Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bracket suitable for mounting a towel bar, a guide rail for a sliding shower hook, etc. on a wall surface, and more particularly to a structure for mounting a bracket cover on the bracket.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The structure for mounting the guide rail for the slide shower hook on the wall surface, which adopts this type of bracket cover mounting structure, will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG.

A bracket 12 is attached to a wall surface 10 of a bathroom, and a lower end of a shower hook guide rail 14 is inserted into and fixed to the bracket 12. A bracket cover 16 is attached to the bracket 12 so as to cover the lower end portion of the guide rail 14.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 12 is provided with an elliptic column-shaped bracket main body 12a, a guide rail fitting portion 12b provided on an upper portion of the bracket main body 12a, and a front surface of the bracket main body 12a. A screw hole 12c, a boss portion 12d protruding from the front surface, and a screw receiving hole 12e recessed from the front surface.

The screw receiving hole 12e has a large diameter up to an intermediate portion and a small diameter at its tip. The head portion of the screw 18 is engaged with the step portion 12f (FIG. 5) provided in the middle of the screw receiving hole 12e. The bracket 12 is fixed to the wall surface 10 by screwing the screw 18 into the wall surface 10.

The guide rail 14 is inserted into the guide rail fitting portion 12b from above, a screw 20 is inserted into a screw insertion hole 14a provided in the guide rail 14, and the screw 20 is inserted into the screw hole 12c. The lower end of the guide rail 14 is fixed to the bracket 12 by being screwed into.

The bracket cover 16 is U-shaped, and covers the front surface of the bracket 12 excluding the guide rail fitting portion 12b. A pin 16a is projectingly provided on the back surface of the bracket cover 16. As shown in FIG. 6, the pin 16a is fitted into a recess (a through hole in this conventional example) 12g of the boss 12d. The bracket cover 16 is fixedly attached to the bracket 12.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional bracket cover 16 mounting structure, the bracket 16 is held in the bracket 12 only by fitting the pin 16a into the recess 12g of the boss 12d. There was a problem that the bracket cover 16 would fall off from the bracket 12 when the fitting with 12 g was loose.

Such a problem is likely to be remarkable when the bracket cover 16 and the bracket 12 are made of different materials and have different thermal expansion coefficients.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The bracket cover mounting structure according to claim 1 is a structure in which a bracket cover is mounted on a bracket, wherein a boss portion protruding from a front surface of the bracket, a recess formed in the boss portion, and a rear surface of the bracket cover are provided. In the mounting structure of the bracket cover, which has a cover fixing pin fitted in the recess of the boss, the cap is made of rubber or synthetic resin and is capped on the boss. The pin is tightly fitted in an opening that is provided coaxially with the recess and has a smaller diameter than the recess.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the bracket cover mounting structure according to the first aspect, wherein the bracket and the bracket cover are made of different materials having different thermal expansion coefficients.

[0012]

[Action]

 In such a bracket cover mounting structure of the present invention, a cap made of rubber or synthetic resin is fitted to the boss portion, and the pin is tightly fitted into the small-diameter opening provided in the cap. Even if the thermal expansion coefficient of the cover differs from that of the bracket, the bracket cover will always be held firmly against the bracket.

[0013]

【Example】

 Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment structure of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view showing a guide rail mounting structure by a bracket with a bracket cover attached, and FIG. 3 is a line 3-3 in FIG. FIG.

In this embodiment, a cap 22 made of rubber or soft synthetic resin is fitted to the boss 12d. The opening 22a of the cap 22 has a smaller diameter than the concave portion (through hole in this embodiment) 12g of the boss portion 12d, and the pin 16a is fitted into the concave portion 12g while being tightly fitted in the opening 22a. There is. Other configurations are the same as those of the above-mentioned conventional example, and the same reference numerals are given to the same portions and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the bracket cover mounting structure thus configured, since the pin 16a is tightly fitted in the opening 22a of the cap 22, there is a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the bracket cover 16 and the bracket 12. However, the pin 16a is always firmly held by the boss portion 12d, so that the bracket cover 16 is firmly held by the bracket 12.

Although not particularly limited, the bracket 12 is made of, for example, metal or high-rigidity engineering plastic. The bracket cover 16 is an inexpensive plastic molded product.

In the above embodiment, the recess 12g is a through hole, but it is clear that it may be formed as a recess that does not penetrate.

The above embodiment relates to the structure in which the present invention is applied to the bracket cover for mounting the guide rail for the sliding shower hook, but the present invention is a bracket for mounting various members such as a towel bar. Clearly, it can be applied to covers.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the mounting structure of the bracket cover of the present invention, even if the bracket and the bracket cover are made of different materials and the coefficients of thermal expansion of the bracket and the bracket cover are different from each other, the bracket cover is firmly held to the bracket. You can leave it.
