The support portion 3 is attached to the hanger body 1 by a hinge portion 4, and is rotatable in the up-down direction (arrow Y direction) with the hinge portion 4 as a fulcrum.

The towel hanger having such a structure is attached to a wall surface (not shown) of a refrigerator or a steel product around the kitchen by the suction cup 2 of the hanger body 1, and the towel T is hung on the supporting portion 3 to support it. There is.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The support portion 3 of the conventional towel hanger described above has a substantially circular cross section. For this reason, there is a problem that the towel tends to slip and drop easily when or after the hand is wiped.
In such a case, there is a problem that the towel has to be re-hanged after use, which is troublesome.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a towel hanger that can prevent a towel supported by a support part from falling from the support part.

(Means for Solving the Problems) To achieve the above object, the towel hanger of the present invention is
A towel hanger having a supporting portion for hanging and supporting a towel, wherein the portion on which the towel is hung has a horizontal portion and a rising portion which is curved and rises upward from both ends of the horizontal portion, further,
The portion on which the towel hangs has a sharp sectional shape.

(Effects) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the following effects are produced.

That is, the portion of the hanger support to which the towel is hung has a horizontal portion and a rising portion that rises upward from both ends of the horizontal portion, and the portion to which the towel is hung has a sharp cross-sectional shape. Therefore, the supported towel is held so as to bite into the portion of the supporting portion on which the towel is hung.

When the width of the towel is relatively large, or when you wipe your hands by pulling the towel in the left-right direction, the edge of the towel may touch the rising part, but the rising part also has a sharp cross-sectional shape. The towel is held so as to bite into the rising portion.

Therefore, the towel is less likely to slip with respect to the support portion and is less likely to fall off the support portion.

Moreover, since the rising portion is curved and rises upward from both ends of the horizontal portion, wrinkles are less likely to occur at both ends of the towel even when a towel having a relatively large width is hung, and the drying of the towel is prevented from being delayed. be able to. Also, when you wipe your hands by pulling the towel in the left-right direction, even if the end of the towel approaches the rising part, the rising part is curved upward from both ends of the horizontal part, It acts to return to the horizontal portion along this curved shape. Therefore, the posture of the towel is not easily collapsed, and the time and effort for reattaching the towel can be saved.

Here, the fixed structure means a wall surface of a refrigerator or a steel product. Although the magnet 22 is used as the mounting means in this embodiment, a suction cup, an adhesive member, or the like may be used as another mounting means. The rear surface portion 31 of the cover portion 30 has a ring-shaped engaging piece 30a, which engages with the ring-shaped convex portions 20a, 20b of the fixed portion 20, respectively.
30b is provided. The peripheral wall 32 of the cover portion 30 is formed to have an inner diameter that can be engaged with the ring-shaped convex portion 20C of the fixed portion 20.

The reference numeral 33 is a protrusion formed inside the peripheral wall 32 with a constant interval, and is adapted to come into line contact with the ring-shaped protrusion 20c of the fixed portion 20. As a result, the cover portion 30 is configured to smoothly rotate with respect to the fixed portion 20.

A stepped hole 34 is provided in the central portion of the cover portion 30, and when the cover portion 30 is engaged with the fixed portion 20, the convex portion of the fixed portion 20 is formed.

By engaging the cover portion 30 with the fixed portion 20 and locking the cover portion 30 with the stop pin 35, the cover portion 30 is supported rotatably in the left-right direction (the arrow X direction in FIG. 1) with respect to the fixed portion 20. There is.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a receiving portion for the supporting portion 40 provided on the cover portion 30. 36
Reference numeral a denotes a pair of holes formed on the left and right side walls of the receiving portion 36, which support both end portions 41 of the supporting portion 40, respectively.

The support portion 40 has a horizontal portion and a rising portion 43 that curves upward from both ends of the horizontal portion and stands up, and is formed in a substantially ring shape. Both ends of the support 40
The protrusions 40a that engage with the grooves 36b formed in the holes 36a of the cover portion 30 are provided on the 41, respectively. The protrusions 40a of both end portions 41 of the support portion 40 are respectively aligned with the grooves 36b of the holes 36a of the cover portion 30, and the both end portions 41 of the support portion 40 are connected to the hole 36a of the cover portion 30.
The support portion 40 is rotatably supported by the cover portion 30 in the up-down direction (the direction of the arrow Y in FIG. 2).

42 is a portion of the supporting portion 40 on which the towel is hung, and is formed by the horizontal portion and the rising portion 43. In the portion 42 on which the towel is hung, the towel supporting surface is formed in a triangular shape in cross section, and as a result, the cross sectional shape is sharp. In the following explanation, the part that the towel hangs on
42 is also referred to as a triangular section. The triangular section 42 is designed to prevent the towel T slipping into the towel T supported by the supporting section 40 and dropping. The triangular section 42 is also provided on the rising portion 43 of the support section 40 so that even when a relatively large towel is supported, the towel is sucked into the entire supported towel so that the towel does not slip. .

Reference numeral 45 is a cap that closes the hole 34 of the cover portion 30.

The towel hanger configured as described above is fixed to the fixed structure by the magnet 22 attached to the fixed portion 20 of the hanger body 10, and the towel T is supported by the support portion 40.

Since the support portion 40 of the hanger body 10 is formed with the triangular portion 42 in cross section, the towel T supported by the support portion 40 is held so as to bite into the triangular portion 42 in cross section.

Therefore, the towel T is less likely to slip on the support portion 40 and is less likely to fall from the support portion 40.

Further, even when the towel T is pulled by a downward force when the hand is wiped, the towel T has a triangular section 42 of the support section 40.
It will be in a state of biting into, and will be firmly held by the support portion 40.

Therefore, the towel T supported by the support portion 40 is held without sliding and falling in the pulled direction.

Further, the cover portion 30 is supported by the fixed portion 20 so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction, and further, the support portion 40 is supported by the cover portion 30 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, so that the support portion 40 is supported. The towel T is always supported in the vertical direction by its own weight.

When the towel T is pulled by the pulling force in the left-right direction when wiping the hand, the support portion follows the movement in the left-right direction.
40 rotates and holds the towel T. If the towel T is released after the hand is wiped, the support portion 40 is rotated by the weight of the towel T, and the towel T returns in the vertical direction.

In this way, even if the force of pulling in the left-right direction acts on the towel T, the towel T bites into the triangular portion 42 of the cross section of the support portion 40,
Since the support portion 40 follows and rotates, the posture of the towel T that has been supported does not collapse, and the time and effort for re-applying the towel T can be saved. When the towel is pulled in the left-right direction to wipe the hand, the end of the towel T may reach the rising portion 43, but since the rising portion 43 also has the triangular portion 42 in cross section, The towel is held so as to cut into the triangular portion 42 of the cross section, and the towel is unlikely to fall off the support portion 40. Also, when you wipe your hands by pulling the towel in the left-right direction, even if the end of the towel approaches the rising portion 43,
Since 43 is curved and rises upward from both ends of the horizontal portion, it acts to return to the horizontal portion along this curved shape. Therefore, the posture of the towel is not easily collapsed, and the time and effort for reattaching the towel can be saved.

<Second Embodiment> FIG. 4 is a front view showing a second embodiment of the towel hanger according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is C in FIG. -C line cross section, FIG. 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the main part from the DD line direction of FIG.

In these drawings, 50 is a hanger body, 60 is a rotating base portion, and 70 is a supporting portion integrally formed with the rotating base portion 60.
The hanger body 50, the rotation base portion 60 and the support portion 70 are
It is made of ABS resin or the like.

On the front side of the hanger body 50, a bottomed cylindrical recess 51 is formed. The peripheral wall 52 of the recess 51 is provided with a pair of elongated holes 53 at symmetrical positions in the circumferential direction.

On the back side of the hanger body 50, as in the first embodiment, a magnet (for example, a plastic magnet) 22 is attached as an attachment means to the fixed structure.

The rotation base 60 has a peripheral wall formed in a substantially spherical shape, and the outer diameter of the rotation base 60 is smaller than the inner diameter of the recess 51 of the hanger body 50.
It has a size that can be inserted into the 51. Reference numeral 61 denotes a pair of columnar pins protruding from the outer periphery of the rotating base 60, which are formed at symmetrical positions. The pair of pins 61 is a peripheral wall of the recess 51.
The outer diameter is formed so that it can be inserted into each of the pair of long holes 53 formed in 52.

The rotating base 60 having such a structure is provided with the pair of pins.
By inserting 61 into the pair of elongated holes 53 of the recess 51, the hanger body 50 is rotatably supported in the recess 51. That is, since the pair of pins 61 can move in the long hole 53 and can rotate in the long hole 53, the rotation base portion 60 is within the range of the long hole 53 with respect to the hanger body 50. It is rotatably supported in the left-right direction (the arrow X direction in FIG. 4) and is rotatably supported in the up-down direction (the arrow Y direction in FIG. 5) around the pin 61 as an axis.

Similar to the first embodiment, the supporting portion 70 is provided with a triangular portion 42 that crosses into the towel T supported by the supporting portion 70 to prevent the towel from slipping and dropping from the supporting portion 70. ing.

The towel hanger configured as described above is fixed to the fixed structure by the magnet 22 attached to the hanger body 50, and the towel T is supported by the support portion 70.

Since the triangular section 42 is formed on the supporting section 70 of the hanger body 50, the towel T supported by the supporting section 70 is held so as to bite into the triangular section 42.

Therefore, the towel T is less likely to slip with respect to the support portion 70 and is less likely to fall from the support portion 70.

Further, when the towel T is pulled downward when the hand is wiped, the towel T has a triangular cross-section 42 of the supporting portion 70.
It will be in a depressed state and firmly held by the support portion 70.

Therefore, the towel T supported by the support portion 70 is held without slipping and sliding in the pulled direction.

Further, the support part 70 is provided with the rotation base part 60 so that the hanger body 50 is
On the other hand, since it is rotatably supported in the vertical and horizontal directions, the towel T supported by the support portion 70 is always supported in the vertical direction by its own weight.

When the towel T is subjected to a pulling force in the left-right direction when the hand is wiped, the rotating base portion 60 rotates to follow the movement in the left-right direction and holds the towel T. When the towel T is released after the hand is wiped, the rotating base 60 is rotated by the weight of the towel T and the towel T is returned in the vertical direction.

In this way, even if the force of pulling in the left-right direction acts on the towel T, the towel T bites into the triangular section 42 of the supporting section 70,
Since the support portion 40 follows and rotates, the posture of the towel T that has been supported does not collapse, and it is possible to save the trouble of reattaching the towel T.

In the assembly of the towel hanger described above, one side of the pair of pins 61 is engaged with the elongated hole 53 of the recess 51 in advance, and then the other side of the pin 61 is recessed using the elasticity of the resin.
This can be easily performed by engaging with the long hole 53 of the 51.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

For example, the triangular cross-section 42 is not limited to the shape of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the cross-sectional shape of the portion on which the towel hangs may be sharp, and it is possible to prevent the towel from slipping by cutting into the supported towel. I wish I had it.
