DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a faucet in which a supply pipe for supplying a fluid such as hot water or water is connected to a main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 3 and 4 show a conventional water faucet in which a supply pipe for supplying hot water and water is connected to a primary side of a mixing section for mixing hot water and water. 3 and 4
The water faucet 25 is inserted into a through hole 23 formed in a top plate 22 such as a sink 21 or a vanity stand.
6, a nut 28 is screwed into the male screw portion 27 from below the top plate 22 and fixed to the top plate 22. The flow rate and the temperature of the hot water can be adjusted by operating the lever 30 connected to the mixing unit 29 up and down or left and right, and the adjusted hot water is rotatably mounted below the mixing unit 29. Water is discharged from the discharged water discharge pipe 31. On the upstream side of the mixing section 29, that is, on the primary side and below the main body 26, hot water and water are supplied from the hot water supply source and the water supply source to the mixing section 2.
Supply pipes 32, 32 for supplying to 9 are respectively connected. Normally, copper pipes or elastic hoses are used for the supply pipes 32. By connecting the supply pipes 32 to a water stopcock 33 mounted in the cabinet 24, a water faucet 25 is connected.
Hot water and water are supplied to the

When a copper pipe is used as the supply pipe in the above-mentioned one, the copper pipe is inexpensive but lacks flexibility, so that a large amount of labor is required for connection work such as bending and cutting performed during construction. . When an elastic hose is used for the supply pipe, the elastic hose can be freely deformed and the connection to the water stopcock is easy, but the price of the water tap rises because the elastic hose is expensive. I was

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, depending on the construction site, the mounting position of the water stopcock may be shifted depending on the construction site. In such a case, the supply pipe must be deformed into a complicated shape. Can not be connected to the stopcock,
An unnecessary load may be applied to the supply pipe to cause damage, or the supply pipe may come off from the water stopcock and leak water.

[0005]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that a fluid such as hot water or water is connected to the primary side of the main body, and a fluid such as hot water is supplied from the water supply source to the hot water flow path and the water flow path of the main body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a water faucet that can easily connect a supply pipe to be connected to a water stopcock, and to make the water faucet inexpensive.

[0006]

A faucet according to the present invention is connected to a primary side of a main body, and supplies a fluid such as hot water or water from a water supply source to a hot water flow path or a water flow path of the main body. Is formed by a polyethylene pipe or a polybutene pipe.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a faucet 5 is provided with a through hole 3 formed in a top plate 2 such as a sink 1 or a vanity stand.
The male screw 7 formed on the outer periphery of the main body 6 is inserted through the
Is fixed by screwing a nut 8 to the male screw portion 7 from below.

The main body 6 is provided with a mixing section 9 for mixing hot water and water. By operating a lever 10 connected to the mixing section 9 up and down or left and right, the flow rate and temperature of the discharged hot water can be adjusted. The water can be adjusted, and the mixed hot and cold water is discharged from a water discharge pipe 11 rotatably mounted below the mixing section 9. A supply pipe 12 for supplying hot water and water to a hot water flow path and a water flow path is connected to a lower portion of the main body 6 on the primary side of the mixing section 9.

The supply pipe 12 is formed of a polyethylene pipe or a polybutene pipe. The supply pipe 12 communicates with a hot water supply source and a water supply source, and a water stopper 13 mounted in the cabinet 4 has a functional member 14 such as a check valve. Connected through. Since the supply pipe 12 is formed of a polyethylene pipe or a polybutene pipe, it is lightweight and highly flexible, can be freely bent depending on the construction site, and can be manufactured at low cost.

To attach the faucet 5 to the top plate 3, a male screw portion 7 formed on the outer periphery of the main body 6 is inserted into an insertion hole 3 formed in the top plate 2 such as a sink 1 or a vanity stand. , Top plate 2
Is fixed by screwing a nut 8 to the male screw portion 7 from below. Thereafter, the supply pipes 12 for hot water and water are connected to a water stopcock 13 installed in the cabinet 4.
Since the supply pipe 12 is formed of a polyethylene pipe or a polybutene pipe, it can be bent freely, and the supply pipe 12 can be easily connected to the water stopcock 13. In the present invention, the faucet is described using a single lever type faucet. However, a faucet such as a single faucet, a two-handle faucet, a thermostatic faucet, a water purifier faucet, a shower draw faucet, etc. Is not limited.

[0011]

The water faucet of the present invention is connected to the primary side of the main body, and a supply pipe for supplying a fluid such as hot water or water from the hot water supply source to the hot water flow path and the water flow path of the main body is a polyethylene pipe. Alternatively, since the supply pipe is formed of a polybutene pipe, the supply pipe can be lightly and easily deformed, and the faucet can be manufactured at low cost.
