Description

The present invention relates to a faucet.

  In recent years, with the increase of so-called one-room apartments, countermeasures have also been taken in the faucet field. As an example of a one-room apartment, there is a case where a bathroom wall and a washroom wall are arranged to face each other through a space. This space has hot water pipes.

  However, it is expensive to employ the conventional construction in which the hot and cold water mixing faucets are separately provided in the bathroom and the washroom in the one-room apartment having the above configuration.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters, and the purpose thereof is, for example, a bathroom wall and a washroom wall are arranged to face each other through a space, and a hot water pipe passes through the space. In some cases, it is to provide an inexpensive water faucet that can be used in both bathrooms and washrooms.

  In order to achieve the above object, the faucet of the present invention has a faucet body connected to a pipe installed in a space formed between two walls separating one compartment and the other compartment, The faucet body is constructed over two walls, and the faucet body has one chamber for introducing hot water and / or water, and the flow rate of mixed water or water led out from the chamber is adjusted. The function of supplying mixed water or water only to one of the two compartments, and the supply of mixed water or water to the two compartments by stopping the derivation of mixed water or water from the chamber It has the function to stop water at the same time so as not to be carried out.

The water faucet of the present invention is connected to a hot water pipe and a water pipe installed in a space formed between two walls separating one compartment and the other compartment, respectively. These pipes are installed over two walls, and each pipe is provided with an operation member for water stop or flow rate adjustment and a valve body for water stop or flow rate adjustment. It has a mixing chamber for introducing adjusted hot water and / or water, and adjusts the flow rate of the mixed water or water led out from the mixing chamber so that the mixed water or water is supplied only to one of the two compartments. There is provided a faucet body having a function of supplying and a function of stopping mixed water or water from the mixing chamber and stopping water at the same time so that the mixed water or water is not supplied to the two compartments. One end of A water faucet provided with an operation member for water stop or flow rate adjustment at the other end in a freely rotatable manner, and one of the operation members for water stop or flow rate adjustment provided at one end and the other end of the faucet body, respectively. The faucet body is installed across the two walls in a state of being arranged in the other compartment and the other compartment, and the mixing chamber is separated into two mixing chamber portions via a partition wall, and one mixing chamber The portion communicates with the supply flow path from the one compartment side via the first valve body, and the other mixing chamber portion communicates with the supply flow path from the other compartment side via the second valve body. A faucet characterized by being configured is provided (claim 2).
In this case, a communication pipe that communicates each pipe and each mixing chamber portion is provided on one partition side and the other partition side, while the water stop or flow rate adjustment provided on one end and the other end of the hot water faucet body. The operation members are linked and connected coaxially through a single plug bar provided in the faucet body. These operation members for water stoppage or flow rate adjustment and their surroundings are used on one section side, respectively. It is preferable to provide an indicator for informing the other compartment side that the state is in the state and an indicator for informing that the two compartments are in the water stop state (Claim 3).

  In the faucet of the present invention (Claim 1), the faucet body is connected to a pipe installed in a space formed between two walls separating one compartment and the other compartment. The main body is constructed over two walls, and the faucet body has one chamber for introducing hot water and / or water, and the flow rate of mixed water or water led out from this chamber is adjusted. The function of supplying mixed water or water only to one of the two compartments, and simultaneously stopping the derivation of mixed water or water from the chamber so that mixed water or water is not supplied to the two compartments Since it has the function to stop water, it can be used in, for example, a bathroom or a washroom, and it is possible to provide a low-cost water faucet that can reduce facility work compared to the conventional case.

  In the faucet of the present invention (Claim 2), one faucet body, a hot water side pipe and a water side pipe, each having a water stop or flow rate adjusting operation member rotatably provided at one end and the other end, respectively. It is constructed over the two walls of the other compartment and the other compartment, and for example, hot water or water is introduced into the faucet body by operating the water stop or flow rate adjusting operation member provided in each pipe. For example, in a bathroom, it has a configuration that can supply mixed water mixed with hot water and water to the compartment side by turning the operation member for water stop or flow rate adjustment provided at one end and the other end. It can also be used in bathrooms and can provide a low-cost water faucet that can reduce the construction work of equipment compared to the prior art.

  In addition to the above-described effect, the water faucet according to the present invention has a communication pipe that communicates each pipe and each mixing chamber portion on one compartment side and the other compartment side. The operation member for water stop or flow rate adjustment provided at one end and the other end of the main body is interlocked and connected coaxially through one plug bar provided in the water faucet main body, and for these water stop or flow rate adjustment. The operation member and its surroundings are each notified with an indicator for notifying the other compartment side that it is in use on one compartment side, and with a water stoppage on the two compartment sides. Index is provided, so that when one compartment side is in use, the other compartment side user can recognize that the other compartment side is not usable, It can be confirmed that Selfishness is good.
