And a simple attaching / detaching mechanism.

The frame 2 has an outer bent portion A having a narrow width L.
And the front part B. That is, the frame 2 is formed flat with a hollow space 33 having a width L narrow enough to accommodate the end of the towel 25 between the frame 2 and the suction cup 4 described later. A pair of left and right openings 1 and 1 are formed in the front portion B. In this embodiment, the frame 2 is formed flat, the opening 1 is circular, and the bent portion A of the frame 2 is formed horizontally with the upper portion 5a having an arc-shaped mountain M formed in the center. It is composed of a lower portion 5b and a pair of left and right side portions 5c and 5d formed by drawing a semicircle from the left and right of the lower portion 5b to the upper portion 5b.

The simple attachment / detachment mechanism includes a bowl-shaped suction cup 4 made of an elastic material to be adsorbed on the wall surface W, a cap 6 serving as a button for pressing the suction cup 4, a hexagon nut 7 and a washer 8, a coil spring 9, And a bolt 13 buried and fixed to the suction cup 4 and a bolt 13 having a head 11 buried and fixed at the center of the suction cup 4 and projecting the screw portion 12 in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface W.

Further, the frame 2 has a recess 16 in the center front surface, and a hole 16a through which the screw portion 12 passes is formed in the center of the recess 16.

In the frame 2, an edge of the arc-shaped mountain M, which is a contact portion of the upper portion 5a with the suction cup 4,
A saw-tooth portion 17 formed by a large number of saw-tooth-shaped pieces b is formed at the center edge of the lower portion 5b, which is a contact portion with the suction cup 4.

On the other hand, as in the case of the saw-toothed portion 17, a saw-toothed portion 18 in which a large number of sawtooth-shaped pieces c are continuous over the entire circumference is also formed on the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface of the suction cup 4. The suction cup 4 is configured to be pressed in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface W in a state where the edge of the arc-shaped mountain M and the center edge of the lower portion 5b are in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface of the suction cup 4. in this case,
Since the sawtooth portions 17 and 18 are engaged with each other (see, for example, FIG. 4), the rotation of the frame 2 can be prevented.

The suction cup 4 has a central portion 19 having a central flat surface m, a bent portion 31 bent obliquely downward from the central portion 19, and a contact portion 32 which comes into contact with the wall surface W at the time of setting.
It is composed of

The plate body 10 in the suction cup 4 has a wall surface W
In this embodiment, a substantially disk-shaped member having a through hole 10a for a bolt 13 in the center is employed. Then, loosely fit through the bolt 13,
The plate 10 is embedded in the suction cup 4 together with the head 11 in a state where the plate 10 is connected to the back surface 11 a of the head 11 of the bolt 13. For example, when the plate body 10 is made of metal, the plate body 10 can be connected to the bolt 13 by a joining means such as brazing, and when the plate body 10 is made of a synthetic resin, it can be connected to the bolt 13 with an adhesive. As is clear from FIG. 4, the plate body 10 has a longer diameter than the head 11 of the bolt 13, and has a central portion 1 of the suction cup 4.
Nine regions are formed in a size that can sufficiently cover the region. 10b is an outer peripheral edge of the plate body 10 and the central flat surface m
Are extended obliquely downward from a central portion 20 which is installed in parallel with the first portion. In addition, the said plate body 10 is
The bolt 13 may be arranged on the surface 11 b side of the head 11.

A bolt 13 is loosely inserted through a center hole 16a of the main body formed in the recess 16 of the frame 2. The cap 6 is fixed to the tip of the screw portion 12 via the hexagon nut 7 and the washer 8, and the cap 6 functions as a pressing button. In this case, on the back side of the cap 6, a fitting hole 22 with a step n having a size that allows the hexagonal nut 7 to be fitted is formed. The cap 6 is fixed to the tip of the screw portion 12 by tightening the hexagon nut 7 until the cap 6 comes into contact with the bottom portion 22a. And when not pressed (before use)
, The pressing surface e of the cap 6 is provided so as to protrude from the peripheral front surface t of the recess 16.

Further, when the cap 6 is pressed (see, for example, FIG. 3), the pressing surface e is positioned so as to slightly protrude from the front surface t around the recess 16 so that the towel holder T with a suction cup is placed.
Is attached.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a lip formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the suction cup 4. In addition to the recess 16, the front portion B of the frame 2 has an L-shaped hook 2 between the opening 1 and the cap 6.
4 are formed as a pair of left and right.

The rubber body 3 for hanging a towel has a circular outer shape and is fitted into the circular opening 1. Reference numeral 29 denotes an annular groove into which the rubber member 3 is fitted.
0 is fitted (see FIG. 5).

The rubber body 3 has a cut 26 for hanging a towel 25, and the cut 26 is formed in a substantially cross shape.

Thus, even if the towel 25 is hung casually, the towel 25 can be hung without slipping down. In other words, the towel 25 can be held without having to be folded just by inserting the towel 25 into the cut 26 obtained by cutting the rubber body 3. As described above, the holding of the towel 25 is performed by a simple operation of inserting the end of the towel 25 into the cut 26. Further, the towel 25 can be removed by a simple operation of pulling the towel 25.

In order to attach the towel rack T with a suction cup to the wall surface W, the wall surface W is cleaned to remove dust, dirt, oil and the like, and then the frame is formed with the suction cup 4 pressed against the wall surface W. 2 is applied to the contact portion 32. In this case, adjustment is made so that the frame 2 does not shift up and down.

In this state, the cap 6 is strongly pushed toward the wall surface W, and the suction cup 4 is deformed to bring the space 30 formed between the wall surface W and the suction cup 4 into a vacuum state. That is, the air in the space 30 is pushed out by pressing the cap 6 and strongly pressing the suction cup 4 through the bolt 13 and the plate body 10 in a state where the coil spring 9 is compressed, and the tensile load of the coil spring 9, that is, By pulling the suction cup 4 using compression, the central part 1 of the suction cup 4
9 produces a strong suction force. Thereby, the towel hook T can be strongly attached to the wall surface W via the frame 2.

As described above, in a state where the suction cup 4 is pressed against the wall surface W, the towel hook T is securely pressed by the simple operation of merely pressing the cap 6 protruding from the front surface t around the central recess 16 without fail. Can be attached to

Further, the user can easily remove the towel hook T from the wall surface W by simply picking up the lip portion 23 and putting air into the space 30 from the state of attachment of the towel hook T.

Further, in the prior art, if the space between the pipe 92 and the wall surface is small, it is impossible to hang a towel, so that an appropriate advance space is required. In the present invention, the end of the towel 25 is sandwiched by the rubber body 3. Since the towel 25 can be held simply by being removed, it is possible to provide a towel rail with a small space for feeding the towel.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention in which a pair of left and right openings 1 and 1 are provided in the front portion B of the frame 2 and the opening 1 is also provided immediately below the cap 6. In this case, the cap 6
The reason why the opening 1 is provided directly below, not directly above, is to prevent the towel from hiding the cap 6.

FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention in which the cut 26 of the rubber body 3 is formed in a chrysanthemum crack shape.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cap is fixed to the tip of the screw portion via the hexagon nut and the washer, so that the cap can be easily pushed only in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface. Since the bolt can be moved together with the cap by operation and the suction cup can be strongly pressed through the plate, a towel hook with a suction cup that can be easily attached to and detached from the wall surface can be provided.

Further, no scars or the like are left on the wall surface.

Further, since the towel can be held only by sandwiching the end of the towel with the rubber body, the space for feeding the towel can be reduced.
