Abstract

A vertical rail slider and a mobile showerhead holder are provided. The vertical rail includes a body, provided with a sleeve portion configured to be sleeved on and fitted with the vertical rail; a rotation piece, rotatably connected to the body around a rotation axis perpendicular to an axial direction of the vertical rail; an abutting piece, sliding along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis in a radial direction of the vertical rail relative to the body and abutting against the vertical rail to be fitted with the sleeve portion to be attached to the vertical rail; and an elastic piece, wherein two ends of the elastic piece abut against the abutting piece and the body to push the abutting piece to abut against the vertical rail.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vertical rail slider, configured to be attached to or detached from a vertical rail to be fixed to or to move relative to the vertical rail, the vertical rail slider comprising:
a body, provided with a sleeve portion configured to be sleeved on and fitted with the vertical rail;
a rotation piece, rotatably connected to the body around a rotation axis perpendicular to an axial direction of the vertical rail;
an abutting piece, sliding along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis in a radial direction of the vertical rail relative to the body and adapted to abut against the vertical rail to be fitted with the sleeve portion to be attached to the vertical rail, wherein the abutting piece is provided with an abutting portion having a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface; and
an elastic piece, wherein two ends of the elastic piece respectively abut against the abutting piece and the body to push the abutting piece to abut against the vertical rail,
wherein the rotation piece comprises an abutting buckle fitted with the abutting portion to drive the abutting piece away from the vertical rail through rotation, the abutting buckle is provided with a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm, the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm respectively abut against the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface when the rotation piece is located at a first rotation position, and the abutting piece is driven by the elastic piece to abut against the vertical rail when the rotation piece is located at the first rotation position.

2. The vertical rail slider according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation piece further comprises a rotation base, the rotation base is provided with a toggle portion and a transition portion, the transition portion is rotatably connected to the body and is provided with an abutting buckle installation groove, the abutting buckle is provided with a clamping portion suitable for being inserted into and fitted with the abutting buckle installation groove, and the toggle portion is adapted to receive a force to drive the rotation piece to rotate relative to the body.

3. The vertical rail slider according to claim 2 , wherein the body is provided with a sliding buckle extending along the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis in the radial direction of the vertical rail, the abutting piece is provided with a clamping slot, the sliding buckle is configured to be suitable for being inserted into the clamping slot and clamped to and fitted with the abutting piece, and the abutting piece is configured to be adapted to slide in an extending direction of the sliding buckle and is limited by the sliding buckle to prevent the abutting piece from being detached from the body.

4. A mobile showerhead holder, comprising the vertical rail slider according to claim 3 and a showerhead bracket, wherein the showerhead bracket is fixedly connected to the body of the vertical rail slider.

5. The vertical rail slider according to claim 3 , wherein the abutting piece comprises an abutting base and an abutting block, the abutting base is slidably connected to the body, is provided with the clamping slot, and two ends of the abutting base in a direction of the rotation axis are provided with the abutting portion, and the abutting block is fixedly connected to the abutting base and is configured to be adapted to abut against the vertical rail.

6. A mobile showerhead holder, comprising the vertical rail slider according to claim 5 and a showerhead bracket, wherein the showerhead bracket is fixedly connected to the body of the vertical rail slider.

7. The vertical rail slider according to claim 5 , wherein the body comprises an inner frame, a fixed frame, and an outer casing, the inner frame is fixedly connected to the outer casing and is rotatably connected to the rotation piece, the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the inner frame and is provided with the sliding buckle, and the outer casing is provided with the sleeve portion.

8. A mobile showerhead holder, comprising the vertical rail slider according to claim 7 and a showerhead bracket, wherein the showerhead bracket is fixedly connected to the body of the vertical rail slider.

9. The vertical rail slider according to claim 7 , wherein the rotation piece is provided with two transition portions in the extending direction of the rotation axis, and the two transition portions are rotatably connected to two ends of the inner frame respectively and are located at two ends of the outer casing respectively.

10. A mobile showerhead holder, comprising the vertical rail slider according to claim 9 and a showerhead bracket, wherein the showerhead bracket is fixedly connected to the body of the vertical rail slider.

11. A mobile showerhead holder, comprising the vertical rail slider according to claim 2 and a showerhead bracket, wherein the showerhead bracket is fixedly connected to the body of the vertical rail slider.

12. A mobile showerhead holder, comprising the vertical rail slider according to claim 1 and a showerhead bracket, wherein the showerhead bracket is fixedly connected to the body of the vertical rail slider.
