Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Use This invention relates to a fabric hook for hand towels that is installed in a washroom or the like to hang towels, hand towels, etc.

Conventional Technology Towel racks have traditionally been provided in washrooms, toilets, etc. As this traditional towel rack,
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, there is a known towel rack 1 which is bent into a U-shape with approximately the same width as a towel T and has both ends screwed to a wall surface. In addition, as shown in Figure 9, the storage capacity is improved.
One side 2 of the towel rack 2 formed in the shape of a triangular frame
a is parallel to the wall surface W, and is mounted rotatably about the one side 2a as an axis, and when in use, the triangular frame-shaped portion is rotated so as to be approximately perpendicular to the wall surface, thereby forming a triangular frame. A towel T is inserted and held inside the towel, and when not in use, the triangular frame part is rotated to a position parallel to the wall surface W, so that the towel sticks closely to the wall surface W and the amount of protrusion is reduced. Kake 2 is known.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when towels are hung folded in half on the conventional towel rack 1 mentioned above, one end of the towels is pulled downward when wiping hands, or one end of the towel hangs down considerably. Then, there is a problem that the towel T comes off and falls, and a wall surface with the same width as the towel T is required as a mounting location, which limits the mounting location. Also, the latter towel rack 2
This has the advantage that it is compact and can be installed anywhere, and when not in use it can be placed close to the wall so that it does not get in the way. There was a problem that if the ends were too droopy, they would come off.

This idea was devised under the above circumstances,
To provide a hand-wiping cloth hanger that can easily and reliably prevent the hand-wiping cloth from falling off.

Means for Solving the Problems As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the fabric hanger for cleaning hands of this invention includes a mounting member that is attached to a fixed part such as a wall surface, and an arm member that extends upward from the mounting member. and a fitting member that loosely fits onto the outer periphery of the tip of the arm member and clamps a cloth-like product such as a towel hung on the tip of the arm member between the outer periphery of the tip side of the arm member. It is said that

Further, in this invention, the arm member and the fitting member are arranged such that the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the distal end of the arm member and the inner circumferential surface of the fitting member is wide on the side closer to the attachment member and narrower on the opposite side. The arm member can be constructed so that the arm member is loosely fitted in a relatively eccentric manner, and the tip end of the arm member is deflectable.

Further, in this invention, the hinge connecting the fitting member to the arm member side can be provided with a stopper mechanism for fixing the fitting member at a position away from the outer periphery of the distal end of the arm member.

Effect By configuring as described above, a cloth-like product such as a towel is hung on the tip of the arm member extending upward, and a fitting member is placed around the outer periphery of the tip of the arm member from above the cloth-like product. When fitted, the towel or the like is held between the fitting member and the tip of the arm member, and therefore, even if the towel or the like is pulled downward when wiping hands, the towel or the like is prevented from coming off. Further, when removing the towel or the like, by moving the fitting member upward, the clamping between the fitting member and the tip of the arm member is released, and the towel can be removed.

The arm member and the fitting member are arranged relative to each other such that the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the tip of the arm member and the inner circumferential surface of the fitting member is wide on the side closer to the mounting member and narrower on the opposite side. If the tip of the arm member is configured to flex, the tip of the arm will flex when the end of a towel or the like is pulled downward, causing the tip of the arm member to fit loosely with the fitting member. This increases the force that holds towels and the like.

Furthermore, if the hinge that connects the fitting member to the arm member side is provided with a stopper mechanism that stops the fitting member at a position away from the outer periphery of the tip of the arm member, it is possible to attach and remove towels, etc. from the tip of the hook member. becomes easier.

Examples In the following, examples in which the cloth hanger for drying hands of this invention is applied to towel hooks are shown in Figures 1 and 7.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

Figures 1 and 2 show a towel hook according to a first embodiment of this invention.
1 includes a vertically long mounting part 12 to be mounted on a wall surface, an arm-shaped hook part 13 with a circular cross section that protrudes from approximately the center of this mounting part 12 and extends upward while curving, and a hinge at the upper end of the mounting part 12. It has a stopper ring 15 which is a fitting member attached via a stopper ring 14. Further, the hook portion 1
At the tip of 3, a bullet-shaped rubber cap 16 is provided oriented substantially vertically (in a direction parallel to the mounting portion 12).

Then, attach the stopper ring 15 to the hinge 1
When the cap portion 16 provided at the tip of the hook portion 13 is rotated using the portion 4 as a fulcrum and loosely fitted to the tip side of the hook portion 13, the cap portion 16 provided at the tip of the hook portion 13 is fitted to a position outward from the center of the stopper ring 15. (See Figure 2).

The stopper ring 15 attached by the hinge 14 is loosely fitted to the outer periphery of the tip of the hook portion 13 (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1).
A stopper mechanism 17 is provided which stops the tip in the position shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, this stopper mechanism 17 includes a hinge 14 provided on the stopper ring
The cam 1 is provided at the base end of the cam 1 and is rotatable about a shaft supported horizontally on the upper part of the mounting part 12.
8 and an L-shaped spring claw 19 provided on the mounting portion 12 side.
The convex portion 19a formed on the tip side of the cam 1
The stopper ring 15 is engaged with the first recess 18a formed on the outer circumferential portion of the hook 13 to stop the stopper ring 15 at a position upwardly removed from the tip of the hook portion 13 (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3). Further, the convex portion 19a engages with the second concave portion 18b of the cam 18, and the stopper ring 15 is stopped at a position where it fits into the outer periphery of the distal end of the hook portion 13. Also, cam 18
A stepped portion 18c formed on the outer circumferential portion of
8b, the stopper ring 15 is engaged with the upper end edge of the attachment portion 12 to restrict further downward rotation of the stopper ring 15.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

The towel T is attached to the hook part 13 of the towel hook 11.
By fitting the stopper ring 15 onto the outer periphery of the tip of the hook part 13 from above this towel T, this stopper ring 15
The towel T is held between the rubber cap 16 provided at the tip of the hook portion 13, and the towel T is prevented from slipping due to its own weight (see Fig. 1).

Further, when the towel T is pulled downward when wiping hands, etc., the rubber cap 16 is bent due to the frictional force between the towel T and the towel T, and the towel T is pulled around the outer periphery of the cap 16 at the tip of the hook part 13. It is held even more tightly between the Therefore, downward movement of the towel T is restricted and it is prevented from coming off the hook portion 13. In that case, the rubber cap 16
Since it is arranged eccentrically in the direction in which it is bent by the towel T, it holds the towel T more strongly.

In addition, when hanging or removing the towel T from the hook part 13, it is preferable to place the stopper ring 15 at a position away from the outer periphery of the tip of the hook part 13. Since the purl ring 15 can be held in a so-called retracted position, it is easy to attach and detach the towel.

In addition, in this invention, the so-called fitting member that cooperates with the hook member to prevent the towel T from falling off is not limited to the above-mentioned stopper ring 15, and various shapes can be adopted. .
An example of this is as follows.

That is, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the fitting member is a C-shaped stopper 25 formed in a C-shape. This C-shaped stopper 25 has a semicircular arc shape as a whole as shown in FIG. The hinge 24 rotates between the position indicated by the solid line and the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure.
It is connected to the attachment part 22 by. It is preferable that the hinge 24 be equipped with the stopper mechanism 17 described above. Also,
The relative position of the hook part 23 and the C-shaped stopper 25 is such that when the two are fitted together (the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 4), the tip of the hook part 23 is on the mounting part 22 side with respect to the inner surface of the C-shaped stopper 25. It is set to be eccentric to the opposite side. This is because the towel T is normally pulled in the eccentric direction or diagonally downward.

Even with the structure shown in FIG. 4, the towel T is sandwiched between the hook portion 23 and the C-shaped stopper 25 to prevent it from falling off. The rubber cap 16 provided at the tip of the towel T is bent to more firmly sandwich the towel T with the C-shaped stopper 25, thus preventing the towel T from falling off in this case as well.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the fitting member is a cup-shaped stopper 35. Since the friction surface with the T is wider, the towel T is better prevented from falling off.

Further, FIGS. 6 and 7 show a fourth embodiment of this invention, and like the previous embodiments, this towel hook 41 has a wall attachment part 42 and an upper part that protrudes from the attachment part 42. It is provided with a hook portion 43 that extends while being curved. At the tip of the hook portion 43, a widened tip portion 43a is formed with a substantially rectangular cross section and widened in a horizontal direction parallel to the wall surface to which the hook portion 43 is attached. Further, an annular stopper 45 that loosely fits around the outer periphery of the widened end portion 43a is attached to the upper end of the attachment portion 42 via a hinge 44. Further, a rubber ring 45a is fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the annular stopper 45 (see FIG. 7).

Therefore, in the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the towel T is hung on the wide end portion 43a of the towel hook 41, and the annular stopper 45 is fitted over the towel T to the outside of the wide end portion 43a. By fitting the towel T together, the towel T is held between the rubber ring 45a provided on the inner periphery of the annular stopper 45 and the outer peripheral surface of the widened end portion 43a of the hook portion 43, thereby preventing the towel T from slipping. At the same time, when the towel T is pulled downward when wiping hands or the like, it is more strongly clamped between the rubber ring 45a on the inner peripheral surface of the annular stopper 45. Therefore, downward movement of the towel T is restricted and it is prevented from coming off the hook portion 43.

As the hinge 44, it is preferable to use one equipped with the stopper mechanism 17 described above. Further, the rod-shaped portion on the base end side of the hook portion 43 is made elastic, so that when the towel T hung on the hook portion 43 is pulled, the widened end portion 43a approaches the annular stopper 45, and the towel It can also be constructed so that the T is more strongly clamped.

Furthermore, when removing the towel T from the towel hook 41, the annular stopper 45 is rotated upward to release the grip between the annular stopper 45 and the tip of the hook portion 43, as in each of the above embodiments. Remove from.

In each of the above embodiments, the case where the stopper ring 15, the C-shaped stopper 25, the cup-shaped stopper 35, and the annular stopper 45 are attached via the hinges 14, 24, 34, and 44 will be explained. , instead of a hinge, a chain or string may be used to connect to the attachment portions 12, 22, 32, 42. Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments,
Although a case has been described in which a towel is used as the cloth for wiping hands, similar effects can be obtained when other cloths such as a towel are hung.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, in the fabric hanger for hand-wiping according to this invention, the fitting member is further fitted to the fabric such as a towel hung on the tip of the arm member, so that the fabric is bent between the two. It is reliably prevented from being pinched and falling off from the arm member. Also, if a flexible member such as rubber is provided at the tip of the arm member,
By pulling the fabric, the flexible member flexes, and as a result, the fabric is more tightly sandwiched between the arm member and the fitting member, thereby preventing the fabric from falling off due to being pulled. If a hinge with a stopper mechanism is used to connect the fitting member to the mounting part, the fitting member can be fixed at a position away from the tip of the arm member, making it easy to attach and remove towels, etc. Can be done.
