[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional towel rack, a ring support portion having a good appearance is formed by forming a support shaft and a dish-like member as an integrally molded body of a casting. The ring support portion of the integrally molded body has a locking portion processed from the inside on the inner surface of the dish-shaped member after molding. Such a conventional towel rack is inevitably expensive and has to be expensive.
Further, there is a drawback that a slight gap is easily formed between the end surface of the dish-shaped member fitted to the mounting bracket and the wall surface.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a towel rack that is easy to manufacture at low cost and has a good appearance.

[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the towel rack of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the towel rack of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a main part showing the attached state, and FIG.
This towel rack has a thin plate member 2, a thick plate member 4, a support shaft 9, a ring 10, a mounting bracket 17, and a locking pin 20.
The thin plate member 2 is produced by press-molding a stainless steel plate having a thickness of about 0.3 to 1 mm with a thin metal plate for makeup. A center hole 1 is formed at the bottom of the thin dish member 2.
[0007]
Next, the thick dish member 4 is made of a press-formed body of an aluminum plate having a thickness of about 2 to 4 mm as an example, and the center hole 1 is formed at the bottom. The center hole 1 and the center hole 1 of the thin dish member 2 are aligned. Then, the outer periphery of the bottom is slightly raised in a cylindrical shape, and the outer periphery is aligned with the inner periphery of the thin dish member 2. Further, an elongated rectangular hole 3 is formed on the outer periphery of the thick dish member 4.
Next, the support shaft 9 has a small-diameter portion 5 formed in a stepped manner at the tip of the large-diameter portion 7. The outer diameter of the small diameter portion 5 is aligned with the central hole 1 of the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4. And the front-end edge 21 of the large diameter part 7 is formed in the taper. A pair of ring fitting holes 8 are provided on the outer periphery of the rear end portion of the large diameter portion 7 so as to be separated from each other by 180 °.
[0008]
Next, the ring 10 is formed in a substantially annular shape in which a part thereof is cut off and the diameter thereof is elastically expanded / contracted. That is, both end surfaces of the ring 10 face each other through the notch 22.
Then, with the thick dish member 4 fitted to the thin dish member 2, the small diameter part 5 of the support shaft 9 is inserted into each center hole 1, and the stepped surface is abutted against the thin dish member 2. And the front-end | tip of the small diameter part 5 is crimped, and, thereby, the thick plate member 4, the thin plate member 2, and the support shaft 9 are integrated. At this time, since the tip edge 21 of the large-diameter portion 7 of the support shaft 9 is tapered, even if a slight dent is formed in the center hole 1 of the thin plate member 2 by the tip edge 21, the strike edge 21 Since the trace is formed in the back of the taper, it is hardly visible from the outside. Thereby, the large-diameter part 7, the thin plate member 2, and the thick plate member 4 exhibit an external appearance like an integral one. In other words, if the leading edge 21 is not tapered, the leading edge of the large diameter portion 7 forms an annular dent on the outer periphery of the central hole 1 of the thin plate member 2 by caulking. This is seen as a proof that the integrity with the thin plate member 2 is impaired, and the sense of quality as a towel rack is impaired.
[0009]
After the large-diameter portion 7, the thin plate member 2, and the thick plate member 4 are integrated in this way, the pin is attached to the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 at a position 180 ° away from the rectangular hole 3. A hole 18 is formed, and a female screw 19 is threaded therein.
Next, the mounting bracket 17 is made of a press-formed body of a substantially rectangular metal plate, and the leg portions 12 and 13 are raised at both ends of the flat portion 11. Each of the leg portions 12 and 13 has an outer periphery formed in an arc shape, and a locking portion 14 is provided at the tip of one leg portion 12 so as to protrude outward in the longitudinal direction of the flat portion 11. The cross section of the locking portion 14 is aligned with the rectangular hole 3 of the thick dish member 4. A pin hole 15 is drilled in the base portion of the other leg portion 13. Further, a pair of screw holes 16 are formed in the flat portion 11 of the mounting bracket 17. The pin hole 15 and the screw hole 16 are formed by pressing before bending the leg portion.
The locking pin 20 is screwed into the female screw 19 of the pin hole 18 of the thick plate member 4. A conical portion 20 a is formed at the tip of the locking pin 20.
[0010]
[Mounting method]
Next, a method for attaching such a towel rack to a wall surface will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, the flat portion 11 of the mounting bracket 17 is brought into contact with the wall surface 25, and the mounting bracket 17 is fixed to the wall surface 25 via the screw 6. Next, in a state where the locking pin 20 screwed to the female screw 19 of the thick plate member 4 is moved outward in the radial direction, the rectangular hole 3 of the thick plate member 4 is formed in the locking portion 14 of the mounting bracket 17. Fit. Next, the front end of the driver is fitted to the rear end face of the locking pin 20 and rotated to move the locking pin 20 to the center side of the thick plate member 4. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the conical portion 20 a of the locking pin 20 contacts the tip side hole edge of the leg portion 13 in the pin hole 15. By further rotating the locking pin 20, only one edge of the leg portion 13 comes into contact with the larger diameter portion of the conical portion 20a. Then, the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 relatively move to the wall surface 25 side, and their front end surfaces contact the wall surface 25 reliably. Thereby, there is no gap between the wall surface 25 and the thin plate member 2 or the thick plate member 4. Then, both ends of the ring 10 are fitted into the ring fitting holes 8 of the support shaft 9, and the installation of the towel rack is completed.
[0011]
[Operation and effect of the invention]
In the first aspect of the present invention, the thick plate member 4 is provided with a rectangular hole 3 and a pin hole 18 having a female screw 19, which are fitted to the thin plate member 2, and the small diameter portion 5 of the support shaft 9. Is inserted into the central hole 1 and the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 are caulked and fixed, so that the rectangular hole 3 does not appear to the outside and is a good towel rack. In a state where the mounting bracket 17 is fixed to the wall surface 25, the rectangular hole 3 is locked to the locking portion 14 of the mounting bracket 17, and the locking pin 20 is screwed to the female screw 19. Since it is configured to be locked to the pin hole 15, a towel rack that is easy to install and easy to manufacture can be provided at low cost.
[0012]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the conical portion 20 a is provided at the tip of the locking pin 20, and when the tip of the conical portion 20 a is inserted into the pin hole 15 of the mounting bracket 17, 15 so that the thin plate member 2 and the thick plate member 4 move relative to the wall surface 25 as the locking pin 20 is inserted deeper into the pin hole 15. Since it comprised in this, it can prevent that a clearance gap produces between the thin plate member 2, the thick plate member 4, and a wall surface.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the tip edge 21 of the large-diameter portion 7 of the support shaft 9 is formed in a truncated cone shape. Since the annular dent on the surface of the thin-walled dish member 2 is located on the inner side of the large-diameter portion 7 and hidden, it can be a good-looking and high-quality towel rack.
