Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described. The same reference numerals are given to the same components, and redundant descriptions are omitted. In each drawing, for convenience of explanation, components are appropriately omitted, enlarged, or reduced. The drawings are to be viewed in accordance with the direction of the reference numerals.

[0009] Refer to FIG. 1. The bathroom shelf 10 is used in the bathroom unit 12. The bathroom unit 12 includes a plurality of bathroom walls 14 that form a bathroom space inside, a bathtub 16 installed in the bathroom space, and a washbasin floor 18 provided on the side of the bathtub 16. The bathtub 16 has an elongated shape that is long in one direction in plan view. The bathroom shelf 10 of the present embodiment is attached to a bathroom wall 14 disposed on one side in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 16.

[0010] Refer to FIGS. 2 to 5. The bathroom shelf 10 includes a shelf frame 20 attached to the bathroom wall 14 and a shelf member 22 attached to the shelf frame 20. In this specification, the horizontal depth direction when the bathroom wall 14 to which the shelf frame 20 is attached is viewed from the front is referred to as the front-rear direction X, the horizontal direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction X is referred to as the left-right direction Y, and the vertical direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction X is referred to as the up-down direction Z. The front side seen from the same viewpoint is the front side in the front-rear direction X, and the back side is the rear side in the front-rear direction X.

[0011] The shelf frame 20 and the shelf members 22 are made of, for example, a metal such as stainless steel. These materials are not particularly limited. They may be made of, for example, resin or the like.

[0012] The shelf frame 20 is provided so as to protrude forward from the bathroom wall 14. The shelf frame 20 is attached to the bathroom wall 14 by being directly fixed to the bathroom wall 14 by a fixture 24 described later. Alternatively, the shelf frame 20 may be attached to the bathroom wall 14 by being fixed to a frame receiver attached to the bathroom wall 14.

[0013] The shelf frame 20 includes a front frame portion 26 that forms the front surface portion of the shelf frame 20, a rear frame portion 28 that forms the rear surface portion of the shelf frame 20, and a pair of lateral frame portions 30 that form the lateral surface portions on both the left and right outer sides of the shelf frame 20. The shelf frame 20 has a rectangular frame formed by the four peripheral frame portions 26, 28, and 30. In the present embodiment, each of the front frame portion 26, the rear frame portion 28, and the lateral frame portions 30 is plate-shaped as a whole. The shelf frame 20 has an upper opening 32 provided on the upper surface portion of the shelf frame 20 and a lower opening 34 provided on the lower surface portion of the shelf frame 20. Each of the openings 32 and 34 is a part of a through-hole that penetrates the shelf frame 20 in the vertical direction Z and is formed by the front frame portion 26, the pair of lateral frame portions 30, and the rear frame portion 28 of the shelf frame 20.

[0014] In plan view, the front frame portion 26 has a shape in which there is no portion protruding outward in the left-right direction Y with respect to the lateral frame portions 30. To achieve this, the side end portion 26a of the front frame portion 26 and the front end portion 30a of the lateral frame portion 30 are connected to form a corner portion of the shelf frame 20. As a result, the appearance of the shelf frame 20 becomes neater. In addition, the rear end portion 30b of the lateral frame portion 30 has a shape in which there is no portion protruding outward in the left-right direction Y and on both sides in the vertical direction Z. This makes the appearance of the shelf frame 20 neater.

[0015] In this embodiment, the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 and the height Hb of the horizontal frame portion 30 are equal to or greater than the height Hc of the rear frame portion 28. The height here refers to the dimension in the vertical direction Z. Thereby, the front frame portion 26 and the horizontal frame portion 30 make it easier to hide the fixing position of the rear frame portion 28 by the fixture 24, and good design can be obtained. In this embodiment, these have the same size. In this embodiment, the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 is sized such that the rear frame portion 28 can be hidden when viewed from the front. It can also be said that the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 is sized such that the rear frame portion 28 does not protrude in the vertical direction Z when viewed from the front. Thereby, when viewed from the front, the front frame portion 26 becomes difficult to see, and the appearance of the shelf frame 20 becomes neat.

[0016] The shelf member 22 is configured by using a plurality of wire members 36, 38, 40. The shelf member 22 of this embodiment includes a plurality of horizontal wire members 36 extending in the left-right direction Y and a plurality of vertical wire members 38, 40. The plurality of horizontal wire members 36 are arranged in the front-rear direction X. The plurality of horizontal wire members 36 include a main body portion 36a that forms an article placement location 42 and a leg portion 36b that is bent downward with respect to the main body portion 36a.

[0017] The vertical wire members 38, 40 include a first vertical wire member 38 provided at the end of the shelf member 22 in the left-right direction Y and a second vertical wire member 40 provided at the middle portion of the shelf member 22 in the left-right direction Y. The first vertical wire member 38 is fixed to the leg portion 36b of each of the plurality of horizontal wire members 36 by welding or the like. The second vertical wire member 40 includes a main body portion 40a extending in the front-rear direction X and a leg portion 40b that is bent downward with respect to the main body portion 40a. The main body portion 40a of the second vertical wire member 40 is disposed below the main body portion 36a of the plurality of horizontal wire members 36 and is fixed to the horizontal wire members 36 by welding or the like. The leg portion 40b of the second vertical wire member 40 is fixed to the inner surface of the shelf frame 20 by welding or the like. In this way, the vertical wire members 38, 40 are fixed to the plurality of horizontal wire members 36 and thus serve to connect the plurality of horizontal wire members 36.

[0018] As described above, the shelf member 22 of the present embodiment is detachably attached to the shelf frame 20 by being fixed by welding. The fixing mode of the shelf member 22 to the shelf frame 20 is not limited to the content listed here, and adhesion, fitting, etc. may be used. In addition to this, the shelf member 22 may be detachably attached to the shelf frame 20. This may be realized, for example, by detachably placing the shelf member 22 on a receiving portion provided on the shelf frame 20. In addition to this, it may also be realized by fastening the shelf member 22 to the shelf frame 20 with a fastener such as a screw.

[0019] Refer to FIG. 4. The shelf member 22 forms an article placement location 42 on which an article 44 can be placed. The article placement location 42 is formed on the upper surface portion of the shelf member 22. Specifically, the article placement location 42 of the present embodiment is formed by the upper surface portions of the individual wire rods 36 that make up the shelf member 22. The article 44 is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a push bottle, a bar of soap, a soap dish, etc.

[0020] When placing an article 44 having a flat bottom surface 44a on the article placement location 42 of the shelf member 22, assume a cross-section passing through the shelf member 22 as viewed from the left-right direction Y. In this case, a line passing through the portion 42a where the bottom surface 44a of the article 44 hits at the article placement location 42 is defined as the placement line La. When the article placement location 42 of the shelf member 22 is constituted by a plurality of wire rods 36, when the bottom surface 44a of the article 44 is placed so as to hit the individual wire rods 36, the line passing through the portion 42a where the bottom surface 44a hits is defined as the placement line La. When the article placement location 42 of the shelf member 22 is constituted by a face material, the line passing through the portion where the bottom surface 44a of the article 44 hits is defined as the placement line La. Here, an example is shown in which the placement line La is provided parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0021] The article placement location 42 is formed above the central position Pa in the vertical direction Z of the shelf frame 20 (hereinafter referred to as condition A). The central position Pa of the shelf frame 20 here refers to the central position Pa of the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20, which is the position that bisects its height Ha. This condition A only needs to be satisfied at least at the location 42a that overlaps the placement line La at the article placement location 42. Thereby, as will be described later, when placing a large-sized article 44 on the shelf member 22, the inclination of the article 44 can be suppressed.

[0022] This condition A only needs to be satisfied in a cross-section orthogonal to the left-right direction Y passing through both the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 and the article placement location 42 (hereinafter also referred to as a side cross-section). This condition A only concerns the positional relationship in the vertical direction Z between the mentioned location (here, the central position Pa) of the front frame portion 26 and the article placement location 42 on the same side cross-section. In considering this condition A, the positional relationship between the front frame portion 26 and the article placement location 42 on different side cross-sections is not questioned. Similarly, in considering this condition A, the position in the vertical direction Z of the front frame portion 26 at the location where there is no article placement location 42 (for example, the cross-section of FIG. 8 described later) that overlaps in the front-rear direction X in the front frame portion 26 is also not questioned. This condition A only needs to be satisfied in at least a partial range in the left-right direction Y within the entire range in the left-right direction Y where both the front frame portion 26 and the article placement location 42 are present in the side cross-section. This can be realized, for example, when the positions in the vertical direction Z of the front frame portion 26 and the article placement location 42 of the shelf frame 20 change in the left-right direction Y. This condition A is preferably satisfied in the entire range in the left-right direction Y where both the front frame portion 26 and the article placement location 42 are present in the side cross-section as in the present embodiment. The matters described here also apply in the same way to conditions B, C, and D described later.

[0023] The article placement location 42 is formed below the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26 (hereinafter referred to as condition B). Similar to condition A, this condition B only needs to be satisfied at least at the location 42a that overlaps with the placement line La at the article placement location 42. Thereby, the upper end portion of the front frame portion 26 constitutes a convex anti-drop portion 46 that protrudes upward with respect to the article placement location 42. The anti-drop portion 46 can prevent the article 44 placed at the article placement location 42 from dropping by hitting the article 44 from the front side.

[0024] Similar to condition A, this condition B only needs to be satisfied in the side cross-section passing through both the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 and the article placement location 42. Similar to condition A, this condition B only concerns the positional relationship in the vertical direction Z between the mentioned location of the front frame portion 26 (here, the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26) and the article placement location 42 on the same side cross-section. When the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 changes in the left-right direction Y, in the side cross-section passing through the central portion of the front frame portion 26 and the article placement location 42, only the positional relationship between the upper end 26b of the central portion and the article placement location 42 is concerned, and the position of the side end portion of the front frame portion 26 is not questioned.

[0025] Drain holes 48 for draining water on the shelf member 22 are formed in the shelf member 22. The drain holes 48 of the present embodiment are formed not only between adjacent horizontal members 36 but also between the shelf frame 20 and the horizontal member 36. The presence of the drain holes 48 makes it difficult for water to remain on the shelf member 22, and good hygiene can be obtained.

[0026] The rear frame portion 28 of the shelf frame 20 is fixed to the bathroom wall 14 by at least one fixture 24. The rear frame portion 28 of the shelf frame 20 is fixed by the fixture 24 in a state of being in contact with the bathroom wall 14. The rear frame portion 28 of the present embodiment is fixed by a plurality of fixtures 24 at positions spaced apart in the left-right direction Y.

[0027] The fixture 24 of this embodiment is a screw member 50. The screw member 50 is screwed into the bathroom wall 14 through a shaft hole 52 provided in the rear frame portion 28 of the shelf frame 20. The screw member 50 fixes the shelf frame 20 to the bathroom wall 14 by screwing it into the bathroom wall 14. A countersunk portion 52a for receiving the head of the screw member 50 is provided at the inner opening of the shaft hole 52. A specific example of the fixture 24 is not particularly limited, and in addition to this, a hook or the like fixed to the bathroom wall 14 may also be used.

[0028] The fixture 24 is provided at a position overlapping the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 in the front-rear direction X. Thereby, when the shelf frame 20 is viewed from the front, the fixture 24 is hidden by the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20, so that good design can be obtained. In addition to this, the fixture 24 is provided below the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22. Therefore, when the shelf frame 20 is viewed obliquely from above, the fixture 24 is hidden by the article 44 on the shelf member 22 or the shelf member 22, so that good design can be obtained. In the construction work of the bathroom shelf 10, the work may be performed by inserting either the operator's hand or a tool downward from the lower opening 34 of the shelf frame 20 below the shelf member 22.

[0029] The effects of the above bathroom shelf 10 will be described.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 6, consider the case where a large-sized article 44 protruding forward from the bathroom shelf 10 is placed on the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22. This article 44 has, for example, a front-rear dimension larger than the front-rear dimension L20 of the shelf frame 20 when arranged on a horizontal flat surface. Here, the front-rear dimension refers to the dimension along the front-rear direction X. In this embodiment, the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22 is below the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20. Therefore, the article 44 will be placed on the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 and the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22 is formed above the central position Pa of the shelf frame 20. Therefore, compared with the case where the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22 is near the lower opening 34 of the shelf frame 20, the inclination of the large-sized article 44 can be suppressed. The inclination of the article 44 here refers to the inclination of the bottom surface 44a of the article 44 compared with the case where the article 44 is placed on a horizontal flat surface. Thereby, when placing a large-sized article on the shelf member 22, depending on the type of the article 44, the handling of the article 44 can be facilitated.

[0032] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the article 44 is a portable terminal such as a smartphone, when placing a large-sized portable terminal on the shelf member 22, the portable terminal inclines downward toward the bathroom wall 14 side. Therefore, the smaller the inclination of the portable terminal, the easier it is to visually recognize the display portion 44b on the upper surface portion of the portable terminal, and its handling becomes easier. In addition to this, when the article 44 is a push bottle, when performing a downward pressing operation on the push portion of the push bottle, the smaller the inclination of the article, the easier it can be operated, and its handling becomes easier.

[0033] The article placement portion 42 is formed below the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26. Therefore, the front frame portion 26 can constitute the anti-drop portion 46.

[0034] The shelf frame 20 includes a rear frame portion 28 fixed to the bathroom wall 14. By bringing this rear frame portion 28 into contact with the bathroom wall 14, a contact area can be ensured in a wide range in the left-right direction Y. By fixing such a rear frame portion 28 to the bathroom wall 14, it becomes easy to ensure the fixing strength of the shelf frame 20 with respect to the bathroom wall 14.

[0035] In addition to this, it is not necessary to provide a wall contact portion fixed to the bathroom wall 14 at the rear end portion 30b of the horizontal frame portion 30 of the shelf frame 20. Therefore, the shelf frame 20 can have a neat design, and good designability can be obtained. This wall contact portion refers to a portion that protrudes at least in one of the outward direction in the left-right direction Y and the up-down direction Z from the rear end portion 30b of the horizontal frame portion 30 as described above.

[0036] Another feature of the bathroom shelf 10 of the embodiment will be described.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 4, the article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22 is preferably formed below the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26 and above the position Lb of 10 mm downward from the upper end 26b (hereinafter referred to as condition C). The article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22 is more preferably formed above the position of 5 mm downward from the upper end 26b. Similar to the aforementioned condition A, this condition C only needs to be satisfied at least at the overlapping portion 42a with the placement line La in the article placement portion 42. Similar to the aforementioned condition A, this condition C only needs to be satisfied in the side cross-section passing through both the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 and the article placement portion 42. Thereby, while the front frame portion 26 constitutes the anti-drop portion 46, the inclination of the article 44 placed on the article placement portion 42 can be made as small as possible. In order to satisfy this condition, the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 is, for example, more than 20 mm. Although the upper limit value of the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 is not particularly limited, for example, it is 30 mm or less. The height Ha of the front frame portion 26 may be a height Ha greater than this. Here, an example is shown in which the height Ha is 25 mm and the article placement portion 42 is formed at a position 2 mm from the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26.

[0038] From the same viewpoint, the article placement portion 42 is preferably formed below the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26 and may be formed above the position Lc which is 1 / 4 of the height Ha of the front frame portion 26 downward from the upper end 26b (hereinafter referred to as condition D). Similar to the aforementioned condition A, this condition D only needs to be satisfied at least at the overlapping portion 42a with the placement line La in the article placement portion 42. Similar to the aforementioned condition A, this condition D only needs to be satisfied in the side cross-section passing through both the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 and the article placement portion 42.

[0039] Refer to FIG. 7. The rear frame portion 28 of the shelf frame 20 includes a lower surface portion 54 positioned below the fixture 24 and an upper surface portion 56 positioned above the fixture 24. The height Hd of the lower surface portion 54 is greater than the height He of the upper surface portion 56. Here, the heights Hd and He refer to the height of the surface facing the bathroom wall 14 in the lateral cross-section passing through the fixture 24 in the front-rear direction X. This condition only needs to be satisfied in any of the cross-sections passing through the individual fixtures 24 as viewed from the left-right direction Y when there are a plurality of fixtures 24. In the present embodiment, it is satisfied in the cross-sections passing through each of the plurality of fixtures 24.

[0040] When a downward load is applied to the shelf frame 20, a downward moment M acts on the shelf frame 20 around the fixing portion of the rear frame portion 28 with respect to the bathroom wall 14. Due to this moment M, a reaction force F of the moment M acts on the contact portion of the lower surface portion 54 of the rear frame portion 28 with the bathroom wall 14. In the present embodiment, as described above, since the height Hd of the lower surface portion 54 of the rear frame portion 28 is greater than the height He of the upper surface portion 56, the contact area of the lower surface portion 54 with respect to the bathroom wall 14 is wider. Therefore, the reaction force F acting on the lower surface portion 54 of the shelf frame 20 is easily dispersed, and a situation where an excessive stress acts locally on the rear frame portion 28 can be avoided. As a result, the load-bearing capacity of the shelf frame 20 can be easily increased as compared with the case where the conditions of the heights Hd and He here are not satisfied.

[0041] Refer to FIGS. 3, 5, and 8. When viewed from the front, the shelf member 22 is provided at a position overlapping the upper opening 32 in the vertical direction Z, leaving a partial range Sc in the left-right direction Y of the upper opening 32. Here, "when viewed from the front" is synonymous with viewing from the perspective of FIG. 5 in the example of the embodiment. In this range Sc, the shelf member 22 is not provided at a position overlapping the upper opening 32 in the vertical direction Z when viewed from the front, and is provided only in the other range Sd at a position overlapping the upper opening 32 in the vertical direction Z. This range Sc is a range continuous from the left-right ends (horizontal frame portions 30) of the shelf frame 20. In addition to this, this range Sc may be an intermediate portion in the left-right direction of the shelf frame 20 without being continuous with the left-right ends of the shelf frame 20.

[0042] The front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 constitutes an article hanging portion 60 for hanging the article 62 in the range Sc where the above-described shelf member 22 is not provided. The article 62 is, for example, a towel or the like and has flexibility. When the article 62 is hung on the article hanging portion 60, the article 62 is arranged so as to pass through the upper opening 32 and the lower opening 34 of the shelf frame 20.

[0043] As described above, a part of the front frame portion 26 of the shelf frame 20 constitutes the article hanging portion 60. Therefore, the bathroom shelf 10 can be used both as a bathroom shelf 10 for placing the article 44 and as an article hanger for hanging the article 62. As a result, compared with the case where the bathroom shelf 10 and the article hanger are separately attached to the bathroom wall 14, the number of parts can be reduced, giving a clean and uncluttered impression in terms of space. In addition to this, there is also an advantage that adjustment of the individual attachment heights of the bathroom shelf 10 and the article hanger to the bathroom wall 14 can be made unnecessary in order to obtain good design properties.

[0044] Other deformation modes of each component will be described.

[0045] The shelf frame 20 may not include the rear frame portion 28. The rear frame portion 28 of the shelf frame 20 may be divided in the left-right direction Y at an intermediate position in the left-right direction Y.

[0046] The specific example of the shelf member 22 is not particularly limited as long as the article 44 can be placed thereon. In addition to the case where the shelf member 22 is constituted by a plurality of wire members 36, 38, 40, for example, it may be constituted by a plate material or the like. In addition to this, when the shelf member 22 is constituted by a plurality of wire members 36, 38, 40, it may be constituted by only any one of the plurality of horizontal wire members 36 and the plurality of vertical wire members 38, 40. In addition to this, the drain hole 48 may not be formed in the shelf member 22.

[0047] The article placement portion 42 of the shelf member 22 may be at the same position as the upper end 26b of the front frame portion 26, or may be above the upper end 26b. In addition to this, the article placement portion 42 may be above the central position Pa in the vertical direction Z of the shelf frame 20 below the aforementioned position Lb.

[0048] The height Hd of the lower surface portion 54 may be shorter than the height He of the upper surface portion 56.

[0049] The shelf member 22 may be provided at a position overlapping the upper opening 32 in the vertical direction Z within the entire range in the left - right direction Y of the upper opening 32 of the shelf frame 20.

[0050] The above - described embodiments and modified forms are examples. The technical ideas abstracted from these should not be construed as being limited to the content of the embodiments and modified forms. Many design changes such as changes, additions, deletions, etc. of components are possible for the content of the embodiments and modified forms.
