Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slide type shower hanger device capable of adjusting and holding the height of a shower head.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a shower hanger device whose height can be adjusted, for example, a slide type shower fixing metal fitting disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-125865 is known. As shown in FIG. 2, in this slide-type fixture for a shower, a slide bar a is vertically extended and fixed to a wall surface w of a bathroom, and a shower head fixture b is vertically slid on the slide bar a. The shower head fixing bracket b is movably attached and is provided with a shower head support portion d for detachably supporting the shower head c.

In this slide bar type shower fixture, the vertical dimension of the shower head fixture b is short, and a stopper e for fixing and opening the shower head support portion d and the shower head fixture b to the slide bar a. Are provided at almost the same height position.

[0004]

By the way, in a posture in which a person sits on a chair to wash his / her body, the reachable area is limited to a fairly narrow range. Therefore, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional slide bar type fixing fixture for a shower, for example, a person who sits down and washes his body to the position of his head to wash his hair.
If you are going to change the height of the shower head c, or if you want to change the height of the shower head c to a standing position, reach your hands up to a high position,
Alternatively, it may be necessary to once stand up from the chair and move the shower head fixing bracket b to operate the stopper e, which is accompanied by a considerable physical burden especially to the elderly, the physically handicapped, and the infant. is there.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and provides a slide type shower hanger device capable of changing the height of the shower head in a comfortable posture while sitting. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the sliding shower hanger device of the present invention has a slide bar vertically extending and fixed to a wall surface of a bathroom.
A slide support having a long shape in the vertical direction is slidably supported on the slide bar. The slide support is provided with a shower head support, and the slide support is fixed below the slide support. The gist is that it has a stopper for releasing.

[0007]

The sliding shower hanger device of the present invention is
The slide support has a vertically long shape, and a stopper for fixing and releasing the slide support is provided below the slide support. Therefore, the shower head support can be provided above the slide support from the lower side, and the hand can be set to the same height as the shower head support like the conventional slide bar type fixing bracket for a shower. The height of the showerhead support can be adjusted without the need for stretching.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings by embodiments. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration and use mode of an embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the shower is lowered to the lowest position.

As shown in FIG. 1, a slide bar 1 which is long in the vertical direction is supported by upper and lower pedestals 2 and 2, and is fixed to the wall surface w of the bathroom in a substantially vertical direction while being slightly floated from the wall surface w of the bathroom. A slide support 3 is supported on the slide bar 1.

The slide support 3 has a vertically long shape, and a shower head support 4 is provided at each of an upper end portion and an intermediate portion thereof, and a stopper 5 is provided near a lower end portion thereof. The slide bar insertion hole 4 is provided in the base of the shower head support 4 and the stopper 5, respectively.
1, 51 are formed, the slide bar 1 is inserted through the slide bar insertion holes 41, 51, and the slide support 3 is formed.
Is movable up and down between the upper and lower pedestals 2 and 2.

The lower end of the slide bar 1 is located at a lower position, and the slide bar 1 is formed so that it can be easily moved up and down near the lower end of the slide support 3 while sitting on a chair.

Stopper 5 (details of the structure are not shown)
Push-buttons 52 are provided on both side surfaces of the push-button 52. When the push-buttons 52 are pushed, the stop function is released and the slide support 3 slides on the slide bar 1 and can move up and down. When the pushing force is released, the stop function works and the slide bar 1 is fixed.

Next, a method of using the present invention will be described. When a person sitting on a chair wants to change (raise) the height of the shower head 6, pressing the push button 52 near the lower end of the slide support 3 cancels the stop function of the stopper 5 and slides as it is. When the support 3 is pushed up, the slide support 3 slides on the slide bar 1 and rises. Then, when the shower head 6 reaches a desired height, the force for pushing the push button 52 is released. As a result, the stop function of the stopper 5 works and the slide support 3, and thus the shower head 6, is fixed in that position. The same applies to the case where the shower head 6 is lowered from a high position, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, in the slide type shower hanger device of the present invention, since the shower head support portion 4 is provided above and apart from the lower side where the slide support body 3 is operated, the slide bar type of the prior art is used. The height of the shower head support can be adjusted without the need to reach to the same height as the shower head support 4 as with a fixture for a shower.

Further, in the above embodiment, the slide support 3
Is formed so that it can be lowered to a sufficiently low position and can be operated while holding the slide support body 3 near the lower end thereof. It is not necessary to perform the operation of 3, and the height of the shower head 6 can be easily changed while sitting.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the present invention also includes design changes and the like without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the shower head support portion 4 is provided at the upper end portion and the intermediate portion of the slide support member 3 at two places, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only at one place, and more stages are provided. It may be provided at three or more locations so that the height of the shower can be changed.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the height of the shower head support portion can be increased without the need to reach to the same height as the shower head support portion as in the prior art. It can be adjusted. In addition, by allowing the slide support to descend to a sufficiently low position, it is not necessary to reach for a hand when the middle waist is unstable or to stand up and operate the slide support up and down. The height of the head can be changed, and it can be used safely and comfortably, especially for elderly people, disabled people, and infants.
