Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Brausehalter zur abnehmbaren Halterung einer Handbrause.The invention is based on a shower holder for removable Bracket for a hand shower.
Derartige Brausehalter werden dazu verwendet, eine Handbrause während der Benutzung oder auch nach der Benutzung so festzulegen, daß die Brause benutzt werden kann. Die Brausehalter können entweder direkt an der Wand befestigt sein oder mit einem Schieber an einer Wandstange, so daß sie auch noch verstellt werden können.Such shower holders are used for a hand shower to determine during use or after use, 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 they still can be adjusted.
Zum Festlegen der Handbrause haben übliche Brausehalter ein Hülsenelement, das geschlitzt ist und einen Innenkonus aufweist. Der Innenkonus wirkt mit einem Konuselement der Handbrause, üblicherweise einer Konusmutter, zusammen. Durch den Schlitz, der zum Durchführen des Brauseschlauchs erforderlich ist, ergibt sich eine gewisse Elastizität der Konushülse, so daß die Handbrause dort durch Klemmung festgelegt werden kann. Usual shower holders have a to fix the hand shower Sleeve element that is slotted and an inner cone having. The inner cone works with a cone element Hand shower, usually a cone nut. By the slot required to pass the shower hose there is a certain elasticity of the cone sleeve, so that the hand shower is fixed there by clamping can be.
Das Hülsenelement, in dem die Handbrause festgeklemmt wird, kann um eine senkrecht zur Längsachse des Konus verlaufende Achse verschwenkbar sein, um die Handbrause so einzustellen, daß die Strahlen in einer bestimmten Richtung austreten.The sleeve element in which the hand shower is clamped can be around a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cone Pivotable axis to adjust the hand shower so that the rays emerge in a certain direction.
Ein Beispiel für eine derartige Verschwenkung ist aus DE-PS 35 06 124 bekannt.An example of such a pivoting is out DE-PS 35 06 124 known.
Es ist bereits ein Brausehalter mit einer Konusaufnahme bekannt (DE-A1-4126878), bei der die Konusaufnahme am Rand tangenial von einem Stück eines Elastomerrings durchquert wird. Dieser liegt an einer sehr kleinen fast punktförmigen Fläche des Konuselements der Handbrause an.It is already a shower holder with a cone holder known (DE-A1-4126878), in which the cone holder on the edge traversed tangentially by a piece of an elastomer ring becomes. This is due to a very small, almost punctiform Surface of the cone element of the hand shower.
Bei einer weiteren Bremsringanordnung (DE-A1-4040668) ist ein Elastomerring als Bremsring zwischen zwei Bauteilen vorhanden. Er dient zum Abbremsen einer Bewegung.In another brake ring arrangement (DE-A1-4040668) is a Elastomer ring as a brake ring between two components. It is used to slow down a movement.
Weiterhin bekannt ist ein Halter mit einer Lochaufnahme für eine Handbrause (DE-A1-3507291). Hier ist ebenfalls ein längs des Umfangs eines Konuselements verlaufender Elastomerring vorgesehen.Also known is a holder with a hole holder for a hand shower (DE-A1-3507291). Here is also a lengthways elastomer ring running the circumference of a cone element intended.
Allen bekannten Lösungen ist gemeinsam, daß eine allenfalls linienförmige Anlage erfolgt.All known solutions have in common that one at best line-shaped system takes place.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Handhabung eines Brausehalters für den Benutzer weiter zu verbessern.The invention has for its object the handling of a shower holder for the user to further improve.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brausehalter mit den im Patentanspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.To achieve this object, the invention proposes a shower holder with the features mentioned in claim 1. Developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
Durch die von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Schicht aus Elastomer kann die Bewegung ein angenehmeres Gefühl für den Benutzer ergeben, so daß gegebenenfalls geringere Kräfte aufgewendet werden müssen oder eine geringere Haltekraft nötig wird.The layer proposed by the invention Elastomer can make the movement feel more comfortable Users result, so that possibly lower forces have to be used or a lower holding force becomes necessary.
Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Konusfläche des Hülsenelements eine Elastomerschicht aufweist. Durch die flächige Verkleidung der Konusfläche, vorzugsweise über die gesamte Konusfläche, wird ein Einschieben der Handbrause mit geringerer Kraft erreicht, da sich die Haltekraft des Brausehalters erhöht. Für den Benutzer kann sich ein angenehmeres Gefühl ergeben, da das Einschieben etwas gebremst erscheint.For example, it can be provided that the conical surface of the Sleeve element has an elastomer layer. Through the flat cladding of the cone surface, preferably over the entire conical surface, the hand shower is pushed in with less force is achieved because the holding force of the shower holder elevated. For the user, it can be a more comfortable one Feel the feeling that the insertion seems somewhat slowed down.
Ebenfalls vorgesehen sein kann, daß das Hülsenelement an seiner Außenseite eine Elastomerschicht aufweist, an der ein Teil der Halterung bei der Verschwenkung des Hülsenelements flächig anliegt. Hier läßt sich ein ähnlicher Effekt bewirken wie bei der Auskleidung der Konusfläche für das Einstecken der Handbrause.It can also be provided that the sleeve element has an elastomer layer on the outside, on the Part of the bracket when pivoting the sleeve element lies flat. A similar effect can be achieved here as with the lining of the conical surface for insertion the hand shower.
Insbesondere kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß die Elastomerschicht an der Außenseite des Hülsenelements Ringform aufweist und die Halterung in radialer Richtung bezüglich der Verschwenkachse an der Elastomerschicht anliegt.In particular, it can be provided according to the invention that the Elastomer layer on the outside of the sleeve element ring shape has and the holder in the radial direction with respect the pivot axis lies against the elastomer layer.
Erfindungsgemäß kann der Brausehalter eine Rasteinrichtung zur rastenden Verschwenkung des Hülsenelements aufweisen, wobei die Rasteinrichtung ein Rastelement enthält, das in radialer Richtung bezüglich der Schwenkachse verformt wird und das mindestens während der Verformung an der Elastomerschicht anliegt. Hier kann die Elastomerschicht dazu beitragen, das Rastelement schwächer auszubilden oder seine Verformung dadurch zu begrenzen, daß gegen Ende der Verformungsbewegung ein Teil der Verformung von der flächig vorhandenen Elastomerschicht aufgenommen und dadurch verteilt wird.According to the shower holder can a locking device for latching pivoting of the sleeve element, wherein the locking device contains a locking element which in radial direction with respect to the pivot axis is deformed and at least during the deformation on the elastomer layer is applied. Here the elastomer layer can help to make the locking element weaker or its deformation limit that towards the end of the deformation movement part of the deformation of the surface Elastomer layer is absorbed and thereby distributed.
Da eine Verschwenkung des Hülsenelements an zwei gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten gelagert wird, ist vorzugsweise an diesen beiden Stellen die Elastomerschicht an der Außenseite vorhanden.Because a pivoting of the sleeve element on two opposite Outside is stored is preferably on these two places the elastomer layer on the outside available.
In nochmaliger Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Elastomerschicht an der Innenseite des Hülsenelements mit der an dessen Außenseite verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung kann durch das Hülsenelement hindurch erfolgen, wobei vorzugsweise die Elastomerschicht durch Öffnungen in dem Hülsenelement hindurchgespritzt ist. Insgesamt kann die Elastomerschicht zusammenhängend bzw. einstückig hergestellt sein. In a further development of the invention can be provided be that the elastomer layer on the inside of the sleeve member with which is connected on the outside. This Connection can take place through the sleeve element, preferably the elastomer layer through openings in is injected through the sleeve element. Overall, the Elastomer layer made contiguously or in one piece his.
In Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Innenkonusfläche des Hülsenelements Vertiefungen, Löcher o. dgl. aufweist, die gegebenenfalls zur Außenseite des Hülsenelements durchgehen und in die die Elastomerschicht eingespritzt ist.In a further development it can be provided that the inner cone surface of the sleeve element has depressions, holes or the like, which may go to the outside of the sleeve member and into which the elastomer layer is injected.

Der in Fig. 1 in teilweisem Schnitt dargestellte Brausehalter
enthält einen Schieber 1, der an einer senkrecht verlaufenden
Wandstange 2 verschiebbar geführt ist. Die Wandstange 2 wird
beispielsweise an einer Badezimmerwand mit Haltern angeschraubt.
Zum Arretieren des Schiebers 1 in einer bestimmten
Stellung ist ein Bremselement vorgesehen, das mit Hilfe eines
Betätigungselements 3 in Form eines Durckknopfs gelöst werden
kann. An dem Schieber ist um eine senkrechte Achse verdrehbar
der eigentliche Brausehalter 4 gelagert. Die senkrechte Achse
verläuft parallel zur Wandstange 2. In dem Brausehalter 4
ist, siehe Fig. 2, ein Hülsenelement 5 gehaltert, und zwar
bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform in einer Weise, die ein
Verschwenken des Hülsenelements 5 um eine senkrecht zur
Papierebene der Fig. 1 verlaufende Achse ermöglicht. Das
Hülsenelement enthält in seinem Inneren eine im Querschnitt
kreisförmige Innenöffnung, deren Durchmesser sich von oben
nach unten verringert, so daß eine Innenkonusform gebildet
ist. Der Zugang zu dieser Innenkonusform geschieht durch
einen seitlichen Schlitz 6, dessen Breite kleiner ist als der
Durchmesser des Innenkonus, aber größer als der Durchmesser
des Brauseschlauchs.The shower holder shown in Fig. 1 in partial section
contains a slide 1, which on a vertical
Wall bar 2 is guided. The wall bar 2 will
for example screwed to a bathroom wall with brackets.
To lock the slide 1 in a certain
Position is provided a braking element that with the help of a
Actuator 3 can be solved in the form of a push button
can. The slide can be rotated about a vertical axis
the actual shower holder 4 stored. The vertical axis
runs parallel to the wall bar 2. In the shower holder 4
is, see Fig. 2, a sleeve member 5, namely
in the illustrated embodiment in a manner that a
Swiveling the sleeve member 5 perpendicular to the
Paper plane of Fig. 1 extending axis allows. The
The sleeve element contains a cross-section inside
circular inner opening, the diameter of which is from above
reduced downwards so that an inner cone shape is formed

Das Hülsenelement weist an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden
Seitenkanten je einen stummelartigen Ansatz 7 auf, der in
noch weiter zu beschreibender Weise einen Wellenansatz

Side edges each have a stub-
Der Brausehalter weist im Bereich seines von der Wandstange 2
abgewandten Endes einen Einschnitt auf, der etwa u-förmig
ausgebildet ist und in dem das Hülsenelement 5 angeordnet
ist. In den beiden Schenkeln des Us enthält der Brausehalter
4 eine kreisförmige Vertiefung, die über einen größeren Teil
ihres Umfangs von einer Schürze 8 begrenzt ist.The shower holder points in the area of its from the wall bar 2
opposite end an incision that is approximately u-shaped
is formed and in which the sleeve element 5 is arranged
is. In the two legs of the Us contains the shower holder
4 a circular depression, which over a larger part

Der Stummelansatz 7, der einstückig an den beiden gegenüberliegenden
Außenseiten des Hülsenelements 5 angeformt ist,
weist in seinem Inneren eine kreisförmige Vertiefung 9 auf,
während seine Außenseite die Form eines fünfstrahligen Sterns
aufweist. Auf diesen stummelartigen Ansatz 7 ist eine Zahnscheibe
10 aufgesteckt, die beispielsweise aus einem anderen
Material besteht. Die Zahnscheibe 10 weist an ihrer Außenseite
eine Verzahnung 11 auf. Aufgrund der Sternform des Ansatzes
7 ist die Zahnscheibe 10 drehfest mit dem Hülsenelement 5
verbunden. The
In dem Brausehalter 4 ist innerhalb der Schürze 8 drehfest
ein Rastelement 12 angeordnet, dessen drehfeste Verbindung
durch einen bezüglich der angedeuteten Schwenkachse 13 radial
nach außen gerichteten Vorsprung 14 gesichert ist. Dieses
Rastelement 12 weist die Form eines Rings mit vier Bogenelementen
15, 16 auf, die durch Schwachstellen 17 miteinander
verbunden sind. Je zwei einander gegenüberliegende Bogenelemente
16 weisen an ihrer radialen Innenseite eine der Verzahnung
11 entsprechende Innenverzahnung auf, während die beiden
übrigen einander ebenfalls gegenüberliegenden Bogenelemente
15 an ihrer radialen Innenseite glatt ausgebildet sind. Alle
Bogenelemente 15, 16 weisen eine glatte Außenfläche auf, die
auf einer Zylinderfäche liegt.In the shower holder 4 is non-rotatable within the apron 8

Außerhalb der stummelartigen Ansätze 7 ist eine Ringfläche 17a
gebildet, die radial außen von einer kurzen Schürze 18 begrenzt
ist.Outside the stub-
Vor dem Aufsetzen der Zahnscheiben 10 ist die Innenkonusfläche
des Hülsenelements 5, die Ringfläche 17a radial außerhalb
der stummelartigen Ansätze 7 und der Boden der Vertiefungen
9 mit einer Auskleidung 19 aus einem Elastomermaterial
verbunden. Dieses Elastomermaterial bildet auch am äußeren
Rand der Ringfläche 17a ein kurzzylindrisches Ringelement 20,
das mit seiner radialen Außenseite an der radialen Innenseite
der Schürze 8 des Brausehalters 4 anliegt.The inner cone surface is before the
Die Herstellung dieser Auskleidung geschieht dadurch, daß
ausgehend von den Vertiefungen 9 in den stummelartigen
sternförmigen Ansätzen 7 das Elastomermaterial durch durchgehende
Öffnungen in dem Hülsenelement 5 nach innen gespritzt
wird, von wo aus es durch weitere durchgehende Öffnungen in
den Ringraum radial außerhalb der Ansätze 7 gelangt. The production of this lining is done in that
starting from the
Dadurch wird eine vollständige Bedeckung der Innenkonusfläche
des Hülsenelements 5 sowie der äußeren Seiten erreicht. Das
Ringelement 20 liegt, siehe Fig. 1, zwischen den Schürzen 8
und der Außenseite des Rastelements 12.This will completely cover the inner cone surface
the sleeve element 5 and the outer sides reached. The
In größerer Einzelheit ist die Anordnung der Auskleidung 19
des Hülsenelements 5 in Fig. 3 zu sehen. Die Auskleidung 19
bedeckt, wie bereits erwähnt, die Innenkonusfläche und steht
über Durchbrüche mit dem Ringelement 20 in Verbindung. Auch
der Boden der Ringfläche 17a ist abgedeckt.The arrangement of the lining 19 is in greater detail
of the sleeve element 5 can be seen in FIG. 3. The lining 19
covers, as already mentioned, the inner cone surface and stands
through openings with the
Bei der Verschwenkung des Hülsenelements 5 gegenüber dem
Brausehalter 4 werden durch die Verdrehung der Zahnscheibe 10
gegenüber dem ortsfest bleibenden Rastelement 12 die mit der
Innenverzahnung versehenen Bogenelemente 16 nach außen gedrückt.
Dabei verformen sich die Schwachstellen 17 zwischen
den einzelnen Bogenelementen 15, 16. Nach kurzer radialer
Verschiebung nach außen liegen die Bogenelemente 16 an der
Innenseite des Ringelements 20 an, so daß ihre Weiterbewegung
nach außen durch das etwas verformbare Elastomermaterial des
Ringelements 20 begrenzt wird. Dadurch läßt sich das Rastelement
16 bzw. die Schwachstellen 17 zwischen den Bogenelementen
schwächer ausbilden, da ein großer Teil der Kräfte von
dem Elastomermaterial aufgenommen wird. Zusätzlich ergibt
sich aufgrund der Dämpfungseigenschaften des Elastomermaterials
eine Geräuschdämmung bzw. ein weniger hartes Verrasten,
was für den Benutzer ein angenehmeres Gefühl gibt. Die
Verschwenkung des Hülsenelements geschieht dadurch, daß der
Benutzer an der eingesteckten Brause angreift.When pivoting the sleeve member 5 relative to the
Shower holder 4 are turned by turning the
Beim Einstecken der Brause in axialer Richtung in das Hülsenelement ergibt sich, daß der Benutzer nur mit geringerer Kraft einzuschieben braucht, da das Elastomermaterial der Auskleidung eine vergrößerte Haftreibung aufweist. When the shower is inserted into the sleeve element in the axial direction it follows that the user only with less Force needs to be inserted because the elastomer material Lining has an increased static friction.
Wie aus Fig. 3 zu entnehmen ist, erstreckt sich die Elastomerauskleidung
vom oberen Rand 21 des Hülsenelements 5 bis
kurz vor dessen unterem Rand 22. Im Bereich des unteren Rands
22 ist eine Innenschulter 23 gebildet, an der die Unterkante
der Auskleidung 19 anliegt. Sie steht radial nach innen etwas
vor, so daß der Brausegriff von dem festeren Material des
Hülsenelements 5 nicht daran gehindert wird, das Elastomermaterial
der Auskleidung etwas zu komprimieren.As can be seen from Fig. 3, the elastomer lining extends
from the
Zur Sicherung der Festlegung des Elastomermaterials können
einzelne Vertiefungen 24 vorgesehen sein, in die das Material
eingespritzt ist. Zusätzlich können weitere Maßnahmen ergriffen
werden, die zu einem besseren Haften des Elastomermaterials
führen.To secure the determination of the elastomer material can
