In this manner, the joint 33 and the lever 17 are configured so as not to protrude from the wall 2 toward the front, and there is no front-out, so that the faucet 3 with a flow rate adjusting function different from the hot / water mixer tap 1 can be installed. There is no need to provide extra space.

On the other hand, the joint 51 of the water purifier water supply hose 11 has double cylinders 52 and 55 and small balls 53 arranged concentrically.
And a push rod 54 disposed on the central axis of the inner cylinder 55 so that the outer cylinder 52 can slide with respect to the inner cylinder 55 in the direction of F in the figure. Is configured. The inner cylindrical body 55 is provided with four through-holes t having an opening at the inner periphery smaller than the outer periphery, and these four holes t have a slightly larger diameter than the opening at the inner periphery. The small balls 53 are fitted. The small balls 53 are pressed inward by the outer cylindrical body 52, respectively.

When the water purifier water supply hose 11 is attached to the faucet main body 5, the cylindrical body 52 outside the joint 51 is slid in the direction of arrow F to release the pressing force on the small balls 53. Then, this is fitted into a joint 33 screwed into the water outlet 9 of the faucet body 5.

It is released.

That is, the joints 33 and 51 are constructed by the above-described structure.
It is extremely easy to attach and detach each other, and after the water supply to the water purifier 10 is completed, when the joints 33 and 51 are detached, even if the user forgets to close the lever 17 and this is a fully opened state. Also, since the valve body 44 closes the opening c of the joint 33 by the water pressure and the elastic force of the spring body 36, it is possible to prevent accidents such as water spouting from the joint 33.

Reference numerals 60a and 60b denote double doors provided on the frame 12 so as to cover the opening 4. When not in use, the opening 4 is covered with the doors 60a and 60b for good appearance. The door that covers the opening 4 may be a single-sided door or a sliding door. Further, it is possible to prevent dust and the like generated in the kitchen from entering.

When the water-stopped lever 17 is turned, for example, clockwise, the movable disk 15 rotates on the sliding surface T of the fixed disk 14 via the stopper rod 16. In this case, the notch 31 provided on the back surface of the movable disk 15 as the movable disk 15 rotates, and the fixed disk 14
The opening degree of alignment with the valve hole 30 increases, and the flow rate of water supplied to the water purifier 10 increases. On the other hand, when the lever 17 is turned counterclockwise, the flow rate of the water supply decreases, and the water stops when the back surface of the movable disk 15 closes the valve hole 30 of the fixed disk 14.

As described above, the faucet 3 having the flow rate adjusting function alone is used.
Can be used, as shown in FIG.
3. Since it is necessary to provide a branching mechanism from the faucet itself, such as a branch faucet, if the usability is poor, or if the faucet 91 is a hot-water mixing faucet, the switching state to the water supply is poor, and the hot water is mixed. The problem that water may be supplied to the water purifier 94 in the state can be solved at once.

The slide guide 81 is moved forward and backward to set the gap q of the water supply side passage X and the gap p of the hot water supply side passage W. For example, when the temperature adjusting lever 64 is rotated to the hot water side “H” to obtain the mixed water, the gap p of the hot water supply side passage W is set to be larger than the gap q of the water supply side passage X. When the temperature adjusting lever 64 is turned all the way to the water side "C" in order to obtain only cold water, a thermo valve 86 interlocked with the lever 64 mechanically closes the gap p, and the water supply side passageway. Only the gap q of X is formed, and the gap p of the hot water supply side passage W is not formed. Mixing of hot and cold water is performed in the hot and cold water mixing chamber 70 where the hot water supply side passage W and the water supply side passage X join.

Is set to be larger than the gap q of the water supply side passage X, but when the mixed water temperature rises above the set temperature, the thermoelement 82 senses temperature, the thermowax expands and pushes the piston 83, The gap q of the water supply side passage X
And the thermo valve 86 is configured to narrow the gap p of the hot water supply side passage W. Therefore, the temperature of the mixed water decreases, and the temperature can be adjusted to approximately the set temperature.

The mixed water whose temperature has been adjusted by the temperature adjusting section in this way reaches the flow rate adjusting section from the hot and cold water mixing chamber 70 through the passage 76. In this flow rate adjusting section, the movable disk 15 is rotated on the sliding surface T of the fixed disk 14 by turning the flow adjusting lever 17 in the water stopped state, for example, clockwise to increase the water supply flow rate to the washing machine 61. Can be done. Further, when the lever 17 is turned counterclockwise, the flow rate of the water supply decreases, and the water stops when the back surface of the movable disk 15 closes the valve hole 30 of the fixed disk 14.
