DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific configurations of the embodiments described below.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing an anticorrosion core 21 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The core 21 of this embodiment is
A core body 23 made of copper is provided. The core main body 23 is a tubular member similar to a conventional core, and includes a collar portion 25, but includes a cylindrical upper tubular portion 27 and a lower tubular portion 29 above and below the collar portion 25. ing. The through hole 30 formed inside the core body 23 is tapered so that the diameter thereof gradually decreases from the upper end portion of the upper tubular portion 27 to the lower tubular portion 29. The lower end portion 31 is bent inward toward the inside, and the diameter of the portion is reduced. The taper is exaggerated in FIG.
Then, elastic annular seal members 33 and 35 made of rubber or the like are integrally attached to the outer peripheries of the upper tubular portion 27 and the lower tubular portion 29 by a method such as insert molding.

2 to 4 show a step of attaching the anticorrosion core 21 to the perforated hole of the water pipe. In addition, in this mounting method, the anticorrosion core 21 is mounted on the lower end of the mounting tool, this tool is inserted from the upper part of the saddle water faucet, and work is performed through the water passage hole of the ball and the lower water passage, Since these are the same as the conventional method, only the parts necessary for explaining the present invention are shown in these figures, most of the shape of the saddle water faucet, the mounting device main body for operating the mounting tool, etc. Is not shown.

First, a mounting tool 41 used for mounting the core 21 will be described.
Comprises a tool body 43 and a tool head 45 removably attached to the lower end of the body 43 with a screw. The tool body 43 is provided with a large diameter portion 47, a medium diameter portion 49, and a small diameter portion 51 from the upper side in the portion shown in the drawing, and the diameter decreases in this order. Then, between the small diameter portion 51 and the medium diameter portion 49, a gentle first inclined portion 53 formed by a part of an arc having a large radius is provided. Between the medium diameter portion 49 and the large diameter portion 47, a second inclined portion 55 inclined at a relatively small angle with respect to the axis of the tool 41 and a third inclined portion 57 having a large angle subsequent thereto are formed. ing.

Here, the diameter of the small diameter portion 51 is smaller than the through hole 30 of the core 21, but may be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the tip portion 31 of the core 21. The outer diameter of the middle-diameter portion 49 is determined substantially corresponding to the inner diameter of the flange portion 25 of the core 21, and is larger than the inner diameter of the lower tubular portion 29 . That is, when the tool is pushed downward from the state of FIG.
The lower cylinder portion 29 is pushed and expanded by the first inclined portion 53. Further, the dimension of the second inclined portion 55 is such that when this portion is sunk into the upper tubular portion 27 of the core 21, the upper tubular portion 27 is pushed and expanded.

The core 21 is attached to the tool body 43 from the small diameter portion 51 side of the tool body 43 as shown in the figure, and then the tool head 45 is screwed into the tool body 43. Since the outer diameter of the head 45 is larger than the tip portion 31 of the core 21,
The core 21 does not come off from the mounting tool 41. In this state, insert the mounting tool 41 into the faucet for saddle,
The core 21 is inserted into the hole 61 formed in the water pipe 59.
The outer diameter of the seal member 35 of the lower tubular portion 29 of the core 21 is slightly smaller than that of the hole 61. When the core 21 is inserted into the hole 61, the lower surface of the flange 25 of the core 21 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the water distribution pipe 59 at the peripheral edge of the hole 61. This is the state shown in FIG.

When the mounting tool 41 is further pushed down from the state shown in FIG. 2, the core 21 cannot be moved and only the tool 41 is pushed down. Therefore, the first inclined portion 53 and the medium diameter portion 49
Moves inside the lower tube portion 29 of the core 21 and pushes and expands this portion. Then, the lower end portion 31 of the core 21 is pushed out and protrudes from the lower end portion 31, and the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. During this period, the diameter of the lower tube portion 29 is enlarged,
The outer seal member 35 is pressed against the inner wall of the hole 61 of the water distribution pipe 59 and compressed between the outer main seal member 35 and the core body 23. Therefore, the lower tube portion 29 is in close contact with the inner wall of the hole 61 and reliably seals this portion. In addition, in the position of FIG.
The 1st 2nd inclination part 55 has not reached the position which pushes up the upper side cylinder part 27.

When the mounting tool 41 is further pushed down from the state shown in FIG. 3, the second inclined portion 55 enters the upper cylindrical portion 27 and the diameter of this portion is enlarged. As a result, the seal member 33 on the outer periphery of the upper cylinder portion 27 is pressed against the inner wall of the lower water passage 63 of the saddle water tap, is compressed between the core body 23, and seals this portion. When the attachment tool 41 is continuously pushed down, the upper end of the upper tubular portion 27 of the core 21 comes into contact with the third inclined portion 57 of the tool body 43. The third inclined portion 57 has a large inclination as described above, and an extremely large force is required to push the third inclined portion into the upper cylindrical portion 27. Therefore, the operator feels a great resistance at this point, You can see that the installation is complete. Therefore, the work of pushing the tool in here is stopped, the tool is pulled out in the reverse direction, and the work of attaching the core 21 is completed.

In the present embodiment, the through hole 30 is formed in a tapered shape as a whole, but it is not always necessary.
It suffices that the lower tubular portion is tapered at least to a length corresponding to the height of the water distribution pipe hole 61, and the tip may be a hole having the same diameter. This is because there is no inner wall of the hole 61 to which the seal member 35 is brought into close contact with the outside of the portion. However, the length of the lower tubular portion 29 is preferably a length corresponding to the length of the hole 61 at least water pipe. This is to bring the seal member 35 into close contact with the entire inner wall of the hole 61. It should be noted that the length of the hole 61 is somewhat different depending on the size of the diameter or the position shift of the hole even if the water pipe has the same thickness.

[0022]

As described above, in the anticorrosion core according to the present invention, the through hole is formed in a tapered shape, and the lower cylinder part and the upper cylinder part are enlarged by using a tool, respectively. Since the seal members arranged on the outer periphery of the pipe part and the upper tubular part can be pressed and adhered to the inner wall of the hole of the water pipe and the inner wall of the lower water passage of the water faucet, the hole opened in the water pipe and its surrounding Partial corrosion can be reliably prevented.

In the present invention, the diameters of the upper cylinder portion and the lower cylinder portion are enlarged. First, the diameter of the lower portion is enlarged,
Next, since the diameter of the upper cylinder portion is enlarged, the force required to push the tool at one time is small, and the work is easy and easy.
