  • the railing rod can be designed in one piece.
  • the term "railing section” denotes an area of the one-piece railing rod where it is is preferably a hollow tube.
  • the rail section facing away from the holding rod is, in particular, the last third or quarter of the length of the railing rod facing away from the holding rod.
  • the railing rod preferably has a plurality of railing sections (7, 8, 9), which are arranged one behind the other in the axial direction.
  • the individual pipe sections are also expediently hollow pipes.
  • the tensioning device engages the railing rod at a point or area that is as far away from the holding stand as possible.
  • the other point of attack is in the handrail or on the handrail.
  • the clamping device includes a spindle. Furthermore, the clamping device includes those elements by means of which the spindle is connected to the holding rod or the railing rod.
  • the spindle preferably has an external thread at each of its two ends, an external thread being screwed into a corresponding threaded hole in or on the holding rod and the other external thread being screwed into a thread attached to the rail section facing away from the holding rod.
  • a connecting device for fastening the rail section of the railing bar pointing to the holding bar is preferably arranged on the holding bar.
  • the connecting device has a clamping shell enclosing the holding rod.
  • the clamping shell is equipped with a connecting pin.
  • the connecting pin is inserted into the interior of the rail section pointing to the holding rod and has the threaded bore into which the external thread of the spindle is screwed.
  • the railing rod is preferably equipped with at least one cross bar, which is fastened to the railing rod and is suitable for attachment to a wall or side wall of the shower partition. Furthermore, the cross member is fastened to the railing rod between two railing sections.
  • the railing sections are preferably pipe sections.
  • cross bar has a connecting sleeve at its free end, which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cross spar, which projects on both sides beyond the cross spar, onto which the ends of the rail or tube sections pointing to the cross spar are pushed and which has a continuous opening through which the spindle extends, in particular two cross spars being present.
  • One or more shower accessories such as soap dish, shelf, mirror, holder for a window puller or the like can preferably be attached to the railing rod and also to the holding rod.
  • a shower seat is preferably attached to the railing rod and is furthermore preferably detachably attached to the railing rod.
  • the railing system according to the invention can also comprise a further second railing rod along with a further second holding rod.
  • the shower partition has two pivoting shower doors or, instead of the second shower door, a fixed wall element attached to the second handrail.
  • the second railing rod is preferably attached to the first railing rod with its free end.
  • the invention thus also relates to a shower partition with a railing system as described above, a shower door being pivotably attached to the 1 support rod.
  • a shower door being pivotably attached to the 1 support rod.
  • the shower room is formed, among other things, by a roughly square floor 20 and a side wall 21 and a side wall 22 which form a corner of the shower room with their vertical, mutually facing and abutting side edges.
  • a shower door in the form of a glass door is used to open and close the sides opposite the side walls 21 and 22.
  • One of the glass doors is attached to a 1st support rod 4, while the other glass door is attached to the 2nd support rod 5.
  • the attachment is such that the two shower doors or glass doors, not shown, are pivotally attached to the support rods 4 and 5, respectively.
  • cross bars 6 have the same axial length and extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the 1st support rod 4 or the 2nd support rod 5.
  • the 1st support rod 4 and also the 2nd support rod 5 are placed on the floor 20 with the aid of a floor attachment.
  • a wall holding device for fastening the holding rods 4, 5 to the side wall 21 or 22 is arranged.
  • the support rods 4 and 5 each represent a rigid tube which is attached and attached at its upper and at its lower end in the shower niche or in the shower room.
  • a first railing rod 2 extends from the approximately vertical first holding rod 4, which extends approximately perpendicularly to it and thus horizontally in the installed state and which at one end thereof on the first holding rod 4 is attached. The other end of the 1st railing rod 2 is attached to the side wall 22.
  • the 1st railing rod 2 is in the Figure 2 presented in more detail.
  • the 1st railing rod 2 is fastened at one end to the 1st holding rod by means of a clamping shell 10.
  • the other end of the railing rod 2 is on the side wall 22 (compare Figure 1 ) attached.
  • the 1st railing rod 2 has three railing sections 7, 8 and 9, which are hollow pipe sections.
  • Two struts 11 are used to fasten the 1st railing rod 2 to the side wall 21, each of which has at its end facing the 1st railing rod 2 a connecting sleeve 12 which is arranged transversely to the strut 11 and which extends into the opposite end of the associated tube section 7, 8 or 9 can be inserted.
  • the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 12 is such that it is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the associated pipe section.
  • the connecting sleeves 12 extend approximately perpendicular to the associated strut 11 and project laterally beyond the strut 11.
  • a clamping shell 10 which has two half-shells 14, 15, which together form the clamping shell 10, formally enclose the first holding rod 4 and, in the assembled state, on the outer lateral surface of the first holding rod 4 serves to fasten the pipe section 7 adjacent to the first holding rod 4 issue.
  • a cylindrical connecting pin 16 is fastened on the outside, which can be inserted into the end of the tube section 7 pointing towards the first holding rod 4 approximately with an exact fit.
  • the connecting pin 16 has on its outer lateral surface a plurality of grooves 37 running in the longitudinal direction, in the corresponding longitudinal direction extending ribs 38 come to rest on the inner circumferential surface of the pipe section 7, so that the pipe section 7 is non-rotatable with respect to the connecting pin 16 in the assembled state.
  • the connecting pin 16 merges into a flat, cuboid-shaped connecting tongue 35.
  • the two largest longitudinal edges of the cuboid extend centrally in the direction of the diameter of the connecting pin 16.
  • the longitudinal axis 36 runs within the connecting tongue 35, so that - to put it simply - the connecting pin 16 is virtually halved.
  • a half-jaw 39, 40 is fastened and in particular formed, which in the assembled state enclose an approximately cuboidal cavity in which the connecting tongue 35 comes to rest.
  • the half jaws 39, 40 are designed in such a way that they conform to the shape and size in such a way that they rest on the connecting tongue 35.
  • a through bore 25 which is perpendicular (relates to the assembled) to the longitudinal axis 36 and through which extends a threaded screw 18 in the form of an Allen screw provided with a screw head in the assembled state.
  • the threaded screw 18 also extends through a continuous bore 41 in the contracting tongue 35 and engages in a blind hole in the half jaw 39 with an internal thread, which corresponds to the thread of the threaded screw 18.
  • an extension 28 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis 27 (refers to the assembled state), which at its free end thickens approximately in the shape of a cylinder.
  • the tube section 7 has at its end pointing towards the 1st support rod 4 an axially extending and towards this end open recess 17, into which the extension 28 can be inserted from the side and the shape and size congruent to the extension 28 is that the inserted extension 28 cannot be pulled out in the axial direction.
  • a radial guide nipple 29 is provided for engagement in a bore 41 in the 1st holding rod 4, whereby a fixation in the longitudinal direction of the clamping shell 10 and thus the 1st railing rod 2 is brought about.
  • An O-ring 58 is used for sealing, which is pushed onto the guide nipple 29.
  • the measures described produce a positive and torsionally stable connection between the clamping shell 10 and the 1st support rod 4 and the pipe section 7.
  • ribs 38 extending in the longitudinal direction are also present in the tube section 9, but they end at a distance from the free end of the tube section 9 on the same axial length.
  • annular disk 42 is inserted from its free end, which bears against the ends of the ribs 38.
  • An axially extending sleeve 43 is inserted into the central bore in the annular disk 42 and has an internal thread 44 in its interior, which can or is screwed onto the external thread 33 of the spindle 13.
  • the sleeve 43 merges at its edge facing the free end of the tube section 9 into a radially outwardly extending ring flange 44 which is or comes in axial contact with the ring disk 42.
  • the ring flange 42 and thus the sleeve 43 are fastened in a rotationally fixed manner in the pipe section 9.
  • the sleeve 43 is screwed onto the thread 33 of the spindle 13. This pipe section 9 and thus the 1st railing rod 2 is clamped to the 1st holding rod 4.
  • the bracing can also take place without a non-rotatable connection between pipe section 9 and sleeve 43.
  • the bracing can also take place on the part of the connecting pin 16 in which this bracing is carried out is before the connecting pin 16 is fastened to the 1st holding rod 4 by means of the clamping shell 10.
  • a circular disk 46 which is attached to the side wall 22 with screws or the like and which has an axial pin 47 which projects into an expansion ring 48 arranged in the interior of the pipe section 9 and thereby clamps this pin 47 to the pipe section 9.
  • Such a construction has more than sufficient mechanical stability to hold a foldable shower seat 49 thereon, as shown in FIG Figure 1 is shown. It is sufficient to hang such a shower seat 49 only on the 1st railing rod 2.
  • the hanging position of the shower seat 49 can be chosen freely to meet the needs of the user.
  • the hanging position expediently lies between two struts 11.
  • the shower seat 49 is detachably attached to the first railing bar 2 by means of two holding bars 50 by means of a hook 51 and can be folded about an axis 52, so that it is different from the one in the Fig. 1 shown position can be brought into a vertical position.
  • the shower seat 49 is supported on the side wall 21 by means of two support bars 53.
  • Railing system shown has a 2nd support rod 5 which is connected to a 2nd railing rod 3.
  • the structural design of the 2nd support rod 5 and the 2nd railing rod 3 corresponds to that of the 1st support rod 4 together with the 1st railing rod 2.
  • the 2nd railing rod 3 is not made up of three pipe sections but only from a one-piece pipe.
  • the bracing can, however, correspond to that of the 1st railing rod 2.
  • such a bracing is not absolutely necessary.
  • the difference also lies in the attachment of the second railing rod 3 at its end facing away from the second holding rod 5. There the second railing rod is not fastened to a side wall but to the first railing rod 2 with the aid of a clamp 54.
  • shower accessories for example a soap dish 55 or a shelf 56, can be attached to these railing bars 3, 4 and to the holding bars 4, 5 a holder for a window puller 57 or the like can be attached.
  • the railing bars can serve as a handrail and are also advantageous because they extend to the handrails and can be gripped by one person immediately upon entering the shower room.
  • the elements of the railing system can be made of any suitable material, for example of a metal and / or a plastic material.
  • the support rods and railing rods of the railing system preferably have the same diameter and consist of the same material.
