DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mixing faucet with a hand-drawable hand shower attached to a sink or vanity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mixing faucet which is attached to a counter of a sink or a vanity van and used to draw out a hand shower from a faucet body together with a hose so that water can be spouted over a wide range is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-20695. FIG. 8 of the publication (FIG. 4 of the present application) is available. Referring briefly to FIG. 4, the mixing faucet 45 is attached to the counter 44 of the sink 43 in an upright state, and a hand shower connected to a hose at a support portion 47 extending obliquely upward from below the main body 46. 48 can be pulled out freely,
Inside the support portion 47 and under the counter 44, a hose having a length sufficient to draw out the hand shower 48 from the support portion 47 is used. It is used in a state where it is supported by 47 or pulled out together with a hose from the support portion 47.

[0003] The mixing faucet provided with a drawer function of the hand shower described above draws the hand shower out of the supporting part when used in a sink or a vanity basin as compared with a mixing faucet provided with a normal water discharge pipe. Because it can be used, the area of water discharge can be widened, which is convenient for washing, etc., but the space for putting small items etc. on the counter around the sink is narrow, and the large space on the counter should be used effectively In addition, the cleaning ability around the mounting part of the mixing faucet was poor, and water deposits and drippings were collected and easily stained.

[0004]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mixing faucet with a hand shower in which a hand shower and a hose are supported so as to be able to be pulled out from a supporting portion.
It is to be installed so that the space of the counter of the sink or the vanity table can be effectively used and the cleaning is easy.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a water faucet body, an adjusting part for setting the temperature and flow rate of hot and cold water by operating a single lever, and a rotatable outer periphery of the water faucet body. And a hose connected to the adjusting part and supplying hot water is inserted into the insertion hole of the support part, and a hand shower attached to the end of the hose is inserted into the opening at the end of the support part. In the mixing faucet with a hand shower supported so that it can be pulled out freely,
A base portion is formed at a lower portion of the faucet main body, and the base portion is attached to a wall vertically erected from a rear portion of a counter of a sink or a vanity stand , and the hose is a wall surface from a space inside the base portion.
It is housed in the back of the case so that it can be pulled out .

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the faucet body 1 of the present invention has a connecting tube 3 provided on the side of a base 2 formed at a lower portion and has a small diameter and protrudes in a parallel direction. Alternatively, it is inserted from the rear of the counter A of the vanity stand into the mounting hole C of the wall B vertically erected vertically, and is attached from the back side of the wall B by a plurality of bolts 4.

A water supply pipe 5 communicating with a water supply source, a hot water supply pipe 6 communicating with a hot water supply source, and hot and cold water whose temperature and flow rate are set by a control unit 14 described later are handed to the connection tube 3 toward the back side of the wall surface B. The mixing pipe 7 to be supplied to the shower 23 is connected, and the mixing pipe 7 and a hose 9 connected to the hand shower 23 are connected via a pipe joint 8.
In the space 2a and the back side of the wall surface B so as to be easily drawn out.

As shown in FIG. 3, the water supply pipe 5 and the hot water supply pipe 6 are provided with a water chamber 10 formed in the base 2 and a water chamber 11 separated from the water chamber 10 through a partition 12 so as to provide a valve of an adjusting section 14. A fixed plate 16 and a movable plate 17 made of ceramics or resin are stacked and housed in the valve chamber 15, and the movable plate 17 is connected to a lever 19 via a handle shaft 18. The temperature of the hot water and the amount of water discharge are adjusted by operating the lever 19 in the rotating direction or the vertical direction.
The control unit 14 is configured to supply the mixture to the mixing tube 7 via the control unit 3.

A support portion 20 is rotatably fitted in a horizontal direction on the outer periphery between the base portion 2 and the adjusting portion 14 of the faucet body 1. The support portion 20 has a cylindrical shape protruding slightly obliquely upward from below, and a hose 9 communicating with the mixing pipe 7 is inserted through the inside insertion hole 21 so as to be able to enter and exit. A hand shower 23 which can be pulled out of the support portion 20 and is detachably supported by the opening 22 at the tip of the support portion 20.
The hot and cold water whose temperature and water discharge amount are set by operating the lever 19 provided on the adjusting section 14 passes through the mixing pipe 7, the pipe joint 8, and the hose 9 and is discharged from the hand shower 23. Reference numeral 23 switches the flow path between direct current water and foamy water by operating a button 24 to discharge hot water.

In the above configuration, by operating the lever 19 of the mixing faucet with a hand shower in the water discharging direction, the hot water whose temperature and water discharging amount has been adjusted by the adjusting unit 14 passes through the mixing pipe 7 and the hose 9 and is supported. The water is discharged from the hand shower 23 supported by the unit 20 to the outside. In addition, hand shower 2
By holding the hand 3 and pulling it out of the opening portion 22 of the support portion 20 by the length of the hose 9, hot water can be supplied to a wide area to perform operations such as washing.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages. (1) The mixing faucet with a hand shower is attached to the wall that stands vertically from the back of the counter of the sink or vanity ,
The hose is pulled out from the space inside the base to the back of the wall
Because it is stored freely, the space for placing small items etc. on the counter top is widened and can be used effectively,
Because there are no obstacles on the counter, it is easy to clean and can always be kept clean. (2) The hose of the mixing faucet with a hand shower is housed so that it can be pulled out from the space inside the base part to the back side of the wall surface and is not exposed to the outside, so it looks good, and the hose does not disturb, and It is easy to use because the attached water drops do not fall on the counter.
