Abstract
A process of fabrication of a shower tray wherein it comprises the steps of: selecting a plate in thermoplastic material; cutting at least one corner; heating the plate to soften it; forming the plate on a mold to raise the convex limit at the at least one corner and the edges between the cuts, the junction between a central portion of the plate, forming a bottom, and each raised edge being curved; and joining raised edges at each corner.
Claims18
A process of fabrication of a shower tray comprises the steps of:
- selecting a plate of thermoplastic material, the plate having corners;
- cutting at least one corner along an outline, each outline comprising, in a plane of the plate, a first line perpendicular to one of the edges of said corner, a second line perpendicular to another of the edges of said corner, an arcuate line between the first and the second line defining a convex limit, and a first and a second recess portions joining the arcuate line and respectively the first and the second line;
- heating the plate to soften the plate;
- forming the plate in a mold by thermomolding to raise the convex limit at the at least one corner and the edges of the plate extending from said corner, in particular from the recess portions, the junction between a central portion of the plate, forming a bottom, and each raised edge being curved to form a curved junction part;
- and
- joining raised edges at each corner.
3 more elements
A shower tray in thermoplastic material, comprising:
- a bottom;
- raised edges along the bottom and extending from at least one corner of the bottom, the junction between the bottom and each raised edge being curved to form curved junction parts;
- and
- a bonded junction at the corner between the raised edges.
1 more element
A shower cubicle in thermoplastic material, comprising:
- a bottom;
- raised edges along the bottom and extending from at least one corner of the bottom, the junction between the bottom and each raised edge being curved to form curved junction parts;
- a bonded junction at corner between raised edges;
- and
- at least a first panel raised in prolongation of one of the raised edges.
