Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily form various fountain shapes such as the shape of a flower by providing the end part of a conduit with a water-inducting plate extended on the side in the edge part of a fountain port and also providing the upper part of the fountain port with a baffle plate with the prescribed interval from the surface of the water-introducing plate and erecting a water current-changing plate in the peripheral part of the water-inducting plate. SOLUTION: When a pressurized water current flows upward through a conduct 4 and reaches the upper end of the conduit 4, firstly the pressurized water current collides against the rear surface of a baffleplate 10 and the direction of the water current is changed on the side and the water current is spouted from the center toward the whole direction of the periphery of the upper surface of a water-inducting plate 8. Then, the spouted water current collides against the lower end part of a water current-changing plate 16 and rises along the wall surface of the water current-changing plate 16 and spouts from the top edge part of the water current-changing plate 16 into the air and becomes so-called fountain. At this time, the shape of fountain is formed in accordance with the shape of the water current-changing plate 16. For example, in the case of forming the shape of the water current- changing plate 16 into an annular shape which is nearly tilted outward, fountain represents a flower like a lily of the valley because fountain falls down outward when the force of the water current is lost.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the fountain device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is another embodiment of the present invention. Perspective view showing the form of
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a case where a plurality of fountain devices of the present invention are arranged. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example.

In the figure, 2 is a fountain device according to the present invention.
The fountain device 2 has a water conduit 4. One end of the water conduit 4 is opened to form a fountain 6, and the other end is connected to a water flow source (not shown), for example, a jetting device of pressurized water or a faucet of water supply.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a water guide plate, which extends laterally from the edge portion of the fountain 6 of the water guide pipe 4. A baffle plate is installed above the fountain port 6 at a predetermined distance from the surface of the water guide plate 8. The baffle plate 10 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the water guide plate 8, and acts so that the water flow ejected from the fountain port 6 turns to the side and is guided and flows on the water guide plate 8. To do.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a support rod vertically provided at the center of the lower surface of the baffle plate 10. The support rod 1
The baffle plate 10 is fixedly installed at a predetermined position by fixing 2 in the water guide pipe 4 by the fixing pins 14, 14.

A water flow changing plate 16 is provided at the peripheral portion of the water guiding plate 8.
Is erected upward. The water flow changing plate 16
Serves to eject the water flow guided on the water guide plate 8 into the air.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a reinforcing plate having a substantially inverted triangular pyramid shape, the upper end of which is integrated with the water flow changing plate 16 and the lower end of which is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the water conduit 4 by welding or the like.

With the structure shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the water conduit 4 is provided.
When the pressurized water flow flowing from below to above reaches the upper end of the water guide pipe 4, first, it collides with the lower surface of the baffle plate 10 to change the direction of the water flow to the side and the upper surface of the water guide plate 8 from the center. Ejects in all directions around. Furthermore, this jet flow collides with the lower end of the water flow changing plate 16, and the water flow changing plate 1
6 rises along the wall surface of 6, and jets out into the air from the upper end edge of the water flow changing plate 16 to form a so-called fountain.

At this time, a fountain shape is formed according to the shape of the water flow changing plate 16. In the case of the configurations of FIGS. 1 to 3, the shape of the water flow changing plate 16 is an annular shape inclined slightly outward. Therefore, the fountain also has an annular shape that is directed slightly outward, and when the water flow loses momentum, it will drop further outward, resulting in a fountain shaped like a lily of the valley flower, for example.

The shape of the water flow changing plate 16 is as shown in FIGS.
Various modifications other than the example of FIG. 3 are possible. For example, if the water flow changing plate 16 is configured to have a wavy curved surface as shown in FIG. 4, the fountain shape also has a wavy curved surface.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the water flow changing plate 1
If the upper edge portions of 6 are configured to be slightly inward with respect to each other, the fountain will have a shape in which the upper portion bulges, so that, for example, a flower bud state is expressed.

In each of the above-described examples, the baffle plate 10 has been described as having a structure that merely functions to change the direction of the water flow. However, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of through holes 20 are formed in the baffle plate 10. If provided, a part of the water flow rising from the water conduit 4 will pass through the through hole 20 and be ejected upward. In this way, a plurality of thin water streams are jetted upward from the baffle plate 10 to form a plurality of small fountains.

In this structure, the fountain formed by ejecting water upward from the edge portion of the water flow changing plate 16 and the baffle plate 10.
Two types of fountains are formed above. In this case, the fountain ejected from the upper end edge of the water flow changing plate 16 becomes, as it were, a flower flyer, and the small fountain on the baffle plate 10 becomes an stamen, so that the fountain shape may approximate to the actual flower shape. it can.

Although the fountain device 2 of the present invention can be independently connected to a water flow source to enjoy a single fountain shape, for example, a flower-shaped fountain, in addition, a plurality of fountain devices 2 of the present invention are shown in FIG. You can also place it at and enjoy the ikebana fountain.
In FIG. 7, the plurality of leaves H may be separately molded and attached, but it is of course possible to form the plurality of leaves H by a fountain.
