BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a branch faucet which divides water into a faucet and a water purifier in a sink and can stop supplying water to the water purifier.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as shown in FIG. 3, water supplied from a water supply pipe (not shown) projecting upward from a deep part of a top plate of a sink 1 is divided into a faucet 2 and a water purifier 7. A lower end of a T-shaped joint 3 is connected to the water supply pipe, a faucet 2 is connected to an upper end of the T-shaped joint 3 via an elbow 4, and a water purifier 7 is connected to a side end via a pipe 6. A valve 5 is interposed in the middle of the pipe 6, and the valve 5 is opened and closed so that water can be supplied to the water purifier 7 only when necessary.

[0003]

However, according to the above-described branching method, since many members must be connected, the connecting work is troublesome, and the connecting portion becomes unsightly, and the connecting portion is difficult to see. There was also a risk of water leakage.

[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to reduce the number of connection points associated with water distribution.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an inflow port at a lower end of a tubular body erected on a top plate of a sink, and a first outflow port at a lower portion of an outer periphery. The second outlet is formed in each of the rotary cylinders rotatably provided at the upper end, and a valve device for opening and closing between the cylindrical body and the second outlet is provided.

[0006]

With the branch faucet constructed as described above, the water supplied from the inflow port can be branched to the first outflow port and the second outflow port. The outlet can be directed in any direction with respect to the first outlet.

[0007] Therefore, at the time of the connection work for water distribution in the sink, the tubular body is erected on the top plate of the sink, and the second outlet is directed in an appropriate direction with respect to the first outlet, and the inlet is opened. It is only necessary to connect a water supply pipe to each of the first and second outlets, and it is not necessary to use a T-shaped joint or an elbow.

When connected in this way, the equipment connected to the first outlet is always supplied with water, and the equipment connected to the second outlet is supplied with water and shut off as the valve device is opened and closed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, an inlet 12 is formed at the lower end of the cylindrical body 11, and a first outlet 24 is provided at a lower part of the outer periphery. A rotary cylinder 34 is rotatably provided at the upper part of the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 11, and the second outlet 13 is formed in the rotary cylinder 34.

The rotary cylinder 34 has a pin 33 projecting from the inner peripheral surface toward the center.
By being engaged with the annular groove 32 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 11, the cylindrical body 11 is prevented from falling off. An O-ring 31 for preventing water leakage is provided between the cylindrical body 11 and the rotary cylinder 34.

A valve device 14 is provided at the upper end of the cylindrical body 11. The valve device 14 has a first outlet 24 and a second outlet 24.
A fixed valve body 16 and a movable valve body 19 provided inside the tubular body 11 between the outflow ports 13 are provided. The fixed valve body 16 is pressed against the movable valve body 19 by the urging force of the spring 22, The movable valve element 19 is rotatable with respect to the fixed valve element 16 via a rotation shaft 18 in response to an operation of a lever 17 projecting upward from the cylindrical body 11. The fixed valve body 16 and the movable valve body 19 each have a plurality of through holes 20, 2 around the axis.
1 is formed.

In the valve device 14, the through holes 20, 21
Coincides with each other, the inside of the tubular body 11 and the second outlet 13 communicate with each other through the flow path 15 formed in the rotary cylinder 34, and the through hole 2
When the positions of 0 and 21 are shifted and the through hole 20 is closed by the movable valve body 19, the inside of the tubular body 11 and the second outlet 13 are shut off.

In the branch faucet, the water supplied from the inflow port 12 can be branched to the first outflow port 24 and the second outflow port 13 and the second water tap is rotated by the rotation of the rotary cylinder 34.
The outlet 13 can be directed in any direction with respect to the first outlet 24.

Therefore, in the sink A shown in FIG. 2, when water supplied from a water supply pipe (not shown) projecting upward from the back of the top plate is divided into the faucet B and the water purifier E, the inflow port 1 is provided.
2 is connected to the water supply pipe, the first outlet 24 is connected to the faucet B, the second outlet 13 is directed to the first outlet 24 in an appropriate direction, and the second outlet 13 is connected via the pipe D. Water purifier E
And it is not necessary to use a T-shaped joint or elbow.

With this connection, the faucet B is constantly supplied with water, and the water purifier E is supplied with the valve device 1 by operating the lever 17.
Water is supplied and stopped with the opening and closing of 4. Further, the opening degree of the valve device 14 can be changed by a slight rotation of the lever 17, and the amount of water supplied to the water purifier E can be adjusted.

When nothing is connected to the first outlet 24, the cap 25 may be closed by screwing in the cap 25.

[0018]

According to the branch faucet according to the present invention, as described above, the water supplied from the inlet can be branched to the first outlet and the second outlet, and with the rotation of the rotary cylinder. Since the second outlet can be directed in an arbitrary direction with respect to the first outlet, the connecting member is connected to the water outlet in the sink, and the cylindrical body is erected on the top plate of the sink to make the first outlet. It is only necessary to point the second outlet in an appropriate direction with respect to the outlet, connect a water supply pipe to the inlet, and connect each device to the first outlet and the second outlet, respectively, using a T-shaped joint or elbow. No need to do.

Therefore, complicated connection work is not required, the risk of water leakage is reduced, and the upper surface of the sink can be made to be excellent in appearance.

Further, by connecting in this manner, the equipment connected to the first outlet is always supplied with water, and the equipment connected to the second outlet is supplied with water by the opening and closing operation of the valve device. can do.

Further, in the above-mentioned valve device, the degree of overlap of the through holes of the respective valve elements is changed by the rotation of the movable valve element with respect to the fixed valve element accompanying the operation of the lever. The amount of water supply to the equipment connected to can be adjusted.
