Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is a towel rack in which a decorative cap is fitted across the entire periphery of a fixture that can be inserted into both ends of a pipe for hanging towels. Regarding the improvement of

[Conventional technology and its problems]

As shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b, conventional towel racks of this kind have a pipe for hanging towels that is supported by inserting the pipe into a suitable fixing device, leaving both ends or both ends slightly open. Since the fixing device was fixed to the wall surface with a screw, the screw on the fixing device was exposed and often rusted due to moisture, which seriously spoiled the aesthetic appearance.
There was also the problem that clothing etc. could get caught on the end of the pipe or the corner of the fixture.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the present invention has developed a fixing device that is integrally formed with a substrate that can be fixed to a wall surface and a support plate that has a locking hole into which the end of the pipe for hanging a towel is inserted. The above-mentioned disadvantages can be solved at once by fitting a spherical cosmetic cap along the entire periphery of the fixing device.

[Effect]

The towel rack of the present invention has the function that both ends of the mounting screw and pipe appearing on the surface of the fixture are completely hidden by the decorative cap.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a relatively hard plastic fixture that is inserted through both ends of a pipe 4 for hanging a towel. The support plate 2 has a round tip, a locking hole 2' near the center into which the pipe end can be inserted, and step portions 2'' on both sides of the hole 2', and screws at multiple locations. A semicircular substrate 3 with a through hole 3' for V-stopping is integrally molded so as to be orthogonal to each other.

Reference numeral 5 designates a decorative cap having a spherical outer surface which is fitted onto the peripheral edge of the fixture 1, and grooves 5' into which the stepped portions 2'' of both side edges of the support plate can be slidably fitted into the inner surfaces of both side peripheral edges of the decorative cap. It is made up of the following.

In addition, 6 and 6' in the figure are the stepped portions 2'' on the support plate side,
A concavity and a convexity are formed in one place of the concave groove 5' of the decorative cap so that they can fit into each other freely, 7 is a reinforcing rib formed at the center of the inner surface of the support plate 2, and 8 is a reinforcing rib formed on the outer surface of the support plate. , shows a non-slip device used when removing the cap 5.

Next, regarding the request for installation of the proposed towel rack, first, the fixing devices 1, 1 of the same shape are fitted and inserted into both ends of the pipe 4 until the bottom surface of the locking hole 2' of the support plate comes into contact, and then the state shown in FIG. Place each board 3 on the wall w
etc. are fixed with screws respectively.

After that, by slidingly fitting the concave groove 5' of the decorative cap 5 along the step 2'' of the support plate 2, the inner peripheral edge of the decorative cap completely covers the entire peripheral edge of the support plate 2 and the base plate 3 of the fixture. The step part 2'' is covered with
The cap is elastically fitted into the concave and convex portions 6, 6' of the concave groove 5', and the cap is fixed to the fixture 1 to such an extent that there is no risk of it falling off under normal conditions.

In addition, when relocating the proposed towel rack,
If you forcefully pull the cosmetic cap 5 toward you using the anti-slip 8, the elastic fit between the projections and recesses 6 and 6' will be released and it can be easily removed. It's good.

Furthermore, the towel rack of the present invention, as shown by the dashed line in Figures 1 and 2, allows the screws to be removed by extending the base plate 3 inward from the support plate and expanding its contact area with the wall surface. No need to use adhesive tape, etc.
Since it can be fixed to a wall using only adhesive, it can also be attached to tile surfaces where screws cannot be attached.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, the towel rack of the present invention has a decorative cap 5 with a spherical surface attached to the inner surface of each fixture 1 on both sides.
Because it can be completely covered by the screws V for mounting the board 3 and both ends of the pipe 4, there is no risk of the screws etc. rusting due to water spray, resulting in a beautiful appearance. Along with being preserved,
It exhibits excellent practical effects that could not be expected from conventional towel racks of this type, such as there being no risk of clothes getting caught on both ends of the pipe or its fixing device.
