Title: Hanger holder for use in bathroom

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates generally to a holder, and more particularly to a holder for a hanger. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     As shown in FIG. 1, a prior art hanger holder  10  is made integrally and is therefore rather monotonous in design. In addition, the prior art hanger  10  can not be electroplated in different colors. The aesthetic effect of the prior art hanger holder  10  is thus compromised. 
     As shown in FIG. 2, another prior art hanger holder comprises a base  101  and an arm  102  which is made separately. The base  101  and the arm  102  can be electroplated in different colors. The arm  102  is fastened to the base  101  by a screw  103 . In light of the metal fatigue of the screw  103 , the arm  102  is apt to loosen after a prolonged use of the hanger holder. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a hanger holder which is free from the deficiencies of the prior art hanger holders described above. 
     In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a hanger holder comprising a base, a connection seat, and a holding member, which are made separately and electroplated in different colors. 
     The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     As shown in FIGS. 3-6, a hanger holder of the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a base  20 , a locating seat  23 , a connection seat  24 , and a holding member  25 . 
     The base  20  is fastened to a bathroom wall by a plurality of screws  21  and is provided in the outer surface with a pillar  22  fastened there to. The pillar  22  is provided at the fastening end with a polygonal protrusion  221 , and at the free end with a retaining hole  222 . 
     The locating seat  23  is provided with a polygonal through hole  231 , and a plurality of retaining projections  232 . 
     The connection seat  24  is provided in a bottom plate  242  with a polygonal hole  241  corresponding in location and size to the polygonal through hole  231  of the locating seat  23 . The connection seat  24  is further provided in the bottom plate  242  with a plurality of retaining through holes  243  corresponding in location to the retaining projections  232 . 
     The holding member  25  is of a hollow construction and is provided with a free end having an opening. The holding member  25  is provided in the wall with a through hole. 
     In combination, the locating seat  23  is joined with the base  20  such that the pillar  22  of the base  20  juts out of the polygonal through hole  231  of the locating seat  23 . The connection scat  24  is joined with the locating seat  23  in such a manner that the pillar  22  of the base  20  juts out of the polygonal hole  241  of the base plate  242  of the connection seat  24 , and that the retaining projections  232  of the locating seat  23  are received in the retaining through holes  243  of the bottom plate  242  of the connection seat  24 . The holding member  25  is joined with the connection seat  24  such that the holding member  25  is fastened to the pillar  22  of the base  20  by a screw  26  having a tapered end  261 . The screw  26  is engaged with the retaining hole  222  of the pillar  22  via the through hole of the wall of the holding member  25 . 
     The locating seat  23 , the connection seat  24  and the holding member  25  of the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be electroplated in different colors, so as to enhance the overall aesthetic effect of the hanger holder of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. 
     The embodiment of the present invention described above is to be regarded in all respects as being merely illustrative and not restrictive. Accordingly, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without deviating from the spirit thereof. For example, the retaining hole  222  of the pillar  22  of the base  20  may be of a V-shaped construction, thereby enabling the tapered end  261  of the screw  26  to be retained in the V-shaped retaining hole  222 . The present invention is therefore to be limited only by the scope of the following appended claims.
