In addition, the towel 13 and the towel clip 14 do not get in the way. Even when the drawer 7 is closed, the towel clip 14 is moved and returned to the original position as the front plate 9 moves rearward.

  As shown in FIG. 4, hook pieces 30, 31 as holding pieces projecting toward the first holding piece 23 side are formed vertically on the lower end (open end) of the second holding piece 22. Yes. The hook pieces 30, 31 extend slightly upward (toward the pivot axis 24) with respect to the inner surface of the second clamping piece 22, and are hook pieces arranged above the longitudinal width of the hook piece 31 arranged below. The longitudinal width of 30 is slightly longer (see FIG. 2C). In addition, the lower surface of the hook piece 31 arrange | positioned below is formed with the taper surface 31a as a guide surface which inclines inward toward the upper direction from a lower end part side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the corners 22a on the left and right sides of the lower end portion of the second clamping piece 22 are rounded with a predetermined curvature, and the user's body and the child's head are formed on the corners 22a. It is safe because it is hard to get hurt even if it comes into contact.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower end portion (open end portion) of the first holding piece 23 has a substantially horizontal direction between the two hook pieces 30 and 31 formed on the second holding piece 22 side. A hook piece 32 extending in a protruding manner is provided. The hook piece 32 extends in the left-right direction of the first clamping piece 23 (see FIG. 2C), and the protruding length is longer than the protruding length of the hook pieces 30 and 31. Is formed. The tip of the hook piece 32 is bent slightly upward so that the hook piece 32 can be used by hooking a grip 33 (see FIG. 4B) such as a shopping bag. At the same time, it does not fall off easily from the tip.

  The hook piece 32 is formed on the first holding piece 23 fixed to the front side of the kitchen counter 1 by the attachment portion 27, so that the towel 13 is not only stably held but also the hook piece 32. The holding strength is effectively increased.

  Further, the lower surface (outer surface) of the hook piece 32 is formed with a tapered surface 32a as a guide surface inclined inward from the lower end side upward. That is, at the lower ends of the first sandwiching piece 23 and the second sandwiching piece 22, an inclined tapered surface 31 a that guides the towel 13 toward the insertion direction between the first sandwiching piece 23 and the second sandwiching piece 22, 32a is arranged in a substantially C shape in a side view, and a receiving surface is wide and a guide surface that is tapered in the insertion direction is formed.

  Furthermore, the tip portions of the hook pieces 32 and 31 formed at the lower end portions of the second sandwiching piece 22 and the first sandwiching piece 23 are more than the lower end portions of the opposing second sandwiching piece 22 and first sandwiching piece 23, respectively. Since it enters the upper side (inner side), the lower end portion of the second sandwiching piece 22 is opened by simply moving the towel 13 upward from below the lower end portions of the first sandwiching piece 23 and the second sandwiching piece 22. Is securely inserted between the lower ends of the first clamping piece 23 and the second clamping piece 22 and is held by the urging force of the coil spring 25 and the hook pieces 32, 31, 30. In addition, since the tip end portion of the hook piece 32 protruding toward the user side is covered with the second holding piece 22, there is no possibility that the user of the kitchen counter 1, a child, etc. will come into contact with the injury.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, the left and right corner portions 32a of the hook piece 32 of the first clamping piece 23 are rounded with a predetermined curvature, so that the towel 13 can be seen from the diagonally lower side of the hook piece 32. Can be inserted between the second sandwiching piece 22 and the first sandwiching piece 23 without being caught on the left and right corners 32a.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), contact pieces 34 and 35 are formed in the vicinity of the pivot 24 of the second holding piece 22 and the first holding piece 23 so as to protrude inward from each other and the tip portions abut against each other. When the second clamping piece 22 is biased toward the first clamping piece 23 by the coil spring 25 and is brought into a closed state (non-holding state), the contact pieces 34 and 35 are brought into contact with each other. By abutting, a gap having a predetermined width is formed between the tip of the hook piece 32 and the inner surface of the second holding piece 22, and a predetermined gap (hook) is also formed between the hook piece 32 and the hook pieces 30, 31. The second holding piece 22 is held at a position where the gap between the piece 30 and the hook piece 32 is about 4 mm, and the gap between the hook piece 31 and the hook piece 32 is about 1.5 mm). As the gap is formed in this way, the thick towel 13 is removed. It becomes easy to insert.

  In addition, a hook piece 32 having a predetermined length protrudes from the inner surface of the lower end of the first holding piece 23 substantially perpendicularly to the inner face, and the first holding piece 23 and the hook piece 32 are substantially L-shaped in a side view. In the closed state, the second sandwiching piece 22 and the second sandwiching piece 22 have a curved shape that bulges forward from the upper end side toward the lower end side. Since a relatively large space 36 (holding space) having a substantially triangular shape in a side view capable of accommodating a part of an article such as the towel 13 inserted between the sandwiching piece 23 is formed, particularly FIG. As shown in b), for example, a thick folded portion of the towel 13 folded into four folds (two or more folds) is inserted and sandwiched between the second sandwiching piece 22 and the first sandwiching piece 23.

  Next, the use situation of the towel clip 14 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. When the towel clip 14 is held by the towel clip 14 as shown in FIG. After grasping the left and right sides of the folded towel 13 and positioning the towel 13 below the towel clip 14, the towel 13 is pushed up in the direction of the white arrow in FIG. The raised towel 13 is formed between the first sandwiching piece 23 and the second sandwiching piece 22 by the tapered surfaces 31 a and 32 a configured in a C shape by the tapered surface 31 a of the hook piece 31 and the tapered surface 32 a of the hook piece 32. While being guided toward the gap formed between the lower end portions, the user is pushed by the inserted towel 13 without directly grasping the second holding piece 22 by hand and expanding the towel clip 14. Since the lower end portion of the second clamping piece 22 is expanded, the towel 13 can be easily inserted between the second clamping piece 22 and the first clamping piece 23.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the state where the towel 13 is held, the plurality of hook pieces 30, 31, 32 sandwich the towel 13 from the front-rear direction, so that the towel 13 is hooked by the hook pieces 30, 31, 32. The sliding resistance increases with respect to the direction in which the towel clip 14 comes off. Therefore, it is difficult for the towel 13 to come off from the towel clip 14, and the towel 13 is prevented from slipping off due to its own weight (see FIG. 4B).

  Further, the hook piece 32 protrudes from the lower end portion of the first holding piece 23 toward the second holding piece 22 side, so that the first holding piece 23 and the second holding piece 22 are in the closed state. Since the relatively large space 36 is formed, it can be held even in the thick part of the folded towel 13, thereby preventing the towel 13 from hanging down for a long time and contacting the floor with the lower end. At the same time, when the drawer 8 on the lower side of the kitchen counter 1 is opened, the hanging towel 13 does not get in the way.

  The towel clip 14 has a structure in which the towel 13 is sandwiched and held by a pair of second sandwiching pieces 22 and first sandwiching pieces 23 made of different members, and therefore the second sandwiching piece with respect to the first sandwiching piece 23. 22 can be greatly expanded, and the second sandwiching piece 22 is biased toward the first sandwiching piece 23 by the coil spring 25, so that the space between the second sandwiching piece 22 and the first sandwiching piece 23 is large. Even if it is expanded, the towel 13 is clamped without weakening the clamping force.

  Further, when removing the towel 13 from the towel clip 14, as shown by the white arrow in FIG. 5B, the second sandwiching piece 22 is swung upward by pulling the towel 13 horizontally toward the front side. Since the space between the first sandwiching piece 23 and the second sandwiching piece 22 is greatly expanded, the towel 13 can be easily removed without being caught by the hook piece 23 by simply pulling the towel 13 horizontally.

  Thus, when holding or removing the towel 13, the user pushes the towel 13 upward from the lower side of the towel clip 14 without holding the second holding piece 22 and expanding it, or in the horizontal direction. It can be easily attached to or detached from the towel clip 14 simply by pulling it out.

  As described above, in the towel clip 14 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the towel 13 is held by the towel clip 14, one end of the towel 13 is held by the first holding piece 23 and the second holding piece. After being positioned in the vicinity of the open end of the piece 22, the towel 13 is moved by the taper surfaces 31 a and 32 a as the guide surfaces formed on the outer surfaces of the hook pieces 31 and 32 by being pushed toward the inner space 36. Since the guide is reliably guided between the open ends of the first and second clamping pieces 23 and 22, the towel 13 can be easily inserted without opening the second clamping piece 22 by hand, Since the inserted towel 13 is securely held by the hook pieces 32, 31, 30, it does not easily fall off. Moreover, since the front-end | tip part of the hook piece 32 is covered from the 2nd clamping piece 22, there is no possibility that the user of the kitchen counter 1 may contact and be injured.

  Furthermore, the hook pieces 32, 31, and 30 are provided so as to project toward the opposing holding pieces, whereby a space portion 36 that can accommodate a part of the towel 13 between the first holding piece 23 and the second holding piece 22. Therefore, for example, the towel 13 is folded so that the lower end of the towel 13 does not contact the floor surface, or even the towel 13 made of thick fabric is held by the towel clip 14 and suspended. be able to.

  Next, the towel clip 37 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. It should be noted that the same components as those shown in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant description is omitted. FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the towel clip 37 according to the second embodiment, FIG. 7A is a plan view illustrating the towel clip 37, and FIG. 7B is a front view illustrating the towel clip 37. 7 (c) is a bottom view showing the towel clip 37, FIG. 8 (a) is a longitudinal side view showing the towel clip 37 attached to the kitchen counter 1, and FIG. 8 (b) It is a vertical side view which shows the towel clip 37 of the state holding the towel 13. FIG.

  7 (a), the front side of the paper surface of FIG. 7 (b), the upper side of the paper surface of FIG. 7 (c), and the right side of the paper surface of FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). 37 will be described as the front side.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a towel clip 37 as a holder in the present embodiment that can hold the towel 13 is attached to the upper edge of the front plate 9 in the drawer 7 provided in the kitchen counter 1. As shown in FIG. 7B, the towel clip 37 has a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and is arranged such that the longitudinal direction thereof faces the horizontal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the towel clip 37 is formed by bending a single plate-shaped synthetic resin material into a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side. 38 is formed, and a mounting portion 40 is provided on the back side of the first clamping piece portion 39 disposed opposite to the second clamping piece portion 38.

  In the state attached to the front surface of the kitchen counter 1, the open end portions of the second sandwiching piece portion 38 and the first sandwiching piece portion 39, that is, the end portion on the side where the towel 13 is inserted are arranged on the upper side, The towel 13 can be inserted and held between the sandwiching piece portion 38 and the first sandwiching piece portion 39 from above (see FIG. 8B). Further, the upper end portion of the second clamping piece portion 38 can be elastically deformed and expanded in the forward direction with respect to the first clamping piece portion 39, and the expanded second clamping piece portion 38 is applied with an urging force that urges toward the first clamping piece 39 by an elastic return force (see FIG. 8B). As described above, the towel clip 37 is formed of one elastically deformable synthetic resin plate, and can be manufactured with a small number of parts by obtaining an urging force by the elastic restoring force, so that the manufacturing cost of the towel clip 37 can be reduced. It can be effectively reduced.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the upper side of the second clamping piece portion 38 and the first clamping piece portion 39 is opened, and the second clamping piece portion 38 is more than the front plate 9. Since the towel 13 sandwiched between the second sandwiching piece 38 and the first sandwiching piece 39 is bent at the upper end of the second sandwiching piece 38 and hangs down, the towel 13 is raised. Thus, when the drawer 8 on the lower side of the kitchen counter 1 is opened, the hanging towel 13 does not get in the way. Further, the user can wipe the kitchen knife and the chopsticks during the cooking operation using the upper surface of the towel 13 in the mountain folded state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C and FIG. 8A, an engaging claw 44a that can be engaged with the rear end of the upper edge of the front plate 9 is formed at the front end of the first clamping piece 39. The elastically deformable engaging pieces 44 are extended toward the back side, and can be fitted to the upper edge of the front plate 9 from above by the engaging pieces 44 and the first sandwiching piece 39. A substantially downward U-shaped attachment portion 40 is formed.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8 (a), while the 3rd hook piece 41 which protrudes diagonally downward toward the 1st clamping piece part 39 is formed in the 2nd clamping piece part 38, The first sandwiching piece portion 39 is formed with two hook pieces 42 protruding obliquely downward between the three hook pieces 41 formed on the second sandwiching piece portion 38. That is, these hook pieces 41 and 42 are provided alternately in the insertion direction of the towel 13 and so that the tip is inclined obliquely downward.
