Definitions

  • the invention refers to a shower bar that is made out of two profiles fitting over each other which are connected with a hinge at the top end en which are pushed outwards at the bottom end by means of an internal spring mechanism so that the showerhead support, that encloses the two profiles of the shower bar precisely, can glide down as soon as the front profile is being pushed in at the bottom end against the spring force.
  • shower bar mechanisms have a clamping device to anchor the showerhead at a certain height.
  • the showerhead support itself must be shifted in order to obtain the right height for showering.
  • people for example children, and people in a wheelchair who want to use the shower after it has been used by a grown up person with normal posture, can experience this as a problem.
  • the shower bar (1) is put together of two profiles, a back profile(2) and a front profile (3) that precisely encloses the back profile (2) at its sides.
  • the back profile (2) is fixed to the wall of the shower cabinet with two distance bushes (2a).
  • the top side of the front profile (3) is closed to prevent water coming in. Also the front profile (3) comes with a lug (4) over the back profile (2) in order that the front profile (3) hangs over the back profile and can not move away in the front direction.
  • the lug (4) has a projection (4a) that fits in a hole (5) in the back profile (2).
  • Figure 4 shows this in detail.
  • a leaf spring (6) is located which at location (7) is fixed to the front profile (3) for example with a number of welding spots.
  • the leaf spring (6) pushes the front profile (3) outwards around a hinge point at the top end of the two profiles (2 and 3) by means of lug (4) and projection (4a).
  • the profile (3) will by means of this spring force move outwards at the bottom side.
  • This movement is inhibited by the showerhead support (8) that has a usual shape at the front side wherein or whereupon a showerhead can be hung, and that fits well around the front profile (3).
  • the showerhead support has four sliding points (8a) at its backside that connect to the backside of the back profile (2) and on the inner side of the front a gliding plate or roll (8b) that connects to the front profile (3).
  • the positioning of the gliding points (8a) is such that the front profile (3) tapers out a little towards the bottom end because of the force of the spring (6).
  • the sides of the back profile (2) do widen downwards slightly to prevent space emerging at the sides between the front profile (3) and the back profile (2) when the head support (8) is located at its highest position and thus the front profile (3) has the most outward position at its bottom end.
  • the outer positions of the showerhead support are limited by the distance bushes (2a) through which the back profile (2) is mounted to the wall.
  • Eventual removal of scale or dirt between the profiles can be done in a simple way.
  • the shower bar with showerhead support according to the invention is not limited to the examples of construction as depicted in the figures and text before.
  • an other spring element can be chosen, eventually fixed to the back profile (2), if the mounting of the top distance tube (2a) remains accessible. Also possible is the mounting of an additional spring between the profiles (2 and 3) for example at the height of the pressing point (9) in the form of a compressible rubber roll or cone or such that is fixed to the back profile (2) and by which the clamping force on the showerhead support (8) in the lowest positions can be enhanced
  • the invention is not limited in use in other situations or applications.
