  • the spherical body 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the tapered bore with two diametrically opposed bearing journals 32, as is shown in particular in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 can be seen.
  • everyone points at the front end Bearing pin 32 has a radially projecting nose 320, with which in the installation position is prevented the arms 120 of the fork 12 can spread undesirably.
  • the spherical body 3 are in the manner of a toothing rounded incisions 33 for attacking the locking element 4 trained.
  • the locking element 4 consists of a plate-shaped collar 41, on the one hand a guide pin 42 with a polygonal profile for rotationally secure reception in the axial guide 130 and on the other hand a wedge piece 43 for engaging in the incisions 33 on the spherical body. 5 and 6, a spring 40 is arranged between the inner axial guide 130 and the tubular extension 13, which is supported on the one hand in the base of the support body 1 and on the other hand on the collar 41 and thus the wedge piece 43 against the Shell surface of the spherical body 3 presses.
  • the spherical body 3 with its bearing pin 32 is pressed radially out of the fork 12 of the supporting body 1, so that the protruding nose 320 in each case engages over an arm 120 on the outer surface.
  • the protruding lugs 320 engage in a recess on the outer sides of the two arms 120.
  • the lugs with the bearing pins can also be designed such that a special depression on the outside of the arms 120 is not necessary.
  • the ball body 3 is thus only stored in the front half of the bearing bores 121 in the arms 120.
  • the bearing pins 32 are reliably guided in the bearing bores 121 by the compressive force of the spring 40.
  • a rotatable roller can also be arranged on the collar 41 with the aid of support bearings 440, as can be seen from FIGS. 18 to 20 of the drawing.
  • the rotatably arranged roller enables extremely low-wear operation of the locking element in connection with the spherical body.
  • the decorative cover 5 formed from the front sleeve 50 and the bracket piece 51 primarily serves for the shapely exterior design and the easy cleaning of the sliding piece.
  • the front sleeve 50 is provided with two opposite openings 502, into which the snap tongues 140 partially enclose.
  • Guide rails 501 are also formed on the inner sides of the front sleeve 15 for guidance on the holding rails 14.
  • latching lugs 510 are formed on the two side arms, which in the plug-in position surround the remaining area of the openings 502, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 4.
  • the front sleeve 50 also has recesses 500 which, on the one hand, allow the wall rod 6 to be passed through and, on the other hand, to deposit the hand shower connected to a hose in the various pivoting positions of the spherical body 3.
  • the bracket piece 51 also has the opening 511 on the rear, through which a rotary tool for adjusting the clamping element 2 can be inserted.
  • the bracket piece 51 has a reinforcing rib 512 with plug stops 513.
  • a slightly protruding bead 503 is also formed on both sides to enable a harmonious transition to the bracket piece 51.
  • the slide described above can be assembled in the following way: First, the clamping element 2, which has been joined together to form a structural unit, is screwed into the provided threaded hole in the supporting body 1 with the thread 230, and then the latching element 4 with the spring 40 is pushed into the shoulder 13. Then the spherical body 3 is inserted laterally into the fork 12 with the journal 32.
  • the bearing pins 32 here have inclined surfaces 321, so that the fork 12 is elastically expanded in the region of the arms 120.
  • the stop ribs 122 reach the area of the pivot stop recess 34 of the spherical body 3.
  • the arms 120 spring back into the original position, after the spherical body 3 has been released by the spring 40 the wedge piece 43 is pushed out of the fork 12 again by a short distance, so that the lugs 320 reach behind the arms 120 on the outside and rule out an undesirable spreading of the fork 12.
  • the spherical body 3 can then be pivoted in the frame of the pivot stop recess 34 around the axis of the bearing journal 32 by an angle of approximately 40 °, the wedge piece 43 engaging in the notch 33 belonging to the selected pivot position and preventing unintentional pivoting.
  • the front sleeve 50 can then be pushed onto the support body 1 from the fork side.
  • the guide rails 501 formed on the sides of the front sleeve 50 come onto the holding rails 14 formed laterally on the support body 1.
  • the snap tongues 140 are deflected in order to spring back into the openings 502 after reaching the plug position and to close the front sleeve 50 in the plug position lock.
  • the bracket piece 51 can then be pushed onto the supporting body 1 from behind.
  • the two arms of the bracket piece 51 are first expanded slightly elastically because of the locking lugs 510, in order then to snap into a remaining area of the openings 502 of the front sleeve 50 in the plug-in position, with the plug stops 513 of the reinforcing rib 512 on the end face in front of the openings 502 of the front sleeve 20 get to the plant.
  • the openings 502 are completely covered to the outside by the bracket piece 51.
  • the end regions of the bracket piece 51 abut the end on the bead 503 formed on the front sleeve 51 and thus close off the front sleeve 50 in the rear region.
  • the slide is completely assembled and can be pushed axially onto a wall bar 6 as a structural unit.
  • a turning tool can be introduced into the clamping element 2 through the opening 511. With a rotary movement of the clamping element 2, the contact pressure can then be set precisely.
  • the thread 230 is designed as a fine thread, so that a sensitive and precise setting and contact pressure is possible. Then the slider is ready for use.
  • the radial preload being set so that on the one hand the slide 1 can be easily moved by hand on the wall bar 6 and on the other hand in the desired positions on the wall bar 6 remains securely.
  • the required stiffness of the slider subsides, the required stiffness can be easily restored by adjusting the tensioning element 2.
