designs of the water supply to the outlet, for example, the production of arbitrarily curved surfaces, integrated into the machining process.
Die Herstellung einer Duschplatte aus einem mittels abtragender Bearbeitungsverfahren gestaltbarem Material hat darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass der Übergang von den äußeren Kanten des Materialblocks zur Sichtfläche scharfkantig, also quasi linienförmig ausgebildet werden kann. Das ist die Voraussetzung dafür, dass der an die Duschplatte angrenzende Fußboden mit geringst möglicher Fugenbreite an die Duschplatte angeschlossen werden kann. Im Übrigen soll auch durch die Verwendung der Bezeichnung „Duschplatte" anstelle von „Duschtasse" verdeutlicht werden, dass es sich bei dieser Erfindung nicht um ein beckenförmiges Auffangbehältnis für das Duschwasser handelt, sondern um eine harmonisch in den Fußboden eines Bades integrierte Platte, die zusätzlich die Funktion des Wasserablaufs gewährleistet.The production of a shower plate from a material which can be shaped by means of abrasive machining processes has the additional advantage that the transition from the outer edges of the material block to the visible surface is sharp-edged, that is to say quasi linear can be trained. This is the prerequisite for connecting the floor adjacent to the shower panel to the shower panel with the smallest possible joint width. Incidentally, it should be clarified by the use of the term "shower plate" instead of "shower tray" that this invention is not a basin-shaped collecting container for the shower water, but a harmoniously integrated into the floor of a bath plate, in addition Ensures the function of the water drainage.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird zunächst die Ablauffläche der Duschplatte hergestellt, wobei das Bearbeitungswerkzeug von deren oberen Rand weg bis zum tiefsten Punkt der Duschplatte und in umgekehrter Richtung bewegt wird. Immer dann, wenn sich das Bearbeitungswerkzeug auf den Rand der Duschplatte zubewegt, läuft es an der Oberfläche der Duschplatte aus, so dass von der Ablauffläche zum Rand der Duschplatte ein stufenfreier Übergang entsteht. Bei dieser Verfahrensweise bildet sich die Kontur der Ablauffläche sukzessive im Verlauf der Bearbeitung heraus. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Ablauffläche gegenüber dem Randbereich der Duschplatte ohne einen störenden Absatz auch optisch hervorzuheben. Der absatzfreie Übergang von der Ablauffläche zum unbearbeiteten Randbereich ist insbesondere für den Bereich des Ein- und Ausstiegs der Duschplatte wichtig. Der Vorteil des absatzfreien Übergangs ist auch bei solchen Duschplatten gegeben, die keinen oder nur teilweise einen horizontalen Randbereich aufweisen, bei denen also der obere Rand der Ablauffläche zumindest teilweise gleichzeitig die Außenkante der Duschplatte bildet. Bei einer solchen Duschplatte schließen sich der obere Rand der Ablauffläche oder Teile von ihm ebenfalls ohne Absatz unmittelbar an den Fußboden an.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the drainage surface of the shower plate is first prepared, wherein the machining tool is moved away from its upper edge to the lowest point of the shower plate and in the reverse direction. Whenever the processing tool moves toward the edge of the shower tray, it runs out on the surface of the shower tray, creating a step-free transition from the drainage surface to the edge of the shower tray. In this procedure, the contour of the drainage surface is formed successively in the course of processing. In this way, it is possible to visually highlight the drainage surface with respect to the edge region of the shower plate without a disturbing paragraph. The heel-free transition from the drainage area to the untreated edge area is particularly important for the area of entry and exit of the shower tray. The advantage of the heel-free transition is also given in those shower trays that have no or only partially a horizontal edge region, in which therefore the upper edge of the drainage surface at least partially simultaneously forms the outer edge of the shower tray. In such a shower plate close the upper edge of the Drainage surface or parts of it also without paragraph directly to the floor.
Nach einer anderweitigen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird nach der Herstellung des Materialblocks zunächst die Kontur des oberen Randes der Ablauffläche hergestellt. In der Regel wird es sich um Materialblöcke handeln, die zwei planparallele Flächen aufweisen. In dem Fall wird diese Randkontur eine geschlossene Horizontale beliebiger Form darstellen, von der das ebenfalls beliebig gestaltete Gefälle zur Ablauf Öffnung der Duschplatte hin führt. Der Beginn der Bearbeitung mit dieser Horizontalen vereinfacht die Programmierung des Bearbeitungsverfahrens.According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the contour of the upper edge of the drainage surface is first prepared after the production of the material block. In general, they will be material blocks that have two plane-parallel surfaces. In the case, this edge contour will represent a closed horizontal of any shape, from which the arbitrarily shaped slope leads to the drain opening of the shower plate. The beginning of processing with this horizontal simplifies the programming of the machining process.
Nach einer zusätzlichen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird der an den unbearbeiteten Rand der Duschplatte angrenzende obere Rand der Ablauffläche angefast. Dadurch wird ein noch geschmeidigerer Übergang von der Ablauffläche zum Rand der Duschplatte hin erreicht. Dies ist besonders dann von Vorteil, wenn durch Dickentoleranzen des Materialblocks in diesem Übergangsbereich leichte Höhenunterschiede, die sich durchaus im Bereich von Zehnteln bis zu wenigen Millimetern bewegen können, auftreten. Diese Höhenunterschiede werden durch das Anfasen kaschiert.According to an additional advantageous embodiment of the invention adjacent to the unprocessed edge of the shower plate upper edge of the drainage surface is chamfered. This achieves an even smoother transition from the drainage surface to the edge of the shower tray. This is particularly advantageous if, due to thickness tolerances of the material block in this transition region slight differences in height, which can move in the range of tenths to a few millimeters, occur. These height differences are masked by chamfering.
Nach einer zusätzlichen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Herstellung der Ablauföffnung in das Bearbeitungsverfahren integriert. Bei der Herstellung eines verdeckten Auslaufs wird dann gleichzeitig noch die Ausarbeitung der Ausnehmung für die Abdeckung der Ablauföffnung in das Verfahren integriert. Dadurch entsteht die Duschplatte in einem ununterbrochenen Prozess. Diese Vorgehensweise ist auch deshalb vorteilhaft, weil in der Programmsteuerung ohnehin die Lage der Ablauföffnung als tiefster Punkt der Ablauffläche berücksichtigt werden muss.According to an additional advantageous embodiment of the invention, the production of the drain opening is integrated into the machining process. During the production of a concealed spout, the preparation of the recess for covering the drain opening is then integrated into the process at the same time. This creates the shower tray in an uninterrupted process. This procedure is also advantageous because in the program control anyway the position of the drain opening must be considered as the lowest point of the drainage area.
Nach einer diesbezüglich vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Ablauföffnung nach der Fertigstellung der Ablauffläche an deren tiefsten Stelle ohne Unterbrechung des Bearbeitungsvorgangs in die Duschplatte eingebracht. Bei der Herstellung eines verdeckten Auslaufs wird dann gleichzeitig noch die Ausarbeitung der Ausnehmung für die Abdeckung des Auslaufs in das Verfahren integriert. Dadurch braucht das Bearbeitungswerkzeug den Materialblock lediglich noch an seiner dünnsten Stelle auszuarbeiten. Selbstverständlich ist es auch denkbar, zuerst die Öffnung für den Auslauf in den Materialblock einzubringen und anschließend die Ablauffläche zwischen dieser Öffnung und dem Rand auszuarbeiten.According to a related advantageous embodiment of the invention, the drain opening is introduced after the completion of the drainage surface at its lowest point without interruption of the machining process in the shower tray. In the production of a concealed spout then the preparation of the recess for the cover of the spout is then integrated into the process at the same time. As a result, the machining tool only needs to work out the block of material at its thinnest point. Of course, it is also conceivable to first introduce the opening for the outlet in the material block and then work out the drainage area between this opening and the edge.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung werden die Ablauffläche und die Ablauföffnung durch 3-D-Fräsen aus dem Materialblock herausgearbeitet. Dieses Verfahren erlaubt eine schnelle Bearbeitung mit konventionellen Werkzeugen und Bearbeitungsmaschinen und ist daher besonders preisgünstig.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the drainage surface and the drain opening are machined out of the block of material by 3-D milling. This method allows rapid processing with conventional tools and processing machines and is therefore particularly inexpensive.
Nach einer anderweitigen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Ablauffläche der Duschplatte einer Finish- Bearbeitung unterzogen. So kann z. B. durch ein abschließendes Sandstrahlen je nach verwendeter Körnung eine Verfeinerung der Oberfläche oder eine Aufrauhung zur Verbesserung der Trittsicherheit erreicht werden. Auch die Einbringung von Mustern zur Verbesserung des ästhetischen Erscheinungsbildes ist auf diese Weise möglich. Eine erfindungsgemäß hergestellte Duschplatte zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Übergang von der unbearbeiteten Randfläche des Grundkörpers zur bearbeiteten Ablauffläche zumindest in dem Bereich des Ausstiegs kontinuierlich, als ohne störende Absätze ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist dieser Bereich für den menschlichen Fuß quasi nicht spürbar und birgt somit auch keine Verletzungsgefahr.According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the drainage surface of the shower plate is subjected to a finish processing. So z. B. by a final sandblasting depending on the grain used a refinement of the surface or a roughening to improve slip resistance can be achieved. The introduction of patterns to improve the aesthetic appearance is possible in this way. A shower panel produced according to the invention is characterized in that the transition from the unprocessed edge surface of the base body to the processed drainage surface is formed continuously, at least in the region of the exit, as without disturbing shoulders. As a result, this area is virtually unnoticeable for the human foot and thus does not pose a risk of injury.
Nach einer diesbezüglich vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Übergang vom Randbereich in die Ablauffläche als eine die Ablauffläche als geschlossene Kontur umgebende, durchgehend bearbeitete Fläche ausgebildet. Dadurch wird die Umfangsform der Ablauffläche, so wie sie von der Programmierung her vorgesehen ist, besonders gut hervorgehoben, da dieser Randbereich unabhängig von Dickentoleranzen des Materialblocks durchgehend von dem Bearbeitungswerkzeug in seiner Oberflächenstruktur verändert wird. Da es sich bei den Dickentoleranzen in der Regel lediglich um wenige Zehntel bis ein Millimeter handelt, dürft dadurch auch kein spürbarer Absatz entstehen. Die Herstellung dieses durchgehend bearbeiteten Randbereichs kann, wie in Anspruch 3 beschrieben, zu Beginn des Bearbeitungsverfahrens erfolgen. Dieser Randbereich hat neben seiner ästhetischen Wirkung aber noch eine wesentliche technische Funktion: da er eine rauhere Oberflächenstruktur als der angrenzende unbearbeitete Rand besitzt, unterbricht er gleichzeitig die Kapillarwirkung des Wasser und behindert dadurch den Wasserfluss nach außen.According to an embodiment of the invention which is advantageous in this respect, the transition from the edge region into the drainage surface is designed as a continuous surface which surrounds the drainage surface as a closed contour. As a result, the peripheral shape of the drainage surface, as provided by the programming, is highlighted particularly well, since this edge region is continuously changed by the machining tool in its surface structure, regardless of thickness tolerances of the material block. Since the thickness tolerances are usually only a few tenths to a millimeter, thereby no appreciable paragraph may arise. The production of this continuously processed edge region can, as described in claim 3, take place at the beginning of the machining process. In addition to its aesthetic effect, this edge area still has an essential technical function: since it has a rougher surface structure than the adjacent untreated edge, it simultaneously interrupts the capillary action of the water and thus impedes the flow of water to the outside.

Fig. 1 zeigt die Hauptteile eines Duschplatzes mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Duschplatte 1, zwei Wandplatten 2 und einer Unterbauplatte 3. Die erfindungsgemäße Duschplatte 1 ist bei dieser Variante quadratisch gestaltet und aus den Fig. 2 und 3 näher erkennbar. Ihre Oberfläche wird durch eine ununterbrochene, leicht konkave ausgearbeitete Gefällefläche 4 und einen diese umgebenden äußeren Rand 5 gebildet. Obwohl sie durch ein Material abtragendes Verfahren hergestellt ist, weist die Gefälleoberfläche 4 keinerlei, also auch nicht durch ihre Herstellung bedingte, Kanten oder Absätze auf, so dass ihre Qualität bezüglich des haptischen Empfindens vom äußeren Rand bis zum Wasserablauf durchaus mit der glatten Oberfläche tiefgezogener oder gegossener Duschtassen vergleichbar ist. Wie aus Fig. 3 erkennbar, geht auch der äußere Rand 5 ohne Absatz oder Kante in die Gefällefläche 4 über. An ihrem tiefsten Punkt weist die Gefällefläche 4 eine Öffnung 6 zum Anschluss an die Entwässerung des Duschplatzes auf, wobei die Öffnung durch eine Abdeckung 7 verschließbar ist. Die Wandplatten 2 werden auf den äußeren Rand 5 der Duschplatte 1 aufgesetzt und gegenüber diesem und an ihren aneinander stoßenden Längskanten abgedichtet. Zur Aufnahme der Wandplatten 2 können in die Duschplatte 1 Nuten eingearbeitet sein. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind allerdings nur Nuten 8 zur Aufnahme von den Duschplatz abschließenden Duschtrennwänden in den äußeren Rand 5 eingearbeitet.Fig. 1 shows the main parts of a shower area with a shower plate 1 according to the invention, two wall panels 2 and a base plate 3. The shower plate 1 according to the invention is square in this variant and from Figs. 2 and 3 in more detail. Its surface is formed by an uninterrupted, slightly concave gradient surface 4 and a surrounding outer edge 5. Although it is made by a material-removing process, the slope surface 4 has no, so not caused by their production, edges or heels, so that their quality with respect to the haptic sensation from the outer edge to the water well with the smooth surface deep-drawn or cast shower bases is comparable. As can be seen from Fig. 3, and the outer edge 5 is without paragraph or edge in the gradient surface 4 via. At its lowest point, the gradient surface 4 has an opening 6 for connection to the drainage of the shower area, wherein the opening can be closed by a cover 7. The wall panels 2 are placed on the outer edge 5 of the shower plate 1 and sealed against this and at their abutting longitudinal edges. To accommodate the wall panels 2 1 grooves can be incorporated into the shower tray. In the present example, however, only grooves 8 are incorporated to accommodate the shower enclosure final shower partitions in the outer edge 5.
Die Anordnung der Duschplatte 1 zu einem angrenzenden Fußboden 9 ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Zur Montage des Duschplatzes ist in dem Fußboden 9 eine den Abmessungen der Duschplatte 1 entsprechende Vertiefung vorgesehen, deren Tiefe, gemessen von der Oberkante des Fußbodens 9 bis zur Auflagefläche der Unterbauplatte 3, der Dicke von Duschplatte 1 und Unterbauplatte 3 entspricht, so dass die Oberfläche des Fußbodens 9 und des äußeren Randes 5 der Duschplatte 1 eine Ebene bilden.The arrangement of the shower plate 1 to an adjacent floor 9 is shown in Fig. 4. For mounting the shower area is in the floor 9 a the dimensions of the shower plate. 1 corresponding recess provided whose depth, measured from the top edge of the floor 9 to the support surface of the base plate 3, the thickness of shower plate 1 and base plate 3 corresponds, so that the surface of the floor 9 and the outer edge 5 of the shower plate 1 form a plane.
Bei einem zweiten, in den Fig. 5 bis 7 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird ein Duschplatz mit einer Duschplatte 10 beschrieben, deren Ablauffläche 11 leicht konvex gewölbt ist, d. h. dass sich in ihrer Mitte der höchste Punkt befindet. Das Gefälle der Auflauffläche 11 führt zu einer in dem Außenrand 12 der Duschplatte 10 umlaufenden Ablaufrinne 13, die wiederum ein Gefälle zu einer sinnvollerweise am Rand der Duschplatte 10 angeordneten Ablauföffnung 14 hin aufweist. Das Gefälle ist jeweils durch Pfeile gekennzeichnet. In der in Fig. 7 gezeigten Draufsicht auf die Duschplatte 10 sind auch die beiden Nuten 8 zur Aufnahme von Duschtrennwänden erkennbar.In a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a shower area with a shower plate 10 is described, the drainage surface 11 is slightly convex, d. H. that in its middle is the highest point. The slope of the ramp surface 11 leads to a circulating in the outer edge 12 of the shower tray 10 gutter 13, which in turn has a slope to a meaningfully arranged on the edge of the shower plate 10 drain opening 14 out. The gradient is indicated by arrows. In the plan view of the shower plate 10 shown in Fig. 7, the two grooves 8 for receiving shower partitions are recognizable.
In Fig. 8 ist eine Duschplatte 15 mit rechteckiger Grundform dargestellt, bei der zusätzlich zu einer Ablauföffnung 16 eine umlaufende Überlaufrinne 17 in den äußeren Rand eingearbeitet ist. Diese kann bis zu einem Millimeter tief sein und dient dazu, den Wasserfluss zum äußeren Rand hin zu unterbrechen.In Fig. 8, a shower plate 15 is shown with a rectangular basic shape, in which in addition to a drain opening 16, a circumferential overflow channel 17 is incorporated in the outer edge. This can be up to a millimeter deep and serves to interrupt the flow of water to the outer edge.
Die Fig. 9 bis 14 sollen die Vielfalt der Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten von Duschplatten durch das erfϊndungsgemäßeFigs. 9 to 14 are intended to illustrate the variety of design options of shower trays by the erfϊndungsgemäße
Bearbeitungsverfahren zeigen. In Fig. 9 sind neun Duschplatten mit einer rechteckigen äußeren Form und Entwässerung nach innen dargestellt, wobei die Ablaufflächen eine beliebig unterschiedliche äußere Begrenzung aufweisen und die Öffnung für die Entwässerung an beliebigen Stellen der Duschplatte angeordnet sind. Die sich dadurch ergebenden unterschiedlich konkav geformten Ablaufflächen können durch das erfindungsgemäße Bearbeitungsverfahren ohne großen Aufwand hergestellt werden, ohne dass spürbare Kanten entstehen. Selbst die äußere Begrenzung der Ablauffläche, die in allen Figuren zur Verdeutlichung der Form durch eine geschlossene Line dargestellt ist, ist beim Betreten der Duschplatte nicht spürbar, sondern lediglich durch die unterschiedliche Oberflächenstruktur von horizontalem äußeren Rand und Ablauffläche erkennbar, die durch eine unterschiedliche Bearbeitung entsteht. Fig. 10 zeigt eine von zwei Personen gleichzeitig nutzbare Doppelduschplatte 18 mit zwei Ablauföffnungen 16, wobei die Ablauffläche 19 vorne und hinten mit unterschiedlichen Radien 20 versehen ist.Show machining process. In Fig. 9 nine shower trays are shown with a rectangular outer shape and drainage to the inside, wherein the drainage surfaces have any different outer boundary and the opening for drainage anywhere on the shower tray are arranged. The resulting differently concave shaped run-off surfaces can be produced by the inventive processing method without great effort, without noticeable edges. Even the outer boundary of the drainage surface, which is represented in all figures to illustrate the shape by a closed line, is not noticeable when entering the shower plate, but only recognizable by the different surface structure of the horizontal outer edge and drainage surface, which results from a different processing , FIG. 10 shows a double shower plate 18, which can be used by two persons at the same time, with two drainage openings 16, wherein the drainage surface 19 is provided with different radii 20 at the front and at the back.
Eine außen in Form einer Schnecke gestaltete Duschplatte 21 ist in Fig. 11 dargestellt. Sie besteht aus einem ebenen Teil 22, der die Form eines Viertelkreises aufweist, und einem Gefälleteil 23, in dem sich auch die Ablauföffnung 16 befindet. Der ebene Teil 22 kann als Einstiegsbereich der Dusche gestaltet sein. Das Gefälle beginnt ohne einen ebenen Randbereich unmittelbar an der runden äußeren Kante der Duschplatte 21. Die Montage einer solchen Duschplatte erfordert allerdings einen höheren Aufwand bei der Gestaltung des angrenzenden Fußbodens, der der schneckenförmigen Gestalt der Duschplatte 21 angepasst werden muss. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, eine solche Duschplatte als quaderförmige Platte herzustellen und die schneckenförmige Gestalt des Gefälleteils 23 mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens aus der Platte herauszuarbeiten, so dass der obere Rand des Gefälleteils 23 stufenlos in eine ebene, ggf. unbearbeitete Randfläche übergeht. In Fig. 12 ist wiederum eine Duschplatte 24 mit einer rechteckigen äußeren Form gezeigt. Ihre Ablauffläche 25 folgt im Wesentlichen der äußeren Form. Lediglich im Einstiegsbereich der Dusche ist rechts und links ein breiterer ebener Randbereich 26 vorgesehen. In der Ablauffläche 25 ist eine längliche Ablauföffnung 27 angeordnet. Eine solche Duschplatte 24 kann ebenfalls von zwei Personen gleichzeitig benutzt werden.An outside in the form of a screw designed shower plate 21 is shown in Fig. 11. It consists of a flat part 22, which has the shape of a quarter circle, and a slope part 23, in which the drain opening 16 is located. The flat part 22 may be designed as an entry area of the shower. The slope begins without a flat edge region directly to the round outer edge of the shower plate 21. However, the installation of such a shower plate requires more effort in the design of the adjacent floor, which must be adapted to the helical shape of the shower plate 21. Of course, it is also possible to produce such a shower plate as a cuboid plate and herauszuarbeiten the helical shape of the slope portion 23 by means of the method of the invention from the plate, so that the upper edge of the slope portion 23 passes smoothly into a flat, possibly unprocessed edge surface. In Fig. 12 again a shower plate 24 is shown with a rectangular outer shape. Its drainage surface 25 essentially follows the outer shape. Only in the entry area of the shower, a wider, flat edge region 26 is provided on the right and left. In the drainage surface 25, an elongated drain opening 27 is arranged. Such a shower plate 24 can also be used by two people at the same time.
Die Fig. 13 und 14 zeigen zwei Duschplatten 28 und 29 mit einer durch Kreisbogen begrenzten Ablauffläche 30, wobei die Duschplatte 28 eine elliptische Ablauföffnung 31 und die Duschplatte 29 eine längliche geschwungene Ablauföffnung 32 aufweist.FIGS. 13 and 14 show two shower trays 28 and 29 with a drainage surface 30 delimited by circular arcs, the shower tray 28 having an elliptical drainage opening 31 and the shower tray 29 having an elongated curved discharge opening 32.
