Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application and Summary of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shower head, in which the shape of the shower head body can be arbitrarily bent to match the shape of the engaged part, and By being able to maintain that flexed state,
This makes it possible to easily hook onto something other than a locking tool exclusively for the shower head.

[Prior art and its problems] A conventional shower head is, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, and as shown in FIG. A hose connection portion 31 is formed on the upstream side of the hole. When using this shower head, it is sufficient to open the faucet with the hose connection part 31 connected to the hot water faucet by a hose, and when not in use, it is usually necessary to open the faucet as shown in Fig. 8. The hose is hung in an upright state by engaging the vicinity of the hose connection part 31 with a front-opening locking tool 9 disposed on the side wall of the bathroom.

However, with this shower head, even when temporarily discontinuing its use, the shower head can be attached to the locking tool 9.
There is a problem that it is difficult to use because it has to be locked in place.

This is because this conventional shower head cannot be locked to any part other than the locking tool 9.

[Technical Problem] The present invention aims to provide a shower head with a plurality of tap holes in the hollow body 1 and a hose connection portion 31 at the upstream end of the shower head. In order to be able to easily hook onto objects other than 9, the shape of the shower head main body can be arbitrarily bent to match the shape of the object to be engaged, and the shape can be maintained in the bent state. The technical challenge is to do so.

[Technical Means] The technical means of the present invention taken to solve the above-mentioned technical problems are as follows: ``The main body 1 is composed of a flexible tube having resistance to returning from bending, and the downstream end of the flexible tube is closed. At the same time, a hot water tap hole was drilled in the side wall.

[Effect] The above technical means works as follows.

When using this shower head, first, the hose connection portion 31 of this shower head and a hot water faucet are connected with a hose. Next, when the flexible tube constituting the shower head is bent so that the hot water that flows out collects, the flexible tube has a certain resistance force when returning from the bent state to the straight state. It remains bent and can be used like a conventional shower head. In particular, if the flexible pipe is bent in a spiral shape with the hot water tap hole facing one side, the hot water tap hole will be in a grouped state, and the hot water that comes out from the shower head will also be gathered together, so the same shower effect as the conventional one can be achieved. is obtained.

In addition, since this shower head is constructed of a flexible tube that has a resistance to returning from bending, the shape of the shower head body can be bent to match the shape of the engaged part such as the apron of the bathtub. , can maintain its bent state.

[Effects] Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following unique effects.The shape of the shower head main body can be arbitrarily bent to match the shape of the engaged part, and
Since the bent state can be maintained, it can be easily hooked onto objects other than the locking tool 9 in the bathroom.

[Embodiment] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the flexible tube is constituted by a large number of cylindrical bodies 2, 2 with both ends open and made of elastic synthetic resin, and the cylindrical body 2 and 2 are connected in a spherical pair in an airtight manner on the outer periphery.

According to this embodiment, since the main body 1 is bent at the spherical joints of the cylindrical bodies 2, 2,
Each cylindrical body constituting the main body 1 is not subjected to strain that would cause plastic deformation. Therefore, this one is
Excellent durability.

A second embodiment of the present invention is that in the shower head of the first embodiment, slits or grooves are cut in the axial direction in the wall forming the spherical shell, which forms the spherical pair of the cylindrical bodies 2, 2. , forming a protrusion on the spherical part that fits into the slit or groove;
The tapping holes in these cylindrical bodies 2, 2 are arranged at positions shifted by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction with respect to the slits or grooves.

According to this embodiment, since rotation of the cylindrical bodies 2 and 2 can be prevented, the tapping holes will not deviate from the same circumferential direction, and furthermore, the cylindrical bodies 2 and 2 can be prevented from rotating.
2 can only be bent in a direction deviated by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction with respect to the tap hole, so when the shape of this shower head is changed into a spiral shape, the tap hole will always be concentrated on one side.

That is, without worrying about the direction of the tapping holes and bending them, simply by bending the free end in a bendable direction, the tapping holes are always gathered in one direction.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 7.

A first embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

This shower head, as shown in Figure 1,
A bellows 1 having a certain bending return resistance for the main body 1
0, 10 and short pipes 11, 11 are alternately connected, the downstream end of which is closed, and a threaded portion 15 is formed at the upstream end, and this threaded portion 15 is provided with a hose connection portion 31. In addition, a grip 12 having a side wall surface corresponding to the locking tool 9 is screwed onto the grip 12.
Further, in this case, the short pipes 11, 11 are provided with tap holes 5, 5 in the same circumferential direction.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, this shower head can be used in the same way as a conventional shower head by bending the main body 1 at the bellows to collect the hot water that flows out. By bending the shape to match the shape of the engaged part, such as the apron part of a bathtub, this object can be easily hooked onto the engaged part.

In addition, in this shower head, when the bellows 10 is in a retracted state, the tap holes are in a grouped state, so it may be used in this state.

Furthermore, when this product is not in use, the grip 12 can be locked to the locking tool 9 with the bellows in a contracted state for a good appearance.

Next, a second embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 5.

As shown in FIG. 5, this device has a main body 1,
It is composed of a large number of cylindrical bodies 2, 2 made of elastic synthetic resin, and the cylindrical bodies 2, 2 are connected in a spherical pair in an airtight state on the outer periphery, and the sliding resistance of this joint part allows the cylinders to be bent from the bent state. It is designed to provide resistance when returning, and its downstream end is closed, and a grip 12 is screwed to the upstream end.

Each cylindrical body 2 other than the cylindrical bodies 2 and 2 located at both ends
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is a hollow cylindrical body with both ends open, and a spherical head 21 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of one end, and the spherical head 21 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the other end. 21, and a spherical recess 22 which is closely spherically opposed is formed. A slit 24 cut in the axial direction is formed in the wall constituting the spherical recess 22, and a protrusion 23 that fits into the slit 24 is formed in the spherical head 21. Furthermore, this cylindrical body 2 is provided with one tapping hole 5 at a position offset by 90 degrees from the slit 24 in the circumferential direction.

The cylindrical body 2 located on the upstream side, as shown in FIG. A portion 15 is formed into which the grip 12 can be screwed. Further, the cylindrical body 2 located on the downstream side has the same structure as the above-described cylindrical body 2 except that the downstream end is closed.

Therefore, even if the direction of the tap hole 5 is not bent, if the free end is bent in a bendable direction, the tap hole 5 will always be located in the same circumferential direction.

Next, a third embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 6 and 7.

The cylindrical body 2 of this embodiment is as shown in FIG.
A pair of protruding shafts 26, 26 corresponding to the protrusions are provided on the spherical head 21 in a radial direction of the spherical head 21 and at positions orthogonal to the axial direction of the cylindrical body 2,
A tap hole 7 is bored at a position shifted by 90 degrees from this in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, slits 24, 24 corresponding to the protruding shafts 26, 26 are cut in the same circumferential direction in the constituent wall of the spherical recess 22, which is tightly fitted into the spherical head 21 in a spherical mating state. 2

When the two cylindrical bodies are linearly connected, a tap hole 8 is formed which coincides with the tap hole 7 of the spherical head 21.

In this shower head, when the shower head is linearly connected and assembled, when the shower head is bent around the protruding shafts 26, 26, the tap holes 7 and 8 become blind, and the protruding shafts 26, 26 When bent along the slits 24, 24, they coincide as shown in FIG.

That is, in this shower head, when the faucet is opened and bent around the protruding shafts 26, 26, hot water does not spew out, and the protruding shafts 2
When the slits 6 and 26 are bent to fit along the slits 24 and 24, hot water is ejected from the tap hole.

Therefore, with this shower head, hot water can be spouted by bending the shower head without having to open or close the faucet.

In this embodiment, the mutual rotation of the cylindrical bodies 2, 2 was prevented by engaging the engaging portions 23, 23 with the slits 24, 24, but the slits 24, 24 were formed into spherical shapes. On the inner peripheral surface of the constituting wall of the recess 22,
Grooves corresponding to the locking portions 23, 23 may be formed for engagement.
