Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a towel rack (including a dishtowel rack) that is attached to a wall and has multiple rods and can swing from side to side.

Generally speaking, this kind of towel rack has two mounting brackets on the wall, one on top and one on top.
In addition, each metal fitting has a plate portion for pivotally supporting the rod of the towel rack, and the root portion of the towel rack is supported between the two plate portions with a pin.

When the towel rack is assembled, both mounting brackets are fixed to the wall using screws.

However, as this towel rack is used, play occurs in the pivot part of the rod of the towel rack, and the rod of the hanger becomes tilted downward, to the point where the towel slips off. Moreover, even if one of the mounting brackets is removed and both mounting brackets are brought close to each other and an attempt is made to fix them again, there is a drawback that the replacement location must be changed because the screw holes are not far apart from the original screw holes.

In addition, by using the pivot pin as a screw shaft and tightening the screw shaft, the towel rack can be installed even though the metal fittings are fixed to the wall.
There is a towel rack that allows both pivot plate parts to be close to each other and eliminates play in the pivot part of the towel rack (Utility Model Application Publication No. 30037 of 1920, Utility Model Application Publication No. 30037 of 1919, Utility Model Publication No. 3354, 1983
Publication No. 8).

However, these towel racks are unstable because the lower end of the screw shaft for fastening the rod is supported by a metal fitting fixed to the wall surface, and the screw shaft may become distorted during use. may be damaged.

This invention solves all of these problems with towel racks (hand towel racks).

Embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, A is a rod for multiple towel racks, and B is a rod for multiple towel racks.
-1: Towel rack is fixed to the wall using a rod, B-2
is a movable metal fitting.

The rod A of the towel rack has a horizontal through hole 3 formed in the base end pivot 2 of the rod 1 for passing a pivot pin.

As shown in exploded view in FIG. 3, the towel rack rod support fixture B-1 has a towel rack rod support plate 5a bent at one end of the strip-shaped base plate 4 for attachment to the wall. , movable fitting B-
Reference numeral 2 denotes a mounting portion 6 which is supported by the band-shaped base plate 4 of the fixture B-1 and can be slid up and down, and the towel rack is formed by bending a rod pivot plate portion 5b.

As a mounting structure in which the mounting part 6 of the movable metal fitting B-2 can be slid up and down on the base plate part 4 of the fixed metal fitting B-1,
In the figure, a long hole 7 is formed in most of the center of the base plate 4 of the fixed metal fitting except for both ends, the mounting part 6 of the movable metal fitting is made into a plate shape whose width is larger than the width of the long hole 7, and the towel rack is formed into a plate shape. A small width part 8 having a width slightly smaller than the width of the long hole 7 is formed at the root of the rod pivot support plate part 5b, and a cutout part 9 having a width slightly larger than the wall thickness of the fixing metal base plate part 4 is formed. Assuming that the mounting part 6 is bent at right angles to the rod pivot plate part 5b, the mounting part 6 of the movable bracket B-2 is inserted into the long hole 7 of the board of the fixed bracket B-1 by changing the orientation. After that, the movable metal fitting is reoriented so that the rod support plate 5b faces the same pivot support plate 5a of the fixed metal fitting to prevent it from coming out, but the movable metal fitting can be slid. The bond can also be of other structures.

In the case of the illustrated structure, the base plate portion 4 of the fixed fitting B-1 has screw through holes 1 to enable the movable fitting B-2 to slide.
Except for both ends where 0 exists, most of the center side is attached to the movable metal fitting B-
The mounting portion 6 is curved and bulged toward the front side in a dimension slightly larger than the wall thickness of the mounting portion 6 in No. 2.

When the movable metal fitting B-2 is combined with the fixed metal fitting B-1, the towel racks facing each other are fitted between the rod pivot support plates 5a and 5b with the roots 2 of the rods A lined up in a vertical line, and pin 1
1 through the holes 12 a and 12 b of the pivot plate portion and the towel rack through the through hole 3 of the rod root portion, and then the nut 13 is screwed and fastened.

The towel rack is fixed to the wall 14 using both metal fittings B-1.
It is easier to hang the towel between B-2 before inserting the rod A.

This idea has the above-mentioned structure, and the towel rack is divided into a metal fitting that supports the rod, a fixed metal fitting for mounting on the wall, and a movable metal fitting that is incorporated into and supported by the fixed metal fitting and slides up and down. Therefore, when the towel rack is supported by sandwiching the rod group with both metal fittings, if the clamping becomes loose and the rod tilts forward and downward, it can be moved by simply re-fastening the nut 13 of the pin 11. As the metal fittings are drawn toward the pivot plate part on the fixing metal fitting side, the pivot plate parts 5a and 5b can once again firmly clamp the roots of the rod group, and as a result, the hanging rods will remain stable for a long period of time. Since both ends of the pin 11 are supported by metal fittings, distortion of the pin and breakage of the pin support part, which is seen in conventional hand towel racks in which only one end of the pin is supported by the metal fitting, can be avoided. This has the excellent effect of preventing such accidents from occurring.
