Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize the space economization by installing a water supply cock body and a body shower cock in embedded state on a wall surface and installing a communication part in vertically turnable manner and a drainage cylinder part in turnable manner at the secondary side position of the opening/closing cock for the communication with the body. CONSTITUTION:A body shower device is constituted of a water supply cock body 1 and a body shower cock 2, and the body shower cock 2 is installed at a recessed place (b) on the wall surface (a) of a bathroom. A communication arm 4 is installed in vertically turnable manner at one side edge of an opening/ closing cock 3 to which a communication pipe 7 communicating from the body 1 is connected, and a drainage cylinder part 5 is installed in turnable manner in the arm 4. Then, the handle 3a of the cock 3 is opened, and the hot water supplied from the body 1 is introduced into the arm 4, and the water is discharged from a shower hole 6 formed on the cylinder part 5. After the vertical position of the cylinder part 5 is adjusted by turning the arm 4 from the recessed place (b), the drainage position and angle are adjusted by turning the cylinder part 5. Accordingly, the bathroom space can be effectively utilized.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a body shower device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a body shower that focuses not only on body washing but also on the pine surge effect of water pressure is composed of a water tap and a body shower tap that discharges hot water from the water tap. The water faucet is placed at a relatively low position (normal position) on the bathroom wall so that it can be used while sitting.
A water supply connecting pipe is vertically erected from this faucet, and a body shower faucet is installed at a relatively high point of this connecting pipe.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-described body shower is premised on being used in a standing position in order to apply the shower to desired parts of the body. However, there are many users who wish to use the shower while sitting, so a body shower has been considered in which the body shower faucet is installed at a low position and the shower is used while sitting.

However, taking a body shower from the head while in a sitting position poses a problem in that it becomes difficult to apply the shower water to desired parts of the body because the movement of the body is restricted.

In addition, with conventional body showers, it takes a lot of time to install connecting pipes and opening/closing valves that connect the faucet and body shower opening, and the faucet and many metal fittings protrude from the bathroom wall. This resulted in a complicated appearance, and the protruding metal fittings were a nuisance when the shower was not in use.

The present invention provides a body shower that allows the user to apply shower water to any desired part of the body while sitting in a sitting position. The purpose is to organize everything neatly and to make effective use of bathroom space.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the body shower device of the present invention consists of a faucet body and a body shower faucet, each of which is installed with the main body part excluding the handle embedded in a wall surface. The body Java faucet is equipped with an opening/closing faucet that communicates with the main body of the faucet, and a connecting arm is connected to the secondary side of the opening/closing faucet so as to be movable up and down, and a shower head is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rotating tip. A water discharge tube with holes is rotatably mounted and supported.

Further, the water spray tube portion can also be stored in a storage recess formed in a wall surface so as to be freely put in and taken out.

(Function) According to the above means, the faucet main body and the opening/closing faucet of the body shower faucet connected thereto are installed with the main body part excluding the handle embedded in the wall surface, and the water is supplied from the faucet mentioned above. Hot water flows into the body shower faucet side by opening the opening/closing faucet, flows into the water discharge cylinder from the connecting arm, and is discharged from the shower hole on the outer periphery of the cylinder.

In addition, the water discharge cylinder is attached and supported at the rotating tip of the connecting arm that is connected to the above-mentioned opening/closing valve so as to be able to move up and down, and the vertical position and vertical water discharge angle of the water discharge cylinder can be changed by the vertical movement of the connecting arm. In addition, by rotating the water discharging tube section, it becomes possible to adjust the water discharging direction in the circumferential direction of the water discharging tube section at each water discharging position (height) and up and down water discharging angle.

In addition, by storing the water cannon part in a storage recess formed in the wall so that it can be taken in and out, the water cannon protrudes from the wall surface toward the bathroom side and is in a state of discharging water.Also, when the body shower is not used, the water cannon can be stored in the storage recess.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the body shower device of the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects listed below.

■ Since the faucet body and body shower faucet are installed embedded in the wall, the handle is the only part of the faucet body that protrudes from the wall, giving a clean appearance. Since there are no protruding parts such as piping, etc., the space in the bathroom can be used more effectively.

■ By vertically moving the connecting arm and adjusting the rotation of the water spray barrel, the vertical water spray angle can be changed according to the water spray position (height) of the body shower, and furthermore, the vertical water spray angle can be changed at each water spray height and vertical water spray angle. Since the direction of water discharge from the water cannon can be adjusted in the circumferential direction of the water cannon, it is possible to apply shower water to any part of the body while sitting, and it is also different from conventional shower water. Similarly, there is no need for troublesome piping work related to connecting pipes.

■ If the water spout is rotated downward with the connecting arm out of the storage recess, the water spout can be used as a spout, making it possible to design a faucet without the spout.

■ Also, by configuring the water cannon to be able to be taken in and out of the storage recess formed in the wall surface, the water canister can be stored in the storage recess when it is not in use. Since the water canister no longer protrudes, the bathroom space can be used more efficiently.
