DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting rod used for a curtain rail, a towel rack, a clothes rack, etc., which is mounted without using a mounting bracket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many mounting rods of this type have been put into practical use, but all have a circular cross section, and both ends of the rod are directly pressed against a window stile or the like. The specific structure is a structure in which two rods having a circular cross section are connected by a turnbuckle mechanism, and a spring is mounted inside to urge the rod in the extending direction.

[0003]

The above conventional structure has the following problems. First, since the length of the mounting rod is adjusted by the turnbuckle mechanism, the rod is limited to a circular cross section. Therefore, it cannot be applied to a curtain rail having a groove. Second, since the mounting rod has a structure in which both ends of the mounting rod are directly pressed against a window stile or the like, the mounting rod cannot be mounted with both ends protruding beyond the window stile. In the curtain rail, it is preferable that the curtain width is slightly larger than the window stile dimension (window opening width), but such a demand could not be met.

[0004]

In the mounting rod of the present invention, pressure-contact members for pressing against a window stile or the like are attached to both ends of the rod by protruding from the side wall of the rod. At least one of the pressing members is slidable on the rod, and at least one of the slidably pressing members is biased toward the end of the rod. According to a second aspect of the present invention, a spring for urging the pressure contact member is disposed in the rod. A third aspect of the present invention is to dispose a screw mounting base on a peripheral wall of the rod and press-contact the screw mounting base. An adjusting screw that contacts the inner surface of the member is attached in parallel with the mounting rod, and the position of the press-contact member is regulated by the adjusting screw. The rod may be constituted by one rod, or two rods may be slidably coupled to each other so that the length can be adjusted. However, as in the invention of claim 4, two rods are provided. When they are rotatably connected, it is easy to obtain a strong pressing force. According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a base member is provided on a peripheral wall of a rod, and a base end of a spring mounting member that is configured to be freely bent is rotatably attached to the base member, and a distal end of the spring mounting member is connected to a pressing member. It is mounted rotatably. The spring mounting member is expandable and contractable, and is mounted with a spring that urges the extension side. According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting device comprising the pressure contact member and the mechanism for urging the pressure contact member according to the above inventions, and is used by being attached to both ends of an arbitrary rod.

In the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the rod is not limited to the rectangular shape shown in the following embodiment. There is no restriction on the specific shape as long as the press-contact member can be attached in a circular cross section or the like. Further, one of the press contact members at both ends may be fixed and the other may be slidable, or both may be slidable. When both are slidable, both may be urged by a spring or only one may be urged by a spring. The mounting rod according to the present invention may be used as a curtain rail, a towel rail, a rod for a mounting shelf, or the like.

[0006]

In the present invention, the mounting rod can be fixed at a desired position by pressing the pressing members mounted on both ends of the rod against a window stile or the like. At this time, if the position of the pressure contact member is located slightly closer to the center than both ends of the rod, both ends of the rod slightly protrude to the left and right of the window stile, so that the curtain can be attached in a good appearance. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the pressing member is pressed against a window stile or the like by a spring. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the pressure contact member is supported by the adjusting screw, the pressure contact state is maintained without inadvertent movement of the pressure contact member. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when the two rods are bent and applied to a window stile or the like, and the rods are pushed straight, the pressure contact member is strongly pressed. Similarly, in the invention of claim 5, the pressing member is strongly pressed by bending the spring mounting member and applying it to a window stile or the like, and pressing it in a straight line.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a rod 1 has a rectangular cross section, a lower part is a curtain rail part 2 having a groove, and an upper part is a mounting part 3 of a pressure contact member. Has a longitudinal groove 4 formed therein. The rod 1
