Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to an extensible shower attachment wherein a shower head can be extended from the body of a shower and more particularly, to a hose drain mechanism constructed to prevent water from flowing from a shower hose in an extended condition into the shower body.
- An extensible shower attachment is used in a kitchen sink or washbasin and includes a faucet body and a shower head mounted to the faucet body, the latter extending from the body to allow the user to wash dishes or hair.
- Fig. 11 shows a typical shower attachment mounted in a sink, including a faucet body 1 secured to a counter 50. A
shower head 2 is connected to the body 1 as shown in Fig. 11 and can be manually extended from the body 1. Awater pipe 3a and ahot water pipe 3b are connected to the body 1. A single lever orhandle 4 is mounted to operate a valve incorporated into the body 1. Aflexible hose 5 extends between the downstream end of the valve and theshower head 2. - A holder 1a extends obliquely upwardly from the body 1. The
shower head 2 is inserted into the holder 1a. Extraction of theshower head 2 from the holder 1a causes thehose 5 to extend from the holder 1a. Replacement of theshower head 2 into the holder 1a causes thehose 5 to move downwardly to a position as shown in Fig. 11. - When the
shower head 2 is extended from the body 1, water is likely to flow on and along thehose 5 and enter into the body 1 through the holder 1a. Also, when theshower head 2 is returned to the holder 1a after use, water droplets which are attached on thehose 5 may fall below the counter 50 or into the cabinet. - Conventionally, a drain mechanism is incorporated into the holder 1a to prevent the water droplets on the
hose 5 from entering into the body 1 or falling into the cabinet. A bushing as a drain element for removing the water from the surface of the hoses is included in the holder 1a as, for example, disclosed in Japanese unexamined utility model publication No. 62-148674. - A cylindrical bushing or other suitable means is effective to remove water from the surface of the
hose 5. Such means is made of resilient material so as to have more contact with the peripheral surface of thehose 5. This enables better drainage of thehose 5. - However, if the
hose 5 is quickly returned, the bushing or drain element is resiliently deformed in the direction in which thehose 5 is moved. This deteriorates the attachment of the drain element to thehose 5. As a result, water droplets are not fully removed from thehose 5 and may fall into the cabinet when thehose 6 is returned. - If the
hose 5 has a uniform outer diameter and thus, has no rugged surface, the drain element can always be closely contacted with thehose 5. On the other hand, if thehose 5 is in the form of a bellows, the outer diameter of thehose 5 may vary as thehose 5 is bent. The drain element can not follow such resilient deformation of thehose 5. - Such a drain element is unable to fully remove water droplets from the hose by using its resilience. It is therefore necessary to include a water tray or the like in the cabinet.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a hose drain mechanism for an extensible shower attachment which fully prevents water droplets on a hose from falling or water from flowing from a shower head into a faucet or a cabinet.
- This invention provides a shower attachment including a shower head, a holder adapted to hold the shower head so as to allow extraction of the shower head together with a hose connected thereto, and a hose drain mechanism mounted within the holder characterized in that said hose drain mechanism comprises a plurality of blocks movable to and from the axis of said hose and having sealing portions on the inner periphery thereof for sealing the outer surface of said hose, and an elastic element adapted to press said blocks toward said hose.
- The holder is provided with a cylindrical guide therein which receives the outer periphery of the proximal end portion of the shower head; the guide has a plurality of slide grooves formed in a radial direction at the proximal end surface thereof; the blocks are respectively provided with slide projections at the side end thereof, which movably engage with the slide grooves; and the blocks are movable to and from the axis of the guide along the connection between the slide projections and the slide grooves.
- The plurality of blocks can be provided with connecting seat portions at the both ends in the direction in which said blocks follow the circumferential surface of the hose; the connecting seat portions are formed so that each portion is recessed in reverse of the axial direction of the blocks; and the blocks are arranged so that the connecting seat portions of adjacent blocks overlap each other in the axial direction.
- A packing may be interposed between the plurality of blocks and the elastic element, and each block is provided with a groove at the outer periphery thereof, which runs in a circumferential direction with the packing mounted into the groove.
- The packing may be divided into a plurality of pieces which equal the number of blocks, with each of the divided pieces being arranged so that the boundary end portions of adjacent blocks may be covered.
- A coil spring which forms an annular shape corresponding to the blocks is available for the elastic element.
- The elastic element provides a mechanical force with its resilience to push the blocks toward the hose. This allows the sealing portions of the blocks to seal the peripheral surface of the hose. The blocks are radially moved in accordance with the rugged surface of the hose so as to maintain a uniform seal between the blocks and the hose. Sealing pressure is maintained by the resilience of the elastic element when the hose is moved. When the hose is roughly moved or shaken, the blocks correspond in motion to the hose to prevent water from flowing across the blocks. Accordingly, the water will not flow below the holder when the hose is extracted from and retracted to the holder.
- Because of the connecting structure where each block is slidably mounted to the guide which is accommodated in the holder, each of blocks independently moves corresponding to the rugged surface of the hose, thus allowing a stable and uniform seal along the surface of the hose. When connecting seat portions provided at the both ends of each block overlap with those on adjacent blocks, each block is relatively regulated in axial directed motion and smoothly moves corresponding to the surface of the hose without causing turbulence in the arrangement.
- When the blocks move outwardly due to the rugged surface of the hose, the boundary end portions of adjacent blocks will fall into gaps. However, as a packing is provided around the outer periphery of the blocks, the gaps are further covered by the packing to prevent the surface of the hose from being exposed.
- Further, as it is sufficient for the packing to seal only the boundary portions of adjacent blocks, the packing may be divided into plural members each of which covers the gaps between adjacent blocks when these blocks move outwardly. Since the divided packing members easily move to correspond with the deformation in the arrangement of the blocks, even though the packing is likely to regulate the circumference of the blocks, it will not interfere with the outward movement of the blocks.
- Still further, as the packing is engaged and assembled into the groove on the outer periphery of the block, the packing will not easily dislocate from its original assembled location. This permits smooth and rapid motion of the blocks without any interference or disturbance, and the resistance caused by the tightening of the blocks will be reduced when the hose is extracted for use.
- Furthermore, as a circular coil spring is available for a member of the elastic element, the attachment is simplified in structure and also in assembly.
- For a better understanding of the present invention, reference may be made to the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

- Referring now to Fig. 1 to 3, a faucet body 1 is secured, for example, on a kitchen counter, as previously described in connection with Fig. 11. A holder 1a projects from the faucet body 1 to receive an
extensible shower head 2. Ahandle 4 is mounted to the top of the faucet body 1. A valve mechanism is connected to awater pipe 3a and ahot water pipe 3b and is operated by thehandle 4 to open and close the passage. Ahose 5 is connected to the valve mechanism to feed water or a mixture of cold water and hot water to theshower head 2. Aconnecter 2a provides a connection between internal passages of theshower head 2 and thehose 5. As shown in Fig. 1, thehose 5 is in the form of a bellows and has a rugged surface. Thehose 5 has a thickness that allows it to be bent. - A
first guide 6 is mounted within the holder 1a to receive theconnecter 2a. Also, asecond guide 7 is mounted within theconnecter 2a to guide themovable hose 5. Thefirst guide 6 has an inner diameter that allows the base end of theshower head 2 and theconnecter 2a to be fit in thefirst guide 6. Thefirst guide 6 has adischarge opening 6a at its lower end. Thesecond guide 7 is spaced away from the lower end of thefirst guide 6 and has an inner diameter greater than the diameter of thehose 5. Thesecond guide 7 also has a discharge opening 7a at its lower end. Adam 7b is formed on the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of thesecond guide 7 to contact which the peripheral surface of thehose 5. The holder 1a has openings 1b and 1c which correspond in position to thedischarge openings 6a and 7a, respectively. - A
drain ring 8 is disposed between thefirst guide 6 and thesecond guide 7 to remove water from the surface of thehose 5 when theshower head 2 and thehose 5 are returned to their initial positions. As shown in Fig. 3, thedrain ring 8 includes fourblocks 9, acoil spring 10 as a resilient element, and fourpackings 11 disposed between theblocks 9 and thecoil spring 10. - Fig. 4 is a front view of the
drain ring 8 looking proximally from the distal end of the holder 1a. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the manner in which thedrain ring 8 is connected to thefirst guide 6. Fig. 6 is an exploded view of thefirst guide 6 and theblocks 9 from another perspective. - Each
block 9 is made of synthetic resin and is arcuate with a central angle of approximately 90° as shown in detail in Fig. 7. As shown in Figs. 2 and 7, eachblock 9 is tapered to provide a sealingportion 9a. The sealingportion 9a has a triangular section and is in contact with thehose 5 or theconnecter 2a. AU-shaped groove 9b is formed in the outer peripheral surface of eachblock 9 to receive the packing 11 of a U-section. Theblock 9 is provided withslidable projection 9c extending toward thefirst guide 6. As shown in Fig. 5, agroove 6b is formed in the end surface of thefirst guide 6 to receive theslidable projection 9c. Theslidable projection 9c is slidable within thegroove 6b. Theslidable projection 9c and the groove 6c are constructed like a dovetail anchor and a dovetail anchor slot and have a wedge-shaped section. Theprojection 9c is slidable radially from theblocks 9 assembled in a circular configuration, or radially from thehose 5 or the connecter 2c. - The
block 9 is provided with a pair of connectingseat portions seat portions seat portion 9e is formed to face upward, and the other connectingseat portion 9f is formed to face downward. When theadjacent blocks 9 are aligned to be joined, the connectingseat portion 9e of oneblock 9 overlaps the connectingseat portion 9f of one of theadjacent blocks 9, and the connectingseat portion 9f of thesame block 9 overlaps the connectingseat portion 9e of another one of the adjacent blocks. In this way, when theblocks 9 are totally assembled, theblocks 9 regulate each other in the axial direction thereof due to the overlapping of the pairs of connectingseat portions blocks 9 moves outwardly and inwardly in a radial direction, theblocks 9 move smoothly and rapidly with the aid of the regulating force caused by the relationship between both of the connecting seat portions. - As shown in Fig. 4, each packing 11 extends over two
adjacent blocks 9. A projection 11a extends radially from one end of the packing 11 as shown in Fig. 8. Arecess 9d is formed in the outer peripheral surface of theslidable projection 9c to receive the projection 11a. As theslidable projection 9c has a substantially central location in the circumferential direction of theblock 9 as shown in Fig. 7A, the end of the packing 11 where theprojection 11 is formed is also located centrally in the circumferential direction of theblock 9. As shown in Fig. 4, theblocks 9 and thepackings 11 are assembled when the projections 11a are fit in therecesses 9d as shown in Fig. 9. - The
coil spring 10 extends around thepackings 11 to join theblocks 9 and thepackings 11 together. Fig. 10 is a plan view of thecoil spring 10 in assembly. With thecoil spring 10 placed around theblocks 9, theblocks 9 are moved radially outward against the action of thecoil spring 10 when outward force is applied to theseal portions 9a of theblocks 9. When the force is removed, allowing the return of thecoil spring 10, theblocks 9 are moved back to the original position (Fig. 3). Although a space is formed betweenadjacent blocks 9 when theblocks 9 are opened, thepackings 11 still extend over the adjacent blocks to close the space. Theblocks 9 and thepackings 11 thus cooperate to seal thehose 5. - Water can be fed from the
shower head 2 while theshower head 2 remains attached to the faucet body 1 with theconnecter 2a fit into thefirst guide 6. At this time, the sealingportion 9a of eachblock 9 is in contact with the peripheral surface of the lower end of theconnecter 2a. - When the
shower head 2 is extracted, eachblock 9 is moved to and from thehose 5 in accordance with the step between theconnecter 2a and thehose 5 and the rugged surface of thehose 5, while the sealingportions 9a are pressed against thehose 5 by the influence of thecoil spring 10. This radial movement of eachblock 9 promotes smooth extraction of thehose 5. - When the
shower head 2 is in use, water tends to gradually flow from thehose 5 into the holder 1a. However, the sealingportions 9a of theblocks 9 of thedrain ring 9 are contacted with and forced against the peripheral surface of thehose 5 by the resilience of thecoil spring 10. This allows theblocks 9 to prevent the water from entering into the holder 1a. This water is then discharged through thedischarge opening 6a of thefirst guide 6 and the opening 1b of the holder 1a. Even if the water flows from thehose 5 to thesecond guide 7 through theblocks 9, the water is stopped by thedam 7b formed on the lower end of thesecond guide 7. The water is then discharged from the holder 1a through the discharge opening 7a and the opening 1c of the holder 1a. - The
drain ring 8 is thus constructed to stop water which flows on and along thehose 5 when theshower head 2 is in use. If the water flows across theblocks 9 and enters into thesecond guide 7, thedam 7b prevents the water from flowing downstream of thesecond guide 7. This arrangement assures stoppage of even a large amount of water which is fed from theshower head 2 and flows on and along thehose 5. Thus, a kitchen cabinet or the like is prevented from becoming wet. - When the
shower head 2 is returned to the holder 1a, thehose 5 is moved through thedrain ring 8 into the faucet body 1. At this time, eachblock 9 of thedrain ring 8 moves in a radial direction in accordance with the rugged surface of thehose 5 so as to bring the sealingportions 9a into contact with the peripheral surface of thehose 5. Thus, if thehose 5 has a rugged surface such as a bellows-shaped pipe, water can be removed from the surface of thehose 5 and discharged through thedischarge opening 6a and the opening 1b rather than entering into the faucet body 1. Also, even if water is not completely removed due to rapid movement of thehose 5, thedam 7b of thesecond guide 7 prevents the water from entering into the faucet body 1, the water being discharged through the discharge opening 7a and the opening 1c. - The four
blocks 9 of thedrain ring 8 are pressed radially inward by the resilience of thecoil spring 10 so as to maintain a uniform sealing pressure between thedrain ring 8, thehose 5, and theconnecter 2a. This arrangement can remove water from thehose 5 by high sealing pressure, preventing water from entering into the faucet body 1 or kitchen cabinet during rapid movement of thehose 5 more effectively than those systems with resilient means such as a packing. - In the illustrated embodiment, the holder 1a is integrated into the faucet body 1. Alternately, the holder may be directly attached to the kitchen counter above the cabinet. Also, a leaf spring may be used as a resilient element, in lieu of the
coil spring 10, to press eachblock 9 toward thehose 5. - The advantages of the invention are as follows. The resilient element extends around a plurality of blocks, and the sealing portions of the blocks are sealed against the hose by the resilience of the resilient element. Conventionally, a packing as a resilient element is contacted with a hose. In such a case, however, the packing is deformed when the hose is rapidly moved. This results in a decrease in sealing pressure. By contrast, the present invention provides a uniform seal between the hose and the drain ring so as to completely remove water from the hose. Accordingly, if a large amount of water flows on the hose, or the hose is frequently used, the water in no way enters into the cabinet or the like. This eliminates the need for a water tray and like items.
- The blocks are radially moved by the resilience of the resilient element. This arrangement provides a seal between the blocks and the hose, even if the hose has a rugged surface such as a bellows-shaped pipe. Thus, the invention has a wide application.
