Device for holding a hand-held showerhead and the like

Abstract

A device for holding a shower element such as a showerhead and the like, has an attaching element attachable to a surface; a holding element turnable to said attaching element; and a device for fixing said holding element relative to said attaching element in any of a plurality of positions, said fixing means including a plurality of projections formed on one of said attaching element and said holding element and at least one counter projection formed on the other of said attaching element and said holding element and engageable with any of said first mentioned projections so as to fix said holding element relative to said attaching element in a corresponding position.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:  
     
         1 . A device for holding a shower element, such as a showerhead and the like, comprising an attaching element attachable to a surface; a holding element turnable to said attaching element; and means for fixing said holding element relative to said attaching element in any of a plurality of positions, said fixing means including a plurality of formations formed on one of said attaching element and said holding element and at least one counter formations formed on the other of said attaching element and said holding element and engageable with any of said first mentioned formations so as to fix said holding element relative to said attaching element in a corresponding position.  
     
     
         2 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one formation is elastically displaceable.  
     
     
         3 . A device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said at least one formation is formed on an elastically displaceable part.  
     
     
         4 . A device as defined in  claim 3 , wherein said elastically displaceable part is a part of said holding element.  
     
     
         5 . A device as defined in  claim 4 , wherein said holding element is provided with said elastically displaceable part.  
     
     
         6 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said holding element is provided with a tubular passage having an axis, said holding element being turnable relative to said attaching element about an axis extending substantially perpendicular to said axis of said tubular passage.  
     
     
         7 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said first mentioned formations are formed as a plurality of teeth, while said at least one formation is formed as a tooth.  
     
     
         8 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said attaching element includes an attaching member which is attachable to the surface and an intermediate member which is turnably connectable with said attaching member, said holding element being turnably connectable with said intermediate member, said intermediate member being turnable relative to said attaching member and said holding member being turnable relative to said intermediate member about two axes extending substantially parallel to one another.  
     
     
         9 . A device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said attaching element is formed as a vacuum attaching member.  
     
     
         10 . A device for holding a hand held showerhead and the like, comprising an attaching element to be attachable to a surface; and a holding element turnable between an operative position in which it is fixed relative to said attaching element and an inoperative position in which it is not fixed relative to said attaching element, said holding element having a holding part adapted to hold a showerhead and the like and a fixing means which provides fixing of said holding element relative to said attaching element in each of a plurality of positions of said holding element relative to said attaching element, said fixing means being actuatable by a showerhead or the like insertable into said holding element.
