2. Description of the Related Art This type of wall fixing rod structure is disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift
288996. Here, the wall anchoring bar is surrounded by the fixture, so that a distance between the wall anchoring bar and the building wall is required.

[0003] The basic object of the present invention is to improve a wall-fixing rod with a mounting as described in the preamble of claim 1.

According to the present invention, the wall fixing rod is formed as a hollow section having a mushroom-shaped cross section, and has a guide track for a fixture on both rear sides of a front surface curved in an arc-shaped cross section. On the inside of a wall fixing bar connected to a correspondingly narrowed U-shaped leg, wherein the mounting is pivotable about the slide and about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wall fixing bar. This is solved in that the flange of the sliding body abuts the guide track so as to receive the thrust against the pressing body. Another embodiment of the present invention is claim 2
11.

[0005] An advantage achieved by the present invention is that the wall anchoring rod can be mounted very close to the interior wall or quite directly to the interior wall. When combined with a pivotable support for a showerhead or a soap dish or the like, the space requirements of a sanitary room, for example a shower room, can be reduced considerably.

One embodiment of the present invention is shown in the drawings and will be described in detail below.

A fixture 2 movably mounted on a wall fixing rod.
The fork member 7 includes a sliding body 20 and a support 25, and a fork 7 into which a shower head (not shown) is inserted and supported and fixed is disposed in a front region of the support 25.

The sliding body 20 surrounds the arc-shaped curved front surface 10 of the wall fixing rod 1 by means of the flange 200 and abuts the two guide tracks 11, at which time the sliding body is slid, as can be seen from FIGS. The inner surface of the body is provided with a lining 5 of a synthetic material with good sliding properties. The pressing body 21 is disposed in the opening 52 of the lining 5, and the pressing body is curved in an arc shape by using three screw-shaped springs 4 radially arranged along the longitudinal axis of the wall fixing rod 1. It is pressed against the front surface of the wall fixing bar. A longitudinal convex line 210 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wall fixing bar is formed on the abutting surface of the pressing body 21 formed in a cylindrical shape corresponding to the front surface 10 of the wall fixing bar 1. Regardless of whether or not soap remains, the same frictional action always works. Similarly, in the area of the guide track 11 of the wall fixing bar 1, a sliding convex line 50 that guides the sliding body along the guide track 11 is formed on the lining 5. In addition, a flange 202 is provided with a hole 202 in which the fixing pin 510 of the lining 5 is snap-fitted in order to hold the lining 5 in the sliding body 20 in a form-closed manner. The fixing pin 510 is formed on the spring tongue 51 of the lining 5. 6 and 7, the projecting edge 2
03 is formed in the upper region of the slide 20 in which the lining 5 abuts in the inserted state.

As can be seen from FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, three guide pins 211 are formed at intervals on the surface of the pressing body 21 facing the back of the front surface 10. As shown in FIG. The guide pin 211 is composed of a cross-shaped rib, and at its front end,
The helical spring 4 has a fixed nose for capturing and holding it in the insertion position. The completed pressing body 21 is pushed together with the spring 4 into the corresponding blind hole 201 in the sliding body 20, and the pressing body is pushed into the wall fixing bar 1, and then the spring 4 pushes the front surface 10 of the wall fixing bar 1. And the sliding convex line 50 is pressed against the guide track 11 as a reaction against it, so that the fixture 2 has a constant resistance to movement and can move axially with respect to the wall fixing rod 1. ing.
The magnitude of the pressing force of the spring 4 is selected on the one hand so that it can move relatively lightly on the wall fixing bar 1 and on the other hand such that unintentional automatic movement does not occur.

A through-hole 205 is formed in the front end region of the sliding body 20 along the axis 3 parallel to the wall fixing rod 1, and as shown in FIGS.

It is surrounded by the upper bearing hole 252 and the lower bearing hole 251 of the support 25, and enables the support 25 to pivot about the axis 3.

A screw bolt 35 is disposed in the through hole 205, and the bolt is connected to the constricted portion 20 of the through hole 205 on one side.
A band 350 is made to abut against 50 in the axial direction. A left screw 310 is formed in an upper end region of the screw bolt 35, and a right spring 300 is formed in a lower end region of the screw bolt 35.
Similarly, the upper hollow pin 31 has a left internal thread, and the lower hollow pin 33 has a right internal thread. The upper hollow pin 31 is provided with a square intermediary part 311, whereby it is rotatably fixed and axially guided in a corresponding hole in the sliding body,
On the other hand, the lower hollow pin 30 is provided with a hexagonal intermediary portion 302, so that it is rotatably fixed and axially movable in a corresponding hole in the sliding body. Furthermore, screw bolt 35
A slit 352 for inserting a screwdriver is formed at the lower end of the. First, after the screw bolt 35 is pushed into the through hole 205 until the band 350 abuts on the constricted portion 2050, the hollow pins 30, 31 are inserted from both outer sides into the through hole 2.
It is led into 05. Then, turn the spring screw 35,
By operating the left screw in the opposite direction, the hollow pins 30 and 31 are completely screwed into the slide 20. In this state, when the ring screw 6 is screwed into the extension region of the through hole 205 and the two hollow pins 30 and 31 are untwisted, the ring shoulder 301 of the hollow pin 30 abuts on the ring screw 6 and the two hollow pins 30 and 31 is prevented from being completely untwisted.

In order to combine the sliding body 20 and the support 25, first, the hollow pins 30, 31 are sunk into the sliding body 20,
The support 25 is pushed onto the slide 20 parallel to the wall fixing bar 1. On the inner surface of the support 25, there is an upper bearing hole 252 in the form of a blind hole, and a lower bearing hole 251 having a small diameter through opening 250 for inserting a rotary tool is formed. First, the O-ring 27 is provided in both bearing holes 251 and 252.
The bearing bush 26 with the front flange 260 is then brought in. In the inserted state, the screw bolt 35 is rotated through the through-opening 250 using, for example, a rotary tool such as a screwdriver, so that the hollow pins 30, 31 having the rounded leading edge 33 are axially inserted into the bearing holes 251, 25.
It is pushed into 2. Thus, the bearing bush 26 supports the bearing both radially and axially, while O-
The rings 27 are pressed against the sides of the hollow pins 30, 31, respectively, so that the pivotal movement of the support 25 is damped and a certain movement restriction is created.

A radial screw hole 351 is formed in the region of the band 350 for fixing the screw bolt 35 at the insertion position. Central blind hole 2 for receiving spring 4
A radial hole 206 is provided on the axis of 01, and a pressing disk for supporting the spring 4 is disposed between the spring 4 and the bottom of the blind hole 201. With the screw bolt 35 at the corresponding rotation position, the radial screw 2060 is screwed into the radial screw hole 351 of the screw bolt 35. The radial screw 2060 fixes, on the one hand, the rotational position of the screw bolt 35 and, on the other hand, uses its forehead to adjust the force of the spring 4 pressing the pressing body 21 against the front face 10 depending on the screwing depth. I can do it.

Thus, the support 25 is pivotally connected to the slide 20 about the axis 3. Support 25 formed as a hollow body for laterally damping pivotal movement
On both front sides running parallel to the axis 3 of the side walls 28 arranged in parallel, a damping band 29 made of an elastomer is mounted, which acts as a pivoting contact member or a noise damper. In particular, the damping band 29 also reduces damage to the surface of the slide 20 during abutment.
