2. Description of the Related Art A conventional faucet such as a sink is attached to a flat surface portion or a wall surface portion in the back of a sink, and its water discharge range is limited to a rotational movement range around the attachment portion.

For this reason, the range in which water can be directly supplied from the faucet is limited to the above range, which is extremely inconvenient when supplying water to cooking equipment or cleaning the inside of a sink.

As a countermeasure against this, for example, the actual Kaihei 1-98
No. 267 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-293237,
A faucet structure that is slidable in the width direction of the sink has been proposed. By this, the water discharge range is expanded and the usability of the faucet is dramatically improved.

However, in any of the above publications, although the water discharge range in the width direction can be greatly expanded,
The longitudinal extent of the sink is still limited to the pivot range of the faucet.

[0006]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to further expand the water discharge range of the faucet to improve the convenience of use of the faucet.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the sink device of the present invention comprises a water faucet body provided with a flexible hose having a water discharger at its tip and provided upright at one end on the back side of the water tank. , A pillar is projected from the other end on the back side of the water tank,
A slide bar is bridged between the faucet body and the column, and a locking tool for slidably and detachably supporting the water discharge tool on the slide bar is provided.

[0008] Here, two slide bars may be arranged substantially in parallel, and the gap between the two slide bars may be a mounting surface of the flexible hose when the water discharger is pulled out.

[0009]

In the present invention, the slide bar is bridged over the inner side of the water tank, and the water discharger which can be drawn out is slidably and detachably supported on the slide bar, so that the movement of the water tank in the width direction is performed by the slide bar. Do it in a supported state,
When the water spouting tool on the front side of the water tank is used outside the water spouting tool range, the water spouting tool can be detached from the slide bar and used.

A water faucet body 3 having an operating lever 3a is provided on the right protruding portion 2a, and a cylindrical column 4 having the same diameter as the water faucet body 3 is protrudingly provided on the other left protruding portion 2b.

Further, parallel slide bars 5 and 6 made of stainless steel are bridged between the faucet body 3 and the cylindrical support 4, and the hand shower 7 is slidable and detachable on the slide bars 5 and 6. Supported as possible. In addition, a flexible hose 8 that penetrates the faucet body 3 and is loosened in the floor cabinet and has one end connected to the faucet body 3 is connected to a base end portion of the hand shower 7.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a holder 9 which slidably and detachably supports the hand shower 7 on the slide bars 5 and 6, and FIG. 5 is a side view showing the hand shower 7 attached to the holder 9. is there.

As shown in the figure, the holder 9 is provided with a support portion 9a for detachably supporting the hand shower 7 on its upper portion, and a slide portion for gripping the slide bars 5 and 6 and slidably supporting it on the bottom portion. The moving part 9b is provided. This support 9a
Is rotatable with respect to the sliding portion 9b. Furthermore, the support portion 9
A mounting surface 9c of the inclined hand shower 7 and a supporting recess 9d of the flexible hose 8 are formed in a.

The structure of the holder is not limited to the above embodiment, and for example, the holder is integrally formed with the hand shower 7, and the holder is slidably and detachably supported on the slide bars 5 and 6. Can also be

Returning to FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 10 is a mesh basket which is locked by two slide bars 5 and 6 and which stores detergent, soap, sponge, scrubbing brush, etc., and is shown in the perspective view of FIG. As described above, the two hooks 10a and 10b attached to the upper part at different positions are provided.
a and 10b are hooked on the two slide bars 5 and 6, respectively.

In the above structure, when the faucet is not used, the hand shower 7 is moved up to the right ends of the slide bars 5 and 6 to store the flexible hose 8 in the faucet body 3,
At the time of use, the hand shower 7 is pulled out to a predetermined position and used as shown in FIGS. At that time, since the slide bars 5 and 6 are formed over substantially the entire width of the sink 1, the hand shower 7 can also be slid over the entire width of the sink 1, and the hand shower 7 is held in the holder 9. The range of water discharge is widened, and the usability of such a sink device is improved.

When the hand shower 7 is pulled out, the flexible hose 8 has two parallel slide bars 5 and 6.
Since it is accommodated so as to crawl in the space of, it is possible to prevent the flexible hose 8 from hanging down like a general hand shower. As a result, the flexible hose 8 that has been pulled out is prevented from twisting and the like, and when the flexible hose 8 is pushed into the faucet body 3 again, smooth storage becomes possible.

Further, when water is discharged to the front side of the sink 1 which is outside the water discharge range of the hand shower 7, by removing the hand shower 7 from the holder 9, the same use as a normal hand shower is possible.

FIG. 7 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the present invention. Incidentally, in this embodiment, those corresponding to the previous embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the flexible hose 8 is formed so as to be retractable from the opening 2c provided in the projecting portion 2a, and is connected to the faucet body 3 inside the floor cabinet.
