In addition, when a rack stand is installed in a bathroom, the bathroom is relatively small, so that the limited space in the bathroom can be effectively used, so there is a demand for a compact rack stand. However, when the side frames are connected in a rectangular frame shape, for example, when a body brush with a long handle is placed in or taken out from a shelf installed between the side frames, the support pillars on the front side of the side frames interfere with the body brushes. It is inconvenient because it can only be put in and taken out from the side of the rack stand, and as mentioned above, if you try to install the rack stand in a limited space in the bathroom, the rack stand may be installed in the corner of the bathroom. In many cases, when the rack stand is installed in the corner of the bathroom, there is no space on the side of the rack stand, which makes it extremely difficult to put in and take out the body brush. Furthermore, if the most bulky bath tub among bathroom equipment is to be placed on a rack shelf and stored, the rack width must be made larger than the maximum diameter of the bath tub, leading to an increase in the size of the rack stand. There was also a problem.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and simplifies the manufacturing process of the rack stand, and is capable of exerting an excellent storage capacity in spite of a small rack stand. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rack stand that can easily take items in and out.

 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a rack stand according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the rack stand 1 of the present invention comprises a pair of left and right side frames 2, upper and lower two-stage shelves 3 installed on the middle and lower stages of the side frame 2, and the side frames 2. A holding frame 4 for supporting the bath tub A provided at the upper stage is provided. The side frame 2, the shelf 3 and the holding frame 4 which compose the rack stand 1 are formed of stainless wire.

The side frame 2 is formed by bending a single stainless steel wire rod and connecting the lower ends of the front and rear columns 5 and 5A with a horizontal crosspiece 6. That is, the side frame 2 is bent into a U-shape that releases the upper edge. Further, the front pillar 5 of the side frame 2 is formed shorter than the rear pillar 5A.

The shelf 3 provided on the side frame 2 is constructed by spot welding a grid-like support bar 8 to an edge frame 7 having a side surface of an L shape. Further, the shelf 3 is installed on the side frame 2 with the support bars 8 inclined so that the front side of the shelf 3 is raised so that the shampoo bottle S to be placed can be taken out easily.

The holding frame 4 is formed in a rectangular frame shape in a plan view, but the front portion and the rear portion are respectively formed with rising portions 9 and 9A bent upward in an L shape. There is. The interval between the rising portions 9 and 9A is set to be slightly wider than the height of a commercially available bath tub A, and the rising portion 9 on the front side is formed to be shorter than the rising portion 9A on the rear side. The portion 9A is spot-welded to two connecting bars 10 which are laid in parallel with each other on the upper end of the column 5A on the back side of the side frame 2. Further, a hook portion 12 which is bent in an inverted U shape into which the suction plate 11 is inserted is formed almost at the center of the lower connecting bar 10 to which the holding frame 4 is fixed. In addition, reference numeral 13 in the drawing denotes a spherical rubber cap which is attached to the upper ends of the columns 5 and 5A of the side frame 2.

A subrack stand 21 is arranged at a lower portion of the rack stand 1, and the subrack stand 21 includes a pair of left and right side frames 22 and two upper and lower tiers which are erected in middle and lower tiers of the side frames 22. Although it has a shelf 23 and has substantially the same configuration as the rack stand 1, a horizontal grid-like horizontal shelf 24 is spot-welded to the upper stage of the side frame 22 and the columns 25 are provided at the front and rear of the side frame 22. , 25A are connected by a horizontal crosspiece 26, which is different from the rack stand 1. Then, the rack stand 1 and the subrack stand 21 are used by stacking them vertically. That is, the side frames 2 of the rack stand 1 are bent in a U-shape in which the lower end portions are connected by the horizontal bars 6 and the upper end edges are released so that the rack stands 1 and 21 can be connected vertically. On the other hand, the side frame 22 of the subrack stand 21 is, on the contrary, bent into a U-shape which connects the upper end portion with the horizontal crosspiece 26 and releases the lower end edge, and forms the crosspiece 6 of the rack stand 1. The horizontal crosspieces 26 of the subrack stand 21 are formed to have equal lengths, and the outer shapes of the side frames 2 and 22 are formed to have substantially the same size.

In addition, a protruding bent portion 27 protruding upward and protruding in a U-shape is formed substantially at the center of the horizontal horizontal rail 26 of the sub-stand 21 while the horizontal horizontal rail 26 is in contact with the horizontal horizontal rail 26. On the horizontal rail 6 of the rack stand 1, a concave bent portion 28 is formed so as to bypass the projecting bent portion 27 and directed inward. Then, connecting tools 29 are attached to the projecting bent portions 27 and the concave bent portions 28 of both rack stands 1 and 21, and the rack stands 1 and 21 stacked vertically are connected to each other.

The connector 29 is a synthetic resin integrally molded product, and is formed by vertically arranging two groove portions 30 to be fitted into the projecting bent portion 27 and the concave bent portion 28 on the inner surface side. are doing. In addition, a connecting bar 31 is installed on a post 25A on the rear side of the subrack stand 21 at approximately the middle of the upper and lower two-stage shelves 23. A hook portion 32 bent into an inverted U shape for inserting the suction disk 11 is formed, and a spherical rubber cap 13 is fitted to the lower ends of the columns 25 and 25A of the subrack stand 21.

The operation of the present invention configured as above will be described. The present invention provides excellent storage capacity when the rack stand 21 and the subrack stand 21 are connected vertically with the connector 29 when installed and used in a place where there is not enough space such as in the bathroom. Despite having it, the storage space can be kept small. When using in a relatively wide area such as a kitchen, use both rack stands 1 and 21 separately and side by side, or use rack stand 1 and subrack stand 21 separately. Can be used in. When the rack stand 21 and the sub rack stand 21 are vertically connected and used, with the rack stand 1 placed on the sub rack stand 21, as shown in FIG. The groove 30 of the connector 29 is fitted into the projecting bent portion 27 and the concave bent portion 28 of 21. At this time, a slight gap is formed between the horizontal rail 6 of the rack stand 1 and the horizontal horizontal rail 26 of the subrack stand 21 via the connection tool 29, but as shown in FIG. The concave folds 28 are positioned inside the projecting folds 27 by rotating the tool 29 inwardly. At this time, the connection tool 29 fitted in both rack stands 1 and 21 is inclined downward and is interposed between the projecting bent portion 27 and the concave bent portion 28. The gap between the groove portions 30 formed in the connector 29 is set to be slightly wider than the gap between the protruding bent portion 27 and the concave bent portion 28, and the horizontal rail 6 and the horizontal horizontal rail of both rack stands 1 and 21 are set. By forming 26 with a highly elastic stainless wire, a force is applied between the protruding bent portion 27 and the recessed bent portion 28 to widen the space between the protruding bent portion 27 and the recessed bent portion 27. The connector 29, which is inclined downward with respect to the bent portion 28, generates a biasing force that pushes the concave bent portion 28 downward, whereby the horizontal crosspiece 26 and the crosspiece 6 are pressed against each other. , Both rack stands 1 and 21 can be firmly connected. Therefore, it is possible to easily assemble both rack stands 1 and 21 by inserting a connecting piece 29 into the protruding bent part 27 and the concave bent part 28 and rotating the connecting piece 29 inward. Moreover, the rack 29 can be easily disassembled by simply rotating the connector 29 upward. Then, the rack stands 1 and 21 are vertically assembled and connected, and the bathroom equipment is placed on the shelves 3 and 23 of the rack stands 1 and 21 and the horizontal shelf 24. At this time, the center of gravity of both vertically connected rack stands 1 and 21 becomes high, and it is easy to fall over.However, attach the suction plate 11 to the hooks 12 and 32 formed on the back side of both rack stands 1 and 21, By adsorbing the suction board 11 to the wall surface of the bathroom, there is no concern that the rack stands 1 and 21 will fall to the front side, which is safe.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, when the bathroom equipment is placed on the shelves 3 and 23 of the rack stands 1 and 21 and the horizontal shelf 24, if the shampoo bottle S or the like is placed on the slanted shelves 3 and 23, The shampoo bottle S can be easily taken out along the slope of the shelves 3,23. In addition, the left and right side frames 2 of the upper rack stand 1 are bent in a U-shape with the upper end edge opened without connecting the left and right side frames 2 in a rectangular shape, and the front column 5 of the side frame 2 is replaced with the rear column 5A. Since it is formed shorter than, the pillar 5A does not get in the way when the body brush B with a long handle is placed on the shelf 3 provided in the middle stage of the rack stand 1, and can be easily put in and taken out from the front side. it can. A holding frame 4 for the bath tub A is provided at the top of the rack stand 1, and the holding frame 4 is bent to the front and the rear of the holding frame 4 as shown in FIG. Since the bath tub A that has been stood up is inserted between the rising portions 9 and 9A, and the bath tub A is sandwiched and held by the rising portions 9 and 9A, a holding frame is provided compared to when the bath tub A is placed sideways. Even when the width of the rack stand 4 and the width of the rack stand 1 are narrowed, the bath tub A can be reliably held. That is, when the bath tub A is placed sideways, the placement surface must be set larger than the maximum diameter of the bath tub A, but the bath tub A is sandwiched between the rising portions 9 and 9A and the bath tub A is set up. By holding only the lower part of the bath tub A, it is only necessary to partially hold the bath tub A, so that the rack stand 1 can be downsized. Therefore, there is no useless storage space in the relatively small bathroom, and it can be used effectively.

Furthermore, by making the side frames 2 and 22 of both rack stands 1 and 21 into a U-shape with one end open, it is not necessary to spot weld the ends of the side frames 2 and 22 and simply bend them. Since it can be molded by the method, it is easy to manufacture, and since the end portions of the side frames 2 and 22 are covered with the rubber cap 13, there is no injury due to contact and the safety is high.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the lowermost shelf 23 of the subrack stand 21 arranged on the lower side of the rack stand 1 has, for example, a sponge on the lower side to wash bath toys and body for an infant to play in the bathroom. The height is set so that a deep-bottomed bucket 40 made of a metal wire rod for storing the above can be inserted.

That is, in this embodiment, each of the columns 25 and 25A of the subrack stand 21 is extended to form a large space between the lower surface of the shelf 23 at the bottom and the floor of the bathroom for the bucket 40 to enter. There is.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the miscellaneous bath toys and sponges that wash the body can be stored together in the bucket 40, and the lower portion of the subrack stand 21 stores bath toys in this embodiment. It can be effectively used as a space.

Although the respective embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, the shapes of shelves and buckets or the number thereof are not limited to those in the embodiment, and may be set appropriately. Also, in the second embodiment, an example is shown in which the support rack of the subrack stand is extended to secure a storage space for the bucket to be inserted in the lower side of the subrack stand.
