DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water faucet device installed in a sink or a wash basin, and particularly to a functional water such as an alkaline water, an acidic water, and a mineral water, separately from general water (main water). The present invention relates to a faucet device that can take water according to needs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, sinks and wash basins are equipped with faucets that can take in general water. What can also take in functional water, such as alkaline water, acidic water, and mineral water, is desired.

For this reason, in a conventional sink or wash basin, a water generating device capable of generating alkaline water and acidic water by electrolyzing tap water is provided in a cabinet below the sink. Or by attaching a water purifier with a removable filter to the faucet of the main tap.

The former method, however, has many problems, such as a large-scale apparatus, which is expensive, and that the lower side of the sink cannot be used as a storage space. On the other hand, in the latter method, although it is simple, it only filters main water with a filter, and cannot obtain functional water such as alkaline water, and also has the trouble of switching between main water and filtered water. And the water purifier is located around the faucet, which hinders the water intake operation.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned situation, and its object is to provide a function of alkaline water, acidic water, mineral water, etc., which is completely separate from the main water according to the needs of the customer. An object of the present invention is to provide a faucet device that can easily obtain water.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in a water faucet device according to the present invention, functional water such as alkaline water, acidic water, mineral water or the like is contained in a depth side wall of a sink. Alternatively, a casing capable of accommodating a reproducible cartridge is provided, and the casing is provided with a faucet capable of being filled with water on the sink side.

[0007]
