Movable shower head holder

Abstract

Shower holder (2) for attachment to a ferritic shower wall (1) or ferritic attachments, characterized in that it allows free movement of the shower holder (2) on the surface of the shower wall (1) and consists of few components, wherein it has surfaces on the side facing the shower wall (1) at different angles to the shower axis, which are provided with recesses for built-in magnets (3), and wherein by tilting the shower holder (2) the adhesion of certain magnets (3) is released, while other magnets (3) snap onto the shower wall (1), so that the tilt angle of a shower head (5) attached thereto can be adjusted in increments.

Description

[0001] The invention was developed in the field of sanitary fittings and their design. The mobility of the present invention is based on the free positioning provided by magnetic or ferritic materials in the shower holder and shower enclosure or shower wall.

[0002] State-of-the-art shower brackets are usually mounted on movable supports, allowing the height and angle of the shower head to be adjusted. From the user's perspective, variable height is important for ensuring a pleasant showering experience. Rods or rails used to adjust the height of the shower bracket usually consist of multiple components and materials, creating additional interfaces between functional elements and the shower enclosure. These interfaces can create additional work and costs during installation and subsequently lead to areas that collect more dirt. The presence of a shower rod generally makes cleaning a shower enclosure more difficult. In some designs, the shower bracket is located on permanently installed components, such as the water outlet or a faucet. This is particularly useful when a rain-effect shower head is installed.In any case, however, the shower head height adjustment is missing, which is important if, for example, the head is to remain dry. A new form of shower head holder that facilitates cleaning while maintaining full flexibility is therefore considered sensible. Existing solutions, as mentioned, often consist of rods or rails with articulated components. Shower head holders that use magnetism can also be found in patent applications KR102430030B1, US2022120067A1, and CN118338972A. However, the first two lack angle adjustment, while the latter envisions angle and height adjustment. However, the structure of the mechanism generally differs greatly from the present invention, where the focus is on maximum component reduction. Object of the invention

[0003] This invention relates to a shower head height and tilt adjustment mechanism that differs from conventional mechanisms. The invention allows for easier cleaning and fewer components while maintaining similar flexibility. Description of the invention

[0004] The shower holder 2 has built-in magnets 3, which are provided with special covers 4 for better corrosion protection. A prerequisite for the proper functioning of the invented shower holder 2 is a ferritic shower wall 1, or its attachments. For example, the entire shower wall 1 could be made of enameled steel, as is common with shower trays. On this wall 1, the shower holder 2 can now be freely moved in all directions on the surface. In order to be able to not only freely adjust the height of the shower 5, but also change its angle of inclination, the present shower holder 2 has surfaces at different angles to the shower axis on the side facing the shower wall 1. Recesses for magnets 3 are provided on each side to ensure sufficient adhesion at any angle.By tilting the shower holder 2, some magnets 3 are released and the next ones “snap” onto the shower wall 1.

Claims

[1] Shower bracket (2) for attachment to a ferritic shower wall (1) or ferritic attachments, characterized by in that it allows free movement of the shower holder (2) on the surface of the shower wall (1) and consists of a small number of components, wherein on the side facing the shower wall (1) it has surfaces at different angles to the shower axis, which are provided with recesses for built-in magnets (3), and wherein by tilting the shower holder (2) the adhesion of certain magnets (3) is released, while other magnets (3) snap onto the shower wall (1) so that the angle of inclination of a shower head (5) attached to it can be adjusted in stages. [2] Holder according to claim 1, wherein the recesses for the magnets 3 are covered with sealed covers (4).
