Wall-mount bracket for hand shower

A bracket for supporting a hand shower adjacent a wall, the bracket comprising:

• a base part adapted to be fixed to the wall, formed with a throughgoing passage extending along a horizontal axis generally parallel to the wall, and having axially oppositely directed sides;
• a holder part pivotally mounted on the base part about the axis on one of the axial sides of the base part and with an upwardly open seat centered on the axis and adapted to receive the hand shower, one of the parts being formed centered on the axis with an angularly limited arcuate slot open axially toward the other part, the other part being formed with a lug projecting axially toward the one part and fitting in the slot, whereby the slot and lug limit the relative angular displaceability of the parts;
• a bolt extending axially through the passage and having on the other axial side of the base part a threaded end and on the one axial side of the base part a radially projecting flange that bears axially toward the base part on the holder part;
• at least one axially throughgoing cutout formed on the base part and opening radially into the passage and a radially projecting tab formed on the bolt and engaged in the cutout, the cutout and tab together fixing the bolt in the base part against rotation relative to the base part;
• and
• a nut threaded on the threaded end of the bolt and bearing axially on the other axial side of the base part.

• interengaging formations on the bolt and on the base part fixing the bolt in the base part against rotation relative to the base part;
• and
• a nut threaded on the threaded end of the bolt and bearing axially on the other axial side of the base part.

• a base part adapted to be fixed to the wall, formed with a throughgoing passage extending along a horizontal axis generally parallel to the wall, and having axially oppositely directed end faces;
• a holder part pivotally mounted on the base part about the axis at one of the end faces of the base part and formed with an upwardly open seat centered on the axis and adapted to receive the hand shower;
• a bolt extending axially through the passage and having at the other end face of the base part a threaded end and a radially projecting flange that bears axially on the one base-part end face toward the base part on the holder part;
• interengaging formations on the bolt and on the base part fixing the bolt in the base part against rotation relative to the base part;
• a nut threaded on the threaded end of the bolt;
• and
• an axially compressible spring ring engaged between the nut and the other face of the base part.
