Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a convenient universal shower head that allows you to freely adjust the inclination angle, swing direction, and height of the shower.
Regarding shower hangers.

A sliding shower hanger 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is conventionally known. In the same figure, a sliding shower hanger 1 is attached to a vertical round bar-shaped guide bar 2 installed on a vertical wall of a bathroom, and a shower 4 that is fitted to be able to slide up and down along the guide bar 2. It consists of a shower bracket 3. A height adjustment handle 3a is attached to the shower bracket 3 and is screwed together so as to press it toward the guide bar 2. By tightening the height adjustment handle 3a, an arbitrary height on the guide bar 2 can be adjusted. The shower bracket 3 is fixed in this position. Although the height adjustment handle 3a is originally attached to the right side of the shower bracket 3 (the back side in the drawing), it is shown attached to the left side for purposes of illustration. In addition, numeral 5 in the same figure indicates a faucet for adjusting the flow rate of hot water for the shower. Therefore, the sliding shower hanger 1 as described above
Although the height and swing direction of the shower 4 could be adjusted, the inclination angle could not be adjusted, and the position of water spray from the bathroom wall could not be adjusted in perspective. Furthermore, when adjusting the height and swing direction, the shower bracket 3 is fixed by pressing the metal screw part protruding from the height adjustment handle 3a directly onto the guide bar 2. Many tightening scratches remained on the sliding surface of the guide bar 2, and in severe cases, the cross-sectional shape of the guide bar 2 could become distorted. This not only makes it impossible for the shower bracket 3 to slide, but also, if the guide bar 2 is made of metal, corrosion occurs due to the tightening scratches, making it very unsightly.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.
A new and convenient universal shower hanger that is universally adjustable in terms of swing direction and height and does not damage the guide bar.
The purpose of this project is to provide a shower hanger.

The present invention will be described below based on drawings showing embodiments thereof.

Figures 2 to 4 show the proposed shower hanger, with Figure 2 being an overall perspective view showing how it is attached to a bathroom vertical wall, Figure 3 being a front sectional view, and Figure 4 being a shower bracket. 10 is a partially cutaway partial perspective view showing the holding structure of No. 10. FIG.

In FIG. 2, the present shower hanger consists of a round guide bar 2 and a hanger body 11.
The guide bar 2 is made of a hollow round pipe similar to the conventional guide bar, and is installed vertically on the wall of the bathroom, and a shower 4 is attached to the guide bar 2 via a shower hose 4a extending from its end. The hanger body 11 consists of a thrust member 6, a slide body 7, a shower bracket 10, a height determining handle 8, and an angle determining handle 9, and these components are assembled with each other as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the hanger body 11 has a structure that performs two functions. One is a height positioning structure and the other is a tilt angle determining structure. First, the height-determining structure will be explained. The height determining structure consists of a slide body 7 and a height determining handle 8. The slide body 7 is shaped like a round bar, and the axis of the slide body 7 is orthogonal to the axis of the guide bar 2. A slide hole 7a for fitting the guide bar 2 is formed through the cylindrical surface of the slide body 7, and a press hole 7b extending along the axis of the slide body 7 is formed from the inner peripheral surface of the slide hole 7a. A hole is provided toward the end of the shaft to which the height determining handle 8 is attached. An annular cylindrical gap 7c surrounding the press hole 7b is provided around the shaft end opening of the press hole 7b.
A male screw 7e for the height-determining handle 8 is formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical wall 7d at a circumferential distance between the press hole 7b and the annular cylindrical space 7c. The height-determining handle 8 includes a cylindrical threaded portion 8a in which a female thread is carved to be screwed into the male thread 7e of the slide body 7, and a press rod 8b that protrudes along the rotation axis of the cylindrical threaded portion 8a. and a rotary handle portion 8c having a diameter one size smaller than the diameter of the slide body 7. A soft presser 12 made of resin, elastic rubber, etc. is fixed to the tip of the pressing rod 8b, and the cylindrical wall 7d of the slide body 7 and the cylindrical threaded portion 8a of the height determining handle 8 are screwed together. Sometimes, the presser 12 and the pressing rod 8b are inserted into the pressing hole 7b of the slide body 7. When the slide body 7 is fitted to the guide bar 2, the height determining handle 8
By tightening, the presser 12 is attached to the guide bar 2.
The slide body 7 is fixed at an arbitrary height position by pressing the side surface of the slide body 7.

Next, the inclination angle determining structure will be explained. The tilting angle determining structure includes the slide body 7, the tilting handle 9, the thrust member 6, and the shower bracket 10. The thrust member 6 is formed into a thin cylindrical shape and is fitted onto the slide body 7. As can be seen from FIG. 2, an elongated hole 6a with a width slightly wider than the diameter of the guide bar 2 is provided on the circumferential surface of the thrust member 6 through its upper and lower circumferential surfaces. It is perforated like this. As shown in FIG. 3, a male screw 7f for the angle-determining handle 9 is carved on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft end of the slide body 7 on the side where the height-determining handle 8 is provided. A cylindrical angle-determining handle 9 having the same outer diameter as the thrust member 6 is screwed onto the screw 7f so as to come into contact with the peripheral edge of the thrust member 6. Further, the shower bracket 10 is held at the end of the shaft opposite to the angle adjustment handle 9 so as to be rotatable along a vertical plane perpendicular to the axis of the slide body 7.
The structure for holding the shower bracket 10 and the slide body 7 is, as shown in FIG. This is done by fitting into a T-slot 7g provided through the shaft end of the shaft. The base portion 10b of the shower bracket 10 is disk-shaped and has the same outer diameter as the thrust member 6. In addition, in FIG. 3, a slip washer 13 is provided between the shower bracket 10 and the thrust member 6.
is mediated. Therefore, in the tilt angle determining structure constructed as described above, by moving the shower bracket 10 to an arbitrary angle and then tightening the angle determining handle 9, the angle determining handle 9 can be attached to the thrust member 6 and the washer. 13 to press the back peripheral portion of the base portion 10b of the shower bracket 10.
Since the base portion 10b is locked to the slide body 7 by the bulging portion 10a, the shower bracket 10 is fixed by these opposing forces.

The height positioning structure and the tilt angle determining structure are operated separately, and their movements are also independent. Therefore, the inclination angle of the shower bracket 10 can be adjusted while the height position of the hanger main body 11 is fixed, and
It is possible to adjust the height and swing direction of the hanger body 11 while keeping the inclination angle of the shower bracket 10 fixed.

FIG. 5 is a cutaway perspective view showing another embodiment. The structural differences between the present shower hanger of the above embodiment and the present shower hanger shown in the same figure are the shower bracket 10 and the height-determining handle 8.
There it is.

The shower bracket 10 has a base portion 10b that is

By tightening, the actuating force that presses the base portion 10b of the shower bracket 10 via the thrust member 6 and the reaction force generated by the back surface 14a of the screw head of the stepped screw 14 are used to fix the screw.

The height determining handle 8 is shaped like a lever and is attached to the front surface of the hanger body 11. A raised platform 7h is formed on the circumferential surface of the slide body 7 so as to protrude in the circumferential direction. On the raised platform 7h,
A threaded portion 7e for the height-determining handle 8 is bored facing the slide hole 7a for the guide bar 2, and the threaded portion 8a of the height-determining handle 8 is screwed into the threaded portion 7e. The tip of the threaded portion 8a of the height-determining handle 8 has a
A soft presser 12 is fixed and presses the guide bar 2. Furthermore, an elongated hole-shaped notch 6b for the raised platform 7h of the slide body 7 is bored in the front side peripheral surface of the thrust member 6. The threaded portion 8a of the height determining handle 8 has a large pitch, and by rotating the height determining handle 8 by 1/4 turn or less, the vertical movement can be switched between fixed and sliding. It is preferable that

FIG. 6 shows yet another embodiment, in which a thrust member 6 is fitted inside a slide body 7. As shown in FIG. Incidentally, since the other structures are similar to those of each of the embodiments described above, only the names of the respective symbols shown in the drawings will be listed. 2 is a guide bar, 6 is a thrust member, 6a is a long hole for guide bar 2, 6b
1 is a long hole for the holding tool 12, 7 is a slide body, 7h is a raised base for the height determining handle 8, 9 is an angle determining handle, 10 is a shower bracket, and 10a is a bulge. As shown in the above embodiments, the configuration and the shape of each part of the present shower hanger can be changed as appropriate depending on the embodiment.
In the case of a height-determining handle, the pressing screw part itself may be made of resin to serve as a presser.

As is clear from the above description, according to the universal shower hanger according to the present invention, the tilt angle, swing direction, and height of the shower can be adjusted to a desired state of use. Furthermore, by combining these operations, hot water can be showered to any desired location in the entire bathroom. Therefore, the attachment position of the shower itself can be arbitrary.
Furthermore, when adjusting the swinging direction, the shower pedestal for locking the shower is not rotated around the guide bar as in the past, but is designed so that it projects in the circumferential direction around the guide bar. Since the shower hose rotates, not only can water be sprayed over a wide area, but also the shower hose does not cover the shower faucet when it rotates.
Further, since the height adjustment is carried out by pressing the soft presser against the guide bar, it has many excellent advantages such as not damaging the guide bar.
