Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide faucet mounting structure, in which a faucet is not shaken at the time of the operation of the faucet and mounting works to a easing of the faucet are also facilitated. SOLUTION: A stopper 40 is pinched between a washer 22 and a nut 24 fixing a faucet 16 onto a faucet mounting casing 12. Both the upright piece 46a and drooping piece 48a of the stopper 40 are separated from a wall surface 10 extremely slightly (such as 0.5-5 mm). Since the stopper 40 is abutted against the wall surface 10 when a handle 16a is pushed for opening and closing the faucet 16, the stopper 40 and the faucet 16 are not retreated more than that, and no faucet 16 is shaken. Since the stopper 40 is isolated from the wall surface 10 and the stopper 40 is not fixed onto the wall surface 10, the stopper 40 can be installed simply onto the faucet mounting casing 12.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure in which a water faucet is fixed to a water faucet mounting casing. The present invention relates to a plug mounting structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional faucet mounting structure in which a faucet is fixed to a faucet mounting casing will be described with reference to FIG.

[0003] A faucet mounting casing 12 made of synthetic resin is fixed to the front side of the wall surface 10 by screws 14, and a faucet 16 is mounted in a faucet mounting hole of the faucet mounting casing 12. In this faucet 16, the flange 18 is brought into contact with the front edge of the faucet mounting hole, the male screw portion 20 is inserted into the faucet mounting hole, and the nut 24 is fastened to the male screw portion 20 via the washer 22. It is fixed by. A water supply pipe 28 is connected to the faucet 16 via a one-touch joint 26 and a band fitting 30. 32 is a hand basin or wash basin, and 34 is a top plate of the faucet mounting casing 12.

[0004] The faucet 16 is opened and closed by pulling and turning a handle 16a.

[0005]

In the faucet mounting structure shown in FIG. 3, since the faucet 16 is supported only on the casing 12, the handle 16a is opened or closed to open or close the faucet 16. When pushed, the faucet mounting casing 12 may be deformed so as to be soggy that it may be difficult to operate.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-197497 describes a structure in which a faucet is fixed to a wall surface with a special bracket so that the operation load of the faucet is not imposed on the faucet mounting casing. With the structure of the publication, the faucet is firmly fixed to the wall surface, so that the faucet does not wobble when the faucet is operated.

However, in the structure of the above publication, it is difficult to align the faucet fixed to the wall surface with the faucet mounting casing, and in some cases, the hole of the faucet mounting casing does not match the faucet. Sometimes. Further, since the water faucet is engaged with the hole of the water faucet mounting casing, stress remains in the casing, and the casing may deteriorate at an early stage.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and to provide a water faucet mounting structure in which the water faucet does not fluctuate during operation of the water faucet and the work of mounting the water faucet on the casing is easy. With the goal.

[0009]

A faucet mounting structure according to the present invention is characterized in that a faucet is fixed to a faucet mounting casing mounted on a wall, and a stopper is fixed to the faucet mounting casing together with the faucet. The tip of the stopper is opposed to a wall surface or a member fixed to the wall surface via a gap.

In such a faucet mounting structure, when the faucet is pushed to operate the faucet, the stopper comes into contact with the wall surface and the faucet does not recede any more. Easy to do. Further, this stopper is separated from the wall surface and is not fixed to the wall surface. Since the faucet is fixed only to the faucet attachment casing, the work of attaching the faucet to the casing is also easy.

In the present invention, the stopper is a flat plate having a faucet insertion hole, a leg extending from the flat plate toward the wall surface, and a standing piece provided at the tip of the leg. It is preferable to have a hanging piece.

[0012]

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a faucet mounting structure according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a stopper.

In this embodiment, a stopper 40 is sandwiched between the washer 22 and the nut 24 shown in FIG. The stopper 40 includes a flat plate portion 44 having a faucet insertion hole 42, leg pieces 46, 48 extending rearward from the flat plate portion 44, and a standing piece bent from the tip of the leg pieces 46, 48. 46a and a hanging piece 48a.

The leg pieces 46 are disposed on both sides of the flat plate portion 44, and the leg pieces 48 are disposed between the leg pieces 46, 46. An upright piece 46a is provided at the tip of the leg piece 46, and a hanging piece 48a is provided at the tip of the leg piece 48. The faucet insertion hole 42 is a non-circular hole having a pair of parallel portions 42a, 42a.
Also, the faucet mounting hole of the faucet mounting casing 12 has the same non-circular shape. For this reason, the faucet 16 and the stopper 4
0 does not rotate together with the nut 24 when the nut 24 is tightened.

Both the upstanding piece 46a and the hanging piece 48a of the stopper 40 are very small (for example, 0.5 to 5 mm, preferably 1 to 3 mm, especially 1 to 2 m) from the wall surface 10.
m).

The other structure of this embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 3, and the same reference numerals indicate the same parts.

In the water faucet mounting structure thus constructed, the stopper 40 comes into contact with the wall surface 10 when the handle 16a is pushed to open and close the water faucet 16. The water faucet 16 does not swing back without further retreating.

In this water faucet mounting structure, the stopper 4
0 is separated from the wall 10 and the stopper 40 is
Since the stopper 40 is not fixed to zero, the stopper 40 can be easily attached to the faucet attachment casing 12.

In FIG. 1, the tip of the stopper 40 (the piece 46a,
48a) faces the wall surface 10 directly.
A member such as a plate or a block may be attached to the front of the device, and the ends (pieces 46a, 48a) of the stopper 40 may face the member. Also in this case, a slight gap is provided between the member and the tip of the stopper 40. It is also conceivable that the rear end of the stopper is fixed to the wall surface and the front end of the stopper is disposed immediately near the rear part of the faucet in the faucet mounting casing.
In this case, since it is difficult to position the stopper and the faucet, it is preferable to fix the stopper 40 using the faucet 16 as described above.

In the above embodiment, the upright piece 46a and the hanging piece 48a are provided, but only one of them may be provided.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a structure in which a water faucet is mounted on a water faucet mounting casing, the water faucet is prevented from wobbling during the operation of the water faucet, and the operational feeling of the water faucet is improved. Become. Further, since the stopper is not fixed to the wall surface but is fixed only to the faucet mounting casing, the faucet mounting workability is good.
