Abstract (en)

Shower cubicle installation system in which the shower cubicle comprises a shower tray (1) surrounded by at least one fixed vertical side wall (4, 5) and, connected along one vertical edge to an upright (12, 13, 47, 48) that will be fixed to the said fixed side wall (4, 5), at least one fixed wall or swing door (8, 9) whose other, free edge is intended to meet the opposite edge of another wall or door (8,9) surrounding the shower tray (1), the said upright (12, 13, 47, 48) being provided with means (24, 25, 31a, 51, 52) for varying, up to a predetermined maximum value of axial extensibility, the distance of the said free edge from the said fixed wall (4, 5) and for locking it firmly in the correct position so that it correctly meets the opposing edge of the said other wall or door surrounding the shower tray (1), and also a plurality of components (42, 58, 59, 60) for creating a water containment lip (18, 20) which is fitted to the upper edge (6a, 7a) of the sides (6, 7) of the shower tray (1), around which it runs. According to the system, the said plurality of components for creating the said water containment lip (18, 20) includes means for adjusting the axial length of the said containment lip so that it fits the actual measurement of the outline of the shower tray (1), the maximum value (L) of the said adjustable axial length being not greater than the said predetermined maximum value of the extensibility of the means for varying the distance of the said free edge from the fixed wall (4, 5). <IMAGE>
