Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brausehalter zur Befestigung einer Handbrause an einer Brausestange mit

  • a) einer Durchgangsbohrung für die Brausestange;
  • b) einem Klemm-Mechanismus zur Festlegung des Brausehalters in unterschiedlichen axialen Positionen an der Brausestange;
  • c) einer Aufnahme mit einer Bohrung, in welche der Haltekonus der Handbrause eingesetzt werden kann, wobei die Bohrung zwei gegenläufig komische Bereiche aufweist, die jeweils an ihrer Stelle kleinsten Durchmessers miteinander verbunden sind; und
  • d) einem den Klemm-Mechanismus abdeckenden Sichtgehäuse, welches auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils mit einer Öffnung versehen ist, durch welche ein Bereich der Aufnahme bzw. eines Bedienungsgriffes für den Klemm-Mechanismus eingeführt ist.
  • The invention relates to a shower holder for attaching a hand shower to a shower rail with
  • a) a through hole for the shower rail;
  • b) a clamping mechanism for fixing the shower bracket in different axial positions on the shower rail;
  • c) a receptacle with a bore into which the holding cone of the hand shower can be inserted, the bore having two oppositely comical areas which are each connected to one another in their place of the smallest diameter; and
  • d) a viewing housing covering the clamping mechanism, which is provided on opposite sides in each case with an opening through which an area of the receptacle or an operating handle for the clamping mechanism is inserted.
  • Ein derartiger Brausehalter ist in der DE 35 07 291 A1 offenbart. Dieser weist einen wahlweise rechts oder links von der Brausestange aubringbaren Bedienungsgriff für den Klemm-Mechanismus auf, der seitlich an dem Brausehalter angeordnet ist und offensichtlich durch zusätzliche, nicht dargestellte Elemente gesichert ist. Als Sichtgehäuse dienen zwei Schenkelteile, zwischen denen ein Spalt liegt, in dem eine Klemmscheibe angeordnet ist.Such a shower holder is in DE 35 07 291 A1 discloses. This has an operating handle that can be attached to the right or left of the shower rail Clamping mechanism on the side of the shower holder is arranged and obviously by additional, not elements shown is secured. As a see-through housing serve two leg parts, between which there is a gap, in which a clamping disc is arranged.

    Nachteilig bei einem derartigen Brausehalter ist jedoch, daß das Abnehmen des Sichtgehäuses relativ aufwendig ist. Außerdem können sich im Spalt zwischen den Schenkeln Verschmutzungen ablagern, welche durch von mit Seife vermischtem Spritzwasser herrühren und die Funktionsfähigkeit der Vorrichtung beeinträchtigen können. Schließlich führt die Sicherung des Bedienungsgriffes zu zusätzlichen Herstellungs- und Montagekosten.However, the disadvantage of such a shower holder is that that the removal of the viewing housing is relatively expensive. It can also be in the gap between the legs Deposits that accumulate with soap mixed splash water and the functionality can affect the device. Finally securing the control handle leads to additional ones Manufacturing and assembly costs.

    Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Brausehalter zu schaffen, dessen Sichtgehäuse mit einfachen Mitteln eingesetzt bzw. ausgetauscht werden kann, und dessen Bediengriff ohne zusätzliche Sicherungsteile gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Abfallen gesichert ist.The object of the invention is therefore a shower holder to create its transparent housing with simple means can be used or exchanged, and its control handle without additional safety parts against accidental Falling is secured.

    Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Brausehalter der eingangs genannten Art, bei welchem

  • e) das Sichtgehäuse aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Teilen lösbar zusammengesetzt ist, und
  • f) eines der beiden Teile des Sichtgehäuses von außen her derart über einer radial verlaufenden Fläche des in das Sichtgehäuse eingeführten Bereiches des Bedienungsgriffes liegt, daß der Bedienungsgriff nicht mehr entfernt werden kann, wenn die beiden Teile des Sichtgehäuses zusammengefügt sind.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by a shower holder of the type mentioned, in which
  • e) the see-through housing is releasably assembled from two interconnected parts, and
  • f) one of the two parts of the viewing housing from the outside lies over a radially extending surface of the area of the operating handle inserted into the viewing housing such that the operating handle can no longer be removed when the two parts of the viewing housing are joined together.
  • Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Brausehalter kann aufgrund der Zweistückigkeit und der Lösbarkeit der beiden Teilstücke des Sichtgehäuses dieses auf einfache Art und Weise demontiert und wieder montiert werden. Schließlich ist der Bediengriff ohne zusätzliche Sicherungselemente allein durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Sichtgehäuses gegen Abfallen gesichert, wodurch der Herstellungs- und Montageaufwand erheblich reduziert wird. In the shower holder according to the invention can due to the Two pieces and the solvability of the two sections of the display housing this in a simple way disassembled and reassembled. Finally, the control handle without additional securing elements the inventive design of the viewing housing against Secured falling, which reduces the manufacturing and assembly costs is significantly reduced.

    Besonders vorteilhaft dabei ist, wenn die beiden Teile des Sichtgehäuses elastisch miteinander verrastet sind, da für diese Befestigungsart kein Werkzeug und keine weiteren Befestigungselemente benötigt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the two parts of the viewing housing are elastically locked together, because there are no tools and no tools for this type of attachment additional fasteners are required.

    Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung des Klemm-Mechanismus zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß an den Bedienungsgriff ein zylindrischer Kragen angeformt ist, der mit einem Gewinde auf einem komplementären Gewinde eines Teils des Klemm-Mechanismus axial verschraubbar ist, und daß an dem Kragen ein radial überstehender Ringsteg angeformt ist, der auf eine Klemmlasche des Klemm-Mechanismus einwirkt und diese bei seiner axialen Bewegung mitnimmt, wobei der lichte Querschnitt der Durchgangsbohrung für die Brausestange veränderbar ist. So läßt sich die Drehbewegung des Bedienungsgriffs über die Gewindeverbindung mit dem stationären Teil des Klemm-Mechanismus in eine Axialbewegung und diese schließlich wiederum in eine Bewegung der Klemmlasche umsetzen.An appropriate design of the clamping mechanism is characterized in that the operating handle a cylindrical collar is formed, which with a Thread on a complementary thread of a part the clamping mechanism is axially screwable, and that a radially projecting ring web is formed on the collar is on a clamping tab of the clamping mechanism acts and takes it along with its axial movement, the clear cross section of the through hole for the shower rail is changeable. So the rotation can be done of the operating handle via the threaded connection with the stationary part of the clamping mechanism in one Axial movement and this finally turn into one Implement the movement of the clamping tab.

    Von Vorteil ist, wenn die Durchgangsbohrung für die Brausestange in einem Klemmstück ausgebildet ist, an welchem auch das mit dem Gewinde des Bedienungsgriffs zusammenwirkende Gewinde vorgesehen und an dem die Klemmlasche einstückig angeformt ist. Hierdurch wird die Anzahl der zusammenzubauenden Komponenten reduziert, was die Montage vereinfacht und die Herstellung verbilligt.It is advantageous if the through hole for the Shower rail is formed in a clamping piece which also with the thread of the control handle cooperating thread provided and on which the clamping tab is integrally formed. This will make the Reduced number of components to be assembled, which simplifies assembly and reduces manufacturing costs.

    Die Aufnahme kann an dem Klemmstück drehbar geführt sein. Auf diese Weise läßt sich die Neigung der an dem Brausehalter eingesetzten Handbrause nach Wunsch des Benutzers veränden.The receptacle can be rotatably guided on the clamping piece his. In this way, the inclination of the Shower holder used hand shower at the request of Change user.

    Dabei sollte zwischen der Aufnahme und dem Klemmstück ein Reibring angeordnet sein. Dieser Reibring bildet eine Art Reibungsbremse, die dafür sorgt, daß sich die Aufnahme gegenüber dem Klemmstück nicht unbeabsichtigt, beispielsweise unter dem Gewicht der Handbrause, verdreht.It should be between the receptacle and the clamp a friction ring can be arranged. This friction ring forms a kind of friction brake, which ensures that the Recording unintentionally compared to the clamping piece, for example, under the weight of the hand shower.

    Wenn die Aufnahme und das Klemmstück durch eine Feder gegeneinander gedrückt werden, wird durch die Federkraft gleichzeitig für eine spielfreie Lagerung und für eine definierte Bremskraft gesorgt. Diese Ausgestaltung der Reibungsbremse ermöglicht also ein konstantes Reibmoment, das unabhängig von der Klemmeinstellung des Bedienungsgriffes ist. If the receptacle and the clamping piece by a spring are pressed against each other by the spring force at the same time for play-free storage and for one defined braking force. This configuration of the Friction brake therefore enables a constant friction torque regardless of the clamp setting of the control handle is.

    Die Federkraft läßt sich leicht dadurch einstellbar machen, daß die Feder zwischen dem Kopf einer Schraube und dem Klemmstück verspannt ist, wobei die Schraube eine Bohrung des Klemmstückes durchsetzt und in die Aufnahme eingedreht ist. Je nachdem, wie weit die Schraube in die Aufnahme eingedreht ist, ist der Überstand des Kopfes über das Klemmstück unterschiedlich groß; entsprechend unterschiedlich ist die Kompression der Feder, welche letztendlich die Anpreßkraft zwischen Aufnahme und Klemmstück bestimmt.The spring force can be easily adjusted make that spring between the head of a screw and the clamp is clamped, the screw penetrates a bore of the clamping piece and into the Recording is turned. Depending on how far the screw is screwed into the receptacle, the overhang of the Head over the clamping piece of different sizes; corresponding the compression of the spring is different, which is ultimately the contact pressure between the recording and Clamp determined.

    An der Schraube kann eine Anschlagfläche vorgesehen sein, die beim Eindrehen der Schraube an einer Fläche der Aufnahme anstößt, wodurch eine definierte Kompression der Feder und damit ein bestimmtes Bremsmoment werksseitig vorgegeben werden können.A stop surface can be provided on the screw, which when screwing in the screw on a surface of the Recording abuts, creating a defined compression the spring and thus a certain braking torque ex works can be specified.

    Wenn die verschiedenen Komponenten des Klemmstückes aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden sollen, empfiehlt sich, daß die Schraube in eine in der Aufnahme befestigte Metall-Gewindehülse eingedreht ist. In Kunststoffmaterial ausgebildete Gewinde sind bekanntlich nicht sehr belastbar; deshalb wird zumindest das Gewinde in ein metallisches Teil, eben eine gesonderte Gewindehülse, eingeformt.If the various components of the clamping piece should be made of plastic itself that the screw fastened in one in the receptacle Metal threaded sleeve is screwed in. In plastic material trained threads are not known very resilient; therefore at least the thread is in a metallic part, just a separate threaded sleeve, formed.

    Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert; es zeigen

    Figur 1:
    die Vorderansicht eines Brausehalters, teilweise im Schnitt;
    Figur 2:
    einen Schnitt gemäß Linie II - II von Figur 1.
    An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing; show it
    Figure 1:
    the front view of a shower holder, partly in section;
    Figure 2:
    a section along line II - II of Figure 1.

    In Figur 1 ist die Vorderansicht eines Brausehalters dargestellt, der insgesamt das Bezugszeichen 1 trägt. Er ist in an und für sich bekannter Weise auf einer Brausestange 2 (teilweise dargestellt) verschiebbar und in unterschiedlichen axialen Positionen an dieser festlegbar ist. Für den Benutzer sind drei Hauptkomponenten des Brausehalters 1 erkennbar: eine Aufnahme 3 für die Handbrause, ein die Innenteile überdeckendes mittleres Sichtgehäuse 4 sowie ein Bedienungsgriff 5, welcher dem Verklemmen bzw. Lösen des Brausehalters 1 an bzw. von der Brausestange 2 dient.In Figure 1 is the front view of a shower holder shown, which bears the overall reference number 1. It is in a way known per se on a shower rail 2 (partially shown) slidable and in different axial positions can be determined at this is. For the user, three main components of the Shower holder 1 recognizable: a holder 3 for the hand shower, a middle one covering the inner parts Viewing housing 4 and an operating handle 5, which jamming or loosening the shower holder 1 or from the shower rail 2.

    Die Aufnahme 3 weist eine parallel zur Brausestange 2 laufende Durchgangsbohrung 6 auf, die in zwei gegensinnig konische Bereiche 6a und 6b unterteilt ist. Der Durchmesser der Bereiche 6a und 6b ist in der Mitte der Durchgangsbohrung 6, an der die Bereiche 6a und 6b aneinanderstoßen, am kleinsten. Die Bohrungsbereiche 6a und 6b erweitern sich also nach außen.The receptacle 3 has a parallel to the shower rail 2 running through hole 6 on the two in opposite directions conical areas 6a and 6b is divided. The The diameter of the regions 6a and 6b is in the middle the through hole 6 on which the areas 6a and 6b bump together, smallest. The bore areas 6a and 6b thus expand outwards.

    Ein Schlitz 7 verbindet die Durchgangsbohrung 6 mit der vorne liegenden Seitenfläche der Aufnahme 3.A slot 7 connects the through hole 6 with the front side surface of the holder 3.

    Die Durchgangsbohrung 6 dient der Aufnahme eines Befestigungskonus, wie er sich üblicherweise am Handgriff jeder Handbrause befindet. In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Position, in welcher sich der Bohrungsabschnitt 6a oberhalb des Bohrungsabschnittes 6b und in der Sicht des Betrachters der Bedienungsknopf 5 auf der rechten Seite der Brausestange 2 befindet, wird der Befestigungskonus der Handbrause in den obenliegenden Bereich 6a der Durchgangsbohrung 6 eingeführt und kommt dort formschlüssig zur Anlage. Der untere Bereich 6b der Durchgangsbohrung 6 ist in diesem Falle funktionslos. Das Einführen des Brauseschlauches, der mit der Handbrause verbunden ist, erfolgt durch den Schlitz 7 der Aufnahme 3.The through hole 6 serves to receive a fastening cone, as is usually the case with the handle each hand shower is located. In the illustrated in Figure 1 Position in which the bore section 6a above the bore section 6b and in the view of the viewer, the control button 5 the right side of the shower bar 2 is located the cone of the hand shower in the overhead Area 6a of the through hole 6 is introduced and comes to the plant there with a positive fit. The lower Area 6b of the through hole 6 is in this case function. Introducing the shower hose, the connected to the hand shower is done by the Slot 7 of the receptacle 3.

    Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Konfiguration ist besonders für Rechtshänder geeignet, da sich der Bedienungsgriff 5 auf der rechten Seite der Brausestange 2 befindet. Für Linkshänder dagegen ist diese geometrische Anordnung weniger praktisch. In diesem Falle kann der Brausehalter 1 in folgender Weise ummontiert werden: Der Brausehalter 1 wird insgesamt von der Brausestange 2 abgenommen, dann so um 180° verdreht, daß sich nunmehr der Bedienungsgriff 5 auf der links von der Brausestange 2 liegenden Seite und die Aufnahme 3 mit nach vorne zeigendem Schlitz 7 auf der rechts von der Brausestange 2 liegenden Seite befinden. In dieser Position ist der Bereich 6b der Durchgangsbohrung 6 der Aufnahme 3 der oben liegende Bereich. Er dient in diesem Falle der Aufnahme des Haltekonus des Brauseschlauches, während jetzt der Bereich 6a der Durchgangsbohrung 6 im wesentlichen funktionslos ist.The configuration shown in the drawing is Particularly suitable for right-handers because the control handle 5 on the right side of the shower rail 2 is located. For left-handers, however, this is geometric Arrangement less practical. In this case the shower holder 1 can be reassembled in the following way : The shower holder 1 is off the shower rail 2 removed, then rotated by 180 ° so that now the control handle 5 on the left of the shower bar 2 side and the holder 3 with forward-facing slot 7 on the right of the Shower rail 2 lying side. In this position is the area 6b of the through hole 6 Image 3 of the area above. He serves in this If the holding cone of the shower hose is received, while now the area 6a of the through hole 6 in is essentially inoperative.

    Die Art und Weise, in welcher mittels des Bedienungsgriffes 5 der Brausehalter 1 an der Brausestange 2 festgelegt werden kann, ist aus der als Schnitt gemäß Linie II - II von Figur 1 angelegten Figur 2 zu erkennen.The way in which the control handle 5 the shower holder 1 is fixed on the shower rail 2 can be cut from the line cut II - II of Figure 1 created Figure 2 can be seen.

    Figur 2 zeigt zunächst wieder die drei bereits erwähnten Hauptkomponenten, nämlich links von der Brausestange 2 die Aufnahme 3 mit der Durchgangsbohrung 6 und dem nach vorne zeigenden Schlitz 7, das Sichtgehäuse 4, welches die inneren Komponenten den Blicken des Benutzers entzieht, sowie den rechts von der Brausestange 2 angeordneten Bedienungsgriff 5. Aus Figur 2 ist darüber hinaus zu entnehmen, daß an die Aufnahme 3 ein zylindrischer Hals 8 einstückig angeformt ist, der in einem Bereich 9a größeren Durchmessers einer Stufenbohrung 9 eines insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehenen Klemmstücks verdrehbar aufgenommen ist. Zwischen einer Ringschulter 11, die sich am Übergang zwischen dem innerhalb des Sichtgehäuses 4 angeordneten Hals 8 der Aufnahme 3 und dem außerhalb des Sichtgehäuses 4 liegenden Bereich der Aufnahme 3 befindet, und einer hierzu parallelen Ringschulter 12 am Klemmstück 10 ist ein Reibring 13 angeordnet. Dieser stellt bei fertig montiertem Brausehalter 1 sicher, daß die Aufnahme 3 sich zwar gegenüber dem Klemmstück 10 unter Kraftaufwand verdrehen läßt, eine unbeabsichtigte Verstellung, insbesondere auch unter dem Gewicht der eingehängten Handbrause, jedoch nicht stattfinden kann.Figure 2 shows again the three already mentioned Main components, namely to the left of the shower rail 2 the receptacle 3 with the through hole 6 and forward-facing slot 7, the viewing housing 4, which the internal components the user's gaze withdrawn, and the one arranged to the right of the shower bar 2 Control handle 5. From Figure 2 is above furthermore that a cylindrical to the receptacle 3 Neck 8 is integrally formed in one area 9a larger diameter of a stepped bore 9 a overall provided with the reference numeral 10 clamping piece is rotatably received. Between a ring shoulder 11, located at the transition between the inside of the Viewing housing 4 arranged neck 8 of the receptacle 3 and the area outside the viewing housing 4 the receptacle 3 is located, and a ring shoulder parallel to this A friction ring 13 is arranged on the clamping piece 10. This provides with the shower holder fully assembled 1 sure that the receptacle 3 is opposite the clamping piece 10 can be twisted with force, an unintentional Adjustment, especially under the weight the suspended hand shower, but not take place can.

    In einer durch den Hals 8 der Aufnahme 3 koaxial verlaufenden Sackbohrung 14 ist eine Metall-Gewindehülse 15 eingeklebt bzw. in sonstiger Weise befestigt. Die Gewindehülse 15 dient der Aufnahme des Gewindes einer Schraube 16, die durch den mit der Gewindehülse 15 axial fluchtenden Bereich 9b kleineren Durchmessers der Stufenbohrung 9 im Klemmstück 10 hindurchgeführt ist. Zwischen dem Kopf 17 der Schraube 16 und einer an einer Außenfläche des Klemmstückes 10 anliegenden Beilagscheibe 18 ist eine Druckfeder 19 verspannt. Diese Druckfeder 19 sorgt für eine ständige kraftschlüssige Anlage der Aufnahme 3 am Bremsring 13 und für dessen kraftschlüssige Anlage am Klemmstück 10, wobei die Anpreßkraft dadurch in gewissem Umfange eingestellt werden kann, daß die Schraube 16 unterschiedlich tief in die Hülse 15 eingedreht wird. Durch die Stufe zwischen dem Gewindeabschnitt und dem gewindefreien Abschnitt der Schraube 16 wird eine Anschlagfläche gebildet, die durch Anstoßen an der Hülse 15 bzw. an der Aufnahme 8 das Eindrehen der Schraube begrenzt.In a coaxial through the neck 8 of the receptacle 3 Blind bore 14 is a metal threaded sleeve 15 glued or fastened in any other way. The threaded sleeve 15 serves to receive the thread of a screw 16, which is axially aligned with the threaded sleeve 15 Area 9b of smaller diameter of the stepped bore 9 in Clamping piece 10 is passed. Between head 17 the screw 16 and one on an outer surface of the clamping piece 10 adjacent washer 18 is a compression spring 19 braced. This compression spring 19 ensures a permanent positive connection of the receptacle 3 on the brake ring 13 and for its non-positive contact on the clamping piece 10, wherein the contact pressure is set to a certain extent can be that the screw 16 in different depths the sleeve 15 is screwed in. By the step between the threaded section and the unthreaded section of the Screw 16 is formed by a stop surface Bumping against the sleeve 15 or the receptacle 8 Screwing in of the screw limited.

    Das Klemmstück 10 weist eine zylindrische Aufnahmebohrung 20 auf, in welche die Brausestange 2 eingeführt wird. Die Aufnahmebohrung 20 ist über einen Schlitz 21 geöffnet, der auf seiner in Figur 2 rechten Seite durch eine Klemmlasche 22 begrenzt wird.The clamping piece 10 has a cylindrical receiving bore 20, into which the shower rail 2 is inserted becomes. The receiving bore 20 is through a slot 21 opened, the one on its right in FIG. 2 is limited by a clamping tab 22.

    An das Klemmstück 10 ist koaxial zum Bereich 9b der Durchgangsbohrung 9 ein zylindrischer Hals 23 angeformt, der ein Außengewinde 24 trägt. Auf dieses Gewinde 24 ist ein Innengewinde 25 eines zylindrischen Kragens 26 aufgeschraubt, welcher einstückig an den Bedienungsgriff 5 angeformt ist und sich ins Innere des Sichtgehäuses 4 erstreckt. Der zylindrische Kragen 26 durchgreift dabei eine kreisförmige Öffnung 27 in der Klemmlasche 22 des Klemmstückes 20. An der äusseren Mantelfläche des Kragens 26 ist ein Ringsteg 28 angeformt, der an einer Stufe der Öffnung 27 des Klemmstückes 10 von außen her anliegt.At the clamping piece 10 is coaxial to the area 9b Through hole 9 a cylindrical neck 23 is formed, which carries an external thread 24. On this thread 24 is an internal thread 25 of a cylindrical collar 26 screwed, which in one piece on the operating handle 5 is integrally formed and inside the viewing housing 4 extends. The cylindrical collar 26 extends through thereby a circular opening 27 in the clamping tab 22 of the clamping piece 20. On the outer surface an annular web 28 is formed on the collar 26, at a step of the opening 27 of the clamping piece 10 from the outside.

    Der radial innerhalb des zylindrischen Kragens 26 des Bedienungsgriffes 5 liegende Raum 29 ist hohl und nimmt den aus dem Hals 23 des Klemmstückes 10 herausragenden Bereich der Schraube 16, insbesondere den Schraubenkopf 17, und die Druckfeder 19 auf.The radially inside the cylindrical collar 26 of the Operating handle 5 lying space 29 is hollow and takes protruding from the neck 23 of the clamping piece 10 Area of the screw 16, in particular the screw head 17, and the compression spring 19.

    Der Figur 2 ist ferner zu entnehmen, daß das Sichtgehäuse 4 aus einem vorderen Teil 4a und einem hinteren Teil 4b zusammengesetzt ist. In dem vorderen Teil 4a sind seitlich jeweils kreisförmige Durchgangsöffnungen 30 bzw. 31 vorgesehen, über welche Bereiche der Aufnahme 3 bzw. des Bedienungsgriffs 5 ins Innere des Sichtgehäuses 4 eingeführt sind. Das hintere Teil 4b ist als grob gesprochen halbzylindrisches Teil ausgebildet und umgibt schalenförmig denjenigen Bereich des Klemmstückes 10, durch welchen sich die Aufnahmebohrung 20 erstreckt. Die beiden Teile 4a und 4b des Sichtgehäuses 4 sind an der mit dem Bezugszeichen 32 gekennzeichneten Stelle elastisch miteinander verrastet. Der in Figur 2 rechts liegende, der Ringrippe 28 des Bedienungsgriffes 5 benachbarte Rand des hinteren Sichtgehäuseteiles 4b ist über die Ringrippe 28 bis nahe an die äußere Mantelfläche des zylindrischen Kragens 23 des Bedienungsgriffes 5 herangeführt.It can also be seen from FIG. 2 that the viewing housing 4 from a front part 4a and a rear part 4b is composed. In the front part 4a are Circular through openings 30 on each side or 31 provided over which areas of the receptacle 3 or the operating handle 5 into the interior of the viewing housing 4 are introduced. The rear part 4b is spoken roughly semi-cylindrical part formed and surrounds bowl-shaped that area of the clamping piece 10 by which the receiving bore 20 extends. The two Parts 4a and 4b of the viewing housing 4 are on the with Reference number 32 identified elastic with each other locked. The one on the right in FIG. 2, the Ring rib 28 of the control handle 5 adjacent edge of the rear view housing part 4b is over the annular rib 28th to close to the outer surface of the cylindrical Collar 23 of the control handle 5 brought up.

    Die Verklemmung des oben beschriebenen Brausehalters 1 an der Brausestange 2 geschieht wie folgt:The jamming of the shower holder 1 described above on the shower bar 2 happens as follows:

    Wird der Bedienungsgriff 5 in einem Drehsinn verdreht, so schraubt er sich auf dem Außengewinde 24 des Halses 23 des Klemmstückes 10 nach links, also weiter ins Innere des Sichtgehäuses 4 hinein. Der Ringsteg 28 drückt bei dieser Bewegung die Klemmlasche 22 des Klemmstückes 10 nach links, so daß sich die lichte Weite der Aufnahmebohrung 20 des Klemmstückes 10 verkleinert, bis schließlich das Klemmstück 10 und damit der gesamte Brausehalter 1 fest an der Brausestange 2 festgelegt ist. Wird der Bedienungsgriff 5 im entgegengesetzten Uhrzeigersinn verdreht, schraubt er sich auf dem Hals 23 des Klemmstückes 10 nach außen; die Klemmlasche 22 des Klemmstückes 10 folgt auf Grund ihrer Eigenelastizität. Nunmehr wird die lichte Weite der Aufnahmebohrung 20 des Klemmstückes 10 größer, bis schließlich die Verklemmung zwischen Aufnahmebohrung 20 und Brausestange 2 aufgehoben ist und der Brausehalter 1 sich nach Belieben auf der Brausestange 2 axial verschieben läßt.If the control handle 5 is turned in one direction, so he screws on the external thread 24 of the neck 23 of the clamping piece 10 to the left, so further inside of the viewing housing 4. The ring web 28 presses this movement, the clamping tab 22 of the clamping piece 10 to the left, so that the clear width of the location hole 20 of the clamping piece 10 reduced until finally the clamping piece 10 and thus the entire shower holder 1 is firmly attached to the shower rail 2. The operating handle 5 turns counterclockwise twisted, he screws himself on the neck 23 of the Clamping piece 10 to the outside; the clamping tab 22 of the clamping piece 10 follows due to its inherent elasticity. Now the clear width of the receiving bore 20 of the Clamping piece 10 larger until finally the jamming between receiving bore 20 and shower rail 2 canceled and the shower holder 1 is on the Allows shower rail 2 to move axially.

    Die Montage des oben beschriebenen Brausehalters 1 geschieht wie folgt:The shower holder 1 described above is assembled as follows:

    Das Klemmstück 10 wird mit dem Reibring 13 in das vordere Teil 4a des Sichtgehäuses 4 eingebracht. Durch die in Figur 2 linke Öffnung 30 des Sichtgehäuseteiles 4a wird der Hals 8 der Aufnahme 3 eingeführt und in den Bereich 9a der Stufenbohrung 9 des Klemmstückes 10 eingeschoben. Klemmstück 10 und Aufnahme 3 werden nunmehr durch die Schraube 16 in der oben geschilderten Weise miteinander so verbunden, daß die Aufnahme 3 gegenüber dem Klemmstück 10 mit einem gewissen Kraftaufwand verdreht werden kann. Nunmehr wird der zylindrische Kragen 26 des Bedienungsgriffes 5 durch die in Figur 2 rechte Öffnung 31 des Sichtgehäuseteiles 4a hindurch auf das Außengewinde 24 des Halses 23 des Klemmstückes 10 aufgeschraubt, bis der Ringsteg 28 an der Stufe der Öffnung 27 in der Klemmlasche 22 des Klemmstückes 10 anliegt. Als abschließender Montagevorgang wird das hintere Sichtgehäuseteil 4b von hinten her an dem vorderen Sichtgehäuseteil 4a verrastet. Da, wie oben schon erwähnt, das hintere Sichtgehäuseteil 4b nunmehr den Ringsteg 28 des zylindrischen Kragens 26 des Griffes 5 von außen her überdeckt, stellt das hintere Gehäuseteil 4b gleichzeitig einen Anschlag für die nach außen gerichtete Drehbewegung des Bedienungsgriffes 5 dar. Der Bedienungsgriff 5 kann daher nicht versehentlich ganz aus dem Brausehalter 1 herausgedreht werden und gegebenenfalls sogar verlorengehen.The clamping piece 10 is with the friction ring 13 in the front Part 4a of the viewing housing 4 introduced. By the figure 2 left opening 30 of the viewing housing part 4a Neck 8 of the receptacle 3 inserted and in the area 9a the stepped bore 9 of the clamping piece 10 inserted. Clamping piece 10 and receptacle 3 are now by the Screw 16 together in the manner described above connected so that the receptacle 3 opposite the clamping piece 10 can be rotated with a certain amount of force. Now the cylindrical collar 26 of the control handle 5 through the right opening 31 in FIG. 2 of the viewing housing part 4a through to the external thread 24 of the Neck 23 of the clamping piece 10 screwed on until Ring web 28 at the step of the opening 27 in the clamping tab 22 of the clamping piece 10 rests. As a final assembly process the rear housing part 4b from behind locked here on the front housing part 4a. There, as already mentioned above, the rear window housing part 4b now the annular web 28 of the cylindrical collar 26 of the handle 5 covered from the outside, that rear housing part 4b at the same time a stop for the outward rotation of the control handle 5 represents. The control handle 5 can not accidentally turned completely out of the shower holder 1 will and may even be lost.
