  Fourth, the unit of the base 1 and the holder 4 has a weight that sinks so that the base 1 is in contact with the bottom surface of the bathtub 11 in the bathtub 11 filled with hot water, and the fixing means is hot water from the shower head 9 in the bathtub 11. It is a means for restricting the movement of the base 1 when squirting.

  According to the structure of the present invention configured as described above, the shower head can be fixed to the upper surface of the bathtub or the floor of the washing place by placing the shower head holder on the upper surface of the bathtub or the floor of the washing place. Can be installed arbitrarily so as to be movable. Even if hot water is jetted from the shower head by the fixing means, the base will not move from the installation position, so hot water should be jetted from the shower head installed on the upper surface of the bathtub or the floor of the washing area. There is an advantage that variations in the usage of shower can be increased.

  The holder is attached to the base so that it can swing up and down, and a swing positioning means for positioning the swing position of the holder is provided between the holder side and the base side, or the holder is pivotably attached to the base. By providing a swivel positioning means for positioning the swivel position of the holder between the holder side and the base side, the spray angle and spray direction of hot water and water can be adjusted, and variations in the usage of shower can be further improved. There is an effect that it can be increased.

  When the base and holder unit is provided in a bathtub filled with hot water and has a weight that sinks so that the base contacts the bottom of the bathtub, the fixing means is ejected from the shower head 9 in the bathtub 11. By using the means for restricting the movement of the base 1, the shower head can be set in the bathtub. Thereby, water and hot water can be spouted from the shower in the bathtub filled with hot water, and it can be used like a jet bath or a jacuzzi.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a showerhead holder A of the present invention. The shower head holder A includes a plate-like base plate 1. A non-slip rubber plate 2 is attached to the back surface of the base plate 1. A bracket 3 having a U-shaped cross section is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1 so as to be rotatable.

  A click mechanism (not shown) is provided between the bracket 3 and the base plate 1. The click mechanism turns the bracket 3 while being fixedly positioned with respect to the base plate 1 at a predetermined angle. The click mechanism is a turning positioning means for positioning the turning position of the holder 4. Since the click mechanism is conventionally known, details are omitted.

  Between the both side surfaces 3a and 3b of the bracket 3, there is provided a holder 4 for accommodating and holding a conventionally known shower head so that it can be inserted and removed. As shown in FIG. 2, the holder 4 is pivotally supported on both side surfaces 3 a and 3 b of the bracket 3 by a support shaft 7 that intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the insertion portion 6 into which the shower head is inserted. Has been.

  The support shaft 7 is inserted into the peripheral wall of the holder 4 from the outside of the bracket 3 and is screwed into the holder 4. A liner 8 is provided between the bracket 3 and the holder 4. The frictional force between the liner 8 and the bracket 3 and the holder 4 is adjusted according to the tightening of the support shaft 7. The holder 4 is normally positioned in the swinging direction with respect to the bracket 3 by the frictional force.

  The holder 4 swings with respect to the bracket 3 by applying a force exceeding the frictional force to the holder 4 in the direction of swinging the holder 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the frictional force is set to such an extent that the holder 4 does not swing when the shower head 9 is inserted into the holder 4. As described above, the swing positioning means for positioning the swing position of the holder 4 is configured.

  The shower head holder A can be placed at any place in the bathroom. The placement position can be arbitrarily selected by the user, but it is desirable that the placement position be placed on a surface having an angle that prevents the shower head holder A from slipping down. Usually, it is placed on a horizontal plane or a plane having an angle slightly inclined from the horizontal, for example, the upper surface of the bathtub 11 as shown in FIG.

  When the shower head holder A is mounted on an arbitrary place with the shower head 9 mounted, the hose 14 connected to the shower head 9 is bent extremely or the shower head holder A is lifted. It is desirable to position the holder 4 at a height that does not hinder the placement of the shower head holder A.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the base plate 1 has a square shape in a plan view of 105 × 105 mm, and has a compact size with an overall height of about 130 mm. The holder 4 is attached to a height at which the height of the pivot axis from the bottom surface of the base plate 1 is about 105 mm. In addition, when the shower head 9 is attached to the shower head holder A, a passing space through which the hose 14 passes can be formed on the base plate 1 side. Thereby, this shower head holder A can also be comprised more compactly.

  In this shower head holder A, the base plate 1, the bracket 3 and the holder 4 are made of metal. As shown in FIG. 4, when the shower head holder A is placed in the bathtub 11 filled with hot water, it sinks to the bottom surface of the bathtub 11. Has weight. Further, the rubber plate 2 can be attached to the holder 4 even if the shower head A is submerged in the bathtub 11 filled with hot water while the shower head 9 is attached to the holder 4 and hot water or water is ejected from the shower head 9. The friction coefficient is such that A does not float or move.

  Therefore, even if the shower head holder A is installed at any location in the bathroom, the shower head 9 is attached, and hot water or water is ejected from the shower head 9, the shower head holder A is installed stably. There is no such thing as moving with the momentum of water or hot water. The base plate 1, the bracket 3 and the weight of the unit of the holder 4 and the rubber plate 2 constitute fixing means for restricting the movement of the base 1 against the reaction force of the hot water.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a magnetic activation device 15 that activates a fluid by a conventionally known magnetism can be embedded in the holder 4. As shown in FIG. 5, by providing the magnetic active water device 15 so that the magnetic lines of force pass through the insertion portion 6 for inserting the shower head 9 in the holder 4, the magnetic head is ejected from the shower head 9 attached to the insertion portion 6. Hot water and water can be activated.

  The shower head holder A has the above-described structure. As shown in FIG. 4, the base plate 1 (the rubber plate 2 on the back surface) is in contact with the floor surface 13 of the bathroom 12, the upper surface of the bathtub 11, or the like. It can be mounted on. For example, by placing the shower head holder A on the floor surface 13 of the bathroom 12, shower hot water or water can be ejected from below toward the user. The body can be washed with hot water or water from below.
