The guide member 80 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, a guide member 80 as a guide portion is connected to a vertical wall portion 81 having a horizontally long rectangular shape and a lower end portion of the vertical wall portion 81, and also has a vertical wall portion. And a lateral wall portion 82 extending in a direction intersecting with 81. The guide member 80 has a sloping wall portion 83 that is connected to an end of the horizontal wall portion 82 opposite to the vertical wall portion 81 side and that is inclined obliquely upward with respect to the horizontal wall portion 82. The tip end side of the slanted wall portion 83 has a tapered shape. Specifically, the slanted wall portion 83 is configured to have a trapezoidal shape. At the upper end of the vertical wall portion 81, a key claw portion 84 extending in the thickness direction of the vertical wall portion 81 and in the direction opposite to the direction in which the horizontal wall portion 82 extends is provided. Two key claw portions 84 are provided at a predetermined distance on the longitudinal center side of the vertical wall portion 81. The lengths of the vertical wall portion 81, the horizontal wall portion 82, and the sloping wall portion 83 on the base end side, that is, the length T in the longitudinal direction of the guide member 80 is the inner diameter S of the opening 22b in the cover 22 of the faucet body 20. (See FIG. 3) The length is the same as or slightly longer. The length T in the longitudinal direction of the guide member 80 is configured to be the same as or slightly longer than the outer diameter of the upper end of the cover 22 of the faucet body 20, that is, the outer diameter of the reduced diameter portion 22a.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the slanted wall portion 83 has an inclination angle θ1 of 42 ° with respect to the lateral wall portion 82 and an inclination angle θ2 of 312 ° with respect to the vertical wall portion 81. Since the vertical wall portion 81, the horizontal wall portion 82, and the slanted wall portion 83 are arranged at the angles as described above, the guiding member 80 has a U-shaped groove shape whose cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is U-shaped. Become. Here, the “groove shape having a U-shaped cross section” includes a shape having a groove whose upper side is open, and includes, for example, a V-shape, a U-shape whose upper side is open, and the like. I shall.

A method of attaching the guide member 80 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 7, and 8, the key claw portion 84 of the guide member 80 is hooked on the upper surface 71 a of the holding member 70. In this state, when the holding member 70 is attached to the top plate portion 60 of the handle body 50 as described above, a gap is formed between the lower surface 61d of the bottom wall 61b in the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60 and the upper surface 71a of the holding member 70. The key claw portion 84 is clamped. Further, the vertical wall portion 81 of the guide member 80 is sandwiched between one of the opposing walls 65 provided on the bottom wall 61b of the handle body 50 and the body portion 71 of the holding member 70, and the cylinder of the handle body 50. The state is along the axial direction of the body portion 31.

Further, by inserting the screw 40 into the insertion hole 63 of the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60 and screwing the screw 40 into the screw hole 21a of the operation shaft 21 held by the holding member 70, the faucet handle 30 becomes a guide member. It is fixed to the faucet body 20 with 80 provided. In this state, the guide member 80 is arranged below the through hole 64, which is a drain hole.

The operation of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, since the guide member 80 has the slanted wall portion 83, the liquid that has passed through the through hole 64 can be received by the slanted wall portion 83, as shown by the arrow in the figure. Further, since the tip end of the slant wall portion 83 is tapered, the slant wall portion 83 can be arranged along the inner circumference of the tubular body portion 31 of the handle body 50. Therefore, it becomes possible to receive the liquid more reliably. Furthermore, since the tip of the inclined wall portion 83 is inclined obliquely upward, the guide member 80 is prevented from interfering with the faucet body 20 when the faucet handle 30 is operated.

  Further, since the inclination angle θ2 of the slant wall portion 83 is 312 °, even if the lever portion 32 of the faucet handle 30 is operated to the lower front side (lower side in FIG. 9), The wall surface is maintained in a state where the front end side is inclined obliquely upward. Therefore, it is possible to prevent water from being discharged from the tip end side of the inclined wall portion 83. That is, it is preferable that the inclination angle θ2 of the inclined wall portion 83 be an angle with respect to the inclination of the faucet handle 30 so that the tip side is always inclined obliquely upward.

Further, since the guiding member 80 has a groove shape having a U-shaped cross section, the liquid received by the guiding member 80 can be guided more reliably to both ends 80a in the longitudinal direction of the guiding member 80.
As shown in FIG. 10, the guide member 80 is arranged such that the longitudinal center of the guide member 80 is close to the operation shaft 21 of the faucet body 20. Therefore, as shown by the arrow in the figure, the direction in which the liquid received by the guide member 80 is guided to the longitudinal ends 80a of the guide member 80 is the direction away from the operation shaft 21. In other words, the guide member 80 guides the liquid that has passed through the through hole 64 toward the outer peripheral side of the handle body 50. The length T of the guide member 80 in the longitudinal direction is equal to or slightly longer than the inner diameter S of the opening 22b on the upper end side of the cover 22 of the faucet body 20, regardless of the inclination of the faucet handle 30. The liquid discharged from both ends 80a in the longitudinal direction of the guide member 80 is configured to be discharged to the outside of the opening 22b on the upper end side of the cover 22 of the faucet body 20.

The effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) The handle main body 50 has a through hole 64 that connects the upper surface 61c side and the lower surface 61d side of the bottom wall 61b in the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60, and the through hole is formed on the lower surface 61d side of the bottom wall 61b. A guide member 80 that guides the liquid that has passed through 64 in a direction away from the operation shaft 21 is provided.

  By providing the guide member 80 that guides the liquid that has passed through the through hole 64 in the direction away from the operation shaft 21, it is possible to prevent the liquid from entering the ceramic cartridge 23 located below the handle body 50. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operation of the operation shaft 21 from becoming heavy due to the liquid entering the ceramic cartridge 23.

  (2) The guide member 80 is horizontally long and has a U-shaped groove cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the guiding member 80 can more reliably guide the liquid that has passed through the through hole 64 in a direction away from the operation shaft 21.

  (3) The guide member 80 is configured separately from the handle body 50. Therefore, the guide member 80 can be retrofitted to the handle body 50, so that the guide member 80 can be efficiently provided.

  (4) A holding member 70 that is detachably attached to the lower surface 60b side of the top plate portion 60 of the handle body 50 to hold the operation shaft 21 is provided, and the guide member 80 is the bottom wall of the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60. It is sandwiched between the lower surface 61d of 61b and the upper surface 71a of the holding member 70. Therefore, the guide member 80 can be easily attached to the handle body 50.

  (5) Since the through hole is not provided around the screw hole in the water faucet handle of the related art, when the liquid enters the periphery of the screw hole, the screw may be in a state of being immersed in the liquid. . On the other hand, in the faucet handle 30 of the present embodiment, since the insertion hole 63 into which the screw 40 is inserted and the through hole 64 as the drainage hole are provided in the same recessed portion 61, the screw 40 becomes liquid. It is possible to suppress the immersion.

The present embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The present embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
The tubular body portion 31 of the faucet handle 30 is not limited to the cylindrical shape. For example, it may be configured in a rectangular tube shape or an elliptic tube shape. Similarly, the top plate portion 60 of the faucet handle 30 is not limited to a disc shape, and may be formed in a rectangular shape or an elliptical shape.

  The holding member 70 of the faucet handle 30 is not limited to the configuration that is detachably attached to the bottom wall 61b of the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60. For example, the holding member 70 may be provided as a holding portion integrally formed with the top plate portion 60. In addition, the holding member 70 may be formed separately from the top plate portion 60 and then joined to the bottom wall 61b of the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60 in a non-removable manner.

  The fixing member is not limited to the screw 40. A member that can fix the handle body 50 to the faucet body 20 can be appropriately adopted. For example, a member that can fix the handle main body 50 to the faucet main body 20 by fitting the handle main body 50 into the operation shaft 21 by force fitting may be used.

  The position of the insertion hole 63 through which the fixing member is inserted is not limited to the bottom wall 61b in the recess 61 of the top plate portion 60.

Further, the distal end side may be formed in a curved shape so as to follow the inner circumference of the tubular body portion 31 of the handle body 50.

In the present embodiment, the vertical wall portion 81 of the guide member 80 has a rectangular shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. The vertical wall portion 81 may be partially provided with a notch.
As shown in FIG. 11, the guide member 80 may have rectangular ears 85 that hang down obliquely at both ends of the lateral wall 82. Since the ears 85 are formed, it is possible to prevent the liquid flowing through the groove-shaped portion from staying in the guide member 80 due to the surface tension of the liquid. That is, since the ears 85 are formed, the liquid can be smoothly discharged. Further, the ear portion 85 may be brought into contact with the inner circumference of the cylindrical body portion 31 of the handle body 50 so that the liquid is discharged along the inner circumference of the cylindrical body portion 31.

  -As shown in Drawing 12, guidance member 80 may be constituted by connecting slant wall part 86 which slanted slantingly downward to the lower end part of vertical wall part 81. In this configuration, as shown by the arrow in the figure, the liquid received by the slanted wall portion 86 is guided along the inclination of the slanted wall portion 86 in the direction away from the operation shaft 21, and at the tip side of the slanted wall portion 86. It is also configured to be discharged from.

  The handle body 50 of the faucet handle 30 is not limited to the configuration including the cylindrical body portion 31, the top plate portion 60, and the lever portion 32. For example, the handle main body 50 may include the top plate portion 60 and the lever portion 32 without the tubular body portion 31. Further, the handle body 50 may not have the lever portion 32. That is, if the top plate portion 60 also functions as the lever portion 32, the lever portion 32 can be omitted.
