FAUCET LEVER HAVING WITH FIT-TYPE PREFABRICATED STRUCTURE}

The present invention relates to a fitted faucet lever, and more particularly, to a fitted faucet lever to improve the installation convenience through structural improvement of the assembly and the exterior by blocking external exposure of the fastening member (screw bolt, etc.). It is about.

Most residential facilities inhabited by humans will be equipped with a piped water facility to supply water from the source of drinking water.

For example, a water pipe for supplying water for living is connected to each generation space of a house such as an apartment or a villa, and in particular, in a bathroom and a kitchen, the cold water supplied from the water pipe ( Mixing faucets are installed to allow selective mixing and discharging of hot water supplied through tap water) and hot water facilities (boilers, etc.).

Here, the mixing faucet is a kind of faucet capable of simultaneously supplying water and hot water, and discharging water (cold water and hot water) through the water discharge port of the faucet body. The structure of the bar is briefly described as follows.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a general mixing faucet. As shown in FIG. 1, a typical mixing faucet 900 is connected to a water supply pipe (not shown) of a water supply while being supplied with water. The faucet body 910 is formed with a water discharge port for discharging the outside of the faucet, the faucet is coupled to the hinge on the faucet body 910 by holding the hand by the hand grip operation to rotate up and down and left and right to control the water discharge relationship The lever 920 is largely divided.

In addition, a cartridge 930 for discharging water and controlling cold / hot water mixing is embedded in the faucet body 910, while a valve stick 931 of the cartridge 930 is connected to the faucet lever 920. An inlet pipe and a cold water inlet pipe are connected to each other, and are configured as a manifold (not shown) for guiding a cold / hot water supply flow while being in close contact with a lower end of the cartridge 930.

According to the conventional mixing faucet, the water is discharged to the outside from the water discharge port 911 of the faucet body 910 by the user gripping operation of the faucet lever 920, the cold water supplied from the cold water pipe the cold water transfer pipe And the manifold is introduced into the cartridge 930, and the hot water supplied through the hot water pipe is introduced into the cartridge 930 through the hot water pipe, and the cold water and hot water introduced by the cartridge 930 are introduced by the cartridge 930. It is selectively discharged to the outside through the water discharge port 911 in a mixed state, so that the water discharged from the water discharge port 911 can be used for people to drink or wash and wash the dishes.

However, due to the structural relationship of simply fastening the assembly between the valve stick 931 and the faucet lever 920 of the cartridge 930 with a screw bolt (b), the screw bolt (b) is closed at the fastening portion (groove). After fitting the cap (c), a sticker must be attached on it to block external exposure of the screw bolt (b) and the finishing cam (c) and to prevent moisture penetration. If it's torn off, it doesn't look very good.

Furthermore, when the sticker is damaged as described above, moisture and various foreign matters may flow into the gap between the fitting portion of the finishing cap (c), and in this case, as well as corrosion of the screw bolt (b), mold and bacterial breeding may be caused. There has been a very dirty problem.

In addition, due to the structural relationship in which the valve stick 931 and the faucet lever 920 are simply coupled to each other by the screw bolt b, frequent breakage of a specific portion of the faucet lever 920 to which the screw bolt b is fastened is frequently performed. For this reason, there has been a problem that the durability of the power receiving lever 920 is greatly reduced.

In this configuration, the faucet handle coupling structure is disclosed to reduce manufacturing costs and maintain durability equivalent to that of a metal material. However, the conventional faucet handle coupling structure also includes a bolt for assembling and coupling a lever and a cartridge (valve stick). Is a necessity, and a structurally troublesome and unsightly problem still remains, such as a cover for closing a through hole formed on a part of the handle for fastening the bolt.

As a result, it is possible to improve installation convenience and secure solid durability through structural improvement of assembly, and to solve the unsightly disadvantages by external exposure of fastening members (screw bolts, etc.) and finishing members (covers, etc.). The research and development of the faucet lever assembly structure is urgently needed.
