Description

DESCRIPTION

TIMED CLOSING FAUCET LOCKING DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a timed closing faucet locking device, so that the timer it incorporates for the water outlet is canceled and water can be extracted for a longer period of time.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Timed closing faucets are characterized by incorporating a button that allows water to pass through. In this way, to open the tap, press the button and the water begins to flow until the button is released. A variety of this type of taps consists of taps that incorporate a timer, so that, when pressed, the water comes out for a certain time and the water turns off by itself.

However, on many occasions, the fact of having to press the tap button, for example, to fill a water bottle, is an inconvenience, either because the user does not have enough strength, or because they need both hands to hold. the bottle, or for any other reason.

A fairly common situation is having to do motorhome refueling services in specific areas for this purpose. In these situations, in which you have to fill a tank that easily has a capacity of 100 to 120 liters, it represents a rather uncomfortable waste of time, as you need to have your hands available throughout the refilling, without the possibility of performing other tasks.

Another common situation is when in a garden that has a fountain with a timed tap for specific maneuvers you want to attach an irrigation hose and it is necessary to press the button from time to time.

However, it should be noted that these situations are not promoted as examples of wasting water or making irrational use of water.

No documents have been found that address this solution. However, a similar system, but with the opposite effect, consists of a device to save water where the objective is to close a tap that is open after a certain period of time, so that a single-lever tap can be converted into a tap. timed closing.

Document ES2755786A1 discloses a water-saving device to be attached to existing taps in homes that comprises a main body formed by a lever arm, a removable height adapter, a hollow cylinder that houses within it regulation means controlled by a axial pressure regulating screw and a return tension locking screw; a clamp to the body of the faucet, and a telescopic stem fixed to the faucet handle by means of a clamp that transfers the movements of the faucet handle to the regulation means, through a slot made in the central part of the cylindrical body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention discloses a timed closing faucet locking device comprising:

- a body that includes:

- a passage wall with a through and threaded hole, and

- a fixer, which is joined to the passage wall by two side walls, - a threaded shaft that passes through the passage wall and comprising:

- a head at the end located inside the body, and

- a key at the end located on the outside of the body.

Thus, the configuration of the body is hollow, so that the nozzle of the faucet is inserted through it to adjust the fixator in the nozzle.

To activate the water outlet, turn the key until the head contacts the tap button so that, as the fixator is pressing on the nozzle, as you continue turning the key, it will press the button to open the tap continuously. .

The head can be bowl-shaped, to house the button inside, and can also be fixed to the threaded shaft with the ability to rotate. In this way, the head does not rotate against the button, but only presses on it, avoiding wear and possible breakage of the head due to pressure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As indicated, the present invention refers to a device for blocking timed closing taps in general, also including taps that do not incorporate the timer, so that the water output is prolonged as the user decides and water can be extracted for a longer period of time.

As represented in Figure 1, the device of the invention is configured by a body (4) that includes a front wall (5) and a fixer (6). The front wall (5) includes a through and threaded hole for the passage of a threaded shaft (3) which, at the end that is located in the body (4), incorporates a head (2) and, at the other end that is Outside the body (4) it incorporates a key (1).

The turning of the key (1) by a user implies the movement of the head (2) towards or away from the fixator (6).

Figure 2 represents the device of the invention together with a timed closing tap, indicating the main parts of the tap. In this way, to activate the tap (8), you must press the button (9) so that the water comes out through the nozzle (7).

Figure 3 represents the device already assembled on the tap (8). To do this, you just have to insert the nozzle (7) through the hole in the body (4), adjust it so that the fixator (6) is pressed against the nozzle (7) and start turning the key (1) until the head (2) fits into the button (9) of the tap (8). Then, as you continue turning the key (1), there will come a time when the pressure from the head (2) on the button (9) is of such magnitude that it causes the water to escape.

Claims (3)

1. Timed closing faucet locking device comprising: - a body (4) comprising: - a front wall (5) with a through and threaded hole, and - a fixer (6), which is joined to the front wall (5) by two side walls, - a threaded shaft (3) that passes through the front wall (5) and comprises: - a head (2) at the end located inside the body (4), and - a key (1) at the end located on the outside of the body (4). 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the head (2) is bowl-shaped for housing the button (9) inside. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the head (2) is capable of rotation with respect to the threaded shaft (3).
