Clamping clip for shower enclosures

The invention relates to an adjustable and lockable clamp fitting for shower enclosures in sanitary area according to the preamble of the independent claims.

In particular, the invention relates to such a clamp fitting both for a frameless and for a frame-guided attachment of such glass in the sanitary area.

For simplicity, in the following description, only the frameless attachment of a glass sheet is described with the clamping fitting according to the invention. However, the invention is not limited to this, because the clamping fitting can also be part of a frame holder, which in turn receives the glass pane.

Thus, if in the following description only the clamp fitting is described, this is not to be understood as limiting the scope of the invention.

It is known to attach such clamp fittings for the frameless mounting of glass panes in such a manner on a wall surface, that the wall-side plate of the clamping impact is provided with approximately slot-shaped recesses through which pass through corresponding fastening screws. These fastening screws are anchored in the wall surface with known dowel joints.

Disadvantage of this conventional slot fastening technology, however, is that when mounting a bad hole in the wall, there are only small compensation options in the field of clamping impact. It can therefore only be moved in the area of the slot-shaped opening in order to • ♦ ♦ · * «····

Here it was often necessary that you had to close this with a hardenable mass when mounting a faulty hole, and then attach a further bore at a small millimeter distance. It is obvious that the second correction hole is then no longer as strong as the former bore, because the holes in the worst case merge into each other, so that overall the attachment is weakened in the wall surface.

This naturally increases the assembly effort. Another disadvantage of the known assembly technique is that they can not be performed by a single person in the rule, because usually a first person mounting the glass to hold has to hold, while a second assembler tries to the wall-side bracket with the

Make mounting screws and the arranged there clamping fitting.

It has been helped by the fact that you created a certain adjustment in the holder of the glass plate on the terminal fitting.

This adjustment was designed to be adjustable and lockable in mutually perpendicular directions. Disadvantage of this known mounting on the glass plate side, however, was that the adjustment turned into each other, so that when loosening the locking screw in the area of this attachment the glass plate accidentally slipped inwardly and even - by gravity - could strike with high force on an edge of the shower tray and this was damaged.

Moreover, it was known, instead of the previously described, arranged in the wall-side plate of the clamping slot elongated hole, a corresponding compensation in the region of the clamping bracket of the glass plate to • 4 • «· 4 • · · · ·. Here then different spacers or plates were inserted between the clamping surfaces of the clamping impact on the glass side, so as to achieve a certain balance in Tiefeneinstellrichtung.

In general, therefore, it can be stated that only in the area of clamp fittings for shower enclosures is a depth adjustment capability known via the arrangement of oblong holes whose longitudinal axis is aligned in the depth setting direction. A height adjustment, however, was previously unknown.

The invention is therefore the object of developing an adjustable clamp fitting for shower enclosures of the type mentioned so that in addition to a depth adjustment and height adjustment is possible. In general, therefore, the invention is based on the object, at least the wall-side attachment of the clamping impact in such a way that the clamping fitting is adjustable and lockable in two mutually independent, mutually perpendicular, adjustment directions.

The object is achieved by the technical teaching of the independent claims.

An essential feature here is that the wall-side fitting elements include at least one wall holder, which is fixed to the wall surface by means of at least its fastening element and at least one connectable with the wall holder adjustment plate, which establishes the connection to the fitting element on the part of the shower enclosures, wherein the adjustment plate relative to Wall holder depth and height adjustable, and lockable is designed.

With the given technical teaching, there is the significant advantage that now the wall-side attachment of the clamping impact on a wall surface in two independently adjustable directions is adjustable and determinable.This has the advantage that when a setting direction is changed, This, for example, has the essential advantage of being adjusted in the depth setting direction, that is to say, parallel to the floor surface, so that the height adjustment direction remains uninfluenced by this Clamp fitting can be mounted by a single person, because the person can either adjust only one or the other adjustment direction, and be sure that the other direction of adjustment is unaffected.

This is particularly associated with the advantage that just when changing the Tiefeneinstellrichtung not the risk that the glass plate is unintentionally adjusted in height, creating the risk that this gravitational falls down and is damaged on a floor near the edge.

In the slot adjustment according to the prior art, a depth adjustment was also possible, but lacked the height adjustment. The height adjustment was just possible in the prior art just by the interposition of corresponding spacers or plates in the glass bracket or it had to be completely re-drilled, which was associated with considerable workload. Likewise, in a known manner also for height adjustment, the bore in the glass in comparison to the bolt passing through the screw be formed so that there was also a corresponding Höheneinstellspiel.

However, this was - as already mentioned - associated with the disadvantage that when adjusting in one direction and unintentionally made the adjustment in the other direction.

The core of the invention is thus that the wall-side bracket of the clamping impact is adjustable and lockable in two directions which may be perpendicular to each other.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that this wall-side bracket essentially consists of a wall mountable on the wall mount wall holder, and the Tiefeneinstellrichtung has at least one parallel to the wall surface extending guide groove, from where in this guide groove arranged on the wall-side adjustment plate adjusting screw engages and that the wall holder engages with play in an associated insertion opening in the adjustment plate of the clamping impact.

Thus, with the given technical teaching, the advantage is achieved that at least in the wall-side adjustment plate of the clamping a set in Höheneinstellrichtung screw is arranged, which engages in the, pointing in Tiefeneinstellrichtung, guide groove of the wall holder and there formed detectable and displaceable.

The adjusting screw thus forms the sliding guide for the wall holder in said Einstellöffnung.

Here, it is preferred if instead of the one adjusting screw two opposing screws are present, because these screws can be adjusted against each other and can be fixed against each other, so that with this possibility of the wall bracket after the appropriate adjustment and shift in Tiefeneinstellrichtung in the adjustment of Adjustment plate can be fixed.

Instead of fixing the wall holder with opposing screws and other fastening measures can be used. t • · ·

Instead of adjusting screws used in threaded holes, which are directed against each other, of course, against each other directed Exzentereinstellvorrichtungen can be used, which can be clamped against each other via a corresponding eccentric.

Thus, with the present invention, each clamping device is claimed as being inventive, which is suitable for displacing and fixing the wall holder in an adjusting opening in the adjusting plate depth setting direction.

In order to enable protection against falling off of the adjusting plate of the wall holder, it is preferred if the opposing guide grooves are undercut in the wall holder, that the screws engage in these grooves and thus when loosening the screws free displacement in Tiefeneinstellrichtung is possible without There is the danger that the adjustment plate of the clamping impact falls off the wall holder.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the wall holder is not firmly fixed in only one position on the wall surface, but in turn is adjustable and displaceable or at least rotatable.

It can be provided for displacing the wall holder corresponding slots in the wall bracket that can move this wall bracket in one or more mutually perpendicular directions.

Likewise, it can be provided that only in the presence of a single mounting hole of the wall holder is mounted in a certain manner rotatable and fixable on the wall surface. In this way, even a wall-side tilt adjustment of the wall bracket is given. * · * ··· ···· • * · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · «t

In another embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the concave in the wall holder extending guide grooves omitted and instead consist of convex, projecting up and down approaches. The screws then engage behind these approaches.

Likewise, it can also be provided, instead of the concave, extending into the body of the wall holder guide grooves form alternative guide grooves, which are formed on guide lugs, which are placed on the wall holder. The adjusting screw then surrounds this guide groove with a corresponding guide recess.

In summary, it is thus stated that, according to the idea of the present invention, a wall-side fastening, adjustable in two mutually perpendicular directions, of its clamping impact of a shower enclosure in general form is claimed.

It is also claimed in a general form and regardless of the first, wall-side mounting and a glass plate-side mounting, which is designed to be adjustable and lockable at least in a transverse adjustment.

This transverse adjustment direction is thus a third axis, which is perpendicular to the aforementioned two axes.

Thus, if one mentions the previously mentioned depth adjustment direction and height adjustment direction with the X and Y axes, the transverse adjustment direction according to the invention arranged on the glass plate side would be the adjustment and determination in the Z axis.

This adjustment is claimed separately from the aforementioned adjustment on the wall side; but it is also claimed in combination with the wall-side fastening also. • * 4 • 4 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ «*« • * * * * «··· • * ··· _ ··· · ·· * · y

An essential feature of the adjustability of the glass pane on the glass side fastening of the clamping impact is that on the glass plate side side of the clamping impact, a glass plate by cross-guiding element is present on the front plate, which also passes through a guide ring which is inserted flush in the glass plate-side recess.

The guide ring has parallel to the transverse adjustment direction extending guide surfaces, which cooperate with the arranged on the clamping fitting side guide element guide lugs.

Thus, this results in a clamping attachment of the glass between two plates of the clamping impact on the glass side, because the entire fastening and adjusting is penetrated by a clamping screw which engages on the, laying on the back of the glass plate, rear plate.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to only one of an execution path representative drawings. Here are the drawings and their description further features and advantages of the invention.

Status.

The clamping fitting 3 according to the invention serves for fastening a glass pane 1 to a wall surface 2.

For this purpose, the clamping fitting 3 consists of a wall side arranged, and in two mutually perpendicular directions 14, 15 adjustable and lockable adjustment plate 5, which is fixedly connected in the embodiment shown with an angle thereto arranged front plate 7.

However, the invention is not limited thereto. It can be provided that the wall-side part of the clamping abutment 3 is connected via a hinge or hinge connection with the glass-side attachment, wherein the front plate 7 of the glass-side attachment is still connected to a back plate 8.

Likewise, it is not necessary for the solution that the two parts (5 and 7, 8) are at right angles to each other; they can be formed lockable to each other in any angular position or adjustable.

The wall-side attachment of the adjusting plate 5 takes place in the region of its wall holder 6, which is fastened in the embodiment shown by means of fastening screws 13 on the wall surface 2. •

It has already been pointed out in the general part that the invention is not limited to fastening by means of two fastening screws 13. There may be only a single fixing screw 13, which allows a certain inclination or rotation of the wall holder 6 on the wall surface 2, or adjusting screws allowing inclination adjustment may also be present.

The arranged on the glass sheet 1 parts of the clamping fin 3 are generally referred to as glass clamping plate 4 and consist - as stated -aus a front plate 7 and a rear plate of the glass pane 1 applied back plate 8th

According to the illustration in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wall holder 6 has guide grooves 17 running parallel in depth adjustment directions 14, which guide grooves 17 are formed in the wall holder 6 at the top and bottom.

In these guide grooves engage - in the assembled state - corresponding opposing screws 9, which are introduced into mutually associated and generally aligned with each other arranged threaded holes 11 in the region of the adjusting plate 5.

In this case, the wall holder 6 engages in a correspondingly larger adjustment opening 12 in the adjustment plate 5, so that it is held therein before the clamping by means of the adjusting screws 9 with a relatively large game. This game results in both Tiefeneinstellrichtungen 14 and in Höheneinstellrichtungen 15th

If now in the assembled state according to Figures 2 and 3, the screws 9 engage in the associated guide grooves 17 of the wall holder 6, resulting - with partially dissolved screws 9 - the possibility, now the entire adjustment plate 5 freely in Tiefeneinstellrichtungen 14 on the wall bracket 6 move. • * * * · «« * * * * * V ···· 4 9 9 * · · · ····· "* Ί2 ...... * '

It is important that the height adjustment in the direction of arrows 15 is not affected, because gravity, the upper screw 9 always remains in this selected position and therefore an undesirable lowering of the glass pane 1 in the direction of arrow 15 down below.

For example, if the depth adjustment found in the direction of arrow 14, the height adjustment can be done in arrow directions 15. For this purpose, the upper adjusting screw 9 is more or less rotated in its threaded bore 11, so that a corresponding displacement of the wall holder 6 in the region of the insertion opening 12 in the direction of arrows 15 takes place.

After adjustment in height, the lower screw 9 is fixed and thus a proper, clamping fixing is given both in the direction of arrows 14 and in arrow directions 15.

It can be provided that the set screws designed as setscrews 9 are covered from above by a cover 10 which is placed sealingly on the mouth of the threaded bore 11.

The glass-side fastening, which according to the invention enables a setting in transverse adjustment directions 21, is formed according to FIGS. 4 to 6 as follows:

On the side facing the glass plate 1 side of the front plate 7 of the clamping shank 3 in this case two opposing and symmetrically arranged guide projections 26 are integrally formed on a guide element 25.

This guide element 25 may in this case be material integral with the material of the front plate 7, or it may also be connected as a separate part in any desired manner with the front plate 7. • * * * · · * * * «• · ·« ···· «* φ • · * ♦ ···« # '* ** f3 ........

The two guide lugs 26 form a recess 29 between them.

On the guide lugs 26, a guide ring 20 is now attached, which in turn engages flush with its outer periphery in the recess 19 in the glass plate 1 and is held there with little play.

It is important that in the region of the guide ring 20 now opposite guide surfaces 23 are formed, which allow adjustment and adjustment of the guide lugs 26 of the guide element 25 in the region of the guide recess 22 in the guide ring 20.

The guide lugs 26 should therefore be adjustable and lockable only in the direction of arrows 21 (transverse adjustment), but not in vertical directions for this purpose.

For this reason, the guide recess 22 is formed approximately rectangular, so that therefore the guide surfaces 23 in the region of the guide ring 20 both above and below each overlap the guide lugs 26 in the guide member 25 and lead.

The entire assembly is held together by a clamping screw 18 which engages with its bolt-side end of the guide member 25 and the guide ring 20 and engages an associated threaded receptacle 27 in the region of its guide projection 28 of the back plate 8 and is screwed there.

It is important that the guide projection 28 now flush and only with little play in the recess 29 of the guide member 25 engages, so that thus the back plate 8 is secured against rotation on the front plate 7. • · · «*,,,,,,, 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 *

The width of the guide projection 28 in the direction of arrow 21 corresponds approximately to the width of the guide lugs 26. This ensures that the two plates 7, 8 are firmly connected to each other, while the guide ring 20 freely displaceable together with the glass plate 1 on this transverse adjustment guide in the direction of arrow 21 and is detectable. With the setting of the clamping screw 28 so that the connection is fixed.

It is important that the glass sheet 1 can not fall as long as the clamping screw 18 engages in the threaded receptacle 27 even in the relaxed state. The glass sheet 1 can therefore be held and guided by a single person and at the same time in this case the clamping screw 18 can be actuated.

In this way, it is ensured that both the wall side, as well as the glass side of a single person in mutually perpendicular directions are separately adjustable and detectable.

It should also be mentioned that in the area of the guide ring 20 for end limiting in the direction of arrows 21 corresponding exemptions 24 are arranged, which attach to the guide surfaces 23 to allow a large adjustment of the guide ring 20 on the guide member 25 in the direction of arrows 21.

It is indicated in the drawing of Figure 2 only that between the plates 7, 8 corresponding rubber seals 16 can be arranged, which are arranged both on the front, as well as on the back of the glass plate 1 and this glass sheet elastic between the plates. 7 , 8 clamped.

The invention thus relates in summary to an adjustable and lockable clamp fitting for shower enclosures in the sanitary area for setting and fixing shower enclosures on a wall surface, wherein the clamp fitting wall-side fitting elements and • ················································································································. 5 comprises fitting elements on the part of the shower enclosures and the wall-side fitting elements are formed depth and height adjustable and lockable to the wall surface, wherein the wall-side fitting elements include at least one wall holder, which on the wall surface by means of at least its fastening element can be fixed and includes at least one connectable to the wall holder adjustment plate, which establishes the connection to the fitting element on the part of the shower enclosures, wherein the adjustment plate is formed relative to the wall holder depth and height adjustable and lockable. 15 Furthermore, it is provided that the fitting elements are formed on the side of the shower enclosure to this depth adjustable at least in one plane.

Advantage of the invention is a clamping clamp that a setting direction 20 can be changed without affecting the other direction of adjustment, so that such a shower enclosure with inventive clamping fitting can be easily and conveniently mounted by a single person. • 16 '• 16' Drawing end 1 Glass pane 2 Wall surface 3 Clamp fitting 4 Glass clamping plate 5 Adjusting plate 6 Wall holder 7 Front plate 8 Rear plate 9 Adjusting screw 10 Cover 11 Threaded hole 12 Adjustment opening 13 Fixing screw 14 Depth adjustment 15 Height adjustment 16 Rubber seal 17 Guide groove 18 Clamping screw 19 Recess 20 Guide ring 21 Transverse directions 22 Guide recess 23 Guide surface 24 Exemption 25 Guide element 26 Guide projection 27 Thread holder 28 Guide projection 29 recess
