Description

  The present invention is an accessory holder that can be placed around a washroom or desk to place or store a small accessory, and sometimes attach it to a tree branch in the garden to feed wild birds. It is about.

  Conventionally, a razor, hand mirror, soap, cosmetics, and the like are desired on a container or a plate near a towel rack in a bathroom. In addition, for example, it would be desirable to have a bird feeder that can be installed on a garden, a tree branch, a veranda, a balcony, etc. to invite wild birds and enjoy birdwatching. Conventional bird feeding tools for enjoying birdwatching are generally installed and fixed at a predetermined place, or simply suspended from branches and the like. Some of them are also used as birdhouses, and the state inside them is difficult to understand. In addition, a semi-transparent mirror is provided on the plate with a window frame that receives the bait stand that has a fixing means outside the window so that the bird can feel the person inside the window so that it can be observed closer to the window.

However, installation locations and installation angles of conventional accessory holders and bird feeders are limited.
However, the hand mirror is particularly intended to change the installation angle each time it is used. In addition, bird feeders for enjoying birdwatching are installed and fixed in place and cannot be easily attached or removed, and many of them have inclined branches. When installed, the horizontal state cannot be maintained. On the other hand, the conventional nest box-shaped one surrounded by the surroundings cannot be observed because the bird's figure and movement cannot be seen. Furthermore, what provided the semi-transparent mirror in the board with a window frame which receives the said feeding stand had the problem that a structure was complicated and cost was high, and also the fixing to a window became easy to be incomplete.
Accordingly, it is desired that the accessory for the washroom is installed smartly around the narrow washstand, and is attached / detached whenever necessary, and in particular, the angle of the hand mirror is changed every time it is used. Moreover, as for the small bird feeder, the shape of the branch at the tip of the garden to be installed is inclined, so even in this case, the surface of the feeder stand is always kept in a horizontal state and can be fixed anywhere and fixed easily. Many people have asked for a cheaper one that can be moved and removed.

Prior to the present invention, the applicant developed and applied for a patent for a bird feeder that could be easily attached and detached and at a low cost. The angles of the branches were often very complex and different, and the problem was that it was difficult to keep the angle of the bait tray always horizontal. In addition, I came up with an idea to improve such a horizontal support table because not only bird feeders but also similar containers and dishes can be widely used in daily life.
In addition to solving these problems, we are trying to meet the demands of many markets.

  That is, it is to provide a small accessory holder that can be easily fixed and fixed by being easily attached / detached and moved, while maintaining a horizontal state at any angle and at any tilt angle.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the accessory holder of the present invention is connected to an object receiving portion formed in a required size and shape capable of accommodating or placing an article and a bottom outer wall of the object receiving portion. By providing a thin columnar connecting member having plasticity, and holding the receiving portion connected through the connecting member in an arbitrary state, and a holding device that can be detachably installed at a required installation location. is there.

  Then, the receiving member is formed in a flat plate shape or a dish shape, and the holding device connected via the connecting member is an X-type clothespin clip.

  Then, the receiving member is formed in a flat plate shape or a dish shape, and an object to be accommodated or an object to be accommodated or an accommodation means is provided on the upper surface of the plane plate or the dish.

  The receiving member may be a container formed in a cup shape or a bowl shape, and a container formed in a detachable cup shape with a lid or a detachable lid shape.

  Further, it is preferable to provide a projection material or a high friction material on at least a part of the inside of the holding portion of the holding device to the mounted material.

  Alternatively, the holding device may be an inverted U-shaped holding tool formed of an elastic body or an annular holding tool with a part cut away.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is an accessory holder that can easily be attached, detached, or moved anywhere with any inclination angle with a simple structure, and can always keep a horizontal state.
Moreover, it can also be used as a feeding tool for a small bird that can be held and installed in a horizontal state on a veranda or an inclined branch of a standing tree in the garden, and can be easily moved and fixed. As a result, you can enjoy birdwatching at the most suitable place.

  Then, the receiving member is formed in a flat plate shape or a dish shape, and the holding device connected via the connecting member is an X-shaped clothespin-like clip, so that it can be easily attached and detached by simply grasping the knob.・ Because it can be moved, it can be used as an accessory storage or decoration table installed at an arbitrary angle and at an arbitrary angle.

  The receiving member is formed in a flat plate shape or a dish shape, and a pin of a required size is provided at the center of the flat plate or the plate as a means for fixing or receiving the object to be accommodated or installed on the upper surface of the flat plate or the plate. By installing it vertically, it can also be used as a candlestick or a small bird's bait, and it can fix bait such as apples and mandarin oranges. Not only is it easy for birds to feed, but they can be surely eaten until there are no more edible parts.

  And, by attaching a container or the like formed in a cup shape or a bowl shape on the receiving plate or the like of the receiving member, or a container in which the receiving member itself is directly formed in a cup shape or a bowl shape, and a removable lid It is possible to use a container formed in a cup shape or a detachable lid-shaped container, as a small article storage tool, and to provide food and water for a small bird.

  Furthermore, by providing a projection material or a high-friction material on at least a part of the inside of the holding portion of the holding device to the mounted material, the holding device can be reliably fixed at the place where it is installed. Therefore, even if the contents are placed unevenly or stored, or even if the small bird stays at one place on the edge, it does not move and stabilizes.

  Alternatively, the holding device may be an inverted U-shaped holding tool formed of an elastic body or an annular holding tool with a part cut away, so that the whole is lightweight and compact, and the mounting work is inserted into the opening. It can be mounted with a single touch and can be made cheaper.
