Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The water spout position from the spout can be adjusted in the front-back and up-down directions, so that when washing or washing articles, water can be spouted from the optimum position according to the size of large and small items. To [Structure] A water discharge port 22 of a water faucet 10 is rotatable in a vertical plane in a vertical plane at or near a base end thereof.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a water faucet, and more particularly, to a water faucet characterized by a shape of a spout.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 In general, a faucet has a form in which a spout extends horizontally, and the spout is horizontally rotatable around its base end. Although the water faucet of this form has a reasonably secured water discharge range, its water discharge range is limited to the part along the rotation trajectory of the tip water discharge part centering on the base end of the water discharge port, and the water discharge or sprinkling range is limited. It was hard to say that it was enough.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and the gist thereof is that the water discharge port is attached to the base end or in the vicinity thereof so as to be rotatable in the front-back and up-down directions around the same axis. ..

[0004]

[Action and effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention can rotate the portion from the base end of the spouting port or the vicinity thereof to the tip side in the front-back and up-down directions, that is, in the vertical direction generally in the vertical plane including the axis of the spouting port. It was done.

Therefore, the user can change the position of the water discharge part back and forth by rotating the water discharge port.

Therefore, if the spout is rotatable in the horizontal direction about the base end, the position of the spout can be brought to any position in the horizontal direction, and the spouting or sprinkling range can be widened. Can be taken.

The water faucet of the present invention can also change the height of the water discharge position by rotating the water discharge port. Therefore, for example, when washing large items, the spout can be pushed up to eject water from a high position, while when washing small items, the spout can be pushed down to eject water from a low position, facilitating use of the faucet. Remarkably improved.

In one aspect of the present invention, a faucet is formed such that a water outlet directly extends from a water faucet body, and the water outlet is provided at a base end or in a vicinity thereof in a front-rear direction, a vertical direction, or a horizontal direction. Can be made rotatable.

In this case, unlike the case where the spout is directly attached to the mounting hole provided on the mounting surface of the counter or the like, a dedicated hole for mounting the spout is not required and compatibility with an existing faucet is achieved. There are advantages to be obtained.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 10 is a single-lever type mixed faucet for a kitchen, which has a faucet body 12.

The upper portion of the faucet body 12 is an inclined portion 14 that is inclined forward and obliquely upward, and an operation lever 16 is attached to the upper end thereof.

The operation lever 16 is for performing water discharge, water stoppage, water amount adjustment and temperature adjustment. When the operation lever 16 is rotated up and down, the water discharge, water stoppage and water amount adjustment are performed, and the lever is rotated in the left and right directions. The temperature is adjusted by the dynamic operation.

As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the faucet body 12 is provided with a laterally projecting portion 18, and a rotary portion 20 that rotates around a horizontal axis is provided at the tip thereof. The spout 22 is attached to the rotating part 20.

The water discharge port 22 is composed of a main body pipe 24 and a water discharge head 26 at the tip thereof, and the main body pipe 24 is connected to the first part 28 on the base end side and the second part 30 bent into a predetermined shape following the first part 28. And a third portion 32 on the tip side.

The third portion 32 and the water discharge head 26 of the main body pipe 22 are slidable in the axial direction of the second portion 30, and the second portion 30 is moved around the axial center of the first portion 28. It is supposed to be rotatable. That is, the water discharge port 22 is rotatable in the horizontal direction near the base end.

In the water faucet 10 of the present embodiment, the water discharge port 22 is rotatable in the vertical plane about the same axis in the vertical direction and in the vertical direction based on the rotating action of the rotating unit 20.

In the water faucet 10 of this example, the position of the water discharge head 26 can be changed to the front, rear, left and right positions by the horizontal and vertical rotations of the water discharge port 22 and by the expansion and contraction of the water discharge port 22. It can also be brought in, and its height position can be freely adjusted by rotating the spout 22 up and down.

Therefore, according to the water faucet 10, for example, in the case of washing large or small objects or other complicated shapes in a kitchen sink, water can be discharged from an optimum position suitable for them.

That is, the water faucet 10 of this example is significantly more convenient than the conventional water faucet.

Further, in the case of the water faucet 10 of this example, since the water outlet 22 is directly attached to the water faucet body 12, unlike the water faucet in a form in which the water outlet 22 is attached to a mounting hole provided on a mounting surface of a counter or the like, There is an advantage that the existing faucet can be replaced without any special work.

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 the above-mentioned kitchen, and the form of the faucet can be used. Within the scope of the present invention, various forms other than the above examples can be made.
