    [0002] PERFECTED SHOWER CABIN
    [0004] TECHNICAL FIELD
    [0006] The present invention refers to an improved shower cabin, of general application in the industry destined to the manufacture of bathroom cabins for domestic and / or sanitary use, and that especially incorporate a rotating cubicle equipped inside with an adjustable seat in height, as a means of transport to introduce a seated user with reduced mobility or a handicap inside a shower cabin for personal hygiene.
    [0008] The invention improves the means of transport by structuring the rotating cubicle in a more secure and aesthetic way, for which purpose the axes of rotation of the cubicle are reinforced, which are supported by complementary support structures of the shower cabin, located on the cubicle and by under the base of the same, as well as the transmission of the turn is improved, whose means are hidden in the cubicle itself.
    [0010] Likewise, the walls of the cubicle have been stiffened with resistant materials, which prevents the deformation of the walls due to the torsion that may occur when the cubicle is turned and in a position to interlock the walls with each other by means of a vertical strip to be fitted by its edge bottom in a perimeter channel formed at the base of the cubicle.
    [0012] Said base in the form of a circular segment is structured with two specially shaped bodies that are coupled and anchored to each other, to form a resistant base from which the lower axis of rotation protrudes.
    [0014] Likewise, provision has been made for the lifting seat to be mounted on the base of the rotating cubicle and in a linear extension of the lower rotation axis, which is housed in the hub of a metal support resting on the ground, and which protrudes through a hole in the plate. shower head to allow the rotation of the lower shaft of the cubicle, so that the user's weight is centered on the vertical axis of rotation of the cubicle.
    [0016] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0018] In the current state of the art, the use of a rotating cubicle provided inside with a seat is already known, in a position to be mounted in a shower cabin to allow the transport of a user with reduced mobility or with disabilities to be inserted. automatically inside said shower cabin for personal hygiene.
    [0020] This system of a shower cabin with a rotating cubicle is included in the Spanish invention patent number P201830345 for "perfected shower cabin" requested on 04/06/2018 and currently pending, in favor of Philippe Dufermont, who is the same owner of the present patent application.
    [0022] In this regard, the aim is to improve the structure of the rotating cubicle so that the torsion of its walls does not occur during the rotation, as well as to reinforce the upper and lower rotation axes by means of resistant support structures and so that the adjustable seat in The height of the cubicle can support the weight of any user and that falls in the appropriate area to improve the rotation of the cubicle.
    [0024] Also known by the art, the German patent DE29605479U U1 for "Small shower or washing room located in mobile homes" in favor of Wietrzichowski Arnold Prof. Dip, dated 07/18/1996 and which was cited in the report on the state of the art of the previous patent, as an antecedent of special relevance.
    [0026] Said small shower cabin has the disadvantage of not having a rotating cubicle attached to the cabin to transport a person with reduced mobility or a disabled person into the shower, since it is a small shower for mobile homes, trains, buses, or boats.
    [0028] On the other hand, what rotates in said small shower is the semi-cylindrical door of the shower cabin and therefore when the door is closed no one can enter Inside the small shower cabin and when it is open, the person must enter walking and remain standing, a fact that cannot be carried out by a person who is unable to move their legs.
    [0030] In addition, if the person sits on the inner seat of the door, it will not be able to rotate to the shower area because the legs of the person sitting will trip into the interior of the cabin, preventing the door from turning to the washing area. .
    [0032] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0034] The object of the present invention is to bring to the market an improved shower cabin, the improvements of which focus on improving the rotating means of transport of a shower cabin, so that a user with reduced mobility or with disabilities has greater safety in its transfer to the interior of the cabin for personal hygiene and all this without prejudice to maintaining the aesthetics of the shower cabin.
    [0036] For this purpose, the walls of the cubicle have been manufactured with more resistant materials and with the appropriate thickness, to withstand the torsion that may occur during the turns of the cubicle.
    [0038] Likewise, the upper and lower turning axes of the cubicle have been reinforced with suitable materials and are supported with the possibility of turning on resistant structural supports associated with the shower cabin.
    [0040] Likewise, it has been foreseen that the lifting seat is mounted on the base of the cubicle and supported in a linear extension of the lower turning axis, which is mounted on a metal support, so that it is strong enough to support the weight of any person, who will lie centered on the axis of rotation, facilitating the rotation of the cubicle.
    [0042] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0044] In accordance with the invention, the improved shower cubicle incorporates a rotating cubicle provided at its base with a height-adjustable seat, to be used by a person with reduced mobility or with disabilities, and moved seated to the inside the shower cabin, to carry out your personal hygiene without getting up from your seat.

    [0054] From the base of the cubicle, a lower shaft protrudes with bearings in a position to be housed with the possibility of rotation in a vertical hub, which is associated with a support plate supported on the floor or floor of the bathroom and housed in an internal recess of the shower tray, and in a position to protrude through a hole in the tray in coincidence with the axis of rotation of the base of the cubicle, which remains in axial extension with the upper axis anchored on the recessed body.
    [0056] The invention has provided that said upper shaft anchored to the recessed body can be reinforced by an outer cylinder concentric to the shaft, which is fixed at its upper end to the horizontal arm of the column, without the possibility of movement and ready to receive associated at its lower end, a fixed and cantilevered gear wheel.
    [0058] Said fixed toothed wheel remains in the field of action of a rack movable by the action of a motor, anchored to the wall of the recessed body through a clutch means, which allows the rack to engage with the wheel to transmit the normal rotation of the cubicle of at least 180 °, or in an emergency allow the separation of the motor and therefore the separation of the rack in contact with the wheel, leaving the cubicle free to rotate for manual rotation.
    [0060] The invention has also provided that the lower base of the cubicle can be made up of two bodies coupled and anchored one inside the other, of which the outer metallic body has the shape of a circular segment, larger than a semicircle, with its vertical curved edge. and in proximity to its rectilinear and centered edge, the lower axis of rotation of the cubicle protrudes from its flat base.
    [0062] While the inner body of plastic material, as a cover, has the same general shape of a circular segment and forms on its curved edge a stepped horizontal flange with its raised surface, which determines with the vertical curved edge of the outer body, the fit curved perimeter, where the lower edges of the plates or wall of the cubicle are housed through a watertight joint.
    [0064] Said inner body or cover also forms, in proximity to its closed rectilinear edge, a watertight box, in a position to receive the fixing of a seat lifting device, the motor of which is connected to an electrical cable that passes through an axial hole of the lower shaft of rotation and which is guided by a transverse channel of the shower tray communicated with the hub where the lower axis of the base of the cubicle is coupled and rotated.
    [0066] Likewise, the invention has provided that the column and the horizontal support arm are configured with hollow profiles in a position to guide and house the electrical cables for connection to the motor and the electronic circuit. motor operation controller, housed inside the recessed body.
    [0068] Likewise, through the cavity of the column and the horizontal arm, the water conduction is produced that enters through the column provided with opening and closing controls and arrives through flexible conduits through the horizontal arm to the shower head suspended from the body. recessed to project the water into the cubicle.
