Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a towel holder that is fixed to a wall or ceiling of a washroom or toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a washroom or toilet, a bar is laterally fixed to a wall surface, and a towel is hung on the bar.

[0003]

However, since the towel hung on the stick is in a state of spreading in front of the wall surface even when not in use, the front surface of the wall surface is not tidy and cluttered, and it is easy to cover dust. It is hygienic. Further, if the previous user touches the towel immediately after using it, the user may feel uncomfortable because the towel is wet.

In the towel holder of the present invention, attention is paid to the above-mentioned problems, and the towel is made compact when not in use so that the front of the wall surface is cleaned and dust is not easily attached to the towel. The aim is to be able to dry the towel quickly.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a towel holder according to the present invention has a shaft member formed so as to be capable of gripping the end of the towel, and rotatably supporting the shaft member. And a heater provided inside the shaft member.

[0006]

According to the towel holder of the present invention, the towel can be suspended by causing the shaft member to grip the end portion of the towel. Then, after use, the towel can be wound around the shaft member by rotating the shaft member to make the towel compact. Further, the towel wound around the shaft member can be quickly dried from the inside by a heater provided inside the shaft member.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 are perspective views showing a towel holder H of the embodiment, in which 1 is a shaft member, 2 is a holder, and 3 is a heater. 1 shows a state before the towel is attached, FIG. 2 shows a state where the towel is hung, and FIG. 3 shows a state where the towel is wound.

The shaft member 1 is constituted by a towel holder 12 which is openably and closably mounted around a tubular body 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the towel T is composed of the tubular body 11 and the towel retainer 12. The end of the can be grasped. The shaft member 1 is made of a material having high heat resistance and a high thermal conductivity.

The holder 2 has two frame members 21.
It is composed of two side brackets 22 and a fixed shaft 23, and the fixed shaft 23 rotatably supports the shaft member 1. Therefore, the towel T held by the shaft member 1 is
When the shaft member 1 is rotated, the towel T is wound around the shaft member 1, and the towel T wound around the shaft member 1 is stretched when the end of the towel T at the winding end is pulled by hand.

Further, this towel holder is provided with an automatic hoisting mechanism (not shown), and when the stretched towel T is subjected to a load larger than a predetermined value, the shaft member 1 automatically rotates, The towel T is wound around the shaft member 1. Note that this winding mechanism uses the mechanism used for the existing roll blind as it is.

The heater 3 is provided inside the fixed shaft 23 of the holder 2. In addition, this heater 3
, An electric heater is convenient, and among them, an infrared heater is preferable.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

The towel holder H of this embodiment is provided with a heater 3
Is provided inside the shaft member 1 and has a compact structure. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. Can be fixed using.

When the towel T is hung on the towel holder, the end of the towel T is held by the shaft member 1. At this time, if the weight bar 7 having the puller 8 is attached to the opposite end of the towel T, it becomes easy to use.

When the towel T is stored, the puller 8 is pulled downward to apply a load larger than a predetermined value to the towel T. Then, the shaft member 1 is automatically rotated, and the towel T is wound around the shaft member 1 so that the towel T becomes compact and is housed in the holder 2.

If the heater 3 is operated after the towel T is wound around the shaft member 1, the towel T can be quickly dried from the inside. When the heater 3 is an infrared heater, the towel T can be sterilized as well as dried.

Next, when the towel T is used, the shaft member 1
Pull the end of the towel T, which has been wound up on the end, to pull it out by hand. Then you can wipe your hands with a dry towel.

In other words, the towel holder of the present embodiment can make the towel T compact after use, so that the front of the wall surface is tidy and clean, and the towel T is not easily dusty and hygienic. After that, the towel T can be quickly dried from the inside by the heater 3, so that the hand can be always wiped with the dried towel T, which is comfortable.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific structure is not limited to this embodiment, and there are design changes and the like within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. Also included in the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the towel holder in which the shaft member is automatically rotated to wind the towel has been described, but the towel may be wound manually.

[0020]

As described above, in the towel holder of the present invention, the towel can be wound around the shaft member to make it compact after use, so that the front of the wall surface is tidy and clean. At the same time, it is hygienic because the towel does not easily get dust.

Further, since the towel wound around the shaft member can be quickly dried from the inside by the heater provided inside the shaft member, the hand can always be wiped with the dry towel.
