Fig. 12 is a side view showing a state in which a shelf for a hot and cold water mixing faucet is attached to a faucet body in a fourth embodiment, and Fig. 13 is an installation of a shelf for a hot and cold water mixing faucet in the fifth embodiment in a faucet body. It is a side view showing a state.

First, a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described. The shelf A for the hot and cold water mixing faucet includes a mounting seat 2 having a flat shelf 1 in contact with the faucet main body 10 so that an object can be placed on the upper surface of the faucet main body 10 attached to the wall surface B. A water supply leg joint 11 and a hot water supply leg joint 12 via the leg 3
Attached to.

[0013] The hot and cold water mixing shelf includes a flat shelf 1,
The vehicle includes a mounting seat 2, a leg 3, and a guide bar 9.

The mounting seat 2 is fixed to the flat shelf 1 and the screw 5 via a stay 4. The mounting seat 2 is connected to the stay 4 by welding, screw screws, an adhesive, or the like. The stay 4 is provided with a long hole 8 so that the position of the flat shelf 1 can be freely adjusted in the front-rear direction so that the flat shelf 1 can be in close contact with the wall B when the screw 5 is tightened.

The hot water faucet shelf A has a mounting seat 2 having a faucet main body 1.
In a state of being in contact with the upper surface, the leg 3 is clamped and fixed to the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water leg joint 12 on the back of the hot and cold water mixing faucet by the screw 6. Slot 3 in leg 3
The mounting seat 2 is in contact with the upper surface of the faucet body 10 when the screw screw 14 is tightened, and the leg 3 is connected to the water supply leg joint 1.
1 and can be freely adjusted in the height direction so that it can be attached to and contact the upper surface of the hot water supply foot joint 12.

As described above, the mounting seat 2 is in contact with the upper surface of the faucet main body 10, and the legs 3 are provided with the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 1.
Because of the height adjustment structure that can be attached in contact with the upper surface of 2,
Water faucet body 10, water supply leg joint 11 and hot water supply leg joint 12
The hot water mixing faucet shelf A can be attached to various hot water mixing faucets having different positional relationships in the height direction from the water mixing faucet.

The shelf 1 is made of a metal such as brass or stainless steel or a synthetic resin such as ABS. When the shelf A for a hot and cold mixing faucet is attached to the faucet C, the shelf 1 is viewed from above.
Conceals the water supply legs 18 and the hot water supply legs 19, further covers the rear half of the temperature control handle 17 and the switching / opening / closing handle 16, and exposes the front half thereof. When the faucet C is viewed from the side, the distance between the projecting portion 17a of the temperature control handle 17 and the projecting portion 16a of the switching / opening / closing handle 16 and the shelf 1 is 15 mm or more, preferably 2 mm or more.
About 0 mm is secured.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the hot water supply leg 19 from being inadvertently touched, to prevent the shelf 1 from being obstructed when operating the handles 16 and 17, and to further control the temperature control handle 17 and the switching / opening / closing handle 16. Projections 17a, 16a and shelf 1
So as not to get caught between them.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be described. In this embodiment, only the shape of the leg 3 is different from that of the first embodiment, and the other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment, so that the description of the common parts will be omitted.

In the first embodiment, the leg 3 is fixed to the faucet by tightening the leg 3 with the screw 6. However, in the second embodiment, the water supply leg joint 18 and the hot water supply leg joint 19 are elastically attached to the leg 3. This makes it unnecessary to tighten the screw screws, and the mounting is easier than in the first embodiment.

Next, a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described. In this embodiment, the mounting of the shelf 1 and the mounting seat 2 is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply are provided by the sandwiching rib 24 and the vertical rib 25 provided on the mounting seat 2 and the plate 23. The outer diameter of the leg joint 12 is sandwiched, the screw 26 is tightened, and the mounting seat 2 is fixed to the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12.

The sandwiching rib 24 is provided in the shape of a letter "C" and has a structure that can cope with changes in the outer diameter of the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12. Vertical rib 2
Numeral 5 is provided to secure the fastening with the plate 23. The plate 23 has a structure in which both ends are deformed so as to be securely tightened even if the outer diameters of the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12 change.

This makes it possible to attach the hot water mixing faucet rack A to various hot water mixing faucets having different outer shapes of the faucet body 10, the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12. I have.

Next, a fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 12 will be described. In this embodiment, the mounting of the shelf 1 and the mounting seat 2 is the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the adapter 27 is screwed into the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12, and the slit provided in the adapter 27 is provided. 28, the mounting seat 2 is inserted from above, fixed with screw screws 29, and attached to the water supply legs 18 and the hot water supply legs 19.

The female screw 30 and the male screw 3 of the adapter 27
The structure is such that even if the screw sizes of the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12 are changed, only by changing the size of No. 1.

Thus, the outer shapes of the faucet body 10, the water supply leg joint 11 and the hot water supply leg joint 12 and the water supply leg joint 1
The hot water mixing faucet shelf A can be attached to various hot water mixing faucets having different screw sizes of the 1 and the hot water supply leg joint 12.

Next, a fifth embodiment shown in FIG.
Is different from that of the fourth embodiment, and the other parts are the same as those of the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the adapter 27 can be seen from the front, but in the fifth embodiment, the mounting seat 2 is located on the front side of the adapter 27 so that the adapter 27 is not seen from the front, thereby improving the appearance.

In each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth embodiments, the mounting seat 2, the leg 3, the adapter 27, and the plate 23 may be made of metal such as stainless steel or brass. And synthetic resin such as ABS.

[0029]

According to the present invention, the following effects are exhibited by the above configuration. The existing hot / water mixing faucet can be used without removing and using the existing hot / water mixing faucet, so that the shelf can be retrofitted on the faucet top surface, which is excellent in workability and easily accessible by the user. Shampoo and soap are easy to use.

Since the hot and cold water mixing faucet rack is only fixed to the faucet with legs or the like, it can be easily removed from the faucet and cleans scales and mold generated between the shelf and the faucet. be able to.
