Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung einer Handbrause an der Wand eines Gebäudes, wobei eine an der Wand anliegende, aus einem magnetischen Werkstoff bestehende Schiene vorgesehen ist, sowie ein auf der Schiene verschieblicher, länglicher Schlitten, wobei der Schlitten einen Ausleger zur Aufnahme der Handbrause aufweist, wobei der Schlitten mindestens einen Magneten aufweist.The invention relates to a device for mounting a hand shower on the wall of a building, wherein a voltage applied to the wall rail is provided, consisting of a magnetic material rail, and a displaceable on the rail, elongated carriage, wherein the carriage is a boom for receiving the hand shower having, wherein the carriage has at least one magnet.

Zur Befestigung einer Handbrause an der Wand einer Dusche sind üblicherweise Stangen vorgesehen, die zu beiden Enden durch Arme beabstandet an der Wand befestigt sind. Die Befestigung erfolgt durch Schrauben oder Dübel, die in der Wand eingedreht werden. Die Duschstange selbst nimmt die Handbrause auf, wobei zwischen Handbrause und Stange ein sogenannter Schwenkkopf vorgesehen ist, der das Verschwenken der Handbrause in vertikaler Richtung ermöglicht. Der Schwenkkopf selbst ist verschieblich an der Stange angebracht. Um den Schwenkkopf in unterschiedlicher Höhe an der Stange fixieren zu können, ist ein Drehknopf vorgesehen, der für eine Klemmverbindung zwischen dem Schwenkkopf einerseits und der Stange andererseits sorgt.To attach a hand shower to the wall of a shower rods are usually provided, which are attached to both ends by arms spaced from the wall. They are fastened by screws or dowels, which are screwed into the wall. The shower rod itself takes on the hand shower, between hand shower and rod a so-called swivel head is provided, which allows the pivoting of the hand shower in the vertical direction. The swivel head itself is slidably mounted on the rod. In order to fix the swivel head at different heights on the rod, a knob is provided which provides for a clamping connection between the swivel head on the one hand and the rod on the other.

Eine solche Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer Handbrause weist verschiedene Nachteile auf. So ist bereits eingangs dargelegt worden, dass die Arme zur Aufnahme der Stange mittels Schrauben und Dübel in der Wand verankert werden. Da die Dusche ein sogenannter "Feuchtraum" ist, besteht immer die Gefahr, dass durch die Löcher zur Aufnahme der Schrauben bzw. Dübel Feuchtigkeit in die Wand eintritt. Dies ist in höchstem Maße unerwünscht. Darüber hinaus ist die Stange schwierig sauber zu halten. Wird nach dem Duschen die Stange nicht abgewischt, so bilden sich Kalkflecken.Such a device for receiving a hand shower has various disadvantages. Thus, it has already been stated at the outset that the arms are anchored for receiving the rod by means of screws and dowels in the wall. Since the shower is a so-called "wet room", there is always the danger that enters through the holes for receiving the screws or dowels moisture in the wall. This is highly undesirable. In addition, the rod is difficult to keep clean. If the bar is not wiped off after showering, limescale will form.

Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass die Klemmvorrichtung zwischen Stange und Schwenkkopf eine Klemmverbindung darstellt, die verschleißt.Another disadvantage is that the clamping device between the rod and the swivel head is a clamping connection that wears.

Eine Haltevorrichtung für eine Handbrause, die gut sauber zu halten ist, ist in der DE 197 10 396 A1 beschrieben. Die Halterung dort zeigt einen Schlitten mit zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordneten Magneten, die mit einer auf der Wand angeordneten ferromagnetischen Unterlage in Form einer Schiene zusammenwirken.A holding device for a hand shower, which is to keep well, is in the DE 197 10 396 A1 described. The holder there shows a carriage with two spaced-apart magnets, which cooperate with a arranged on the wall ferromagnetic support in the form of a rail.

Eine ähnliche Ausgestaltung ist aus der DE 21 09 642 bekannt, und zwar insofern, als dort ebenfalls eine Schiene dargestellt ist, auf der ein Schlitten verschieblich ist, der eine Halterung für eine Handbrause aufnimmt. Die Verbindung zwischen der Schiene einerseits und dem Schlitten andererseits erfolgt durch einen Magneten.A similar embodiment is from the DE 21 09 642 known, inasmuch as there is also shown a rail on which a carriage is slidable, which receives a holder for a hand shower. The connection between the rail on the one hand and the carriage on the other hand is made by a magnet.

Eine weitere Gestaltung der Fixierung einer Handbrause auf einer ferromagnetischen Unterlage mit Hilfe von Magneten zeigt die DE 69 01 179 .Another design of the fixation of a hand shower on a ferromagnetic base with the help of magnets shows the DE 69 01 179 ,

Nachteilig am Stand der Technik ist, dass die Handbrausen zwar durch die Magnete mehr oder weniger gut gehalten werden, dass allerdings beim Verschieben immer die Gefahr besteht, dass sich die Handbrause mit dem Schlitten von der Schiene löst, und dann erst wieder angehängt werden muss. Das heißt, eine Verschiebung des Schwenkkopfes mit dem Schlitten auf der Schiene, ohne dass sich der Schlitten von der Schiene löst, ist meistens nicht möglich, da sich dann, wenn die Magnete zu schwach sind, der Schlitten unmittelbar von der Schiene löst. Sind die Magnete hingegen so stark, dass ein Abheben von der Schiene bei der Verschiebung im Wesentlichen verhindert wird, dann steigt die Kraft zur Verschiebung gleichfalls immens an. Darüber hinaus hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Schienen auf ihrer Oberseite sehr schnell verkratzen, da, wie bekannt, Wasser kalkhaltig ist, und der Kalk insofern, wenn er sich zwischen Schiene und Schlitten absetzt, dort zum Verkratzen führt.A disadvantage of the prior art is that the hand showers are indeed more or less well held by the magnets, however, that when moving always there is a risk that the hand shower with the carriage from the rail dissolves, and then only needs to be appended again. That is, a displacement of the swivel head with the carriage on the rail, without the carriage detached from the rail, is usually not possible, since then, when the magnets are too weak, the carriage is released directly from the rail. On the other hand, if the magnets are so strong that they are substantially prevented from lifting off the rail during the displacement, then the force for displacement likewise increases immensely. In addition, it has been found that the rails scratch very quickly on their top, since, as is known, water is calcareous, and the lime insofar as it settles between the rail and slide, there leads to scratching.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht demzufolge darin, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, bei der mit relativ geringer Kraft ein Verschieben des Schlittens mit dem Brausekopf auf der Schiene bewerkstelligt werden kann, ohne dass die Gefahr des Abhebens des Schlittens von der Schiene besteht, und dass darüber hinaus auf dem sichtbaren Teil der Schiene im Wesentlichen keine Kratzer erkennbar sind.The object underlying the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which a relatively small force displacement of the carriage with the shower head on the rail can be accomplished without the risk of lifting the carriage consists of the rail, and that about it In addition, on the visible part of the rail substantially no scratches are recognizable.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Schiene den Schlitten in zwei Raumrichtungen formschlüssig erfasst. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass die Magnete nur noch erforderlich sind, um ein Abrutschen der Brause von der Schiene, insbesondere auch während des Betriebs, zu verhindern. Ein Abheben des Brausekopfes, mithin des Schlittens, von der Schiene muss hingegen durch die formschlüssige Aufnahme des Schlittens durch die Schiene nicht mehr verhindert werden. Insofern kann die Magnetkraft so gewählt werden, dass der Schlitten auch während des Betriebs der Brause in seiner Stellung verbleibt.The object is achieved in that the rail detects the carriage in two spatial directions positively. It is clear from this that the magnets are only required to prevent the shower from slipping off the rail, especially during operation. A lifting of the shower head, so the carriage, from the rail, however, must not be prevented by the positive recording of the carriage through the rail. In this respect, the magnetic force can be chosen so that the carriage remains in position during operation of the shower.

Vorteilhafte Merkmale zu der Erfindung und weitere Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den unter- und nebengeordneten Ansprüchen.Advantageous features of the invention and further embodiments will become apparent from the dependent and independent claims.

Nach einem vorteilhaften Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Schiene im Querschnitt nach Art einer Schwalbenschwanzführung ausgebildet ist, wobei der Schlitten vorteilhaft eine Kufe aufweist, die korrespondierend zu der Querschnittsform der schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildeten Schiene getroffen ist, so dass die Kufe in der Schiene verschieblich geführt ist, ansonsten allerdings zur Seite und in Frontrichtung, also aus der Ebene der Schiene heraus, durch die Schiene formschlüssig erfasst wird.According to an advantageous feature of the invention it is provided that the rail is designed in cross section in the manner of a dovetail guide, wherein the carriage advantageously has a runner, which is made to correspond to the cross-sectional shape of the dovetail-shaped rail, so that the runner guided in the rail slidably is, otherwise, however, to the side and in the front direction, ie out of the plane of the rail, is positively detected by the rail.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Kufe auf ihrer Unterseite mindestens ein, vorzugsweise zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordnete Gleitstücke aufweist. Durch die Gleitstücke, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, wird ein im Wesentlichen geräuschloses Verschieben des Schlittens auf der Schiene ermöglicht. Darüber hinaus wird die Gefahr des Verkratzens vermindert.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the runner has on its underside at least one, preferably two spaced-apart sliders. By the sliders, preferably made of plastic, a substantially silent displacement of the carriage is made possible on the rail. In addition, the risk of scratching is reduced.

Insbesondere dann, wenn das Gleitstück im Bereich der Flanken der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Schiene über die Kufe überstehend jeweils einen Gleitfuß aufweist, besteht selbst dann, wenn es im Bereich des Gleitfußes Kratzer geben sollte, keine Gefahr der visuellen Beeinträchtigung. Denn durch die Flanken der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Schiene wird dieser Bereich bei Draufsicht auf die Vorderseite der Schiene im Wesentlichen abgedeckt.In particular, if the slider in the region of the flanks of the dovetailed rail over the runner each having a Gleitfuß, there is no risk of visual impairment even if there should be scratches in the sliding foot. Because of the flanks of the dovetailed rail, this area is covered in plan view of the front of the rail substantially.

Vorteilhaft ist weiterhin, wenn sich das Gleitstück bis in den Bereich der Flanken der Kufe, und somit auch der winkligen Flanken der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Schiene, erstreckt und auch im Bereich der Flanken über die Flanken der Kufe geringfügig übersteht. Dann wird eine Reibung Metall auf Metall vermieden, da lediglich eine Verbindung Metall/Kunststoff besteht. Die Haptik beim Verschieben des Schlittens verbessert sich hierdurch deutlich.It is also advantageous if the slider extends into the region of the flanks of the runner, and thus also of the angled flanks of the dovetail-shaped rail, and also projects slightly beyond the flanks of the runner in the region of the flanks. Then a metal-to-metal friction is avoided since there is only one metal / plastic compound. The haptic when moving the carriage thereby improves significantly.

Festzuhalten ist somit, dass durch die Führung des Schlittens in einer schwalbenschwanzförmigen Nut zusammen mit der Anordnung von Gleitstücken in dem Schlitten, und hier insbesondere mit den im Bereich der Seitenflanken der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Schiene angeordneten Gleitfüßen, in Verbindung mit der Aufbringung der Kraft durch den mindestens einen Magneten, eine werthaltige Haptik beim Verschieben des Schlittens und mithin des Schwenkkopfes für die Brause selbst erzielt wird, insbesondere wenn die Gleitstücke auch im Bereich der Seitenflanken der Kufen über die Kufen leicht überstehen, und somit keine Reibung Metall auf Metall entsteht.It is thus to be noted that by guiding the carriage in a dovetail-shaped groove together with the arrangement of slides in the carriage, and here in particular with the sliding feet arranged in the region of the side edges of the dovetailed rail, in connection with the application of the force by the at least one Magnets, a valuable haptic when moving the carriage and thus the swivel head for the shower itself is achieved, especially when the sliders easily overhang in the area of the side edges of the runners on the skids, and thus no metal to metal friction occurs.

Die Vorrichtung zur Halterung einer Handbrause an der Wand eines Gebäudes umfasst die Schiene 1, sowie einen Schlitten 10 mit einem Ausleger 20, der endseitig einen Schwenkkopf 22 zur Aufnahme der Handbrause aufzeigt, die nicht dargestellt ist. Die Schiene 1 ist im Querschnitt nach Art einer Schwalbenschwanzführung ausgebildet, wie sich dies beispielsweise in Ansicht der Schnittdarstellung gemäß Figur 2 ergibt. Die aus ferromagnetischem Stahl hergestellte Schiene 1, die beispielsweise auch verchromt sein kann, oder aber aus Edelstahl besteht, nimmt den mit 10 bezeichneten Schlitten auf (Fig. 2). Der Schlitten 10 ist korrespondierend zu der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Schiene 1 mit einer entsprechend ausgebildeten Kufe 11 versehen, und wird von der Schiene 1 in zwei Raumrichtungen formschlüssig aufgenommen, nämlich zum einen in seitlicher Richtung und zum anderen in Richtung aus der Schiene 1 heraus. Zur Aufnahme durch die schwalbenschwanzförmige Schiene 1 besitzt demzufolge die Kufe 11 des Schlittens 10 zu beiden Seiten parallel zur Längsachse winklig ausgerichtete Seitenflanken 11a.The device for holding a hand shower on the wall of a building comprises the rail 1, and a carriage 10 with a boom 20, the ends of a swivel head 22 for receiving the hand shower shows, which is not shown. The rail 1 is formed in cross section in the manner of a dovetail guide, as shown for example in the sectional view according to FIG FIG. 2 results. The rail 1 made of ferromagnetic steel, which may also be chromed, for example, or consists of stainless steel, receives the designated 10 carriage on Fig. 2 ). The carriage 10 is provided corresponding to the dovetailed rail 1 with a correspondingly formed runner 11, and is positively received by the rail 1 in two spatial directions, namely on the one hand in the lateral direction and on the other in the direction of the rail 1 out. For receiving through the dovetail-shaped rail 1 Consequently, the skid 11 of the carriage 10 has side flanks 11a which are aligned at an angle to both sides parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Darüber hinaus weist der Schlitten 10 in etwa mittig den Magneten 12 auf, und zwar vorzugsweise in der Flucht des Auslegers 20 auf der Unterseite des Schlittens oder der Kufe. Zu beiden Enden der Kufe 11 des Schlittens 10 sind sogenannte Gleitstücke 15 auf der Unterseite der Kufe 11 in der Kufe 11 eingelassen. Ein jedes Gleitstück 15 weist am seitlichen Ende einen Gleitfuß 16 auf, dessen Breite allerdings so gewählt ist, dass er durch die Flanken 1 a der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Schiene 1 abgedeckt wird. Auf den Gleitfüßen 16 der Gleitstücke gleitet die Kufe auf der Schiene. Das bedeutet, dass, wenn in dem Bereich der Gleitschuhe 16 Kratzer auf der Schiene 1 hervorgerufen würden, diese bei Ansicht auf die Schiene 1 kaum sichtbar wären. Erkennbar ist aus Figur 3a darüber hinaus, dass sich das Gleitstück 15 über die Höhe der schwalbenschwanzförmigen Seitenflanken 11a der Kufe erstreckt. Auch im Bereich der Flanken 11 a steht das Gleitstück 15 etwas über, so dass die Kufe 11 des Schlittens 10, der aus Metall ausgebildet ist, aufgrund der Gleitstücke15 in keinem Fall unmittelbar mit der Schiene 1 in Kontakt kommt, sondern der Kontakt nur über die Gleitstücke 15 erfolgt, und zwar sowohl auf der Schiene als auch im Bereich der Seitenflanken der Schiene, und verhindert, dass eine Reibung Metall auf Metall erfolgt. Die Schiene 1 nimmt die Kufe 11 des Schlittens 10 im Wesentlichen spielfrei auf, woraus sich in Verbindung mit der Tatsache, dass die Kufe lediglich durch die Gleitstücke 15 aus Kunststoff mit der Schiene 1 in Verbindung steht, die bereits zuvor beschriebene vorteilhafte Haptik beim Verschieben des Schlittens 10 in der Schiene 1 ergibt.In addition, the carriage 10 approximately in the middle of the magnet 12, and preferably in the alignment of the boom 20 on the underside of the carriage or the skid. At both ends of the runner 11 of the carriage 10 so-called sliders 15 are embedded on the underside of the runner 11 in the runner 11. Each slider 15 has at the lateral end of a Gleitfuß 16, the width of which, however, is chosen so that it is covered by the flanks 1 a of the dovetailed rail 1. On the sliding feet 16 of the sliders slides the runner on the rail. This means that if scratches were caused on the rail 1 in the region of the sliding shoes 16, they would hardly be visible when viewed on the rail 1. Recognizable is off FIG. 3a moreover, that the slider 15 extends over the height of the dovetail-shaped side edges 11a of the runner. Also in the region of the flanks 11 a, the slider 15 is slightly over, so that the runner 11 of the carriage 10, which is formed of metal, due to the Gleit1515 in no case comes directly in contact with the rail 1, but the contact only on the Sliders 15 takes place, both on the rail and in the region of the side edges of the rail, and prevents a metal-to-metal friction. The rail 1 receives the runner 11 of the carriage 10 substantially free of play, resulting in connection with the fact that the runner is connected only by the sliders 15 made of plastic with the rail 1, the previously described advantageous feel when moving the Carriage 10 in the rail 1 results.

Die Befestigung der Schiene 1 an der Wand ist Gegenstand der Figuren 4, 5 und 6; bei der Darstellung gemäß Figur 4 ist die Schiene 1 auf der Unterlage 40, beispielsweise einer Steinplatte oder einer Fliese, mittels einer Kleberschicht 41 verklebt; zwischen der Platte 40 und der Rohwand 43 befindet sich darüber hinaus eine weitere Kleberschicht 44 zur Befestigung der Platte auf der Rohwand.The attachment of the rail 1 to the wall is the subject of FIGS. 4 . 5 and 6 ; in the presentation according to FIG. 4 is the rail 1 on the base 40, for example, a stone slab or tile by means of glued to an adhesive layer 41; between the plate 40 and the raw wall 43 is also a further adhesive layer 44 for fixing the plate on the blank wall.

Denkbar ist ebenfalls eine Verschraubung mittels einer Schraube 42, die in der Schiene 1 versenkt ist. Zur Befestigung der Schraube 42 kann auf der Rückseite der Schiene 1 eine Nut 1 b zur formschlüssigen Aufnahme des Kopfes der Schraube 42 vorgesehen sein (Fig. 4a). Zur Montage wird hierbei derart vorgegangen, dass zunächst die Schraube oder Schrauben
in die Wand eingedreht werden, der Kopf der Schraube einen Abstand zur Wandoberseite aufweist, und dann die Schiene 1 mit der Nut 1 b, die ebenfalls schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet sein kann, aufgeschoben wird.
Also conceivable is a screw by means of a screw 42 which is sunk in the rail 1. For fastening the screw 42 may be provided on the back of the rail 1, a groove 1 b for positive reception of the head of the screw 42 ( Fig. 4a ). For mounting, this procedure is such that initially the screw or screws
are screwed into the wall, the head of the screw has a distance from the top wall, and then the rail 1 with the groove 1 b, which may also be dovetail-shaped, is pushed.

Figur 5 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung, bei der die Schiene 1 in die Wand eingelassen ist. Dazu besitzt eine z. B. geflieste die Wand 43 eine Ausnehmung 47 in der Unterlage 40, worin die Schiene beispielsweise mittels Kunstharz 48 eingegossen ist. FIG. 5 shows a sectional view in which the rail 1 is embedded in the wall. For this purpose has a z. B. tiled the wall 43 has a recess 47 in the base 40, wherein the rail is cast, for example by means of synthetic resin 48.

Bei der Darstellung gemäß Figur 6 weist die Schiene 1 zu beiden Seiten zwei von der Oberseite nach unten abgesetzte Flügel 5 auf, wobei die Flügel 5 mehrere Öffnungen 5a besitzen. Die Funktion der Öffnungen 5a besteht zum einen darin, dass die Kleberschicht 44 die Öffnung durchdringt und somit nach Aushärten der Kleberschicht für eine stabile Verbindung mit der Schiene 1 auf der Wand 43 sorgt. Zum anderen können durch die Öffnungen durchgehende Schrauben (Pfeil 5b) vorgesehen sein. Denkbar ist auch Verschraubung mit Verklebung. Zwischen der Schiene 1 und dem
Wandbelag 40, zum Beispiel einer Platte oder einer Fliese, befindet sich oberflächenbündig eine Silikonfuge 49.
In the presentation according to FIG. 6 The rail 1 has on both sides two wings 5 which are offset from the upper side downwards, the wings 5 having a plurality of openings 5a. The function of the openings 5a is firstly that the adhesive layer 44 penetrates the opening and thus provides for curing of the adhesive layer for a stable connection to the rail 1 on the wall 43. On the other hand, through the openings continuous screws (arrow 5b) may be provided. It is also conceivable screw with bonding. Between the rail 1 and the
Wall covering 40, for example a plate or a tile, is flush with the surface of a silicone joint 49.
