Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a towel rack, and more particularly, to a towel rack having a doorstop at the tip of the support.

(Prior art) Towel racks installed in unit bathrooms and other sanitary equipment rooms are placed in various positions, such as in a position that hits the door, and in a position that does not hit the door. For towel racks, a doorstop is installed on the support. FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventionally known towel rack with a door stop. As shown in the figure, this towel rack with door stop has a pair of supports 100.
A towel hanger is constituted by the support tool 100 and the towel hanger rod 102, and a female threaded hole is formed in the distal end surface of the supporting tool 100, and a male screw 106 integrated with the elastic body 104 is screwed into this female screw hole, and the elastic body 104 is held together.
is configured as a doorstop.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in this towel rack with a door stop, it is necessary to process the support 100 in order to install the door stop, and therefore, it is necessary to process the towel rack with a door stop at the factory production stage. It is necessary to prepare the other items separately in advance. In other words, even if the towel rack is of the same type, those with a door stop and those without a door stop will have different product numbers, so as the number of towel rack types increases, the overall variety will increase accordingly. , inventory management becomes that much more troublesome.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and its gist is to attach a pair of supports to the mounting surface at each base end, and to attach the supports to the mounting surface. In a towel rack in which each end of a towel rack is inserted and fixed into an insertion hole formed on the opposing inner surfaces of the towel rack, a cap-shaped elastic body having a through hole corresponding to the insertion hole is inserted Fitting it into the tip of the support, and inserting the end of the towel hanging rod into the insertion hole of the support through the through hole and fixing it;
Therefore, the cap-shaped elastic body is configured as a doorstop.

(Function) According to the present invention, when attaching the towel rack to the mounting surface, before inserting the towel hanging rod into the insertion hole of the support, the cap-shaped elastic body is simply fitted into the tip of the support. Door stops can be easily constructed.

In addition, according to the present invention, there is no need to process the support or other parts in order to install the door stop, and only for the towel rack placed at the position where the door hits, the cap-shaped elastic body is attached to the support at the on-site installation stage. Just fit it in. That is, unlike conventional towel racks, there is no need to prepare two types of towel racks, one with a door stop and one without, at the factory production stage, which simplifies inventory management.

In addition, the towel rack of the present invention has a cap-shaped elastic body that is fixed to the support by inserting the towel rack rod into the support, and there is no need to use screws or other fastening devices. Therefore, even if a towel rack has been constructed as a doorstop, it can be configured as a normal towel rack by removing the cap-shaped elastic body, without leaving any traces such as screw marks.

In addition, according to the present invention, the door stop can be constructed by simply fitting the cap-shaped elastic body into the support, so the door stop can be easily installed on an existing towel rack.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a towel rack, which is an example of the present invention, and includes a towel rack 12 and a pair of supports 1.
4. The support 14 has a mounting portion 16 at its base end, and is fixed to a mounting surface such as a wall through a screw hole 18 formed in the mounting portion 16.

On the other hand, an insertion hole 20 is provided on the inner surface of the tip of the support 14.
is formed, and the end of the towel hanging rod 12 is inserted into this insertion hole 20 and fixed.

Reference numeral 24 is a cap-shaped rubber elastic body, and one side wall thereof has a through hole 2 having a shape corresponding to the insertion hole 20.
6 is formed.

When installing this towel rack 10, if the towel rack 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 20 of the support 14 with the rubber elastic body 24 fitted to the tip of the support 14, the towel rack 12 and At the same time as the support 14 is joined, the rubber elastic body 24 is irremovably fixed to the support 14 to form a doorstop.

In this way, in the towel rack 10 of the present invention,
When this is installed on site, the doorstop can be easily constructed by simply fitting the elastic body 24 into the support 14. Furthermore, even once the towel rack is attached to a door stop, it can be used as a normal towel rack without a door stop by removing the elastic body 24 from the support 14, or the elastic body 24 can be used as a door stop. This can also be done easily if the device becomes scratched or damaged and needs to be replaced.

In addition to being made of rubber as described above, the cap-shaped elastic body 24 may be made of soft resin, or may be constructed of foam or other soft elastic body. Furthermore, it is possible to increase the wall thickness of the part where the door touches, and to vary the wall thickness depending on the material.Furthermore, the shape of the towel rack is not limited to the one exemplified above, but can be made in various other shapes. The present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from its spirit, such as being applicable to a towel rack.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, according to the invention, an ordinary towel rack can be easily configured as one with a doorstop, and there is no need to process any supporting tools etc. There is no need to prepare two types, one with a door stop and one without, at the production stage in a factory. This simplifies inventory management.

Furthermore, even if a towel rack has been configured as a doorstop, it can be reconfigured as a regular towel rack without leaving any traces of screws, etc., and in addition, it can be easily installed on existing towel racks. Not only can a door stop be installed, but the door stop can also be easily replaced, resulting in excellent effects.
