Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slide type shower hanger capable of arbitrarily adjusting the height and inclination angle of a shower.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A slide type shower hanger installed on a wall surface of a bathroom, a shower room or the like, in which a supporting height and an inclination angle of a shower head can be adjusted by a user, is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-27564. ing. In the slide type shower hanger disclosed in the publication, a slide body is fitted along a guide bar vertically fixed to a wall surface, and a height determination handle and an angle determination handle are provided on the slide body, respectively. The slide handle can be fixed at an arbitrary height on the guide bar by operating the handle, and the angle of the shower hook provided on the slide body can be adjusted by operating the angle handle to tilt the shower. The angle can be set arbitrarily. However, in this slide type shower hanger, since the height determination handle and the angle determination handle are separate, there is a risk that the operating location may be mistaken during use, it is difficult to handle if you are unfamiliar, and you can loosen the height determination handle and slide the slide body. When the fixing is released, the weight of the slide body on which the shower head is hung suddenly joins the hand holding the height determination handle, which may cause it to fall, which is a drawback that height adjustment is difficult to perform. In the slide shower hanger of the same publication, the slide body can be fixed to the guide bar by interposing a soft pressing tool, but the soft pressing tool can be fixed to the guide bar for a long time by tightening the height determination handle. Since the elastic restoring property is lost when pressed, the above drawbacks have not been solved.

Further, in the slide type shower hanger disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-6771, a pair of springs are provided so as to sandwich the guide bar, and the elasticity of the springs acts on the guide bar to make the slide body optional. It can be stopped at the height of. However, in the structure in which the slide body is supported only by the elasticity of the spring as described above, when the shower head in a full state is hung, the spring force is insufficient with respect to the weight of the shower head, and the slide body falls off, or conversely, the spring force is decreased. If is too strong, it may not slide smoothly when adjusting the height, and the friction resistance between the slide body and the guide bar also changes due to the change in the state of the friction surface, so it is difficult to set the strength of the spring,
There were drawbacks such as poor usability.

Furthermore, in the shower head holding device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-47262, a spring for constantly pressing the guide bar is provided in the slide body so that the slide body can be fixed at a desired height by the restoring force of the spring. In addition, a release piece that prevents the restoring force of the spring from being applied to the guide bar is interposed, and the slide piece can be slid up and down along the guide bar by pressing the release piece. However, this device requires a spring that is strong enough to hold the slide body, and the height cannot be adjusted unless the release piece is pressed against the spring force. There was a drawback that was not suitable for children and children.

Therefore, the present inventors have filed Japanese Patent Application No. 7-21681.
Although a patent has already been filed for a slide type shower hanger which solves the above-mentioned drawbacks in No. 5, the present invention intends to further improve it and prevent falling off which may occur when the tightening handle is loosened.
