Description

The invention relates to a shower partition with at least one fixed side part and at least one sliding wing, the one on the side part by means of point fittings fastened track can be moved, the wing is also attached via point fittings and the side part as the wings are equally high. Here are the glass panes adjustable with each other via recessed flush in the glass panes Holding elements connected non-positively and positively. The adjustability of the Glass panes is in the holding piece a through hole, which are arranged eccentrically to the center of the holding element and is penetrated by a connecting screw.

EP 0 841 032 A2 discloses a device for holding and Fastening glass panes to shower cubicles or doors Use finds. It is used to adjust the plates or Panes of glass to the angle or hinge used rotatable adjustment element proposed. The adjustment element has doing an eccentric part with respect to the axis of the Fastening element, which makes it possible by twisting between the Glass pane and the wall to make an adjustment. Doing so used a holding part which has a bore and a Has formed an annular shoulder against which a clamping screw rests. A turntable sits in a cylindrical arrangement and points side stops in the form of projections. Here are the Stops on the outside in the area of the projections with a Provide threads for the application of a cap. To one To achieve rotatability, there is a slot in the turntable, to due to the eccentricity of the connecting screw to be inserted is secured by a sliding block, which is secured against twisting the longitudinal direction is displaceable, and by rotating the turntable the holding part with the glass pane moved. This does not appear executable because turning the turntable without using a Tool is not possible and because the turntable Has external thread.

Various types of shower enclosures are also known that are based on a wide variety of tasks. The shower enclosures essentially consist of at least a fixed side panel and a sliding wing. Depending on there are different forms of geometric arrangement Shower trays or shower trays, to which the outer area of the Shower partition is adjusted. However, this requires an enormous amount high storage costs in order to have the appropriate for all designs To have individual parts in stock. For this reason it is the job of present invention, a shower partition in this regard simplify that many parts, albeit for very different Executions that can be carried out immediately. Furthermore, a easy adjustability of the fittings can be achieved to a To be able to carry out tolerance compensation with a simultaneous inconspicuous appearance of the fitting parts, in particular also regarding a good cleaning ability of the glass panes their interior of the shower enclosure.

The invention is solved by the teaching according to claim 1, the subclaims a further embodiment of the reproduce the inventive idea.

It is suggested both the fixed side part and the sliding wing or pivotable wing with a equip point fitting. The fitting on the Glass lie on or be sunk in the glass, its outer shape is round. The external appearance of the fitting is determined by a crowned cap, made of different materials can be embossed if the fitting does not match the top edge of the glass completes.

With fittings of this type, you can also use the glasses for the fixed ones Side parts or for the sliding wing both as flat elements as well as curved elements. Always for this Fixing only one fitting necessary.

In a second embodiment it is proposed for better No cleaning of shower cubicles in their inner area protruding fittings or caps to use, but rather a sinking of these otherwise usually lying Fitting parts inside the glass panes both on the side parts and also to be carried out on the sliding doors or revolving doors. For this are in the glass panes next to the usual holes for fastening in addition, counterbores are introduced in the bores, which both can also have a conical shape in the form of a Gradation can be realized. By the fact that none Project fittings and the inside of the holes with their Countersunk fittings are flush with the surface of the Locking glass panes is easy to clean feasible.

In order to achieve adjustability of the side parts and the sash, are mechanisms present in the recessed fittings that it enable a continuous, continuous attitude towards the given dimensional deviations due to manufacturing and construction tolerances enable.

Holding elements are thus in the holes in the glass panes used that have a hole in relation to their center, which is arranged eccentrically to the center. The bore points preferably a countersink to a connecting screw or a To be able to accommodate the connecting element. Following the cut there is a through hole without thread for the connecting screw available. The outer area can be covered by a cover that is flat be completed.

In order to attach a glass pane to a fitting, first the holding element inside the hole in the glass pane inserted and then through the eccentric bore inside of the holding element, the connecting screw. The The connecting screw can be on the other side of the glass pane with a fitting, a roll holder or a suspension in Form a running rail can be connected. To adjust the Glass pane opposite a fixed wall or another Glass pane in the form of a fixed side part can be attached to the Surface of the holding element available adjustment options Example in the form of two spaced holes or one recessed hexagon socket a rotation of the holding element to be effected around its center. Because the Connecting screw is not centric, is therefore a stepless one Adjustment and thus adjustment of the glass pane possible. It understands themselves that this can also be done with larger fittings can where, for example, within a hinge flap or a Running rail two or more connecting screws are attached.

This type of attachment is an inexpensive option created because only a small number of components for Attachment of a glass pane is required. This shows up especially in the design of the holding element. A holding element The aforementioned type can therefore be used for any type of hardware be used.

In the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 11 and 12, two of the diverse design options for a shower partition with the Fitting according to the invention shown. FIG. 11 shows one Shower partition, which consists of a fixed side part 1 and a by means of a handle 30 parallel to the fixed side part 1 sliding wing 2 there. On the fixed side part 1 is on the one hand, a running rail 14 by means of fittings 7 with a positive and positive fit attached, on the other hand, the running rail 14 via a wall bracket 29 held on a wall 27. For the cantilevered part of the Track 14 are opposite the fixed side part Fittings 3, which are non-positively and positively connected to the wing 2 are available. The fixed side part 1 is also in lateral area attached to the wall 27 by wall bracket 28.

In contrast to the version of a shown in the front view straight shower (Figure 11) is a top view of a shower partition of Figure 12, which is formed within a corner from two walls 27 is reproduced. Here are fixed side parts 31 and 32 as straight plane elements have been executed and by means of fittings 7 the track 14 attached. In contrast to, the running rail 14 has the running rail 14 shown in FIG. 11 has a curved one Course. The slidable course also has a curved course Wing 43 and 44, which by means of the fittings 3 on the track 14th are slidably mounted on rollers. The illustration shows the Shower partition in the closed state, so that a Shower interior 33 is completed so that no gush and Splash water can come out of it.

The exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 11 and 12 shown in FIGS Shower enclosures can be made in a variety of ways, like the figures Play 1 to 4, be executed.

1 shows a shower partition with a fixed one Side part 1 reproduced, only the upper part is shown here. The side part 1 has in the upper area for fastening the running rail 14 a bore into which a lower fitting part 10 with a shoulder 12 of an overlying fitting is used. Through approach 12 can at the same time centering the fitting 7 to the side part 1 can be achieved. Via a fastening screw 5, which The lower fitting part 10 passes through, the running rail 14 with the fixed side part 1 and the bottom fitting 10 force and positively connected. The lower fitting part 10 is replaced by a Cap 4 crowned so that the fitting 7 only as a point fitting appears.

The running rail 14 has a running groove 15 on its upper side a guide groove 13 on its underside.

In the groove 15, a support roller 8 engages, which is a roller holder 16, which carries an approach 17 and by means of the same Lower fitting part 10 with the approach 12 in a bore 11 of the wing 2 engages and via a fastening screw 6 non-positively and positively is connected to the wing. Safe storage of the Support roller 8 given. This fitting 3 is also for the shower interior 33 crowned with a cap 4.

In the exemplary embodiment, the wing 2 is secured against unintentional prying out has been made such that in the Guide groove 13 of the rail 14 engages a support roller 9. The Support roller 9 is in an analogous manner as the support roller 8 over the same Components, namely roll holder 16 and fitting base 10 and Fixing screw 6 with the wing 2 non-positively and positively connected.

The embodiment of Figure 3 shows a shower partition in which the manufacturing costs can be further reduced, namely in the Form that the support roller 9 by a slider in the form of a Guide pin 19 is replaced. The guide pin 19 is on one Carrying lever 18 attached, which is simultaneously in the roll holder with a Approach 20 for the idler 8 passes.

Since the shower partition in all embodiments in addition to the Track 14 contains no other profiles, is an inexpensive To produce shower so that the side part 1, 31, 32 and the wings 2, 43, 44 all have the same height dimensions.

So that a trouble-free operation of the shower partition, in particular the wing 2, 43, 44 is ensured, it is possible to move the wing by so-called wing stopper 21 in its displacement area limit. The wing stopper 21 is designed as a flat component, which, on the one hand, has a projection 22 which fits into the running groove 15 the guide rail 14 engages and on the other hand a projection 23 has, which engages in the guide groove 13. This wing stopper 21 is displaceable in the directions of movement 26 on the running rail 14 stored. Around the wing stopper 21 at a desired point are located within the projections 22, 23 penetrating fixing screws 24, 25, which with appropriate Operation can be solved or fixed.

Another variant of the point-shaped fitting is the Training as a holding element 47, wherein the holding element 47 is not on the Glass pane of the side part 1, 31, 32 and the wing 2, 43, 44 rests, but is embedded in the surface and therefore no protruding Has parts, which makes cleaning the interior of the shower easier 33 makes it possible.

In FIG. 7, such is shown in a sectional view Holding element 47 reproduced. The holding element 47 shows one cylindrical approach 45 which merges into a tapered course 46. With respect to a center 48 of the holding element 47 is eccentric for this purpose a bore 49 is provided which is provided with a countersink 50. FIG. 8 also shows a top view of the holding element 47 Adjustment bores 52 for the attachment of a tool to the Holding element 47 to rotate its center 48. It becomes clear that by rotating the holding element 47 around its center 48 the bore 50 with its center 53 a circular course leaves. However, since the holding element 47 is not at its center 48 is fixed, but via the bore 50, as below is described, the holding element 47 does not rotate about its center 48 but around the center 53 of the bore 50.

Another type of adjustment of the holding element 47 show the Figures 9 and 10, in which the holding element 47 on its upper side has a recess in the form of a hexagon socket 51 in which appropriate tool with a complementary shape for adjustment can be used.

The above-described holding member 47 is in the following Description of Figure 2 have been applied.

The holding element 47 is used in addition to the adjustment Attachment of a glass pane 1, 31, 32, 2, 43, 44. Within the Glass panes 1 and 2 is the holding element 47 of the type described above used.

The holding element 47 is fixed in the glass pane 1 Side part, as shown in Figure 2, flush let in. The holding element 47 can be directly or under Intermediate insert of a liner as glass protection, which has the same shape as the holding element 47 has to be introduced. Penetrated the holding element through the eccentrically located bore 49 their reduction 50 by a mounting screw 5. Die Fastening screw 5 is inside on the other side the glass plate 1 lying guide rail 14 screwed. By a corresponding rotation of the holding element 47 within the in the Existing holes in glass can thus be adjusted laterally Direction as well as in height and thus adjustment of the running rail 14 be effected.

Interact with the running rail 14, as already shown in FIG. 1 described, the support and support roller. Only the roll holder 16 of the Carrier roller 8 and the support roller 9 are also via holding pieces 47, which in the glass pane 2 are chipped and also adjustable.

For reasons that are not described in more detail, the Adjustment options are omitted, so a holding element 47 can be used, which has no eccentric bore and thus at its center 48 the mounting hole for the penetration the fastening screw 5, 6. This type of attachment from Fitting is included in both FIG. 2a and FIG. 4 reproduced on a glider. In Figures 2, 2a and 4, however always the fittings 3 and 7 flush with the surface of the Glass panes 1 and 2.
