[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

This invention is based on a holder provided on a top plate such as a sink, a sink, or a washbasin,
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shower head drawing device that supports a shower head so that it can be pulled out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a drawer of this type, a shower hose in a cabinet connected to a mixing faucet freely enters and exits the cabinet through a holder provided on a top plate or a washbasin. It is like that. For this reason, the seal between the holder and the shower hose that passes through the holder must be incomplete, and the water discharged from the shower head enters the cabinet by passing through the shower hose and into the interior. There was a defect that it would wet. Therefore, conventionally, for example, a shower hose is slackened in a cabinet and a water receiving container for accommodating the slack portion is mounted in the cabinet to receive water that has entered through the shower hose. Was like that.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional device, the water receiving container must be mounted in a narrow cabinet, which requires not only a difficult operation but also the mounting of the water receiving container in the cabinet. There was a defect that it became narrower. In addition, the water stored in the water receiving container makes the inside of the cabinet damp and causes an unpleasant odor, and it is troublesome to periodically drain the water. In spite of this, even if the water receiving container and a drain pipe such as a sink are directly connected to each other so that water is not stored in the water receiving container, a jump in cost is not avoided.

[0004] The present invention has been devised in view of such a conventional problem.
By improving the sealing property inside the holder, water intrusion into the cabinet is prevented, thereby eliminating the need for mounting a water receiving container, etc., and eliminating the above-mentioned conventional defects of the shower head. A drawer device is provided.

[0005]

A drawer for a shower head according to the present invention has the following structure to achieve the above object. That is, the shower hose in the cabinet connected to the mixing faucet is extended out of the cabinet via a holder on a top plate or a washbasin, which is formed integrally with or separately from the mixing faucet. Attach a shower head to the tip of the extended shower hose,
The shower head is supported by the holder so that it can be pulled out. In the holder, a cover hose that can freely expand and contract and bendable is attached in such a manner that it cannot be pulled out and that the gap between the holder and the inner peripheral surface can be closed to the cabinet. The distal end of the cover hose is connected to the base of the shower head. Then, the shower hose is inserted through the inside of the cover hose, and the holder discharges intrusion water entering from a gap between an inner peripheral surface of the holder and an outer peripheral surface of the cover hose to the outside of the holder. Provide drainage means such as drain holes.

[0006]

[Function] When the shower hose is pulled out with the shower head in hand, the cover hose is also pulled out from the holder.
The cover hose is flexible and bendable, so that the shower head can be used by freely moving it. When finished, return the shower head to the holder,
Push in the shower hose. The cover hose shrinks and fits inside the holder. During use of the shower, water entering through a gap between the inner peripheral surface of the holder and the outer peripheral surface of the cover hose is drained out of the holder through drainage means such as a drain hole provided in the holder.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a single-lever type hand shower dedicated mixing faucet which is installed on a top plate 2 such as a sink. There is provided a holder 6 for supporting the drawer 5 so that it can be pulled out. A lever handle 7, which drives the valve mechanism to adjust the discharge flow rate and mixing ratio of hot and cold water, is attached to the upper part of the stopper body 3. Thus, the water and hot water fed into the stopper via the water supply pipe 8 and the hot water supply pipe 9 are mixed to a desired temperature by operating the lever handle 7, and the water supply pipe 11 is extended into the cabinet 10.
Will be sent to

[0008] A shower hose 12 made of a bendable metal pipe is connected to the water supply pipe 11 via a joint member (not shown). The shower hose 12 is loosened in the cabinet 10 and extends out of the cabinet via the holder 6, and has a distal end having a shower head capable of switching between shower discharge and rectification discharge. 5 is attached.

As shown in FIG. 2, the holder 6 has a hollow shape comprising a main body 6a and a socket 6b mounted on the main body 6a and having a serration formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end. The inner diameter is gradually reduced toward the distal end. An inward flange 13 is provided inside the base portion of the main body 6a, and a locking step portion 14 is provided inside the body portion 6a slightly closer to the distal end portion. Further, around the point where the inward flange 13 is provided, the intrusion water entering through a gap between the inner peripheral surface of the holder 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the cover hose 15 described below is guided to the outside of the holder 6. A draining means 16 such as a drain hole for discharging the water is provided.

The cover hose 15 has a bellows shape which can freely expand and contract and bend, and has an outward flange 17 formed at the base end. When the outward flange 17 comes into contact with the inward flange 13 in the holder 6,
The falling of the cover hose 15 is prevented, and the outward flange 17 abuts on the locking step 14, so that the cover hose 15 is prevented from coming off. Moreover, the outward flange 17 is connected to the inward flange 1.
By contacting the holder 3, the gap between the holder 6 and the inner peripheral surface of the holder 6 blocks passage into the cabinet 10, thereby preventing water from entering.

On the other hand, the shower head 5 has a serration formed on the inner peripheral surface of the base 5a, and can be detachably mounted on the holder 6 by the serration coupling. The cover hose 15 extends into the base 5a of the shower head 5, and a fastening ring 19 is fastened to an outward flange 18 formed at the distal end thereof, so that the cover hose 15 is connected to the base 5a. I have. The shower hose 12 communicating with the mixing faucet 1
Passes through the holder 6 so as to pass through the inside of the cover hose 15 and extends into the base 5a of the shower head 5, and includes a fixing ring 20, a flanged cylindrical spacer 2
1, connected via a connection bush 22 and a driving socket 23 and the like.

Next, a description will be given of a method of using the drawer for a shower head having such a configuration and its operation. To use the shower, first, the discharge section of the shower head 2 is switched to the shower discharge. Then, the user operates the lever handle 7 to discharge mixed water having a desired hot water temperature from the discharge section. When the shower hose 12 is pulled out with the shower head 5 in hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the cover hose 15 is also drawn out from the holder 6 so as to extend. At this time, the cover hose 15 moves inside the holder 6, and when its outward flange 17 comes into contact with the locking step 14 inside the holder 6, further movement is prevented, and Is prevented from coming off. As described above, the cover hose 15 can be extended and contracted and bendable, so that the shower head 5 can be used by freely moving.

When the use is completed, the lever handle 7 is operated again to stop the discharge of the shower. Then, the shower head 5 is returned to the holder 6, and the shower hose 12 is pushed into the cabinet 10. The cover hose 15 is also pushed into the holder 6 in a contracted manner, and the outward flange 17 abuts on the inward flange 13 in the holder 6 to prevent the cover hose 15 from dropping. In addition, the contact between the outward flange 17 and the inward flange 13 can completely prevent a gap formed between the inner peripheral surface of the holder 6 and the inside of the cabinet 10 from flowing. Therefore, during use of the shower, water that enters through the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the holder 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the cover hose 15 does not enter the cabinet 10 but passes through drainage means 16 such as a drain hole. Although the water is drained out of the holder 6, there is no problem because the top plate 2 only gets wet.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above. For example, the outward flange 17 of the cover hose 15 may be fixed to the inward flange 13 of the holder 6 or an inner flange 13 thereof by an appropriate fixing means. By fixing the base end of the cover hose 15 so that the cover hose 15 cannot move in the holder 6 such as by fixing the hose to the peripheral surface,
May not be removed from the holder 6. Means for closing the gap between the inner circumferential surface of the holder and the cover hose 15 so as not to communicate with the cabinet 10 may be realized by various methods and structures.
It is not necessary to use 17 or the like. Further, the drainage means 16 may be one in which a plug is attached to the drain hole.

In this embodiment, the holder 6
Although the example which is integrally molded with the mixing faucet 1 has been described,
The mixing faucet 1 and the holder 6 may be formed separately from the mixing faucet 1. Further, the mixing faucet 1 and the holder 6 may be attached not only to the top plate of the sink but also to a wash bowl of a (washing) sink. The configuration of each unit can be arbitrarily changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention is constructed as described above, so that the sealing performance inside the holder can be improved to prevent water from entering the cabinet, and water entering the holder can be prevented. Can be easily drained out of the holder. For this reason, unlike before,
Since there is no need to install a water receiving container inside the cabinet, the inside of the cabinet can be widely used, and it is troublesome that the intruding water collected in the water receiving container dive into the narrow cabinet is periodically collected. No work is required.
