The lower bracket 20 and the upper bracket 21 each have a bar shape, the slide bar 10 is attached to one end, and the other end is fixed to the wall panel 92. The lower bracket 20 and the upper bracket 21 have a shape that decreases in width from the wall panel 92 side toward the slide bar 10 in plan view. The slide bar 10 has one end portion of the lower bracket 20 and the upper bracket 21 attached to the lower portion and the upper portion, respectively. One end of the lower bracket 20 and the upper bracket 21 may be attached. In the following description, the configuration of the upper bracket 21 will be mainly described. However, the lower bracket 20 may be configured in a vertically symmetrical manner similar to the upper bracket 21, and therefore the description is omitted for the sake of brevity.

  The upper bracket 21 has an axial length dimension from one end to the other end that is larger than that of the lower bracket 20. As described above, the slide bar 10 is curved so that the axis is convex on the wall panel 92 side, and the length of the upper bracket 21 is larger than that of the lower bracket 20. It is attached so that it may become a position away from wall panel 92. For this reason, the hook 30 slidably held by the slide bar 10 is closer to the user facing the front of the shower device 100 when positioned on the upper end side than when positioned on the lower end side of the slide bar 10. become.

  FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of the upper bracket 21, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the upper bracket 21 with the cover body 50 removed. The upper bracket 21 includes an upper bracket body 40 and a cover body 50 that covers the upper bracket body 40. The upper bracket body 40 has one end 41 attached to the upper portion of the slide bar 10 and the other end 42 fixed to the wall panel 92.

  The upper bracket body 40 has an elongated box shape that opens upward, and is provided with a flange 43 at the other end 42 that faces the wall panel 92 and has a threaded hole 43a. The upper bracket body 40 is provided such that side plates 44 extending from both side portions of the flange 43 to the one end portion 41 rise from both side portions of the bottom plate 45. The bottom plate 45 has a shape that decreases in width from the other end 42 side toward the one end 41 side in plan view. The side plate 44 is curved and connected in an arc shape on the one end 41 side. The bottom plate 45 has an opening hole 45b on the one end 41 side, and the slide bar 10 is inserted into the opening hole 45b.

  The upper side 44 a of the side plate 44 is inclined downward from the other end portion 42 toward the one end portion 41. The bottom plate 45 is inclined downward from the other end portion 42 toward the one end portion 41, and the lower surface 45 a of the bottom plate 45 is also inclined downward from the other end portion 42 toward the one end portion 41.

  The side plate 44 is provided with guide ribs 46 protruding from the outer surface. The guide rib 46 extends from the other end 42 toward the midway toward the one end 41. The upper surface of the guide rib 46 is a guide surface 46 a that guides the cover body 50. The guide surface 46a is formed facing upward. The guide surface 46a is slightly inclined downward from the other end 42 toward the one end 41. The inclination angle of the guide surface 46 a is smaller than the inclination angle in which the upper side 44 a of the side plate 44 is inclined downward as it goes from the other end 42 to the one end 41. The side plate 44 is provided with a rectangular locking hole 47 on the outer surface below the guide rib 46 near the other end 42.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the cover body 50 as viewed from the lower surface side, and FIG. 6 is a side view of the cover body 50. The cover body 50 has a top plate 55 that covers the upper portion of the upper bracket body 40 and side plates 54 that fall from both sides of the top plate 55. The top plate 55 has a shape that decreases in width from the other end 52 side toward the one end 51 side in plan view. The side plate 54 is curved and connected in an arc shape on the one end 51 side. The cover body 50 has an inverted U-shaped cross section orthogonal to the direction from the other end 52 side toward the one end 51 side, and the other end 52 side is open.

  The upper side of the side plate 54 is inclined downward from the other end 52 toward the one end 51. Further, the top plate 55 is inclined downward from the other end portion 52 toward the one end portion 51, and the upper surface 55 a of the top plate 55 is also inclined downward toward the one end portion 51 from the other end portion 52.

The guided rib 56 is a guided surface 56 a that is guided by the guide surface 46 a of the upper bracket body 40 on the lower surface. The guided surface 56a is formed facing downward. The guided surface 56 a is slightly inclined downward from the other end 52 toward the one end 51. The inclination angle of the guided surface 56 a is smaller than the inclination angle at which the upper surface 55 a of the top plate 55 is inclined downward as it goes from the other end portion 52 to the one end portion 51. The side plate 54 is provided with a rectangular projection 57 on the inner surface below the guided rib 56 near the other end 52. The protrusion 57 fits into the locking hole 47 of the upper bracket body 40.

  7 is a perspective view as seen from the upper surface side of the hook 30, FIG. 8 is a perspective view as seen from the lower surface side of the hook 30, and FIG. 9 is a side view of the hook 30. The hook 30 has a base end portion 31 that fits into the slide bar 10, a tip end portion 32 that holds the shower head 81, and a bent portion 33 that is bent between the base end portion 31 and the tip end portion 32. The hook 30 extends from the base end portion 31 to the side of the slide bar 10 and has a rod shape as a whole from the base end portion 31 to the tip end portion 32. The bent portion 33 is in the vicinity of the center between the base end portion 31 and the distal end portion 32 in the rod-like hook 30 and is bent in the axial direction of the slide bar 10.

  The base end portion 31 of the hook 30 has a fitting hole 31a penetrating vertically, and the slide bar 10 is inserted and fitted into the fitting hole 31a. The hook 30 is held by the slide bar 10 by a lock mechanism provided inside the base end portion 31, and can be slid by releasing the lock. The hook 30 has an operation part 34 for operating the lock mechanism on the lower surface side. The hook 30 is slidable by releasing the lock on the slide bar 10 by an operation of pushing the operation unit 34 upward from below, and is held by the slide bar 10 by releasing the operation of pushing the operation unit 34. The operation unit 34 is urged downward from above by a spring or the like. When the operation of pushing upward from below is released, the operation unit 34 returns to the original position, and the hook 30 is held by the slide bar 10.

  The locking mechanism provided at the base end portion 31 of the hook 30 includes, for example, a pressing member that presses the slide bar 10 inside the base end portion 31, and the pressing member is linked to the upward movement of the operation portion 34. The lock may be released by moving backward in the direction away from the lock. Such a locking mechanism can be configured in the same manner as the mechanisms disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-009568) and Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-022384).

  The tip portion 32 of the hook 30 has a grip portion 32a and a latch portion 32b. The grip portion 32a is U-shaped when viewed from the top and bottom, and the tip end side of the hook 30 is open. The hook 32b is C-shaped when viewed from the top and bottom, and the tip end side of the hook 30 is open. The latching portion 32b is supported so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis orthogonal to the axial direction of the rod-shaped hook 30 inside the gripping portion 32a. The inner diameter of the latching portion 32b has a tapered shape that is large on the upper side and smaller on the lower side. The shower head 81 has a truncated cone shape in which a connecting end portion to the hose 82 is reduced in diameter on the hose 82 side, and is inserted into and engaged with the engaging portion 32b from above.

  The width of the opening of the hook 32b on the tip side of the hook 30 is larger than the diameter of the hose 82 and smaller than the diameter of the end of the shower head 81 connected to the hose 82. For this reason, the shower head 81 can be pulled out from the hook 30 by pulling upward from the latching portion 32 b, passing through the opening on the tip end side of the hook 30 of the latching portion 32 b at the hose 82 portion.

  The hooking portion 32b is rotatably supported inside the U-shaped gripping portion 32a as described above, but is combined so as to be movable and held within a limited rotation range. . For example, the latching portion 32b and the gripping portion 32a have gear tooth-like meshing portions that mesh with each other, and bias one meshing portion to be pressed against the other. When the latching portion 32b is rotated, the one meshing portion is retracted against the urging force so that the meshing is released and the meshing portion 32b is rotated. Such a mechanism is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

  The bent portion 33 is provided in the middle portion between the proximal end portion 31 and the distal end portion 32. As shown in FIG. 9, the axis L1 on the base end portion 31 side and the axis L2 on the tip end portion 32 side of the hook 30 intersect each other, and the rod-shaped hook 30 is bent at the bending portion 33 in the direction of the axis L3. Is bent. For this reason, the hook 30 has a convex shape on the upper surface side and a concave shape on the lower surface side.

  As indicated by the axis L2, the distal end portion 32 is inclined downward toward the distal end side. The upper surface and the lower surface of the distal end portion 32 are formed substantially parallel to the axis L2, and are inclined downward toward the distal end side. The distal end portion 32 is at a position offset with respect to the proximal end portion 31 in the direction of the axis L3 of the fitting hole 31a. The hook 30 shown in FIG. 9 is formed at a position where the distal end portion 32 is offset downward in the direction of the axis L3 with respect to the proximal end portion 31, but the distal end portion 32 is in the direction of the axis L3 with respect to the proximal end portion 31. Alternatively, it may be formed at a position offset upward.

  The operation unit 34 is provided on the lower surface side facing the convex shape on the upper surface side, and is located in the vicinity of the concave portion on the lower surface side. When the user operates the hook 30 by hand, the belly of the little finger is hung from the index finger on the convex upper surface side, and the thumb's belly is hung on the operation portion 34 provided on the concave lower surface side. And operability is improved. If the upper surface side of the hook 30 has a convex shape, it becomes easier to place the belly of the little finger from the index finger, so the lower surface side may be flat instead of concave.

  Next, the operation of the shower device 100 will be described. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram for explaining a usage state of the shower device 100 during a body shower bath, and FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining a usage state of the shower device 100 during an overhead shower bath. As shown in FIG. 10, by positioning the hook 30 upward from the middle part of the slide bar 10, the user can perform a body shower bath in which the body portion is bathed with hot water from the shower head 81. In addition, the user can sit on a chair placed on the wash floor 91, position the hook 30 downward from the middle part of the slide bar 10, and take hot water from the shower head 81 on the body part.

  As shown in FIG. 11, by placing the hook 30 near the upper end of the slide bar 10, the user can perform an overhead shower bath in which hot water from the shower head 81 is bathed almost on the head or obliquely above. it can. The slide bar 10 extends from a position in the vertical direction of the wall panel 92 slightly closer to the washing floor 91 to the vicinity of the ceiling of the bathroom unit 101. By placing the hook 30 at the upper end, the slide bar 10 is high in the bathroom unit 101. Can be placed in position.

  Further, since the axis of the slide bar 10 is curved so as to be convex on the wall panel 92 side, the hook 30 approaches the user side as the position on the slide bar 10 increases. For this reason, when the hook 30 is positioned at the upper end of the slide bar 10, the shower head 81 can be positioned near the user's head.

  When the user operates the hook 30 by hand, the belly of the little finger is hung from the index finger on the convex upper surface side, and the thumb's belly is hung on the operation portion 34 provided on the concave lower surface side. . Since the convex bent portion 33 on the upper surface side of the hook 30 is positioned between the index finger and the little finger, the finger is hooked on the bent portion 33 and the hand is not easily displaced in the axial direction of the hook 30. Since the user does not easily move his hand when operating the hook 30, the operability when moving the hook 30 in the vertical direction is improved.

  The operation unit 34 is provided on the lower surface side facing the convex shape on the upper surface side, and is located in the vicinity of the concave portion on the lower surface side. When the user operates the hook 30 by hand, the user performs an operation of placing the belly of the little finger from the index finger on the convex upper surface side and pushing the operation unit 34 upward with the belly of the thumb. The user can easily hold the hook 30 with his / her finger by placing the ring finger around the convex shape of the bent portion 33 and pressing the operation portion 34 on the lower surface facing the thumb with the thumb. Become.

  Further, since the operation portion 34 is in the vicinity of the concave shape on the lower surface side of the hook 30, the thumb fits into the concave shape in a state in which the operation portion 34 is pushed upward with the thumb, so that it is difficult to be displaced. Will be better. Further, since the operation unit 34 is on the lower surface side of the hook 30, it is difficult for water, dust, or the like to enter the hook 30 from the gap in the operation unit 34.

  In the hook 30, the tip end portion 32 is inclined downward toward the tip end side as indicated by the axis L2. The upper surface and the lower surface of the distal end portion 32 are formed substantially parallel to the axis L2, and are inclined downward toward the distal end side. Therefore, when hot water discharged from the shower head 81 or hot water dripping from the hand of the user operating the hook 30 adheres to the hook 30, the attached hot water flows down to the tip side of the hook 30, It is difficult to collect on the lower surface, and the stain on the hook 30 can be suppressed.

  Since the slide bar 10 is provided so as to be inclined toward the distal end portion 32 as it goes upward, the upper surface and the lower surface of the distal end portion 32 have a greater degree of inclination on the distal end side. For this reason, the hot and cold water adhering to the hook 30 easily flows down to the tip end side of the hook 30, and contamination of the hook 30 can be further suppressed.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining the attachment of the upper bracket 21. The upper part of the slide bar 10 is attached to one end 41 of the upper bracket body 40, and the outer surface of the flange 43 at the other end 42 of the upper bracket body 40 is brought into contact with the wall panel 92. A screw is passed through a through hole 43 a provided in the flange 43 and screwed into a screw hole provided in the wall panel 92 to fix the upper bracket body 40 to the wall panel 92.

  The upper part of the upper bracket body 40 is open, and the upper bracket body 40 is inclined downward as it goes from the other end part 42 side to the one end part 41 side. For this reason, the operator can see through the through hole 43a provided in the flange 43 from the side away from the wall panel 92 of the one end 41 and slightly below. In addition, the handle portion of a tool such as a screwdriver or the head portion of an electric drill tool can be positioned above the one end 41 side of the upper bracket body 40, and the screw bit screwdriver has a short axial length dimension. Since it can be used, attachment work can be performed easily.

  The operator performs an operation of covering the upper bracket main body 40 fixed to the wall panel 92 with screws with the cover body 50. The operator holds the cover body 50 so that the other end 52 that is open faces the side of the one end 41 of the upper bracket body 40, and the cover 50 is lifted from the side of the one end 41 in a substantially horizontal direction. It is attached so as to be inserted into the bracket body 40. At this time, the cover body 50 is guided by the guided surface 56 a coming into contact with the guide surface 46 a of the upper bracket body 40, and the projection 57 is fitted into the locking hole 47 and is locked to the upper bracket body 40. The installation work is completed.

  In particular, in the shower apparatus 100 in which the slide bar 10 extends to the vicinity of the ceiling of the bathroom unit 101, the work of attaching the upper bracket main body 40 and the cover body 50 can be performed from the upper side and the lower side of the slide bar 10, so that the workability is good. .

  The shower device 100 is inclined so as to be separated from the wall panel 92 as the slide bar 10 moves upward, but is attached to the wall panel 92 by the lower bracket 20 and the upper bracket 21 having different lengths. As for the displacement of the mounting position on the upper side and the lower side of the slide bar 10, the flatness should be mainly considered on the wall panel 92 side. Becomes easy.

  After the cover body 50 is attached, the guided surface 56a of the cover body 50 and the guide surface 46a of the upper bracket body 40 are in contact with each other with a slight gap therebetween. Even when a user or the like touches the cover body 50 and the protrusion 57 is removed from the locking hole 47, the guided surface 56a contacts the guide surface 46a because the inclined angle of the guided surface 56a and the guide surface 46a is small. Thus, the cover body 50 is prevented from falling. The guide surface 46a and the guided surface 56a may be provided horizontally.

  The upper surface 55a of the top plate 55 of the cover body 50 that is the upper surface of the upper bracket 21 is inclined downward as it goes from the other end 52 to the one end 51 as described above. For this reason, the hot water scattered and adhered to the upper surface 55a flows down toward the one end portion 51 and hardly accumulates on the upper surface 55a, so that contamination of the upper bracket 21 can be suppressed.

  Further, the lower surface 45a of the bottom plate 45 of the upper bracket main body 40, which is the lower surface of the upper bracket 21, is inclined downward from the other end portion 42 toward the one end portion 41 as described above. For this reason, the hot water scattered and adhered to the lower surface 45a flows down toward the one end portion 41 and hardly accumulates on the lower surface 45a, so that contamination of the upper bracket 21 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, even when hot water that has flowed down from the upper bracket 21 falls on the hook 30, the tip portion 32 of the hook 30 is inclined downward toward the tip side as indicated by the axis L2, as described above. It is difficult to collect on the hook 30. Thereby, it becomes difficult for hot water to collect in the upper part of the shower apparatus 100, and the stain | pollution | contamination of the upper part of the shower apparatus 100 can be suppressed.

Next, features of the shower device 100 of the embodiment will be described.
The shower device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a shower head 81 that discharges hot water, a slide bar 10 that extends in the vertical direction, and a hook 30 that is slidably held by the slide bar 10 and holds the shower head 81. Prepare. The upper bracket 21 and the lower bracket 20 extend to the side of the slide bar 10, one end is attached to the upper and lower parts of the slide bar 10, and the other end is fixed to the wall panel 92. The length dimension of the upper bracket 21 is larger than that of the lower bracket 20, and the slide bar 10 is inclined so as to be separated from the wall panel 92 toward the upper part. Thus, the shower device 100 can be easily attached to the slide bar 10 that is inclined away from the wall panel 92 as it goes upward by the upper bracket 21 and the lower bracket 20 fixed to the wall panel 92.

  In the shower device 100, the upper bracket 21 is inclined downward as the upper surface 55 a moves toward the upper portion of the slide bar 10, that is, the one end portion 51. Thereby, the hot and cold water scattered and adhered to the upper surface 55a flows down toward the one end portion 51, hardly accumulates on the upper surface 55a, and the contamination of the upper bracket 21 can be suppressed.

  Further, the shower device 100 includes an upper bracket body 40 in which the upper bracket 21 is fixed to the wall panel 92 and a cover body 50 attached from the slide bar 10 side so as to cover the upper portion of the upper bracket body 40. The upper bracket body 40 has a guide surface 46a facing upward. The cover body 50 has a guided surface 56a that contacts the guide surface 46a from above. The inclination angle of the guide surface 46a and the guided surface 56a is smaller than the inclination angle of the upper surface 55a. As a result, the guided surface 56a contacts the guide surface 46a, thereby preventing the cover body 50 from falling.

  In the shower device 100, the upper bracket 21 is inclined downward as the lower surface 45 a moves toward the upper portion of the slide bar 10, that is, the one end portion 41. Thereby, the hot and cold water scattered and adhered to the lower surface 45a flows down toward the one end portion 41 and hardly accumulates on the lower surface 45a, so that contamination of the upper bracket 21 can be suppressed.

  In the above, it demonstrated based on embodiment of this invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments are examples, and that various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the claims of the present invention, and that such modifications and changes are also within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
