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 Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-280500 discloses a mixing faucet which is used by being attached to a sink or a vanity vanity so that a hand shower can be pulled out from a faucet body together with a hose to discharge water over a wide range. FIG. 1 of the publication (FIG. 6 of the present application) is available. Briefly explaining FIG. 6, the mixing faucet with a hand shower 23 forms a base 25 at the lower part of the faucet main body 24, which is attached to the side surface of the wall plate 22 vertically erected from the rear of the counter 21 of the sink 20. The faucet main body 24 has a mixing valve 26 for setting the temperature and flow rate of hot and cold water by operating a single lever 27, and a holder 28 rotatably fitted on the outer periphery. A hose 29 connected to the mixing valve 26 for supplying hot and cold water is inserted through 25, and a hand shower 30 attached to the end of the hose 29 is supported at the end of the holder 28 so as to be able to be pulled out.

[0003] The mixing faucet with a hand shower described above can be used by pulling out the hand shower from the holder as compared with a mixing faucet provided with a normal water discharging pipe, so that the 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 upright from the back of the counter, so the top of the counter is easy to clean and the space for placing articles is widened and effective. Although it can be used, if the hand shower is pulled out from 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. Does not fall naturally, and because it is blind behind the main body of the faucet, it is difficult to see, and if left standing in a horizontal plane, water stains will occur and unsanitary Was Tsu.

[0004]

An object of the present invention is to provide a mixing faucet with a hand shower attached to a wall plate erected on a sink or a vanity stand, etc., in which the faucet main body is contaminated with attached water droplets. To make it hygienic.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the faucet body is provided with a base attached to the side of a wall plate provided upright at the back of a sink or a vanity stand, and is provided upright from the front of the base. A mixed water with a hand shower in which a body is integrally formed, a hose for supplying hot water is inserted into a holder rotatably fitted to the body, and a hand shower connected to the end of the hose is freely drawn out of the holder. In the faucet, the base portion of the faucet main body has an inclined surface whose upper surface is inclined downward toward left and right ends.

[0006]

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.

[0007] The mixing faucet 5 with a hand shower has a base portion 7 formed at the lower portion of the faucet main body 6 in such a manner that the width thereof increases toward the rear, and the vertical surface 8 of the base portion 7 is formed by a wall plate. 4
Is attached to the wall plate 4 so as to face the side surface of
As shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the base 7 forms a gently arcuate inclined surface 9 which is inclined downward from the center toward both right and left ends, and a cylindrical body 10 is provided in front of the inclined surface 9.
Are formed integrally in the vertical direction. Thus, the base 7
The upper surface is an inclined surface 9, so that water droplets sprinkling on the faucet body 6 are distributed to the left and right behind the body 10 by the inclined surface 9 of the base portion 7, and are smoothly dropped and flow down to the sink 3. In addition, the generation of scale can be prevented, and the faucet body 6 can be maintained in a clean state. In this embodiment, the inclined surface is formed in an arc shape. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the inclined surface 9a has a substantially elliptical cross section as shown in FIG. The shape is not limited as long as the water droplets smoothly fall, such as the inclined surface 9b that descends linearly.

A mixing valve 11 in which a fixed plate and a movable plate are superimposed on each other is mounted inside the body portion 10, and a lever 12 connected to the mixing valve 11 at an upper portion thereof can be 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.

A holder 13 that supports 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, and 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 from the water stop position in the water discharging direction, the hot 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
The water flows smoothly to the sink 3 right and left behind the body 10 along the inclined surface 9.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the faucet main body comprises a base portion attached to the side of a wall plate provided upright at the back of a sink or a vanity stand, and a body portion provided upright from the front of the base portion. The 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 so as to be drawn out to the holder. Since the base part of the faucet main body is an inclined surface whose upper surface is inclined downward toward the left and right ends,
When the hand shower is pulled out from the holder and used, the water droplets splashing on the faucet body flow smoothly to the left and right behind the body along the slope of the base part, preventing the occurrence of scale. The faucet body can always be kept clean.
