The pedestal 1 is formed in a rectangular frame shape so as to cover a mounting hole C opened in the front-rear direction of the wall surface B from the front, and the vertical portion 2 on the front surface is spaced apart at the left, right, upper and lower ends, respectively. The through holes 3 through which the male screw portions 10 of the bolts 9 screwed or inserted into the fasteners 12 to be inserted are inserted in the horizontal direction to be drilled, and the outer periphery of the left and right sides communicates with the screw holes of the faucet body A. Screw holes 4 into which screws 7 are screwed are formed from the sides, and projecting portions 5 project rearward from both left and right ends of the bottom portion. The projecting portions 5 fit up and down with respect to the periphery of the mounting hole C of the wall B. A supporting groove 5a for preventing falling is formed, and a through hole 6 through which a water supply pipe 8 and a hot water supply pipe are inserted is opened at the center.

The bolt 9 screws the male screw portion 10 into a screw hole 14 of a fastener 12 to be described later or inserts it into a guide hole 16.
The pair of fasteners 12 are held by the pedestal 1 by inserting the tips into the insertion holes 3 of the pedestal 1 and screwing the nuts 11 to the male screw portions 10 from the front side of the pedestal 1.

A pair of the fasteners 12 are provided so as to face each other on the left and right sides of the pedestal 1 and to be mounted in an upside-down direction, and include a plate-shaped vertically elongated shaft portion 13 and an arc-shaped curved portion 15. The fasteners 12 are sized and shaped so that they can be arranged side by side and pass through the mounting hole C of the wall surface B at the same time, and the male screw portion 10 of the bolt 9 is screwed into the screw hole 14 formed at the tip of the shaft portion 13. The male screw portion 10 of the other bolt 9 fixed at one position and attached to the bending portion 15 at a position perpendicular to the bolt 9 at an interval is movably inserted,
A guide hole 16 in which a head 10a formed larger in diameter than the male screw portion 10 is locked from the back side is opened in an arc shape. When the bolt 9 screwed into the screw hole 14 of the fastener 12 is rotated by the nut 11 from the front of the base 1,
The fastener 12 is opposed to the periphery of the mounting hole C from the back side of the wall surface B, and can restrict the amount of rotation of the fastener 12 so that the fastener 12 can be stopped at a position where the periphery of the mounting hole C can be always clamped.

Accordingly, when the mounting member D is mounted on the wall surface B from the front, the fasteners 12 screwed to the bolts 9 can be positioned inside the mounting holes C, so that they can be inserted into the mounting holes C. Then, when the nut 11 screwed to the bolt 9 is operated in the tightening direction in front of the pedestal 1, the fastener 1
Reference numeral 2 rotates together with the bolt 9 so as to face the periphery of the mounting hole C so as to hit back and forth, so that the wall surface B can be pinched from the back side.

In the present invention, in order to attach the faucet main body A to a wall B such as a sink, a sink, a bathroom, etc., first, an attaching member D
From the front of the wall B into the mounting hole C. That is, the fastener 12 of the mounting member D and the male screw portion 10 of the bolt 9 shown in FIG.
Is inserted into the mounting hole C, and the supporting groove 5a is fitted to the lower peripheral edge of the mounting hole C so that the mounting member D does not fall off the wall surface B. At this time, the fastener 12 is previously rotated inward from the mounting hole C so that it can pass through the mounting hole C. Subsequently, when the nut 11 screwed to the bolt 9 is operated in the tightening direction with a tool on the left side of the pedestal 1 only on the upper side and on the right side only on the lower side, the fastener 12 rotates together with the bolt 9 in the same direction. When the inner peripheral edge of the fastener abuts on the male thread portion 10 of the bolt 9 inserted into the guide hole 16, the fastener 1
2 stops rotation, but at this time, the shaft portion 13 and the curved portion 15 of the fastener 12 face the periphery of the mounting hole C of the wall surface B back and forth.

Next, when the left and right nuts 11 are simultaneously operated to tighten the bolts 9 up and down, respectively,
While approaching the peripheral edge of the mounting hole C and approaching the wall B together with the bolt 9 screwed into the screw hole 14 from the back side without rotating without rotating, the mounting member D includes the pedestal 1 and the fastener 12 as shown in FIGS. The wall B can be sandwiched between the two.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the rear part of the faucet main body A is fitted from the front of the pedestal 1, and the water supply pipe 8 and the hot water supply pipe are inserted into the mounting hole C, and both the screw holes 4 of the pedestal 1 and the faucet are inserted. The faucet main body A can be connected to the mounting member D by screwing the screws 7 from both right and left sides with a tool, with the screw holes of the main body A facing each other and aligned. In this way, the faucet main body A and the mounting member D can be mounted only from the front of the wall surface B.

FIGS. 6 to 8 show another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the mounting member D1 and the faucet main body A1 are integrally combined in advance, and the faucet main body A1 is mounted on the wall surface B.

That is, the pedestal 1 connected to the lower part of the faucet body A1
a holding the same fasteners 12 as in the previous embodiment,
The bolt 9a is inserted into each of the four insertion holes 3a formed in the horizontal direction, and the nut 11 screwed to the bolt 9a from the front of the pedestal 1a is operated in a tightening direction by a tool, so that the faucet main body A1 is mounted on the wall B. Can be fixed.

[0020]

According to the present invention, when the mounting member for fixing the faucet main body is mounted in the mounting hole of the wall where the upright is provided, if the bolt is operated in the tightening direction from the front of the wall, the fastener on the rear side of the wall rotates. Then, the fastener can move forward toward the wall surface to pinch the wall surface with the pedestal. Therefore, there is no need to screw the screw to the wall surface when fixing the mounting member to the wall surface as in the conventional case, and there is no crack or crack on the wall surface. It can be securely mounted on the wall.

According to the second aspect, the pedestal is formed with a support groove for preventing the fitting from being fitted to the lower peripheral edge of the mounting hole, so that the mounting member does not easily fall off the wall when the mounting member is mounted on the wall.

Further, the fastener has a vertically long shaft portion integrally fixed with the bolt and a curved portion having an arcuate guide hole, and the amount of rotation of the fastener is limited by inserting the bolt into the guide hole.
Since the wall faces the periphery of the mounting hole, the wall can be securely clamped between the fastener and the pedestal.
