Conventionally, a clamping tool has been proposed in which an object to be clamped is inserted between two flexible plate portions provided so as to be inclined from both sides of the substrate portion toward each other (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-143841 A

  The holding tool disclosed in Patent Document 1 can easily hold a cloth body such as a towel or a cloth, but it is difficult to hold a rod body such as a handle of a handle brush.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, The main objective is that the holding hole and the slit are formed, and it is set as the structure provided with the holding part which uses an elastic body, and an attachment part. An object of the present invention is to provide a holder that can be easily inserted and held by a rod body and attached to another object.

  Another object of the present invention is to prevent the suction cup from detaching from the holding portion by adopting a configuration in which the suction cup is locked in the locking hole of the suction cup locking plate bonded to the holding portion. It is to provide a holding tool.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide a holder capable of hooking a cloth body, a string body, or the like on a hook portion by having a structure for hooking an article on the hook portion.

  A holder according to a first aspect of the present invention is a holder including a holding portion in which a holding hole for holding an article is formed, and an attachment portion for attaching the holding portion to another object. The portion is made of an elastic body and penetrates from the surface of the holding portion to the inner surface of the holding hole along the axial length direction of the holding hole in order to insert the article into the holding hole from the outside of the holding portion. A slit is formed.

  In the holder according to the second aspect of the present invention, the attachment portion is formed with a suction cup that is detachably attached to the other object, and a locking hole in which the suction cup is locked. And a suction cup locking plate bonded thereto.

  A holder according to a third aspect of the invention is characterized by including a latching portion for latching an article.

  In the first invention, the holding portion is made of, for example, an elastic body made of sponge or synthetic rubber, and a holding hole for holding the article is provided through the elastic body. Further, in order to insert an article to be held (specifically, a rod body like a handle with a handle with a handle) from the outside of the holding portion into the holding hole, along the axial length direction of the holding hole, A slit penetrating from the surface to the inner surface of the holding hole is formed.

The user inserts the rod into the holding hole so as to push the rod into the slit, and arranges the rod inside the holding hole. By inserting the rod body into the slit, the holding portion using the elastic body is easily deformed, the slit is automatically opened, and the rod body is easily passed. For this reason, it is easy to insert the rod body into the holding hole.
In addition, the rod body is held by the holding portion by the elastic restoring force that the holding portion that has been spread out returns to its original shape.
Conversely, by pulling out the rod body from the slit, the rod body held in the holding hole can be easily taken out.

  Furthermore, an attachment part such as a suction cup, an adhesive tape or the like is provided, and by using this attachment part to attach the holding part to another object such as a wall surface or a pillar, the holding part for holding the article is a wall surface, It is attached to a pillar.

In the second invention, since the suction cup of the attachment portion is detachably adsorbed to other objects, it is appropriately attached and detached from a place desired by the user.
Moreover, in order to suppress that the holding | maintenance part attached to another object and by extension, a holding | maintenance tool fall off, when a suction cup detaches | leaves from a holding | maintenance part, an attachment part has a suction cup locking plate.
The suction cup is locked in a locking hole formed in the suction cup locking plate, and one surface of the suction cup locking plate is bonded to the holding portion. For this reason, for example, the suction cup is attached to the holding section more firmly than when the suction cup is directly attached to the holding section.

  In the third invention, articles such as a cloth body, a string body, and a ring body are easily hooked on the hooking portion.

  In the case of the holder of the first invention, it can be easily held by inserting an article such as a handle with a handle into the holding hole, and the held article can be attached to an external object such as a wall surface or a column. Can be attached. Furthermore, the held article can be easily taken out.

  In the case of the holder of the second invention, the holder can be attached to and detached from another object, and the holder itself can be prevented from falling off from the other object.

  In the case of the holder of the third invention, various articles can be hooked on the hook portion, so that not only the rod body but also the cloth body, the string body, the ring body and the like can be easily held.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof.

  1, 2, and 3 are a front view, a rear view, and a plan view showing a holder 1 according to the present invention, respectively, and FIG. 4 shows that the holder 1 holds a handle 51 of a brush 5 with a handle. It is a perspective view which shows the state which exists. Here, FIG. 3 is also a plan view for explaining attachment of the handle 51 of the handle brush 5 to the holder 1.

In order to improve the design, the holder 1 has a shape imitating a flower as a whole. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a portion corresponding to a flower is the holder 2, and the flower 1 The slit 24 of the holding part 2 is arranged on the front side of the part, the attachment part 3 is arranged on the back side, and the latching parts 4 and 4 are provided on the parts corresponding to the stems and leaves.
Below, let the flower part be the upper side, and let the stem and leaf part be the lower side.

The holding unit 2 includes a surface layer 21 and a base layer 22.
Each of the surface layer 21 and the base layer 22 is a sponge-like elastic body that is arranged substantially vertically and has a substantially flower shape with five petals radially in both front view and rear view. The surface layer 21 is bonded to the front surface of the base layer 22 that is thick and fine.
However, the surface layer 21 is formed with a substantially circular hole in the central portion, and the design is further improved by exposing the base layer 22 through the hole.

  Further, in order to hold an article (specifically, a rod like the handle 51 of the brush 5 with the handle shown in FIG. 4, the handle 51 is exemplified below) A holding hole 23 penetrating the central portion of the base layer 22 is formed from the upper end surface to the lower end surface of the layer 22 (see FIG. 3). The holding hole 23 has a cylindrical shape in the present embodiment, but is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, a prismatic shape.

  Further, in order to insert the handle 51 into the holding hole 23, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the holding hole 23 extends from the surface layer 21 along the axial length direction (that is, the vertical direction) from one end to the other end of the holding hole 23. A slit 24 penetrating to the inner surface of 23 is formed. The formation position of the slit 24 is the center position of the base layer 22 in the left-right direction, that is, the position where the flower shape is divided into right and left, and is formed on one side of the holding part 2.

The user pushes the handle 51 into the slit 24 in the direction of the white arrow in FIG. At this time, the holding portion 2 that is an elastic body is easily deformed, and the slit 24 automatically opens to the left and right to allow the handle 51 to easily pass through. Therefore, the handle 51 is easily inserted into the holding hole 23.
When the handle 51 is inserted into the holding hole 23, the elastic restoring force of the holding portion 2 acts, and the deformed holding portion 2 is restored to its original shape. At this time, the slit 24 is closed, and the handle 51 inserted into the holding hole 23 is held in the holding hole 23 as shown in FIG. As a result, the handle brush 5 is held by the holder 1.

If the slit 24 is not formed, the user can move the handle 51 upward from, for example, the lower end opening of the holding hole 23 in order to attach the handle brush 5 to the holder 1 as shown in FIG. It is necessary to plug in, and it is inconvenient.
That is, since the slit 24 is formed in the holding portion 2 using an elastic body, the handle 51 is inserted in the axial length direction of the holding hole 23 and the slit 24 is not manually opened, so that the handle can be touched with one touch. 51 can be held.

Further, the user pulls out the handle 51 from the slit 24. At this time, the holding portion 2 is deformed again, and the slit 24 automatically opens to the left and right to allow the handle 51 to easily pass through. Therefore, the handle 51 is easily taken out from the holding hole 23.
Also in this case, the handle 51 can be taken out with one touch without pulling out the handle 51 from the axial length direction of the holding hole 23 or manually opening the slit 24.

By the way, for example, when the outer diameter of the handle 51 is larger than the inner diameter of the holding hole 23, the elastic restoring force acting on the handle 51 that tries to spread the holding hole 23 mainly holds the handle 51.
When the outer diameter of the handle 51 is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the holding hole 23, the friction force between the outer peripheral surface of the handle 51 and the inner peripheral surface of the holding hole 23 holds the handle 51.
Furthermore, when the outer diameter of the upper end portion of the handle 51 is larger than the outer diameter of the center portion of the handle 51, the center portion of the handle 51 is inserted into the holding hole 23, so that the upper end surface of the base layer 22 has the handle 51. The upper end is locked and the handle 51 is held.

A cloth body such as the towel 6 may be held in the holding hole 23. The towel 6 is securely held in the holding hole 23 because the frictional force between itself and the base layer 22 that is a sponge is large.
Further, the article may be inserted into the slit 24 instead of the holding hole 23 and the article may be held by the elastic restoring force of the holding unit 2 or the frictional force between the left and right inner surfaces of the slit 24 and the article.

2 and 3, the holder 1 (more specifically, the holding portion 2) is placed on another object (in FIG. 3) on the back surface of the base layer 22, that is, on the other side of the holding portion 2. A mounting part 3 is provided for attachment to the wall W).
The attachment portion 3 includes a suction cup 31 and a suction cup locking plate 32.
The suction cup 31 is made of a soft synthetic resin, and the suction part 31a of the suction cup 31 is directed to the wall W side and is pressed against the wall W in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The holder 1 is attached to the wall W.

The protruding portion 31b of the suction cup 31 shown in FIG. 2 protrudes from the back surface of the suction surface of the suction portion 31a, and has a cylindrical shape with a large outer diameter at the distal end and a small outer diameter at the proximal end.
Here, if only the projecting portion 31b of the suction cup 31 is bonded to the back surface of the base layer 22, since the bonding area is small, the suction cup 31 and the base layer 22 are easily separated, and the holder 1 is attached to the wall. Drop off from W. In order to prevent such a problem, in the present embodiment, a suction cup locking plate 32 for firmly attaching the suction cup 31 to the base layer 22 is used.

The suction cup locking plate 32 is a circular thin plate made of hard synthetic resin, and one surface is bonded to the back surface of the base layer 22. Compared to the adhesion area, the adhesion area between the suction cup locking plate 32 and the base layer 22 is large, and separation of the suction cup locking plate 32 and the base layer 22 is suppressed.
A small circular locking hole 33 on the upper side and a large circular insertion hole 34 on the lower side are connected to each other at the center of the suction cup locking plate 32. The locking hole 33 has an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the proximal end portion of the protruding portion 31b of the suction cup 31, and the insertion hole 34 has an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the distal end portion of the protruding portion 31b of the suction cup 31. .

An operator of the holder 1 inserts the protruding portion 31 b of the suction cup 31 into the insertion hole 34 of the suction cup locking plate 32 bonded to the base layer 22, while bending a part of the back surface of the base layer 22. The base end portion of the protruding portion 31 b of the suction cup 31 is pushed into the locking hole 33. The suction cup 31 is engaged with the locking hole 33 by the tip of the protruding portion 31 b of the suction cup 31 being sandwiched between the base layer 22 and the suction cup locking plate 32 by the elastic restoring force of the base layer 22. Stopped.
That is, the suction cup 31 is firmly attached to the base layer 22 via the suction cup locking plate 32.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hooking portions 4, 4 are provided with an extending portion 41 corresponding to the above-mentioned plant stems in the vertical direction, and are inclined upward with respect to the extending portion 41. Thus, projecting portions 42 and 42 corresponding to the above-described flower leaves are arranged on the left and right of the extending portion 41.
The extending portion 41 and the projecting portions 42 and 42 are thin plate shapes made of hard synthetic resin, and are provided integrally with the suction cup locking plate 32.

The user places an article (a towel in FIGS. 1 and 2) on each latching portion 4 (that is, the protruding portion 42 or an L-shaped portion formed by the extending portion 41 and the protruding portion 42). 6) Hook.
Since the attachment portion 3 acts as a spacer between the back surface of the base layer 22 and the wall W, a space having an appropriate separation distance is provided (see FIG. 3). That is, a space is provided between the extended portion 41 and the protruding portions 42 and 42 and the wall W, and the towel 6 is hooked on the hook portion 4 using this space. If the extended portion 41 and the projecting portions 42 and 42 are in close contact with the wall W, it is difficult to hook the towel 6 on the hook portion 4.

The holder 1 as described above has a simple shape and easily holds the handle 51 of the brush 5 with handle, the towel 6 and the like.
Moreover, since the holder 1 is made of a sponge and a synthetic resin, it is lightweight, resistant to moisture, and easily dried. For this reason, you may attach not only to the wall W in a common room but to the wall W which gets wet easily like the side wall of the sink of a kitchen, the side wall of a bathtub, for example.

Furthermore, the lightweight holder 1 is prevented from falling off the wall W due to its own weight.
Furthermore, when the user performs the work of holding or taking out the article, even if the user's hand strongly contacts the surface layer 21 or the base layer 22, the user is prevented from feeling pain, High safety. And since the holding | maintenance part 2 deform | transforms easily, it is suppressed that the hold | maintained article | item is unnecessarily deformed or damaged.

  Moreover, since it is easy to form the holding hole 23, the slit 24, etc. in the sponge holding part 2, the manufacture of the holder 1 is simple. Furthermore, since it is easy to form each holding | maintenance part 2 in the shape with high designability, it is easy to improve the beauty | look of the holder 1 whole.

Furthermore, since the slit 24 and the attachment portion 3 are provided on one side portion and the other side portion of the holding portion 2, the holding and taking out of the handle 51 of the brush 5 with the handle and the holding tool 1 with respect to the wall W are provided. It is suppressed that attachment and each other interfere. Similarly, the holding portions 4 and 4 do not hinder the holding and taking out of the handle 51 of the brush 5 with handle.
