Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To improve the usability of the faucet for the washbasin, and to eliminate the restrictions due to the size of the washbasin so that the same faucet can be used for washbasins of different sizes. To [Structure] The water outlet 16 of the washbasin faucet 10 is formed so as to extend obliquely upward and is expandable and contractable in an oblique direction.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a faucet suitable for use in a washbasin or the like.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 In general, the faucet installed in the washbasin is selected according to the size of the washbasin: a large washbasin has a long spout, and a small washbasin has a short spout. Things are used.

However, if the faucet is selected differently for each size of the washbasin, it is necessary to prepare many types of faucets of different sizes, which is troublesome for inventory management. When installing the faucet, there was a problem that the combination with the washbasin had to be selected considering each washbasin.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The faucet of the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and its gist is to have a spout that extends obliquely upward and the spout can extend and contract in the diagonal direction. Is done.

[0005]

[Action and effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention is configured such that the water discharge port of the faucet extends obliquely upward and is expandable.

In the faucet of the present invention, it is possible to freely adjust the protruding length by expanding and contracting the spout. Therefore, the same faucet can be used for washbasins of different sizes, and when the faucet is installed in the washbasin, it can be prevented from being restricted by the washbasin.

Further, since the water discharge port expands and contracts, there is an advantage that the degree of freedom in selecting the mounting position of the faucet is increased when the faucet is mounted on the washbasin.

[0008] For example, a faucet can be installed at a site relatively distant from the inner surface of the pot. This is because the spout can be extended for a long time.

On the contrary, it can also be installed in a portion where the distance to the inner surface of the pot is short. The water spout can be shortened by contracting it.

The water faucet of the present invention is characterized in that the spout can be expanded and contracted in an oblique direction. Therefore, by expanding and contracting the spout, not only the horizontal length but also the height can be adjusted, and the faucet is easy to use.

For example, when washing a tall object such as a washbasin, the water discharge position can be increased by extending the water discharge port, and conversely, when washing a short object, the water discharge position can be increased. Can be lowered.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3, reference numeral 10 denotes a mixing faucet for a washbasin, and a main body 12 is fixed to an upper surface 13 of the outer peripheral portion of the bowl.

The mixed tap 10 is of a single lever type, and is adapted to perform water discharge, water stoppage and temperature control by operating a lever 14.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, when the lever 14 is rotated up and down, water discharge, water stop, and water amount adjustment are performed, and when the lever 14 is rotated horizontally (horizontal), temperature adjustment is performed. Is supposed to do.

From the lower end of the main body 12, a water discharge port 16 extends obliquely upward and straight. The spout 16 is composed of a fixed part 18 on the base side and a movable part 20 on the tip side, and a tubular part of the movable part 20 is slidably fitted to the outside of the fixed part 18 to form a movable part. 20 can be slid along the fixed portion 18.

An operating portion 22 for operating a pop-up type drain plug at the bottom of the washbasin is provided at the rear side portion of the main body 12 opposite to the water discharge port 16.

In the water faucet 10 of this example, the water discharge port 16 is expandable as shown in each figure, and by extending this, the horizontal protruding length of the water discharge port 16 is increased, Further, the tip water discharge position can be raised.

Therefore, for example, when washing a tall object in a washbasin, water can be discharged from a high position by extending the water discharge port 16.

Similarly, when washing a long product, the same work can be performed easily by lengthening the water discharge port 16. That is, the convenience of the washbasin or faucet is improved.

Since the faucet 10 of this embodiment has a variable length of the spout 16, the faucet of the same size can be applied to washbasins of various sizes.

That is, the faucet 10 of the same size can be installed in both a large washbasin and a small washbasin. In the case of a large washbasin, the spout 16 can be lengthened by extending the spout 16, and in the case of a small washbasin, the spout 16 can be contracted to shorten the spout.

In addition, since the water spout 10 of the water faucet 10 of the present example can be expanded and contracted, the mounting position when mounting the water faucet on the washbasin can be freely selected.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but this is merely an example, and the present invention can be applied to a faucet for a purpose other than a washbasin, etc. within a range not departing from the gist thereof. It can be configured with various modifications based on the knowledge of the trader.
