Is inserted into the cutout 27 from above the cutout 27 so that the shower head 14 can be hooked on the hook member 22.
[0015]
The circular shaft holes 25 and 26 have serrations m and n formed in the left-right direction (the direction indicated by the arrow S), respectively, at positions close to each other on the inner peripheral surface. That is, the circular shaft hole 25 has serrations m formed in the S direction in an annular region on the inner half of the inner peripheral surface of the circular shaft hole 25. The circular shaft hole 26 has serrations n formed in the S direction in an annular region on the inner half of the inner peripheral surface of the circular shaft hole 26.
[0016]
The circular holes 30 and 31 have serrations m ′ and n ′ formed in the S direction, respectively, at positions on the inner peripheral surface that are separated from each other. That is, the circular hole 30 has serrations m ′ formed in the S direction in the annular region on the outer half of the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 30. The circular hole 31 has serrations n ′ formed in the S direction in an annular region in the outer half of the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 31.
[0017]
The hook member 22 is surrounded by the mounting portion 50 and the arm portions 23 and 24 of the holding member 21 in a state where the circular hole 30 communicates with the circular shaft hole 25 and the circular hole 31 communicates with the circular shaft hole 26. Installed in the space G. In this case, the left side surface A of the hook member 22 and the inner side surface B of the arm portion 23 are in contact with each other, and the right side surface C of the hook member 22 and the inner side surface D of the arm portion 24 are also in contact with each other. is there. Further, the hook member 22 has an inwardly curved surface portion e extending from the rear surface E to the lower surface Q so as to allow the hook member 22 to rotate without being blocked by the inner surface F of the mounting portion 50 of the holding member 21. .
[0018]
Reference numeral 33 denotes a substantially cap-shaped pivot member having serrations m ″ meshing with the serrations m and m ′ of the circular shaft hole 25 and the circular hole 30 in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface X. And is arranged so as to reach the circular hole 30. The pivot member 33 is arranged in such a manner that the opening 33 a faces the bottom 28 of the circular hole 30. The pivot member 33 has serrations m ″ in an annular region on the inner half (opening 33a side) of the outer peripheral surface X. Furthermore, the serration m ″ is formed with a locking member 41 having four locking claws 40 at a central angle of 90 °.
[0019]
On the other hand, 34 is a substantially cap-shaped pivot member having serrations n ″ meshing with the serrations n and n ′ of the circular shaft hole 26 and the circular hole 31 in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface Y. The hole 26 is disposed so as to reach the circular hole 31. The pivot member 34 is arranged in such a manner that the opening 34 a faces the bottom 29 of the circular hole 31. The pivot member 34 has a serration n ″ in an annular region on the inner half (opening 34a side) of the outer peripheral surface Y. Further, the serration n ″ is formed with a locking member 43 having four locking claws 42 at intervals of 90 ° at the central angle.
[0020]
Further, the pivot member 33 has an annular inner circumferential groove 36, and the pivot member 34 has an annular inner circumferential groove 37.
[0021]
The serration m, serration n, serration m ′, serration n ′, serration m ″, and serration n ″ have the same shape. The pivot member 33 and the pivot member 34 have the same shape.
[0022]
The pair of pivot members 33 and 34 constitute a pivot shaft that rotates the hook member 22 in the vertical direction (direction indicated by the arrow T).
[0023]
Hereinafter, a switching mechanism for switching the holding member 21 between the state in which the hook member 22 can rotate in the T direction and the state in which the hook member 22 cannot rotate will be described.
[0024]
Reference numerals 44 and 45 denote a pair of elastic members that urge the pair of pivot members 33 and 34 in directions K and K ′ that are always separated from each other.
[0025]
Thus, one end of the elastic member 44 is fitted into the inner circumferential groove 36 through the opening 33 a of the pivotal support member 33, and the other end of the elastic member 44 is brought into contact with the bottom portion 28 of the circular hole 30. The elastic member 44 is interposed between the pivot member 33 and the circular hole 30. At this time, the pivot member 33 is urged in the K direction by the urging force of the elastic member 44, but the four locking claws 40 are formed on the inner annular end surface 60 of the serration m ′ (see FIG. 3A). Locked. That is, while the serration m ″ meshes with the serrations m and m ′, the locking claw 40 presses the inner annular end surface 60 of the serration m ′ by the urging force of the elastic member 44.
[0026]
Further, one end of the elastic member 45 is fitted into the inner circumferential groove 37 through the opening 34 a of the pivot member 34, and the other end of the elastic member 45 is brought into contact with the bottom 29 of the circular hole 31, thereby elastically The member 45 is interposed between the pivot member 34 and the circular hole 31.
At this time, the pivot member 34 is urged in the K ′ direction by the urging force of the elastic member 45, and the four locking claws 42 are arranged on the inner annular end face 60 ′ of the serration n ′ (see FIG. 3A). ]. That is, while the serration n ″ meshes with the serrations n and n ′, the locking claw 42 presses the inner annular end surface 60 ′ of the serration n ′ by the urging force of the elastic member 45.
[0027]
Thereby, the joint rotation of the pivot members 33 and 34 and the hook member 22 can be prevented. This state is a state in which the hook member 22 is locked in a state in which the hook member 22 cannot rotate in the T direction. In this locked state, for example, the shower hook 16 does not rotate even if the user's hand hits the shower head 14 that is hooked on the hook member 22.
[0028]
The locking claws 40, 42, pivot members 33, 34, circular shaft holes 25, 26, circular holes 30, 31, serrations m, m ′, m ″, n, n ′, n ″, and elastic members 44 , 45 constitute the switching mechanism.
[0029]
On the other hand, the hook member 22 is locked by a user performing a simple switching operation that does not require a force to press the pivotal support members 33 and 34 in a direction close to each other against the urging force of the elastic members 44 and 45. It can be rotated in the T direction from the state. In this case, the pressing force required to press the pivot members 33 and 34 has an advantage that it can be smaller than the rotational force required when the shower hook is rotated by a conventional click mechanism. In other words, the user can rotate the hook member 22 with a switching operation easier than in the prior art.
[0030]
Then, when the user presses the pivot members 33 and 34 toward each other, for example, the serration m ″ of the pivot member 33 is disengaged from the serration m and meshes only with the serration m ′. At the same time, the pressing by the four locking claws 40 on the inner annular end surface 60 of the serration m ′ provided on the hook member 22 is released. At the same time, the pressing by the four locking claws 42 on the inner annular end surface 60 ′ of the serration n ′ provided on the hook member 22 is also released on the pivot member 34 side. In this case, it is preferable that the user guides the hook member 22 to a desired position in the T direction while pressing the pivot members 33 and 34.
[0031]
In this way, the hook member 22 can be rotated in the T direction until the pressing of the pivot supporting members 33 and 34 is released, and the hook member 22 is locked when the pressing of the pivot supporting members 33 and 34 is released. Since it can be in a state, it has an advantage that the hook member 22 can be set at an arbitrary position.
[0032]
By the way, the locked state can be released while preventing the suction plate 20 from coming off the wall surface 5. That is, when the locked state is released, only the pressing force of the user is applied to the pivot members 33 and 34, and the pressing force is hardly transmitted to the hook member 22 and the holding member 21, so that the pressing force is transmitted to the holding member 21. Thus, it is possible to reliably avoid the situation in which the suction plate 20 is detached from the wall surface 5.
[0033]
For example, in order to change the shower hook 16 from the state of the shower hook 16 used by a standard height adult to a state where the child can use the shower hook 16, the hook member 22 is set so that the inclination angle θ of the shower head 14 with respect to the wall surface 5 is increased. Can be easily changed from the state indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1 to the state indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1.
[0034]

It comprises a shower head hook member 22 'and a switching mechanism for switching the hook member 22' to a rotatable state and a non-rotatable state with respect to the holding member 21 '. This switching mechanism is the switching mechanism 40, 42, 33, 34, 25, 26, 30, 31, m, m ′, m ″, n, n ′, n ″, 44, 45 shown in the above embodiment. It is the same composition as.
[0037]
Further, the holding member 21 'is composed of a suction plate 20, a spacer 51, a pair of left and right arm portions 23' and 24 ', and an attachment portion 50' connecting the both 23 'and 24'. Reference numeral 52 denotes a push button for installing the suction disk 20 on the wall 5, and when this is pressed, the suction disk 20 is attracted to the wall 5 via an interlocking mechanism provided in the spacer 51. 53 is a suction disk peeling lip provided on the outer peripheral side of the suction disk 20, and the suction disk 20 can be easily removed from the wall 5 by picking up the lip.
[0038]
On the other hand, the hook member 22 ′ has a notch 27 ′ at the center front position for hooking the shower head 14 (see FIG. 1), and a pair of arm members 60 that are spread to the left and right to make it easier to catch the shower head 14. , 61. That is, the end portions 60a, 61a of the arm members 60, 61 are open in a diverging direction so that the shower head 14 can be hooked from the front side of the hook member 22 ', and the entrance 66 of the notch 27' is opened. Is forming. When the grip portion 14a (see FIG. 1) of the shower head 14 is inserted from the inlet 66, the arm members 60 and 61 spread in a direction away from each other. After that, when the grip portion 14a enters the notch 27 ′, the arm member 60, 61 61 closes in the direction which adjoins mutually, and acts so that the grip part 14a in notch 27 'may be pinched | interposed. Further, the arm members 60 and 61 can be hung with small items used in the bathroom 4 or the shower room, which is very convenient.
[0039]
