Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of towel racks, in particular to a rotatable and expandable towel rack. Background Art

[0002] As an important accessory in the bathroom, the basic function of a towel rack is to provide a dry and clean storage space for towels. The traditional towel rack has a simple design, usually including a horizontal bar for hanging towels and possible fixing devices to ensure its stability on the wall. This design has been widely used in daily life because it meets the basic hanging needs and is easy to install and clean.

[0003] Although traditional towel racks perform well in meeting basic needs, they have certain limitations in terms of expandability and versatility. For example, when users need to temporarily place other items such as clothing or towels, the single horizontal bar of a traditional towel rack may not provide enough space or a suitable design to meet this need. This may cause users to have to find other storage solutions, such as stacking on the floor or using other furniture, which is not only unsightly but may also increase the clutter of the bathroom.

[0004] Therefore, some towel racks with expansion functions have appeared on the market. These towel racks are designed with additional hooks, baskets or other accessories so that users can hang or place more items. However, although this design improves functionality, these additional expansion parts are often difficult to hide when fully stored, affecting the overall aesthetics. In addition, some towel racks with expansion functions are complicated to operate and not flexible enough when converted to the expansion state, which may reduce the user experience.

[0005] In view of this, the applicant filed this application after studying the existing technology. Utility Model Content

The side wall of the receiving groove 7 is provided with an inclined protrusion 10 adapted to the inclined side surface 8. The first limiting member 6 is configured to be able to extend from the connecting base 11 to the fixed base 9 to be limited to the inclined side surface 8, and can be limited to the inclined side surface 8 from different angles with the inclined protrusion 10.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the number of the inclined protrusions 10 is not less than two. The inclined side surface 8 is provided with a limiting groove for the first limiting member 6 to be embedded. Figure 5 The scheme of the towel rack in the middle is described as a scheme for normal use. In normal use, guide ribs are respectively provided on the left and right sides and the lower side of the receiving groove 7. The first limiting member 6 is a top screw, which passes through the lower rib and pushes upward, so as to be embedded in the limiting groove below the fixed base 9. Two inclined protrusions 10 are provided on the upper side of the receiving groove 7 to be embedded in the gap between the inclined surface and the wall under the condition of dead weight, and cannot be dislodged under the limiting condition of the first limiting member 6, which has a good fastening effect and can firmly fix the connecting base 11 on the fixed base 9. The fixed base 9 is fixed to the wall by fasteners.

[0039] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, based on the above embodiment, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, the base assembly is provided with a rotation groove 1. At least part of the rotation seat 12 is rotatably embedded in the rotation groove 1. Preferably, the rotation seat 12 is provided with a rotation hole 2 rotatably sleeved on the rotation shaft portion 13 on one side facing the fixed rod 4.

[0040] Specifically, one side of the rotating seat 12 is embedded in the rotating groove 1, and the other side is placed on the rotating shaft portion 13 through the rotating hole 2, thereby ensuring stability and avoiding shaking, and providing a good user experience.

[0041] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, one of the base assembly and the rotating seat 12 is provided with a first limiting protrusion.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a structure of this embodiment, the two movable rods 5 are both straight rods, and the sum of the lengths of the two straight rods is almost the same as the length of the fixed rod 4 .

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in another structure of this embodiment, the lengths of the two movable rods 5 are much smaller than the fixed rod 4, and an extension portion extending radially outward is provided around the end of the movable rod 5 away from the rotating seat 12, so as to facilitate hanging items such as clothes and hats, not limited to towels. In other embodiments, the movable rods 5 on both sides can be set as straight rods on one side and provided with extension portions on the other side. The present invention does not limit the structure of the two movable rods 5, as long as they can extend outward by rotating to expand the storage capacity of the towel rack.

[0048] The above description is only the preferred implementation of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes.
