  • the through hole 30 can also have a certain out-of-roundness, as a result of which a slight elastic deformation and thus a play-free reception can also be achieved when the wall tube 1 is inserted.
  • a bore 31 for receiving a fastening screw 8 is formed radially to the through opening 30.
  • the bore 31 initially has a diameter which is larger than the diameter of the screw head 80. This region is followed by an expanding undercut 32, after which the bore 31 has a cross section as an elongated hole 31a, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 5. is continued.
  • the elongated hole 31a has a small width that is somewhat larger than the diameter of the screw shaft 81.
  • This configuration of the bore 31 makes it possible for the fastening screw 8, as is shown in particular in FIG. 1 for the lower bracket 2, to be introduced with the screw head 80 into the area in the undercut 32, so that in this fastening position only the bracket 2 is fastened to the wall 9 by the screw 8.
  • the wall bar tube 1 is provided with a radial bore 10, and a washer 5 with a larger outside diameter than the diameter of the bore 31 is provided on the fastening screw 8, the wall bar tube 1 can also be axially fastened with the one bracket 2 using the fastening screw 8, as shown in particular in FIG.
  • a holding rail 33 is formed on each side of the supporting body 3, a stop 330 being formed in each case in the end region.
  • a resilient latching tongue 34 is formed on the support body 3 parallel to the holding rails 33.
  • the decorative hood 4 provided for the decorative design of the surface and for easy cleaning of the brackets 2, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2, 22 and 23, is provided with guide rails 40 for mounting on the support body 3.
  • the decorative hood 4 in the region of the guide rails each has a locking lug 41 with which the decorative hood 4 is locked in the plug-in position on the support body 3.
  • a slot 42 is also formed on the end face of the decorative hood 4, which can be closed with a cap 45, as is shown in particular in FIGS. 24 to 26, with the aid of latching tongues 450.
  • the decorative hood 4 has a through opening 43 for the passage of the wall tube 1.
  • the end regions of the wall tube 1 protruding laterally from the brackets 2 are provided with plugs 6a, 6b which are held in the interior of the wall tube 1.
  • the upper plug 6a shown in FIG. 1 is, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 8 to 10, connected to the washer 5 laterally via a tab 51 and is preferably made in one piece from plastic by injection molding.
  • an axial groove 12 is formed on each of the end faces of the wall rod tube 1, into which the plug 6a, 6b each has a lug 63 in the inserted position.
  • a holding pin 61 is also formed, on which a decorative cover cap 7a, 7b can be fastened.
  • a locking pin 601 is also formed on a one-armed spring member 60, which engages in the plug-in position in a radial bore 11 of the wall tube 1.
  • the lower plug 6b shown in FIG. 1, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 11 to 13, is provided with a two-armed spring element 60, on which the locking pin 601 is formed.
  • the plug 6b is thus essentially held axially in the wall rod 1 by the locking pin 601.
