Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brausehalter für eine Wandstange, der mit selbsthemmender Reibung ohne Betätigung von Feststelleinrichtungen entlang der Wandstange verschiebbar ist und mindestens einen Gleitring aufweist, der die Wandstange umgibt.The invention relates to a shower holder for a wall bar, the one with self-locking friction without actuating Locking devices can be moved along the wall bar is and has at least one slide ring, the wall bar surrounds.

Brausehalter dieser Art sind bekannt. Im Gegensatz zu Brausehaltern, bei denen zum Verschieben eine Feststelleinrichtung gelöst und nach dem Verschieben wieder arretiert wird, kann ein selbsthemmender Brausehalter ohne Lösen einer Feststelleinrichtung unter Überwinden einer Reibungskraft verschoben werden. Nach dem Schiebevorgang bleibt er an der Stelle stehen, wo er losgelassen wird. Derartige selbsthemmende Brausehalter sind in der Regel relativ kompliziert aufgebaut.Shower holders of this type are known. Unlike shower holders, in which a locking device for moving can be released and locked again after moving a self-locking shower holder without loosening a locking device shifted while overcoming a frictional force become. After the pushing process, it stops at the point where he is released. Such self-locking shower holders are usually relatively complicated.

Es ist bereits ein Brausehalter für eine Wandstange bekannt (EP-A2-504 749), bei dem die Halterung für den Brausekopf mit Hilfe zweier Streben an einem rohrförmigen, die Wandstange umgebenden Führungselement angebracht ist. In dem etwa rohrförmigen Führungselement sind zwei Gleitringe vorhanden und eine Einstelleinrichtung zur Einstellung und ggf. Nachstellung der Reibung zwischen dem Brausehalter und der Wandstange.A shower holder for a wall bar is already known (EP-A2-504 749), at the bracket for the shower head with the help of two struts on a tubular, the guide rod surrounding the wall bar is attached. About that tubular guide element, there are two sliding rings and an adjusting device for adjusting and, if necessary, adjusting the friction between the shower holder and the wall bar.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen einfachen und doch funktionsfähigen Brausehalter zu schaffen. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Weiterbildungen des Brausehalters gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. The object of the invention is to provide a simple yet functional To create shower holders. This task is solved by the features of claim 1. Further developments of Shower holder according to the invention result from the subclaims.

Durch die Erfindung wird es ermöglicht, in einfacher Weise eine Justierung bzw. Nachstellung der Reibungskraft vorzunehmen. Dadurch, daß die Justiereinrichtung mit einem ohnehin vorgesehenen Gleitring kombiniert ist, kann die Anzahl der Bauteile sehr gering gehalten werden. Die Justiereinrichtung kann in der Größe sehr unauffällig ausgestaltet werden, so daß sie das Aussehen des Brausehalters kaum beeinflußt. Dadurch ist man in der Gestaltung des Brausehalters im übrigen frei.The invention makes it possible in a simple manner to adjust or readjust the friction force. The fact that the adjusting device with an anyway provided slip ring is combined, the number of Components are kept very low. The adjustment device can be designed very inconspicuously in size, so that it hardly affects the appearance of the shower holder. Thereby one is in the design of the shower holder by the way free.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform in Verbindung mit den Unteransprüchen und den Zeichnung. Hierbei können die einzelnen Merkmale jeweils für sich oder in Kombination miteinander bei einzelnen Ausführungsformen verwirklicht sein.Further features and advantages of the invention result from the following description of a preferred embodiment in connection with the subclaims and the drawing.

Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte Brausehalter 1 besteht nur aus vier Teilen. Er ist bügelförmig ausgebildet und weist zwei freie Schenkel 2 und 3 auf. Im Bereich eines die Schenkel verbindenden Scheitels weist der Brausehalter 1 eine konische Einsteckaufnahme 4 für den Einsteckkonus einer Handbrause auf. Die konische Einsteckaufnahme verläuft schräg zur Vertikalen. Eine im einzelnen nicht dargestellte zylindrische Wandstange ist symbolisch durch ihre Längsachse 5 wiedergegeben. Die Schenkel 2 und 3 des Brausehalters weisen an ihren Enden Durchbrechungen 6 und 7 auf, durch die die Wandstange hindurchgeführt ist. In die Durchbrechungen 6 und 7 sind Gleitringe 8 und 9 aus entsprechend geeignetem flexiblem Material eingeschnappt. Der untere Gleitring 9 hat eine ungefähr doppelt so große axiale Erstreckung wie der obere Gleitring 8 und ist mit einer Justiereinrichtung 10 zur Einstellung seiner Reibungskraft auf der Wandstange versehen.The shower holder 1 shown in the drawing only exists of four parts. It is bow-shaped and points two free legs 2 and 3. In the area of a thigh connecting crown, the shower holder 1 has a conical Push-in holder 4 for the push-in cone of a hand shower on. The conical plug-in receptacle runs obliquely to Vertical. A cylindrical, not shown in detail Wall bar is symbolically represented by its longitudinal axis 5. The legs 2 and 3 of the shower holder point to their End openings 6 and 7 through which the wall bar is passed through. In the openings 6 and 7 are Slip rings 8 and 9 made of suitable flexible material snapped. The lower slide ring 9 has an approximate axial extension twice as large as the upper slide ring 8 and is with an adjusting device 10 for adjustment its frictional force on the wall bar.

Die beiden Schenkel 2 und 3 sind in einem spitzen Winkel zueinander angeordnet. Die freien Schenkelenden verlaufen entsprechend schräg zur Wandstange. Dabei ist der obere Gleitring 8 im Querschnitt parallelogrammförmig ausgebildet und liegt ebenfalls schräg zur Wandstange. Der untere Gleitring 9 liegt senkrecht zur Achse 5 der Wandstange. Das Schenkelende des unteren Schenkels 3 besitzt einen Lagerring 11, der die Schräge des unteren Schenkelendes ausgleicht und in den der untere Gleitring 9 ebenfalls unverlierbar eingeschnappt ist. Der Gleitring 9 ist längsgeschlitzt, wobei der Schlitz 12 seitlich angeordnet ist. Dieser Schlitz erlaubt eine Aufweitung bzw. Verengung des Querschnittes der Durchtrittsöffnung des Gleitringes 9. An seiner Außenseite weist der Gleitring 9 einen radial nach hinten abstehenden und einstückig mit ihm ausgebildeten Gewindebolzen 13 mit Linksgewinde auf, der Teil der Justiereinrichtung 10 ist. Auf dem Gewindebolzen sitzt ein ein entsprechendes Innengewinde aufweisendes Einstellrad 14 und ist innerhalb einer Ausnehmung im hinteren Ende 15 des Brausehalters 1 aufgenommen, die es in Richtung der Gewindeachse festlegt aber eine Drehung ermöglicht. Das Einstellrad 15 wird durch den am Gleitring 9 angeformten Gewindebolzen 13 gegen Herausfallen gesichert. The two legs 2 and 3 are at an acute angle arranged to each other. The free leg ends run accordingly at an angle to the wall bar. Here is the top one Sliding ring 8 formed in parallelogram shape in cross section and is also at an angle to the wall bar. The lower slide ring 9 is perpendicular to the axis 5 of the wall bar. The thigh end of the lower leg 3 has a bearing ring 11, which compensates for the slope of the lower leg end and in which the lower slide ring 9 also snaps captively is. The slide ring 9 is slotted longitudinally, the Slot 12 is arranged laterally. This slot allows an expansion or narrowing of the cross section of the passage opening of the slide ring 9. On its outside the slide ring 9 a protruding radially rearward and in one piece with it formed threaded bolt 13 with left-hand thread on, which is part of the adjustment device 10. On the The threaded bolt is seated with a corresponding internal thread Dial 14 and is within a recess in the rear end 15 of the shower holder 1, which it in the direction of the thread axis but allows rotation. The setting wheel 15 is by the on the sliding ring 9th molded threaded bolt 13 secured against falling out.

Der obere Gleitring 8 besitzt einen Innendurchmesser, der so groß ist, daß er auch noch auf solchen Wandstangen im wesentlichen reibungsfrei gleitet, deren Durchmesser im oberen Toleranzbereich liegt. In der Regel handelt es sich dabei um lackierte Wandstangen, die aufgrund der etwas dickeren Lackschicht einen um ca. 0,5 mm größeren Durchmesser besitzen als verchromte Wandstangen. Der Durchmesser des unteren Gleitrings 9, der mit der Justiereinrichtung 10 versehen ist, ist im Durchmesser, zumindest in Richtung des Gewindebolzens 13, veränderbar und zwar in der Weise, daß er einerseits die Toleranzen im Durchmesser von Gewindestangen auszugleichen vermag und andererseits bei auf den Wandstangen-Durchmesser eingestelltem Innendurchmesser zur Veränderung der Reibungskraft des Gleitrings auf der Wandstange verstellbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Steigung der Gewinde des Gewindebolzens 13 und des Einstellrades 14 relativ gering gehalten und liegt im Bereich von 5 bis 6 %. Aufgrund der geringen Steigung des Gewindes ist die Einstellung der Justiereinrichtung sehr feinfühlig, so daß die Reibungskraft über eine Drehbewegung von ca. einer halben Umdrehung einstellbar ist, ohne daß die Grenzwerte eines Festklemmens des Gleitringes oder einer Aufhebung der Reibungskraft des Gleitringes auf der Wandstange erreicht werden.The upper slide ring 8 has an inner diameter that so What is great is that it is still essentially on such wall poles glides smoothly, their diameter in the upper tolerance range lies. As a rule, these are painted wall poles, due to the somewhat thicker layer of paint have a diameter that is approximately 0.5 mm larger as chrome-plated wall bars. The diameter of the bottom Slide ring 9, which is provided with the adjusting device 10, is in diameter, at least in the direction of the threaded bolt 13, changeable in such a way that on the one hand the Compensate tolerances in the diameter of threaded rods and on the other hand with the wall bar diameter set inner diameter to change the friction force the slide ring on the wall bar is adjustable. To the purpose of this is the pitch of the thread of the threaded bolt 13 and the setting wheel 14 kept relatively low and lies in the range of 5 to 6%. Due to the slight slope of the Thread is the adjustment of the adjustment device very much sensitive, so that the frictional force via a rotary movement of about half a turn is adjustable without the Limits of the sliding ring jamming or lifting the frictional force of the slide ring on the wall bar can be achieved.

Die Wandung des einstellbaren unteren Gleitringes 19 ist im Bereich des Gewindebolzens 13 dicker als auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite. Dadurch wird eine gleichmäßige Übertragung der auf den Gewindebolzen ausgeübten, in Richtung zur Wandstange verlaufenden Klemmkraft auf die gesamte axiale Höhe des Gleitringes in diesem Bereich erreicht. Gleichzeitig ist der Gleitring 9 in axialer Richtung der Wandstange ausreichend hoch bemessen, so daß geringfügige Kippmomente, die infolge eines Spiels des oberen Gleitringes 8 auf der Wandstange entstehen können, sich nicht nachteilig auf die Feineinstellung der Reibungskraft auswirken. Solche Kippmomente des einseitig abragenden Brausehalters werden zudem auch dadurch klein gehalten, daß der Abstand der beiden Gleitringe 8 und 9 voneinander mehr als dem Zweifachen des Durchmessers der Wandstange entspricht.The wall of the adjustable lower slide ring 19 is in the Area of the threaded bolt 13 thicker than on the opposite Page. This will ensure an even transmission the one exerted on the threaded bolt, towards the wall bar extending clamping force on the entire axial height of the slide ring in this area. At the same time the slide ring 9 is sufficient in the axial direction of the wall bar highly dimensioned so that slight tilting moments due to play of the upper slide ring 8 on the wall bar can arise, not adversely affect the fine adjustment affect the frictional force. Such tipping moments of the one-sided protruding shower holder are also thereby kept small that the distance between the two slide rings 8 and 9 from each other more than twice the diameter corresponds to the wall bar.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellte Ausführungsform beschränkt. Vielmehr können auch Abwandlungen vorgenommen werden, ohne daß der Rahmen der Erfindung verlassen wird. So kann auch eine Justiereinrichtung vorgesehen sein, bei der ein Einstellrad auf der dem verstellbaren Gleitring zugewandten Seite einen umlaufenden, keilförmig ansteigenden Ring aufweist, der mit einer entsprechenden Gegenfläche des Gleitringes zusammenwirkt und eine veränderbare Anpreßkraft auf den verstellbaren Gleitring ausübt, je nach Drehstellung. Eine entsprechende Keil- und Klemmwirkung kann auch durch einen keilförmigen Schieber ausgeübt werden, der prallel zur Achse der Wandstange, insbesondere an der Rückseite des Brausehalters, geführt sein kann.The invention is not based on the illustrated embodiment limited. Rather, modifications can also be made without departing from the scope of the invention. So can also be provided an adjustment device in which an adjustment wheel on the one facing the adjustable slide ring Side a circumferential, wedge-shaped rising ring has that with a corresponding counter surface of the slide ring cooperates and a changeable contact pressure the adjustable slide ring, depending on the rotary position. A corresponding wedge and clamping effect can also be achieved a wedge-shaped slider are exerted parallel to Axis of the wall bar, especially on the back of the shower holder, can be led.

Es ist auch möglich, die Justiereinrichtung mit einem Federelement zum Ausgleich geringfügiger Durchmesserschwankungen der Wandstange auszurüsten. Diese kann beispielsweise zwischen dem Einstellrad 14 und dem dies an seiner Rückseite abstützenden Ende 15 des Brausehalters vorgesehen sein. Hierbei kann es weiterhin vorteilhaft sein, eine entsprechende ring- oder scheibenförmige Feder einstückig mit dem Einstellrad an dessen Rückseite auszubilden.It is also possible to use a spring element for the adjustment device to compensate for slight fluctuations in diameter to equip the wall bar. This can for example between the dial 14 and this on its back supporting end 15 of the shower holder may be provided. in this connection it may also be advantageous to have a corresponding ring-shaped or disc-shaped spring in one piece with the setting wheel to train at the back.
