Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a support for a mixing faucet which is convenient for hot water supply when a dishwasher is retrofitted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of a dishwasher, since hot water is used for washing, it is necessary to provide a hot water supply pipe when installing the dishwasher. Therefore, when newly constructing or remodeling a kitchen, a hot water supply pipe can be provided from the hot water supply pipe to the dishwasher side by using a branch joint. Since it becomes substantially difficult, a branch fitting is attached to a support fitting on the hot water supply side of the mixing faucet attached to the sink, and a hose is connected to the branch fitting.

This example will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 6 is a front view of the mixing faucet, FIG. 7 is a side view, and reference numeral 1 is a faucet fitting main body, 2 and 3a are knobs, 4 is a hot-water supply faucet supporting fitting main body, and 5 is a water supply side. The faucet support fitting main body, 6 is a faucet, and 7 and 8 are connecting portions between the support fitting main bodies 4 and 5 and the faucet fitting 1.

[0004] In the above-mentioned mixing faucet, when connecting a hose of a later-installed dishwasher, as shown in FIG. 8, the supporting fitting 4 and the faucet fitting 1 are once separated at connecting portions 7 and 8 and then separated therefrom. A branch fitting 9 having a hose connection port 10 is connected, and a hose 11 extended from the dishwasher is connected to the hose connection port 10 of the branch fitting 9.

[0005]

Therefore, there are the following disadvantages. 1. When the branch fitting 9 is installed, only the faucet fitting 1 is taken and the branch fitting 9 is installed. Therefore, if there is no omission in the construction, the connection part 7 between the faucet elbow and the support fitting main bodies 4, 5
8 may cause a water leak. 2. Once the faucet elbow and the support fittings 4 and 5 are once removed and re-attached, it is necessary to call for a special construction person because a material such as a seal tape and an installation method are required. 3. The faucet fitting 1 is extended forward by the length of the branch fitting 9, and the position is deteriorated, so that the working space in the sink is narrowed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a water faucet support with a dishwasher branching device which eliminates the possibility of water leakage, can be easily installed by an amateur, and does not change the position of the water faucet. That is.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in a faucet support fitting with a dishwasher branching device, a hose connection port is provided in a part of the faucet support fitting body. And a hose extending from a later-installed dishwasher can be connected to the hose connection port.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the hose connection port is a part of the faucet support fitting main body and is formed to face forward. .

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the hose connection port is a part of the main body of the faucet support fitting, and is formed in a horizontal direction.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the hose connection port is a part of the main body of the faucet support fitting, and is formed to face downward.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the first or second or third or fourth aspect of the present invention, the hose connection port when not in use is closed with a plug. is there.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the first, second, third, or fourth aspect, the hose connection port when not in use is closed with a coupler, and the tip of the hose is connected to the coupler when in use. It is characterized in that it is configured to be connected.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the first or second or third or fourth aspect of the present invention, the shape of the faucet support bracket main body is a lower horizontal portion having a connection portion with a pipe formed at the rear. A vertical portion that stands vertically from the tip of the lower horizontal portion, an upper horizontal portion that is formed horizontally from the tip of the vertical portion toward the front side, and a faucet fitting connection portion at the tip of the upper horizontal portion. By being formed, the shape viewed from the lateral direction has a crank shape.

[0014]

When the dishwasher is retrofitted, the plug is removed from the hose connection port of the support fitting body, the hose connection fitting is screwed into the fitting, and the tip of the hose extended from the dishwasher is connected to this fitting. Or, attach the hose side fitting to the coupler with one touch.

[0015]

Embodiment 1 Referring to FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b),
Examples of the present invention described in 2, 5, and 7 will be described in detail. This embodiment shows a faucet support fitting 4, and a hose connection port 1 is provided at the center of a vertical portion 4b of the faucet support fitting 4 in a frontward direction.
The hose connection port 12 is normally closed by a plug 13. In FIG. 1, 12a
Is a female screw formed in the hose connection port 12, 13a is a male screw formed in the plug 13, and 14 is a hose connection fitting.
A hose end 14b is formed on the opposite side of the mounting screw portion 14a for the hose 2 and is used to connect the hose 11 to the hose connection port 12.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which a hose 11 extended from a dishwasher (not shown) is connected to a hose connection port 12, a plug 13 is removed from the hose connection port 12, and a hose connection fitting 14 is connected to the apparatus. After that, a hose 11 extended from a dishwasher (not shown) is connected thereto. In FIG. 2, 1 is a faucet fitting main body, 2 is a knob, 6 is a faucet, and 7 is a connecting portion.

FIG. 3 shows a coupler 15 according to claim 6.
The coupler 15 has a connection screw 15a for the hose connection port 12 and a receiving port 15b for the hose-side fitting 16, so that the hose 11 can be connected with one touch. After the hose 11 is removed, the valve in the coupler 15 is automatically closed. However, the coupler 15 is a known coupler.

[0018]

Embodiment 2 This embodiment corresponds to claim 3. As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the hose connection port 12 is turned sideways at the vertical portion 4b of the faucet support fitting 4. This is an example of forming. Although the embodiment is directed outward, it may be directed inward. The closing of the hose connection port 12 and the connection means are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0019]

Embodiment 3 This embodiment corresponds to claim 4, and FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), this is an example in which the hose connection port 12 is formed downward in the faucet support fitting 4. The closing of the hose connection port 12 and the connection means are the same as in the first embodiment. Although the first, second, and third embodiments only describe the faucet support fitting 4 on the hot water supply side, the same structure is also applied to the faucet support fitting (5 in FIG. 6) on the water supply side. A water supply hose (not shown) is connected in the same manner.

[0020]

According to the present invention, a hose connection port is formed in a part of a faucet support fitting, and the hose connection port is usually closed, and when a later-installed dishwasher is installed, the hose connection port is connected. The mouth can be connected with a hose extended from the dishwasher. As a result, the following effects are obtained.

1. Since the faucet support fitting is provided with a dishwasher hose connection from the beginning, when the dishwasher is needed, it can be branched therefrom. 2. When installing a dishwasher, you can easily and quickly connect the dishwasher hose without calling a plumbing expert, and water leakage may occur later due to unfamiliarity with the connection work, etc. Disappears. 3. If it becomes unnecessary to connect the dishwasher hose later due to replacement of the dishwasher, the hole can be closed with a plug. 4. Since the flush fitting does not come forward, the usability of the sink does not deteriorate. 5. Since it is not necessary to use branching brackets as in the past,
Parts cost can be reduced.
