Description

本発明は、水栓装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a faucet device.

従来から、カラン吐水部、シャワー吐水部という２つの吐水部からの吐水及び吐水停止をそれぞれ独立して行うための２つの開閉弁と、該２つの開閉弁をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための２つの押釦（カラン吐水用の押釦と、シャワー吐水用の押釦）とを備えた水栓装置が特許文献１により知られている。 Conventionally, two open / close valves for independently performing water discharge and water discharge stop from two water discharge parts, ie, a currant water discharge part and a shower water discharge part, and for opening / closing the two open / close valves independently. A faucet device provided with two push buttons (a push button for currant water discharge and a push button for shower water discharge) is known from Patent Document 1.

この特許文献１に示される従来例にあっては、水栓装置の断熱カバーに露出するように上記カラン吐水用の押釦と、シャワー吐水用の押釦とを設けたもので、この２つの押釦はいずれも止水位置において押釦の上面部を押す操作をすることで、押釦の高さが上記止水位置よりも若干高くなって吐水位置となり、この吐水位置にある押釦の上面部を押し操作することで、押釦の高さが上記吐水位置よりも若干低くなって止水位置に戻るようになっている。 In the conventional example shown in this patent document 1, the above-mentioned push button for spouting water and the push button for shower water are provided so as to be exposed to the heat insulating cover of the faucet device. In any case, by pushing the upper surface of the push button at the water stop position, the push button height becomes slightly higher than the water stop position to become the water discharge position, and the upper surface of the push button at the water discharge position is pushed. Thus, the height of the push button is slightly lower than the water discharge position and returns to the water stop position.

つまり、止水から吐水への操作、吐水から止水への操作のいずれの操作も、押釦の上面部を押す操作をすることによりおこなっている。 That is, both the operation from the water stop to the water discharge and the operation from the water discharge to the water stop are performed by pressing the upper surface portion of the push button.

ところで、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っている時や、洗顔している時のように、押釦を目でみることなく手探りで探し、押釦を操作して吐水や止水を行う場合がある。このような場合、使用者は、手探りで目的とする押釦を探し、手探りで探した押釦の上面部を押すことで、目的の吐水部から吐水したり、止水したりするものである。 By the way, when washing hair with shampoo or the like, or when washing the face, there are cases where the push button is searched by hand without looking, and the push button is operated to discharge or stop water. In such a case, the user searches for a target push button by groping and presses the upper surface portion of the push button searched by groping to discharge water from the target water discharge section or stop water.

ここで、例えば、シャワー吐水部が止水で且つカラン吐水部が吐水の状態で、石鹸などで洗顔している時、カラン吐水部の吐水を止めようとする際、手探りで、押釦を探して、手に触れた押釦の上面部を押し操作して吐水状態のカラン吐水部を止水状態に切り換えるのであるが、この場合、間違って、シャワー吐水用の押釦の上面部を押し操作して止水中のシャワー吐水部からいきなり湯水が吐水されてしまうことがある。 Here, for example, when washing the face with soap or the like when the shower water discharge part is still water and the curan water discharge part is in the state of water discharge, when trying to stop the water discharge of the Callan water discharge part, look for the push button by groping In this case, the top surface of the push button for shower water discharge is erroneously pressed and stopped. suddenly hot water from the shower water discharge part of the water is sometimes Mau to the water discharge.

また、シャワー吐水部が吐水で且つカラン吐水部が止水の状態で、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っている時、シャワー吐水部の吐水を止めようとする際、手探りで、押釦を探して、手に触れた押釦の上面部を押し操作して吐水状態のシャワー吐水部を止水状態に切り換えるのであるが、この場合、間違って、カラン吐水用の押釦の上面部を押し操作して止水中のカラン吐水部からいきなり湯水が吐水されてしまうことがある。 In addition, when you are washing your hair with a shampoo or the like when the shower water discharge unit is water discharge and the currant water discharge unit is still water, when you try to stop the water discharge of the shower water discharge unit, look for the push button, The top surface of the push button that touched the button is pressed to switch the water discharge shower water discharge portion to the water stop state. In this case, the top surface of the push button for currant water discharge is suddenly hot water from Curran water discharger sometimes arise as being spouted.

また、２つの吐水部のうち、いずれか一方が吐水、いずれか他方が止水状態において、２つの吐水部の両方とも吐水するように操作するには、止水状態と吐水状態とで僅かに高さが異なる２つの押釦の高さの差を手で確認しながら、僅かに低い方の押釦を押す操作をすることで、両吐水部から共に吐水でき、また、２つの吐水部のうち、いずれか一方から吐水、いずれか他方が止水状態において、２つの吐水部の両方とも止水するように操作するには、止水状態と吐水状態とで僅かに高さが異なる２つの押釦の高さの差を手で確認しながら、僅かに高い方の押釦を押す操作をすることで、両吐水部を共に止水にできるのであるが、この２つの押釦における止水と吐水とのわずかな高さの差を手探りで探して確認するのは、きわめて難しく、誤操作してしまうおそれがある。 Moreover, in order to operate so that both of the two water discharge parts may discharge water when either one of the two water discharge parts is water discharge and the other is a water stop state, the water discharge state and the water discharge state are slightly While confirming the difference between the heights of two pushbuttons with different heights, by pushing the slightly lower pushbutton, it is possible to discharge water from both water discharge sections, and of the two water discharge sections, In order to operate so that water is discharged from either one and both of the two water discharge portions are stopped when either one is stopped, the two pushbuttons slightly different in height in the stopped state and the discharged state While checking the difference in height by hand, by pushing the slightly higher push button, both water discharge parts can be stopped, but there is a slight difference between the water stop and water discharge in these two push buttons. It is extremely difficult and frustrating to find and confirm the difference in height There is a possibility that the work.

なお、上記の従来例にあっては、２つの押釦の上面に識別マーク部を係止により取付け、視覚的にシャワー吐水用の押釦と、カラン吐水用の押釦とを識別できるようになっているが、２つの押釦を目視することなく手探りで探す場合、識別マークを手指で触れても識別することができず、結局、手探りで操作する場合、上記したような誤操作をしてしまうおそれがある。 In the above conventional example, an identification mark portion is attached to the upper surface of the two push buttons by locking so that the shower water discharge push button and the curan water discharge push button can be visually identified. However, when searching with two fingers without looking at the two push buttons, the identification mark cannot be identified even with a finger, and eventually, when operating with the finger, there is a risk of performing the above-described erroneous operation. .

このように、目で確認できない状況下で手探りにより、複数の押釦の中から目的とする押釦の操作を行わなければならない場合、上記従来例においては誤操作をする恐れがあり、特に、水栓装置を目で確認していない状況下で、予期していない別の吐水部から急に吐水が行われると、洗顔中の人にいきなりシャワー水がかかったり、あるいは洗髪中の人の足元にいきなり湯水が吐水されたり、あるいは、止水したくないのに突然止水したりするといった事態が生じ、目で見ていないだけに不安感があり、快適な使用ができないという問題がある。 As described above, when the target push button must be operated from a plurality of push buttons by groping under a situation that cannot be visually confirmed, there is a risk of erroneous operation in the conventional example. If water is suddenly discharged from another unexpected water discharge section under conditions where the eyes have not been confirmed with eyes, shower water may suddenly be applied to the face-washing person, or hot water will suddenly appear at the feet of the person being washed. However, there is a problem that water is discharged or suddenly water is stopped even though it is not desired to stop the water.

また、例えば、２つの吐水部のうち、いずれか一方から湯水を吐水したまま放置して止水するのを忘れていたような時、一方の吐水部から湯水が吐水しているのに気付き、あわてて止水しようとする場合、あわてているので、２つの押釦のうち、誤って別の吐水部の押釦を押し操作してしまって、別の吐水部から湯水がいきなり吐水してしまう場合もある。 Also, for example, when you forgot to leave the hot water from either one of the two water discharge sections and stop water, you will notice that the hot water is discharged from one water discharge section, If you want to stop water in a hurry, you may be rushed, so if you accidentally press the push button of another water discharger out of the two pushbuttons, hot water suddenly discharges from another water discharger. is there.

この場合は、２つの押釦が一応、目に見えているが、あわてているため、誤って別の押釦を押し操作してしまうのである。
特開２００４−９２０６９号公報 In this case, the two push buttons are visible for the time being, but because they are in a hurry, they push the other push button by mistake.

本発明は上記の従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、複数のレバーハンドルの各操作部をそれぞれ独立して上下移動操作することで、対応する吐水部における吐水、止水の操作を簡単な操作で確実にでき、また、複数の吐水部のうちある吐水部が吐水で他の吐水部が止水となっている状態において、吐水中の吐水部を止水にする操作をする際、あやまって、他の吐水部から吐水されるというような誤操作を防止でき、また、全ての吐水部が止水となっている状態、すべての吐水部が全開している状態がどの方向から見ても明確に確認でき、また、複数の操作部を手探りで探して目的とする操作部を上方又は下方に移動操作するに当たって、目的とする操作部を簡単に確認して誤操作を無くすことができる水栓装置を提供することを課題とするものである。 The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and operates each of the operation portions of the plurality of lever handles to move up and down independently, thereby discharging water and stopping water in the corresponding water discharge portion. In a state where one of the plurality of water discharge units is water discharge and the other water discharge unit is water stop, an operation to turn off the water discharge unit in the water discharge is performed. In such a case, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such that the water is discharged from another water discharge part, and the state in which all the water discharge parts are stopped and the state in which all the water discharge parts are fully open is from which direction. It can be clearly confirmed even by looking at it, and it is possible to easily check the target operation unit and eliminate erroneous operations when moving the target operation unit upward or downward by searching for multiple operation units. To provide a faucet device that can It is an.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る水栓装置は、複数の吐水部２からの吐水及び吐水停止をそれぞれ独立して行うための複数の弁手段７と、該複数の弁手段７をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための複数のレバーハンドル３とを備えた水栓装置６であって、複数のレバーハンドル３にそれぞれ前方に向けて突出する同じ断面形状の操作部４を設け、各操作部４はそれぞれ上面側が押し下げ用の操作部４ａ、下面側が押し上げ用の操作部４ｂとなり、且つ、各操作部４はいずれも押し上げ・押し下げ操作のみが可能なように上下方向にのみ可動自在となり、各レバーハンドル３はいずれも操作部４を上に上げた状態又は下に下げた状態の一方がそれぞれ対応する弁手段７がいずれも開で、他方がいずれも閉となり、且つ、各操作部４の全開位置Ａの姿勢がそれぞれ同じで各操作部４の閉位置Ｂの姿勢がそれぞれ同じであり、前記複数のレバーハンドル３の操作部４が横方向に連続するよう並設され、前記押し下げ用の操作部４ａおよび前記押し上げ用の操作部４ｂのうちのいずれか又は両方が、正面から見て、上方または下方に突曲しており、これにより、各操作部４が全開位置の姿勢となるか又は各操作部４が閉位置の姿勢となると、隣り合う操作部４の境界部分が凹状または凸状に形成されるものであることを特徴とするものである。 In order to solve the above-described problem, the water faucet device according to the present invention includes a plurality of valve means 7 for independently performing water discharge and water discharge stop from the plurality of water discharge sections 2, and the plurality of valve means 7 respectively. A water faucet device 6 having a plurality of lever handles 3 for independent opening and closing operations, each of which is provided with an operation section 4 having the same cross-sectional shape protruding forward. Each of the parts 4 has an operation part 4a for pushing down on the upper surface side and an operation part 4b for pushing up on the lower surface side, and each operation part 4 is movable only in the vertical direction so that only the pushing and pushing operations can be performed. In each lever handle 3, the valve means 7 corresponding to one of the state in which the operation unit 4 is raised or lowered is open, the other is closed, and the operation unit 4 is closed. Fully open The postures of the devices A are the same, and the postures of the closed positions B of the respective operation units 4 are the same, and the operation units 4 of the plurality of lever handles 3 are arranged side by side so as to be continuous in the lateral direction, Either or both of the portion 4a and the push-up operation portion 4b are bent upward or downward as viewed from the front , whereby each operation portion 4 is in the fully open position or When each operation unit 4 is in the closed position, the boundary portion between adjacent operation units 4 is formed in a concave shape or a convex shape .

このような構成とすることで、水栓装置６に設けた複数のレバーハンドル３はいずれも前方に向けて突出した各操作部４を押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作するだけで簡単な操作で各吐水部２からの吐水、止水を独立して行うことができると共に、前方に向けて突出した各操作部４はいずれも押し下げ操作と押し上げ操作が反対方向の操作であるため、手探りであっても前方に向けて突出した操作部４に手を添えて簡単に上下移動操作できると共に直接目で確認しなくて手探りで行っても操作に誤りがない。 By adopting such a configuration, each of the plurality of lever handles 3 provided in the faucet device 6 can be easily operated by simply pushing up and pushing down the operation parts 4 protruding forward. In addition to being able to perform water discharge and water stop independently from each other, the operation unit 4 protruding forward is an operation in which the push-down operation and the push-up operation are opposite directions. The operator can easily move up and down by putting his / her hand on the operation unit 4 projecting toward the head, and there is no error in operation even if he / she does not check directly with his eyes.

このため、複数の吐水部２がいずれも止水状態において、複数の吐水部２のうち一方から吐水させたり、あるいは他の吐水部２から吐水させたり、あるいは、複数の吐水部２から同時に吐水させたりする操作が簡単にできると共に、複数の吐水部２がいずれも吐水状態において、複数の吐水部２のうち一方を止水させたり、あるいは他の吐水部２を止水させたり、あるいは、複数の吐水部２を同時に止水させたりする操作が簡単にできる。特に、前方に向けて突出した各操作部の押し上げ操作と押し下げ操作とで開閉が決まっているので、例えば、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っているときや、洗顔している時のように、手探りでレバーハンドル３の前方に突出した操作部４を探して、操作する場合でも現在行おうとしている操作が開操作であるか、閉操作であるかを間違うことがない。 For this reason, when all of the plurality of water dischargers 2 are in a water-stopped state, water is discharged from one of the plurality of water dischargers 2, or water is discharged from another water discharger 2, or water is simultaneously discharged from the plurality of water dischargers 2. The operation can be easily performed, and when all of the plurality of water dischargers 2 are in a water discharge state, one of the plurality of water dischargers 2 is stopped, or the other water discharger 2 is stopped, or The operation of stopping the water discharge units 2 simultaneously can be easily performed. In particular, since the opening and closing of each operation part protruding toward the front is determined to open and close, for example, when washing your hair with a shampoo or washing your face, Even when the operation unit 4 protruding forward of the lever handle 3 is searched and operated, there is no mistake in whether the operation that is currently being performed is an open operation or a close operation.

また、例えば、一方の吐水部２（シャワー用吐水部）が止水で且つ他の吐水部（カラン用吐水部）が吐水の状態で、石鹸などで洗顔している時、他の吐水部における吐水を止めようとして、手探りで、他の操作部４（カラン用の操作部）を探して該他方の操作部４を止水側に操作する際、誤って一方の操作部４（シャワー用の操作部）側を止水側に操作しても、既に止水しているため、一方の吐水部２（シャワー用吐水部）から突然吐水されるというようなおそれがなく、また、一方の吐水部２（シャワー用吐水部）が吐水で且つ他の吐水部２（カラン用吐水部）が止水の状態で、シャンプーなどで洗髪している時、一方の吐水部における吐水を止めようとして、手探りで、一方の操作部４（シャワー用の操作部）を探して該一方の操作部４を止水側に操作する際、誤って他方の操作部４（カラン用の操作部）側を止水側に操作しても、既に止水しているため、他方の吐水部２（カラン用吐水部）から突然吐水されるというようなおそれがなく、このように、複数の操作部４を手探りで探して操作する際に、上記のような操作すべき操作部４を仮に間違えたとしても、操作部４の操作方向さえ間違っていなければ、手探りであっても予期していない吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがなく、安心して洗顔や洗髪ができる。 Also, for example, when one of the water discharger 2 (shower water discharger) is still water and the other water discharger (calant water discharger) is in the state of water discharge and is washed with soap or the like, in the other water discharger When trying to stop the water discharge, searching for another operation unit 4 (operation unit for currant) and operating the other operation unit 4 to the water stop side by mistake, one operation unit 4 (for shower) Even if the operation unit) side is operated to the water stop side, the water has already stopped, so there is no risk of sudden water discharge from one water discharge unit 2 (shower water discharge unit), and one water discharge When the part 2 (shower water discharge part) is water discharge and the other water discharge part 2 (calant water discharge part) is in a water-stopping state, when washing hair with shampoo or the like, trying to stop water discharge in one water discharge part, By searching for one operation unit 4 (shower operation unit), the one operation unit 4 is searched. When operating to the water stop side, even if the other operation unit 4 (operation unit for currant) is accidentally operated to the water stop side, the other water discharge unit 2 (calun discharge) is already stopped. In this way, when searching for and operating the plurality of operation units 4 by hand, even if the operation unit 4 to be operated is mistaken, If even the operation direction of the operation unit 4 is not wrong, even if groping, there will be no unexpected water discharge from the water discharge unit 2, and face washing and hair washing can be performed with peace of mind.

また、例えば、２つの吐水部２のうち、いずれか一方から湯水を吐水したまま放置して止水するのを忘れていたような時、一方の吐水部２から湯水が吐水しているのに気付き、あわてて一方の吐水部２側の操作部４を止水側に操作しようとする場合、あわてているので、誤って別の吐水部２の操作部４を止水側に操作しても、別の吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じない。 In addition, for example, when one of the two water dischargers 2 forgets to stop the water while discharging hot water from one of the two water dischargers 2, the water is discharged from one water discharger 2. If you notice and panic and try to operate the operation part 4 on the one water discharge part 2 side to the water stop side, since it is rushing, even if you accidentally operate the operation part 4 of another water discharge part 2 to the water stop side The situation where water is suddenly discharged from another water discharge unit 2 does not occur.

また、複数のレバーハンドル３にそれぞれ前方に向けて突出する同じ断面形状の操作部４を設け、各操作部４はそれぞれ上面側が押し下げ用の操作部４ａ、下面側が押し上げ用の操作部４ｂとなり、各操作部４の全開位置Ａの姿勢がそれぞれ同じで各操作部４の閉位置Ｂの姿勢がそれぞれ同じであるので、前方に突出した複数の操作部４がいずれも閉状態及び全開状態においては、複数の操作部４が上面側及び下面側のいずれにおいても、段差無く前方に突出している姿勢となり全ての吐水部が止水となっている状態、すべての吐水部が全開している状態がどの方向からみても明確に確認でき、また、前方に突出した複数の操作部４の上面の各押し下げ用の操作部４ａ、下面の各押し上げ用の操作部４ｂの掃除性が良い。 The plurality of lever handles 3 are each provided with an operation section 4 having the same cross-sectional shape protruding forward, and each operation section 4 has an operation section 4a for pushing down on the upper surface side and an operation section 4b for pushing up on the lower surface side. Since the postures of the operation portions 4 at the fully open position A are the same and the postures of the operation portions 4 are the same at the closed position B, the plurality of operation portions 4 protruding forward are all in the closed state and the fully open state. In addition, in any of the upper surface side and the lower surface side, the plurality of operation portions 4 are in a posture that protrudes forward without a step, all the water discharge portions are water-stopped, and all the water discharge portions are fully open. It can be clearly seen from any direction, and the cleanability of the push-down operation portions 4a on the upper surfaces of the operation portions 4 protruding forward and the push-up operation portions 4b on the lower surfaces is good.

また、複数のレバーハンドル３の各操作部４に微小な凸又は凹の立体表示８を設け、各操作部４毎に立体表示８を異ならせることが好ましい。 Moreover, it is preferable to provide a minute convex or concave three-dimensional display 8 on each operation unit 4 of the plurality of lever handles 3, and to make the three-dimensional display 8 different for each operation unit 4.

このような構成とすることで、上記のように複数の操作部４のうち目的とする操作部４を手探りで探すとき、各操作部４に設けた微小な凸又は凹の立体表示８を手指で触れて確認することで、簡単に手探りで目的とする操作部４を確認でき、これにより、探し当てた目的とする操作部４を上方に移動するか、下方に移動するかの操作をすることで、手探りであっても確実に目的とする吐水部２から吐水又は止水できる。 With such a configuration, when searching for the target operation unit 4 among the plurality of operation units 4 by hand as described above, the minute convex or concave three-dimensional display 8 provided in each operation unit 4 is displayed by fingers. By touching with and confirming, it is possible to easily confirm the target operation unit 4 by groping, and thereby, the operation unit 4 to be moved is moved upward or downward. Therefore, even if it is groping, it can discharge or stop water from the target water discharge part 2 reliably.

本発明の請求項１記載の発明にあっては、上記のように複数のレバーハンドルはいずれも前方に突出した操作部の押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作をするだけで簡単に各吐水部からの吐水、止水を独立して行うことができると共に、前方に突出した操作部の押し下げ操作と押し上げ操作は反対方向の操作であるため、手探りであっても前方に突出した操作部に手を添えて簡単に上下移動操作できると共に直接目で確認しなくて手探りで行っても確実に吐水、止水の操作ができ、特に、洗顔や洗髪中に複数の操作部を手探りで探して操作する際に、誤って目的の操作部とは別の操作部を操作したとしても、操作部の操作方向さえ間違っていなければ、手探りであっても予期していない吐水部から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがなく、安心して洗顔や洗髪ができ、この結果、複数の吐水部を備えた水栓装置において複数のレバーハンドルの操作が、前方に突出した操作部を上方又は下方に操作するだけで操作性よく且つ安全にできる。また、段差無く前方に突出している姿勢となり、全ての吐水部が止水となっている状態、すべての吐水部が全開している状態がどの方向から見ても明確に確認でき、また、前方に突出した複数の操作部の上面の各押し下げ用の操作部、下面の各押し上げ用の操作部の掃除性が良くなる。 In the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention, as described above, the plurality of lever handles can easily discharge water from each water discharge section by simply pushing up and pushing down the operation section protruding forward, The water can be stopped independently, and the push-down operation and push-up operation of the operation part protruding forward are operations in opposite directions, so even if you are groping, you can easily attach the hand to the operation part protruding forward It is possible to move up and down at the same time, and even if you do not check directly with your eyes, you can surely discharge water and stop water, especially when searching and operating multiple operation parts during face washing and hair washing, Even if you accidentally operate an operation unit that is different from the target operation unit, even if the operation direction of the operation unit is not wrong, there is a situation where water is suddenly discharged from an unexpected water discharge unit even if groping. Never happen Facial washing and hair washing can be performed with peace of mind. As a result, in a faucet device equipped with a plurality of water discharge sections, the operation of a plurality of lever handles is easy and safe by simply operating the operation section protruding forward or downward. Can be. In addition, it has a posture that protrudes forward without steps, and it can be clearly seen from any direction that all water discharge parts are stopped and all water discharge parts are fully open. The cleaning performance of each push-down operation section on the upper surface of each of the plurality of operation sections protruding to the bottom and each push-up operation section on the lower surface is improved.

また、請求項２記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項１記載に記載した発明の効果に加えて、複数の操作部のうち目的とする操作部を手探りで探すとき、各操作部に設けた微小な凸又は凹の立体表示を手指で触れて確認することで、簡単に手探りで目的とする操作部を確認して、探し当てた目的とする操作部を上方に移動するか、下方に移動するかの操作をすることで目的とする操作部を正しく操作することができ、誤操作を無くすことができる。 Further, in the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 above, when searching for a target operation unit among a plurality of operation units by searching, it is provided in each operation unit. By touching and confirming the minute convex or concave three-dimensional display with your fingers, you can easily check the target operation unit and move the found operation unit upward or downward By performing the operation, it is possible to correctly operate the target operation unit and to eliminate erroneous operations.

Each operation unit 4 is movable up and down so that it can be pushed up or down, and each operation unit 4 can be pushed up or down. By doing so, each lever handle 3 can be rotated around the axis of the cylindrical portion 20. There is no particular limitation on the rotation angle of the lever handle 3 when the operation unit 4 is pushed up or down, but a rotation range of 45 ° is taken as an example.

各レバーハンドル３の操作部４の後端に設けた覆い部２８によりカバー部１１の前面開口部３１を遮蔽するようになっており、これにより、レバーハンドル３を回動しても筒体部２０の前面が外部に露出することなく覆い部２８により覆われるようになっている。 The front opening 31 of the cover portion 11 is shielded by a cover portion 28 provided at the rear end of the operation portion 4 of each lever handle 3, so that even if the lever handle 3 is rotated, the cylinder portion The front surface of 20 is covered with the cover portion 28 without being exposed to the outside.

したがって、筒体部２０、操作部４の取付け部２７はカバー部１１及び覆い部２８に覆われて、この部分が施工状態において外部に露出しないようになっている。この結果、覆い部２８が筒体部２０の一部（前部）を覆う断熱カバーの役目を兼用し、カバー部１１による断熱のために覆う面積を少なくしてカバー部１１の材料を少なくできる。 Therefore, the cylinder part 20 and the attachment part 27 of the operation part 4 are covered with the cover part 11 and the cover part 28, and this part is not exposed outside in the construction state. As a result, the cover portion 28 also serves as a heat insulating cover that covers a part (front portion) of the cylindrical portion 20, and the area covered for heat insulation by the cover portion 11 can be reduced and the material of the cover portion 11 can be reduced. .

Therefore, it is possible to operate without error without directly checking with eyes.

このように、各操作部はいずれも押し上げ操作と押し下げ操作とで開閉が決まっていると共に、各操作部４に異なる立体表示８が設けてあるので、シャンプーなどで髪を洗っているときや、洗顔している時のように、水栓装置６を目で見ることなく、手探りで目的とするレバーハンドル３の操作部４を探して、操作する場合でも誤操作することがない。 In this way, each operation unit is determined to open and close by a push-up operation and a push-down operation, and since different three-dimensional displays 8 are provided in each operation unit 4, when washing hair with shampoo or the like, The operator does not misoperate even when searching for and operating the operation portion 4 of the intended lever handle 3 without looking at the faucet device 6 with his / her eyes as when washing the face.

ところで、例えば、シャワー吐水部２ｂが止水で且つカラン吐水部２ａが吐水の状態で、石鹸などで洗顔している時、カラン吐水部２ａを止水にしようとして、手探りで、カラン吐水部２ａ用の操作部４（カラン用の操作部）を探して止水操作をする際や、シャワー吐水部２ｂが吐水で且つカラン吐水部２ａが止水の状態で、シャンプーなどで洗髪している時、シャワー吐水部２ｂを止水にしようとして、手探りで、シャワー吐水部２ｂ用のシャワー用の操作部４を止水側に操作する際、上記のように操作部４に立体表示８に手指を触れることで目的とする操作部４を探すことで、目的とする操作部４を探すことができるようになっているが、立体表示８による区別を忘れていたり、あるいは、勘違いにより誤って目的でない操作部４を止水側に操作したとしても（前者においては誤ってシャワー用の操作部４を止水側に操作したとしても、後者においては誤ってカラン用の操作部４を止水側に操作したとしても）、目的としない吐水部２（前者においてはシャワー吐水部２ｂ、後者においてはカラン吐水部２ａ）が止水となっているので、目的としない吐水部２（前者においてはシャワー吐水部２ｂ、後者においてはカラン吐水部２ａ）から突然吐水されるというようなおそれがない。 By the way, for example, when the shower water spouting portion 2b is still water and the karan water spouting portion 2a is washing water with soap or the like, the karan water spouting portion 2a is searched by trying to stop the water flowing the karan water spouting portion 2a. When searching for the operation unit 4 (operation unit for currant) and performing a water stop operation, or when washing the hair with shampoo or the like while the shower water discharge unit 2b is water discharge and the water discharge unit 2a is water stop When the shower operation part 4 for the shower water discharge part 2b is operated to the water stop side in an attempt to stop the shower water discharge part 2b, a finger is put on the three-dimensional display 8 on the operation part 4 as described above. By searching for the target operation unit 4 by touching, it is possible to search for the target operation unit 4, but forgetting the distinction by the three-dimensional display 8, or mistakenly because of misunderstanding Stop operation part 4 Even if the operation part 4 for the shower is accidentally operated to the water stop side in the former, the operation part 4 for the curan is accidentally operated to the water stop side in the latter. Since the water discharge part 2 (in the former case, the shower water discharge part 2b, in the latter case, the water discharge part 2a) is stopped, the water discharge part 2 (the shower water discharge part 2b in the former case, the curan in the latter). There is no risk of sudden water discharge from the water discharge part 2a).

したがって、複数の操作部４を手探りで探して操作する際に、上記のような誤操作をしても、操作部４の操作方向さえ間違っていなければ、手探りであっても予期していない吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがなく、安心して洗顔や洗髪ができる。 Therefore, when searching for and operating a plurality of operation units 4 by hand search, even if the operation direction of the operation unit 4 is not wrong even if the above-described erroneous operation is performed, the water discharge unit which is not expected even by hand search No sudden water discharge from 2 will occur, and you can wash your face and hair with peace of mind.

また、例えば、２つの吐水部２のうち、いずれか一方から湯水を吐水したまま放置して止水するのを忘れていたような時、一方の吐水部２から湯水が吐水しているのに気付き、あわてて一方の吐水部２側の操作部４を止水側に操作しようとすることがあるが、この場合、あわてていて、誤って別の吐水部２の操作部４を止水側に操作しても、別の吐水部２から突然吐水されるというような事態が生じることがない。 In addition, for example, when one of the two water dischargers 2 forgets to stop the water while discharging hot water from one of the two water dischargers 2, the water is discharged from one water discharger 2. There is a case where the operator 4 on one side of the water discharger 2 is noticed and urged to try to operate the operation unit 4 on the water stop side. In this case, the operation unit 4 of another water discharger 2 is accidentally moved to the water stop side. Even if it operates to, the situation where water is suddenly discharged from another water discharging part 2 does not arise.

上記のように、各レバーハンドル３の操作部４の押し上げ操作、押し下げ操作により対向する各吐水部２からの吐水、止水を行うのであるが、各操作部４の上下方向への移動量を調整することで対応する各吐水部２から吐水する湯水の流量を同時に調整することができる。 As described above, water is discharged from each water discharger 2 and water is stopped by pushing up and down the operation part 4 of each lever handle 3, and the amount of movement of each operation part 4 in the vertical direction is set. By adjusting, the flow volume of the hot water discharged from each corresponding water discharging part 2 can be adjusted simultaneously.

したがって、本発明においては、複数の吐水部２に対応して、別部材としての複数の流量調整弁とこれを操作するための複数の操作部とを必要とせず、水栓装置６の小型化、部品点数の削減が可能となる。また、各操作部４の上下方向の移動のみで対応する吐水部２からの吐水、止水と流量調整とが同時にできるので、操作性が向上する。 Therefore, in the present invention, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of flow rate adjustment valves as separate members and a plurality of operation units for operating the same, corresponding to the plurality of water discharge units 2, and downsizing the faucet device 6. The number of parts can be reduced. Moreover, since the water discharge from the water discharge part 2 corresponding to only the movement of each operation part 4 to the up-down direction, water stop, and flow volume adjustment can be performed simultaneously, operativity improves.

しかも、上記複数のレバーハンドル３が湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８と別体なので、複数のレバーハンドル３をそれぞれ独立して操作する際、いずれのレバーハンドル３を操作する際も誤って湯温が変えられて高温の湯や低温の水が吐出する恐れがない。 In addition, since the plurality of lever handles 3 are separate from the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18, when the plurality of lever handles 3 are independently operated, the temperature of the hot water is mistakenly operated when any lever handle 3 is operated. There is no danger of hot or cold water being discharged.

本発明においては、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９の上面にも微小な凸又は凹の湯温調整用立体表示３７を設けてある。この湯温調整用立体表示３７は前述の複数のレバーハンドル３の各操作部４に設けた立体表示８とはいずれも異なっていて、手指で触れた際に上記した各表示部４の立体表示８と識別できるようになっている。したがって、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９を手探りで探す際に、複数のレバーハンドル３の各操作部４と正確に識別でき、湯温調整用の操作部１９を間違いなく探して湯温の調整ができる。 In the present invention, a minute convex or concave three-dimensional display 37 for adjusting the hot water temperature is also provided on the upper surface of the operating part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18. The three-dimensional display 37 for adjusting the hot water temperature is different from the three-dimensional display 8 provided on each operation unit 4 of the plurality of lever handles 3 described above, and the three-dimensional display of each display unit 4 described above when touched with a finger. 8 can be identified. Therefore, when searching the hot water temperature adjusting operation part 19 of the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18 by hand, it can be accurately identified from the respective operating parts 4 of the plurality of lever handles 3. You can definitely search and adjust the hot water temperature.

上記のように、複数の操作部４にそれぞれ異なる立体表示８を設けると共に、湯温調整用の操作部１９にこれらの立体表示８とは異なる湯温調整用立体表示３７が設けてあるので、操作部４と湯温調整用の操作部１９との間に介在されているダミー操作部３３の上面には専用の立体表示を設けなくても、手で触った際に、立体表示がないという手指の感触でダミー操作部３３であると確認できる。しかしながら、更により確実にダミー操作部３３を手指で触れた際に他の操作部と識別できるようにするために、図１５のようにダミー操作部３３の上面にも微小な凸又は凹のダミー用立体表示３８を設けてもよい。これにより、手探りで目的とする操作部４や湯温調整用の操作部１９を探す際に、手探りでダミー操作部３３と明確に識別でき、誤ってダミー操作部３３に操作のために力を加えるというようなことがない。 As described above, the three-dimensional display 8 different from each other is provided on the plurality of operation units 4, and the three-dimensional display 37 for adjusting the hot water temperature is provided on the operation unit 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature. Even if a dedicated 3D display is not provided on the upper surface of the dummy operation unit 33 interposed between the operation unit 4 and the operation unit 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature, there is no 3D display when touched by hand. It can be confirmed that it is the dummy operation unit 33 by the touch of a finger. However, in order to make it possible to distinguish the dummy operation unit 33 from other operation units when the dummy operation unit 33 is touched with fingers, the upper surface of the dummy operation unit 33 has a minute convex or concave dummy as shown in FIG. A stereoscopic display 38 may be provided. Thereby, when searching for the target operation unit 4 or the operation unit 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature by groping, the dummy operation unit 33 can be clearly identified by groping, and the dummy operation unit 33 is erroneously operated for operation. There is no such thing as adding.

また、図１乃至図５に示す実施形態では各操作部４を下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置）が閉位置Ｂで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置）が全開位置Ａとしてあるので、誤って、各操作部４に個別にあるいは同時に物が当たったりして上方から押し下げ力が作用しても、操作部４は元々閉位置にいるか、又は開位置にいても下方に押し下げられて閉位置となるので、複数の吐水部２から不意に吐水がするという恐れがない。また、この実施形態においては、閉位置Ｂがほぼ水平となっていてほぼ水平姿勢のダミー操作部３３と面一又はほぼ面一となっており、この場合は、水栓装置６の下方の空間を広く使え、特に、カラン吐水部２ａ側の吐水空間が広く且つ見やすくなり、操作部４を上方に押し上げてカラン吐水部２ａから吐水させ、このカラン吐水部２ａから吐水される湯水を使用する際に操作部４が邪魔にならならず、カラン吐水部２ａの使用が便利となる。 Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the position where the operation parts 4 are pushed down to the maximum (lowermost position) is the closed position B, and the position where each operation part 4 is pushed up (the uppermost position). Is in the fully open position A. Even if the operation unit 4 is accidentally hit with each operation unit 4 individually or at the same time, and the pressing force acts from above, the operation unit 4 is originally in the closed position or in the open position. However, since it is pushed down to the closed position, there is no fear that water is unexpectedly discharged from the plurality of water discharging portions 2. Further, in this embodiment, the closed position B is substantially horizontal and is flush with or substantially flush with the dummy operation portion 33 in a substantially horizontal posture. In this case, the space below the faucet device 6 In particular, when the water discharge space on the side of the water discharge portion 2a is wide and easy to see, the operation portion 4 is pushed upward to discharge water from the water discharge portion 2a, and hot water discharged from the water discharge portion 2a is used. In addition, the operation unit 4 does not get in the way, and the use of the currant water discharging unit 2a is convenient.

もちろん、本発明の水栓装置６において、図６に示す実施形態のように、各操作部４を下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置）が全開位置Ａで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置）が閉位置Ｂとしてもよいものである。この場合は、例えば、閉位置Ｂがほぼ水平となっていてほぼ水平姿勢のダミー操作部３３と面一又はほぼ面一となっていると、水栓装置６の上方の空間に操作部４が突出せず、この部分を操作部４に邪魔されず、別の用途に使用したり、広い空間として利用できる。 Of course, in the water faucet device 6 of the present invention, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the position where the operation parts 4 are pushed down to the maximum (lowermost position) is the fully open position A, and each operation part 4 is at the maximum. The position pushed up to the uppermost position (uppermost position) may be the closed position B. In this case, for example, when the closed position B is substantially horizontal and is substantially flush with or substantially flush with the dummy operation part 33 in a substantially horizontal posture, the operation part 4 is located in the space above the faucet device 6. It does not protrude, and this portion is not obstructed by the operation unit 4 and can be used for another purpose or used as a wide space.

図７乃至図１３は本発明の他の実施形態が示してある。本実施形態においては、カウンター本体４０の下面部に前述の水栓装置６を配設して取付けた水栓装置付きカウンター４１が示してある。本実施形態においては、水栓装置６の大部分はカウンター本体４０の下面側に沿って配設されることでカウンター本体４０により隠されるようになっているが、水栓装置６の複数のレバーハンドル３の各操作部４、ダミー操作部３３、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９がカウンター本体４０の前端から前方に突出している。 7 to 13 show another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, there is shown a counter 41 with a faucet device in which the faucet device 6 is disposed and attached to the lower surface of the counter body 40. In the present embodiment, most of the faucet device 6 is arranged along the lower surface side of the counter body 40 so as to be hidden by the counter body 40. However, a plurality of levers of the faucet device 6 are used. Each operation portion 4 of the handle 3, the dummy operation portion 33, and the operation portion 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18 protrude forward from the front end of the counter body 40.

そして、複数のレバーハンドル３の各操作部４、ダミー操作部３３、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９がいずれも略平板状をし、更に、ダミー操作部３３が水平又は略水平となっていて、各操作部４が全て閉状態で水平又は略水平姿勢となると共に、湯温調整用レバーハンドル１８の湯温調整用の操作部１９が略４０℃の位置で略水平姿勢となるように設定しておくと、略平板状の各操作部４、略平板状のダミー操作部３３、略平板状の湯温調整用の操作部１９が面一に連続した全体として一連の水平な板状物のような外観となり、図７（ａ）のように、板状のカウンター本体４０の前端部の下端縁から前方に全体として一連の水平な板状物（操作部）が突出している外観となり、統一感があり、外観がよくなる。 Each of the operation parts 4 of the plurality of lever handles 3, the dummy operation part 33, and the operation part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the lever handle 18 for adjusting the hot water temperature have a substantially flat plate shape. It is horizontal or substantially horizontal, and all the operation parts 4 are in the closed state or become horizontal or substantially horizontal, and the operation part 19 for adjusting the hot water temperature of the hot water temperature adjusting lever handle 18 is at a position of approximately 40 ° C. When set so as to be in a substantially horizontal posture, each of the substantially flat operation parts 4, the substantially flat dummy operation part 33, and the substantially flat hot water temperature adjusting operation part 19 are continuously arranged on the same plane. As shown in FIG. 7A, a series of horizontal plate-like objects (operation unit) as a whole from the lower end edge of the front end portion of the plate-like counter body 40 as shown in FIG. ) Has a protruding appearance, there is a sense of unity, and the appearance is improved.

図７乃至図１３に示す実施形態においては、カウンター本体４０の下面部に前述の水栓装置６を配設して取付けた水栓装置付きカウンター４１において、各操作部４は、下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置）が閉位置Ｂで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置）が全開位置Ａとしてあるが、図１４のように各操作部４を下方に最大に押し下げた位置（最下端位置）が全開位置Ａで、各操作部４を最大に押し上げた位置（最上端位置）が閉位置Ｂとしてもよいものである。 In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 13, in the counter 41 with a faucet device in which the faucet device 6 is disposed and attached to the lower surface portion of the counter body 40, each operation portion 4 is maximally downward. The depressed position (lowermost position) is the closed position B, and the position (uppermost position) where each operation unit 4 is pushed up to the maximum is the fully open position A. However, as shown in FIG. The position (the lowest end position) pushed down to the fully open position A may be the fully open position A, and the position (uppermost end position) where each operation unit 4 is pushed up to the maximum may be the closed position B.

なお、上記した各実施形態においては、ダミー操作部３３を設けた例を示したが、ダミー操作部３３を設けないものであってもよい。 In each of the above-described embodiments, the example in which the dummy operation unit 33 is provided has been described. However, the dummy operation unit 33 may not be provided.

また、上記した各実施形態では２つの吐水部２のうち一方をカラン吐水部２ａ、他方をシャワー吐水部２ｂとした例を示したが、両方ともカラン吐水部２ａであってもよい。 In each of the above-described embodiments, an example in which one of the two water discharge units 2 is the curan water discharge unit 2a and the other is the shower water discharge unit 2b is shown, but both may be the curan water discharge unit 2a.

また、上記各実施形態では、２つの吐水部２からの吐水及び吐水停止をそれぞれ独立して行うための２つの弁手段７と、該２つの弁手段７をそれぞれ独立して開閉操作するための２つのレバーハンドル３とを備えた水栓装置６の例で説明したが、吐水部２が３つ以上、弁手段７が３つ以上、レバーハンドル３が３つ以上であってもよい。 Moreover, in each said embodiment, the two valve means 7 for performing the water discharge from two water discharge parts 2 and a water discharge stop each independently, and for opening and closing these two valve means 7 each independently Although the example of the faucet device 6 including the two lever handles 3 has been described, three or more water dischargers 2, three or more valve means 7, and three or more lever handles 3 may be used.

なお、本発明の水栓装置においては、複数のレバーハンドル３にそれぞれ上側が押し下げ用の操作部４ａ、下側が押し上げ用の操作部４ｂとなった同じ断面形状の操作部４を設け、該操作部４は押し上げ・押し下げ操作のみが可能なように上下方向にのみ可動自在となり、各レバーハンドル３はそれぞれ操作部４を上に上げた状態又は下に下げた状態の一方が対応する弁手段７の開で他方が閉となり、各操作部４の全開位置Ａの姿勢がそれぞれ同じで各操作部４の閉位置Ｂの姿勢がそれぞれ同じであれば、複数の操作部４は図に示す実施形態のように横方向に並設したものにのみ限定されず、水栓装置６の異なる位置に複数の操作部４を離して配置してもよい。 In the faucet device of the present invention, the plurality of lever handles 3 are each provided with the operation section 4 having the same cross-sectional shape with the upper operation section 4a on the upper side and the lower operation section 4b on the lower side. The portion 4 is movable only in the vertical direction so that only the push-up and push-down operations are possible, and each lever handle 3 has a valve means 7 corresponding to either the state in which the operation portion 4 is raised or lowered. If the other is closed and the posture of each operation unit 4 is the same in the fully open position A and the posture of each operation unit 4 is the same in the closed position B, the plurality of operation units 4 are the embodiments shown in the drawings. Thus, it is not limited only to those arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of operation parts 4 may be arranged separately at different positions of the faucet device 6.
