Water lock tap

Abstract

A water lock tap can be attached to a pedestal from above a washstand or the like. The water lock tap comprises a pedestal, which is secured to an attachment object such as a washstand, a pipe attachment member for attaching a water supply pipe to the bottom of the pedestal, and a neck, which is secured to the pedestal; the pedestal comprises a mesh structure for securing the neck to the outer periphery of the pedestal, and having a ring-like blade section which clips into an attachment hole, provided in the attachment object, and a cylindrical moving member which is suspended from the ring-like blade section and has a plurality of protruding members, which are pressed toward the outside when a cylindrical member having a screw notch in its outer periphery is screwed into a cylindrical space having a screw notch in its inner periphery, the cylindrical member having a slightly smaller diameter than the cylindrical space; the pipe attachment member comprises a screw notch section which functions as the cylindrical member, a flange section which connects to the screw notch section and is accommodated in the ring-like blade section in the pedestal, and a join section which is connected to the water supply pipe.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates to a flush tap provided on a washstand and the like, and more particularly to one which is attached from above the washstand and the like.[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art[0004] In attaching a flush tap to, for example, a washstand, a pedestal is secured to the washstand, a water supply pipe is secured below the pedestal, and a neck is attached above the pedestal. Then, the water supply pipe is attached at the back of the washstand, and the neck is attached above the washstand.[0005] Some necks can be attached by a single process, and selecting such a neck simplifies the attachment operation. In contrast, most pedestals are extremely tiresome to attach.[0006] The pedestal is attached to the washstand by screwing from the back thereof. Since washstands are usually attached to a wall, there is very little space at the back, making this a difficult operation. For this reason, it often takes a long time to secur...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] It is another object of the present invention to provide a water lock wherein the neck can be easily attached to the pedestal without requiring a pedestal of special structure.

Problems solved by technology

In contrast, most pedestals are extremely tiresome to attach.

Since washstands are usually attached to a wall, there is very little space at the back, making this a difficult operation.

For this reason, it often takes a long time to secure the screw.

In addition, since a water supply pipe must also be connected, the work at the back of the washstand requires a great deal of time.

A water lock is provided to a washstand and the like, and at the time of installation it must be connected to the water supply pipe below the washstand; this structure has poor workability.

In this case, the nut 6 with the metal washer 5 inserted must be tightened using tools below the washstand, and the person who performs this operation must squeeze himself into a narrow space, making the workability extremely poor.

However, water lock work involves not only the neck but also its pedestal, and if the pedestal cannot easily be attached and removed there is no benefit.

However, the conventional one-touch neck uses a screw system, and inevitably requires a rotational force to be applied to the pedestal during installation; when the pedestal has a lock nut system, the rotational force of the neck rotates the pedestal itself.
