FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a bathroom according to an embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom 2 includes a shower bar device 10, a wall panel 11, a washstand counter 12, a faucet device 13, a shower head 14, and a mirror 15. Although not shown in FIG. 1 for convenience, the bathroom 2 further includes, for example, a washing area floor, a bathtub, and a ceiling panel.

The wall panel 11 has a wall surface 11a. The wall panel 11 is installed in the bathroom 2 with the wall surface 11a standing up substantially vertically from the end of the washing area floor. Thereby, the wall panel 11 forms the wall surface of the bathroom 2. In other words, the wall surface 11a is the wall surface of the bathroom 2.

Further, the bathroom 2 has, for example, a plurality of wall panels, and a rectangular space is formed by the plurality of wall panels. The wall panel 11 is, for example, a wall panel installed adjacent to the bathtub among the plurality of wall panels of the bathroom 2.

The shower bar device 10 includes a shower bar 20 and a shower hook 22. The shower bar 20 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11 while extending in the vertical direction. The shower hook 22 has a holding part 30 that removably holds the shower head 14, and is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

The shower bar device 10 makes it possible to adjust the vertical position of the shower head 14 held by the holding part 30 by making the shower hook 22 vertically slidable.

Therefore, in the shower bar device 10, for example, by adjusting the vertical position of the shower hook 22, the user can bathe in water discharged from the shower head 14 at an appropriate position corresponding to the user's physique. In addition, in this specification, "water" shall also include heated "hot water."

In addition, the shower bar device 10 allows the shower hook 22 to be slid in the vertical direction, so that the water can be discharged from the shower head 14 even when the user stands up or sits on a chair placed on the washing area floor. Make sure they have access to adequate water.

Furthermore, the shower bar device 10 allows the shower bar 20 to be used as a handrail. Thereby, for example, when standing up from a state of sitting on a chair or the like, it is possible to make it easier to stand up by grasping the shower bar 20. Alternatively, by grasping the shower bar 20 when moving between the bathtub and the washing area floor, the user can easily move between the bathtub and the washing area floor. In this manner, in the shower bar device 10, the shower bar 20 can be used as a handrail, thereby assisting the user in standing up, moving, and other movements.

The distance D1 from the lower end of the shower bar 20 to the washing area floor is, for example, 80 cm or less. This allows the user to easily grasp the shower bar 20 even when seated on a chair or the like. Moreover, the distance D1 from the lower end of the shower bar 20 to the floor surface of the washing area floor is, for example, 60 cm or more. This can prevent the lower end of the shower bar 20 from hitting the user's feet and getting in the way.

The length L1 of the shower bar 20 in the vertical direction is, for example, 90 cm or more and 120 cm or less. The height to the ceiling of the bathroom 2 is approximately 2 m. Therefore, by setting the length L1 as described above, the shower bar device 10 can be applied to various types of bathrooms 2, and the shower hook 22 can be placed at an appropriate height.

The washstand counter 12 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11 below the shower bar device 10. The washstand counter 12 has an upper surface 12a. The upper surface 12a of the washstand counter 12 extends in the left-right direction and the front-back direction, and allows articles such as a washbowl and shampoo bottles to be placed thereon.

The shower bar device 10 is arranged, for example, within the width of the washstand counter 12 in the left-right direction. In other words, the washstand counter 12 is arranged at a position overlapping the shower bar device 10 in the vertical direction. In this case, the lower end of the shower bar device 10 (the lower end of the shower bar 20) may be attached to the washstand counter 12. However, the washstand counter 12 may be placed at a position shifted from the shower bar device 10 in the left-right direction. The washstand counter 12 only needs to have at least the upper surface 12a located below the lower end of the shower bar device 10.

The faucet device 13 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11 above the washstand counter 12. The faucet device 13 has a water discharge part 13a that discharges water downward. The faucet device 13 is arranged within the width of the washstand counter 12 in the left and right direction. The faucet device 13, for example, discharges water from a water spouting portion 13a toward the upper surface 12a of the washstand counter 12. Thereby, water can be stored in a wash basin or the like placed on the upper surface 12a of the wash counter 12.

The shower head 14 is connected to the faucet device 13 via a hose 16. The shower head 14 includes, for example, a head main body 14a having a water sprinkling plate 14w provided with a plurality of water spouting holes, and a substantially rod-shaped handle portion 14b extending from the head main body 14a. The shower head 14 is connected to the hose 16 at the end of the handle portion 14b opposite to the head main body 14a. The handle portion 14b has, for example, a tapered shape that gradually becomes thinner from the head body 14a side toward the hose 16 side.

The faucet device 13 switches off water spouting from the water spouting part 13a and switches off water spouting from the shower head 14. Further, the faucet device 13 further has, for example, a function of adjusting the temperature of water spouted from the water spouting part 13a or the shower head 14, a function of adjusting the flow rate of water spouted from the water spouting part 13a or the shower head 14, and the like.

The faucet device 13 extends in the left-right direction and the front-back direction, and has a shelf-shaped upper surface 13b on which articles such as shampoo bottles can be placed. In this way, the faucet device 13 functions as a faucet that discharges water, and also functions as a counter on which articles can be placed. In other words, the faucet device 13 is a faucet counter. Thereby, the usability of the bathroom 2 can be improved. However, the faucet device 13 does not necessarily have to have a shelf shape. The faucet device 13 may be any faucet device having at least a function of switching off water spouting from the water spouting part 13a and the shower head 14.

The shower bar device 10 is provided, for example, between the faucet device 13 and the bathtub in the left-right direction. This allows the shower bar 20 to be easily used as a handrail when moving between the bathtub and the washing area floor.

The mirror 15 is attached above the faucet device 13 with respect to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11. Further, the mirror 15 extends, for example, in the vertical direction and is attached to the wall surface 11a side by side with the shower bar device 10 in the left-right direction. Thereby, the mirror 15 allows the user to check his or her appearance whether the user is sitting in front of the faucet device 13 or standing and bathing in water discharged from the shower head 14. Note that the mirror 15 may be provided in the bathroom 2 if necessary and may be omitted.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the shower hook according to the embodiment.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are cross-sectional views schematically showing the shower hook according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3(a), and 3(b), the shower hook 22 of the shower bar device 10 has a holding portion 30 that removably holds the shower head 14, and a hook body 32. , a mounting portion 34, and a locking mechanism 36.

The hook body 32 extends horizontally. In other words, the hook body 32 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the shower bar 20 extends. Note that the direction in which the hook body 32 extends is not strictly limited to the horizontal direction. The direction in which the hook body 32 extends may have at least a component extending in the horizontal direction.

The holding portion 30 is provided on one end side of the hook body 32. The holding portion 30 is, for example, a substantially U-shaped member having a recess 30a that corresponds to the shape of the handle portion 14b of the shower head 14. The holding portion 30 removably holds the shower head 14 by inserting the tapered handle portion 14b of the shower head 14 into the recess 30a from above and engaging the handle portion 14b with the recess 30a.

The hook body 32 supports the holding part 30 rotatably around the horizontal direction. The hook body 32 also includes a latch mechanism 38 for holding the holding portion 30 at a predetermined rotation angle. Thereby, the angle of the shower head 14 centered on the horizontal direction can be adjusted. For example, it is possible to adjust the shower head 14 to discharge water downward or slightly forward.

The latch mechanism 38 includes, for example, a plunger 38a and a coil spring 38b. The plunger 38a is provided inside the hook body 32 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The coil spring 38b urges the plunger 38a forward.

The holding part 30 has a plurality of grooves 30b on the back side for adjusting the rotation angle. The plunger 38a is provided between the holding part 30 and the coil spring 38b, and is pressed against the holding part 30 by the biasing force of the coil spring 38b, thereby engaging one of the plurality of grooves 30b provided on the back side of the holding part 30. match.

In this manner, the rotation angle of the holding portion 30 is maintained by the engagement between the groove portion 30b and the plunger 38a. Then, by applying force to the holding part 30, rotating the holding part 30 against the biasing force of the coil spring 38b, and engaging the plunger 38a with another groove part 30b, the rotation angle of the holding part 30 is adjusted. I can do it. In other words, the water spouting angle of the shower head 14 can be adjusted.

Note that the configuration of the latch mechanism 38 is not limited to the above configuration. The structure of the latch mechanism 38 may be any structure capable of holding the holding part 30 at a predetermined rotation angle.

The attachment portion 34 is used for attachment to the shower bar 20. The shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 via the attachment part 34. The attachment portion 34 is provided, for example, on the other end side of the hook body 32 (on the side opposite to the holding portion 30). The attachment portion 34 has a through-hole shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the shower bar 20, for example. The shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 by inserting the shower bar 20 into the attachment portion 34. The shape of the attachment portion 34 is not limited to the shape of a through hole, and may be, for example, a groove shape. The shape of the attachment portion 34 may be any shape that allows attachment of the shower hook 22 to the shower bar 20.

The locking mechanism 36 is a mechanism for holding the shower hook 22 at an arbitrary position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20. The lock mechanism 36 includes, for example, a movable part 40 and a coil spring 42.

The movable part 40 is supported by the hook body 32 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. Thereby, the movable part 40 moves between the initial position shown in FIG. 3(a) and the pressed position shown in FIG. 3(b). The pressed position is a position pushed downward from the initial position.

The coil spring 42 urges the movable portion 40 upward. The movable portion 40 is biased by the coil spring 42 and engaged with the hook body 32, thereby being held at the initial position.

The movable part 40 has an operation part 40a. The operating portion 40a projects upward from the hook body 32 while the movable portion 40 is held at the initial position. The movable part 40 moves from the initial position to the pressed position by pressing the operating part 40a and pushing it downward against the biasing force of the coil spring 42.

Further, in the initial position, the movable part 40 partially enters into the mounting part 34 and comes into contact with the shower bar 20 inserted through the mounting part 34 . The movable part 40 presses the shower bar 20 by the biasing force of the coil spring 42 and sandwiches the shower bar 20 together with the mounting part 34 . As a result, when the movable part 40 is in the initial position, the shower hook 22 is held at a predetermined position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20 due to the frictional force caused by the pressure of the shower bar 20.

The movable part 40 has an elastic body 44, for example. The elastic body 44 is made of, for example, rubber. The coefficient of friction of the elastic body 44 is larger than the coefficient of friction of the main body portion of the movable portion 40 made of a hard resin material such as plastic. The movable part 40 causes the elastic body 44 to come into contact with the shower bar 20 by entering the elastic body 44 into the attachment part 34 in the initial position. Thereby, the frictional force generated between the movable part 40 and the shower bar 20 can be increased, and the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be held more reliably.

When the movable part 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, it moves downward and in a direction away from the attachment part 34 . The movable part 40 moves in a direction away from the mounting part 34 by sliding obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the mounting part 34, for example.

When the movable part 40 moves from the initial position to the pressed position, it retreats from the attachment part 34. When the movable part 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, it retracts the elastic body 44 from the attachment part 34. As a result, when the movable part 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, it releases the state in which the shower bar 20 is sandwiched between the movable part 40 and the mounting part 34 . Therefore, when the movable part 40 is moved to the pressing position, the shower hook 22 can be moved vertically along the shower bar 20.

In this manner, in the shower hook 22, the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be adjusted by gripping the hook body 32 and pressing the operating portion 40a to move the movable portion 40 to the pressed position. Then, by releasing the pressure on the operating part 40a and moving the movable part 40 to the initial position, the shower hook 22 can be held at the adjusted position. Thereby, the shower hook 22 can be placed at any position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20. Therefore, in the shower bar device 10, the shower head 14 can be placed at a height desired by the user.

Note that the configuration of the locking mechanism 36 is not limited to the above, and may be any configuration that can hold the shower hook 22 at any position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20.

FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) are side views schematically showing the shower bar device according to the embodiment.
FIG. 4(a) schematically represents a state in which the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20. FIG. 4(b) schematically represents a state in which the shower hook 22 is positioned at the lowest position with respect to the shower bar 20. Note that in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), illustration of the hose 16 is omitted for convenience.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the shower bar 20 includes a bar body 50, an upper support part 52, and a lower support part 54. The bar body 50 has a rod shape that extends in the vertical direction. The bar body 50 has a round bar shape, for example. The shower bar device 10 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11, for example, with the rod-shaped bar body 50 being substantially vertical when viewed from the front side.

However, the shower bar device 10 may be attached to the wall surface 11a with the bar body 50 tilted left and right when viewed from the front side. The bar body 50 only needs to be attached to the wall surface 11a in a state extending at least in the vertical direction. The angle between the extending direction of the bar body 50 and the vertical direction is, for example, 45° or less. Thereby, the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be adjusted appropriately.

The attachment portion 34 of the shower hook 22 is, for example, in the shape of a through hole with a substantially circular cross section corresponding to the bar body 50 in the shape of a round bar. Thereby, the shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable in the horizontal direction about the shower bar 20 as an axis. In the shower bar device 10, the water discharged from the shower head 14 is not limited to the front, but can also be discharged diagonally to the right or diagonally to the left by rotating the shower hook 22. Therefore, the usability of the shower bar device 10 can be further improved.

The configuration that allows the shower hook 22 to rotate around the shower bar 20 is not limited to the above, and may be any configuration. The cross-sectional shapes of the bar body 50 and the attachment portion 34 do not necessarily have to be circular.

The upper support part 52 supports the upper end of the bar body 50. One end of the upper support portion 52 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11. The upper support portion 52 extends forward from the wall surface 11a, and supports the upper end of the bar body 50 at the other end. The lower support part 54 supports the lower end of the bar body 50. One end of the lower support portion 54 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11. The lower support portion 54 extends forward from the wall surface 11a, and supports the lower end of the bar body 50 at the other end.

The bar body 50 is held apart from the wall surface 11a by the upper support part 52 and the lower support part 54. Thereby, the shower hook 22 can be attached to the bar body 50 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable in the horizontal direction about the shower bar 20, and the bar body 50 can be easily gripped as a handrail. .

The length of the lower support part 54 in the front-rear direction is longer than the length of the upper support part 52 in the front-rear direction. In other words, the amount of forward protrusion of the lower support portion 54 from the wall surface 11a is greater than the amount of forward protrusion of the upper support portion 52 from the wall surface 11a. Thereby, the upper support part 52 and the lower support part 54 support the bar body 50 such that the lower end side is located further forward than the upper end side.

By supporting the bar body 50 as described above, the shower bar 20 moves the holding portion 30 forward as the shower hook 22 moves downward. In other words, the shower hook 22 moves forward as it goes downward. In addition, in this specification, "the front" is the direction to which the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11 faces.

For example, the bar body 50 is curved so as to be convex toward the front side. Thereby, the bar main body 50 can be supported such that the lower end side is located further forward than the upper end side. Further, the lower end side of the bar body 50 is more vertical than the upper end side of the bar body 50, and the bar body 50 is curved toward the rear as it goes upward. Thereby, in the shower bar 20, as the shower hook 22 moves upward, the amount of rearward movement of the holding part 30 increases according to the unit height. That is, by curving the bar body 50 as described above, the lower side of the bar body 50 is less likely to move in the front-rear direction due to the vertical movement of the shower hook 22 than the upper side of the bar body 50. The amount of movement can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the holding portion 30 is located forward of the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20.

As described above, the shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable about the shower bar 20 as an axis. The holding part 30 is located in front of the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position and the shower hook 22 is rotated so that the holding part 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20. Located in Here, "the holding part 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20" means, in other words, a state in which the holding part 30 overlaps the shower bar 20 when viewed from the front side.

FIGS. 5A and 5B are side views schematically showing the bathroom according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5A, the holding part 30 is located behind the front end 12b of the washstand counter 12 when the shower hook 22 is located at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20. Note that in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), illustration of the hose 16 is omitted for convenience.

The holding part 30 holds the washstand counter 12 when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20 and the shower hook 22 is rotated so that the holding part 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20. It is located behind the front end 12b of.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the holding part 30 is located behind the front end 12b of the washstand counter 12 even when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the lowest position with respect to the shower bar 20. . The holding part 30 also allows the shower hook 22 to be positioned at the lowest position with respect to the shower bar 20 and when the shower hook 22 is rotated so that the holding part 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20, 12 is located rearward than the front end 12b.

When the user is sitting on a chair or the like installed in the bathroom 2, the upper body of the user is located further away from the shower bar 20 than when the user is standing up (see FIG. 5). According to the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10 according to the present embodiment, the shower bar 20 moves the holding portion 30 forward as the shower hook 22 moves downward. Therefore, when the user is seated on a chair or the like and the shower hook 22 is in the lower position, the holding part 30 that holds the shower head 14 is in the front direction compared to when the shower hook 22 is in the upper position. Move to. As a result, the shower head 14 can be brought closer to the upper body of the user who has moved backward by sitting on a chair or the like, and, as shown in FIG. By adjusting the water spouting angle, it is possible to easily apply water to the upper body of a seated user. This allows the user to comfortably bathe in water while seated.

In addition, when the shower hook 22 is in the upper position when the user stands up, the holding part 30 that holds the shower head 14 moves rearward compared to when the shower hook 22 is in the lower position. . As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 5(a), when a user stands up from a chair or the like, the shower head 14 approaches the upper body of the user who has moved forward by standing up. You can prevent it from going too far. Thereby, even when the user stands up from a state of sitting on a chair or the like, water can be easily applied to the user's upper body, and the user can comfortably bathe in water. For example, by rotating the holding part 30 and adjusting the water spouting angle of the shower head 14, water can be spouted from above the user toward the user's entire body, like an overhead shower.
