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). There are also preformed on to the linking part (15) locking elements (17, 20) which, in the mounted position, engage in the corresponding locking devices (17, 18) on the attachment part (3) and, in this way, the two sets of teeth (8, 13) are intermeshed. With the mounting (1) as described, certain dimensional deviations in the distance between the top and bottom attachment part (3) which coincide with the top and bottom mounting (1) can be compensated for without resulting in any unsightly gaps in the area of the mounting (1) or even in any slackness in the fit of the shower rail (2).
