[Embodiment of the invention]

 (Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a water faucet anti-freezing device, and FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of the water faucet anti-freezing device.

As shown in FIG. 1, a water faucet anti-freezing device 1 includes a heat insulating member 2 as a first heat insulating member integrally formed of a material having high heat insulating and elastic properties such as polystyrene. (2) It has a heat insulating member 3 as a heat insulating member, and a one-way belt fastener 4 as two nylon binding bands for attaching the heat insulating member 2 and the heat insulating member 3 to a faucet.

[0008] Here, on the joint surface of the heat insulating member 2 with the heat insulating member 3, a concave portion 2a conforming to the shape of the water faucet to perform effective heat insulation between the water faucet and the outside air, and a heat insulating member. 3 has a concave portion 2b for fitting with the convex portion 3b. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating member 2 has a groove 2 c which is connected to the heat insulating member 3 by a one-way belt fastener 4 and is fixed to the faucet A.

In addition, a concave portion 3 a conforming to the shape of the water faucet in order to perform effective heat insulation between the water faucet and the outside air is provided on the joint surface of the heat insulating member 3 with the heat insulating member 2, And a convex portion 3b for fitting. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the heat insulating member 3 has a groove 3c which is connected to the heat insulating member 3 by a one-way belt fastener 4 and is fixed to the faucet A. In addition, the length, size, etc. of the freezing prevention device 1 for the faucet are appropriately prepared according to the standard of the faucet.

The one-way belt fastener 4 includes a ring-shaped fixing portion 4 a having a fixing claw inside, and a band portion 4 b formed integrally with the fixing portion 4 a and inserted into the fixing portion 4 a. Is done. In addition, on the back surface of the band portion 4b, a rack-shaped undulation 4c having a large number of mountain-shaped cross sections that mesh with the fixing portion 4a is arranged. Therefore, when the tip of the band portion 4b of the one-way belt fastener 4 is passed through the ring-shaped fixing portion 4a, the fixing claw of the fixing portion 4a meshes with the rack-shaped undulation 4c on the back surface of the band portion 4b, and the peak of the rack-shaped undulation 4c is formed. Because the shape is wedge-shaped in one direction, once it is fastened, the band 4b does not return again.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when attaching the water faucet anti-freezing device 1 to the water faucet A, first, the concave portion 2 a of the heat insulating member 2 and the concave portion 3 a of the heat insulating member 3 are connected. And fit it into the shape of faucet A. At this time, by fitting the concave portion 2b of the heat insulating member 2 and the convex portion 3b of the heat insulating member 3, the positioning of both can be facilitated.

When the faucet A is sandwiched between the heat insulating members 2 and 3, the groove 2 c of the heat insulating member 2 and the groove 3 c of the heat insulating member 3 are connected to each other, so that the faucet B is located before and after the faucet B in the axial direction of the water faucet A. Two continuous grooves are formed. A one-way belt fastener 4 is wound and fixed along these two grooves. At this time, in the one-way belt fastener 4, the fixing portion 4a and the band portion 4b are securely retained by the above-described configuration of the fixing claw and the rack-shaped undulation 4c. Further, since the heat insulating members 2 and 3 are restored in shape by their elasticity, the heat insulating members 2 and 3 can be securely fixed without loosening while the one-way belt fastener 4 is under tension.

For this reason, the faucet anti-freezing device 1 is securely fixed to the faucet A without lateral displacement of the one-way belt fastener 4. In addition, after fixing the faucet anti-freezing device 1 to the faucet A with the one-way belt fastener 4, if the extra band tip 4d of the band 4b is cut off, the band tip 4d will not be in the way. .

With such a configuration, members other than the heat insulating member for preventing the heat insulating material from being displaced in the axial direction are not required, and since the two grooves are formed, the one-way belt fastener 4 is formed. Thereby, the heat insulating material can be easily and reliably fixed to the faucet A.

(Other Embodiments) In the above-described embodiment, the heat insulating members 2 and 3 are appropriately formed in accordance with the standard of the faucet A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and FIG. As shown in Fig. 3 (b), in addition to the anti-freezing device 1 for a faucet having a prescribed size, the shape of the faucet was adjusted to compensate for the lack of the base length. The additional heat insulating members 5 and 6 may be formed so as to cover the insufficient portion of the base that cannot be covered with, for example, only the faucet anti-freezing device 1. With this configuration, the present invention can be applied to faucets having different base lengths.

Here, the additional heat insulating member 5 is formed by a concave portion 5 a corresponding to the shape of the faucet, a concave portion 5 b for fitting with the convex portion 6 b of the additional heat insulating member 6, and a one-way belt fastener 4. A groove 5c for coupling to the heat insulating member 6 and fixing to the faucet A;

Further, the additional heat insulating member 6 is provided with a concave portion 6 a corresponding to the shape of the faucet, a concave portion 5 b for fitting with the convex portion 6 b of the additional heat insulating member 6, and a one-way belt fastener 4 for additional heat insulating. And a groove 6c for coupling to the member 6 and fixing to the faucet A.

In the above-described embodiment, the one-way belt fastener 4 has been described as an example of the binding band. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a wire or rubber band may be used as the binding band.

[0019]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the first heat insulating member having elasticity and integrally formed, the second heat insulating member having elasticity and integrally formed, and the binding band are provided. Since the heat insulating member is integrally formed, the heat insulating member can be easily attached to the water faucet, and in a state where the binding band is under tension, the heat insulating members 2 and 3 are securely fixed without loosening. Therefore, the heat insulating material can be easily and reliably fixed to the faucet by utilizing the elasticity of the heat insulating material.

Further, since a concave portion or a convex portion for fitting each other is formed on the joint surface of the first heat insulating member and the second heat insulating member, the concave portion of the heat insulating member and the convex portion of the heat insulating member are formed. By fitting, positioning of both heat insulating members can be facilitated.

Further, since the binding band is a one-way belt fastener having a fixing claw at one end and a rack-shaped undulation formed on the back surface of the band portion of the main body, the fixing claw and the band at the fixing portion of the one-way belt fastener are provided. When the rack-shaped undulations on the rear surface of the part are engaged and once fastened, the band does not return again, and the heat insulating member can be securely fixed to the faucet.

Further, since grooves for retaining the binding band are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first heat insulating member and the second heat insulating member, the first and second heat insulating members can be easily attached to the band. Can be wrapped around.

Further, when the base of the faucet cannot be covered by the first heat insulating member and the second heat insulating member, the base is covered by an additional heat insulating member integrally formed of an elastic material. The shortage of the base that cannot be covered by the first heat insulating member and the second heat insulating member can be covered, and the present invention can be applied to faucets having different base lengths.
