Abstract: A wall-mounting rod for attaching a holder for a shower head having a shower hose has a groove on its front surface, into which the section of hose from the shower head emerging from the holder may be inserted. The holder also has a sort of groove, into which the hose may be inserted. A securing device that holds the hose in place in the groove in the rod is provided in the vicinity of the lower end of the rod.

Abstract: A holding device for a hand-operated shower head contains a body, which is e.g. constructed as a slide for a wall rod and is held in longitudinally slidable manner on the wall rod. In its front it contains an adjusting screw for adjusting the force with which a brake mechanism acts on the wall rod. A reception element is articulated to the body so as to be pivotable about an axis upstream of the wall rod. The reception element receives part of the handle of a shower head, so as to fix the latter. The shower head can be pivoted in such a way that the median axis of the cone nut inserted in the receptacle is moved in a plane in which the longitudinal axis of the wall rod is also located.
