BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a faucet suitable for multipurpose sinks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, multipurpose sinks for washing a mop or the like for cleaning or for other various purposes have been installed in general households and the like in recent years.

Conventionally, a water faucet for the multipurpose sink shown in FIG. 4 has been widely used.

This faucet is of a type with a wall, and a faucet main body 1 is provided.
00 is fixed to the wall surface via a C-shaped mounting leg 102, and a long water outlet 104 protrudes greatly from the faucet main body 100.

[0005]

However, in this faucet, a complicatedly shaped mounting leg 102 protrudes from a wall surface, and at the tip of the mounting leg 102, a faucet main body 100 forms a complicated gap between the faucet and the wall surface. Since the water faucet 104 is located in the formed state and the water outlet 104 protrudes long from the faucet main body 100, the appearance of the faucet itself and the peripheral part of the faucet on the wall surface become complicated.

[0006] In particular, when installing a multipurpose sink and a faucet according to general households and the like, it is desired to make the space around the installation clear, and in this respect, the conventional faucet is not sufficiently satisfactory. Was.

In the case of a faucet in which the faucet body 100 is fixed via the mounting legs 102, there is also a problem that dirt easily adheres to the mounting legs 102 and that cleaning is difficult.

In the case of this faucet, when the spout 104 is rotated to be brought close to the wall, the spout 104 protrudes largely from the faucet body 100 in the lateral direction (projects).
There is also a problem that there is no particular difference in the complexity when the spout is protruding forward.

Although it is possible to solve this problem to some extent by shortening the length of the spout 104, in this case, when the spout 104 is protruded forward when the faucet is used, the protruding length of the spout 104 is reduced. Insufficient water can be discharged into the space in front of the sink or into the space on both the left and right sides.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The faucet of the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and the gist of the invention is that the faucet body is fixed directly and closely to the wall surface. It has a box shape, an arm is extended from the faucet main body, and a hook for locking a water discharge head connected to the faucet main body via a flexible hose is provided at a tip of the arm. And the arm is rotatably connected to the left-right end of the faucet main body at the base end, and the length of the arm is equal to or less than the left-right length of the faucet main body. A storage space for storing the arm is formed on the plug body itself or on the upper or lower side thereof.

[0011]

As described above, the faucet of the present invention has a box-shaped faucet body as described above, and has conventionally caused the faucet shape and the space around the faucet mounting portion to be complicated. The faucet main body is directly fixed to the wall surface without any intervening mounting legs.

Therefore, the protrusion of the faucet main body from the wall surface is reduced, and a complicated gap or the like is not formed on the back side of the faucet main body. It will be neat.

[0013] Further, it is possible to prevent dirt from being attached to the mounting leg portion to cause a deterioration in aesthetic appearance, and the cleaning property is improved.

The faucet of the present invention is characterized in that the spout does not extend directly from the faucet body, the arm extends from the faucet body, and the spout head is locked and held by a hook at the tip thereof. I have. Therefore, the faucet of the present invention can bring the water discharge head to an arbitrary position by using the water discharge head off the hook.

Therefore, when the present invention is applied to a multi-purpose sink faucet, water can be discharged to the front part of the sink, to the left and right side parts, or to any position in the lower back part near the bottom of the sink. .

The faucet of the present invention has a box-shaped faucet body as described above, and is fixed to a wall surface in close contact.
Therefore, when the arm extending from the faucet main body is turned to be brought close to the wall side, the arm can be exactly brought close to the wall surface, and can be vertically overlapped with the faucet main body.

Moreover, the arm of the faucet of the present invention does not extend from the center portion of the faucet body, but extends from the end in the left-right direction of the faucet body so as to be rotatable.

In addition, since the length of the arm is equal to or less than the length of the faucet body in the left-right direction, the arm protrudes from the faucet body when the arm is moved toward the wall side (when stored). Instead, the faucet has a neat appearance in the stored state.

In addition, in the faucet of the present invention, a space such as a cutout for accommodating the arm is formed in the faucet body itself or above or below the faucet itself, and the arm can be accommodated in this space. it can.

This makes the faucet look better,
In addition, the surrounding space of the faucet installation part becomes neat.

On the other hand, in the case of the faucet of the present invention, when the arm is rotated forward, the arm can protrude greatly.

Since the arm is connected to the left and right ends of the faucet main body, it is possible to increase the length of the arm in the stored state while preventing the arm from protruding from the faucet main body.

In the present invention, the length of the arm is equal to or less than the length of the faucet body in the left-right direction when the protruding amount of the arm with the arm stored is at most 10% of the faucet body as a reference. Say if you have.
