Description

"SUPPORT AVEC VA-ET-VIENT POUR DOUCHE MASSEUSE" "SUPPORT WITH SHUTTER FOR MASSAGE SHOWER"
La présente invention est du domaine des installations sanitaires et plus particulièrement des commodités domestiques, notamment des baignoires, bacs de douche ou similaires, et elle a pour objet un dispositif de va-et-vient vertical pour pomme de douche, comportant un jet dit "masseur" par exemple.The present invention is in the field of sanitary installations and more particularly domestic conveniences, in particular baths, shower trays or the like, and its subject is a vertical to-and-fro device for a shower head, comprising a jet called " masseur "for example.
On connaît, notamment par le brevet FR 2644813 (MARIELLE), des supports de pomme de douche destinés à être fixés au-dessus d'un bac, tels que baignoire ou bac de douche, et à procurer un déplacement vertical guidé de. la pomme de douche en vue d'un massage par l'eau. Ces supports comprennent un tube fixé verticalement au mur à chacune de ses exrrémités par deux organes de fixation, en vue de faire coulisser le long du tube la pomme de douche par l'intermédiaire d'un coulisseau la supportant. Le tube est d'une longueur déterminée, et le coulisseau est équipé de moyens de blocage par serrage sur le tube à une hauteur désirée. Le coulisseau est formé d'une douille de faible longueur destinée à être enfilée sur le tube et à coulisser le long de sa surface extérieure.Are known, in particular from patent FR 2644813 (MARIELLE), shower head supports intended to be fixed above a tray, such as a bathtub or shower tray, and to provide a guided vertical movement of. the shower head for a water massage. These supports include a tube fixed vertically to the wall at each of its ends by two fixing members, in order to make the shower head slide along the tube by means of a slide supporting it. The tube is of a determined length, and the slide is equipped with locking means by clamping on the tube at a desired height. The slide is formed by a short length sleeve intended to be threaded on the tube and to slide along its outer surface.
Ces dispositifs sont satis¬ faisants quant à leur fonctionnement général. Toutefois, leur utilisation a révélé certains inconvénients et imper¬ fections : - le guidage du coulisseau n'est pas accompli en raison de la faible longueur de la douille,These devices are satisfactory as regards their general operation. However, their use has revealed certain drawbacks and imper¬ fections: - the guiding of the slide is not accomplished due to the short length of the sleeve,
- la longueur de la surface de guidage du coulisseau sur le tube représente autant de course indisponible pour la pomme le long du tube entre les deux organes de fixation de celui-ci,the length of the guide surface of the slide on the tube represents as much stroke unavailable for the apple along the tube between the two fixing members of the latter,
- le déplacement du coulisseau sur la surface extérieure du tube entraîne à l'usage une usure du tube gênante pour le coulissement, - les moyens de blocage par serrage de la pomme de douche sur le tube sont insatis¬ faisants,- the displacement of the slide on the external surface of the tube causes in use an annoying wear of the tube for sliding, - the locking means by tightening the shower head on the tube are insatis¬ doing,
- la conformation des organes de fixation les rend difficilement nettoyables et dangereux compte tenu de leur destination, en raison de leurs nombreux angles vifs.- the shape of the fasteners makes them difficult to clean and dangerous given their destination, due to their many sharp angles.
Le dispositif de l'invention, destiné à être rapporté sur un mur au-dessus d'un bac, tel que baignoire, bac de douche ou similaire, pour supporter une pomme de douche masseuse et procurer un mouvement guidé de va-et-vient à ladite pomme de douche, est du genre de dispositif comprenant un coulisseau sup¬ portant la pomme de douche et circulant le long d'un tube fixé au mur par ses extrémités au moyen d'organes de fixa¬ tion respectifs, ledit coulisseau étant manoeuvrable par une chaînette à laquelle il est relié et qui s'étend par¬ tiellement à l'intérieur du tube jusqu'à son extrémité supérieure au travers de laquelle elle sort hors de celui-ci.The device of the invention, intended to be attached to a wall above a tray, such as a bathtub, shower tray or the like, for supporting a massaging shower head and providing a guided movement back and forth to said shower head, is of the type of device comprising a slide sup¬ carrying the shower head and circulating along a tube fixed to the wall by its ends by means of respective fixing members, said slide being maneuverable by a chain to which it is connected and which extends partially inside the tube to its upper end through which it exits out of it.
Le but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités et de proposer un dispositif du genre de ceux précités équipés de moyens fiables et ergonomiques de guidage et de blocage de la pomme de douche.The object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a device of the kind of the aforementioned equipped with reliable and ergonomic means for guiding and blocking the shower head.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif es : principalement caractérisé en ce que le coulisseau, de forme générale cylindrique allongée, circule à l'intérieur du tube et comporte une partie radialement en saillie, ladite partie se prolongeant hors du tube au travers d'une fente ménagée au moins partiellement le long d celui-ci et étant dotée de moyens de liaison avec la pomme de douche comprenant un support et une pince.According to the invention, the device is : mainly characterized in that the slide, of generally elongated cylindrical shape, circulates inside the tube and comprises a radially projecting part, said part extending out of the tube through a slot made at least partially along the latter and being provided with connecting means with the shower head comprising a support and a clamp.
Préférentiellement, ladite partie en saillie du coulisseau est aplatie et a une épaisseur correspondante à la largeur de la fente, de manière à guider radialement le coulisseau le long du tube. Le coulisseau a une section cruciforme et comporte à chacune de ses extrémités des rondelles de manière à guider axia- lement le coulisseau le long du tube.Preferably, said projecting part of the slide is flattened and has a thickness corresponding to the width of the slot, so as to guide the slide radially along the tube. The slide has a cruciform section and has washers at each of its ends so as to guide the slide axially along the tube.
De préférence, les moyens de liaison du coulisseau avec la chaînette sont constitués d'une chape solidaire de la rondelle supérieure du coulis¬ seau, ladite chape supportant un axe sur lequel est fixée la chaînette.Preferably, the connecting means of the slide with the chain consist of a yoke secured to the upper washer of the coulis¬ bucket, said yoke supporting an axis on which the chain is fixed.
Selon une forme avantageuse de réalisation, le dispositif comprend une butée réglable de maintien du coulisseau en position basse, formée d'un curseur cylindrique circulant ' à l'intérieur du tube, ledit curseur étant doté d'un poussoir de manoeuvre en saillie se prolongeant hors du tube au travers de la fente.According to an advantageous embodiment, the device comprises an adjustable stop for holding the slide in the low position, formed by a cylindrical cursor circulating ' inside the tube, said cursor being provided with a protruding operating pushbutton extending out of the tube through the slot.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée du curseur, celui-ci est enfilé en force à l'inté¬ rieur du tube. Le curseur comporte d'une part une fente axiale conique d'expansion, ménagée dans sa partie supé¬ rieure, débouchante sur un trou radial ménagé dans sa partie inférieure, et d'autre part au moins un bossage radial de guidage ménagé à l'opposé du poussoir. Ainsi, le curseur est naturellement bloqué à l'intérieur du tube, son déblocage résultant d'une pression exercée sur le poussoir qui induit une déformation du curseur grâce à la fente conique dont il est doté.According to a preferred embodiment of the cursor, the latter is forcibly threaded inside the tube. The cursor comprises on the one hand a conical axial expansion slot, formed in its upper part, opening out on a radial hole formed in its lower part, and on the other hand at least one radial guide boss formed in the opposite of the pusher. Thus, the cursor is naturally blocked inside the tube, its release resulting from a pressure exerted on the pusher which induces a deformation of the cursor thanks to the conical slot with which it is provided.
La rondelle inférieure du cou¬ lisseau comporte un cône destiné à coopérer avec la fente du curseur en vue du maintien du coulisseau en position basse, le cône induisant une expansion de la fente du curseur en vue d'un serrage de celui-ci à l'intérieur du tube.The lower washer of the stretcher comprises a cone intended to cooperate with the slider slot in order to maintain the slider in the low position, the cone inducing an expansion of the slider slot in order to tighten it to the inside the tube.
Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, chaque organe de fixation du tube est composé de deux éléments, l'un des éléments, dit premier, se fixant au mur et l'autre, dit second étant relié au tube. Le premier élément est vissé dans le mur et comporte un rebord sur lequel prend appui la partie basse du deuxième élément, celui-ci comportant un retour s'enclenchant derrière un logement ménagé sur le premier élément. Les premiers et deuxièmes éléments sont assemblés entre-eux au moyen d'une vis.According to a preferred embodiment, each tube fixing member is composed of two elements, one of the elements, said first, fixing to the wall and the other, said second being connected to the tube. The first element is screwed into the wall and has a flange on which the lower part of the second element is supported, the latter comprising a return engaging behind a housing formed on the first element. The first and second elements are assembled together by means of a screw.
Préférentiellement, le deuxième élément de chacun des organes de fixation du tube comporte deux douilles concentriques, l'une dite intérieure et l'autre extérieure, ménageant entre elles un espace dansPreferably, the second element of each of the tube fixing members comprises two concentric sockets, one said to be internal and the other external, leaving a space between them.
