Abstract
A bath towel hanger base with a strong suction disc includes a base, a suction disc and a handling rod. The base and the suction disc are assembled together, with the handling rod added in the two components, to rotate the handling rod to control the suction disc to suck on or release from a wall so as to secure the base on a wall or release the base from the wall without harming the wall surface.
Claims5
A bath towel hanger base comprising:
- a base having an inner hollow space, a round opening formed in a rear side, a through shaft slot formed respectively in an upper side and a bottom side aligned with each other, said slots extending forward and rearward to form a rectangular shape, and a plurality of insert holes spaced apart equidistantly in a front edge of the upper side for hanging rods to insert therein;
- a plurality of hanging rods on the base;
- a suction disc having a flat sucking surface formed in a rear side, a limit annular wall formed in an intermediate portion to fit with an annular edge of said opening of said base, a pull member formed in a middle section of a front side to extend forward in said inner hollow space of said base, said pull member having a lateral shaft slot aligned to said two through shaft slots of said base, said pull member vertically crossing with said two shaft slots of said base;
- an L-shaped handling rod having a vertical portion passing through said two through shaft slots of said base and also through said lateral shaft holes of said pull member of said suction disc, said vertical portion fixed with a fix cap on a top end to combine said suction disc with said base, said vertical portion having an eccentric section located to pass through-said lateral shaft holes of said pull member, a lateral portion extending from a lower end of said vertical portion and located outside of the bottom side of said base, said lateral portion able to be swayed roundly to rotate such that said eccentric section of said vertical portion may move to pull said suction disc toward said inner hollow space of said base to force said strong suction disc suck on a wall or release from the wall;
- and
- a press connector member formed to extend out from said annular edge of said opening of said base, having a press flat surface formed in a rear side;
- a notch formed in said press flat surface faces said limit annular wall of said suction disc and receives said limit annular wall therein in case of said suction disc sucking on a wall so as to let said flat press surface tightly press said suction disc;
- and an engage groove formed in an opposite side of said flat press surface receives said lateral portion of said handling rod therein.
