Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower set with a holder, which a Has a receptacle for a hand shower and a shower slide carrying the holder, the height adjustable connected to a guide rod attached to a wall is, wherein the receptacle is pivotally attached to the bracket Holding head is assigned, the pivot position of which is assigned to the holder Brake element is adjustable.
  • this document discloses a swiveling Training of the bracket, at the same time the shower slide locking compression spring also acts on the ball head of the bracket as a braking element.
  • the ball head allows the bracket to move in all directions enables.
  • the disadvantage is that a fixation of the shower slide on the guide rod strong pressure spring also causes the heavy hand shower or the bracket must hold. Therefore, a desired pivoting is only with great effort possible.
  • the invention has for its object a shower set at the beginning mentioned type to improve that their handling improves and in particular the adjustment of the bracket with the hand shower without much effort and is possible without jerking.
  • the braking element has an angled lever section relative to the holding head, via which the Brake element can be swiveled away from the holding head by pressurization is.
  • the handling and versatility regarding the swivel movement can also be improved in that between the bracket and the shower slide a swivel joint is formed for the bracket and that the joint by a sealing element arranged between the shower slide and the holder is sealed from the environment. In doing so, it should be extended Lifetime of the sealing element in a holder or in the shower slider formed groove O-ring.
  • the braking element is Conveniently designed as a locking body and thus as a locking element, the locking surface correspondingly formed with locking surfaces formed on the holding head and can be locked. In this way, a particularly robust locking device is obtained for holding the hand shower.
  • the braking element is of a resilient, connected to the bracket holding piece, so that an automatic Swinging this braking element to the holding head and thus its automatic locking is ensured in the desired position. Additionally or alternatively this automatic locking can be achieved in that the braking element via a between the joint body with swivel joint and lever section, elastic Element in the form of a spiral spring is under pressure. In this context it is just as useful if the holder is a for fixing the holding head forms necessary housing housing.
  • the invention is particularly characterized in that a simple and securely adjustable and adjustable recording head are created.
  • Any showering influences can be cleverly switched off.
  • the Individual parts of the braking element and / or the locking body are secure in one housing and elegantly housed. Handling is easy, but also overall results in a shower set that optimally meets the aesthetic conditions.
  • the shower set has one on a guide rod 1 with an oval cross section movable shower slide 2 and a bracket 3 carried by this on.
  • the bracket 3 and the shower slide 2 are each designed as a housing and connected to one another via a swivel joint 4 such that the holder 3 is opposite the shower slide 2 by a parallel to the guide rod 1 Swivel axis X is pivotable.
  • the swivel joint 4 is through the in one Housing opening 2a of the shower slide 2 engaging pin 5a one in the holder 3 seated joint body 5 formed by a pressed on it, disc-shaped locking element 6 is held in the shower slide 2 (Fig. 2).
  • the surfaces 2b, 5b of the joint body arranged in the region of the swivel joint 4 5 and the shower slide 2 are flat, with the surface 2b of the shower slide 2, a circular groove 2c is formed.
  • a locking element 8 is arranged in the area of the shower slide assigned to the rear of the guide rod 1 2, a locking element 8 is arranged.
  • the locking element 8 is tubular formed and has a through hole in the longitudinal direction double-conical cross-section, with the cross-section each facing the front Areas of the locking element 8 expanded.
  • the locking element 8 a receptacle 8a oriented transversely to its longitudinal axis for a nut 9
  • a clamping screw 10 screwed into the through hole of the locking element 8 is introduced.
  • the clamping screw 10 is in the shower slide 2 freely rotatable, because its screw head 10a with its underside at the edges a through hole 2d of the shower slide 2 for the screw neck 10b Clamping screw 10 is supported. Its top is supported on an insert 11, which is pressed into a depression 2e of the shower slide 2, which also the screw head 10a of the clamping screw 10 receives.
  • tubular locking element 8 is in the shower slide 2 Insert 12 arranged.
  • This insert 12 forms with his the one Guide rod 1 assigned surface a guide for the shower slide 2 on the Guide rod 1.
  • the insert 12 forms with the locking element 8 assigned surface a stop for the locking element 8th
  • the rear wall of the shower slide is used to install the shower set 2 as a cover 15 which can be locked with the rest of the shower slide housing 2 educated.
  • the joint body 5 is positively engaged in the housing Bracket 3 a. This points parallel to each other in its front area aligned, projecting sections 3a, which are opposite the rest of the housing Project bracket 3 and fork-shaped an approximately cylindrical recording head 16 reach around.
  • the recording head 16 is in joints 17 of the above Sections 3a rotatably mounted about a further pivot axis Y.
  • the swivel head 16 has a conically shaped receiving opening 16a for a hand shower, not shown.
  • On his back associated with the bracket 3 16b is additionally a latching surface due to notches extending parallel to one another 16c trained.
  • engage in the notches of the latching surface 16c have corresponding projections 18a Locking body 18 and prevent a pivoting movement of the receiving head 16th
  • the latching body 18 has a lever section integrally formed thereon 18b, which in a correspondingly shaped housing recess 3b of the bracket 3rd reaches in. There is a depression on the rear surface 18c of the latching body 18 18d molded in which one end one between the locking body 18 and the hinge body 5 clamped coil spring 19 is seated. With its other end it sits Coil spring 19 in a corresponding depression 5c of the joint body 5.
  • the locking body 18 Due to the force of the spiral spring 19, the locking body 18 is against the receiving head 16 pressed. As soon as in the direction of arrow P, manually press the lever section 18b of the locking body 18 is exercised, this is against the force of the coil spring 19 pivots and lifts from the latching surface 16c of the receiving head 16 from. This can now be moved freely and can be brought into the desired position. The lever section 18b is then relieved of force, so that the latching body 18 due to the force exerted by the spiral spring 19 on it automatically in the direction of the pick-up head 16 pivots back and this against further pivoting securely locked.
