ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a bath towel hanger with strong suction discs, particularly to one quickly installable, not harming a wall surface, having multi-use.
A known conventional bath towel hanger
10
, shown in
FIG. 1
, includes a base
11
and screws
12
and a hang rod
20
as main components. The base
11
has a plurality of holes
111
in a front sidewall to receive screws
12
therein to engage screw sleeves
121
fixed in a wall W. The base
11
further has insert holes
112
in a sloped upper sidewall to receive hang rods
20
to enable a user to hang a bath towel or common towels on the hang rods
20
.
However, the conventional bath towel hanger
10
is secured on the wall W by first boring holes W
1
to fix the screw sleeves
121
therein for screws
12
to engage the screw sleeves
121
. So installation of the conventional bath towel hanger
10
is rather complicated and inconvenient, needing a drill to bore the holes W
1
in the wall W to fix the screw sleeves
121
for the screws
12
. Consequently the wall W is harmed and if the bath towel hanger is to be relocated, the holes W
1
remain and affect the appearance of the wall W.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective of the invention is to offer a bath towel hanger base with a strong suction disc that uses the suction disc to suck on the surface of a wall to quickly install the bath towel hanger and not harm the wall surface at the same time.
The features of the invention include a base, a suction disc, and a handling rod as main components. The base has an inner hollow space, a round opening in a rear side, a through shaft slot of a rectangular shape respectively in an upper and a bottom side aligned, and a plurality of insert holes in the upper side orderly arranged for hanging rods to insert therein. The suction disc has a sucking surface in a rear side, an annular limit wall in an intermediate portion to fit with an annular edge of the opening of the base, and a pull member on a front surface extending in the hollow space of the base. The pull member has a lateral shaft slot aligned to the shaft slots of the base and vertically crossing with the same shaft slots. The handling rod has a vertical portion passing through the shaft slots of the base and the shaft slot of the pull member and secured with a fix cap fixed on a top end of the vertical portion. The suction disc is combined with the base. The vertical portion of the handling rod has an eccentric portion located at the shaft slot of the pull member and a lateral portion extending from the lower end thereof that is located outside the bottom side of the base. The lateral portion can be swayed around to rotate vertical portion to pull the suction disc outward to suck strongly on a wall or move back to loosen from the wall.
