[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to faucets used in wash basins, sinks, shower rooms, etc. The present invention relates to a support device for a water discharging device, through which a hose is inserted so as to be freely drawn out from a receiver.

[Prior art] Conventionally, this type of water discharging equipment support device was developed by Jikosho.
There is one that can be found in Publication No. 50-34181. To explain this according to Fig. 7, a is a horizontal mounting surface for a washbasin, sink, etc., b is a window hole opened in the mounting surface, and c is a hole fixed on the mounting surface a so as to cover the window hole. The receiving device d is a faucet attached to the tip of the hose e via a drum-shaped connecting device f, and the connecting device f is detachably attached to the inner surface of a receiving hole g formed in the receiving device c. It was designed to be supported. On the other hand, a similar structure in which the water discharging device can be freely pulled out from a receiving part formed in a part of the faucet body was developed by Jikosho.
Also seen in Publication No. 60-20695.

[Problems with the prior art] The conventional water discharging equipment support device illustrated in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the outer circumferential surface of the connector f is supported on the inner circumferential surface of the receiving hole g. For this reason, faucet d
The water droplets adhering to the surface of are transmitted through the fitting f and into the receiving hole g.
The water enters the window hole b and flows down into the catch c.
There was a problem in that it penetrated into the lower part of the mounting surface a and wet the inside of the cabinet and the floor surface, making it necessary to clean up afterwards. Further, the same problem occurred in the faucet disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-20695.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The water discharging device support device of the present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and a through hole is formed in the holder fixed to the mounting surface, and the water discharging device is mounted at the tip. The spliced hose is inserted through the through-hole so that it can be freely pulled out, and a skirt portion is extended from the base end of the water discharging device to detachably fit around the through-hole of the receiving device. It is characterized by:

[Function] Water droplets adhering to the water discharging device drip down the skirt portion, making it difficult for moisture to enter.

[Example] In this example, a water spouting device is installed in a washbasin that also serves as a hair washing device, and the water spouting state can be switched to shower water sprinkling or concentrated water spouting, and this will be explained according to FIGS. 1 to 6. Then, 1 is a washbasin having a drain pipe 2, 3 and 4 are a hot water supply stop valve and a water supply stop valve, and 5 is a single lever operation type installed on the horizontal mounting surface 6 of the washbasin 1. The mixing faucet is equipped with pipes 7, 7 from the stop valves 3, 4. A water discharging device 9 is connected to the tip of a flexible hose 8 whose base end is connected to the mixing faucet. As described above, the water spouting device 9 is configured so that the shower water sprinkling state and the concentrated water sprinkling state can be switched by operating the handle 10.
The water discharging device itself that enables such switching is well known, and its structure will be briefly described below with reference to FIG. 2. That is, a cap 14 having a concentrated water spout 12 at the center and a shower water spout 13 at the periphery is screwed onto the water spouting portion of the device body 11, and a spindle 16 is attached to a cylindrical portion 15 integrally formed within the device body 11. The handle 10 is fixed to the outwardly projecting end of the spindle 16, and the valve bodies 18, 1 are fixed to the inner end by screws 17.
9 is fixed, and a valve seat portion 20 facing the valve bodies 18 and 19 is integrally formed with the cap 14. The spindle 16 can be opened by operating the handle 10.
By moving the valve body 18 or 19 back and forth to press the valve body 18 or 19 against the valve seat 20, water can be spouted from the central water spout 12 or the shower water spout 13.

The water discharging device 9 is rotatably connected to the tip of the hose 8 via a plug 21. That is, the small diameter portion 2
A U-packet 22 is fitted around the outer periphery of a plug 21 into which the tip of the hose 8 is press-fitted into 1a, and the plug 21 is installed so as to be rotatable in the base end of the water discharging device 9, and the bushing 23 is placed at its open end. Further, a tightening member 2 is attached to a threaded portion 24 formed on the outer periphery of the end of the water discharging device 9.
5 are screwed together, and an inward flange 26 formed on the inner periphery of the tightening member 25 prevents the bushing 23 from coming off, and a skirt portion 25a is integrally extended to the tightening member 25. Note that a spline groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt portion 25a. On the other hand, insert the proximal end 27a of the holder 27 into the window hole made in the mounting surface 6 of the washbasin 1, insert the rubber packing 28 on the mounting surface 6, the rubber packing 29 on the lower surface, and the washer 30, and attach the nut 31 to the base. It is screwed and fixed to the end portion 27a. The catch 27 has a hollow cylindrical shape inclined to one side, and a small diameter cylindrical part 27b, which is covered by the skirt part 25a, is formed near the distal end of the holder 27 via a step part 27c. Small diameter cylindrical 27b
A spline groove that matches the spline groove on the inner peripheral surface of the skirt portion 25a is formed on the outer periphery of the skirt portion 25a. Further, the tip of the small diameter cylindrical portion 27b is tapered inward, and a through hole 32 having a diameter equal to, slightly larger than, or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the hose 8 is formed therein.
The inner surface of the through hole 32 has an arcuate cross section as shown in an enlarged view in FIG.

In the water discharging equipment support device configured in this way,
As illustrated in FIG.
is supported by the catch 27. For this reason, water discharging equipment 9
Although water droplets flowing down the surface of the receiver 27 may flow down onto the outer surface of the receiver 27, they do not enter the through holes 32. Furthermore, even when the water discharging device 9 is held in hand and the hose 8 is pulled out from the through hole 32, the hose 8 closes the through hole 32 as shown in FIG. does not enter the through hole 32. In this case, the inner surface of the through hole 32 is formed in an arc shape and makes line contact with the circumferential surface of the hose 8, so that the hose 8 can freely bend around the through hole 32, as shown by the broken line in FIG. This makes it easy to remove the hose, prevents poor water flow due to bending of the hose, and reduces frictional resistance when pulling out the hose 8.
In addition, if the through hole 32 is made to have the same diameter as the hose 8 or a little smaller in diameter so that the inner surface of the through hole 32 is pressed against the hose 8, even water droplets attached to the hose 8 when stored will be absorbed by the through hole 32. It can be made to be wiped off. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of this through-hole configuration, and the inner surface shape of the through-hole does not have to be arcuate as shown above. Further, in FIG. 6, a packing 34 integrally formed with a synthetic resin material with a low coefficient of friction such as rubber or nylon and having an elastic lip 33 on the inner circumference is fixed to the opening edge of the small diameter cylindrical portion 27b. An example is shown in which the water droplet wiping action is made more effective. In this embodiment, spline grooves are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 27b and the inner circumferential surface of the skirt portion 25a, and these grooves are engaged with each other to prevent the water discharging device 9 from rotating freely due to water pressure or the like. However, regarding the structure in this point, the small diameter cylindrical part 27
Of course, the outer periphery of b may be a polygonal surface such as a hexagonal column, and the inner surface of the skirt portion 25b may be a polygonal surface that meshes with the polygonal surface. Further, although this embodiment has been shown in which the hot water/cold water mixing faucet 5 and the catch 27 are constructed separately, the catch 27 may be constructed integrally.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the water discharging device support device of the present invention has a skirt extending from the base end of the water discharging device, and the skirt portion is removably fitted onto the receiving device.
When the water discharging device is supported by the receiver, water droplets can be prevented from entering along the surface of the water discharging device. Therefore, it is advantageous to be able to provide a hose pull-out type faucet that is easy to use, as it does not wet the inside of the cabinet or the floor and eliminates the trouble of cleaning up afterwards.
