Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom chair latch for latching a bathroom chair.

  In general, bathroom chairs used in the bathroom, placed on the floor of the washroom, and a part that gets in the way when the bathroom chair is not used or is installed on the back or floor of the bathroom chair Is a cause of slime and mold, especially soft material is used near the lower end of the peripheral wall of the bathroom chair to prevent scratches on the floor surface. Moreover, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove.

  Then, the storage apparatus which hooks and stores the surrounding wall part of the chair for bathrooms conventionally is known (for example, refer patent document 1).

  However, the storage device found in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which an opening is provided in a wall surface, and the storage device is embedded in the opening. Because of the protruding structure, it is necessary to consider interference between the studs, and there is a problem that the degree of freedom of the mounting position is small. Furthermore, the size and shape of bathroom chairs have been various for the past several years, and in recent years, the seats have become higher and larger, so in the storage device of Patent Document 1, the large bathroom chair is stable. There was a problem that could not be caught.

  As another conventional example, there is known a structure (for example, see Patent Document 2) in which a locking tool protrudes forward from a wall surface below a bathroom counter and a bathroom chair is suspended and held there. In this structure, the shape of the bathroom chair suspended from the locking tool is limited, and it can be used only for a specially-shaped bathroom chair, and cannot be used for a commercially available bathroom chair.

For this reason, conventionally, there has been nothing that can easily and stably store a commercially available bathroom chair in an inexpensive manner.

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to stably hang a bathroom chair with a single touch, and to deal with most commercially available bathroom chairs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bathroom chair latch that can accommodate a bathroom chair inexpensively and simply.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a bathroom chair latch for latching a bathroom chair 2 and has a vertically long recess 4 fixed to a bathroom wall 3 and opened in the bathroom. A tool base 5 and a hook hook 6 which can be taken out from the recess 4 of the hook base 5 and whose front end can be hooked on the bathroom chair 2 are provided, and the recess 4 of the hook base 5 is provided. The lower end side is in contact with the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 that hangs downward in a state where the hook 6 is hooked in the existing drain hole 2b opened in the center of the seat portion 2a of the bathroom chair 2. The contact portion 5a is provided.

  With this configuration, when the bathroom chair 2 is not used, the latch hook 6 is taken out of the recess 4 and the drain hole 2b of the bathroom chair 2 is formed at the tip of the latch hook 6. Can be hooked. At this time, the peripheral wall 2c of the bathroom chair 2 hanging downward is brought into contact with the contact portion 5a of the latch base 5 so that the bathroom chair 2 can be stably latched with one touch.

  Further, an angle adjustment holding means 20 is provided which can freely adjust the take-out angle θ of the hook hook 6 and can hold the hook hook 6 at the adjusted take-out angles θ1, θ2,. In this case, the take-off angles θ1, θ2,... Of the latch hook 6 can be adjusted and held in accordance with the size and shape of the bathroom chair 2, so that the bathroom chair 2 of various sizes and shapes can be maintained. Sufficient support for stable latching is also possible.

  The bathroom chair latching device according to the present invention can be stably latched on a bathroom chair with one touch and can be applied to most commercially available bathroom chairs. The effect which can accommodate a chair is produced.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a side sectional view for explaining a use state of a bathroom chair latch 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an external view.

  The bathroom chair latch 1 includes a latch base 5 fixed to the bathroom wall 3, a latch hook 6 that is removably stored in the latch base 5, and the latch hook 6 that has been taken out. A hook hook support bar 7 is provided to support from below.

  The latch base 5 is formed in a vertically long plate shape with a recess 4 provided in the center, and can be attached to a wall surface with a screw. The lower end side of the recessed portion 4 is a vertically long contact with which the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 that hangs downward comes into contact with the front end of the latch hook 6 in the drain hole 2b of the bathroom chair 2. It is part 5a.

  A latch hook 6 is removably accommodated in the recess 4 of the latch base 5. An upper end portion of the latch hook 6 is rotatably supported by the latch base 5, and a hook portion 6 a is provided at a tip portion of the latch hook 6. The hook 6a has a shape and a size that can be hooked in the drain hole 2b of the seat 2a of the bathroom chair 2 that is commercially available. The hook 6a of this example is L-shaped so that the bathroom chair 2 can be stably hooked. As a material for the hook 6, a stainless pipe, a resin material or other materials can be used.

  One end of the latch hook support bar 7 is pivotally supported by the latch hook 6, and the other end is latched in a latch groove 10 provided in the latch base 5, so that the latch hook 6 is supported from below, and the latch hook 6 is held by the latch hook support bar 7 at a predetermined take-off angle θ.

  The bathroom chair 2 has a generally box shape with an open bottom surface that is generally commercially available. An example is shown in FIG. 6A shows a box-type chair, and FIG. 6B shows a round chair. In either case, a square or circular drain hole 2b is opened at the center of the seat 2a. The drain hole 2b is a hole having a size that allows a finger to enter at least and does not feel uncomfortable. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, the periphery of the drain hole 2b has a rounded shape 2d. The height of the peripheral wall portion 2c is generally about 180 mm to 350 mm.

  When the bathroom chair 2 is not used, the latch hook 6 is taken out from the recess 4 and supported by the latch hook support bar 7 from below. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), an existing drain hole 2b opened in the center of the seat 2a of the bathroom chair 2 is formed in the hook 6a of the latch hook 6 from below. When the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 is hung downward in the inserted state, the hook portion 6a is caught in the water draining hole 2b just as it is downward (the state shown in FIG. 3C). At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 hanging downward is brought into contact with the contact portion 5a provided at the lower end of the latch base 5, thereby stabilizing the bathroom chair 2. It becomes possible to hang up in a hanging state. At this time, since the contact portion 5a is vertically long, it can sufficiently cope with the bathroom chair 2 having different height dimensions. Therefore, it is not necessary to select the size and shape of a general bathroom chair 2 that is commercially available, and yet the bathroom chair latch 1 that can store the bathroom chair 2 at a low cost can be obtained. Moreover, since the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 can be hooked downward, the drainability is good and it is not necessary to place it on the floor surface of the washing place. Can be prevented, can be kept clean, and is hygienic. In addition, the bathroom chair 2 is suspended with the seat portion 2a facing upward and the peripheral wall portion 2b facing downward, so that the back surface of the dirty bathroom chair 2 and the lower end of the peripheral wall portion 2c do not stand out, and are conventional. As a result, it is possible to improve the cleaning workability and hygiene while maintaining the aesthetic appearance in the bathroom.

  Further, when the bathroom chair latch 1 is not used, the latch hook 6 can be stored in the recess 4 of the latch base 5, so that the latch hook 6 does not jump forward, only the appearance. It is also excellent in safety.

  Moreover, since the latch base 5 of this example has a vertically long and narrow and compact size, it has an advantage that it can be attached to any part of the bathroom wall with a good appearance, such as a wall of a washing place or a wall on a bathtub. There is also.

  Here, it is preferable to provide angle adjustment holding means 20 for making it possible to freely adjust the take-off angle θ of the hook hook 6 and holding the hook hook 6 at the adjusted take-out angles θ1, θ2,. An example is shown in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the latching grooves 10 of the latch base 5 are provided at a plurality of upper and lower locations (two locations in this example), and one end of the latch hook support bar 7 can be freely rotated by the latch hook 6. And the other end of the hook hook support bar 7 is locked in any one of the locking grooves 10. By selecting an arbitrary locking groove 10, the locking tool The hook 6 can be changed to any take-off angle θ1, θ2, and the hook hook 6 can be stably supported from below by the hook hook support bar 7 at any take-off angle θ1, θ2. . Other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment of FIG.

  Therefore, when the size of the bathroom chair 2 is large, the latch hook 6 is set to a large take-off angle θ2, and when the size of the bathroom chair 2 is small, the latch hook 6 is set to a small take-out angle θ1. In addition, in any case of the angles θ1 and θ2, it can be supported by the latch hook support bar 7 and the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 is stabilized by using the vertically long contact portion 5a of the latch base 5. Since it can support, it can fully respond to the stable latching of the chair 2 for bathrooms from which a magnitude | size differs.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the angle adjustment holding means 20 is configured by the hook hook support bar 7 and the plurality of locking structures 10, but as another example, the recess 4 of the hook base 5 is shown in FIG. The support metal fitting 20 as the angle adjustment holding means shown may be attached. The latch hook 6 of this example is composed of, for example, a flexible U-shaped stainless steel pipe, and the distal ends of the pipe members 6b and 6c are inserted into the inside of the support metal fitting 20 through the inside thereof so as to be rotatable. The connecting portions at the base ends of the pipe members 6b and 6c are hook portions 6a. The pipe members 6b and 6c are always urged in the opening direction. On the other hand, a plurality of left and right (two left and right in this example) locking grooves 21 and 22 are provided in the opening of the support metal fitting 20 in the vertical direction. When stopped, the take-off angle of the latch hook 6 is θ1, and when the latch hook 6 is further locked in the left and right locking grooves 22, the take-off angle of the latch hook 6 is Becomes θ2 (> θ1), and in any case, the hook 6 is securely fitted into the locking groove 21 or 22 by its elastic force, and is stably held at that angle.

  Therefore, in this example, when the bathroom chair 2 having a small size is suspended, the pipe members 6b and 6c of the latch hook 6 are locked in the locking groove 21 as shown in FIG. When the bathroom chair 2 that can be held at θ1 and has a large size is suspended, the pipe material 6b, 6c of the hook 6 is locked in the locking groove 22 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the hook 6 can be stably held by the locking groove 21 or 22 at any of the take-out angles θ1 and θ2. Accordingly, the same effects as the embodiment of FIG. 4 (the take-off angles θ1 and θ2 of the latch hook 6 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the bathroom chair 2 and held at that angle, and the latch Since the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2 can be stably supported by using the vertically long contact portion 5a of the base 5, it is possible to sufficiently support the stable latching of the bathroom chair 2 of various sizes and shapes. Further, when the bathroom chair latch 1 is not used, the latch hook 6 can be accommodated in the recess 4 as shown in FIG. 5C. In addition, in this example, it is used in FIG. The hook hook support bar 7 and the locking groove 10 are not necessary. In other words, since the latch hook 6 can be supported by the support fitting 20 without using the latch hook support bar 7, there is also an advantage that the configuration of the latch base 5 can be simplified.

  As another example of FIG. 5, it is possible to omit the hook base 5 and use the support fitting 20 as the angle adjustment holding means directly attached to the bathroom wall 3. In this case, the wall surface of the bathroom wall 3 below the support fitting 20 may be used to support the peripheral wall portion 2c of the bathroom chair 2, and a convex member as a contact portion may be provided on the wall surface. It can also be attached separately.
