Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a side view of a shower device 1. Shower device 1 comprises a nozzle rod 3, to which a first shower head 2 according to the overhead shower type and a second shower head 16 according to the handheld shower type are fixed. Both sanitary spray heads 2, 16 serve to output a not shown liquid for a human shower. For this purpose, the first shower head 2 is connected in a fluid-conducting manner via a head rod 3 and the second shower head 16 via a shower hose 17 (only partially shown) to a sanitary fitting 18, by means of which cold water and hot water can be mixed to form mixed water having a desired mixed water temperature. The shower device 1 has a fastening element 4, by means of which the spray head rod 3 is fastened to the support 5. Here, the support 5 is a building wall.

Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the fastening element 4. The fastening element 4 has a receptacle 7 for the spray head rod 3 shown in fig. 1. The receiving means 7 is designed here in the form of a through-hole which extends through the cover sleeve 19 and the functional part 13 of the fastening element 4. The receiving portion 7 has a central axis 29. The functional part 13 is tubular in configuration and extends along a longitudinal axis 20. At the longitudinal side end 21 of the functional part 13, the rotary handle 6 is connected to the functional part 13 by means of a first thread 10. The rotary handle 6 can be rotated about a rotational axis 22, which extends coaxially with the longitudinal axis 20, between a locking position and a release position. By turning the rotary handle 6 into the closed position, the clamping element 8 with the rotary handle 6 is displaced in the direction of the receptacle 7, so that the spray head wand 3 shown in fig. 1 is clamped securely in the receptacle 7. For this purpose, the clamping element 8 is connected to the rotary handle 6 by means of a plug connection 9. By rotating the rotary handle 6 to the release position, the clamping member 8 is moved away from the receiving portion 7 together with the rotary handle 6, thereby releasing the head rod 3 in the receiving portion 7. The fixing element 4 can thus be adjusted to the desired position along the spray head rod 3 and can be fixed there again by turning the rotary handle 6 into the locking position.

The functional part 13 is connected to the wall element 14 by means of a second thread 23. The wall element 14 comprises a disk-shaped section 25 which is oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis 20 and with which the fastening element 4 can be fastened to the support 5 shown in fig. 1. For this purpose, the disk-shaped section 25 has an opening 26 for a screw, not shown here. The cover 24 is fastened to the circumferential surface 27 of the disk section 25 by means of a third thread 28, which covers the disk section 25 in the assembled state of the fastening element 4. The wall element 14 can be screwed into the functional part or out of the functional part 13 about the axis of rotation 22 by means of the second thread 23, so that the length 12 of the fastening element 4 can be adjusted. The length 12 is measured from a fastening side 30, with which the fastening element 4 can be fastened to the support 5 shown in fig. 1, up to the center axis 29 of the receptacle 7. If the desired length 12 is reached, the union nut 15 on the second thread 23 can be screwed onto the functional part 13, so that the wall element 14 and the functional part 13 are connected to one another without play. By varying the length 12 of the fixing element 4, it is possible to set the spacing between the spray head wand 3 (the spray head wand longitudinal axis) and the support 5 shown in fig. 1 or the spacing 11 between the central axis 29 of the receptacle 7 of the fixing element 4 and the support 5.

By means of the invention, the fixing element can be adjusted along the spray head rod with low installation effort.
