Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a faucet with a pedestal, and more particularly, to a faucet facility provided with a water receiver such as a sink or a basin and having an open area below the water receiver. Related to a faucet with a stand.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A water receiver such as a sink or a wash bowl is provided.
There are faucets such as a sink and a wash basin provided with an "open area" such as an open space or a storage area defined by a cabinet below the water receiver. In such a faucet installed in such a faucet facility, a water supply / hot water supply pipe routed to an open area and a connection pipe drawn out from a lower portion of the faucet with a stand are connected. In addition, a water stopcock was attached to a connection between the water supply / hot water supply pipe and the connection pipe.

[0003]

In such a faucet with a base, the water stopcock is operated when performing various maintenances, for example, replacement of a cartridge-shaped valve device built in the faucet body. . However, in a conventional faucet with a stand, a stopcock is disposed in an open area under a water receiver, and usually, various articles such as daily necessities are placed in the open area under the water receiver, or drainage is performed. Since various pipes such as pipes are routed, the operation of the water stopcock is troublesome. In addition, if a water stopcock is provided in an open area below the water receiver, the open area is restricted and the storage space is restricted.

The present invention solves the problems of the above-mentioned conventional faucet with a stand, improves the operability of the stopcock, and makes it possible to effectively utilize the open area under the water receiver. The purpose is to provide a water faucet.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems Means adopted by each of the present invention to solve the above problems will be described below. A water faucet with a stand with a water stopcock according to claim 1 of the present invention is "equipped in a water faucet facility provided with a water receiver such as a sink or a washbasin and an open area below the water receiver. A water faucet with a base, wherein the faucet is provided with a water stop faucet at a front part of the faucet facility. "

[0006] Since the stopcock is provided on the front side of the faucet facility, the stopcock can be operated from the front side of the faucet facility. Therefore, there is no need to perform operations such as digging into the lower part of the water receiver, and the stopcock operation can be facilitated. In addition, since no water stopcock is provided in the open area, the open area can be sufficiently used as a storage space or the like. In particular, since not only the space for installing the water stopcock can be omitted, but also the operation of the water stopcock is not required in the open area, the arrangement of other piping such as a drain pipe and various devices in the open area is not required. The degree of freedom can be improved, and the open area can be more effectively utilized.

In the present invention, the term "water receiver" refers to a member that receives spouting water, such as a sink or a washbasin. The “open area” refers to an area that is not occupied by specific equipment, such as an area exposed below a water receiver or an area inside a cabinet having a water receiver above.

A water faucet with a water stopcock according to a second aspect of the present invention is “the water faucet with a waterfall according to the first aspect, wherein the open area is inside a cabinet”. .

When the open area is inside the cabinet,
In particular, it is necessary to effectively utilize the open area as a storage space. When the faucet with a stand according to claim 1 is applied to a faucet facility having the interior of the cabinet as an open area, the interior of the cabinet can be widely used because a water stopcock is not provided inside the cabinet, It can be effectively used as a storage space.

A water faucet with a stand with a water stopcock according to claim 3 of the present invention comprises: a mounting base fixed to the water faucet facility;
The stand according to claim 1, further comprising: a faucet main body provided separately from the mounting base and mounted on the mounting base, wherein the mounting base includes the water stopcock. 4. Attached faucet ".

Since the faucet body is provided separately from the mounting base and the water stopcock is provided on the mounting base, maintenance such as replacing the valve device in the faucet body or replacing the faucet body is required. In such a case, maintenance can be performed by a simple operation of operating the water stopcock of the mounting base, closing the water stopcock, and removing the water faucet main body on the downstream side while the mounting base is installed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a faucet with a stand with a water stopcock, wherein the faucet is fixedly inserted into a single hole formed on a surface on which the faucet equipment is installed. The water faucet with a base according to any one of 1 to 3. "

With a faucet inserted and fixed in a single hole on the installation surface, installation work can be simplified as compared with a faucet inserted and fixed in a plurality of holes. In the present invention, since the stopcock is incorporated into the tap from the beginning, there is no need to attach the stopcock to the end of the connecting pipe extending from the tap. It can be further simplified.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a faucet with a stand with a water stopcock, wherein the water stopcock is integrally provided with at least one of a strainer and a check valve.
A water faucet with a base according to any one of (1) to (4).

By integrating the strainer and the check valve with the water stopcock, an installation space can be omitted as compared with a case where each member is provided individually. Therefore, it is easy to assemble the members together even in a limited space inside the faucet, and it is possible to prevent the faucet itself from being enlarged.

Next, another embodiment of a faucet with a stand with a water stopcock to which the inventions of claims 1 to 5 are applied will be described with reference to FIG. The faucet 11 is characterized in that the faucet unit 64 particularly integrates the faucet and the check valve. In addition, about the structure common to the above-mentioned 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol as 1st Embodiment is attached | subjected to a figure, and description is abbreviate | omitted. Stopcock unit 6
4 is provided with a base portion 66.
A male screw is engraved on the outer peripheral surface near the front end of the plug and is screwed and fixed to a female screw of the water stopcock mounting hole 29. The base 6
A seal member 40 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of 6, so that the base portion 66 and the water stopcock mounting hole 29 are watertight.

The base 66 is provided with an insertion hole 68 along its central axis. A spindle 70 is mounted in the insertion hole 68 so as to be able to advance and retreat along the insertion hole 68. A female screw, into which a male screw formed in the spindle 70 is screwed, is formed near the distal end of the insertion hole 68, and a tool is inserted into a groove 71 provided in the base end of the spindle 70 to rotate. By operating, the spindle 70 can be advanced and retracted along the insertion hole 68.

At the end of the spindle 70, an insertion hole 72 is provided, and the shaft portion 7 of the check valve 74 is inserted into the insertion hole 72.
6 is slidably inserted. Further, the tip end of the insertion hole 72 is formed to have a larger diameter than the shaft portion 76, thereby forming a step portion 80 that supports one end of a coil spring 78 mounted on the shaft portion 76. Further, a sealing member 40 is provided on the outer peripheral surface near the base end of the spindle 70.
Are mounted, and the outer peripheral surface of the spindle 70 and the insertion hole 68
