Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von, einen Brausechalter zur abnehmbaren halterung einer Brausckopfs.The invention is based on, a shower switch for removable bracket of a shower head.

Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass man Handbrause beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Konushaltern schwenkbar an einer Konsole anbringen kann, die üblicherweise mit Hilfe einer Wandstange in der Höhe verstellbar ist. Durch die Wandstange kann eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Körpergrößen erfolgen, und durch die Verschwenkung kann der Abstrahlwinkel des Brausekopfs verändert werden.It is well known that you can attach hand shower, for example by means of cone holders pivotally mounted on a console, which is usually adjustable by means of a wall bar in height. By the wall bar can be made to adapt to different body sizes, and by pivoting the beam angle of the shower head can be changed.

Es ist auch schon eine Brausevorrichtung bekannt, bei der ein schwenkbarer Brausekopf im Bereich des vorderen Endes eines Wandarms befestigt ist, der seinerseits schwenkbar an einer Konsole angebracht ist. Die Wasserzufuhr zu diesem Brausekopf geschieht durch den als Hohlprofil ausgebildeten Wandarm ( DE 100 48 987 ).It is also already a shower device known in which a pivoting shower head is fixed in the region of the front end of a Wandarms, which in turn is pivotally mounted on a console. The water supply to this shower head is done by the designed as a hollow profile wall arm ( DE 100 48 987 ).

Weiterhin bekannt ist eine Brauseanordnung ( SE 95 879 ), bei der am vorderen Ende eines verschiebbaren Wandarms eine Aufnahme zum Einstecken des Griffs einer Handbrause angeordnet ist. Der Wandarm weist etwa in der Mitte seiner Längserstreckung ein Gelenk auf.Furthermore, a shower arrangement ( SE 95 879 ), in which a receptacle for inserting the handle of a hand shower is arranged at the front end of a movable wall arm. The wall arm has a joint approximately in the middle of its longitudinal extension.

DE 10051452 A1 offerbart einen gathungsgemäßen Brausehalter. Dabei ist eine senkrecht verlaufende Wandstange vorhanden, längs der ein gegabelter Wandarm verschoben werden kann. Am vorderen Ende des gegabelten Wandarms ist um die Achse der Wandstange verschwenkbar eine Halterung für eine Handbrause angeordnet DE 10051452 A1 offersbart a shower holder according to the invention. There is a vertical wall bar, along which a bifurcated wall arm can be moved. At the front end of the bifurcated wall arm, a holder for a hand shower is arranged pivotably about the axis of the wall bar

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Brauseanordnung zu schaffen, die bei einfachem Aufbau erweiterte Benutzungsmöglichkeiten bietet.The invention is based on the object to provide a shower arrangement, which offers expanded ease of use with a simple structure.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brausehalter mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a shower holder with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der von dem Anbringungsbauteil abragende Wandarm schwenkbar an dem Anbringungsbauteil gelagert und die im Bereich des dem Anbringungsbauteil entgegengesetzten Endes des Wandarms angebrachte Halterung für den Brausekopf schwenkbar an dem Wandarm gelagert ist. Durch die Anordnung zweier Schwenklagerungen lässt sich die Orientierung der Abstrahlrichtung des Brausekopfs in stärkerem Maße auf die Wünsche des Benutzers einstellen. Je nach der Länge des Wandarms ist es auch nicht mehr erforderlich, obwohl dies selbstverständlich auch noch möglich ist, das Anbringungsbauteil mit Hilfe einer Wandstange in der Höhe verschieben zu können.According to the invention it is provided that the projecting from the attachment member wall arm is pivotally mounted on the attachment member and mounted in the region of the mounting member opposite end of the Wandarms mounted bracket for the shower head pivotally mounted on the wall arm. By arranging two pivot bearings, the orientation of the emission direction of the shower head can be adjusted to a greater extent to the wishes of the user. Depending on the length of the Wandarms it is no longer necessary, although this is of course still possible to move the mounting member using a wall bar in height.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Achse, um die die Halterung für den Brausekopf verschwenkbar ist, quer zur Längsachse des Wandarms verläuft. Der Wandarm braucht zwar nicht geradlinig zu verlaufen, jedoch kann man von einer ungefähren Längsachse des Wandarms ausgehen, der gegenüber die Schwenkachse für den Brausekopf eben quer verläuft.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the axis about which the holder for the shower head is pivotable, extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the wall arm. Although the wall arm does not need to be rectilinear, it is possible to start from an approximate longitudinal axis of the wall arm, which runs transversely with respect to the pivot axis for the shower head.

Die Schwenkachse in dem Anbringungsbauteil zur Lagerung des Wandarms kann in beliebigen Richtungen verlaufen. Besonders sinnvoll ist es jedoch, wenn sie parallel zu einer Wandoberfläche verläuft, an der das Anbringungsbauteil angebracht ist. Es braucht sich dabei nicht um eine Wand des Badezimmers zu handeln, sondern kann auch irgendeine andere senkrecht verlaufende Fläche einer Duschzelle oder dergleichen sein. Selbstverständlich ist auch noch zusätzlich eine Anbringung mit Hilfe einer vertikal oder horizontal verlaufenden Schiene möglich.The pivot axis in the mounting member for supporting the Wandarms can extend in any direction. However, it is particularly useful if it runs parallel to a wall surface on which the attachment member is attached. It does not need to be a wall of the bathroom, but may be any other vertical surface of a shower cubicle or the like. Of course, an attachment by means of a vertically or horizontally extending rail is also possible in addition.

In nochmaliger Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Schwenkachse zwischen dem Anbringungsbauteil und dem Wandarm horizontal verläuft.In a further development can be provided that the pivot axis between the mounting member and the wall arm is horizontal.

Gemäß der Erfindung verlaufen die beiden Schwenkachsen parallel zueinander. Dann kann beispielsweise beim Hochschwenken des Wandarms die Halterung für den Brausekopf in umgekehrter Richtung verschwenkt werden, um den Abstrahlwinkel beizubehalten. Aus diesem Grunde kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass der maximale Schwenkwinkel der Halterung für den Brausekopf gegenüber dem Wandarm mindestens so groß wie der maximale Schwenkwinkel des Wandarms gegenüber dem Anbringungsbauteil ist.According to the invention, the two pivot axes are parallel to each other. Then, for example, when pivoting the Wandarms the bracket for the shower head can be pivoted in the reverse direction to maintain the beam angle. For this reason, it can also be provided that the maximum pivot angle of the holder for the shower head relative to the wall arm is at least as large as the maximum pivot angle of the wall arm relative to the attachment member.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Wandarm mindestens im Bereich seines freien Endes gegabelt ausgebildet ist. Dann kann die Halterung für den Brausekopf zwischen den beiden Armen der Gabel angeordnet sein.In development of the invention can be provided that the wall arm is formed forked at least in the region of its free end. Then the bracket for the shower head between the two arms of the fork can be arranged.

Beispielsweise kann die Gabelung des Wandarms etwa in der Mitte seiner Längserstreckung beginnen.For example, the bifurcation of the wall arm may begin approximately in the middle of its longitudinal extent.

In nochmaliger Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Schwenkachse der Halterung für den Brausekopf etwa durch die Mitte des Brausekopfgehäuses geht. Dies führt dazu, dass bei einer Verschwenkung des Brausekopfs sich nur die Abstrahlrichtung endet, nicht aber die absolute Position des Brausekopfgehäuses.In a further development can be provided that the pivot axis of the holder for the shower head is approximately through the center of the shower head housing. As a result, when the shower head is pivoted, only the radiation direction ends, but not the absolute position of the shower head housing.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Halterung für den Brausekopf (8) zum Angriff an einer nicht erkennbar zur Halterung vorgesehenen Stelle des Gehäuses des Brausekopfs (8) ausgebildet ist und in Löse- bzw. Einschiebrichtung durch Kraftschluss wirkt.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the holder for the shower head (8) is designed to attack on a non-recognizable for holding intended location of the housing of the shower head (8) and acts in release or insertion direction by frictional connection.

Dadurch wird es möglich, einen Brausekopf mit dem Brausehalter zu verbinden, wobei der Halter nicht mit einer an dem Handbrausegriff angreifenden Einrichtung verbunden sein muss. Insbesondere kann man dem Brausekopf nicht ansehen, dass er zur Verbindung mit einem Wandhalter bestimmt und geeignet ist. Der Designer ist daher wesentlich freier in den Möglichkeiten des Entwurfs des Brausekopfes bzw. seines Gehäuses.This makes it possible to connect a shower head to the shower holder, wherein the holder does not have to be connected to a device acting on the hand shower handle. In particular, you can not see the shower head, that it is intended for connection to a wall bracket and suitable. The designer is therefore much more free in the possibilities of designing the shower head or its housing.

Insbesondere kann die Halterung derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie am Außenumfang des Brausekopfgehäuses angreift.In particular, the holder may be designed such that it engages on the outer circumference of the showerhead housing.

Insbesondere soll die Halterung derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie zum Angriff an einer nicht an der Form erkennbar zur Halterung vorgesehenen Stelle des Gehäuses des Brausekopfes ausgebildet ist. Es ist auch denkbar, bestimmte Stellen des Gehäuses in ihrer Oberflächeneigenschaft zur Halterung auszubilden, ohne dass dadurch die Form beeinträchtigt wird. Damit kann man auch bei dieser weiteren Ausgestaltung an der Form des Brausekopfgehäuses nicht erkennen, dass diese Stelle zum Zusammenwirken mit der Halterung gedacht ist.In particular, the holder should be designed such that it is designed to engage on a non-recognizable to the shape of the holder intended location of the housing of the shower head. It is also conceivable to form certain points of the housing in their surface property for mounting, without thereby affecting the shape. Thus you can not recognize in this further embodiment of the shape of the showerhead housing that this point is intended to interact with the holder.

Die Erfindung schlägt in Weiterbildung vor, dass der Brausekopf nach Entnahme aus der Halterung funktionsfähig bleibt, so dass er sowohl in seinem Zustand der Verbindung mit dem Wandhalter als auch nach Abnahme vom Wandhalter als Brausekopf verwendet werden kann. Dies erhöht die Funktionseigenschaften deutlich.The invention proposes in a further development that the shower head remains functional after removal from the holder, so that it can be used as a shower head both in its state of connection with the wall holder and after removal from the wall bracket. This significantly increases the functional properties.

Nicht beansprucht ist eine Ausfrichrungsform, beider die Halterung starr an dem Wandarm angebracht ist. Es ist aber ebenfalls möglich und liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass die Halterung zusammen mit dem eingesetzten Brausekopf um eine Achse quer zur Längsachse des Wandarms verschwenkbar ist. Dadurch kann eine Einstellung auf unterschiedliche Abstrahlwinkel ermöglicht werden.Not claimed is a Ausfrichrungsform where the holder is rigidly attached to the wall arm. But it is also possible and is within the scope of the invention that the holder is pivotable about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the wall arm together with the shower head used. This allows adjustment to different angles of radiation.

Nicht unter den Schuntzumfang fallt die Anbringung des Brausehalters mit Hilfe des Anbringungsbauteils als eine feste Anbringung, beispielsweise an einer Wand, einer Säule innerhalb einer Duschzelle, oder auch an einer Wandstange oder einem Wandprofil. In diesem Fall kann die Anbringung auch so sein, dass das Bauteil verschoben werden kann.Not below the Schuntzumfang the attachment of the shower holder by means of the attachment member falls as a fixed attachment, for example on a wall, a column within a shower cubicle, or on a wall bar or a wall profile. In this case, the attachment can also be such that the component can be moved.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Wandarm im Bereich seines dem Anbringungsbauteil zugeordneten Endes um eine Achse parallel zur Wand verschwenkbar ist. Dies kann zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Körpergrößen dienen. Diese Achse kann horizontal liegen, sie kann auch drehbar um eine Achse senkrecht zur Wand sein.In a development of the invention, provision can be made for the wall arm to be pivotable about an axis parallel to the wall in the region of its end assigned to the attachment component. This can serve to adapt to different body sizes. This axis can be horizontal, it can also be rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the wall.

Da die beiden Schwenkachsen parallel zueinander verlaufen kann bei der Verschwenkung des Wandarms die Orientierung des eingesetzten Brausekopfes gegenläufig verändert werden, um dadurch die Änderung der Strahlrichtung auszugleichen.Since the two pivot axes can be parallel to each other during the pivoting of the wall arm, the orientation of the shower head used to be changed in opposite directions, thereby compensating for the change in the beam direction.

Um eine besonders sinnvolle und trotz der nicht speziellen Anpassung des Brausekopfes an die Halterung zuverlässige Befestigung zu erreichen, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Halterung an zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegenden Stellen des Gehäuses des Brausekopfes angreift.In order to achieve a particularly useful and despite the non-special adaptation of the shower head to the holder reliable attachment, the invention provides that the holder engages two diametrically opposite points of the housing of the shower head.

Hierzu weist die Halterung zwei Backen auf, die zum Angriff an dem Gehäuse des Brausekopfes ausgebildet sind.For this purpose, the holder has two jaws, which are designed for engagement with the housing of the shower head.

Es ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Backen bei eingesetztem Brausekopf mit einer Kraft aufeinander zu beaufschlagt sind. Diese Beaufschlagung wird durch das Einsetzen des Brausekopfes bewirkt.It is inventively provided that the jaws are acted upon each other with inserted shower head with a force. This action is caused by the insertion of the shower head.

Erfindungs gemäβ ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Backen der Halterung durch ein auf zug beanspruchter Element verbunden sind, welches eine Spannung aufweist, die die Kontaktflächen an den Brausekopf anlegen.Erfindungs gemäβ provided that the two jaws of the holder are connected by a claimed element on train, which has a voltage that create the contact surfaces of the shower head.

Das auf zug beanspruchter Element kann insbesondere derart ausgebildet sein, dass bei eingesetztem Brausekopf eine flächige Anlage zumindest in zwei Bereichen zwischen dem auf zug beanspruchter Element und dem Brausekopfgehäuse gegeben ist. Dies kann sowohl durch eine Anpassung der Form des auf zug beanspruchter Elements an die Form des Gehäuses als auch durch eine flexible Ausgestaltung des auf zug beanspruchter Elements bewirkt werden.The claimed element on train may in particular be designed such that, when the shower head is inserted, a planar contact is provided at least in two areas between the element claimed on the train and the showerhead housing. This can be effected both by an adaptation of the shape of the element claimed on train to the shape of the housing as well as by a flexible embodiment of the element claimed on train.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich, dass das Zugelement, das die Backen der Halterung verbindet, so ausgebildet ist, dass es das Brausekopfgehäuse an keiner Stelle berührt.It is also possible that the pulling element which connects the jaws of the holder, is designed so that it touches the showerhead housing at any point.

Durch die Gabelung des Wandarms wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, dass die Halterung zwischen den beiden Zinken der Gabel angeordnet ist.The fork of the Wandarms creates the possibility that the holder between the two prongs of the fork is arranged.

Die Gabelung des Wandarms kann sich beispielsweise über die gesamte Länge des Wandarms erstrecken. Es ist aber ebenfalls möglich und wird von Erfindung bevorzugt, dass die Gabelung zwischen dem Anbringungsbauteil und dem freien Ende beginnt, vorzugsweise etwa in der Mitte der Längserstreckung.The bifurcation of the wall arm may, for example, extend over the entire length of the wall arm. However, it is also possible and preferred by the invention that the fork between the attachment member and the free end begins, preferably approximately in the middle of the longitudinal extent.

Es ist auch möglich, dass der Arm nicht gegabelt verläuft und die Halterung für den Brausekopf im Bereich des freien Endes des Wandarms angeordnet ist, wobei die Anordnung sowohl seitlich als auch mittig erfolgen kann.It is also possible that the arm is not forked and the holder for the shower head is located in the region of the free end of the Wandarms, the arrangement can be done both laterally and centrally.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Brausekopf als Handbrause mit einem an dem Gehäuse der Handbrause eingesetzten Griff ausgebildet ist. Die Befestigung des Brausekopfs an der Halterung geschieht aber nicht an dem Griff, sondern an dem Gehäuse des Brausekopfes.According to the invention it can be provided that the shower head is designed as a hand shower with a handle inserted on the housing of the hand shower. The attachment of the shower head to the bracket is not done on the handle, but on the housing of the shower head.

Als besonders günstig hat es sich herausgestellt, wenn das Brausekopfgehäuse die Form eines Diskus aufweist.To be particularly favorable, it has been found that the showerhead housing has the shape of a discus.

Der zu dem Brausekopf führende Schlauch kann vorzugsweise an dem Anbringungsbauteil angeschlossen sein. Das Anbringungsbauteil kann dann über eine andere Anordnung mit der Hausinstallation verbunden sein.The hose leading to the shower head may preferably be connected to the attachment component. The attachment component may then be connected to the domestic installation via another arrangement.

Das Zug element kann insbesondere derart ausgebildet sein, dass es bei abgenommenem Brausekopf als Griff für den Arm dienen kann. Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorzüge der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Patentansprüchen und der Zusammenfassung, deren Wortlaut durch Bezugnahme zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht wird, der folgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sowie anhand der Zeichnung.

Die Figuren 1 und 8 zeigen keine Ausführungsform der Erfindung.The FIGS. 1 and 8 show no embodiment of the invention.

Figur 1 zeigt stark vereinfacht von der Seite her einen Brausehalter nach der Erfindung. Dieser Brausehalter ist im dargestellten Beispiel an einer Wand 1 angebracht. Zur Anbringung an der Wand dient ein Anbringungsbauteil 2, im dargestellten Beispiel in Form einer Konsole 3, die beispielsweise an die Wand geschraubt wird. In der Konsole 3 erfolgt eine Verbindung mit einer von einer Mischarmatur kommenden Wasserleitung. An einem Vorsprung 4 der Konsole 3 ist ein Wandarm 5 schwenkbar gelagert. Die Schwenkachse verläuft horizontal und senkrecht zur Papierebene. Zur Feststellung des Wandarms 5 in einer bestimmten Winkelposition dient eine Klemmschraube, die mit Hilfe eines Griffs 6 betätigt werden kann. Der Wandarm erstreckt sich von dem Anbringungsbauteil 2 von der Wand weg und endet in einem freien Ende 7. Im Bereich des freien Endes 7 ist an dem Wandarm 5 eine in der Figur 1 nicht näher erläuterte Halterung für einen Brausekopf 8 angebracht. Der Brausekopf 8 ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform scheibenförmig. Er ist mit einem Handgriff 9 versehen, der gegenüber der Ebene des Brausekopfs 8 leicht abgewinkelt ist. In den Handgriff 9 führt ein Brauseschlauch 10, der von dort aus dann frei herunter hängt, was im Einzelnen nicht dargestellt ist. Das andere Ende des Brauseschlauchs 10 ist an dem Anbringungsbauteil 2 angeschlossen. Der Wandarm 5 kann, wie bereits erwähnt, um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkt werden, so dass er beim Verschwenken nach oben und Verschwenken nach unten unterschiedliche Winkelpositionen gegenüber der Wand einnimmt. Der Verschwenkwinkel des Wandarms 5 beträgt beispielsweise 180 Grad. FIG. 1 shows greatly simplified from the side of a shower holder according to the invention. This shower holder is in the example shown on a Wall 1 attached. For attachment to the wall is a mounting member 2, in the example shown in the form of a console 3, which is screwed for example to the wall. In the console 3, a connection is made with a coming from a mixing valve water pipe. At a projection 4 of the console 3, a wall arm 5 is pivotally mounted. The pivot axis is horizontal and perpendicular to the paper plane. To determine the Wandarms 5 in a certain angular position is a clamping screw which can be operated by means of a handle 6. The wall arm extends from the attachment member 2 away from the wall and terminates in a free end 7. In the region of the free end 7 is on the wall arm 5 in the FIG. 1 unspecified explained mounting bracket for a shower head 8. The shower head 8 is disk-shaped in the illustrated embodiment. It is provided with a handle 9, which is slightly angled relative to the plane of the shower head 8. In the handle 9 performs a shower hose 10, which then hangs freely from there, which is not shown in detail. The other end of the shower hose 10 is connected to the attachment member 2. The wall arm 5 can, as already mentioned, be pivoted about a horizontal axis, so that it occupies different angular positions relative to the wall when pivoting upwards and pivoting downwards. The pivot angle of the wall arm 5 is for example 180 degrees.

Die Figur 2 zeigt nun eine Aufsicht auf die Anordnung der Figur 1 in vereinfachter Darstellung. Der Wandarm 5 gabelt sich kurz hinter seiner Anbringungsstelle an der Konsole 3. Er bildet dadurch zwei Zinken 11, die divergierend ausgebildet sind und im Bereich des freien Endes 7 des Wandarms wieder parallel zueinander verlaufen. Dort ist zwischen den beiden Enden 12 der beiden Zinken eine Halterung 13 vorgesehen, die bereits erwähnt wurde. Die Halterung haltert den Brausekopf 8, der sich also zwischen den beiden vorderen Enden 12 befindet.The FIG. 2 now shows a view of the arrangement of FIG. 1 in a simplified representation. The wall arm 5 bifurcates shortly behind its attachment to the console 3. It thus forms two prongs 11, which are formed diverging and in the region of the free end 7 of the Wandarms again parallel to each other. There is provided between the two ends 12 of the two prongs a holder 13, which has already been mentioned. The bracket holds the shower head 8, which is thus located between the two front ends 12.

Wie die Halterung im Einzelnen aussieht, kann man in einem ersten Beispiel der Figur 3 entnehmen. Das Gehäuse des Brausekopfs 8 ist scheibenförmig mit einem Umfang ausgebildet, der etwa elliptisch verläuft. An der Innenseite der beiden Schenkel 11 des Wandarms 5 sind zwei Backen 14 angeordnet, deren Innenkontur die gleiche Form aufweist wie die Außenkontur des Brausekopfgehäuses. Dadurch wird der Brausekopf 8 in einer Art Formschluss aufgenommen, wobei der Formschluss nach oben und unten wirkt. In der Richtung senkrecht zur Papierebene erfolgt die Festlegung allerdings kraftschlüssig. Zu diesem Zwecke erfolgt entweder eine indirekte Klemmung in jedem einzelnen Klemmbacken 14, oder aber einer Beaufschlagung der beiden Klemmbacken 14 aufeinander zu. Diese Beaufschlagung der beiden Klemmbacken 14 auf einander zu kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass ihr gegenseitiger Abstand etwas kleiner ist als die entsprechende Querabmessung bzw. der Durchmesser des Brausekopfgehäuses 8. Damit wird eine Beaufschlagung durch das Einschieben des Brausekopfgehäuses senkrecht zur Papierebene zwischen die beiden Klemmbacken 14 erreicht. Die Beaufschlagung wird also durch eine Verformung der beiden Arme 11 des Wandarms bewirkt. Die Erstreckung der Klemmbacken 14 senkrecht zur Papierebene der Figur 3 ist relativ kurz, so dass sie nur an dem Brausekopfgehäuse an zwei diametral gegenüberliegenden Stellen über eine sehr kurze Länge des Umfangs angreifen. Dies ist vereinfacht in Figur 4 dargestellt.As the holder looks in detail, you can in a first example of the FIG. 3 remove. The housing of the shower head 8 is disc-shaped with a circumference which extends approximately elliptical. On the inside of the two legs 11 of the wall arm 5, two jaws 14 are arranged, whose inner contour has the same shape as the outer contour of the shower head housing. As a result, the shower head 8 is received in a kind of positive engagement, the positive engagement acts up and down. In the direction perpendicular to the paper plane, however, the determination is made non-positively. For this purpose, either an indirect clamping in each jaw 14, or to an admission of the two jaws 14 toward each other. This loading of the two jaws 14 on each other can be achieved in that their mutual distance is slightly smaller than the corresponding transverse dimension or the diameter of the showerhead housing 8. This is an admission by inserting the shower head housing perpendicular to the paper plane between the two jaws 14th reached. The application is thus effected by a deformation of the two arms 11 of the wall arm. The extension of the jaws 14 perpendicular to the plane of the paper FIG. 3 is relatively short, so that they attack only on the showerhead housing at two diametrically opposite locations over a very short length of the circumference. This is simplified in FIG. 4 shown.

In Figur 5 ist gezeigt, wie die beiden Backen 14 der Halterung durch einen Bügel 15 miteinander verbunden sein können, der entweder der Form des Brausekopfgehäuses 8 angepasst ist oder derart flexibel ausgebildet ist, dass er sich dieser Form anpasst. Durch den Bügel 15, der im wesentlichen auf Zug beansprucht wird, kann eine Verstärkung der Klemmwirkung erreicht werden.In FIG. 5 It is shown how the two jaws 14 of the holder can be connected to each other by a bracket 15 which is either adapted to the shape of the showerhead housing 8 or is designed to be flexible so that it adapts to this shape. By the bracket 15, which is claimed essentially to train, an amplification of the clamping action can be achieved.

Die beiden Klemmbacken 14 sind an den vorderen Enden 12 der beiden Arme 11 des Wandarms drehbar angebracht, so dass die Halterung zusammen mit dem Brausekopf 8 um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkt werden kann. Es kann ein Arretierelement vorgesehen sein, ähnlich wie der Drehgriff 6 der Figur 1, um den Brausekopf in einer bestimmten Stellung arretieren zu können.The two jaws 14 are rotatably mounted on the front ends 12 of the two arms 11 of the wall arm, so that the holder can be pivoted together with the shower head 8 about a horizontal axis. It may be provided a locking element, similar to the rotary handle 6 of FIG. 1 to lock the shower head in a certain position.

Der Brausekopf kann am Griff 9 angefasst und senkrecht zu Papierebene vorzugsweise in Richtung auf die Wand aus der Halterung herausgezogen werden. Wenn die Backen 14, siehe auch Figur 4, in der Mittelebene des Brausekopfgehäuses 8 eine kreisbogenförmige Innenkontur 16 aufweisen, erfolgt auch eine gewisse Verrastung des Brausekopfgehäuses in der Halterung, ohne dass das Brausekopfgehäuse einer Form aufzuweisen braucht, an der man erkennen kann, dass diese Stelle gehaltert werden soll. Man kann dem aus der Halterung entnommenen Brausekopf nicht ansehen, dass er zur Anbringung in einem Brausehalter bestimmt ist.The shower head can be touched on the handle 9 and pulled out of the holder perpendicular to the plane of the paper, preferably in the direction of the wall. If the jaws 14, see also FIG. 4 , in the center plane of the showerhead housing 8 have a circular arc-shaped inner contour 16, there is also a certain locking of the showerhead housing in the holder, without the showerhead housing has to have a shape at which it can be seen that this position should be supported. One can not see the shower head taken out of the holder that it is intended to be mounted in a shower holder.

Die Ausführungsform der Figur 6 unterscheidet sich von den vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen dadurch, dass der Wandarm 25 nicht gegabelt ist, sondern nur einen einzigen Arm 11 aufweist, der allerdings unsymmetrisch angeordnet ist. Im Bereich des vorderen Endes 12 des Arms 11 ist die Halterung 13 seitlich angebracht. Auch hier kann die Halterung 13 ein auf Zug beanspruchtes Spannelement 15 enthalten, das die beiden Backen 14 der Halterung aufeinander zu verspannt, zumindest dann, wenn das Brausekopfgehäuse 8 eingesetzt ist. Zur Verdrehung um die vordere Achse kann seitlich ein Griffknopf 24 angebracht sein.The embodiment of the FIG. 6 differs from the previous embodiments in that the wall arm 25 is not forked, but has only a single arm 11, which, however, is arranged asymmetrically. In the area of the front end 12 of the arm 11, the bracket 13 is attached laterally. Again, the bracket 13 may include a tensioned on tension element 15, which braces the two jaws 14 of the holder towards each other, at least when the showerhead housing 8 is inserted. For rotation about the front axis, a handle button 24 may be attached laterally.

Die Konsole 3, die an der Wand 1 befestigt ist, ist hier aus zwei Teilen 3a, 3b aufgebaut. Das Teil 3b, an dem die Schwenkachse für den Wandarm 25 gelagert ist, kann insgesamt um eine gestrichelt angedeutete Achse 23 verdreht werden, die senkrecht zur Wandoberfläche und damit horizontal verläuft.The bracket 3, which is fixed to the wall 1, is here constructed of two parts 3a, 3b. The part 3b, on which the pivot axis is mounted for the wall arm 25, can be indicated overall by a dashed line Axis 23 are rotated, which is perpendicular to the wall surface and thus horizontal.

Selbstverständlich ist auch eine Ausführungsform möglich, bei der der Arm 11 geradlinig von der Konsole 3 absteht und die Halterung 13 mittig an dem vorderen Ende 12 des Arms 11 angebracht ist.Of course, an embodiment is possible in which the arm 11 projects straight from the bracket 3 and the bracket 13 is mounted centrally on the front end 12 of the arm 11.

Figur 7 zeigt eine der Figur 5 entsprechende Darstellung einer Halterung 13 für das Brausekopfgehäuse 8, wobei zur verbesserten Darstellung das Brausekopfgehäuse 8 nicht eingezeichnet ist. Das die beiden Backen 14 verbindende Zugelement 15' ist als parallel zu der Verbindungslinie verlaufender Bügel ausgebildet, so dass das Brausekopfgehäuse 8, wenn es zwischen die Backen 14 eingeschoben wird, das Zugelement 15' nicht berührt. Dennoch ist auch dieses Element 15' als Zugelement ausgebildet, um die zum Festhalten des Brausekopfgehäuses 8 nötige Klemmkraft zu erzeugen. FIG. 7 shows one of the FIG. 5 corresponding representation of a holder 13 for the showerhead housing 8, wherein the showerhead housing 8 is not shown for improved illustration. The two jaws 14 connecting tension member 15 'is formed as parallel to the connecting line extending bracket, so that the showerhead housing 8 when it is inserted between the jaws 14, the tension member 15' is not touched. Nevertheless, this element 15 'is also designed as a tension element in order to generate the clamping force necessary for holding the showerhead housing 8.

Figur 8 zeigt nun eine der Figur 1 ähnliche Brausehalterung, bei der nur die Halterung für den Brausekopf geändert ist. Im Bereich des freien Endes 7 des Arms 5 ist eine Konushalterung 27 angebracht, in die von oben der Griff des Brausekopfs 28 eingesteckt ist. Konushalter dieser Art greifen an dem Griff oder einer am Ende des Griffs angeordnete Überwurfmutter an. Die von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Anbringungsmöglichkeit ist also bei allen Arten von Handbrausen verwendbar, die mit einer Halterung an einem Wandarm angebracht werden können. FIG. 8 now shows one of the FIG. 1 similar shower bracket, in which only the bracket for the shower head is changed. In the area of the free end 7 of the arm 5, a cone holder 27 is mounted, in which the handle of the shower head 28 is inserted from above. Conical holders of this type engage the handle or a union nut arranged at the end of the handle. The possibility of attachment proposed by the invention is therefore useful in all types of hand showers that can be mounted with a bracket on a wall bracket.
