Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe bestehend demzufolge darin, eine Duscheinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, bei der auf einfache Art und Weise die Führung eines Schlittens zur Aufnahme einer Handbrause ohne Verkratzen der Sichtflächen der Führungsschiene gewährleistet ist. Darüber hinaus soll eine ruckfreie Verschiebung des Schlittens in der Schiene ermöglicht werden.The object underlying the invention therefore consisting to provide a shower device of the type mentioned, in a simple manner, the leadership of a carriage for receiving a hand shower without scratching the visible surfaces of the guide rail is guaranteed. In addition, a jerk-free displacement of the carriage in the rail to be made possible.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die an beiden Seiten der verschieblichen Schlittenkufe angeordneten Führungsglieder in entsprechenden in den beiden Schenkeln der im Querschnitt U-förmigen Schiene angeordneten Führungsnuten lagern. Das heißt, die eigentlichen Gleitflächen sind von außen nicht sichtbar, sodass auch keine Kratzspuren erkennbar sind. Die Führungsnuten sind bevorzugt bogenförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Führungsglieder korrespondierend hierzu ausgebildet sind, also ebenfalls eine bogenförmige Anlagefläche zur Anlage an der Führungsnut aufweisen. Von der Erfindung umfasst sind allerdings auch eckige Führungsnuten oder auch Führungsnuten in Schwalbenschwanzform; die Führungsglieder sind dann ebenfalls entsprechend ausgebildet. Der Vorteil einer bogenförmigen Ausgestaltung der Führungsnuten und der Führungsschienen besteht in der leichteren Reinigung und der selbsttätigen Zentrierung.To achieve the object, the invention proposes that the guide members arranged on both sides of the displaceable slide skid be mounted in corresponding guide grooves arranged in the two legs of the cross-sectionally U-shaped rail. That is, the actual sliding surfaces are not visible from the outside, so that no scratch marks are visible. The guide grooves are preferably formed arcuate, wherein the guide members are formed corresponding thereto, ie also an arcuate contact surface for Have plant on the guide groove. However, the invention also includes angular guide grooves or guide grooves in dovetail form; the guide members are then also formed accordingly. The advantage of an arcuate configuration of the guide and guide rails is the easier cleaning and automatic centering.
Insbesondere ist die Anordnung der Führungsnuten derart, dass der Schlitten allseitig einen Abstand zu der Führungsschiene aufweist, d. h. bis auf die Führungsglieder mit der Führungsschiene nicht in Kontakt steht. Dadurch, dass lediglich die Führungsglieder mit der Schiene in Kontakt stehen, wird eine ruckfreie Verschiebung des Schlittens ermöglicht.In particular, the arrangement of the guide grooves is such that the carriage on all sides has a distance from the guide rail, d. H. is not in contact with the guide rail except for the guide members. The fact that only the guide members are in contact with the rail, a jerk-free displacement of the carriage is made possible.
Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung sind die Führungsnuten im Querschnitt bogenförmig ausgebildet, wobei korrespondierend hierzu das Führungsglied einen im Querschnitt bogenförmigen Kopf aufweist. Hierdurch wird eine quasi automatische Zentrierung des Schlittens in den Führungsnuten gewährleistet, was zur Folge hat, dass der Schlitten spielfrei in der Schiene geführt ist.According to a further feature of the invention, the guide grooves are arc-shaped in cross-section, wherein corresponding thereto the guide member has a cross-sectionally arcuate head. As a result, a quasi-automatic centering of the carriage is ensured in the guide grooves, which has the consequence that the carriage is guided without play in the rail.
Nach einem weiteren, besonders vorteilhaften Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Schlitten quer zur Längsachse der Führungsschiene derart verschiebbar ist, dass mindestens ein Führungsglied auf einer Seite der Schlittenkufe außer Eingriff mit der diesem mindestens einem Führungsglied zugeordneten Führungsnut gelangt. Die Herausnahme des Schlittens aus der Führungsschiene ist so auf einfache Art und Weise möglich. Wie aus dem Stand der Technik bereits hinreichend bekannt ist, wird üblicherweise die Führungsschiene zur Aufnahme des Schlittens für eine Handbrause als eine Konstruktion ausgestaltet, die auf der Wand angeordnet ist. Dies ist im Wesentlichen nicht mehr zeitgemäß, unter anderem auch deshalb, weil solche auf der Wand aufbauenden Führungsschienen schwierig zu reinigen sind. Wird eine Schiene allerdings in der Wand eingelassen, dann kann der Schlitten zu Reinigungszwecken oder auch zum Zwecke des Austausches nicht mehr so ohne Weiteres aus der Schiene herausgenommen werden, da die Enden der Schiene nicht freiliegen. Wenn nun allerdings der Schlitten quer zur Längsachse der Führungsschiene verschieblich ist, und zwar derart verschieblich ist, dass das mindestens eine Führungsglied auf der einen Seite der Schlittenkufe außer Eingriff mit der diesem mindestens einen Führungsglied zugeordneten Führungsnut gelangt, dann ist insofern eine einfache Möglichkeit des Ausbaues des Schlittens aus der Führungsschiene gegeben. Gleiches gilt in äquivalenter Weise für den Einbau des Schlittens in die Führungsschiene. Hierauf wird an anderer Stelle noch näher eingegangen werden.According to a further, particularly advantageous feature of the invention it is provided that the carriage is displaceable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail such that at least one guide member on one side of the carriage skid disengages from the guide groove associated with this at least one guide member. The removal of the carriage from the guide rail is possible in a simple manner. As is well known in the art, usually the guide rail for receiving the slide for a hand shower is designed as a construction disposed on the wall. This is essentially no longer up to date, partly because such build on the wall Guide rails are difficult to clean. However, if a rail is embedded in the wall, then the carriage for cleaning purposes or even for the purpose of replacement can not be so easily removed from the rail, as the ends of the rail are not exposed. However, if now the carriage is displaceable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail, and that is displaceable such that the at least one guide member on the one side of the carriage blade out of engagement with this at least one guide member associated guide, then a simple way of removal is so far given the carriage from the guide rail. The same applies in an equivalent way for the installation of the carriage in the guide rail. This will be discussed in more detail elsewhere.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist das mindestens auf einer Seite der Schlittenkufe angeordnete mindestens eine Führungsglied in Richtung des Schlittens beweglich von dem Schlitten aufnehmbar. Das heißt, dass das Führungsglied in Richtung der Kufe des Schlittens beweglich an der Längskante der Kufe des Schlittens angeordnet ist. Insbesondere ist in diesem Zusammenhang vorgesehen, dass das Führungsglied mindestens einen Führungsfinger zur Aufnahme durch eine Aussparung in der Schlittenkufe aufweist. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass durch den Führungsfinger das Führungsglied in der Aussparung der Schlittenkufe beweglich geführt ist. In diesem Zusammenhang ist in der Aussparung zur Aufnahme des Führungsfingers vorteilhaft ein Federelement angeordnet, beispielsweise eine Druckfeder, sodass das Führungsglied quer zur Längsachse der Führungsschiene entgegen der Kraft der Feder beweglich durch die Schlittenkufe aufnehmbar ist. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass wenn der Schlitten quer zur Längsachse der Führungsschiene in der Führungsschiene verschoben wird, sich das Führungsglied auf der einen Seite in Richtung auf die Kufe des Schlittens zubewegen wird, wobei dann, wenn das gegenüberliegende Führungsglied freiliegt, d. h. aus der entsprechenden Führungsnut herausgelangt der Schlitten von der Führungsschiene abgenommen werden kann.In this connection, the at least one guide member arranged at least on one side of the carriage is movably receivable by the carriage in the direction of the carriage. This means that the guide member is arranged in the direction of the runner of the carriage movable on the longitudinal edge of the runner of the carriage. In particular, it is provided in this context that the guide member has at least one guide finger for receiving through a recess in the carriage skid. From this it is clear that the guide member is movably guided in the recess of Schlittenkufe by the guide finger. In this context, a spring element is advantageously arranged in the recess for receiving the guide finger, for example a compression spring, so that the guide member is movable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail against the force of the spring movably received by the Schlittenkufe. From this it is clear that when the carriage is moved transversely to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail in the guide rail, the guide member will move on one side in the direction of the runner of the carriage, in which case, when the opposite guide member is exposed, that is, out of the corresponding guide groove, the carriage can be removed from the guide rail.
Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich herausgestellt, wenn das Führungsglied nach Art einer Kopfleiste ausgebildet ist, wobei die Kopfleiste mehrere Führungsfinger, die insbesondere in Reihe angeordnet sind, aufweist, die durch entsprechende ebenfalls in Reihe angeordneter Aussparungen in der Schlittenkufe aufgenommen werden. Die Verwendung einer Kopfleiste hat den Vorteil, dass eine Verkantung des Schlittens bei Verschiebung in der Schiene vermieden wird, da die Anlage- oder Gleitflächen entsprechend lang sind. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, auf jeder Leiste des Schlittens, d. h. zu jeder Seite der Schlittenkufe unter Umständen auch mehrere derartige Kopfleisten, insbesondere zwei Kopfleisten hintereinander anzuordnen, die für die Führung und die Fixierung des Schlittens in der Führungsschiene sorgen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Federelemente mit der zumindest auf einer Seite der Schlittenkufe das mindestens eine Führungsglied beaufschlagt wird, nicht nur dazu dienen, einen entsprechenden Verschiebeweg bei Bewegung des Schlittens quer zur Längsachse der Führungsschiene zu ermöglichen, sondern dass darüber hinaus durch die Anzahl und Art der Federelemente auch die Druckkraft einstellbar ist, mit welcher die Führungsglieder zu beiden Seiten der Kufe des Schlittens in die entsprechende Führungsnut gedrückt werden. Da das mindestens eine Führungsglied lösbar mit dem Schlitten in Verbindung steht, können nach Entnahme des Führungsgliedes durch einfachen Austausch von Federn unterschiedlicher Federkraft oder durch die Anzahl der eingesetzten Federn auch unterschiedliche Anpressdrücke bewerkstelligt werden. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass auf verhältnismäßig einfache Art und Weise eine Veränderung der Anpresskraft, beispielsweise bei Verschleiß der insbesondere aus einem Kunststoff bestehenden Führungsglieder vorgenommen werden kann. Auch kann durch die Auswahl und/oder Anzahl der Federn die Haltekraft des Schlittens in der Schiene an das Gewicht der Handbrause angepasst werden, denn diese sind je nach Typ unterschiedlich schwer. Hierbei ist auch zu berücksichtigen, dass die Reibkraft zwischen den Führungsgliedern des Schlittens und der Schiene so stark eingestellt wird, dass der Schlitten nicht nur sicher in der Schiene gehalten wird, sondern der Schlitten sich noch leichtgängig in der Schiene bewegen lässt.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the guide member is designed in the manner of a head strip, the head strip having a plurality of guide fingers, which are arranged in particular in series, which are received by corresponding also arranged in series recesses in the carriage. The use of a header has the advantage that a tilting of the carriage is avoided when moving in the rail, since the investment or sliding surfaces are correspondingly long. In particular, it may be provided to arrange on each bar of the carriage, ie on each side of the carriage skid under certain circumstances several such head strips, in particular two head strips in a row, which provide for the guidance and the fixation of the carriage in the guide rail. In this context, it should be pointed out that the spring elements are acted upon by the at least one side of the Schlittenkufe the at least one guide member, not only serve to allow a corresponding displacement when moving the carriage transverse to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail, but that beyond the number and type of spring elements and the pressure force is adjustable with which the guide members are pressed on both sides of the runner of the carriage in the corresponding guide groove. Since the at least one guide member is releasably connected to the carriage, after removal of the guide member by simple exchange of springs of different spring force or by the number of springs used also different contact pressures can be accomplished. It is clear that in a relatively simple manner, a change in the contact pressure, for example, in the case of wear of the existing in particular of a plastic guide members can be made. Also can be adjusted by the selection and / or number of springs, the holding force of the carriage in the rail to the weight of the hand shower, because these are different heavy depending on the type. It should also be noted that the frictional force between the guide members of the carriage and the rail is set so strong that the carriage is not only held securely in the rail, but the carriage can still move smoothly in the rail.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die Schlittenkufe auf einer Seite einen seitlichen Verschiebeweg zu dem zu der Schlittenkufe benachbarten einen Schenkel der Führungsschiene aufweist. Dieser Abstand ist größer, als die Tiefe der Führungsnut in dem anderen, gegenüberliegenden Schenkel der Führungsschiene. Des Weiteren weist das Führungsglied im Bereich des einen Schenkels der Führungsschiene einen Verschiebeweg in Richtung zur Schlittenkufe auf, der ebenfalls in etwa der Tiefe der Führungsnut in dem anderen Schenkel der Führungsschiene entspricht. Oder anders ausgedrückt bedeutet dies, dass wenn das eine Führungsglied auf einer Seite des Schlittens in der Kufe federbelastet quer zur Längsachse der Schiene beweglich durch die Kufe aufgenommen ist, dann ein seitlicher Abstand zwischen der Kufe einerseits und dem Schenkel der im Querschnitt U-förmigen Führungsschiene vorhanden sein muss, der in etwa der Tiefe der Führungsnut zur Aufnahme des Führungsgliedes im gegenüberliegenden Schenkel der Führungsschiene entspricht. Entsprechendes gilt, wenn das Führungsglied einen Kopf oder eine Kopfleiste zeigt, die über den Führungsfinger übersteht, da in einem solchen Fall der Kopf den Anschlag für den Schlitten bildet.In this context, it is provided in particular that the carriage skid on one side has a lateral displacement path to the adjacent to the carriage skid one leg of the guide rail. This distance is greater than the depth of the guide groove in the other, opposite leg of the guide rail. Furthermore, the guide member in the region of the one leg of the guide rail has a displacement path in the direction of the slide runner, which likewise corresponds approximately to the depth of the guide groove in the other leg of the guide rail. In other words, if the one guide member on one side of the carriage in the runner spring-loaded transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rail is movably received by the runner, then a lateral distance between the runner on the one hand and the leg of the cross-sectionally U-shaped guide rail must be present, which corresponds approximately to the depth of the guide groove for receiving the guide member in the opposite leg of the guide rail. The same applies if the guide member shows a head or a header, which projects beyond the guide finger, since in such a case the head forms the stop for the carriage.
Denkbar ist in diesem Zusammenhang ebenfalls eine Ausführungsform, bei dem die Kopfleisten zu beiden Seiten der Kufe des Schlittens jeweils federbelastet in den entsprechenden Aussparungen gelagert sind, wobei bei einer solchen Ausführungsform der Abstand der Kufe zu den beiden Schenkeln der Führungsschiene gleich gewählt sein kann, er muss lediglich derart bemessen sein, dass zumindest die mindestens eine Kopfleiste auf einer Seite der Schlittenkufe außer Eingriff mit der sie aufnehmenden Führungsnut gelangen kann.Also conceivable in this context is an embodiment in which the head strips on both sides of the runner of the carriage respectively spring-loaded are mounted in the corresponding recesses, wherein in such an embodiment, the distance of the blade to the two legs of the guide rail can be chosen the same, it must only be dimensioned such that at least the at least one head strip on one side of the carriage blade out of engagement with the they can get receiving guide groove.
