Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a single-lever type mixed faucet, and more particularly to a technical means for preventing erroneous operation.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 A single-lever type mixed faucet is widely used in which water is discharged, water is stopped, the amount of water is adjusted, and the temperature is adjusted by rotating the operation lever.

A single-lever type mixed faucet of this kind is generally used in a form shown in FIG. 4 (A), that is, a form in which an operating lever 102 is arranged above the faucet body 100. Is.

In the case of the mixed faucet of this form, usually, the vertical movement of the operating lever 102 is used to perform water discharge, water stoppage, and water amount adjustment, and the horizontal adjustment is used to perform temperature adjustment. It has become.

By the way, as a single-lever type mixed faucet, as shown in FIG. 4B, a faucet body 104 has a lateral cylindrical protruding portion 106, and an operating lever 108 is provided at the tip of the protruding portion 106. There is a form provided with.

In the water faucet of this embodiment, water is discharged, water is stopped and the amount of water is adjusted by rotating the operation lever 108 in the left-right direction, and temperature is adjusted by rotating the operation in the up-down direction.

However, in the case of this faucet, the operating direction of the lever for spouting, stopping the water and adjusting the amount of water, or the operating direction of the lever for adjusting the temperature is different by 90 degrees from that of the form shown in FIG. 4 (A). Therefore, there is a problem that such a faucet is apt to be erroneously operated when operating the lever.

[0008] For example, the lever may be rotated in the vertical direction with the intention of performing water discharge and water stop, or the lever may be rotated in the horizontal direction for the purpose of temperature adjustment.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The faucet of the present invention was devised to solve such a problem, and its gist is that the faucet body has a laterally protruding portion, and an operating lever is provided at the tip of the protruding portion. A single-lever type mixed faucet in the form provided, in which water is sprayed, water is stopped and the amount of water is adjusted by rotating the operating lever in the upward and downward directions, and temperature is adjusted by rotating the operating lever in the left-right direction. Is to be done.

[0010]

[Action and effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the faucet body has the laterally protruding portion, and the operating lever is provided at the tip of the protruding portion. It is the same as the vertical type of faucet, that is, the operation lever is provided above the faucet body.

With this configuration, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation when performing water discharge, water stoppage, temperature adjustment, etc. by operating the operation lever. Therefore, for example, if the user intends to perform water discharge, water stop, etc., the lever is turned up and down to position the lever on the high temperature side, and in that state, the lever is turned left and right to discharge hot water unexpectedly. It is possible to avoid such a situation.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a single-lever type mixed faucet having a faucet body 12, and the faucet body 12 is provided so as to stand up from a mounting surface 14.

A water discharge port 16 extends obliquely upward from the upper end of the faucet body 12. In this example, the water discharge port 16 is composed of a main body pipe 18 and a water discharge head 20, the main body pipe 18 is expandable and contractable in the axial direction, and the water discharge head 20 is rotatably attached to the tip of the main body pipe 18. It is connected. However, it is of course possible that the water discharge port 16 has a different form.

The faucet body 12 has a laterally-projecting portion 22 in a horizontal direction, that is, parallel to the mounting surface 14, and a cap 24 is provided at the tip, specifically, the side surface of the projecting portion 22. ing.

An operating lever 26 extends forward from the cap 24, and water is discharged, water is stopped, the amount of water is adjusted, and the temperature is adjusted by operating the operating lever 26.

The water faucet 10 of this embodiment is adapted to perform water discharge, water stoppage, and water amount adjustment by turning the operation lever 26 in the up-down direction, and temperature adjustment by turning operation in the left-right direction. ..

Therefore, the faucet 10 of this example has the same form as the faucet shown in FIG. 4B, that is, a form in which an operating lever is provided at the laterally protruding portion of the faucet body. Nevertheless, the operating direction of the operating lever 26 is the same as that of the conventional general single lever type mixed faucet shown in FIG. 4 (A).

Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of the operating lever 26, avoid the danger of unexpectedly producing hot water, and it is not necessary to consider the operating direction when operating the lever, so that the faucet is easy to use. Becomes

The present invention can be applied to the form in which the operation lever 28 is arranged on the upper surface of the laterally projecting portion 30 of the faucet body as shown in FIG. The invention can be applied to a water faucet for any purpose, and various modifications can be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
