Abstract
The invention describes a set of a shelf and a holder of the shelf for bath/shower screens. The shelf and the holder are provided with a means for magnetic attachment of the shelf to the holder which comprises at least one pair of oppositely arranged holding segments. One holding segment is arranged in the shelf and the other holding segment is arranged in the holder, of which at least one holding segment being a permanent magnet. The shelf and the holder are designed as separate bodies adapted for opposite, mutual removable attachment on both sides of the bath/shower screen by means of oppositely arranged holding segments placed in the shelf and the holder by means of magnetic force. The main advantage of the two separate shelf and holder bodies is the possibility to separate the shelf from the holder and the bath/shower screen at any time and clean it, replace it with another one or move it to another part of the bath/shower screen.

EXAMPLE OF THE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Example 1
[0024] A set 1 of a shelf 2 and a holder 3 for a bath/shower screen 4 according to this invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. 1 shows a shelf 2 with a length of 300 mm, a height of 80 mm and a depth of 90 mm, meaning the storage space of the shelf 2. The shelf 2 is made of high-strength plastic. The body of the shelf 2 comprises a storage board formed in a T-shape, where one board forms the storage space of the shelf 2 and the other perpendicular board forms the mounting space of the shelf 2. In this part of the shelf 2, three circular recesses Z with a diameter of 70 mm are formed for the means 5 for magnetic attachment of the shelf 2 to the holder 3. In this embodiment, the holding segments 6, which are neodymium permanent magnets, are attached to the recesses 7 by being glued into the recesses 7.
[0025] FIG. 1 further shows the holder 3, the body of which is formed as a rectangular board of high-strength plastic with a length of 300 mm and a height of 80 mm. Three circular recesses Z with a diameter of 70 mm are formed on one side of the holder 3. In this embodiment, three holding segments 6, which are neodymium permanent magnets, are attached to the recesses 7 by being glued into the recesses 7. When the separate bodies of the shelf 2 and the holder 3 are brought together, a magnetic force is applied between the magnets in the shelf 2 and the holder 3 to form the set 1 of the shelf 2 and the holder 3. When the bodies of the shelf 2 and holder 3 are brought together from the outside and inside of the bath/shower screen 4, the bath/shower screen 4 is formed with the above-described set 1 of the shelf 2 and holder 3 shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 3 shows various bathroom accessories in the form of bottles such as shower gel, soap in a dispenser or conditioner, which are placed on the shelf 2, which is part of the above-described set 1 and attached to the bath/shower screen 4.
Example 2
[0026] FIG. 4 shows a shelf 2 with a length of 400 mm, a height of 80 mm and a depth of 90 mm, meaning the storage space of the shelf 2. The shelf 2 is made of aluminium sheet and formed by bending. The body of the shelf 2 comprises a storage board formed in a U-shape, where one board forms the storage space of the shelf and the other perpendicular board forms the mounting space. In the mounting part of the shelf 2, means 5 for magnetic attachment of the shelf 2 to the holder 3 are mounted, which are formed by four pairs of holding segments 6, which in this embodiment are screwed neodymium permanent magnets with a diameter of 70 mm.
[0027] FIG. 4 further shows the holder 3, the body of which is formed as a rectangular board of aluminium sheet with a length of 400 mm and a height of 80 mm. On one side of the holder 3, four holding segments 6 are glued, which in this example are made of ferromagnetic metal, specifically iron. When the separate bodies of the shelf 2 and the holder 3 are brought together, a magnetic force is applied between the magnet in the shelf 2 and the holding segment 6 of iron in the holder 3 to form the set 1 of the shelf 2 and the holder 3. When the bodies of the shelf 2 and holder 3 are brought together from the outside and inside of the bath/shower screen 4, the bath/shower screen 4 is formed with the above-described set 1 of the shelf 2 and holder 3 shown in FIG. 5.
Example 3
[0028] In this example, FIG. 6 shows a shelf 2 with a length of 500 mm, a height of 80 mm and a depth of 90 mm, which refers to the storage space of the shelf 2 that is divided into two parts, one of which is formed with a length of 296 mm and is used for storing bathroom accessories as in Example 1 and the other part is formed with a length of 192 mm for storing bar soap as in Example 2. The shelf 2 is again made of high-strength plastic and is formed in the same way as the smaller shelf 2 described above in Example 1. As can be seen in FIG. 6, an elongated hole is formed in the second part of the shelf 2 for removing water from the bar soap after use. In the mounting part of the shelf 2, five circular recesses Z with a diameter of 70 mm are formed for the means 5 for magnetic attachment of the shelf 2 to the holder 3. Five holding segments 6 made of ferromagnetic metal, specifically cobalt, are glued into these recesses 7. In another embodiment, another ferromagnetic metal or alloy of these metals may be used for the holding segment 6.
[0029] FIG. 6 further shows the holder 3, the body of which is formed as a rectangular board of high-strength plastic with a length of 500 mm and a height of 80 mm. Five circular recesses Z with a diameter of 70 mm are formed on one side of the holder 3. Five holding segments 6 of a neodymium permanent magnet are glued into these recesses 7. When the separate bodies of the shelf 2 and the holder 3 are brought together, a magnetic force is applied between the holding segment 6 of cobalt in the shelf 2 and the magnet in the holder 3 to form the set 1 of the shelf 2 and the holder 3. When the bodies of the shelf 2 and holder 3 are brought together from the outside and inside of the bath/shower screen 4, the bath/shower screen 4 is formed with the above-described set 1 of the shelf 2 and holder 3 shown in FIG. 7.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[0030] The shelf and holder set for bath/shower screens and the bath/shower screen with this set according to this invention can be used in any bathroom with the bath/shower screen as the storage space that is also a design complement.
