BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to faucet equipment for bathrooms and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The faucet equipment provided in a bathroom usually has a form as shown in FIG. A hose 104 extends, and a shower head 106 is connected to a tip of the hose 104. The shower head 106 is held by a hook 108 fixed to a wall.

However, in the case of this faucet facility, the water outlet 102 is used only as a water outlet and the shower head 106
Can be used only as a shower head, which is not always sufficient in terms of convenience.

[0004]

The faucet equipment of the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and the gist of the invention is that a flexible hose extends from the main body of the faucet. At its tip, a handy water discharge head that is switchable between a state in which the water flow is dispersed into a plurality of shower jets and a state in which the water jet is jetted as a single water flux is connected, and a discharge head that holds the water jet head in a locked state. A water outlet hook is provided, and the water outlet hook has (a) an arm protruding laterally from the wall surface side to the indoor side, and (b) a hook formed at a distal end portion of the arm and having a laterally open upper end. A stop hole, and (c) the arm,
A hose insertion concave portion provided at a root side of the locking hole and vertically penetrating the hose, wherein a portion of the hose following the water discharge head is inserted downward through the hose insertion concave portion; In the locking hole, the water discharge head is held in a horizontal position.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the handy water spouting head can be used as a shower head for dispersing a water flow into a plurality of showers and jetting out a shower, or as a spout for jetting the water flow as a single water flux. This greatly improves the convenience of the faucet.

When the water discharge head is used as a normal water discharge port, it is preferable to use the water discharge head with the water discharge port hook locked and held. In this case, generally, the water discharge port hook is connected to the faucet main body. It is desirable to arrange it on the lower side at a predetermined height from the floor surface.

In the present invention, the water outlet hook is provided on the arm protruding from the wall surface side to the indoor side, a locking hole formed laterally at the tip of the arm, and the arm near the base of the locking hole. The water discharge head is configured to hold the water discharge head sideways in the locking hole, and the water discharge opening (water discharge part) is directed downward like a normal water discharge port, so that the water flow is true. It can be ejected downward.

At this time, the portion of the hose following the water discharge head can be hung downward through the hose insertion recess,
Therefore, the weight of the hanging hose and the weight of the portion of the water discharge head protruding from the locking hole toward the tip can be well balanced before and after the horizontal locking hole, and the water discharging head can be stably held. can do.

In addition, since a hose generally provided with a sufficient length can be hung below the spout hook, compared to a case where such a hose must extend above the spout hook, The extra length of the hose can be naturally sagged naturally, that is, a natural stable state.Therefore, the extension of the extra length of the hose makes the support of the water discharge head unstable. Inconvenience can be avoided.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a mixing faucet installed in a bathroom, having a box-shaped faucet body 12 directly fixed to a wall surface 11, and two flexible hoses 14, 1
6 extend, and the water discharge heads 18 and 20 are connected to them respectively.

In this example, one of the water discharge heads 18 is a head dedicated to a shower, and the other is a water discharge head that can be switched between a shower head and a water outlet.

That is, the water discharge head 20 has a state in which the water flow from the water discharge section 26 becomes shower water dispersed into a plurality as shown in FIG. 3A, and one water flow as shown in FIG. The state can be switched to a state of a water flux.

The faucet body 12 has a water discharge head 1.
Operation units 22, 2 for discharging and stopping water from 8, 20
4 are provided. The operation unit 22 is disposed on the upper right side corresponding to the position of the water discharge head 18, and the other operation unit 24 is disposed on the lower left side corresponding to the water discharge head 20.

The first and second shower hooks 28, 3 are provided on the wall surface 11 at a predetermined height above the faucet body 12.
0 are fixedly mounted, and each has a spouting head 1
8, 20 are locked and held.

On the other hand, a water outlet hook 32 is fixed to the wall surface 11 below the faucet main body 12, and a switchable water discharge head 20 is locked and held here.

First and second shower hooks 28, 30
Has a vertical locking hole, so that the water discharge heads 18 and 20 can be held in a vertical state.

On the other hand, the water outlet hook 32 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in (B), the water discharge head 20 is held in a horizontal posture.

That is, the water outlet hook 32 is provided with an attachment portion 34 to the wall surface 11 and an arm 36 extending horizontally therefrom.
The arm 36 has a locking hole 38 at the distal end thereof.

The locking hole 38 is formed so that the axis thereof is oriented horizontally (substantially horizontally).
Can be held sideways.

The locking hole 38 has an open upper end, and the water outlet hook 32 allows the water discharging head 20 locked thereto to be removed.

The arm 36 at the spout hook 32
A hose insertion recess (not shown) through which the flexible hose 16 can be inserted up and down from the locking hole 38 at the base side.
Is formed, and the water discharge head 2 of the flexible hose 16 is formed.
0 is passed through the hose insertion recess to the arm 36.
It is possible to hang down below. When the water discharge head 20 is attached to and detached from the water outlet hook 32, the hose insertion recess may be formed large so that the entire water discharge head 20 can be inserted. A notch portion communicating with the hose insertion concave portion is formed, and the flexible hose 16 can be inserted into the hose insertion concave portion through the notch portion.

In the water faucet system of this embodiment, the water discharge head 2
0 can be used both as a shower head and as a normal water outlet.

Therefore, even when two people take a bath at the same time, two people can take a shower at the same time.
When a person takes a bath, the water from each of the water discharge heads 18 and 20 can be used as a shower from two places. Of course, one water discharge head 18 is used as a shower head and the water discharge head The convenience of the faucet facility is improved, for example, the water faucet can be used as a water outlet, and the usability is improved.

In this embodiment, the flexible hose 16
The weight of the part following the water discharge head 20 of the water discharge head 20
There is an advantage that the weight of the portion projecting forward from the locking hole 38 is balanced and the water discharge head 20 is stably supported, or the arm 36 has a length corresponding to the water discharge head 20. There is an advantage that it is not necessary to protrude largely to the indoor side.

In this example, the water discharge head 18 is a head dedicated to a shower, but it is needless to say that the water discharge head 18 can be switched between a shower and a water discharge port.

It is also possible to provide three or more water discharge heads.

In addition, the present invention can be configured in various modified forms based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
