Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower holder for the removable holder of a hand shower.
  • shower holders are used to fix a hand shower during or after use so that the shower can be used.
  • the shower holder can either be attached directly to the wall or with a slider on a wall bar so that it can also be adjusted.
  • conventional shower holders have a sleeve element that is slotted and has an inner cone.
  • the inner cone interacts with a cone element of the hand shower, usually a cone nut. Due to the slot that is required to pass the shower hose, there is a certain elasticity of the conical sleeve, so that the hand shower can be fixed there by clamping.
  • the sleeve element in which the hand shower is clamped can be pivotable about an axis running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cone in order to adjust the hand shower so that the jets emerge in a certain direction.
  • the invention has for its object to further improve the handling of a shower holder for the user.
  • the invention proposes a shower holder with the features mentioned in claim 1. Developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the movement can result in a more pleasant feeling for the user, so that less forces may have to be applied or a lower holding force is necessary.
  • the conical surface of the sleeve element has an elastomer layer.
  • the flat covering of the cone surface preferably over the entire cone surface, allows the hand shower to be pushed in with less force, since the holding force of the shower holder increases. A more pleasant feeling can result for the user, since the insertion appears to be somewhat slowed down.
  • the sleeve element has on its outside an elastomer layer on which a part of the holder when the sleeve element is pivoted lies flat.
  • the elastomer layer has an annular shape on the outside of the sleeve element and the holder bears against the elastomer layer in the radial direction with respect to the pivot axis.
  • the shower holder can have a latching device for latching pivoting of the sleeve element, the latching device containing a latching element which is deformed in the radial direction with respect to the pivot axis and which bears against the elastomer layer at least during the deformation.
  • the elastomer layer can contribute to making the catch element weaker or to limit its deformation in that at the end of the deformation movement, part of the deformation is absorbed by the flat elastomer layer and thereby distributed.
  • the elastomer layer is preferably present on the outer side at these two points.
  • the elastomer layer on the inside of the sleeve element is connected to that on the outside thereof. This connection can take place through the sleeve element, the elastomer layer preferably being sprayed through openings in the sleeve element. Overall, the elastomer layer can be made coherent or in one piece.
  • the inner conical surface of the sleeve element has depressions, holes or the like, which possibly pass through to the outside of the sleeve element and into which the elastomer layer is injected.
  • the shower holder shown in Fig. 1 in partial section contains a slide 1, which is guided on a vertically extending wall bar 2.
  • the wall bar 2 is screwed to a bathroom wall with brackets, for example.
  • a braking element is provided, which can be released with the aid of an actuating element 3 in the form of a push button.
  • the actual shower holder 4 is rotatably mounted on the slider about a vertical axis.
  • the vertical axis runs parallel to the wall bar 2.
  • a sleeve element 5 is held, in the embodiment shown in a manner that a Pivots the sleeve member 5 about an axis running perpendicular to the paper plane of FIG. 1.
  • the sleeve element contains in its interior an inner opening with a circular cross section, the diameter of which decreases from top to bottom, so that an inner cone shape is formed.
  • This inner cone shape is accessed through a lateral slot 6, the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the inner cone but larger than the diameter of the shower hose.
  • the sleeve element has a stub-like extension 7 on each of two opposite side edges, which in a manner to be described further forms a shaft extension which is mounted in the side parts of the shower holder 4.
  • the shower holder has an incision in the region of its end facing away from the wall bar 2, which is approximately U-shaped and in which the sleeve element 5 is arranged.
  • the shower holder 4 contains a circular recess which is delimited by a skirt 8 over a larger part of its circumference.
  • a toothed disk 10 is plugged, which consists for example of a different material.
  • the toothed disc 10 has teeth 11 on its outside. Due to the star shape of the extension 7, the toothed disk 10 is connected to the sleeve element 5 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • a locking element 12 is arranged within the skirt 8 in a rotationally fixed manner, the rotationally fixed connection of which is secured by a projection 14 directed radially outward with respect to the indicated pivot axis 13.
  • This locking element 12 has the shape of a ring with four arch elements 15, 16 which are connected to one another by weak points 17.
  • Each two opposing arch elements 16 have on their radial inside an internal toothing corresponding to the toothing 11, while the other two opposing arch elements 15 are smooth on their radial inside. All arch elements 15, 16 have a smooth outer surface, which lies on a cylindrical surface.
  • annular surface 17 is formed, which is delimited radially on the outside by a short apron 18.
  • the inner conical surface of the sleeve element 5 Before the toothed disks 10 are put on, the inner conical surface of the sleeve element 5, the annular surface 17 radially outside the stub-like projections 17 and the bottom of the depressions 9 are connected to a lining 19 made of an elastomer material.
  • This elastomeric material also forms on the outer edge of the ring surface 17 a short cylindrical ring element 20, which rests with its radial outside on the radial inside of the apron 8 of the shower holder 4.
  • this lining takes place in that, starting from the recesses 9 in the stub-like star-shaped lugs 7, the elastomer material is injected inward through through openings in the sleeve element 5, from where it reaches the annular space radially outside the lugs 7 through further through openings .
  • the ring element 20 lies between the aprons 8 and the outside of the locking element 12.
  • the lining 19 of the sleeve element 5 can be seen in more detail in FIG. 3.
  • the lining 19 covers the inner conical surface and is connected to the ring element 20 via openings.
  • the bottom of the annular surface 17 is also covered.
  • the arch elements 16 provided with the internal toothing are pressed outwards by the rotation of the toothed disk 10 relative to the latching element 12 which remains stationary.
  • the weak points 17 deform between the individual arch elements 15, 16. After a brief radial displacement outwards, the arch elements 16 lie against the inside of the ring element 20, so that their further movement outwards is limited by the somewhat deformable elastomer material of the ring element 20.
  • the locking element 16 or the weak points 17 between the arch elements can be made weaker, since a large part of the forces are absorbed by the elastomer material.
  • the damping properties of the elastomer material result in noise insulation or less hard locking, which gives the user a more pleasant feeling.
  • the pivoting of the sleeve element occurs in that the user engages in the inserted shower.
  • the elastomer lining extends from the upper edge 21 of the sleeve element 5 to just before its lower edge 22.
  • an inner shoulder 23 is formed, against which the lower edge of the lining 19 lies. It protrudes radially inwards somewhat, so that the shower handle is not prevented by the firmer material of the sleeve element 5 from compressing the elastomer material of the lining somewhat.
  • individual depressions 24 can be provided, into which the material is injected.
  • further measures can be taken that lead to better adhesion of the elastomer material.
