Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse mit einem mit Abflussarmaturen verbundenen Bodenteil sowie ein einen Umfang des Bodenteils vollständig umgebendes, im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Bodenteil angeordnetes Wand- bzw. Seitenelement.The present invention relates to a bathtub and / or shower tray with a bottom part connected to drain fittings and a wall or side element completely surrounding a circumference of the bottom part substantially perpendicular to the bottom part.
Badewannen und/oder Duschtassen finden sich in unterschiedlichsten Größen, Ausgestaltungen und auch Tiefen in nahezu jeder Wohnung bzw. in jedem Eigenheim, wobei insbesondere in modernen Eigenheimen der Wunsch der Bewohner, ein Badezimmer bzw. mehrere Badezimmer, welche(s) sowoh eine Badewanne als auch eine Duschtasse beinhalten, aufgrund des eingeschränkten Platzangebots meist nicht in Erfüllung gehen kann. Beide Elemente, die Badewanne und auch die Duschtasse haben ihre Vor- und ihre Nachteile. So ist es bei einer Duschtasse für ältere und auch behinderte Personen einfach hineinzusteigen, um zu Duschen, andererseits ist eine Ganzkörperreinigung, insbesondere bei eingeschränkter Beweglichkeit oder auch bei Kindern in einer Badewanne bequemer und einfacher, in welche jedoch das Einsteigen und Aussteigen aufgrund des Randes bzw. ihrer Höhe ohne Hilfsmittel, insbesondere für Behinderte, kaum möglich ist.Bathtubs and / or shower trays can be found in different sizes, configurations and depths in almost every apartment or in each home, especially in modern homes, the desire of the residents, a bathroom or several bathrooms, which (s) sowoh a bathtub as Include a shower tray, due to the limited space usually can not come true. Both elements, the bathtub and the shower tray have their advantages and disadvantages. So it is in a shower tray for older and disabled people just hineinusteigen to showers, on the other hand is a full body cleaning, especially with reduced mobility or even in children in a bathtub comfortable and simple, but in which the boarding and alighting due to the edge or their height without aids, especially for the disabled, is hardly possible.
Um es älteren oder behinderten Personen zu ermöglichen, in eine tiefe Badewanne einfach einzusteigen, wurden bereits Badewannen mit Einstiegsöffnungen bzw. Türen versehen und zur Verfügung gestellt, in welchen der Benutzer einfach ein- und aussteigen kann. Nachteilig bei derartigen Badewannen ist jedoch Immer noch das Faktum, dass für ein Duschen ein derartig tiefes Element, wie eine herkömmliche Badewanne, nicht erforderlich ist und andererseits in einer leicht zujängigen Duschtasse sich höchstens bewegliche Personen oder Kinder niedersetzen können, so dass sie wenigstens teilweise in dem Wasser zu sitzen kommen.In order to allow elderly or disabled persons to easily enter a deep bathtub, bathtubs have already been provided with entry openings or doors and made available in which the user can simply get in and out. The disadvantage of such baths, however, is still the fact that for a shower such a deep element, such as a conventional bathtub is not required and on the other hand in a slightly zujängigen shower tray can sit down at most moving people or children, so that they at least partially in come to sit in the water.

Um somit beiden Erfordernissen in ein und demselben Gerät Rechnung zu tragen, nämlich eine leichte Ein- bzw. Aussteigbarkelt und keine bzw. eine geringe Bauhöhe während eines Duschens und andererseits eine entsprechende Bautiefe, um ausreichend Wasser einfüllen zu können, um ein Vollbad nehmen zu können, Ist es daher erforderlich, eine Badewanne oder Duschtasse zur Verfügung zu stellen, in welcher die Wandhöhe veränderbar ausgebildet ist.Thus, to accommodate both requirements in the same device, namely a slight entry and exit point and no or a low height during a shower and on the other hand, a corresponding depth to fill enough water to be able to take a full bath , It is therefore necessary to provide a bathtub or shower tray available, in which the wall height is designed to be changeable.
Die vorliegende Erfindung zielt daher auf eine derartige Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse ab, welche so ausgebildet ist, dass ihre Wand- bzw. Seitenelementhöhe und insbesondere ihre Einstiegshöhe veränderbar ist.The present invention therefore aims at such a bathtub and / or shower tray, which is designed so that its wall or side element height and in particular its entry height is changeable.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse im Wesentlichen dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Wand- bzw. Seitenelement mehrteilig aus miteinander dicht aneinander festlegbaren, im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elementen ausgebildet ist, dass die im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente gegeneinander in Richtung einer Höhenerstreckung der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse verlagerbar, insbesondere in- und auseinander verschiebbar sind, dass zwischen zwei im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elementen wenigstens ein im Wesentlichen ringförmiges Dichtelement vorgesehen ist, dass wenigstens an dem gegenüber dem Bodenteil am weitesten verlagerbaren ringförmigen Element wenigstens ein daran angelenkter Hebe- und Absenkmechanismus vorgesehen ist, und dass gegebenenfalls ein wenigstens teilweise im Inneren der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse angeordnetes Sitz- oder Polsterelement vorgesehen ist. Indem das Wand- bzw. Seitenelement mehrteilig aus dicht aneinander festlegbaren, im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elementen ausgebildet ist und die im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente gegeneinander in Richtung einer Höhenerstreckung der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse verlagerbar sind, insbesondere in- und auseinander schiebbar sind, gelingt es, die Höhe der Badewanne beliebig zu verändern. Als minimale Höhe ist hierbei die Höhe von einem im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Element bzw. bei versenkbaren ringförmigen Elementen eine ebene Fläche anzusehen und die max male Höhe die Höhe sämtlicher in auseinander gefahrenem Zustand erreichbaren Höhenerstreckung der ringförmigen Elemente. Mit einer derartigen Ausbildung kann die Badewanne sowohl zum Duschen verwendet werden als auch zum Baden. Es ist ein einfacher Einstieg möglich und insbesondere, wenn beispielsweise Kleinkinder gebadet werden müssen, die einen geringeren Wasserbedarf und eine geringere Wassertiefe erfordern, kann ein und dieselbe Badewanne für sämtliche Einsatzzwecke herangezogen werden. Darüber hinaus kann der Benutzer beliebig die Höhe wählen, um die Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse entsprechend einzusetzen. Falls dies gewünscht Ist, kann die Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse auch so ausgebildet sein, dass sie in dem Boden versenkt angeordnet ist, so dass im eingefahrenen Zustand der im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente diese vollständig im Boden verschwinden und eine Einstiegshöhe überhaupt nicht vorhanden ist. Hierbei kann die Ausbildung so getroffen sein, dass entweder in die Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse hinunter gestiegen wird oder aber eine Rinne zum Versenken der ringförmigen Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente bzw. ein doppelter Boden angeordnet ist, so dass diese im Wesentlichen eben angeordnet ist und nur ein Spalt im Boden sichtbar verbleibt.To solve this problem, the bathtub and / or shower tray is essentially characterized in that the wall or side element is formed in several parts from each other tightly together, substantially annular elements, that the substantially annular elements against each other in the direction of a vertical extension of the bathtub and / or shower tray displaced, in particular in and be moved apart, that between two substantially annular elements at least one substantially annular sealing element is provided that at least on the bottom part of the most displaceable annular element at least one hinged lifting and lowering mechanism is provided, and that optionally provided at least partially disposed inside the bathtub and / or shower tray seat or upholstery element. By the wall or side element is formed in several parts of tightly attachable, substantially annular elements and the substantially annular elements are mutually displaceable in the direction of a vertical extent of the bath and / or shower tray, in particular pushed in and out, it succeeds to change the height of the bathtub as desired. As the minimum height here is the height of a substantially annular element or retractable annular elements to be considered a flat surface and the max male height the height of all in apart-driven state achievable height extent of the annular elements. With such a design, the bathtub can be used both for showering and for bathing. It is an easy entry possible and in particular, if, for example, toddlers need to be bathed, which requires less water and require a smaller depth of water, one and the same bath can be used for all purposes. In addition, the user can choose any height to use the bath and / or shower tray accordingly. If so desired, the bathtub or shower tray can also be designed so that it is sunk in the ground, so that in the retracted state of the substantially annular wall or side elements completely disappear in the ground and an entry level does not exist is. Here, the training may be such that either rose into the bath or shower tray down or a gutter for sinking the annular wall or side elements or a double bottom is arranged, so that it is arranged substantially flat and only a gap remains visible in the ground.
Indem die Ausbildung weiterhin so getroffen ist, dass zwischen zwei Im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elementen wenigstens ein im Wesentlichen ringförmiges Dichtelement vorgesehen ist, gelingt es, eine zum Inneren de Badewanne Im Wesentlichen gleichmäßige Oberfläche zu schaffen, welche frei von Ecken und Kanten ist, um ein unangenehmes Gefühl beim Anlehnen an die Wand der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse zu verhindern und gleichzeitig einen Wasseraustritt aus der Wanne mit Sicherheit hintanzuhalten.By the formation is further made so that at least one substantially annular sealing element is provided between two substantially annular elements, it is possible to create a substantially uniform to the interior of the bath substantially uniform surface, which is free of corners and edges to an unpleasant To prevent the feeling of leaning against the wall of the bathtub and / or shower tray and at the same time to prevent water leakage from the tub with certainty.
Indem die Ausbildung weiterhin so gebildet st, das wenigstens an dem gegenüber dem Bodentell am weitesten verlagerbaren ringförmigen Element wenigstens ein Hebe- oder Absenkmechanismus angelenkt ist, kann das Höhenverstellen der im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse mittels eines Hebe- und Absenkmechanismus vorgenommen werden und es kann somit eine gleichmäßige bzw. kontinuierliche Höhenanpassung der Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse unabhängig von jeder physischen Kraft erreicht werden. Es ist in diesem Zusammenhang darauf zu achten, dass die Badewanne mit im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Bodenteil angeordneten Wand- und Seitenelementen versehen ist, da eine zu große Winkelablenkung aus der Senkrechten ein Dichtproblem der Badewanne bei der Höhenverstellung verursachen würde. Eine gewisse Neigung kann hierbei mit komprimierbaren Dichtungen kompensiert werden, wobei jedoch hier nur ein bedingtes Maß an Neigung der Wand- bzw. Seitelemente zur Senkrechten zulässig ist.By further forming the formation so that at least one lifting or lowering mechanism is articulated at least on the annular element which is the most displaceable with respect to the base plate, the height adjustment of the substantially annular elements of the bath and / or shower tray can be carried out by means of a lifting and lowering mechanism Thus, a uniform or continuous height adjustment of the bathtub or shower tray can be achieved independently of any physical force. It should be noted in this context that the bathtub is provided with substantially perpendicular to the bottom part arranged wall and side elements, since too large an angular deflection from the vertical would cause a sealing problem of the bathtub in the height adjustment. A certain inclination can be compensated with compressible seals, but here only a limited degree of inclination of the wall or side elements is permissible to the vertical.
Schließlich kann, wie dies einer fakultativen Weiterbildung der Erfindung entspricht, ein wenigstens teilweise im Inneren der Badewanne angeordnetes, gegebenenfalls höhenverstellbares Sitz- oder Polsterelement vorgesehen sein. Mit einem derartigen Sitz- bzw. Pol-sterelement, welches sich insbesondere über die Wand des Kopfteils der Badewanne erstrecken kann, wird sichergestellt, dass jegliches unangenehme Gefühl beim Anlehnen an die Wand hintangehalten werden kann und insbesondere eine homogene Oberfläche zur Verfügung gestellt wird, an welcher sich der Benutzer anlehnen kann. Auch die Höhenverstellbarkeit dieses Elements kann unabhängig von der gewählten Höhe der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse verwendet werden und kann beispielsweise gleichzeitig als Kissen für den Kopf oder Rücken bzw. als Antirutschboden der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse verwendet werden.Finally, as this corresponds to an optional further development of the invention, an optionally height-adjustable seat or upholstery element arranged at least partially in the interior of the bathtub can be provided. With such a seat or pole element, which can extend in particular over the wall of the head part of the bathtub, it is ensured that any unpleasant feeling when leaning against the wall can be kept and in particular a homogeneous surface is provided on which the user can lean against. The height adjustment of this element can be used regardless of the selected height of the bath and / or shower tray and can for example be used simultaneously as a pillow for the head or back or as anti-slip floor of the bath and / or shower tray.
Um eine besonders gute Abdichtung der einzeinen, aneinander festlegbaren, im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente zur Verfügung zu stelien, ist die Erfindung dahingehend weitergebildet, dass die im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente als ineinander eingreifbare Z-Profile ausgebildet sind und dass zwischen ineinander eingreifenden Schenkeln der Z-Profile Dichtelemente vorgesehen sind. Indem die im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Wand- und Seitenelemente als ineinander eingreifende Z-Profile ausgebildet sind, wird einerseits sichergestellt, dass ein zu weites Auseinanderfahren der Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente verhindert wird, da im Falle des maximalen Höhenverschiebens immer die jeweiligen Z-förmigen Ränder ineinander eingreifen und somit eine weitere Verschiebung verhindern und andererseits wird gewährleistet, dass im Bereich der ineinander eingreifenden Schenkel der Z-Profile Dichtelemente einlegbar sind, welche einerseits unverlierbar sind und andererseits eine Abdichtung von jeweils zwei benachbarten Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente untereinander gewährleisten. Darüber hinaus st eine derartige Ausbildung ästhetisch und insbesondere die zum Inneren einer Badewanne gerichtete Oberfläche ist Im Wesentlichen glatt und weist keinerlei Stufen auf. Lediglich der Ordnung halber ist festzuhalten, dass beispielsweise die Außenseite der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse mit einer flexiblen Verkleidung versehen sein kann, um der Badewanne oder Duschtasse ein ästhetisches Äußeres zu verleihen.In order to provide a particularly good sealing of the individual, substantially fixable, substantially annular elements, the invention is developed to the effect that the substantially annular elements are designed as intermeshable Z-profiles and that between intermeshing legs of the Z-profiles Sealing elements are provided. By the substantially annular wall and side elements are formed as interlocking Z-profiles, on the one hand ensures that too wide moving apart of the wall or side elements is prevented, since in the case of maximum height displacement always the respective Z-shaped edges together engage and thus prevent further displacement and on the other hand it is ensured that sealing elements can be inserted in the region of the intermeshing legs of the Z-profiles, which on the one hand are captive and on the other hand ensure a seal of two adjacent wall or side elements with each other. Moreover, such an embodiment is aesthetically and in particular the surface facing the interior of a bathtub is substantially smooth and has no steps. Merely for the sake of order, it should be noted that, for example, the outside of the bathtub and / or shower tray may be provided with a flexible covering to give the bathtub or shower tray an aesthetic appearance.
Um eine sichere Abdichtung der einzelnen Z-förmigen Profile der Wand- bzw. Seitenteile gegeneinander zu gewährleisten, ist die Erfindung im Wesentlichen dadurch weitergebildet, dass als Dichtelemente komprimierbare der Form der Z-Profile entsprechende im Wesentlichen ringförmige Dichtungen vorgesehen sind. Durch das Vorsehen von im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Dichtungen, welche in die Z-Profile einlegbar sind, wird einerseits ein unbeabsichtigtes Austreten bzw. ein Verlieren der Dichtungen mit Sicherheit hintangehalten und andererseits sichergestellt, dass die einzelnenElemente gegeneinander gut abdichten, so dass ein Lecken von Badewasser während des Badens oder Duschens mit Sicherheit hintangehalten ist.In order to ensure a secure sealing of the individual Z-shaped profiles of the wall or side parts against each other, the invention is essentially further developed in that are provided as sealing elements compressible the shape of the Z-profiles corresponding substantially annular seals. By providing substantially annular seals which can be inserted into the Z-profiles, unintentional leakage or loss of the seals is certainly withheld on the one hand, and on the other hand it is ensured that the individual elements are good against each other caulk so that leakage of bathing water during bathing or showering is certainly withheld.
Indem, wie dies einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung entspricht, die Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass zwei 2 bis 5, insbesondere 4 im Wesentlichen ringförmige Elemente vorgesehen sind, können von seichten bis sehr tiefen Badewannen sämtliche Formen zur Verfügung gestellt werden und der Benutzer kann beliebig die für ihnen optimale Höhe der Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse durch entsprechendes Auseinanderfahren bzw. Zusammenschieben der im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente zueinander wählen.By, as this corresponds to a development of the invention, the bathtub and / or shower tray is characterized in that two 2 to 5, in particular 4 are provided substantially annular elements, from shallow to very deep baths, all forms can be provided and the The user can arbitrarily choose the optimal height of the bathtub or shower tray for them by appropriately moving apart or pushing together the substantially annular elements to each other.
Um eine möglichst große Vielzahl von Variationsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Tiefe der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse zu besitzen, ist die Erfindung Im Wesentlichen dahingehend weitergebildet, dass sämtliche das Bodenteil umgebenden im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente gegenüber dem Bodenteil wenigstens in Richtung einer Höhenerstreckung der Badewanne verlagerbar sind. Mit einer derartigen Ausbildung kann das das Bodenteil umgebende Wand- bzw. Sitzelement gegenüber dem Bodenteil wenigstens in Richtung der Höhenerstreckung verlagerbar sein, jedoch auch, wenn es die baulichen Gegebenheiten ermöglichen, in den Boden versenkbar sein, so dass Insbesondere eine niedrige Einstiegshöhe zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann, und neben einer besonders Praktikabilität auch eine ästhetische und schön anzusehende Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann. Es erübrigt sich hierbei festzuhalten, dass immer ein Element, dass eine gesamte Höhe hinauf bzw. hinunter gefahren werden muss, um eine sichere Abdichtung zwischen zwei benachbarten ringförmigen Elementen gewährleisten zu können.In order to have the widest possible variety of possible variations, in particular with regard to the depth of the bathtub and / or shower tray, the invention is essentially further developed such that all the substantially annular elements surrounding the bottom part relative to the bottom part at least in the direction of a height extension of the bathtub are relocatable. With such a configuration, the wall or seat element surrounding the bottom part can be displaceable relative to the bottom part at least in the direction of the vertical extent, but also, if the structural conditions permit, be retractable into the ground, so that in particular a low entry height is provided can be provided, and in addition to a particularly practicality, an aesthetic and beautiful to be considered bathtub or shower tray can be provided. Needless to say, there is always an element that must be driven up or down an entire height to ensure a secure seal between two adjacent annular elements.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung und insbesondere um eine besonders niedrige Einstieghöhe in die Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse zur Verfügung zu stellen sowie den modemen Gegebenheiten zu entsprechen, welcher Duschtassen mit Abflüssen im Boden zur Verfügung gestellt werden, jedoch ohne Seitenwände, ist die Erfindung dahingehend weitergebildet, dass das Bodenteil von eine die Abfiussarmaturen umfassenden und insbesondere mit dem Bodenteil einstückig ausgebildeten Ablaufrinne umgeben ist und dass die ringförmigen Elemente in die Abflussrinne versenkbar angeordnet sind. Insbesondere wenn die ringförmigen Elemente in die Ablaufrinne versenkbar ausgebildet sind, gelingt es einem mit einem Boden des Badezimmers fluchtende Ausbildung der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse in dem zusammengefalteten bzw. versenkten Zustand zur Verfügung zu stellen, was nicht nur ein ästhetisches Aussehen gewährleistet, sondem insbesondere älteren oder behinderten Menschen einen extrem einfachen Zutritt zu der Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse gewährleistet. In der Folge kann, wenn in einer derartigen Wanne gebadet werden soll, das Wand- oder Sitzelement aus dem Boden ausgefahren werden und bis zur beliebigen Höhe angehoben werden. Hierbei kann beispielsweise nur der unterste bzw. innerste Ring der Im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente ausgefahren werden, in welchem Fall eine niedrige Tuschtasse zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann, oder sämtliche Elemente hochgefahren werden, um eine tiefe Badewanne zur Verfügung zu stellen.According to one embodiment of the invention and in particular to provide a particularly low entry level into the bathtub or shower tray and to meet the modem conditions, which shower trays are provided with drains in the ground, but without side walls, the invention is further developed to the bottom part is surrounded by a drainage channel which comprises the drainage fittings and in particular integrally formed with the bottom part, and in that the annular elements are arranged such that they can be lowered into the drainage channel. In particular, when the annular elements are formed in the gutter retractable, it is possible to align with a floor of the bathroom design of the bath and / or shower tray in the folded or retracted state available to provide, which not only ensures an aesthetic appearance, sondem particular older or disabled people ensures extremely easy access to the bathtub or shower tray. As a result, if you want to bath in such a tub, the wall or seat element can be extended from the ground and raised to any height. In this case, for example, only the lowermost or innermost ring of the substantially annular elements can be extended, in which case a low bushing cup can be made available, or all elements are raised to provide a deep bathtub.
Ein besonders ästhetisches Äußeres der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse wird dadurch erreicht, dass in einem in der Abflussrinne versenkten Zustand der ringförmigen Elemente, die Ablaufrinne durch jeweils obere Schenkel der Z-Profile im Wesentlichen vollständig abgedeckt ist. Mit einer derartigen Ausbildung erübrigt es sich, im Inneren der Badewanne oder Duschtasse Ablaufarmaturen vorzusehen, sondern das Absenken der ringförmigen Elemente in die Ablaufrinne gewährleistet, dass das Wasser über die Ablaufrinne zur Ablaufarmatur gelangt und unmittelbar wegfließt, ohne dass beispielsweise ein Stöpsel im Inneren des Bodenteils geöffnet werden muss. Die entsprechenden Ablaufarmaturen sind insbesondere im zusammengefalteten bzw. hinuntergefahrenen Zustand der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse In diesem Fall für einen Benutzer nicht sichtbar, was die Ästhetik des Elements deutlich erhöht. Das Wasser kann bei einer derartigen Konstruktion über die oberen Ränder der im Wesentlichen Z-förmigen Elemente in die Ablaufrinne ablaufen, was zu einer weiteren Vereinfachung der Konstruktion führt.A particularly aesthetic appearance of the bathtub and / or shower tray is achieved in that in a sunken in the gutter state of the annular elements, the gutter is substantially completely covered by each upper leg of the Z-profiles. With such a design, it is unnecessary to provide drain fittings inside the bathtub or shower tray, but ensures the lowering of the annular elements in the gutter that the water passes through the gutter to the drain fitting and immediately flows away without, for example, a plug inside the bottom part must be opened. The corresponding drain fittings are in particular in the folded or lowered state of the bathtub and / or shower tray In this case, not visible to a user, which significantly increases the aesthetics of the element. The water can drain in such a construction over the upper edges of the substantially Z-shaped elements in the gutter, resulting in a further simplification of the construction.
Eine besonders einfache Höhenverstellung der einzelnen Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente zueinander wird dadurch erzielt, dass der vorgesehene Hebe- und Absenkmechanismus wenigstens einen elektrisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch betätigbaren Hubzylinder oder eine Verstellspindel umfasst. Durch das Vorsehen von wenigstens einem elektrisch, pneumatisch oder hydraulisch betätigbaren Hubzylinder oder einer Verstellspindel bzw. auch einer Mehrzahl, insbesondere von zwei betätigbaren Hubzylindern oder Verstellspindeln wird sichergestellt, dass ohne jede physische Kraft die Badewanne auf die entsprechende gewünschte Höhe bzw. Tiefe eingestellt werden kann. Hierbei kann die Ausbildung so getroffen sein, dass der jeweilige Hebe- und/oder Absenkmechanismus an in dem obersten, im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Wand- oder Seitenelement vorgesehenen Halteösen oder Auflagerflächen angreift und durch das Angreifen in den entsprechenden Halteösen oder Auflagerflächen das gesamte Wand- bzw. Seitenelement anhebt bzw. absenkt und so die gewünschte Tiefe der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse zur Verfügung stellt.A particularly simple height adjustment of the individual wall or side elements to each other is achieved in that the proposed lifting and lowering mechanism comprises at least one electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically actuated lifting cylinder or an adjusting spindle. By providing at least one electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically actuated lifting cylinder or an adjusting spindle or a plurality, in particular of two actuatable lifting cylinders or adjusting spindles ensures that without any physical force, the bathtub can be adjusted to the appropriate desired height or depth , Here, the training may be such that the respective lifting and / or lowering mechanism engages in the uppermost, substantially annular wall or side element provided eyelets or bearing surfaces and by engaging in the corresponding eyelets or Support surfaces raises or lowers the entire wall or side element and thus provides the desired depth of the bathtub and / or shower tray.
Es erübrigt sich festzuhalten, dass selbstverständlich auch eine mechanische Notbetätigung vorgesehen sein muss, um im Falle eines Notfalls die Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse auf ihre minimale Höheerstreckung händisch absenken zu können, wenn beispielsweise aufgrund einer Fehlfunktion der elektrisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch betätigbaren Hubzylinder oder der Verstellspindeln e n gewünschtes Absenken der Badewanne nicht möglich erscheint.Needless to say, of course, a mechanical emergency operation must be provided in order to lower the bathtub and / or shower tray to its minimum height extension in case of emergency, if, for example, due to a malfunction of the electrically, hydraulically or pneumatically actuated lifting cylinder or the Adjusting spindles and the desired lowering of the bathtub does not seem possible.
Um Insbesondere den Komfort für den Benutzer der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse zu erhöhen und entweder eine Rücklehne während des Badens und/oder aber einen Antirutschteppich während des Duschens zur Verfügung stellen zu können, ist die Erfindung im Wesentlichen dadurch weitergebildet, dass das im Inneren der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse angeordnete Sitz- oder Polsterelement mit dem Hebe- und Absenkmechanismus gekoppelt ist. Indem das im Inneren der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse angeordnete Sitz- oder Polsterelement mit dem Hebe- und Absenkmechanismus gekoppelt ist, wird sichergestellt, dass in Abhängigkeit von der Wahl der Höhe der Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente der Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse das Polsterelement als Antirutschelement am Boden einer Duschtasse bzw. als Rückenpolsterung einer Badewanne eingesetzt wird, da es insbesondere durch sein lockeres Aufliegen und seines Fehlens einer Befestigung an den Wand- bzw. Seitenelementen der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse frei höhenverstellbar ist. In gleicher Weise ist es selbstverständlich möglich, zusätzliche Elemente vorzusehen, mit welchen eine Höhenverstellung von beispielsweise einer Rückenlehne, einem Badesitz, aber auch eines Brausekopfs und dgl. manuell erreicht werden kann.In particular, to increase the comfort of the user of the bath and / or shower tray and either a backrest during bathing and / or but to provide an anti-slip mat during showering, the invention is essentially further developed in that the inside of Bathtub and / or shower tray arranged seat or upholstered element is coupled to the lifting and lowering mechanism. By the arranged inside the bathtub and / or shower tray seat or upholstery element is coupled to the lifting and lowering mechanism, it is ensured that, depending on the choice of the height of the wall or side elements of the bathtub or shower tray, the cushion element as an anti-slip element is used on the floor of a shower tray or as a back upholstery of a bathtub, as it is freely adjustable in height in particular by its loose resting and its lack of attachment to the wall or side elements of the bath and / or shower tray. In the same way it is of course possible to provide additional elements with which a height adjustment of, for example, a backrest, a bath seat, but also a shower head and the like. Manually can be achieved.
Für eine einfache Zugänglichkeit ebenso wie ein ästhetisches Aussehen der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse ist die Erfindung dahingehend weitergebildet, dass der Hebe- und Absenkmechanismus in einem sich über eine Seite der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse erstreckenden, im Wesentlichen kastenförmigen, eine Zugangsöffnung aufweisenden Element angeordnet ist. Durch eine derartige Ausbildung sind sämtliche für die Höhenverstellung der Wand- bzw. Seitenelemente der Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse erforderlichen Elemente in einem gesonderten, eine Zugangsöffnung aufweisenden Elemente angeordnet und können für Wartungszwecke ebenso wie für gegebenenfalls manuelle Verstellung leicht erreicht werden. Gleichzeitig gelingt es mit einer derartigen Ausbildung, ein ästhetisches Aussehen der Badewanne und/oder der Duschtasse zu erreichen, welches Ele-ment neben seinem ästhetischen Aussehen beispielsweise als Ablagefläche für Badeutensilien, Handtücher oder dgl. herangezogen werden kann, wie dies einer Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung entspricht.For ease of accessibility as well as an aesthetic appearance of the bathtub and / or shower tray, the invention is further developed in that the lifting and lowering mechanism arranged in an extending over one side of the bathtub and / or shower tray, substantially box-shaped, having an access opening element is. Such a design all necessary for the height adjustment of the wall or side elements of the bathtub and / or shower tray elements are arranged in a separate, an access opening elements and can be easily achieved for maintenance purposes as well as for manual adjustment if necessary. At the same time it is possible with such a design to achieve an aesthetic appearance of the bathtub and / or the shower tray, which Ele-ment in addition to its aesthetic appearance, for example, as a storage space for bathing utensils, towels or the like. Can be used, as corresponds to a development of the present invention.
Wie dies einer Weiterbildung einer Badewanne und/oder Duschtasse gemäß der Erfindung entspricht, ist das Sitz- oder Polsterelment eine das Kopfende einer Badewanne ausbildende Seite der Badewanne überdeckend ausgebildet, wodurch eine gleichmäßige homogene Oberfläche geschaffen wird, welche angenehm zum Anlehnen Ist und überdies ein unbeabsichtigtes Hineinrutschen in die Badewanne mit Sicherheit hintanhält. Überdies wird mit einer derartigen Ausbildung sichergestellt, dass gegebenenfalls zwischen den einzelnen Wand- bzw. Seitenelementen verbleibende kleine Unebenheiten mit Sicherheit ausgeglichen werden, so dass für den Benutzer der Badewanne ein angenehmes Badegefühl gewährleistet wird. Es erübrigt sich festzuhalten, dass insbesondere bei einer Badewanne auch entsprechende Polsterelemente an zwei Enden der Badewanne angeordnet sein können oder auch gegebenenfalls an beiden Enden festgelegt werden können.As this corresponds to a further development of a bath tub and / or shower tray according to the invention, the seat or upholstery element is designed to cover the side of the bath forming the head end of a bath, whereby a uniform, homogeneous surface is created, which is pleasant to lean on and, moreover, unintentional Slip into the bathtub with safety hinanhält. Moreover, it is ensured with such a design that any remaining between the individual wall or side panels remaining small bumps are compensated with certainty, so that the user of the bath a pleasant bathing sensation is guaranteed. It is needless to say that, in particular in the case of a bathtub, corresponding upholstery elements can also be arranged at two ends of the bathtub or else can optionally be fixed at both ends.

Als Hebe- bzw. Absenkmechanismus kann hierbei jede Art von Hubzylindem zum Einsatz gelangen, wie beispielsweise hydraulisch, pneumatisch oder elektrisch betriebene Hubzylinder. Neben Hubzylindern ist jedoch auch der Einsatz von mechanischen Hubvorrichtungen, wie z.B. "aufrollbaren Hubstäben", "zusammenfalt- bzw. zusammenrollbaren Kunststoffstäben mit Memory-Effekt oder dgl. einsetzt bar. In diesem Zusammenhang ist festzuhalten, dass insbesondere das Gewicht, welches mit derartigen Hebe- und Absenkmechanismen 3 gehalten werden muss, relativ gering Ist, da beispielsweise bei Kunststoffbadewannen die im Wesentlichen ringförmigen Elemente 2 nur ein sehr geringes Gewicht aufweisen und somit die in senkrechter Richtung auf die Badewanne bzw. Duschtasse 1 wirkenden Kräfte relativ gering sind.As lifting or lowering mechanism here any type of Hubzylindem can be used, such as hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically operated lifting cylinder. In addition to lifting cylinders, however, the use of mechanical lifting devices, such as "roll-up lifting rods", "collapsible or rollable plastic rods with memory effect or the like is bar." In this context, it should be noted that in particular the weight associated with such lifting - And lowering
