Mounting bracket for hand shower

A mounting bracket for a hand shower having a support stem, the mounting bracket comprising:

• a support adapted to be stationarily fixed and formed with a centering tube centered on a normally horizontal axis;
• a holder formed with
• a forked seat shaped to receive the hand-shower stem,
• a cylindrical centering rod extending along the axis and having a predetermined outside diameter;
• interengaging formations on the holder and on the support for pivoting of the holder on the support about the horizontal axis while retaining the holder and support against relative axial movement;
• an array of ridges formed on the support, extending perpendicularly to and radially with respect to the axis, and projecting axially toward the holder;
• a retaining element having at least one elastically deformable flange formed with radially extending ridges interfitting with and complementary to the ridges of the support;
• formations rotationally coupling the retaining element to the holder;
• and
• a tubular locking bolt axially fixed in the centering tube of the support and axially pressing the retaining-element ridges against the support ridges, whereby the holder can be pivoted about the axis on the support with elastic deformation of the flange, the centering pin of the holder fitting coaxially in the bolt.
