Description

La présente invention a pour objet une colonne de douche modulable.The subject of the present invention is a column modular shower.

Une colonne de douche est un ensemble fonctionnel préfabriqué comprenant une coque allongée, généralement en matière plastique, en bois, en verre, en aluminium ou en matériau de synthèse et est destinée à être fixée verticalement contre un mur ou dans une cabine de douche. La face antérieure de la colonne de douche comprend d'une part des éléments constitutifs d'une douche tels que le pommeau de douche, fixe ou mobile, des buses émettant des jets pour les hydromassages ou encore une étagère porte savon, et d'autre part des éléments de robinetterie tels que les robinets ou les mitigeurs.A shower column is a set prefabricated functional comprising an elongated shell, usually made of plastic, wood, glass, aluminum or synthetic material and is intended for be fixed vertically against a wall or in a cabin shower. The front side of the shower column includes on the one hand components of a shower such as the shower head, fixed or mobile, nozzles emitting jets for hydromassages or even a soap holder shelf, and other elements of fittings such as taps or mixers.

Toutefois, pour pouvoir répondre aux besoins des utilisateurs actuels les constructeurs sont amenés à proposer des gammes de colonnes de douches d'aspects esthétiques différents ce qui augmente le coût de fabrication. Par ailleurs les utilisateurs sont obligés de changer leur colonne de douche s'ils souhaitent modifier leur aspect esthétique.However, to be able to meet the needs of current users, manufacturers are led to offer ranges of shower columns different aesthetics which increases the cost of manufacturing. In addition, users are obliged to change their shower column if they wish to change their aesthetic appearance.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une colonne de douche dont l'aspect esthétique peut être facilement modifié en fonction des circonstances à savoir en utilisation et à la vente.The object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages by proposing a shower column whose the aesthetic appearance can be easily changed to depending on the circumstances, namely in use and sale.

La colonne de douche selon la présente invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'elle est constituée d'une part d'une coque allongée munie des éléments constitutifs d'une douche et les éléments de robinetterie et d'autre part une façade amovible recouvrant la face antérieure de ladite coque et comportant des ouvertures permettant de laisser passer les éléments constitutifs de la douche.The shower column according to this invention is essentially characterized in that it is consisting on the one hand of an elongated shell provided with components of a shower and the elements of taps and on the other hand a removable front covering the anterior face of said shell and having openings allowing the passage of components of the shower.

Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel de la présente invention la façade sera solidarisée à la coque allongée par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un élément de robinetterie. Celui-ci pourra comporter une bague filetée de manière à permettre la solidarisation de la façade amovible au moyen d'un écrou venant se visser sur ladite bague et serrer la façade sur ladite coque. La façade pourra être plaquée contre la paroi de la coque allongée au moyen d'éléments de solidarisation rapide tels que par exemple des éléments auto agrippant connues sous le nom commercial de "bandes velcro".In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the facade will be secured to the hull elongated through at least one element of faucets. This may include a threaded ring so as to allow the façade to be joined removable by means of a nut which is screwed onto said ring and tighten the front on said shell. The facade can be pressed against the wall of the elongated shell by means of rapid fastening elements such as by example of the self-gripping elements known as "Velcro tape" commercial.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de la présente invention la façade sera solidarisée à la coque uniquement au moyen des éléments de solidarisation rapide tels que les éléments auto agrippant.In another embodiment of the present invention the facade will be secured to the hull only by means of quick-fastening elements such as self-gripping elements.

La façade sera réalisée de préférence en une matière plastique et plus particulièrement du plexiglas.The facade will preferably be made in one plastic and more particularly plexiglass.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente plusieurs modes de réalisation non limitatifs.

  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de la coque de la colonne de douche de la figure 1.
  • la figure 3 représente une vue en perspective de la face interne de la façade amovible de la colonne de douche selon la présente invention.
  • la figure 4 représente une vue en détail et en perspective du mitigeur permettant la solidarisation de la façade.
The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents several non-limiting embodiments.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a shower column according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents a perspective view of the shell of the shower column of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of the internal face of the removable front of the shower column according to the present invention.
  • Figure 4 shows a detailed and perspective view of the mixer for securing the facade.

Si on se réfère à la figure 1 et à la figure 2 on peut voir qu'une colonne de douche selon la présente invention est constituée d'une part d'une coque 1 allongée et d'autre part une façade 2 amovible.If we refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 we can see that a shower column according to this invention consists on the one hand of an elongated shell 1 and on the other hand a removable front 2.

La coque 1 allongée renferme la tuyauterie et comporte sur sa face antérieure, à sa partie supérieure, une proéminence 10 au sommet de laquelle est solidarisée un pommeau de douche 11 et, centralement, quatre buses 12 pour l'émission de jets d'hydromassage entourant un mitigeur 13 pour le réglage de la température de l'eau et un robinet et un robinet 14 et d'autre part une façade 2 amovible.The elongated shell 1 encloses the piping and has on its front side, at its upper part, a prominence 10 at the top of which is secured a shower head 11 and, centrally, four nozzles 12 for the emission of hydromassage jets surrounding a mixing valve 13 for adjusting the water temperature and a tap and a tap 14 and on the other hand a facade 2 removable.

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 3 on peut voir que la façade 2, qui est destinée à recouvrir la face antérieure de la coque 1, est réalisée à partir d'une plaque de forme globalement rectangulaire qui sera réalisée de préférence en matière plastique et plus particulièrement à partir de plexiglas. Elle comporte des découpes 20 permettant de faire passer les buses 12, des découpes 21 pour le passage des éléments de robinetterie 13,14 et une découpe 22 en forme de V pour le passage la proéminence 10 du pommeau de douche 11. On peut voir également qu'une découpe circulaire 23 est pratiquée dans la partie inférieure de la façade 2 pour permettre l'accès à un évidemment 15, pratiqué dans la coque 1, destiné à former une étagère porte savon.If we now refer to Figure 3 we can see that the facade 2, which is intended to cover the front face of the shell 1, is made from a generally rectangular plate which will be preferably made of plastic and more particularly from plexiglass. It includes cutouts 20 for passing the nozzles 12, cut-outs 21 for the passage of fittings 13,14 and a V-shaped cutout 22 for the passage prominence 10 of the shower head 11. You can see also that a circular cut 23 is made in the lower part of facade 2 to allow access to an obviously 15, made in the shell 1, intended for form a soap dish shelf.

La solidarisation de la façade 2 à la coque 1 est réalisée au moyen du mitigeur 13 qui comporte à cet effet, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, une bague 3 filetée permettant de visser un écrou 30, après avoir positionné la façade 2 contre la coque 1, lequel écrou 30 venant alors serrer la façade 2 contre la face antérieure de la coque 1.Securing the facade 2 to the hull 1 is achieved by means of the mixer 13 which includes effect, as can be seen in Figure 4, a ring 3 threaded to screw a nut 30, after having positioned the front 2 against the shell 1, which nut 30 then tighten the front 2 against the front side hull 1.

La façade 2 est maintenue plaquée contre la coque 1 au moyen d'élément de solidarisation rapide 4,4' connus sous le nom commercial de "bandes velcros".The facade 2 is kept pressed against the shell 1 by means of a fastening element 4.4 ' known under the trade name of "Velcro bands".

On notera que la solidarisation peut être effectuée par tout type autre moyen de solidarisation rapide tels que des éléments de vissage, des éléments d'encliquetage, des systèmes quart de tour, des glissières ou encore des éléments magnétiques.Note that the joining can be carried out by any other type of connection fast such as screwing elements, elements latching, quarter turn systems, slides or magnetic elements.

Par ailleurs la façade 2 peut adopter des formes variées et être réalisée à partir de matériaux divers tels que des le verre, le bois, l'aluminium, le métal ou les composites.In addition, the facade 2 can adopt various shapes and be made from materials various such as glass, wood, aluminum, metal or composites.
