Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a water supply faucet that can wash off dirt from the faucet frame by itself.

When workers at factories, construction sites, etc. twist the faucet frame with their hands dirty with oil or mud, the dirt remains on the faucet frame, so it must be washed away after use to prevent the next user from using it. Not sanitary.

Conventionally, in such cases, workers who have washed their hands would scoop water from the faucet with their hands, sprinkle it on the faucet frame, and wash it off with soap if necessary, but such manual work is inefficient. In addition to being a matter of personal preference, it was also left up to the common sense of the user, and was not necessarily implemented for the benefit of subsequent users.

The same can be said about the water faucet in the toilet or the water faucet in the kitchen.

In view of the above, this invention was designed to make it easier to remove dirt from the faucet frame by devising the structure of the water supply pipe. A front view showing an embodiment of the water supply faucet of the present invention,
FIG. 2 shows the same plan view, but this invention is based on the idea that a branch pipe 3 that is obliquely opened obliquely to the axis of the faucet pipe 1 or that is substantially straight and that is also oblique is connected to the faucet pipe. A joint 5 which is branched and connected to the joint 1 and can rotate 360° around the axis is attached to the tip of the branch pipe 3, and a shallow, almost inverted U-shaped or tilted water supply pipe 4 is connected to the joint 5 to supply water. A small diameter part 41 coaxial with the mouth of the water supply port 40 of the pipe 4 is provided, and an annular discharge port 42 is provided at the base of the small diameter part 41, and the water supply port 40 is connected to a faucet. This is a water supply faucet that is rotatable so as to form an arcuate locus including directly above the frame 2. In the figure, 6 indicates a connecting branch pipe, 61 indicates a threaded portion thereof, and 62 indicates a rubber backing.

The branch pipe 3 in the figure is shown as a curved pipe that intersects the vertical axis of the faucet pipe 1 and stands in series with a gentle opening, and the water supply pipe 4 is a shallow almost inverted U-shape. It has a shape and has a turning range of 360° (in the case of the figure) around the axis of the branch pipe 3, and within the turning range, the water supply port 40 forms an arcuate locus including a position directly above the faucet 2. It looks like this.

The connecting branch pipe 6 has its threaded portion 62 watertightly connected to the main water supply pipe P as shown by the dashed line in FIG.

The connection port 51 on the branch pipe 3 side of the joint 5 is non-rotatable, but the connection port 52 on the water supply pipe 4 side can freely pivot in a watertight manner within a range of 360° with respect to the axis using ball bearings and water seals. It is said that

Instead of a curved pipe that crosses the axis of the faucet pipe 1 obliquely and opens diagonally upward, a straight pipe that branches horizontally is used as the branch pipe 3, and the water supply pipe 4 is formed in an inverted shape, as described above. It may also be designed to provide turning performance.

Further, the branch pipe 3 is not in a fixed relationship with the faucet pipe 1, and the same joint as the joint 5 may be used to provide turning properties.

Since this device has the above-mentioned configuration, the water supply pipe 4 is in the position shown by the solid line in FIGS. (In this article, this bevel is an obtuse angle, but it may be a right angle or an acute angle.) After twisting the faucet frame 2 with dirty hands, drain the water from the water supply pipe 4 and wash your hands. If the rotation is stopped at the dotted chain line value, that is, the location where the water supply port 40 is located directly above the faucet frame 2, the faucet frame 2 will be washed by the water drained from the water supply port 40, so in this case, if necessary, The faucet frame 2 is cleaned by applying soap, detergent, etc. to the faucet frame 2.

Thereafter, the faucet frame 2 is twisted to stop the water supply, and the water supply pipe 4 is twisted in a diagonal relationship with respect to the branch pipe 3 in advance or during the next use.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a coaxial small-diameter portion 41 is provided protruding from the water supply port, and an annular drain port 42 is provided at the base of this small-diameter portion 41. Because of this, in the above operation, the water supply pipe 4 can be rotated by operating this small diameter section 41, and furthermore, this small diameter section 40 can be constantly washed with water from the drain port 42. It is clean and hygienic.

As described above, this invention attaches the water supply pipe 4 to the branch pipe 3 branched from the faucet pipe 1 so as to be able to rotate freely in an appropriate rotation range, and the position directly above the faucet frame 2 is included on the arcuate trajectory of the water supply port 40. Therefore, in order to remove dirt from the faucet frame 2, there is no need to scoop and sprinkle water by hand as in the past. The faucet frame 2 will be washed by its own waste water just by letting the faucet frame 2 wash, so if the first user is conscious of the hygiene of the second user, this can be done very easily, but even if the faucet frame 2 is neglected. However, if the later user turns the water supply pipe 4 according to the above-mentioned procedure when using it, the dirt can be washed away without any effort, and the small diameter part 41 can also be removed from the drain port 42. It is hygienic as it is washed by...

Therefore, the faucet of the present invention is useful for use in public facilities, toilets, kitchens, etc.
