Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower set with a bracket to which a hand shower can be fastened, and with a shower slide carrying the bracket, which is connected to a height-adjustable guide bar attached to a wall and has at least one locking element via which the position of the shower slide on the guide bar after a height adjustment can be detachably locked.
  • a shower set of the type mentioned above is known, for example, from German patent application P 42 32 793.8.
  • sliding shoes are provided as locking elements, which are mounted so that they brace the guide rod in the shower slide against the rod.
  • the shower slide is in turn automatically held by the clamping action of the slide shoes.
  • the clamping action of the slide shoes comes about in that they are positioned under pretension between the shower slide valve and the guide rod.
  • the preload is dimensioned so that it is sufficient to hold the shower slide with the hand shower in the desired position, but at the same time so low that it can be overcome under normal conditions to adjust the height of the shower slide by hand.
  • the advantage of the known shower set is that it is possible to operate it with one hand Any height of the shower slide can be chosen without the need for complicated adjustment mechanisms. In practical use of the known shower set, however, it turns out that the clamping effect of the sliding shoes decreases due to dirt or that dirt adhering to the guide rod can block the shower slide. Remaining shower gel, soap and the like can also contribute to unsatisfactory operation.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a shower set of the type mentioned in such a way that it is less sensitive to dirt and materials which promote sliding and, even after a long period of use and frequent use, enables safe positioning of the shower slide at any height by one-hand operation .
  • This object is achieved in that the holder is pivotally mounted on the shower slide and that the locking element can be released from its clamped position by pivoting the holder relative to the shower slide.
  • the bracket is pivotally mounted on the shower slide, in such a way that when the bracket is pivoted, the locking element is moved out of its clamped position and releases the guide rod.
  • the shower slide can be adjusted in height with one hand, since the pivoting movement required for releasing the clamping connection between the guide rod and the locking element can immediately pass into the movement by which the position of the shower slide on the guide rod is changed.
  • the shower slide can be moved without any particular effort, since no force is exerted on the guide rod by the locking element during the movement.
  • the locking element slides over it. On the other hand, it sticks or brakes securely on the guide rod after the holder has been pivoted back.
  • the locking element is articulatedly connected to the holder via at least one coupling member.
  • the number of coupling elements required can be reduced to a minimum in that the coupling element is designed as a pivotably mounted swivel arm, which acts on the clamping element with one end when the holder is pivoted for releasing the locking element, while its other end with one the bracket connected cams cooperates.
  • a particularly safe, inaccuracies when operating the bracket compensating connection of bracket and locking element can be achieved in that the pivot arms enclose the cam of the bracket like a pliers and have a recess in the area of their side surfaces coming into contact with the cam of the bracket, in which the cam is seated in the clamping position of the locking element.
  • the locking element in its clamped position is braced against the guide rod by a force generated by an elastic element, it is possible to securely lock the shower slide in any position regardless of the action of, for example, gravity.
  • a spiral spring can be used as the elastic element, the dimensions and properties of which in many cases prove to be advantageous with regard to the external design and the installation of the shower slide.
  • a plate spring can be considered as an elastic element, which can also serve as a securing or assembly aid.
  • the shower slide is expediently designed as a housing which accommodates the locking element and the elements required for releasing the locking element and pivoting the holder.
  • the invention is characterized in that an easy-to-operate shower set is created, which is to be released from the locking position and to be moved to a different altitude, as it were, via the lever arm "bracket, cam, arm". If the user then lets go of the lever arm, the locking element is moved back into the locking position via spring elements and the shower set is fixed at a correspondingly new height. Dirt on the guide rod or on the shower slide can not affect the function.
  • Fig. 1 shows a shower set with a bracket 1 and a shower slide 2.
  • the shower slide 2 is constructed in several parts and has a correspondingly far beyond the guide rod 5 protruding basic housing 3, which in its rear area 3a is box-shaped and has a rectangular through opening 4 for the guide rod 5.
  • a window 6 is provided in the front side 3b of the rear area 3a of the basic housing 3, through which a locking element 7 can be moved against the guide rod 5 and away from it.
  • two shoulders 8, 9, each of which has a recess 8a are integrally formed on the front side 3b adjacent to the sides 3c thereof.
  • the upper pivot pin 10a, 11a of a pivot arm 10, 11 is mounted in the recess 8a of the shoulders 8, 9.
  • Corresponding pivot pins 11b corresponding to the pivot pins 10a, 11a are mounted in bores in the base plate 3d of the base housing 3, so that the pivot arms 10, 11 can be pivoted about the axes of rotation formed by the pivot pins 10a, 11a, 11b.
  • the pivot arms 10, 11 each have a front section 12 and an upper and lower rear section 13a, 13b that are cranked relative to the front section.
  • the swivel arms 10, 11 grip around a cam 14 in the form of pliers, with an approximately semicircular recess 15, the radius of which corresponds essentially to that of the cam 14, is provided in each of their side faces abutting the cam 14.
  • the cam 14 itself has a groove 16 in the area of its outer surface touching the swivel arms 10, 11, in which the respective swivel arm 10, 11 engages.
  • the edge between the outer surface of the cam 14 and its upper side is rounded off in order to enable smooth sliding when the cam 14 and the swivel arms 10, 11 move relative. For the same reason, the transitions between the recesses 15 and the side surfaces of the swivel arms 10, 11 adjoining them are rounded.
  • each rear fork-shaped Sections 13 of the swivel arms 10, 11 arranged one above the other lie against the upper edge region of a plate 17 which carries the locking element 7 on its side facing the through opening 4.
  • the plate 17 is movable perpendicular to the end face 3b of the rear area 3a of the basic housing 3.
  • a spiral spring 18 acts on the plate 17 in the direction of the guide rod 5 and is clamped between the plate 17 and a stop 19. It acts approximately centrally on the plate 17.
  • the cam 14 is guided through an opening 20 in the base plate 3 of the shower slide 2 and is firmly connected to the holder 1.
  • a plate spring 21, which surrounds this and is arranged on the cam 14, is arranged above the base plate 3d and is supported on a conical sliding surface 3e formed on the base plate 3d.
  • the plate spring 21 pulls the holder 1 into a conical seat 22 formed between the bottom 2a of the shower slide 2 and the top 1a of the holder 1.
  • the holder 1 is guided when pivoting about a horizontally oriented pivot axis A.
  • the holder 1 can simply be pivoted with the cam 14 as a pivot axis, specifically around the fixed shower slide 2, which, as shown in FIG. 2, projects correspondingly far beyond the guide rod 5.
  • the hand shower can also be pivoted with the pocket 24 in a vertical plane.
  • All elements arranged on the base plate 3d of the shower slide 2 are shielded by a housing cover 23 and secured against contamination.
  • pivot arms 10, 11 are pivoted about the axes of rotation extending through the pivot pins 10a, 11a, 11b, so that the free ends 13c of the rear sections 13a, b of the pivot arms 10, 11 are moved away from the guide rod 5, so that the plate 17 is moved away from the guide rod 5 against the force of the spiral spring 18.
  • the locking element 7 lifts off the guide rod 5 so that the shower slide 2 can be freely moved on the guide rod 5.
