Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an installation tool for installing an item holder capable of holding an item on an installation target surface, a mounting member provided on the installation tool, and an installation structure for installing the item holder on the installation target surface. [Background technology]

[0002] In some cases, an article holder capable of holding articles is installed on a target surface. As an example, Patent Document 1 discloses an installation structure in which both ends of a U-shaped fixing member are attached to the rear wall of a sink as the target surface to form an installation main body that protrudes from the rear wall of the sink, and the rack as the article holder is hooked onto the fixing member to install the rack on the rear wall of the sink. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-246725 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the above-described installation structure, a large load may be concentrated on one lateral end of the rack when a relatively heavy object is placed on that end or when the pump of a pump-equipped bottle placed on that end is pushed in. In such a case, the other end of the rack may rotate around that end so that it rises up, and the rack may come off the surface on which it is to be installed.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an installation tool, a mounting member, and an installation structure that can prevent the article holding portion from rotating and coming off the installation surface. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The installation tool according to the present invention comprises: An installation tool for installing an item holding unit on an installation target surface, the item holding unit being configured to be able to hold an item and having a back surface disposed opposite the installation target surface and an engagement unit provided on the back surface, an installation main body portion that is protruded from the installation target surface and is engageable with the engaging portion of the article holding portion from one side in the up-down direction; an attachment member having an attachment engaging portion engageable with the engaging portion of the article holding portion from the other side in the up-down direction and attached to the installation main body; The mounting member is configured to be movable between a restricting position in which the mounting engagement portion engages with the engagement portion of the item holding portion from the other side in the vertical direction to restrict the vertical movement of the item holding portion relative to the installation main body, and a retracted position in which the mounting member is retracted from the restricting position to allow the vertical movement of the item holding portion relative to the installation main body.

[0007] By installing the item holder in the installation tool, the item holder can be installed on the installation target surface. In the installation tool, when the installation main body engages with the engaging portion of the item holder from one side in the vertical direction and the mounting member is in the restricted position, the mounting engaging portion engages with the engaging portion of the item holder from the other side in the vertical direction, thereby restricting vertical movement of the item holder relative to the installation main body. This prevents the item holder from rotating and coming off the installation target surface. Furthermore, when the mounting member is in the retracted position, the mounting engaging portion is positioned in a position where it does not engage with the installation main body from the other side in the vertical direction, thereby allowing vertical movement of the item holder relative to the installation main body. This allows the rack to be installed or removed from the installation main body.

[0008] In the installation tool, the attachment member may be configured to be movable from a retracted position to a restricted position in conjunction with an engagement operation of the article holding portion with the installation main body.

[0009] With this configuration, when the item holder engages with the installation body, the attachment member moves from the retracted position to the restricted position in response to the engagement, making it easy to install the item holder on the installation surface.

[0010] The mounting member according to the present invention comprises: an article holding section configured to be able to hold an article and having a back surface disposed opposite to the installation target surface and an engagement section provided on the back surface, the article holding section being configured to be detachable from an installation main body section that protrudes from the installation target surface and engages with the engagement section of the article holding section from one side in the up-down direction, in order to install the article holding section on the installation target surface; a detachable portion that is detachable from the installation main body; an attachment engaging portion that engages with the engaging portion of the article holding portion from the other side in the up-down direction; Equipped with When the detachable part is attached to the installation main body part, the mounting engagement part engages with the engagement part of the item holding part from the other side in the vertical direction, and is configured to be movable between a restricting position where it engages with the engagement part of the item holding part from the other side in the vertical direction and restricts the vertical movement of the item holding part relative to the installation main body part, and a retracted position where it retracts from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the item holding part relative to the installation main body part.

[0011] The mounting member is attached to the installation main body to form an installation tool, and the item holder is installed on the installation tool, thereby installing the item holder on the installation target surface. When the item holder is installed on the installation target surface, if the installation main body is engaged with the engaging portion of the item holder from one side in the vertical direction and the mounting member is in the restricting position, the mounting engaging portion engages with the engaging portion of the item holder from the other side in the vertical direction, thereby restricting vertical movement of the item holder relative to the installation main body. This prevents the item holder from rotating and becoming detached from the installation target surface. Furthermore, when the mounting member is in the retracted position, the mounting engaging portion is positioned in a position where it does not engage with the installation main body from the other side in the vertical direction, thereby allowing vertical movement of the item holder relative to the installation main body. This allows the rack to be installed or removed from the installation main body.

[0012] The installation structure according to the present invention comprises: The above-mentioned installation tool, The item holding section is configured to be able to hold an item and has a back portion that is arranged facing the installation surface and an engagement portion provided on the back portion, and the engagement portion is configured to engage with the installation tool.

[0013] In the installation structure, the item holder is installed on the installation target surface by being installed on the installation main body. When the installation main body is engaged with the engaging portion of the item holder from one side in the vertical direction and the mounting member is in the restricted position, the mounting engaging portion engages with the engaging portion of the item holder from the other side in the vertical direction, thereby restricting vertical movement of the item holder relative to the installation main body. This prevents the item holder from rotating and coming off the installation target surface. Furthermore, when the mounting member is in the retracted position, the mounting engaging portion is positioned in a position where it does not engage with the installation main body from the other side in the vertical direction, thereby allowing vertical movement of the item holder relative to the installation main body. This allows the rack to be installed or removed from the installation main body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an installation tool, a mounting member, and an installation structure that can prevent an article holding portion from rotating and coming off the installation surface. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference characters, and description thereof will not be repeated.

[0017] First Embodiment A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0018] 1 and 2, the installation tool 10 according to this embodiment is for installing an item holder 100 configured to be able to hold an item on an installation target surface 20. The installation target surface 20 is arranged along the vertical direction.

[0019] In the following description, the terms "lateral direction," "front-rear direction," and "up-down direction" refer to the directions in which the item holder 100, the mounting member 200, and the installation main body 30 are viewed from a position facing the installation target surface 20 after the item holder 100 is installed on the installation main body 30. Furthermore, "forward" refers to the direction away from the installation target surface 20 in the front-rear direction when the item holder 100, the mounting member 200, and the installation main body 30 are viewed from a position facing the installation target surface 20 after the item holder 100 is installed on the installation main body 30. Furthermore, "rearward" refers to the direction approaching the installation target surface 20 in the front-rear direction when the item holder 100, the mounting member 200, and the installation main body 30 are viewed from a position facing the installation target surface 20 after the item holder 100 is installed on the installation main body 30. In addition, in each of the following figures, the direction along the x-axis is the "horizontal direction," the direction along the y-axis is the "up-down direction," and the direction along the z-axis is the "front-to-back direction."

[0020] The article holding unit 100 has a rear portion 101 disposed opposite the installation target surface 20, and an engagement portion 102 provided on the rear portion 101 and adapted to engage with an installation tool. The rear portion 101 is formed so that its longitudinal direction is in the horizontal direction. The rear portion 101 is provided with two engagement portions 102 spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The horizontal distance between the two engagement portions 102 is narrower than the horizontal length of the article holding unit 100. The article holding unit 100 is configured to be able to hold articles at positions laterally outside at least two engagement portions 102. In this embodiment, the article holding unit 100 stores and holds articles inside. Specifically, the article holding unit 100 is formed in a basket shape and stores and holds articles inside. More specifically, the article holding unit 100 stores and holds articles at positions laterally outside at least two engagement portions 102. The article holder 100 is formed by arranging a plurality of rod-shaped members (hereinafter also referred to as "wire rods") so that they intersect.

[0021] In this embodiment, the engagement portion 102 has two engagement portions 103, 104 that are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Specifically, the engagement portion 102 has an upper engagement portion 103 that is arranged above and a lower engagement portion 104 that is arranged below, and is configured so that the installation main body 30 and the mounting member 200 can be arranged between the upper engagement portion 103 and the lower engagement portion 104. Specifically, the back surface portion 101 is configured so that the installation main body 30 and the mounting member 200 can be arranged between two wires that extend laterally at opposing positions in the vertical direction. When the installation main body 30 and the mounting member 200 are arranged between the two wires, the back surface portion 101 has the upper engagement portion 103 in a region that overlaps with the installation main body 30 in the vertical direction on the upper wire, and the lower engagement portion 104 in a region that overlaps with the mounting member 200 in the vertical direction on the lower wire. That is, the rear surface portion 101 has an upper engagement portion 103 and a lower engagement portion 104 at positions facing each other in the vertical direction.

[0022] In this embodiment, the rear surface portion 101 has a wire rod protruding portion (specifically, a portion formed in a U-shape that opens downward) formed by bending a portion of a wire rod extending in the horizontal direction and protruding upward. The rear surface portion 101 has an upper engagement portion 103 in a region of the wire rod protruding portion that overlaps with the installation main body 30 in the vertical direction when the installation main body 30 is placed inside the wire rod protruding portion. The rear surface portion 101 also has a wire rod that extends linearly in the horizontal direction at a position downwardly spaced apart from the wire rod that constitutes the upper engagement portion 103, and a lower engagement portion 104 in a portion of the wire rod that faces the upper engagement portion 103 in the vertical direction.

[0023] Two installation tools 10 are arranged with a gap between them in the horizontal direction. Each installation tool 10 includes an installation body 30 that protrudes from the installation target surface 20, and a mounting member 200 that is attached to the installation body 30.

[0024] The installation main body 30 is configured to be engageable with the engagement portion 102 of the article holder 100 from one side in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the installation main body 30 is configured to be engageable with the upper engagement portion 103 of the article holder 100 from below. The installation main body 30 also includes a shaft portion 31 extending forward from the installation target surface 20 and a flange portion 32 extending from the shaft portion 31 in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the shaft portion 31. The installation main body 30 also includes a pair of flange portions 32 spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction. Of the pair of flange portions 32, the front flange portion 32 located at the front is provided at the front end of the installation main body 30, and the rear flange portion 32 located at the rear is provided at the rear end of the installation main body 30. The installation main body 30 is configured so that the upper engagement portion 103 of the article holder 100 can be positioned from above between the pair of flange portions 32. The installation main body 30 is fixed to the installation target surface 20 by the fixing means 21. Specifically, the installation main body 30 is fixed to the installation target surface 20 by being fixed to the fixing means 21 that protrudes forward from the installation target surface 20. In this embodiment, the installation main body 30 is fixed to the installation target surface 20 using screws as the fixing means 21.

[0025] The mounting member 200 has a mounting engagement portion 203 that can engage with the engagement portion 102 of the article holding portion 100 from the other side in the up-down direction. Specifically, the mounting member 200 includes a mounting main body portion 201 and a mounting portion 202 that is attached to the installation main body portion 30, and the mounting main body portion 201 is provided with the mounting engagement portion 203. In this embodiment, the mounting member 200 includes, as the mounting portion 202, a detachable portion 202 that is attachable to and detachable from the installation main body portion 30. In the mounting member 200, the mounting main body portion 201 and the detachable portion 202 are integrally formed. Moreover, the entire mounting member 200 is integrally formed using a resin material. Moreover, the entire mounting member 200 is formed in a plate shape.

[0026] The mounting main body 201 is located below the detachable part 202. Specifically, the mounting main body 201 extends downward from the detachable part 202. The mounting main body 201 is disposed so as to be in contact with the installation surface 20. The mounting main body 201 is provided with a mounting engagement part 203 at its lower end. In this embodiment, the mounting main body 201 is formed so that its lower end protrudes forward, and the mounting engagement part 203 is provided at this protruding part. The mounting engagement part 203 is provided with a concave surface 204 on its lower surface into which the engagement part 102 of the article holding part 100, specifically, part of the wire constituting the lower engagement part 104, fits. The concave surface 204 is formed across the entire lateral area of ​​the mounting engagement part 203. The mounting engagement part 203 is configured to be elastically deformable up and down.

[0027] The detachable portion 202 is located above the mounting main body 201. The detachable portion 202 is disposed between the installation main body 30 and the installation target surface 20. Specifically, the detachable portion 202 is disposed between the rear flange portion 32 of the installation main body 30 and the installation target surface 20. The detachable portion 202 is sandwiched between the installation main body 30 and the installation target surface 20. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the detachable portion 202 includes a through-hole 205 formed to allow insertion of a fastening means 21 protruding forward from the installation target surface 20. When attaching the mounting member 200 to the installation main body 30, the fastening means 21 is inserted into the through-hole 205, and the installation main body 30 is fixed to the fastening means 21 from the front. As a result, the detachable portion 202 is sandwiched between the installation main body 30 and the installation target surface 20, forming the installation fixture 10. Conversely, by removing the installation main body 30 from the fixing means 21, the mounting member 200 can be removed.

[0028] In the installation device 10 configured as described above, the mounting member 200 is configured to be movable between a restricting position in which the mounting engagement portion 203 engages with the engagement portion 102 of the item holding portion 100 from the other side in the vertical direction, restricting the vertical movement of the item holding portion 100 relative to the installation main body portion 30, and a retracted position in which the mounting member 200 is retracted from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the item holding portion 100 relative to the installation main body portion 30.

[0029] When the article holding unit 100 is installed on the installation surface 20 using the installation tool 10, the installation main body 30, specifically the shaft 31, is positioned to engage from below with the upper engagement portion 103 of the article holding unit 100, as shown in Fig. 4. Accordingly, the lower engagement portion 104 of the article holding unit 100 pushes up the mounting engagement portion 203, elastically deforming it upward, and the mounting member 200 is placed in the retracted position.

[0030] 5 and 6, by disposing the lower engagement portion 104 of the article holding unit 100 below the mounting engagement portion 203, the mounting engagement portion 203 is disposed in a position where it engages with the lower engagement portion 104 of the article holding unit 100 from above. This restricts the vertical movement of the article holding unit 100 relative to the installation main body 30. In other words, in this state, the mounting member 200 is disposed in the restricted position. In this manner, in this embodiment, the mounting member 200 moves from the retracted position to the restricted position in conjunction with the engagement operation of the article holding unit 100 with the installation main body 30.

[0031] As described above, when the mounting member 200 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 203 engages with the lower engagement portion 104 of the item holding portion 100 from above, thereby restricting the engagement portion 102 of the item holding portion 100 from moving upward relative to the installation main body 30. In addition, the installation main body 30, specifically the shaft portion 31, engages with the upper engagement portion 103 of the item holding portion 100 from below, thereby restricting the engagement portion 102 of the item holding portion 100 from moving downward relative to the installation main body 30.

[0032] In the installation structure including the installation tool 10 and the item holding part 100 as described above, the installation member 200 can be moved to the retracted position by pulling up the mounting engagement part 203 with a finger to elastically deform it. This allows the item holding part 100 to move up and down relative to the installation main body 30, so that the item holding part 100 can be installed or removed from the installation tool 10.

[0033] Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 12. In this embodiment, the configurations of the article holding part 100 and the mounting member 200 are different from those of the first embodiment. Therefore, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described repeatedly.

[0034] 7, the rear surface 101 of the article holder 100 includes an engaging portion 105 formed linearly by a wire extending laterally. The installation main body 30, specifically the shaft 31, is configured to be engageable with the engaging portion 105 of the article holder 100 from one side in the vertical direction. The mounting engaging portion 203 is configured to be engageable with the engaging portion 105 of the article holder 100 from the other side in the vertical direction.

[0035] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the mounting member 200 includes a mounting main body 206 above the detachable portion 202. The mounting main body 206 has a shape that is bent forward near the detachable portion 202, and the mounting engagement portion 203 is formed by a region including the tip of the bent, forward-extending portion. The mounting engagement portion 203 is arranged to overlap with the installation main body 30 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the front end of the mounting engagement portion 203 is arranged to overlap with the front flange portion 32 in the vertical direction. The distance between the front end of the mounting engagement portion 203 and the installation main body 30, specifically the front flange portion 32, is narrower than the thickness of the wire that forms the engagement portion 105 of the article holder 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting member 200 is configured to be movable between a restricting position in which the mounting engagement portion 203 engages with the engagement portion 105 of the item holding portion 100 from the other side in the vertical direction, restricting the vertical movement of the item holding portion 100 relative to the installation main body portion 30, and a retracted position in which the mounting member 200 is retracted from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the item holding portion 100 relative to the installation main body portion 30.

[0037] When the item holding part 100 is installed on the installation surface 20 using the installation tool 10, as shown in Figure 10, the attachment engagement part 203 is pushed up by the engagement part 105 of the item holding part 100 and elastically deforms upward, thereby placing the attachment member 200 in a retracted position.

[0038] 11 and 12, the installation main body 30, specifically the shaft 31, is positioned to engage with the engaging portion 105 of the article holding part 100 from below, and the mounting engaging portion 203 is positioned to engage with the engaging portion 105 of the article holding part 100 from above. This restricts the vertical movement of the article holding part 100 relative to the installation main body 30. In other words, in this state, the mounting member 200 is positioned at the restricted position. In this way, in this embodiment, the mounting member 200 moves from the retracted position to the restricted position in conjunction with the engaging operation of the article holding part 100 with the installation main body 30.

[0039] As described above, when the mounting member 200 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 203 engages with the engagement portion 105 of the article holding portion 100 from above, thereby restricting the engagement portion 105 of the article holding portion 100 from moving upward relative to the installation main body 30. Furthermore, the installation main body 30, specifically the shaft portion 31, engages with the engagement portion 105 of the article holding portion 100 from below, thereby restricting the engagement portion 105 of the article holding portion 100 from moving downward relative to the installation main body 30. Furthermore, as described above, the distance between the front end of the mounting engagement portion 203 and the installation main body 30, specifically the front flange portion 32, is narrower than the thickness of the wire that constitutes the engagement portion 105 of the article holding portion 100, thereby preventing the wire that constitutes the engagement portion 105 from unintentionally slipping out from between the mounting engagement portion 203 and the installation main body 30.

[0040] In the installation structure including the installation tool 10 and the item holding part 100 as described above, the installation member 200 can be moved to the retracted position by pulling up the mounting engagement part 203 with a finger to elastically deform it. This allows the item holding part 100 to move up and down relative to the installation main body 30, so that the item holding part 100 can be installed or removed from the installation tool 10.

[0041] Third Embodiment A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 13 to 19. In this embodiment, the configurations of the article holding part 100 and the mounting member 200 are different from those of the first embodiment. Therefore, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described repeatedly.

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 , the rear surface portion 101 of the article holder 100 includes a wire protruding portion (specifically, a portion formed in a U-shape that opens downward) formed by bending a portion of a wire extending in the horizontal direction and protruding upward. The rear surface portion 101 includes a lower engagement portion 107 in a region of the wire protruding portion that overlaps the installation main body 30 in the vertical direction when the installation main body 30 is placed inside the wire protruding portion. The rear surface portion 101 also includes a wire extending linearly in the horizontal direction at a position above the wire constituting the lower engagement portion 107, and includes an upper engagement portion 106 in a portion of the wire that faces the lower engagement portion 107 in the vertical direction. The installation main body 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, is configured to be engageable with the lower engagement portion 107 of the article holder 100 from one side in the vertical direction. The mounting engagement portion 203 is configured to be engageable with the upper engagement portion 106 of the article holder 100 from the other side in the vertical direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 , the mounting member 200 includes a mounting main body 207 above the detachable portion 202. The mounting main body 207 extends upward from the detachable portion 202. The mounting main body 207 is disposed so as to contact the installation surface 20. The mounting main body 207 is bent forward at a position spaced upward from the detachable portion 202, and the mounting engagement portion 203 is formed by a region including the tip of the bent, forward-extending portion. The mounting engagement portion 203 is disposed so as to overlap with the installation main body 30 in the vertical direction. The front end of the mounting engagement portion 203 is disposed so as to overlap with the front flange portion 32 in the vertical direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting member 200 is configured to be movable between a restricting position in which the mounting engagement portion 203 engages with the lower engagement portion 107 of the item holding portion 100 from the other side in the vertical direction, restricting the vertical movement of the item holding portion 100 relative to the installation main body 30, and a retracted position in which the mounting member 200 is retracted from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the item holding portion 100 relative to the installation main body 30.

[0045] When installing the article holding unit 100 on the installation surface 20 using the installation tool 10, the lower engagement portion 107 of the article holding unit 100 is brought close to the installation main body 30 from above, as shown in Figures 16 and 17. This positions the installation main body 30, specifically the shaft portion 31, in a position where it engages with the lower engagement portion 107 from below. Accordingly, the upper engagement portion 106 of the article holding unit 100 pushes up the mounting engagement portion 203, causing it to elastically deform upward, and the mounting member 200 is placed in the retracted position.

[0046] 18 and 19, by disposing the upper engagement portion 106 of the article holding unit 100 below the mounting engagement portion 203, the mounting engagement portion 203 is disposed in a position where it engages with the upper engagement portion 106 from above. This restricts the vertical movement of the article holding unit 100 relative to the installation main body 30. In other words, in this state, the mounting member 200 is disposed in the restricted position. In this manner, in this embodiment, the mounting member 200 moves from the retracted position to the restricted position in conjunction with the engagement operation of the article holding unit 100 with the installation main body 30.

[0047] As described above, when the mounting member 200 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 203 engages with the upper engagement portion 106 of the article holding portion 100 from above, thereby restricting the engagement portion 102 of the article holding portion 100 from moving upward relative to the installation main body 30. In addition, the installation main body 30, specifically the shaft portion 31, engages with the lower engagement portion 107 of the article holding portion 100 from below, thereby restricting the engagement portion 102 of the article holding portion 100 from moving downward relative to the installation main body 30.

[0048] In the installation structure including the installation tool 10 and the item holding part 100 as described above, the installation member 200 can be moved to the retracted position by pulling up the mounting engagement part 203 with a finger to elastically deform it. This allows the item holding part 100 to move up and down relative to the installation main body 30, so that the item holding part 100 can be installed or removed from the installation tool 10.

[0049] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the article holder from coming off the installation surface due to rotation.

[0050] The installation tool, mounting member, and installation structure according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the configurations, methods, etc. of the above-described and following multiple embodiments and reference embodiments may be arbitrarily adopted and combined. For example, it goes without saying that the configurations, methods, etc. of one embodiment and reference embodiment may be applied to the configurations, methods, etc. of other embodiments.

[0051] In the above embodiment, each mounting member 200 has a mounting portion 202 that is detachable from the item holding portion 100, but this is not limited to this, and for example, the mounting portion 202 can be configured so that it cannot be removed from the item holding portion 100.

[0052] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, the mounting member 200 is formed in a plate shape, but is not limited to this, and can be configured to have a shape other than a plate shape.

[0053] Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the mounting engagement portion 203 is pushed up by the wire that constitutes each engagement portion 104, 105, 106 of the item holding portion 100, causing the mounting engagement portion 203 to elastically deform and move to the retracted position, but this is not limited to this, and for example, the mounting engagement portion 203 can be configured to be moved to the retracted position by elastically deforming it with a finger.

[0054] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, the item holding unit 100 holds items by storing them therein, but is not limited to this, and for example, items that hold items by hooking them, placing them on, clamping them, supporting them, or hanging them can be used.

[0055] Furthermore, the surface on which the device can be installed is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include the wall surface of a kitchen sink, the wall surface of a washroom or bathroom, the wall surface of furniture, the wall surface of fixtures, and the interior and exterior walls of a house.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the entire mounting member 200 is integrally formed using a resin material, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be configured, for example, so that the entire mounting member is integrally formed using a metal material. Alternatively, the mounting member may be configured so that one portion is formed using a resin material and the other portion is formed using a metal material. [Explanation of symbols]
