Description

- 2 - "Towel holder” e

The invention is based on a towel holder known from the German utility model 7U U3 313, consisting of a bearing plate and two cantilever arms articulated on the latter so that it can be pivoted to a limited extent about a vertical axis, whereby the cantilever arms have end shields on the ends facing the bearing plate which the one end plate from above and the other end plate from below in a bracing of the bearing plate, interventions for the end plates, are rotatably and axially limited, and in the holder a tension spring acting on both end plates * and urging them to each other is arranged is.

In the towel holder known from the German utility model W3 318, the tension spring designed as a helical spring has molded on both ends at right angles to the direction of action of the tension spring.

Hooks which are hooked into the eyelets arranged on the inside of the end shields under pre-tension.

Furthermore, the holder is composed of two, approximately semicircular parts which can be connected to one another by means of a screw.

This design of the bracket allows first to hang the relaxed tension spring in the bearing shell eyelets and then screw the two bracket parts together to form a unit, but at the same time the tension spring must be preloaded.

However, these measures are still relatively callous and time-consuming.

In addition, the production of the at least 3-part bracket is complex and expensive.

* The object of the invention is now one

Towel holder of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 can be improved with simple means in such a way that, while maintaining the advantage already achieved in this prior art, which can be seen in the fact that the cantilevers can yield elastically, moreover a considerable assembly -simplification and a simpler and cheaper manufacturing option for the entire towel rail can be achieved.

The solution to this problem is characterized in that the tension spring has at least one end a threaded pin directed along the tension spring, to which, in the adjacent bearing plate, a bushing »with a threaded bore adapted to the threaded pin is rotatably mounted and rotatable from the outside, and that the bushing is open the threaded pin is screwed on under tension of the tension spring.

As a result, the tension spring can now be easily connected and preloaded to the other cantilever arm after the attachment of its one end part to the one cantilever arm and after inserting both cantilever arm end shields into the bearing plate holder, whereby the spring preload can also be varied continuously to give it Ratios 1 $ each exactly * «· to adjust

Furthermore, the holder can now be made much cheaper than in the above-described prior art, namely in one piece.

A preferred embodiment, which is particularly advantageous in terms of production technology, is that the tension spring also has a threaded pin on the end facing away from the threaded bushing, is also screwed into a threaded hole in the cantilever bearing slide adjacent to it, and the length of the relaxed tension spring together with both threaded pins is greater than the clear axial distance of the threaded holes corresponds, the threaded holes preferably also being coaxially aligned with the axis of rotation of the end shields.

Further configurations which complicate unauthorized manipulation and also result in inexpensive cleaning options are disclosed in claims k to ß.

In addition, it is necessary to assign anti-twist devices to the screw connections in order to make it difficult to unintentionally loosen the screw connections and thus to inadvertently change the spring tension.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.

Show it

Own 1 a towel holder in longitudinal section;

Fig. 2 also seen from above.

This towel holder essentially comprises a device (not shown) for a fixed mounting bearing plate 1 with a strut-shaped, annularly closed holder 2, two cantilever arms 3 and U held on the latter and rotatable about a vertical axis, and a helical tension spring 5 acting on the latter.

The cantilever arms 3 and 4 each have a circular bearing plate 6 at the ends facing the holder 2. 7, each with a turntable armored on the inside 8 respectively. 9, which are inserted from above or from below into the mouths of the holder 2 facing them so that they can rotate relative to the latter.

The lower flanks 10 of the slewing rings 8 and 9 are tapered towards their free ends.

The screw puller 5 has integrally formed threaded pins 11 on both end parts. 12.

The threaded pin 11 is screwed into a threaded bore 13 arranged in the end shield S and only opening on the inside.

The threaded pin 12 is a bush 14 rotatably mounted in the bearing plate 7 with a threaded bore. 15 assigned.

\ -8th-.

The socket 1¾ is inserted into an adapted bore 16 of the end shield 7 from the outside and is supported in the insertion direction with a molded shoulder 17 on the end shield 7.

The free end face of the bush 14 is flush with the outside of the end shield 7.

In the free end face of the socket 16, a screwdriver slot forming a> key socket 16 is arranged.

The length of the relaxed coil tension spring 5 together with its two threaded pins 11 and 12 is, as can be seen from FIG. 1, greater than the clear axial distance of the threaded holes 13 and 15 * so that after inserting the bearing guides 6 and 7 into the holder 2 the Buuse 14 can also capture the Geuinde-cones 12.

When using less dimensionally stable materials for the manufacture of the end shields 6 and 7, it is advantageous not to arrange the threaded bore 13 directly in the end shield 6, but in a bushing 19 made of hachoformable material and firmly inserted into the end shield 6 - 9.

Instead of the upper screw connection between w 'of the coil tension spring 5 and the upper bearing plate 6, the upper end part of the coil tension spring 5 could also be fastened to the bearing plate 6, for example by means of a crimp connection, βο Austauschβγπ the advantageous interchangeability of the coil tension spring 5 is not intended.

Due to the conical design of the slewing ring flanks 10, repeated correct engagement of the slewing rings fl and 9 in the mouths of the holder 2 is promoted.

All new individual and combination features disclosed in the description and / or drawing 9 are regarded as essential to the invention.
