Abstract

Device for a rotatable holder for a textile shower curtain, characterized in that the device according to the invention for the rotatable holder for a textile shower curtain (7) consists of a substructure (2; 2a; 3) attached to the ceiling and a pane support (4) for the Inclusion of any number of sliding discs (5) with an equal number of support arms (6), preferably 17.

Description

Introduction title

The invention relates to a device for supporting a textile shower curtain for a space-saving Aufbewahrug the same after using a commercial rain shower, the holder is connected to a flush-mounted water connection, which is embedded in the ceiling. The device for holding serves to hold movable sliding discs with support arms, which have hooks at their end, in which a textile shower curtain is suspended by eyelets and is clamped by means of the sliding discs with different angular position.

State of the art

Generally got to use shower curtains to protect the bath; these sliding shower curtains are known to be attached by means of rails of different cross sections either directly under the ceiling or side brackets so that they are pushed by hand to the side.

After patent US 1960969A1 a shower is described in which it must be interrupted for opening and closing in one place. After the present 1 , Point 42 . 43 the solution is only very vaguely functional The leverage from a wall bracket towards the muzzle and then the deflection on the support arms appears very large, so this system is quite unstable.

Next will be after patent US 1684284A1 described a solution that uses the same axis of rotation for each arm, but which has no water-bearing function.

Next is after utility model DE8704362U a device for mounting for hanging objects, esp. Described by shower curtains, in which the holder for the rods is rotatably mounted and that the pivot bearings for the rods in the holder are arranged so that they move in a curved line and in their respective position spring-loaded can be locked. The functionality described is not clear if the whole mechanism hangs at a height where it can not be operated directly. The device shown is wall bound.

Next is in the patent DE9936041A1 described a loosely attached camping folding device for shower curtains for fast damming. On a frame with a central strut at least three extending in the horizontal region struts are arranged, which are pivotally mounted in the lower region of the vertical strut, wherein the horizontal struts can be pivoted in one direction far enough that they rest parallel to the vertical strut.

Disadvantages of the hour of the art.

A disadvantage of the known prior art is that they can not form a tube-like clamped shower enclosure. In addition, only a few solutions have become established in practice, some of which have design disadvantages or errors. This happens with commercially available shower spiders, which break out over time, the bearings or the arms are leveraged and even fall down. (Own experience).

Object of the invention

It is an object of the invention to provide a rotatable support for a textile shower enclosure for a flush-mounted water connection with a commercial shower, for example, embedded in the ceiling and fixed, the holding device of receiving a, attached to movable slide shower curtain serves.

Inventive solution of the problem

The object of the invention is achieved by a rotatable holder with the features according to protection claim.

According to the invention, the water connection is used to hold the holding device for a shower curtain, wherein the water connection can absorb the static and dynamic forces and still maintains the original function.

The mm screwed water pipe is chosen in its length so that space for attachment of any number of sliding washers is ensured, which is determined by the amount of support arms. The thickness of the sliding washers is determined by the diameter of the support rods plus the load corresponding to the amount of material above and below the support rod to prevent the rods from breaking out.

Advantage of the device

The advantages of the invention are that it is easy to produce. It allows multiple use of existing components. It is also very robust in its design. Furthermore, there are no defects, such as small parts that can break. Extra mounts to walls or ceiling do not need to be attached, this results in avoiding any corners and edges, especially in the wet area, which at some point can be problematic hygienic and humid. In addition, the construction is aesthetically advantageous, through minimalist and sichtabgedeckte construction. The opening of the curtain to operate the shower fittings or inlet and outlet are freely selectable.

Embodiment of the invention

The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment. The attached figures show:

In 1 is the inventive device for mounting a textile shower enclosure 7 shown, wherein the disk carrier 4 to a ceiling structure fixed to the ceiling 2 ; 2a ; 3 is releasably secured and at the same time connected to a flush-mounted water connection. The disk carrier 4 serves to accommodate any number of sliding washers 5 with an equal number of support arms 6 , preferably 17.

The flush-mounted water connection 1 is with a dimensionally stable plate 2a the ceiling construction by means of threaded detachably connected. The dimensionally stable plate 2a is by means of thread in the ceiling plate 3 taken in wall disk 2a firmly connected. The visible ceiling plate underneath 3 forms the form-fitting completion of the ceiling construction.

The topmost sliding washer 5 the disc carrying 4 does not receive a support arm 6 , it is firmly connected to it by means of Allen screws; as well is the lowest sliding disc 5 by Allen screws fixed to the disk carrier 4 locked. This is the breaking apart, falling or tilting the support arms 6 prevented during operation.

The lowest sliding disk 5 is for the fixed portion of the support arms 6 selected in zero position and bolted to the disc carrier using Allen head screws. Each additional sliding washer 5 with support arm 6 has a different angle of rotation; further up the support arms run 6 always easier, they also have to travel a longer and longer way. The arrangement causes one to the support arms 6 attached shower curtain 7 automatically tensioned.

The support arms 6 are on the sliding disks 5 arranged offset in order, see 2a and connected by honor firmly glued screw as a rotation lock together, so as to ensure that each support arm 6 clean strikes the next and can not twist.

This avoids mutual snagging or "entanglement".

Below the bottom sliding disc 5 ends the disk carrier 4 with an external thread, leaving a rain shower 8th can be screwed, which also serves as a visual cover for the substructure, because the angle is usually from below.

In the 2 ; 2a is the centerpiece of the fixture of the device 4 ; 5 ; 6 shown in a view with associated side view

The 3a shows the umbrella-like spanned support arms with eyelets 6 for hanging the textile shower curtain 7 ,

The 3b shows the top view of the umbrella-like spanned support arms with eyelets 6 with tensioned textile shower curtain 7 ,

The scale of all accompanying drawings is freely chosen and therefore not uniform.
