Description

[0029] Preferred designs and embodiments of this invention are shown in the accompanying drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description, wherein identical reference numbers refer to identical or similar or functionally identical components or elements.

[0030] In the form of a diagram,

[0031] FIG. 1 a fitting according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0032] FIG. 2 the fitting according to FIG. 1 with first and second component detached from each other according to an embodiment of the present invention in three-dimensional representation; and

[0033] FIG. 3 three-dimensional representation of the fitting according to FIG. 1 with the first and second components fixed together according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] FIG. 1 shows a fitting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] A sanitary fitting 1 is shown in FIG. 1. The sanitary fitting 1 comprises a main body 2 or base, a hose shower 4 and a support arm 3 held horizontally on the main body 2, wherein the hose shower 4 with its shower head 5 with outlet 7 is detachably held on the support arm 3 in a rest position by means of a detachable connection 8. A button 6 for triggering the water flow from the outlet 7 of the shower head 5 is arranged on the side of the shower head 5 facing away from the support arm 3.

[0036] FIG. 2 shows the fitting according to FIG. 1 with first and second component detached from each other according to an embodiment of the present invention in three-dimensional representation and FIG. 3 shows the fitting according to FIG. 1 with first and second component fixed to each other according to an embodiment of the present invention in three-dimensional representation.

[0037] In FIGS. 2 and 3, the support arm 3 has a rectangular cross section. At its end facing away from the main body 2 (not shown), the support arm 3 has a projection 20 in the form of a cuboid magnet 9, which is provided with a correspondingly designed protective cap 10.

[0038] The shower head 5 has a corresponding first recess 11 and a corresponding second recess 11a, each of which is provided with a protective insert 12, 12a. The protective cap 10 and protective insert 12, 12a can be made of plastic and are designed in such a way that the protective cap 10 can be inserted into the protective insert 12, 12a with a positive fit. In addition, the shower head 5 is made of magnetic material or has at least partially magnetic material, in particular in the area of the recesses 11, 11a, so that when the magnet 9 is inserted into the respective recess 11, 11a, a force-fit, detachable connection based on magnetic force can be produced. In the position in which the shower head 5 is fixed to the support arm 3, the shower head 5 and support arm 3 are spaced apart from one another except for the fixation via the projection 20 which engages in the recess 11, 11a. In particular, a circumferential gap 13 is formed on the radially outer side of the projection 20, which distances the shower head 5 and the support arm 3 from one another. The gap 13 can be between 1 mm and 5 mm.

[0039] If a user wishes to arrange the shower head 5 in a higher position, they can use the second recess 11a to engage the projection 20, which is arranged vertically below the first recess 11. However, it is also conceivable to arrange the first and second recesses 11, 11a offset to one another in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical shower head 5.

[0040] In summary, at least one of the embodiments of the invention may achieve at least one of the following features and/or at least one of the following advantages: [0041] Support arm of the fitting with integrated magnet. [0042] The magnet is protected by a plastic cap. [0043] Shower head with magnetic counterpart and correspondingly pronounced recess for holding the magnet from the arm. This is also protected by a plastic insert. [0044] Reduces damage to the surfaces of the shower head and support arm. [0045] Noise reduction through protective elements, especially made of plastic. [0046] High-quality optical impression. [0047] Reliable and defined specification. [0048] Simple, defined actuation of the fitting. [0049] Simple and cost-effective manufacture.

[0050] Although the present invention was described using preferred embodiments, it is not limited to these, but rather may be modified in various ways.
