Description

  The present invention relates to a bar-shaped hanger for holding a bar-shaped member such as a handle of a cleaning tool.

  An example of such a bar-shaped hanger is a hanger such as a cleaning tool described in Patent Document 1. FIG. 9 shows a schematic plan view of a hanger such as this cleaning tool. In FIG. 9, the lower part in the figure is the direction toward the floor. 9 includes a mounting plate 91, a pair of guide rods 92a and 92b, holding members 93a and 93b guided by the guide rods 92a and 92b, and a connection connecting the upper ends of the guide rods 92a and 92b. And 92c. In FIG. 9, the hanger X shows a state in which a rod-shaped handle 94 is held. In the hanger X, the holding members 93a and 93b are attached to the guide rods 92a and 92b extending from the vicinity of the lower end of the mounting plate 91, respectively. Each of the guide rods 92a and 92b is formed in a V shape such that the distance between the guide rods 92a and 92b decreases toward the lower side, and the upper ends thereof are connected by a connecting rod 92c. The central portion of the connecting rod 92c is depressed in the direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 9, and is formed in a U shape so that the handle 94 can be received.

  Each holding member 93a, 93b is formed in a rubber ball shape having appropriate elasticity. Each holding member 93a, 93b has a through hole. The through hole of the holding member 93a passes through the guide rod 92a, and the through hole of the holding member 93b passes through the guide rod 92b. For this reason, each holding member 93a, 93b can move independently along each guide rod 92a, 92b, respectively.

  When the handle 94 is fixed and held by such a hanger X, first, the holding members 93a and 93b are lifted to the vicinity of the upper ends of the guide rods 92a and 92b, respectively. Next, the handle 94 is sandwiched between the holding members 93a and 93b. At this time, the handle 94 can be pushed in until it comes into contact with the connecting rod 92c. Thereafter, when the holding members 93a and 93b are pushed down along the guide rods 92a and 92b, the intervals between the guide rods 92a and 92b become narrower downward. The interval is narrowed. For this reason, in the hanger X, the handle body 94 can be held by sandwiching the handle body 94 between the holding members 93a and 93b, which are pushed down below the guide rods 92a and 92b and the distance between them is reduced. . That is, the handle 94 is pressed against the connecting rod 92c by the elasticity of the rubber ball-shaped holding members 93a and 93b, and the movement is restricted. Furthermore, the vertical movement of the handle body 94 is restricted by the friction between the handle body 94 and the holding members 93a and 93b.

  However, in such a hanger X, since each holding member 93a, 93b can move individually, as shown in FIG. 9, the height position in the up-down direction of each holding member 93a, 93b has shifted | deviated. There was a case. If the height positions of the holding members 93a and 93b are different, the force with which the holding members 93a and 93b press the handle 94 is weakened, the handle 94 is inclined, or the handle 94 is detached from the hanger X. It even happened. In particular, when the mounting plate 91 of the hanger X is attached to a carriage for carrying a cleaning tool or the like, if the carriage vibrates due to unevenness of the floor surface, the cleaning tool or the like may fall off the hanger X. I was in trouble. Further, even when slippery liquid or the like adheres to the handle body 94, the friction between the holding members 93a and 93b and the handle body 94 hardly acts, and the handle body 94 is easily detached. For this reason, a means capable of holding the rod-shaped member more reliably has been demanded.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-69968

  The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hanger for a rod-shaped member that can hold the rod-shaped member more stably.

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

  The rod-shaped member hanger according to the present invention includes a pair of guide rods each extending generally in the vertical direction and having an increased distance from each other upward, and a guide member guided by these guide rods and capable of moving up and down. The holding member includes a pair of left and right clamping portions fitted to the guide rods, and a belt portion connecting the clamping portions, and the clamping portions and the belt portions. And a rod-shaped member can be held.

  According to such a configuration, when the rod-shaped member is applied to the belt portion and the rod-shaped member is pulled down as it is, the entire holding member is lowered by the frictional force between the rod-shaped member and the belt portion. Move to. At this time, since the distance between the pair of guide rods becomes narrower as it goes down, the distance between the pair of left and right holding parts is gradually narrowed, and at the same time, the belt part holds the rod-shaped member. Deform. In this way, the rod-like member is firmly held so as to be held by the holding portions and the belt portion. In addition, since each of the clamping portions is connected by the belt portion, the vertical position of each of the clamping portions is not shifted when the holding member moves along the guide rods. The member can be securely held. Furthermore, since the rod-shaped member is held by the clamping portions and the belt portion, the contact area between the rod-shaped member and the holding member is widened, and the frictional force therebetween is increased and held. The above rod-shaped member does not easily fall off.

  In a preferred embodiment, the pair of left and right holding parts has a vertical through-hole through which each guide rod is inserted and has a cylindrical shape having a predetermined vertical length. At least the surface portion and the belt portion are integrally formed of an elastic member. Furthermore, the elastic member is desirably a member having a large surface friction coefficient, and for example, natural rubber or synthetic rubber, or elastomer can be employed. Since the rod-shaped member can be held by the surface made of an elastic member from each clamping portion to the belt portion, the holding force of the rod-shaped member is further increased.

  In a preferred embodiment, the belt portion has a vertical width equivalent to the vertical dimension of each clamping portion. Further, the belt portion is curved concavely toward the front surface even when the holding member is at the uppermost position in the vertical movement range. According to such a configuration, the rod-shaped member can be easily applied to the belt portion, and operability is improved.

  In a preferred embodiment, the up-down direction through-hole in each of the clamping portions has a hard inner peripheral surface that is easy to slide with respect to each of the guide rods. According to such a structure, each said clamping part can move to an up-down direction more freely, and the operation | work which attaches and removes the said rod-shaped member to the said holding member becomes easier.

  In a preferred embodiment, the guide rods are curved so that an opening angle between the guide rods in a front view increases toward the upper side. According to such a structure, the proximity | contact amount between each clamping part with respect to the moving amount | distance of the up-down direction of the said holding member becomes so small that it goes below each said guide rod. This means that the pinching force of the bar-like member by the pinching portions with respect to the force that pushes down the bar-like member downward increases toward the lower side of the guide rod. Thereby, the said rod-shaped member can be hold | maintained with a bigger clamping force with a small operation force.

  In a preferred embodiment, the belt portion has a long hole extending along the longitudinal direction thereof. According to such a configuration, the belt portion is more easily deformed, the holding member can be easily moved up and down along the guide rod, and the belt portion is in close contact with the rod-like member, thereby ensuring more certainty. It becomes possible to hold the rod-shaped member.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a hanger A for holding a cleaning tool or the like as an embodiment of a hanger for a rod-shaped member according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the hanger A is fixed to the wall W, and the cleaning tool B is suspended and held. The hanger A includes a mounting plate 1, a pair of guide rods 2 a and 2 b, and a holding member 3, and holds the handle 4 of the cleaning tool B. That is, the hanger 1 according to this embodiment is configured to hold the handle 4 of the cleaning tool B as an example of a rod-shaped member. 2 is a plan view showing a state before the handle 4 is fixed to the hanger A. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a hanger A in FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view as seen from the right side of FIG. 2. However, in FIG. 4, a part is a cross-sectional view for the sake of explanation. 6 is a plan view showing a state in which the handle 4 is fixed to the hanger A, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VII-VII in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a diagram of the hanger A in FIG. 6 is a side view seen from the right side of FIG. Also in FIG. 8, as in FIG. 4, a part is a sectional view.

  The mounting plate 1 is a substantially rectangular plate made of polypropylene having a surface facing the handle 4 as a front surface and a surface closely contacting the wall W as a back surface, and having a certain thickness between the front surface and the back surface. The mounting plate 1 includes three screw holes 1 a that open on the surface of the mounting plate 1 with the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 being the depth direction. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one screw hole 1 a is arranged near the lower end of the center of the mounting plate 1, and one screw hole 1 a is arranged on the lower left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 3, the screw 7 passes through between the deepest part of the screw hole 1 a and the back surface of the mounting plate 1, and further bites into the wall W, thereby fixing the mounting plate 1 to the wall W.

  As shown in FIG. 2, each guide rod 2a, 2b has a symmetrical shape, is inclined so that the distance between the guide rods 2a and 2b increases from the bottom to the top, and is curved so as to narrow the distance. Is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the guide rods 2 a and 2 b are partially extended in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 1 at the upper end and the lower end, and the terminal portions are bonded to the mounting plate 1. ing. Each guide rod 2a, 2b is formed of, for example, hard nylon.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the holding member 3 includes a pair of left and right clamping portions 3a and 3b and a belt portion 3c. As shown in FIG. 4, a through hole 5 extending in the vertical direction is formed in the holding portion 3 a, and a hard cylindrical member 6 is inserted into the through hole 5. A guide rod 2a is inserted inside the cylindrical member 6, and the clamping portion 3a is movable up and down along the guide rod 2a. The sandwiching part 3b also has the same structure as the sandwiching part 3a, and can move up and down along the guide rod 2b. The belt portion 3c connects the holding portions 3a and 3b, and as shown in FIG. 3, it has a belt shape connecting the holding portions 3a and 3b. In addition, a long hole 3d extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt portion 3c is formed in the central portion of the belt portion 3c. The belt portion 3c has an attachment plate 1 side, that is, an upper surface in FIG. 3 that is substantially parallel to the attachment plate 1 and has a central portion that slightly protrudes toward the attachment plate 1. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the belt portion 3c facing the handle 4 is a concave curved surface with the middle between the sandwiching portions 3a and 3b, so that the handle 4 can be easily received. It is configured. The holding member 3 is preferably made of rubber having a large coefficient of friction and high elasticity such as chloroprene rubber. Since each guide rod 2a, 2b is bent, each guide rod 2a, 2b is attached to each guide rod 2a, 2b with the cylindrical member 6 not being fitted in the through hole 5. The rods 2a and 2b are preferably passed through the through hole 5. Thereafter, the holding member 3 may be moved to the linear portions along the vertical direction of the guide rods 2 a and 2 b, and then the cylindrical member 6 may be fitted into the through hole 5.

  The cylindrical member 6 is preferably formed of a material that can reduce friction with the guide rods 2a and 2b. For example, polypropylene is preferably used. Moreover, the inner peripheral diameter of the cylindrical member 6 is a dimension which can surround each guide rod 2a, 2b with a fixed space | interval. A convex portion 6 a is formed on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical member 6, and a concave portion 5 a that fits the convex portion 6 a is formed on the inner peripheral side of the through hole 5. It is fixed inside the through hole 5. Thus, in order to fit the cylindrical member 6 provided with the convex part 6a in the through-hole 5, the cylindrical member 6 is divided into two parts as shown in FIG. That is, the cylindrical member 6 is divided into a left portion 6b and a right portion 6c in FIG. 5, and the left portion 6b is configured such that the upper end arc is smaller than the lower end arc. The right part 6c is reversed. When fitting into the through hole 5, the right part 6 c is inserted from above the through hole 5, and the left part 6 b is inserted from below the through hole 5. In this way, even if the outer periphery of the convex portion 6 a is larger than the inner periphery of the through hole 5, the tubular member 6 can be suitably fitted into the through hole 5.

  Next, the operation of the hanger A configured as described above will be described.

  In order to fix the cleaning tool B to the hanger A, first, the holding member 3 is lifted up to the vicinity of the upper ends of the guide rods 2a and 2b as shown in FIG. Next, the handle 4 of the cleaning tool B is pressed against the surface of the belt portion 3c opposite to the direction facing the mounting plate 1, and the handle 4 is pulled down as it is. Then, due to the frictional force between the handle 4 and the holding member 3, the holding member 3 moves together with the handle 4 along the guide rods 2a and 2b. When the holding member 3 moves downward along the guide rods 2a and 2b, the interval between the holding portions 3a and 3b is narrowed, and finally the state shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the holding member 3 is moved near the lower ends of the guide rods 2a and 2b, and the handle 4 in FIG. 8 is closer to the mounting plate 1 than the position in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the belt portion 3 c is deformed so as to cover the outer periphery of the handle 4, and the sandwiching portions 3 a and 3 b are also in contact with the handle 4. Is being carried. For this reason, the area where the holding member 3 and the handle 4 are in contact with each other increases, and the friction between the two increases. Furthermore, since the handle 4 is tightened by the elasticity of the holding member 3, the handle 4 is not easily detached from the holding member 3. As described above, the handle 4 of the cleaning tool B is pressed against the belt portion 3c of the hanger A, and the handle 4 is pushed down toward the mounting plate 1 while the handle 4 is simply lowered downward. The cleaning tool B can be suspended stably.

  When removing the cleaning tool B suspended from the hanger A by the above method from the hanger A, it is only necessary to push the handle 4 upward. When the handle 4 is pushed up by friction acting between the holding member 3 and the handle 4, the holding member 3 is also pushed upward along the guide rods 2a and 2b. As shown in FIG. 3, the holding member 3 has a strip shape substantially parallel to the mounting plate 1 in the vicinity of the upper ends of the guide rods 2 a and 2 b and does not hold the handle 4, so that the handle 4 can be easily pulled apart. It is.

  In the hanger A, the holding member 3 has the guide rods 2a, 2b inserted through the holding portions 3a, 3b, but the holding portions 3a, 3b and the belt portion 3c are integrally formed. The positions in the height direction of 3a and 3b do not shift. For this reason, the holding member 3 can hold the handle 4 reliably. Further, since the guide rods 2a and 2b are curved as shown in FIG. 2, when the guide rods 2a and 2b are moved downward along the guide rods 2a and 2b, the interval between the holding portions 3a and 3b is likely to be narrower. Become. That is, when the holding portions 3a and 3b move downward along the curved guide rods 2a and 2b, the holding force between the holding portions 3a and 3b with respect to the amount of movement in the vertical direction tends to increase. For this reason, it becomes easy to hold the handle 4 more firmly by the holding member 3. Further, the belt portion 3c that connects the sandwiching portions 3a and 3b is more easily deformed because the elongated hole 3d is formed. Therefore, it is not necessary to apply an extra force when moving the holding portions 3a and 3b up and down. In addition, when holding the handle 4, the belt portion 3 c is more closely attached to the handle, and this also increases the holding force for the handle 4 and holds the handle 4 more securely. Can do.

  In the hanger A, since the distance between the guide rods 2a and 2b becomes wider upward, the guide rods 2a and 2b are inclined with respect to the cylindrical member 6, and the upper end and lower end of the cylindrical member 6 are inclined. The guide rods 2a and 2b come into contact with each other and are caught. For this reason, when the holding member 3 is raised to the vicinity of the upper ends of the guide rods 2a and 2b as shown in FIG. 2, the holding member 3 is not naturally lowered by gravity. Therefore, when fixing the cleaning tool B, it is not necessary to hold it by hand so that the holding member 3 does not slide down.

  The thickness of the handle 4 that can be held by the hanger A is in the following range due to the structure of the hanger A. That is, the cross-sectional circumferential length of the handle 4 is longer than the inner peripheral length of the belt portion 3 c at the lower end position of the holding member 3, and the diameter of the handle 4 is the length of the belt portion 3 c at the upper end position of the holding member 3. If it is shorter than this, it can be held by the hanger A. For this reason, the hanger A can hold the handle 4 having a relatively wide range of thickness. For example, the same hanger A can be used to hold the handle 4 having a diameter of 16 to 26 mm.

  As described above, the hanger A can handle a wide variety of patterns, can be easily hung and removed from the pattern, and has a structure in which the pattern body 4 is held by the holding member 3, so that the pattern body 4 can be removed. It has become difficult. In the above embodiment, the case where the hanger A is attached to the wall W is shown. However, for example, the hanger A may be installed on a carriage for carrying a cleaning tool or the like. When a cleaning tool or the like is placed on such a carriage and transferred, the cleaning tool B is shaken by vibration, but if it is hung by the hanger A, it is difficult to come off and can be transferred comfortably. For example, even when a slippery liquid or the like adheres to the handle 4, the handle 4 is elastically held by the holding portions 3a, 3b and the belt portion 3c, so that the handle 4 is attached to the hanger A. It can be held firmly. Moreover, since the cylindrical member 6 is divided | segmented, the hanger A has a structure which is easy to assemble.

  The hanger for rod-shaped members according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the number of screw holes 1a in the mounting plate 1 of the hanger A may be any number as long as the mounting plate 1 can be fixed sufficiently stably, and screws 7 may be used as means for mounting the mounting plate 1 to a wall or the like. You may use methods other than using. Further, the same effect can be obtained by reducing the thickness of the belt portion 3c or reducing the hardness of the belt portion 3c instead of forming the long hole 3d in the belt portion 3c.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where the handle | pattern body of a cleaning tool is supported is shown, also when holding a general rod-shaped member, it is in the scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention is also effective when a rod-shaped product such as a fishing rod is displayed at a store.
