[0022]

As described above, according to the first aspect, the head portion having the mist shower hole at the tip portion and the water discharge pipe having the connecting portion at the base end are attached to the faucet at the connecting portion. The water from the faucet is sprayed into the room from the mist shower hole. According to the present invention, the mist shower can be sprayed into the room simply by attaching the water discharge pipe to the faucet.

Therefore, according to the present invention, there is no problem that the cost is high as in the case where the mist shower device unit dedicated to the mist shower is installed in the room, and a large number of mist shower holes are provided from the shower head above the room. As in the case of spraying a mist shower through, the flexible shower hose becomes difficult to bend due to the internal pressure of the shower hose, and the shower head hooked on the shower hook pops out of the shower hook due to the increase in the internal pressure. There is no problem.

Further, according to the present invention, the mist shower device can be constructed by simply connecting the water discharge pipe to the faucet conventionally provided in the faucet, and the mist shower can be jetted into the room. That is, even if a dedicated mist shower device unit is not provided in advance, it is possible to provide the mist shower jetting function there by simply connecting the water discharge pipe to the faucet. If it is not necessary, the faucet can be used as a faucet of a normal faucet by removing the water discharge pipe from the faucet.

Here, the water discharge pipe as a whole can be made rotatable about its axis with respect to the faucet (claim 2). In this way, the injection position of the mist shower can be changed around the axis of the faucet.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the head portion is rotatable with respect to the axis of the water discharge pipe. In this case, the injection position of the mist shower is changed around the axis of the water discharge pipe. In addition, the direction of the injection can be changed in various ways. For example, from upward to downward,
It is possible to change the direction of mist shower spray in various ways, such as sideways or diagonal.

In particular, by combining the second and third aspects, the mist shower hole, that is, the mist shower jetting position and the jetting direction can be variously changed, and the mist can be changed from the desired position to the desired direction. It is possible to jet a shower.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the water discharge pipe is connected to the faucet projecting downward from the counter so that the mist shower is injected into the room from below the counter. Normally, the counter is provided in the lower part of the room such as the bathroom, and thus, by doing so, it is possible to inject the mist shower from the lower part to the upper part of the room.

In particular, when the high temperature mist shower is sprayed from the mist shower hole to heat the interior of the bathroom or the like or to use the bathroom as a mist sauna space, the sprayed mist is conventionally used. Different from the above, it will float evenly not only in the upper part of the room such as the bathroom but also in the lower part, and it will be possible to efficiently perform indoor heating. Alternatively, the entire room can be used as a mist sauna space in which mist floats evenly.

Further, according to the present invention, when the hot mist shower is sprayed from the mist shower hole to heat the room and then the water discharge pipe is removed from the faucet to use the faucet as an original faucet, that is, the faucet. When spitting water from
Even if hot water that happens to be left is accidentally discharged from the faucet, there is no danger of it directly hitting the human body, and there is an advantage that it is safe.

In this case, when the mist shower is not jetted, the water discharge pipe can be stored under the counter (claim 5). If you do this,
It is possible to avoid the problem that when the water discharge pipe is not used, the water discharge pipe sticks out into the room and becomes an obstacle. Here, the water discharge pipe may be housed under the counter by a rotating motion, or may be housed under the counter by once being removed and then reconnected. However, the former is preferable.

In the present invention, a water flow accelerating mechanism for accelerating the water sent through the water discharge pipe and supplying it to the mist shower hole can be built in the head portion (claim 6). By doing so, the water flow can be efficiently formed into mist and sprayed from each mist shower hole.

In this case, the water flow accelerating mechanism may be a spiral groove provided corresponding to each mist shower hole for causing the water flow to swirl (claim 7). Further, in this case, the spiral groove can be formed as a double spiral groove (claim 8).

In the case of forming a single spiral groove, in order to effectively accelerate the water flow and then jet the water from the mist shower hole, the lead angle must be set to be large to some extent.
However, in this case, the pitch of the spiral groove becomes large, and it becomes difficult to form the spiral groove with a small pitch. However, when the spiral groove is a double spiral groove, the lead angle can be increased, that is, the acceleration mechanism for the water flow can be improved, and the pitch between the spiral grooves can be reduced, which results in a large amount of water. Can be guided to the mist shower hole while simultaneously making a turning motion.

In the present invention, a chlorine removing cartridge for removing chlorine in tap water can be built in the head portion (claim 9). For example, when a mist shower is sprayed from a mist shower hole in a bathroom and drifted in the bathroom, chlorine water is contained in the tap water, so that a chlorine odor is drifting in the bathroom. However, if a chlorine removal cartridge is built in the head part and chlorine components in tap water are removed and then sprayed from the mist shower hole, such a problem can be solved.

Furthermore, when the mist sprayed from the mist shower hole is applied to the face in a bathroom or the like, that is, when it is used for washing, etc., it is made as a skin-friendly mist by removing chlorine from tap water. This can be jetted.

In the present invention, the connecting portion may be composed of a coupler (claim 10). By doing so, the water discharge pipe can be attached / detached to / from the faucet of the faucet very easily.

In the eleventh aspect, a head portion having a mist shower hole at the tip portion and a water discharge pipe having a water discharge outlet for straight water discharge at the base end portion are provided in the faucet, and the flow of water is provided. A switching valve for switching to the head portion side or the water outlet side is provided. In this case, by switching the switching valve, mist shower can be jetted or straight water discharge can be performed from the water outlet.
That is, if such a water discharge pipe and a switching valve are provided in the faucet, mist shower can be jetted or straight water discharge can be performed without intentionally removing the water discharge pipe from the faucet.

In this case, the switching valve can be built in the water discharge pipe (claim 12). In this case, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the switch valve from being exposed to the outside, and to make the appearance of the water discharge pipe clean.

Further, in these cases, the switching valve is
The switching operation can be performed by rotating the entire water discharge pipe (claim 13). In this case, when the mist shower is not used, the water flow can be automatically switched to the spout side by simply rotating the mist shower to the retracting side.

In this case, the switching valve has a fixed valve body and a movable valve body, and the movable valve body is rotated together with the water discharge pipe to switch the water flow to the head portion side or the water outlet side. Can be done (Claim 1
4).

In particular, when a high temperature mist shower is sprayed from the mist shower hole 50 to heat the bathroom indoors or to use the bathroom as a mist sauna space, the sprayed mist is different from the conventional one. Not only the upper part but also the lower part will be evenly floated, and the indoor heating can be efficiently performed. Alternatively, the entire bathroom can be a mist sauna space in which mist floats evenly.

Further, according to the present example, after the high temperature mist shower is sprayed from the mist shower hole 50 to perform indoor heating or the like, the water discharge pipe 46 is removed from the faucet 14 and the faucet 14 is removed.
When the water is spouted from the water, even if the hot water that happens to remain is spouted, there is no danger of directly hitting the human body, and there is an advantage that it is safe.

In this example, since the water discharge pipe 46 can be stored under the counter 10 when the mist shower is not jetted, the water discharge pipe 46 sticks out into the room when not in use, which is an obstacle. It is possible to avoid such a problem.

In addition, in this example, since the chlorine removing cartridge 66 is built in the head portion 52, when the mist shower is sprayed from the mist shower hole 50 and drifted in the bathroom, the chlorine content in the tap water is removed. As a result, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience of having a odor of chlorine in the bathroom.

When the mist sprayed from the mist shower hole 50 is applied to the face in the bathroom,
That is, when it is used for washing, etc., a mist that is gentle on the skin can be sprayed by removing the chlorine content in tap water.

In this example, since the switching valve 94 is built into the water discharge pipe 46, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the surroundings of the faucet 14 from being spoiled by the exposure of the switching valve 94 to the outside, and at the same time, to discharge the water. The appearance around the pipe 46 can also be made clean.

Further, in this example, since the switching valve 94 performs the switching operation by the rotation of the faucet 14 of the water discharge pipe 46 about the axis, the water discharge pipe 46 is stored (retracted) when the mist shower is not used. ), The flow of water from the faucet 14 can be automatically switched to the spout 86 side.

In the above embodiment, the water discharge pipe 46 is provided with the water discharge port 86 and the switching valve 94. However, as shown in FIG. 10, such a water discharge port 86 and the switching valve 94 are not provided. And the faucet 1 at the connecting portion 54.
