    Bath and / or shower device
    The invention relates to a bath and / or shower device, comprising a tub with a lowered and by a door watertight closable entry area
    Bathing and / or shower facilities with a lower, ground-level or almost ground-level edge shower tray do not allow to sit in the shower tray to take a full bath. In contrast, allows a conventional bathtub, possibly with a splash guard in the form of a shower curtain or glass shower screen, while showering and bathing, whereas a ground-level or almost ground-level entrance as in a shower tray is not possible because of the high edge of the bathtub climbs which is an almost insurmountable obstacle, especially for disabled and elderly people. Therefore, often with considerable space requirements and increased costs, both a shower and a bathtub installed.
    As a further development of combined bathing and / or showering systems systems such as disclosed in DE 299 14 087 U1 were then developed, which have a trough-like base, which corresponds approximately to the edge height of a bathtub in its edge height and has an approximately ground-level access area, the by means of a against a arranged on the base in the entry area elastomeric seal door sealing waterproof to the environment is closed. The door with locking means can be sufficiently strong drawn from the outside against an elastomeric seal that in the closed state no water can escape from the substructure. By the US 6,226,808 a bathtub-shower combination with an entry area is also known, which is closed by a water-tight door. In US 5351345 A is disclosed a bathtub with a vertically movable louvre door.
    Such tubs or substructures for bathing and / or shower facilities are relatively complicated shaped components with very complex manufacturing, especially taking into account the necessary for the tightness stability and absorption of all forces.
    The object of the present invention was therefore a device which permits a simple and material-saving production with sufficient stability.
    To achieve this object, a device described above is inventively characterized in that one of the side walls of the tub is provided with a substantially over the entire length and depth of the side wall extending recess that the door covers substantially half of this recess and the other Half of the recess watertight by another, separate component
    AT-3387 AT is closed. An over a substantially entire side open component is easier to make than tub with entry and exit areas lesser dimensions, but is kept low by the fixed component of the effort and space required for the other part of the open side door covering. Thus, high comfort for the user and high flexibility in use - either as a shower or possibly as a bathtub - can be reconciled with a relatively simple and economical production.
    According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the device is characterized in that in the central region of the recess, between the region of the door and that of the separate component, a bulge having a height substantially to the height of the remaining walls of the tub and / or a center column is provided, wherein preferably at least one water guide is integrated in the center column. Thus, the stability is increased in the area of the open side and can be further increased if necessary by additional installations in the region of the bulge or an optionally separately mounted center column, which separates the area of the door and the area of the permanently mounted separate component. The center column may additionally comprise at least one water guide, for example for supplying a well inlet integrated in the center column, an overflow or even a shower head, which will preferably be the case with a center pillar extending beyond the tub edge height.
    This can be done, for example, by providing a stiffening structure for at least the region of the vertical sections of the recess, preferably also the region of the bulge or of the center column, possibly with a connection to a floor construction. Such a stiffening structure can be absorbed by the water and also by the use of the tub - as when the user is supported on the tub - and possibly avoided by a connection of the stiffening structure with the bottom or wall leakage causing deformation of the tub.
    A simple, low footprint and weight construction is given by an embodiment in which a fork-shaped stiffening structure surrounds the area of the recess on all sides, wherein two side parts of this structure extend at the edges of the recess up to the tub rim and a central part in the bulge or center column at least protrudes, preferably also extends to at least the height of the tub rim, at best, the bulge is provided with an opening for the implementation of this central part. For a comfortable entry into the bath and / or shower device and when used as a bathtub at the same time secure sealing, it is particularly advantageous if
    AT-3387 AT the door as a hinged door, which abuts the inside of the tub and is to be opened inwardly, or designed as preferably in the direction of the separate component to open sliding door, which extends at least to the height of the tub rim. In both cases, the water pressure supports the sealing effect when the door is closed, so that expensive means for pressing or pulling the door can be avoided.
    A further increase in comfort is provided by an embodiment in which the separate component is designed as a shower enclosure extending in height beyond the edge of the bath, possibly even horizontally up to the area of the adjoining end wall.
    With a production of the door and / or the separate component made of a clear, transparent material, a further increase in comfort can be achieved.
    According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the device is characterized in that at least one end or side wall of the trough, preferably at least the side wall opposite the recess, a substantially horizontal, wide tub rim is provided without subsequent vertical panel. Such a shaping creates a hidden volume in the area between the wall or the walls and the adjacent component, which conceals the placement of pipes over plaster and therefore without processing the surrounding masonry, but still in front of the eyes of the user, and also Assembly or implementation of fittings allowed. Furthermore, such a design allows sufficient space in the upper body area for comfortable showering without too much restriction of freedom of movement with a small volume of water necessary for full baths. In addition, a wide tub edge provides good seating for the user and space for storing storage space for bathing utensils.
    If, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the trough is designed as a molded or deep-drawn part, preferably of plastic material, this allows a simple and material-saving production. Thus, two such molded parts can be manufactured together with little material waste, preferably in the deep drawing process.
    In order to ensure a good tightness, the trough has in the region of the door and / or the separate component formations for their watertight connection, preferably using an internal peripheral seal.
    A non-limiting embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawings and will be explained in more detail below.
    1 shows a conventional combined shower and / or bathing device with a lower entry area, FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a bath for a combined shower and / or bathing device according to the invention in per 4
    AT-3387 AT in perspective view, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a shower and / or bath apparatus according to the invention, Fig. 4 shows a stiffening structure for the trough of the device according to the invention, Fig. 5 is a bottom perspective view of a trough 6a and 6b show an embodiment of a shower and / or bathing device according to the invention with sliding door, and FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment according to the invention for a bath for a combined shower and / or bathing device according to the invention.
    A bathing and showering device 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a trough 2 with a lowered, arranged approximately at ground level access area 3, which can be watertight closed by an optionally over the edge 5 of the tub 2 in the height projecting door 4. It has a bathing area, possibly with an integrated seat surface, and a shower area and can be produced in any desired manner, for example as a coated, for example enamelled deep-drawn part of a metallic material or as a molded or deep-drawn acrylic tub, or as a GRP, CFK or another fiber-reinforced plastic by hand lay-up or spraying method. The door 4 will advantageously be made of a clear, transparent material, such as mineral or plexiglass or acrylic glass, with an inwardly opening door 4 for small bathrooms is advantageous. Door 4 is filled with tub 2 under the water pressure, which contributes to the tightness.
    In order to allow a simpler and more material-saving production of a combined bathing and / or You sch device despite sufficient stability, the shape shown in Fig. 2 has been developed. In this case, one of the side walls 2a of the trough 2 is provided with a recess 2b extending substantially over the entire length and depth of the side wall 2a. Such a, over a substantially entire side open component 2 is easier and more economical to make than a tub with entry and exit areas of lesser dimensions in an otherwise closed side wall. Thus, two such molded parts can be manufactured together with little material waste, preferably in the deep drawing process.
    In the case of the ready-to-use shower and / or bathing device, as shown in a possible embodiment in FIG. 3, a door 4 is provided which covers substantially half of this recess 2b, while the other half of the recess 2b is provided by a further, separate component 6, which is preferably made of a different material than the tub 2, preferably as the door 4 is made of a clear, transparent material, is sealed watertight. Nevertheless, according to the invention, the expenditure and pivoting range for the embodiment shown in this illustrated embodiment can be realized as a hinged door.
    AT-3387 AT th door 4 are kept low, since this must continue to cover only part of the side wall of the tub 2. Due to the permanently mounted component 6, the effort and space required for the complete sealing and sealing can be kept low, but for the user high comfort - through the almost ground level possible entry, especially when used as a shower - and the high flexibility in use - Is given either as a shower or possibly with the door closed 4 as a bathtub -.
    The fix-mounted component 6 may - as shown in Fig. 3 - extend to form a shower enclosure on the fleas of the tub rim 5 addition to advantageously up to the ceiling of the bathroom. An extension along the entire, not covered by the door 4 length of the tub 2 in the horizontal direction and optionally also a preferably complete coverage of the adjoining end wall is possible.
    As can further be seen in FIG. 2, a bulge 7 is provided in the middle region of the recess 2b, in the region of the transition between the door 4 and that of the separate component 6. This bulge 7 may extend to a height of substantially height of the remaining walls of the tub 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the bulge 7 but extends only slightly above the level of the lower edge of the entry into the tub 2 and the lower edge of the recess 2b and is extended upwards by a center column 8. This center column 8 can - as in the case of Fig. 2 - at the level of the edge 5 of the tub 2, i. at a height of substantially the height of the remaining walls of the trough 2, or else be extended beyond, as exemplified in Fig. 3. By this bulge 7 and any center column 8 increases the stability in the region of the open side 2b, which can be further increased by additional installations in the area of the bulge 7. Advantageously, the center column 8 or a bulge 7 with extension up to the tub rim 5 separates the area of the door 4 and the area of the permanently mounted separate component 6.
    A center pillar 8 extending beyond the tub rim 5 may be provided with transverse structures 8a which extend above the tub 2 towards the interior thereof and may carry, for example, at least one shower head 9, which may preferably be connected to the water supply through the center pillar 8. Even at a lower center column 8, at least one water guide can be integrated therein, for example, a well overflow also provided in the center column and thus in the vicinity of the user standing outside the tub 2, a tub overflow or a combination of these two valves.
    For stiffening and stabilizing the component 2 in the lower and middle regions of the recess 2b, a stiffening structure 10 (see FIG. 4) can be used for at least the region of the vertical sections of the recess, i. the area from the bottom edge up to the height of the edge 5 of the side walls of the tub 2 may be provided. A simple construction which has good stiffening properties despite the low space requirement and weight can be achieved, for example, by means of a fork-shaped stiffening structure 10, whose two side parts 10a extend up to the edge of the rim 5 at the edges of the recess 2b. Preferably, a stiffening is also provided for the area of the bulge 7 or a further up to at least the level of the edge 5 of the tub rising center column 8, for which a middle part 10b at least extend into the bulge 7 or center column 8 and preferably also can extend to at least the height of the tub rim 5. If necessary, the bulge 7 has to be provided with an opening for the passage of this middle part 10b of the stiffening structure 10, wherein this middle part 10b can also be used as an assembly option for a center column 8.
    The stiffening structure 10 of FIG. 4 can-as can be seen in FIG. 5-advantageously be connected to a floor construction 10c and can extend underneath the tub 2 to its opposite side and support it there. By way of such an expanded stiffening structure 10 of FIG. 5, the loads and forces caused by the water and also the user of the tub 2 can be absorbed and supported so that a deformation of the tub 2 and resulting leaks in the area of the door 4, the component 6 or the transition from bulge 7 to mounted center column 8 can be avoided.
    As an alternative to the above-mentioned embodiment of the door 4 as a hinged door, a comfortable entry into the bath and / or shower device according to the invention and, when used as a bathtub, at the same time ensures a secure seal when the door 4 is designed as a sliding door (see FIGS. 6a and 6b) 6b) abuts against the inside of the wall of the tub 2 and the bulge 7 and optionally the center column 8 and is to be opened inwards. In any case, the water pressure in this design supports the sealing effect with the door closed. The center column 8 may additionally have longitudinal structures 8b for this embodiment in particular, which may carry, for example, guides for the door 4 designed as a sliding door. Of course, the longitudinal structures 8b may also be provided at a center column 8 reaching only the height of the tub rim 5, in which case a possible sliding door 4 would also extend only to an edge height.
    Compared to conventional troughs, an advantageous embodiment according to the present invention, which is shown in Fig. 7, further for at least one end wall or at least the recess 2b opposite side wall in a way
    AT-3387 AT horizontal and opposite the conventional dimensions widened tub rim 5a, with any subsequent and substantially vertical panel is avoided. Upon installation of such a tub 2 immediately adjacent to at least one wall of the bathroom, a volume defined by the component 2 and the widened tub rim 5a is created in the area between the at least one wall and the adjacent component 2, in which ducts or the like above plaster and nevertheless invisible to the user. The installation of fittings is possible in this hidden volume, in which from the tub rim 5 also recesses, Aussackungen or similar cavities can protrude, in which, for example, bathing utensils can be accommodated. Another advantage of such a design is a generous space in the upper body area for comfortable showering with a large range of motion, but a small volume of water to be filled with the volume for use as a bathtub. The wide tub rim 5a also provides a good and safe seating for the user.
    In order to ensure a good tightness, the tub 2 advantageously in the region of the door 4 and / or the separate component 6 formations to the waterproof connection, preferably using an inner peripheral seal 11, also shown in Fig. 7, of course but is also provided in all other embodiments of the invention.
