The bathtub lid locking device of the present invention comprises a stopper body 1 having an enlarged portion 3 formed at the upper end of a shaft portion 2 and a through hole 5 through which the shaft portion 2 of the stopper body 1 can pass. Lock body 4 having mounting surface 7 for fixing to inner wall surface 6
Consists of

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stopper body 1 has a structure in which a spherical enlarged portion 3 is formed at the upper end of a single shaft portion 2, and FIGS. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, two shaft portions 21 and 22 which are arranged in parallel at intervals.
At the top of each of them, spherical enlarged parts 31 and 32 are projected, and the enlarged parts 31 and 32 are connected to each other via a connecting rod 8. In the case where two shaft portions 21 and 22 are formed on the stopper body 1, for example, if one shaft portion 21 is shorter than the other shaft portion 22, a convenient use can be performed as described later. It is convenient. Although the stopper main body 1 is made of synthetic resin and has a hollow shape in the illustrated embodiment, it is needless to say that the stopper main body 1 may be formed as a non-hollow rod.

Next, the stopper body 4 has a through hole 5 at the tip end through which the shaft portions 2, 21 and 22 of the stopper body 1 can penetrate, and a mounting surface 7 for the wall surface 6 in the bathroom.
have. A required thickness can be obtained between the mounting surface 7 and the through hole 5 at the tip. In addition, although the said through-hole 5 can let the shaft parts 2, 21, and 22 pass,
The enlarged portions 3, 31, and 32 have a hole diameter that cannot be inserted. Mounting surface 7 of locking body 4 on wall surface 6 in the bathroom
In fixing the same, an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a suction cup, or, in some cases, a screw can be used, similarly to the conventional means for attaching to the wall surface of the bathroom accessories. When the enlarged portions 3, 31, 32 of the stopper main body 1 are formed in a spherical shape, the periphery of the through hole 5 of the locking tool main body 4 with which the enlarged portions 3, 31, 32 abut is also spherical. If it is formed in
The lower surfaces of the holes 31 and 32 are in close contact with the periphery of the through hole 5 to improve the stability (FIG. 4). Further, when a concave groove 9 is formed substantially at the center of the upper surface of the locking tool main body 4 and extends around the through hole 5 formed in a spherical shape, the shorter one of the stopper main body 1 is formed in the concave groove 9. The lower end of the shaft 21 can be set up (FIG. 6).

As described above, the mounting surface 7 of the locking body 4
There is a predetermined distance between the hole and the formation position of the through hole 5 at the front end, so that the mounting surface 7 of the locking body 4 is fixed to the wall surface 6 and formed at the front end of the locking body 4. When the shaft portions 2 and 22 of the stopper body 1 are passed through the through hole 5, the bathtub cover 10 to be locked is located between the shaft portions 2 and 22 and the wall surface 6.
Is obtained.

Next, an example of use of the bathtub lid locking device of the present invention will be described. In the case of a combined lid, the bathtub 1 is removed from the upper surface of the bathtub 12 during bathing as shown in FIG.
The shaft portion 2 of the stopper body 1 is dropped into the through hole 5 of the locking body 4 fixed to a predetermined portion of the wall surface 6 in advance. Since the enlarged portion 3 that cannot be inserted into the through hole 5 is formed at the upper end of the shaft portion 2 of the stopper body 1, the enlarged portion 3 is locked on the upper surface of the through hole 5. Since it penetrates through the through-hole 5 and protrudes to the lower part of the locking body 4, the upper end of the cover plate 10 is locked in the space 11 formed between the shaft 2 and the wall surface 6. In addition, even if it hits the cover plate 10, it does not fall down as in the related art.

On the other hand, in the case of the shutter lid, as a method of placing the bathtub lid when bathing, for example, a method of putting a small diameter rolled sideways on the edge of the bathtub, and a method of putting the small diameter rolled inside the bathroom. There is a method of leaning against the floor, and in any of these methods, the locking device of the present invention can prevent the device from falling down. That is, first, when the stopper body 4 is placed horizontally on the edge of the bathtub 12, the stopper body 4 is set at a position where the shaft portions 2 and 22 of the stopper body 1 are held horizontally as shown in FIG. Is attached to the wall surface 6 in advance, and the shaft portions 2 and 22 of the stopper body 1 are inserted into the through holes 5 of the locking body 4 so that the ends of the shaft portions 2 and 22 are wound around the core portion of the bathtub cover 10. Play fit. In this case, the bathtub cover 10 can prevent the bathtub cover 10 that is wound between the shaft portions 2 and 22 and the wall surface 6 from expanding in a small diameter.

[0013] Next, in the case where a small-diameter roll is leaned against the floor in a bathroom, as shown in FIG. 9, the shaft portions 2 and 22 of the stopper body 1 are rolled and the shutter is leaned against the roll. The locking member body 4 is fixed to the wall surface 6 in the bathroom in advance at a position where the locking member body 4 can be loosely fitted vertically in the core portion, which is the center space of the lid, so that the locking member body 4 can pass through. Hole 5
The shutter lid is locked through the shaft portions 2 and 22 of the stopper main body 1 therein. At this time, when the thickness from the core portion of the shutter lid wound in a roll shape to the outside is considerable, the two shaft portions 21 and 22 of the stopper body 1 are provided.
When the shorter shaft portion 21 is inserted into the through hole 5, the distance between the longer shaft portion 22 and the wall surface 6 becomes larger, so that the winding diameter covering the large bathtub is large. Even a bathtub lid can sufficiently cope. When the stopper body 1 is to be used with the shaft part being vertical as described above, the longer shaft part 22 is inserted halfway into the through hole 5 as shown in FIG. If the lower end portion of the shaft portion 21 is set up in the concave groove 9 of the locking tool main body 4, the locking tool main body 4 can hold the stopper body 1. The bathtub lid 10 can be taken out without completely removing the stopper body 1.

As described above, the two shaft portions 21 and 22 having different lengths with the enlarged portions 31 and 32 formed at the upper end are arranged side by side at an interval, and the enlarged portions 31 and 32 are connected to each other by the connecting rod. In the case of using the stopper main body 1 connected through the intermediary 8, the size of the space 11 can be changed by selecting a shaft portion to be inserted into the through hole 5 of the locking tool main body 4,
It is possible to lock according to the size of the bathtub lid 10 to be targeted.
