Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は水栓の固定装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の水栓金具などの固定は、ナットを裏面側から締め上げ、水栓底面とナットに保持される固定具により取付面を挟持して固定を行うのが一般的である。しかし、水栓金具などの取付裏面側は作業スペースが確保できない場合が多く、作業者に要求された施工が満足できない危険性があった。
【０００３】
上記問題を解決するために、図８、図９に示すような、実開昭５９−２５７７７号などに、取付面表面側のみで固定可能な一例が示されているが、これを用いた場合、取付面裏側にまわる固定部材が安定せずに、作業性が悪いものとなっていた。
【０００４】
また、長辺と短辺を有する固定部材を用いる場合、固定部に設置する水栓などの正面が長辺と平行に設置されてしまうと、水栓などへ正面からの力加わった場合、力に対する耐力が弱くなってしまうという恐れがあった。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、仮止めの時点で固定方向を定め、加えて取付面の表面側と裏面側にある水栓などの取付用貫通穴の軸合わせが容易にできるようにすることを目的とする。また、同時に作業後には不必要となる連結部材を撤去できる構造を提供することも目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の請求項１では、壁や台に穿設された取付穴に合わせて配置する固定台座と、裏面側に位置させる固定部材とを、可とう性を持つ連結部材によって仮の固定を行なう固定装置であって、前記固定部材は、その２箇所に前記連結部材を挿通するための挿通口を有すると共に長辺と短辺を持ち、その姿勢によって取付面の表面側からの取付穴通過を可能とし、且つ裏面に配された状態では取付穴廻りの裏面に当接する形状を持つもので、これと前記固定台座により取付面を挟持してなる固定装置において、
前記固定部材にある２つの挿通口を結ぶ線が、前記固定部材の短辺若しくは長辺に対し垂直であり、
前記固定台座には前記固定部材にある２つの前記挿通口に対応する２つの挿通口を設け、前記連結部材の一端には、前記固定台座に設けられた一方の挿通口に留止される止め部を備え、しかもこの止め部にはワンウェーロック機構を有し、前記連結部材の他端には前記ワンウェーロック機構と対応した加工が施され、前記連結部材の他端が前記固定部材の２箇所の挿通口に挿通された後に前記固定台座の他方の挿通口に挿通された状態で仮固定が可能であるものとしている。
【０００９】
前記連結部材がワンウェーロック構造により引張された状態で、取付穴外周に対して固定位置決めのガイドをなすこととしてもよい。
【００１０】
請求項２は前記固定部材にある、連結部材を挿通するための挿通口は、それぞれを結ぶ線が垂直となる辺に対して長く、平行となる辺に対して短く開口されることとしている。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。図１から図４に本発明の第１実施例を示す。図１は本発明の固定装置の断面図、図２は仮固定の様子を示す斜視図、図３は取付面の裏面に配される固定部材と、そこにある連結部材を挿通する穴の位置関係を示した平面図、図４は連結部材の斜視図を示す。
【００１２】
図１は、本発明を用いて水栓金具を取付けた一例を示す。取付面表面１には取付穴２が穿設されており、取付穴２の外周に被蓋当接させた固定台座４を配する。取付面裏面３には、前記固定台座４と、連結部材７の止め部８が抜けない程度の挿通口６を持つ固定部材５が、前記連結部材７によって保持されており、取付面表面１側より、連結部材７の余剰部分を引張りあげることにより、前記固定台座４を取付面裏面３に当接させる。このとき、連結部材７の止め部８のない他端には、ワンウェーロック構造９が配されており、引き上げた固定部材５が取付裏面３で安定する構造としている。この状態において、固定台座４と固定部材５をねじなどの締結部材１０による強固な固定を行い、固定台座４と水栓本体１１にのそれぞれに用意された接合部によって、接合することにより、水栓などの固定をなすことができる。なお、連結部材７を引き上げた際に出る余剰部分については、これを切りとってもよい。
【００１３】
図２は、本発明の固定構造を用いる際の、特に仮固定の様子を示す斜視図である。取付面表面１に空けられた取付穴２に対して、連結部材７によって保持されている固定部材５は、その短辺側から取付穴２に挿入することにより、取付面裏面３側に配することができるようになる。固定部材５の長辺側は、取付穴２の直径より大きく構成されているため、取付面裏面３側に移動し、平衡状態となった場合、固定部材５は取付面表面１側に戻ってくることがない。本例では、この固定部材５と固定座金４によりカウンタ１２を挟持することで水栓本体１１の固定を行っている。
【００１４】
図３は取付面の裏面に配される固定部材５と、そこにある、連結部材７を挿通する挿通口６の位置関係を示している。
【００１５】
本例によれば、２つの挿通口６の中心を結ぶ線は、短辺に対して垂直になるように配されており、ここを貫通して取付面表面１側に伸びるそれぞれ２本の連結部材７の位置関係によって、この固定部材５が取付面裏面３側でどのような状態にあるかを確認することができる構造となっている。
【００１６】
これは連結部材７が図４に示す様な板状であった場合の例を示しており、固定部材５の長辺方向に対しては短く、短辺方向に対しては長い挿通口６を配することで、固定部材５の短辺方向を下にして傾けることはできても、連結部材７に垂直な面に対して回転させることはできない構造となる。
【００１７】
図５から図７は本発明の第２実施例を示す。図５は本発明の固定装置を示す断面図、図６は連結部材の断面図、図７は連結部材の要部の斜視図である。本実施例では連結部材７の、ワンウェーロック構造を兼用した止め部８を、固定台座４に空けられた挿通口１３に留止させた例を示す。連結部材７の一端が取付面表面１側にあり、他端は固定部材５の２つの挿通口６を貫通し、固定台座４に空けられた他の挿通口１４から出る。このとき、前記止め部８と挿通口１４からでた連結部材７の他端には、ワンウェーロック機構に対応した加工がなされており、それぞれを組み合わせることで、仮固定ができるような構造としている。
【００１８】
この固定方法では、連結部材７を図６、図７で示す様な構造とし、ねじなどの締結部材１０によって本固定がなされた後、ワンウェーロック機構を解除して、連結部材７を抜き取る構成としてもよい。なお、ここでは固定部材５が取付面裏面３側にて更に安定されるために、固定台座４側にガイドピン１５を立てた例を示している。このガイドピン１５は同時に、取付穴２外周に対して、固定位置決めのガイドとしても働く。
【００１９】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、固定部材を取付面表面側から連結部材を介して取付面裏面に吊り下げて配する固定方法の場合において、固定部材に設けられる連結部材の挿通口を、一定の規則で配することにより、固定台座を貫通し、取付面表面側に出る連結部材の向きによって、取付面裏面側にある固定部材の長辺と短辺の向きを、取付面表面側より判断できるようになる。これにより、特に力が加わる方向が予想される場合においても、取付面裏面側に配される固定部材の向きを、取付面表側から調整する事ができるようになる。
【００２０】
また、連結部材の止め部からみた他端に、一方向のみに動くワンウェイロック機構を有することにより、仮固定といえども、表面側に配される固定台座と裏面側に配される固定部材によってしっかり取付面を挟み込めるようにため、取付面裏面側に配される固定部材と取付面表面側とを締結部材によって本固定する場合に、締結部材の軸芯合わせが容易とすることができるようになる。
【００２１】
さらに、連結部材を引張した状態で、取付穴外周に対して個定位置決めのガイドとなすことで、取付面に固定される、例えば水栓などの固定位置のばらつきをおさえることができるようになる。
【００２２】
さらに、連結部材を挿通するための挿通口は、それぞれを結ぶ線が垂直となる辺に対して長く、平行となる辺に対して短く開口されることで、短辺方向を下にして傾けることはできても、連結部材に垂直な面で回転させることはできなくなり、取付面裏面側で固定部材が不安定な姿勢とならないようにすることができる。

[0012]
FIG. 1 shows an example in which a faucet fitting is attached using the present invention. A mounting hole 2 is formed in the mounting surface 1, and a fixed base 4 that is in contact with the lid is disposed on the outer periphery of the mounting hole 2. On the mounting surface back surface 3, the fixing base 4 and a fixing member 5 having an insertion opening 6 that does not allow the stopper 8 of the connecting member 7 to be removed are held by the connecting member 7, and the mounting surface surface 1 side. Accordingly, the fixed base 4 is brought into contact with the mounting surface back surface 3 by pulling up the surplus portion of the connecting member 7. At this time, a one-way lock structure 9 is disposed on the other end of the connecting member 7 without the stop portion 8, and the fixed member 5 pulled up is stable on the mounting back surface 3. In this state, the fixing base 4 and the fixing member 5 are firmly fixed by the fastening member 10 such as a screw, and the water is obtained by joining the fixing base 4 and the faucet body 11 with the joints prepared respectively. A stopper can be fixed. In addition, you may cut this about the excess part which comes out when the connection member 7 is pulled up.
[0013]
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state of temporary fixing particularly when the fixing structure of the present invention is used. The fixing member 5 held by the connecting member 7 with respect to the mounting hole 2 formed in the mounting surface 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 2 from the short side to be disposed on the mounting surface rear surface 3 side. Will be able to. Since the long side of the fixing member 5 is configured to be larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 2, the fixing member 5 returns to the mounting surface surface 1 side when it moves to the mounting surface back surface 3 side and reaches an equilibrium state. Never come. In this example, the faucet body 11 is fixed by sandwiching the counter 12 between the fixing member 5 and the fixed washer 4.
[0014]
FIG. 3 shows the positional relationship between the fixing member 5 arranged on the back surface of the mounting surface and the insertion port 6 through which the connecting member 7 is inserted.
[0015]
According to this example, the line connecting the centers of the two insertion openings 6 is arranged so as to be perpendicular to the short side, and each of the two couplings extending through the mounting surface surface 1 side passes therethrough. According to the positional relationship of the members 7, the fixing member 5 can be confirmed in what state it is on the mounting surface back surface 3 side.
[0016]
This shows an example in which the connecting member 7 has a plate shape as shown in FIG. 4. The insertion member 6 is short for the long side direction of the fixing member 5 and long for the short side direction. By disposing, the structure can be rotated with respect to a plane perpendicular to the connecting member 7 even though the fixing member 5 can be tilted with the short side direction downward.
[0017]
5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing the fixing device of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the connecting member, and FIG. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the stop portion 8 of the connecting member 7 that also serves as a one-way lock structure is retained at the insertion opening 13 formed in the fixed base 4. One end of the connecting member 7 is on the mounting surface 1 side, and the other end passes through the two insertion ports 6 of the fixing member 5 and exits from another insertion port 14 formed in the fixing base 4. At this time, the other end of the connecting member 7 from the stop portion 8 and the insertion port 14 is processed corresponding to the one-way lock mechanism, and a structure that can be temporarily fixed by combining each of them. .
[0018]
In this fixing method, the connecting member 7 is structured as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and after the main fixing is performed by the fastening member 10 such as a screw, the one-way lock mechanism is released and the connecting member 7 is extracted. Also good. Here, since the fixing member 5 is further stabilized on the mounting surface rear surface 3 side, an example in which the guide pin 15 is erected on the fixing base 4 side is shown. This guide pin 15 also serves as a fixed positioning guide for the outer periphery of the mounting hole 2 at the same time.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, in the case of the fixing method in which the fixing member is suspended from the attachment surface surface side via the connection member and arranged on the back surface of the attachment surface, the insertion opening of the connection member provided in the fixing member is determined according to a certain rule. By arranging it, the direction of the long side and the short side of the fixing member on the back side of the mounting surface can be judged from the surface side of the mounting surface by the direction of the connecting member that penetrates the fixed base and exits on the mounting surface surface side. Become. Thereby, even when a direction in which a force is applied is expected, the direction of the fixing member arranged on the back surface side of the mounting surface can be adjusted from the mounting surface front side.
[0020]
In addition, by having a one-way lock mechanism that moves only in one direction at the other end viewed from the stopper of the connecting member, even with temporary fixing, a fixing base arranged on the front side and a fixing member arranged on the back side When the fixing member arranged on the back surface side of the mounting surface and the front surface surface side of the mounting surface are permanently fixed by the fastening member so that the mounting surface can be firmly sandwiched, the axial alignment of the fastening member can be facilitated. become.
[0021]
In addition, when the connecting member is pulled, it becomes an individual positioning guide with respect to the outer periphery of the mounting hole, so that it is possible to suppress variations in the fixing position of the water faucet, for example, fixed to the mounting surface. .
[0022]
Furthermore, the insertion port for inserting the connecting member is inclined with the short side direction downward by opening the connecting line long with respect to the vertical side and short with respect to the parallel side. Even if it is possible, it cannot be rotated on a surface perpendicular to the connecting member, and the fixing member can be prevented from being in an unstable posture on the back surface side of the mounting surface.
