Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention makes it possible to hold or suspend the shower head and bathroom accessories by using a hook for a shower head that is already attached to a bathroom or the like. The present invention relates to improvement of a supporting device such as a shower head.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Various types of conventional supporting devices have been devised and developed, but the existing hooks have different distances and inclination angles between the inner hole for inserting the shower handle and the wall surface depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, in manufacturing the supporting device, unless it is in conformity with each of the above-mentioned individual forms, an unnecessary gap is generated between the back surface and the wall surface to spoil the appearance, or the back surface of the hanger body abuts the wall surface to project. There are various problems such as the fact that the device cannot be inserted and inserted, and the entire device is excessively inclined depending on the inclination angle of the hook inner hole, which causes inconvenience in actual use.

In response to this, the present inventor devised a supporting device such as a shower head as shown in FIG. 4, and applied for a utility model registration application No. 17718 in 1988. That is, a frame [b] formed with a hollow part [a] in which an existing shower head hook (hereinafter referred to as "hook") can be contained, and a connecting plate [c] whose base end is pivotally supported by the frame. A hanger body [e] pivotally attached to the tip of the connecting plate and provided with at least an auxiliary hook [d]; and a hanger main body [e] integrally projecting from the lower surface of the hollow part of the body and engaging with the existing hook inner hole. It is configured by an inverted trapezoidal engagement plate [F] that can be inserted.

However, the supporting device having the above-described structure is structurally difficult to manufacture because the frame [b], the connecting plate [c], and the hanger body [e] are pivotally connected to each other so as to be rotatable by a certain amount. Not only that, but also due to the lack of pressure contact force of the back surface of the frame against the wall surface, it was often found that there was a gap between the two.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention has a frame having a hollow portion in which an existing hook can be housed, a frame having a reverse slanted edge formed in an approximately upper half portion, and a receiving portion that abuts the slanted edge of the frame, and at least one side of the frame is provided. Since the hanger body having the auxiliary hook and the tapered T-shaped insertion plate projecting from the center of the hanger body and capable of being fitted into the inner hole of the existing hook are used, It is a solution to the problem.

[Action]

As described above, according to the present invention, the frame and the hanger body fitted to the existing hook are separately configured, so that the fitting plate is fitted to the existing hook through the hollow portion of the frame. Since the receiving part of the hanger main body slidably contacts the inclined edges on both sides of the frame, if the frame is lowered in this state and both inclined edges of the frame are wedged between the wall and the hanger main body,
The back surface of the frame has a special function that it can be securely fixed to the wall surface by crimping.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described more specifically based on an embodiment. In FIG. 1, 1 is a hook for wearing a shower head already installed on a wall surface of a bathroom or the like, and 2 is the hook 1 described above. The frame is provided with a possible hollow portion 2a, and has opposite inclined edges 2b formed on both sides of the upper half portion. The reference numeral 3 designates a hanger body which has an inverted trapezoidal engagement plate 3a which can be inserted into the inner hole 1a of the hook 1 and which projects a receiving portion 3b so as to sandwich the engagement plate 3a. While the engaging plate 3a is fitted into the inner hole 1a of the hook, the engaging plate 3a can be brought into contact with the inside of the inclined edges 2b, 2b of the frame 2, while the auxiliary hook 3c is formed on at least one side. is there.

Further, a taper-shaped engagement plate 3a protruding from the hanger body
Has a narrow width so that it can be inserted into the inner hole 1a of the hook 1, and the base end is wider than the front opening 1b of the inner hole 1a, but the taper angle is as shown in FIG. As can be seen in, when the engaging plate 3a is tilted forward, if both sides of the upper and lower sides are in the range of contact with the wall surface of the inner hole 1a at four points,
It is not particularly limited. Further, by providing a certain radius on both side edges of the engaging plate 3a, the supporting state with the inner hole 1a can be stably maintained.

The engagement plate 3a is usually made of hard plastic, and its thickness is about 5 mm or less, preferably about 3 mm. The thickness of the engaging plate should be determined in relation to the rigidity and strength of the plate, but it is effective that the thickness is as thin as possible within the allowable range in terms of strength. For that purpose, an appropriate rib 3e is provided on a portion of the inner hole 1a of the engaging plate that does not prevent the tilt.
Is preferably provided.

In addition, in FIG. 1, a portion 4 indicated by a chain line is a frame extension portion 5 extending below the frame 2 as necessary.
Shows a tray rack for small articles which is detachably attached to the frame extension.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the product of the above construction, first, the existing hook 1 is positioned in the hollow portion 2a of the frame to bring the back surface of the frame into close contact with the wall surface. Next, the lock plate for the hanger 3
3a is fully inserted into the inner hole 1a of the hook, and the receiving portions 3b and 3b on both sides of the hanger are positioned inside the inclined edges 2b and 2b of the frame so that the shaft rods 3d of the hanger body come into contact with the respective inclined edges. By adjusting the frame position to the lower position and pulling the frame downwards in this state, the inclined edge can be wedged between the wall surface [W] and the hanger shaft rod 3d to easily fix the frame and the hanger body. is there.

[Effect of device]

Since the supporting device such as the shower head of the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

That is, the frame and the hanger body are separate structures, the inclined edges of the frame can be wedged between the wall surface and the shaft of the hanger, and the receiving portion of the hanger body is lateral in the frame. Since the movement is prevented, the frame of the supporting device can be firmly and beautifully hung along the wall surface regardless of the position and inclination of the inner hole of the existing hook.

Further, since the inverted trapezoidal engaging plate is slightly inclined forward in the inner hole, and the four upper and lower points of the engaging plate are supported by contacting the inner hole surface,
This absorbs the difference in the size of the inner hole, the taper angle, and the like, so that the frame can be reliably and stably supported by the ready-made hook. Therefore, when removing the shower head as in the conventional product, there is no fear that the supporting device will come off from the hook and fall off. Further, when a tray shelf is provided below the frame, the floor surface of the bathroom is conventionally small. Not only is it convenient to sort out bathroom items such as shampoo and soap that were cluttered in, but the weight of the bathroom items on the tray shelf is added in addition to the weight of the frame, creating a wedge effect on the frame, By further increasing the pressure contact force between the frame back surface and the wall surface, the entire supporting device can be held more stably.
