DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a mixing faucet with a wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a unit bathroom or the like, it is widely used to attach a mixing faucet to a front surface of a wall. FIG. 7 specifically shows the mixing faucet with the wall and an example of its installation. In the figure, 200 is a bathtub,
202 is a washing place adjacent to the bathtub 200, 204 is a counter provided adjacent to the washing place 202, and 206 is a mixing faucet for the bathtub.

Reference numeral 208 denotes a counter 204 as a mounting wall.
Is a mixing faucet with a wall attached to the front plate 210 of the present invention, which has a faucet main body 212 containing a mixing section for mixing hot water and water, and a water discharge pipe 213 extending from the faucet main body 212. . From the faucet body 212, the shower hose 21
6 is extended and the tip thereof is
It is connected to the.

The faucet main body 212 is further provided with a temperature control handle 218 and a water discharge switching handle 220 for switching water discharge from the water discharge pipe 213 to the shower head 214 or vice versa, or stopping water discharge.

In this example, a faucet main body 212 is formed of a pair of C-shaped crank legs 2 forming a part of a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe.
It is mounted on a front plate 210 as a mounting wall via a support 22 and is supported via a crank leg 222. FIG. 8 shows the structure of attaching the mixing faucet 208 to the front plate 210 in this example more specifically.

As shown in FIG. 1A, each of a pair of crank legs 222 is provided with an externally threaded tube portion 224, and the externally threaded tube portion 224 is provided inside the front plate 210 (right side in the figure). An externally threaded pipe portion 226 protruding from the faucet main body 212 is connected to and fixed to a pipe (not shown), and
8, the connection of the mixing faucet 208 is performed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the faucet main body 212 is provided with a shower elbow 232, and the shower elbow 232 is connected to the shower elbow 232.
16 is connected to the indoor side at a predetermined distance from the front plate 210.

[0008]

However, when the mixing faucet 208 is mounted such that the faucet main body 212 is supported by the crank leg 222, the faucet apparatus projects greatly from the wall surface (see FIG. 1). FIG. 8 (B)
reference). For example, in the case of the above example, there occurs a problem that the mixing faucet 208 protrudes greatly toward the washing place 202 and the washing place space is narrowed.

The faucet main body 2 is connected to the crank leg 222.
12 and a faucet main body 212 by a crank leg 222.
When supporting the water faucet, the connection port of the faucet main body 212, specifically, in the case of the above example, the male screw pipe portion 226 is connected to the crank leg 2.
There is a problem that the work of aligning with the corresponding connection port of No. 22 is required, and the installation of the faucet apparatus is troublesome.

[0010]

The mounting structure of the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem. Thus, the mounting structure of the invention of the present application is a mounting structure of a mixing faucet with a wall, wherein the faucet main body having a built-in hot / water mixing part and a fastening member fastened to the faucet main body have the wall. The main body of the faucet is fixed to the wall so as to be sandwiched from both sides of the front and back sides, and is attached.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mounting structure according to claim 1, wherein a female screw hole is formed in a rear surface of the faucet main body, and a through hole is formed in the wall at a position corresponding to the female screw hole. A bolt as a fastening member is screwed into the female screw hole from the back side of the wall through the through hole, and the faucet main body is fixed in a state where the faucet body and the bolt sandwich the wall. (Claim 2).

A mounting structure according to still another invention of the present application is characterized in that, in claim 1 or 2, the faucet body is fixed to the wall in a state where the faucet body abuts on the wall without a gap. (Claim 3).

[0013] A mounting structure according to yet another aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first, second, and third aspects, wherein a positioning projection is projected rearward from a rear surface of the faucet main body, and the positioning projection is formed as follows.
The faucet main body is positioned at a corresponding position by being fitted into a positioning hole provided on the wall side (claim 4).

A mounting structure according to still another aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in claim 4, the positioning projection is a connection port of a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe integrally provided on the faucet body ( Claim 5).

[0015]

As described above, the mounting structure according to the first aspect of the present invention is such that the faucet body is fixed to the wall with the faucet body and the fastening member sandwiching the wall from the front and back sides, and attached. In this way, the size of the mixing faucet projecting from the wall to the room side can be reduced. Therefore, in the case where the mixing faucet is provided in the washing room of the unit bathroom with the wall attached thereto, the washing space can be widely used.

According to this mounting structure, the crank leg which has been conventionally required as a member for supporting the faucet main body can be omitted, thereby improving the appearance of the mixing faucet or the periphery of the mounting portion. In addition, the cleaning property can be improved. Further, it is not necessary to perform the alignment between the crank leg and the connection port of the faucet body as in the related art, and the workability of mounting the mixing faucet can be improved.

In the present invention, sandwiching the wall between the faucet main body and the fastening member means not only the case where the faucet main body is directly brought into contact with the wall but also the state where another member is interposed therebetween. This includes the case of contact.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a female screw hole is formed in the rear surface of the faucet main body, and a bolt is screwed into the female screw hole from a back side of the wall through a through hole formed in the wall. The faucet body is fixed so that the wall is sandwiched between the main body and the faucet body. According to this mounting structure, the mixing faucet can be easily mounted with a simple structure.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the faucet main body is brought into contact with the wall without any gap, so that the size of the mixing faucet projecting from the wall can be reduced as much as possible. It can be kept small.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the positioning faucet is provided on the faucet main body so as to protrude rearward, and is fitted into a positioning hole formed in the wall. When the faucet body is mounted on the wall, the mounting position can be easily positioned, and the fastening member can be easily fastened, so that the attachment of the mixing faucet can be further improved.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a connection port for a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe is provided in a protruding manner on the rear surface of the faucet body, and the connection port also serves as the positioning projection.
This eliminates the need to separately provide a positioning projection on the faucet main body, and can simplify the structure of the faucet main body.
