[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a curan 2 whose water supply amount can be adjusted by rotating a handle 1 is turned laterally to one side in a lateral direction with an outlet side 3 thereof. At the tip of the outlet side 3, one end of the supply pipe part 5 bent in an elbow shape (bend shape) is perpendicularly attached to the tip of the outlet side 3 by the rotary joint 4 a around the axis X of the outlet side 3. And a supply pipe 5 for the curan 2.
On the other end of the supply pipe, the faucet pipe 6 bent in an elbow shape is centered on an axis (Y at the other end of the supply pipe section 5) Y in a direction orthogonal to the axis X by the rotary joint 4b. So that it can rotate. Reference numeral 7 denotes a wall serving as an installation portion of the caran 2.

In the basic posture shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 to 3, if the faucet tube 6 is in the way when washing many dishes in the sink, it is necessary to use a currant. Is rotated about an axis X. At this time, in a state where the faucet pipe 6 is rotated about the axis Y at the rotary joint 4b and displaced so as to be in a horizontal horizontal posture, the supply pipe section 5 of the curan 2 is moved at the rotary joint 4a. Rotate around the center line X to make the faucet tube 6
Is displaced to a high position together with the rotary joint 4b as an attachment portion, or the supply tube portion 5 of the curan 2 is rotated while the faucet tube 6 is kept as it is, and the faucet tube 6 is largely displaced upward. Let it do. Thus, when a large number of dishes are being washed or when the washed dishes are shifted, the interference between the dishes and the faucet tube 6 can be avoided. Further, since the rotation of the faucet tube 6 and the rotation of the supply tube portion 5 can be arbitrarily performed, the supply tube portion 5 is turned rightward or leftward as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 2 and 3, a vertical posture as shown by a chain line in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be obtained. In this case, since the outlet side 3 of the curran 2 is fixed horizontally, the faucet pipe 6 can be displaced so as to jump upward by rotating the supply pipe part 5, and the upper part of the sink tank can be moved upward. Can be wider.

Next, FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In a configuration similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the other end of the supply pipe 5 of the curan 2 is provided. Instead of connecting the faucet tube 6 bent in an elbow shape,
Is connected to the other end of the supply pipe portion 5 so as to be rotatable about an axis Z by a rotary joint 4b.

In the case shown in FIG. 4, the faucet pipe 8 can be turned horizontally by using the other end of the supply pipe part 5 of the curan 2 downward, and the water supply can be performed in a wide range. In addition, the faucet tube 8 can be largely displaced upward by rotating and displacing the supply tube portion 5 about the axis X, and can be used in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. Can be.

FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. In the configuration similar to that shown in FIG.
An elbow-shaped supply pipe 9 is interposed between the supply pipe section 5 of the curan 2 and the faucet pipe 6, and one end of the supply pipe 9 is connected to the tip end of the supply pipe section 5 of the curan 2 by a rotary joint 4 c. And the faucet pipe 6 is rotatably connected to the other end of the supply pipe 9 by the rotary joint 4b, and the supply pipe section 5 of the curan 2 is used in a posture in which the tip side is downward. Thereby, the faucet tube 6 can swing largely in the left-right direction about the axis Z along with the supply tube 9.

As shown in FIG. 5, since the faucet tube 6 can be rotationally displaced about three axes X, Y and Z orthogonal to each other, the position of the faucet tube 6 can be three-dimensionally changed. In addition, the tap tube 6 can be moved arbitrarily in the vertical direction by rotating the supply pipe portion 5 of the curan 2 in the same manner as in the above-described embodiments. It is possible to avoid a situation where the faucet tube 6 hinders the washing of dishes.

In the above embodiment, the case where the outlet side 3 of the curran 2 is bent to the left when viewed from the front in the figure is shown. However, the outlet 3 may be bent to the right. Of course, various changes can be made without departing from the scope.

[0015]

As described above, according to the water supply faucet of the present invention, the curan is fixed by bending the outlet side of the outlet sideways, and the supply pipe bent at the end of the outlet side into an elbow shape. And the faucet pipe is rotatably connected to the other end of the supply pipe of the curan, so that the supply pipe of the curan is rotationally displaced. By this, the faucet tube can be easily displaced to a position where it does not obstruct according to the situation of washing and the like, the space above the sink tank can be widened, and the rotation of the supply pipe part of the curan is horizontal. Since it is performed around the axis of the bent curan outlet side, the faucet tube can be greatly flipped upward, so that it has an excellent effect that it does not disturb the washing of many dishes Also, between the other end of the supply pipe part of the curan and the faucet pipe, The faucet tube is three-dimensionally displaced to an arbitrary position by interposing a supply tube bent in a rubo shape and rotatably connected to the other end side of the supply tube portion and the faucet tube, respectively. It can be made extremely convenient.
