Description

  The present invention relates to a holding holder suitable for holding, for example, a rod-shaped mop and a support structure thereof.

  This type of sandwiching holder is provided with two interdigital elastic members between a pair of left and right supports, and is configured to block between the two supports in a posture in which these two elastic members are butted together. is there. When a handle such as a mop is inserted between the two supports from below, the elastic member comes into strong contact with the handle, and the contact portion of the elastic member warps upward. As a result, a frictional holding force is generated at the contact portion between the handle and the elastic member, and the handle such as a mop can be held upright (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, in the said clamping type holder, since the space | interval between both support bodies is constant, a pattern thicker than at least the space | interval cannot be pinched. Further, the thinner and heavier the pattern such as a mop, the less the frictional holding force and the easier the pattern is to slip off. For this reason, for example, a clamp-type holder shown in FIG. 15 has been proposed. The holding holder includes two brackets 100A and 100B that are attached to a wall or the like in a pair of left and right sides, and a fixed type and a movable type that are supported by the left and right brackets 100A and 100B in a posture in which the holding surfaces 210 and 310 face each other. And the leaf spring 400 that constantly urges the movable clamping member 300 in the direction toward the fixed clamping member 200 (leftward). The fixed and movable clamping members 200 and 300 are made of a material having high elasticity and adhesion, such as rubber.

  Fixed and movable clamping members 200 and 300 are integrated in advance with the brackets 100A and 100B, respectively. When these brackets 100A and 100B are attached to the wall surface, the interval T between the clamping surfaces 210 and 310 of both clamping members 200 and 300 can be adjusted according to the thickness At and weight of the handle A such as a mop. When the brackets 100A and 100B are actually used by being attached to a wall surface or the like, the handle A may be inserted from below between the clamping surfaces 210 and 310 of the both clamping members 200 and 300. At this time, the movable clamping member 300 swings away from the fixed clamping member 300 against the elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 400 (clockwise direction around the support shaft 170), and both clamping surfaces An interval T between 210 and 310 is increased to a thickness At of the pattern A. Then, both clamping surfaces 210 and 310 come into strong contact with the left and right sides of the handle A, and a frictional holding force is generated at these contact portions, so that the handle A such as a mop is held in an upright posture.

  On the other hand, for example, when a pattern thicker than the thickness At is sandwiched, both brackets 100A and 100B may be attached so that the interval T between the both clamping surfaces 210 and 310 is larger than shown in the figure. On the contrary, when the handle is thin and heavy, the brackets 100A and 100B may be attached so that the interval T is reduced. As described above, the interval T between the both clamping surfaces 210 and 310 can be appropriately adjusted according to the thickness At of the handle A and the overall weight.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-80440

  However, in the above-described prior art, in order to correctly adjust the interval T between the both clamping surfaces 210 and 310, when the two brackets 100A and 100B are attached to a wall surface or the like, the handle A such as a mop to be clamped is both sandwiched surfaces. The brackets 100 </ b> A and 100 </ b> B must be attached at appropriate positions where the handle A can be securely sandwiched between 210 and 310. This complicates the mounting work of the brackets 100A and 100B. Of course, the brackets 100A and 100B may be attached while measuring the interval T between the both clamping surfaces 210 and 310. However, if the interval T is inappropriate, it is necessary to reattach the brackets 100A and 100B. It will be a hassle.

  The invention of the present application has been conceived under such circumstances, and it is intended to provide a holding holder that can easily perform an operation for adjusting the interval and an attaching operation and a support structure thereof. It is an issue.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

  The sandwiching holder provided by the present invention includes first and second sandwiching members whose sandwiching surfaces are opposed to each other, and sandwiching an article between both sandwiching surfaces of the first and second sandwiching members. The first and second clamping members are supported by a single bracket, and at least one of the first and second clamping members is configured to hold both the clamping surfaces with respect to the bracket. It is characterized in that it can be changed so that the interval between them can be changed.

  The first clamping member is supported in a stationary manner with respect to the bracket, while the second clamping member is predetermined with respect to the bracket so as to be close to and away from the first clamping member. The holding surface of the second holding member is convexly curved, and the contact portion of the holding surface with the article is always higher than the axis. It is preferable to adopt a configuration located in the position. The second clamping member is always elastically biased in a direction approaching the first clamping member. The first clamping member is replaceable with respect to the bracket so that the distance between the both clamping surfaces can be changed. The first clamping member includes a plurality of holes arranged in a direction in which the both clamping surfaces face each other, and the bracket is formed with a pin inserted through a selected one of the plurality of holes. It is preferable to adopt the configuration described above. Moreover, it is preferable that at least the clamping surface of the first and second clamping members is formed of an elastic material.

  According to the holding holder having the above-described configuration, the article can be held between the holding surfaces of the first and second holding members supported by the bracket before the bracket is attached to the wall surface or the like. At this time, for example, the interval between the both clamping surfaces can be appropriately adjusted by simply replacing the first clamping member with respect to the bracket. Thus, after finishing the adjustment work, the bracket integrated with the first and second clamping members can be easily attached to the wall surface or the like. Therefore, the work for adjusting the interval between the both clamping surfaces and the work for mounting the bracket can be easily performed separately.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  1 is a front perspective view of a holding holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the holding holder, FIG. 3 is a front view of the holding holder, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II of FIG.

  The sandwiching holder according to the present embodiment is a utility goods for sandwiching and holding a handle A such as a mop in an upright posture, and includes a bracket 10, first and second sandwiching members 20, 30, and second An elastic member such as a leaf spring 40 for urging the holding member 30 in one direction is provided.

  The bracket 10 is attached to a vertical wall surface or the like with the first and second sandwiching members 20 and 30 and the leaf spring 40 mounted thereon. The bracket 10 includes a flange portion 11 that is directly fixed facing a wall surface and the like, a screw hole 12 for screwing the flange portion 11 to the wall surface, the first and second clamping members 20 and 30, and a leaf spring 40. An opening 13 for attaching and detaching, and a left side cover 14 for holding the first clamping member 20 inside, and the opening 13. A right cover portion 15 that has a hollow rectangular shape that covers the right-hand side and protrudes forward, and holds the second clamping member 30 and the leaf spring 40 inside. Inside the left cover part 14, a pair of pins 16 for supporting the first clamping member 20 are formed in a pair of upper and lower sides. Further, a pin 17 for supporting the second holding member 30 and a pin 18 for holding the leaf spring 40 in an elastically bent state are formed inside the right cover portion 15. Yes.

  The opening 13 has a sufficient size to allow the first and second holding members 20 and 30 to be taken in and out in the thickness direction of the flange portion 11. The left cover portion 14 has an internal space that can accommodate and hold the first clamping member 20 in front of the rear surface 11A of the flange portion 11. Further, the right side surface of the left cover portion 14 is an opening surface, and one side surface (the clamping surface 21) of the first clamping member 20 is located on the right side of the opening surface. On the other hand, the right cover portion 15 has an internal space that can accommodate and hold the second holding member 30 and the leaf spring 40 on the front side of the rear surface 11A of the flange portion 11. Further, the left side surface of the right cover portion 15 is an opening surface, and one side surface (the clamping surface 31) of the second clamping member 30 is located on the left side of the opening surface. Each pin 16-18 is formed so that it may protrude in the thickness direction of the flange part 11 from front inner wall surface 14A, 15A of the cover parts 14 and 15 on either side, and the length of each pin 16-18 is the flange part 11. The back surface 11A is not reached.

  The first and second holding members 20 and 30 are for holding the handle A in a state where it is in strong contact with the left and right sides of the handle A, and are made of, for example, a rubber material rich in elasticity and adhesion. Yes. The first clamping member 20 is attached to the left cover part 14 and can be replaced with respect to the left cover part 14 so as to change the position in the left-right direction. The first clamping member 20 includes a plurality of pairs of holes 22 </ b> A to 22 </ b> C that are vertically paired so as to be able to be inserted into the clamping surface 21 facing the second clamping member 30 and the pin 16 inside the left cover portion 14. Have. The clamping surface 21 is formed in a concavo-convex shape so that the maximum static frictional force is as large as possible while in contact with the left side of the handle A. The holes 22 </ b> A to 22 </ b> C are provided so that a pair of upper and lower sides are arranged side by side at equal intervals t. In FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a pin is inserted in the intermediate hole 22 </ b> B so that the interval T between both the clamping surfaces 21, 31 of the first and second clamping members 20, 30 is optimized according to the thickness At of the handle A. 16 is inserted.

  The second clamping member 30 has a clamping surface 31 that faces the clamping surface 21 of the first clamping member 20. The clamping surface 31 is formed in a convex curve shape so that the maximum static frictional force is as large as possible in a state where it is in pressure contact with the right side of the handle A. Such a second clamping member 30 is supported by a pin 17 inside the right cover portion 15 and can swing around the pin 17. Further, the second clamping member 30 always receives a leftward elastic biasing force from the leaf spring 40. Therefore, in a state where the handle A is not sandwiched, the sandwiching surface 31 of the second sandwiching member 30 is closest to the sandwiching surface 21 of the first sandwiching member 20 in a posture that is largely inclined. On the other hand, when holding the handle A, the second holding member 30 swings clockwise against the elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 40 and the second holding member 21 has a second holding surface 21 with respect to the holding surface 21. The inclination of the clamping surface 31 of the clamping member 30 gradually decreases, and finally the clamping surface 31 of the first clamping member 20 is farthest away from the clamping surface 21 of the second clamping member 30. come. At this time, the interval between the both clamping surfaces 21 and 31 is larger than the interval T before the pattern A is held, and is about the thickness At of the pattern A.

  FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing a state in which the handle A is held between the holding surfaces 21 and 31. As shown in FIG. 5, the contact portion P of the handle A with respect to the clamping surface 31 of the second clamping member 30 is positioned higher than the pin 17 serving as the swing center of the second clamping member 30. An elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 40 acts on the contact portion P in a strong pressure. Further, on the left side of the handle A opposite to the contact site P, there is a contact site Q with the clamping surface 21 of the first clamping member 20 (in FIG. 5, for convenience, the intermediate position in the vertical direction of the clamping surface 21). A force having the same magnitude as the elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 40 also acts on the contact portion Q. As a result, the contact portions P and Q on the left and right sides of the handle A have sufficient frictional holding force to hold the entire article such as a mop including the handle A away from the floor or the like.

  The leaf spring 40 has a bent shape so as to always apply an elastic biasing force to the second clamping member 30. The leaf spring 40 is mounted inside the right cover portion 15 via the pin 18 so as not to be displaced. In a state where the handle A is sandwiched between both the clamping surfaces 21 and 31 of the first and second clamping members 20 and 30, the degree of bending (curvature) of the leaf spring 40 is greater than in the initial state. Therefore, the elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 40 increases and acts more strongly on the second clamping member 30. The second clamping member 30 and the leaf spring 40 are mounted in advance in the right cover portion 15 so as to be adjusted at the time of shipment so that the elastic biasing force is appropriate.

  Next, the operation of the clamping holder will be described.

  As described above, when the handle A having a thickness of about At is held between the holding holders, the interval between the holding surfaces 21 and 31 of the first and second holding members 20 and 30 is about T. Is appropriate. Therefore, the user may put the pin 16 into the intermediate hole 22B in the first clamping member 20 and attach the first clamping member 20 inside the left cover portion 14. After that, the user only needs to attach the bracket 11 to the wall surface or the like via a screw.

  In order to actually hold the handle A having the thickness At, it is inserted with the tip of the handle A facing upward from below between the holding surfaces 21 and 31. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the distance T between both the clamping surfaces 21 and 31 is expanded to the thickness At of the pattern A against the elasticity of the leaf spring 40, and both the left and right sides of the pattern A and both the clamping surfaces A frictional force is generated at contact portions Q and P with 21 and 31. Due to the weight of the handle A or the mop head attached below the handle A, the handle A receives the downward force of FIGS. 3 and 5 and tries to move downward. At this time, the second pinching member 30 tries to be rotated in the counterclockwise direction of FIGS. 3 and 5 while being dragged by the downward movement of the handle A. Since it is higher than the pivot point (pin 17) of the second clamping member 30, it tends to move to the first clamping member 20 side, and as a result, the friction generated at the contact parts P and Q. The force is further increased. That is, according to this clamping type holder, as long as the interval T between the both clamping surfaces 21 and 31 is appropriate, the entire article such as a mop including the handle A is held by the both clamping members 20 and 20 by the frictional holding force according to its weight. It is sandwiched between 30.

  On the other hand, when the handle B having a thickness Bt thinner than the thickness At is held between the holding holders, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. What is necessary is just to insert the pin 16 in the hole 22A of the left end in the clamping member 20. As a result, the first holding member 20 is held in the state of being biased to the right most with respect to the left cover portion 14, and the first and second holding members 20, 30 are in accordance with the thickness Bt of the handle B. The interval between both sandwiching surfaces 21 and 31 is an interval T0 (T−t) shorter than the interval T described above.

  Then, as a trial, the user inserts the handle B from below between the holding surfaces 21 and 31 while holding the holding holder by hand, and securely holds the entire article such as a mop including the handle B. Whether or not the interval T0 is appropriate can be confirmed in advance. In the case of an interval T0 appropriate for inserting the handle B smoothly and securely holding it, the bracket 11 may be attached to the wall surface as it is.

  On the other hand, for example, since the interval T0 is too narrow with respect to the thickness Bt of the handle B, the elastic biasing force of the leaf spring 40 is larger than expected, and it is difficult to insert the handle B smoothly if it is performed in advance. Sometimes it feels. In such a case, the first holding member 20 may be removed from the left cover portion 14 and the pin 16 may be reinserted from the left end hole 22A of the first holding member 20 into the intermediate hole 22B. After that, the user only needs to attach the bracket 11 to the wall surface or the like as long as the handle B is inserted and held well.

  Furthermore, when the handle C having a width Ct wider than the thickness At is held between the holding holders, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. What is necessary is just to insert the pin 16 in the hole 22C of the right end in the 1st clamping member 20. FIG. Then, the first holding member 20 is held in the leftmost position with respect to the left cover portion 14, and the first and second holding members 20, 30 are in accordance with the thickness Ct of the handle C. The interval between both sandwiching surfaces 21 and 31 is an interval T1 (T + t) larger than the interval T and T0 described above.

  Then, as a trial, the user inserts the handle C from below between the holding surfaces 21 and 31 while holding the holding holder by hand, and securely holds the entire article such as a mop including the handle C. Whether or not the interval T1 is appropriate can be confirmed in advance. In the case of an interval T1 suitable for inserting the handle C smoothly and securely holding it, the bracket 11 may be attached to the wall surface as it is.

  On the other hand, for example, the interval T1 is too wide with respect to the thickness Ct of the handle C, or the weight of the entire article such as a mop including the handle C is considerable, so that the elastic urging force of the leaf spring 40 is not sufficient. If it goes, the pattern C may slip from both the clamping surfaces 21 and 31 and may fall down. In such a case, the first holding member 20 may be removed from the left cover portion 14 and the pin 16 may be reinserted from the right end hole 22C of the first holding member 20 into the intermediate hole 22B. After that, the user only needs to attach the bracket 11 to the wall surface or the like as long as the pattern C is inserted or held well.

  Therefore, there are three positions for holding the first clamping member 20 with respect to the bracket 10 such as the left side, the middle, and the right side. Before attaching the bracket 10 to the wall surface or the like, It is possible to hold the first clamping member 20 as determined. Thus, after holding the first clamping member 20, the bracket 10 integrated with the first and second clamping members 20, 30 can be easily attached to a wall surface or the like.

  In addition, as an attachment form of the holding holder, a plurality of holding holders X may be mounted side by side on the horizontal frame Y1 of the stand Y as shown in FIG. For example, if a plurality of types of intervals between the first and second holding members in the plurality of holding holders X are set, cleaning tools having patterns with different thicknesses can be held together. Convenient.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of sandwiching holders X may be supported by a predetermined length of the horizontal frame Y2 so as to be appropriately slidable along the horizontal frame Y2. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the horizontal frame Y2 is preferably in the form of a C-shaped channel-shaped guide rail so as to hold the upper and lower edges of the bracket 11 of each holding holder X. Of course, the length of the horizontal frame Y2 is larger than the total length of the plurality of sandwiching holders X. Such a horizontal frame Y2 may be in the form of a stand as illustrated in FIG. 10, or may be fixed to a wall or the like. If it does in this way, according to the width of the head part of a cleaning tool such as a mop, the position of the holding holder X in the horizontal frame direction is adjusted so that they do not interfere with each other, and a plurality of cleaning tools can be conveniently used. Can be retained.

  This clamping holder can also be configured as shown in FIG. In the holding holder shown in the figure, the bracket 10 ′ has no opening and a left cover, and a pair of upper and lower pins 16 ′ protrude from the front surface 11 B ′ of the flange 11 ′. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment. According to such a holding holder, the first holding member 20 'can be easily attached to the pin 16' even when the bracket 10 'is attached to the wall surface or the like.

  This clamping holder can also be configured as shown in FIG. The clamping holder shown in the figure is a partial modification of the configuration shown in FIG. A plurality of holes 19A to 19C into which the rotation shaft 32 of the second holding member 30 '' can be fitted are arranged at predetermined positions on the right cover portion 15 '' and the flange portion 11 '' at equal intervals s. It is provided to line up. The interval s is shorter or longer than the interval between the plurality of holes provided in the first clamping member (corresponding to the interval t described above). The first clamping member, the leaf spring, and the like are not shown in the figure, but are the same as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment. According to such a holding type holder, the first holding member can be changed to any one of the left and right positions, and the rotation shaft 32 is also connected to the plurality of holes 19A for the second holding member 30 ''. It can be changed to any one of the left and right positions by fitting into any of -19C. And, depending on the spacing s of the holes 19A to 19C with respect to the spacing between the plurality of holes in the first clamping member, the spacing between both clamping surfaces can be changed to a maximum of 9 patterns. Finer adjustments can be made to be optimal according to the thickness of various patterns.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

  It suffices that at least one of the first and second clamping members is replaceable with respect to the bracket. For example, if the holding holder according to the third embodiment is taken as an example, the first holding member (not shown) may not be replaced with respect to the bracket.

  Of course, the spring that elastically biases the second clamping member is not limited to a leaf spring, and for example, a coil spring can also be used. Furthermore, the second clamping member may not be urged by a separate elastic member but may be elastically deformed itself so as to apply an elastic urging force to the handle.

  Each of the first and second clamping members may be a rubber material only on the clamping surface.
