DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water discharge device for discharging water from a water discharge pipe, and more particularly to a water discharge device configured to prevent accidental water discharge from the water discharge pipe.
The present invention relates to a spouting device particularly suitable for being applied to a urinal washing faucet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional example of a urinal washing faucet (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
No. 2321) will be described with reference to FIG.

A flush toilet 1 is installed in a toilet room,
Urinal cleaning faucet 2 on the wall of the toilet room behind this toilet 1
Is installed.

[0004] A washing tube 4 is connected to the urinal washing faucet 2 via a hose 3. The washing pipe 4 is hung on a hanger 5 fixed to a wall surface of a toilet room.

When the toilet seat 6 of the toilet 1 is erected, the washing tube 4 passes through the central hole 6a of the toilet seat 6.

When the toilet seat 6 is laid down on the toilet 1 and the toilet 1 is used for normal toilet, the washing tube 4 is turned sideways so as not to hit the back of the toilet.

By turning the lever 7 of the urine cleaning faucet 2, the discharge from the cleaning pipe 4 and the stop of water are switched.

The urinal cleaning faucet 2 is provided with a safety button 8. By pressing the safety button 8, the lever 7 can be rotated, and unless the safety button 8 is pressed, the lever 7 is locked. Have been.

In this Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-232321, the washing tube 4 is hung on a hanger 5, but a urinal washing faucet having a washing and spouting tube rotatable vertically is also known.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned JP-A-8-23
By providing the safety button 8 like the urinal cleaning faucet disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2321, since the lever 7 does not immediately rotate even if the lever 7 is touched, it is quite likely that water is unexpectedly discharged from the cleaning pipe 4. Is prevented.

However, for example, when the toilet seat 6 is turned upside down, the body may be supported by the urinal washing faucet 2. In such a case, when the fingertip presses the safety button 8 and the palm presses the lever 7, the lever 7 turns, and water may be unexpectedly discharged from the washing tube 4.

An object of the present invention is to provide a water discharging device capable of reliably preventing such unexpected water discharging.

[0013]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A water discharge device according to the present invention has a water discharge pipe which can be rotated between a use position and a non-use position, and switches between water discharge from the water discharge pipe and water stoppage. In a water discharging apparatus having a water discharging handle, a lock means for locking the water discharging handle when the water discharging pipe is located at the non-use position is provided.

In the water discharging apparatus of the present invention, the water discharging handle is locked by the locking means unless the water discharging pipe is located at the use position, so that water discharging when the water discharging pipe is at the non-use position is reliably prevented. .

The water discharge device of the present invention is applied to a urinal washing faucet having a water discharge pipe which can be turned up and down so as to take a substantially horizontal use position and a non-use position raised up. It is suitable for.

In this case, a projection is provided on the handle of the faucet, and an arm is provided on the water discharge pipe. When the water discharge pipe is positioned at a substantially horizontal use position, the arm is separated from the projection and the handle is operated. It is preferable that the arm be in contact with or close to the protruding piece when the water discharge pipe is set up so that the handle cannot be operated.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a toilet equipment provided with a urinal flush tap as a water discharging device according to an embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a non-use state of the toilet equipment, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a configuration of the arm of FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a toilet seat 12 is attached to a toilet bowl 10 so as to be vertically rotatable. A urinal washing faucet 1 is placed on the wall of the toilet room behind the toilet 10.
4 is attached. The urinal cleaning faucet 14 has a water discharge pipe connecting portion 16 on the side surface, and the rear end of the water discharge pipe 18 is connected to the water discharge pipe connection portion 16.

The water discharge pipe 18 has a water discharge pipe base end 18a extending in the horizontal direction, a front extension 18b extending substantially perpendicularly to the water discharge pipe base 18a, and a front extension 18b. And a water discharging portion 18c which is bent at a substantially right angle from 18b and extends. The water discharge pipe base end 18a is attached to the water discharge pipe connection part 16 so as to be rotatable around the axis of the water discharge pipe base 18a. In addition, the water discharge pipe base end 18a
Is supported on the wall surface of the toilet room by the water discharge pipe support member 20.

The rear end of the urine washing faucet 14 is connected to a water supply pipe disposed inside the wall of the toilet room. A water discharge handle 26 having a handle main body 22 and a protruding piece 24 protruding from the handle main body 22 is rotatably provided on the distal end side of the urine cleaning faucet 14, and the water discharge handle 26 is turned. This switches the water discharge from the water discharge pipe 18 and the water stoppage.

In this embodiment, the handle body 22 is cylindrical, and two protruding pieces 24 are provided so as to protrude in the diameter direction of the cylinder. Further, in this embodiment, a safety button 28 is provided on the handle main body 22, and the water discharge handle 26 is rotatable only when the safety button 28 is pressed.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 3, an arm mounting ring 30 is fixed to the water discharge pipe base end 18a, and an arm 32 is connected to the arm mounting ring 30. The arm 32 is connected to the arm mounting ring 30 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the water discharge pipe base end 18a. A U-shaped part 38 connected to the first support part 36 and a second support part 40 connected to the U-shaped part 38 are provided. The second support portion 40 is also plate-shaped, and is located on the extension surface of the first support portion 36. The first support portion 36 and the second support portion 40 extend in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the water discharge tube base end 18a.

In the toilet equipment having the urinal cleaning faucet 14 constructed as described above, as shown in FIG. 1, when the toilet seat 12 is rotated upward, the toilet 10 is drained when the urinal is washed. ) Can be used.

In this case, the water discharge pipe 18 is rotated forward so that the extension 18b is in the horizontal direction.
The first support portion 36 and the second support portion 40 are both separated from the projecting piece 24. Therefore, the water discharge handle 26 can be turned by pressing the safety button 28, and water can be discharged from the water discharge pipe 18.

As shown in FIG. 2, the toilet seat 12 is laid down on the toilet 10 and the water discharge pipe 18 is flipped upward to retreat from above the toilet 10 in order to use the toilet equipment for a toilet seat. Let it.

In this state, the first support portion 36 and the second support portion 40 of the arm 32 are disposed below the projecting portion 24 of the water discharge handle 26, respectively. For this reason, even if the safety button 28 is pushed in,
Will hit the support portions 36 and 40, and the water discharge handle 26 cannot be rotated. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the water from being spouted from the water discharge pipe 18 by unexpectedly turning the water discharge handle 26.

In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a urinal cleaning faucet, but the present invention can also be applied to other various faucets. For example, in the case of a kitchen faucet, in the case of a swingable faucet so that the spout can take any position of the sink and the worktop, when the spout is turned to the worktop, a locking member is used. Can be configured to lock the handle of the faucet.
