Description

The present invention relates to a tube connecting device and a seat member.

Conventionally, when connecting the water supply / hot water supply pipes that have been set up indoors from under the floor to various devices such as dishwashers and toilet bowls, a configuration has been adopted in which a water stopcock is provided between the pipes and various devices. .. For example, in Patent Document 1, a water stop valve and a joint member are connected, a pipe raised indoors from under the floor is connected to the joint member, and the joint member is fixed on the floor by a penetrating metal fitting (seat member). The configuration is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which a pipe raised from under the floor to a room is connected to a water stop cock having a joint portion, and the water stop valve is fixed on the floor by a pedestal member (seat member) and a fixing sleeve.

However, in the configurations of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the number of parts for fixing the water stopcock on the floor is large, and the construction on site becomes complicated. In addition, even though it is installed in a conspicuous place, the number of parts for fixing the water stopcock on the floor is large, so the number of uneven parts increases as a whole, which causes deterioration of the design and makes it aesthetically pleasing. It becomes a factor to damage. As a countermeasure, in the configuration of Patent Document 2, a cover member for accommodating the pedestal member is provided inside, but this further increases the number of parts and makes the construction at the site more complicated.

The outer cylinder portion 32 is provided with two insertion confirmation windows (insertion confirmation portions) 322 formed so as to penetrate in the radial direction. The two insertion confirmation windows 322 are arranged at positions facing each other in the radial direction. The insertion confirmation window 322 is provided on the base end side of the tubular portion 3 with respect to the outward protruding portion 321 (the position where the seat member 5 described later is attached).

A part of the insertion space 14 for inserting the tubular body 81 is formed between the inner tubular portion 31 and the outer tubular portion 32. A transparent or translucent resin cylindrical color member 33 is inserted and arranged in the insertion space 14. The color member 33 is arranged along the inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular portion 32. The collar member 33 prevents dust and the like from entering through the insertion confirmation window 322 of the outer cylinder portion 32. The tube 81 inserted into the insertion space 14 can be confirmed from the outside through the insertion confirmation window 322 of the outer tubular portion 32 via the transparent or translucent color member 33.

Further, an inner peripheral portion 501 (inwardly protruding portion 52) of the seat member 5 is interposed between the facing surface 320 of the tubular portion 3 and the mounting member 6, so that the seat member 5 can be easily held.

Further, the tubular portion 3 is provided with an insertion confirmation window (insertion confirmation portion) 322 for confirming the insertion state of the tubular body 81, and the insertion confirmation window 322 is a tube in the tubular portion 3 rather than the seat member 5. It is arranged on the side opposite to the insertion side of the body 81. Therefore, the insertion confirmation window for the insertion state of the tube 81 is on the side opposite to the insertion side of the tube 81 in the tubular portion 3 of the apparatus main body 2 than the seat member 5 fixed to the floor (structure) 80. It can be easily confirmed at 322. For example, as in the present embodiment, the insertion state of the pipe body 81 can be easily confirmed by the insertion confirmation window 322 on the upper side (on the floor) of the floor body 80. As a result, even a person other than the installer can easily confirm the insertion state of the pipe body 81 through the insertion confirmation window 322 after the construction.
