That is, in the shower hanger, the hanger portion g is screwed to one side of the slide body e in which the through hole d capable of penetrating the support rod b is formed by the screw f, and the screw formed in the other side of the slide body e. A tightening handle h is screwed into the tubular portion i, an elastic rubber plate j is provided inside the tightening handle h, and the other end of a shaft-shaped pressing member k whose one end is brought into contact with the elastic rubber plate j is transparent. When one side surface of a C-shaped elastic band l provided so as to surround the support rod b in the hole d is brought into contact with the clamping handle h and the tightening handle h is rotated, the pressing member k is pushed through the elastic rubber plate j. The shower hanger can be fixed at a desired position of the support bar b by pressing the elastic band 1 and contracting the C-shaped elastic band 1 to sandwich the support bar b.
Note that m indicates a shower head that is hooked on the hanger portion g.

[0003]

However, in the above configuration,
Since both ends of the supporting rod b are closed by the fixing portions c, c, the shower hanger must be passed through the supporting rod b before fixing the fixing portions c, c to the supporting rod b. Therefore, if such a shower hanger is to be attached to a handrail that has been conventionally provided in a bathroom or the like for preventing the fall of old people, etc., the shower hanger must be attached unless both ends of the support bar b are opened. Since it cannot be inserted, there is a problem that the shower hanger cannot be retrofitted to the existing handrail. In addition, since the existing handrails do not have a constant diameter depending on the manufacturer, the allowable width that can be attached by the shower hanger having the above structure is narrow and it cannot cope with many handrails.
