The part 2 is inserted. In addition, at both ends 1a of the pillow rod 1, a plurality of divided portions 1b are formed in a longitudinal direction from the ends at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction (for example, like a bamboo sword), and a screw portion 1c is formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Is formed. The above-mentioned set screw ring members 5 are attached to both ends of the pillow rod 1 in which the screw portion 1c is formed. The set screw ring member 5 is formed such that the end side of the pillow rod portion 1 is slightly shrunk, and a screw portion 5a that meshes with the screw portion 1c of the pillow rod portion 1 is formed on the inner peripheral surface on the opposite side. Has been formed. Then, by rotating the setscrew ring members 5 attached to both ends of the pillow rod 1 in one direction, the setscrew ring members 5 are moved outward, and the expansion rods inserted into the pillow rod 1 are extended. 2 can be freely pulled out or inserted by hand to expand and contract. This elastic rod 2
After extending to a predetermined length, the set screw ring member 5 is rotated again in the direction opposite to the above direction, so that the thinned portion 5b of the set screw ring member 5 tightens the end portion 1a of the pillow rod 1. As the diameter of the end portion 1a of the pillow rod portion 1 is reduced by this tightening, the elastic rod portion 2 is tightened and fixed to both end portions 1a of the pillow rod portion 1.

A vertical groove (not shown) is formed on the inner surface of the above-mentioned pillow rod 1 in the longitudinal direction, and an engaging projection (not shown) formed on the outer surface of each telescopic rod 2 is formed. Pillow rod 1 above
Is engaged with the vertical groove (not shown) of the pillow, and the pillow rod 1 and the telescopic rod 2 are engaged with each other at a predetermined position, so that each telescopic rod 2
It is designed so that it does not rotate and cause misalignment. Of course, an engagement protrusion (not shown) is formed on the inner surface of the pillow rod 1, and a vertical groove that engages with the engagement protrusion (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of each expansion rod 2. Good.

The pillow rod 1 is preferably made of synthetic resin, but may be made of other materials. Further, the structure for fixing the expansion / contraction rod 2 is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, and various known expansion / contraction fixing structures known in the related art may be modified in design. The elastic rod 2 is a straight shaft or a cylindrical body, and is made of a hard synthetic resin or a metal member.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotation preventing member 3 is made of a member having a large friction coefficient such as a rubber member provided on the lower surface side of the tip end of the elastic rod 2. A portion of the expansion / contraction rod portion 2 to which the rotation preventing member 3 is attached is formed flat, and a locking protrusion (not shown) protruding from the rotation preventing member 3 is provided in a hole (not shown) formed in the flat portion. It is fitted and attached. Contrary to the above structure, a locking projection (not shown) is formed on the expansion / contraction rod 2, and the rotation preventing member 3 is formed.
A locking projection (not shown) of the expansion / contraction rod portion 2 may be fitted and attached in a hole (not shown) formed in the. The lower surface 3a of the rotation preventing member 3 is formed flat so that it can be placed in close contact with the upper end portion b of the bathtub B. The expansion / contraction rod 2 is connected to the bathtub B through the rotation preventing member 3.
By being mounted on the upper end portion b of the
It does not rotate even when a force to rotate it is applied to the pillow rod 1.

Next, the horizontal movement preventing member 4 contacts the bathtub inner wall surfaces 6 and 7 in the X and Y directions in the drawing at the corner C of the bathtub B when the expansion rod 2 is extended. , Are attached to the outer surfaces of the lower portions of both the elastic rods 2. The method of attachment is the same as that of the rotation preventing member 3 and its explanation is omitted. By providing the horizontal movement preventing member 4, when the bathtub pillow is installed near the end D of the bathtub B, movement in the horizontal direction (X, Y directions) in the bathtub is prevented, and the bathtub pillow is used during use. Will not be displaced in the horizontal direction.

In the bathtub pillow A having the above-mentioned structure, the horizontal movement and the rotation can be prevented at the same time only by adjusting the size of the bathtub. That is, when using, each horizontal movement prevention member 4 provided at the end of the expansion rod 2 by loosening both setscrew ring members 5 is first attached to the bathtub inner wall surfaces 6 and 7 of each corner C of the bathtub B. The expansion rod 2 is extended until it abuts. Then, when each horizontal movement preventing member 4 comes into contact with the inner wall surfaces 6 and 7 of the bathtub, the set screw ring member 5 is rotated to fix the expansion rod 2 to the pillow rod 1. After this, the rotation preventing member 3 is placed on the upper end portion b of the bathtub B.

By installing the bathtub pillow A on the bathtub B as shown in FIG. 4, the bathtub rod portion 1 installed on the bathtub B is installed.
And a gap E of several cm is formed between the expansion rod 2 and one end D (see FIG. 3) of the bath B.
