In disaeembly, the base 40 is pushed upward so that the upper fastening portion 32 of the retaining member 30 removes from the upper locking portion 16 of the fixing member 10, and the sliding member 20 is actuated to slide upward to the upper dead center. In the meantime, a top end of the base 40 is pulled outward so that the biasing portion 32b of the upper fastening portion of the retaining member 30 disengages from the cutout 112 of the fixing member 10, and the base 40 is further moved downward and inward, hence the lower fastening portion 33 of the retaining member 30 disengages from the lower locking portion 23 of the sliding member 20, finishing the disassembling process.
With reference to Figs. 11 and 12, a wall mounting bath accessory assembly according to a second embodiment of the present invention is different from that of the first embodiment of as follows:
the fixing member 10 does not include the cutout 112 of the first embodiment as shown in Fig. 13, accordingly the upper locking portion 16 is close to the top end of the fixing member 10.
The limiting rim 113 of the fixing member 10 includes four slots 114 disposed thereon to resiliently retract and expand, and between the limiting rim 113 on an upper side of the fixing member 10 and top edges of two slots 114 on a left and a right sides of the limiting rim 113 of the fixing member 10 is defined a third hook 115 as illustrated in Fig. 16, and between the limiting rim 113 on a lower side of the fixing member 10 and the top edges of the two slots 114 on the left and the right sides of the limiting rim 113 of the fixing member 10 is defined another third hook 115.
A top end of the sliding member 20 is formed a flat surface, as shown in Fig. 14, to be the upper abutting portion 212.
The aperture 211 of the plate 21 of the sliding member 20 includes a raised periphery 213 connected with the projection 22 on the top end of the sliding member 20, and the raised periphery 213 includes a stepped border 214 arranged around an inner surface thereof such that the defining aperture 211 of the sliding member 20 is fitted to the limiting rim 113 by means of the limiting rims 113 of the fixing member 10, and the stepped border 214 engages with the third hooks 115 of the limiting rims 113 so that the sliding member 20 engages with the fixing member 10 securely.
A lower locking portion 23 of the sliding member 20 of the second embodiment does not include the first hook 231 of the lower locking portion 23 of the sliding member 20 of the first embodiment so that the lower fastening portion 33 of the retaining member 30 is engages and disengaged easily, and the lower locking portion 23 is structurally strong.
Due to the fixing member 10 does not include a cutout 112, the upper fastening portion 32 of the retaining member 30 is provided with the biasing ..................
portion 32b of the first embodiment, and the shoulder 322 is directly formed on an outer side of the L-shaped portion 32a. Likewise, because the upper abutting portion 212 on the top end of the sliding member 20 is formed the flat surface, a bottom end of the upper fastening portion 32 of the retaining member 30 is changed to a flatly extending plane without the beveled plane 321 of the first embodiment.
