The shelf 1 in this example has a shallow box shape, and is a latch formed by forming notches with an opening at the lower part at appropriate positions on the rear end surface 2 facing the wall surface W (in this example, two places spaced at right and left as appropriate). Part 3 is formed. A storage space 4 into which an engaging portion 11 of a bracket 10 described later is inserted is provided inside the locking portion 3. In addition, when installing the shelf 1 in the environment using water, such as a bathroom, as shown to FIG. 4 (A), it is desirable to form the opening or slit 1b for drainage in the appropriate place of the bottom part 1a.

  The bracket 10 fixed to the wall surface W is provided with an engaging portion 11 for engaging the engaging portion 3 of the shelf 1 at the upper portion, and a hanging portion 12 provided so as to extend downward from the engaging portion 11. At the lower end, a hook portion 13 protruding forward of the wall surface W is formed. The bracket 10 may be made of an appropriate material having a required strength, such as metal, plastic, ceramic, or wood.

  In this example, the engaging portion 11 of the bracket 10 is constituted by a disc-like support portion 11a fixed to the wall surface W and a flange portion 11b formed so as to project around the support portion 11a. As shown in FIG. 4A, by fixing the support portion 11a to the wall surface W, an insertion space S is formed between the flange portion 11b and the wall surface W. Therefore, in this example, the support portion 11 a also serves as a fixing portion of the bracket 10. The means for fixing the support portion 11a to the wall surface W is not particularly limited. For example, a method of screwing a screw penetrating the support portion 11a from the front side of the bracket 10 into the wall surface W, a method using an adhesive, and the wall surface W are made of metal. A method using a magnet is conceivable.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the diameter of the support portion 11a is set slightly smaller than the width of the notch provided in the locking portion 3 of the shelf 1, and the width of the flange portion 11b is set to be the locking portion 3. It is set larger than the width dimension of the notch.

  In order to attach the shelf 1 configured as described above to the wall surface W with the bracket 10, first, the brackets 10 and 10 are fixed to the shelf attachment position on the wall surface W by appropriate means with a predetermined interval left and right. Next, the locking portion 3 of the shelf 1 is inserted into the insertion space S between the bracket 10 and the wall surface W, and the support portion 11a is fitted into the notch. As a result, the locking portion 3 of the shelf 1 is sandwiched between the wall surface W and the flange portion 11b of the bracket 10, and the engaging portion 11 of the bracket 10 is stored in the storage space 4 of the shelf 1, so that the shelf 1 Is stably mounted on the wall surface W.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the hook portion 13 of the bracket 10 is positioned below the shelf 1, and the hook portion 13 can be used as a hanger for hooking small items. Therefore, if the structure of the latching part 3 is made common, an arbitrary shelf 1 can be attached to the wall surface W using the bracket 10 and at the same time a hanger function can be imparted. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a product with a small hanger as desired without changing the structure of the shelf 1 itself. In addition, it is possible to respond to a demand for using only a small hanger without using a bracket.

  In addition, about the form of the hook part 13, in this example, as shown to FIG. 4 (A) (B), in the state which attached the bracket 10 to the wall surface W, the front end side becomes a moderate uphill with respect to a horizontal direction. Although it was set as the inclination piece, it is not limited to this. As another example, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), a form having a two-step inclination, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), curved in a J shape, as shown in FIG. 5 (C). As shown in FIG. 4D, a substantially horizontal form, a form in which a horizontally extended tip is bent at a right angle, and an upright part is provided may be considered.

  In each of the above examples, the hook portion 13 is formed from the lower end of the hanging portion 12, but it is also difficult to form the hook portion 13 from a position slightly above the lower end instead of the lower end of the hanging portion 12. Absent. Furthermore, the aspect which connects the some hook part 13 up and down or left and right is also possible.

[Second Embodiment]
The present invention can be applied to a towel rack 20 as shown in FIG. 6 in addition to a shelf. The towel rack 20 has a structure in which the towel bar 22 is held between the left and right holders 21 and 21, and the bracket 10 is used as means for attaching the holders 21 and 21 to the wall surface.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, by attaching the towel rack 20 to the wall surface using the bracket 10 provided with the hook portion 13, the structure of the towel rack 20 itself is not changed, and small items can be provided as desired. It is possible to add a hanger function.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 7 shows a different embodiment of the bracket according to the present invention. In the bracket 10 of this example, as shown in FIG. 1A, for example, engaging portions 11 and 11 that engage with respective locking portions provided on the rear end surface 2 of the shelf 1 apart from each other are connected by a connecting piece 15. And integrated. Construction of the bracket 10 having such a configuration is easy because the interval between the engaging portions 11 and 11 is defined.

  In the present example, one hook portion 14 of the bracket 10 is configured to extend outward in the left-right direction along the wall surface. According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the shelf 1 is attached, one hook portion 14 projects to the side of the shelf 1. Accordingly, it becomes easy to hook small items, and the direction in which the left and right hooks 13 and 14 are hooked is different, so that the effect of alleviating interference between the small items is exhibited.

[Fourth Embodiment]
FIG. 8 shows a different embodiment of the locking portion 3 provided in the housing equipment such as the shelf 1. This example is the same in that a notch that opens downward is formed as the latching portion 3 of the rear end surface 2 of the shelf 1. A feature is that the width is set to be narrower than the width of 11a and a slit 3b or the like is provided at an appropriate position of the locking portion 3 so that the locking portion 3 can be elastically expanded.

  To attach the shelf 1, as shown in FIG. 8A, the locking portion 3 is inserted into the insertion space from above the bracket 10 fixed to the wall surface. At this time, the notch opening 3a of the locking portion 3 has a narrower opening than the width dimension of the support portion 11a, but is formed with a slit 3b for elastic deformation. 3a, 3a is elastically expanded, and eventually the support portion 11a is forcibly fitted into the notch as shown in FIG.

  According to the mounting structure of the present example in which the locking portion 3 is configured as described above, since the openings 3a and 3a of the locking portion 3 interfere with the support portion 11a when the shelf 1 is mounted on the bracket 10, the shelf The effect of preventing 1 from falling off the bracket 10 is exhibited.

[Fifth Embodiment]

The shelf 30 of this example includes a plate-like placement portion 31 for placing an article and an attachment portion 32 provided so as to hang from the rear end portion. A locking portion 35 is formed at an appropriate position of the mounting portion 32. The locking portion 35 includes a notch 33 used for mounting on the bracket 10 to be described later and a recess 34 positioned above the cutout 33. The notch 33 is open at the bottom, and its width dimension is set to be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the width dimension of the bracket 10.

  The bracket 10 of this example is manufactured by a member having required elasticity and strength such as metal or plastic. The upper engaging portion 16 includes a receiving portion 16a that slightly protrudes forward to form an insertion space S between itself and a wall surface, and a pressing portion 16b that is formed by bending the upper portion of the receiving portion 16a to the wall surface side. The depth dimension of the insertion space S is set substantially equal to the thickness dimension of the attachment portion 32 in the shelf 30. The bracket 10 of this example is fixed to a wall surface with a screw 17 or the like at a hanging portion 12 formed so as to extend downward from the engaging portion 16. Therefore, in this example, the drooping portion 12 also serves as a fixing portion. Further, a hook portion 13 that curves in a J shape is provided at the lower end of the hanging portion 12.

In order to attach the shelf 30 to the wall surface with the bracket 10, first, the brackets 10 and 10 are fixed to the shelf mounting position on the wall surface with a predetermined interval left and right. Next, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), after the alignment so that the notch 33 of the shelf 30 and the engaging portion 16 of the bracket 10 match, the mounting portion 32 of the shelf 30 is moved from above the bracket 10. It inserts in the insertion space S between a wall surface and the receiving part 16a. At this time, the receiving portion 16a and the pressing portion 16b of the bracket 10 are elastically deformed.
Eventually, the upper end of the notch 33 of the shelf 30 reaches the lower end of the receiving portion 16 a of the bracket 10, and a part of the hanging portion 12 of the bracket 10 is fitted into the notch 33 of the shelf 30. At this time, the receiving portion 16 a of the bracket 10 holds the upper portion of the notch 33 in the mounting portion 32 of the shelf 30. Further, the presser portion 16 b of the bracket 10 is fitted into the concave portion 34 of the shelf mounting portion 32. As a result, a mounting structure of the shelf 30 that is not displaced in the left-right direction and is difficult to drop off from the bracket 10 is obtained.
