Description

The present invention relates to a faucet handle and a faucet.

In general, a faucet handle is fixed to an operating shaft provided on a faucet main body so that it can be operated integrally with this operating shaft. For example, the faucet handle disclosed in Patent Literature 1 includes a housing recess opening in the axial direction of the operating shaft. Further, this faucet handle has a fixing portion for the operating shaft provided in the housing recess. Further, the faucet handle has a hole that communicates the inside and outside of the housing recess in the radial direction of the operating shaft whose shaft end is inserted into the housing recess. By using this hole, the operation shaft is fixed to the fixing portion provided in the housing recess.

As shown in FIG. 7, conventional faucet handles 60 include a bush 62 fitted to an operating shaft 61 of the faucet, and a handle body 63 to which the bush 62 is fixed. For example, the bushing 62 of this faucet handle 60 has a flexible elastic claw 64 . By fitting the operating shaft 61 in the axial direction, the elastic claw 64 engages with the end of the operating shaft 61 .

The handle body 63 of the faucet handle 60 includes a holding protrusion 66 provided inside a housing recess 65 that opens in the axial direction of the operating shaft 61, and a fitting member provided on the holding protrusion 66. and a recess 67 . In the conventional faucet handle 60, the flange 68 provided on the bush 62 is screwed onto the holding projection 66 in a state where the bush 62 is fitted in the fitting recess 67. It is configured to be screwed by a member 69 .

JP 2018-71082 A

In the conventional structure described above, a holding protrusion 66 is provided that protrudes into the housing recess 65 of the handle body 63 . The holding projection 66 is a portion for fixing the flange 68 of the bushing 62 to the handle body 63. However, when the holding projection 66 is provided, there is a problem that the faucet handle 60 becomes large. .

A faucet handle for solving the above problems is a faucet handle attached to an operating shaft of a faucet for use, comprising: a handle body provided with a housing recess for housing the operating shaft; a bush disposed between the handle body and fitted to the operating shaft and fixed to the handle body; and a holding projection protruding in the axial direction of the operating shaft in the housing recess of the handle body. The bush is provided with a bush main body having an inserted portion into which the operating shaft is inserted and a flange portion that abuts on the holding protrusion, and a member separate from the bush main body. a pawl member having a pawl portion that elastically engages with the outer peripheral surface of the operating shaft inserted into the portion.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the case of the conventional configuration in which the elastic claw 64 is formed integrally with the bush 62, the elastic claw 64 extends from the flange portion 68, which is a portion of the bush 62 fixed to the holding protrusion 66, to the operation shaft. 61 is formed in a shape extending to the tip side in the axial direction. This secures the flexibility and strength of the elastic claw 64 . However, in this case, the flange portion 68 is located at a position away from the claw portion 64a of the elastic claw 64 that engages with the operating shaft 61 toward the proximal end side of the operating shaft 61 in the axial direction, and the holding mechanism is held accordingly. It is necessary to make the protrusion 66 protrude greatly toward the base end side in the axial direction. As a result, the accommodation recess 65 in which the holding protrusion 66 is provided must be formed large in the axial direction, and the handle body 63 is enlarged.

On the other hand, in the above configuration, the bushing body having the flange fixed to the holding protrusion of the handle body and the pawl member are separate members. This makes it possible to independently design the position of the claw portion and the position of the collar portion of the claw member. Therefore, in the axial direction of the operating shaft, the flange portion can be arranged at a position closer to the claw portion of the claw member than in the conventional configuration. That is, the portion where the holding protrusion of the handle body and the flange of the bush abut can be arranged at a position close to the tip of the operating shaft. As a result, the axial length required for the housing recess of the handle body is shortened, making it easier to reduce the size of the handle body, especially in the axial direction.

In the above-mentioned faucet handle, the claw portion of the claw member is positioned at a position overlapping with the flange portion of the bush body in the axial direction of the operating shaft, or at a position closer to the proximal end of the operating shaft than the position. preferably. According to the above configuration, the effect of being able to downsize the handle body in the axial direction can be obtained more remarkably.

In the above faucet handle, it is preferable that the claw member is positioned by being sandwiched between the inner surface of the handle body and the bush body. According to the above configuration, the pawl member can be positioned without increasing the number of parts.

In the faucet handle described above, it is preferable that the pawl member is formed of a metal plate spring. According to the above configuration, strength can be ensured even when the claw member is formed thin. By adopting a thin pawl member, the length in the radial direction of the operating shaft required for the housing recess of the handle body can be shortened, making it easier to reduce the size of the handle body in the radial direction. .

In the faucet handle described above, it is preferable that the bush body is fixed to the handle body by screwing the flange to the holding protrusion.
When the bushing body is fixed to the handle body by screwing, the projection height of the holding projection is increased in order to secure the insertion allowance for the screw in the holding projection. Therefore, the collar portion fixed to the holding protrusion and the base end portion of the operating shaft are likely to interfere with each other. By adopting a configuration in which the bush body and the pawl member are separate members and the pawl portion is positioned at a position close to the flange portion in the axial direction, there is no need to insert the operation shaft deeper than the flange portion. Thereby, the distance between the collar portion and the base end portion of the operating shaft can be increased, and as a result, interference between the collar portion and the base end portion of the operating shaft can be suppressed.

A faucet that solves the above problems includes the above-described faucet handle.

According to the present invention, it is easy to reduce the size of the handle body of the faucet handle.

Specifically, the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 of the bush 30 elastically engages with the engagement groove 16a provided at the distal end portion of the operating shaft 16 inserted into the bush peripheral wall 32, thereby causing a so-called A snap fit engagement relationship is formed. Based on this engagement relationship, the faucet handle 17 is fixed to the operating shaft 16 of the faucet body 11 so as to be integrally rotatable and tiltable. In this embodiment, the bush peripheral wall 32 of the bush 30 corresponds to the inserted portion into which the operation shaft 16 is inserted.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 7, in the case of the conventional configuration in which the elastic claw 64 is formed integrally with the bush 62, the elastic claw 64 is operated from the flange portion 68, which is the portion fixed to the holding protrusion 66 of the bush 62. It is formed in a shape extending toward the tip end side of the shaft 61 in the axial direction (upper side in FIG. 7). This secures the flexibility and strength of the elastic claw 64 . However, in this case, the flange portion 68 is located at a position away from the claw portion 64a of the elastic claw 64 that engages with the operating shaft 61 toward the proximal end side of the operating shaft 61 in the axial direction, and the holding mechanism is held accordingly. It is necessary to make the protrusion 66 protrude greatly toward the base end side in the axial direction. As a result, the accommodation recess 65 in which the holding protrusion 66 is provided must be formed large, and the handle body 63 is enlarged.

On the other hand, in the faucet handle 17 of the present embodiment, regarding the bush 30, the bush body 31 having the flange portion 36 fixed to the holding protrusion 25 of the handle body 20 and the engagement groove of the operating shaft 16 A pawl member 40 that is elastically engaged with 16a is provided as a separate member. This makes it possible to independently design the position of the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 and the position of the collar portion 36 .

Therefore, in the axial direction, the flange portion 36 can be arranged at a position closer to the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 than in the conventional configuration. In other words, the tip surface 25a of the holding protrusion 25 and the upper surface 36b of the flange 36, which are the portions where the holding protrusion 25 of the handle body 20 and the flange 36 of the bush 30 abut, are positioned near the tip of the operating shaft 16. can be placed in As a result, the required axial length of the housing recess 23 of the handle body 20 is reduced, and the size of the handle body 20 can be easily reduced, especially in the axial direction.

Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) The faucet handle 17 is arranged between the handle main body 20 provided with the accommodation recess 23 for accommodating the operating shaft 16 and the operating shaft 16 and the handle main body 20, and is fitted to the operating shaft 16. A bush 30 fixed to the handle body 20 is provided. A holding projection 25 projecting in the axial direction is provided in the housing recess 23 of the handle body 20 . The bush 30 includes a bush body 31 having an inserted portion into which the operating shaft 16 is inserted and a flange portion 36 that abuts on the holding protrusion 25 . The bush 30 further includes a pawl member 40 which is provided as a separate member from the bush main body 31 and has a pawl portion 42 that elastically engages with the outer peripheral surface of the operating shaft 16 inserted into the inserted portion. .

According to the above configuration, the contact portion between the holding protrusion 25 of the handle body 20 and the flange 36 of the bush 30 can be arranged at a position close to the tip of the operating shaft 16 . As a result, the required axial length of the housing recess 23 of the handle body 20 is reduced, and the size of the handle body 20 can be easily reduced, especially in the axial direction.

(2) The claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 is positioned so as to overlap the flange portion 36 of the bush body 31 .
According to the above configuration, the effect that the handle body 20 can be miniaturized in the axial direction can be obtained more remarkably.

(3) The pawl member 40 is positioned by being sandwiched between the bottom surface of the fitting recess 26 , which is the inner surface of the handle body 20 , and the bush end wall 33 in the axial direction.
According to the above configuration, the claw member 40 can be positioned without increasing the number of parts. Moreover, the pawl member 40 can be positioned simultaneously with the operation of assembling the bush 30 to the handle body 20 .

(4) The pawl member 40 is composed of a metal plate spring.
According to the above configuration, the strength of the elastic piece portion 41 can be ensured even when the claw member 40 is formed thin. By adopting the thin pawl member 40, the length in the radial direction required for the accommodation recess 23 of the handle body 20 is shortened, and it becomes easy to reduce the size of the handle body 20 in the radial direction. .

(5) The bush body 31 is fixed to the handle body 20 by screwing the flange 36 onto the holding projection 25 .
When the bushing body 31 is fixed to the handle body 20 by screwing, the projection height of the holding projection 25 is increased in order to secure an insertion allowance for the screw member 50 in the holding projection 25 . Therefore, the flange portion 36 fixed to the holding protrusion 25 and the base end portion of the operating shaft 16 are likely to interfere with each other.

By adopting the configuration (1) above in the above configuration in which the fixing method is screwing, and positioning the claw portion 42 at a position close to the flange portion 36 in the axial direction, the operating shaft 16 is moved from the flange portion 36. There is no need to insert it deeply into the back side. Thereby, the distance between the flange portion 36 and the proximal end portion of the operating shaft 16 can be increased, and as a result, interference between the flange portion 36 and the proximal end portion of the operating shaft 16 can be suppressed.

(6) The bush peripheral wall 32, which is the inserted portion, consists of a first wall portion 32a provided with a window portion 34 in which the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 is arranged, and a second wall portion 32b not provided with the window portion 34. and In the housing recess 23 of the handle body 20, a pair of support walls projecting in the axial direction are positioned at a predetermined interval in a direction parallel to the tilting direction of the faucet handle 17 when the handle is tilted. 24 are provided. In the direction along the plane parallel to the tilting direction, the support wall 24 is brought into contact with the second wall portion 32b in which the window portion 34 is not provided.

According to the above configuration, when the faucet handle 17 is tilted, the second wall portion 32b, which is stronger than the first wall portion 32a in that the window portion 34 is not provided in the bush peripheral wall 32, is replaced. It can be supported by a support wall 24 . This improves the durability of the bush 30 against repeated tilting operations of the faucet handle 17 .

In addition, this embodiment can be changed and implemented as follows. This embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
- The positional relationship in the axial direction between the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 and the flange portion 36 of the bush body 31 may be changed. For example, the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 may be positioned closer to the proximal end of the operating shaft 16 than the position overlapping the flange portion 36 of the bush body 31 . In this case as well, the above effect (2) can be obtained. Further, the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 may be positioned closer to the distal end side of the operating shaft 16 than the position overlapping the flange portion 36 of the bush body 31 . In this case, the claw portion 42 of the claw member 40 is arranged as close to the flange portion 36 of the bush body 31 as possible.

- The method of fixing the bush body 31 to the handle body 20 is not limited to screwing. For example, the bushing body 31 may be fixed to the handle body 20 by providing an engagement structure such as an uneven relationship between the handle body 20 and the bushing body 31, or the bushing may be attached to the handle body 20 using an adhesive. The main body 31 may be fixed. Alternatively, a third member that engages with the handle body 20 and the bush body 31 may be provided, and the bush body 31 may be fixed to the handle body 20 via this third member. Regardless of which fixing method is employed, the bushing body 31 has a flange 36 on the distal end surface 25a of the holding protrusion 25 in order to suppress the faucet handle 17 from wobbling with respect to the operation shaft 16. It is fixed to the handle body 20 in a contacting state.

- The configuration for positioning the claw member 40 is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the claw member 40 may be positioned by fixing the claw member 40 to the bush body 31 by providing an engagement structure such as an uneven relationship between the claw member 40 and the bush body 31 . Alternatively, the claw member 40 may be positioned by bonding a portion of the claw member 40 such as the connecting portion 43 to the bush body 31 .

- The number of claw portions 42 provided on the claw member 40 may be one, or may be three or more. Moreover, the number of claw members 40 provided in the bush 30 may be two or more.
- The material constituting the claw member 40 is not particularly limited. For example, the claw member 40 made of resin or the claw member 40 made of rubber may be used.

If the configuration allows independent designing of the position of the claw portion 42 and the position of the collar portion 36 of the claw member 40, a specific method of dividing and assembling the bush body 31 and the claw member 40. is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and may be arbitrarily changed. Similarly, the shapes of the bush body 31 and the pawl member 40 may be changed arbitrarily.
