Description

Shower Enclosure Frame Fixing Means and Method of Use Thereof
This invention relates to a shower enclosure frame fixing means and to a method of use thereof. A common arrangement for providing a shower in a bathroom location is the provision of a shower enclosure comprising a shower tray surrounded by one or more panel members. The panel members can be fixed or movably mounted with respect to a wall or the shower tray as required. Shower enclosures are generally sold and transported in a flat packed or kit arrangement for construction by a plumber or bathroom fitter on site at a customer’s bathroom. The assembly and fitting of the shower enclosure can be complex and time consuming. GB2497801 discloses a means for fitting the frame of a shower enclosure together. The shower enclosure is of a type having at least one panel supported along at least two adjacent edges by respective frame members. A frame connector is provided comprising a unitary body having a first limb to which each of the two frame members is connectable, and a second limb for closing the end of one of the two frame members. The body has apertures for receiving retaining screws therein in use to allow the frame connector to be secured to the frame members. GB2486627 discloses a further frame connection arrangement for a shower enclosure. The frame comprises first and second elongate frame members which are interconnected such that the second frame member extends outwardly from a longitudinal side of the first frame member. A joining member is slidably received in a channel which extends longitudinally of the first frame member along the side thereof. The joining member is fastened to a proximal end of the second frame member by retaining screws that pass through a plurality of apertures in the joining member.
Problems associated with both of the abovementioned frame connection arrangements is that they require retaining screws to secure the connection of the frame members together. The fitting of retaining screws can be fiddly and time consuming. The location of the retaining screws within apertures in the frame members can be difficult, particularly if a plurality of apertures on adjacent frame members have to be aligned and/or the locations or dimensions of the apertures have not been engineered with sufficient precision to allow easy alignment. Shower enclosures are often fitted in confined spaces where access to all sides of the frame during the fitting process can be restricted. The prior art arrangements typically require a fitter to be fitting the retaining screws from an end or side of the upright frame member, which is often difficult to access.
It is therefore an aim of the present invention to provide shower enclosure frame fixing means which overcomes the abovementioned problems.
It is a further aim of the present invention to provide a method of using shower enclosure frame fixing means which overcomes the abovementioned problems.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a shower enclosure frame assembly as set out in accompanying claim 1. Preferred features are set out in the sub-claims.
Thus, there is provided a first shower frame member and a second shower frame member and frame fixing, means in the form of a cam dowel having a body portion and a head section.
Thus, the present invention uses a cam dowel and a locking nut for securing two frame components of a shower enclosure or shower panel frame together. This mechanism removes the requirement for retaining screws to be used, thereby requiring less skill and time for the fitter to fit the same, reduces the engineering precision required in the frame components to fit the same accurately together, and allows the fitter to actuate the fixing components from a front or rear of the shower enclosure or shower panel, where space is less restricted for the fitter, compared to that of the prior art arrangements where the fitter needs to have access from an end or side of the upright frame member.
The cam dowel has an engagement head located at the first end thereof and may comprise a threaded section located at or adjacent the second or opposite end thereof so as to attach to the first shower frame member.
The engagement head is arranged to be received within the second shower frame member and the threaded section is arranged to engage with a complementary threaded section of the first shower frame member.
Preferably, an intermediate section of the engagement member between the first end or engagement head and the second end or threaded section has a greater diameter or cross sectional dimensions compared to the first and/or second ends. The narrower dimensions of the engagement head relative to the intermediate section typically allows the engagement head to be engaged with the cam locking nut.
Preferably, the cam dowel is made of metal, plastic and/or the like.
Preferably, the locking nut includes a locking means or member which has one or more cam surfaces defined therein or thereon. The one or more cam surfaces are arranged such that rotation of the cam locking means causes linear, and substantially linear, movement of the engagement member relative thereto in use. For example, with an engagement head of the cam dowel located with or in the cam locking nut, rotation of the cam locking nut in a first direction moves the engagement member in a linear path further towards the cam dowel. Rotation of the cam locking nut in a second or opposite direction moves the cam dowel in a linear path away from the cam locking nut.
Preferably, a longitudinal axis of movement of the cam dowel is transverse, perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cam locking nut.
Preferably, the cam locking nut is rotatable about a substantially central axis. The axis of rotation is preferably provided in a direction between the front and rear surfaces of the cam locking nut.
In one embodiment the cam locking nut has a channel defined therein. The channel has an opening of such dimensions for the location of the first end or engagement head of the cam dowel.
Preferably, at least one wall of the channel has a cam surface formed therein or associated with the same. Rotation of the cam locking nut typically moves the engagement head of the cam dowel along the cam surface of the channel, thereby pulling the engagement means, and whatever is engaged to the engagement means, along a substantially linear path of movement towards it.
Preferably, the at least one wall of the channel defining the cam surface is angled and further preferably the at least one wall is arranged so that the width of the channel narrows or that the channel has a narrowing taper. Preferably, the channel has a narrowing taper from the opening of the channel to an opposite end of the channel.
Preferably, one end or part of the channel has an abutment surface with which the first end or engagement head of the cam dowel abuts against once the first end or engagement head enters the opening of the channel. The abutment surface allows the engagement head to be in a required or correct position for moving along the cam surface of the channel on rotation of the cam locking nut.
Gripping means can be provided on or associated with at least part of the channel of the cam locking nut so as to prevent the first end or the engagement head from slipping when moving within the channel, on the channel surface or cam surface. The gripping means can include one or more dimples, ribs, teeth and/or the like.
Preferably, the cam locking nut is cylindrical or substantially cylindrical in form. Preferably, the channel is defined in a circumferential edge of the cam locking nut. Thus, in one example, the channel is defined around at least part of a side wall of the cam locking nut.
Preferably, the channel opening is defined at one end of the channel to allow an engagement head of the cam dowel to be located therein.
In one embodiment, the frame fixing means includes one or more further engagement means for engaging the second frame member.
Preferably, the one or more further engagement means includes one or more protrusion members, further dowel members, cam dowel members and/or the like.
In one embodiment, the one or more further engagement means can be integrally formed with the body portion of the first shower frame member. In an alternative embodiment, the one or more further engagement means are attached or detachably attached to the body portion of the first frame member.
The second shower frame member has a hollow section, or recess, at an end thereof. The body portion of the cam dowel is inserted into and engageable in said hollow or hollow section in use.
Thus, with the frame fixing means located in said second shower frame member hollow section, and the cam dowel is engaged with the first shower frame member, the second shower frame member protrudes outwardly from a longitudinal side wall of the first shower frame member to form an L-shaped frame section.
Preferably, the second shower frame member and the first shower frame member are arranged to be substantially perpendicular to each other when in an engaged position with the frame fixing means.
The surface of the second shower frame member has an aperture defined therein. The position of the aperture is such that when the cam dowel is inserted through the open end of the second shower frame member for engagement therein, the head section of the cam dowel can be moved into alignment with the aperture of the second shower frame member.
In one embodiment, the longitudinal side wall of the first shower frame member has at least one aperture, and preferably at least two spaced apart apertures, for receiving the cam dowel and/or further engagement means therein.
Preferably, the two or more apertures are arranged a spaced distance apart along the longitudinal axis of the first shower frame member.
In one embodiment, the second shower frame member has a channel or rail defined on an outer surface thereof for the location of a movement mechanism or movement means associated with one or more shoAver enclosure panel members in use. For example, a shower panel may be movable between open and closed positioned on the channel or rail using one or more wheels, rollers, ball bearings and/or the like.
Preferably, the channel or rail is defined in on a rear outer surface of the second shower frame member.
In one example, the channel is defined by two rail member protruding outwardly from the rear outer surface of the second shower frame member which are a spaced distance apart. Preferably the two rail members are parallel or substantially parallel to each other.
In one example, a shower enclosure panel member is locatable on at least an upper rail member. A movement mechanism associated with the shower enclosure panel member can be movably mounted with or between the upper and/or lower rail members.
The cam dowel, first shower frame member and/or second shower frame member can be formed from any or any combination of plastic, metal and/or the like.
One or more panel members can be attached to, integral with or detachably attached to the first and/or second shower frame members in use. Preferably, a panel member can be attached to or detachably attached to the first and second shower frame members. The panel member is typically engaged to the first and second shower frame members along one or more peripheral edges thereof, and, preferably, edges that are perpendicular to each other and/or to the panel member.
Preferably, the side wall of the first frame member that is brought into engagement with an end wall of the second frame member, and the end wall of the second frame member, are flat, substantially flat, linear, complementary or substantially complementary in shape so as to provide a neat joint.
The present invention extends to a method of assembling the shower enclosure frame assembly for fixing a first shower frame member to at least a second shower frame member, wherein the method includes engaging the second shower frame over the fixing means such that the protrusion thereof is received within the end recess of the second shower frame member and rotating the locking nut within the side recess of the second shower frame member such that the first and second shower frame members are brought into alignment and locked in place.
The present invention further extends to a kit for creating a shower assembly as described herein, the kit comprising: a first shower frame member; a second shower frame member; a frame fixing means in the form of a cam dowel having a body portion and a protrusion; and a locking nut.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein:
Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of shower enclosure frame assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention; and
Figures 2a and 2b show a front view and a rear view of the shower enclosure assembly in figure 1 when fitted respectively.
Referring to the figures, there is illustrated a shower enclosure frame assembly 2 for fixing a first side or upright frame member 4 to a second base or horizontal frame member 6 in use. It will be appreciated that the frame fixing assembly of the present invention could be used to fit together two frame members associated with any type or configuration of shower panel.
The fixing assembly 2 comprises frame fixing means 8 having of a body portion 10. The body portion 10 has a front surface 12, a rear surface 14, a top wall 16, a base wall 18 and end walls 20, 22.
The frame fixing means 8 can be integrally formed with the second base frame member 6 or it can be a separate component, as shown in figure 1. The cross-sectional dimensions of the frame fixing means 8 are such that it can be inserted through an open end of the second base frame member 6 and forms a tight frictional fit therewith.
An aperture 26 is defined in rear surface 14 of frame fixing means 8. An elongate channel 24 is defined through frame fixing means 8. A longitudinal axis of the channel 24 is typically parallel, or substantially parallel, to the base wall 18 of the fixing means and to the longitudinal axis of the base frame member 6 when fitted. The elongate channel has a first open end in end wall 22 and a second open end in aperture 26.
An engagement member in the form of a cam dowel 28 is provided for engaging the frame fixing means 8 to the first upright frame member 4. The cam dowel 28 has an engagement head 30 provided at a first end 32 thereof, and a threaded section 34 provided at a second end 36 thereof. An intermediate section 38 has larger cross-sectional dimensions that first end 32 and second end 36.
Cam locking means 40, in the form of a cam locking nut, is provided for engagement with the cam dowel. The cam locking means 40 has a cylindrical body portion with a front surface 42, a rear surface 44 and side walls 46. A channel is defined in the side wall 46 around the circumference of the cylindrical body portion and provides a cam surface over which the engagement head 30 of the cam dowel can travel on rotation of the cam locking means 40. An aperture is defined at one end of the channel to allow the engagement head 30 to be located in the channel.
Front surface 42 of the cam locking means 40 has tool engagement means in the form of a cross shaped recess 48 defined therein for the location of a tool, such as a screw driver head, in use. Location of a tool in the cross shaped recess 48 allows the cam locking means 40 to be rotated. A further engagement member in the form of a dowel 50 is located in end wall 22 and protrudes outwardly thereof.
Side frame member 4 is typically an elongate member (only part of which is shown in the illustrations for clarity). It has a front surface 52, a rear surface 54 and side walls 56, 58. The side walls are provided parallel to the longitudinal axis of the frame member. It is typically a hollow member and has open ends 60, 62. Two spaced apart apertures 64, 66 are defined in side wall 58, that faces the base member and frame fixing means 8 in use, adjacent end 60. In particular, the apertures 64, 66 are spaced apart along the longitudinal axis of the side frame member 4. Opposite side wall 56 is typically fitted to a wall adjacent which the shower enclosure is to be fitted.
The side wall 58 of the first frame member 4 and the end wall 22 of the frame fixing means 8 are flat so as to allow a close fitting joint to be formed between the parts when they are brought together in engagement.
Base frame member 6 is typically an elongate member (only part of which is shown in the illustrations for clarity). It has a front surface 68, a rear surface 70, a top surface 72, base surface 74 and ends 76, 78. It is typically a hollow member and ends 76, 78 are typically openings to said hollow interior. The base surface 74 of base frame member 6 is typically located on a top surface of the shower tray in use. The base surface 74 is typically flat or linear in form. A channel 80 is defined on rear surface 70 for the location of wheels or sliding mechanism of a slidable panel member of the shower enclosure. An aperture 82 is defined in rear surface 70 of the base frame member 6.
On assembly, fixing frame means 8 is inserted through open end 78 of base frame member 6, such that aperture 82 on base frame member 6 is substantially aligned with aperture 26 on fixing frame means 8. The fixing frame means 8 remains in place within the base frame member 6 via friction fit due to the complementary exterior shape of the fixing frame means 8 with the interior shape of the hollow base frame member 6.
The rear surface 44 of cam lock 40 in inserted through the aligned apertures 82, 26 such that the cam lock sits within the walls defining the apertures. Front surface 42 of the cam lock 40 faces outwardly from rear surface 70 of the base frame member 6. The cam lock is rotated such that the channel aperture of the cam lock faces the aperture 24 in the fixing frame means channel.
The threaded section 34 of cam dowel 28 is rotatably inserted through the lower aperture 64 of side frame member 4. The engaged frame fixing means 8 and base frame member 6 are moved towards the side wall 58 of the side frame member 4 such that the engagement head 30 of the cam dowel 28 is located through the aperture in the side wall 22 of the fixing frame means 8. The engagement head 30 passes through the channel aperture of the cam lock and sits in the cam channel. At the same time, the engagement member 50 provided on side wall 22 of the fixing frame means 8 locates in the upper aperture 66 in the side frame member 4. The intermediate section 38 of the cam dowel secures the engagement of the cam dowel in the frame fixing means 8. A tool is placed in the cross shaped recess 48 of the cam lock and is used to rotate the cam lock. Rotation of the cam lock moves the engagement head 30 along the cam surface of the cam lock, thereby drawing side frame member 4 towards base frame member 6 and securing engagement of the engagement members 28, 50 with the side frame member 4.
The size of the apertures 26, 82 of the frame fixing means 8 and the base frame member 6 are significantly larger than the size of the apertures required for retaining screw fixings, thereby reducing the requirement for engineering precision of the apertures to allow alignment of the same in use. In any case, in one example, the frame fixing means 8 could be integrally formed with the base frame member 6 and so alignment of the parts would not be required.
The fitter only has to gain access to the rear surface 70 of the base frame member 6 in order to actuate the cam lock. Accessibility to the rear surface 70 is greater and less fiddly compared to accessing the lower side wall 58 of the side frame member 4, thereby making the fitting procedure significantly easier than with prior art methods.
