Definitions

  • the invention relates to a towel holder having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the towel holder in question is intended for a home assembly in the sanitary area.
  • it is intended for mounting on an inner wall, especially by screw with wall plugs.
  • a towel holder known from the prior art has an elongated support element on which one or more protruding towel rails are rotatably mounted.
  • the towel rods turn around an axis parallel to the wall.
  • the towel rails are used to hang towels over the towel bars.
  • the support element is in turn connected via a transverse web or a connecting piece with a rosette, which surrounds the actual mounting plate, which is screwed to the wall.
  • this known towel holder consists of several separate items, which still have to be joined together by various compounds.
  • a problematic situation occurs in the known towel holders when the towel bars perpendicular to the wall, which are actually designed only to carry the comparatively light towel weight, are exposed to a strong weight force. This can be done either by a person resting on the towel rail with their hand, for example, because it incorrectly assesses the carrying capacity of the towel rail or because it inadvertently grabs the washbasin. It can also happen because a person loses their balance and reaches for the towel rail.
  • a connection is now provided instead of only a positive connection between the connecting piece and the rosette, which is positively in the direction of rotation.
  • a rotation of the connector to the rosette can be effectively prevented even without significant changes in the material thicknesses or the manufacturing effort by simply given a shape at least a portion of the connector and a corresponding receptacle of the rosette, which effectively prevents rotation by positive engagement.
  • the towel holder Without rotation of the support member, the towel holder can also absorb a strong weight to an acceptable extent and transferred to the wall.
  • the particularly preferred embodiment according to claim 5 allows characterized in that it provides differently configured portions of the connector, each having a separate, both in the rotational direction and in the longitudinal direction positive connection with the connector.
  • At least one connection of the connecting piece, namely to the support element, be designed to be particularly stable, such as by welding.
  • the towel holder shown in the drawing has two towel rails 1a, 1b. But it is also suitable for any number of towel rails 1a, 1b, including the case with only a single towel bar 1a, 1b.
  • the towel holder can next to towel bars 1a, 1b and more Handrails, such as an arm for a mirror or the like.
  • the towel holder comprises a supporting element 1 with a protruding connecting piece 2.
  • the supporting element 1 is adapted to support one or more towel rails 1a, 1b of the towel holder fastened to the supporting element 1.
  • the connector 2 has an end portion 3 with a thread.
  • the end section 3 of the connecting piece 2 is characterized in that it is located on the end of the connecting piece 2 facing away from the supporting element 1.
  • the towel holder further comprises a rosette 4 with an opening 5 for receiving the connecting piece 2.
  • the rosette 4 is essentially a cover plate with a certain depth, which is intended to cover and conceal the actual wall mounting of the towel holder.
  • the opening 5 is arranged centrally on the rosette 4.
  • the sleeve 6 In an arrangement of the sleeve 6 between the support member 1 and the rosette 4 so there is at least either between the sleeve 6 and the support member 1 or between the Sleeve 6 and the rosette 4 a positive connection. Consequently, the sleeve 6 is certainly not formed integrally with both the support member 1 and the rosette 4. In addition to the possibility of covering the support element 1, the sleeve 6 offers the possibility of a further force transmission path between the rosette 4 and the support element 1 next to the connecting piece 2.
  • the towel holder comprises a counterpart 7 to the thread of the connecting piece 2 and a spacer 8 for arrangement between the counterpart 7 and the rosette. 4
  • the counterpart 7 is set up to produce the adhesion of the sleeve 6 between the support element 1 and the rosette 4 via the spacer 8 and the rosette 4.
  • the at least between sleeve 6 and support member 1 or between sleeve 6 and Rosette 4 meant existing frictional connection.
  • the rosette 4 is adapted to form fit by receiving the connector 2 in the opening 5 of the rosette 4 rotatably connected to the connector 2 to connect. The rosette 4 can not rotate about the axis of the elongated connector 2 so then.
  • a particularly favorable distribution of the power flow within the towel holder results in a load on the towel bars 1a, 1b in that a compressive force is exerted on the sleeve 6 in the at least one-sided force-locking arrangement between the support element 1 and the rosette 4 and the connecting piece 2 thereto is arranged to experience a tensile force between the support member 1 and the counterpart 7.
  • the type of force distribution in such a towel holder can also be described as a force distribution according to the "corkscrew principle".
  • a corkscrew exerts a pulling force on the cork by means of its helix, thereby pressing on the cork-containing bottleneck, as a result of which the cork is pulled out.
  • the subject towel holder there is no movement of the fixedly connected to the support member 1 connector 2, but the principle of a force exerted on the inner member tensile force and a force exerted on the outer member pressing force is the same.
  • the counterpart 7 pulls on the thread of the connector 2 to the rosette 4, ie exerts a tensile force, it can simultaneously exert pressure on the spacer 8, which in turn this pressure force on the rosette 4 on the sleeve. 6 passes. The power flow of the tensile and compressive force of the counterpart 7 to the support member 1 is thus divided respectively clean on the connector 2 and the sleeve 6.
  • the sleeve 6 is formed for receiving the support member 1 and the force-locking connection between the support member 1 and the rosette 4 on both sides.
  • the connecting element 2 completely covers, it can also transmit bending forces from any direction to the support member 1.
  • both their connection to the support element 1 and its connection to the rosette 4 is non-positively.
  • the connecting piece 2 has a central portion 9, wherein the positive rotational connection between the rosette 4 and the central portion 9 of the connecting piece 3 can be produced.
  • the central portion 9 is either, as in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown extending over the entire area between the end portion 3 and the support member 1. But it is also possible that one or more further sections between the central portion 9 and the support member 1 are arranged. Alternatively or additionally, one or more further sections may be provided of the connecting piece 2 are also located between the central portion 9 and the end portion 3.
  • the connecting piece 2 each have a separate section for producing a safeguard against pulling out the connecting piece 2 - the end portion 3 with the thread - and for producing a safeguard against rotation of the connecting piece 2, namely just the central portion.
  • the central portion 9 is formed with a polygonal cross-section
  • the Opening 5 of the rosette 4 corresponds to the cross section of the central portion 9 and the spacer comprises a washer 8, which comprises an opening 10 for receiving the central portion 9.
  • the FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated it may be in the angular cross section of the central portion 9 is a square cross-section.
  • the opening 5 of the rosette 4 has in this preferred embodiment, a corresponding, as shown here so also square cross-section.
  • the counterpart 7 can exert a tensile force on the connecting piece 2 and a simultaneous pressure force on the sleeve 6 according to the corkscrew principle via the washer 8, it is particularly preferred that the end portion 3 directly adjoins the central portion 9 and the length of the sleeve 6 so is chosen that in the arrangement of the sleeve 6 between rosette 4 and support member 1 and receiving the connector 2 in the opening 5 of the rosette 4, the central portion 9 partially from the the connecting piece. 2 opposite side of the opening 5 of the rosette 4 protrudes. This protruding of the central portion 9 is particularly in the Fig. 1b clearly visible.
  • the spacer or the washer 8 in this preferred embodiment has a thickness which is greater than the length of the protruding from the opening 5 of the rosette 4 part of the central portion 9.
  • These length ratios can be ensured, for example, that the sleeve is shorter is selected to be shorter than the distance from the support element 1 to the end of the central portion 9 and in particular by an amount which corresponds at least to the thickness of the rosette 4 in the region around its opening 5. Due to the required minimum thickness of the washer 8, the counterpart 7 can build up the pressure force on the sleeve 6 via the rosette 4.
  • Fig. 1a, b, c and 2a, b illustrated variant according to which the end portion 3 has an external thread and the counterpart comprises a nut 7 with an internal thread.
  • the end portion 3 may also have a tapered taper.
  • a particularly uniform distribution of the compressive force on the sleeve 6, both in the circumferential and in the longitudinal direction, is achieved by a further preferred embodiment, which is characterized in that the support member 1 is a round tube-shaped and the sleeve 6 is a round tube with a support member 1 corresponding miter 11 is.
  • the round cross-section of the support element 1 ensures a rotational symmetry, so that regardless of a rotation of the towel bars 1a, 1b no edges or corners on the support element 1 emerge. Due to the also in cross section round design of the sleeve 6, this has a rotational symmetry and the miter allows that the frictional connection between the sleeve 6 and the support element 1 along the entire circumference of the sleeve 6 can be made.
  • the support element 1 comprises at least two coaxially arranged hinges 12, 13. At each hinge can then, as in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown to be attached to a towel rail.
  • the connecting piece 2 is connected to the support element 1 between at least two coaxially arranged hinges 12, 13 of the support element 1.
  • the connecting piece 2 is arranged at right angles to the support element 1 and is connected to the support element 1 in a materially bonded manner, in particular by a welded connection. Due to the material connection, a particularly strong and reliable connection can be made.
  • Fig. 1a-c illustrated assembly of the towel holder described. This is done so that first the sleeve 6 is placed on the connector 2. Then the protruding from the sleeve 6 part of the connecting piece 2, so in particular the end portion 3 is guided with a part of the central portion 9 through the opening 4 of the rosette 5, whereby the rosette 5 enters into a rotationally positive connection with the central portion 9 of the connector.
  • the washer 8 is now attached to the protruding from the opening 5 of the rosette 4 portion of the connecting piece 2 and tightened the nut 7 on the external thread of the end portion 3.
  • the towel holder preferably has a mounting plate 14 with holes 15 for wall mounting.
  • the holes 15 are used to receive screws and thus to produce a screw, such as dowels in the wall to which the towel holder is provided for attachment.
  • the mounting plate 14 has at least one notch 16 at its edge and that the rosette 4 at least two projections 17, 18, wherein at least one of the projections 17, 18 has a bore 19 for receiving a screw 20 and the at least two projections 17, 18 are arranged so that the mounting plate 14 is held in the rosette 4 by the recorded in the bore 19 screw 20 by engaging in the at least one notch 16.
