In this specification, it describes in FIG. 10, FIG. This is configured so that the amount of protrusion of the faucet body 50 having the water discharge port 40 to the wall surface is suppressed by fixing the box 70 inside the wall and housing the faucet body 50 inside the box.

    At this time, the box 70 is fixed to a pillar or the like in the wall by using a long hole 230 provided in the box side surface 210 or the box upper surface 220 and the screw 200, as shown in FIG. The screw 200 needs to be screwed in from the opening side of the box 70 because of the space inside the box 70. The screw 200 is against the box side surface 210 and the box upper surface 220, and the wall on which the box side surface 210 or the box upper surface 220 is joined. It is screwed diagonally with respect to the fixed surface such as the inner pillar.

JP 2002-76309 A

    At this time, the seat of the screw 200 hits the box side surface 210 and the box upper surface 220, and as the screw is tightened, a force is applied to the back side of the wall and the box 70 is displaced to the back side of the wall. Therefore, it takes a long time to adjust the positional deviation, or if the construction is performed without adjusting the positional deviation, the cover 300 or the handle may not be attached, or a gap may be generated between the cover 300 and the wall.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, it is necessary to adjust the position of the box 70 due to the difference in the thickness of the wall material using a spacer 80 or the like.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fixing member for a wall-embedded water faucet that does not cause a positional shift with respect to a stud or the like when the fixing member is fastened to a stud or the like provided on the back side of a wall. Furthermore, without using a spacer corresponding to the wall thickness, the fixing member can be fixed at a fixing position corresponding to the thickness of the wall material without being displaced to a stud provided on the back side in the wall. The object is to provide a faucet fixing member.

  The fixing member of the present invention is a wall-embedded faucet that is provided on the back surface side of the wall and is screwed to a column having a facing surface facing the back surface of the wall and a fixing surface perpendicular to the facing surface, and fixes the faucet body. The fixing member is formed with a screw hole that is inclined with respect to the fixing surface and into which the screw is inserted toward the back of the wall, and has a screw fixing portion that contacts the fixing surface, and is fixed to the screw. The fixing member of the wall-embedded water faucet has a collar portion that abuts against the opposite surface when the fixing member is fixed to the column and prevents the fixing member from being displaced relative to the column. .

  With such a configuration, there is a collar portion that comes into contact with the opposite surface of the column in order to prevent displacement of the fixing member with respect to the column, so that when the fixing member is screwed to the column, the fixing member becomes a wall. After fixing the faucet body to the fixing member, it takes time to fix the fixing member due to the shifting of the fixing position, or the construction without adjusting the shifting of the fixing position. There is no problem that the cover or handle to be attached cannot be attached, or that there is a gap between the cover and the wall.

  Here, it is preferable that the collar portion can correspond to a plurality of fixing positions with respect to the column of the fixing member due to a difference in thickness of the wall material.

  With such a configuration, the fixing position of the fixing member with respect to the pillar can be changed by adjusting the collar portion depending on the thickness of the wall material, so it becomes possible to cope with various wall material thicknesses, There is no need for a spacer for adjusting the thickness of the wall material.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the collar part is formed integrally with the fixing member and can be cut off from the fixing member.

  With such a configuration, the collar portion is formed integrally with the fixing member, and the collar portion can be easily cut off, so that the opening area of the wall material is increased in consideration of the collar portion. In addition, there is no need to prepare the collar part as a separate part, so it is easy for the installer to install.

  Moreover, even if a collar part is removable with respect to a fixing member, it is preferable.

  With such a configuration, since the collar portion is removable, the collar portion can be removed after the fixing member is fixed to the column, so that the opening area of the wall material is increased in consideration of the collar portion. There is no need to do.

    Moreover, even if a collar part can be accommodated in the inside of the said fixing member, it is preferable.

    With such a configuration, since the collar portion can be accommodated inside the fixing member, the collar portion can be accommodated inside the fixing member after the fixing member is fixed to the column. There is no need to increase the area in consideration of the collar portion.

  Further, the screw fixing portion has a screw fixing surface that abuts against the fixing surface of the column, and the collar portion extends in a direction perpendicular to the fixing surface and is detachable from the fixing member; It consists of a second collar part that extends in a direction perpendicular to the first collar part and can be cut off from the first collar part, and depending on the fixing position of the fixing member with respect to the column, the second collar part or It is preferable that the second collar portion is cut off from the first collar portion so that the first collar portion can come into contact with the facing surface.

  With such a configuration, when the wall material is thicker than the two general types of wall materials, the second collar portion is brought into contact with the opposite surface of the column, and the fixing member is not displaced. If the wall material is thin, before fixing the fixing member to the column, cut off the second collar part from the first collar part, abut the first collar part on the opposite side of the pillar, The fixing member can be fixed to the column without being displaced. In this way, it can be easily fixed to a plurality of fixing positions, and can be cut off after fixing.

  Furthermore, after fixing the fixing member to the column, the first collar portion can be cut off from the fixing member, that is, the collar portion can be removed from the fixing member, so that the opening area of the wall material is reduced to the portion of the collar portion. There is no need to make it larger. Further, since the collar portion is formed integrally with the fixing member, the collar portion is not prepared as a separate part, so that the construction can be easily performed by the installer.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION By this invention, when fixing a fixing member to the stud etc. provided in the back surface side of the wall, the fixing member of the wall embedding faucet which does not produce position shift can be provided. Furthermore, without using a spacer corresponding to the wall thickness, the wall-embedded water can be fixed to a stud or the like provided on the back side of the wall at a fixed position corresponding to the thickness of the wall material without being displaced.

The construction procedure will now be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the tree 101 is installed at an appropriate height of the stud 100 on the back of the wall. At this time, the tree 101 is installed paying attention to the level. Next, the fixing member side surface 11 and the flange end surface 116 of the second collar portion 18 are opposed to the fixing surface and the facing surface of the stud 100, and the fixing member upper surface 12 and the collar end surface 116 of the second collar portion 18 are fixed to the fixing surface of the tree 101 and The screws 13 are respectively attached to the facing surfaces, and the screws 13 are passed through the screw holes 14 and screwed into the studs 100 and the wood 101 to fix the fixing member 7.

At this time, since the outer peripheral frame 15 of the fixing member 7 is provided, the screw 13 is screwed into the inter-column 100 and the wood 101 smoothly from the wall surface side. Therefore, a force is applied to the fixing member 7 on the back side of the wall, and the fixing member 7 tends to shift to the back side of the wall. However, as described above, the collar end surface 116 of the second collar portion 18 has the intermediate pillar 100 and the tree 101. Can be fixed at a predetermined position without shifting to the back side of the wall.

After fixing the screw 13, the collar portion 16 is removed from the fixing member 7. As a specific procedure, the tip of a flathead screwdriver is inserted into the gap between the face of the stud 100 or the wood 101 and the collar portion 16 and squeezed. Then, a force acts on the front surface of the wall of the first collar portion 17, but as described above, the recess 112 is disposed between the first collar portion 17 and the side surface 11 and the upper surface 12 of the fixing member 7, It is thin. For this reason, the first collar portion 17 is broken at the thin wall portion with respect to the above-described force in the wall front side direction, separated from the side surface 11 and the upper surface 12, and can be removed. Thereafter, the flange portion 16 connected to the side surface 11 not along the stud 100 can also be removed by folding at the recess 112 by applying force to the wall surface side by hand.

Further, the faucet body 5 is screwed to the fixing member 7 and the water supply pipe 113 is connected to the water supply port 6, and then the wall W is opened along the outer peripheral frame 15 of the fixing member 7 and fixed to the stud 100. Thereafter, the cover 3 and the handle 2 are fixed.

Next, the construction when the thickness of the wall W is different and thinner than the above will be described.

A concave portion 111 is provided between them, and the second collar portion 18 is pulled by hand in a direction away from the side surface 11 and the upper surface 12. Then, the collar portion 16 is broken at the concave portion 111 and can be removed.

Then, the fixing member 7 is fixed. However, the difference from the above-described procedure is that the portion along the facing surface of the stud 100 and the wood 101 is not the second collar portion 18 but the first collar portion end surface 115 of the first collar portion 17. Is to become. After the fixing member 7 is fixed to the inter-column 100 and the wood 101 with the screw 13, a flathead screwdriver is applied to the first collar portion 17 and the facing surfaces of the inter-column 100 and the wood 101. As a result, as in the case described above, the first collar portion 117 is bent from the recess 112 and detached from the fixing member 7.

As described above, by removing the second collar portion 18 in advance, it is not necessary to use a member such as a spacer even when the wall W is thinner than L3.

Since the fixing member 7 and the collar portion 16 are integrally formed, there is no risk of loss, and after fixing the fixing member 7, the collar portion 16 can be cut off from the fixing member 7. It is not necessary to increase the opening area in consideration of the collar portion 16, and the outer peripheral frame 15 of the fixing member 7 serves as a guide for the opening of the wall W, so that the construction becomes easy.

Next, based on FIGS. 5-6, 2nd Embodiment of the fixing member of this invention is described. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a collar portion. In FIG. 5, the parts denoted by the same reference numerals as those shown in FIG. 3 are the parts having the same structure and function as the constituent parts of the fixing member 7 described above, and the description thereof is omitted.

In the present embodiment, an opening 118 for attaching the flange portion 20 to the side surface 11 and the upper surface 12 of the fixing member 117 is provided. The collar portion 20 will be described.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the collar portion 20 is mainly attached to the fixing member 117, the stopper surface 22 that comes into contact with the inner surface 21 of the outer peripheral portion of the fixing member, and the A1 surface 23 and the A2 surface 24 perpendicular to the stopper surface 22. And a B1 surface 25 perpendicular to the A1 surface, a B2 surface 26 perpendicular to the A2 surface 24, and a first collar surface 27 perpendicular to the B1 surface and a second collar surface 28 perpendicular to the B2 surface. . The distance L1 between the A1 surface 23 and the first collar surface 27 is smaller than the distance L2 between the A2 surface 24 and the second collar surface 28.

Next, the construction procedure will be described. First, the flange 20 is fitted from the inner side of the outer peripheral frame 15 into the screw fixing surface (left side in FIG. 5) that contacts the side pillars 100 of the fixing member 117 and the opening 118 on the upper surface with the A1 surface 23 facing the wall. Next, the side surface 11 and the first collar surface 27 of the fixing member 117 are brought into contact with the fixing surface and the opposite surface of the stud 100, and the upper surface 12 and the first collar surface 27 are brought into contact with the fixing surface and the opposite surface of the wood 101, respectively. Is passed through the screw hole 14 and screwed into the stud 100 and the wood 101 to fix the fixing member 117. At this time, similarly to the above, a force is applied to the fixing member 117 in the depth direction of the wall. However, since the first flange surface 27 is in contact with the facing surface of the stud 100 and the tree 101, the position does not shift. Then, the tip of the flathead screwdriver is applied to the B2 surface 26 from the outside of the fixing member 117 and pushed inward. By doing so, the flange portion 20 is detached from the opening portion 118.

Furthermore, a countermeasure when the wall W is thin will be described.
In the above construction method, when attaching the flange portion 20 to the opening portion 118 of the fixing member 117, the A1 surface 23 is attached to the back side of the wall, but this time, the A2 surface 24 is set to the back side of the wall and the opening portion 118 is attached. Install. Others are the same as the above-mentioned procedure.

With such a configuration, the difference between the distances L1 and L2 can be used to deal with two types of wall materials with one component, and after fixing the fixing member to the column, the collar portion is removed. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the opening area of the wall material in consideration of the collar portion, and the outer peripheral frame 15 of the fixing member 7 serves as a guide for the opening of the wall W, so that the construction is easy.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is an external view of the collar portion, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the collar portion 30 attached to the fixing member 119. 7 that have the same reference numerals as those shown in FIG. 3 are parts having the same structure and function as the constituent parts of the fixing member 7 described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 9, the collar portion 30 includes a plate-shaped collar surface 34, a plurality of slide shaft portions 33 extending in the normal direction from the plane of the collar surface 34, a stopper portion 32 positioned at the end of the slide shaft, A thick shaft portion 120 that is provided on the slide shaft portion, extends from the stopper portion 32, and is thinner than the stopper portion 32 is provided. The slide shaft portion 33 is sufficiently thin with respect to the distance between the collar surface 34 and the stopper portion 32, and is configured to be elastically deformed when the stopper portion 32 moves in a direction parallel to the collar surface 34. .

On the other hand, the fixing member 119 has a collar attachment part 31 provided with a through hole 121 for attaching the collar part 30 to the outer peripheral frame 15. As shown in FIG. 8, the collar portion 30 is attached in a state where the slide shaft portion 33 is inserted into the through hole 121. In this state, the collar portion 30 can be rotated about the through hole 121 as an axis. Moreover, since the collar part 30 can change the distance of the collar surface 34 and the outer periphery frame 15 in two steps, this is demonstrated.

When the collar portion 30 is once pushed into the back wall side, the thick shaft portion 120 is located on the back wall side of the collar mounting portion 31, and even if the collar surface 34 is pulled in the wall surface direction from that state, the collar portion 30 is stepped. The portion 122 and the collar attachment portion 31 are in contact with each other and cannot be moved in the wall surface direction. However, when the collar portion 34 is pulled out to the wall surface side while pushing the stopper portion 32 in the axial direction of the through hole 121, the thick shaft portion 120 enters the inside of the through hole, so that the stopper portion 32 comes into contact with the collar mounting portion 31. The collar surface 34 can be pulled out.

Next, the construction method will be described.
The installer pushes the collar surface 34 of the collar portion 30 attached to the attachment member 119 toward the back side of the wall and rotates it so that the collar surface 34 protrudes from the outer peripheral frame 15 to the outside. Thereafter, the fixing member side surface 11 and the collar surface 34 are respectively attached to the fixing surface and the opposing surface of the stud 100, the fixing member upper surface 12 and the collar surface 34 are respectively attached to the fixing surface and the opposing surface of the tree 101, and the screw 13 is passed through the screw hole 14. Then, the fixing member 119 is fixed by screwing it into the stud 100 and the tree 101. At this time, as described above, force is applied to the fixing member 119 in the depth direction of the wall. However, since the collar surface 34 is in contact with the facing surface of the stud 100 and the tree 101, the position does not shift. After fixing, the collar surface 34 is rotated and arranged inside the outer peripheral portion 15, that is, inside the fixing member 119.

By doing so, the opening of the wall W can be provided along the outer peripheral portion 15.

Next, a case where the wall W is thin will be described. In this case, before fixing the fixing member 119 to the stud 100, the collar surface 34 is pulled out in the wall surface direction while pushing the stopper portion 32 in the axial direction of the through hole 121. Other than this, it is the same as described above.

By doing in this way, the position of the fixing member 119 in the wall depth direction with respect to the facing column 100 or the tree 101 can be changed and fixed. That is, the position of the fixing member 119 with respect to the surface of the wall W having a different thickness can be matched.

In the above-described embodiment, the fixing member is screw-fixed to both the stud 100 and the tree 101. However, it is not always necessary to fix the fixing member to both, and either one may be used.

  The fixing member of the present invention can be widely used in a fixing member for a wall-embedded faucet disposed in a general household, a hotel, or a public facility.
