FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a sliding shower hook 1 according to the present invention.
Connect the connecting bush 6 and the handle 7 to the shower hook 1
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a state where it is detached from a main body 3 of FIG. The shower hook 1 is provided with a hook part 2 having an insertion space 2a for locking a shower head at one end of a main body part 3, and a handle 7 at the other end. The handle 7 is used to switch the operation of stopping and moving the main body 3 with respect to the slide bar inserted through the insertion hole 3a. A pusher 5 and a connecting bush 6 are provided inside the main body 3, and a decorative cover 30 is provided on the surface of the main body 3.

FIG. 2 shows an internal structure of the shower hook 1 in an assembled state. The means for stopping the shower hook 1 with respect to the slide bar is achieved by moving the pusher 5 forward toward the insertion hole 3a of the main body 3. The mechanism in the present embodiment is as follows. The configuration is adopted. The body 3 is provided with a region in which the pusher 5 is provided with the pressing surface 5a facing the insertion hole 3a, and a groove that fits with the protrusion 5b provided on the side surface of the pusher 5 on the inner surface of the region. 3b is formed. Therefore, the pusher 5 can move forward and backward without rotating along the groove 3b. On the opposite side of the pusher 5 from the pressing surface 5a, a spiral shaft 5c having a male screw engraved on the peripheral surface is provided.

A connecting bush 6 having a female screw portion 6b is interposed between the pusher 5 and the handle 7, and the screw shaft 5c is screw-fitted to the female screw portion 6b to be connected. A bush 6 is rotatably connected to the pusher 5. A ridge 6a is provided around the side surface of the connecting bush 6, and the ridge 6a is engaged with a stopper 4 provided at an end of the main body portion 3 on the handle 7 side, whereby the connecting bush 6 is formed. Is prevented from coming out of the main body 3.

The connecting bush 6 and the handle 7 are connected using a rotation preventing structure. In this embodiment, a large number of V-shaped projections extending in the axial direction are provided between the two, as shown in FIG. A serration structure S is provided. By engaging the serration structure S as shown in FIG. 3, both can rotate integrally. Further, by screwing a screw 9 inserted through the side end surface of the handle 7 to a nut member 8 attached to the connecting bush 6,
The handle 7 is detachably fixed to the connecting bush. A decorative cap 10 for covering the head of the screw 9 is attached to the side end surface of the handle 7.

Based on such a configuration, when the pusher 5 of the shower hook 1 is in the retracted position shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the handle 7 is moved in the direction of arrow P in FIG. When rotated by a predetermined angle to the position shown, the connecting bushes 6 connected by the serration structure rotate simultaneously. Since the connecting bush 6 is prevented from coming off by the stopper 4 of the main body 3, the pusher 5 connected by screw fitting is guided by the groove 3 b of the main body 3 (see FIG. 2). As shown in (C), it advances in the direction of the insertion hole 3a. Thereby, the pressing surface 5a of the pusher 5 presses the side peripheral surface of the slide bar inserted into the insertion hole 3a of the main body 3, and stops the shower hook 1 at a desired position of the slide bar. When the handle 7 is reversely rotated from the state shown in FIG. 3D to the state shown in FIG. 3B, the pusher 5 is retracted to the position shown in FIG.

By the way, there is a problem that the pusher 5 is worn by repeated use, and the position of the knob 7a of the handle 7 when the shower hook 1 is stopped is gradually changed. This is because it is very difficult to maintain a constant tightening force when stopping the shower hook 1 on the slide bar because the rotating operation of the handle 7 is manually performed.
The user's psychology tends to give excessive tightening force more than necessary. Therefore, the pusher 5 generally made of a synthetic resin is susceptible to abrasion and gradually becomes shorter. Therefore, even if the direction of the knob 7a of the handle 7 in the tightened state in which the shower hook 1 is stopped is initially set to an angle that is easy for the user to operate, it is gradually used by repeated use. The direction of the knob 7a of the handle 7 changes, and eventually, the operation of the handle 7 becomes very difficult for the user. In the conventional shower hook 21 (see FIG. 7), it is structurally difficult to correct the direction of the handle 25 even if the pressing body 28 is worn and shortened. However, in this embodiment, since the handle 7 and the connecting bush 6 are connected by a serration structure, when the position of the handle 7 for stopping the shower hook 1 changes due to wear of the pusher 5 due to repeated use or the like. But handle 7a handle 7a
Can be corrected to an appropriate position with the best operability. That is, by simply removing the handle 7 from the connecting bush 6 and changing the engagement position of the serration, the position of the handle 7 in the tightened state where the shower hook 1 stops on the slide bar can be reset to a desired position. Easy to do.

In this embodiment, a locking projection 7b is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the handle 7 and a notch 4a is formed between stoppers 4 provided at the end of the main body 3, so that the shower hook 1 In the assembled state, the locking projection 7b of the handle 7 can be moved only within the range of the notch 4a between the stoppers 4 and 4. With this configuration,
The rotation angle of the handle 7 can be restricted within a predetermined range. Therefore, if the range of the notch 4a is set so that the rotation angle of the handle 7 is set to the minimum necessary for the advance amount of the pusher 5 to stop the shower hook 1, the handle 7 is rotated more than necessary. Let me pusher 5
Therefore, there is no possibility that excessive tightening force is applied to the motor.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hook 2 and the main body 3 are connected to a nut member 13 having a bolt 12 attached to the main body 3.
To be connected by screwing. In the drawing, 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a cosmetic cap for closing an opening of the hook 2 into which a driver or the like is inserted for rotating the bolt 12.

Incidentally, there is a case where it is desired to change the angle of the hook part 2 with respect to the main body part 3 according to the use condition of the shower hook 1. In the present embodiment, the angle between the hook 2 and the main body 3 can be adjusted by the following mechanism. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5A, on the hook portion 2 side of the connection portion between the hook portion 2 and the main body portion 3,
The radial V-shaped grooves in the surface mounting the ring-shaped joint member 14 having a bonding surface J ₁ which is a number formed radially. On the other hand,
The connecting portion of the main body portion 3 side, is mounted a ring-shaped joint member 15 having a bonding surface J ₂ that such, partially form the same V-shaped groove shown in (B) of FIG. 2 and FIG. Appropriate detent means are respectively provided between the former ring-shaped joint member 14 and the hook portion 2 and between the latter ring-shaped joint member 15 and the main body portion 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a spring 16 is compressed and mounted between the main body 3 and the ring-shaped joint member 15 mounted on the main body 3, and the hook 2 is assembled to the main body 3 with the bolt 12. when the, V and joint surface J ₁ of the former ring-shaped joint member 14, and the joint surface J ₂ of the latter ring-shaped joint member 15, which is provided to each
In a state in which the V-shaped grooves are engaged, they are configured to come into close contact with each other by the urging force of the spring 16.

With the above structure, when the main body 3 is fixed to a slide bar or the like, and a predetermined or more rotational force is applied to the hook 2, the ring-shaped joint member 15 on the main body 3 side
And the hook portion 2 can be slightly retreated against the urging force to rotate the hook portion 2 by one engagement with the V-shaped groove. If the force is continued to be applied, it is possible to rotate the hook portion 2 by two or more meshing V-shaped grooves.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, a detent structure for connecting the connecting bush 6 and the handle 7 may employ a spline structure other than the serration structure. further,
It is conceivable to adopt a key structure, but in this case, it is necessary to consider that it becomes difficult to adjust the angle of the handle. In addition, the present invention does not prevent an appropriate change according to the embodiment.

[0019]

The sliding shower hook according to the present invention has a connecting bush interposed between a pusher for pressing a slide bar and a handle, and the pusher and the connecting bush are connected by screw fitting to connect with the handle. Since the bush and the bush are connected using a detachable rotation preventing structure, when the handle is rotated, the pusher in the main body advances and retreats at a screw fitting portion with the connecting bush, and the handle itself does not advance and retreat. Therefore, since there is no part that enters and exits in appearance, the appearance of the use state is good and the design restrictions are reduced.
