Description

{SHOWER FOR PREVENTING WATER LEAKAGE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a shower head, and more particularly, to a shower having a function of preventing leakage of water.

Generally, a shower has a water channel formed therein and a plurality of discharge ports communicating with the water channel are formed to be connected to a water supply line for supplying water, and a user can shower a desired part of the body by holding a shower .

Even after using the shower, water remains in the shower hose and shower, and such water tends to be slowly and continuously discharged. If the shower residue is discharged, it may be mistaken for the shower not only to make the toilet dirty.

If the hanger is placed on a high place after using the shower, the remaining amount may be discharged slowly, which may lead to a problem of being mistaken. Especially, after building a building such as an apartment building, residents are increasingly questioning the emission of residual water in the course of examining whether or not the residents are discharging their residues.

The distribution pipe 50 includes a first pipe portion 51 extending in one direction, a second pipe portion 52 connected to the longitudinal end portion of the first pipe portion 51 and extending in a direction intersecting the first pipe portion 51, And a tube portion 53. The second tube portion 52 and the third tube portion 53 are arranged in parallel and formed in a direction perpendicular to the first tube portion 51.

An injection part 56 for introducing water into the first tube part 51 is formed at the center of the first tube part 51. The injection part 56 protrudes upward from the first tube part 51 and the upper surface is opened. The discharge port 54 is formed in the second tube portion 52 and the third tube portion 53 so that the upper end toward the body portion 10 is opened and the lower end is closed. The discharge port 54 is formed on both side ends of the second tube portion 52 and the third tube portion 53. Thus, the distribution pipe 50 has four outlets 54. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the distribution pipe 50 may have two or more discharge ports.

The discharge port 54 is inserted into the cup portion 33. When the water is discharged through the discharge port 54, the discharge port 54 is pressed against the support surface 35 of the cup portion 33, As shown in FIG. Accordingly, the blocking groove 31 and the blocking rib 235 are spaced apart from each other, the drain hole 224 is opened, and the water can be discharged to the outside through the drain cover 20.

When the supply of water is stopped, the auxiliary member 30 moves downward due to its own weight, and the blocking groove 31 blocks the blocking rib 235 to block the drain hole, thereby preventing the residual water from being discharged. In addition, when the column member 30 moves downward, the cup portion 33 blocks the discharge port 54 to prevent water from leaking from the distribution pipe 50.

Hereinafter, a shower head according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 6 is a partial sectional view showing a shower head according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

6, the shower head according to the second embodiment has the same or similar structure as that of the shower head according to the first embodiment except for the elastic member, so that a redundant explanation Is omitted.

Between the support plate 40 and the water level member 30, an elastic member 80 for pressing the water level member 30 with the drain cover 20 is provided. The elastic member 80 may be installed to abut the upper surface of the blocking groove 31, and may be installed on the upper portion of the blocking protrusion 37. The elastic member 80 may be a spring. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the elastic member may be made of rubber, silicone, urethane or the like.

When the elastic member 80 is installed between the support plate 40 and the water level member 30, the elastic member 80 presses the blocking member 30 to the drain cover 20 when water is not supplied . When the blocking member 30 is pressed, not only the blocking ribs 235 are inserted into the blocking grooves 31 but also the blocking protrusions 37 are inserted into the blocking ribs 235 to reliably prevent the residual water from being discharged.

As described above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed in the present specification and drawings, and although specific terms have been used, they have been used only in a general sense to easily describe the technical contents of the present invention and to facilitate understanding of the invention , And are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
