Please refer to FIGS. In this specification, the horizontal depth direction when viewed from the front of the wall W to which the article receiver 10 is attached is the front-rear direction X, the horizontal direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction X is the left-right direction Y, and the vertical direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction X is the up-down direction. It is called direction Z. The front side seen from the same viewpoint is the front side, and the back side is the rear side.

The article receiver 10 is attached to the wall W. The article receiver 10 of this embodiment is installed in a bathroom and attached to a wall W forming a bathroom space inside. The article receiver 10 of this embodiment is a wall-mounted shelf for receiving articles 12 . The article receptacle 10 comprises a body 14 , an adsorbent 16 arranged between the body 14 and the wall W, and a soft material 18 arranged between the body 14 and the adsorbent 16 .

Body 14 includes a receiving portion 20 capable of receiving article 12 and a back plate portion 24 forming a back portion 22 of body 14 . The main body 14 is made of metal, resin, or the like, for example. The body 14 of this embodiment is constructed from a single piece. Alternatively, the main body 14 may be composed of a plurality of members. The receiving portion 20 and the back plate portion 24 of this embodiment are integrally formed as part of the same member. Alternatively, the receiving portion 20 and the back plate portion 24 may be provided separately. When the article receiver 10 is installed in a bathroom, the articles 12 are, for example, push bottles, soaps, soap holders, decorations, and the like.

The receiving portion 20 of this embodiment protrudes forward from the back plate portion 24 . Specifically, the receiving portion 20 protrudes forward from an intermediate portion in the vertical direction Z of the back plate portion 24 . When the article receiver 10 is a wall-mounted shelf as in the present embodiment, the receiver 20 can receive the article 12 by placing the article 12 thereon. The receiving part 20 of this embodiment includes a storage part 26 that can store at least a portion of the article 12 .

The back portion 22 faces the wall W in the front-rear direction X. As shown in FIG. The back plate portion 24 extends in the vertical direction Z with the front-rear direction X as its plate thickness direction.

The main body 14 includes a recess 28 that is provided on the rear surface portion 22 of the main body 14 and is recessed toward the front side, and an outer peripheral wall portion 30 that forms an outer peripheral surface portion around the upper, lower, right, and left sides of the main body 14 . The recess 28 is formed inside the outer peripheral wall portion 30 .

The attracting body 16 can be attracted to the wall W by magnetic force. To achieve this, the attracting body 16 is equipped with a magnet 17 . The attracting body 16 of this embodiment includes only the magnet 17 . In addition to this, the attracting body 16 may be provided with another member integrated with the magnet 17 in addition to the magnet 17 . The wall W is made of a material capable of attracting the attracting body 16 by magnetic force. This material may be a soft magnetic material such as iron or a hard magnetic material such as a ferrite magnet.

The adsorbent 16 of this embodiment has a flexible sheet shape that can be deformed according to the wall W with which the adsorbent 16 contacts. Here, "deforming according to the wall W" means that, for example, when the article receiver 10 is attached to the wall W and the wall W deforms, the adsorbent 16 deforms according to the deformation. Say things. In addition, "deforming according to the wall W" means that, for example, when the adsorbent 16 of the assembled article receiver 10 is attached to the wall W, the adsorbent 16 deforms according to the surface shape of the wall W. It means to This means that, for example, when the surface shape of the wall W includes a gently curved shape such as warp or undulation, the adsorbent 16 can be deformed according to the curved shape. The curved surface shape here refers to at least one of a convex curved surface shape that is convex toward the article receptacle 10 side in the front-rear direction X, and a concave curved surface shape that is concave on the side opposite to the article receptacle 10 . In summary, it can be said that the adsorbent 16 has flexibility that allows it to be deformed in accordance with at least one of the deformation of the wall W and the surface shape.

In order to give flexibility to the attracting body 16, the magnet 17 of the present embodiment is constructed using a rubber magnet in which magnet powder of a hard magnetic material such as a ferrite magnet or neodymium is blended with a rubber base material. When the article receiver 10 is used in a wet environment such as a bathroom, the magnet 17 is preferably a rubber magnet that uses rust-resistant ferrite magnet as the magnetic powder, or a rubber magnet that has undergone an antirust treatment.

The soft material 18 of this embodiment has a sheet shape. A soft material 18 is attached to each of the main body 14 and the adsorbent 16 . In this embodiment, the soft material 18 is attached to the front surface of the adsorbent 16 and the soft material 18 is attached to the back surface of the main body 14 . As a result, the soft material 18 allows the main body 14 to be supported by the adsorbent 16 . The main body 14 will be supported by the wall W via the soft material 18 and the adsorbent 16 .

The mode of attachment of the soft material 18 to the main body 14 and the adsorbent 16 is not particularly limited. The soft material 18 of this embodiment is attached to the main body 14 and the adsorbent 16 using the attaching material 32 . A specific example of the adhesive material 32 is not particularly limited. The sticking material 32 of this embodiment is a double-sided tape. In addition, the adhesive material 32 may be, for example, an adhesive, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like. The type of adhesive is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a hot-melt adhesive. Alternatively, the soft material 18 may be attached to at least one of the main body 14 and the adsorbent 16 by integral molding such as co-extrusion molding without using the attachment material 32 . For example, by co-extrusion molding the soft material 18 made of a resin foam material described later and the magnet 17 constituting the attracting body 16, the soft material 18 is attached to the attracting body 16 (magnet 17). may be attached.

The soft material 18 may be any material as long as it has flexibility, and it does not matter whether or not it has elasticity. The soft material 18 of this embodiment is an elastic member having elasticity. The soft material 18 of this embodiment is a foam material. This foam material is, for example, polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyurethane, or the like. Alternatively, the soft material 18 may be, for example, a non-foamed rubber material.

The soft material 18 is arranged to fit within the recess 28 . The soft material 18 is housed in a hidden position by the outer peripheral wall portion 30 forming the recess 28 . The soft material 18 is arranged at a position hidden by the outer peripheral wall portion 30 of the main body 14 when viewed from at least one of the horizontal direction Y and the vertical direction Z (in this embodiment, both).

Please refer to FIG. A two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 indicates outlines of the adsorbent 16 and the soft material 18 . The adsorbent 16 of this embodiment covers more than half of the range in the left-right direction Y of the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14 viewed from the rear, and covers more than half of the range in the up-down direction Z thereof. The soft material 18 of this embodiment also covers more than half of the range in the left-right direction Y of the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14 viewed from the rear, and more than half of the range in the up-down direction Z thereof.

The operation and effects of the article receiver 10 described above will be described. Please refer to FIGS. 4A and 4B. 4A and 4B show schematic diagrams of the article hook 10 in which the adsorbent 16 is directly attached to the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14. FIG. When a heavy article 12 is received by the body 14, the back portion 22 of the body 14 deforms in the elastic region. Here, an example is shown in which the back plate portion 24 of the main body 14 is warped so that the back surface portion 22 is deformed into a concave shape facing forward away from the wall W. FIG. Due to this deformation of the main body 14 , the article receiver 10 behaves as follows according to the rigidity of the adsorbent 16 .

FIG. 4A shows a case in which the adsorbent 16 is soft enough to bend and deform according to the deformation of the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14, that is, a case in which the adsorbent 16 is flexible. In this case, when the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14 is deformed, the adsorbent 16 is flexurally deformed in accordance with the deformation of the main body 14, and a gap 40 is generated between the adsorbent 16 and the wall W. Due to this gap 40 , the attracting force of the attracting body 16 is weakened, and there is a possibility that the load bearing capacity of the article receiver 10 is lowered.

FIG. 4B shows a case in which the adsorbent 16 is hard enough not to bend and deform according to the deformation of the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14, that is, a case in which the adsorbent 16 does not have flexibility. In this case, when the rear portion 22 of the main body 14 is deformed, the adsorbent 16 cannot be deformed according to the deformation of the main body 14 . Therefore, due to the deformation of the main body 14, a large load acts on the adhered portion of the main body 14 with respect to the adsorbent 16, and the adhered portion may be partially separated (see range S). As a result, the sticking force of the main body 14 to the adsorbent 16 is weakened, and the load resistance of the article receiver 10 may be lowered.

In other words, regardless of the rigidity of the adsorbent 16, if the adsorbent 16 is directly attached to the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14, the deformation of the main body 14 may lead to a decrease in the load resistance of the article receiver 10. There is

Please refer to FIG. In this regard, the article receiver 10 of the present embodiment includes a soft material 18 attached to each of the main body 14 and the adsorbent 16 . Therefore, when the main body 14 is deformed, the soft material 18 can be deformed according to the deformation of the main body 14 while the adsorbent 16 is adhered to the wall W (details will be described later). At this time, the soft material 18 can be deformed so as to maintain the attachment location to the main body 14 before and after the deformation of the main body 14 . Accordingly, as described below, regardless of the rigidity of the adsorbent 16, even when the main body 14 is deformed, the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be maintained.

First, consider the case where the adsorbent 16 has the flexibility described above. In this case, by deforming the soft material 18 in accordance with the deformation of the main body 14, the adsorption body 16 does not need to be flexurally deformed in accordance with the deformation of the main body 14. - 特許庁Therefore, even when the main body 14 is deformed, a gap 40 (see FIG. 4A) is less likely to occur between the attracting body 16 and the wall W, and by maintaining the attracting force of the attracting body 16, the article receiver 10 can withstand the load. Loadability can be maintained.

Next, consider the case where the adsorbent 16 does not have the aforementioned flexibility. In this case, by deforming the soft material 18 according to the deformation of the main body 14, it becomes difficult for a large load to act on the adhered portions of the adsorbent 16 and the main body 14 with respect to the soft member 18, and the adhered portions do not need to be separated. be able to. Therefore, even when the main body 14 is deformed, the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be maintained by maintaining the sticking force of the adsorbent 16 and the main body 14 to the soft material 18 .

In addition, when the article 12 is placed on the main body 14 with great force, an impact load may be applied to the main body 14 and the main body 14 may be greatly deformed instantaneously. Even in this case, there is an advantage that the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be maintained for the reasons described above.

In addition, when the soft material 18 is attached to the main body 14 , the soft material 18 can be deformed according to the surface shape of the main body 14 . At this time, the soft material 18 can be deformed so that its surface shape matches the surface shape of the main body 14 at the location where the soft material 18 is attached to the main body 14 . Therefore, even if the main body 14 is deformed from the intended shape when it is molded, the soft material 18 can be attached over a wide range. As a result, even if the main body 14 is deformed from the target shape during molding, it is possible to maintain the same load resistance as when the main body 14 is in the target shape that is not deformed during molding.

A portion 22a (here, an intermediate portion in the vertical direction Z) of the back portion 22 of the main body 14 is bent in the front-rear direction X when the article 12 is received by the receiving portion 20 of the main body 14. It deforms in the elastic range so as to move forward away from the adsorbent 16 . At this time, the part 22a of the main body 14 is deformed with partial tensile deformation of the soft material 18 in the direction Da.

At the same time, a downward load Fa is applied to the receiving portion 20 of the main body 14, so that a moment M around the base end portion 20a of the receiving portion 20 is generated. Due to this moment M, a portion 22b of the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14 (here, the lower end portion of the back surface portion 22) is partially compressed and deformed in the direction Db of the soft material 18 toward the adsorbent 16 side. can move toward This is also because the receiving portion 20 protrudes from the middle portion of the back plate portion 24 in the vertical direction Z. As shown in FIG. The soft material 18 of this embodiment deforms in the elastic region with partial tensile deformation and compressive deformation. At this time, the portion 22a of the main body 14 that moves toward the adsorbent 16 is a portion below the receiving portion 20 of the main body 14. As shown in FIG. As a result, the amount of tensile deformation of the soft material 18 in the direction Da corresponding to the forward deformation of the main body 14 can be reduced compared to the case where the main body 14 does not move toward the adsorbent 16 side. As a result, the sticking force of the adsorbent 16 and the main body 14 to the soft material 18 can be easily maintained, and the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be easily maintained.

The adsorbent 16 of this embodiment has flexibility so that it can be deformed according to the wall W. As shown in FIG. Therefore, as described above, when the main body 14 is deformed, the attracting body 16 does not need to be flexurally deformed according to the deformation, and the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be maintained. Other advantages include:

See FIG. 6A. FIG. 6A shows a schematic diagram of the article hanger 10 in which the flexible adsorbent 16 is directly attached to the back portion 22 of the main body 14 . Here, a case where the surface shape of the wall W is warped is shown. Similarly, a case is shown here in which the main body 14 is hard enough that the main body 14 cannot be deformed in accordance with the flexural deformation of the adsorbent 16 when it is about to be flexurally deformed. In this case, even if the attracting body 16 attempts to bend and deform, the bending deformation of the attracting body 16 is greatly restrained by the back surface portion 22 of the main body 14 . Therefore, even if the surface shape of the wall W has a curved shape such as a warp, the adsorbent 16 is less likely to bend and deform accordingly. As a result, a gap 40 is generated between the adsorbent 16 and the wall W due to the surface shape of the wall W, and the adsorption force of the adsorbent 16 is weakened.

See FIG. 6B. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, the main body 14 and the adsorbent 16 are provided with the soft material 18 that is attached to each of them, so that the soft material 18 can be deformed together with the adsorbent 16 in accordance with the wall W. At this time, the adsorbent 16 is deformed according to the wall W, and the soft material 18 is deformed according to the deformation of the adsorbent 16 so as to maintain the sticking position on the adsorbent 16 . Therefore, when the adsorbent 16 is about to be flexurally deformed, the soft material 18 deforms in accordance with the flexural deformation of the adsorbent 16 , so that the flexural deformation of the adsorbent 16 is less likely to be restrained by the main body 14 . Here, a state is shown in which part of the soft material 18 is partially tensile-deformed in the direction Dc according to the bending deformation of the adsorbent 16 . Therefore, when the surface shape of the wall W has a curved shape such as a warp, the attracting body 16 is easily flexibly deformed accordingly. As a result, due to the surface shape of the wall W, the gap 40 (see FIG. 6A) is less likely to occur between the adsorbent 16 and the wall W, and the adsorption force of the adsorbent 16 can be maintained. As a result, the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be easily maintained.

In addition, when a hand or the like is vigorously applied to the wall W, an impact load is input to the wall W, and the wall W can be deformed so as to warp instantaneously. Even in this case, the soft material 18 can be deformed together with the adsorbent 16 in accordance with the wall W. Therefore, for the same reason as described above, there is also the advantage that the load resistance of the article receiver 10 can be maintained.

Soft material 18 is a foam material. Therefore, the soft material 18 can be realized at low cost.

The soft material 18 is arranged to fit within the recess 28 . Therefore, when viewed from one of the left-right direction Y and the up-down direction Z, the soft material 18 is exposed to the outside and cannot be seen, and a good design property can be obtained.

Other features of the article receptacle 10 will now be described. Please refer to FIG. The body 14 is arranged at a position spaced from the wall W by a gap 42 . This condition is met at least when the article 12 is not received by the body 14 . In addition, this condition is that the main body 14 receives a predetermined allowable withstand load in the article receiver 10, and as described above with reference to FIG. is also satisfied. As a result, even when part of the main body 14 approaches the wall W due to the deformation of the soft material 18, the main body 14 does not come into contact with the wall W and the wall W is less likely to be damaged.

As the thickness t of the sheet-shaped soft material 18 is increased, the allowable load capacity of the article receiver 10 can be increased. When the soft material 18 has an appropriate thickness t, when the main body 14 receives an allowable load corresponding to the thickness t, the soft material 18 is elastically deformed while the main body 14 is attached to the wall W by the adsorbent 16. , the main body 14 behaves downward. On the other hand, if the soft material 18 has an excessive thickness t, the adsorbent 16 will peel off from the wall W when the main body 14 receives an allowable withstand load corresponding to the thickness t. Considering this, it is preferable that the thickness t of the soft material 18 is set to a size that exhibits the former behavior when the main body 14 receives an allowable withstand load corresponding to the thickness t.

Next, modified forms of each component described so far will be described.

A specific installation position of the article receiver 10 is not particularly limited. The article receiver 10 may be installed, for example, in a washbasin, a toilet, or the like, in addition to the bathroom. The article receiver 10 may be a hook, a towel rack, or the like, other than the shelf in the embodiment. In this case, the receiving portion 20 of the article receiver 10 may receive the article by hanging the article.

The main body 14 only needs to be able to receive the article 12 and does not have to include the back plate portion 24 . A modification mode of the main body 14 is not particularly limited. For example, even if the main body 14 is deformed such that the part 22a thereof moves forward due to the warping of the back plate portion 24, the soft material 18 is partially compressed and deformed in the direction Db, and the adsorbent 16 side is deformed. You don't have to move towards

The recess 28 may not be provided in the back portion 22 of the main body 14, and the soft material 18 may be provided so as to be exposed to the outside. The body 14 may be positioned to contact the wall W. As shown in FIG.

The adsorbent 16 does not have to be flexible enough to conform to the wall W when adsorbed to the wall W.
