Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a hose with a hose connected to a water spouting tool such as a shower head at the tip of a counter such as a vanity or sink so that water droplets can be removed. The present invention relates to a waterproof structure that prevents dripping under the counter.

[Prior art and its drawbacks]

A hose whose tip is connected to a shower head is inserted into a supporting tool provided on a counter such as a vanity and a sink so that the hose can be moved in and out of the supporting tool, and the water discharge tool is attached to the tip of the supporting tool. In a hose withdrawal device that can be detachably supported on the hose, prevents water spray droplets from entering the underside of the counter through the hose insertion hole of the support tool, or prevents water droplets adhering to the hose from entering. For this reason, a waterproof structure in which a bellows-like cover covers the underside of the hose is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-3870.

However, the above conventional waterproof structure has a complicated structure because the hose is completely surrounded by the cover, and has the following drawbacks in construction. That is, there is a very small space on the lower side of the counter with the washbasin protruding downwards,
Since the cover has to be mounted in the narrow space, the mounting work is not easy. For example, it is practically difficult to fix the cover and the water pan after inserting the hose into the cover and the water pan because the workability is extremely poor. It was also difficult to insert a hose through this. In other words, even if the hose is damaged during use and the user needs to replace it, it is difficult with the conventional structure to make it practically impossible.

Further, in the vanity table disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-190761, a tubular body capable of covering a hose is attached to a pedestal portion projecting to the lower surface of the counter by an attaching means such as a cap nut. By making the lower part hang down during receiving the water, it is possible to catch the water droplets attached to the hose during receiving the water. However, in this case as well, the cylindrical body has to be mounted in a narrow space under the counter, so the mounting work is not easy, and in order to mount such a cylindrical body on the pedestal, the protruding portion that matches the size, shape, etc. Since it has to be provided, it cannot be attached without it, and therefore it cannot be attached to any vanity and is not versatile. Further, when the tubular body is hung down while receiving water in this way, the hose insertion hole is blocked by the water discharge tool, which obstructs ventilation inside the tubular body, which prevents the hose from drying out and causes rot and mold. There is also a problem that it is liable to occur, and it is apt to become unsanitary because it cannot be cleaned without removing the tubular body.

[Purpose of device]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to provide a waterproof structure for a hose withdrawal device which solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and has a simple structure and can be easily replaced when the hose is damaged.

[Means for achieving the purpose]

In order to achieve the above object, the waterproof structure of the hose withdrawal device of the present invention is such that a hose having a water discharger such as a shower head fixed to the tip is inserted into a support such as a vanity and a sink provided on a counter. In a hose withdrawal device capable of freely moving the hose in and out of the support and supporting the water discharger in a distal end of the support in a detachable manner, a hose insertion of the support opening to the lower side of the counter A hose guide is fixed under the hole so as to face each other with a space, and a hose guide for vertically guiding the hose hanging down from the hose insertion hole to the hose through the hose insertion hole is provided at the upper end opening edge of the hose. It is a feature.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of this type of vanity. In this case, a single handle type hot and cold water mixing valve 3 and a support 5 for supporting a water spout 4 are provided on a horizontal counter 2 of a wash bowl 1. Has been. The water discharger 4 is provided at the tip of the flexible spiral hose 6, and hot water can be discharged from the concentrated water discharge port or the shower spout by switching the knob 7. The support 5 has a shape in which a cylindrical body is curved laterally, the base end portion 10 thereof is inserted into the mounting hole of the counter 2, and the nut 13 is screwed from the lower side with the packing 11 and the washer 12 interposed. By doing so, it is installed and fixed to the counter 2. The hose 6 is inserted into the support 5, the water discharger 4 is fixed to the tip of the hose 6, and the other end is screwed into the water discharge connection port 15 of the hot and cold water mixing valve 3 via a connection fitting 14. It A spline groove 17 is formed in the tip portion 16 of the support tool 5, and the spline groove 17 is adapted to mesh with a spline groove formed on the inner circumference of the grip portion of the water discharge tool 4. Then, under the hose insertion hole 18 of the supporting tool 5 which opens to the lower side of the counter 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper end opening edge 19 is a water container having a rectangular rectangular container. Screw 20 to the inside wall of the cabinet of the vanity
1 and 21 are fixed by screwing at intervals. twenty two
Is a plate-shaped hose guide having a through hole 23 formed in the center and the hose 6 inserted through the through hole 23. The locking pieces 24a, 24b formed by bending at both ends of the hose guide 22 are covered with water. The hose guide is provided right below the hose insertion hole 18 by engaging the upper opening edge 19 of the receiver 20.
The through hole 23 of 22 is positioned so that the hose 6 depending from the hose insertion hole 18 is vertically guided into the water receiver 20. In this case, a guide cylinder 25 having an arcuate longitudinal section is integrally formed in the through hole 23 so as to guide the hose 6 smoothly. Further, a protrusion 26 is formed on the inner surface of the bent portion of one locking piece 24a, and the protrusion 26 is formed on the upper edge 19 of the water receiver 20.
The hose guide 22 is prevented from moving unnecessarily by engaging with the engaging groove 27 provided on the outer surface of the hose guide 22. A large number of the engaging grooves 27 are provided on the outer surface of the upper end opening edge 19 at regular intervals, and the hose guide 22 is adjusted in position by engaging with any one of the engaging grooves 27 as needed to constantly maintain the hose. 6 is guided straight.

Further, the hose guide 22 shown in FIG. 5 has a cutout 28 formed in a part of the through hole 23 so that the hose 6 can be fitted into the through hole 23 through the cutout 28. By forming 28, it is easy to pass the hose guide 22 through the hose 6. Like the hose guide 22, a locking projection 29 may be formed on the locking piece 24b to form an engaging hole on the water receiving side, so that the hose guide 22 can be engaged with and disengaged from the water receiving 20. The structure can be modified in various ways.

With the hose drawing device formed in this way, the hose guide
After inserting the hose 6 into the hose 22, insert the hose guide 22 into the water receiver 20.
Since the hose 6 can be housed in the water catcher 20 by being locked to the upper opening edge 19 of the hose 6, the hose 6 can be easily received even in a narrow space.
It can be stored in 20 and work is easy. Therefore, the hose 6 may be attached at the installation site without attaching the hose 6 in advance at the time of factory shipment, and the hose can be easily replaced. Further, by providing the hose guide 22 just below the hose insertion hole 18, when the hose 6 is pulled out, the hose 6 simply moves straight and the lateral shake is minimized, so that the water droplets attached to the hose 6 scatter. There is very little fear. Also,
Since the hose 6 is vertically guided to the water pan 20 by the hose guide 22, the water flowing into the support 5 is also hose 6.
And surely flows into the water pan 20.

Incidentally, FIG. 6 shows a plane L-shaped water receiver used in the present invention. In such a form, if a hose guide 22 is provided on the projecting portion, the inner wall surface of the cabinet and the water receiver 20 can be attached. Even when the distance to the support tool 5 is large, the water receiver will not be unnecessarily enlarged to occupy a large space in the cabinet.

[Effect of device]

As described above with reference to the embodiments, according to the waterproof structure of the hose withdrawal device according to the present invention, the hose hanging down from the hose insertion hole of the support is vertically guided during receiving the water, so that the hose can be smoothly taken in and out. In addition, the water droplets adhering to the hose and the water flowing from the support can be reliably captured in the water receiver. Then, after passing the hose through the through hole of the hose guide, the hose guide may be locked to the upper opening edge of the water receiver so that the hose becomes vertical, so that it can be easily attached to any hose pull-out device.
This makes it easy to replace the hose if it is damaged during assembly or use at the site of use. Moreover, since it does not hinder the drying of the hose under the counter, there is no danger of causing mold or the like due to moisture, and cleaning can be easily performed simply by pulling out the water pan, which is hygienic and various other beneficial effects.
