Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a faucet to a standing wall surface of a vanity, a sink, a bath unit or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A water faucet used for a vanity or the like is usually attached to a mounting hole provided on a horizontal vanity counter, but since the counter is widely and effectively used, it has been conventionally used. -146088, Shokai 61-20
A publication such as 6768 proposes a type that can be attached to a standing wall between a sink and a mirror. For these faucets, insert the connection part into the mounting hole on the wall surface, tighten the fixing nut from the back side of the wall surface to fix it, and connect the tap part in the floor cabinet and the faucet body from the connection part on the back side of the wall surface. It is a structure to connect with. Therefore, when installing the faucet, it is difficult to work because it is on the back side of the wall surface, and if there is no working space on the back side, it is necessary to perform the installation work before installing the vanity, When it was necessary to remove the faucet for maintenance and inspection, it was impossible to work without moving the vanity itself. Further, when fixing the faucet main body, there are various drawbacks such that it is impossible to work by one person because the front side of the wall surface needs to be fixed and the back side needs to be tightened.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a faucet mounting structure in which one person can easily mount a faucet only by working from the front of a standing wall. Is.

[0004]

To this end, in the faucet mounting structure of the present invention, a flexible water supply pipe is led out from a mounting opening formed in a wall surface, and the tip of the water supply pipe is placed behind the faucet main body. And the fitting is fixed to the wall surface, the faucet body is hooked on the fitting so that the fitting opening and the fitting are concealed by the faucet body, and the faucet body floats. It is characterized in that a screw for preventing the above and maintaining the hooked state is tightened to the outer surface of the faucet body. Further, the mounting structure of the water faucet of the present invention is such that a flexible water supply pipe is led out from a mounting opening formed on a wall surface, and the tip of the water supply pipe is joined to the water faucet body from the back surface.
A frame-shaped mounting metal fitting surrounding the mounting opening is fixed to the wall surface, and a hook portion formed upright on the upper edge of the mounting metal fitting is inserted into a bag-shaped portion formed on the back surface of the faucet body, and the mounting is performed. The faucet body is hooked on the fitting so that the opening and the fitting are concealed by the faucet body, and a screw screwed from the outer surface of the faucet body prevents the faucet body from floating. The fastening portion of the screw is provided at the lower edge portion of the mounting metal fitting so as to maintain the hooked state. Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned water faucet mounting structure, a hooking metal for forming a bag-like portion is fixed to the back surface of the water faucet body with a screw.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings with respect to a bathroom vanity as shown in FIG.
This vanity 1 has a ball 2 as shown in FIG.
A single-lever operation type hot and cold water mixing faucet is attached to a wall surface 3 formed in an upright shape in the inner part of the faucet. Further, 7 is a water stopcock provided on the rear side wall surface of the vanity 1, and one end of a flexible water supply pipe 8 such as a blade hose or a rubber hose is connected to the water stopcock 7 and the water supply pipe is connected. 8 is led out from a rectangular mounting opening 9 formed in the wall surface 3 and the tip of the water supply pipe 8 is joined to a connection port provided on the back surface of the faucet body 4 as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a plate-shaped mounting member formed by cutting a metal plate into a gate-shaped frame surrounding the mounting opening 9. A plurality of screws 12 are passed through the mounting member 11 and the screws 12 are formed.
The mounting bracket 11 is fixed to the wall surface 3 by screwing on the periphery of the mounting opening 9 of the wall surface 3. The fitting 11 has a hook portion 13 formed by bending an upper edge forward so as to stand up, and both lower edges are formed with fastening portions 14, 14 by bending forward like a crank. The tightening portion 14,
The screw holes 15 are formed in each of the holes 14.

On the other hand, the faucet body 4 has a bag-like shape into which the hook portion 13 can be inserted by integrally forming a hanging plate 16 on the upper edge of the rear surface of the faucet body 4 with a size capable of concealing the mounting opening 9 and the mounting bracket 11. The part 17 is formed. Also, the faucet body 4
Screw fastening portions 18, 18 facing the tightening portions 14, 14 are formed at both corners of the lower edge, and screws 19 are inserted into the screw fastening portions 18, 18 from the front of the faucet body 4, respectively. Through hole 20
Has been established.

When the faucet body 4 is attached to the wall surface 3, the faucet body 4 is first joined to the flexible water supply pipe 8 led out from the attachment opening 9 as shown in FIG. 11 is fixed to the wall surface 3 with screws 12. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the hook portion 13 of the fitting 11 is inserted into the bag-shaped portion 17 on the back surface of the faucet body 4 to hook the faucet body 4 on the fitting 11 and A screw 19 is inserted into the through hole 20 from the front surface of the stopper body 4 and the screw 19 is attached to the fitting 11.
The screw holes 15 of the tightening portions 14, 14 are screwed and tightened. If the water supply pipe 8 is led out from the mounting opening 9 in advance, such mounting can be easily performed only by work from the front of the wall surface 3. Then, by tightening the screw 19, the faucet body 4 can be firmly attached at a fixed position.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the present invention in which a screw 19 for keeping the faucet body 4 in a hooked state is screwed in from the lower surface of the faucet body 4. That is, in this embodiment, tightening portions 14 and 14 that are bent obliquely forward and upright are formed at both lower edges of the mounting bracket 11, and the lower surface of the faucet body 4 is provided with both corners as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, screw holes 15 into which the screws 19 can be screwed are opened, and
By screwing in, the tip of the screw 19 is tightened into the tightening portion 14,
A structure in which the faucet body 4 can be fixed to the wall surface 3 without a gap when the screw 19 is tightened by pressing 14 and sliding the tip of the screw 19 along the inclination of the tightening portions 14, 14. Is.

The hanging plate 16 for forming the bag-shaped portion 17 may be formed integrally with the faucet body 4 as described above, but in the case of casting, dimensional accuracy is easily obtained. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a screw hole 21 is formed in the back surface of the faucet body 4, and a hook plate 22 formed by bending a metal plate is separately screwed into the back screw hole 21. The bag-shaped portion 17 may be formed by screwing and fixing the bag-shaped portion 17. Although the hot and cold water mixed faucet has been described in this embodiment, the present invention can be applied not only to a single faucet mounting structure but also to a case where a water outlet such as a shower is provided on a wall surface. It can also be applied when installing a faucet on a standing wall such as a sink or bath unit.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the faucet can be attached only by the work from the front of the wall surface, even one worker can easily fix the faucet at a predetermined position without any skill. It can be attached to and improves workability. There is a beneficial effect that maintenance and inspection can be done easily by just working from the front.
