Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Brausestange, an deren an einer Stange verschiebbarem, die Handbrause tragendem Gleitteil eine von Hand zu lösende, das Gleitteil wahlweise in unterschiedlicher Höhe an der Stange arretierende Klemmvorrichtung angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a shower rail, on the sliding part of which is displaceable on a rod and carries the hand shower, there is a clamping device which can be released by hand and which optionally locks the sliding part at different heights on the rod.

Bei den bereits bekannten Brausestangen, wie in der Patentschrift FR-A 2 407 301 gezeigt, wird das Gleitteil entweder durch Betätigen eines Drückers oder durch Lockern eines am Gleitteil befindlichen Schraubenmechanismus, der gegen die Brausestange drückt, zum Bewegen freigesetzt. Diese Konzeptionen haben den Nachteil, dass je nach Einstellhöhe nicht alle Benutzer an die Handbrause heranreichen. Ist die Brausestange etwa nach der Körperlänge Erwachsener installiert oder befindet sich das Gleitteil hoch oben an der Stange, so vermögen zum Beispiel kleine Kinder die Handbrause nicht zu benutzen. Das gleiche Problem ergibt sich, wenn zum Beispiel in Duschanlagen von öffentlichen Einrichtungen oder Pflegeanstalten die Brausen zum Beispiel von Rollstuhlpatienten benutzt werden.In the previously known shower rails, as shown in the patent FR-A 2 407 301, the sliding part is released for movement either by actuating a pusher or by loosening a screw mechanism on the sliding part which presses against the shower rail. The disadvantage of these designs is that, depending on the setting height, not all users can reach the hand shower. If, for example, the shower rail is installed according to the body length of an adult or if the sliding part is located high up on the rail, small children, for example, cannot use the hand shower. The same problem arises if, for example, showers used by public institutions or nursing homes are used by wheelchairs, for example.

Gelöst wird das vorgenannte Problem durch die erfindungsgemässe Konstruktion der besagten Brausestange, bei der an letzterer ein Herabziehelement angeordnet ist, über dessen wesentlich unterhalb des Gleitteils befindliches Ende der Klemmzustand zwischen Stange und Klemmvorrichtung manuell aufgehoben und das Gleitteil in eine neue Höhenstellung gebracht wird, in der die Klemmvorrichtung das Gleitteil nach Freigabe des Herabziehelementes arretiert.The aforementioned problem is solved by the inventive construction of the said shower rail, in which a pull-down element is arranged on the latter, via the end of which is located substantially below the sliding part, the clamping state between the rod and the clamping device is manually canceled and the sliding part is brought into a new height position in which the clamping device locks the sliding part after releasing the pull-down element.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemässen Brausestange sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further advantageous embodiments of the shower rail according to the invention are described in the subclaims.

Bei der günstigsten, an Hand der Zeichnung im folgenden näher beschriebenen Ausführungsform wird das Gleitteil durch Ziehen an einem an einer Schnur befestigten Ziehgriff in seine Tiefststellung geholt. Der Ziehgriff befindet sich unterhalb des untersten Befestigungsteils der Brausestange. Diese Konstruktion hat den Vorteil, dass jeder Brausebenutzer, der an den Ziehgriff heranreicht, auch die Handbrause nach unten zu holen vermag.In the cheapest embodiment, which is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, the sliding part is brought into its lowest position by pulling on a pull handle fastened to a cord. The pull handle is located below the lowest fastening part of the shower rail. This construction has the advantage that every shower user who reaches the pull handle can also pull the hand shower down.

Die beigefügte Zeichnung zeigt eine erfindungsgemässe Brausestange in teilweisem Vertikalschnitt.The accompanying drawing shows a shower rail according to the invention in partial vertical section.

Die Befestigung der Brausestange 1 an der Wand des Duschraumes kann über ein oberes und unteres Befestigungsteil 16, 18 erfolgen, zwischen denen sich die Stange 2 erstreckt. Zum Halten des an der Stange angeordneten, die Handbrause 3 tragenden Gleitteils 4 in einer bestimmten Höhe ist an letzterem ein Drücker 5 vorhanden, der auf an sich bekannte Weise so an das Gleitteil 4 angelenkt ist, dass die zwischen Drücker 5 und Gleitteil 4 befindliche Druckfeder 8 durch Pressen des Drückers gegen die Brausestange das Gleitteil in seiner jeweiligen Position arretiert.The shower rail 1 can be fastened to the wall of the shower room via an upper and lower fastening part 16, 18, between which the rod 2 extends. To hold the sliding part 4 arranged on the rod and carrying the hand shower 3 at a certain height, a pusher 5 is provided on the latter, which is articulated to the sliding part 4 in a manner known per se such that the compression spring located between the pusher 5 and the sliding part 4 8 locked the slide in its respective position by pressing the handle against the shower rail.

Die Brausestange funktioniert auf an sich bekannt Weise so, dass, werden Gleitteil 4 und daran befindlicher Drücker 5 gegeneinander gedrückt, die Verriegelung an der Stange 2 gelöst wird und das Gleitteil 4 frei nach oben und unten verschoben werden kann. Diese Funktionsweise setzt voraus, dass der Brausebenutzer zwecks Ausführens der Druckbewegung mit der Hand an das Gleitteil heranreicht.The shower rail functions in a manner known per se such that, when the sliding part 4 and the pusher 5 located thereon are pressed against one another, the locking on the rod 2 is released and the sliding part 4 can be freely moved up and down. This function presupposes that the shower user reaches the sliding part by hand in order to carry out the pressure movement.

Für kleinwüchsige oder ansonsten tief unter der Handbrause befindliche Brausebenutzer ist die oben beschriebene Brausestange zusätzlich mit einer Schnur 6 versehen, über deren endständigen (7) Ziehgriff 10 der Benutzer durch eine Ziehbewegung die Verriegelungswirkung des Drückers 5 aufheben und das Gleitteil 4 und damit die Handbrause mit der Schnur nach unten in die gewünschte Höhe zu holen vermag.For short stature or otherwise deep under the hand shower, the shower rail described above is additionally provided with a cord 6, over the terminal (7) pull handle 10 of which the user can cancel the locking action of the push button 5 by a pulling movement and the sliding part 4 and thus the hand shower with the cord can be brought down to the desired height.

An der Schnur 6 ist an einer bestimmten Stelle ein Sperrelement 11 befestigt. Beim Ziehen an dem Ziehgriff läuft die Schnur durch die Öffnungen 13, 14, 15, und das Sperrelement 11 passiert die Öffnung 15 am Gleitteil, trifft dann auf den Drücker 5 und kippt diesen so, dass die Arretierung an der Stange 2 gelöst wird. Mit Beendigung der Zugs an der Schnur 6 kehrt der Drücker 5 in seine Arretierstellung zurück.A locking element 11 is attached to the cord 6 at a certain point. When pulling the pull handle, the cord runs through the openings 13, 14, 15, and the locking element 11 passes through the opening 15 on the sliding part, then hits the pusher 5 and tilts it so that the locking on the rod 2 is released. When the pull on the cord 6 ends, the push button 5 returns to its locking position.

Die Schnur wird durch das Gegengewicht 12, das vorzugsweise in der hohlen Brausestange 2 läuft, straffgehalten. Der Ziehgriff 10 hält das untere Schnurende 7 nach Freigabe des Ziehgriffes unterhalb des unteren Befestigungsteils 16 in seiner Ruhestellung. Die Schnur wird im Hinblick auf Unauffälligkeit vorzugsweise zwischen Stange und Wand geführt.The cord is held taut by the counterweight 12, which preferably runs in the hollow shower bar 2. The pull handle 10 holds the lower end of the cord 7 after the release of the pull handle below the lower fastening part 16 in its rest position. The cord is preferably routed between the bar and the wall in order to be unobtrusive.

Die Schnur 6 verläuft straff gespannt von der Öffnung 17 des unteren Befestigungsteils 16 zur Öffnung 19 des oberen Befestigungsteils 18. Im oberen Befestigungsteil befindet sich eine Schnurführung 20, über die die Schnur 6 läuft. Dieses Führungsteil 20 besteht vorzugsweise aus gut gleitfähigem Kunststoff und hat im Vertikalschnitt oben halbrunde Form.The cord 6 runs taut from the opening 17 of the lower fastening part 16 to the opening 19 of the upper fastening part 18. In the upper fastening part there is a cord guide 20 over which the cord 6 runs. This guide part 20 is preferably made of easily slidable plastic and has a semicircular shape at the top in vertical section.

Die erfindungsgemässe Brausestange kann natürlich, unter Beibehaltung der in den Patentansprüchen niedergelegten erfinderischen Grundidee, in ihren Details auf vielerlei Weise verwirklicht werden.The shower rail according to the invention can of course be implemented in many different ways while maintaining the basic inventive idea set out in the patent claims.
