Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sponge holder, and more particularly to a sponge holder that allows a sponge to be easily removed from the sponge holder. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a sponge is attached to a sponge holder via a surface fastener (see patent documents). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 3-49061 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the above sponge holder, the surface fasteners are tightly engaged, so the sponge cannot be easily removed from the sponge holder, which makes it difficult to use.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a sponge holder that has been made in consideration of the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The sponge holder described in claim 1 is a sponge holder comprising a main body that is attached to an attachment surface by adhesive or a suction cup and has a plurality of engaging portions with an approximately L-shaped cross section that can be attached and detached to a sponge, wherein the engaging portions with an approximately L-shaped cross section are connected to the main body and have a first member spaced apart from the main body and a second member connected to the first member, the angle between the first member and the second member is approximately a right angle, and the length l of the second member when viewed from the front is smaller than the distance L between adjacent engaging portions among the plurality of engaging portions.

[0007] Furthermore, the sponge holder described in claim 2 is the sponge holder described in claim 1, in which, when viewed from the front, the multiple engaging portions are arranged side by side at least in the first row from the top and in the second row, the orientations of the multiple second members arranged side by side in the first row are the same direction, the orientations of the multiple second members arranged side by side in the second row are the same direction, and the orientations of the second members in the first row and the second row are different.

[0008] Furthermore, the sponge holder described in claim 3 is the sponge holder described in claim 1, wherein the second member is tapered toward the tip, and the engaging portion has flexibility that allows it to be deformed freely relative to the main body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the sponge holder described in claim 1, the tip of the second member of the engaging portion having an approximately L-shaped cross section engages with the sponge, allowing the sponge to be attached to the sponge holder, and furthermore, the length l of the second member of the engaging portion having an approximately L-shaped cross section is smaller than the distance L between adjacent engaging portions among the multiple engaging portions, so that the engagement is not as tight as with conventional surface fasteners, allowing the sponge to be easily removed from the sponge holder, improving usability.

[0010] Furthermore, according to the sponge holder described in claim 2, in addition to the effects of the invention described in claim 1 described above, when viewed from the front, the multiple engaging portions are arranged at least in a first row from the top and in a second row, the orientations of the multiple second members arranged in a first row are the same direction, the orientations of the multiple second members arranged in a second row are the same direction, and the orientations of the second members in the first row are different from the orientations of the second members in the second row, thereby improving the engagement state between the multiple second members of the sponge holder and the sponge and preventing the sponge from coming off the sponge holder in the engaged state.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the sponge holder described in claim 3, in addition to the effects of the invention described in claim 1 described above, the second member is tapered toward the tip, and the engaging portion is soft enough to be deformed freely relative to the main body, so that when the sponge is detached from the sponge holder, the engaging portion deforms, allowing the sponge to be easily removed from the sponge holder, thereby improving usability. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] Figure 2 is a 3D image of the cross section taken along line AA in Figure 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a 3D image of the cross section taken along line BB in FIG. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a 3D image of the sponge holder in Figure 1 in an exploded state. [Figure 5] Figure 5 is a photograph of the sponge holder shown in Figure 1 in use. [Figure 6] FIG. 6 is a 3D image of a cross section of a sponge holder according to another embodiment different from the sponge holder of FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] A sponge holder according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0014] Example 1 (Figs. 1 to 5) S shown in Figure 1 is a sponge holder that is attached to an attachment surface 1 by adhesive or a suction cup, and the sponge holder S has a main body 10 that has multiple locking portions 3 (see Figure 2) with an approximately L-shaped cross section that can be detachably engaged with a sponge 2.

[0015] The engaging portion 3 having an approximately L-shaped cross section has a first member 31 connected to the main body 10 and spaced apart from the main body 10, and a second member 32 connected to the first member 31, and the angle formed between the first member 31 and the second member 32 is approximately a right angle, and the length l of the second member 32 when viewed from the front is smaller than the distance L between adjacent engaging portions 3 among the multiple engaging portions 3.

[0016] Therefore, according to the above-mentioned sponge holder S, the tip of the second member 32 of the engaging portion 3 having an approximately L-shaped cross section engages with the sponge 2, allowing the sponge 2 to be attached to the sponge holder S, and furthermore, the length l of the second member 32 of the engaging portion 3 having an approximately L-shaped cross section is smaller than the distance L between adjacent engaging portions 3 among the multiple engaging portions 3, so that the engagement state is not as tight as with conventional surface fasteners, and therefore the sponge 2 can be easily removed from the sponge holder S, thereby improving usability.

[0017] In addition, in FIG. 4, 4 is an adhesive layer and 5 is a release paper.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of engaging portions are arranged side by side in the first row from the top, the second row from the top, the third row from the top, and the fourth row from the top. The orientation of the plurality of second members 32 arranged in the first stage is the same direction, The orientation of the plurality of second members 32 arranged in the second stage is the same direction, The orientations of the plurality of second members 32 arranged in the third row are the same, The orientations of the plurality of second members 32 arranged in the fourth row are the same, The orientation of the second member 32 in the first stage is different from the orientation of the second member 32 in the second stage adjacent to the first stage, The orientation of the second members 32 in the first stage is different from the orientation of the second members 32 in the second stage adjacent to the first stage, The orientation of the second members 32 in the third row is different from the orientation of the second members 32 in the fourth row adjacent to the third row. Since the orientations of adjacent second members 32 are different in this way, the engagement state between the multiple second members 32 of the sponge holder S and the sponge 2 is improved, and the sponge 2 can be prevented from coming off the sponge holder S when in the engaged state. In the present invention, when viewed from the front, the multiple engaging portions 3 are arranged side by side at least in the first row from the top and in the second row, and the orientations of the multiple second members 32 arranged side by side in the first row are the same direction, and the orientations of the multiple second members 32 arranged side by side in the second row are the same direction, and it is sufficient that the orientations of the second members 32 in the first row and the second members 32 in the second row are different.

[0019] 2, the second member 32 is tapered toward the tip, and the engaging portion 3 is flexible enough to be deformed freely relative to the main body 10. Therefore, when the sponge 2 is to be detached from the sponge holder S, the engaging portion 3 deforms, allowing the sponge 2 to be easily removed from the sponge holder S, improving usability.

[0020] Example 2 (Figure 6) Figures 1 to 5 show an example in which the sponge holder S is attached by adhesive to the mounting surface 1, but the present invention is not limited to this and can also be applied to a sponge holder S that is attached by a suction cup 6 as shown in Figure 6.
