[0003]

The conventional towel rack has the following problems.
By forming the support shaft and the dish-shaped member as an integrally molded body of casting, a ring support portion having a good appearance is formed. In the ring support portion of this integrally molded body, the locking portion is machined from the inside on the inner surface of the dish-shaped member after molding. Such a conventional towel rack is inevitably expensive and expensive to manufacture. In addition, there is a drawback that a slight gap is likely to be formed between the end surface and the wall surface of the dish-shaped member fitted to the mounting member.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a towel rack that is easy to manufacture at low cost and has a good appearance.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of a towel rack according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a towel rack according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of an essential part showing its attached state, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a part III in FIG. This towel rack includes a thin plate member 2, a thick plate member 4, a support shaft 9, a ring 10, a mounting bracket 17, and a locking pin 20.
Have. The thin dish member 2 is made by press-molding a stainless steel plate having a thickness of about 0.3 to 1 mm, which is a thin metal plate for makeup. At the bottom of the thin plate member 2, a central hole 1
Has been drilled.

Next, the thick plate member 4 is, for example, 2 to 4 m.
It is made of a press-molded body of an aluminum plate of about m, and has a center hole 1 at the bottom. The center hole 1 and the center hole 1 of the thin plate member 2 are aligned with each other. Then, the outer circumference of the bottom portion is slightly raised in a cylindrical shape, and the outer circumference thereof is aligned with the inner circumference of the thin dish member 2. Further, an elongated rectangular hole 3 is formed on the outer periphery of the thick plate member 4. Next, the support shaft 9 has the large diameter portion 7
A small-diameter portion 5 is formed stepwise at the tip of the. The outer diameter of the small-diameter portion 5 is aligned with the center hole 1 of the thin dish member 2 and the thick dish member 4. The leading edge 21 of the large-diameter portion 7 is tapered. 180 ° on the outer circumference of the rear end of the large diameter portion 7.
A pair of ring fitting holes 8 are provided apart from each other.

Next, the ring 10 is formed in a substantially annular shape whose diameter is elastically expanded and contracted with a part cut away. That is, both end faces of the ring 10 face each other with the notch 22. Then, with the thick plate member 4 fitted in the thin plate member 2, the small diameter portions 5 of the support shafts 9 are inserted into the respective center holes 1, and the stepped surfaces thereof are abutted against the thin plate member 2. And the small diameter part 5
The tip of the plate is crimped, whereby the thick plate member 4, the thin plate member 2, and the support shaft 9 are integrated. At this time, the support shaft 9
Since the leading edge 21 of the large diameter portion 7 of is formed in a taper,
Even if a slight dent is formed in the center hole 1 of the thin dish member 2 by the tip edge 21, the dent is formed in the depth of the taper and is hardly visible from the outside. As a result, the large-diameter portion 7, the thin dish member 2, and the thick dish member 4 have the appearance of being integrated. Conversely, unless the leading edge 21 is tapered, the leading edge of the large-diameter portion 7 forms an annular dent on the outer periphery of the central hole 1 of the thin dish member 2 due to caulking, and It is considered to be a proof that the integrity with the thin plate member 2 is impaired, and impairs the high-class feeling as a towel rack.

After the large-diameter portion 7, the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 are integrated in this way, the rectangular holes 3 to 18 are formed.
A pin hole 18 is formed in the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 at a position separated by 0 °, and a female screw 19 is screwed therein.
Next, the mounting member 17 is made of a press-molded body of a substantially rectangular metal plate, and the leg portions 12 and 13 are erected on both ends of the flat portion 11. The leg portions 12 and 13 are each formed in an arcuate outer periphery, and a locking portion 14 is provided at the tip of one leg portion 12 so as to project outward in the longitudinal direction of the flat portion 11. The cross section of the locking portion 14 is a thick plate member 4
Of the rectangular hole 3 of FIG. A pin hole 15 is formed in the root of the other leg 13. Furthermore, the flat part of the mounting bracket 17
A pair of screw holes 16 are formed in the hole 11. In addition, the pin hole
The holes 15 and the screw holes 16 are formed by pressing before bending the legs. Then, the locking pin 20 is screwed into the female screw 19 of the pin hole 18 of the thick plate member 4. A conical portion 20a is formed at the tip of the locking pin 20.

[0010]

[Mounting Method] Next, a method of mounting such a towel rack on the wall surface will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 2, the mounting bracket 17
The flat portion 11 is brought into contact with the wall surface 25, and the fitting 17 is fixed to the wall surface 25 via the screw 6. Next, with the locking pin 20 screwed to the female screw 19 of the thick plate member 4 being moved outward in the radial direction, the rectangular hole 3 of the thick plate member 4 is attached to the locking portion 14 of the mounting bracket 17. Fit in. Next, the tip of the driver is fitted to the rear end surface of the locking pin 20, and the locking pin 20 is rotated to move the locking pin 20 to the center side of the thick plate member 4. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the conical portion 20a of the locking pin 20 is located inside the pin hole 15 in the leg portion 13a.
Touch the edge of the hole on the tip side. By further rotating the locking pin 20, only one edge of the leg portion 13 comes into contact with the larger diameter portion of the conical portion 20a. Then, the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 relatively move to the wall surface 25 side, and their tip surfaces surely contact the wall surface 25. As a result, there is no gap between the wall surface 25 and the thin plate member 2 or the thick plate member 4. Then, both ends of the ring 10 are fitted into the ring fitting holes 8 of the support shaft 9 to complete the attachment of the towel rack.

[0011]

According to the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the thick plate member 4 is provided with the rectangular hole 3 and the pin hole 18 having the female screw 19, which is fitted into the thin plate member 2. Since the small-diameter portion 5 of the support shaft 9 is inserted into the central hole 1 to caulk and fix the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4, the rectangular hole 3 does not appear to the outside, and the towel rack has a good appearance. . And the wall 25
With the mounting bracket 17 fixed to the
Since the engaging pin 14 is engaged with the engaging pin 20, the engaging pin 20 is screwed into the female screw 19 and the engaging pin 20 is engaged with the pin hole 15 of the mounting bracket 17, the towel is easy to attach and easy to manufacture. The rack can be provided at low cost.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the conical portion 20a is provided at the tip of the locking pin 20 and the tip of the conical portion 20a is inserted into the pin hole 15 of the mounting bracket 17. , The thin-walled dish member 2 and the thick-walled dish member 4 face each other on the wall surface 25 side as the locking pin 20 is deeply inserted into the pin hole 15 Since it is configured to move, it is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the thin plate member 2, the thick plate member 4 and the wall surface. According to the present invention as set forth in claim 3, since the tip edge 21 of the large diameter portion 7 of the support shaft 9 is formed in a truncated cone shape, when the tip of the small diameter portion 5 of the support shaft 9 is swaged, the tip edge 21 is formed. The ring-shaped dent on the surface of the thin dish member 2 due to is located inside the large-diameter portion 7 and is hidden, so that the towel rack has a good appearance and a high-class feel.
