Abstract

The invention provides a simplified shower holder combination adapted to be easily adjustable and the shower holder comprises a bracket member slidably and pivotably arranged on a wall-attached bar, said bracket member having a pivot shaft whereupon a shower handle holder is fitted, clamping means being arranged for simultaneously arresting the bracket in any selected position at said bar and the shower handle holder in any selected pivot position relative to said bracket.

Claims

1. A shower holder assembly comprising in combination an elongated bar, means for attaching said bar to a wall, a bracket, a holder member for a shower handle attached to said bracket, said bracket comprising a yoke-like member defining an opening receiving said bar, said bracket being slidable along said bar and rotatable about said bar, said bracket including a pair of generally parallel shanks extending from said opening, said holder member being attached between said shanks and being connected thereto by means of a pivot pin, said holder member including a gripping ring for the shower handle said ring being open on one side and an adjustable tightening means connected between said shanks for releasably clamping the bracket to the bar and simultaneously clamping the holder member in position in the bracket by adjusting the distance between the shanks, wherein the holder member has a width which decreases towards a free end at least over the portion of the holder between said shanks, said shanks being spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the thinnest part of said portion at said free end of said holder, whereby said shanks are force apart by said holder member portion such that the holder member remains fixed against unintentional pivotal movement even if said tightening means is loose for sliding adjustment of said bracket along said bar.

2. The shower holder assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tightening means is a rotary member comprising a screw extending through a bore in one of said shanks and projecting into a second bore in the second one of said shanks, said screw being in threaded engagement with said second bore and an actuating member being provided for tightening said screw.

3. The shower holder assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tightening means is a rotary member comprising a nut with a tapering threaded bore corresponding to tapering external threads provided on a portion of said shanks, said shanks being received in the bore of said nut.

4. The shower holder assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein grooves are provided on internal surface portions of said shanks between which said holder member is arrested, said holder member being provided with corresponding grooves on surface means thereof situated between said shank portions.
