Patent Application

The present disclosure relates to a bathroom/restroom article, and in particular to a split-type footrest.
Footrests used in bathrooms/restrooms are usually fixed on the wall to facilitate users to wash or care for their calves and feet. Existing footrests are usually fixed to wall surfaces through screws, adhesives or suckers. The Chinese patent ZL202222116909.6 discloses a sucker type footrest, in which a foot-pedal is directly articulated to a pull rod of a sucker. The foot-pedal can directly operate the pull rod. However, due to the non-detachable connection between the foot-pedal and the pull rod, even the foot-pedal can also be rotated and folded, the volume occupied after folding is still large, and the cost of bulk transportation is high, which needs to be improved.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to overcome the above defect of the prior art, and provide a split-type footrest, which allows its foot-pedal to be detached from its main body, so as to reduce the cost of bulk transportation.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure uses the following technical solution: a split-type footrest, which includes a sucker, a shell and a foot-pedal. The shell is fixedly connected to the sucker. The shell is provided with at least one snapping part. The foot-pedal is correspondingly provided with a hanging arm, and the head of the hanging arm is provided with a lug. The lug is used to be inserted into the snapping part so as to form a detachable snap connection.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present disclosure is as follows: the lug is detachably snapped into the snapping part of the shell, and the shell is fixed to the sucker, so that a detachable connection between the foot-pedal and the main body is formed. During bulk transportation, the foot-pedal and the main body can be disassembled for separate transportation, thereby reducing the cost of bulk transportation, which is beneficial to reducing the sales cost of the product.
Further, there are snapping parts symmetrically provided on both sides of the shell respectively. There are two hanging arms and they are arranged on both sides of the foot-pedal respectively. Each hanging arm is provided with a lug, and each lug extends toward the other lug. The lugs are in one-to-one correspondence with the snapping parts.
Further, a front wall of the snapping part is provided with a semicircular groove, and a rear wall of the snapping part is a front shell of the sucker. The cross section of the lug is in a shape of a water drop, and the lug is divided into a circular portion and a triangular portion. When the lug is snapped into the snapping part, the outer corner of the triangular portion abuts against the front shell of the sucker and the triangular portion presses the circular portion of the lug tightly into the semicircular groove.
Further, there is an entrance for the snapping part between the upper end of the semicircular groove and the front shell of the sucker. The width of the entrance is smaller than the farthest distance from the outer corner of the triangular portion of the lug to the circular portion.
Further, the width of the entrance is equal to the diameter of the circular portion of the lug.
Further, an escape groove is provided below the snapping part. The escape groove is used to accommodate the triangular portion of the lug during the process of inserting the lug into the snapping part or removing the lug from the snapping part.
Further, the sucker is of manual air suction type.
Further, the shell is fixedly connected to the sucker through screws.
The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present disclosure. In order to understand the technical means of the present disclosure more clearly, it can be implemented in accordance with the content of the specification, and in order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easier to understand, preferred embodiments are specifically cited below, which are described in detail as follows.
In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure; and obviously, the embodiments described are merely some, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without any creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
An embodiment of the present disclosure is a split-type footrest, and its specific structure is shown in
As shown in
In other embodiments, it is possible to provide only one snapping part, and one lug of the foot-pedal is provided correspondingly, so that a larger hanging arm is required so as to provide sufficient strength.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
When the foot-pedal 30 needs to be installed, as shown in
In the present disclosure, the lugs 32 are detachably snapped into the snapping parts 21 of the shell 20, and the shell 20 is fixed to the sucker 10, so that a detachable connection between the foot-pedal 30 and the main body is formed. During bulk transportation, the foot-pedal 30 and the main body can be disassembled for separate transportation, thereby reducing the cost of bulk transportation, which is beneficial to reducing the sales cost of the product.
In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms “center”, “longitudinal”, “transverse”, “length”, “width”, “thickness”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inside”, “outside”, “clockwise”, “counterclockwise” and the like is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is merely for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and for the simplification of the description, and not to indicate or imply that the means or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms shall not be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure.
In the present disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may include situations where the first feature and the second feature are in direct contact, and the first feature and the second feature are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being “on”, “above” or “over” a second feature includes situations where the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the horizontal level of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. A first feature being “under”, “below”, and “beneath” a second feature includes situations where the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the horizontal level of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.
In the description of this specification, descriptions with reference to terms “one embodiment”, “some embodiments”, “an example”, “a specific example”, or “some examples” etc., mean specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment(s) or example(s) are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above-mentioned terms should not be constructed as necessarily referring to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the described specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification.
The above only uses embodiments to further illustrate the technical content of the present disclosure, so as to make it easier for readers to understand, but it does not mean that the implementation of the present disclosure is limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made in accordance with the present disclosure is all protected by the present disclosure.
