Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a towel rack having a curved rod-shaped body on which a towel is hung.

<Prior art> Conventional towel racks include straight rod types with support at both ends, as well as curved rod-shaped rods with triangular, semicircular, rectangular, oblate elliptical, etc. ends for hanging towels. Some devices are rotatably attached to the case and have a mounting member fixed to the wall fitted from below to a rod hanging vertically inside the case. The feature of this type is that the case and the mounting member are connected by insertion, and even when connecting the curved rod-shaped body and the case, the distance between both ends can be easily pushed apart against the elasticity of the curved rod-shaped body, and the distance between the two ends can be easily expanded. The ease of assembly is that both ends of the curved rod-shaped body can be easily attached to the holes drilled in the case due to the elastic restoring force caused by the release.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In the conventional structure described above, as long as the mounting member is securely attached to the wall surface, the downward force acting on the case through the curved rod-like body is absorbed by the mounting member. Since then, I have never had a case come loose and come off. However, when an upward force is applied to the case through the curved rod when changing the towel, etc., there is a problem that the case may slip out and come off because the structure is not designed to absorb this upward force. Ta.

The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the case from coming off even if an upward force is applied to the case.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides a towel rack having the above-described structure, in which both ends of the curved rod-like body are disposed below the bulging base of the mounting member, and the bulging base of the mounting member It is a combination of

<Function> Both ends of the curved rod-shaped body located below the bulging base of the mounting member and overlapping with the bulging base of the mounting member are attached to the bulging base of the mounting member when the case is moved upward by an upward force. The end of the curved rod-like body collides with the lower surface of the bulging base of the attachment member, making it impossible to move any further. In other words, the case is prevented from coming off upwards.

<Example> An example will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, a curved rod-shaped body 1 on which a towel is hung
Annular protrusions 3, 3 are formed near both ends 2, 2, and protrusions 4, 4 are formed at both ends 2, 2 at a certain distance from the annular protrusions 3, 3. ing. The distance between the two end portions 2, indicated by the symbol A, is made smaller than the width B of the bulging base portion 12 of the mounting member 11, which will be described later.
Regarding the distance A, when attaching the curved rod-like body 1 to the case 5, it is pushed out by at least the width of the case 5 against the elasticity of the curved rod-like body 1, so that it will not be damaged. As long as the distance A is approximately 0.25 cm, the value may be as close to zero as possible, that is, the ends 2, 2 may be in contact with each other. If the pushing force is released, the restoring force will return to the original distance A.

The case 5, which has an open back and bottom surface, has a top plate 5a and a side plate 5b, and a rod 6 having a cross-shaped protrusion 7 formed at its base is vertically disposed inside the upper part of the side plate 5b. Further, holes 8, 8 matching the size of the ends 2, 2 of the curved rod-shaped body 1, and engagement grooves 9, 9 for the protrusions 4, 4 are bored in a part of the holes 8, 8 on the left and right sides of the side plate 5b. Set up Further, vertical walls 10, 10 are provided opposite each other.

Although the mounting member 11 is shown as a suction cup that can be fixed to the wall surface by suction, it may also be fixed to the wall surface by screwing or adhesive. The mounting member 11 is formed with a bulging base 12 having a hole 13 into which the rod 6 of the case 5 described above is fitted.

In order to clearly show the relationship between both ends 2, 2 of the curved rod-shaped body 1, which can be said to be the main part of the present invention, and the bulging base 12 of the mounting member 11, FIG. 2 shows the case 5 upside down. Furthermore, FIG. 3 shows a top view of FIG. 2. From FIG. 2 and FIG.
It can be seen that both ends 2, 2 of the curved rod-shaped body 1 overlap the bulging base 12 of the mounting member 11.

To assemble it, first fit it into the hole 13 of the mounting member 11 from the bottom of the rod 6 hanging vertically on the case 5, and then insert the mounting member 11 until it comes into contact with the cross-shaped protrusion 10. The lower surface of the bulging base 12 is placed in a predetermined position. At this time, the standing wall 10,
By pressing both side surfaces of the mounting member 11 with the end faces of the mounting member 10, rotation of the mounting member 11 is prevented. After the case 5 and the mounting member 11 are connected,
Next, the distance A between both ends 2 and 2 is pushed apart against the elasticity of the curved rod 1, the protrusions 4 are aligned with the engagement grooves 9 of the case 5, and the push and spread is released to release the elastic restoring force. Then, both ends 2, 2 of the curved rod-shaped body 1 are inserted into the holes 8, 8 made in the case 5. By making the distance between the annular protrusion 3 and the protrusion 4 substantially the same as the thickness of the side plate 5b of the case 5, rotatable mounting is possible.

As shown in FIG.
When the engagement grooves 9, 9 are oriented toward the surface plate 5a, the curved rod-shaped body 1 can be rotated in the range from the front side to directly above when the towel rack is attached to a wall. In terms of the movement of the protrusions 4, 4, this means rotating from directly above through the back side of the case 5 and directly below, so the holes are drilled toward the surface plate 5a of the case 5. The curved rod-shaped body 1 never comes off, and therefore the curved rod-shaped body 1 never comes off.

<Effect of the invention> The curved rod-shaped body 1 of the towel ring according to the invention is as follows:
Since both ends 2, 2 of the curved rod-shaped body 1 below the bulging base 12 of the mounting member 11 overlap the bulging base 12 of the mounting member 11, even if an upward force acts on the case 5, Since the ends 2, 2 of the curved rod-shaped body 1 collide with the lower surface of the bulging base 12 of the mounting member 11 and cannot be displaced, there is no possibility that the curved rod-shaped body 1 will come off upward together with the case 5. The horizontal wobbling of the curved rod-shaped body 1 can be reduced by the annular protruding portion 3 and the protruding pieces 4, which sandwich the side plate 5b of the case 5.
