In the shower faucet having such a configuration, after the user selects a water outlet pipe by manipulating the switching lever 50 and then discharges shower water through the opening/closing lever 60, a shower suitable for the purpose can be performed.

On the other hand, as described above, the shower faucet can be installed in all buildings equipped with shower facilities, and can be installed in special facilities such as senior centers, welfare centers for the disabled, rehabilitation centers, and the like where elderly people with difficulty in mobility live. In this way, the shower faucet installed in the special facility has the following difficulties for the elderly, the main user, to use.

When an elderly person living in a special facility or a user with reduced mobility takes a shower in a bathroom, it is difficult for the user to take a shower while standing, so in most cases, the user takes a shower while sitting in a shower chair or sitting on a toilet seat. . At this time, most users prefer to take a shower while sitting on a toilet seat that is more durable than a shower chair and is of a fixed type and therefore highly safe. At this time, when the user sits on the toilet and takes a shower, the shower is performed by connecting the hand shower to the faucet in the washbasin. There are various problems such as hand shower holder mounting problem, distance problem for faucet operation, hand shower hose length problem, bathroom appearance problem, etc. cause problems

The body 100 preferably has a triangular shape composed of a vertical portion 110, an inclined portion 120, and a horizontal portion 130. The vertical portion 110 forms a hollow vertical space 111 vertically downward. A faucet 112 for controlling the supply of cold water and hot water is installed in the vertical part 110, and the faucet 112 is vertical so that cold water and hot water can be supplied to the shower 200 to be described later through the faucet 112. A hose 113 is connected through the space 111 . At this time, a hot/cold high pressure hose 114 is connected to the faucet 112 and the hose 113 as shown in FIG. 4 so that cold water and hot water can be supplied from an external water supply source. The inclined portion 120 is a portion through which the shower and mounting pipe 300 is drawn in or drawn out, and is inclined upward from the lower end of the vertical portion 110 . The inclined portion 120 also forms a hollow inner space 121, and the inner space 121 is divided as shown in FIG. The divided inner space 121 is referred to as a first space 121a and a second space 121b for convenience of description. As shown in FIG. 4, the first space 121a is a space where the hose 113 connected to the faucet 112 is located, and the hose 113 is drawn out of the body 100 or removed from the first space 121a. It can be drawn into one space (121a). The second space 121b is a space where the mounting pipe 300 is located, and in the process of the hose 113 entering and exiting through the first space 121a, the mounting pipe 300 passes through the second space 121b. can come in and out. At this time, the first space 121a and the second space 121b form an entrance through which the hose 113 and the mounting pipe 300 enter and exit, respectively, and the entrance is the first as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 . It is divided into an entrance (H1) and a second entrance (H2). The horizontal part 130 is a part where the shower head 200 is seated, and is integrally connected between the upper end of the inclined part 120 and the upper end of the vertical part 110. A seating groove 131 is formed in the horizontal portion 130 as shown in FIG. 3 , and the seating groove 131 is a configuration in which the shower 200 is seated and stored when the user does not use the shower 200 . On both sides of the seating groove 131, gripping grooves 131a for easily gripping the shower 200 are formed, and the gripping grooves 131a are the upper portion of the seating groove 131 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 It is made in the form of an opening toward the bottom in the.

The shower 200 is a configuration in which shower water is discharged through the control of the faucet 112, and the hose 113 located in the vertical space 111 of the vertical part 110 and the inner space 121 of the inclined part 120 connected to That is, the shower 200 is connected to the faucet 112 through the hose 113. At this time, the hose 113 is preferably provided as a coil hose so as to increase the convenience of use by increasing the elasticity and to easily enter and exit the internal space 121 . The shower 200 is preferably in a form corresponding to the seating groove 131, and more preferably in a bar shape.

The mounting pipe 300 serves to hold the shower head 200 and is provided so that it can enter and exit the second space 121b through the second entrance H2 of the inclined portion 120 . The mounting pipe 300 is provided so that it can enter and exit the second space 121b along with the shower entering and exiting the first space 121a, and its length can be expanded and contracted. It is preferable that the length of the mounting pipe 300 be adjusted while the plurality of tubes overlap each other in the longitudinal direction or come out from the overlapping portion, and it is preferable to use a length adjusting method such as a rod antenna installed in a radio or the like. A pedestal 310 for supporting the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting pipe 300, and the pedestal 310 is coupled to an end of the mounting pipe 300. When the mounting pipe 300 having such a configuration is inserted into the second space 121b, the axially coupled portion of the pedestal 310 is positioned at the front end of the seating groove 131. Accordingly, the pedestal 310 can be rotated toward the seating groove 131 as shown in FIG. 4 , and the shower head 200 can be seated on the seating groove 131 .
