Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wall mount for a hand shower according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such wall bars have long been known. They have the advantage that the height of the showerhead can be adjusted to the height of the body, whereby it is also possible to take a shower while seated. The hand shower can also be removed from the holder and used to bruise a body.
  • the disadvantage of such mounting methods for hand showers is that the shower hose is always adapted to the maximum adjustment, usually even longer, so that it hangs disturbing down when attaching the hand shower to the wall bar.
  • a slider is attached to a vertically extending wall rod, to which a pivotally connected thereto shower head is mounted.
  • the supply line to this shower head is via a hose ( DE 27 20 507 ).
  • the shower head can not be removed.
  • a wall bar ( EP0076717 ) from a fixed part and one opposite the fixed part after is constructed above outstanding telescopically guided displaceable part. At the upper end of the sliding part of the handle of a hand shower is attached, which receives her shower water through a hose.
  • shower holder is arranged at the end of a multi-part, multi-joint wall bar a fork for inserting the handle of a shower.
  • a guide rail is present, which is limited in the region of its upper end of a structural unit. This unit is used to connect the massage shower to the house installation. An overhead shower can be hung on the top of this unit.
  • EP 0 103 145 A2 is a portable shower facility for camping or similar purposes disclosed.
  • a connected via a hose hand shower is connected to a tripod, which can be attached at any point, for example with a screw.
  • the invention is based on the object to extend the application and use of a shower and improve.
  • the invention proposes a wall mount for a hand shower with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the holder for the hand shower is usually a separate part, which is also noticeable as a partially disturbing element
  • the invention provides to form the holder so that it forms a continuation of the wall bar.
  • the holder is arranged in extension of the wall bar. This creates a visually appealing, not the overall impression of the wall rod disturbing, but complementary image.
  • the hand shower which has a handle and a shower hose, can be inserted into the holder.
  • the holder is designed as a tube open to the rear and / or to the side with a cone holder for the hand shower handle at the outer end.
  • the cone holder which is known per se, serves to insert the handle of the hand shower.
  • the tube is bent, wherein preferably the center line of the holder lies in a plane in which optionally also the axis of the wall bar itself is located.
  • the curved shape of the wall bar is optically continued and created the possibility that the hand shower used in the holder with its shower head pointing down.
  • the curved shape also makes it possible to hold the shower hose leading to the hand shower so that it does not bother much.
  • the opening on the back and / or on the side of the tube is advantageously used to accommodate the shower hose during this process in the pipe, so that it is housed protected and does not bother. This possibility can be further improved by the fact that the opening has the shape of an undercut slot.
  • the invention provides that the holder for the hand shower can be designed as an upper continuation of the wall bar, so that the hand shower used in the holder can act as overhead shower. But it can still be removed from the holder and used as a hand shower.
  • the holder is pivotally mounted, preferably about the longitudinal axis of the wall bar or about an axis parallel thereto. It is thereby possible to adjust the shower head of the hand shower mounted in the holder to the right or to the left from a central position. Especially in the attachment of such a wall bracket to a bathtub, it is possible in this way that the user can stand in different places of the bathtub.
  • the at least one wall support is formed bent. This bend creates a space in which the shower hose between the wall bar and the vertical surface can hang down so that it disturbs even less.
  • the at least one wall support is arranged laterally offset relative to the wall rod by at least half the diameter of the hose leading to the hand shower.
  • the pivot bearing of the shower holder can be arranged in the wall support.
  • the pivot bearing can be designed such that the pivoting of the holder is limited before reaching the vertical surface on which the wall bar is attached by means of the wall supports. It is prevented in this way, the contact between the hand shower and the wall and avoided. At the same time it is also ensured that the shower jets do not hit the wall, but the person who takes a shower.
  • the pivot bearing is provided with a detent that prefers certain positions of the holder.
  • the holder stops in the neutral position.
  • the wall mount can have an additional hose guide, which is preferably arranged behind the wall bar, ie between the wall bar and the wall.
  • the hand shower can can be attached to the wall bar itself another bracket for the hand shower to lock in a lower position, the hand shower can.
  • This additional bracket can also be pivoted about the wall bar and also height adjustable. It is preferably provided that the Twist around the wall bar regardless of whether the wall bar is twisted.
  • a wall bar To attach a wall bar is normally provided that two wall supports are used. But it is also conceivable to assemble a wall bar from more than one part, for example two pipe sections, so that then optionally three wall supports can be used.
  • wall mount contains as a central element a tube 1, which is provided in the region of its lower end with a bearing insert 2.
  • the bearing insert 2 is inserted from below into the tube 1 and abuts with an outwardly directed flange 3 at the front edge of the tube.
  • the tube In the region of its upper end, the tube also has a bearing insert 4, which is inserted from above into the tube. From the upper end of the tube 1, a part 5 of the bearing insert protrudes out. This outstanding part 5 of the bearing insert 4 corresponds in its outer dimensions to the inner dimensions of the bearing insert second
  • each wall support 6 includes a screwed to the wall base plate 7, the stepped holes 8 has. Through the stepped bore 8 screws can be screwed, the screw heads then come to rest in the extended part of the stepped bore 8. With this base plate 7, a strut 18 is connected. On the outer, that is the foot plate 7 facing away from the end of the strut 18 is a bearing element 9 is formed, which has an upwardly directed reduced diameter cylindrical portion 10 and a lower portion 11 with an inner bore 12. The dimensions of the inner bore 12 corresponding to the outer dimensions of the projecting part 5 of the bearing insert 4 in the upper part of the tube. 1
  • the tube 1 is pushed with its bearing insert 2 on the reduced diameter bearing lug 10 of the wall support 6 until the bearing insert 2 comes to rest on the shoulder 13 in the transition between the two parts 11, 10 of the wall support 6.
  • the outer circumference of the lower part 11 of the bearing 9 of the wall support 6 corresponds to the outer diameter of the tube 1, so that in this way a continuation of the outer shape of the tube to the lower end of the wall support 6 takes place.
  • the tube 1 is fixed between the two wall supports 6.
  • Both wall supports 6 are identical.
  • the holder 20 is placed for the shower head.
  • the holder 20 has the shape of a slotted to the rear pipe.
  • a bearing insert 2 is also used, similar to the lower end of the tube 1 of the wall rod.
  • a connection is fixed to the wall support 6.
  • the connection between the projecting part 10 of the bearing of the wall support 6 and the bearing insert 2 of the pipe section 21 can be designed so that a rotation about both axes can take place, optionally with a lock in certain positions.
  • the upper end of the bent pipe section 21 has a cone holder 22 for the handle of a hand shower.
  • This cone holder is known per se, so that it is not explained in detail.
  • the shower hose can be guided through the interior of the pipe section 21 up to the connection with the wall support 6. From this point he can hang down freely, where he then comes to rest in the area between the wall bar and the base plates of the wall supports 6. At this point, he can hang freely without disturbing.
  • FIG. 2 shows that an additional bracket 30 for a hand shower can still be attached to the wall bar forming tube 1.
  • the holder is pushed as a sleeve 31 on the tube 1 before its assembly by means of the wall supports 6. It may have spring elements, so that their once occupied position is maintained both in the axial direction of the wall bar and in the circumferential direction.
  • the front support opening 32 may optionally also order a horizontal axis can be additionally twisted.
  • the hand shower which is removed from the holder 20 at the upper end of the wall bar, can then be hung in the holder 30.
  • FIG. 3 shows in one opposite the Figures 1 and 2 enlarged scale in perspective, a wall support, as used to attach the tube 1.
  • the foot plates 7 are elongated formed with a lower rounding. The longitudinal edges are perpendicular when mounted on the wall from top to bottom. In the area of a longitudinal side edge of the web 18 is attached, which extends at right angles to the back of the base plate 7. The back of the base plate 7 is intended for surface contact with the wall.
  • the mentioned reduced in diameter approach 10 has a slightly more complicated shape than that from the simplified representation of FIGS. 1 and 2 evident. Its outer contour has a diameter which corresponds to the inner diameter of the lower opening 12.
  • this web Due to the lateral offset of the web 18 relative to the base plate and in particular with respect to the bearing 9, this web is also offset laterally relative to the wall rod. As a result, a hose hanging directly behind the wall bar has space to be accommodated in the room here.
  • the hand shower which practically forms an overhead shower, can be pivoted to the right and left. It can also be taken out and used as a normal hand shower.
  • the Arrangement combines the advantages of a fixed overhead shower with the advantage of a hand-held without a holder hand shower.
