Tub Partition, and Method for Mounting a Tub Partition

Abstract

The invention relates to a frameless, self-supporting tub partition ( 1 ) comprising at least one wall element ( 3 ) of synthetic glass, characterized in that the tub partition ( 1 ) comprises at least one supplemental element ( 5 ) that may be detachably affixed to the wall element ( 3 ), whereby the supplemental element ( 5 ) is configured to protect and/or to adapt and/or to mark the at least one wall element ( 3 ) to local installation dimensions during installation of the tub partition ( 1 ) by means of a processing device. The invention also relates to a method to install such a tub partition.

         15 . Frameless, self-supporting tub partition comprising at least one wall element of synthetic glass,
 characterized in that   the tub partition comprises at least one supplemental element that may be detachably affixed to the wall element, whereby the supplemental element is configured to protect and/or to adapt and/or to mark the at least one wall element to local installation dimensions during installation of the tub partition by means of a processing device.   
     
     
         16 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the supplemental element is partially or completely connectable with at least one side of the wall element. 
     
     
         17 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the supplemental element comprises markings at pre-defined positions to adapt the at least one wall element and/or to position at least one fitting. 
     
     
         18 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the at least one wall element may be processed on all sides on-site. 
     
     
         19 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the at least one wall element is provided with at least one fitting. 
     
     
         20 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which at least one shaped piece is partially or totally emplaced onto at least one edge of the at least one wall element. 
     
     
         21 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which at least one fitting is mounted onto or may be mounted in the at least one wall element by an adhesive. 
     
     
         22 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the at least one wall element is formed as a moveable door or as a fixed side wall. 
     
     
         23 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  that comprises several wall elements pivoting or sliding with respect to one another. 
     
     
         24 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the at least one wall element is combinable with at least one additional wall element of safety glass. 
     
     
         25 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the at least one wall element comprises at least one projection and/or at least one recess. 
     
     
         26 . Tub partition as in  claim 15  in which the at least one wall element is nano-coated. 
     
     
         27 . Method to install a frameless, self-supporting tub partition comprising the steps:
 Transferring local installation dimensions by means of the and/or onto an at least one supplemental element that may be detachably affixed to at least one wall element;   Adapting the at least one wall element to local installation dimensions with a processing device; and   Assembling the tub partition.   
     
     
         28 . Method as in  claim 27 , further comprising the step of:
 Processing the at least one wall element in order to make the said at least one wall element at least partially opaque.
