Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einbau-Armatur zur höhenverstellbaren Anbringung einer Handbrause gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a built-in fitting for height adjustable Attaching a hand shower according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Eine solche Einbau-Armatur ist durch die deutsche Gebrauchsmusterschrift 1812193 bekannt. Es ist weiterhin bekannt, daß gebräuchliche Brausegarnituren regelmäßig aus einer Handbrause, einem Brauseschlauch sowie einer Wandstange, auf der ein stufenlos verstellbarer und arretierbarer Handbrausehalter angebracht ist, bestehen. Die Wandstange wird durch Abstandhalter parallel zur Wand meistens lotrecht angebracht. Die oben und unten an der Wandstange befestigten Abstandhalter weisen je einen Montagesockel auf. Diese Sockel werden regelmäßig mittels je zwei Schrauben und entsprechenden Dübeln an der Seitenwand befestigt. Der auf der gesamten Länge der Wandstange frei bewegliche und stufenlos arretierbare Handbrauseträger ist mit einer Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Handbrause versehen.Such a fitting is by the German utility model Known in 1812193. It is also known that common shower sets from a hand shower, a shower hose and a wall bar on which a stepless adjustable and lockable hand shower holder attached is exist. The wall bar is parallel by spacers mostly mounted perpendicular to the wall. The top and bottom of the Spacers attached to the wall bar each have a mounting base on. These sockets are regularly made using two Screws and corresponding dowels attached to the side wall. The freely movable and along the entire length of the wall bar infinitely lockable hand shower support is with a holder provided for the hand shower.

Im Dokument CH-A-453 237 sowie in der deutschen Gebrauchsmusteranmeldung 7921329 sind Alternativen zur oben beschriebenen Einbau-Armatur bekannt gemacht. Die Wandstange wird ersetzt durch eine auf oder in einer Wand befestigbare Profilschiene. Dabei gelten dieselben Funktionsprinzipien wie beim Wandstangen-System.In document CH-A-453 237 and in the German utility model application 7921329 are known alternatives to the built-in fitting described above. The wall bar is replaced by an on or in a profile rail that can be attached to a wall. The same functional principles apply as for the wall bar system.

Bei den heute gebräuchlichen Brausegarnituren werden zahlreiche unterschiedliche Systeme verwendet, die sich im wesentlichen durch unterschiedliche Handbrause-Aufnahme/Verstellmechanismen und Arretiervorrichtungen auszeichnen. Gemeinsam haben alle diese Systeme, die meist rund oder viereckig ausgeformte Wandstangen von unterschiedlicher Länge. Nachteilig ist beim Wandstangen-System, daß die Reinigung der Wandfliesen erschwert ist. So ist z.B. der Einsatz eines Gummischabers zur schnellen und gründlichen Fliesenreinigung beim Wandstangen-System nur sehr bedingt möglich. Auch kommt es vor, daß sich duschende Personen an der Wandstange stoßen..Today's shower sets are numerous different systems are used, which are essentially due to different hand shower holder / adjustment mechanisms and mark locking devices. All have in common these systems, which are usually round or square shaped wall bars of different lengths. The disadvantage of the wall bar system is that cleaning the wall tiles is difficult. For example, the use of a rubber scraper for quick and thorough tile cleaning with the wall bar system only very conditionally possible. It also happens that people showering themselves bump against the wall bar ..

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Einbau-Armatur zu schaffen, die den gestellten hygienischen Anforderungen gerecht wird. The invention has for its object a generic Built-in fitting to create the hygienic requirements justice.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Einrichtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruch 1 gelöst.This task is performed by a generic device the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.

Vorteilhaft erscheint zunächst die kreisrunde Querschnittsform der Hohlschiene. Im Interesse kontinuierlicher Weiterentwicklungen von Handbrauseträger-Varianten müssen auch andere Querschnittsformen der Hohlschienen berücksichtigt werden. Die Hohlschiene wird durch extra für das System gefertigte Wandfliesen geformt. Das bietet den Vorteil, keinerlei zusätzliche Bauelemente für die Hohlschiene verwenden zu müssen. Eine vorteilhafte Abwandlung dieser Variante stellt die Verwendung des Hohlschienen-Systems in Dusch-Fertigkabinen dar. Hier wird bei der Formung (z.B. aus PVC) die Hohlschiene bereits eingebaut, d.h. es fallen keine Extrakosten an.The circular cross-sectional shape initially appears advantageous the hollow rail. In the interest of continuous further development of hand shower support variants also need others Cross-sectional shapes of the hollow rails are taken into account. The hollow rail is made by specially for the system Shaped wall tiles. This has the advantage of no additional To use components for the hollow rail. The use represents an advantageous modification of this variant of the hollow rail system in pre-assembled shower cubicles. Here the hollow rail is already used during the molding (e.g. from PVC) built-in, i.e. there are no extra costs.

Dieses Hohlschienen-System ist als Baukasten-Element-System ausgelegt, um für alle beliebigen Längen und ggf. Formen (für den Verlauf der Hohlschiene in Draufsicht) geeignet zu sein. Für das Einführen und Herausnehmen des Gleitkörpers gibt es ein spezielles Bauelement.This hollow rail system is a modular element system designed to fit any length and shape (for the course of the hollow rail in plan view) be. For inserting and removing the sliding body there is a special component.

Der stufenlos verstellbare Handbrauseträger kann zweckmäßigerweise mit speziellen Adaptern versehen werden, um für alle gängigen Handbrause-Typen verwendbar zu sein.The infinitely adjustable hand shower holder can be convenient be equipped with special adapters for everyone common hand shower types to be used.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht insbesondere darin, daß im Gegensatz zum heute gebräuchlichen System keine auf die Wand montierte Gleitstange nötig ist. Damit ist der Anteil von Bauelementen, die sichtbar und störend für Reinigungsvorgänge auf der Wand angebracht sind, beträchtlich vermindert. Die Neuerung "bietet den Vorteil einer Verstellmöglichkeit vom Fußboden bis an die Decke" ohne störende Wandstangen und ohne zusätzliche Einbauelemente.The advantage achieved with the invention is in particular in that, in contrast to the system currently in use, none wall-mounted slide bar is necessary. So that's the Proportion of components that are visible and disruptive to cleaning processes mounted on the wall, considerably reduced. The innovation "offers the advantage of an adjustment option from floor to ceiling "without annoying wall poles and without additional installation elements.
