As described above, according to the first aspect of the invention, the faucet is embedded in the wall body. This faucet may be either a single faucet or a mixed faucet, and its form may be various forms. However, if this can be connected to a hose, it can be used when cleaning. Connecting a hose to the faucet makes cleaning significantly easier.

On the other hand, when not using this faucet,
It suffices if the opening of the box-shaped recess provided with the faucet is closed. In this case, the faucet is not exposed inside the room.
The provision of such a faucet does not cause any inconvenience such as spoiling the aesthetics and atmosphere of the room.

It should be noted that it is possible to store hoses and other tools necessary for cleaning in the box-shaped recess provided in the wall, and in some cases without connecting or disconnecting the hoses one by one. It is also possible to store the hose in the recess while keeping the connection state.

Even in this case, since the hose and the like are not exposed to the room, there is no fear of impairing the aesthetics of the room.

If a tool such as a hose is stored in the recess, all the work including setup of cleaning work and post-cleaning can be further facilitated.

The above-mentioned sanitary equipment room such as a bathroom and a toilet is a place that needs to be cleaned relatively often, and therefore the present invention is particularly effective when applied to the mounting of the faucet on the wall surface of such sanitary equipment room. Is large (Claim 2).

The water faucet can be held by the frame body, and by fitting the frame body inside the recess, it is possible to save the labor of finishing the inner surface of the recess neatly, and to reduce the size of the recess. This is because it is not necessary to form it in a strictly constant size beforehand.

Further, since the inner surface of the recess can be made up by the frame body, there is an advantage that the inner surface of the faucet embedding space can be made beautiful.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the faucet unit is provided with a door for opening and closing the opening, and the recess and the faucet can be hidden by the door when the faucet is not used. it can.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the frame body includes the first member and the second member so that the relative positions thereof can be adjusted, whereby the depth of the recess formed in the wall body is shallow, or On the contrary, even when it is deep, the frame body can be easily attached according to this.

[0022]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a box-shaped recess formed in the wall 12, and a box-shaped frame body 14 of the faucet unit is arranged in the recess 10 along the inner surface thereof. ..

The frame body 14 is composed of a first member 16 located on the inner side of the recess 10 and a second member 18 located on the opening side. The first member 16 holds the faucet 20. There is.

The faucet 20 has a water discharge port 22 at the tip thereof having an uneven outer peripheral surface to which a hose can be connected.

The second member 18 has a flange 24 at the front end, and the flange 24 is brought into close contact with the wall surface 26 to conceal the gap between the frame body 14 and the inner surface of the recess 10. The second member 18 is also provided with a door 28 that can be opened and closed.

When the faucet 20 is provided on the side wall of the bathroom with the above-mentioned structure, for cleaning the interior of the bathroom, the door 28 is opened to expose the faucet 20, and a hose is connected there to clean the interior of the bathroom. Therefore, the convenience at the time of cleaning is significantly improved.

On the other hand, when the faucet 20 is not used, the door 2
By closing 8 it is possible to prevent the faucet 20 from being exposed to the outside, so that the faucet 20 does not impair the aesthetics of the room.

In this example, the relative position of the first member 16 and the second member 18 constituting the frame 14 in the depth direction of the recess 10, that is, the relative position in the left-right direction in the drawing can be adjusted.

Therefore, when installing the faucet 20, the wall 1 is previously prepared.
Even when the depth of the recess 10 formed in 2 is shallow or, conversely, the depth is deep, the position of the first member 16 and the second member 18 adjusts the depth of the frame 14 to the recess 10.
It can be adapted to that.

Therefore, the frame body 14 can be mounted in an appropriate state regardless of the depth of the recess 10.
