Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gelenkhalterung, wie sie insbesondere für Sanitärgegenstände verwendet werden soll. Bei Sanitärgegenständen besteht das allgemeine Problem, dass diese in einer bestimmten Ausrichtung angebracht werden sollen. Als Beispiel für ein derartiges Sanitärelement ist eine Handbrause anzunehmen, die beispielsweise am Ende ihres Griffs in einer Halterung eingesteckt wird. Sie soll dann in unterschiedliche Richtungen verstellt werden können. Eine solche Gelenkhalterung muss die unterschiedlichsten Forderungen erfüllen. Zum einen soll sie leicht verstellbar sein, zum anderen soll sie aber auch so ausgebildet sein, dass sie sich nicht von selbst verstellt. Außerdem soll sie Platz sparend sein und möglichst wenig stören. Weiterhin sollen bestimmte Positionen nicht eingenommen werden können, da es wenig Sinn macht, eine Handbrause beispielsweise gegen die Decke zu richten.The invention relates to a joint mount, as it should be used in particular for sanitary articles. Sanitary articles have the general problem that they should be installed in a certain orientation. As an example of such a sanitary element is to assume a hand shower, which is inserted, for example, at the end of its handle in a holder. It should then be able to be adjusted in different directions. Such a hinge bracket must meet a variety of requirements. On the one hand, it should be easy to adjust, on the other hand, it should also be designed so that it does not move by itself. In addition, it should be space-saving and disturb as little as possible. Furthermore, certain positions should not be taken, as it makes little sense to judge a hand shower, for example, against the ceiling.

Bei einer in der DE 296 06 918 offenbarten Haltevorrichtung für einen Brausekopf ist an einem Wandstangenschieber ein Kugelkopf angebracht, an dem die eigentliche Konushalterung verschwenkbar gehaltert ist. Mit Hilfe einer Überwurfmutter wird diese Konushalterung mehr oder weniger fest gegen den Kugelkopf gepresst, um dadurch die Leichtgängigkeit beziehungsweise die Arretierung einstellen zu können.At one in the DE 296 06 918 disclosed holding device for a shower head is mounted on a wall bar slider a ball head on which the actual cone holder is supported pivotally. With the help of a union nut, this cone holder is pressed more or less firmly against the ball head, thereby being able to adjust the ease of movement or the lock can.

In der DE 195 09 138 A1 ist eine einstellbare Duschen-Wandaufhängung offenbart, bei der am Ende eines Gelenkarms ein Kugelkopf mit einer abgeflachten Stelle vorhanden ist, gegen den ein federbelasteter Kolben drückt. Dadurch wird eine Festlegung in einer bestimmten Position bevorzugt, aus der der Gelenkarm aber auch herausbewegt werden kann, und zwar in alle Richtungen.In the DE 195 09 138 A1 there is disclosed an adjustable shower wall hanger wherein there is a ball head with a flattened position against the end of an articulated arm against which a spring loaded piston urges. As a result, a determination in a certain position is preferred from which the articulated arm can also be moved out, in all directions.

Weiterhin ist in der gattungsgemäßen DE 77 17 732 U1 ein Wandhalter für eine Handbrause mit einem Gehäuse offenbart, in dem ein eine Kugel und eine Kugelpfanne aufweisendes Kugelgelenk angeordnet ist, mit dem eine Gabel zur Aufnahme der Handbrause verbunden ist. Dabei ragt die Gabel von einer freien Stirnseite des Gehäuses ab. Die Kugelpfanne befindet sich an der hinteren, der freien Stirnseite abgewandten Seite der Kugel und kann mittels einer Tellerschraube gegen die Kukgel angedrückt werden. Dazu ist die Tellerschraube an der von der Kugel abgewandten Seite der Kugelpfanne angeordnet und in ein Innengewinde des Gehäuses eingeschraubt.Furthermore, in the generic DE 77 17 732 U1 discloses a wall holder for a hand shower with a housing in which a ball and a ball socket exhibiting ball joint is arranged, with which a fork for receiving the hand shower is connected. The fork protrudes from a free end of the housing. The ball socket is located on the rear, the free end face facing away from the ball and can be pressed by a cup screw against the Kukgel. For this purpose, the cup screw is arranged on the side facing away from the ball side of the ball socket and screwed into an internal thread of the housing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Gelenkhalterung zu schaffen, die insbesondere an die Anforderungen einer Sanitärhalterung angepasst ist und dafür verwendet werden kann.The invention is based on the object to provide a hinge bracket, which is particularly adapted to the requirements of a sanitary fitting and can be used for it.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Gelenkhalterung mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a joint mount with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Die Halterung enthält eine Lagerung, der gegenüber z.B. ein Sanitärelement, sofern es mit der Halterung verbunden ist, in seiner Lage verändert werden kann. In der Lagerung ist der Gelenkkopf gelagert, der eine rotationssymmetrische Mantelfläche aufweist. Die Rotationsachse der rotationssymmetrischen Mantelfläche des Gelenkkopfs bildet dann die Achse, um die der Gelenkarm verschwenkt werden kann. Die Lagerung geschieht zwischen der Mantelfläche des Gelenkkopfs und der diese umgebenden Lagerfläche der Lagerschale, an der die Mantelfläche anliegt.The holder includes a bearing, which can be changed in position relative to, for example, a sanitary element, if it is connected to the holder. In storage, the condyle is mounted, which has a rotationally symmetrical lateral surface. The axis of rotation of the rotationally symmetrical lateral surface of the condyle then forms the axis about which the articulated arm can be pivoted. The storage takes place between the lateral surface of the condyle and the surrounding bearing surface of the bearing shell on which abuts the lateral surface.

Die Lagerung beinhaltet eine Schraube, die durch eine Durchbrechung des Gelenkkopfs hindurchgestreckt und mit einer Mutter der Lagerung verschraubt ist. Dies bildet ein Vospannmittel für die Lagerschale. Damit soll erreicht werden, dass die Gelenkhalterung so eingestellt werden kann, dass, wenn keine äußeren Kräfte auf sie einwirken, z.B. das Sanitärelement in seiner Position bleibt. Andererseits soll es aber auch leichtgängig verschwenkt werden können.The bearing includes a screw which is stretched through an opening in the condyle and bolted to a nut of the bearing. This forms a Vospannmittel for the bearing shell. This is to achieve that the hinge bracket can be adjusted so that when no external forces act on them, e.g. the sanitary element remains in its position. On the other hand, it should also be easy to pivot.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Gelenkkopf die Form einer Scheibe aufweist. Die rotationssymmetrische Oberfläche ist also dann von zwei mindestens angenähert parallelen, ebenen oder mindestens angenähert ebenen Flächen begrenzt. Dies führt dazu, dass der Platzbedarf für die Lagerung selbst dann, wenn die rotationssymmetrische Oberfläche einen relativ großen Durchmesser aufweist, klein bleibt.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the condyle has the shape of a disc. The rotationally symmetric surface is then limited by two at least approximately parallel, flat or at least approximately planar surfaces. As a result, even if the rotationally symmetric surface has a relatively large diameter, the space requirement for the bearing remains small.

In Weiterbildung kann ebenfalls zusätzlich oder alternativ vorgesehen sein, dass auch die Lagerschale die Form einer Scheibe aufweist, also von zwei mindestens angenähert parallelen ebenen oder mindestens angenähert ebenen Flächen begrenzt wird.In a further development, it may also be additionally or alternatively provided that the bearing shell also has the shape of a disk, that is to say is delimited by two at least approximately parallel planar or at least approximately planar surfaces.

Eine im Rahmen der Erfindung liegende Möglichkeit, wie die rotationssymmetrische Mantelfläche ausgebildet sein kann, besteht darin, dass diese Mantelfläche eine Zylinderfläche ist. Dies bedeutet, dass der Gelenkarm um eine gegenüber der Lagerung ortsfeste Achse verschwenkt werden kann. Dies kann in einfachen Fällen für eine Sanitärhalterung durchaus ausreichen. Bei einer Verschwenkung um nur eine Achse kann die Mantelfläche auch von einer Zylinderfläche abweichen.A possibility, which is within the scope of the invention, of how the rotationally symmetrical lateral surface can be formed consists in that this lateral surface is a cylindrical surface. This means that the articulated arm can be pivoted about an axis fixed relative to the storage. This can in simple cases for a sanitary fitting quite enough. When pivoting about only one axis, the lateral surface may also differ from a cylindrical surface.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Mantelfläche des Gelenkkopfs und/oder die Lagerfläche der Lagerschale in einer Kugeloberfläche liegt, und insbesondere der Gelenkkopf eine Kugelscheibe ist.In a further development of the invention can also be provided that the lateral surface of the condyle and / or the bearing surface of the bearing shell lies in a spherical surface, and in particular the condyle is a spherical disc.

Bei einer Ausbildung der Lagerschale und/oder des Gelenkkopfs als Scheibe braucht die Dicke der Scheibe bei beiden Teilen nicht gleich zu sein.In an embodiment of the bearing shell and / or the condyle as a disc, the thickness of the disc need not be the same for both parts.

Bei der Ausbildung der Rotationsoberfläche als Zylinderfläche ist bereits dafür gesorgt, dass nur eine bestimmte Bewegung in einer bestimmten Ebene auftreten kann. Es wurde ja eingangs erwähnt, dass es in bestimmten Fällen sinnvoll ist, die Bewegung in gewisser Weise einzuschränken. Hierzu kann erfindungsgemäß auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Lagerung eine Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung aufweist, die vorzugsweise im Inneren des Gelenkkopfs angreift. Da der Gelenkkopf in der Regel in der Nähe des Gelenkarms von außen sichtbar ist, würde eine Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung, die an der Außenseite angreift, zu bei der Benutzung sichtbar werdenden Spuren führen. Beim Angreifen der Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung an der Innenseite des Gelenkkopfs, das heißt unterhalb der Rotationsoberfläche, treten keine von außen sichtbaren Abnutzungsspuren auf. Daher eignet sich diese Art der Ausbildung besonders bei Sanitärhalterungen, wo auf eine optisch ansprechende Ausbildung besonders geachtet wird.In the formation of the rotation surface as a cylindrical surface is already ensured that only a certain movement can occur in a particular plane. It was mentioned at the beginning that in certain cases it makes sense to limit the movement in a certain way. For this purpose, it can also be provided according to the invention that the bearing has a pivoting angle limit, which preferably engages inside the condyle. Since the condyle is usually visible from the outside in the vicinity of the articulated arm, a swivel angle limit which acts on the outside would lead to traces becoming visible during use. When attacking the swivel angle limiting on the inside of the condyle, that is below the surface of rotation, no visible from the outside wear marks. Therefore, this type of training is particularly suitable for sanitary brackets, where attention is paid to a visually appealing training.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Lagerung für den Gelenkkopf eine Achse bildet, die senkrecht zu der Rotationsachse der Oberfläche der Lagerschale verläuft. Dies bedeutet, dass der Gelenkarm einen zweiten Freiheitsgrad der Verschwenkung erhält. Zusätzlich zu der Verschwenkung um die Rotationsachse kann jetzt auch noch eine Verdrehung um eine senkrecht hierzu verlaufende Achse ermöglicht werden.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the bearing for the joint head forms an axis which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the surface of the bearing shell. This means that the articulated arm receives a second degree of freedom of pivoting. In addition to the pivoting about the axis of rotation, a rotation about an axis running perpendicular thereto can now also be made possible.

Insbesondere kann hier vorgesehen sein, dass diese Achse von einer Welle gebildet ist, die durch den Gelenkkopf hindurchgeht und insbesondere die Rotationsachse des Gelenkkopfs schneidet.In particular, it may be provided here that this axis is formed by a shaft which passes through the condyle and in particular intersects the axis of rotation of the condyle.

Bei der Welle kann es sich insbesondere um die Schraube handeln, beispielsweise aber auch um einen Stab, der in der Lagerung an mindestens einem seiner Enden festgelegt istThe shaft may in particular be the screw, for example, but also a rod which is fixed in the bearing at least one of its ends

Es kann in Weiterbildung aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Achse von einem oder zwei Wellenstümpfen gebildet wird, die also als getrennte, axial ausgerichtete Elemente ausgebildet sind.However, it may also be provided in a development that the axis is formed by one or two stub shafts, which are thus formed as separate, axially aligned elements.

Die Durchbrechung kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung so ausgestaltet sein, dass sie an der engsten Stelle dem Durchmesser der Schraube entspricht.The opening may be configured in a development of the invention so that it corresponds to the diameter of the screw at the narrowest point.

In nochmaliger Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Durchbrechung als Schlitz mit einer konstanten Breite ausgebildet ist, wobei diese Breite entsprechend dem vorher gesagten dem Durchmesser der Welle entspricht. Auf diese Weise kann dafür gesorgt werden, dass eine Bewegung des Gelenkarms um zwei zueinander senkrecht stehende Achsen möglich ist, dass aber eine dritte Verdrehung in Form eines Kugelgelenks nicht möglich ist.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the opening is formed as a slot with a constant width, said width corresponds to the previously said the diameter of the shaft. In this way it can be ensured that a movement of the articulated arm about two mutually perpendicular axes is possible, but that a third rotation in the form of a ball joint is not possible.

In Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schlitz quer zu seiner Breite von der Rotationsachse ausgehend divergiert und insbesondere Keilform aufweist. Dies macht es möglich, dass der Gelenkarm um die Rotationsachse um den durch den Keilwinkel bestimmten Winkel verschwenkt werden kann. Dies bildet also ein Beispiel für die erwähnte Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung, die im Inneren des Gelenkkopfs angreift.In a further development it can be provided that the slot diverges transversely to its width starting from the axis of rotation and in particular has a wedge shape. This makes it possible for the articulated arm to pivot about the axis of rotation about the angle determined by the wedge angle can be. So this forms an example of the mentioned pivoting angle limit, which acts in the interior of the condyle.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich, dass die Durchbrechung des Gelenkkopfs von der Rotationsachse ausgehend räumlich divergiert, so dass eine Kegelform vorhanden sein kann. Dies macht die Bewegung um zwei Achsen in begrenztem Ausmaß möglich.It is also possible that the opening of the condyle is spatially diverging from the axis of rotation, so that a conical shape can be present. This makes the movement around two axes possible to a limited extent.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich, dass das Vorspannmittel eine Federbeaufschlagung umfasst, die beispielsweise durch einen Druckknopf gelöst werden kann. In diesem Fall kann auch eine feststehende Verklemmung durchgeführt werden.It is also possible that the biasing means comprises a spring loading, which can be solved for example by a push button. In this case, a fixed deadlock can be performed.

Der Gelenkarm ist vorzugsweise so angeordnet, dass er aus der rotationssymmetrischen Oberfläche des Gelenkkopfs herausragt, also nicht seitlich angesetzt ist.The articulated arm is preferably arranged so that it protrudes from the rotationally symmetrical surface of the condyle, that is not attached laterally.

In nochmaliger Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Lagerung eine Abdeckung aufweist, die den Gelenkkopf und die Lagerschale allseits abdeckt, so dass nur eine Öffnung für den Durchtritt des Gelenkarms verbleibt, die natürlich so groß bemessen sein muss, dass der Gelenkarm sich auch in der vorgesehenen Weise bewegen kann.In a further development can be provided that the storage has a cover that covers the joint head and the bearing shell on all sides, so that only one opening for the passage of the articulated arm remains, which of course must be sized so large that the articulated arm is also in the intended manner to move.

Die Gelenkhalterung, die von der Erfindung vorgesehen wird, kann beispielsweise an einem Schieber einer Wandstange angeordnet sein oder auch als ortsfeste, an einer Wand oder einem sonstigen Element befestigte Lagerung ausgebildet sein.The hinge mount, which is provided by the invention, may for example be arranged on a slider of a wall bar or be designed as a fixed, attached to a wall or other element storage.

Die Lagerschalenoberfläche 17 der Lagerschale 6 und die Rotationsoberfläche 9 des Gelenkkopfs 8 haben natürlich eine gemeinsame Rotationsachse, die gleichzeitig die Drehachse bildet, um die der Gelenkkopf 8 und damit der Gelenkarm 5 verdreht werden können.The bearing shell surface 17 of the bearing shell 6 and the rotation surface 9 of the condyle 8 naturally have a common axis of rotation which simultaneously forms the axis of rotation about which the condyle 8 and thus the articulated arm 5 can be rotated.

Durch die Anordnung der Durchbrechung 7 in der Lagerschale 6 bildet diese zwei Arme 6a, 6b. Aufgrund der Elastizität des Materials, aus dem die Lagerschale 6 hergestellt ist, können diese Arme 6a, 6b in ihrem gegenseitigen Abstand etwas federn. Durch die beiden Arme 6a, 6b ist eine Stufenbohrung 10 geführt, deren Achsen miteinander fluchten. Diese Achse durchsetzt die Durchbrechung 7 und kreuzt die Rotationsachse der beiden Rotationsoberflächen. Der Gelenkkopf 8 weist ebenfalls eine Durchbrechung 11 auf, deren Längsachse gegenüber der Ansatzstelle des Gelenkarms 5 in der Schnittebene der Figur 1 um etwa 90° versetzt ist. Die Durchbrechung 11 hat eine engste Stelle 11a, die in der Mitte zwischen den beiden äußeren Enden der Durchbrechung 11 liegt. An dieser Stelle 11a entspricht die Breite und die Dicke der Durchbrechung 11 dem Durchmesser einer Schraube 12, die durch die Bohrung 10 und die Durchbrechung 11 hindurch gesteckt ist. Auf der einen Seite enthält die Schraube 12 einen Schraubenkopf 13, auf der anderen Seite ist die Schraube 12 in eine Mutter 14 eingeschraubt, zu deren Verdrehung eine Antriebsvertiefung 15 vorgesehen ist, die von der Schraube 12 weg zeigt. Beidseits der engsten Stelle 11a der Durchbrechung 11 in dem Gelenkkopf 8 divergiert die Durchbrechung 11 in einer Form, die einem Keil entspricht. Die Seitenwände 16 der Durchbrechung 11 verlaufen also geradlinig. Wie man der Figur 1 ohne weiteres entnehmen kann, kann der Gelenkkopf 8 und mit ihm der Gelenkarm 5 im Uhrzeigersinn soweit verschwenkt werden, bis die Seitenwand 16 der Durchbrechung an dem Schaft der Schraube 12 zur Anlage gelangt. Da die Durchbrechung 11 auf beiden Seiten der engsten Stelle 11a symmetrisch ausgebildet ist, liegen dann die Seitenwände 16 oberhalb und unterhalb des mittleren Teils an dem Schaft der Schraube 12 an. Dieses Anliegen bildet eine Begrenzung des Drehwinkels, um den der Gelenkarm 5 verschwenkt werden kann.Due to the arrangement of the opening 7 in the bearing shell 6, these two arms 6a, 6b. Due to the elasticity of the material from which the bearing shell 6 is made, these arms 6a, 6b can feather somewhat in their mutual distance. Through the two arms 6a, 6b, a stepped bore 10 is guided, whose axes are aligned. This axis passes through the opening 7 and crosses the axis of rotation of the two rotation surfaces. The condyle 8 also has an opening 11, the longitudinal axis relative to the attachment point of the articulated arm 5 in the sectional plane of the FIG. 1 offset by about 90 °. The opening 11 has a narrowest point 11 a, which lies in the middle between the two outer ends of the opening 11. At this point 11a corresponds to the width and the thickness of the opening 11 the diameter of a screw 12 which is inserted through the bore 10 and the aperture 11 therethrough. On the one hand, the screw 12 includes a screw head 13, on the other hand, the screw 12 is screwed into a nut 14, to whose rotation a drive recess 15 is provided, pointing away from the screw 12. On both sides of the narrowest point 11a of the opening 11 in the condyle 8, the aperture 11 diverges in a shape corresponding to a wedge. The side walls 16 of the aperture 11 thus extend in a straight line. How to get the FIG. 1 can easily remove, the condyle 8 and with him the articulated arm 5 can be pivoted clockwise so far until the side wall 16 of the aperture 12 comes to rest on the shaft of the screw. Since the opening 11 is formed symmetrically on both sides of the narrowest point 11 a, then the side walls 16 are above and below the middle part of the shaft of the screw 12 at. This concern forms a limitation of the angle of rotation by which the articulated arm 5 can be pivoted.

Durch mehr oder weniger weites Anziehen der Mutter 14 bei festgehaltenem Schraubenschaft der Schraube 12 kann eine mehr oder weniger weite Verspannung der beiden Arme 6a, 6b der Lagerschale erfolgen. Eine stärkere Verspannung der beiden Arme führte zu einer vergrößerten Bremswirkung der Lagerschale 6 an dem Gelenkkopf 8.By more or less tightening the nut 14 while holding the screw shaft of the screw 12, a more or less wide bracing of the two arms 6a, 6b of the bearing shell take place. A stronger tension of the two arms led to an increased braking action of the bearing shell 6 on the joint head 8.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ebenfalls, dass um die Lagerschale 6 herum ein Gehäuse in Form einer Abdeckung 18 vorhanden ist, die die gesamte Lagerschale mit Ausnahme einer Öffnung 19 abdeckt. Die Öffnung 19 ist erforderlich, damit der Gelenkarm 5 ausreichend Platz für seine Verschwenkung aufweist.The FIG. 1 also shows that around the bearing shell 6 around a housing in the form of a cover 18 is present, which covers the entire bearing shell with the exception of an opening 19. The opening 19 is required so that the articulated arm 5 has sufficient space for its pivoting.

In Verlängerung der Antriebsvertiefung 15 der Mutter 14 weist die Abdeckung 18 eine Öffnung 20 auf, durch die mit einem Werkzeug in die Schraubenantriebsvertiefung 15 eingegriffen werden kann.In extension of the drive recess 15 of the nut 14, the cover 18 has an opening 20, can be intervened by the with a tool in the screw drive recess 15.

Aus der Figur 1 ist noch nicht ersichtlich, wie die Form der Oberfläche 17 der Lagerschale 6 und die Form der Rotationsoberfläche 9 des Gelenkkopfs 8 ausgebildet ist. Dies zeigt die Figur 2, die einen Querschnitt durch die Anordnung der Figur 1 unterhalb der engsten Stelle 11a des Gelenkkopfs 8 zeigt.From the FIG. 1 is not yet apparent, as the shape of the surface 17 of the bearing shell 6 and the shape of the rotation surface 9 of the condyle 8 is formed. This shows the FIG. 2 , which is a cross section through the arrangement of FIG. 1 below the narrowest point 11a of the condyle 8 shows.

In den Schnitt der Figur 2 ist zu sehen, dass sowohl die Lagerfläche 17 der Lagerschale 6 als auch die an ihr anliegende Rotationsoberfläche 9 des Gelenkkopfs 8 Teil einer Kugeloberfläche sind. Der Gelenkkopf 9 kann also nicht nur um die senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene der Figur 1 verlaufende Rotationsachse verschwenkt werden, sondern auch um eine senkrecht zur Papierebene der Figur 2 verlaufende Achse, die in diesem Fall mit der Längsachse der Schraube 12 zusammenfällt. Die Breite des die Durchbrechung 11 bildenden Schlitzes, in Figur 2 von oben nach unten gemessen, entspricht in etwa dem Außendurchmesser der Schraube 12. Auf diese Weise kann der Gelenkkopf 8 um die Schraube 12 herum verschwenkt werden, also zusätzlich zu der Verschwenkung um eine senkrecht zur Schraube 12 verlaufende Achse. Die Welle 12 verhindert aber, dass der Gelenkkopf 8 um eine in Figur 2 von links nach rechts verlaufende Achse verdreht werden kann. Dies könnte aber ebenfalls erreicht werden, wenn die Durchbrechung 11 nicht nur in der Schnittebene der Figur 1 divergiert, sondern auch in der Schnittebene der Figur 2, also statt eines Doppelkeils ein Doppelkegel gebildet wäre.In the cut the FIG. 2 It can be seen that both the bearing surface 17 of the bearing shell 6 and the rotational surface 9 of the joint head 8 resting against it are part of a spherical surface. The condyle 9 can therefore not only to the perpendicular to the plane of the FIG. 1 extending axis of rotation are pivoted, but also to a perpendicular to the plane of the paper FIG. 2 extending axis, which coincides in this case with the longitudinal axis of the screw 12. The width of the aperture 11 forming slot, in FIG. 2 measured from top to bottom, corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the screw 12. In this way, the condyle 8 can be pivoted about the screw 12 around, so in addition to the pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the screw 12 extending axis. The shaft 12 prevents, however, that the condyle 8 to a in FIG. 2 can be rotated from left to right axis. But this could also be achieved if the aperture 11 not only in the sectional plane of the FIG. 1 diverges, but also in the cutting plane of the FIG. 2 , So instead of a double wedge a double cone would be formed.

Die Schraube 12, die in Figur 1 dargestellt ist, hat hier eine dreifache Funktion. Sie bildet einerseits die Achse, um die eine Verschwenkung des Gelenkarms 5 erfolgen kann. Darüberhinaus bildet sie zusammen mit den Seitenwänden 16 der Durchbrechung 11 eine Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung bei der Verschwenkung in der Schnittebene der Figur 1. Als dritter Aufgabe hat sie die Aufgabe, die Verspannung der beiden Arme 6a, 6b der Lagerschale 6 zu bewirken.The screw 12, which in FIG. 1 is shown here, has a threefold function. On the one hand, it forms the axis about which a pivoting of the articulated arm 5 can take place. In addition, it forms together with the side walls 16 of the opening 11 a pivoting angle limitation during the pivoting in the cutting plane of the FIG. 1 , As a third task, it has the task of causing the tension of the two arms 6a, 6b of the bearing shell 6.

Die Verspannung der beiden Arme 6a, 6b der Lagerschale 6 könnte auch auf beiden Seiten des Gelenkkopfs 8 erfolgen. Die Drehwinkelbegrenzung und die Drehachsenbildung könnte auch dadurch geschehen, dass von jedem Arm 6a, 6b ein Zapfen in die Durchbrechung 11 hinein ragen würde, ohne dass die beiden Zapfen miteinander verbunden wären. Durch die Ausbildung als Schraube mit Mutter werden aber alle diese drei Aufgaben gleichzeitig erfüllt.The bracing of the two arms 6a, 6b of the bearing shell 6 could also take place on both sides of the condyle 8. The rotation angle limitation and the rotation axis formation could also be effected by a pin projecting into the opening 11 of each arm 6a, 6b without the two pins being connected to one another. By training as a bolt with mother but all these three tasks are fulfilled simultaneously.

Wie man der Figur 2 ebenfalls entnehmen kann, ist der Gelenkkopf 8 nicht als volle Kugel ausgebildet, sondern als Kugelscheibe mit zwei parallelen Außenflächen 21. Auch die Lagerschale 6 ist als Scheibenelement mit parallelen Seitenflächen ausgebildet, die in der Darstellung der Figur 2 mit den Seitenflächen 21 des Gelenkkopfs 8 zusammenfallen.How to get the FIG. 2 can also be seen, the condyle 8 is not formed as a full ball, but as a spherical disc with two parallel outer surfaces 21. Also, the bearing shell 6 is formed as a disc member with parallel side surfaces, which in the illustration of FIG. 2 coincide with the side surfaces 21 of the condyle 8.

Nun zu Figur 3. Figur 3 zeigt in geringerer Einzelheit die Anordnung des Schiebers 2 mit der in ihm enthaltenen Lagerung an einer Wandstange, wobei aus der der Wandstange 1 abgewandten Vorderseite 22 der Abdeckung 18 der Gelenkarm 5 herausragt. Am freien Ende des Gelenkarms 5 ist eine Konushalterung 23 für den Griff einer Handbrause angeordnet. now to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 shows in a smaller detail the arrangement of the slider 2 with the storage contained in it on a wall rod, which protrudes from the wall bar 1 facing away from the front side 22 of the cover 18 of the articulated arm 5. At the free end of the articulated arm 5, a cone holder 23 is arranged for the handle of a hand shower.
