Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to an improvement of a hair-washing vanity having a shower head and a mixing faucet.

(Prior art) Conventionally, this type of bathroom vanity was developed in 1983.
There is one shown in Fig. 2 of Publication No. 41672 (Fig. 5 of the drawings of the present application). Briefly explaining FIG. 5 above, the sheath pipe 31 has a hose 34 that connects the shower head 32 and the water faucet 33 inserted through its entire length, and
The upper end of the sheath pipe 31 is attached to the lower part of a metal fitting 36 attached to the top plate 35 of the sink, and the hose 3 is connected to the hose 3 through a fitting 38 having a drain valve 37 at the lower end.
It is fixed to 4.

In the case of the above, a long hose is connected to the shower head through a fitting with a water drain valve, so when pulling out the shower head, in addition to the weight of the fitting, the sheath pipe has to be stretched to its full length. The shower head has to be compressed across the air, and the resistance to the pulling force is extremely large, and the shower head has to be used while resisting the resistance, making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, it was extremely inappropriate for use by young children or persons with hand disabilities.

(Problem to be solved by this invention) The problem to be solved by this invention is to make it possible to automatically remove water droplets adhering to the hose connecting the mixer faucet and shower head into the drain pipe for the wash basin. Moreover, the shower head should be able to be easily pulled out from the hanger.

(Technical means for solving the problems) The technical means taken by the present invention to solve the above problems are: a shower head for hair washing that is supported on a top plate via a hanger so as to be freely retractable; In a bathroom vanity equipped with a mixer faucet that supplies hot water and water or mixed water to the shower head via a hose, the cabinet of the bathroom vanity is provided with a stretchable material made of synthetic resin at the top and bottom of the ring. and a drain pipe connecting the upper tube and the lower tube with high flexibility is installed, the upper end of the upper tube and the male threaded part of the lower end of the hanger are connected via a nut, and the lower end of the lower tube and the drain pipe of the washing bowl are installed. communicate with each other through a pipe joint, and insert the hose into an opening formed in the ring and into the upper tube,
The hose has a collar attached to a part of the ring for pulling up the upper tube in the compression direction through the ring.

(Function) When the shower head is pulled out from the hanger, the upper tube is compressed while pulling up the ring together with the hose via the collar fixed to the hose within the ring of the drain tube, and hair is washed above the washbasin bowl. At this time, part of the washing water scattered during hair washing adheres to the circumferential surface of the hose, and these water droplets flow down the circumferential surface of the hose into the drain tube. During this time, when you finish washing your hair and put the shower head in the hanger and the hose in the hanger and drain tube, the water droplets flowing down along the circumferential surface of the hose and the water droplets on the circumferential surface of the hose will be transferred to the pipe joint at the bottom end of the drain tube. After that, it is sequentially removed without any stagnation into the drain pipe of the washbasin bowl.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In the embodiment of this invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8A, a drain pipe 1 has an upper tube 2 and a lower tube 3, which are made of synthetic resin and have great elasticity and flexibility, connected vertically around a ring 4. At the same time, the ring 4 is provided with openings 6, 6a through which a hose 5 (described later) is inserted, and the hose 5 passed through the openings 6, 6a also serves as a packing and has openings 6, 6a.
A collar 7 having a diameter larger than a is fixed, and the collar 7
When the hose 5 is pulled out together with the shower head 8 (to be described later) for hair washing, it is attached from the inside of the mouth 6 to the inside of the same 6a and is displaced. 4 is pulled in the direction in which the hose 5 is pulled, and this action compresses the upper tube 2. The upper end of the upper tube 2 and the hanger 1 described later
A male threaded portion 16a at the lower end of 6 is connected by a nut 18. The pipe joint 9 communicates the lower end of the lower tube 3 with the inside of a drain pipe 10, which will be described later, so as to automatically remove water droplets flowing down inside the drain pipe 1. The toilet vanity A includes a rising part 15 having a cabinet 11, a washing bowl 12, a top plate 13 supporting the washing bowl 12, and a mirror 14 from the bottom. A hanger 16 that retractably supports the shower head 8 and a mixing faucet 17 are respectively disposed along the shower head 8, and the shower head 8 and the mixing faucet 17 are communicated with each other through the hose 5, and the hose 5 is connected to the opening. It is inserted into the ring 4 from the part 6, and passed through the upper tube 2 from the mouth part 6a at the other end, and the tip is connected to the shower head 8.

Now, when washing your hair using the bathroom vanity A shown in FIG. Pull out the shower head 8 from the hanger 16 together with the hose 5. At this time, as the hose 5 moves, the collar 7 fixed to the hose 5 shown in FIG. It is sent. Therefore Tsuba 7
is drawn in the moving direction of the hose 5 surrounding the ring 4 by utilizing its outer diameter larger than the diameter of the mouth portion 6a, and compresses the upper tube 2 by this action. At this time, the upper tube 2 is compressed with slight resistance due to its elasticity and flexibility, and at the same time, the lower tube 3 is also expanded with almost no resistance, so that the shower head 8 can be adjusted to the length required for hair washing. You can freely wash your hair by pulling it out above the washing bowl 12. Following the restoration of the shower head 8 into the hanger 16 after hair washing, the hose 5 is also restored to the position shown in FIG. Thereafter, the water droplets adhering to the surface of the hose 5 gradually descend along the surface of the hose 5 and drip into the lower tube 3 from the bending position of the lowest end in the ring 4 of the hose 5, and continue to be connected to the pipe fitting 9. After that, it flows out into the drain pipe 10 and is removed.

(Effects) Since this invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages.

(1) A drain pipe is provided in which an upper tube and a lower tube, which are made of soft synthetic resin and have great elasticity and flexibility, are connected around a ring, and a hose that connects a shower head and a mixing faucet to the mouth of the ring and the upper tube. At the same time, the upper end of the upper tube and the lower end of the hanger were connected via the male threaded part, and the lower tube and the drain pipe of the washing bowl were communicated through the pipe joint, so that the water that adhered to the circumferential surface of the hose during hair washing was connected. Water droplets flow down into the drain pipe along the circumferential surface of the hose, and are automatically removed into the drain pipe via the pipe joint.

(2) In addition to inserting hoses into the multiple openings provided in the ring of the drain pipe, we also fixed a collar with a larger diameter than both openings to the hose between the two openings, so when the shower head is pulled out, the water can be drained easily. It is sufficient to compress only the upper tube of the cylinder, so no extra force is required to operate the shower head. Therefore, not only can hair be washed freely, but also children and people with hand disabilities can enjoy a satisfying shower bath without any hindrance.

(3) Unlike conventional models that require strong force to pull out the shower head due to compressing the entire length of the long sheath tube, the shower head can be easily pulled out by compressing only the upper tube of the drain tube. This has excellent effects such as significantly improving the operability of the shower head during hair washing.
