Description

Water supply

The present invention relates to a water supply device, and more particularly, to a water supply device that is free to move the position, the free water jet position and direction when used.

In general, a water supply, for example, a faucet installed in a washbasin or a sink is fixed in a fixed place. Therefore, the place of use is extremely limited and the jetting position and direction are not free when used. Recently, a water supply using a flexible pipe is used to freely adjust the position and direction of the jetting water. However, the inconvenience that the use area is limited to the installation place could not be solved.

In addition, in the case of a shower connected by a flexible elongated hose which is free from deformation from the main water supply pipe, the shower can be moved freely in a wide area by allowing the position to be moved only for the length of the hose. However, when the shower head is used on the wall, the jetting position and direction cannot be freely set. When the shower head is used with one hand, only the other hand can be used.

The present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object is to provide a water supply device that can be used to move freely from the installation place, the water discharge position and direction can be set freely when using it is very convenient to use.

The guide rail 18 is formed on the support 22, and the guide rail 18 is inserted into the protrusion 15 to guide the lifting member 14 when the lifting member 14 moves up or down to the suction position or the release position.

Referring back to Figures 1 and 2, the water supply device 10 of the present invention is a main water supply pipe (not shown) such as a sink, a sink or a water supply pipe of the shower (26) formed in the body 24 of the stand 20 Water supply line 30 to be connected thereto. The water supply line 30 is formed to have a length that can move the stand 20 freely in a predetermined region from the main water supply pipe, and is a tube or a flexible pipe that can be freely deformed.

The water supply line 30 is provided at both ends with connection sockets 32 and 34 to be described in detail later with reference to FIG. The water supply line 30 is connected to the inlet 26 by the socket 32. Similarly, the main water supply pipe is connected through the socket 34 installed at the other end of the water supply line 30. Then, water can be supplied from the main water supply pipe to the stand 20. The water supply line 30 is to be made in various ways to make it possible to select the appropriate length according to the application.

1 and 2, the water supply device 10 of the present invention includes a water supply 40 connected to an outlet 28 of the stand 20. The water feeder 40 is composed of a flexible water supply pipe 42 that can be freely changed, and a discharge member 44 provided at one end of the flexible pipe 42. The other end of the flexible pipe 42 is provided with a socket 46 so as to be detachably connected to the outlet 28 of the stand 20.

The discharge member 44 can use a conventional thing. As for the discharge member 44, it is preferable to use the thing of the form which can be switched to a shower type or a direct type normally as needed. As the flexible pipe 42, the water discharge position from the discharge member 44 can be freely set using the one shown in FIG. 5A or FIG. 5B.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the inner tube 50 made of flexible plastic resin or rubber, the first elastic member 52 surrounding the tube 50, and the first elastic member 52 are in contact with each other. The second elastic member 54 is provided. The first elastic member 52 is a shape in which the tube 50 is wound in a spiral shape in a circular cross section. The second elastic member 54 is trapezoidal in cross section but may be triangular. The inclined surface 56 of the second elastic member 54 and the first elastic member 52 contact each other. The second elastic member 54 is also wound in a spiral shape. Preferably, the first elastic member 52 and the second elastic member 54 are made of spring stainless steel.

FIG. 5B shows another type of flexible tube, which has a flexible tube 58 inside, like the flexible tube above. The outer side of the flexible tube 58 is surrounded by a circular annular outer ring 60 which forms an outer shell. The cross section of the outer ring 60 is a lying "S" shape. One end of the outer ring 60 is formed with a locking portion 62 that is open to the inside of the tube, the other end is formed with a locking portion 64 that is open to the outside of the tube. The locking portions 62 and 64 are coupled to the locking portions 70 and 72 of the adjacent outer rings 66 and 68, respectively. The outer ring 60 is preferably made of stainless steel. When waterproofing the seams of the outer ring 60, the inner flexible tube may not be provided.

Such flexible tubes are known to those skilled in the art under the name "Javabler tubes". All of the flexible tubes shown in FIG. 5 can be deformed, such as bending or unfolding the tube by applying an external force, and remain deformed even after the external force is removed.

Referring back to Figures 1 and 2, the water supply device 10 of the present invention, the body 24 of the stand 20 is provided with a valve 48 for selectively opening or closing the internal passage (24a) It is desirable to. As the valve 48, a normal one can be used. The valve may be one capable of selectively opening and closing the passage 24a of the body 24, and the lever 48a of the valve 48 is preferably exposed to the outside to facilitate operation. In addition to the valve shown, it can be used as a valve of a button or lever type.

Although the sockets 32, 34, 46 for connection have various forms, the structure connected with the inlet 26 of the stand 20 is demonstrated with reference to FIG. At the end of the water supply line 30, there is a flange portion 32a having a large diameter, and a cylindrical socket 32 is held on the flange portion 32a and is rotatably installed. Moreover, the thread part 32b is formed in the inner surface of the socket 32, and this thread part 32b is connected by screwing with the thread part 26a formed in the outer surface of the inlet port 26 of the stand 20. As shown in FIG.

It is preferable to maintain the sealing therebetween by interposing a packing or sealing ring 32c between the inlet 26 and the flange portion 32a. This structure is also applicable to the sockets 34 and 46. The sockets 32, 34 and 46 for connection are not limited to the above-mentioned forms, but can be connected to various other forms of sockets or connectors known to those skilled in the art. On the other hand, the socket or connecting port connecting the flexible water supply pipe 40 and the body 24 is preferably configured to allow the flexible water supply pipe 40 to rotate freely around the body 24.

The operation of the water supply device configured as described above is as follows.

1 and 2, the water supply line 30 connects one socket 32 to the inlet 26 of the stand 20, and connects the other socket 34 to the basin, sink or shower main. When connected to a water supply pipe (not shown), water can be supplied from the main water supply pipe to the water supply device 10. At this time, it is of course possible to supply and cut off the water supply using a valve (not shown) installed in the main water supply pipe.

Water introduced into the inlet 26 of the stand 20 exits the outlet 28 and is discharged through the water supply pipe 42 and the discharge member 44 of the water supply 40. When the flexible water supply pipe 42 of the water supply 40 is deformed, the water discharge position and direction are set freely, which makes the use more convenient.

In addition, by the water supply line 30 connecting the stand 20 and the main water supply pipe, it is possible to freely move the stand 20 only to the length of the water supply line 30 and to use it in a wide area. Even when the stand 20 is located far from the main water supply pipe, the valve 48 provided in the body 24 can be used to conveniently supply and shut off the water supply without operating the valve of the main water supply pipe.

In addition, according to the stand fixing device provided in the base 22, the stand 20 can be easily fixed and fixed to a floor surface such as a tile of a washroom, in particular, a wet floor. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the crankshaft 16 is operated by operating the operating lever 16b in a state in which the stand 20 is pressed downward and the suction plate 12 is in close contact with the floor as shown in FIG. 2. When rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle, since the crank bent portion (16a) is rotated from the release position (virtual line position) to the adsorption position (solid line position), the lifting member 14 is raised, which causes the suction plate 12 It is spaced apart from the floor to form a space between them.

At this time, since the adsorption plate 12 is made of a flexible rubber material, the edge portion is in close contact with the bottom to maintain airtightness, and since the space is formed therein, the interior becomes a vacuum state. As a result, the stand 20 may be firmly fixed in a state of being adsorbed on the floor due to a difference in air pressure from the outside.

On the contrary, in the case where the stand 20 is to be released from the fixed state, when the operation lever 16b is operated in reverse, as shown in FIG. 4, the crank bent portion 16a is counterclockwise at the suction position (solid line state). It turns to the release position (state shown by a phantom line) by rotating in the direction, so that the lifting member 14 is lowered as shown in FIG. When the center portion of the suction plate 12 is close to the floor by the lowering of the elevating member 14, the vacuum state is released, and thus the stand 20 may be lifted from the floor and moved to another place.

Although the present invention has been described through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the water supply may be supported only by the weight of the stand without the fixing device. In addition, similar to the flexible water supply pipe 42, the water supply line 30 can also use the bellows pipe shown in FIG.

In addition, in another embodiment it may be a configuration that can adjust the height of the outlet 28 in the body (24). Specifically, a separate tube capable of vertical movement is inserted into the body. The separate tube and the body are sealed by a sealing ring. Water is supplied through a separate tube. Move the pipe up and down and fix it with fixing means to adjust the height. Then, the height adjustment of the entire water supply 40 is made, and then the flexible water supply pipe 42 is deformed and adjusted to an optimum use state.

As described above, according to the water supply device according to the present invention, the water supply can be freely moved within a predetermined distance from the water supply pipe of the wash basin, the sink or the shower, and the water discharge position and direction of the water supply can be freely set. This is very convenient and in particular it can be prevented from falling or floating by firmly fixing the stand to the floor or wall of the place where water is used.
