By the way, this type of rod holder is usually left in place with the rod holder protruding from the wall, without removing it from the wall, even when the clothesline is not in use. .
If a shaft is interposed between the base and the rod holder as in Patent Document 1, the amount of protrusion from the wall of the rod holder will increase by the diameter of the shaft, so the rod will not be able to hold the rod even when not in use. There is a problem that clothes get caught in the receiver and get in the way.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the amount of protrusion from the wall surface of a rod holder whose rod holder part can be rotated in a swinging manner, so that clothing can get caught and get in the way when not in use. The goal is to prevent

In order to solve the above problems, a rod holder according to the invention includes a rod holder that can support the end of a clothesline, and a base that is fixed along a wall surface of a room or the like. has a bottom plate, a pair of side plates rising from the left and right edges of the bottom plate, and a back plate rising from the rear edge of the bottom plate and curved in an arc shape in a plan view to connect the pair of side plates, the bottom plate, the pair of side plates The end of a clothesline can be stored in a storage space that is partitioned by side plates and a back plate and has an open front and top surface, and the base includes a lower plate that faces the bottom plate of the rod holder, and The rod holder has a rear plate that rises from a rear edge and faces the back plate of the rod holder, and a rod holder holder that hangs down into the housing space through an opening on the top surface of the rod holder, and the rod holder holder The rear plate elastically sandwiches the back plate of the rod holder from the front and rear, thereby holding the rod holder rotatably in the left-right direction.

In this way, by adopting a structure in which the back plate of the rod holder is sandwiched from the front and back between the rod holder presser and the rear plate of the base, the rod holder and the base are directly connected, so that both There is no need for a shaft to connect the
Therefore, compared to the case where the rod holder and the base are connected via a shaft, the amount of protrusion of the rod holder from the wall surface can be reduced, and when the rod holder is not in use, clothing may get caught and get in the way. It is possible to prevent this from happening.

In the rod holder according to the invention, a bottom plate of the rod holder is formed with an arc-shaped guide hole that curves along the back plate, and a lower end of the rod holder of the base is provided with a guide hole for holding the rod. It is preferable to adopt a structure in which a guide protrusion is formed to be inserted into a guide hole in the bottom plate of the receiving part.

In this way, by adopting a configuration in which the guide hole and the guide protrusion fit together, the connection between the rod receiving part and the base is strengthened. Furthermore, since the guide protrusion is guided along the guide hole, the rod holder can be rotated smoothly. Furthermore, as the guide protrusion comes into contact with the left and right ends of the arc-shaped guide hole, the rotation range of the rod holder is restricted, causing the rod holder to rotate excessively to an unintended range, causing the clothesline to hang out. Situations such as falling off are prevented.

In the rod holder according to the invention, it is preferable that a surface of the rod holder of the base, which faces the back plate of the rod holder, be curved in an arc shape.

With this configuration, when the rod holder is swung, the opposing surfaces of the back plate and the rod holder of the base do not catch on each other, allowing smooth rotational operation.
Furthermore, the gap between the opposing surfaces can be made smaller than when the opposing surfaces of the rod holder presser of the base and the back plate of the rod holder are flat. As a result, it is possible to suppress the amount of protrusion of the rod holder from the wall surface.

In the rod holder according to the invention, the bottom plate of the rod holder is flat, and the top surface of the bottom plate is provided with a plurality of ribs with which the ends of the clothesline rods stored in the storage space come into contact. It is preferable to adopt

In cases where the bottom plate of the rod holder is curved in an arc shape, the length of the rod holder in the vertical direction is the highest point of the curved bottom plate so that the rod holder of the base does not get caught on the bottom plate. It is necessary to match. Therefore, the length of the rod holder is inevitably shortened, and the force for pinching the back plate of the rod holder becomes insufficient, which may result in the rod holder being unintentionally detached from the base.
By making the bottom plate of the rod holder part flat, the height of the bottom plate is uniform, so the length of the rod holder presser in the vertical direction can be increased, and sufficient clamping force can be maintained.
On the other hand, if the bottom plate of the rod holder is flat, the outer surface will come into line contact with the end of the cylindrical clothesline, causing the clothesline to roll around in the storage space, resulting in unstable support. There is a risk. By adopting a configuration in which a plurality of ribs are provided on the bottom plate, the ribs can support the clothesline at a plurality of locations, thereby stabilizing the support state.

Since the rod holder according to the invention is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the rod holder from protruding largely from the wall surface when the rod holder is not in use.
