FIG. 2 is a side view showing an example of a state in which the shower head holder 2 according to the first embodiment holds the shower head 1A. FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of a state in which the shower head holder 2 according to the first embodiment holds the shower head 1A.

- Overview of shower head holder -
The shower head holder 2 in the first embodiment is attached to a wall W of a bathroom or the like, and holds the shower head 1A.

The shower head 1A includes a water spouting part 10 that discharges water, a grip part 11 that can be held by a user, and a connecting part 12 to which a hose or the like can be connected (see FIGS. 1 to 3). The water spouting section 10 includes a water sprinkling plate 13 in which a large number of water sprinkling holes (not shown) are bored. The grip portion 11 is formed narrower than the water spouting portion 10 . The connecting portion 12 is configured to include a threaded groove 14 formed in a spiral shape on the outer circumferential side.

-Shower head holder configuration-
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the shower head holder 2 in the first embodiment.

The shower head holder 2 includes a holding part 3, an adjustment mechanism 4, and a cover part 5 (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 4).

<Holding part>
The holding part 3 holds the water spouting part 10 of the shower head 1A from below, and includes a pair of arm members 30 and 31 (an arm member 30 on the right side in front view and an arm member 31 on the left side in front view). (See Figures 3 and 4). Arm members 30 and 31 are attached to adjustment mechanism 4.

Both the tip end 32 of the arm member 30 and the tip end 33 of the arm member 31 are free ends. For example, the tip portions 32 and 33 may be bent inward and obliquely upward, as shown in FIG. 4, or may be formed to face the front.

The arm members 30 and 31 are spaced apart from each other with an interval narrower than the width of the water spouting part 10. When the grip part 11 of the shower head 1A is inserted between the arm members 30 and 31 and the water spouting part 10 is lowered onto the arm members 30 and 31, the arm members 30 and 31 come into contact with the water spouting part 10 from below. (See Figure 3). That is, the holding part 3 is configured to hold the water spouting part 10 from below by abutting the water spouting part 10 from below with the arm members 30 and 31 .

In this way, since the holding part 3 holds the water spouting part 10 of the shower head 1A from below, wobbling of the water spouting part 10 is suppressed, so that the shower head 1A can be stably held.

Furthermore, by configuring the holding section 3 to include the arm members 30 and 31, the holding section 3 can be realized with a simple structure.

The lower ends 44 and 45 are closed when the user pinches and closes the upper ends 42 and 43 with their fingers, while the lower ends 44 and 45 are closed when the user pushes the upper ends 42 and 43 apart with their fingers. It is designed to open.

Upper end portions 42 and 43 of the rod members 40 and 41 are formed with knob portions 46 and 47 that facilitate finger operation. The knob portions 46 and 47 may be formed into a flat shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 4. Moreover, the knob parts 46 and 47 may be formed integrally with the rod members 40 and 41, or may be formed by attaching a cap or the like made of rubber or the like.

Cutouts 48 and 49 are formed in the rod members 40 and 41 around the shaft member D1, respectively, to allow mutual rotation.

The arm member 30 is attached to the lower end 44 of the rod member 40, and similarly, the arm member 31 is attached to the lower end 45 of the rod member 41 (see FIG. 4). Therefore, by operating the upper ends 42, 43 of the rod members 40, 41 to open and close the lower ends 44, 45, the distance between the arm members 30, 31 can be adjusted.

With the adjustment mechanism 4 as described above, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 can be easily adjusted depending on the size of the shower head 1A.

Further, by configuring the adjustment mechanism 4 to include the rod members 40 and 41, the adjustment mechanism 4 can be realized with a simple structure.

Note that the rod members 40 and 41 in the adjustment mechanism 4 may be connected to each other at the upper end portions 42 and 43, and only the lower end portions 44 and 45 may be openable and closable. In this case, the distance between the arm members 30, 31 can be adjusted by operating the lower end portions 44, 45 of the rod members 40, 41 to open and close them.

<Cover part>
The cover portion 5 includes a base 50 fixed to the wall surface W with a fastening member such as a screw, and a decorative cover 51 attached to the base 50 (see FIG. 4).

The base 50 includes a fastening hole (not shown) for fastening a fastening member, and a shaft hole (not shown) for pivotally supporting the shaft member D1, which is a connecting portion of the rod members 40 and 41 in the adjustment mechanism 4. It is provided.

The decorative cover 51 has an upper end portion 42, 43 and a lower end portion 44, 45 of each of the rod members 40, 41 in the adjustment mechanism 4 projected, while allowing the upper end portions 42, 43 and lower end portions 44, 45 to rotate. Four through holes 52 to 55 are provided. The decorative cover 51 is attached to the base 50 with adhesive or the like, for example.

With the decorative cover 51 as described above, the holding part 3 can be fixed to the wall surface W together with the adjustment mechanism 4, and the appearance of the shower head holder 2 can be improved.

Note that the shower head holder 2 may not include the adjustment mechanism 4 as described above, and for example, the arm members 30 and 31 may be fixed to the cover portion 5 or the like while being separated from each other.

-Modification 1-

In the first modification of the first embodiment described above, the showerhead holder 2 holds the showerhead 1B in which the neck portion 15 is provided between the water spouting portion 10 and the gripping portion 11 (see FIG. 5A).

In the first modification, the holding part 3 holds the neck part 15 of the shower head 1B. The arm members 30 and 31 in the holding part 3 are spaced apart from each other at a distance that allows interference with the width of the neck part 15 of the shower head 1B. When the neck portion 15 of the shower head 1B is inserted between the arm members 30, 31 and lowered onto the arm members 30, 31, the arm members 30, 31 interfere with the neck portion 15. That is, the holding part 3 is configured to hold the neck part 15 by interfering with the neck part 15 with the arm members 30 and 31.

In this way, even when the holding part 3 holds the neck part 15, the wobbling of the water spouting part 10 is suppressed as in the case of the first embodiment, so that the shower head 1B can be stably held. can do.

-Modification 2-
FIG. 5B is a schematic front view showing an example of a state in which the shower head holder 2 according to the second modification of the first embodiment holds the shower head 1C. FIG. 5C is a schematic front view showing another example of the shower head holder 2 holding the shower head 1C in the second modification of the first embodiment.

In the second modification of the first embodiment described above, the showerhead holder 2 holds the showerhead 1C, which is formed so that the width gradually increases from the gripping part 11 to the water spouting part 10 (Fig. 5B reference). The shower head 1C may be formed to have a smooth contour 16 from the grip part 11 to the water spouting part 10, as shown in FIG. 5C.

In the second modification, the holding section 3 holds a portion closer to the water spouting section 10. The arm members 30 and 31 in the holding part 3 are spaced apart from each other at a distance that allows interference with the width of the portion of the shower head 1C near the water spouting part 10. When the shower head 1C is inserted between the arm members 30 and 31 at the portion closer to the grip portion 11 and lowered onto the arm members 30 and 31, the arm members 30 and 31 come to interfere with the portion closer to the water spouting portion 10.

In this way, even if the holding part 3 holds the part close to the water spouting part 10, the wobbling of the water spouting part 10 is suppressed as in the case of the first embodiment, so the shower head 1C can be stabilized. It can be held as follows.

In addition, regardless of which of the above shower heads 1A, 1B, and 1C is to be held, in order to ensure the desired holding force in the holding part 3, the arm members 30 and 31 of the holding part 3 should be placed close to each other. A biasing member or the like may be provided.

In addition, regardless of which of the above shower heads 1A, 1B, and 1C is to be held, the shower head holder 2 is separate from the part held by the holding part 3 in the shower heads 1A, 1B, and 1C. It may also be adapted to hold the part auxiliary.

Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below.

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, regarding the second embodiment, only the points different from the first embodiment described above will be described. For convenience of explanation, the shower head 1A will be described as a typical holding target, but as will be described later, the shower heads 1B and 1C can be held as well.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of a state in which the shower head holder 2 according to the second embodiment holds the shower head 1A. Note that in FIG. 6, illustration of the decorative cover 51 of the cover portion 5 is omitted. Further, in FIG. 6, only one representative positioning hole 56 among the plurality of positioning holes 56 is labeled with a reference numeral in order to avoid complicating the drawing.

In Embodiment 2, the showerhead holder 2 has an adjustment mechanism 4 that causes the adjustment mechanism 4 to adjust the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in response to the load and unloading of the shower head 1A on the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding part 3. 1 interlocking mechanism 6 (see FIG. 6).

<First interlocking mechanism>
The first interlocking mechanism 6 includes a guide groove 60, a biasing member 61, and projections 62, 63 provided in the base 50 of the cover portion 5, and elongated holes 64, 65 provided in the rod members 40, 41 of the adjustment mechanism 4. (See FIG. 6).

The guide groove 60 guides the shaft member D1, which is a connecting portion of the rod members 40 and 41 in the adjustment mechanism 4, in a vertically slidable manner, and is formed in the vertical direction from the center to the lower part of the base 50. .

The biasing member 61 biases the shaft member D1 upward within the guide groove 60, and is composed of, for example, a coil spring.

The protrusions 62 and 63 are arranged symmetrically on the upper part of the base 50 and extend toward the front side. The protrusions 62 and 63 are positioned, for example, by being fitted into two symmetrical positioning holes among the plurality of positioning holes 56 provided laterally in the base 50.

The elongated hole 64 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the rod member 40 and is arranged above the shaft member D1. Similarly, the elongated hole 65 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the rod member 41 and is arranged above the shaft member D1. The rod members 40 and 41 are slidably connected to the projections 62 and 63 through elongated holes 64 and 65.

With the configuration of the first interlocking mechanism 6 described above, the adjustment mechanism 4 performs the interval adjustment operation as follows.

FIG. 7 is a schematic front view showing a state in which the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding part 3 is widened in the second embodiment. FIG. 8 is a schematic front view showing a state in which the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding section 3 is narrowed in the second embodiment.

When the shower head 1A is inserted between the arm members 30 and 31 and lowered onto the arm members 30 and 31, the first interlocking mechanism 6 causes the adjustment mechanism 4 to move the arm members 30 and 31 from the state shown in FIG. 7 to the state shown in FIG. Transition to. Specifically, due to the load received by the arm members 30 and 31 from the shower head 1A, the shaft member D1, which is the connecting portion of the rod members 40 and 41, slides downward along the guide groove 60, and the rod member 40 , 41 slide down the projections 62, 63 along the elongated holes 64, 65. At this time, the angle θ formed by the rod member 40 and the rod member 41 gradually becomes smaller, and the distance between the lower end portions 44 and 45 of the rod members 40 and 41, that is, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 gradually narrows. In this way, the adjustment mechanism 4 narrows the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in response to the load exerted by the shower head 1A on the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding section 3.

The dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the first interlocking mechanism 6 are adjusted so that the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 becomes narrower than the width of the water spouting section 10. As a result, the holding section 3 is able to hold the water spouting section 10 of the shower head 1A from below with the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 narrowed.

On the other hand, when the shower head 1A is pulled out from between the arm members 30 and 31 and the arm members 30 and 31 are released from the load imposed by the shower head 1A, the first interlocking mechanism 6 causes the adjustment mechanism 4 to move between the arm members 30 and 31. 31 from the state shown in FIG. 8 to the state shown in FIG. Specifically, when the shower head 1A unloads, the shaft members D1 of the rod members 40, 41 slide upward along the guide groove 60 by the urging force of the urging member 61, and the rod members 40, 41 protrude. It slides up along the elongated holes 64 and 65 relative to 62 and 63. At this time, the angle θ formed by the rod member 40 and the rod member 41 gradually increases, and the distance between the lower end portions 44 and 45 of the rod members 40 and 41, that is, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 gradually increases. In this way, the adjustment mechanism 4 widens the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in response to the removal of the weight by the shower head 1A from the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding section 3.

With the first interlocking mechanism 6 as described above, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 can be easily adjusted according to the insertion and removal of the shower head 1A.

Note that by adjusting the dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the first interlocking mechanism 6, the shower heads 1B and 1C can be held as well. For example, by fitting the protrusions 62 and 63 in the first interlocking mechanism 6 into two suitable positioning holes among the plurality of positioning holes 56, the angle θ between the rod member 40 and the rod member 41 can be appropriately adjusted. Therefore, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 can be made suitable for the object to be held.

If the dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the first interlocking mechanism 6 are adjusted so that the spacing between the arm members 30 and 31 is narrowed to the extent that they can interfere with the width of the neck part 15, the shower head 1B can be adjusted. Can be retained. Moreover, if the dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the first interlocking mechanism 6 are adjusted so that the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 is narrowed, it can interfere with the width of the part near the water spouting part 10. The shower head 1C can be held.

Note that the first interlocking mechanism 6 is not limited to the above, and may include, for example, a biasing member that biases the lower end portions 44, 45 of the rod members 40, 41 in the opening direction. In this case, the urging force applied to the lower ends 44, 45 may be set to such an extent that the lower ends 44, 45 are allowed to rotate in the closing direction under the load of the shower head 1A.

(Embodiment 3)
Hereinafter, regarding the third embodiment, only the points different from the first embodiment described above will be described.

The rail 82 supports the slide member 83 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and is formed in the vertical direction from the center to the lower part of the base 50.

The slide member 83 includes a body portion 85 that is fitted into the rail 82 and wing portions 86 and 87 that protrude from the body portion 85 on both sides. A groove 88 that opens toward the tip side is formed in the blade portion 86, and the rod member 40 is inserted into the groove 88. Similarly, a groove 89 that opens toward the tip side is formed in the blade portion 87, and the rod member 41 is inserted into the groove 89. The rod members 40, 41 are inserted into the grooves 88, 89 and connected to the blade parts 86, 87 by connecting pins P1, P2 inserted through the elongated holes 80, 81.

The converting member 84 converts the up-and-down motion of the undulating portion 7 into a sliding motion in the up-down direction and slides the slide member 83 in the up-down direction, and one end thereof is connected to the back side of the undulating portion 7 by a shaft member D4. At the same time, the other end portion is connected to the body portion 85 of the slide member 83 by a shaft member D5. The conversion member 84 is rotatable with respect to the undulating portion 7 and the slide member 83 using the shaft members D4 and D5 as pivot points. The converting member 84 rotates with respect to each of the undulating portion 7 and the slide member 83, thereby converting the undulating motion of the undulating portion 7 into a sliding motion in the vertical direction, thereby causing the sliding member 83 to slide in the vertical direction. It has become.

With the configuration of the second interlocking mechanism 8 described above, the adjustment mechanism 4 performs the interval adjustment operation as follows.

FIG. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the undulating portion 7 in an upright state. FIG. 12 is a schematic front view showing a state in which the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding section 3 is widened in the third embodiment. FIG. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the undulating portion 7 is laid down. FIG. 14 is a schematic front view showing a state in which the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding part 3 is narrowed in the third embodiment.

When the shower head 1A is inserted between the arm members 30 and 31, the undulating portion 7 is lowered from the state shown in FIG. 11 to the state shown in FIG. 12 to the state shown in FIG. Specifically, it is as follows. Due to the lowering operation of the undulating section 7, the converting member 84 rotates relative to the undulating section 7 and the slide member 83, respectively, and slides the slide member 83 downward along the rail 82 (see FIGS. 11 and 13). . As the slide member 83 slides downward, the blades 86, 87 slide down along the elongated holes 80, 81 in the rod members 40, 41 and draw the lower ends 44, 45 of the rod members 40, 41 (Fig. 12, see Figure 14). At this time, the angle θ formed by the rod member 40 and the rod member 41 gradually becomes smaller, and the distance between the lower end portions 44 and 45 of the rod members 40 and 41, that is, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 gradually narrows. In this way, the adjustment mechanism 4 narrows the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in response to the load exerted by the shower head 1A on the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding section 3.

On the other hand, when the shower head 1A is pulled out from between the arm members 30 and 31 and the undulating portion 7 rises from the state shown in FIG. 13 to the state shown in FIG. 31 from the state shown in FIG. 14 to the state shown in FIG. 12. Specifically, it is as follows. As the undulating portion 7 rises, the converting member 84 rotates relative to the undulating portion 7 and the slide member 83, and slides the slide member 83 upward along the rail 82 (see FIGS. 11 and 13). . As the slide member 83 slides upward, the blades 86 and 87 push apart the lower ends 44 and 45 of the rod members 40 and 41 while sliding up along the elongated holes 80 and 81 in the rod members 40 and 41 ( (See Figures 12 and 14). At this time, the angle θ formed by the rod member 40 and the rod member 41 gradually increases, and the distance between the lower end portions 44 and 45 of the rod members 40 and 41, that is, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 gradually increases. In this way, the adjustment mechanism 4 widens the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 in response to the load exerted by the shower head 1A on the arm members 30 and 31 in the holding section 3.

With the second interlocking mechanism 8 as described above, the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 can be easily adjusted according to the insertion and removal of the shower head 1A from the arm members 30 and 31.

Note that by adjusting the dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the second interlocking mechanism 8, the shower heads 1B and 1C can be held as well. For example, by changing the connecting position of the rod members 40, 41 and the blade parts 86, 87 to a suitable position, the angle θ formed by the rod member 40 and the rod member 41 can be appropriately adjusted. , 31 can be adjusted depending on the object to be held.

If the dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the second interlocking mechanism 8 are adjusted so that the spacing between the arm members 30 and 31 is narrowed to the extent that they can interfere with the width of the neck part 15, the shower head 1B can be adjusted. Can be retained. Moreover, if the dimensions of each part of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the second interlocking mechanism 8 are adjusted so that the distance between the arm members 30 and 31 is narrowed, it can interfere with the width of the part closer to the water spouting part 10. The shower head 1C can be held.

(Embodiment 4)
Embodiment 4 will be described below. For convenience of explanation, the shower head 1C will be described as a typical holding target, but as will be described later, the shower heads 1A and 1B can be held as well.

FIG. 15 is a schematic side view showing an example of a state in which the shower head holder 2 according to the fourth embodiment holds the shower head 1C. FIG. 16 is a schematic side view showing the shower head holder 2 in Embodiment 4. FIG. 17 is a schematic bottom view showing the shower head holder 2 of FIG. 18. In FIG. 16, arrows indicate the retraction direction of the holding portion 90. In FIG. 17, double-headed arrows indicate the direction in which the opening 34 of the holding portion 3 expands.

In the fourth embodiment, the shower head holder 2 includes a holding section 3 and a pressing section 90 (see FIGS. 15 to 17).

The holding part 3 has an opening 34 that opens on the front side, and is formed in a C-shape as a whole (see FIG. 17). A fastening hole (not shown) for fastening a fastening member is provided on the opposite side of the opening 34 .

The opening size of the opening portion 34 of the holding portion 3 is set to such an extent that it can interfere with a portion of the shower head 1C near the water spouting portion 10.

Note that by setting the opening size of the opening portion 34 of the holding portion 3 to be narrower than the width of the water spouting portion 10, the shower head 1A can be held. Furthermore, if the opening size of the opening 34 of the holding part 3 is set to such an extent that it can interfere with the neck part 15 of the shower head 1B, the shower head 1B can be held.

The holding portion 3 is made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber. As a result, the opening 34, which is the portion into which the shower head 1C is inserted and removed, can be expanded by elastic force, so that the shower head 1C can be easily inserted into and removed from the holding portion 3.

The holding part 90 holds down the water spouting part 10 of the shower head 1C from above, and extends upward from the opposite side of the opening 34 of the holding part 3 and is curved in the front direction (FIGS. 15 to 17). reference). The holding part 90 presses the water spouting part 10 from above by coming into contact with the upper surface of the water spouting part 10 of the shower head 1C while the showerhead holder 2 holds the showerhead 1C.

The holding portion 90 is made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber, for example. Thereby, when the shower head 1C is inserted or removed, the holding part 90 can be retracted by the elastic force, so that the shower head 1C can be easily inserted or removed from the holding part 3. The holding portion 90 may be configured integrally with the holding portion 3 or may be configured separately from the holding portion 3.

Since the holding portion 90 as described above further suppresses wobbling of the water spouting portion 10 of the shower head 1C, the shower head 1C can be held more stably.

FIG. 19 is a schematic front view showing the shower head holder 2 in Embodiment 5. The thick lines in FIG. 18 and the hatching in FIG. 19 conceptually indicate the anti-slip portion 92.

In the fifth embodiment, the shower head holder 2 does not include the holding part 90 in the fourth embodiment, but includes a back surface part 91 that is fixed to the wall W (see FIGS. 18 and 19).

A non-slip portion 92 is provided at a portion of the back surface portion 91 that comes into contact with the back surface of the water spouting portion 10 of the shower head 1C. For example, the anti-slip portion 92 may be composed of a large number of anti-slip protrusions, or when the back surface portion 91 is made of a synthetic resin material, it may be composed of a rubber sheet such as silicone rubber. .

By providing the anti-slip portion 92 as described above, wobbling of the water spouting portion 10 of the shower head 1C is further suppressed, so that the shower head 1C can be held more stably.
