Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements in shower head support hardware.

Details of a conventional shower head support metal fitting and its installed state are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

01 is the wall inside the shower room, 02 is the hand shower head, 03 is the flexible water supply pipe, 04 is the shower head upper support hardware, 05 is the shower head lower support hardware, and 06 is the water supply valve.

As shown in the drawing, the support hardware for the hand shower head 02 is normally attached to the top (approximately 1800 mm above the floor) and bottom (approximately 1800 mm above the floor) of the shower chamber wall.
1000mm) and attach the shower head 02 to the shower head upper support metal fitting 04 or the shower head lower support metal fitting 0 depending on the purpose of use of the shower head.
I use it by multiplying it by 5.

Since the conventional hand shower head 02 is fixed to the wall surface 01 only in two places, the upper and lower parts, it is possible to adjust the height according to the user's height or move it to the height desired by the user. First, when it is intended for use by the general public (particularly adults and children), it is not possible for each user to use it in an optimal position.

This invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.
One embodiment of the flexible shower head support hardware is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

1 is a wall in the shower room, 2 is a hand shower head, 3 is a flexible water supply pipe, and 4 is a flexible hand shower head support hardware. Reference numeral 5 denotes a guide rail for a flexible hand shower head support hardware, and the guide rail 5 has a bar-like shape with a semicircular cross section.
A groove 5a is formed on the semicircumference (no groove is formed on the flat surface).

The flexible hand shower head support hardware 4 is made of a material with stability (spring), such as a stainless steel plate or a plastic plate, and has a shape.
A semicircular hole 4 through which a guide rail 5 passes through at one end
(a) It is a hardware having a hand shower head gripping part 4b in the center.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

First, the guide rail 5 is penetrated through the hole 4a of the support hardware 4, the lower end 4c is crimped onto the guide rail 5, and the guide rail 5 is fixed perpendicularly to the wall surface 1. In this case, since the supporting hardware 4 has stability (spring), the restoring force (spring) acts in the direction of the guide rail 5, and the supporting hardware 4 is inserted into the groove machined on the semicircular surface of the guide rail 5. 2. Since the lower end is crimped, it can be fixed in any position without falling. By hanging the hand shower head 1 on the fixed support hardware 4, the user can use the shower at the optimum position desired by the user.

In order to move the shower head support hardware 4 up and down, the lower end 4c of the support hardware 4 is pulled from the groove 5a of the guide rail 5 by hand in the direction of the arrow (→) (toward the front). Since the guide rails 5 are separated from each other (in this case, there is no groove on the back surface of the guide rail 5, that is, the flat surface), it can be easily moved up and down.

When the hand is removed from the lower end 4c of the support hardware 4, the lower end 4c of the support hardware 4 is automatically pressed into the groove 5a of the guide rail 5 and fixed.

Further, the shape of the hole 4a in the upper part of the support hardware 4 is semicircular, and is slightly larger than the guide rail 5, so that the support hardware 4 always faces forward without rotating.

Especially when a short person (dwarf) or a physically disabled person using a wheelchair tries to use the shower head, the previous user may have fixed the shower head support hardware 4 at a very high position (out of reach). Also, if you pull the lower part of the flexible water supply pipe 3 toward you, the groove 5a of the guide rail 5 and the lower end 4 of the shower head support metal fitting 4
When c separates, it automatically falls and stops at a low position.

The present invention is as follows: (1) Adjustment of the height of the support hardware for general household clothes-drying poles.

(2) Supporting hardware for items that require height adjustment, such as curtains, banners, bulletin boards, etc.

(3) Exercise equipment (support hardware for high jump bar)
etc.

It can be widely implemented.

As described above, the present invention has a guide rail with a semicircular cross-section and a grooved circumference, which is penetrated by a semicircular hole drilled in a supporting metal fitting made of a material with stability, and This is a flexible shower head support hardware in which the lower end of the support hardware is crimped into the groove and the guide rail is attached vertically to the wall of the shower room.(1) The shower head can be moved to the optimal height position desired by the user. Can be fixed.

(2) It is very easy to operate and has a very simple structure, so there will be no failures.

(3) The guide rail and shower head support hardware's through holes (for guide rails) are semicircular, so the support hardware always faces forward without rotating.

(4) Grooves are cut on the semicircular surface of the guide rail to provide unevenness, which prevents it from falling due to vibrations, etc.
