Description

Sanitary wall support device

Technical Field

The invention relates to a sanitary wall support device having: a wall-mountable pole support unit; a wall lever swingably held at the lever bracket unit about a swing axis parallel to the lever longitudinal axis; and a sanitary article holding means which is longitudinally displaceably and removably held at the wall bar.

Background

Wall support devices of this type are used for holding a wall bar pivotably at a wall by means of their bar carrier unit and for holding sanitary products, such as hand shower (sometimes also referred to as hand shower), head shower or side shower or soap dispenser, at the wall bar by means of their sanitary product holding means, for example in a shower or bath. In the case of a sprinkler bracket, the wall bar is often also referred to as a sprinkler bar. The sanitary product holder means can be displaced along the wall bar. In many applications, the wall bar is held vertically at the wall, so that the sanitary product holder means can be moved up and down at the wall bar and is thus height-adjustable.

In the case of the front wall bar being held pivotably, whereas in the case of conventional sanitary wall support devices, the wall bar is held at the wall in a rotationally fixed manner directly or via a wall-mountable bar carrier unit. Typical such sanitary wall support devices are disclosed, for example, in publications D10260207A1, WO2005/068731, WO2010/026359A1, DE19649005A1, WO2015/081733A1, EP2642033A1 and CN1091623211 a.

In the case of maintenance or cleaning, at least part of the wall bar and bar support unit must often be removed in order to remove the sanitary product holder means, or the sanitary product holder means must be released from the wall bar relatively laboriously and with poor accessibility to the respective connection piece.

Sanitary wall support devices of the initially mentioned type are known from publication EP1712688 A2. The wall support device there has a lower wall-mountable wall bracket element and an upper wall-mountable wall bracket element as a rod bracket unit and a related pendulum bearing unit, each having a pin element and a pin receptacle for swingably holding the wall rod depending on the type of door suspension. The wall bar can be suspended into the wall bracket element in the installed position. After pivoting out of the mounting position, the wall bar is stopped against removal from the wall bracket element.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary wall support device which offers advantages over the prior art mentioned above, in particular with regard to functionality, structure, operating comfort and/or maintenance outlay, and in particular with regard to the mounting and dismounting of sanitary article holders at or from the wall bar.

The present invention solves this problem by providing a sanitary wall support device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments and/or embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims, which are hereby incorporated by reference into the description. This also includes, in particular, all embodiments of the invention resulting from the combination of features defined by the reverse reference in the dependent claims.

In the case of the sanitary wall support device according to the invention, the wall bar has a longitudinally extending guide slot in which the sanitary product holder is guided. The wall lever is pivotable between an operating position and a service position. The operating position of the wall bar may also be referred to as the home or zero position. The sanitary product holder means can be guided out of the guide channel for removal, i.e. detachment, from the wall bar. Conversely, the sanitary product holder can be mounted at the wall bar by being introduced into the guide channel. Furthermore, a stop mechanism is provided, which in the released state releases the guide out of the sanitary product holder when the wall lever is in the service position and in the blocked state stops the sanitary product holder from being guided out of the guide slot when the wall lever is in the operating position.

The wall support device according to the invention provides a simple solution for quick and easy detachment of the sanitary product holder means from the wall bar in the case of maintenance or cleaning. The mounting and dismounting of the sanitary product holder means can be achieved in this case with relatively few operations by simply pivoting the wall bar from the operating position into the maintenance position, without the wall bar having to be removed from the bar carrier unit. By pivoting the wall bar, it is also possible to make it easy to access the sanitary product holder means for mounting/dismounting purposes, if desired.

In the ready-to-run installed state of the wall support device, the rod support is preferably fixedly mounted at a wall, such as a wall of a bathroom or shower. In a functionally and structurally advantageous embodiment, the maintenance position of the wall lever is pivoted, for example, by 60 ° or more, in particular by substantially 90 °, relative to the zero position of the wall lever. The wall support device can be preferably configured such that the pivoting of the wall lever is limited to a certain angular range, for example to an angular range between 0 ° and 90 ° or between 0 ° and 180 ° or between 0 ° and 270 °, wherein in extreme cases an angular-free pivoting movement of the wall lever can also be provided.

In a development of the invention, the pole support unit has two spaced apart pole supports that can be mounted on a wall. The wall lever is mounted with its first of its two end faces on the first of the two lever brackets in a pivotable manner. The sanitary product holder means can preferably be guided out at the end region of the wall bar facing the first bar support. This represents a structurally and functionally advantageous realization for the extraction of the sanitary product holder from the guide channel. The wall bar is supported with its two end sides between the two bar carriers in a pivotable manner, so that the wall bar has a length which corresponds to approximately the distance between the two bar carriers. In alternative implementations, the pole support unit may have only one or more than two wall-mountable pole supports.

In one embodiment of the invention, the guide channel has an outlet opening for the outlet of the sanitary product holder at least in the end region of the wall lever facing the first lever bracket. This also presents a structurally and functionally advantageous realization for the extraction of the sanitary product holder means from the guide channel. In a functionally and structurally advantageous embodiment, the guide groove extends to the end face of the wall bar facing the first bar support, so that the sanitary product holder can be removed from the wall bar at this end face. The guide groove can particularly advantageously extend continuously to both end sides of the wall bar. This enables, on the one hand, the longitudinal displaceability of the sanitary product holder means over substantially the entire length of the wall bar and, on the other hand, enables the sanitary product holder means to be removed on both end sides of the wall bar, if desired. Alternatively, the outlet opening may be configured at a radial circumferential side of the end region of the wall bar. In an alternative embodiment, the outlet opening for the outlet of the sanitary product holder from the guide channel can be formed in the middle region of the wall bar between the two bar carriers.

In a development of the invention, the locking mechanism comprises an end stop which is inserted releasably into the guide slot in the blocked state of the locking mechanism and the longitudinal movement of the sanitary product holder in the guide slot is limited. Furthermore, when the wall lever is in the maintenance position, the end stop is accessible for removal of the guide slot. The end stop not only limits the longitudinal movement of the sanitary product holder in the guide slot, but preferably also prevents the sanitary product holder from being guided out of the guide slot. This means that the locking mechanism remains in the blocked state by the inserted end stop even when the wall lever is pivoted from the operating position into the service position, and the sanitary product holder cannot be removed from the wall lever. The sanitary product holder can only be pulled out of the guide channel by releasing and removing the end stop from the guide channel. The end stop can be guided out of the guide groove in a similar manner to a sanitary product holder. Depending on the implementation, it may be provided that the end stop can only be pulled out of the guide groove when the wall lever is in the maintenance position, or that the end stop can only be pulled out of the guide groove when the wall lever is in the operating position. The advantage of this embodiment can be that the wall support device, in particular also in the maintenance position, continues to stop the sanitary product holder against removal from the wall lever in a position pivoted relative to the zero position of the wall lever and thus enables normal operation also in this position.

In an alternative development of the invention, the locking mechanism comprises a blocking region of the lever support unit, which, when the wall lever is in the maintenance position, releases the guide slot for the removal of the sanitary product holder means, and when the wall lever is in the operating position, blocks the guide slot against removal of the sanitary product holder means. The rod support unit can act as an end stop, wherein the stop mechanism is in a pivoted position of the wall rod in the blocked state, which is different from the maintenance position, and stops the sanitary product holder against removal from the guide channel. The blocking area of the rod cradle unit is preferably formed by the side of the rod cradle unit facing the wall rod. Only if the wall lever reaches the maintenance position, the stop mechanism is in its released state and the release guide slot is used for the extraction of the sanitary product holder means. The advantage of this embodiment may be that the sanitary product holder means can be removed from the wall bar without tools only by pivoting the wall bar into the service position.

In a development of the invention, the wall bar has a substantially polygonal cross section. This represents an advantageous realization of the wall lever in terms of structure and function, in particular its pivotability between an operating position and a maintenance position. For example, a rectangular cross-section of the wall bar may be particularly advantageous. Hereby it is achieved that the swing position of the wall bar can be identified quickly and easily. In alternative embodiments, the wall bar may have a circular or oval cross section, for example.

In a development of the invention, the guide groove faces the wall in the operating position of the wall lever. In this case, the guide groove can preferably face the wall in the operating position when the wall support device is mounted on the wall. An advantage of this embodiment may be that the guide groove is not normally visible to the user in the operating position.

In a development of the invention, the wall lever is held on the lever carrier unit via a latching mechanism which provides a plurality of latching positions for the pivoting movement of the wall lever, wherein the operating position and the service position each form one of the latching positions. It is thereby possible for the wall lever to remain in the desired default position, in particular the operating position or the service position, as a function of the latching position, and for the operating position and the service position to be set in a functionally reliable manner in particular. The locking mechanism thus locks the pivoted position of the wall lever relative to the lever support unit, by which the wall lever can be moved out of the pivoted position only with the required release force. This prevents the wall lever from being pivoted unintentionally from the associated pivoted position, but it is achieved for the user to pivot the wall lever, if required, against the release force, relative to the lever bracket unit, for example in order to pivot the wall lever from the operating position into the service position or vice versa.

In a functionally and structurally advantageous embodiment, the latching mechanism has more than two latching positions. The locking mechanism preferably has at least one further locking position between the operating position and the maintenance position of the wall lever. This may preferably be an additional operating position and/or maintenance position of the wall bar. In an alternative embodiment, no locking is required for the pivoting position of the wall lever relative to the lever support unit, and instead, for example, a position-locking clamp can be provided, by means of which the wall lever is held in a releasable manner in its respective pivoting position relative to the lever support unit. The latter allows the rocking position of the wall bar to be adjusted steplessly if required.

In a development of the invention, the sanitary product holder has a slide movably arranged in the guide channel and a holder body connected thereto for receiving a sanitary product. This presents a structurally and functionally advantageous realization of the sanitary product holder means. The retaining body is preferably releasably connected to the slide. The latter enables the replacement of the holder according to the sanitary products provided, without the need to remove the slider from the wall bar. In an alternative embodiment, the slider and the holding body are constructed in one piece.

In one embodiment of the invention, the guide groove has a groove cross section which comprises at least two guide grooves extending transversely spaced apart on one of the two opposite groove sides and at least one guide groove on the other groove side. The slide has on two slide sides facing away from each other guides which engage into the guide grooves and have a contour corresponding to the contour of the guide grooves, wherein the guides slide or roll along the guide grooves. This presents a structurally and functionally advantageous realization of the guiding feature between the slider and the guide slot. In a functionally and structurally advantageous embodiment, the guide groove and the guide have a circular, in particular semicircular, contour. In an alternative embodiment, the guide groove has a substantially planar face or groove side or only one guide groove.

In a development of the invention, the sanitary product holder has an adjustable brake device, which comprises a brake shoe element which can be pressed against the guide groove with an adjustable pressure. This enables the sanitary product holder to be reliably and simply held at the wall bar where it is mounted. A further advantage of this embodiment can be that by adjusting the pressure of the brake shoe element, the braking effect of the braking device can be set or adjusted such that, on the one hand, the adjustment movement is not very difficult for the sanitary product holder to pass through by the user and, on the other hand, unintentional displacement of the sanitary product holder in the guide slot can be avoided. In an alternative embodiment, the braking device acts on the outside of the wall lever. The braking effect of the braking device in the guide groove can be provided or in any case assisted by the combined action of the corresponding braking contact surfaces, on the one hand, at the brake shoe element and, on the other hand, at the guide groove, with a form-and/or force-fit.

Detailed Description

As illustrated in the figures according to an exemplary implementation, the wall support device according to the invention has a wall-mountable rod holder unit 1, a wall rod 2 and a sanitary product holder means 3. The lever bracket unit 1 is arranged for mounting at a wall 25 of a bathroom or shower, for example. In the state of the wall support device ready for operational installation, the rod support unit 1 is fixedly, i.e. immovably mounted at the wall 25.

The wall rod 2 may be wrapped around a longitudinal axis L parallel to the rod _A Is of the oscillation axis S of ( _A Is swingably held at the lever bracket unit 1. In the case of the embodiment shown, the wall bar 2 is arranged vertically at the wall 25, as can be seen in particular in fig. 1A and 1B. In alternative embodiments, the wall bar 2 may be arranged horizontally or in another orientation at the wall 25. The wall bar 2 has a longitudinally extending guide slot 4 in which the sanitary product holder means 3 is guided. In the embodiment shown, the guide groove 4 extends continuously over the entire length L of the wall bar 2, as can be seen in fig. 1B. The wall lever 2 is pivotable between an operating position (in the example shown in fig. 1A) and a maintenance position (in the example shown in fig. 1B). The operating position of the wall lever 2 in the non-pivoted starting state can also be referred to as the zero position.

The sanitary product holder means 3 is longitudinally movable and removably held at the wall bar 2. In the case of the embodiment shown, the sanitary product holder means 3 at least partially encloses the wall bar 2, as can be seen in particular in fig. 1B. The sanitary product holder means 3 can be guided out of the guide channel for removal from the wall bar.

The wall support device according to the invention furthermore has a stop mechanism 5 which, in the released state, releases the guide out of the sanitary product holder 3 when the wall lever 2 is in the service position and, in the blocked state, stops the sanitary product holder 3 from being guided out of the guide slot 4 when the wall lever 2 is in the operating position. In the embodiment shown, the maintenance position of the wall bar 2 is pivoted 90 ° to the zero position of the wall bar 2, as can be seen in fig. 1A and 1B. The wall support device can be configured such that the pivoting of the wall lever 2 is limited in terms of the angular value range (angle range for short) to between 0 ° and 90 °. Alternatively, the angular range can be chosen arbitrarily small or large, for example, less than 80 ° or up to 180 ° or 270 °, depending on the requirements or the application of the wall support device, wherein in extreme cases an angular-free pivoting movement of the wall lever can also be provided.

In an advantageous embodiment, the pole support unit 1 has two wall-mounted pole supports 6,7 spaced apart from one another by a distance a, as can be seen in fig. 1A and 1B. The wall lever 2 is mounted with a first end 8 on a first of the two lever supports 6 in a pivotable manner. For this purpose, the lever carrier 6 has a bearing pin 33 which is accommodated in a rotationally movable manner in a recess 34 at the end side 8 of the wall lever 2, as can be seen in fig. 5. In the embodiment shown, the wall lever 2 is mounted with its first end face 8 and second end face 26 so as to be pivotable between the two lever supports 6,7, as can be seen in fig. 1B. The length L of the wall bar 2 thus corresponds approximately to the distance a of the bar carriers 6, 7.

In a structurally advantageous embodiment, as in the example shown, the guide channel 4 has an outlet opening 10 for the outlet of the sanitary product holder 3 at least at the end region 9 of the wall bar 2 facing the first bar support 6. The guide channel 4 extends now to a first end side 8 of the wall bar 2 facing the first bar support 6, so that the wall bar 2 has an outlet opening 10 at this end side 8, from which the sanitary product holder means 3 can be led out. In the embodiment shown, the guide groove 4 extends from the first end side 8 of the wall bar 2 to the second end side 26 of the wall bar 2, as already mentioned. The longitudinal displaceability of the sanitary product holder means 3 is thereby achieved on the one hand over the entire length L of the wall bar 2, and on the other hand the sanitary product holder means 3 can be guided out on both end sides 8, 26 of the wall bar 2. Alternatively, the outlet opening 10 can be formed as a corresponding widening or expansion of the slot opening in the end region 9 of the wall lever 2 at the side 27 of the guide slot 4 of the wall lever 2 into which the slot opening opens.

In an alternative embodiment, the outlet opening 10 for the outlet of the sanitary product holder means 3 can be formed in the middle region between the two lever brackets 6,7 of the wall lever 2.

In an advantageous embodiment, as in the example shown, the locking mechanism 5 has an end stop 11, which in the blocked state of the locking mechanism 5 is releasably inserted into the guide slot 4. In the present case, the end stop 11 is inserted into the guide groove 4 in the end region 9 of the wall bar 2, as can be seen in fig. 1B. The end stop 11 can be clamped in the guide groove 4, for example by means of a positioning screw 28, as is the case in the example shown. The end stop 11 limits the longitudinal displacement of the sanitary product holder means 3 in the guide channel 4 at least in one direction.

In a special embodiment, the stop mechanism 5 comprises a further end stop 29, which is preferably identical in structure. In the case of the exemplary embodiment shown, a further end stop 29 is inserted into the guide groove 4 in an end region 30 of the wall bar 2 facing away from the end region 9, as can be seen in fig. 1B. Thereby, the longitudinal movement of the sanitary product holder means 3 in the guide slot 4 is limited by stops in both directions. The end stops 11, 29 not only limit the longitudinal mobility of the sanitary product holder 3, but also currently prevent the sanitary product holder 3 from being guided out of the guide channel 4. In this way, even when the wall lever 2 is pivoted from the operating position into the service position, the locking mechanism 5 remains in the blocked state by the inserted end stops 11, 29. In this state, the sanitary product holder means 3 cannot be removed from the wall bar 2, as can be seen in fig. 1B. The sanitary product holder 3 can only be pulled out of the guide channel 4 by releasing and removing at least one of the two end stops 11, 29 from the guide channel 4. The stop mechanism 5 is in the released state. In the example shown, the end stops 11, 29 can be led out on the respective end sides 8, 26 of the wall bar 2. In this case, the end stops 11, 29 are accessible for removal of the guide groove 4 when the wall lever 2 is in the service position.

In a further advantageous implementation, the stop means 5 comprise a blocking region 12 of the rod support unit 1, which, when the wall rod 2 is in the maintenance position, releases the guide slot 4 for the extraction of the sanitary product holder means 3, and, when the wall rod 2 is in the operating position, blocks the guide slot 4 from the extraction of the sanitary product holder means 3. In contrast to the example shown, in the case of this embodiment the wall support device does not have end stops 11, 29, but rather the rod support unit 1 acts as a type of end stop. The locking mechanism 5 is in a blocked state in a pivoted position of the wall lever 2, which is different from the service position, and secures the sanitary product holder 3 against removal from the guide slot 4. The sanitary product holder means 3 is thereby brought into abutment against the blocking region 12 of the rod carrier unit 1, wherein the blocking region 12 is preferably formed by a side 31 of the rod carrier unit 1 facing the wall rod 2, as can be seen in particular in fig. 2A. When the wall lever 2 reaches the maintenance position, the stop mechanism 5 is in the released state and the guide slot 4 is released to withdraw the sanitary ware holder means 3. It is thereby possible that the sanitary product holder means 3 can be removed from the wall bar 2 without tools only by pivoting the wall bar 2 into the service position.

In an advantageous embodiment, the wall bar 2 has a substantially polygonal cross section, as can be seen in particular in fig. 6. The present wall bar 2 has a rectangular cross section. In alternative implementations, the wall bar 2 may have a cross-section that is, for example, triangular, more than four-sided, or circular or oval.

In a structurally advantageous embodiment, the guide groove 4 faces the wall in the operating position of the wall lever 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide groove 4 faces the wall 25 in the operating position of the wall lever 2, as can be seen in fig. 1A.

In an advantageous embodiment, the wall lever 2 is held at the lever carrier unit 1 via a latching mechanism 13. The latching mechanism 13 provides a plurality of latching positions for the pivoting movement of the wall lever 2, wherein the operating position and the service position each form one of the latching positions. This allows the wall lever 2 to remain in the set position as a stable pivot position, depending on the latching position. In the case of the exemplary embodiment shown, the latching mechanism 13 has more than two latching positions, as can be seen in fig. 6.

In the present case, a further latching position is provided between a first latching position corresponding to the operating position of the wall lever 2 and a second latching position in the case of a 90 ° pivoting of the wall lever 2 into the service position, in particular in each case a further latching position of 30 ° or 60 ° pivoting of the wall lever 2. The further latching position can assume an operating position other than the mentioned operating position, which enables the user to quickly and simply change or adjust the orientation or spatial position of the sanitary product holder 3 and thus the sanitary product held therein, for example a hand-held shower, an overhead shower or a side shower or a soap dispenser. In the example shown, a contour 35, for example a groove, is provided for this purpose at the peripheral surface 37 of the bearing pin 33, which interacts with a corresponding contour of a latching unit 36 accommodated in the groove 34 of the wall lever 2, as can be seen in fig. 6. The latching unit 36 preferably has a flexible material, so that it can yield elastically radially outwards in the event of a torsion relative to the bearing pin 33. For this purpose, the locking unit 36 may, for example, consist of a plurality of parts which are arranged one after the other in the circumferential direction around the bearing pin 33 and which are held together in one piece with each other or separately in the recess 34 of the wall lever 2.

In an advantageous embodiment, as in the case of the example shown, the sanitary product holder 3 has a slide 14 which is arranged movably in the guide channel 4 and a holder 15 connected thereto for receiving a sanitary product, as can be seen in fig. 3. In the embodiment shown, the holding body 15 is releasably connected to the slide 14. It is thereby possible to replace the holding body 15 according to the sanitary products provided or in the case of maintenance, very simply by removing the slide. The current holder 15 is intended for fastening a hand-held water jet, not shown in the figures, to the wall bar 2 and has a basically known structure for this purpose. In an alternative embodiment, the slide 14 and the holding body 15 are constructed as one piece.

In an advantageous embodiment, the guide groove 4 has a groove cross section which comprises at least two guide grooves 18,19 extending transversely at a distance on one of the two opposite groove sides 16 and at least one guide groove 20 on the other groove side 17, as can be seen in fig. 4 and 6. In the case of the embodiment shown, according to fig. 3 and 7, the slide 14 has on two slide sides 21,22 facing away from each other guides 18',19',20 'engaging into the guide grooves 18,19,20, which have a contour corresponding to the contour of the guide grooves 18,19,20, wherein the guides 18',19',20' slide or roll along the guide grooves 18,19, 20. Currently, the guide grooves 18,19,20 and the guides 18',19',20' have a semicircular profile. The guides 18',19',20 'are preferably arranged in a rotationally fixed or rotationally movable manner at the slide sides 21,22 in a hemispherical fashion, so that the guides 18',19',20' can slide or roll along the associated guide grooves 18,19,20, as can be seen in fig. 7. For this purpose, the slide has in the example shown two guide elements 18',19',20' arranged at a distance from each other for each guide groove 18,19, 20. In alternative embodiments, the guide groove 4 has a substantially planar face or groove side or only one guide groove, or at least two guide grooves on two opposite groove sides.

In a structurally and functionally advantageous embodiment, the sanitary product holder means 3 has an adjustable braking device 23, which comprises a brake shoe element 24 which can be pressed against the guide channel 4 with an adjustable pressure. For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the brake device 23 has an adjusting element 32, for example a threaded fastener, via which the pressure can be adjusted, as can be seen in fig. 1B. Thereby, the user can adjust the braking effect of the braking device 23 by a corresponding operation of the adjustment element 32, if desired. The braking effect of the braking device 23 in the guide groove 4 can be provided or in any case assisted by the corresponding braking contact surfaces acting in a form-and/or force-fitting manner on the one hand at the brake shoe element 24 and on the other hand at the guide groove 4, depending on the application. In an alternative embodiment, the braking device 23 acts on the radial circumferential side 27 of the wall bar 2.

As illustrated and further described above, the present invention provides a sanitary wall support device that offers advantages over conventional wall support devices, in particular in terms of functionality, structure, operating comfort and/or maintenance costs. The wall support device according to the invention provides a simple solution for quick and easy removal of the sanitary product holder means 3 from the wall bar 2 in maintenance situations and cleaning situations. The installation and removal of the sanitary product holder means 3 can be achieved in this case with relatively few operations by simply pivoting the wall bar 2 from the operating position into the maintenance position, without the wall bar 2 having to be removed from the bar carrier unit 1 or the bar carrier unit having to be removed from the wall.

It goes without saying that the wall support device is not only suitable for hygienic applications, but also for any other non-hygienic use purpose, where the object holding means holding the object or object should be longitudinally movably and removably held at the wall-mountable wall bar.
