[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a faucet lever that is attached to a conventional faucet handle to open and close the faucet.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When using water in a conventional kitchen or washroom, if you first turn the faucet handle with your dirty hands to drain the water, the water will be applied to the faucet handle when you stop the water at the end. I used to stop the water after dropping it. However, this is very bad for hygiene, because you have to touch the dirty faucet handle after you have cleaned your hands. On the other hand, it is awkward to thoroughly clean the faucet handle that first adheres. In particular, the extra water is used, which is a great waste of water. Also, when water is repeatedly turned on and off for cooking, etc., the faucet handle is operated with a wet hand, so the area around the faucet handle tends to be submerged, and the sink and wall Water may soak in during the process and cause mold to develop. Again, this is very hygienic and it is very annoying to wipe your hand each time you touch the faucet handle. There was also the drawback that the faucet handle could not be operated while holding objects in both hands. In addition, in order to replace the conventional faucet handle with a lever-type faucet, it is necessary to replace a part of the water supply pipe or the faucet body, so that the cost is high.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a faucet lever that is detachable from a conventional faucet handle in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to prevent wasteful use of water.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In this invention, the following faucet lever is adopted. The feature is that the lever (2) is attached to the outside of the cap (1), and the elastic rubber (3) is attached to the inside of the cap (1) so that it can be attached to and detached from the faucet handle. It is a faucet lever. The lever (2) may have a plate shape as shown in the first embodiment of FIG. 1 or may have any other shape. Further, the elastic rubber (3) may have a cylindrical shape as shown in the first embodiment of FIG. 1, or may have any other shape depending on the shape of the faucet handle.

[0005]

[Action]

 The cap (1) of the faucet lever is attached to the conventional faucet handle so as to cover it. If your hand is dirty or wet, you can operate this lever on the back of your hand or outside your wrist joint. In this case, as shown in Example 2 of FIG. 2, the elastic rubber (3) has a corrugated cylindrical shape in accordance with the shape of the faucet handle. When tapping water with a conventional faucet hand for cooking or washing, the rotation angle of the handle is 90 to 100 degrees under normal usage, and a sufficient amount of water can be obtained. Therefore, when this faucet lever is attached to the conventional faucet handle, it is sufficient to attach it at an optimum angle in consideration of the rotational angle and the positional relationship with the spout.

[0006]

First Embodiment A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. A lever (2) is attached to the outside of the cap (1), and an elastic rubber (3) is attached to the inside of the cap (1) so that it can be attached to and removed from the faucet handle. In this case, the elastic rubber (3) has a cylindrical shape.

[0007]

Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals. In this case, the lever (2) is rod-shaped. Further, the elastic rubber (3) has a corrugated cylindrical shape.

[0008]

[Effect of the device]

 With this faucet lever, you can open and close the faucet in a clean area of your hand, so you don't have to wash the faucet lever when you stop the water, saving water. Also, since the lever (2) is touched for operation, the vicinity of the faucet body is not submerged even if the hand is wet, which is sanitary. In particular, you can easily open and close the faucet while holding both food and dishes such as dishes. This is very convenient. Moreover, these can be achieved by simply attaching the faucet lever of the present invention to the conventional faucet handle, which saves time and labor for replacement of the faucet body.
