[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water faucet mounting member which is optimally mounted on a water faucet for pouring water into a bathtub or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, water is supplied directly into a bathtub from a water tap, and the water is heated to be used for bathing.

[0003]

The problem with water in the bathtub is, first of all, the generation of slime. The slime in the bathtub is generated due to the rapid propagation of bacteria on organic substances and the like separated from the human body, and this slime sometimes generates an odor. Usually, in order to prevent the generation of slime and stop the generation of offensive odor, a chemical is mixed into water (hot water) in a bathtub to perform a bactericidal action. However, the incorporation of the drug gives bathers who are allergic to the drug an unpleasant feeling, and also increases the bathing cost due to the use of the drug.

[0004] On the other hand, recently, a medicinal bath agent has been put into hot water for giving a hot spring effect to bathing in a general household. In this case, there are various bath additives,
Each color and fragrance is different, and the degree of adhesion to the skin varies widely. Bathers have different preferences for the color, fragrance and degree of adhesion to the skin. Therefore, not all bathers want to mix medicated bathing agents, and some people dislike this mixing. In addition, the use of bathing agents during daily baths is costly.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned point, and is intended for a water tap which can prevent the generation of slime without using a chemical and can provide a hot spring effect without mixing a bath agent. It is intended to provide a mounting member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a tap member for water tap according to the present invention, and 1 is a tap for general household use. Water from the faucet 1 is poured into a bathtub arranged below the faucet 1. The bathtub is not shown. The faucet 1 is provided with a mounting member 2 according to the present invention. The attachment member 2 includes a connection portion 3 made of acrylic resin, a substantially conical enclosure 4 attached to the connection portion 3, a hollow member 5 provided inside the enclosure 4, and a hollow member 5 outside the hollow member 5. And a copper fiber mat 6 provided so as to cover the surface.

The connecting portion 3 made of acrylic resin is configured so that the faucet 1 can be inserted into the center hole 3a as shown in the figure. The inner diameter has been adjusted. For example, for mounting on a typical typical faucet, this inside diameter is between 15 mm and 2 mm.
It is 2 mm. The surrounding body 4 is inserted into the ring-shaped groove 7 of the connection part 3 and is integrated with the connection part 3. The surrounding body 4 is formed of a porous acrylic resin, and as a result, water is allowed to pass through the surrounding body 4.

The hollow member 5 is formed of aluminum wire, and is spirally wound in a conical shape. And
The conical opening is arranged to face the end of the faucet 1, and is configured such that water from the faucet 1 is injected into the hollow member 5. When water is injected from the faucet 1 into the hollow member 5, the water flows outward from the gap of the spiral wire forming the hollow member 5. The outer surface of the hollow member 5 (the outer surface of the wire) is electrically insulated, and conversely, the inner surface of the hollow member is a conductive surface.

The copper fiber mat 6 provided outside the hollow member 5 is made of, for example, high-purity copper fiber of 99.999% or more, and the diameter of the fiber is 30 μm or less. Is used. In addition, when used for a water tap, about 2 g is sufficient as the amount of copper fiber. The operation of such a configuration will now be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the mounting member 2 is attached to the tap 1 and the tap 1 is opened, tap water is injected into the hollow member 5 from the end of the tap 1. The water inside the hollow member 5 flows outward from the gap of the hollow member 5 and passes between the copper fiber mats 6. The water that has passed through the copper fiber mat 6 passes through the porous acrylic resin enclosure 4 and is poured into a bathtub (not shown).

As described above, the tap water passes through the faucet 1 through the inside of the mounting member 2, and at this time, the hollow member 5
A potential difference is generated between the inside of the copper fiber mat 6 and the copper fiber mat 6, and a minute current flows. That is, in tap water having an electric conductivity of 10 μs / cm or more, a voltage of 0.
A minute current with a current of 7 V or less and a current of 1 μmA or less is generated.
Due to the generation of the minute current (voltage), the water flowing inside the mounting member 2 is polarized into H ⁺ ions and OH ⁻ ions, and changes into a colloidal state. Among them, the H ⁺ ions confine dissolved oxygen contained in water, so that activation of oxygen can be prevented. Meanwhile, OH ^- ions or inhibit slime serves like occurs to reduce red rust black rust, water itself would remove the slime with strong activity force.

[0014] Further, by this activation, the dirt is sludged and settled, so that the bathtub is kept clean. as a result,
According to one experimental example, it has been clarified that even when the same hot water is re-boiled about 10 to 15 times, the hot water is relatively turbid and no decaying odor is generated. Furthermore, as an effect of this ion, the temperature of the bath water can be efficiently transmitted from the skin to the body, so that the bather's body warms well and gives the bather the comfort of bathing in a hot spring. it can.

Further, the copper fiber having the maximum contact area in the form of a mat with water molecules at the same time that water is polarized into H ⁺ ions and OH ⁻ ions has a high atomic absorption rate and is about 0.1 ppm. Copper ions are generated. Due to the synergistic effect of the copper ions with the OH ions described above, the generation of slime in the bathtub can be suppressed and the decay of hot water in the bathtub can also be prevented, thereby preventing the generation of odor. . In addition, about sterilization power of copper ion,
As already published, it has been recognized that Escherichia coli, staphylococci, salmonella, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have a large bactericidal effect, and the hot water in the bathtub can be made cleaner.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a configuration suitable for a large faucet or a tap having a square outer shape is shown. As shown in the figure,
For a large or square water tap 8, a connecting vinyl hose 9 may be inserted into the opening, and the mounting member 2 may be attached to the vinyl hose 9.

FIG. 3 also shows another embodiment of the present invention.
This embodiment shows a state in which the mounting member 2 is mounted on a water tap 10 having an outer shape of 15 mm or less. A relay vinyl hose 11 is placed over the outside of the faucet 10 having a small external shape, and the mounting member 2 is attached to the vinyl hose 11.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the mounting structure of the mounting member to the faucet is not limited to the structure of each embodiment. Further, although a spirally wound wire is used as the hollow member, for example, a conical metal member provided with many small holes for water permeation may be used. Furthermore, although the faucet which pours water into the bathtub was explained as an example,
The mounting member according to the present invention may be used not only for a bathtub but also for a normal water tap for cooking. In this case, especially since the water has an activity, it becomes so-called delicious water, and when tea is boiled based on the water, a very great effect is exhibited.

[0019]

As described in detail above, the water faucet mounting member according to the present invention is configured so that water from the water faucet flows through the conductive hollow member and the copper fiber outside thereof. If water is poured into the bath tub through this mounting member, the generation of slime in the hot water in the bath tub can be suppressed, and the generation of odor can be prevented. Moreover, a comfortable hot spring effect can be given to the bather. Furthermore, since the mounting member of the present invention has an extremely simple structure and can be provided at a low cost, it is extremely maintained compared to a method in which a medicine is mixed to prevent generation of slices or a bath agent is added for a hot spring effect. Costs can be reduced. Furthermore, although aluminum is used as the hollow member, other conductive substances can be used. In that case, it is necessary to use a material having an electrochemical potential different from that of copper as the conductive substance.
