Abstract: A shower cabinet having an entrance opening which is at least partially closed by a pivotable screen (6) made of a relatively rigid material, e.g. toughened glass. The invention deals with the problem of providing a shower cabinet that is equipped with auxiliary devices for assisting handicapped persons without detracting from the use of the cabinet as a conventional shower cabinet. This is achieved in accordance with the invention in that the screen (6) includes a stiffening or reinforcement strip (7) which is arranged along the vertical center line of the screen and the respective ends of which strip are journalled for rotation in the bottom part and the top part of that cabinet wall (2) which includes the entrance opening, and in that a raisable and lowerable seat (8) is pivotally mounted on the strip.

Abstract: A shower partition comprising a door (2) which serves to close or open an entry opening into a shower basin (4) and which is preferably configured as a pivotable wing. The door (2) is advantageously produced in a deep drawing process and has a circumferential recess (26) on its front surface adjacent the outer edges. A preferably tubular frame (28) is associated with the recess and spaced from the front surface of the door (2). The resulting structure has good stability and simultaneously achieves good sealing of the entry opening with a door of low weight. A trough (77) on the back of the door sloping downwardly toward the hinged door edge conveys water running down the rear side of the door back into the shower basin when the door is opened.
