Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a hot water mixing and spouting device for bathrooms and the like.

(Prior art) A conventional hot water mixing and spouting device installed in a bathroom has a faucet attached to the hot water mixing faucet and a handheld shower head connected via a hose, and by switching between these, hot water can be supplied from the faucet to a washbasin, etc. It is constructed so that hot water is ejected from the shower head to the body. Shower heads are used by being held in the hand or supported by metal fittings installed on the bathroom wall.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the former state of use, both hands cannot be used for washing, and in the latter state of use, the direction of the jet is unstable due to twisting of the hose, etc. It is also not possible to adjust the angle appropriately. Furthermore, hand-held showerheads are limited in their shape, size, and weight, and it is difficult to configure them to spray hot water widely in the vertical and horizontal directions.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Means for solving the above-mentioned problems will be explained with reference to drawings showing embodiments. A spouting part body 3 is rotatably supported by a mounting member 4 in the vicinity of the mixing faucet part 2 from an upright state to a tilted state, and is configured to be supported at an appropriate position within the rotation range. 3 is provided with a pair of left and right hot water spouting parts 5a, 5b on the front side in the upright state, and is also provided with a switching valve 6 that can switch between independent operation and simultaneous operation. The inlet 7 and the hot water mixing faucet 2 are connected by a hose 8.

The ejection part body 3 includes an engagement body 10 that can be elastically protruded by a spring 9, which is formed on one side of the mounting member 4 or the ejection part body 3, and an engagement recess 11 formed on the other side. In addition to being configured so that it can be supported at an appropriate position in the rotation range by a positioning mechanism such as a configuration provided with a , it can also be configured to be supported at an appropriate position in the rotation range by manual operation such as tightening operation. .

Further, in addition to the hot water spouting parts 5a and 5b described above, the hot water mixing faucet 2 may be connected to a hand-held shower head 13 via a hose 12, or may be provided with a faucet.

(Function and Examples) In the above configuration, the hot water mixing and spouting device of the present invention has the mounting member 4 attached to the wall surface 1 of the bathroom etc. with screws 14 etc., and the hot water mixing faucet 2 is connected to the predetermined hot water supply pipe 15 and the water supply pipe. 16 is connected and used.

The hot water mixed in the hot water mixing faucet 2 passes from the hose 8 to the hot water spouting parts 5a and 5b via the switching valve 6 provided on the spouting part body 3, and is spouted from there. At this time, hot water can be spouted from either side of the hot water spouting parts 5a, 5b by operating the switching valve 6, or hot water can be spouted from both sides at the same time. It erupts widely in the vertical and horizontal directions.

Since the spouting unit body 3 is configured to be supported at an appropriate position within the rotation range from an upright position to a tilted position, the spouting angle of hot water can be adjusted appropriately by supporting it at a desired position. Moreover, since the hot water spouting parts 5a and 5b are supported by the mounting member 4 via the spouting part body 3, the spouting direction is stable, and both hands can be used for washing. Moreover, since it is supported in this manner, there is no need to limit conditions such as weight and size of the hot water spouting portion, and these can be set freely to a certain extent. Therefore, the hot water spouting parts are a pair of left and right hot water spouting parts 5a, 5b,
It is possible to adopt a configuration in which these switching valves 6 are provided, and therefore, as mentioned above, it is possible to spray hot water widely in the vertical and horizontal directions, and it is possible to perform hair washing etc. well, and also to wash the dog's hair as described later. It is possible to effectively clean pets such as

Next, if the spouting part body 3 is supported in a position where the hot water spouting parts 5a and 5b are in a substantially horizontal state, the hot water will flow to the hot water spouting part 5 at a position away from the wall surface 1.
Since hot water is ejected directly below from a and 5b, hot water can be supplied into a washbasin by placing it directly below it, similar to when using a faucet. Therefore, a faucet is not essential to the hot water mixing faucet section 2. Therefore, instead of a faucet, a hand-held shower head 13 can be connected to the hot water mixing faucet 2 via the hose 12. By switching the spouting portions 5a and 5b as necessary, more diverse uses can be achieved. For example, when the device of the present invention is used as a cleaning device for pets, the hot water spout 5
By spouting hot water from both sides of a and 5b at the same time, it is possible to perform sufficient cleaning with the wide jet of hot water while using both hands to support the pet. In No. 5, it is possible to apply hot water to fine grains of the wood to clean areas that cannot be properly applied with hot water. Of course, instead of the hand-held shower head 13, a faucet can be provided in the hot water mixing faucet 2.

Next, if the ejection part body 3 is supported in an upright state,
This ejection part vessel 3 is close to the bathroom wall 1 and has a small protruding dimension, so it does not get in the way, that is, it can be stored. In particular, as shown in the illustrated example, if the mounting member 4 is configured as a container that operably houses the hot water mixing faucet 2, the hot water mixing faucet 2 and the hose 8 can be housed in this container. Therefore, it has excellent aesthetic appearance.

In addition, the hot water mixing faucet 2 applied to the present invention has a structure in which the hot water temperature can be automatically adjusted to a set temperature using a heat sensitive element such as a thermostat, or has a regulating valve on each of the hot water side and the cold water side. It can be configured as appropriate, such as by providing a configuration in which the hot water temperature and discharge rate are manually adjusted using these valves, or a configuration in which the hot water temperature and discharge rate are manually adjusted using respective valves. . The hot water mixer faucet 2 in the illustrated embodiment adjusts the hot water temperature with a hot water temperature adjustment knob 17, and is also used as a hand-held shower head 13 as described above.
The discharge amount is adjusted by a switching lever 18 for switching the hot water spouting parts 5a, 5b of the spouting part body 3 as necessary. In addition, in the embodiment, in order to operable accommodate the hot water mixing faucet 2 having such a configuration, the mounting member 4 configured as a container is provided with the hot water temperature adjustment knob and a switching lever on the side and front sides, respectively. Openings 19, 20 that protrude
It consists of

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention provides a hot water spouting part in a spouting part body configured to be able to support it at an appropriate position in the rotation range from an upright state to a tilted state, and the hot water spouting part is It is configured as a pair of left and right, and can be operated independently or simultaneously using a switching valve, so you can adjust the spouting angle and spouting range as appropriate according to your preference or need, and you can spray hot water in a narrow area or have a sufficient discharge amount for a wide area. This has the effect of allowing you to stably wash your hair and perform other tasks using both hands. In addition, if the spout body is supported in a position where the hot water spout is in a substantially horizontal position, the hot water will spout directly below the hot water spout at a position away from the wall surface, so it can be used in the same way as using a faucet. A washbasin can be placed directly below and hot water can be supplied into it, and therefore a faucet is not essential for the hot water mixing faucet, so instead of such a faucet, a hand-held shower head can be connected via a hose. In this case, there is an effect that the handheld shower head and the hot water spouting part of the spouting part body can be switched as needed, allowing for more diverse uses. Furthermore, in the present invention, if the above-mentioned ejection part body is supported in an upright state,
Since the ejection part body is close to the wall surface of the bathroom and its protruding size is small, it does not get in the way, that is, it has the effect of being able to be stored. As described above, the present invention can be installed on the wall of a bathroom or the like to effectively wash hair for humans, and can also be configured as a cleaning device for pets such as dogs.
