[Figure 8] 2 is a cross-sectional view of the shower hook taken along line AA in FIG. 1(a). [Figure 9] 1(a) is a cross-sectional view of the shower hook taken along line CC shown in FIG. [Figure 10]FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a modified shower hook. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a shower hook 10 according to an embodiment. Fig. 1(a) shows the shower hook 10 as viewed from the front side, and Fig. 1(b) shows the shower hook 10 as viewed from the back side. Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the shower hook 10.

[0010] The shower hook 10 is a bathroom accessory used in the bathroom and holds a shower head. The shower hook 10 is composed of a bathroom accessory body 11 and a magnetic sheet 16, and can be attached to the bathroom wall by the adhesive force of the magnetic sheet 16. This allows the user to attach the shower hook 10 to the desired position on the bathroom wall. By using the magnetic sheet 16, the weight of the magnet can be reduced.

[0011] The bathroom item body 11 is not limited to a form that holds a shower head. For example, the bathroom item body 11 may be a shelf for storing soap or shampoo, a hook for supporting a bathtub cover, or a hook for hanging a bucket. In any case, the bathroom item body 11 is attached to the bathroom wall by the magnetic sheet 16.

[0012] The bathroom accessory main body 11 includes a base 12, a shower head holder 14, a rotation mechanism 18, a clip mechanism 20, and a cover plate 22. A magnetic sheet 16 is attached to the base 12. The base 12 will be described with reference to new drawings.

[0013] Fig. 3(a) is a perspective view of the base portion 12 as viewed from the back side, and Fig. 3(b) is a back view of the base portion 12. Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged view of the base portion 12 as viewed from the back side. The base portion 12 has a protruding portion 24, a thick portion 26, a curved portion 28, a side wall portion 30, a first partition wall 32a, a second partition wall 32b, an outer peripheral wall 34, a first receiving surface 37, a first cavity portion 38a, a second cavity portion 38b, and a ventilation portion 39.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the thick portion 26 is formed so as to be thicker than the side edge portion from the upper end to the side wall portion 30. The curved portion 28 is curved so as to rise from the thick portion 26 toward the side wall portion 30, forming an arc at the base portion of the side wall portion 30. The thick portion 26 and the curved portion 28 improve the rigidity of the base portion 12, making the base portion 12 less likely to bend. When the user changes the rotation position of the shower head holding portion 14 downward, a force pulling the base portion 12 diagonally downward is input to the shower hook 10. At this time, the rigidity of the base portion 12 is sufficiently ensured by the thick portion 26 and the curved portion 28, so that it is possible to prevent the base portion 12 from bending and the magnet sheet 16 from being released from the adsorption.

[0015] A pair of sidewalls 30 are provided parallel to each other and stand on the surface of the base 12. The shower head holder 14, the rotation mechanism 18, and the like are disposed between the pair of sidewalls 30. The sidewalls 30 can cover the rotation shaft of the rotation mechanism 18, and the like. The overhang 24 is formed in a plate shape so as to connect the bottoms of the pair of sidewalls 30.

[0016] The attachment surface 32 is located on the back side of the base portion 12, and the magnetic sheet 16 is attached to it. The outer peripheral wall 34 is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the back side of the base portion 12. The attachment surface 32 is formed on the inside of the outer peripheral wall 34. The magnetic sheet 16 is attached to the back side of the bathroom accessory main body 11, over almost the entire inside area of ​​the outer peripheral wall 34. This allows the shower hook 10 to be attached to the wall surface in the bathroom.

[0017] The through holes 36 are formed penetrating the base portion 12 from the back side to the front side, and a plurality of them are formed between the pair of side wall portions 30. The through holes 36 open on the attachment surface 32 side, and screws can be inserted therethrough. The screws are inserted from the back side of the base portion 12 and are used to fix the rotation mechanism portion 18 to the base portion 12. The screws are not screwed into the through holes 36, and have a gap between them. As shown in FIG. 4, a first receiving surface 37 is formed on the back side of the base portion 12, located on the back peripheral portion of the through holes 36, and receives the seating surface of the screw 48. The first receiving surface 37 is formed in an annular shape and is provided at a position recessed from the attachment surface 32.

[0018] The first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b are recessed into the attachment surface 32. The first cavity 38a is located on the back side of the pair of side wall portions 30, and the second cavity 38b is located on the back side of the thick portion 26. The second cavity 38b is divided into a plurality of rooms by a plurality of first partition walls 32a extending in the vertical direction and a plurality of second partition walls 32b extending in the horizontal direction, and is arranged side by side vertically. The first partition walls 32a and the second partition walls 32b are intersected to form a lattice shape. The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction. The first partition walls 32a and the second partition walls 32b can increase the adhesion area of ​​the magnet sheet 16.

[0019] The first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b can prevent sink marks and flatten the attachment surface 32. The backsides of the first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b are closed by the magnetic sheet 16. The air in the first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b is heated by the hot water during showering and expands. If this expanded air causes the magnetic sheet 16 to partially bulge, the magnetic sheet 16 may lose its adhesion to the bathroom wall. The expanded air may also cause the magnetic sheet 16 to peel off from the attachment surface 32.

[0020] Therefore, the base portion 12 has a ventilation portion 39 that ventilates the internal space of the first cavity portion 38a and the second cavity portion 38b with the external space outside the bathroom accessory main body 11. The ventilation portion 39 allows the air in the first cavity portion 38a and the second cavity portion 38b to escape to the outside of the base portion 12, thereby suppressing the bulging of the magnetic sheet 16.

[0021] The ventilation portion 39 includes the insertion hole 36, the first communication grooves 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 40e, and 40f (when these are not distinguished, they are referred to as the "first communication groove 40"), the second communication groove 42, the first ventilation groove 44, and the second ventilation groove 46. The ventilation portion 39 communicates with the outside from the first cavity portion 38a and the second cavity portion 38b. The ventilation portion 39 includes the insertion hole 36, and thus opens to the attachment surface 32 and also opens to the front side of the base portion 12, penetrating the base portion 12 that constitutes a part of the bathroom equipment main body 11. The ventilation portion 39 penetrates at least the part that forms the attachment surface 32 of the bathroom equipment main body 11. In the shower hook 10, the part that forms the attachment surface 32 is the base portion 12.

[0022] The first communication groove 40 is formed by recessing the attachment surface 32 around the insertion hole 36, and is formed as a linear groove. The first communication grooves 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d extend in the vertical direction, and the first communication grooves 40e, 40f extend in the horizontal direction, and the first communication groove 40 is formed in a lattice shape. The first communication grooves 40b, 40c are perpendicular to the first communication grooves 40e, 40f. The first communication grooves 40a, 40d communicate from the second cavity 38b to the first ventilation groove 44 and the insertion hole 36, and the first communication grooves 40e, 40f communicate from the first cavity 38a to the first ventilation groove 44 and the insertion hole 36. The first communication grooves 40e, 40f communicate with each other between the first cavities 38a.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 4, the second communication groove 42 is recessed into the first partition wall 32a and the second partition wall 32b so as to communicate the second cavities 38b with each other. The second communication groove 42 formed in the first partition wall 32a can communicate the second cavities 38b arranged in the left-right direction. The second communication groove 42 formed in the second partition wall 32b can communicate the second cavities 38b arranged in the up-down direction. This allows the second cavities 38b to communicate up-down and left-right. The second communication groove 42 is located at the bottom of the second cavities 38b and is located so as to contact the bottom surface of the second cavities 38b. This can prevent water from accumulating in the second cavities 38b.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 4, the first ventilation grooves 44 are recessed into the first receiving surface 37, and four of them are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction and arranged in a cross shape. The first ventilation grooves 44 are arranged so as to communicate with the first communication grooves 40. Since the first ventilation grooves 44 are formed in the first receiving surface 37, even when the screw is fastened, a gap is provided between the seat surface of the screw and the first receiving surface 37, and an air passage is secured. As a result, the ventilation section 39 communicates from the first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b to the first communication groove 40, the first ventilation grooves 44, and the insertion hole 36.

[0025] FIG. 5 is a perspective cross-sectional view of the base 12 as viewed from the front side. The rotation mechanism 18 is fixed to the front side of the base 12 by a screw. At this time, the second receiving surface 45 located on the periphery of the front opening of the insertion hole 36 can be blocked by the rotation mechanism 18. The second receiving surface 45 is a surface facing the rotation mechanism 18. Therefore, the second ventilation groove 46 is formed by being recessed in the second receiving surface 45 located around the front side of the insertion hole 36. The second ventilation groove 46 is formed in a plurality of radial directions from the insertion hole 36 on the surface of the base 12. The second ventilation groove 46 is formed on each of the periphery of the front opening of the plurality of insertion holes 36. The second ventilation groove 46 is arranged to extend in the lateral direction and is arranged not to extend at least upward. This reduces the possibility that water will enter through the second ventilation groove 46.

[0026] The second ventilation groove 46 prevents the ventilation portion 39 from being blocked by the rotation mechanism 18. The ventilation portion 39 provides ventilation from the first hollow portion 38a and the second hollow portion 38b through the first communication groove 40, the first ventilation groove 44, the insertion hole 36, and the second ventilation groove 46, and provides ventilation from the first hollow portion 38a and the second hollow portion 38b to the outside of the base portion 12.

[0027] Returning to Fig. 2, the shower head holding part 14 has a rotation shaft part 70 and a support protrusion part 72 on both side surfaces, and is connected to the support part 50 of the rotation mechanism part 18 and the cover plate 22. The shower head holding part 14 also houses the clip mechanism part 20 in the first recess part 74 and the slit 76.

[0028] The rotation mechanism 18 supports the shower head holder 14 so that it can rotate relative to the base 12. The rotation mechanism 18 has a support portion 50, a pawl portion 52, a gear portion 54, and a first biasing portion.

[0029] The support part 50 is fixed to the base part 12 with screws, and rotatably supports the shower head holding part 14. The rotating shaft part 70 of the shower head holding part 14 is inserted into the axial hole part 50a of the support part 50, and is connected to the shower head holding part 14. The pair of axial holes 50a are erected in parallel from the main body of the support part 50.

[0030] The pawl portion 52 engages with the center portion of the support portion 50 and is pressed against the gear portion 54 by the first biasing portion. The first biasing portion is provided between the support portion 50 and the pawl portion 52, as will be described in detail later. The pawl portion 52 protrudes so as to be able to engage with the teeth of the gear portion 54. The gear portion 54 fits into the rear surface of the showerhead holding portion 14. The engagement of the pawl portion 52 with the gear portion 54 determines the rotational holding position of the showerhead holding portion 14. The rotation mechanism portion 18 rotates the showerhead holding portion 14 relative to the base portion 12, so that the rotational holding position of the showerhead holding portion 14 relative to the base portion 12 can be changed in stages. This makes it easy to adjust the water discharge direction of the showerhead.

[0031] The clip mechanism 20 has a clamping portion 60, a lever shaft portion 62, a second biasing portion, and a cushion portion 66. The lever portion 58 fits into a first recess 74 of the shower head holding portion 14 and swings around the lever shaft portion 62 as a rotation axis. The lever shaft portion 62 is supported in an axis hole of the shower head holding portion 14. The cushion portion 66 is made of a rubber material, is fitted onto one end of the lever portion 58, and abuts against the shower head. The pair of clamping portions 60 engage the other end of the lever portion 58 and open and close in response to the swing of the lever portion 58. The pair of clamping portions 60 fit into slits 76 of the shower head holding portion 14.

[0032] When the shower head is held by the shower hook 10, one end of the lever portion 58 is pushed backward. This causes the other end of the lever portion 58 to come forward, and the pair of clamping portions 60 are pushed by the lever portion 58 and close toward each other. This clamps the shower head and stabilizes the holding state. When the shower head is released, one end of the lever portion 58 is pushed forward by the second biasing portion, and the pair of clamping portions 60 open in conjunction with the lever portion 58.

[0033] The cover plate 22 is rotatably supported by a support protrusion 72 formed on the side surface of the shower head holding part 14. One end of the cover plate 22 is supported by the support protrusion 72, and the other end, which is a free end, of the cover plate 22 is placed on the overhanging part 24. The cover plate 22 covers the gap between the base part 12 and the lower part of the shower head holding part 14.

[0034] Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the shower hook 10 taken along line AA in Fig. 1(a). The magnet sheet 16 has a soft material 16a for adhering the magnet to the attachment surface 32 of the base part 12. The soft material 16a is made of a soft material such as a foam material. The first communication grooves 40 are formed on all four sides of the attachment surface 32 around the insertion hole 36 so that the other first communication grooves 40 communicate even if the soft material 16a partially blocks the first communication grooves 40.

[0035] The screw 48 is inserted into the insertion hole 36 with a gap therebetween, and is screwed into the screw hole 50b of the support part 50. This fixes the support part 50 to the base part 12. The shower head holding part 14 is located on the front side of the rotation mechanism part 18.

[0036] The gear portion 54 fits into the second recess 78 of the support portion 50. The lever portion 58 is housed in the first recess 74 of the shower head holding portion 14, and the second biasing portion 64 biases the lever portion 58 in a direction away from the first recess 74.

[0037] A first cavity 38a is formed recessed at a position on the back side of the side wall portion 30, and communicates with the insertion hole 36 by a first communication groove 40e. A seat surface 48a of the screw 48 abuts against the first receiving surface 37, but ventilation is maintained by the first ventilation groove 44.

[0038] When the screws 48 are fastened, the support portion 50 is positioned so as to block the front side of the insertion hole 36, but since the second ventilation groove 46 is formed on the periphery of the front opening of the insertion hole 36, ventilation is maintained on the front side of the insertion hole 36 as well. In this manner, the ventilation portion 39 is ventilated from the first hollow portion 38a through the first communication groove 40e, the first ventilation groove 44, the insertion hole 36, and the second ventilation groove 46, and communicates with the outside. This allows air expanded within the first hollow portion 38a to escape to the outside.

[0039] The support part 50 (first part) is fixed to the base part 12 with screws 48, and is arranged on the front side of the base part 12 so as to cover, from the front side, the opening of the ventilation part 39 located on the front side of the base part 12, i.e., the opening of the insertion hole 36 which is the ventilation part 39. This makes it difficult for the support part 50 to allow water to enter the ventilation part 39. The shower head holding part 14 (second part) is provided on the front side of the first part, and is arranged so as to cover the first part and the ventilation part 39. This makes it difficult for water to enter the ventilation part 39 from the outside. Arranging it so as to cover it means that it is not visible from the front side, which makes it difficult for the user to see and improves the design.

[0040] 7 is a perspective view of the shower head holding part 14, the cover plate 22, and the support part 50 assembled together. That is, the shower hook 10 is shown without the base part 12.

[0041] The rotating shaft 70 of the shower head holding part 14 is journaled in the shaft hole 50a of the support part 50. The cover plate 22 is journaled on the support protrusion 72. The rotating shaft 70 and the support protrusion 72 are parallel shafts. This allows the cover plate 22 to move when the shower head holding part 14 rotates.

[0042] The cover plate 22 has ribs 22a on both sides to increase its rigidity. The free end side of the ribs 22a is thinner than the center part. This allows the cover plate 22 to slide smoothly against the protruding part 24 of the base part 12 when it moves in response to the rotational movement of the shower head holding part 14.

[0043] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the shower hook 10 taken along line AA in Fig. 1(a). The pawl portion 52 is urged toward the gear portion 54 by the first urging portion 56, and the protrusion 52a of the pawl portion 52 hooks onto the central tooth portion 54a of the gear portion 54. The pawl portion 52 is movable between a hooking position where the pawl portion 52 hooks onto any of the teeth 54a of the gear portion 54 to restrict the rotation of the gear portion 54, and a hook release position where the hooking is released.

[0044] The first biasing portion 56 biases the pawl portion 52 toward the hooking position. When the shower head holding part 14 rotates, the pawl portion 52 is pushed by the gear portion 54, which rotates together with the shower head holding part 14, and retracts against the first biasing portion 56, and engages with the gear portion 54 at the position of the teeth portion 54a. The gear portion 54 may be integral with the shower head holding part 14. Since the user can adjust the rotational position of the shower head holding part 14 by resisting the first biasing portion 56, the force required for the rotation operation can be reduced, and the possibility that the magnetic sheet 16 will be released from its adsorption due to the operating force can be reduced.

[0045] The support part 50 has a through hole 50c penetrating at a position where the ratchet part 52 is disposed, and is ventilated. The through hole 50c of the support part 50 may function as the ventilation part 39. The shower head holding part 14 is located on the front side of the support part 50 and disposed so as to cover the through hole 50c of the support part 50, so that it is possible to prevent water from entering the internal space of the first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b.

[0046] The cover plate 22 is connected to the shower head holding part 14 and placed on the overhanging part 24. The cover plate 22 moves back and forth following the movement of the shower head holding part 14, while maintaining the state where it is placed on the overhanging part 24. This makes it possible to close the gap between the shower head holding part 14 and the support part 50.

[0047] The lever portion 58 of the clip mechanism 20 is biased by the second biasing portion 64 in a direction to come out of the first recess 74. When the shower head is inserted into the shower head holding portion 14, one end of the lever portion 58 is pressed by the shower head, and the other end of the lever portion 58 is pushed forward. When the shower head is removed, one end of the lever portion 58 is pushed forward by the second biasing portion 64, and the other end of the lever portion 58 returns to the rear. A bifurcated portion 58a is formed at the other end of the lever portion 58, and is connected to the ends 60a of the pair of clamping portions 60. The lever portion 58 can be moved by the shower head coming into contact with the lever portion 58 when the shower head is placed in a holding position to be held by the shower head holding portion 14.

[0048] 9 is a cross-sectional view of the shower hook 10 taken along line CC in FIG. 1(a). The forked portion 58a of the lever portion 58 pinches the ends 60a of the pair of clamping portions 60. When the forked portion 58a moves rearward, the pair of clamping portions 60 approach each other. When the forked portion 58a moves forward, the pair of clamping portions 60 spread apart.

[0049] This causes the pair of clamping parts 60 to open and close in conjunction with the swinging of lever part 58. In particular, when a showerhead is held by showerhead holding part 14, one end of lever part 58 is pushed rearward by the showerhead, causing bifurcated part 58a of lever part 58 to move forward, causing the pair of clamping parts 60 to close and clamp the showerhead. Clip mechanism part 20 is configured to clamp the showerhead held by showerhead holding part 14, and to return to opening when the showerhead is removed.

[0050] If a user grabs the shower head and tries to rotate it beyond the rotation limit of the shower head holding part 14, there is a possibility that the suction of the shower hook 10 will come loose. Even if the suction of the shower hook 10 comes loose, the shower head is clamped by the clip mechanism part 20, so the shower hook 10 can be prevented from coming loose from the shower head and falling. Therefore, the user does not need to hold the shower hook 10 while rotating it.

[0051] Figure 10 is a perspective view of a modified shower hook 100. The shower hook 100 shown in Figure 10 differs from the shower hook 10 shown in Figure 1(a) in that it has an indicator 84 that indicates the range within which the shower head holder 14 can be rotated.

[0052] The display unit 84 has a reference mark 80, a first boundary mark 82a, a center mark 82b, and a second boundary mark 82c. The reference mark 80 is formed on the shower head holding unit 14, and is formed in a position close to the side wall 30 of the pedestal 12. The reference mark 80 indicates the rotational position of the shower head holding unit 14.

[0053] The first boundary mark 82a indicates the upper limit of the rotation range of the shower head holding part 14, the second boundary mark 82c indicates the lower limit of the rotation range of the shower head holding part 14, and the center mark 82b indicates the center position of the rotation range of the shower head holding part 14. When the shower head holding part 14 rotates and the reference mark 80 reaches the first boundary mark 82a, it indicates that the shower head holding part 14 cannot be rotated upward. On the other hand, when the shower head holding part 14 rotates and the reference mark 80 reaches the second boundary mark 82c, it indicates that the shower head holding part 14 cannot be rotated downward.

[0054] By looking at the display unit 84, the user can understand the limit of the operation of the shower head holding part 14, reducing the possibility of the user attempting to rotate the shower head holding part 14 beyond the operating limit. This reduces the possibility of the user applying excessive input diagonally downward or upward to the shower head holding part 14 and unintentionally releasing the adsorption of the shower hook 10.

[0055] It should be noted that the embodiments are merely illustrative, and various modifications are possible in the combination of each component, and it is understood by those skilled in the art that such modifications are also within the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the descriptions and drawings in this specification should be treated as illustrative rather than restrictive.

[0056] For example, a waterproof and breathable sheet may be attached to the back side of the insertion hole 36. This can prevent water from entering the first cavity 38a and the second cavity 38b.

[0057] In the embodiment, the first ventilation groove 44 is formed in the base portion 12, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
