Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent interference between a wash bowl and a shower hose by arranging a wash bowl base, on which a wash bowl can be placed on the base, underneath a shower faucet, and a vertical pipe portion of an elbow is connected below the shower faucet in a freely rotatable manner and connecting the shower hose to the lateral pipe portion of the elbow. SOLUTION: A wash bowl base 3 on which a wash bowl can be placed, is arranged underneath a shower faucet 2. A lateral pipe portion 7a of an elbow 7 is connected to the lower portion of the shower faucet 2, and a shower hose 6 is connected to a lateral pipe portion 7b of the elbow 7. The lateral pipe portion of 7a of the elbow 7 is rotated freely relative to an adopter 9 and the shower hose 6 connected through the lateral pipe portion 7b of the elbow 7 is also rotated laterally through the elbow 7. At this time, the shower hose 6 is connected to the lateral pipe portion 7b of the elbow 7, even though a wash bowl is placed on the top of the wash bawl base, the shower hose will never hit the wash bowl. Thus, the wash bowl does not interfere the shower hose.

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 shower hose to a shower curan, and more particularly, to a structure for attaching a shower hose so as to be freely movable in a lateral direction (circular shape) around the shower curan. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a wall storage unit 1 called a storage niche, a washbasin 3 is integrally provided below a shower curn 2 as shown in FIGS. The wash basin 4 is placed on the top so that it can be used. A connection tube 5 protruding downward is rotatably mounted below the shower curn 2, and the base end of a shower hose 6 is connected to the connection tube 5. The shower hose 6 is movable in the vertical direction (up and down direction) as shown by an arrow a in FIG.
Is rotated, as shown by an arrow b in FIG.
The shower hose 6 is adapted to rotate in the lateral direction about the axis.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when the basin 4 is placed on the basin 3 and used, the shower hose 6 is moved and the basin 4 and the shower hose 6 are moved. Therefore, there is a problem that the basin 4 falls from the basin 3 or the shower hose 6 does not move and becomes difficult to use.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above description, and by connecting a shower hose via an elbow, the shower hose can avoid a basin even if the shower hose is movable in the lateral direction. An object of the present invention is to provide a shower hose mounting structure that draws a simple trajectory and does not interfere with the basin and the shower hose.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shower hose mounting structure according to the present invention, in which a washbasin base on which a washbasin can be placed is disposed below a shower curan. And a vertical tube portion 7a of an elbow 7 is rotatably connected to a lower portion of the shower curan 2 and a shower hose 6 is connected to a horizontal tube portion 7b of the elbow 7. Elbow 7 for shower curan 2
When the shower hose 6 is turned, even if the shower hose 6 is movable in the horizontal direction, the shower hose 6 is connected to the basin 3
Draw a trajectory that avoids the upper basin 4, without the basin 4 and the shower hose 6 interfering with each other, without the basin 4 dropping or the shower hose 6 getting caught on the basin 4, Usability can be improved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shower hose mounting structure according to the first aspect.
A cylindrical adapter 9 is screwed and connected to a connection tube 8 projecting from a lower part of the elbow 7, and a cap nut 10 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the vertical pipe portion 7 a of the elbow 7 is screwed to the lower part of the adapter 9. And connected. In this case, the elbow 7 can be easily and rotatably connected to the shower curan 2.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A wall storage unit 1 called a storage niche is mounted so as to be buried in a wall surface of a bathroom. The wall storage unit 1 can store an object used in the bathroom. It has become. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a basin 3 is integrally provided at a lower portion of the wall storage body 1 so as to protrude forward, so that the basin 4 can be placed on the basin 3. It has become. A shower curan 2 is attached to the wall housing 1 at a predetermined distance above the wash basin 3, and a water discharge port 20 and a shower hose are provided below the shower curan 2 as shown in FIGS. 6 is provided with a connection tube 8 for supplying water. An open / close switching handle 17 for supplying water or hot water and a temperature setting handle 18 for adjusting the temperature are provided at an upper portion of the shower curan 2. A male screw portion is provided on the outer periphery of the connection tube 8, and a female screw portion is provided on the inner periphery of the upper part of the cylindrical adapter 9. The female screw portion is screwed to the male screw portion of the connection tube 8 to connect the connection tube 8. An adapter 9 is attached to 8, and a male screw portion is provided on the outer periphery of a lower portion of the adapter 9. The elbow 7 is formed in a substantially L-shape by a vertical tube portion 7a and a horizontal tube portion 7b, and a cap nut 10 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the vertical tube portion 7a. At this time, the flange 1 at the upper end of the vertical pipe portion 7a
An annular packing 13 is interposed between 1 and the flange 12 of the cap nut 10. Then, the cap nut 10 is screwed into the male screw portion at the lower part of the adapter 9 to thereby make the adapter 9
Is connected to the elbow 7. By connecting the elbows 7 in this way, the elbows 7 can be connected in a watertight manner and the elbows 7 can be rotatably connected. A shower head 14 is integrally mounted on one end of the shower hose 6, and a connection nut 15 is provided on the other end of the shower head 14.
The end of the shower hose 6 is connected to the horizontal tube portion 7b of the elbow 7 by screwing into the external thread portion on the outer periphery of the end portion. At this time, the connection nut part 15 is screwed to the horizontal pipe part 7b via a packing 16 as necessary.

Although the shower hose 6 is attached as described above, the vertical pipe portion 7a of the elbow 7 can freely rotate with respect to the adapter 9 as shown by an arrow c in FIGS. The shower hose 6 connected via the horizontal tube portion 7b can also be rotated in the horizontal direction via the elbow 7. At this time, since the shower hose 6 is connected to the horizontal pipe portion 7b of the elbow 7, even if the basin 4 is placed on the basin stand 5, the shower hose 6 does not hit the basin 4. Therefore, the wash basin 4 and the shower hose 6 do not interfere with each other, and the wash basin 4 does not drop and the shower hose 6 does not catch on the wash basin 4,
Usability can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, the basin 3 is integrated with the wall storage unit 1.
It may be separate from. In the example of the above embodiment, the elbow 7 is connected to the shower curan 2 via the adapter 9.
The elbow 7 is directly attached to the shower curan 2
May be attached.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a basin on which a basin can be placed is disposed below a shower curan, and a vertical pipe portion of an elbow is rotatable below the shower curan. Since the shower hose is connected to the horizontal pipe of the elbow and connected, the shower hose avoids the basin on the basin when the shower hose is rotated even if the shower hose is movable in the horizontal direction It draws such a locus, so that the basin and the shower hose do not interfere with each other, the basin does not drop, and the shower hose does not get caught on the basin, and the usability can be improved. Things.

[0011] The invention of claim 2 of the present invention relates to claim 1
In the above, a cylindrical adapter is screwed and connected to the connection tube protruding from the lower part of the shower curan, and a cap nut rotatably mounted on the upper end of the vertical pipe part of the elbow is screwed into the lower part of the adapter. The connection allows the elbow to be easily and rotatably connected to the shower curan.
