[0001] The invention refers to a shower cubicle with at least within the cab area above a seat a heat emitter arranged within the range of the backrest, which is arranged behind a window with a cover permeable for radiant heat.

In order to be able to use shower cubicles also for a thermal treatment, it provide is well-known, the shower cubicle with a folding seat too and plan above the folding seat in the range of a backrest a heat emitter. For this purpose a wall of the shower cubicle can be box-like with a thrust employment trained (RK 509401 a2), which takes up the heat emitter with its power supply, so that the heat emitter can be waited over by thrust employment zugängigen outside of the cab area. Into the cab area concluding, being certain wall of the wall box are with the help of a glass taken off windows for depress the radiated infrared radiation into the cab area intended. Unfavorably with this well-known shower cubicle it is above all that the wall box makes additional construction measures outer necessary ßerhalb the cab area, what not only the construction expenditure increased, but also opposes an additional installation of such wall boxes in shower cubicles, to it comes that for a well-being the cab area would have to be warmed up additionally.

Beyond that is it admits (DE 20 2010 004,981 U1), to plan within a shower cubicle a showering panel which covers not only all Kaltund of warm water connections, but additionally also a heat emitter, which is integrated into the showering panel. The showering panel forms for this a window provided with a cover permeable for radiant heat above an auxiliary seat, in order to protect the heat emitter from splash-water. It is unfavorable that because of the common accommodation of the Wasseranschlüsse and the electrical power supply special attention to a guidance of the conductions protected against humidity must be ensured. In addition an additional installation of a heat emitter is possible only at a comparatively high construction expenditure.

The invention is thus the basis the task to train a shower cubicle of the initially described kind in such a way that with comparatively simple constructional means an additional equipment with a heat emitter and thus an extended employment of the cab area can be guaranteed as heat cab.

The invention solves the task posed by the fact that the backrest upward exhibits an upward open, pit managing over the cab area waterproof locked in relation to the cab area for the admission of the heat emitter that the double-walled trained seat between the two wall parts carries an electrical resistance heating and that electrical Energieund control lines for the heat emitter and the electrical resistance heating is led by the pit of the backrest.

According to the summary of the seat and the backrest to a construction unit, which exhibits the heat emitter with all necessary Steuerund power supply connections, shower cubicles can be re-tooled in simple way with heat emitters, in order to be able to be useful additionally as heat cabs. In addition with the electrical resistance heating integrated in the seat for an additional heating up of the cab area one provides, which increases the well-being of a user of such a heat cab. Since the backrest of the construction unit forms an upward open pit waterproof locked in relation to the cab area, which manages upward over the cab area and is upward openly trained, Energieversorgungsund control lines can in simple way from above be supplied, without running the risk that these conductions come with the employment of the cab area as wet cell with humidity from the cab area into contact. This is valid naturally also for the heat emitter, which is arranged behind a Fens sterreichisches patent office RK 12,765 U1 2012-11-15 more ter the backrest in the waterproof locked pit. The window in the backrest is dampproof locked by a cover permeable for radiant heat with the help of a poetry. Nevertheless the heat emitter for maintenance work remains accessible, because the cover can be removed. Favourably however maintenance work can be accomplished also by the pit from above, whereby the danger is avoided that the cover does not take the window off after the maintenance work any longer waterproof. Particularly favorable installation conditions arise in addition as a result of it that the construction unit is fastened with distance to the cab wall, so that the construction unit is behind-ventilated.

So that for an additional heating of the cab area can be provided, at least an electrical gilled pipe heating element can be planned underneath the seat, whose electrical power supply lines are led again across the pit of the backrest. Such gilled pipe heating elements are waterproof implemented, so that their arrangement does not bring difficulties underneath the seat in a wet cell with itself. In order to protect the gilled pipe heating elements directly against splash-water, a hole apron can be pre-aged to the gilled pipe heating elements.

The backrest can be heated likewise, for which again an electrical resistance heating presents itself. Since the pit of the backrest does not have to extend over the entire width of the backrest, outside of the pit a running section of the backrest is to be trained as the admission of an electrical resistance heating double-walled to lock in order these resistance heatings as within the seat range hermetically in relation to the cab area.

in the design the invention article is for example represented. Fig show. 1 a construction unit for a shower cubicle according to invention in a simplified front view, Fig. 2 this construction unit on average after the line I1-11 of the Fig. 1, Fig. 3 the construction unit after the Fig. 1 and 2 in a plan view, in a larger yardstick, Fig. 4 a structural variant of a construction unit after the invention in a front view and Fig. 5 this construction unit on average after the line V-V of the Fig. 4.

Into the Fig. 1 to 3 represented construction unit 1 for reequipping a shower cubicle to a heat cab exhibits to a seat 2 with a following backrest 3, which forms an upward open pit 4, which is waterproof final in relation to the cab area 5 and manages upward over the cab area 5, like this the Fig. 2 to be taken can do. In the backrest 3 a window 6 is formed out, which is solvable locked under span of an appropriate poetry with a cover 7, which is manufactured from a suitable glass for radiant heat permeable and preferably. Behind the window 6 a heat emitter 8 is arranged in the pit 4.

The seat 2 is double-walled trained, like this the Fig. 2 to be taken can do, in order to plan within the seat range an electrical resistance heating 9, which is hermetically final in relation to the cab area 5. An electrical resistance heating 10 can be also in the range of the backrest 3 intended, like this dash-dotted in the Fig. 1 is suggested. Since this electrical resistance heating 10 within the waterproof locked pit 4 is arranged, it does not require additional measures, in order to protect this resistance heating 10 against humidity.

Additionally to the electrical resistance heatings 9, 10 in Sitzund backrest range at least an electrical gilled pipe heating element 11 underneath the seat 2 can be planned, which is supplied again via the waterproof pit 4 with electricity, so that by the seat the 2 and the backrest 3 formed construction unit 1 with sterreichisches patent office RKs 12,765 U1 2012-11-15 all heating mechanisms, controllers and heat emitters can be pre-mounted, in order in the cab area 5 of a shower cubicle to be only hung up. The attachment of the construction unit 1 at a cab wall 12 is made by spacer 13, in order to know the construction unit 1 in the cab area 5 behind air. The water installations of the shower cubicle within the cab area 5 remain untouched by the installation of the construction unit 1, if this construction unit 1 is not installed at the cab wall with the water installations. After the assembly of the construction unit 1 the electrical connections can be made over the upward open pit 4 without difficulties.

While the construction unit 1 after the Fig. 1 to 3 for an attachment at a cab wall 12 is intended, is the construction unit 1 after the Fig. 4 and 5 for the hitting a corner installation meant.

The substantial design features remain the same however. The backrest 3 forms again a waterproof locked pit 4 with a heat emitter 9 behind a window 6 of the backrest 3, whereby the window 6 exhibits a waterproof cover 7 permeable for radiant heat. The seat 2 is double-walled trained, in order to take up an electrical resistance heating 9. Underneath the seat 2 again electrical gilled pipe heating elements 11 can be intended, which are supplied via the pit 4 within the range of the backrest 3 with electricity.

Since the backrest exhibits 3 laterally 4 sections 14 managing over the pit, these sections 14 must be trained double-walled, if they are to be equipped with an electrical resistance heating 10.

So that the gilled pipe heating elements 11, which are actually already waterproof implemented, can be protected additionally against splash-water, a hole apron 15 can be intended, those a direct admission of the gilled pipe heating elements 11 with splash-water to a large extent prevented underneath the seat 2.

The construction unit 1 can be preferably manufactured made of high-grade steel, which however not is compelling. Perhaps in the case of a manufacturing from plastic the advantage results that the electric insulation of the heating conductor is uncritical in relation to the construction unit 1. Although due to the final building method the direct connection is quite possible to a light-current net, the enterprise of the electrical mechanisms can be made as a precaution also with a low-voltage for safety reasons.
