Description

The present invention relates to a support flap handle assembly with a mounting plate for wall mounting the assembly to a mounting wall, wherein the mounting plate is provided with a bearing block for forming a pivot bearing assembly with a pivot axis between the mounting plate and a handle tube end of a handle tube, which between a non-use position, in the the handle tube is in a pivoted against a mounting wall assembly, and a use position in which the handle tube is cantilevered from the mounting wall, is pivotable, wherein the bearing block for forming the pivot bearing assembly receives a trained Griffrohrende fitting between bearing cheeks.

Support folding-arm arrangements of the type mentioned are used as aids in particular in the field of sanitary facilities and should allow by their variable configuration in particular elderly and / or handicapped people to support or secure their balance when using the sanitary facilities.

From the EP 1 093 751 A2 For example, there is known a support flap handle assembly having an embodiment with a handle tube formed of round stock that is pivotable relative to a mounting plate that allows wall mounting of the support flap handle assembly. For wall mounting, the known support flap handle assembly on a mounting plate which is provided with a steel core, which is covered with a plastic, which is also used to cover the handle tube, so that the known support folding handle arrangement apart from their functionality and a particularly appealing aesthetic and uniform design.

For this purpose, in particular, the mounting plate on which a bearing block is provided for forming a pivot bearing assembly with the handle tube, designed according consuming, since the integrally formed mounting plate due to their dual function in addition to the secure wall mounting and pivoting of the handle tube also an aesthetically pleasing surface finish in accordance with the Griffrohroberfläche should have.

In addition, the assembly of the known support flap handle assembly requires a screwing of the mounting plate with the mounting wall, which are formed as through holes in the mounting plate mounting holes are provided with appropriate covers after installation in order to achieve the above-described uniform surface design. In order to avoid mounting marks on the surface of the mounting plate, which could affect the desired high-quality external appearance of the entire support folding handle arrangement sensitive, therefore, is to spend special care during installation, which is given in practice, often in the non-optimal installation conditions than difficult proves.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to propose a support folding handle arrangement, due to their special Structure largely avoids the risk of mounting traces on the installed support flap handle assembly.

To solve this problem, the invention Stützklappgriff arrangement has the features of claim 1.

The Stützklappgriff arrangement according to the invention has a mounting plate which is provided with a decorative housing, which has for the clothing of the bearing cheeks of the bearing block Lagerwangenschalen and for producing the pivot bearing assembly formed between the bearing cheeks mounting opening for the passage of the handle tube.

Due to the particular configuration of the support flap handle assembly with the decorative housing, it is possible to perform a wall mounting of the support flap handle assembly in a state of the support folding handle assembly in which this is indeed fully functional, but not yet their final, desired during the permanent installation surface design having. Thus, the support folding handle assembly according to the invention can be mounted without the risk that the desired flawless surface could be affected by mounting tracks.

Due to the particular configuration of the decorative housing with Lagerwangenschalen for clothing of the bearing cheeks, the mounting plate after assembly with the decorative housing on a uniform surface design, so that the mounting plate can be designed solely from a functional point of view. The trained between the bearing cheeks mounting hole makes it possible to postpone the decorative housing after wall mounting the mounting plate together with the pivotable on the mounting plate by means of the pivot bearing assembly mounted handle tube on the front free front end of the handle tube and over the length of the handle tube away to the desired, the mounting plate covering Move arrangement of the decorative housing.

In the context of the invention, the term "mounting plate" is to be understood not limited to a plate-like configuration, but generally as a Wandanschlusseinrichtung, which allows a rear abutment against the mounting wall.

To secure the connection between the decorative housing and the mounting plate, it is particularly advantageous if a frictional connection, preferably a latching connection is provided, which can be done without the use of tools.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the support flap handle assembly formed between the bearing cheeks mounting hole extends with an opening extension on the Lagerwangenschalen addition to the lower end of the mounting plate out, the opening extension is provided with a decorative cover. This makes it possible to provide mounting plates with a decorative housing to which by means of the pivot bearing assembly, a handle tube or a handle tube assembly are connected, or extend in height over the range of Lagerwangenschalen out, so for example, handle tubes, which for stabilization with are provided a supporting support spar. In this case, the decorated housing provided with the opening extension can be moved over the handle tube or the handle tube arrangement to the cover of the mounting plate, and then there is a cover of the opening extension through the decorative lid, which - possibly after a pivoting of the handle tube in the non-use position - on the opening extension is placed so that the decorative housing has a closed surface.

It is also particularly advantageous if the connection piece of the handle tube is provided with a decorative housing which has a handle tube aperture whose aperture is adapted to the handle tube cross-section. With such a design, it is possible uniformly designed decorative housing for handle tubes with different cross-section, ie For example, to use a round cross-section or a rectangular cross-section, so that a total of an optionally designed with different surfaces, but otherwise consistent appearance of support folding arm assemblies is possible, having differently shaped handle tubes.

If compensating pieces are provided for adaptation of an outer cross section of the connecting piece differing from the inner cross section of the decorative housing, one and the same decorative housing can be used for differently shaped grip tubes or handle tubes with differently shaped cross sections, so that a comprehensive assembly of the remaining parts of the Stützklappgriff- irrespective of the grip tubes Arrangement can be reached and due to the compensating pieces quite differently formed connecting pieces of the handle tubes can be accommodated in one and the same decorative housing.

It proves to be particularly advantageous if the compensating pieces are designed as compensating cheeks which receive the connecting piece between them and are arranged on the pivot axis of the pivot bearing arrangement. Thus, the compensation cheeks allow a defined coaxial alignment of the handle tube with the decorative housing, regardless of the cross-sectional configuration of the handle tube.

The connector may be integrally formed with the handle tube and in particular by the Griffrohrende, but it proves to be particularly advantageous if the connector is designed as independently of the handle tube formed connection module, which simultaneously contributes to a reinforcement or stiffening of the handle tube end. In this context, it is particularly advantageous if the connection module consists of a solidly formed insert part which is inserted at least partially into the cross section of the grip tube or of the handle tube end.

It is particularly advantageous if the connection module is provided at its end facing the mounting plate with a support surface for support against a formed on the mounting plate support stop, so that due to the advantageous dual function of the connection module on the one hand, the necessary number of parts of the support flap handle assembly can be kept small On the other hand, provided for a particularly rigid lever arm between the pivot axis and the support stop.

If the connection module is used for non-positive connection of attachments to the handle tube, in addition to the previously mentioned functions of the connection module by the connection module a particularly resilient and rigid connection to other attachments allows.

In this context, it is particularly advantageous if the connection module serves for frictionally connecting a connecting rod connected to a support spar for supporting the grip tube.

A window opening in the decorative housing for exposing the support surface of the connection module advantageously ensures that the support function is not affected by the decorative housing.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
