Further, a plurality of the water soap supply devices 10 are provided, and the supply ports 40 of the respective water soap tanks 20 are connected by the supply pipe 50.

Further, the replenishment tank 70 is detachably attached to the replenishment pipe 50.

Further, a means 60 for shutting off the flow of water soap is provided upstream of the supply port 40.

[0009]

With the above construction, water soap is replenished from the replenishment tank 70 every time the water level in the water soap tank 20 decreases until the water soap in the replenishment tank 70 is exhausted. The water level of the tank 20 is maintained.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, description will be given on the basis of Examples showing the structure of the present invention.

In the improved part in FIG. 1, a supply port 40 is provided above each water soap tank 20 of a plurality of sets of water soap supply devices 10, 10 ... And each supply port 40 of each water soap tank 20 is provided. They are connected by a supply pipe 50. The configuration of each water soap supply device 10 is the same as that of the conventional water soap supply device 10 except for the above-mentioned parts. Further, a replenishment tank 70 is connected to the most upstream part of the replenishment pipe 50 via an on-off valve 60. The replenishment tank 70 is hermetically sealed, and the replacement of the water soap inside the replenishment tank 70 with the air outside the tank is performed only from the replenishment pipe 50. A1 is the first floor of the building,
A2 is the second floor of the building.

FIG. 2 shows a counter B of the water soap supply device 10.
It is sectional drawing which shows the operation part arrange | positioned at an upper surface in detail.

By pushing the operating portion 95 downward by hand, the transmission shaft 110 fixed to the operation transmitting member 112 activates the pump 80 described later, and the water is discharged from the water soap discharge port 100 through the pipe 30. Dispense soap.

FIG. 3 shows a counter B of the water soap supply device 10.
It is sectional drawing which shows the functional part arrange | positioned inside in detail.

A water soap pump 80 made of bellows is arranged in the water soap tank 20. Further, one end of the water soap pump 80 communicates with the inside of the water soap tank 20 via the check valve 81, and the other end communicates with the pipe 30 via the check valve 83. The transmission shaft 11 is operated by operating the operation unit 95 described above.
By compressing the water soap pump through 0,
The check valve 81 is closed to cut off the communication between the water soap tank 20 and the water soap pump, and at the same time, the check valve 83 is opened to discharge the water soap stored in the water soap pump. Further, when the pressing of the operating portion is released, the water soap pump returns to its original position due to the elastic force of the bellows. Therefore, the check valve 81 is opened and the check valve 83 is closed at the same time. The water soap pump is supplied with water soap and is ready for further use.

The above-mentioned replenishment port 40 is provided above the water soap tank 20, and a replenishment pipe connecting member 41 is integrally provided in the water soap tank 20 by adhesion or bolting. And this supply pipe connecting member 4
As described above, the supply pipe 50 is connected to one end of 1.
The other end of the supply pipe connecting member 41 has the water soap tank 20.
It opens at the same height as the reservoir level.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the supply tank 70 in detail. In the figure, a connecting port 71 is provided at the lowermost portion of a replenishing tank 70 that stores water soap, and a packing 140 is sandwiched between the connecting port 71 and the connecting device 130, and the connecting device 1
The female screw portion 131 provided at one end of the screw 30 is screwed into the connection port 71, and the replenishment pipe 50 made of synthetic resin is fitted into the other end of the coupling tool 130.
And connect. Note that the supply tank 70 and the supply pipe 50 are sealed by the convex portion 132 provided on the outer circumference of the connector.

The replenishment tank 70 is fixed by hooking an engaging portion 72 integrally provided on the replenishment tank 70 to a locking member 120 fixed to a wall C of a building or the like with a wooden screw 121 or the like. Therefore, in replenishing the water soap to the replenishment tank 70, the engaging portion 72 is detached from the locking member 120, and the connecting port 71 is further upward so that the connecting tool 130 and the connecting port 71 are screwed together. And supply tank 70 to supply pipe 5
Separated from 0, water soap is replenished from the connection port 71. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the supply tank 70. In addition,
The same functions or parts will be described using the same drawing numbers. In FIG. 5, the replenishment tank 70 and the connecting member 130 are integrally formed, and the seal portion 73 performs the same function as the convex portion 132 in FIG. 4. Further, the lid portion 74 is used by being cut off from the replenishment tank 70 at the cutting line D when used. In this embodiment, when the water soap in the replenishment tank 70 is exhausted, the replenishment tank 70 is replaced with a new one.

FIG. 6 is a view for facilitating the replenishment of water soap into the replenishment tank 70, and a lid 75 is screwed and fixed to a replenishment opening 77 provided at the upper portion of the replenishment tank 70. A sealing material 76 is provided between the lid 75 and the opening 77. With such a configuration, when replenishing, the lid 75 can be unscrewed to replenish the water soap through the opening 77.

With this structure, when water soap is used, the water soap replenished from the replenishment pipe 50 is stored in the water soap tank 20 due to the difference in head pressure between the replenishment tank 70 and the water soap tank 20. The air in the water soap tank 20 returns to the inside of the replenishment tank 70 through the replenishment pipe 50.

The on-off valve 60 as the shut-off means in FIG. 1 is used when the replenishment tank 70 is removed from the replenishment pipe 50 (in the embodiment of FIG. 6, when the lid 75 is opened), the replenishment tank 70 is closed. When removing, the on-off valve 60 is closed, and when the replenishment tank 70 is attached to the replenishment pipe 50, the on-off valve 60 is opened. That is, it is desirable that the opening / closing valve 60 interlock with the attachment / detachment of the replenishment tank 70. For example, a tube chuck mechanism including a check valve and a seat valve as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-122815 can be used. With such a tube chuck mechanism,
It is not necessary to open and close the on-off valve 60 when the supply tank 70 is attached or detached.

The air pump 85 arranged in the water soap tank 20 includes a check valve (not shown, which has the same function as 81 and 83) and a pipe (not shown) (which has the same function as the pipe 30). As a result, the air intake 86 provided in the bottom wall 21
Accordingly, air is supplied to the water soap discharge port 100 at the same time as the water soap to discharge the foamy water soap.

[0023]

[Effects] The present invention is configured as described above. (1) Since the water soap is replenished from the replenishment tank 70 every time the water level of the water soap tank 20 decreases, the replenishment tank 70 becomes empty. The equipment manager is quicker than the refueling tank 70
The liquid may be replenished to the replenishment tank 70 or the replenishment tank 70 may be replaced when the tank is emptied. Further, while the replenishment tank 70 is empty, a sufficient amount of water soap remains in the water soap tank 20, so that the user does not have any trouble.

(2) Even if the heights of the respective water soap tanks 20 are deviated at the time of construction, the replenishment from the replenishment tank 70 can surely be made up to the water storage level of the respective water soap tanks 20. Therefore, since it is not necessary to make the heights of the water soap tanks 20 uniform during the construction, the construction is easy.

(3) Further, since the replenishment tank 70 can be detached by making the replenishment tank 70 detachable, it is possible to easily replenish water soap into the replenishment tank 70.

(4) Further, the shutoff means 60 is used to supply the supply pipe 50.
The water soap remaining in the pipe is blocked by closing the water soap tank 2
It is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of flowing into 0 and overflowing.
