Abstract: A mounting (1), which is used to attach one end of a shower rail (2) or similar long object to a wall, consists of an attachment part (3) which can be screwed to the wall. The attachment part (3) has a first toothed portion (8), the teeth of which run parallel to each other perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the shower rail (2) or at an angle to it. A mounting attachment (12) is connected to the shower rail (2) which as a complementary second toothed portion (13). In the mounted position, this mates with the first toothed portion (8) of the attachment part (3). The mounting attachment (12) is also contained in a holding fixture (16) on a linking part (15) so that it has axial movement, but which is shaped so that the intermeshing of the two sets of teeth (8, 13) can take place. One surface of the linking part (15) which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the shower rail (2) is supported on a corresponding surface of the attachment part (3).

Abstract: A shower support bracket can be moved axially on a shower rail and can be locked in various axial positions on the aforesaid rail by means of a clamping device. The clamping device locks on concealed gripping surfaces in a groove at the back of the shower rail. It consists of a clamping piece (7) which has two clamping jaws (7b, 7c) separated from each other by a gap (13). A wedge-shaped expanding projection (14) extends into the gap (13) between the clamping jaws (7b, 7c) such that, as the clamping piece (7) and expanding projection (14) move relative to each other, the two clamping jaws (7b, 7c) move at varying distances apart and by so doing are pushed at varying depths into the receiving hole (5) for the shower rail and in this way are pressed against the gripping surfaces of the shower rail with varying degrees of force.
