Description

本発明は、浴室等に設置される水栓に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a faucet installed in a bathroom or the like.

浴室等に設置される水栓は、浴室内に設けられたカウンター等の天板または壁面に取り付けられ、給湯源，給水源から供給された湯と水とを混合し、混合された湯水は吐水管、またはホースを介して接続されたシャワーヘッドの何れか一方から吐水されるものである。そして、この種の水栓においては、ホースは本体の後面で左右方向の中心に取り付けられるのが一般的である。 The faucet installed in the bathroom, etc. is attached to the top plate or wall surface of the counter etc. installed in the bathroom, mixes the hot water supplied from the hot water supply source and the water supply source, and the mixed hot water is discharged. Water is discharged from either a water pipe or a shower head connected via a hose. In this type of faucet, the hose is generally attached to the center in the left-right direction on the rear surface of the main body.

上記の水栓では、本体の後面と浴室の壁面との間に形成された空間にホースが収容されているが、この空間は狭く、ホースを自由に取り回すことができないため、シャワーヘッドを広い範囲で使用することができなくなるおそれがあった。そこで、ホースを水栓の本体に対して左右何れかの側面に接続することが考えられる。しかし、浴室の形態には、浴槽が水栓に対して右側に配置される仕様と左側に配置される仕様、すなわち、浴室のレイアウトは、浴槽と水栓とが左右反対となる場合がある。そのため、ホースの水栓本体への取付位置は取り回しの関係上、水栓に対して右側に接続される形態と、左側に接続される形態との、２種類の仕様の水栓が必要となってしまい、その改善が望まれていた。そこで、水栓の両側面に予め接続口をそれぞれ形成し、浴室の形態に応じて好適な側面にのみホースを接続可能としたものに、特許文献１のものがある。 In the above faucet, the hose is accommodated in the space formed between the rear surface of the main body and the wall surface of the bathroom, but this space is narrow and the hose cannot be freely routed, so the shower head is wide. There was a possibility that it could not be used in the range. Therefore, it is conceivable to connect the hose to either the left or right side with respect to the main body of the faucet. However, as for the form of the bathroom, the specification in which the bathtub is disposed on the right side and the specification in which the bathtub is disposed on the left side, that is, the layout of the bathroom, the bathtub and the faucet may be opposite to each other. Therefore, the mounting position of the hose on the faucet body requires two types of faucets, one connected to the right side of the faucet and the other connected to the left side, for handling purposes. The improvement was desired. Thus, there is one in Patent Document 1 in which connection ports are formed in advance on both side surfaces of the faucet so that a hose can be connected only to a suitable side surface according to the form of the bathroom.

特許文献１について簡単に説明すると、シャワー装置は、前面側にシャワー吐出口を有するシャワー装置本体の両側にそれぞれ接続口を設け、一方の接続口にホースの後端部を取り付け、他方の接続口は使用しないため、めくらキャップを取り付けたものである。また、箱体にカバーを被着する構成が採用されており、箱体に設けられた接続口と、カバーの外側から一方の接続口に接続されるエルボとによりカバーを挟着することで、カバーは箱体に固定され、箱体の両側面に設けられた接続口は、互いの中心軸線が同一軸線上となるように形成されている。
実開平４−９５７８８号 Briefly describing Patent Document 1, the shower apparatus is provided with connection ports on both sides of a shower apparatus main body having a shower discharge port on the front side, the rear end portion of the hose is attached to one connection port, and the other connection port Because it is not used, it has a blind cap attached. Moreover, the structure which adhere | attaches a cover on a box is employ | adopted, and by pinching a cover by the connection port provided in the box, and the elbow connected to one connection port from the outside of a cover, The cover is fixed to the box, and the connection ports provided on both side surfaces of the box are formed such that the center axes of the covers are on the same axis.

特許文献１のシャワー装置本体では、箱体に設けられた左右どちらか一方の接続口にエルボを取り付けていく際に、カバーの外周面にエルボの鍔部が密着するが、この状態でエルボを締め付けていくと、その締付力がカバーにも伝達する。この場合、左右の接続口は互いの中心線が同一軸線上であるため、両接続口を中心にエルボとカバーとが箱体に対し共回りするおそれがあり、安定した状態でカバーを箱体へ固定することができなかった。 In the shower device main body of Patent Document 1, when the elbow is attached to either the left or right connection port provided in the box, the elbow collar closely contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cover. When tightening, the tightening force is transmitted to the cover. In this case, since the center lines of the left and right connection ports are on the same axis, there is a possibility that the elbow and the cover may rotate around the box around both connection ports, and the cover should be secured in a stable state. Could not fix to.

本発明は、このような従来の技術に存在する問題点に着目してなされたものであり、その目的は、カバー体の左右に形成された取出孔の何れか一方に、吐水具に連通する接続部材を取り付ける水栓において、安定した状態で本体とカバー体とを固定することができる水栓を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and the purpose thereof is to communicate with the water discharger at either one of the extraction holes formed on the left and right sides of the cover body.

Further, the base 61 is provided with a mark 68 indicating the mounting direction of the fixing metal 60 with respect to the main body 1 and the elbow 20.

次に、エルボ２０と接続部材３０との接続について説明する。
まず、水栓Ａの左右どちらの側面にホース８を接続するかを確認する。例えば、水栓Ａに向かって右側面にホース８を接続する場合には、図２及び図５（ａ）に示すように、エルボ２０の第３フランジ２４と本体１の第１フランジ２ａとの間に空間が形成されるように、エルボ２０の本体接続部２１を本体１の嵌合部２に挿入するとともに、エルボ２０の流体供給部２６とカバー体１１の取出孔１２との中心軸線を一致させる。その後、固定金具６０の目印６８を確認し、図５（ｂ）に示すように、固定金具６０と嵌合部２とは、第１係止溝６４と第３フランジ２４とが係合するように、固定金具６０と本体接続部２１とは、第２係止溝６５と第１フランジ２ａが、第３係止溝６６と第２フランジ２ｂがそれぞれ係合することでエルボ２０が本体１へ取り付けられる。このとき、固定金具６０の上下が反対になっていると、第１突起６７ａがエルボ２０の本体接続部２１の台座２５に当接することから、固定金具６０を本体１へ取り付けることができず、施工者は固定金具６０の取付方向が上下反対であることに気づく。したがって、施工者は再度目印６８を確認して、固定金具６０を正確に取りつけることができる。 Next, the connection between the elbow 20 and the connection member 30 will be described.
First, it is confirmed whether the hose 8 is connected to the left or right side of the faucet A. For example, when the hose 8 is connected to the right side toward the faucet A, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5A, the third flange 24 of the elbow 20 and the first flange 2a of the main body 1 are connected. The main body connecting portion 21 of the elbow 20 is inserted into the fitting portion 2 of the main body 1 so that a space is formed therebetween, and the central axis line between the fluid supply portion 26 of the elbow 20 and the extraction hole 12 of the cover body 11 is set. Match. Thereafter, the mark 68 of the fixing bracket 60 is confirmed, and as shown in FIG. 5B, the first locking groove 64 and the third flange 24 are engaged with the fixing bracket 60 and the fitting portion 2. In addition, the fixing metal 60 and the main body connecting portion 21 are configured such that the elbow 20 is connected to the main body 1 by engaging the second locking groove 65 and the first flange 2a and the third locking groove 66 and the second flange 2b, respectively. It is attached. At this time, if the fixing metal 60 is upside down, the first protrusion 67a contacts the pedestal 25 of the main body connecting portion 21 of the elbow 20, and therefore the fixing metal 60 cannot be attached to the main body 1. The installer notices that the mounting direction of the fixture 60 is upside down. Therefore, the installer can confirm the mark 68 again and attach the fixing bracket 60 accurately.

次に、接続部材３０とエルボ２０とを接続するために、取付ナット３１の第１雄ねじ３４とエルボ２０の第１雌ねじ２７とを螺合させる。そして、取付ナット３１を締め付けていくと、取付ナット３１の鍔部３２とエルボ２０の流体供給部２６端面とにより、カバー体１１と本体固定板１６とが挟持され、カバー体１１は本体１に強固に固定される。なお取付ナット３１を締め付けていく際には、この締付力が鍔部３２を介してカバー体１１へ伝達されるが、カバー体１１の両側面に穿設された取出孔１２，１２ａは、その中心軸線Ｘ１，Ｘ２が左右で偏心するように形成されているため、取付ナット３１の締付方向にカバー体１１が動くことはない。したがって、カバー体１１を本体１に確実に固定することができる。その後、アダプター４１の第３雌ねじ４３に接続具５１の第３雄ねじ５２を螺合させるとともに、カバー体１１の取出孔１２ａに盲蓋７０を取り付けることで、作業が完了する。 Next, in order to connect the connecting member 30 and the elbow 20, the first male screw 34 of the mounting nut 31 and the first female screw 27 of the elbow 20 are screwed together. When the mounting nut 31 is tightened, the cover body 11 and the body fixing plate 16 are sandwiched between the flange portion 32 of the mounting nut 31 and the end surface of the fluid supply section 26 of the elbow 20, and the cover body 11 is attached to the body 1. It is firmly fixed. When the mounting nut 31 is tightened, this tightening force is transmitted to the cover body 11 via the flange portion 32. The extraction holes 12 and 12a drilled on both sides of the cover body 11 Since the central axes X1 and X2 are formed so as to be decentered on the left and right, the cover body 11 does not move in the tightening direction of the mounting nut 31. Therefore, the cover body 11 can be reliably fixed to the main body 1. Thereafter, the third male screw 52 of the connector 51 is screwed into the third female screw 43 of the adapter 41 and the blind cover 70 is attached to the take-out hole 12a of the cover body 11 to complete the operation.

また、水栓Ａに向かって左側面にホース８を接続する場合には、図６及び図７（ａ）に示すように、エルボ２０の第３フランジ２４と本体１の第１フランジ２４とが互いに重なり合うように、エルボ２０の本体接続部２１を本体１の嵌合部２に挿入するとともに、エルボ２０の流体供給部２６とカバー体１１の取出孔１２ａとの中心軸線を一致させる。その後、固定金具６０の目印６８を確認し、固定金具６０を図４の状態から上下反転させた状態にし、固定金具６０と本体接続部２１とは、第２係止溝６５と第３フランジ２４とが係合するように、固定金具６０と嵌合部２とは、第２係止溝６５と第１フランジ２ａとが、第１係止溝６４と第２フランジ２ｂとがそれぞれ係合することで、エルボ２０が本体１へ取り付けられる。このとき、固定金具６０の上下が反対になっていると、第３突起６７ｃがエルボ２０の本体接続部２１の台座２５に当接することから、固定金具６０を本体１へ取り付けることができず、施工者は固定金具６０の取付方向が上下反対であることに気づく。したがって、施工者は再度目印６８を確認して、固定金具６０を正確に取りつけることができる。また固定金具６０は、本体１及びエルボ２０の各フランジ２ａ，２ｂ，２４と固定金具６０の係止溝６４，６５，６６とが係合する位置を変えることにより、本体１に対するエルボ２０の取付位置を調節可能としている。 When the hose 8 is connected to the left side toward the faucet A, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A, the third flange 24 of the elbow 20 and the first flange 24 of the main body 1 are connected to each other. The main body connecting portion 21 of the elbow 20 is inserted into the fitting portion 2 of the main body 1 so as to overlap each other, and the central axes of the fluid supply portion 26 of the elbow 20 and the extraction hole 12a of the cover body 11 are made to coincide. Thereafter, the mark 68 of the fixing bracket 60 is confirmed, the fixing bracket 60 is turned upside down from the state of FIG. 4, and the fixing bracket 60 and the main body connection portion 21 are connected to the second locking groove 65 and the third flange 24. So that the second locking groove 65 and the first flange 2a engage with the first locking groove 64 and the second flange 2b, respectively. Thus, the elbow 20 is attached to the main body 1. At this time, if the fixing bracket 60 is upside down, the third protrusion 67c comes into contact with the pedestal 25 of the main body connecting portion 21 of the elbow 20, so the fixing bracket 60 cannot be attached to the main body 1. The installer notices that the mounting direction of the fixture 60 is upside down. Therefore, the installer can confirm the mark 68 again and attach the fixing bracket 60 accurately. Further, the fixing metal 60 is attached to the main body 1 by changing the position where the flanges 2a, 2b, 24 of the main body 1 and the elbow 20 are engaged with the locking grooves 64, 65, 66 of the fixing metal 60. The position can be adjusted.

次に、接続部材３０とエルボ２０とを接続するために、取付ナット３１の第１雄ねじ３４とエルボ２０の第１雌ねじ２７とを螺合させる。取付ナット３１を締め付けていくと、取付ナット３１の鍔部３２とエルボ２０の流体供給部２６端面とにより、カバー体１１と本体固定板１６とが挟持され、カバー体１１は本体１に強固に固定される。なお、取付ナット３１を締め付けていく際には、この締付力が鍔部３２を介してカバー体１１へ伝達されるが、カバー体１１の両側面に穿設された取出孔１２，１２ａは、その中心軸線Ｘ１，Ｘ２が左右で偏心するように形成されているため、取付ナット３１の締付方向にカバー体１１が動くことはない。したがって、カバー体１１を本体１に確実に固定することができる。その後、アダプター４１の第３雌ねじ４３に接続具５１の第３雄ねじ５２を螺合させるとともに、カバー体１１の取出孔１２ａに盲蓋７０を取り付けることで、作業が完了する。 Next, in order to connect the connecting member 30 and the elbow 20, the first male screw 34 of the mounting nut 31 and the first female screw 27 of the elbow 20 are screwed together. As the mounting nut 31 is tightened, the cover body 11 and the body fixing plate 16 are sandwiched between the flange portion 32 of the mounting nut 31 and the end surface of the fluid supply section 26 of the elbow 20, and the cover body 11 is firmly attached to the body 1. Fixed. When the mounting nut 31 is tightened, this tightening force is transmitted to the cover body 11 via the flange 32, but the extraction holes 12, 12a drilled on both side surfaces of the cover body 11 are provided. Since the center axis lines X1 and X2 are formed so as to be decentered on the left and right, the cover body 11 does not move in the tightening direction of the mounting nut 31. Therefore, the cover body 11 can be reliably fixed to the main body 1. Thereafter, the third male screw 52 of the connector 51 is screwed into the third female screw 43 of the adapter 41 and the blind cover 70 is attached to the take-out hole 12a of the cover body 11 to complete the operation.

このように本発明では、カバー体に穿設された取出孔は、その中心軸線が左右で偏心させているので、エルボに接続部材を取り付ける際に、接続部材の締付力によってカバー体と接続部材とが共回りすることがなく、カバー体を強固に固定することができる。また固定金具は、上下を反転させることにより、本体及びエルボの各フランジと固定金具の係止溝とが係合する位置を変えることで、本体に対するエルボの取付位置を調節することができるので、浴室の形態によって形状の異なるエルボ及び固定金具を用意する必要がなく、部品を共用することができる。さらに、目印を確認することで固定金具を正確に取り付けることができる。 Thus, in the present invention, since the center axis of the take-out hole drilled in the cover body is decentered on the left and right, when the connection member is attached to the elbow, it is connected to the cover body by the tightening force of the connection member. The cover body can be firmly fixed without rotating together with the member. In addition, the mounting position of the elbow relative to the main body can be adjusted by changing the position where each flange of the main body and the elbow engages with the locking groove of the fixing metal by reversing the upper and lower sides of the fixing bracket, There is no need to prepare elbows and fixtures having different shapes depending on the form of the bathroom, and parts can be shared. Furthermore, the fixing bracket can be accurately attached by confirming the mark.
