DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washstand for washing hair and a holding structure for a shower head installed in a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a shower head 2 installed in a dressing table or a bathroom capable of washing hair, locking of the shower head 2 to a mounting base 1 is called serration as shown in FIGS. The engagement between the locking portion 3 and the locked portion 4 is performed by adjusting the engagement state between the locking portion 3 and the locked portion 4. The swinging position of the held shower head 2 is adjusted to adjust the rotating position of the shower head 2 to an arbitrary position so that the shower head 2 can be attached to the mounting base 1.

[0003]

By the way, when the shower water from the shower head 2 is used, it may be necessary to slightly change the swing angle of the shower head 2 depending on the use condition. However, in the above-described conventional example, when the swinging rotation angle of the shower head 2 is changed, it is necessary to release the engagement between the locking portion 3 and the locked portion 4. Must be once removed from the mounting base 1 and the shower head 2 must be mounted on the mounting base 1 so that the locking portion 3 and the locked portion 4 are engaged again. Even when the angle is slightly changed, it is necessary to remove the shower head 2 from the mounting base 1 and the adjustment is troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem, and to hold a shower head capable of adjusting the swing angle of the shower head even when the shower head is locked on a mounting base. It seeks to provide structure.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the end of a shower head 2 is removably inserted into a mounting base 1 and a locking mechanism provided on the mounting base 1 is provided. The part 3 and the locked part 4 provided on the shower head 2 are engaged with each other so that the swinging rotation position of the shower head 2 with respect to the mounting base 1 can be positioned.
A base 7 and a cylinder 6 rotatably attached to the base 7 to swing the shower head 2 around the shower head 2.
A locking groove 11 is formed along the circumferential direction on one of the opposing surfaces of the base 7 and the cylindrical body 6, and the other of the opposing surfaces is engaged with the locking groove 11. The stop claw 12 is provided in a protruding manner.

A recess 8 is formed between the cylinder 6 and the base 7 along the circumferential direction, and an O-ring 9 is provided in the recess 8. And the base 7 may be elastically contacted.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the shower head 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1 such that the locking portion 3 and the locked portion 4 are engaged with each other. By engaging the locking claws 12 with the locking grooves 11 of the base 7, the cylindrical body 6 is attached to the base 7 in a state where it is prevented from coming off.
The locking claw 12 moves along the locking groove 11 in a state where the shower head 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1 so that the base 7 can be moved.
, The cylindrical body 6 can be rotated, and the swing angle of the shower head 2 can be adjusted while the shower head 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1. Furthermore, the shower head 2 is attached to the shower head 2 by the neck.
Rotatably attached to base 7 and base 7 to swing and rotate
Is provided, the base 7 or the base is provided.
Even if the cylindrical body 6 rotatably attached to 7 is damaged,
Pull out the shower head 2 from the base 1 to easily repair or
Exchange can take place. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a recess 8 is formed along the circumferential direction between the cylindrical body 6 and the base 7, and the O-ring 9 is disposed in the recess 8. Since the O-ring 9 is configured to elastically contact the cylindrical body 6 and the base 7, the contact resistance between the base 7 and the cylindrical body 6 is increased by the O-ring 9.
The shower head 2 is securely fixed after the rotation operation.
