  By the way, when the hook is put on the top end of the wall-shaped object from above and hooked with the top end sandwiched from both sides in the thickness direction (width direction), the thickness (width) of the top of the wall-shaped object is Since it has various dimensions rather than uniform, there is a demand for the development of a hook that can be hooked with the same hook on top ends having different thicknesses. For example, the one shown in FIG. 10 is considered.

  10 (a) and 10 (b) both include a first member 101, 111 on which a supported portion for supporting a support object (not shown) is formed, and the first member. It is comprised with the 2nd member 102,115 attached to the member 101,111 so that a mutual space | interval can be changed. In FIG. 10A, the extending portion 104 extends from the upper end of the supported portion of the first member 101 arranged along the one side surface 103 of the wall-like object over the top end portion 105 in the width direction. One side portion 106 of the L-shaped second member 102 is placed against the other side surface 107 of the wall-like object while the extension portion 104 is placed on the other side of the second member 102. The first member 101 and the second member 102 are fixed to each other by being inserted into the portion 108 and tightened with a thumbscrew 109 and sandwiched from above and below. In FIG. 10B, the extending portion 112 extends from the upper end of the supported portion of the first member 111 disposed along the one side surface 103 of the wall-like object to the other side in the width direction. After extending to the side, the locking portion 113 is bent downward. Then, in a state where a plurality of slits 114, 114,... For inserting the locking portion 113 are applied to the other side surface 107 of the wall-shaped object with the second member 115 formed at each position in the width direction. The locking portion 113 is press-fitted into the slit 114 at the corresponding position from above, and the first member 111 and the second member 115 are fixed to each other.

  However, in both cases of FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), even if the thickness (width) of the top end portion to be hooked is different, it can be changed according to the width, but in FIG. 10 (a). In the thing, the front-end | tip of the extension part 104 protrudes in the side of the other side surface 107 of a wall-shaped object part, and also in FIG.10 (b), the 2nd member by which this locking part 113 was inserted. Similarly, 115 protrudes toward the other side surface 107. In particular, when the wall-like object is a bathtub wall and the top end is a bathtub flange (tub edge), the presence of protrusions is inconvenient for bathers and the interior of the bathroom is complicated. Problem arises.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to be able to be hooked regardless of the thickness of the top end portion of the wall-like object to be hooked, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a hook that can prevent protrusions from being present.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the following specific matters are provided for a hook for hooking in a state of straddling the top end of a wall-like object. That is, the first member having an upwardly extending portion that can contact one side with the top end portion of the wall-shaped object sandwiched therebetween, and the other member can contact with the other side of the top end portion of the wall-shaped object. A second member, and the first member and the second member are connected to each other such that the top end portion of the wall-like object can be sandwiched from the one side surface and the other side surface and the sandwiching width can be changed. It is to be composed of.

According to this specific matter, if the hook is hooked over the top end portion of the wall-like object, the top end portion of the wall-like object is sandwiched between the first member and the second member constituting the hook. On the other hand, the first member and the second member are connected to each other so that the holding width can be changed, so that the top end portions having different thicknesses are also held as described above. It is possible to hook with.

In addition, in the present invention, as the first member, a laterally extending portion that extends from the upper end of the upwardly extending portion toward the other side of the top end portion of the wall-like object, and the lateral direction A rod-shaped locking portion having a circular cross section extending in a direction orthogonal to the clamping width direction from the extending portion, and as the second member, on the other side surface with the top end portion of the wall-like object sandwiched therebetween One side that can be contacted, another side that bends substantially perpendicularly from one end of the one side, and at least the other side that extends in a direction perpendicular to the clamping width direction so that the locking portion can be attached and detached. and that a plurality of locking grooves for locking the plurality of engaging grooves as being disposed at a predetermined distance relative to the clamping width direction (claim 1). By doing in this way, the top end portion of the wall-like object is formed by the upwardly extending portion and the one side portion by locking the locking portion of the first member in the locking groove of the second member. The first member and the second member can be connected to each other in the sandwiched state. On the other hand, it is possible to change the clamping width by removing the locking portion locked in a certain locking groove and locking it in another locking groove. For this reason, the first member can be changed. It is possible to specify a specific configuration that connects the second member and the second member so that the sandwiching width can be changed.

As the second member of the present invention, one of the one side portion and the other side portion is set longer than the other, and has a shape bent into an L shape by the long side portion and the short side portion, and those The plurality of locking grooves may be formed in each of the long side portion and the short side portion (Claim 2 ). By doing in this way, in a state where the long side portion is in contact with the other side surface of the top end portion of the wall-like object, the first member is inserted into any of the plurality of locking grooves formed on the short side portion. When the locking portion is locked, the arrangement of the long side portion and the short side portion is reversed and the short side portion is in contact with the other side surface of the top end portion of the wall-like object. In the case where the locking portion of the first member is locked in any of the plurality of locking grooves formed in the long side portion, the locking portion is simply moved to another adjacent locking groove. Therefore, the change degree of the holding width can be made larger than the change degree of the holding width. Thereby, the top end part of the wall-shaped target object of a wider thickness range can be made into the hook object.

Further, each engaging groove of said, can be formed on the side of the inner surface of the second member (claim 3). By doing so, a plurality of locking grooves are opened in the inner surface that comes into contact with the top end portion and the other side surface of the wall-like object, and the friction coefficient with respect to the other side surface of the top end portion is increased. Accordingly, the adhesion of the second member is also increased.

Further, the locking groove is opened at the surface of the second member so that the locking portion enters, and the locking portion is held by being disposed at a depth position of the introducing portion. And a stopper portion for preventing the locking portion held by the holding portion between the prevention portion and the introduction portion from coming off to the introduction portion side. (Claim 4 ). By doing so, if the locking portion of the first member is pushed in from the introduction portion of the locking groove of the second member to get over the stopper portion and reach the holding portion, the locking portion is moved by the stopper portion. It is possible to prevent the locking part from coming off the holding part by being prevented from coming off. As a result, the first member and the second member can be firmly connected to each other and integrated.

And as said locking groove, two adjacent locking grooves can be arrange | positioned at 7.0 mm-10 mm pitch (Claim 5 ). By doing in this way, when hooking a hook with a bathtub flange as a wall-like object, it can be set as the optimal hook which can be hooked by changing the clamping width with respect to the top end part of the bathtub flange of various thickness ranges.

  As described above, according to the hook of the present invention, if the hook is hooked over the top end portion of the wall-like object, the first member and the second member constituting the hook are used as a wall. While the top end portion of the object can be sandwiched, the sandwiching width can be changed between the first member and the second member. It can be hooked while being held.

In particular, according to the present invention , the top end portion of the wall-like object is sandwiched between the upwardly extending portion and one side portion by locking the locking portion of the first member in the locking groove of the second member. In this state, the first member and the second member can be connected to each other, while the locking portion locked in a certain locking groove is removed and locked to another locking groove. Thus, the clamping width can be changed, whereby the specific configuration for connecting the first member and the second member so that the clamping width can be changed can be specified.

According to claim 2 , the second member has a shape bent into an L shape by the long side portion and the short side portion, and a plurality of engagements are provided for each of the long side portion and the short side portion. By assuming that the stop groove is formed, if the arrangement of the long side part and the short side part is replaced, the lock part is simply placed in another lock groove adjacent to either the long side part or the short side part. The degree of change of the clamping width can be made larger than when moving. As a result, the hook can be used with the top end portions of various wall-like objects having a wider thickness range being hooked.

According to claim 3 , by forming each locking groove on the inner surface side of the second member, a plurality of locking grooves are formed on the inner surface that comes into contact with the top end portion or the other side surface of the wall-like object. Will be opened, and the adhesion of the second member can be increased as the coefficient of friction against the other side surface of the top end increases.

According to the fourth aspect, when the locking portion of the first member is pushed in from the introduction portion of the locking groove of the second member to get over the stopper portion and reach the holding portion, the locking portion is moved by the stopper portion. Since it is prevented from coming off, it is possible to make it difficult for the locking portion to come off the holding portion. As a result, the first member and the second member can be firmly connected to each other and integrated.

According to the fifth aspect, by disposing two adjacent locking grooves at a pitch of 7.0 mm to 10 mm as the locking grooves, various thicknesses can be obtained when the hook is hooked with the bathtub flange as a wall-like object. A hook that can be hooked by changing the clamping width with respect to the top end portion of the bathtub flange in the range can be optimized.

Hereinafter, as an embodiment of the hook, a case will be described in which a special mist head as described later is supported on the inner side of the bathtub with respect to a wall edge (tub flange) constituting the bathtub. That is, the case where the wall-like object is the bathtub flange and the supported object is a mist head will be described below. In addition to supporting a bathroom tool such as a mist head and using it in the bathroom as a use, in order to support a supported object other than the bathroom tool, any wall-like object in the living room of the house is used. You may make it use by hooking or hooking on the window frame of the state which opened the window.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the hook 1 includes a wire member 2 as a first member and an attachment 3 as a second member. The wire member 2 is bent and formed into a predetermined shape using a wire material. A support portion 21 that protrudes forward to support the mist head and a top end of the support portion 21 are continuously provided. An upwardly extending portion 22 extending upward, a laterally extending portion 23 bent laterally from the upwardly extending portion 22 and extending laterally, and a locking portion 24 disposed at the rear end of the laterally extending portion 23, It consists of The attachment 3 has an attachment main body 31 that has a predetermined width and is bent in an L shape in a side view, and a plurality of locking grooves 32, 32 formed in parallel with each other on the inner surface side of the attachment main body 31. ... and.

  The support portion 21 is bent according to the shape of the supported object to be supported by the support portion 21. As such a shape, normally, if the supported object is placed or inserted from above, the supported object is supported so that the supported object does not fall any more, and it is tilted forward so as not to fall. In addition, it may be bent and formed in a shape along the lower periphery of the supported object. If the mist head 4 exemplified in the present embodiment (see FIG. 2) is used as a support, the support portion 21 is formed so as to be bent so that the bottom side of the mist head 4 is mainly sandwiched from both sides. Good. Specifically, the mist head 4 includes a conical or trapezoidal mist head main body 41, and disk-shaped head portions 42 and 42 connected so as to protrude in two directions from the front end side of the mist head main body 41. The support portion 21 has two upper and lower projecting arms 211 and 212 on each side so as to sandwich the bottom side of the mist head main body 41 in a state where the mist head body 41 is tilted sideways (see FIG. 3 in addition to FIG. 2). It is formed to have. The distance between the lower protruding arms 212, 212 on both sides is narrower than the distance between the upper protruding arms 211, 211, and the mist head body 41 is placed between the protruding arms 211, 212, 211, 212 on both sides. By plugging in, you will be supported so that it will not fall any further.

  The upward extending portion 22 is composed of a pair of wire material portions that are bent from the bases of the upper protruding arms 211 and 211 on both sides and extend upward, and the laterally extending portion 23 is also substantially perpendicular to the upper end of the upward extending portion 22. It is composed of a pair of wire material portions that are bent and extend sideways. And the latching | locking part 24 is comprised by the wire raw material part which connects the front-end | tip of a pair of wire raw material part which comprises the sideways extension part 23 mutually. Here, the first member constituting the hook 1 of the present invention is not limited to the wire member 2 described above, and at least the locking portion 24 is formed of a round bar-shaped member (for example, a wire material) having a circular cross section. For example, the other parts (support part 21, upwardly extending part 22, laterally extending part 23) do not need to be formed of wire material, and these other parts 21, 22, and 23 are formed of plate material or synthetic resin. You may form by goods.

  The attachment 3 is formed by resin molding using a synthetic resin such as silicon or urethane having a hardness of about 90, for example. The attachment main body 31 is formed in an L shape from a long side portion 311 bent substantially at a right angle so as to correspond to a corner portion of the bathtub flange 5 (see FIG. 2) to be hooked, and a short side portion 312. Yes. 4, two or more locking grooves 32, 32,... Are formed on the inner surface 313 of the long side portion 311 and the inner surface 314 of the short side portion 312 respectively. Each locking groove 32 opens to each inner surface 313, 314 and extends to the outer surface 315, 316 side, a holding portion 322 disposed at a position offset from the extending direction of the introducing portion 321, A stopper portion 323 that serves as a retainer by bending obliquely laterally so as to communicate the back end of the introduction portion 321 toward the holding portion 322. The holding portion 322 has a diameter equal to or slightly larger than the diameter d of the locking portion 24 of the wire member, and both the opening width m1 of the introduction portion 321 and the passage width m2 of the stopper portion 323 are the diameter d of the locking portion 24. Narrower dimensions are set. The passage width m2 of the stopper portion 323 may be slightly narrower than the opening width m1. As described above, the locking portion 24 is pushed in from the introduction portion 321 using the elasticity of the material of the attachment 3, and further pushed into the back so as to get over the stopper portion 323 and be inserted into the holding portion 322. 2 and the attachment 3 are connected and integrated with each other in a state where they can rotate around the central axis X of the locking portion 24. The distance between the inner surface 313 of the long side portion 311 of the attachment 3 and the upward extending portion 22 of the wire member 2 is the holding width Y1 for the object to be hooked by the hook 1.

  Here, when the example of a specific dimension of the attachment 3 is given, when the width of the bathtub flange 5 is targeted for a range of 50 to 110 mm, the length of the long side portion 311 is 80 mm, and the length of the short side portion is 60 mm. The thickness of the short side portion 311 and the short side portion 312 is 10 mm, the diameter of the holding portion 322 of the locking groove 32 is 3.6 mm, the opening width of the introducing portion 321 is 3.0 mm, and the locking grooves 32 adjacent to each other. , 32 may be arranged at a pitch of 7.0 mm to 10 mm.

  To hook the bathtub flange 5 onto the bathtub flange 5 to support the mist head, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the locking portion 24 of the wire member 2 is connected to the short side portion 312 of the attachment 3. The hook member 1 is assembled by connecting the wire member 2 and the attachment 3 to each other by being pushed into the predetermined locking groove 32. At this time, the locking groove 32 into which the locking portion 24 is pushed is selected so as to have a holding width Y1 (see FIG. 4) equivalent to the thickness (width) of the bathtub flange 5 to be hooked. Next, the hook 1 is hooked on the bathtub flange 5 from above. Specifically, the hook 1 is covered from above so that the top end portion 51 of the bathtub flange 5 enters between the long side portion 311 of the attachment 3 and the upward extending portion 22 of the wire member 2, and the short side of the attachment 3 The inner surface 314 of the portion 312 and the laterally extending portion 23 of the wire member 2 are brought into contact with the top end portion 51 of the bathtub flange 5. In this state (see also FIG. 2), the upwardly extending portion 22 of the wire member 2 abuts on the inner surface 52 of the bathtub flange 5, while the inner surface 313 of the long side portion 311 of the attachment 3 is outside the bathtub flange 5. The hook 1 is hooked on the bathtub flange 5 with the bathtub flange 5 sandwiched between the inner surface 313 of the attachment 3 and the upward extending portion 22 of the wire member 2. Then, the mist head main body 41 of the mist head 4 that has been laid down from above on the support portion 21 of the wire member 2 is inserted so that the mist head 4 is supported by the support portion 21. As a result, the mist head 4 is supported on the inner surface side of the bathtub flange 5 via the hook 1 (see also FIG. 6).

  In the case of the hook 1 described above, the mist head 4 that is a support target is supported on the front side of the hook 1 and can be hooked and temporarily fixed to the bathtub flange 5 to be hooked over the top end portion 51. . At that time, the outer surface 315 of the long side portion 311 of the attachment 3 is present on the rear side of the hook 1, that is, the outer side of the bathtub flange 5, thereby eliminating the presence of protrusions toward the outside of the bathtub. Can do. In addition, since a plurality of locking grooves 32, 32,... Are formed on the inner surface 313 of the long side portion 311 of the attachment 3 that abuts the outer surface of the bathtub flange 5, the friction of the forming material is also added to the bathtub. It comes into close contact with the outer surface 52 of the flange 5 and plays a role of increasing the hooking force of the hook 1. Further, since the locking portion 24 of the wire member 2 is held by the holding portion 322 in a state in which the locking portion 24 of the wire member 2 is retained by the stopper portion 323 in each locking groove 32 of the attachment 3, the connection between the wire member 2 and the attachment 3 is performed. Power can be made more certain.

  And when it wants to hook on the bathtub flange etc. of the width different from the bathtub flange 5, it pulls out the latching | locking part 24 of the wire member 2 from the latching groove 32 of the attachment 3 against the elastic restoring force of the raw material. The locking groove 32 at a position corresponding to the width of the new hooking object is selected, and the locking groove 32 may be pushed again. Using this, it may be hooked by the same operation as described above on a bathtub flange or the like to be hooked. In that case, when it is impossible to make the holding groove 32, 32,... Of the short side portion 312 have a holding width corresponding to the width of the new hooked object, as shown in FIG. The positional relationship between the long side portion 311 and the short side portion 312 is reversed so that the long side portion 311 faces the top end portion 51 of the bathtub flange 5, and the locking grooves 32, 32 of the long side portion 311 are arranged. ,... May be selected to lock the locking portion 24 of the wire member 2. By doing so, the holding width of the hook 1 can be increased from Y1 in the case of FIG. 4 to Y2 in the case of FIG. 7 at the maximum.

  Further, when the hook 1 is used, when the mist head 4 or the hook 1 is not used, the hook 1 is hooked on the towel hanger 6 while the mist head 4 is supported as illustrated in FIG. It can be set aside and is easy to use. That is, the attachment 3 is passed through between the side wall 61 of the towel hanger 6 and the wall 7, and the bent portion of the boundary between the upwardly extending portion 22 and the laterally extending portion 23 of the wire member 2 Just hook it up.
