JP2517368Y2 - Shower hose guide structure for hair wash vanity - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a hair wash or vanity incorporating a hand shower, and more particularly to a guide structure for guiding a shower hose to a tray for receiving water.

[Conventional technology]

The vanity table is generally provided with a fixed hot and cold water mixing tap and the like, but in recent years, those incorporating a hand shower in order to be able to wash hair and the like have come into wide use. This hand shower has a holder fixed on a wash basin and is detachable from the holder, and has a configuration in which a hose penetrating the holder is housed in a cabinet. And
The hose is connected to a hot-water mixer tap or the like, and has a loop so that the hand shower can be extracted from the holder and used. An example of such a vanity is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-28481.

When installing a hose in a cabinet, water after using a solder shower will fall down the surface of this hose. For this reason, a seal is provided on the holder, or a tray for receiving water is provided in the cabinet as described in the above-mentioned publication. In this tray, the hose that draws the loop is dropped and stored, and the droplets that travel along the hose are collected and drained periodically.

In order to supply hot water to a hand shower, an electric water heater is installed in a cabinet and is connected to a hot and cold water mixing tap to be widely used when there is no hot water supply facility nearby. On the other hand, it is preferable that the hand shower is provided at a position deviated to the left or right rather than the center of the washbasin, which is one design criterion.

If the electric water heater occupies about half of the inside of the cabinet, the tray cannot be installed directly under the hand shower if the hand shower is installed directly above the electric water heater. For this reason, for example, as shown in the official gazette, in order to guide the shower hose to the tray, a sleeve-shaped hose guide is provided from the washbasin to the tray, and the shower hose is passed through the hose guide to prevent the drop from dropping. There is.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, the hose guide can be assembled only by connecting the upper end of the hose guide to a cylindrical shower holder fixed on the washbasin. Therefore, assembling the hose guide itself and the shower holder is complicated, and disassembling work for inspection and parts replacement is troublesome, which is a problem for general household use. Further, since the lower end of the hose guide is a free end simply by inserting it into the tray, misalignment easily occurs when the shower hose is taken in and out. Therefore, there is a possibility that the shower hose cannot be pulled out smoothly, which is a problem in terms of usability.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily install and disassemble a hose guide and to stably guide a shower hose.

[Means for solving the problem]

According to the present invention, an electric water heater for hot water supply is housed in a cabinet, and a hose of a shower head is drawn in a loop in the cabinet to connect to a supply passage on the electric water heater side. In a hair wash vanity provided with a tray for storing a tray and a guide for guiding the hose to the tray, a lower end portion of the guide is fixed to the cabinet or an electric water heater, and a lower end opening of the guide is the tray. It is characterized by being exposed to the inside.

[Action]

Since the lower end of the hose guide is fixed using the cabinet itself or an electric water heater for hot water supply incorporated in this, even if there is whirling when the hose moves, compared to the case where the lower end of the guide is a free end. The guide does not sway and the hose can move quickly. Also,
Since the guide is fixed to the tray independently of the tray, vibrations and the like transmitted to the guide when the hose moves are not transmitted to the tray, and the load on the tray is reduced.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a cutaway front view of a vanity table incorporating the water receiving tray of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of essential parts.

In the figure, a cabinet 10 for a vanity is composed of left and right side plates 10a and 10b, a bottom plate 10c and a back plate 10d, and a front door (not shown). A basin 11 is fixed to the upper end of the cabinet 10, and a drain pipe 11a is projected downward from a position slightly deviated to the right from the center and connected to a drain adapter 11b provided on a bottom plate 10c. A hot and cold water mixing plug 12 is fixed to the upper end of the washbasin 11, and a spout 12a is projected toward a ball and then water is discharged by operating the opening / closing handle 12b. Further, a temperature setting handle 12c having an automatic temperature adjusting function is provided in the central portion.

On the left side inside the cabinet 10, an electric water heater 13 which occupies about half of the frontage is installed. A supply pipe 14 connected to a water supply pipe of the building is connected to the electric water heater 13, and a water supply pipe 15 branched and directly connected to the water supply pipe 16 and a hot water supply pipe 16 passing through an internal heat exchanger are connected to a hot and cold water mixing tap 12. There is piping between.

Further, a hand-type shower head 1 is provided on the left side of the hot and cold water mixing tap 12. The shower head 1 has a straight tubular slider portion 1a penetrating the holder 2 fixed to the basin 11, and can be used by being pulled up to a position where the lower end flange abuts against the lower surface of the holder 2. Alternatively, a hose may be directly connected to the shower head 1 instead of the slider portion 1a, and the hose may be pulled out of the holder and used while holding the shower head 1 in a hand.

One end of a hose 3 is connected to the lower end of the slider portion 1a,
The other end of the hose 3 is directly connected to the hot and cold water mixing plug 12. In addition,
The spout 12a of the shower head 1 and the hot and cold water mixing tap 12 is spouted and stopped by the opening / closing handle 12b, and the spouting form from the shower head 1 is a valve mechanism provided at the spouting end.
1b can be used by switching to a shower water discharge and a foam shower by the handle 1c. Further, the temperature adjustment uses the temperature setting handle 12c in common.

On the right side of the electric water heater 13, there is provided a tray 4 for accommodating the hose 3 in a loop and collecting the drops. The tray 4 has a container shape with an open upper end as shown in FIG.
Clip the drain hose 4a on the front side as shown in Fig. 3.
Stop at 4b, and periodically drain this drain hose 4a to drain the accumulated water. On the other hand, a hanger 13a for hanging the tray 4 is provided on the side surface of the electric water heater 13, and the hanger 13a is passed through the hole 4c formed in the side wall of the tray 4 to make the tray 4
Is attached to the side surface of the electric water heater 13. In FIG. 3 (b), 13b is an expansion water drain pipe connected to the electric water heater 13, and is connected to the drain adapter 11b to discharge the expansion water.

Further, the guide 5 for guiding the hose 3 from the holder 2 to the tray 4 is fixed by using the electric water heater 13.
FIG. 4 shows the details of the guide 5, and FIG.
As shown in, the slider portion 1a of the shower head 1 is provided at the upper end.
A large-diameter portion 5a having an inner diameter approximately twice as large as that of the tray 4 is formed, and has a length such that the large-diameter portion 5a is gently bent from the lower end thereof and is slightly immersed in the upper end portion of the tray 4. Then, an L-shaped flange 5b is formed at the lower end of the guide 5 so as to be mounted on a corner of the upper end of the electric water heater 13, and the guide 5 is fixed to the electric water heater 13 by passing a screw 5d through a hole 5c formed therein. . Since the lower end of the guide 5 is fixed on the electric water heater 13 as described above, it is not necessary to connect the upper end to the holder 2 of the shower head 1 or the lower surface of the washbasin 11 to fix it. Since the flange 5b of the guide 5 projects from the side wall of the electric water heater 13, a notch is provided at the upper end of the tray 4 corresponding to the flange 5b so that the tray 4 can be fitted along the side surface of the electric water heater 13 exactly. .

In the above configuration, when the shower head 1 is taken in and out, the hose 3 is guided by the guide 5 to move quickly, and the water that has propagated through the hose 3 after use is dropped from the guide 5 to the tray 4. Further, since the guide 5 is fixed to the electric water heater 13, the lower end of the guide 5 does not rock even if the hose 3 is pulled out hard. For this reason, the hose 3 can be constantly moved in a stable manner, and light usability can be obtained. Further, since the guide 5 is fixed to the electric water heater 13 and the lower end thereof faces the inside of the tray 4, compared to the conventional case where the upper end of the guide 5 is fixed and the tray 4 side is a free end. The guide 5 is not shaken to the outside of the tray 4, and water leakage can be surely prevented.

Further, since the guide 5 and the tray 4 are fixed by using the electric water heater 13 incorporated in the cabinet 10, no special member is required for fixing the guide 5 and the tray 4. Therefore, the volume in the cabinet 10 having a limited size is also reduced, and the piping space for water supply, drainage, etc. is not hindered. Further, the flange 5b of the guide 5 is fixed to the upper end of the side surface of the electric water heater 13 with the screw 5d, so that even when the guide 5 is replaced, the work can be detached without deeply diving a person into the cabinet 10. Therefore, as compared with the conventional case where the upper end of the guide 5 is fixed to the holder 2 of the shower head 1 or the lower surface of the washbasin 11 at the back side of the electric water heater 13, replacement and maintenance / inspection of the guide 5 are easier. Becomes
It is suitable for general households.

Thus, by fixing the guide 5 using the electric water heater 13, not only can the hose 3 be guided lightly, but also the guide 5 itself can be easily assembled and disassembled.

Further, the guide 5 and the tray 4 may be fixed not only by using the electric water heater 13 but also by using the side plates 10a and 10b of the cabinet 10 or by using a partition wall or the like that is erected on the bottom plate 10c. For example, the guide 5 cannot be fixed to the electric water heater 13 when the shower head 1 and the electric water heater 13 are located at different positions in the front direction. Therefore, the side plates 10a, 10b close to the shower head 1 may be used, or if necessary, a partition plate or the like may be incorporated to fix the guide 5 and the tray 4 thereto. In any case, the lower end of the guide 5 is immersed in the tray 4 with respect to the tray 4 fixed inside the cabinet 10, and the lower end of the guide 5 is installed in the cabinet 10 itself or a device incorporated therein. It may be fixed by using an installation or the like.

In the embodiment, the washstand is described as an example.
In addition, the water tray according to the present invention can be applied to a hair washer having a shower head and other facilities.

[Effect of device]

In the present invention, since the lower end of the hose guide is fixed to the cabinet itself or the electric water heater incorporated therein, the guide does not sway due to whirling of the hose, and the hose movement can be quickly guided. The shower head can be easily inserted and removed. Also,
Since the guide is fixed to the tray without any frame, vibrations of the hose and the guide are not transmitted to the tray at all, and the structure for attaching the tray can be simplified and the cabinet can be easily attached.
