Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a single stopper that can be attached to a washbasin, hand basin, or the like.

(Prior Art) Usually, a washstand or the like and a valve provided adjacent thereto for supplying water or the like are often manufactured separately. In addition, in recent years, there are fewer valves that simply supply water or hot water (hereinafter referred to as single valves); instead, valves that mix water and hot water with a single valve (usually valves of this type) It is becoming possible to do this (also called a hot water mixer faucet). It is up to the user to decide whether to use such a single faucet or a mixed faucet for hot and cold water, but manufacturers of washstands and the like do not know which one will be used. In reality, conventional washstands and the like are designed and manufactured with the type of valve to be attached to them set in advance.

However, as mentioned above, it is up to the user to decide whether to use a single tap or a mixed tap for this type of valve, and various types of wash basins are available depending on the user's convenience. Preparing tables and the like in advance is not only quite difficult, but also requires extra expense. In other words, when manufacturing a washstand or the like, it is necessary to set the faucet in advance so that both a single faucet and a mixed faucet for hot water and cold water can be used in common.

In addition, single faucets and hot water mixed faucets are generally not compatible in terms of function or size, and the mounting holes in the washbasin to which they are installed are also different depending on each case. It is also common for them to be different. Therefore, if you prepare a washbasin with a mounting hole (generally large) for a hot and cold water mixing faucet, and you need to use a single faucet halfway through, you can use the mounting hole (generally small) for a single faucet. Either a separate washstand with a mounting hole for a single faucet must be prepared, but either way, it is a difficult task.

As a result of various studies to deal with this situation, the inventor found that if the valve is attached to the washbasin as a single valve, it can also be applied to hot and cold water mixing faucets, making it versatile. They newly discovered that it is possible to increase

(Problems to be solved by the invention) This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned actual situation, and the problem to be solved is the generality of the valve mounting structure in this type of washbasin etc. It is empty.

The purpose of this invention is to enable the installation of hot water and water mixtures without any special processing on the mounting hole by making it possible to install it in the mounting hole on the side of the washbasin etc. via a spacer. The object of the present invention is to provide a single stopper that can be installed in place of a stopper.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the means taken by the present invention are explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 corresponding to the embodiments. It is a single faucet 20 having a threaded conduit 21 that is attached to 10 mounting holes 12, and the outside of the conduit 31 houses two thin tubes 32 for separately feeding water and hot water of the hot and cold water mixing faucet 20. A single stopper 20 is characterized in that it has a spacer 24 which has the same outer diameter as the threaded conduit 21 and is screwed onto the outer periphery of the threaded conduit 21 and accommodated in the attachment hole 12.

That is, in the case of this single stopper 20, the conduit 21 is fixed in the mounting hole 12 on the side of the sink 10 through a spacer 24. In addition,
In the following explanation, the single tap 20 and the hot water mixed tap 30
When referring to the valves including the valves, they will be simply referred to as "valves".

(Aspects of operation and use of the invention) According to the single valve 20 according to the invention configured as described above, by applying it to the washstand 10 as follows, when the valve is attached to the washstand 10, Its versatility is increasing.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the valve is one that supplies only water or hot water, that is, the single tap 20 of the present invention, the conduit 2 of the single tap 20 is
1 is thin, so if it is fixed as is in the mounting hole 12 provided in the top plate 11 of the wash basin 10, it will be very unstable, but a spacer 24 is screwed onto the threaded part 22 of the conduit 21. This spacer 24 is fitted and housed in the mounting hole 12 of the top plate 11. Therefore, in this case, the conduit 2 of the single stopper 20
1 is securely fixed to the top plate 11 of the washstand 10 and is installed without forming a gap between the conduit 21 and the top plate 11 to prevent water etc. from entering the washstand 10. Nothing.

In addition, when the valve supports two thin tubes 32 for separately feeding water and hot water with a conduit 31, that is, when it is a hot water mixing faucet 30, this conduit 31 is connected to the top plate 11. For insertion into the mounting hole 12, the spacer 24 described above is not used. That is, when the valve is a hot water mixer faucet 30, there are two thin tubes 32, one for hot water and one for water. Spacers 24 are not used for insertion. Even if such an installation is performed, the conduit 31 of the hot water mixer faucet 30 is originally sized to correspond to the mounting hole 12 of the top plate 11, so the hot water mixer faucet 30 is attached to the sink 10. It is firmly fixed to the top plate 11.

In short, the single faucet 20 according to the present invention has a spacer 24 having an outer diameter that is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the conduit 31 of the hot water mixing faucet 30 that accommodates the two thin tubes 32. is installed in the mounting hole 12 of the washbasin 10 through the spacer 24. Therefore, even if the mounting hole 12 on the washstand 10 side is for the hot water mixer faucet 30, it will be sufficient to accommodate this. It's something you get. In other words, the single faucet 20 can be reliably installed in place of the hot and cold water mixing faucet 30 without making any changes to the mounting hole 12 on the washbasin 10 side, and is compatible with the hot and cold water mixing faucet 30. That's what I'm doing.

(Example) Next, the single stopper 20 according to the present invention will be described in detail based on a specific example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a single stopper 20 according to the present invention, and this single stopper 20 is formed on the top plate 11 of a washbasin 10 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is fixed in the mounting hole 12. The mounting holes 12 of the washbasin 10 are designed to accommodate various types of valves as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.

That is, the top plate 11 that constitutes the wash basin 10
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a mounting hole 12 is formed at a predetermined position of the mounting hole 12.
is formed to be large enough to be inserted through a conduit 31 of a hot and cold mixer faucet 30 having a thin tube 32 for separately feeding water and hot water. A conduit portion of the valve is inserted into this mounting hole 12, and this conduit portion is fixed to the top plate 11 with a nut or the like arranged below the mounting hole 12.

The single tap 20 according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is for supplying only water or hot water, and is a conduit 21 for housing and supporting a single thin tube for supplying only water or hot water. have. Therefore,
In this single faucet 20, the conduit 21 is connected to a hot water mixing faucet 3, which will be described later.
The spacer 24, which will be described later, is screwed into a threaded portion 22 formed on the outer periphery of the conduit 21.

The spacer 24 is connected to the mounting hole 1 formed in the top plate 11.
As shown in FIG. 1, it is formed into a disk shape corresponding to the mounting hole 12, and has a threaded portion 25 in the center thereof. A hole is formed.

The single stopper 20 shown in FIG. 1 is fixed to the top plate 11 side of the wash basin 10 as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the threaded part 22 of the conduit 21 constituting the single plug 20 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 from above the top plate 11, and the threaded part 22 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 from above the top plate 11.
The spacer 24 is screwed onto the spacer 24 from below with its threaded portion 25, and is fixed with a nut via a washer 23 or the like. By doing this, the conduit 21 of the single stopper 20 is securely fixed to the top plate 11 of the washstand 10, and can be installed without forming a gap between the conduit 21 and the top plate 11. This prevents water and the like from entering the washbasin 10.

On the other hand, the hot water mixing faucet 30 shown in FIG.
, which mixes and supplies water and hot water, has two thin tubes 32 for separately supplying water and hot water to the hot and cold mixing faucet 30, and a conduit 31 that accommodates these thin tubes 32. have. That is, the conduit 31 of the hot water mixing faucet 30 has an outer diameter that is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the mounting hole 12 of the washbasin 10, and has a threaded portion 2 formed in the conduit 21 of the single faucet 20.
It has approximately the same outer diameter as the outer diameter of the spacer 24 screwed onto the spacer 2.

The hot water mixer faucet 30 shown in FIG.
To fix it to the top plate 11 side of 0, it is done as shown in FIG. That is, the threaded portion 33 of the conduit 31 constituting the hot water mixing faucet 30 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 from above the top plate 11, and fixed to the threaded portion 33 from below with a washer or the like using a nut. That's what I do. In this case, something like the spacer 24 described above is not used at all. By doing this, the conduit 31 of the hot water mixer faucet 30 is securely fixed to the top plate 11 of the wash basin 10, and a gap is formed between the conduit 31 and the top plate 11. Therefore, there is no possibility that water or the like will enter the washbasin 10.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, the present invention is a single faucet 20 having a threaded conduit 21 that is attached to the mounting hole 12 of the washbasin 10, and which separates the water and hot water from the hot and cold mixer faucet 20. The spacer 24 has the same outer diameter as the outer diameter of the conduit 31 that accommodates the two thin tubes 32 for feeding the threaded conduit 21 and is screwed onto the outer periphery of the threaded conduit 21 and accommodated in the mounting hole 12. The feature is that the water mixer faucet 30
The single faucet 20 can be reliably supported and fixed to the mounting hole 12 on the washstand 10 side formed for the purpose, and can also ensure compatibility with the hot water mixer faucet 30 in terms of installation. This can be provided depending on the configuration.
