Description

A CONNECTOR FOR CONNECTING SHOWER HOSE

The present invention relates to a device for connecting a hose to a shower, and more particularly to a device for connecting a water hose to a shower hose to which a shower head is connected.

Generally, when watering a flower bed in a home, or cleaning water in a bathroom or a front door, an appropriate length of water supply hose is connected to a faucet supplying tap water according to the user's need.

When the flexible water supply hose is directly pushed into the mouth portion of the faucet, the water hose is frequently disconnected from the faucet due to the water pressure. In order to solve such a problem, a connection device separately formed between the faucet and the water supply hose is combined.

In order to solve such a problem, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2000-0013533 (faucet having a washer for connecting a washing machine hose, July 15, 2000) was proposed. This is a connection device comprising a washing machine connection port provided with a large-diameter notch on the faucet for connecting the water supply hose to the faucet.

This method of connection using a dedicated connection device can be installed only in a basic type of faucet, so it can not be installed in a variety of design faucets which are widely used at home.

The hose connecting device of the conventional structure can be installed only in a basic type faucet in which a dedicated connecting device can be installed. However, the faucet which is widely used at home now has a problem in that it is difficult to connect a dedicated connecting device to a faucet in a sink or a bathroom have. In addition, the general water is installed for washing machine only about one per household. In order to use the existing hose, it is troublesome to use the washing hose inserted in the faucet and insert the general hose again.
