Description

本発明は、水栓装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a faucet device.

従来から、カラン吐水部、シャワー吐水部という２つの吐水部からの吐水及び吐水停止をそれぞれ独立して行うための２つの開閉弁と、該２つの開閉弁をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための２つの押釦（カラン吐水用の押釦と、シャワー吐水用の押釦）とを備えた水栓装置が特許文献１により知られている。 Conventionally, two open / close valves for independently performing water discharge and water discharge stop from two water discharge parts, ie, a currant water discharge part and a shower water discharge part, and for opening / closing the two open / close valves independently. A faucet device provided with two push buttons (a push button for currant water discharge and a push button for shower water discharge) is known from Patent Document 1.

この特許文献１に示される従来例にあっては、水栓装置の断熱カバーから露出するように上記カラン吐水用の押釦と、シャワー吐水用の押釦とを設けたもので、この２つの押釦はいずれも止水位置において押釦の上面部を押す操作をすることで、押釦の高さが上記止水位置よりも若干高くなって吐水位置となり、この吐水位置にある押釦の上面部を押し操作することで、押釦の高さが上記吐水位置よりも若干低くなって止水位置に戻るようになっている。 In the conventional example shown in Patent Document 1, the above-mentioned push button for water discharge and a push button for shower water discharge are provided so as to be exposed from the heat insulating cover of the faucet device. In any case, by pushing the upper surface of the push button at the water stop position, the push button height becomes slightly higher than the water stop position to become the water discharge position, and the upper surface of the push button at the water discharge position is pushed. Thus, the height of the push button is slightly lower than the water discharge position and returns to the water stop position.

つまり、止水から吐水への操作、吐水から止水への操作のいずれの操作も、押釦の上面部を押す操作をすることによりおこなっている。 That is, both the operation from the water stop to the water discharge and the operation from the water discharge to the water stop are performed by pressing the upper surface portion of the push button.

ところで、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っている時や、洗顔している時のように、押釦を目でみることなく手探りで探し、押釦を操作して吐水や止水を行う場合がある。このような場合、使用者は、手探りで目的とする押釦を探し、手探りで探した押釦の上面部を押すことで、目的の吐水部から吐水したり、止水したりするものである。 By the way, when washing hair with shampoo or the like, or when washing the face, there are cases where the push button is searched by hand without looking, and the push button is operated to discharge or stop water. In such a case, the user searches for a target push button by groping and presses the upper surface portion of the push button searched by groping to discharge water from the target water discharge section or stop water.

ここで、上記した従来例にあって、例えば、シャワー吐水部が止水で且つカラン吐水部が吐水の状態で、石鹸などで洗顔している時、カラン吐水部の吐水を止めようとする際、手探りで、押釦を探して、手に触れた押釦の上面部を押し操作して吐水状態のカラン吐水部を止水状態に切り換えるのであるが、この場合、間違って、シャワー吐水用の押釦の上面部を押し操作して止水中のシャワー吐水部からいきなり湯水が吐水されてしまうことがある。 Here, in the above-described conventional example, for example, when the shower water discharge part is still water and the curan water discharge part is in a water discharge state and the face is washed with soap or the like, when the water discharge of the curan water discharge part is stopped. , Search for the push button by hand, and push the top surface of the push button that touched the hand to switch the water discharge state of the water discharge state to the water stop state. suddenly hot water from the shower water discharge part of the stop water and pressed a top portion sometimes arise as being spouted.

また、シャワー吐水部が吐水で且つカラン吐水部が止水の状態で、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っている時、シャワー吐水部の吐水を止めようとする際、手探りで、押釦を探して、手に触れた押釦の上面部を押し操作して吐水状態のシャワー吐水部を止水状態に切り換えるのであるが、この場合、間違って、カラン吐水用の押釦の上面部を押し操作して止水中のカラン吐水部からいきなり湯水が吐水されてしまうことがある。 In addition, when you are washing your hair with a shampoo or the like when the shower water discharge unit is water discharge and the currant water discharge unit is still water, when you try to stop the water discharge of the shower water discharge unit, look for the push button, The top surface of the push button that touched the button is pressed to switch the water discharge shower water discharge portion to the water stop state. In this case, the top surface of the push button for currant water discharge is suddenly hot water from Curran water discharger sometimes arise as being spouted.

また、２つの吐水部のうち、いずれか一方が吐水、いずれか他方が止水状態において、２つの吐水部の両方とも吐水するように操作するには、止水状態と吐水状態とで僅かに高さが異なる２つの押釦の高さの差を手で確認しながら、僅かに低い方の押釦を押す操作をすることで、両吐水部から共に吐水でき、また、２つの吐水部のうち、いずれか一方から吐水、いずれか他方が止水状態において、２つの吐水部の両方とも止水するように操作するには、止水状態と吐水状態とで僅かに高さが異なる２つの押釦の高さの差を手で確認しながら、僅かに高い方の押釦を押す操作をすることで、両吐水部を共に止水にできるのであるが、この２つの押釦における止水と吐水とのわずかな高さの差を手探りで探して確認するのは、きわめて難しく、誤操作してしまうおそれがある。 Moreover, in order to operate so that both of the two water discharge parts may discharge water when either one of the two water discharge parts is water discharge and the other is a water stop state, the water discharge state and the water discharge state are slightly While confirming the difference between the heights of two pushbuttons with different heights, by pushing the slightly lower pushbutton, it is possible to discharge water from both water discharge sections, and of the two water discharge sections, In order to operate so that water is discharged from either one and both of the two water discharge portions are stopped when either one is stopped, the two pushbuttons slightly different in height in the stopped state and the discharged state While checking the difference in height by hand, by pushing the slightly higher push button, both water discharge parts can be stopped, but there is a slight difference between the water stop and water discharge in these two push buttons. It is extremely difficult and frustrating to find and confirm the difference in height There is a possibility that the work.

このように、目で確認できない状況下で手探りにより、複数の押釦の中から目的とする押釦の操作を行わなければならない場合、上記従来例にあっては誤操作をする恐れがあり、特に、水栓装置を目で確認していない状況下で、予期していない別の吐水部から急に吐水が行われると、洗顔中の人にいきなりシャワー水がかかったり、あるいは洗髪中の人の足元にいきなり湯水が吐水されたり、あるいは、止水したくないのに突然止水したりするといった事態が生じ、目で見ていないだけに不安感があり、快適な使用ができないという問題がある。 As described above, when the target push button must be operated from a plurality of push buttons by groping in a situation that cannot be visually confirmed, there is a risk of erroneous operation in the above conventional example. If water is suddenly discharged from another unexpected water discharge part under conditions where the stopper device is not visually confirmed, shower water may suddenly be applied to the face-washing person, or to the feet of the person who is washing the hair. There is a problem that suddenly hot water is discharged or suddenly the water stops suddenly even though it is not desired to stop, and there is a sense of anxiety just because it is not seen with eyes, and it cannot be used comfortably.

また、例えば、２つの吐水部のうち、いずれか一方から湯水を吐水したまま放置して止水するのを忘れていたような時、一方の吐水部から湯水が吐水しているのに気付き、あわてて止水しようとする場合、あわてているので、２つの押釦のうち、誤って別の吐水部の押釦を押し操作してしまって、別の吐水部から湯水がいきなり吐水してしまう場合もある。 Also, for example, when you forgot to leave the hot water from either one of the two water discharge sections and stop water, you will notice that the hot water is discharged from one water discharge section, If you want to stop water in a hurry, you may be rushed, so if you accidentally press the push button of another water discharger out of the two pushbuttons, hot water suddenly discharges from another water discharger. is there.

この場合は、２つの押釦が一応、目に見えているが、あわてているため、誤って別の押釦を押し操作してしまうのである。 In this case, the two push buttons are visible for the time being, but because they are in a hurry, they push the other push button by mistake.

また、上記の従来の水栓装置は、２つの吐水部からの吐水及び吐水停止をそれぞれ独立して行うための２つの開閉弁と、該２つの開閉弁をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための２つの押釦を設けたものであり、各吐水部から吐水される湯水の流量の調整をするために更に上記２つの押釦、２つの開閉弁とは別に２つの流量調整弁を設けてある。このように、上記従来例においては、２つの押釦は、いずれも各押釦操作で対応する吐水部の吐水、止水を行うのみで、このとき各押釦の操作で同時に対応する吐水部から吐水される湯水の流量調整を行うことができず、各押釦の操作とは別に、各流量調整弁を操作して流量調整を行わなければならず、操作性が悪いと共に、別に２つの流量調整弁を設ける必要があり、部材が増えて構造が複雑になり、大型化し、コストが高くなるという問題がある。
特開２００４−９２０６９号公報 In addition, the above-described conventional faucet device has two open / close valves for independently performing water discharge from the two water discharge portions and stopping the discharge, and for opening / closing the two open / close valves independently. Two push buttons are provided, and two flow rate adjusting valves are provided in addition to the two push buttons and the two on-off valves in order to adjust the flow rate of hot water discharged from each water discharge unit. As described above, in the above-described conventional example, each of the two push buttons only performs water discharge and water stop of the corresponding water discharge portion by each push button operation, and at this time, water is discharged from the corresponding water discharge portion by the operation of each push button. In addition to the operation of each push button, the flow rate adjustment valve must be operated to adjust the flow rate separately from the operation of each push button. There is a problem that the number of members increases, the structure becomes complicated, the size is increased, and the cost is increased.
JP 2004-92069 A

本発明は上記の従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、複数のレバーハンドルの各操作部をそれぞれ独立して上下移動操作することで、対応する吐水部における吐水、止水の操作を簡単な操作で確実にでき、また、複数の吐水部のうちある吐水部が吐水で他の吐水部が止水となっている状態において、吐水中の吐水部を止水にする操作をする際、誤って、他の吐水部から吐水されるというような誤操作を防止でき、また、複数の弁手段をそれぞれ独立して複数のレバーハンドルで開閉操作する際、同時に各吐水部から吐水される湯水の流量調整ができる水栓装置を提供することを課題とするものである。 The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and operates each of the operation portions of the plurality of lever handles to move up and down independently, thereby discharging water and stopping water in the corresponding water discharge portion. In a state where one of the plurality of water discharge units is water discharge and the other water discharge unit is water stop, an operation to turn off the water discharge unit in the water discharge is performed. Inadvertently, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation such that water is accidentally discharged from other water discharge units, and when a plurality of valve means are independently opened and closed by a plurality of lever handles, water is simultaneously discharged from each water discharge unit. It is an object of the present invention to provide a faucet device capable of adjusting the flow rate of hot water.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る水栓装置は、複数の吐水部２からの吐水及び吐水停止をそれぞれ独立して行うための複数の弁手段７と、該複数の弁手段７をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための複数のレバーハンドル３とを備えた水栓装置６であって、複数のレバーハンドル３にそれぞれ上側が押し下げ用の操作部４ａ、下側が押し上げ用の操作部４ｂとなった操作部４を設け、該操作部４は押し上げ・押し下げ操作のみが可能なように上下方向にのみ可動自在となり、各レバーハンドル３はいずれも操作部４を上に上げた状態又は下に下げた状態の一方がそれぞれ対応する弁手段７がいずれも開で、他方がいずれも閉となっており、上記複数の弁手段７を内部に配置した筒体部２０を備え、上記レバーハンドル３が夫々、上記筒体部２０の外周部前面に沿って上記筒体部２０におけるこのレバーハンドル３に対応する弁手段７を配置した部分の前面を覆う覆い部２８を備え、この覆い部２８から前方に突出して上記操作部４を一体に設けていることを特徴とするものである。 In order to solve the above-described problem, the water faucet device according to the present invention includes a plurality of valve means 7 for independently performing water discharge and water discharge stop from the plurality of water discharge sections 2, and the plurality of valve means 7 respectively. A faucet device 6 having a plurality of lever handles 3 for independent opening and closing operations, each of the plurality of lever handles 3 having an upper operation portion 4a for pushing down and a lower operation portion 4b for pushing up. The operation unit 4 is provided, and the operation unit 4 is movable only in the vertical direction so that only the push-up and push-down operations can be performed. Each lever handle 3 is in a state where the operation unit 4 is raised or down. The valve means 7 corresponding to one of the lowered states is all open and the other is closed, and includes a cylindrical body portion 20 in which the plurality of valve means 7 are disposed, and the lever handle 3 Each of the above cylinders 20 is provided with a cover portion 28 covering the front surface of a portion of the cylindrical body portion 20 where the valve means 7 corresponding to the lever handle 3 is disposed along the front surface of the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical body portion 20. 4 is provided integrally .

このような構成とすることで、水栓装置６に設けた複数のレバーハンドル３はいずれも各操作部４を押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作するだけで各吐水部２からの吐水、止水を独立して行うことができると共に、各操作部４はいずれも押し下げ操作と押し上げ操作が反対方向の操作であるため、手探りであっても操作部４に手を添えて簡単に上下移動操作できると共に直接目で確認しなくて手探りで行っても操作に誤りがない。また、各操作部４の上側の押し下げ用の操作部４ａや下側が押し上げ用の操作部４ｂに指を添えて押し下げ操作や押上操作をすることで、軽い力で簡単且つ確実に開閉操作ができて、各操作部４の開閉操作がきわめて容易に行える。 By adopting such a configuration, each of the plurality of lever handles 3 provided in the faucet device 6 can independently discharge and stop water from each water discharger 2 simply by pushing up and down each operation unit 4. Since each of the operation units 4 is an operation in which the push-down operation and the push-up operation are opposite directions, even when groping, the operation unit 4 can be easily moved up and down with a hand and directly There is no error in the operation even if you do not check in and grope. In addition, by pressing the operation unit 4a on the upper side of each operation unit 4 and the operation unit 4b on the lower side with a finger for the push-down operation and the push-up operation, the opening / closing operation can be easily and reliably performed with a light force. Thus, the opening / closing operation of each operation unit 4 can be performed very easily.

このため、複数の吐水部２がいずれも止水状態において、複数の吐水部２のうち一方から吐水させたり、あるいは他の吐水部２から吐水させたり、あるいは、複数の吐水部２から同時に吐水させたりする操作が簡単にできると共に、複数の吐水部２がいずれも吐水状態において、複数の吐水部２のうち一方を止水させたり、あるいは他の吐水部２を止水させたり、あるいは、複数の吐水部２を同時に止水させたりする操作が簡単にできる。特に、各操作部４の押し上げ操作と押し下げ操作とで開閉が決まっているので、例えば、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っているときや、洗顔している時のように、手探りでレバーハンドル３の操作部４を探して、操作する場合でも開操作であるか、閉操作であるかを間違うことがない。 For this reason, when all of the plurality of water dischargers 2 are in a water-stopped state, water is discharged from one of the plurality of water dischargers 2, or water is discharged from another water discharger 2, or water is simultaneously discharged from the plurality of water dischargers 2. The operation can be easily performed, and when all of the plurality of water dischargers 2 are in a water discharge state, one of the plurality of water dischargers 2 is stopped, or the other water discharger 2 is stopped, or The operation of stopping the water discharge units 2 simultaneously can be easily performed. In particular, since the opening / closing operation is determined by the push-up operation and the push-down operation of each operation unit 4, the lever handle 3 is operated by groping, for example, when washing hair with a shampoo or washing face. Even when the part 4 is searched and operated, it is not mistaken whether the operation is an opening operation or a closing operation.

また、例えば、一方の吐水部２（シャワー吐水部）が止水で且つ他の吐水部（カラン吐水部）が吐水の状態で、石鹸などで洗顔している時、他の吐水部における吐水を止めて止水にしようとして、手探りで、他の操作部４（カラン用の操作部）を探して該他方の操作部４を止水側に操作する際、誤って一方の操作部４（シャワー用の操作部）側を止水側に操作しても、既に止水しているため、一方の吐水部２（シャワー吐水部）から突然吐水されるというようなおそれがなく、また、一方の吐水部２（シャワー吐水部）が吐水で且つ他の吐水部２（カラン吐水部）が止水の状態で、シャンプーなどで洗髪している時、一方の吐水部における吐水を止めようとして、手探りで、一方の操作部４（シャワー用の操作部）を探して該一方の操作部４を止水側に操作する際、誤って他方の操作部４（カラン用の操作部）側を止水側に操作しても、既に止水しているため、他方の吐水部２（カラン吐水部）から突然吐水されるというようなおそれがなく、このように、複数の操作部４を手探りで探して操作する際に、上記のように操作すべき操作部４を間違えることが仮にあっても、操作部４の操作方向さえ間違っていなければ、手探りであっても予期していない吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがなく、安心して洗顔や洗髪ができる。 In addition, for example, when one of the water discharger 2 (shower water discharger) is still water and the other water discharger (curan water discharger) is in the state of water discharge and is washed with soap or the like, the water discharged from the other water discharger When trying to stop the water and searching for another operation unit 4 (an operation unit for currant) by searching for the other operation unit 4 to the water stop side, one operation unit 4 (shower) Even if the operation part) side is operated to the water stop side, since the water has already stopped, there is no fear of sudden water discharge from one water discharge part 2 (shower water discharge part). When the water discharge part 2 (shower water discharge part) is water discharge and the other water discharge part 2 (Kalan water discharge part) is still water and is washed with shampoo etc., it tries to stop water discharge in one water discharge part. Thus, one operation unit 4 (shower operation unit) is searched and the one operation unit 4 is searched. When operating to the water stop side, even if the other operation unit 4 (curan operation unit) side is accidentally operated to the water stop side, the other water discharge unit 2 (curan water discharge unit) is already stopped. In this way, even if there is a mistake in the operation unit 4 to be operated as described above when searching for and operating the plurality of operation units 4 by hand, As long as the operation direction of the operation unit 4 is not wrong, even if groping, there is no possibility of sudden water discharge from the unexpected water discharge unit 2, and face washing and hair washing can be performed with peace of mind.

また、例えば、２つの吐水部２のうち、いずれか一方から湯水を吐水したまま放置して止水するのを忘れていたような時、一方の吐水部２から湯水が吐水しているのに気付き、あわてて一方の吐水部２側の操作部４を止水側に操作しようとする場合、あわてているので、誤って別の吐水部２の操作部４を止水側に操作しても、別の吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じない。 In addition, for example, when one of the two water dischargers 2 forgets to stop the water while discharging hot water from one of the two water dischargers 2, the water is discharged from one water discharger 2. If you notice and panic and try to operate the operation part 4 on the one water discharge part 2 side to the water stop side, since it is rushing, even if you accidentally operate the operation part 4 of another water discharge part 2 to the water stop side The situation where water is suddenly discharged from another water discharge unit 2 does not occur.

また、上下方向にのみ可動自在な操作部４を上に上げた状態又は下に下げた状態の一方が全開で他方が閉となり且つ操作部４の上下方向における移動領域のうち上記全開位置Ａと閉位置Ｂとの間が水量調整域Ｃとなっていることが好ましい。 One of the state in which the operation unit 4 that is movable only in the vertical direction is raised or lowered is fully open and the other is closed. It is preferable that the water amount adjustment region C is between the closed position B and the closed position B.

このような構成とすることで、水栓装置６に設けた複数のレバーハンドル３は、いずれも、対応する各弁手段７をそれぞれ独立して開閉して対応する各吐水部２からの吐水、止水を行うだけでなく、各操作部４の上下方向への移動調整により対応する各吐水部２から吐水する湯水の流量を同時に調整できるものであり、この結果、複数の弁手段、複数のレバーハンドル３を設けることにより大型化し且つ部品点数が多くなる水栓装置６において、別部材としての複数の流量調整弁とこれを操作するための複数の操作部とを必要とせず、水栓装置６の小型化、部品点数の削減が可能となり、また、各操作部４の上下方向の移動のみで対応する吐水部２からの吐水、止水と流量調整とが同時にできて操作性が向上する。 By adopting such a configuration, each of the plurality of lever handles 3 provided in the faucet device 6 can open and close the corresponding valve means 7 independently to discharge water from each corresponding water discharge section 2, In addition to stopping water, the flow rate of hot water discharged from each corresponding water discharger 2 can be adjusted simultaneously by adjusting the movement of each operation unit 4 in the vertical direction. As a result, a plurality of valve means, In the water faucet device 6 which is enlarged by providing the lever handle 3 and has a large number of parts, the water faucet device does not require a plurality of flow rate adjusting valves as separate members and a plurality of operation parts for operating the same. 6 can be reduced in size and the number of parts can be reduced, and the operability can be improved by simultaneously discharging water, stopping water and adjusting the flow rate from the corresponding water discharger 2 only by moving each operation unit 4 in the vertical direction. .

また、複数のレバーハンドル３はいずれも、操作部４を上方に上げることで対応する弁手段７を開、下方に下げることで閉となっていることが好ましい。 Moreover, it is preferable that all of the plurality of lever handles 3 are closed by raising the operation portion 4 upward to open the corresponding valve means 7 and lowering it downward.

このような構成とすることで、誤って、各操作部４に誤って上方から物が落下して当たったりして操作部４に下方への押し下げ力が作用しても、下方に移動した操作部４に対応した吐水部４が止水となり、不意に吐水部４から湯水が吐水しないようにできる。 By adopting such a configuration, even if an operation object 4 is accidentally dropped from and hits each operation unit 4 and a downward pressing force acts on the operation unit 4, the operation moved downward The water discharge part 4 corresponding to the part 4 becomes water stop, so that hot water is not discharged from the water discharge part 4 unexpectedly.

また、水栓装置６に、水と湯を混合する湯水混合部１を備え、湯水混合部１で混合された湯水が複数の弁手段７の独立した開又は閉により複数の吐水部２からそれぞれ独立して吐水又は吐水停止され、複数の弁手段７をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための複数のレバーハンドル３とは別体の前記湯水混合部１における湯温調整を行うための湯温調整操作部５を設けることが好ましい。 Further, the faucet device 6 is provided with a hot and cold water mixing section 1 for mixing water and hot water, and hot water mixed in the hot water and water mixing section 1 is respectively opened and closed by the plurality of water discharge sections 2 by the independent opening or closing of the plurality of valve means 7. Water temperature adjustment for performing hot water temperature adjustment in the hot water / water mixing section 1 separately from the plurality of lever handles 3 that are independently discharged or stopped and each of the plurality of valve means 7 is opened and closed independently. It is preferable to provide the operation unit 5.

このような構成とすることで、湯温調整操作部５が上記複数のレバーハンドル３とは別体のものであるため、複数のレバーハンドル３をそれぞれ独立して操作する際、いずれのレバーハンドル３を操作する際も誤って湯温が変えられて高温の湯や低温の水が吐出する恐れがない。 With such a configuration, the hot water temperature adjusting operation unit 5 is separate from the plurality of lever handles 3. Therefore, when operating the plurality of lever handles 3 independently, There is no risk that hot water or low temperature water will be discharged by accidentally changing the hot water temperature when operating 3.

本発明の請求項１記載の発明にあっては、上記のように複数のレバーハンドルはいずれも操作部の押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作をするだけで対応する各吐水部からの吐水、止水を独立して行うことができると共に、操作部の押し下げ操作と押し上げ操作は反対方向の操作であるため、手探りであっても操作部の押し下げ用の操作部や押し下げ用の操作部に手指を添えて簡単に上下移動操作できると共に直接目で確認しなくて手探りで行っても確実に吐水、止水の操作ができ、特に、洗顔や洗髪中に複数の操作部を手探りで探して操作する際に、誤って目的の操作部とは別の操作部を操作したとしても、操作部の操作方向さえ間違っていなければ、手探りであっても予期していない吐水部から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがなく、安心して洗顔や洗髪ができ、この結果、複数の吐水部を備えた水栓装置において複数のレバーハンドルの操作が、操作性よく且つ安全にできる。 In the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention, as described above, the plurality of lever handles are independent of the water discharge and water stoppage from the corresponding water discharge portions by simply pushing up and down the operation portion. Since the push-down operation and push-up operation of the operation unit are operations in opposite directions, it is easy to attach a finger to the push-down operation unit or push-down operation unit even when groping It is possible to move up and down at the same time, and even if you do not check directly with your eyes, you can surely discharge water and stop water, especially when searching and operating multiple operation parts during face washing and hair washing, Even if you accidentally operate an operation unit that is different from the target operation unit, even if the operation direction of the operation unit is not wrong, there is a situation where water is suddenly discharged from an unexpected water discharge unit even if groping. Never happen , With confidence can face wash or hair, as a result, operation of the plurality of lever handle in faucet apparatus having a plurality of water discharge portion, can be operated with good and safe.

また、請求項２記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項１記載に記載した発明の効果に加えて、複数の吐水部を設けた止水装置において、各レバーハンドルの操作部に手を添えて押し下げ用の操作部を押し下げ操作したり、押し上げ用の操作部を押し上げ操作したりするだけで、別体の湯温調整操作部で設定した湯温を維持した状態のまま対応する吐水部からの吐水、止水と流量調整とが同時に行え、このように、複数の吐水部を備えた止水装置において吐水、止水をするための部材以外に別部材としての複数の流量調整弁とこれを操作するための複数の操作部が必要でなく、複数の吐水部を設けた水栓装置における機構の簡略化、小型化、部品点数の削減が可能となると共に操作性が向上する。 In addition, in the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 above, in the water stop device provided with a plurality of water discharge portions, a hand is attached to the operation portion of each lever handle. By simply pushing down the operating part for pushing down or pushing up the operating part for pushing up, the hot water temperature set by the separate hot water temperature adjusting operation part is maintained and the corresponding water discharge part is maintained. Water discharge, water stop and flow rate adjustment at the same time, in this way, a plurality of flow rate adjusting valves as separate members in addition to a member for water discharge and water stop in a water stop device provided with a plurality of water discharge units and this A plurality of operation sections for operating the stool are not required, and the mechanism in the faucet device provided with the plurality of water discharge sections can be simplified, downsized, and the number of parts can be reduced and the operability is improved.

また、請求項３記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項１又は請求項２に記載した発明の効果に加えて、各操作部に誤って上方から物が落下して当たったりして操作部に下方への押し下げ力が作用しても、下方に移動した操作部に対応した吐水部が止水となり、不意に吐水部から湯水が吐水しないようにできる。 Further, in the invention described in claim 3, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 or claim 2, the operation unit may accidentally fall on and hit each operation unit from above. Even if a downward pressing force is applied to the water discharge portion, the water discharge portion corresponding to the operation portion moved downward is stopped, and hot water is not unexpectedly discharged from the water discharge portion.

The two outflow holes 22 (22a, 22b) and the respective holes 26 are communicated or non-communication by communicating with the hole 21 and by independently rotating the respective rotation valves 23. Thus, the flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the degree of opening / closing and communication (that is, the opening amount) of each rotary valve 23. As will be described later, the water discharger 2 is connected to the two outflow holes 22 respectively.

筒体部２０内にそれぞれ回動自在に嵌め込んだ各回動弁２３の開口部２４と反対側の軸方向の端部には各レバーハンドル３の後端部の取付け部２７がそれぞれ筒体部２０の軸方向の両側端面に沿うように取付けてあり、この筒体部２０の両側端面に沿うように両回動弁２３の端部に取付けた２個のレバーハンドル３の前部が筒体部２０の前面よりも前方に突出形成してあって操作部４となっている。 Attaching portions 27 at the rear end portions of the lever handles 3 are respectively attached to the end portions in the axial direction opposite to the opening portions 24 of the respective rotary valves 23 that are rotatably fitted in the cylindrical portion 20. The two lever handles 3 attached to the end portions of the two rotary valves 23 so as to be along the both side end surfaces of the cylindrical body portion 20 are attached to the cylindrical end portions of the cylindrical body portion 20. The operation unit 4 is formed so as to protrude forward from the front surface of the unit 20.

図２に示す実施形態では、取付け部２７の前端部から筒体部２０の前面よりも前方に突出するように形成した操作部４は、取付け部２７の前端部の軸方向の外側端部から筒体部２０の軸方向の中間部分まで至る横長さとなっており、両側のレバーハンドル３の前部に設けた両操作部４の後端部により筒体部２０の前面が覆われるようになっている。各操作部４は後端部を除く大部分が略平板状をしていて、上面部が押し下げ用の操作部４ａ、下面部が押し上げ用の操作部４ｂとなっており、この操作部４の後端部が筒体部２０の外周部前面に沿って筒体部２０の前面の軸方向の片側半部を覆うための断面弧状をした覆い部２８となっている。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the operation portion 4 formed so as to protrude forward from the front end portion of the attachment portion 27 to the front side of the cylindrical body portion 20 is formed from the outer end portion in the axial direction of the front end portion of the attachment portion 27. It has a horizontal length that extends to an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the cylindrical body portion 20, and the front end of the cylindrical body portion 20 is covered by the rear end portions of both operation portions 4 provided at the front portions of the lever handles 3 on both sides. ing. Most of the operation parts 4 except for the rear end part are substantially flat, the upper part is an operation part 4a for pushing down, and the lower part is an operation part 4b for pushing up. The rear end portion is a cover portion 28 having an arcuate cross section for covering one axial half of the front surface of the cylindrical body portion 20 along the front surface of the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical body portion 20.

各操作部４は上方への押し上げ・下方への押し下げ操作のみが可能なように上下方向にのみ可動自在となり、各レバーハンドル３はそれぞれ操作部４を上に上げた状態又は下に下げた状態の一方が対応する弁手段７である回動弁２３が開（つまり一方の回動弁２３の孔２６と一方の流出孔２２ａとが連通する状態、又は、他方の回動弁２３の孔２６と他方の流出孔２２ｂとが連通する状態）となり、他方が閉（つまり一方の回動弁２３の孔２６と一方の流出孔２２ａとが非連通となる状態、又は、他方の回動弁２３の孔２６と他方の流出孔２２ｂとが非連通となる状態）となっている。そして、各操作部４の上記開位置Ａと閉位置Ｂとの間が該当する吐水部２から吐水する湯水の流量を調整する水量調整域Ｃとなっている。 Each operation unit 4 is movable only in the vertical direction so that only upward push-down and downward push-down operations are possible, and each lever handle 3 is in a state where the operation unit 4 is raised or lowered, respectively. One of the rotary valve 23 corresponding to the valve means 7 is open (that is, the state in which the hole 26 of one rotary valve 23 and the one outflow hole 22a communicate with each other, or the hole 26 of the other rotary valve 23). And the other outflow hole 22b communicate with each other) and the other is closed (that is, the state in which the hole 26 of one rotation valve 23 and the one outflow hole 22a are not in communication), or the other rotation valve 23. The hole 26 and the other outflow hole 22b are in a non-communication state). And between the said open position A and the closed position B of each operation part 4 is the water quantity adjustment area C which adjusts the flow volume of the hot water discharged from the corresponding water discharging part 2. FIG.

レバーハンドル３の操作部４は、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９とその断面形状が同じ又はほぼ同じ形状をしている。 The operation part 4 of the lever handle 3 has the same or substantially the same cross-sectional shape as the operation part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the lever handle 18 for adjusting the hot water temperature.

上記のようにユニット化された湯水混合部１と、ユニット化された弁機構部９とをそれぞれ基体１０にねじ具２９により固着することで取付けてある。 The unitized hot / cold water mixing unit 1 and the unitized valve mechanism unit 9 are attached to the base 10 by fixing them with the screw tool 29, respectively.

ここで、図２に示すように、ユニット化された湯水混合部１の筒部１３の中心軸と、ユニット化された弁機構部９の筒体部２０の中心軸とが同軸となり且つユニット化された湯水混合部１とユニット化された弁機構部９とが同軸上に隣接するように基体１０に取付けられる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the central axis of the cylindrical portion 13 of the unitized hot and cold water mixing section 1 and the central axis of the cylindrical portion 20 of the unitized valve mechanism section 9 are coaxial and unitized. The hot and cold mixing unit 1 and the unitized valve mechanism unit 9 are attached to the base body 10 so as to be coaxially adjacent to each other.

この場合、ユニット化された弁機構部９の筒体部２０の一側面に一方のレバーハンドル３を介して湯水混合部１の筒部１３の湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８を設けていない方の側端面を隣接配置されるものである。 In this case, one side of the cylindrical body portion 20 of the unitized valve mechanism 9 is not provided with the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18 of the cylindrical portion 13 of the hot water mixing portion 1 via one lever handle 3. The side end faces are arranged adjacent to each other.

また、湯水流出部１６と流入孔部２１とが接続管３４で連通接続される。 Further, the hot water outflow portion 16 and the inflow hole portion 21 are connected in communication by a connection pipe 34.

更に、水流入部１４に給水用接続管１４ａを接続すると共に湯流入部１５に給湯用接続管１５ａを接続し、更にまた、２つの流出孔２２（２２ａ、２２ｂ）にそれぞれ流出管４５ａ、４５ｂを接続する。流出管４５ａ、４５ｂのうち一方、図３、図４においては流出管４５ａは先端部がそのまま吐水部２（カラン吐水部２ａ）となっていて、一方の流出孔２２ａの真下に配設してあって、下方に吐水するようになっている。 Further, a water supply connection pipe 14a is connected to the water inflow part 14, a hot water supply connection pipe 15a is connected to the hot water inflow part 15, and the outflow pipes 45a and 45b are respectively connected to the two outflow holes 22 (22a and 22b). Connect. One of the outflow pipes 45a and 45b, in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the outflow pipe 45a has a water discharge part 2 (curan water discharge part 2a) as it is, and is disposed directly below one of the outflow holes 22a. And it is designed to discharge water downward.

基体１０には更にカバー部１１が取付けられ、カバー部１１により弁機構部９の筒体部２０、両レバーハンドル３の後端部の取付け部２７、湯水混合部１の筒部１３の筒部１３を覆うようになっている。 A cover part 11 is further attached to the base body 10, and the cover part 11 allows the cylindrical part 20 of the valve mechanism part 9, the attaching part 27 at the rear end part of both lever handles 3, and the cylindrical part of the cylindrical part 13 of the hot and cold mixing part 1. 13 is covered.

カバー部１１には前面部に前面開口部３１が設けてあり、この前面開口部３１から両レバーハンドル３の前部に設けた各操作部４が前方に向けて突出し、前方に向けて突出した各操作部４は上方に押し上げ操作したり、下方に押し下げ操作したりすることができるように上下方向に移動自在となっており、各操作部４を上方向に押し上げたり、下方向に押し下げたりすることで、各レバーハンドル３を筒体部２０の軸芯を中心にして回動自在となっている。操作部４を押し上げたり、押し下げたりすることによるレバーハンドル３の回動角度は特に限定はないが、一例を挙げると４５°の回動範囲とする。 A front opening 31 is provided on the front surface of the cover 11, and each operation unit 4 provided at the front of both lever handles 3 protrudes forward from the front opening 31 and protrudes forward. Each operation unit 4 is movable up and down so that it can be pushed up or down, and each operation unit 4 can be pushed up or down. By doing so, each lever handle 3 can be rotated around the axis of the cylindrical portion 20. There is no particular limitation on the rotation angle of the lever handle 3 when the operation unit 4 is pushed up or down, but a rotation range of 45 ° is taken as an example.

各レバーハンドル３の操作部４の後端に設けた覆い部２８によりカバー部１１の前面開口部３１を遮蔽するようになっており、これにより、レバーハンドル３を回動しても筒体部２０の前面が外部に露出することなく覆い部２８により覆われるようになっている。この結果、覆い部２８が筒体部２０の一部（前部）を覆う断熱カバーの役目を兼用し、カバー部１１による断熱のために覆う面積を少なくしてカバー部１１の材料を少なくできる。 The front opening 31 of the cover portion 11 is shielded by a cover portion 28 provided at the rear end of the operation portion 4 of each lever handle 3, so that even if the lever handle 3 is rotated, the cylinder portion The front surface of 20 is covered with the cover portion 28 without being exposed to the outside. As a result, the cover portion 28 also serves as a heat insulating cover that covers a part (front portion) of the cylindrical portion 20, and the area covered for heat insulation by the cover portion 11 can be reduced and the material of the cover portion 11 can be reduced. .

したがって、筒体部２０、操作部４の取付け部２７はカバー部１１及び覆い部２８に覆われて、この部分が施工状態において外部に露出しないようになっている。 Therefore, the cylinder part 20 and the attachment part 27 of the operation part 4 are covered with the cover part 11 and the cover part 28, and this part is not exposed outside in the construction state.

また、カバー部１１は湯水混合部１の筒部１３を覆って筒部１３が施工状態において外部に露出しないようになっており、更に、このカバー部１１の湯水混合部１を覆っている部分の前面部から前方に向けて一体に略平板状をしたダミー操作部３３が突出してある。 Moreover, the cover part 11 covers the cylindrical part 13 of the hot water / mixing part 1 so that the cylindrical part 13 is not exposed to the outside in the construction state. Further, the cover part 11 covers the hot / cold mixing part 1. A dummy operation portion 33 that is integrally formed in a substantially flat plate shape is projected from the front portion toward the front.

ここで、ダミー操作部３３の断面形状は、前述の操作部４、湯温調整用の操作部１９とその断面形状が同じ又はほぼ同じ形状をしているがカバー部１１から一体に突出しているため押し下げ力、押し上げ力が作用してもカバー部１１に対して動くことはない。 Here, the cross-sectional shape of the dummy operation unit 33 is the same as or substantially the same as the operation unit 4 and the operation unit 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature, but protrudes integrally from the cover unit 11. Therefore, it does not move with respect to the cover portion 11 even if a pressing force or a pressing force is applied.

また、ダミー操作部３３の横方向の長さは筒部１３の軸方向の長さと同じ又はほぼ同じ長さとなっており、該ダミー操作部３３が、前述の湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９と、２つの隣接するレバーハンドル３の各操作部４のうち一方の操作部４ａとの間に介在してある。このようにレバーハンドル３の操作部４と、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９との間にダミー操作部３３を介在させることで、操作部４の操作の際に誤って湯温調整用の操作部１９を操作したり、あるいは、湯温調整用の操作部１９を操作する際に誤って操作部４を操作することがないように、ダミー操作部３３が両者の仕切りの役目をする。 Further, the lateral length of the dummy operation portion 33 is the same as or substantially the same as the axial length of the cylindrical portion 13, and the dummy operation portion 33 is connected to the hot water of the aforementioned hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18. The temperature adjusting operation unit 19 is interposed between one operation unit 4 a of the operation units 4 of the two adjacent lever handles 3. In this manner, by interposing the dummy operation portion 33 between the operation portion 4 of the lever handle 3 and the operation portion 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the lever handle 18 for adjusting the hot water temperature, the operation portion 4 can be operated. The dummy operation unit 33 is arranged so that the operation unit 4 is not operated accidentally when the operation unit 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature is operated or the operation unit 4 is operated by mistake when operating the operation unit 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature. Serves as a partition.

両レバーハンドル３の操作部４は、各操作部４が閉位置Ｂとなった状態で互いに上面が面一となり、更に、この操作部４が閉位置Ｂの状態で上面がダミー操作部３３の上面と面一となるように設定してある。なお、図１乃至図５に示す実施形態では各操作部４を下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置、図３、４で実線で示す位置）が閉位置Ｂで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置、図３、４で二点鎖線で示す位置）が全開位置Ａとなっている。 The operation portions 4 of the lever handles 3 are flush with each other when the operation portions 4 are in the closed position B, and the upper surface is the dummy operation portion 33 when the operation portion 4 is in the closed position B. It is set to be flush with the upper surface. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the position where each operation unit 4 is pushed down to the maximum (the lowest position, the position indicated by the solid line in FIGS. 3 and 4) is the closed position B, and each operation unit 4 is The position pushed up to the maximum (the uppermost position, the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIGS. 3 and 4) is the fully open position A.

また、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９は、湯温調整用の操作部１９の上面が上記ダミー操作部３３の上面と面一となった位置がちょうど湯温略４０℃となるように設定してある。したがって、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９が湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９の上面とダミー操作部３３の上面とが面一又は略面一となっているか、否かを見るだけで、一目で通常の使用における最も平均的な使用湯温である湯温略４０℃であるか、否かが理解できる。また、この、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９がダミー操作部３３と面一となるようにするだけで、簡単に湯温を略４０℃に設定することができるようになっている。 Further, the operation part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the lever handle 18 for adjusting the hot water temperature is such that the upper surface of the operation part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature is flush with the upper surface of the dummy operation part 33. It is set to be 40 ° C. Accordingly, the operation portion 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the lever handle 18 for adjusting the hot water temperature is flush with or substantially the same as the upper surface of the operation portion 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the lever handle 18 for adjusting the hot water temperature. It is possible to understand at a glance whether or not the hot water temperature is about 40 ° C., which is the average hot water temperature in normal use, at a glance simply by looking at whether or not they are the same. Further, the hot water temperature can be easily set to about 40 ° C. simply by making the hot water temperature adjusting operation portion 19 of the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18 flush with the dummy operating portion 33. It is like that.

そして、湯温調整用の操作部１９がダミー操作部３３と面一となっている状態から上面部の湯水混合用の押し下げ用の操作部１９ａを押し下げ操作したり、あるいは下面部の湯水混合用の押し上げ用の操作部１９ｂを押し上げ操作することで、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８を湯水混合部１の筒部１３の中心軸を中心にして回動して、略４０℃より湯温を高くなるように調整したり、略４０℃より湯温を低くなるように調整することができる。 Then, from the state in which the operation part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature is flush with the dummy operation part 33, the operation part 19a for pushing down the hot water mixing on the upper surface part is pushed down, or the hot water mixing on the lower surface part is performed. By pushing up the push-up operation part 19b, the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18 is rotated around the central axis of the cylindrical part 13 of the hot water mixing part 1 to raise the hot water temperature from about 40 ° C. The hot water temperature can be adjusted to be lower than about 40 ° C.

上記のような構成の水栓装置６は、給水用接続管１４ａに水道管を接続し、給湯用接続管１５ａに給湯管を接続する。 The faucet device 6 configured as described above connects a water pipe to the water supply connecting pipe 14a and connects a hot water supply pipe to the hot water connecting pipe 15a.

また、図１乃至図５に示す実施形態の水栓装置６は、浴室や洗面化粧台などに設定する例を示しており、他方の流出管４５ｂにはシャワーホース３５の一端が接続され、該シャワーホース３５の他端のシャワーヘッド３６が他方の吐水部２（シャワー吐水部２ｂ）となっている。 Further, the faucet device 6 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 shows an example of setting in a bathroom, a bathroom vanity, etc., and one end of a shower hose 35 is connected to the other outflow pipe 45b. The shower head 36 at the other end of the shower hose 35 is the other water discharge part 2 (shower water discharge part 2b).

上記のように施工された水栓装置６の使用に当たって、カラン吐水部２ａの吐水、止水をする場合は、一方のレバーハンドル３の操作部４を押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作することにより行い、また、シャワー吐水部２ｂの吐水、止水をする場合は、他方のレバーハンドル３の操作部４を押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作することにより行う。そして、これらの各レバーハンドル３の操作部４の押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作はそれぞれ独立して行うことができ、また、両操作部４を同時に押し上げ操作したり、あるいは押し下げ操作することができる。したがって、カラン吐水部２ａ、シャワー吐水部２ｂの両方が止水状態において、カラン吐水部２ａ、シャワー吐水部２ｂのいずれか一方からのみ吐水、あるいは、カラン吐水部２ａ、シャワー吐水部２ｂの両方を同時に吐水という操作が簡単にできる。また、カラン吐水部２ａ、シャワー吐水部２ｂの両方が吐水状態において、カラン吐水部２ａ、シャワー吐水部２ｂのいずれか一方のみの止水、あるいは、カラン吐水部２ａ、シャワー吐水部２ｂの両方を同時に止水という操作が簡単にできる。 In the use of the faucet device 6 constructed as described above, when water discharge and water stop of the currant water discharge part 2a are performed, the operation part 4 of one lever handle 3 is pushed up and pushed down, and When the shower water discharger 2b discharges and stops water, the operation unit 4 of the other lever handle 3 is pushed up and down. Then, the push-up operation and push-down operation of the operation unit 4 of each lever handle 3 can be performed independently, and both the operation units 4 can be pushed up or down simultaneously. Therefore, when both the curan water spouting unit 2a and the shower water discharging unit 2b are in a water-stopped state, water is discharged only from either the curan water discharging unit 2a or the shower water discharging unit 2b, or both the curan water discharging unit 2a and the shower water discharging unit 2b are used. At the same time, the operation of water discharge can be easily performed. In addition, when both the karan water spouting unit 2a and the shower water discharging unit 2b are in the water discharging state, the water stoppage of only one of the kalan water discharging unit 2a and the shower water discharging unit 2b, or both the kalan water discharging unit 2a and the shower water discharging unit 2b At the same time, it is easy to stop water.

そして、本発明においては、各操作部４がいずれも押し下げ操作と押し上げ操作が反対方向の操作であるため、手探りであっても操作部４に手を添えて押し上げ操作又は押し下げ操作をすることで直接目で確認しなくても誤り無く操作ができ、このように、各操作部はいずれも押し上げ操作と押し下げ操作とで開閉が決まっているので、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っているときや、洗顔している時のように、水栓装置６を目で見ることなく、手探りでレバーハンドル３の操作部４を探して、操作する場合でも誤操作することがない。 And in this invention, since each operation part 4 is the operation in which the pushing-down operation and the pushing-up operation are the opposite directions, even if it is groping, by putting a hand on the operation part 4 and carrying out pushing-up operation or pushing-down operation, Even if you do not check directly with your eyes, you can operate without error, and as you can see, each operation part is opened and closed by pushing up and pushing down, so when washing your hair with shampoo etc. Even when the operation part 4 of the lever handle 3 is searched and searched without looking at the faucet device 6 with the eyes as in the case of the operation, there is no erroneous operation.

例えば、シャワー吐水部２ｂが止水で且つカラン吐水部２ａが吐水の状態で、石鹸などで洗顔している時、カラン吐水部２ａを止水にしようとして、手探りで、カラン吐水部２ａ用の操作部４（カラン用の操作部）を探して止水操作をする際、誤ってシャワー用の操作部４を止水側に操作しようとしても、シャワー吐水部２ｂは既に止水となっているので、シャワー吐水部２ｂから突然吐水されるというようなおそれがない。 For example, when the shower water spouting unit 2b is still water and the karan water spouting unit 2a is in the state of water spouting, and the face is washed with soap or the like, the karan water spouting unit 2a is used to stop the water for the karan water spouting unit 2a. When searching for the operation unit 4 (operation unit for currant) and performing a water stop operation, the shower water discharge unit 2b is already stopped even if the shower operation unit 4 is erroneously operated to the water stop side. Therefore, there is no fear that water is suddenly discharged from the shower water discharger 2b.

また、シャワー吐水部２ｂが吐水で且つカラン吐水部２ａが止水の状態で、シャンプーなどで洗髪している時、シャワー吐水部２ｂを止水にしようとして、手探りで、シャワー吐水部２ｂ用のシャワー用の操作部４を止水側に操作する際、誤ってカラン用の操作部４を止水側に操作しようとしても、既に止水しているため、カラン吐水部２ａから突然吐水されるというようなおそれがない。 Further, when the shower water discharger 2b is water discharge and the currant water discharger 2a is in a water stoppage state and the hair is washed with a shampoo or the like, the shower water discharger 2b is used to stop the water for the shower water discharger 2b. When the shower operation unit 4 is operated to the water stop side, even if an attempt is made to accidentally operate the curan operation unit 4 to the water stop side, the water is already stopped, so the water is suddenly discharged from the water discharge unit 2a. There is no such a fear.

したがって、複数の操作部４を手探りで探して操作する際に、上記のような誤操作をしても、操作部４の操作方向さえ間違っていなければ、手探りであっても予期していない吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがなく、安心して洗顔や洗髪ができる。 Therefore, when searching for and operating a plurality of operation units 4 by hand search, even if the operation direction of the operation unit 4 is not wrong even if the above-described erroneous operation is performed, the water discharge unit which is not expected even by hand search No sudden water discharge from 2 will occur, and you can wash your face and hair with peace of mind.

また、例えば、２つの吐水部２のうち、いずれか一方から湯水を吐水したまま放置して止水するのを忘れていたような時、一方の吐水部２から湯水が吐水しているのに気付き、あわてて一方の吐水部２側の操作部４を止水側に操作しようとする場合、あわてているので、誤って別の吐水部２の操作部４を止水側に操作しても、別の吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがない。 In addition, for example, when one of the two water dischargers 2 forgets to stop the water while discharging hot water from one of the two water dischargers 2, the water is discharged from one water discharger 2. If you notice and panic and try to operate the operation part 4 on the one water discharge part 2 side to the water stop side, since it is rushing, even if you accidentally operate the operation part 4 of another water discharge part 2 to the water stop side The situation where water is suddenly discharged from another water discharge part 2 does not occur.

上記のように、各レバーハンドル３の操作部４の押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作により対向する各吐水部２からの吐水、止水を行うのであるが、各操作部４の上下方向への移動量を調整することで対応する各吐水部２から吐水する湯水の流量を同時に調整することができる。 As described above, water is discharged from each water discharger 2 and water is stopped by pushing up and down the operation part 4 of each lever handle 3, and the amount of movement of each operation part 4 in the vertical direction is set. By adjusting, the flow volume of the hot water discharged from each corresponding water discharging part 2 can be adjusted simultaneously.

したがって、本発明においては、複数の吐水部２に対応して、別部材としての複数の流量調整弁とこれを操作するための複数の操作部とを必要とせず、水栓装置６の小型化、部品点数の削減が可能となる。また、各操作部４の上下方向の移動のみで対応する吐水部２からの吐水、止水と流量調整とが同時にできるので、操作性が向上する。 Therefore, in the present invention, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of flow rate adjustment valves as separate members and a plurality of operation units for operating the same, corresponding to the plurality of water discharge units 2, and downsizing the faucet device 6. The number of parts can be reduced. Moreover, since the water discharge from the water discharge part 2 corresponding to only the movement of each operation part 4 to the up-down direction, water stop, and flow volume adjustment can be performed simultaneously, operativity improves.

しかも、上記複数のレバーハンドル３が湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８と別体なので、複数のレバーハンドル３をそれぞれ独立して操作する際、いずれのレバーハンドル３を操作する際も誤って湯温が変えられて高温の湯や低温の水が吐出する恐れがない。 In addition, since the plurality of lever handles 3 are separate from the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18, when the plurality of lever handles 3 are independently operated, the temperature of the hot water is mistakenly operated when any lever handle 3 is operated. There is no danger of hot or cold water being discharged.

また、図１乃至図５に示す実施形態では各操作部４を下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置）が閉位置Ｂで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置）が全開位置Ａとしてあるので、誤って、各操作部４に個別にあるいは同時に物が当たったりして上方から押し下げ力が作用しても、操作部４は元々閉位置にいるか、又は開位置にいても下方に押し下げられて閉位置となるので、複数の吐水部２から不意に吐水がするという恐れがない。また、この実施形態においては、閉位置Ｂがほぼ水平となっていてほぼ水平姿勢のダミー操作部３３と面一又はほぼ面一となっており、この場合は、水栓装置６の下方の空間を広く使え、特に、カラン吐水部２ａ側の吐水空間が広く且つ見やすくなり、操作部４を上方に押し上げてカラン吐水部２ａから吐水させ、このカラン吐水部２ａから吐水される湯水を使用する際に操作部４が邪魔にならず、カラン吐水部２ａの使用が便利となる。 Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the position where the operation parts 4 are pushed down to the maximum (lowermost position) is the closed position B, and the position where each operation part 4 is pushed up (the uppermost position). Is in the fully open position A. Even if the operation unit 4 is accidentally hit with each operation unit 4 individually or at the same time, and the pressing force acts from above, the operation unit 4 is originally in the closed position or in the open position. However, since it is pushed down to the closed position, there is no fear that water is unexpectedly discharged from the plurality of water discharging portions 2. Further, in this embodiment, the closed position B is substantially horizontal and is flush with or substantially flush with the dummy operation portion 33 in a substantially horizontal posture. In this case, the space below the faucet device 6 In particular, when the water discharge space on the side of the water discharge portion 2a is wide and easy to see, the operation portion 4 is pushed upward to discharge water from the water discharge portion 2a, and hot water discharged from the water discharge portion 2a is used. In addition, the operation unit 4 does not get in the way, and the use of the currant water spouting unit 2a is convenient.

もちろん、本発明の水栓装置６において、図６に示す実施形態のように、各操作部４を下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置）が全開位置Ａで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置）が閉位置Ｂとしてもよいものである。この場合は、例えば、閉位置Ｂがほぼ水平となっていてほぼ水平姿勢のダミー操作部３３と面一又はほぼ面一となっていると、水栓装置６の上方の空間に操作部４が突出せず、この部分を操作部４に邪魔されず、別の用途に使用したり、広い空間として利用できる。 Of course, in the water faucet device 6 of the present invention, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the position where the operation parts 4 are pushed down to the maximum (lowermost position) is the fully open position A, and each operation part 4 is at the maximum. The position pushed up to the uppermost position (uppermost position) may be the closed position B. In this case, for example, when the closed position B is substantially horizontal and is substantially flush with or substantially flush with the dummy operation part 33 in a substantially horizontal posture, the operation part 4 is located in the space above the faucet device 6. It does not protrude, and this portion is not obstructed by the operation unit 4 and can be used for another purpose or used as a wide space.
