The invention relates to an adjustable and lockable clamp fitting for shower enclosures in sanitary area according to the preamble of the independent claims.

In particular, the invention relates to such a clamping fitting both for a frame-5 se as well as for a frame-mounted attachment of such glass in the sanitary area.

For simplicity, in the following description, only the frameless attachment of a glass sheet is described with the clamping fitting according to the invention. However, the invention is not limited to this, because the clamping fitting can also be part of a frame holder, which in turn receives the glass pane.

Thus, if in the following description only the clamp fitting is described, this is not to be understood as limiting the scope of the invention. It is known to fasten such clamp fittings for the frameless mounting of glass panes in such a manner on a wall surface, that the wall-side plate of the clamping impact is provided with approximately slot-shaped recesses through which corresponding fastening screws pass. These fastening screws are anchored in the wall surface with known dowel joints. 20

Disadvantage of this conventional slot fastening technology, however, is that when mounting a bad hole in the wall, there are only small compensation options in the field of clamping impact. It can therefore be moved only in the area of the slot-shaped opening to possibly still hit the false hole in the wall with the appropriate 25 fastening screw.

Here it was often necessary that you had to close this with a hardenable mass when mounting a faulty hole, and then attach a further bore at a small millimeter distance. It is obvious that the second correction hole is then no longer as resilient as the first-mentioned hole, because the holes in the worst case merge into each other, so that overall the attachment is weakened in the wall surface.

This naturally increases the assembly effort. Another disadvantage of the known assembly technique is that they usually can not be performed by a single person 35, because usually a first assembler has to hold the glass to be fixed, while a second assembler tries the wall-side bracket with the mounting screws and the produce there arranged clamping fitting.

It has been helped by the fact that you create a certain adjustment in the holder of the glass plate on Klemmbe-40 shock.

This adjustment was designed to be adjustable and lockable in mutually perpendicular directions. Disadvantage of this known mounting on the glass plate side, however, was that the adjustment turned into each other, so that when loosening the locking screw in the region of this attachment the glass plate inadvertently slipped inwards and even - by gravity - with high force on an edge on the shower tray could hit and was damaged by this.

Moreover, it was known, instead of the previously described, arranged in the wall-side plate of the clamping clamp so long slot to provide a balance in the region of the clamping bracket of the glass plate. Here then different spacers or plates were inserted between the clamping surfaces of the clamping impact on the glass side, so as to achieve a certain balance in Tiefeneinstellrichtung. 55 In general, it can therefore be stated that only in the area of clamping fittings for 3 AT 500 094 B1

Duschabtrennungen a Tiefeneinstellmöglichkeit on the arrangement of slots is known, the longitudinal axis is aligned in Tiefeneinstellrichtung. A height adjustment, however, was previously unknown. The invention is therefore the object of developing an adjustable clamp fitting for shower enclosures of the type mentioned so that in addition to a depth adjustment and height adjustment is possible. In general, therefore, the invention is based on the object, at least the wall-side attachment of the clamping impact in such a way that the clamping fitting is adjustable and lockable in two mutually independent, perpendicular zuein-io standing, adjustment directions.

The object is achieved by the technical teaching of the independent claims.

An essential feature here is that the wall-side fitting elements include at least one wall holder, which is fixed to the wall surface by means of at least its fastening element and at least one connectable with the wall holder adjustment plate, which establishes the connection to the fitting element on the part of the shower enclosures, wherein the adjusting plate relative to the wall holder depth and height adjustable, and lockable is designed. 20

With the given technical teaching, there is the significant advantage that now the wall-side attachment of the clamping impact on a wall surface in two independently adjustable directions is adjustable and lockable. This has the advantage of changing one setting direction so that the other setting direction 25 is maintained unchanged. Thus, for example, the significant advantage associated with, for example, adjusted in the Tiefeneinstellrichtung, that is, parallel to the floor surface, that then the Höheneinstellrichtung remains unaffected. Thus, it is now possible for the first time that such a clamp fitting can be mounted by a single person, because the person can either set only one or the other adjustment direction, and be sure that the other direction of adjustment is unaffected.

This is particularly associated with the advantage that just when changing the Tiefeneinstellrichtung not the risk that the glass plate is unintentionally adjusted in height, creating the risk that this gravity falls down and 35 is damaged on a floor near the edge ,

In the slot adjustment according to the prior art, a depth adjustment was also possible, but lacked the height adjustment. The height adjustment was just possible in the prior art just by the interposition of corresponding spacers or plates in the 40 area of the glass holder or it had to be completely re-drilled, which was associated with considerable workload. Likewise, in a known manner also for height adjustment, the bore in the glass in comparison to the bolt passing through the screw be formed so that there was also a corresponding Höheneinstellspiel. 45

However, this was - as already mentioned - associated with the disadvantage that when adjusting in one direction and unintentionally made the adjustment in the other direction.

The core of the invention is thus that the wall-side mounting of the clamping impact is designed to be adjustable and lockable in two directions which are possibly perpendicular to one another.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that this wall-side bracket essentially consists of a wall mount on the wall mountable wall holder, and whose Tiefeneinstellrichtung has at least one parallel to the wall surface extending 55 guide, from where in this guide groove on the wall-side adjustment plate 4 AT 500 094 B1 and that the wall holder engages with play in an associated adjustment opening in the adjustment plate of the clamping impact.

With the given technical teaching so the advantage is achieved that at least in the 5 wall-side adjusting plate of the clamping a pointing in height adjustment screw is arranged, which engages in the, pointing in Tiefeneinstellrichtung, guide groove of the wall holder and there formed detectable and displaceable.

The adjusting screw thus forms the sliding guide for the wall holder in said Eino-io stellöffnung.

Here, it is preferred if instead of the one adjusting screw two opposing screws are present because these screws can be adjusted against each other and against each other can be set so that with this possibility of 15 wall bracket after the appropriate adjustment and shift in Tiefeneinstellrichtung in the insertion the adjusting plate can be fixed.

Instead of fixing the wall holder with opposing screws and other fastening measures can be used. 20

Instead of adjusting screws used in threaded holes, which are directed against each other, of course, against each other directed Exzentereinstellvorrichtungen can be used, which can be clamped against each other via a corresponding eccentric. 25

Thus, with the present invention, each clamping device is claimed as being inventive, which is suitable for displacing and fixing the wall holder in an adjusting opening in the adjusting plate depth setting direction. To allow protection against falling of the adjusting plate of the wall holder, it is preferred that the opposing guide grooves are undercut in the wall holder that the screws engage in these grooves and thus when loosening the screws free displacement in Tiefeneinstellrichtung is possible without there is a risk that the adjusting plate of the clamping impact falls off the wall holder. 35

In a further embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the wall holder is not firmly fixed in only one position on the wall surface, but in turn is adjustable and displaceable or at least rotatable. 40 It can be provided for displacing the wall holder corresponding slots in the wall bracket, which can move this wall bracket in one or more mutually perpendicular directions.

Likewise, it may be provided that only in the presence of a single fastening bore 45 of the wall holder is also mounted in a certain manner rotatable and fixable on the wall surface. In this way, even a wall-side tilt adjustment of the wall bracket is given.

In another embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the concave in the wall bracket so extending guide grooves omitted and instead consist of convex, projecting up and down approaches. The screws then engage behind these approaches.

Likewise, it may also be provided, instead of the concave, extending into the body of the wall holder 55 guide grooves form alternative guide grooves which are formed on Führungsansät- 5 AT 500 094 B1, which are placed on the wall holder. The adjusting screw then surrounds this guide groove with a corresponding guide recess.

In summary, it is thus stated that, according to the idea of the present invention, a wall-side fastening of its clamping impact of a shower enclosure, which is adjustable in two mutually perpendicular directions and can be fixed, is claimed in a general form.

It is also claimed in a general form and regardless of the former, wall-side mounting and a glass plate-side mounting, which is designed to be adjustable and lockable at least in a cross direction.

This transverse adjustment direction is thus a third axis, which is perpendicular to the aforementioned two axes. 15 Thus, if one of the previously mentioned Tiefeneinstellrichtung and Höheneinstellrichtung with X and Y axis, the inventive glass plate side arranged transverse adjustment direction would be the adjustment and detection in the Z-axis.

This adjustment is claimed separately from the previously mentioned adjustment on the 20 wall side; but it is also claimed in combination with the wall-side fastening also.

An essential feature of the adjustability of the glass pane on the glass side attachment of the clamping impact is that on the glass plate side side of the 25 Klemmbeschlages, a glass plate by cross-guiding element is present on the front plate, which also passes through a guide ring which is inserted flush in the glass plate-side recess.

The guide ring has guide surfaces extending parallel to the transverse adjustment direction, which interact with the guide lugs arranged on the clamp-fitting-side guide element.

Thus, this results in a clamping attachment of the glass sheet between two plates of the clamping impact on the glass side, because the entire fastening and adjusting device 35 is penetrated by a clamping screw which engages the, on the back of the glass plate applying, back plate.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to only one of an execution path representative drawings. In this case, 40 further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the drawings and their description.

The clamping fitting 3 according to the invention serves for fastening a glass pane 1 to a wall surface 2. 55 6 AT 500 094 B1

For this purpose, the clamping fitting 3 consists of a wall side arranged, and in two mutually perpendicular directions 14, 15 adjustable and lockable adjustment plate 5, which is fixedly connected in the embodiment shown with an angle thereto arranged front plate 7. 5

However, the invention is not limited thereto. It can be provided that the wall-side part of the clamping abutment 3 is connected via a hinge or hinge connection with the glass-side attachment, wherein the front plate 7 of the glass-side attachment is still connected to a back plate 8. 10

Likewise, it is not necessary for the solution that the two parts (5 and 7, 8) are at right angles to each other; they can be formed lockable to each other in any angular position or adjustable. 15 The wall-side attachment of the adjusting plate 5 takes place in the region of its wall holder 6, which is fastened in the embodiment shown by means of fastening screws 13 on the wall surface 2.

It has already been pointed out in the general part that the invention is not limited to fastening by means of two fastening screws 13. There may be only a single fixing screw 13, which allows a certain inclination or rotation of the wall holder 6 on the wall surface 2, or adjusting screws allowing inclination adjustment may also be present. The arranged on the glass pane 1 parts of the clamping fin 3 are generally referred to as glass clamping plate 4 and consist - as stated - of a front plate 7 and a rear plate of the glass pane 1 applied back plate 8th

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the wall bracket 6 parallel in Tiefeneinstellrichtun-30 gene 14 extending guide grooves 17, which are formed above and below each in the wall bracket 6.

In these guide grooves engage - in the assembled state - corresponding opposing screws 9, which are introduced into mutually associated and generally curse-35 tend arranged threaded holes 11 in the region of the adjusting plate 5.

In this case, the wall holder 6 engages in a correspondingly larger adjustment opening 12 in the adjustment plate 5, so that it is held therein before the clamping by means of the adjusting screws 9 with a relatively large game. This game results in both Tiefeneinstellrichtungen 14 40 and in Höheneinstellrichtungen 15th

Now, if in the assembled state according to Figures 2 and 3, the screws 9 engage in the associated guide 17 of the wall bracket 6, resulting - with partially dissolved screws 9 - the possibility, now the entire adjustment plate 5 free in Tiefeneinstellrichtun-45 gene 14 on the To move wall holder 6.

It is important that the height adjustment in the direction of arrows 15 is not affected, because gravity, the upper screw 9 always remains in this selected position and therefore an undesirable lowering of the glass pane 1 in the direction of arrow 15 down below. 50

For example, if the depth adjustment found in the direction of arrow 14, the height adjustment can be done in arrow directions 15. For this purpose, the upper adjusting screw 9 is more or less rotated in its threaded bore 11, so that a corresponding displacement of the wall holder 6 in the region of the insertion opening 12 in the direction of arrows 15 takes place. 55 7 AT 500 094 B1

After adjustment in height, the lower screw 9 is fixed and thus a proper, clamping fixing is given both in the direction of arrows 14 and in arrow directions 15. 5 It can be provided that the set screws designed as set screws 9 are covered from above by a cover 10, which is placed sealingly on the mouth of the threaded bore 11.

The glass-side fastening, which according to the invention enables an adjustment in transverse adjustment directions 21 io, is formed as follows according to FIGS. 4-6:

On the side facing the glass plate 1 side of the front plate 7 of the clamping shank 3 in this case two opposing and symmetrically arranged guide projections 26 are integrally formed on a guide element 25. 15

This guide element 25 may in this case be material integral with the material of the front plate 7, or it may also be connected as a separate part in any desired manner with the front plate 7. The two guide lugs 26 form a recess 29 between them.

On the guide lugs 26, a guide ring 20 is now attached, which in turn engages flush with its outer periphery in the recess 19 in the glass plate 1 and is held there with little play. 25

It is important that in the region of the guide ring 20 now opposite guide surfaces 23 are formed, which allow adjustment and adjustment of the guide lugs 26 of the guide element 25 in the region of the guide recess 22 in the guide ring 20. 30

The guide lugs 26 should therefore be adjustable and lockable only in the direction of arrows 21 (transverse adjustment), but not in vertical directions for this purpose.

For this reason, the guide recess 22 is formed approximately rectangular, so that 35 so the guide surfaces 23 in the region of the guide ring 20 both above and below the guide lugs 26 in the guide member 25 overlap and lead.

The entire assembly is held together by a clamping screw 18, which engages with its bolt-side end of the guide member 25 and the guide ring 20 and a 40 associated threaded receptacle 27 engages in the region of its guide projection 28 of the back plate 8 and is screwed there.

It is important here that the guide projection 28 now engages flush and only with little play in the recess 29 of the guide element 25, so that thus the back plate 8 twist-secured on the front plate 7 is aligned.

The width of the guide projection 28 in the direction of arrows 21 corresponds approximately to the width of the guide lugs 26. This ensures that the two plates 7, 8 are firmly connected to each other, while the guide ring 20 together with the glass pane 1 free on this cross-50 adjustment guide in the direction of arrow 21 is freely movable and lockable. With the setting of the clamping screw 28 so that the connection is fixed.

It is important that the glass sheet 1 can not fall as long as the clamping screw 18 engages in the threaded receptacle 27 even in the relaxed state. The glass pane 1 55 can therefore be held and guided by a single person and at the same time can 8 AT 500 094 B1

Clamping screw 18 are actuated.

In this way it is ensured that both the wall side, and the glass side of a single person in mutually perpendicular directions are separately adjustable and detectable 5.

It should also be mentioned that in the area of the guide ring 20 for end limiting in the direction of arrows 21 corresponding exemptions 24 are arranged, which attach to the guide surfaces 23 to allow a large adjustment of the guide ring 20 on the io guide member 25 in the direction of arrows 21.

It is indicated in the drawing of Figure 2 only that between the plates 7, 8 corresponding rubber seals 16 can be arranged, which are arranged both on the front, as well as on the back of the glass plate 1 and this glass elastic between the plates 7, 8 clamped.

The invention thus relates in summary to an adjustable and lockable clamp fitting for shower enclosures in the sanitary area for setting and fixing shower enclosures on a wall surface, wherein the clamping fitting wall-side fitting elements 20 and fitting elements includes on the part of the shower enclosures and the wall-side fitting elements depth and height adjustable and lockable formed to the wall surface are, wherein the wall-side fitting elements include at least one wall holder, which is fixed to the wall surface by means of at least its fastening element and at least one connectable with the wall holder adjustment plate which fertilizes the Verbin-25 to the fitting element on the part of the shower enclosures, wherein the adjustment plate relative to Wall holder depth and height adjustable and lockable is formed.

Furthermore, it is provided that the fitting elements are formed on the side of the shower enclosure to this depth adjustable at least in one plane. 30

Advantage of the invention Klemmbeschlages is that one adjustment direction can be changed without affecting the other adjustment direction, so that such a shower enclosure with inventive clamping fitting can be easily and conveniently mounted by a single person. 35
