The flange 22 is sandwiched between the faucet body 5 and the spout body 8 when the faucet body 5 and the spout body 8 are connected. That is, the upper side surface portion 5c of the faucet body portion 5 and the lower end surface 8c of the spout body portion 8 have substantially the same outer diameter, and in a state where the faucet body portion 5 and the spout body portion 8 are connected. The peripheral edge portion of the upper side surface portion 5c of the faucet main body portion 5 and the lower end surface 8c of the spout main body portion 8 serve as a mating surface, and the flange of the connecting member 20 is between the peripheral edge portion of the upper side surface portion 5c and the lower end surface 8c. Part 22 is sandwiched.

  Thus, the connecting member 20 that connects the faucet body 5 and the spout body 8 in the state fitted in the spout side opening 8a and in the state fitted outside the body side insertion part 5a, This will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. The connecting member 20 includes a spout fixing claw portion 23 and a main body fixing claw portion 24. The spout fixing claw portion 23 is a portion that forms a latching claw 23a for fixing the spout body opening 8 to the spout body portion 8 in a state in which the connecting member 20 is fitted in the spout side opening 8a. The main body fixing claw portion 24 is a portion that forms a hooking claw 24a for fixing the connecting member 20 to the faucet main body portion 5 in a state where the connecting member 20 is externally fitted to the main body side insertion portion 5a. .

  The spout fixing claw 23 is formed in the base 21. In the present embodiment, the spout fixing claw portions 23 are provided at two locations which are opposed to each other in the radial direction in the substantially cylindrical base portion 21. The two spout fixing claws 23 are formed symmetrically (in the same shape) in the opposing direction. The spout fixing claw 23 is formed as a piece that is cut out into a substantially rectangular shape with the lower side connected to the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall constituting the base 21. In other words, the spout fixing claw portion 23 is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion that forms a part of the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall constituting the base portion 21 and protrudes upward. In the substantially rectangular spout fixing claw portion 23, a hooking claw 23a is formed along the side portion on the upper side (the side opposite to the side connected to the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall).

  The latching claw 23a has a substantially isosceles triangular shape with the outer side being a hypotenuse in a cross-sectional view (see FIG. 8) passing through the position of the substantially central axis of the substantially cylindrical base 21, and is fixed to the spout by the inclination of the outer surface. The size of the claw portion 23 in the thickness direction (the radial direction of the base portion 21) is gradually reduced toward the upper side, and the step is formed as a stepped portion having the lower side as a step side. Therefore, the latching claw 23a forms a step on the outer surface portion of the spout fixing claw portion 23 and has a step surface 23b facing downward, and an inclined surface 23c inclined to the inside of the base portion 21 from the step surface 23b to the upper side. Have

  The spout fixing claw 23 engages the engaging claw 23a with an inner peripheral groove 8d as an inner peripheral recess formed on the inner peripheral surface (spout main body inner peripheral surface 8b) of the spout side opening 8a. The connecting member 20 fitted in the spout side opening 8 a is fixed to the spout main body 8. The inner circumferential groove 8d is formed over substantially the entire circumference on the inner circumferential surface of the spout side opening 8a, and has at least the same width dimension as the vertical dimension of the latching claw 23a so that the latching claw 23a fits. However, the inner circumferential groove 8d may be formed in a part of the circumferential direction on the inner circumferential surface of the spout side opening 8a.

  Thus, the connecting member 20 having the spout fixing claw 23 forming the hook claw 23a is inserted into the spout side opening 8a with the hook claw 23a side of the spout fixing claw 23 as the front side. The latching claw 23 a engages with the inner circumferential groove 8 d of the spout body 8. Specifically, when the connecting member 20 is inserted into the spout side opening 8a, the hooking claw 23a abuts the inner peripheral surface of the spout side opening 8a by the inclined surface 23c, and the spout fixing claw 23 is the base. It will be in the state elastically deformed inside from the part connected to 21. FIG. From this state, the connecting member 20 further moves to the back side of the spout side opening 8a, and the stepped surface 23b forming the hooking claw 23a reaches the inner peripheral groove 8d, so that the inside of the spout fixing claw portion 23 is reached. Due to the return action of the elastic deformation to the outside, the latching claw 23a is fitted into the inner circumferential groove 8d.

  The engaging claw 23a of the spout fixing claw 23 is engaged with the inner circumferential groove 8d, whereby the connecting member 20 is fixed to the spout body 8. That is, in a state where the latching claw 23a is engaged with the inner circumferential groove 8d, the stepped surface 23b of the latching claw 23a becomes a latching surface for the inner circumferential groove 8d, and the lower side of the connecting member 20 from the spout side opening 8a. Omission to the side is regulated. Further, when the latching claw 23 a is engaged with the inner peripheral groove 8 d, the connecting member 20 is brought into contact with the lower end surface 8 c of the spout body portion 8 with the flange portion 22 formed on the base portion 21. The upward movement of the connecting member 20 relative to the spout body 8 is restricted.

  Thus, the connecting member 20 is fixed to the spout body 8 in a state of being fitted into the spout side opening 8a by the two spout fixing claws 23. That is, in the connecting member 20 according to the present embodiment, the spout fixing claw portion 23 formed in the base portion 21 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the spout side opening portion 8a by fitting the base portion 21 into the spout side opening portion 8a. It functions as a first claw portion that engages with the inner circumferential groove 8d so as to restrict the slip of the base portion 21 from the spout side opening 8a.

  The main body fixing claw 24 is formed in the base 21. In the present embodiment, the main body fixing claw portion 24 is provided at one place on the substantially cylindrical base portion 21. The main body fixing claw portion 24 is provided at a position shifted by approximately 90 ° in the circumferential direction of the base portion 21 with respect to the two spout fixing claw portions 23 arranged to face each other. The main body fixing claw 24 is formed as a piece that is cut out into a substantially rectangular shape with the upper side connected to the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall constituting the base 21. In other words, the main body fixing claw portion 24 is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion that forms a part of the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall constituting the base portion 21 and protrudes downward. In the substantially rectangular main body fixing claw 24, a latching claw 24 a is formed along the lower side (the side opposite to the side connected to the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall).

  The latching claw 24a has a substantially isosceles triangular shape whose inside is a hypotenuse in a sectional view (see FIG. 9) passing through the position of the substantially central axis of the substantially cylindrical base 21, and is fixed to the main body by the inclination of the inner surface. The dimension of the claw portion 24 in the thickness direction (the radial direction of the base portion 21) is gradually reduced toward the lower side, and is formed as a stepped portion having the upper side as the stepped side. Therefore, the latching claw 24a forms a step on the inner side surface portion of the main body fixing claw portion 24 and has a step surface 24b facing upward, and an inclined surface 24c inclined to the outside of the base portion 21 from the step surface 24b to the lower side. Have

  The main body fixing claw portion 24 is externally fitted to the main body side insertion portion 5a by engaging the latching claw 24a with an outer peripheral groove 5d as an outer peripheral concave portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body side insertion portion 5a. The connecting member 20 is fixed to the faucet body 5. The outer circumferential groove 5d is formed over substantially the entire circumference on the outer circumferential surface of the main body side insertion portion 5a, and has at least the same width dimension as the vertical dimension of the latching claw 24a so that the latching claw 24a fits. However, the outer peripheral groove 5d may be formed in a part in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the main body side insertion portion 5a.

  In this way, the connecting member 20 having the main body fixing claw portion 24 forming the hooking claw 24a is fitted into the main body side insertion portion 5a with the hooking claw 24a side of the main body fixing claw portion 24 as the front side. Thus, the latching claw 24 a engages with the outer peripheral groove 5 d of the faucet body 5. Specifically, when the connecting member 20 is fitted into the main body side insertion portion 5a, the latching claw 24a contacts the outer peripheral surface of the main body side insertion portion 5a by the inclined surface 24c, and the main body fixing claw portion 24 is It will be in the state elastically deformed outside from the part connected to the base 21. From this state, the connecting member 20 further moves to the back side of the main body side insertion portion 5a, and the stepped surface 24b forming the latching claw 24a reaches the outer peripheral groove 5d, so that the outer side of the main body fixing claw portion 24 is moved. The latching claw 24a is fitted into the outer peripheral groove 5d by the return action to the inside of the elastic deformation.

  The connecting claw 20 is fixed to the faucet body 5 by engaging the latching claw 24a of the body fixing claw 24 with the outer peripheral groove 5d. That is, in a state where the latching claw 24a is engaged with the outer circumferential groove 5d, the stepped surface 24b of the latching claw 24a becomes a latching surface with respect to the outer circumferential groove 5d, and the connection member 20 is moved upward from the main body side insertion portion 5a. Omission is regulated. Moreover, in the state where the latching claw 24a is engaged with the outer peripheral groove 5d, the connecting member 20 is brought into a state where the bottom surface 21a of the base portion 21 is brought into contact with the upper side surface portion 5c of the faucet main body portion 5, thereby The downward movement of the water faucet body 5 is restricted.

  Thus, the connecting member 20 is fixed to the faucet main body 5 in a state of being externally fitted to the main body side insertion portion 5a by one main body fixing claw portion 24. That is, in the connection member 20 according to the present embodiment, the main body fixing claw portion 24 formed on the base portion 21 is fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the main body side insertion portion 5a by fitting the base portion 21 into the main body side insertion portion 5a. It functions as a second claw portion that engages with the outer peripheral groove 5d that is formed so as to restrict the removal of the base portion 21 from the main body side insertion portion 5a.

  Further, the connecting member 20 has an extension piece 25. The extension piece 25 is provided at one (upper side in the present embodiment) opening end (hereinafter referred to as “upper opening end”) 21b in the substantially cylindrical outer shape of the base 21, and the upper opening end 21b. A part in the circumferential direction is extended to the upper opening end 21 b side (upper side) of the base 21.

  The extension piece portion 25 is a strip-like plate-like portion whose longitudinal direction is the extending direction from the upper opening end portion 21b. The extension piece portion 25 has a length of about 1 to 2 times the vertical dimension of the base portion 21, and has substantially the same plate thickness as the portion of the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall constituting the base portion 21. The extension piece 25 has a shape such that the outer plate surface is along the spout main body inner peripheral surface 8b in a state where the connecting member 20 is fitted into the spout side opening 8a and fixed to the spout main body 8.

  Therefore, in the faucet device 1 of the present embodiment, the extension piece 25 is curved in the extending direction from the upper opening end 21b in correspondence with the shape of the spout body 8 being curved. Moreover, in this embodiment, the extension piece part 25 is formed in the spout main-body part inner peripheral surface 8b so that the part of the inner peripheral side (left side in FIG. 9) in the direction where the spout main-body part 8 curves may be followed.

  The extension piece 25 is integrally formed with the base 21 by integral molding of resin or the like. The extension piece 25 presses the spout main body inner peripheral surface 8b in a state of being in partial or total contact with the spout main body inner peripheral surface 8b by elastic deformation starting from a portion connected to the base 21. To be formed. For this reason, the connecting member 20 is fitted into the spout-side opening 8a, so that an urging force that presses the spout body inner peripheral surface 8b by elastic deformation of the extension piece 25 is obtained in a natural state ( The shape of the extension piece 25 is set, including the degree of inclination and the degree of bending of the extension piece 25 in the connecting member 20 in the vertical direction with respect to the vertical direction in a state where the connection member 20 is not fitted in the spout side opening 8a. For example, the extension piece portion 25 is formed such that the inclination angle toward the outside with respect to the vertical direction is larger than the inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction of the inner peripheral surface 8b of the spout body portion.

  As described above, the extension piece 25 is integrated with the base 21 so as to press the spout body inner peripheral surface 8b by elastic force in a state where the connecting member 20 is fitted in the spout side opening 8a. Formed. When the connecting member 20 having the extension piece 25 is fitted in the spout-side opening 8a in this way, the spout main body is energized by the spout fixing claw portion 23 and the extension piece portion 25 urged outward by elastic deformation. The movement of the connecting member 20 in the circumferential direction with respect to the spout body 8 is regulated by pressing the inner peripheral surface 8b.

  Further, the extension piece portion 25 is formed as follows in relation to the main body fixing claw portion 24. The main body fixing claw portion 24 is formed as a piece portion of the base portion 21 that is cut out in a state in which the side (upper side) from which the extension piece portion 25 extends is connected to the substantially cylindrical peripheral wall constituting the base portion 21. The extension piece 25 is formed such that one end side of the extension piece 25 is connected to the upper opening end 21 b with respect to the base 21.

  And the extension piece part 25 is provided so that the position of the circumferential direction in the base part 21 may correspond substantially with respect to the nail | claw part 24 for main body fixing. In other words, the main body fixing claw portion 24 and the extension piece portion 25 are formed so as to be connected from above and below to a common portion in the upper end portion of the base portion 21. Further, the main body fixing claw portion 24 and the extension piece portion 25 are formed so that the dimensions in the width direction (the circumferential direction of the base portion 21) are substantially the same.

  According to such an arrangement relationship and relative size between the main body fixing claw portion 24 and the extension piece portion 25, the main body fixing claw portion 24 and the extension piece portion 25 are arranged at the base portion 21 at the upper end portion of the base portion 21. It becomes an aspect formed by the integral plate-shaped part which makes the part of the both sides along the circumferential direction of this to the connection part 21c with respect to the substantially cylindrical surrounding wall which comprises the base part 21. As shown in FIG.

  Accordingly, the main body fixing claw portion 24 is tilted inward and outward of the base portion 21 with a portion where the extension piece portion 25 is connected to the base portion 21 as a base point, so that the extension piece portion 25 including the connection portion 21c is elastically deformed. The portion connected to the base portion 21 operates integrally with the extension piece 25 like a seesaw with the fulcrum portion as a fulcrum portion. That is, the extension piece 25 is tilted inward with respect to the base 21, whereby the main body fixing claw 24 is tilted outward with respect to the peripheral wall constituting the base 21, and conversely, the extension piece 25 is By tilting outward with respect to 21, the main body fixing claw 24 tilts inward with respect to the peripheral wall constituting the base 21.

  The integral operation of the main body fixing claw portion 24 and the extension piece portion 25 is a state in which the connecting member 20 is fitted in the spout side opening 8a and is fitted in the main body side insertion portion 5a. Thus, when the extension piece 25 is moved inward in the radial direction of the base 21 with the portion connected to the base 21 as a base point, the base 21 is within a range in which the main body fixing claw 24 is disengaged from at least the outer peripheral groove 5d. It is done to move outward in the radial direction. That is, in the connecting member 20 in a state where the faucet main body 5 and the spout main body 8 are connected, the extension piece 25 is moved away from the inner peripheral surface 8b of the spout main body 8b. 24 moves away from the outer peripheral surface of the main body side insertion portion 5a so that the latching claw 24a is detached from the outer peripheral groove 5d.

  Thus, in the structure formed so as to operate integrally with the main body fixing claw 24 using the portion where the extension piece 25 is connected to the base 21 as a fulcrum, work from the upper opening of the spout main body 8 The extension piece 25 is moved away from the inner surface 8b of the spout main body by, for example, a finger or a tool, so that the engagement of the main body fixing claw 24 with the main body side insertion portion 5a is released. (See arrow B in FIG. 9). Accordingly, the engagement of the main body fixing claw portion 24 with the main body side insertion portion 5a is released by the operation of the extension piece portion 25 from the upper opening portion of the spout main body portion 8, so that the spout fixing claw portion 23 The spout main body portion 8 with the connecting member 20 fixed can be pulled out from the main body side insertion portion 5a.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, a hook portion 25 a for hooking a finger, a tool, or the like is formed at the distal end portion of the extension piece portion 25. The hanging portion 25a is a portion that reduces the thickness of the distal end portion of the extension piece portion 25 from the side (outside) that contacts the spout body portion inner peripheral surface 8b, and is an extended piece portion that is in contact with the spout body portion inner peripheral surface 8b. A gap is formed between 25 and the spout body inner peripheral surface 8b. That is, by inserting a finger, a tool, or the like into the gap formed between the extension piece 25 and the spout main body inner peripheral surface 8b by the hook 25a, the main body side insertion portion 5a of the main body fixing claw 24 is provided. The extension piece 25 is operated to release the engagement.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 9, the distal end portion of the extension piece 25 is pressed by the hose guide 11 attached to the upper opening of the spout body 8 as described above. Specifically, the outer peripheral surface portion 11b of the end portion (lower end portion) in the insertion direction of the hose guide 11 which is a substantially cylindrical member with respect to the spout body portion 8 is the inner side (hanging) of the extension piece portion 25. The tip of the extension piece 25 is pressed by the hose guide 11 while in contact with the opposite side of the portion 25a.

  As described above, the distal end portion of the extension piece portion 25 is pressed by the hose guide 11 to prevent the main body fixing claw portion 24 interlocking with the extension piece portion 25 from being disengaged from the main body side insertion portion 5a. The That is, the outer peripheral surface portion 11b of the hose guide 11 moves the extension piece portion 25 away from the spout main body inner peripheral surface 8b, that is, in the direction in which the main body fixing claw portion 24 is disengaged from the main body side insertion portion 5a. Since the operation of the extension piece portion 25 is restricted, the unexpected engagement release of the main body fixing claw portion 24 due to the impact of the faucet device 1 or the like does not occur.

  Further, in the structure in which the faucet main body 5 and the spout main body 8 are connected by the connecting member 20, the outer peripheral groove 5d with which the latching claw 24a of the main body fixing claw 24 is engaged is as in this embodiment. It is preferable that the groove portion is continuous in the circumferential direction of the main body side insertion portion 5a. In other words, the outer peripheral concave portion with which the main body fixing claw portion 24 is engaged is a groove portion that is sufficiently long with respect to the dimension in the width direction (the circumferential direction of the base portion 21) of the latching claw 24a of the main body fixing claw portion 24. preferable. In the present embodiment, the outer peripheral groove 5d is formed over the entire circumference of the main body side insertion portion 5a.

  In the present embodiment, the latching claw 24a of the main body fixing claw portion 24 is slidable in the circumferential direction of the main body side insertion portion 5a along the outer peripheral groove 5d while being fitted in the outer peripheral groove 5d. For this reason, the spout main body portion 8 connected to the faucet main body portion 5 by the main body fixing claw portion 24 in a state where the connecting member 20 is fixed can be rotated with respect to the faucet main body portion 5.

  As described above, the outer peripheral groove 5d with which the latching claw 24a of the main body fixing claw 24 is engaged is a groove continuous in the circumferential direction of the main body side insertion portion 5a. It can be connected to the part 5 in a rotatable manner. Thereby, the user of the faucet device 1 can adjust the positions of the spout 6 and the spout head 7 in accordance with the usage status of the faucet device 1.

  Moreover, rotation with respect to the faucet main-body part 5 of the spout main-body part 8 is controlled in a predetermined range. As shown in FIG. 5, the faucet device 1 includes a guide piece 31 provided in the spout body 8 and a receiving groove 32 provided in the faucet body 5 in order to regulate the rotation range of the spout body 8. Have.

  The guide piece 31 is a substantially rectangular plate-like protruding portion formed so as to protrude downward on the lower end surface 8c which is the opening end surface of the spout side opening 8a. The guide piece 31 is formed integrally with the spout body 8 (see FIG. 9). In the circumferential direction of the spout side opening 8a, the guide piece 31 is located substantially opposite to the main body fixing claw 24 in a state where the connecting member 20 is fitted in the spout side opening 8a (from the spout fixing claw 23). (Position shifted 90 °).

  The receiving groove 32 opens to the upper side in the upper side surface portion 5c that is a surface portion from which the main body side insertion portion 5a protrudes, and receives the guide piece 31 of the spout main body portion 8 connected to the faucet main body portion 5. For this reason, the receiving groove 32 can insert the guide piece 31 in a state where the spout body 8 is connected to the faucet body 5 in the radial direction of the faucet body 5 corresponding to the guide piece 31. Formed at various positions. The receiving groove 32 is formed in an arc shape along the outer edge of the upper side surface portion 5 c so as to allow the guide piece 31 to move with the rotation of the spout body portion 8 with respect to the faucet body portion 5.

  Thus, the spout body 8 having the guide piece 31 is connected to the faucet body 5 in a state where the guide piece 31 is inserted into the receiving groove 32. On the other hand, the lower end surface 8 c from which the guide piece 31 protrudes sandwiches the flange portion 22 of the connecting member 20 together with the peripheral edge portion of the upper side surface portion 5 c of the faucet main body portion 5. For this reason, in the connecting member 20, an allowable hole 22a penetrating the flange portion 22 in the vertical direction is formed. The allowable hole 22a allows the guide piece 31 to protrude from the lower end surface 8c with which the flange portion 22 substantially contacts in a state where the connecting member 20 is fixed to the spout body portion 8. That is, the guide piece 31 is inserted into the receiving groove 32 through the allowable hole 22a. Therefore, the permissible hole 22a is formed in a position and shape that allows the guide piece 31 to pass through in the state where the connecting member 20 is fixed to the spout body portion 8 in the collar portion 22.

  Thus, in the configuration in which the spout body 8 is connected to the faucet body 5 with the guide piece 31 inserted into the receiving groove 32, the rotation range of the spout body 8 relative to the faucet body 5 is predetermined.
