Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bade- oder Whirlpoolwanne mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, die mit einer die Wanne seitlich umschließenden Verkleidung ausgerüstet ist, die an mindestens einer ihrer Seitenwände eine Auflage für jeweils eine Baugruppe von mindestens zwei miteinander verbundenen Paneelen in deinstalliertem Zustand aufweist.The invention relates to a bath or whirlpool tub having a rectangular cross-section, which is equipped with a laterally surrounding the tub panel having on at least one of its side walls a support for one assembly of at least two interconnected panels in uninstalled state.

Bei einem Whirlpool handelt es sich um ein mit warmem Wasser zu befüllendes Becken, in das mittels Düsen Luft eingeblasen und damit das Wasser in strudelnde, brodelnde Bewegung versetzt wird. Damit verbindet sich für den in dem Becken liegenden oder sitzenden Benutzer ein über das reine Baden hinausgehendes Erlebnis. Verglichen mit Badewannen bauen Whirlpools relativ groß, je nach ihrem Standort in Hotels, Fitnesscentern, in Privathäusern - oderwohnungen, innen oder außen. Im Gegensatz zu Badewannen werden Whirlpools in aller Regel aufgrund ihrer Größe und der damit verbundenen Wassermenge nicht nach jeder Benutzung geleert. Sie werden stattdessen mit einer Abdeckung versehen, um das Wasser vor Verunreinigungen zu schützen und die Wärme möglichst im Becken zu halten. Diese Abdeckungen sind häufig plattenartig ausgebildet und werden über das Becken geklappt oder geschoben. Gemeinsam ist allen bisher bekannten Lösungen eine gewisse Wuchtigkeit, nicht zuletzt bedingt durch die gewünschte Isolierwirkung solch einer Abdeckung. Dies macht gleichzeitig die Handhabung schwierig, da gerade etwas größer bauende Pools naturgemäß dann auch mit großen, schweren Abdeckplatten ausgerüstet sein müssen. Es kommt hinzu, dass diese relativ monströsen Platten dann in unmittelbarer Nähe des Pools ansonsten ungenutzt abgelegt werden, wo sie kein besonders ansprechendes Bild abgeben. Aus der US 5,974,600 ist ein Whirlpool mit Paneelen bekannt. Solch ein Pool umfasst eine aufwendig bauende Hydraulik mit Zylindern, über welche die Paneele zwischen den beiden Positionen verstellt werden können, in denen sie auf oder neben der eigentlichen Wanne platziert sind. Ähnlich verhält es sich mit der US 8,726,429 und Scharnieren, um welche die Paneele zwischen den angesprochenen beiden Positionen verstellbar sind. Diesen Lösungen ist gemeinsam, dass sie aufwendig bauen und potentielle Verletzungsstellen an ihren äußeren Berandungen aufweisen.A whirlpool is a pool to be filled with warm water, into which air is injected through jets, causing the water to whirl and swirl. This combines for the user lying in the pool or sitting beyond the pure bathing experience. Compared with bathtubs, whirlpools are relatively large, depending on their location in hotels, fitness centers, in private homes - or apartments, inside or outside. Unlike bathtubs, whirlpools are usually not emptied after each use due to their size and the associated amount of water. They are instead provided with a cover to protect the water from contamination and to keep the heat as possible in the pool. These covers are often plate-like and are folded or pushed over the pelvis. Common to all previously known solutions a certain amount of moisture, not least due to the desired insulating effect of such a cover. This makes the handling difficult at the same time, since just slightly larger pools must of course be equipped with large, heavy cover plates. It should be added that these relatively monstrous plates are then stored in the immediate vicinity of the pool otherwise unused, where they do not give a particularly appealing image. From the US 5,974,600 is a hot tub known with panels. Such a pool includes an elaborate hydraulics with cylinders, through which the panels can be adjusted between the two positions in which they are placed on or next to the actual tub. The situation is similar with the US 8,726,429 and hinges, around which the panels are adjustable between the two mentioned positions. These solutions have in common that they build consuming and have potential injury sites on their outer edges.

Damit stellt sich der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Bade- oder Whirlpoolwanne zu schaffen, die sich im installierten Zustand durch Kompaktheit auszeichnet und keine potentiellen Verletzungsstellen an ihrer äußeren Berandung umfasst.Thus, the present invention has the object to provide a bath or spa tub, which is characterized in the installed state by compactness and does not include potential injury sites on its outer boundary.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Auflage durch mindestens zwei teleskopierbar ausgebildete Stangen gebildet ist.The object of the invention is achieved in that the support is formed by at least two telescopically formed rods.

Um die Paneele schnell und platzsparend verstauen zu können, verfügt die erfindungsgemäße Wanne über mindestens eine Auflage für jeweils eine aus mindestens zwei miteinander verbundenen Paneelen bestehende Baugruppe. Am zweckmäßigsten verfügt die Wanne an zwei Seitenwänden, vorzugsweise liegen diese sich gegenüber, über entsprechende Auflagen, auf denen die Paneele gestapelt untergebracht werden können. Das heißt in deinstalliertem Zustand, in dem die Wanne frei zugänglich und nicht abgedeckt ist, können die Paneele besonders gut auf den Auflagen untergebracht werden. Speziell im wachsenden Markt der rechteckigen Pools liegt darin eine besonders geeignete Lösung. Dank der hohen Stabilität der Paneele kann die Wanne samt installierter Paneele auch als Liegefläche für mehrere Personen genutzt werden.In order to store the panels quickly and space-saving, the tub according to the invention has at least one support for each one of at least two interconnected panels existing assembly. Most conveniently, the tub on two side walls, preferably they are opposite each other, on appropriate conditions on which the panels can be stacked. That is, in the uninstalled state, in which the tub is freely accessible and not covered, the panels can be accommodated particularly well on the pads. Especially in the growing market of rectangular pools is a particularly suitable solution. Thanks to the high stability of the panels, the tub, including installed panels, can also be used as a bed for several people.

Was die Ausbildung der Auflage betrifft, ist vorgesehen, dass die Auflage durch mindestens zwei Stangen gebildet ist, die sich paarweise an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden der Verkleidung befinden.As far as the design of the support is concerned, it is provided that the support is formed by at least two rods, which are located in pairs on opposite side walls of the covering.

Indem die Stangen teleskopierbar ausgebildet sind, können sie optimal in dem Zwischenraum zwischen Wanne und Verkleidung in ihrem eingefahrenen Zustand untergebracht werden, während im ausgefahrenen Zustand ein Maximum an Platz als Auflager für die Paneele zur Verfügung steht.By the rods are formed telescopically, they can be optimally accommodated in the space between the tub and panel in its retracted state, while in the extended state is a maximum of space available as a support for the panels.

Dass die Verkleidung über die Wannenumrandung reicht, dass sich also die Verkleidung ein Stück weit nach innen über die Wannenumrandung erstreckt, dient vor allem dem Zweck, die Paneele wiederum im installierten Zustand bündig und damit so passgenau auf der Wanne unterbringen zu können, dass praktisch kein Schmutz von außen in das Becken hinein und keine Wärme aus dem Becken heraus gelangen kann.The fact that the panel extends over the tub border, so that the panel extends a little way inward over the tub border, mainly serves the purpose of the panels again in the installed state flush and so accurately fit to the tub can accommodate that virtually no Dirt from the outside into the pool and no heat can escape from the pool.

Die Paneele sind bekanntlich in Baugruppen zusammengefasst, so dass sie sich gut zusammen auf dem Auflager verstauen lassen. Es empfiehlt sich daher, wenn die Verkleidung an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden eine Auflage aufweist und damit insgesamt zwei. Ein Whirlpool ist am besten mit zwei Baugruppen à jeweils zwei miteinander an ihren Außenkanten verbundenen Paneelen auszurüsten.The panels are known to be grouped together so that they can be stowed together well on the support. It is therefore recommended that the cladding on opposite side walls has a support and thus a total of two. A whirlpool is best equipped with two assemblies, each with two panels connected to each other at their outer edges.

Um die Stangen einerseits sicher unterzubringen zu können und andererseits ein möglichst sicheres Auflager zu gewährleisten, ist vorgesehen, dass die Stangen im Bereich der Ecken der Verkleidung angeordnet sind, mit anderen Worten sollten die Stangen möglichst am Ende einer Seitenwand angeordnet sein.In order to safely accommodate the rods on the one hand and on the other hand to ensure the safest possible support, it is provided that the rods are arranged in the corners of the panel, in other words, the rods should be located as possible at the end of a side wall.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Stangen im eingefahrenen Zustand in der Verkleidung oder in dem Zwischenraum zwischen Wanne und Verkleidung angeordnet sind. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass auszuschließen ist, dass die Stangen irgendwie in den Bereich der Wanne hineinragen oder diese gar beschädigen, so dass der Zwischenraum zwischen Wanne und Verkleidung entsprechend durch das Positionieren der Stangen dort im eingefahrenen Zustand ausgenützt werden sollte.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the rods are arranged in the retracted state in the panel or in the space between the tub and panel. It goes without saying that can be ruled out that the rods somehow protrude into the area of the tub or even damage, so that the space between the tub and panel accordingly by the Positioning of the rods should be exploited there in the retracted state.

Im weitesten Sinne können die erfindungsgemäßen Paneele auch zur Vergrößerung der Bade- oder Whirlpoolwanne ausgenutzt werden, etwa als Fläche zum Auflegen von Handtüchern, Bademänteln, Getränken etc.. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es dann sinnvoll, wenn die Stangen in einem Abstand zu der Oberkante der Verkleidung angeordnet sind, der in etwa der Stärke zweier gestapelter Paneele entspricht, so dass diese zumindest annähernd bündig mit der Verkleidung der Bade- oder Whirlpoolwanne abschließen.In the broadest sense, the panels of the invention can also be exploited to enlarge the bath or spa tub, such as surface for placing towels, bathrobes, drinks, etc .. In this context, it makes sense if the rods at a distance to the top of the Cover are arranged, which corresponds approximately to the strength of two stacked panels, so that they at least approximately flush with the cladding of the bath or spa tub.

In dem anderen, d. h. in dem installierten Zustand der Schutzabdeckung sollte diese die Wanne möglichst lückenlos abdecken, um ihre volle Isolierwirkung entfalten zu können. Dazu wären beim Auflegen der Baugruppen von Paneelen mögliche Kopfstützen, mit denen der Whirlpool ausgerüstet ist, im Weg. Insofern ist der Vorschlag zu verstehen, nach dem die Bade- oder Whirlpoolwanne mit einklappbaren Kopfstützen ausgerüstet ist, so dass die Paneele ohne Beeinträchtigung auf die Umrandung des Pools aufgelegt werden können.In the other, d. H. in the installed state of the protective cover this should cover the tub as completely as possible in order to develop their full insulation can. For this, when placing the modules of panels possible headrests with which the whirlpool is equipped, in the way. In this respect, the proposal is to be understood after the bath or spa tub is equipped with retractable headrests, so that the panels can be placed without affecting the border of the pool.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass eine optimal handhabbare, schnell zu montierende und wieder zu demontierende, leichte, perfekt isolierende, hohen Belastungen standhaltende und gut zu verstauende Schutzabdeckung für einen Whirlpool geschaffen ist. Die Schutzabdeckung umfasst dabei zwei Baugruppen von paarweise miteinander verbundenen Paneelen, die auf die Umrandung der Wanne oder eine rahmenartige Verkleidung aufgelegt werden können. Dazu sind die Paneele paarweise scharnierartig an ihren Kanten miteinander verbunden, so dass sie sich im deinstallierten Zustand, wenn das Wasser nicht abgedeckt werden muss, gut stapeln lassen. Im installierten Zustand geschieht dies am zweckmäßigsten an den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden der Verkleidung in Form eines aus zwei Stangen gebildeten Auflagers, wobei die Stangen teleskopierbar ausgebildet sind, so dass sie in die Verkleidung der Wanne eingeschoben werden können, wenn das Auflager nicht gebraucht wird, weil die Paneele auf der Umrandung installiert sind. In dem anderen, deinstallierten Zustand mit offener Wanne hingegen können die Paneele auf den Auflagern gestapelt werden, die dazu teleskopierbar ausgebildet sind und aus der Verkleidung entsprechend herausgezogen werden können.The invention is characterized in particular by the fact that an optimally manageable, easy to install and dismountable, lightweight, perfectly insulating, high-load resistant and well stowable protective cover for a whirlpool is created. The protective cover comprises two assemblies of paired panels that can be placed on the edge of the tub or a frame-like panel. For this purpose, the panels are connected in pairs hinged at their edges, so that they can be well stacked in the uninstalled state, when the water does not need to be covered. In the installed state, this is most conveniently done on the opposite side walls of the panel in the form of a two-bar bearing, wherein the rods are telescopically formed so that they can be inserted into the lining of the tub when the support is not needed because the panels are installed on the frame. In the other, uninstalled state with open trough, however, the panels can be stacked on the supports, which are designed to be telescopic and can be pulled out of the panel accordingly.

Figur 1 zeigt einen geschlossenen, quadratischen Whirlpool 1 mit installierter Schutzabdeckung 2. Diese Abdeckung 2 dient dabei nicht nur zum Schutz des in dem Whirlpool befindlichen Wassers vor Abkühlung oder Verschmutzung, sondern auch als stabile und kompakte Liegefläche, als sogenanntes Daybed. Die Schutzabdeckung umfasst zwei Baugruppen 3, 4 à jeweils zwei Paneelen 5, 6 bzw. 7, 8. Dazu bestehen die jeweiligen Baugruppen 3, 4 aus jeweils zwei Paneelen 5, 6 bzw. 7, 8 und sind an ihren Außenkanten scharnierartig miteinander verbunden. Dies bedeutet gleichzeitig, dass die vier Paneele 5 bis 8 sich auch dahingehend sehr einfach installieren lassen, als eben diese Schutzabdeckung 2 nur aus zwei Teilen 3 und 4 besteht. Umgeben ist die hier nicht gezeigte Wanne von einer Verkleidung 9, welche diese rahmenartig umgibt und deren Seitenwände 15 und 16 hier erkennbar sind. Das Auflager 17, 17' ist erkennbar in Form der beiden Stangen 18, 19, die sich in dieser Darstellung im eingefahrenen Zustand befinden. Die Stange 18 verschwindet beispielsweise in dem Zwischenraum zwischen der Wanne und der Seitenwand 16. Um ein möglichst großes Auflager 17, 17' zu generieren, sollten die Stangen 18, 19 möglichst weit in den Ecken 22, 23 der Verkleidung positioniert sein, was damit einhergeht, dass hier die Zwischenräume zwischen Wanne und Verkleidung 9 ohnehin vorhanden sind, in die die das Auflager bildenden Stangen eingeschoben werden können. FIG. 1 shows a closed, square Whirlpool 1 with installed protective cover 2. This cover 2 serves not only to protect the water contained in the hot tub from cooling or pollution, but also as a stable and compact bed, as a so-called Daybed. The protective cover comprises two subassemblies 3, 4 of two panels 5, 6 and 7, 8 respectively. For this purpose, the respective subassemblies 3, 4 each comprise two panels 5, 6 or 7, 8 and are hingedly connected to one another at their outer edges. At the same time, this means that the four panels 5 to 8 can also be installed very simply to the extent that just this protective cover 2 only consists of two parts 3 and 4. Surrounding the tub is not shown here of a panel 9, which surrounds them like a frame and the side walls 15 and 16 are visible here. The support 17, 17 'can be seen in the form of the two rods 18, 19, which are in this representation in the retracted state. The rod 18 disappears, for example, in the gap between the tub and the side wall 16. To generate the largest possible support 17, 17 ', the rods 18, 19 should be positioned as far as possible in the corners 22, 23 of the panel, which goes along with the fact that here the spaces between Pan and lining 9 are present anyway, in which the support forming rods can be inserted.

Teilweise geöffnet ist die Schutzabdeckung 2 dann in der Darstellung nach Figur 2. An der Seitenwand 15 ist die Schutzabdeckung 2 in Form der Baugruppe 4 komplett geöffnet, die beiden die Baugruppe 4 bildenden Paneele 5, 6 lagern auf dem hier verdeckten Auflager. Aus dem Inneren des Whirlpools 1 sind diese großen Flächen sehr gut erreichbar, so sie etwa zur Ablage von Handtüchern, Bademänteln oder Gläsern geeignet sind.Partially opened, the protective cover 2 then in the illustration after FIG. 2 , On the side wall 15, the protective cover 2 in the form of the assembly 4 is completely open, the two forming the assembly 4 panels 5, 6 store on the here hidden support. From the inside of the whirlpool 1, these large areas are easily accessible, so they are suitable for storing towels, bathrobes or glasses.

Im Bereich der gegenüber liegenden Seitenwand befinden sich die beiden die Baugruppe 3 bildenden Paneele 7 und 8 zumindest annähernd in einem rechten Winkel zueinander, so dass die Wanne 10 nur teilweise abgedeckt ist. Angedeutet mit dem Bezugszeichen 11 und 12 sind die Außenkanten der beiden aneinander stoßenden Paneele 7 und 8, die scharnierartig verbunden sind, um überhaupt die in Figur 2 dargestellte Position einnehmen zu können. Mit 17", 20 bezeichnet ist eine weitere Stange als Teil eines Auflagers auf der der Seitenwand 15 gegenüber liegenden Seite der Verkleidung 9. Die Kopfstützen sind mit dem Bezugszeichen 24, 25 und 26 versehen. Diese sind einklappbar ausgebildet, damit sie den Paneelen 5 und 6 im installierten, d.h. die Wanne 10 abdeckenden Zustand nicht im Weg sind. Gut zu erkennen ist in der Darstellung nach Figur 2 auch der massiv ausgebildete Rand 27 der Verkleidung oberhalb der eigentlichen Wannenumrandung 28 als solides Auflager für die Paneele 5, 6, 7, 8.In the area of the opposite side wall, the two panels 7 and 8 forming the assembly 3 are at least approximately at a right angle to one another, so that the trough 10 is only partially covered. Indicated by the reference numerals 11 and 12, the outer edges of the two abutting panels 7 and 8, which are hingedly connected to the at all in FIG. 2 to take the position shown. Denoted at 17 ", 20 is another bar as part of a support on the side of the panel 9 opposite the side wall 15. The headrests are designated by reference numerals 24, 25 and 26. These are foldable to fit the panels 5 and 6 in the installed, ie the trough 10 covering state are not in the way FIG. 2 Also, the solid rim 27 of the panel above the actual tub border 28 as a solid support for the panels 5, 6, 7, 8th

Von der anderen Seite aus betrachtet, zeigt Figur 3 den Whirlpool 1 mit der den Einstieg in die Wanne 10 erleichternden Stufe 32 an der Seitenwand 14. Die beiden Außenkanten 11, 12 der beiden Paneele 7, 8 sind noch besser erkennbar. Gleiches gilt für das Auflager 17, 17' in Form der beiden ausgezogenen Stangen 20, 21 an der Seitenwand 13, um deren obere Kante die Baugruppe 3 mit ihren beiden Paneelen 7 und 8 dann geklappt werden kann. In der Wanne sind mehrere Düsen erkennbar, von denen hier einige beispielhaft mit den Bezugszeichen 29 und 30 bezeichnet sind.Seen from the other side, shows FIG. 3 the whirlpool 1 with the entry into the tub 10 facilitating stage 32 on the side wall 14. The two outer edges 11, 12 of the two panels 7, 8 are even better visible. The same applies to the support 17, 17 'in the form of the two extended rods 20, 21 on the side wall 13, around the upper edge of the assembly 3 with its two panels 7 and 8 can then be folded. In the tub, a plurality of nozzles are recognizable, some of which are exemplified here by the reference numerals 29 and 30.

Eine Variante mit einem in den Boden 33 eingelassenen Whirlpool mit quadratischem Querschnitt zeigen dann die Figuren 4 bis 6. Der Blick in die Wanne 10 liegt frei, die Schutzabdeckung 2 ist vollständig deinstalliert, die Paneele 5, 6, 7 und 8 liegen nebeneinander neben der Verkleidung 9 des Whirlpools 1.A variant with a sunken in the bottom 33 Whirlpool with square cross section then show the FIGS. 4 to 6 , The view into the tub 10 is exposed, the protective cover 2 is completely uninstalled, the panels 5, 6, 7 and 8 are adjacent to each other next to the panel 9 of the whirlpool. 1

In der Darstellung nach Figur 5 ist die Schutzabdeckung 2 teilweise demontiert, die Paneele 7, 8 passen sich der Stufe 31 an.In the illustration after FIG. 5 If the protective cover 2 is partially dismantled, the panels 7, 8 adapt to the step 31.

Schließlich zeigt Figur 6 den Whirlpool 1 in der Variante nach den Figuren 4 bis 6 mit vollständig installierter Schutzabdeckung 2.Finally shows FIG. 6 the Whirlpool 1 in the variant after the FIGS. 4 to 6 with fully installed protective cover 2.
