[0008] The support according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, for ease of explanation, the "right" is defined as the right side when the user is facing the support, the opposite side is defined as the left side, and the "front" is defined as the front side and the opposite side is defined as the rear side. In addition, in the following, a person who uses an item supported by the support will be referred to as a "user," and a person who performs maintenance on the item (such as filling it with liquid) or works to have the item supported by the support will be referred to as a "worker." However, the user and the worker may be the same person.

[0009] First Embodiment Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a support 100 of the first embodiment. Fig. 2(a) is a front view, a plan view, and a side view showing an example of the configuration of the support 100. The support 100 supports a dispenser container 1 as an example of an article. Here, the dispenser container 1 is a container that can dispense an appropriate amount of a content filled in the dispenser container 1 in response to an operation by a user. The dispenser container 1 is filled with a liquid such as shampoo, conditioner, or liquid body soap.

[0010] The dispenser container 1 includes a container body 2 and a dispenser 6. The dispenser container 1 is used in an upright state with the container body 2 located on the lower side and the dispenser 6 located on the upper side.

[0011] The container body 2 has a filling space inside which a filling material can be filled. The container body 2 also has a bottom 3 at its lower end. The bottom 3 is placed on a flat installation surface, thereby maintaining the dispenser container 1 in an upright position. The container body 2 also has a cylindrical opening 4 at its upper end which connects the filling space to the outside (see Figure 7). The outer periphery of the opening 4 is formed with a male thread 5 which screws into a female thread on a cap 8 of a dispenser 6. The container body 2 is made of synthetic resin and has a vertically long cylindrical shape, but the material and shape of the container body 2 are not particularly limited.

[0012] The dispenser 6 sucks up the filling material filled in the container body 2 and dispenses it to the outside. The dispenser 6 has a suction tube 7 inserted into the container body 2, a cap 8 accommodating a pump mechanism that communicates with the suction tube 7, a nozzle 9 that communicates with the pump mechanism, and a head 10 that the user presses to operate the pump mechanism. The inner circumferential surface of the cap 8 is formed with a female thread that screws into the male thread 5 on the outer circumferential surface of the opening 4 of the container body 2. The dispenser 6 is made of synthetic resin with a portion made of metal, but the material and shape of the dispenser 6 are not particularly limited.

[0013] An operator can fasten the container body 2 and the dispenser 6 together by grasping and rotating the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 so that the female thread of the cap 8 is screwed onto the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2. When the container body 2 and the dispenser 6 are integrated, the user can press the head portion 10 to drive the pump mechanism, which sucks up the content inside the container body 2 through the suction tube 7 and dispenses an appropriate amount of the content to the outside from the nozzle 9.

[0014] Meanwhile, an operator can detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 by grasping and rotating the cap 8 so as to loosen the engagement between the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 and the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6. When the dispenser 6 is detached from the container body 2, the opening 4 of the container body 2 is exposed, and the user can fill the container 6 with a filling material through the opening 4 of the container body 2.

[0015] Here, cap 8 of dispenser 6 has a plurality of grooves formed in the vertical direction over the entire outer surface as an anti-slip portion to prevent the worker's hand from slipping when gripping and rotating it. However, the anti-slip portion is not limited to grooves, and may be, for example, a plurality of projections and depressions formed over the entire surface, or a material with a high coefficient of friction may be attached to the outer surface.

[0016] Next, the configuration of the support 100 that supports the dispenser container 1 will be described. The support device 100 includes a first support member 110 and a second support member 120 .

[0017] The first support member 110 is a member that supports the underside of the dispenser container 1. The first support member 110 is also a member for attaching the support tool 100 to an attachment position. The first support member 110 is made of, for example, a substantially plate-shaped metal, and is formed by shearing and bending using a press machine. The first support member 110 is formed in a substantially L-shape in side view. The first support member 110 has an attachment portion 111 that is attached to a wall surface, and a support portion 114 that supports the bottom portion 3 of the dispenser container 1.

[0018] The mounting portion 111 extends in the vertical direction substantially parallel to the wall surface. Magnets 112 are provided on the mounting portion 111 at positions spaced apart in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, a ferromagnetic material to which the magnet 112 is attracted is embedded over substantially the entire surface of the wall surface, and the mounting portion 111 is attached to the wall surface by the magnet 112. The support portion 114 is connected to the mounting portion 111 and extends in the front-rear direction so as to be perpendicular to the wall surface. The bottom portion 3 of the dispenser container 1 is placed on the support portion 114, thereby supporting the weight of the dispenser container 1.

[0019] The second support member 120 is a member that supports the upper side of the dispenser container 1. The second support member 120 is also a member for attaching the holder 100 to an attachment position. The second support member 120 is made of, for example, a substantially plate-shaped metal, and is formed by shearing and bending using a press machine. The second support member 120 is formed in a substantially L-shape in side view. The second support member 120 has an attachment portion 121 that is attached to a wall surface, a support portion 124 that supports the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1, and a plurality of cover portions 126a to 126c.

[0020] The mounting portion 121 is a portion that extends in the vertical direction substantially parallel to the wall surface. The mounting portion 121 is attached to the wall surface by magnets 122 that are provided spaced apart in the left-right direction. The lower side of the mounting portion 121 of the second support member 120 and the upper side of the mounting portion 111 of the first support member 110 overlap in the front-rear direction, and function as an adjustment portion 130 that can adjust the distance between the support portion 114 and the support portion 124. Specifically, the mounting portion 121 of the second support member 120 has a long hole 123 as a guide portion that is long in the vertical direction, and the mounting portion 111 of the first support member 110 has a threaded portion 113 as a guided portion. By guiding the threaded portion 113 along the long hole 123, the distance between the support portion 114 of the first support member 110 and the support portion 124 of the second support member 120 can be adjusted according to the dispenser container 1. The adjustment unit 130 may have a fixing means for fixing the distance adjusted by the operator.

[0021] The support portion 124 is connected to the mounting portion 121 and is a portion that extends in the front-rear direction so as to be perpendicular to the wall surface. The support portion 124 has a hole 125 that penetrates in the vertical direction and through which a part of the dispenser 6 is inserted. The hole 125 of the support portion 124 in this embodiment is large enough to allow the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 to be inserted therethrough. The hole 125 is also approximately triangular in plan view. The width of the hole 125 in the left-right direction is gradually reduced as it approaches the wall surface. By inserting the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 through the hole 125 of the support portion 124, the support portion 124 can support the dispenser container 1 so that it does not tip over.

[0022] The multiple covering portions 126a to 126c cover from the outside the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 supported by the support 100. The covering portions 126a to 126c are positioned below the hole 125 of the support portion 124 so as to be adjacent to the hole 125. The covering portion 126a covers the outer peripheral surface of the front side of the cap 8 from the front side, and the covering portions 126b and 126c cover the outer peripheral surfaces of the right and left sides of the cap 8 from the left and right directions. Therefore, as shown in the side view of FIG. 2(a), the covering portions 126a to 126c are positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 so as to overlap with the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8.

[0023] Moreover, the covering portions 126a to 126c of this embodiment are formed integrally with the support portion 124. Specifically, the covering portions 126a to 126c are formed to extend downward from the opening edge of the hole 125. Furthermore, the height H of the covering portions 126a to 126c is greater than the thickness t of the support portion 124 and less than the height of the cap 8 that is intended to be inserted into the hole 125.

[0024] As described above, the support tool 100 of this embodiment has cover parts 126a to 126c that are positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 and cover the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8. Therefore, even if a user attempts to grip the cap 8 to remove the dispenser 6 from the container body 2, the cover parts 126a to 126c get in the way and prevent the user from gripping the cap 8, making it possible to prevent the dispenser 6 from being easily removed.

[0025] In order for an operator to detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 so as to fill the content through the opening 4 of the container body 2, the dispenser container 1 is shifted from an upright state to an inclined state by pulling it forward, as shown in FIG. 2(b). By shifting the dispenser container 1 to an inclined state, the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 is also inclined. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 in an inclined state contacts the opening edge of the hole 125 or the covering portions 126a to 126c at at least three points. Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 in an inclined state contacts the covering portions 126a to 126c at three points, thereby fixing the cap 8 to the support portion 124.

[0026] Therefore, with the outer peripheral surface of cap 8 in contact with the opening edge of hole 125 or covering portions 126a to 126c, an operator can grasp container body 2 and rotate it to one side, thereby loosening the engagement between male thread 5 of opening 4 of container body 2 and female thread of cap 8 of dispenser 6, since cap 8 is fixed to support portion 124. The operator can detach dispenser 6 from container body 2 by grasping and rotating container body 2 until the engagement between male thread 5 of opening 4 of container body 2 and female thread of cap 8 of dispenser 6 is released. On the other hand, to fasten the dispenser 6 to the container body 2, the worker performs the reverse action of that performed when detaching the dispenser 6 from the container body 2, by grasping the container body 2 and rotating it to the other side, so that the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 screws into the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6, thereby fastening the dispenser 6 to the container body 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the hole 125 is described as being substantially triangular, but the shape is not limited to this. The shape of the hole 125 may be any shape as long as the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 can contact the opening edge of the hole 125 or the covering portions 126a to 126c at at least three points when the dispenser container 1 is tilted.

[0028] In addition, in the present embodiment, the covering portions 126a to 126c are positioned below the hole 125 of the support portion 124 so as to be adjacent to the hole 125, but this is not the only case. The covering portions 126a to 126c may also be positioned above the hole 125 of the support portion 124 so as to be adjacent to the hole 125.

[0029] Second Embodiment Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of support device 200 of the second embodiment. Fig. 4 is a front view, a plan view, and a side view showing an example of the configuration of support device 200. Note that the same components as those of support device 100 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate. The support 200 includes a first support member 210 , a second support member 220 , a cover member 240 , and a release tool 250 .

[0030] The first support member 210 is a member that supports the underside of the dispenser container 1. The first support member 210 is also a member that is used to attach the support tool 200 to an attachment position. The first support member 210 has the same configuration as the first support member 110 of the first embodiment. The second support member 220 is a member that supports the upper side of the dispenser container 1. The second support member 220 is also a member for attaching the support tool 200 to an attachment position. The second support member 220 has an attachment portion 221 that is attached to a wall surface, a support portion 224 that supports the gap between the cap 8 and the head portion 10 of the dispenser container 1, an engaged portion 226 that engages with the engaging portion 244 of the cover member 240, and a locked portion 230. The attachment portion 221 has a configuration similar to that of the attachment portion 121 of the first embodiment.

[0031] The support portion 224 is connected to the mounting portion 221 and extends in the front-rear direction so as to be perpendicular to the wall surface. The support portion 224 has a hole 225 that penetrates in the vertical direction and through which a part of the dispenser 6 is inserted. The hole 225 of the support part 224 is sized to allow the tube between the cap 8 and the head part 10 of the dispenser container 1 to pass through. The front side of the hole 225 is opened via a slit so that the hole 225 communicates with the outside. The hole 225 of the support part 224 allows the tube between the cap 8 and the head part 10 to pass through, and the support part 224 supports the dispenser container 1.

[0032] The engaged portion 226 is a portion that engages with the engaging portion 244 of the covering member 240. The engaged portion 226 of this embodiment has a pair of generally plate-shaped insertion portions 227a, 227b that are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and a holding portion 228 that bridges between the insertion portions 227a and 227b, and is formed in a generally C-shape when viewed from the front. The engaged portion 226 of this embodiment extends forward from the front surface of the mounting portion 221. A tongue-shaped guide portion 229 that guides the engaged portion 226 and the engaging portion 244 when they engage with each other is provided at the front end of the holding portion 228. The locked portion 230 is a portion to which the locking portion 246 is locked. The locked portion 230 in this embodiment is a hole formed in the holding portion 228 of the engaged portion 226.

[0033] The covering member 240 is a member that can be attached to and detached from the second support member 220. The covering member 240 is elastically deformable and is made of synthetic resin, for example, formed as a single unit by injection molding. The covering member 240 is formed in a substantially U-shape in a plan view. The covering member 240 has a covering portion 241, operating portions 243a and 243b that are operated by an operator, an engaging portion 244 that engages with the engaged portion 226, and a guide portion 247.

[0034] The covering portion 241 covers the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 supported by the support 200 from the outside. The covering portion 241 has a hole 242 that penetrates in the vertical direction. The hole 242 of the covering portion 241 is large enough to allow the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 to be inserted therethrough. The hole 242 is open at its rear side via a slit so that it communicates with the outside. By positioning the cap 8 in the hole 242 so that the inner peripheral surface of the hole 242 of the covering portion 241 faces the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8, the covering portion 241 covers the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 from the outside, excluding the rear side. Therefore, as shown in the side view of FIG. 4, when viewed from the side, the covering portion 241 is located outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 and is positioned so as to overlap the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8.

[0035] The operating portions 243a and 243b are bifurcated portions extending rearward from the cover portion 241, and are configured as a pair on the left and right sides with a slit communicating with the hole 242 in between. When an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 243a and 243b to move them closer to each other, the cover portion 241 is deformed to reduce the inner diameter of the hole 242. On the other hand, when the operator releases the application of the external force, the cover portion 241 is deformed to restore the reduced inner diameter of the hole 242. Therefore, when the cap 8 is positioned in the hole 242 of the cover portion 241, applying an external force to the operating portions 243a and 243b increases the contact area between the outer surface of the cap 8 and the hole 242, and releasing the application of the external force decreases the contact area between the outer surface of the cap 8 and the hole 242. Conversely, when an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 243a and 243b to move them away from each other, the cover member 240 is deformed to increase the inner diameter of the hole 242. Here, by applying an external force to the operating portions 243a and 243b, the cover member 240 can be deformed so that the width W of the slit communicating with the hole 242 becomes larger than the diameter of the cap 8.

[0036] The engaging portion 244 is a portion that engages with the engaged portion 226 of the second support member 220. The engaging portion 244 has a pair of generally groove-shaped inserted portions 245a, 245b that are positioned apart in the left-right direction with a slit that communicates with the hole 242 therebetween.

[0037] The locking portion 246 locks the engaging portion 244 of the cover member 240 in an engaged state with the engaged portion 226 of the second support member 220. The locking portion 246 of this embodiment is a separate member from the cover member 240 and is a shaft-shaped member having a head. The locking portion 246 of this embodiment is composed of a member that is attracted by a magnet. The locking portion 246 is located within a hole-shaped guide portion 247 that penetrates vertically and is formed in one (left) of the two bifurcated portions extending rearward from the cover member 241, and can move vertically within the guide portion 247. A counterbore portion formed in the guide portion 247 abuts against the head of the locking portion 246, thereby preventing the locking portion 246 from falling off the guide portion 247. At this time, the lower end of the locking portion 246 protrudes downward from the guide portion 247.

[0038] To support the dispenser container 1 in the support device 200 configured in this manner, an external force is applied to the operating parts 243a, 243b so that they move apart, thereby widening the width W of the slit communicating with the hole 242, and then the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 is inserted into the slit. The dispenser container 1 is inserted until the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 reaches the hole 242 of the cover part 241, and then the application of the external force to the operating parts 243a, 243b is released, thereby deforming the hole 242 of the cover part 241 to its original state. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 can be positioned in the hole 242 of the cover part 241 of the cover member 240.

[0039] Next, by bringing covering member 240 closer to second support member 220, engaging portion 244 of covering member 240 is engaged with engaged portion 226 of second support member 220. Therefore, insertion portions 227a, 227b of engaged portion 226 are inserted into inserted portions 245a, 245b of engaging portion 244. At this time, a portion of the rear end of covering member 240 between inserted portion 245a and inserted portion 245b is guided by guide portion 229 of engaged portion 226 and positioned on holding portion 228, whereby covering member 240 is held by holding portion 228. Furthermore, when the cover member 240 and the second support member 220 are gradually brought closer together, the lower end of the locking portion 246 is guided by the guide portion 229 to move upward, and then reaches the position of the locked portion 230 of the engaged portion 226, causing the locking portion 246 to protrude toward the locked portion 230 under its own weight, thereby locking the engaged state between the engaging portion 244 and the engaged portion 226.

[0040] By attaching the cover member 240 to the second support member 220, the support device 200 supports the dispenser container 1 in an upright position. At this time, the cover portion 241 of the cover member 240 is positioned below and adjacent to the hole 225 of the support portion 224. In addition, the cover portion 241 of the cover member 240 is positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1. Therefore, even if a user tries to grip the cap 8 to remove the dispenser 6 from the container body 2, the cover portion 241 gets in the way and prevents the user from gripping the cap 8, making it difficult to remove the dispenser 6.

[0041] On the other hand, a case where an operator detaches the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 in order to fill the content through the opening 4 of the container body 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II passing through the lock portion 246 in the front view of Fig. 4. Fig. 5(a) is a cross-sectional view showing the locked engagement state. As shown in Fig. 5(a), the lower end of the locking portion 246 protrudes downward, and the locking portion 246 is inserted into the locked portion 230 of the engaged portion 226, so that the covering member 240 cannot be detached from the second supporting member 220.

[0042] FIG. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the locked state of the engaged state has been released. As shown in FIG. 5(b), an operator brings a release tool 250 equipped with a magnet close to the upper side of the locking portion 246, and the magnetic force causes the locking portion 246 to move against its own weight in a direction to release the locked state of the engaged state. Specifically, the locking portion 246 can be moved upward within the guide portion 247 to a state in which the locking portion 246 is not inserted into the locked portion 230. With the lock by the locking portion 246 released, the operator can remove the covering member 240 from the second support member 220 by pulling out the covering member 240, which covers the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 with the covering portion 241. The worker applies an external force to the operating parts 243a and 243b to move them apart, widening the slit communicating with the hole 225, and removing the dispenser container 1 from the cover member 240, thereby exposing the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 and allowing the dispenser 6 to be detached from the container body 2.

[0043] Although the case where the locking portion 246 protrudes toward the locked portion 230 by its own weight has been described, it may be configured so that it protrudes toward the locked portion 230 by a biasing means such as a spring. In this case, the operator brings the release tool 250 close to the upper side of the locking portion 246, and the magnetic force causes the locking portion 246 to move in a direction to release the lock from the engaged state against the biasing force of the biasing means. Furthermore, the operator is not limited to using the release tool 250 to release the lock, but may also use, for example, a finger or a pin to push the lower end of the locking portion 246 upward against its own weight or the force of the biasing means, in the direction of releasing the lock from the engaged state, and then pull out the covering member 240, which covers the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 with the covering portion 241, toward himself, thereby detaching the covering member 240 from the second support member 220.

[0044] Furthermore, the support device 200 of this embodiment allows the dispenser 6 to be detached from the container body 2 while the cover member 240 remains attached to the second support member 220. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 243a and 243b of the cover member 240 attached to the second support member 220 so as to move them closer to each other. Gaps are provided between the inserted portions 245a and 245b of the engaging portion 244 and the inserted portions 227a and 227b of the engaged portion 226, respectively, to allow the operating portions 243a and 243b to move closer to each other. By applying an external force to the operating portions 243a and 243b, the inner diameter of the hole 242 in the cover portion 241 becomes smaller, thereby increasing the area of ​​contact between the outer circumferential surface of the cap 8 and the hole 242. While applying an external force to the operating parts 243a and 243b, the worker can grasp and rotate the container body 2 so as to loosen the engagement between the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 and the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6, thereby detaching the dispenser 6 from the container body 2. By grasping and rotating the container body 2, the force required to rotate it can be reduced compared to when grasping the cap 8.

[0045] Third Embodiment Fig. 7(a) is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a support 300 of the third embodiment. Fig. 8 is a front view, a plan view, and a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II showing an example of the configuration of the support 300. The support 300 includes a support member 310 and a cover member 340 .

[0046] The support member 310 is a member that supports the dispenser container 1. The support member 310 is sandwiched between the container body 2 and the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 from above and below, thereby supporting the dispenser container 1 in an upright state. The support member 310 is also a member for attaching the support tool 300 to an attachment position. The support member 310 is made of, for example, a substantially plate-shaped metal, and is formed by shearing and bending using a press machine. The support member 310 is formed in a substantially L-shape in side view. The support member 310 has an attachment portion 311 that is attached to a wall surface, a support portion 314 that supports the lower end of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1, and an engaged portion 316 that engages with an engaging portion 344 of the cover member 340.

[0047] The mounting portion 311 is a portion that extends in the vertical direction substantially parallel to the wall surface, and is attached to the wall surface by magnets 312 that are provided at intervals in the left-right and up-down directions.

[0048] The support portion 314 is connected to the attachment portion 121 and is a portion that extends in the front-rear direction so as to be perpendicular to the wall surface. The support portion 314 has a hole 315 that penetrates in the up-down direction and through which a part of the container body 2 is inserted. The hole 315 of the support portion 314 is located in front of the engaged portion 316. The hole 315 has a circular shape that is smaller than the diameter of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 and larger than the diameter of the male screw 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2.

[0049] The engaged portion 316 is a portion that engages with the engaging portion 344 of the cover member 340. The engaged portion 316 is located on the rear side of the hole 315. Specifically, the engaged portion 316 is formed by the opening edge of a through-hole that penetrates vertically and communicates with the hole 315 on the rear side of the hole 315.

[0050] The covering member 340 is a member that can be attached to and detached from the support member 310. The covering member 340 is elastically deformable and is made of synthetic resin, for example, formed as a single unit by injection molding. In a plan view, the covering member 340 is formed in the same shape as the support portion 314 of the support member 310. The covering member 340 has a covering portion 341 and an engaging portion 344 that engages with the engaged portion 316. Note that FIG. 7(a) also shows the covering member 340 upside down.

[0051] The covering portion 341 covers from the outside the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 supported by the support 300. The covering portion 341 has a hole 342 that penetrates in the vertical direction. The hole 342 of the covering portion 341 is large enough to allow the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 to be inserted therethrough. By positioning the cap 8 in the hole 342 so that the inner peripheral surface of the hole 342 of the covering portion 341 faces the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8, the covering portion 341 covers the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 from the outside. Therefore, when viewed from the side, the covering portion 341 is located outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 and is positioned so as to overlap the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8. The engaging portion 344 is a portion that engages with the engaged portion 316 of the support member 310. The engaging portion 344 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the cover member 340 and is positioned apart in the left-right direction. The engaging portion 344 is elastically deformable and has a hook shape that engages with the engaged portion 316 in a snap-fit ​​manner.

[0052] To support the dispenser container 1 in the support device 300 configured as above, as shown in FIG. 7( a), the opening 4 of the container body 2 is inserted from below into the hole 315 of the support part 314 so that it protrudes, and the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 is screwed into the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 from above the support part 314, whereby the opening edge of the hole 315 is sandwiched between the cap 8 and the container body 2 from above. Therefore, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 8, the lower end of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 is supported by the opening edge of the hole 315, allowing the support part 314 to support the dispenser container 1. Finally, the nozzle 9 and head part 10 of the dispenser container 1 are inserted into the hole 342 of the cover part 341 from above, in that order, to position the cover member 340 on the cap 8, and the engaging part 344 of the cover member 340 is engaged with the engaged part 316 of the support member 310, thereby attaching the cover member 340 to the support member 310. At this time, the covering portion 341 of the covering member 340 is positioned adjacent to the hole 315 above the hole 315 of the support portion 314 .

[0053] By attaching the covering member 340 to the support member 310, the covering portion 341 of the covering member 340 is positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1. Therefore, even if a user tries to grip the cap 8 to remove the dispenser 6 from the container body 2, the covering portion 341 gets in the way and prevents the user from gripping the cap 8, making it possible to prevent the dispenser 6 from being easily removed. On the other hand, when an operator wants to detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 so as to fill the filling material through the opening 4 of the container body 2, the operator can detach the dispenser 6 by performing the reverse operation to that performed when supporting the dispenser container 1 with the support device 300.

[0054] In addition, by using a cover member 350 instead of the cover member 340 in the support device 300 of this embodiment, the dispenser 6 can be detached from the container body 2 while the cover member 350 remains attached to the support member 310. Figure 7(b) is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the cover member 350. Figure 7(b) also shows the cover member 350 turned upside down. The covering member 350 is elastically deformable and is made of synthetic resin, for example, formed as a single unit by injection molding. The covering member 350 has a covering portion 351 and an engaging portion 354 that engages with the engaged portion 316.

[0055] Covering portion 351 has hole 352 penetrating in the vertical direction. An expandable portion 353 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of hole 352 of covering portion 351. When an operator applies an external force that presses the front surface of covering portion 351 rearward, expanding portion 353 contracts, and covering portion 351 is deformed so that the inner diameter of hole 352 becomes smaller. On the other hand, when the operator releases the application of the external force, expanding portion 353 expands to return to its original state, and covering portion 351 is deformed so that the inner diameter of hole 352 becomes larger. The engaging portion 354 is a portion that engages with the engaged portion 316 of the support member 310. The engaging portion 354 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the cover member 350. The engaging portion 354 is elastically deformable and has a hook shape that engages with the engaged portion 316 in a snap-fit ​​manner.

[0056] 9, an operator applies an external force to press the covering portion 351 of the covering member 350 attached to the support member 310, thereby reducing the inner diameter of the hole 352 in the covering portion 351 and increasing the area of ​​contact between the outer circumferential surface of the cap 8 and the hole 352. While applying the external force to the covering portion 351, the operator grips and rotates the container body 2 so as to loosen the engagement between the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 and the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6, thereby removing the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 while keeping the covering member 350 attached to the support member 310. By gripping and rotating the container body 2, the force required for rotation can be reduced compared to when gripping the cap 8.

[0057] <Fourth embodiment> Fig. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a support 400 of the fourth embodiment. Fig. 11 is a front view, a plan view, and a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III showing an example of the configuration of the support 400. Note that the same components as those of the support 300 of the third embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate. The support 400 includes a support member 410 , a cover member 440 , and a jig 460 .

[0058] The support member 410 is a member that supports the dispenser container 1. The support member 410 holds the container body 2 and the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 from above and below, thereby supporting the dispenser container 1 in an upright state. The support member 410 is also a member for attaching the support tool 400 to an attachment position. The support member 410 has an attachment portion 411 that is attached to a wall surface, a support portion 414 that supports the lower end of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1, and an engaged portion 416 that engages with an engaging portion 444 of the cover member 440. The attachment portion 411 has a configuration similar to that of the attachment portion 311 of the third embodiment.

[0059] The support portion 414 is connected to the mounting portion 411 and extends in the front-rear direction perpendicular to the wall surface. The support portion 414 has a hole 415 that penetrates in the up-down direction and through which a part of the container body 2 is inserted. The hole 415 of the support portion 414 is configured by cutting out a part of a circle. Specifically, the front and rear sides of the hole 415 are configured as circles, and the right and left sides are each cut out so as to expand in the left-right direction. The inner diameter D of the hole 415 of the support portion 414 is smaller than the diameter of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 and larger than the diameter of the male screw 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2.

[0060] The engaged portions 416 are portions that engage with the engaging portions 444 of the cover member 440. The engaged portions 416 are located on both the left and right sides of the hole 415. Specifically, the engaged portions 416 are formed by cutouts formed by cutting out the hole 415 on the right and left sides.

[0061] The covering member 440 is a member that can be attached to and detached from the support member 410. The covering member 440 is elastically deformable and is made of synthetic resin, for example, formed as a single unit by injection molding. The covering member 440 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. The covering member 440 has a covering portion 441 and an engaging portion 444 that engages with the engaged portion 416.

[0062] The covering portion 441 covers from the outside the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 supported by the support 400. The covering portion 441 has a hole 442 that penetrates in the vertical direction. The hole 442 of the covering portion 441 is large enough to allow the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 to be inserted therethrough. By positioning the cap 8 in the hole 442 so that the inner peripheral surface of the hole 442 of the covering portion 441 faces the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8, the covering portion 441 covers the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 from the outside. Therefore, when viewed from the side, the covering portion 441 is located outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 and is positioned so as to overlap the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8. Meanwhile, the outer diameter of the covering portion 441 is larger than the inner diameter D of the hole 415 of the support portion 414.

[0063] The engaging portion 444 is a portion that engages with the engaged portion 416 of the support member 410. The engaging portion 444 protrudes downward from the lower end of the cover member 440 and is positioned apart in the left-right direction. The engaging portion 444 is elastically deformable and has a hook shape that engages with the engaged portion 416 in a snap-fit ​​manner.

[0064] To support the dispenser container 1 in the support tool 400 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 10 , the opening 4 of the container body 2 is inserted from below into the hole 415 of the support portion 414. Next, with the opening 4 of the container body 2 protruding from the hole 415 of the support portion 414, the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 is screwed into the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 from above the support portion 414, whereby the opening edge of the hole 415 is sandwiched between the cap 8 and the container body 2 from above and below. Therefore, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 11 , the lower end of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 is supported by the opening edge of the hole 415, allowing the support portion 414 to support the dispenser container 1. Note that the cover member 440 is inserted in advance into the hole 442 of the dispenser 6 in the state shown in FIG. 10 , with the suction tube 7 and cap 8 of the dispenser 6 inserted in that order, and is then placed on standby at a position between the cap 8 and the head portion 10. Finally, the waiting covering member 440 is positioned on the cap 8 from above, and the engaging portion 444 of the covering member 440 is engaged with the engaged portion 416 of the support member 410, thereby attaching the covering member 440 to the support member 410. At this time, the covering portion 441 of the covering member 440 is positioned above and adjacent to the hole 415 of the support portion 414.

[0065] By attaching the covering member 440 to the support member 410, the covering portion 441 of the covering member 440 is positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1. Therefore, even if a user tries to grip the cap 8 to remove the dispenser 6 from the container body 2, the covering portion 441 gets in the way and prevents the user from gripping the cap 8, making it possible to prevent the dispenser 6 from being easily removed.

[0066] On the other hand, a worker uses a jig 460 to detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 so as to fill the filler through the opening 4 of the container body 2. The jig 460 has a cylindrical wedge portion 461 that tapers downward, and an opening portion 462 that connects the internal space of the wedge portion 461 to the outside. As shown in FIG. 12 , the worker inserts the jig 460 between the cap 8 and the head portion 10 via the opening portion 462, and then presses the wedge portion 461 into the gap formed between the inner circumferential surface of the hole 442 in the covering member 440 and the outer circumferential surface of the cap 8. Therefore, the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 is restricted from rotating relative to the covering member 440 via the wedge portion 461 of the jig 460. With jig 460 still press-fitted into the gap between hole 442 of cover member 440 and cap 8, the worker can grasp and rotate container body 2 so that the male thread 5 of opening 4 of container body 2 and the female thread of cap 8 of dispenser 6 are disengaged, thereby detaching dispenser 6 from container body 2. By grasping and rotating container body 2, the force required for rotation can be reduced compared to when gripping cap 8.

[0067] Fifth Embodiment Fig. 13 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a support 500 of the fifth embodiment. Fig. 14 is a front view, a plan view, and a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV showing an example of the configuration of the support 500. The support 500 includes a support member 560 and a reinforcing member 570 .

[0068] The support member 560 is a member that supports the dispenser container 1. The support member 510 is a member for attaching the support tool 500 to an attachment position. The support member 510 is elastically deformable and is made of synthetic resin, for example, that is integrally formed by injection molding. The support member 510 is formed in a substantially U-shape in a plan view and in a substantially L-shape in a side view. The support member 560 has a cover portion 561, operating portions 563a and 563b that are operated by an operator, mounting portions 564a and 564b, and a support portion 567.

[0069] The covering portion 561 covers the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 supported by the support 500 from the outside. The covering portion 561 has a hole 562 that penetrates in the vertical direction. The hole 562 of the covering portion 561 is large enough to allow the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 to be inserted therethrough. The hole 562 has an open slit at the rear side so that the rear side is in communication with the outside. By positioning the cap 8 in the hole 562 so that the inner peripheral surface of the hole 562 of the covering portion 561 faces the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8, the covering portion 561 covers the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 from the outside, excluding the rear side. Therefore, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 14 , the covering portion 561 is positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 so as to overlap with the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8.

[0070] The operating portions 563a and 563b are bifurcated portions extending rearward from the cover portion 561, and are configured as a pair on the left and right sides with a slit communicating with the hole 562 in between. When an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b to move them closer to each other, the support member 560 is deformed so that the inner diameter of the hole 562 becomes smaller. On the other hand, when the operator releases the application of the external force, the cover portion 561 is deformed so that the reduced inner diameter of the hole 562 returns to its original state. Conversely, when an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b to move them away from each other, the support member 560 is deformed so that the inner diameter of the hole 562 becomes larger. Here, applying an external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b can deform the support member 560 so that the width W of the slit communicating with the hole 562 becomes larger than the outer diameter of the cap 8.

[0071] Mounting portions 564a, 564b are connected to the rear ends of operation portions 563a, 563b and extend in the vertical direction substantially parallel to the wall surface. Magnets 565 are provided on mounting portions 564a, 564b at positions spaced apart in the vertical direction. Mounting portions 564a, 564b are attached to the wall surface by magnets 565.

[0072] The support portion 567 is located at the lower end of the hole 562 in the cover portion 561 and extends from the opening edge of the hole 562 toward the center of the hole 562. The support portion 567 has a hole 568 that penetrates in the vertical direction and through which a portion of the container body 2 is inserted. The hole 568 in the support portion 567 is configured by cutting out a portion of a circle. Specifically, the front, right, and left sides of the hole 568 are configured as a continuous circle, and the rear side of the hole 568 is cut out. The support portion 567 has the hole 568 with the rear side cut out, so that it is formed into a roughly C-shape in a plan view. Furthermore, the inner diameter D of the hole 568 in the support portion 567 is smaller than the diameter of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 and larger than the diameter of the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2. When an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b so as to move them apart, the inner diameter D of the hole 568 of the support portion 567 as well as the hole 562 of the cover portion 561 is deformed to increase.

[0073] To support the dispenser container 1 in the support device 500 configured in this manner, an external force is applied to the operating portions 563a and 563b so that they move apart, widening the width W of the slit communicating with the hole 562, and then the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 is inserted into the slit. The dispenser container 1 is inserted until the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1 reaches the hole 562 of the cover portion 561, and then the application of the external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b is released, thereby deforming the hole 562 of the cover portion 561 and the hole 568 of the support portion 567 to return to their original state. At this time, the lower end of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 is supported by the support portion 567, so that the support portion 567 can support the dispenser container 1. In a state in which the support portion 567 supports the dispenser container 1, the cover portion 561 is positioned outside the outer peripheral surface of the cap 8 of the dispenser container 1, and therefore even if a user tries to grasp the cap 8 to detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2, the cover portion 561 gets in the way and prevents the user from grasping the cap 8, making it difficult to detach the dispenser 6. As in the fourth embodiment, the opening 4 of the container body 2 may be inserted from below into the hole 568 of the support portion 567 to make it protrude, and the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 may be screwed into the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 from above the support portion 567, so that the support portion 567 is sandwiched between the cap 8 and the container body 2 from above and below to support the dispenser container 1. On the other hand, when an operator wants to detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 so as to fill the filling material through the opening 4 of the container body 2, the dispenser 6 can be detached by performing the reverse operation to that performed when supporting the dispenser container 1 with the support device 500.

[0074] The support tool 500 of this embodiment can detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 while the dispenser container 1 is supported by the support member 560. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 , an operator applies an external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b of the support member 560 while supporting the dispenser container 1, so as to move them closer to each other. By applying an external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b, the inner diameter of the hole 562 in the cover portion 561 becomes smaller, thereby increasing the area of ​​contact between the outer circumferential surface of the cap 8 and the hole 562. While applying the external force to the operating portions 563a and 563b, the operator can detach the dispenser 6 from the container body 2 by gripping and rotating the container body 2 so as to loosen the engagement between the male thread 5 of the opening 4 of the container body 2 and the female thread of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6. By gripping and rotating the container body 2, the force required for rotation can be reduced compared to when gripping the cap 8.

[0075] Furthermore, the support device 500 of this embodiment may use a reinforcing member 570 to reinforce the strength of the support portion 567. The reinforcing member 570 is, for example, made of a metal and has a substantially plate shape. The reinforcing member 570 has the same shape as the support portion 567 in a plan view, and is formed in a substantially C-shape. The reinforcing member 570 is disposed above the support portion 567 so as to overlap with the support portion 567. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 14, the lower end of the cap 8 of the dispenser 6 is supported by a reinforcing member 570 arranged above the support part 567, thereby making it possible to reinforce the strength of the support part 567.

[0076] In the above, the supports 100 to 500 of the respective embodiments have been described as being attached to a wall surface using magnets provided on each mounting portion, etc., but this is not limited to this. The structure for attaching the support to a wall surface can be modified as appropriate, as in Modifications 1 and 2. Here, a case where the configuration of the support member 310 of the support 300 of the third embodiment is modified will be described, but similar modifications can be made to the other embodiments. (Variation 1) FIG. 16(a) is a perspective view showing the configuration of a support member 310 of the first modified example. The mounting portion 361 of the support member 310 is formed with a plurality of mounting holes 371. The mounting hole 371 is composed of a hole-shaped inserted portion 372 and a groove-shaped support hole portion 373 that is continuous with the inserted portion 372. The mounting portion 361 is attached to a wall surface via a plurality of mounting members 20 that are inserted into the mounting holes 371.

[0077] Mounting member 20 has an insertion portion 21 that is inserted into mounting hole 371 and an adhesive portion 22 that is attached to the wall surface. At least adhesive portion 22 of mounting member 20 is configured with a magnet that is attached to the wall surface. Support member 310 can be attached to the wall surface by first adhering mounting member 20 to the wall surface, inserting insertion portion 21 into insertion receiving portion 372 of mounting hole 371 of support member 310, and supporting it at support hole portion 373.

[0078] (Variation 2) FIG. 16(b) is a perspective view showing the configuration of a support member 310 of the second modified example. The mounting portion 381 of the support member 310 is formed with a plurality of mounting holes 382.

[0102] Seventeenth Embodiment Fig. 28 is a perspective view of an example of the configuration of a support 1700 of the seventeenth embodiment. Fig. 29(a) is an exploded perspective view of the support 1700 seen from the rear, Fig. 29(b) is an exploded perspective view of a mounting member 1720 of the support 1700, and Fig. 29(c) is a perspective view of the support 1700 seen from the rear. The support 1700 includes a base member 1710 , a mounting member 1720 , a cover member 1730 , and a support member 1740 .

[0103] Base member 1710 is a member that serves as the base of support 1700, and is made of synthetic resin, for example, formed as a single unit by injection molding. Base member 1710 has base portion 1711, which is the main portion of base member 1710, and detachable portion 1713 to which support member 1740 is attached and detached.

[0104] The base portion 1711 is generally plate-shaped and long in the left-right direction. A plurality of holes 1712 are formed in the base portion 1711, which penetrate in the front-rear direction and are spaced apart in the left-right direction to hold the mounting member 1720. The detachable portion 1713 is located below the base portion 1711 and is formed continuously in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 30 , the detachable portion 1713 is composed of a front plate portion 1714 located at the front side and a rear plate portion 1716 located at the rear side, with a recessed portion 1718 that opens downwards sandwiched between them. A detachable portion 1741 of a support member 1740 is inserted into the recessed portion 1718. A retaining portion 1715 that protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the front plate portion 1714 is formed at the lower end of the front plate portion 1714 of the detachable portion 1713. A contact portion 1717 that protrudes frontward from the front surface of the rear plate portion 1716 is formed at the lower end of the rear plate portion 1716. The contact portion 1717 is located below the retaining portion 1715.

[0105] Mounting member 1720 is a member for mounting support 1700 to a wall surface. Mounting member 1720 has at least magnet 1721, and can mount support 1700 to a wall surface by the magnetic force of magnet 1721. Mounting member 1720 is held to base member 1710 by being inserted into hole 1712 of base member 1710 from the front side.

[0106] FIG. 9(b) is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the mounting member 1720. As shown in FIG. The mounting member 1720 of this embodiment is attached to the wall surface via a first case 1722 that stores a magnet 1721 and a second case 1724 that holds the first case 1722.

[0107] First case 1722 has the function of protecting magnet 1721 by storing magnet 1721. First case 1722 has an open top so that magnet 1721 can be inserted and stored. A flange 1723 is integrally formed on the front side of first case 1722. First case 1722 is made of synthetic resin, for example, and is integrally formed by injection molding. As shown in FIG. 29(b), rust prevention can be achieved by filling first case 1722 with waterproof grease after magnet 1721 has been inserted.

[0108] Second case 1724 has a waterproof function to protect magnet 1721 from water and an anti-slip function to prevent support 1700 from sliding off the mounting position when mounted on a wall. Second case 1724 has an opening at the front so that first case 1722 containing magnet 1721 can be inserted from the front and held. A flange 1725 is integrally formed on the edge of the opening of second case 1724. Second case 1724 also has a lid 1726 integrally formed therewith. This lid closes the upper opening of first case 1722 and fixes magnet 1721 in place when first case 1722 is fitted inside. Second case 1724 is made of a material with a high coefficient of friction to increase the friction generated between second case 1724 and the wall surface when it comes into contact with the wall, preventing it from sliding off. Specifically, second case 1724 is made of silicone rubber integrally formed by injection molding, for example.

[0109] Here, mounting member 1720 can be assembled by inserting first case 1722, which stores magnet 1721, into second case 1724 from the front and holding it in second case 1724. Furthermore, mounting member 1720 is held in base member 1710 by inserting mounting member 1720 from the front into holes 1712 in base member 1710 until flange portions 1725 of second case 1724 contact the front surface of base portion 1711. At this time, as shown in FIG. 29(c), second case 1724 is set to protrude a certain length rearward from holes 1712 in base portion 1711.

[0110] Cover member 1730 can be attached to and detached from base member 1710, and when attached to base member 1710, covers a portion of base member 1710. Specifically, cover member 1730 covers the front, top, right, and left sides of base member 1710. Therefore, cover member 1730 is formed so that at least the bottom side is open. Since cover member 1730 is a component that determines the appearance of support 1700, it is possible to use a material that takes design into consideration, or to color the surface. Specifically, cover member 1730 is made of synthetic resin that is integrally formed by injection molding, for example, and its design can be improved by forming it from a resin material to which a lustrous material such as aluminum powder or mica powder has been added, or by coloring the surface with a high-brightness metallic paint.

[0111] The support member 1740 is a member that supports an article in the support device 1700. The support member 1740 is detachable from the base member 1710. The support member 1740 has a detachable portion 1741, a support portion 1743, and a connecting portion 1745.

[0112] The detachable portion 1741 is a portion that is attached to and detached from the detachable portion 1713 of the base member 1710. The detachable portion 1741 is located above the support portion 1743 and is formed continuously in the left-right direction. The left-right length of the detachable portion 1741 is approximately the same as the left-right length of the detachable portion 1713. In addition, a hook portion 1742 that protrudes forward from the front surface of the detachable portion 1741 is formed at the upper end of the detachable portion 1741. Here, the front-rear width W of the detachable portion 1741 including the hook portion 1742 is set to be larger than the front-rear opening width Wo of the recess 1718 of the detachable portion 1713 (see FIG. 30(a)).

[0113] The support portion 1743 is a portion that supports an article. The support portion 1743 is located below the detachable portion 1741 and is formed continuously in the left-right direction. The support portion 1743 is formed in a generally plate-like shape that extends in the front-rear direction so as to be perpendicular to the wall surface. An abutment portion 1744 is formed at the rear end of the support portion 1743. The abutment portion 1744 abuts against the wall surface when the support member 1740 is attached to the base member 1710, thereby preventing the support member 1740 from swinging back and forth.

[0114] The connecting portion 1745 is a portion that connects the detachable portion 1741 and the support portion 1743. Specifically, the connecting portion 1745 is formed to extend upward from the upper rear surface of the support portion 1743 toward the detachable portion 1741. Note that the connecting portion 1745 is formed so that its width in the front-to-rear direction is small at a position close to the detachable portion 1741, and therefore, when the support member 1740 is attached to the base member 1710, the retaining portion 1715 of the detachable portion 1713 can be engaged with the hook portion 1742 of the detachable portion 1741.

[0115] In the support tool 1700 configured in this manner, to attach the support member 1740 to the base member 1710 , the user first holds the multiple attachment members 1720 to the base member 1710 and then attaches the cover member 1730 to the base member 1710 .

[0116] 30(a), the user approaches support member 1740 while tilting it so that the front end of support portion 1743 faces upward toward base member 1710, which has been attached to the wall surface by adsorbing mounting member 1720 to the wall surface. By tilting support member 1740 in this way, detachable portion 1741 can be inserted into recess 1718 between retaining portion 1715 and abutment portion 1717.

[0117] As shown in FIG. 30(b), after inserting detachable portion 1741 into recess 1718, the user returns the inclination of support member 1740 to its original position and rotates it so that support portion 1743 is horizontal, whereby hook portion 1742 of detachable portion 1741 is positioned on retaining portion 1715 of detachable portion 1713, and hook portion 1742 engages with retaining portion 1715. Engagement of hook portion 1742 with retaining portion 1715 allows support member 1740 to be attached to base member 1710. On the other hand, to detach support member 1740 from base member 1710, the user performs the reverse operation of that used to attach support member 1740 to base member 1710, thereby detaching support member 1740.

[0118] In support device 1700 in which support member 1740 is attached to base member 1710, a user can support an item by placing the item on support portion 1743 of support member 1740. Note that connecting portion 1745 of support member 1740 abuts against abutted portion 1717, and abutting portion 1744 of support portion 1743 abuts against a wall surface, thereby preventing support member 1740 from swinging back and forth.
