Connect and use.

The hot water mixed in the hot water mixing faucet 2 passes through the hose 9 to the hot water spouting part 5 provided in the spouting unit 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. In addition, the hot water spouting part 5
Since it 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 cleaning. Moreover, since it is supported in this way, there is no need to limit conditions such as weight and size of the hot water spouting part 5.
These can be set freely to a certain extent, and therefore, the hot water spouting section 5 can spray hot water widely in the vertical and horizontal directions as described above, making it possible to perform hair washing etc. well, and as will be described later. It is possible to effectively clean pets such as pets. The hot water spouting section 5 can be configured to have a wide width in the vertical and horizontal directions, or can be constructed from a plurality of hot water jet bodies, so that hot water can be jetted widely in the vertical and horizontal directions. In the above usage, the temperature of the hot water spouted from the hot water spouting part 5 is detected by the temperature sensor 6 installed in the hot water spouting part 5 at a position just before the spouting, and is displayed on the display part 7, so that there is no possibility of accidentally It is possible to prevent the body from being exposed to hot water.

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 to the hot water mixing faucet 2. Therefore, instead of a faucet, a hand-held shower head 14 can be connected to the hot water mixing faucet 2 via the hose 13. By switching between this hand-held shower head 14 and the hot water spouting section 5 of the spouting section body 3 as necessary, more diverse uses can be achieved. For example, when the device of the present invention is used as a washing device for pets, the hot water spouting section 5 can be used to support the pet with both hands while allowing the pet to be sufficiently washed by spraying hot water widely. In addition, by using the hand-held shower head 14, even areas that cannot be properly sprayed with hot water by the hot water spouting part 5 can be washed by applying hot water in a fine manner. Of course, the hot water mixing faucet 2
Instead of the hand-held shower head 14, a faucet can be provided.

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 configured as a container that operably houses the two hot and cold water mixing faucets 2, the hot and cold water mixing faucet 2 and the hose 9 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 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 the discharge amount 351i can be manually adjusted using these valves, or the hot water temperature and the discharge amount can be manually adjusted using the respective valves. The hot water mixing faucet 2 in the illustrated embodiment adjusts the hot water temperature using the hot water temperature adjustment knob 18, and also has the above-mentioned hand-held shower head 14 and the hot water spouting part 5 of the spouting part body 3. The configuration is such that the discharge amount is adjusted by a switching lever 19 for switching accordingly. 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. It constitutes an opening 20.21 through which the .

(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 a rotational range from an upright state to a tilted state, and Adjust the angle as appropriate depending on your preference and needs, and use both hands to wash your hair and other things in a stable manner while checking the temperature of the water being spouted in advance.
The effect is that it can be done safely. Furthermore, if the spouting part body is supported in a position where the hot water spouting part is in a substantially horizontal state, the hot water will be spouted directly below from the hot water spouting part at a position apart from the wall surface, so that the faucet can be used. Similarly, you can place a washbasin directly below it and supply hot water inside it.
Therefore, since a faucet [ ] is not essential to the hot water mixing faucet, a hand-held shower head can be connected via a hose instead of such a faucet, and in this case, this hand-held shower head and the spout The present invention has the effect of enabling more diverse uses by switching the hot water spouting portion of the device body as necessary. For example, this ejection part body.

Since the protrusion is small in proximity to the wall of the bathroom, it does not get in the way, and can be stored in a stored state. Since the present invention is as described above, it can be installed on the wall surface of a bathroom etc. and can be used for human use for washing hair etc.
It can also be configured as a cleaning device for pets such as dogs9.
