Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hygienic wall support device comprising: a rod support unit that can be mounted on a wall; a wall rod that is pivotally held at the rod support unit about a pivot axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod; and a sanitary article holding device that is longitudinally displaceable and removably held at the wall rod. Background Technology

[0002] These types of wall-mounted devices are used to hold a wall rod swayably against the wall by means of its rod support unit and to hold sanitary items, such as handbrauses (sometimes called hand showers), overhead or side sprays, or soap dispensers, at the wall rod by means of its sanitary item holding device, for example in a shower or bathroom. In the case of a spray device holder, the wall rod is often also called a spray device rod. The sanitary item holding device can be moved along the wall rod. In many applications, the wall rod is held vertically against the wall, so that the sanitary item holding device can move up and down at the wall rod and is thus height-adjustable.

[0003] The current wall rod is held in a pivoting manner, whereas in conventional sanitary wall support devices, the wall rod is rotatably fixed to the wall, either directly or via a rod support unit that can be mounted on the wall. Such typical sanitary wall support devices are disclosed, for example, in publications D 102 60 207 A1, WO 2005 / 068731, WO 2010 / 026359 A1, DE196 49 005 A1, WO2015 / 081733 A1, EP 2 642 033 A1 and CN 1091 62 3211 A.

[0004] In maintenance or cleaning situations, at least part of the wall rod and rod support unit often has to be disassembled in order to remove the sanitary item holder, or the sanitary item holder must be loosened from the wall rod in a relatively cumbersome manner and with poor accessibility to the corresponding connector.

[0005] A sanitary wall support device of the type described in published document EP 1 712 688 A2 is known. That wall support device has a lower wall-mountable bracket element and an upper wall-mountable bracket element as a rod support unit and an associated swing support unit, each having a pin element and a pin receiving portion to swingably hold the wall rod depending on the type of door suspension. The wall rod can be hooked into the wall support element in the installation position. After pivoting out of the installation position, the wall rod is stopped to prevent removal from the wall support element. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem of the present invention is to provide a hygienic wall support device that offers advantages over the prior art mentioned above, particularly in terms of functionality, structure, operational comfort and / or maintenance costs, and especially in terms of the installation and removal of sanitary article holding devices at or from the wall rod.

[0007] The present invention solves this problem by providing a hygienic wall support device having the features described below.

[0008] In the case of the hygienic wall support device according to the invention, the wall rod has a longitudinally extending guide groove in which a sanitary article holding device is guided. The wall rod can pivot between an operating position and a maintenance position. The operating position of the wall rod can also be referred to as the original state or zero position. The sanitary article holding device can be guided out from the guide groove for removal from the wall rod, i.e., disassembly. Conversely, the sanitary article holding device can be installed at the wall rod by being introduced into the guide groove. Furthermore, a stop mechanism is provided that, in the released state, releases the guidance of the sanitary article holding device when the wall rod is in the maintenance position, and in the locked state, stops the sanitary article holding device from being guided out from the guide groove when the wall rod is in the operating position.

[0009] The wall-support device according to the invention provides a simple solution for quickly and easily removing the sanitary item holder from the wall rod during maintenance or cleaning. Installation and removal of the sanitary item holder can be achieved with relatively few operations by simply pivoting the wall rod from the operating position to the maintenance position, without having to remove the wall rod from the rod support unit. The pivoting of the wall rod also facilitates easy access to the sanitary item holder for installation / removal purposes when needed.

[0010] In the ready-to-operate installed state of the wall support device, the rod bracket is preferably fixed to the wall, such as the wall of a bathroom or shower room. In a functionally and structurally advantageous implementation, the maintenance position of the wall rod is pivoted relative to the zero position of the wall rod, for example, by 60° or more, particularly by essentially 90°. Here, the wall support device can preferably be constructed such that the pivoting of the wall rod is limited to a certain angular range, for example, between 0° and 90°, or between 0° and 180°, or between 0° and 270°, wherein, in extreme cases, the wall rod can also be provided with circumferential swing mobility without angular limitations.

[0011] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the rod support unit has two wall-mountable rod supports spaced apart from each other. The wall rod is pivotally supported at the first of the two rod supports at its first end. The sanitary item holder is preferably guided out at the end region of the wall rod facing the first rod support. This presents a structurally and functionally advantageous implementation for leading the sanitary item holder out from the guide channel. A functionally and structurally advantageous implementation is that the wall rod is pivotally supported between the two rod supports at its two ends, so that the wall rod has a length corresponding to approximately the distance between the two rod supports. In an alternative implementation, the rod support unit may have only one or more wall-mountable rod supports.

[0012] In one embodiment of the invention, the guide channel has an exit opening for withdrawing the sanitary article holder at least in the end region of the wall rod facing the first rod support. This presents a structurally and functionally advantageous implementation for withdrawing the sanitary article holder from the guide channel. In a functionally and structurally advantageous implementation, the guide channel extends to the end side of the wall rod facing the first rod support, so that the sanitary article holder can be removed from the wall rod at this end side. Particularly advantageously, the guide channel can extend continuously to both ends of the wall rod. This, on the one hand, enables longitudinal mobility of the sanitary article holder over substantially the entire length of the wall rod, and on the other hand, allows the sanitary article holder to be removed from both ends of the wall rod when needed. Alternatively, the exit opening can be constructed on the radially circumferential side in the end region of the wall rod. In an alternative implementation, the exit opening for withdrawing the sanitary article holder from the guide channel can be constructed in the middle region of the wall rod between the two rod supports.

[0013] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the stop mechanism includes an end stop that is releasably inserted into a guide groove in the locked state of the stop mechanism, restricting longitudinal movement of the sanitary product holder within the guide groove. Furthermore, the end stop is accessible for removing the guide groove when the wall rod is in the maintenance position. The end stop not only restricts longitudinal movement of the sanitary product holder within the guide groove but also preferably prevents the sanitary product holder from being guided out of the guide groove. This means that even when the wall rod is pivotally rotated from the operating position to the maintenance position, the stop mechanism remains locked by the inserted end stop, and the sanitary product holder cannot be removed from the wall rod. The sanitary product holder can only be withdrawn from the guide groove by releasing and removing the end stop from it. Here, the end stop can be similar to the sanitary product holder being withdrawable from the guide groove. Depending on the implementation, this can be configured such that the end stop can only be extended from the guide groove when the wall rod is in the maintenance position, or when the wall rod is in the operating position. The advantage of this embodiment is that the sanitary item holder remains stopped from being removed from the wall rod even when the wall support is pivoted relative to the wall rod at its zero position, especially in the maintenance position, thus allowing for normal operation in that position as well.

[0014] In an alternative improvement of the invention, the stop mechanism includes a blocking region of the rod support unit that releases a guide channel for withdrawing the sanitary item holder when the wall rod is in the maintenance position, and blocks the guide channel to prevent withdrawal of the sanitary item holder when the wall rod is in the operating position. Here, the rod support unit can function as an end stop, wherein the stop mechanism is in a swing position of the wall rod in the locked state, different from the maintenance position, and stops the sanitary item holder from being withdrawn from the guide channel. The blocking region of the rod support unit is preferably formed by the side of the rod support unit facing the wall rod. The stop mechanism is only in its released state when the wall rod reaches the maintenance position, and the guide channel is released for withdrawing the sanitary item holder. An advantage of this embodiment is that the sanitary item holder can be removed from the wall rod without tools simply by pivoting the wall rod to the maintenance position.

[0015] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the wall post has a substantially polygonal cross-section. This presents an advantageous realization of the wall post's structure and function, particularly its pivotability between operating and maintenance positions. For example, a rectangular cross-section of the wall post can be particularly advantageous. This allows for quick and simple identification of the wall post's swing position. In an alternative embodiment, the wall post may, for example, have a circular or elliptical cross-section.

[0016] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the guide channel faces the wall in the operating position of the wall rod. Here, when the wall support device is installed on the wall, the guide channel is preferably facing the wall in the operating position. An advantage of this embodiment is that the guide channel is generally invisible to the user in the operating position.

[0017] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the wall post is held at the rod support unit via a locking mechanism that provides multiple locking positions for the swinging movement of the wall post, wherein an operating position and a maintenance position respectively form one of the locking positions. This allows the wall post to be held in a desired preset position, particularly an operating or maintenance position, depending on the locking position, and thereby allows for particularly reliable functional setting of the operating and maintenance positions. The locking mechanism thus stops the swinging position of the wall post relative to the rod support unit, by allowing the wall post to leave this swinging position only with the application of the required disengagement force. This prevents the wall post from unintentionally pivoting from the associated swinging position, while enabling the user to pivot the wall post relative to the rod support unit when needed, overcoming the disengagement force, for example, to pivot the wall post from the operating position to the maintenance position or vice versa.

[0018] In a functionally and structurally advantageous implementation, the locking mechanism has more than two locking positions. Preferably, the locking mechanism has at least one additional locking position between the operating position and the maintenance position of the wall rod. This can preferably be an additional operating and / or maintenance position of the wall rod. In an alternative implementation, locking is not required for the swing position of the wall rod relative to the rod support unit, and instead, for example, a position stop clamp can be provided by means of which the wall rod is releasably held in its respective swing position relative to the rod support unit. The latter allows the swing position of the wall rod to be infinitely adjusted when needed.

[0019] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the sanitary article holding device has a slider movably arranged in a guide groove and a retainer connected thereto for receiving sanitary articles. This presents an advantageous structural and functional implementation of the sanitary article holding device. Here, the retainer is preferably releasably connected to the slider. The latter allows the retainer to be replaced according to the sanitary articles being placed without removing the slider from the wall rod. In an alternative embodiment, the slider and the retainer are constructed as a single piece.

[0020] In the design of this invention, the guide channel has a channel cross-section comprising at least two laterally spaced guide grooves extending on one of two opposing channel sides and at least one guide groove on the other channel side. The slider has guides on two slider sides facing away from each other, engaging in the guide grooves, which have profiles corresponding to the profiles of the guide grooves, wherein the guides slide or roll along the guide grooves. This presents a structurally and functionally advantageous implementation of the guiding features between the slider and the guide channel. In a functionally and structurally advantageous implementation, the guide grooves and guides have circular, especially semi-circular, profiles. In an alternative implementation, the guide channel has a substantially flat surface or channel side, or only one guide groove.

[0021] In an improved embodiment of the invention, the sanitary article retainer has an adjustable braking device comprising a brake shoe element that can press against a guide groove with adjustable pressure. This allows the sanitary article retainer to be reliably and easily held at the wall post where it is mounted. Another advantage of this embodiment is that, by adjusting the pressure of the brake shoe element, the braking effect of the braking device can be set or adjusted such that, on the one hand, adjustment is not difficult for the user of the sanitary article retainer, and on the other hand, unintentional movement of the sanitary article retainer in the guide groove can be avoided. In an alternative embodiment, the braking device acts on the outside of the wall post. Through the combined action of the form-fitting and / or force-fitting of the corresponding braking contact surfaces, on the one hand at the brake shoe element and on the other hand at the guide groove, the braking effect of the braking device in the guide groove can be provided or in any way assisted as needed and in the application.

[0031] As illustrated in the figures according to an exemplary embodiment, the wall support device according to the invention has a rod support unit 1, a wall rod 2, and a sanitary item holding device 3, which can be mounted on a wall. The rod support unit 1 is configured for installation on a wall 25, for example, in a bathroom or shower room. In the ready-to-operate installed state of the wall support device, the rod support unit 1 is fixedly, i.e., immovably, mounted on the wall 25.

[0032] Wall rod 2 can be positioned around a longitudinal axis L parallel to the rod. A The swing axis S A The wall rod 2 is held oscillatingly at the rod support unit 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the wall rod 2 is vertically positioned at the wall 25, particularly as in... Figure 1A and 1B As can be seen from the diagram. In an alternative implementation, the wall rod 2 can be positioned horizontally or in another orientation at the wall 25. The wall rod 2 has a longitudinally extending guide groove 4 in which the sanitary item holding device 3 is guided. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide groove 4 extends continuously over the entire length L of the wall rod 2, as shown in the diagram. Figure 1B As can be seen from the diagram. Wall rod 2 can be in the operating position (in the example shown) Figure 1A (location in) and maintenance location (in the example shown) Figure 1B The wall rod 2 pivots between its current position and its original, non-pivoted position. Here, the operating position of the wall rod 2 in its original, non-pivoted state can also be referred to as the zero position.

[0033] The sanitary product retaining device 3 is longitudinally movable and detachably retained at the wall rod 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the sanitary product retaining device 3 at least partially surrounds the wall rod 2, particularly as shown in the example. Figure 1B As can be seen from the image. The sanitary item holder 3 can be extended from the guide channel to be removed from the wall rod.

[0034] The wall support device according to the invention further includes a stop mechanism 5, which, in the released state, releases the guide of the sanitary item holding device 3 when the wall rod 2 is in the maintenance position, and in the locked state, stops the sanitary item holding device 3 from being guided out of the guide groove 4 when the wall rod 2 is in the operating position. In the illustrated embodiment, the maintenance position of the wall rod 2 is pivoted 90° to the zero position of the wall rod 2, as in Figure 1A and 1B As can be seen from the diagram. Here, the wall support device can be configured such that the pivoting of the wall rod 2 is limited to a numerical angular range (hereinafter referred to as the angle range) between 0° and 90°. Alternatively, the angle range can be selected arbitrarily small or large depending on the needs or application of the wall support device, for example, less than 80° or up to 180° or 270°, wherein in extreme cases, the wall rod can also be provided with circumferential swing mobility without angle limitation.

[0035] In a favorable implementation, the pole support unit 1 has two wall-mountable pole supports 6 and 7 spaced apart by a distance A, as shown in... Figure 1A and 1B As can be seen in the image. Here, the wall rod 2 is pivotally supported at the first of the two rod supports 6 at its first end side 8. For this purpose, the rod support 6 has a bearing pin 33, which is rotatably accommodated in a groove 34 at the end side 8 of the wall rod 2, as shown in the image. Figure 5 As can be seen in the diagram. In the illustrated embodiment, the wall rod 2 is pivotally supported between the two rod supports 6 and 7 by its first end side 8 and second end side 26, as shown in... Figure 1B As can be seen from the diagram. Therefore, the length L of the wall rod 2 currently corresponds approximately to the distance A between the rod supports 6 and 7.

[0036] In a structurally advantageous implementation, such as in the example shown, the guide channel 4 has an outlet opening 10 at least at the end region 9 of the wall rod 2 facing the first rod support 6 for leading out the sanitary article holding device 3. Currently, the guide channel 4 extends to the first end side 8 of the wall rod 2 facing the first rod support 6, thus the wall rod 2 has an outlet opening 10 at this end side 8 from which the sanitary article holding device 3 can be led out. In the embodiment shown, as already mentioned, the guide channel 4 extends from the first end side 8 of the wall rod 2 to the second end side 26 of the wall rod 2. This achieves longitudinal mobility of the sanitary article holding device 3 along the entire length L of the wall rod 2, and allows the sanitary article holding device 3 to be led out at both end sides 8, 26 of the wall rod 2. Alternatively, the outlet opening 10 can be constructed as a corresponding widening or expansion of the slot opening in the end region 9 of the wall rod 2 at the side 27 where the guide channel 4 of the wall rod 2 enters.

[0037] In an alternative implementation, the outlet opening 10 for leading out the sanitary article holding device 3 can be constructed in the intermediate region between the two rod supports 6, 7 of the wall rod 2.

[0038] In an advantageous embodiment, such as in the example shown, the stop mechanism 5 has an end stop 11 that is releasably inserted into the guide groove 4 in the locked state of the stop mechanism 5. Currently, the end stop 11 is inserted into the guide groove 4 in the end region 9 of the wall rod 2, as in Figure 1B As can be seen in the diagram, the end stop 11 can be clamped in the guide groove 4, for example, by means of a locating thread 28, as is the case in the example shown. Here, the end stop 11 restricts the longitudinal movement of the sanitary article holding device 3 in the guide groove 4 in at least one direction.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the stop mechanism 5 includes another end stop 29, preferably with the same structure. In the illustrated embodiment, the other end stop 29 is inserted into the guide groove 4 in the end region 30 of the wall rod 2 away from the end region 9, as shown in... Figure 1B As can be seen in the image. Therefore, the longitudinal movement of the sanitary item holding device 3 in the guide groove 4 is restricted in both directions. The end stops 11, 29 not only restrict the longitudinal movement of the sanitary item holding device 3, but also currently prevent the sanitary item holding device 3 from being guided out of the guide groove 4. Thus, even when the wall rod 2 is pivotally moved from the operating position to the maintenance position, the stop mechanism 5 remains in a locked state by the inserted end stops 11, 29. The sanitary item holding device 3 cannot be removed from the wall rod 2 in this state, as in... Figure 1B As can be seen in the diagram. The sanitary article retainer 3 can only be pulled out of the guide channel 4 by releasing and removing at least one of the two end stops 11, 29 from the guide channel 4. Then the stop mechanism 5 is in the released state. In the illustrated example, the end stops 11, 29 can be pulled out from the corresponding end sides 8, 26 of the wall rod 2. Here, when the wall rod 2 is in the maintenance position, the end stops 11, 29 are accessible to remove the guide channel 4.

[0040] In another advantageous implementation, the stop mechanism 5 includes a blocking region 12 of the rod support unit 1, which releases the guide channel 4 to lead out the sanitary item holder 3 when the wall rod 2 is in the maintenance position, and blocks the guide channel 4 to prevent the sanitary item holder 3 from being led out when the wall rod 2 is in the operating position. Unlike the illustrated example, in this embodiment, the wall support device does not have end stops 11, 29, but the rod support unit 1 functions as a type of end stop. The stop mechanism 5 is in a blocked state in the swing position of the wall rod 2, different from the maintenance position, and fixes the sanitary item holder 3 to prevent it from being led out of the guide channel 4. Here, the sanitary item holder 3 stops against the blocking region 12 of the rod support unit 1, wherein the blocking region 12 is preferably formed by the side 31 of the rod support unit 1 facing the wall rod 2, as particularly in Figure 2A As can be seen from the diagram, when the wall rod 2 reaches the maintenance position, the stop mechanism 5 is released, and the guide groove 4 is released to lead out the sanitary item holder 3. Therefore, it is possible to remove the sanitary item holder 3 from the wall rod 2 without tools simply by pivoting the wall rod 2 to the maintenance position.

[0041] In a favorable embodiment, the wall rod 2 has a generally polygonal cross-section, as particularly in Figure 6 As can be seen from the diagram, the current wall rod 2 has a rectangular cross-section. In alternative embodiments, the wall rod 2 may have, for example, a triangular, more than four-sided, circular, or elliptical cross-section.

[0042] In a structurally advantageous embodiment, the guide groove 4 faces the wall in the operating position of the wall rod 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide groove 4 faces the wall 25 in the operating position of the wall rod 2, as in... Figure 1A As can be seen from the text.

[0043] In an advantageous implementation, the wall rod 2 is held at the rod support unit 1 via a locking mechanism 13. The locking mechanism 13 provides multiple locking positions for the swinging movement of the wall rod 2, wherein the running position and the maintenance position respectively form one of the locking positions. This allows the wall rod 2 to remain in a stable swinging position within a set location based on the locking position. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking mechanism 13 has more than two locking positions, as in... Figure 6 As can be seen from the text.

[0044] Currently, additional locking positions are provided between the first locking position corresponding to the operating position of the wall rod 2 and the second locking position when the wall rod 2 is pivoted 90° to the maintenance position, especially each additional locking position when the wall rod 2 is pivoted 30° or 60°. These additional locking positions can present operating positions other than those mentioned, allowing the user to quickly and easily change or adjust the orientation or spatial position of the sanitary item holder 3, and thereby change or adjust the sanitary item held therein, such as a handheld spray device, an overhead spray device, a side spray device, or a soap dispenser. In the illustrated example, for this purpose, a profile 35, for example with a groove, is provided on the circumferential surface 37 of the bearing pin 33, interacting with the corresponding profile of the locking unit 36 ​​received in the groove 34 of the wall rod 2, as in... Figure 6 As can be seen in the image. The locking unit 36 ​​preferably has a flexible material, so that it can elastically yield radially outward when twisted relative to the bearing pin 33. For this purpose, the locking unit 36 ​​can be composed, for example, of a plurality of components arranged sequentially around the bearing pin 33 in the circumferential direction, the components being individually assembled together or separately held in the groove 34 of the wall rod 2.

[0045] In an advantageous embodiment, such as in the example shown, the sanitary article holding device 3 has a slider 14 movably arranged in a guide groove 4 and a holder 15 connected thereto for receiving sanitary articles, as in Figure 3 As can be seen in the figure. In the illustrated embodiment, the retainer 15 is releasably connected to the slider 14. This allows the retainer 15 to be easily replaced by removing the slider depending on the sanitary item being installed or during maintenance. The retainer 15 is currently designed to secure a handheld water spray device (not shown in the figure) to the wall post 2, and for this purpose has a generally known structure. In an alternative embodiment, the slider 14 and retainer 15 are constructed as a single piece.

[0046] In an advantageous implementation, the guide groove 4 has a groove cross-section that includes at least two laterally spaced guide grooves 18, 19 on one of two opposing groove sides 16, and at least one guide groove 20 on the other groove side 17, as shown in Figure 4 and 6 As can be seen in the illustration. In the case of the illustrated embodiment, according to... Figure 3 and 7The slider 14 has guides 18', 19', 20' on two opposing slider sides 21, 22 that engage with guide grooves 18, 19, 20, having profiles corresponding to the profiles of the guide grooves 18, 19, 20, wherein the guides 18', 19', 20' slide or roll along the guide grooves 18, 19, 20. Currently, the guide grooves 18, 19, 20 and the guides 18', 19', 20' have semi-circular profiles. The guides 18', 19', 20' are preferably fixedly or rotatably arranged in a hemispherical form on the slider sides 21, 22, so that the guides 18', 19', 20' can slide or roll along the associated guide grooves 18, 19, 20, as in Figure 7 As can be seen from the diagram. Therefore, in the illustrated example, the slider has two spaced-apart guides 18', 19', 20' for each guide groove 18, 19, 20. In an alternative embodiment, the guide groove 4 has a substantially flat surface or groove side, or only one guide groove, or at least two guide grooves on two opposite groove sides.

[0047] In a structurally and functionally advantageous implementation, the sanitary article holding device 3 has an adjustable braking device 23, which includes a brake shoe element 24 that can press against the guide groove 4 with an adjustable pressure. For this purpose, in the illustrated embodiment, the braking device 23 has an adjusting element 32, such as a threaded fastener, via which the pressure can be adjusted, as in… Figure 1B As can be seen in the diagram. Therefore, the user can adjust the braking effect of the braking device 23 by adjusting the corresponding operation of the adjusting element 32 as needed. Through the combined action of the shape fit and / or force fit of the corresponding braking contact surfaces on the one hand at the brake shoe element 24 and on the other hand at the guide groove 4, the braking effect of the braking device 23 in the guide groove 4 can be provided or in any way assisted as needed and in the application. In an alternative embodiment, the braking device 23 acts on the radial circumferential side 27 of the wall rod 2.

[0048] As illustrated in the embodiments and others mentioned above, the present invention provides a hygienic wall support device that offers advantages over conventional wall support devices, particularly in terms of functionality, structure, operational comfort, and / or maintenance costs. The wall support device according to the invention provides a simple solution for quickly and easily removing the sanitary item holder 3 from the wall rod 2 in both maintenance and cleaning situations. The installation and removal of the sanitary item holder 3 can be achieved here with relatively few operations by simply pivoting the wall rod 2 from the operating position to the maintenance position, without having to remove the wall rod 2 from the rod support unit 1 or the rod support unit from the wall.

[0049] It goes without saying that the wall support device is suitable not only for sanitary applications but also for any other non-sanitary use, and the item holding device for holding articles or objects therein should be longitudinally movable and removably held at the wall rod that can be mounted on the wall.
