DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the installation of a water faucet which is provided at a base of a branch pipe and controls opening and closing of water supply to the branch pipe when water is branched from a main pipe of a water pipe and distributed. From the perforated part of the main pipe, which is the water port to the water faucet, to the water faucet water inlet, it is inserted into the hole of the water faucet to prevent leakage and to prevent rust on the perforated wall. And its members.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a core member has a flange at an upper end portion, and has a protruding edge shape with a lower end edge protruding inward. By pushing the insertion rod further until it touches the outer edge of the outer portion and inserting the insertion rod further into the lower end protruding edge portion of the core member, the core member is flared and engaged with the outer edge of the perforated portion.

On the other hand, a reduced-diameter portion having a large thickness is provided at an upper portion of the core member, a protruding edge shape having a lower edge protruding inward is provided at a lower portion, and an O-ring is attached to an outer diameter portion. A method of enclosing a rubber-like member and inserting the insertion rod enlarged diameter portion so that the reduced diameter portion and the lower end protruding portion are flared to expand and squeeze tightly from the main hole to the water faucet passage, Proposed by the applicant.

[0004]

The conventional method of mounting a core member on a main pipe perforated portion by expanding valleys of an upper end flange and a lower end protruding edge portion does not involve the expansion of the core member only at the main pipe perforated portion. Since the core member is attached by the valgus valgus at the upper end flange and the lower end, there is no engagement of the core member with the water faucet, resulting in an unstable attachment structure in which the perforated wall and the outer periphery of the core member do not adhere to each other. There is a problem that rust is generated from the gap and contamination or the like occurs due to rust leakage.

[0005] Regarding the attachment and water tightness of the core member to the water faucet, the applicant has made the core member long so as to increase the diameter of the reduced diameter portion so that the perforated wall and the outer periphery of the core member are in close contact. However, this method has a configuration in which an O-ring is attached to the outer diameter of the upper end flange of the core member to maintain watertightness.

A certain space is required to mount the O-ring on the outer diameter of the upper end flange of the core member. If the distance between the water faucet port and the main pipe perforated portion is short, the core member cannot be mounted. There is a disadvantage that it is possible.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has been made in response to the above circumstances. A core member for a water faucet has a bent structure in which a top portion of a core member is widened outward by pressing and bent. Is made to have a close contact structure by bending the top of the core member, thereby eliminating the need for an O-ring mounting space and shortening the core member.

Further, the insertion rod for mounting the core member is provided with an enlarged diameter portion having a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the core member and a tapered lower portion, and after inserting the core member into the water faucet passage hole and the main pipe perforated portion,
The diameter of the entire core member was increased by press-fitting the enlarged diameter portion, and the entire outer peripheral surface of the core member was pressed against the water faucet passage and the main pipe perforated wall.

Further, the required press contact surface on the outer peripheral surface of the core member includes:
A coating layer made of an elastic material such as rubber is fixed to further enhance the watertightness by pressing.

[0010]

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the cylindrical core member 3 inserted into the water faucet opening 11 and the main pipe perforated portion 21 by the insertion rod 4 is pressed by the core member of the insertion rod 4 by the first pressing. Dressing part 41
Is press-fitted into the constricted portion 32 formed by the protruding edge portion 31 at the lower end of the core member 3 so that the protruding edge portion 31 is everted. Then, the outer peripheral surface of the core member is pressed against the water faucet water inlet 11 and the hole wall of the main pipe perforated portion 21.

When the insertion rod 4 is inserted up to the flange portion 43 and reaches the top portion 33 of the core member 3, when the insertion rod 4
Since 34 is in contact with and supported by the peripheral surface of the main pipe perforated portion, a strong pressure is further applied by the flange portion 43 of the insertion rod using this as a force point, and the top portion 33 is bent outward and widened as shown in FIG. The widened end 36 is pressed against the hole wall of the water faucet passage 11.

On the other hand, the enlarged diameter portion 42 of the insertion rod extends through the inner edge of the core member 3 up to the diameter of the enlarged diameter portion 42 throughout the flared protruding edge portion 31. In some cases, the fastening head 44 having a slightly smaller diameter can be passed, and the insertion rod 4 can be removed simultaneously with the completion of the mounting of the core member.
