Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hose-housing faucet, and more particularly to a hose-housing faucet having an improved water receiving member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a hose-housing type water faucet, as shown in FIG. 4, a water discharge head 2 is removably mounted on a distal end of a water discharge head mounting portion 1a of a water faucet base 1. A hose 3 connected to the head 2 extends downward through the faucet base 1.

In this conventional example, water from a pipe 4 is supplied into a faucet base 1 and flows out to a pipe 5 via a valve mechanism (not shown) in the faucet base 1, and then to a pipe 5. The water is supplied to the water discharge head 2 through the hose 3 connected to the pipe 5.
The valve mechanism is operated by the lever handle 6.

The upstream end of the hose 3 is connected to a lower end (not shown) of the pipe 5, and the hose 3 hangs in a U-shape. The lower part of the U-shaped hanging hose is housed in the water receiver 7. The water that has entered the water discharge head mounting part 1a of the faucet base part 1 and transmitted through the hose 3,
It falls into this water receiver 7.

[0005] The water receiver 7 is attached to, for example, the inner surface of a storage room of a sink cabinet.

The faucet is fixed to a cabinet or the like by tightening a nut 9 into a male screw 8 at the lower end of the faucet base 1.

[0007]

In the above-described conventional hose-housing type water faucet, it is necessary to mount the water receiver 7 inside the cabinet, and this mounting is troublesome. In particular, when water supply pipes or hot water supply pipes are routed in the cabinet storage room, the water supply pipes or hot water supply pipes are in the way, and the work of installing the water receiver 7 is troublesome. In some cases, it is not possible to install a tray.

Further, there is a possibility that the hose 3 comes off the water receiver 7 and water falls out of the water receiver 7.

The present invention provides a hose-housing type water faucet which does not require a water receiver in order to solve such problems.

[0010]

According to the hose-housing type water faucet of the present invention, a water discharge head is detachably mounted on a water faucet base, and a hose connected to the water discharge head is connected to the water faucet base. A hose-retractable faucet that extends through the faucet pedestal and extends below the faucet pedestal, wherein at least a portion of the hose in the vicinity of the faucet pedestal is covered with an elastic tubular body. Water falling from above the tubular body is received into the tubular body, and the space between the lower portion of the tubular body and the outer periphery of the hose is sealed in a watertight manner.

[0011] In such a hose-housing type water faucet, water that has entered the water faucet base portion from the spout head mounting portion of the water faucet base portion and transmitted through the hose accumulates in the tubular body. It does not fall down. Therefore, the conventional water receiver is unnecessary.

This tubular body is preferably bellows-shaped.

In the present invention, by providing a draining means below the cylindrical body, water collected in the cylindrical body can be drained.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hose storage type faucet according to an embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

Also in this embodiment, the faucet base 1
Water discharge head (not shown) at the tip of the water discharge head mounting portion 1a.
Is detachably mounted, and a hose 3 connected to the water discharge head passes through the faucet base 1 and hangs down below the faucet base 1. This hose 3 is curved in a U-shape, and its upstream end is connected to the pipe 5 via a joint 16.

The hose 3 has a cylindrical body 10 near the faucet base 1 among the parts hanging down from the water discharge head.
Covered with. The tubular body 10 has a bellows shape, and is integrated with the cap 11 in this embodiment. The cap portion 11 is fitted over the male screw 8 of the faucet base portion 1.

At the lower end of the tubular body 10, there is provided a ring portion 12 which is in close contact with the hose 3 in a watertight manner. The ring portion 12 is provided with a drain port 14 for draining water from the cylindrical body 10, and a plug 13 is detachably attached to the drain port 14.

An opening 15 is provided in the cap portion 11,
The pipe 5 is inserted through the opening 15. The joint 16 is provided at a lower end of the pipe 5.

In this embodiment, a notch 17 is provided so that the lower end of the faucet base 1 provided with the male screw 8 is notched, and the pipe 4 is provided with the notch. It is inserted through the part 17.

In the hose-housing water faucet constructed as described above, similarly to the conventional hose-housing water faucet, when the water discharging head is grasped and pulled, the hose 3 is attached to the water discharging head mounting portion 1.
drawn from a. Also, this spouting head is attached to
When the hose 3 is attached, the hose 3 is pulled into the faucet base 1, and the lower part of the hose 3 hangs below the faucet base 1.

In this embodiment, when the water entering the water discharge head mounting portion 1a flows down the hose 3 and flows down, the water is received by the tubular body 10 and flows down below it. Nothing. Therefore, the conventionally used water receiver is unnecessary.

When a large amount of water accumulates in the cylindrical body 10, the water can be extracted by opening the stopper 13. However, the amount of water flowing down the hose 3 is extremely small in the usual case, and the water in the cylindrical body 10 evaporates, so that this draining operation is almost unnecessary.

In the hose storage type faucet, since a water receiver is not required as described above, it is easy to install the faucet on a cabinet or the like. Further, since the space in the storage room of the cabinet is not eaten by the water receiver, the storage room can be widely used. In addition, since a water receiver is not required, the shower hose does not protrude from the water receiver, and water can be reliably collected. Furthermore, it is possible to install this faucet in any shape of cabinet.

In the above embodiment, the tubular body 10 has a bellows shape, but may be a soft rubber tubular body. Of course, a tubular body made of another material that can freely expand and contract with the pulling out and pulling back of the hose 3 may be used.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to receive the water of the hose storage faucet, and the installation of the hose storage faucet becomes easy. Further, the storage room of the cabinet in which the hose storage type faucet is installed can be widely used.

According to the present invention, the water transmitted through the hose can be reliably collected by the tubular body, and the water drops can be reliably prevented from wetting the floor or the like in the cabinet.

The hose storage faucet of the present invention can be installed in a cabinet of any shape.
