Abstract: A shower-partition contains a pivoted door which is hinged to a compensating section by means of hinges. The compensating section is secured, in such a manner as to be horizontally adjustable, to a second profiled rail by means of connecting elements. It is proposed to make it possible to align the pivoted door both horizontally and vertically in a simple manner, with little increase in production costs. The compensating section shall comprise an open longitudinal groove which faces the pivoted door and comprises an undercut for attachment of the hinge-holders. The compensating section is adapted to be aligned vertically, jointly with the pivoted door, in relation to the second profiled rail, the compensating section and/or the holder of the lower hinge being mounted upon the floor or the upper edge of a shower-tub.

Abstract: A partition, more particularly for a corner shower, contains two door-elements mounted displaceably in an upper guide-rail. In the vicinity of the entrance, the upper guide-rail is curved like the edge of the tub and is connected to two lateral wall elements which are secured to the room and are flat. The purpose of the invention is to achieve reliable sealing and equally reliable guidance combined with a simple design. It is proposed that the guide-rail be curved over its entire length and comprise curved end-parts behind the flat wall-element. No lower guide-rail is provided. Instead, small narrow guide-elements are located outside the entrance.

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.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing multilayer panels. In the method for producing multilayer panels from extrudable plastic, two plastic strips are fed from extruders to a roll-arrangement and are joined together, with an inclusion of material therebetween. The purpose of the invention is to produce predeterminable patterns and structures upon introducing the material. In order to achieve this result, the material in the form of threads, is introduced individually and independently of each other into a gap in an arrangement of rolls, and the threads are aligned, by means of guide-means, in relation to each other and to the gap.

Abstract: An information device is provided with a storage unit for storing information, with an input element comprising keys, with a memory including a plurality of memory locations, with a computer, and with a unit connected to the storage unit to display the information stored therein. Command sequences which can predetermined are stored in the memory locations in the form of status blocks, the computer having access to the command sequence in each status block. Memory locations in the respective status blocks are associated with the keys so that when one of the keys is actuated, the associated memory location in the status block actually called up by the computer is activated to release an address signal which is used by the computer to control release of information from the storage unit, which released information is displayed through the display unit. The information stored in the storage unit may be used for sales promotion, and may contain details about a product or the like.
