Abstract

A wall connecting piece for fitting to a concealed water main and for the connection of a hand-held shower hose contains a casing, which can be connected to the water main and on which is provided a connection for the shower hose. The casing contains a retaining head, which acts on the hand-held shower grip and which is pivotable about an axis passing through the casing.

Claims

1. A wall connecting piece, comprising:

a casing which is connectable to a wall connection adaptor for a water main and has a connection for a shower hose leading to a hand-held showing with a grip;

a mounting support for the hand-held shower, the mounting support having a retaining head mounted in the casing and which acts on the grip of the hand-held shower and is pivotable about an axis passing through the casing, the grip being fixable in the retaining head and the retaining head being insertable in the casing, the mounting support for the retaining head having an approximately U-shaped carrier with two approximately parallel arms, between which is inserted the retaining head, the U-shaped carrier having two approximately L-shaped mounting parts, each L-shaped mounting part having two connected legs whereof in each case one leg forms an arm of the carrier and a second leg is superimposed with a corresponding second leg of the other L-shaped mounting part to form a connecting web between the arms of the U-shaped carrier.

2. A wall connecting piece according to claim 1, wherein the U-shaped carrier is positively connected to the casing via lateral guides.

3. A wall connecting piece according to claim 1, wherein the mounting support has two tubular short hollow shaft butts, which engage in circular grooves in the retaining head.

4. A wall connecting piece according to claim 1, wherein a locking device is provided for the retaining head.

6. A wall connecting piece according to claim 3, wherein the hollow shaft butts are shaped in one piece on the carrier legs.

7. A wall connecting piece according to claim 1, wherein the casing is formed from a base member receiving functioning parts and which can be screwed to a wall and a cover fixing the mounting support.

8. A wall connecting piece according to claim 1, wherein the retaining head and the hose connection are arranged in a reciprocally, laterally displaced manner.

9. A wall connecting piece according to claim 1, wherein the L-shaped mounting parts are plastic.

5. A wall connecting piece, comprising:

a casing which is connectable to a wall connection adaptor for a water main and has a connection for a shower hose leading to hand-held shower with a grip;

a mounting support for the hand-held shower, the mounting support having a retaining head mounted in the casing and which acts on the grip of the hand-held shower and is pivotable about an axis passing through the casing, the grip being fixable in the retaining head, the mounting support having two tubular short hollow shaft butts, which engage in circular grooves in the retaining head, and a locking tooth system being arranged on an internal cylindrical surface of at least one of said hollow shaft butts and a locking member being connected in rotationally fixed manner with the retaining head, the locking member engaging in the locking tooth system to movably orient the grip.
