[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a device for mounting an operation button in a remotely operated drain valve opening / closing device used in a wash basin, a bath tub, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an operation button in a remote control type (so-called pop-up type) drain cock opening / closing device of this kind is provided on a support rod protruding from a bottom surface of a fitting casing of the operation button and protruding from a lower surface of the operation button. The operating button is attached to the supporting rod integrally with the support rod by means of a screw or simply by fitting the attached cylindrical body.

[0003]

However, in the former case of the prior art, since the operation button is easily unintentionally detached from the support rod at the time of operation, not only does the operation button have to be remarkably obstructed, but also the operation button must be moved. In the latter case, even if the above problem can be solved,
Since it is extremely difficult to remove the operation button, there is a problem that it is difficult to easily clean and maintain the operation unit.

The present invention has been developed and completed with the object of solving the above-mentioned problems. The present invention can be easily and easily performed by simply pushing the operation button on the support rod, and once the operation button has been mounted. There is no possibility that the operation button will be accidentally detached from the support rod, and at the same time, the operation button can be easily and easily removed from the support rod at the time of cleaning and maintenance of the operation part. An object of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting an operation button in a device.

[0005]

As means for solving the above problems and achieving the object, in the present invention, an operation button in a remote operation unit, a member for inserting the operation button, and a member for the insertion member are provided. While projecting from the center of the concave base surface so that it can move forward and backward,
A support rod urged by a spring toward an opening on the opposite base surface side of the insertion member, the support rod having a circumferential engagement groove on an upper peripheral surface, and The button protrudes from the center of the lower surface, and has a cylindrical member having a slit in the circumferential direction. The operation button is removably supported by inserting the tubular member of the operation button into the support rod, and press-fitting the protrusion of the spring member into the engagement groove of the support rod in a detachable manner. We have developed and adopted an operation button mounting device in a remote-operated drain cock opening and closing device characterized by being mounted on a rod.

According to the present invention, there is provided an operating button mounting apparatus having the above-mentioned structure, wherein the operating button mounting apparatus comprises a spring member formed by a bifurcated holding spring wire.
And an operation button mounting device in which an engagement groove provided in the support rod is formed by a ring groove, and an operation button mounting in which at least one concave operation portion for removing the operation button is formed on an outer peripheral surface of a peripheral wall of the operation button. Each device was developed and adopted.

[0007]

In the remote control type drain cock opening / closing device according to the present invention, the operation button mounting device is configured such that the spring member 8 provided on the tubular member 7 of the operation button 1 includes the support rod 3.
Press-fit into the engaging groove 15 and securely engaged.
During operation, the operation button 1 does not accidentally come off the support rod 3. Further, since the press-fitting engagement state is detachable, it is possible to easily release the engagement state and remove the operation button 1 from the support rod 3 by pulling up the operation button 1.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. And a support rod 3 for the operation button 1 protruding from the inner bottom surface of the insertion member 2.

The operation button 1 is a cylindrical member having a circumferentially extending slit 6 at one position on the peripheral surface, which is provided at the center of the lower surface of a circular plastic plate 5 having a low peripheral wall 4. A short cylindrical member 7 made of a body and elastically engaged with the slit 6 from outside by being clamped around the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 7 to project a straight line portion 8a inside the hollow portion of the cylindrical member 7. And a spring member 8 composed of a deformed bifurcated linear spring as shown in FIG. 3. The opposed linear portion of the linear linear portion 8a is easy to hold and clamp the cylindrical member 7. And the peripheral wall 4
The outer peripheral surface of the shallow concave step engaging portion 9 for removing a plurality of operation buttons
Is provided.

Next, the fitting member 2 is formed of a bottomed cylindrical body having an inner diameter slightly longer than the diameter of the operation button 1 and having an opening 10 at the upper side. And a through hole 14 for a support rod 3 to be described later penetrates a central portion of a base surface (bottom surface) 13.

Further, the supporting rod 3 is directly or indirectly connected to the upper end of the remote opening / closing operation line W of the drain plug urged toward the opening of the insertion member 2 by a spring (not shown). And is inserted from below into an insertion hole 14 formed in a base surface 13 of the insertion member 2, protrudes into the insertion member 2 toward the opening 10, and an upper portion of the support rod 3. In this embodiment, an engaging groove 15 having a semicircular arcuate cross-sectional shape in the circumferential direction is provided on the peripheral surface.

Thus, the operation button 1 is attached to the support rod 3 projecting into the fitting member 2 configured as described above to form a remote opening / closing operation P of the drain plug (not shown). However, when mounting, the tubular member 7 of the operation button 1 may be fitted on the upper end of the support rod 3 and pushed downward, and the pushing linear force 8a of the spring member 8 is moved by the pushing force. The pushbutton is pushed open at the upper end of the support rod 3 and retreats, and then is press-fitted into the engagement groove 15 of the support rod 3 to be mounted smoothly and securely. The operation button 1 once mounted in this manner is operated during operation. Also, it does not accidentally come off the support rod 3 during transportation or storage.

When removing the operation button 1 attached as described above, the operation button 1 is easily removed from the support rod 3 by pulling the operation button 1 upward. That is, for example, the tip of the driver or the tip of the finger may be engaged with the concave engaging portion 9 provided on the peripheral wall 4 of the operation button 1 and pryed up. 8a is the engagement groove 1
5, the operation button 1 can be easily removed from the engagement groove along the arcuate surface of the remote controller 5, so that the inside of the remote operation unit P can be easily cleaned and maintained.

Although the main embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. It is natural that the design can be changed.

[0015]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the operation button can be easily and reliably attached to the support rod, and the assembling is easy and during operation or during operation. Since there is no possibility that the operation button is accidentally detached from the support rod or lost during transportation and storage, and the operation button can be easily removed, the inside of the operation unit can be cleaned and maintenance and inspection can be performed at any time. There is convenience.
