The The invention relates to a hand shower with a shower head and a From this outgoing handle and a shower combination with such Hand shower and with a holding surface or holding plate.

Usually Hand showers are attached to so-called handrails or on a longitudinally displaceable on the support rod holder. alternative can a similarly shaped holder directly to a wall be screwed, in which case the position of the hand shower not can be changed.

From the DE 21 09 642 It is known to provide a separate holder in which a hand shower can be inserted with a magnet. Thus, this holder can be attached to any position on a metal plate on a bathroom wall.

Task and solution

Of the Invention is based on the object, an aforementioned hand shower and to provide an aforementioned shower combination, with which Disadvantages of the prior art can be avoided and in particular a hand shower light, fast and comfortable Way can be kept.

Solved This object is achieved by a hand shower with the features of the claim 1 and a shower combination with the features of claim 11. Advantageous and preferred embodiments of the invention are Subject of the further claims and will be in the following explained in more detail. The wording of the claims becomes the content of the description by express reference made.

According to the invention in the shower head or in the handle at the back or top a magnet provided to the hand shower on a magnetizable or magnetic surface or holding surface to fasten or to hold. The magnet is of an elastic Covering covered or arranged under it. Thus, not only a magnet on the hand shower is provided for Holder on, for example, a metal surface, but the wrapping allows certain functionalities of the To allow magnets such as mobility or the like. or but a certain shape of the hand shower over the magnet to form in normal use, which in mounting on a Can change holding surface or holding plate. So is a so-called invisible holder of the hand shower possible, which furthermore also some other possibilities offers, as explained in more detail below becomes.

According to one first basic embodiment of the invention can be provided that the magnet firmly and immovably attached to the hand shower is. Its contour or shape is different than that of the envelope, wherein the enclosure at least partially a distance from having the magnet. In particular, it can be provided that the Magnet actually overhangs the contour or shape of the hand shower with a form favorable for its production, for example as a disk or as a cuboid. To the outer contour the hand shower a different, more pleasing or cheaper To give design or shape, the cladding can be done accordingly be formed, for example, in the manner of a thin Rubber membrane or sheath. Will the hand shower with the magnet attached to an aforementioned retaining plate, the enclosure be compressed or deformed such that the magnet if possible with the wrapping in between at the Holding surface is applied, advantageously as large as possible. This is especially beneficial for rounded hand showers, especially when the magnet is arranged in a round handle is.

According to one other basic embodiment of the invention can the magnet is not fixed, but movably arranged on the hand shower, moving away from the hand shower or towards the towering tower Serving is movable. Advantageously, he can do a piece be moved out or, usually a few millimeters of freedom of movement are sufficient. The freedom of movement The magnet can be designed so that it moves out from the hand shower or shower head or advantageous handle pierce the contour or the surface course would and survive. If the envelope over this contour or this surface profile over emulates the magnet, it is pushed away from the magnet or deformed and thus adapts to the magnet. For example, at Arrangement of the magnet on the handle, the envelope of the other Rounding the handle correspond. When applying the hand shower with the magnet to a holding surface of the magnet through the magnetic attraction, he pushes so to speak, the rounded wrap flat and lies flat on the holding surface and holds the hand shower.

For the mobility of the magnet can be a guide device be provided, for example, with a carriage which carries the magnet, wherein the carriage on a guide attached to the hand shower running. There should be little play except in the direction of movement be given or a movement be possible only linear, so that the magnet does not wobble odgl ..

The elastic sheath may be a Be make rich hand shower, especially on the outside or back of the hand shower, where the magnet is provided. It advantageously continues the contour or progression of the hand shower in areas around it. For example, it may be provided on the back of the handle and extend only over part of the length of the handle. Alternatively, it may extend to the back of the handle over its entire length. Due to its elasticity, it can on the one hand have a desired shape or give it to the handle. At the same time, it is adaptable to the shape of a magnet regardless of whether it is fixed or movable. The wrapper may be made of elastic plastic such as rubber or a silicone mixture. It can be attached as a separate part of the hand shower during installation or used. Alternatively, it can be injection-molded in order to avoid in particular leakage problems.

Of the Magnet is beneficial on its protruding side, with which it connects the rest of the support surface should be substantially flat. So the holding force is as large as possible. alternative The magnet can also be curved or curved, and also the holding surface for attachment can be designed accordingly be, for example, with a groove-like depression.

In Embodiment of the invention can both in the shower head as well as at least one magnet may be provided in the handle. This allows a hand shower, so to speak, both with the shower head as well as with the handle on a corresponding surface be attached. This may result different mounting positions, what a different Use of the hand shower allows. This too will be below explained in detail. You can also different be formed, one fixed and one movable. In preferred Embodiment of the invention are magnets each at the back or top of shower head and / or handle arranged.

In Another embodiment of the invention can be provided that an area near a magnet or flat around the magnet or just trained. This is especially true when a magnet is provided at the rear or top of the hand shower. Such a flat area should have an area which is several times larger than the area the magnet itself. This will ensure that the hand shower particularly good adheres to the surface due to the magnetic Attraction as a twisting or tipping the hand shower through the large area is avoided.

In Yet another embodiment of the invention can in certain Areas at the back or top of the hand shower, beneficial be provided around the magnet, a material which is soft or elastic. In particular, this material is softer than the other surface of the hand shower, for example namely rubbery or soft elastic. With these areas the hand shower is at magnetic attachment to an aforementioned Surface, and that beneficial both when using the shower head as well as when using the handle over each contained therein magnets attached to the surface becomes. The soft or elastic material can be flat or over a large area or in the form of smaller elevations be provided, for example, knob-like or rib-like. Thereby can scratch the other, often chrome-plated surface the hand shower as well as the arbitrarily designable surface, At the hand shower be strengthened be avoided. Furthermore can be built by a great stiction, which prevents the hand shower despite magnetic effect on the Surface slips off, for example, if it is wet.

It is beneficial when shower head and / or handle from the side seen or in the lateral cross section a substantially elongated or just have extension, in particular with at least each mostly flat back. Close advantageous seen from the side shower head and handle an angle of significantly more than 90 °, especially advantageous more than 135 ° and less than 170 °. It may additionally to attach the hand shower via magnets in the shower head and / or be provided in the handle, between these two a transition region to create, flattened at the back of the hand shower or should be flat, to a transition area to build. In this transition area or the transition area can also be arranged a magnet, so that so that the Hand shower in an orientation on the metallic surface can be attached, which an intermediate position between the Attachment with the handle and attachment with the shower head is. In this case, the transition surface advantageous go over at an angle to both the shower head and the handle.

The holding surface, which together with a hand shower described above forms said shower combination according to the invention, can be arranged on a wall or on a ceiling, under certain circumstances also freestanding in space as a kind of pillar or stele. It may consist of or have iron or equivalent material for attaching a magnet thereto. For optical as well as for corrosion reasons, it may be coated, for example, chrome-plated or with plastic coating. Advantageously, it is designed as a plate or retaining plate, particularly advantageously flat. Their size can vary within wide limits, from slightly larger than the hand shower to one Height of more than a meter, possibly in a bathroom even from floor to ceiling.

These and other features are excluded from the claims also from the description and the drawings, wherein the individual features in each case alone or to several in the form of subcombination in one embodiment of the invention and in other fields be realized and advantageous as well as for protectable versions represent protection here becomes. The subdivision of the application into individual sections as well Intermediate headlines limit those among them statements made in their generality.

Brief description of the drawings

embodiments The invention are shown schematically in the drawings and will be explained in more detail below. In the drawings demonstrate:

1 a rear view of a hand shower according to the invention,

2 a section through the handle of the hand shower off 1 .

3 the hand shower off 1 which is attached to the back of the handle to a metallic support surface,

4 a representation similar 2 as a section through the handle of the hand shower according to 3 and

5 a modification of the presentation 2 with a fixed magnet over which a flexible sheath is compressed.

Detailed description the embodiments

In 1 is a hand shower 11 shown in rear view, which has a shower head 13 and a protruding handle 15 having. The side view of this hand shower 11 is in 3 shown. It can be seen that the shower head 13 relatively flat and disc-shaped. The handle 15 By contrast, it is round cylindrical and straight.

In 1 can be seen as at the back of the handle 15 a frame 16 is used as a separate part, in turn, an elastic sheath 17 having. The shape of frame 16 and serving 17 can look better 2 be removed. Here you can see that the frame 16 on its outer side, the circular contour or the circular cross-section of the shower handle 15 continues. It can also be seen how the wrapping 17 exactly the same way the circular cross-section of the other handle 15 , in particular above and below the frame 16 according to 1 , is adjusted.

The frame 16 may consist of a plastic part and be chromed, for example, on its outside visible side. Alternatively, it may have a different color, advantageously the same as the wrapper 17 himself. The serving 17 may be made of an elastomer or other flexible material, for example, of a silicone material. She should be in the in 2 illustrated, so to speak relaxed state the interior of the frame 16 fill in as well as possible and also seal it off to some extent.

The frame 16 with serving 17 is in a recess 20 in the shower handle 15 arranged. In this recess 20 becomes an insert 21 used, which covers the bottom surface of the recess substantially. On the outsides of the insert 21 relies a laterally protrude the paragraph of the envelope 17 on and off by pushing in the frame 16 mechanically fastened and also sealed.

On the insert 21 is a leadership facility 22 arranged, which is a magnet 23 wearing. The training of the leadership institution 22 may be different, for example, with the use 21 fastened projecting rods, which are in rod guides in the guide device 22 to run. The magnet 23 may be a conventional magnet, advantageously a high performance magnet such as cobalt samarium or neodymium. He is firmly in the leadership 22 held. It can also be seen as between the magnet 23 and the inside of the wrapper 17 a gap 25 is provided. The mobility of the guide device 22 on the insert 21 and thus also the magnet 23 should at least this gap 25 or its height.

In 3 is shown as the hand shower 11 on a holding plate 35 , which is attached, for example, in a manner not shown on a wall, mounted or supported as a shower combination according to the invention 34 , This is the hand shower 11 with the back of the handle 15 to the holding plate 35 approximated and pressed against it. Then it moves, as in 4 is shown, the magnet 23 by its attraction to the retaining plate 35 with his leadership facility 22 from the insert 21 away and press on the inside of the wrapper 17 to. This will make the wrapper 17 deformed, from the round shape according to 2 to a flat and level shape according to 4 , It would also be conceivable deviations from this planar shape, for example, a kind of rib-like projection of the magnet with a on it matching outer contour of the enclosure, which in a corresponding recess in the retaining plate 35 abut flat against each other.

Out 4 It can be seen how to hold the magnet 23 moved and the shape of the cladding 17 changed so that they or so the handle 15 flat or flat on the retaining plate 35 is applied. Because the leadership device 22 on the insert 21 otherwise should have as little play, so a stable and practical holder of the hand shower 11 on the retaining plate 35 respectively.

A modification of the invention or a hand shower 111 is in 5 shown. Here's similar to a construction 2 on a handle 115 as well a recess 120 provided, in which an elastic sheath 117 and a frame 116 are used. A mission 121 carries a magnet 123 but not movable, so it is fixed to the handle. It can be seen how the wrapping 117 , which otherwise in the normal state the circular cross-section of the handle 115 continues when attaching the hand shower 111 on a holding plate 135 is pressed in and thus, similar to in 4 , a magnetic holder on the retaining plate 135 is possible.

In contrast to 4 the magnet moves here 123 not, but the contour of the envelope 117 is pressed in or out with the holder. In another variant embodiment, it would also be possible to hold the magnet to the insert so that it no longer part of a holding device or the like. is surmounted and thus rests directly with a flat top on the inner wall of the enclosure and in turn is pressed against the holding plate with this.
