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 is equipped with a faucet at the hot water mixing faucet, connects a hand-held shower head via a water hose, and switches between these to enable the flow from the faucet to the washbasin, etc. It is configured to supply hot water and spray hot water onto the body from the shower head. Shower heads are used while being held in the hand, or supported on metal fittings mounted on the bathroom wall. Furthermore, when washing the hair of a head or a pet, drying of the hair is performed elsewhere using a hair dryer.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the former state of use, both hands cannot be used for cleaning, and in the latter state of use, the direction of the jet is not stable due to twisting of the hose, etc., and the angle of the jet cannot be adjusted. Nor can it be adjusted appropriately. In addition, hand-held shower heads 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.

Furthermore, since the washed hair is dried using a dryer in another location, water is scattered in locations other than the bathroom when drying pet hair.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Means for solving the problems described above will be explained with reference to drawings showing embodiments. A spouting part body 3 is rotatably supported from an upright state to a tilted state by a mounting member 4 in the vicinity of the hot water mixing faucet part 2, and is configured to be supportable at an appropriate position within the rotation range. The vessel body 3 is provided with a hot water spouting part 5 capable of spouting hot water widely in the vertical and horizontal directions and a hot air spouting part 6 on the front side in the upright state, and the hot water spouting part 5 and the hot water mixing faucet part are provided. 2 is connected with a water hose 7, and a hot air generator 8 is installed at a suitable location with the hot air blowing section 6.
are connected with a warm air hose 9.

In the above configuration, the hot water spouting section 5 may be configured to have a wide width in the vertical and horizontal directions, or may be constructed from a plurality of hot water spouting bodies 5a and 5b, etc., as long as the hot water can be spouted widely in the vertical and horizontal directions. It is.

The ejection part body 3 includes an engagement body 11 configured on one side of the mounting member 4 or the ejection part body 3 and capable of being elastically protruded by a spring 10, and an engagement recess 12 formed on the other side. In addition to being configured so that it can be supported at an appropriate position within the rotation range by a positioning mechanism such as a configuration provided with the You can also do it.

Further, the switch 13 for operating the hot air generator 8 can be provided at a suitable location together with the hot air generator 8, but it is preferable to provide it at the upper part of the blowing unit body 3 for reasons described later.

In addition to the above-mentioned hot water spouting part 5, the hot water mixing faucet part 2 also includes:
A hand-held shower head 15 may be connected via a water hose 14, or a faucet may be provided.

(Operation and Examples) In the hot water mixing and spouting device of the present invention, 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 16 etc., and the hot water mixing faucet 2 is connected to the predetermined hot water supply pipe 17 and the water supply pipe. 18
Connect and use.

The hot water mixed in the hot water mixing faucet 2 passes through the water hose 7 to reach the hot water spouting part 5 provided in the spouting part body 3, and is spouted from there. At this time, since the spouting unit body 3 is configured to be supported at an appropriate position within the rotation range from an upright state to a tilted state, the spouting angle of hot water can be adjusted appropriately by supporting it at a desired position. Moreover, since the hot water spouting part 5 is 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. In addition, since it is supported in this way, there is no need to limit the conditions such as weight and size of the hot water spouting part 5, and these can be set freely to a certain extent. can be ejected widely in the vertical and horizontal directions, making it possible to wash hair well and also to wash pets such as dogs as will be described later. If the hot water spouting part 5 is configured to be able to spout hot water widely in the vertical and horizontal directions, it may be constructed integrally with a wide width in the vertical and horizontal directions, or it can be formed by a plurality of hot water jetting bodies 5a, 5b.
It may be configured as appropriate.

Next, if the spouting part body 3 is supported in a position where the hot water spouting part 5 is in a substantially horizontal state, the hot water will be spouted directly below from the hot water spouting part 5 at a position away from the wall surface 1. You can place a washbasin directly below it and supply hot water in the same way as when using it.

Therefore, a faucet is not essential for the hot water mixing faucet section 2.

Therefore, instead of a faucet, a hand-held shower head 15 can be connected to the hot water mixing faucet 2 via a water hose 14. In this case, the hand-held shower head 15
By switching between the hot water spouting part 5 of the spouting part body 3 and the hot water spouting part 5 of the spouting part body 3 as necessary, more diverse uses can be performed.

For example, when the device of the present invention is used as a cleaning device for pets, by using the hot water spouting section 5, it is possible to perform sufficient cleaning with a wide jet of hot water while using both hands to support the pet. In addition, by using the hand-held shower head 15, it is possible to wash areas that cannot be properly sprayed with hot water using the hot water spouting section 5 by applying hot water in a fine manner. Of course, instead of the hand-held shower head 15, a faucet can be provided in the hot water mixing faucet 2.

After washing your body and pet with the above operations, stop the spouting of hot water, then turn on the switch 13 to operate the hot air generator 8, and hot air will be spouted from the hot air jetting section 6. The hair and pet hair that has been washed in this way can be dried on-site. Even in such use.

By supporting the blowing unit body 3 at a desired position within a rotational range from an upright state to a tilted state, the blowing angle of hot air can be adjusted as appropriate. The switch 13 can be provided at any suitable location, but if it is provided at the upper part of the ejection device body 3, it will not only be easier to operate, but will also be less likely to be directly exposed to hot water.

Next, if the spouting part body 3 is supported in an upright state, the spouting part body 3 will be close to the bathroom wall 1 and its protruding dimension will be small, so it will not get in the way, that is, it can be stored. can. In particular, as shown in the illustrated example, if the mounting member 4 is constructed as a container that operably houses the hot and cold water mixing faucet 2, the hot and cold water mixing faucet 2, water hose 7, and hot air hose 9 can be stored in this container. The aesthetic appearance is further improved because it can be made into a state.

In addition, the hot water mixing faucet 2 applied to the present invention may be configured such that the water temperature can be automatically adjusted to a set temperature using a heat-sensitive element such as a thermostat, or may be provided with a regulating valve on each of the hot water side and the cold water side. The water temperature and discharge rate can be adjusted as appropriate, such as by manually adjusting the hot water temperature and discharge rate using these valves, or by manually adjusting the hot water temperature and discharge rate by using individual valves. The hot water mixing faucet 2 in this embodiment adjusts the hot water temperature using a hot water temperature adjustment knob 19, and also controls the above-mentioned hand-held shower head 15 and the hot water spouting portion 5 of the spouting device body 3 as necessary. The discharge amount is adjusted by a switching lever 20 for switching. In addition, in the embodiment, a hot water mixing faucet 2 having such a configuration is described.
In order to operably accommodate the water temperature adjustment knob and the switching lever, openings 21 and 22 are formed on the side and front sides of the mounting member 4, which is configured as a container, from which the hot water temperature adjustment knob and the switching lever project.

(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 the hot water spouting part at an appropriate position in the rotation range from an upright state to a tilted state, and hot water is spouted vertically and horizontally. Since it is possible to spray a wide range of hot water, you can adjust the spouting angle of hot water as appropriate according to your preference and needs, and the 111 wide jet of hot water allows you to stably wash your hair and other tasks using both hands. be. Furthermore, if the spouting part body is supported in a position where the hot water spouting part is in a substantially horizontal state, hot water will be spouted directly below from the hot water spouting part at a position away from the wall surface, making it easier to use the faucet. Similarly, hot water can be supplied by placing a washbasin directly below 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, the hand-held shower head and the hot water spouting section of the spouting device body can be switched as needed, resulting in a more diverse range of uses.

Furthermore, since the present invention is configured to be able to eject hot air from the ejection unit body, the ejection angle can be appropriately adjusted to eject the hot air in the same way as hot water is ejected. The hair and pet hair that has been washed in this way can be dried on the spot, and especially when drying pet hair, there is no problem with splashing water, or a dryer can be brought from a separate room. It has the effect of requiring no effort. Furthermore, the present invention provides that if the above-mentioned jetting device body is supported in an upright state, this jetting device body will be close to the wall surface of the bathroom and its protruding dimension will be small, so that it will not be an obstacle, that is, it can be stored. It has the effect of being able to Since the present invention is as described above, it can be installed on the wall of a bathroom or the like to effectively wash hair for humans, and is also ideal as a cleaning device for pets such as dogs.
