DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mixing faucet with a hand shower used by being attached to a sink or a vanity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 10-280500 discloses a mixing faucet which is attached to a sink or a vanity stand and used to draw a hand shower from a faucet body together with a hose so that water can be discharged over a wide range. 1 (FIG. 3 of the present application). The mixing faucet with a hand shower 23 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.
4, a base 25 is attached to a side surface of a wall plate 22 erected vertically from the back of the counter 21 of the sink 20. The faucet main body 24 is operated by a single lever 27 to control the temperature and flow rate of hot and cold water. And a holder 28 rotatably fitted on the outer periphery of the hose. A hose 29 connected to the mixing valve 26 for supplying hot water is inserted through the holder 28, The hand shower 30 attached to the holder 28 is supported at the tip of the holder 28 so as to be freely drawn out.

The above-mentioned mixing faucet with a hand shower can be used by pulling out the hand shower from a holder as compared with a mixing faucet provided with a normal water discharging pipe, so that a water discharging range can be widened and washing is performed. The base of the faucet body is attached to the side of the wall plate that stands vertically from the back of the counter, so the top of the counter is easy to clean, and the space for placing articles is large and effective. However, if the hand shower is pulled out of the holder together with the hose and used, water splattered toward the faucet body adheres to the upper surface of the base, and the base is horizontal because the upper surface is horizontal. The water did not drop naturally, and if left standing in a horizontal plane, water stains were generated, which was unsanitary.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a mixing faucet with a hand shower attached to a vertically standing wall plate of a sink or a vanity stand, wherein the faucet main body is formed by adhering water droplets. It is to keep it clean and sanitary.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention,
The faucet main body is integrally formed with a base portion attached to the side of a wall plate erected from the back of the sink or the vanity stand, and a body portion erected from the base portion, and rotatably attached to the body portion. In a mixing faucet with a hand shower in which a hose for supplying hot and cold water is inserted into the fitted holder and a hand shower connected to the end of the hose is freely drawn out of the holder, the base of the faucet main body has an upper surface facing forward. It is an inclined surface that descends toward.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the body portion of the faucet body is formed perpendicular to the inclined surface of the base portion, and a lever for adjusting the temperature and flow rate of hot and cold water is attached to the upper end.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, a sink 3 is formed on a counter 2 of a sink 1, and a wall plate 4 is erected substantially vertically on the counter 2 behind the sink 3, and a side surface of the wall plate 4 is provided. Is equipped with a mixing faucet 5 with a hand shower of the present invention.

The mixing faucet 5 with a hand shower has a base 7 formed below the faucet main body 6, and a vertical surface 8 of the base 7.
Is attached to the wall plate 4 so as to face the side surface of the wall plate 4, and the upper surface of the base portion 7 forms an inclined surface 9 which is substantially rectangular and is inclined downward toward the front. A cylindrical body 10 is formed integrally in the vertical direction.
As described above, since the upper surface of the base portion 7 is the inclined surface 9, water drops sprinkling on the faucet body 6 are smoothly dropped along the inclined surface 9 of the base portion 7 and flow down to the sink 3. The generation of scale can be prevented, and the mixing faucet body 6 can be maintained in a clean state.

A mixing valve 11 in which a fixed plate and a movable plate are vertically overlapped is mounted inside the body portion 10, and a lever 12 connected to the mixing valve 11 at an upper portion thereof is rotated in the left-right direction and up and down. The temperature and flow rate of hot and cold water are adjusted by the operation. Since the body 10 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface 9 of the base 7, the body 10 is inclined forward toward the user, and the mixing faucet 5 with a hand shower is used from the front of the sink 1. For the user to operate the lever 12 easily.

A holder 13 for supporting a hand shower 15 so as to be able to be pulled out is fitted around the outer periphery of the body 10 so as to be rotatable in a substantially horizontal direction. A hose 14 is connected to a base end of the hand shower 15. The hose 14 passes through the holder 13 and the base 7, hangs down inside the wall plate 4, and has the other end connected to the mixing valve 11. The hand shower 15 is supported by the holder 13 or Pull out with the hose 14 from the holder 13 and use it.
By operating the nozzle 2 in the water discharge direction, hot water can be discharged from the water discharge head 16 at the tip of the hand shower 15 to a wide area of the sink 3.

In the above configuration, by operating the lever 12 of the mixing faucet 5 with the hand shower in the water discharging direction from the water stop position, the hot and cold water whose temperature and flow rate have been adjusted by the mixing valve 11 of the faucet main body 6 is supplied to the hose 14. Is discharged from the hand shower 15 supported by the holder 13 toward the sink 3. If the hand shower 15 is held in hand and pulled out of the holder 13 together with the hose 14, hot water can be spouted over a wide area of the sink 3 to perform washing and the like. The water drops that fall on 7
It flows down smoothly into the sink 3 along the inclined surface 9.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the water faucet main body is formed integrally with a base portion attached to the side of a wall plate erected from the back of a sink or a vanity stand, and a body portion erected from the base portion. And a mixing faucet with a hand shower in which a hose for supplying hot water is inserted into a holder rotatably fitted to the body portion and a hand shower connected to the end of the hose is supported by the holder so as to be able to be pulled out. The base of the main unit has an inclined surface that slopes downward with the upper surface facing forward, so that when the hand shower is pulled out from the holder and used, the water droplets splashing on the faucet main unit follow the inclined surface of the base. The water can smoothly flow down to prevent the generation of water scale, and the faucet body can be always maintained in a clean state.

The body portion of the faucet body is formed perpendicular to the inclined surface of the base portion, and a lever for adjusting the temperature and flow rate of hot water is attached to the upper end, so that the lever can be easily used by the user. Operability can be improved.
