Install.

  On the other hand, the outer wire 17 and the inner wire 18 are connected to the spindle head 54 such that a retaining portion 53 fixed to the other end of the inner wire 18 is positioned in the inner space of the bottomed cylindrical spindle head 54. It extends so as to extend upward through an insertion hole 54A provided in the upper wall.

  Further, a screw thread 54B formed on the inner wall surface of the spindle head 54 and a screw thread 43A formed on the upper portion of the rod 43 are screwed together, and the spindle head 54, the rod 43, and the like are connected via this screw mechanism. Are fixed and connected.

  Then, with the rod 43 inserted into the internal space of the spindle 42, the screw thread 61A of the lock nut 61 is screwed into the screw thread 42D formed on the peripheral side surface of the spindle 42, and this screw mechanism is Fix through.

  Then, the coiled spring 55 in which the outer wire 17 and the inner wire 18 are inserted is placed on the spindle head 54, and the retaining portion 53 is accommodated and the upper part is inserted through the insertion hole 54A. The spindle head 54 and the spring 55 through which the outer wire 17 and the inner wire 18 are inserted are disposed from above in the space of the hollow cylindrical operating knob 60 to form the inner space of the operating knob 60. The screw thread 60B formed at the lower part of the inner wall surface and the screw thread 42D of the spindle 42 are screwed together, and the operation knob 60 is fixed to the spindle 42 via this screw mechanism.

  Then, the outer wire 17, the inner wire 18, and the wire outer 15 </ b> A inserted in the spring 55 are drawn upward through an insertion hole provided in an adjustment bolt (cap) 56, and the circumference of the adjustment bolt 56 is While the screw thread 56A formed on the side surface and the screw thread 60A formed on the upper part of the inner wall surface forming the inner space of the operation knob 60 are screwed together, the adjustment bolt 56 and the operation bolt are operated via the screw mechanism. The knob 60 is fixed.

  The outer cap 15C that covers the end portion of the outer wire 15A that houses the outer wire 17 and the inner wire 18 from the end portion side and that the inner wire 18 is pulled out into the space of the operation knob 60 includes the outer cap 15C. A predetermined gap is provided in the insertion hole provided in the adjustment bolt 56, and the outer cap 15 </ b> C is rotatable in the insertion hole of the adjustment bolt 56.

  Further, the outer wire 17, the inner wire 18 and the outer wire 15A are drawn upward through the insertion hole provided in the adjustment bolt 56, and as described above, the end of the inner wire 18 is swung. By being positioned between the piece 9 and the head of the bolt 19, the inner wire 18 is fixed to the sliding piece 9 by tightening the bolt 19.

  The urging force of the spring 55 to be extended can be adjusted according to the degree of screwing between the screw thread 56A of the adjusting bolt 56 and the screw thread 60A of the operation knob 60. For this reason, when the adjustment bolt 56 is screwed deeply into the operation knob 60, the urging force becomes strong, so that sometimes the tap water does not come out well or the pedal 13 must be stepped down to lower it. . On the other hand, when the screw is shallowly screwed, the biasing force is weakened, so that it is sometimes sufficient to tap out the tap water or step on the pedal 13 with a weak force.

  The outer wire 17 and the inner wire 18 in the outer wire 15A are bent, and the height level of one end of the inner wire 18 supported by the adjustment bolt 56 is determined by the stepping operation. The fixing device 4 of the apparatus 2 is at a position higher than the height level of the other end supported by the bolt 16 and the nut 14, and in FIG. 3, one end of the inner wire 18 is biased downward. 1 and 2, the other end is also urged upward. In this case, a fulcrum (not shown) may be interposed between the outer wire 17 and the inner wire 18 housed in the wire outer 15A.

  And the state where the operation knob 60 is tightened without operating the stepping operation device 2 is the state shown in FIG. 3, and in this state, the biasing force of the spring 55 stronger than the water supply pressure causes the The spindle head 54 and the rod 43 are urged downward, and the rod 43 presses the valve body 40 from above, and the valve portion 39 comes into contact with the valve seat 37A of the faucet body 31, and the inlet The chamber 31A and the outlet chamber 31B are not in communication with each other, and tap water is not supplied.

  In this standby state, the spindle head 54 and the rod 43 are urged downward by the urging force of the spring 55, so that one end of the inner wire 18 is pulled downward in FIG. 1 and 2, the other end of the inner wire 18 is pulled downward.

  By assembling as described above, the water faucet device 1 is completed. The screwing strength between the screw thread 60B of the operation knob 60 and the screw thread 42D of the spindle 42 is such that the screw thread 42A of the spindle 42 and the screw thread 35A of the stop cock arrangement portion 35 are as follows. Therefore, when the user rotates the operation knob 60, the spindle 42 rotates together with the operation knob 60.

  Hereinafter, an operation in which a user uses the stepping operation device 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to supply water without using a hand will be described. First, in use, when a user puts his / her foot on the stepping plate 13C of the pedal 13 and pushes it down against the urging force of the spring 55, the sliding piece 9 uses the support shaft 8 as a fulcrum as a fulcrum. However, before the pair of limiting plates 13D and 13D abut against the floor surface 21, the spring 55 reaches the limit of compression, and the peristalsis is restricted and stopped. This prevents the pair of restriction plates 13D and 13D from damaging the floor surface 21. However, if this damage is not a problem, the pair of limiting plates 13D and 13D may come into contact with the floor surface 21 so that the peristalsis is restricted and stopped.

  Then, the inner wire 18 fixed to the swing piece 9 is pulled downward against the biasing force of the spring 55 in FIGS. 1 and 2 as the swing piece 9 swings. Accordingly, the spindle head 54 and the rod 43 fixed to the spindle head 54 rise (see FIG. 4).

  For this reason, the rod 43 moves while sliding upward in the spindle 42. As the rod 43 is lifted, the valve element 39 of the valve element 40 is in contact with the valve seat 37A of the faucet body 31 and closes the water passage hole 37, so that the valve element is caused by water pressure. 40 rises to open the water passage 37, and the inlet chamber 31A and the outlet chamber 31B communicate with each other. Accordingly, tap water is supplied from the tap 32.

  The amount of water supplied at this time can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of stepping on the stepping plate 13C of the pedal 13 of the user. That is, depending on the amount of depression described above, the amount of increase of the rod 43 is adjusted, and as a result, the amount of increase of the valve body 40 is adjusted, and the degree of opening of the water passage hole 37 is adjusted to adjust the amount of water. Will be made.

  When the foot is released from the stepping plate 13C of the pedal 13, the inner wire 18 is pulled upward in FIG. 1 against the water pressure by the biasing action of the spring 55. The spindle head 54 and the rod 43 are lowered. As the rod 43 descends, the valve portion 39 of the valve body 40 comes into contact with the valve seat 37A of the faucet body 31 and closes the water passage hole 37, and the inlet chamber 31A and the outlet chamber 31B. Will be cut off, and the supply of tap water will be stopped.

  As described above, the use of the height adjusting table 22 makes it easy to push down the tread plate 13C of the pedal 13. In addition, by placing a heavy stone on the tread board 13C instead of the foot, even if the user is not on the spot, the state shown in the two-dot chain line shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be maintained, Tap water can continue to be dispensed.

  Next, the operation of supplying tap water when the user operates with the hand instead of the foot from the standby state shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the user rotates the operation knob 60 counterclockwise, the spindle 42 and the rod 43 rotate counterclockwise together with the operation knob 60.

  At this time, since the screw thread 42A of the spindle 42 and the screw thread 35A of the water faucet disposing portion 35 are screwed together, the spindle 42 causes the water faucet of the faucet body 31 by the screw mechanism. The inside of the arrangement part 35 will rise.

  That is, as the operation knob 60 is rotated counterclockwise, the operation knob 60, the spindle 42, and the rod 43 are moved upward, so that the valve portion of the valve element 40 is increased as the rod 43 is raised. From the state in which 39 is in contact with the valve seat 37A of the faucet body 31 and closes the water passage hole 37, the valve body 40 is raised by water pressure to open the water passage hole 37, and the inlet chamber 31A and the outlet chamber 31B communicate with each other, and tap water is supplied from the tap 32 (see FIG. 5).

  Conversely, when the user rotates the operation knob 60 to the right, the spindle 42 and the rod 43 rotate to the right along with the operation knob 60. At this time, since the screw thread 42A of the spindle 42 and the screw thread 35A of the water faucet disposing portion 35 are screwed together, the spindle 42 causes the water faucet of the faucet body 31 by the screw mechanism. The inside of the arrangement part 35 is lowered.

  That is, since the spindle 42 and the rod 43 move downward as the operation knob 60 rotates clockwise, the valve portion 39 of the valve body 40 is moved to the faucet body as the rod 43 is lowered. 31 is in contact with the valve seat 37A to close the water passage hole 37, the valve body 40 descends against the water pressure and closes the water passage hole 37, and the inlet chamber 31A and the outlet chamber The communication with 31B is cut off, and the supply of tap water from the faucet 32 is stopped (see FIG. 3).

  Instead of the faucet body 31 described above, the present invention can be applied to a faucet body 71 as shown in FIG. In this case, the inlet side of the faucet body 71 is connected and connected from above to a faucet communicating with the outlet side or the outlet side of the faucet body of a mixed faucet (a faucet for mixing tap water and hot water) upside down. It is a configuration.

  The faucet body 31 shown in FIG. 3 is arranged side by side so that both the inlet chamber 31A and the outlet chamber 31B defined by the partition wall 31C extend in the horizontal direction, as shown in FIG. In the embodiment, the inlet chamber 71A is defined by a partition wall 71C in which a water passage hole 77 is formed and a standing valve seat 77A is formed at the peripheral edge of the upper end forming the opening portion of the water passage hole 77. The outlet chamber 71B is disposed below the partition wall 71C and extends in the vertical direction, and the outlet chamber 71B is disposed above the partition wall 71C and is disposed so as to extend in the horizontal direction. The other structure is the same as that shown in FIG. 3, and the operation thereof is also the same, and the description thereof is omitted here.

  Note that the valve body 40, the nut 51, the seal 50, and the washer 48 in the above embodiment are generally provided in a normal water faucet device, and in the embodiment of the present invention, These existing parts can be used effectively.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, tap water can be supplied by a user turning the operation knob 60 by hand, and water can be supplied by operating the stepping operation device 2 with a foot. A faucet device capable of supplying water can be provided.

  Accordingly, when supplying the tap water by operating the stepping operation device 2, it is not necessary to use a hand. Therefore, when the hand is dirty, the operation knob 60 is not soiled and is hygienic. is there.

  Further, by adjusting the stepping amount of the stepping plate 13C of the pedal 13 of the stepping operation device 2, the amount of tap water supplied can be adjusted by adjusting the degree of opening of the water passage hole 37.

  Furthermore, since the operation knob 60 can be rotated to supply tap water, the user can store water in a bucket or the like without being at the place.

  Since the faucet device 1 is mechanical, it does not require a power source, there is no fear of power failure, and it does not use power supply equipment, so it is inexpensive.
