Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a faucet handle, and more particularly to a device for attaching a screw cover to a handle having an axially outward protrusion on its outer surface.

Prior art and its problems In the past, faucet handles did not have an outward protrusion, so it was sufficient to provide a screw cover at the axial center of the upper end of the handle. Since a handle with an outward protrusion was invented,
A screw cover with a new structure that conforms to this shape and its mounting device have been desired. However, the reality is that a screw cover and its mounting device that meet these demands have not yet been devised.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a device for attaching a screw cover to a handle having an axially outward protrusion on its outer surface.

Means for Solving Problems As shown in the attached drawings, the screw cover mounting device according to this invention, in a handle in which an outward protrusion 2 is provided in the axial direction on the outer surface of the handle body 1, has a screw cover attached to the upper end surface of the handle body 1. A concave groove 3 is provided from the shaft center toward the outer protrusion 2, and the inner end of the groove 3 communicates with the screw hole 4, and the outer end opens outward, and the outer protrusion is formed from the bottom of the groove. A raised portion 5 is provided over the upper end surface of the portion 2, an engaging portion 6 is provided on the side surface of the raised portion 5, a recess 7 with an outward opening is provided on the side surface of the groove, and a screw cover with a cross-sectional shape is provided. 8 is provided separately from the handle, an engaging portion 10 is provided on the inner surface of the vertical wall 9, a wing portion 11 is provided on the outer surface, and a screw cover is provided in the groove 3 along the raised portion 5. It is inserted from the outside, and the wing part 1
1 is fitted into the recess 7, and the engaging portion 10 of the screw cover 8 is engaged with the engaging portion 6 of the raised portion 5.

Examples This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, an outer protrusion 2 is provided on the outer surface of the handle body 1 in the axial direction. Outer protrusion 2
The upper end surface is lower than the upper end surface of the handle body 1 by the thickness of a screw cover 8, which will be described later.

The upper end surface of the handle body 1 has a screw hole 4 in the shaft center.
A groove 3 is provided from the shaft center toward the outer protrusion 2. The inner end of the groove 3 communicates with the screw hole 4, and the outer end of the groove 3 opens outward.

The groove bottom surface of the concave groove 3 and the upper end surface of the outer protrusion 2 are flush with each other, and from the groove bottom surface to the upper end surface, a raised portion 5 mainly consisting of a pair of rising walls 12 parallel to each other at a required interval is provided. It is being On both sides of the raised portion 5, a pair of rising walls 12 are provided on the outer protrusion 2.
A concave engaging portion 6 is provided by the interruption.

Furthermore, recesses 7 are provided in the lower portions of both sides of the groove 3, respectively. The outer ends of these recesses 7 open outward from the outer surface of the handle body 1.

The screw cover 8 is separate from the handle, has a reverse cross-sectional groove as its main part, has the same height as the groove depth of the groove 3, and extends from the shaft center of the handle to the outer end of the outward protrusion. has a length equal to the distance to. The outer end circumferential surface of the screw cover 8 is curved to conform to the outer circumferential surface of the outer protrusion 2, and inwardly protruding engaging portions 10 are provided at predetermined positions on the inner surfaces of the pair of vertical walls 9, respectively.
are provided, and wing portions 11 are provided at required positions on the outer surface. The screw cover 8 is colored blue when used for a water supply handle, and red when used for a hot water supply handle.

The screw cover 8 is forcibly inserted into the groove 3 from the outside so that the inner surfaces of the pair of vertical walls 9 are along the outer surfaces of the pair of rising walls 12 of the raised portion 5, and the wing portions 11 are inserted into the groove 3 from the outside. The protruding engaging portion 10 of the screw cover 8 is tightly fitted from the outer opening of the screw cover 8 into the protruding portion 5.
It is engaged with the concave engaging portion 10 of. In this way, the screw hole 4 is covered and hidden by the screw cover 8, and the upper surface of the screw cover 8 and the upper end surface of the handle body 1 are flush with each other.

As described above, according to this invention, the screw cover 8 is inserted from the outside into the groove 3 along the raised portion 5, the wing portion 11 is fitted into the recess 7, and the screw cover 8 is engaged. Since the mating portion 10 is engaged with the engaging portion 6 of the raised portion 5, the screw cover 8 is prevented from swinging to the left or right by the raised portion 5, and the screw cover 8 is prevented from swinging to the left or right by the raised portion 5, and the fitting between the wing portion 11 and the recess 7 is prevented. Therefore, it is prevented from coming off upwardly, and furthermore, due to the engagement of the engaging portions 10 and 6, it is prevented from coming off outwardly.

Therefore, according to the screw cover attaching device of this invention, the screw cover 8 can be securely and firmly attached to the handle, and there is no fear that the screw cover 8 will come off from the handle when the handle is operated.
