[0001] The present invention relates to a plumbing fixture mounting device, a plumbing fixture mounting tool, and a method for mounting the plumbing fixture mounting tool. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been a faucet mounting fixture for mounting a faucet to a mounting portion such as a top plate (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As shown in Fig. 18, this faucet mounting fixture 22 includes a base portion 23 disposed on the upper surface of a mounting portion 21 such as a top plate to which the faucet is attached, a presser portion 24 (first presser piece 24a and second presser piece 24b) disposed on the lower surface of the mounting portion 21, a male screw member 25a serving as a presser portion moving mechanism 25 for moving presser portion 24 in the up and down direction, a moving member 26a serving as a presser piece moving mechanism 26 for shifting the height position of first presser piece 24a so that it is higher than second presser piece 24b, and a rotation stopper member 27 for stopping the rotation of second presser piece 24b. To attach this faucet fitting 22 to the mounting portion 21, the second retaining piece 24b was passed through the mounting hole 21a opened in the mounting portion 21 and shifted sideways, and then the first retaining piece 24a was pushed down with the moving member 26a and passed through the mounting hole 21a, so that the second retaining piece 24b and the first retaining piece 24a were passed through the mounting hole 21a in that order. Next, the male screw member 25a was rotated to clamp the mounting portion 21 between the base portion 23 and the retaining member 24, thereby attaching the faucet fitting 22 to the mounting portion 21. After the faucet fitting 22 had been attached to the mounting portion 21 in this way, a water supply pipe or the like provided with the faucet was inserted into the mounting hole 21a through which the male screw member 25a, moving member 26a, and rotation stop member 27 passed, and the faucet was attached to the base portion 23 and ultimately to the mounting portion 21.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-314158 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the conventional faucet fitting described above, the holding portion 24 is composed of a first holding piece 24a and a second holding piece 24b, and in addition to the male screw member 25a, a moving member 26a and a rotation stop member 27 are required, which makes the structure complicated and the installation work troublesome.

[0005] This invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional art, and its object is to provide a faucet fixture mounting device, a faucet fixture mounting fixture, and a method for mounting a faucet fixture fixture that allows the faucet fixture fixture to be easily mounted to the mounting object. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the faucet fixture mounting device, faucet fixture mounting tool, and faucet fixture mounting method according to the present invention are configured as follows: The faucet fixture mounting device according to the invention of claim 1 comprises a faucet fixture mounting tool for mounting a faucet fixture to a mounting target and a wire member as an auxiliary member. The mounting target has a through-hole with a main through-hole through which a pipe connected to the faucet fixture can be passed from the front side of the mounting target and a mounting through-hole that communicates with the main through-hole. The faucet fixture comprises a press member that passes from the front side of the mounting target through the through-hole to the back side of the mounting target, and a screw member that passes through the mounting through-hole and screws into a threaded hole in the press member. The screw member has a through-hole that passes through its axial direction and a flange that is disposed on the front side of the mounting target, and the flange and the press member can clamp the mounting target. The screw member is provided with a mounting portion for mounting the faucet fixture. Furthermore, before the attachment object is clamped between the flange portion and the pressure member, the wire can pass through the through hole and the screw hole to hold the pressure member on the back side of the attachment object.

[0007] According to this faucet fixture, the faucet fixture includes a presser member that is disposed on the back side of the object to be attached, passing through a through hole from the front side of the object to be attached. The screw member has a flange that is disposed on the front side of the object to be attached. When the screw member is threaded from the front side of the object to the threaded hole of the presser member through the attachment through-hole, the object to be attached is clamped between the flange and the presser member, and the faucet fixture is attached to the object to be attached. Furthermore, when the presser member is disposed on the back side of the object to be attached, the presser member can be held on the back side of the object to be attached by a wire that passes through the through hole of the screw member and the threaded hole of the presser member. In this held state, the wire that passes through the through hole and the threaded hole can be used as a guide to thread the screw member into the threaded hole.

[0008] The faucet fixture mounting device according to the invention of claim 2 is the faucet fixture mounting device of claim 1, wherein the through-hole is formed with a female thread, and the female thread serves as the mounting part. In other words, by removing the wire and screwing a separately prepared mounting screw into the female thread of the through-hole, the faucet fixture can be mounted to the faucet fixture and ultimately to the mounting object.

[0009] The faucet fixture mounting device according to claim 3 is the faucet fixture mounting device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the presser member is formed in a U-shape, an arc-shape, or a U-shape so as to partially surround the periphery of the main through-hole, and a first screw hole as the screw hole is provided at one end thereof and a second screw hole as the screw hole is provided at the other end thereof.The faucet fixture comprises a first screw member and a second screw member as the screw members, and the first screw member is threaded into the first screw hole through the first mounting through-hole as the mounting through-hole, and the second screw member is threaded into the second screw hole through the second mounting through-hole as the mounting through-hole.

[0010] In addition, the faucet fixture mounting device of the invention described in claim 4 is the faucet fixture mounting device described in claim 3, in which the linear material is formed into a loop shape by connecting on both sides a first linear portion that passes through the through hole of the first screw member and the first screw hole of the pressing member, and a second linear portion that passes through the through hole of the second screw member and the second screw hole of the pressing member.

[0011] The faucet fixture according to claim 5 comprises a faucet fixture for attaching a faucet fixture to an attachment target and a wire member as an auxiliary member. The attachment target has a through-hole with a main through-hole through which a pipe connected to the faucet fixture can be passed from the front side of the attachment target and a mounting through-hole that communicates with the main through-hole. The faucet fixture comprises a press member that passes from the front side of the attachment target through the through-hole to the back side of the attachment target, a male threaded portion integrated with the press member and passing through the mounting through-hole, and a nut member that is disposed on the front side of the attachment target. The faucet fixture also comprises a through-hole that passes through the male threaded portion and the press member in the axial direction of the male threaded portion. The nut member is screwed onto the male threaded portion, and can clamp the attachment target together with the press member. The male threaded portion is provided with a mounting portion for attaching the faucet fixture. In addition, before the object to be attached is clamped between the nut member and the pressing member, the wire can pass through the screw hole and the through hole of the nut member to hold the pressing member on the back side of the object to be attached.

[0012] According to this faucet mounting device, the faucet mounting tool includes a presser member that passes through a through hole from the front side of the mounting object to the back side of the mounting object, an externally threaded portion integrated with the presser member, and a nut member that is disposed on the front side of the mounting object. When the nut member is screwed into the externally threaded portion that passes through the mounting through-hole from the front side of the mounting object, the mounting object is clamped between the nut member and the presser member, and the faucet mounting tool is attached to the mounting object. When the presser member is disposed on the back side of the mounting object, the presser member can be held on the back side of the mounting object by the threaded hole and externally threaded portion of the nut member and the wire that passes through the through-hole of the presser member. In this held state, the nut member can be screwed into the externally threaded portion using the wire that passes through the threaded hole and through-hole of the nut member as a guide.

[0013] The faucet fixture according to claim 6 is a fixture for attaching a faucet to an attachment target. The attachment target has a through-hole with a main through-hole through which piping connected to the faucet can be passed from the front side of the attachment target, and an attachment through-hole that communicates with the main through-hole. The faucet fixture includes a press member that passes through the through-hole from the front side of the attachment target to the back side of the attachment target, and a screw member that passes through the attachment through-hole and screws into a threaded hole in the press member. The screw member has a through-hole that passes through its axial direction and a flange that is disposed on the front side of the attachment target, and the flange and the press member can clamp the attachment target. The screw member is provided with an attachment portion for attaching the faucet.

[0014] This faucet fixture includes a presser member that passes through a through hole from the front side of the attachment target to the rear side of the attachment target, and a screw member. The screw member has a flange that is disposed on the front side of the attachment target. When the screw member is threaded from the front side of the attachment target through the attachment through-hole and into the threaded hole of the presser member, the attachment target is clamped between the flange and the presser member, and the faucet fixture is attached to the attachment target. When the presser member is disposed on the rear side of the attachment target, the presser member can be held in place using the threaded hole of the presser member and the through-hole of the screw member. For example, a wire can be prepared and passed through the through-hole of the screw member and the threaded hole of the presser member to hold the presser member on the rear side of the attachment target. While the wire is held in place, the screw member can be threaded into the threaded hole using the wire passing through the through-hole and the threaded hole as a guide.

[0015] The invention of claim 7 provides a method for installing a faucet fixture, which involves attaching the faucet fixture to a target object. The target object has a through-hole, which includes a main through-hole through which a pipe connected to the faucet can be passed from the front side of the target object, and a mounting through-hole that communicates with the main through-hole. The faucet fixture includes a press member with a threaded hole and a screw member with a through-hole that penetrates axially. The installation method involves passing a wire through the through-hole and the threaded hole to form a loop, connecting both ends of the wire, and inserting the press member from the front side of the target object through the through-hole to the back side of the target object. The wire is then positioned so that it passes through the mounting through-hole, and pulled from the front side of the target object, thereby holding the press member against the back side of the target object. Then, the screw member is screwed into the screw hole through the mounting through-hole from the front side of the mounting object, so that the mounting object is clamped between the flange portion provided on the screw member and the pressing member, thereby attaching the faucet fixture to the mounting object.

[0016] The method for installing a faucet fixture according to claim 8 is the method for installing a faucet fixture according to claim 7, wherein the presser member is formed in a U-shape, an arc-shape, or a U-shape so as to partially surround the periphery of the main through-hole, and has a first screw hole as the screw hole at one end and a second screw hole as the screw hole at the other end.The faucet fixture is provided with a first screw member and a second screw member as the screw members, and the first screw member is threaded into the first screw hole through a first mounting through-hole as the mounting through-hole, and the second screw member is threaded into the second screw hole through a second mounting through-hole as the mounting through-hole. In addition, the loop shape of the wire material is formed by connecting a first linear portion that passes through the through hole of the first screw member and the first screw hole of the pressing member, and a second linear portion that passes through the through hole of the second screw member and the second screw hole of the pressing member on both sides.

[0017] Furthermore, the method for installing a plumbing fixture according to the invention described in claim 9 is the method for installing a plumbing fixture according to claim 7, in which when the screw member is screwed into the screw hole from the front side of the object to be installed through the installation through-hole, the screw member is temporarily fastened by screwing it into the screw hole while the wire is pulled, and then the wire is removed, and after that the screw member is screwed into the screw hole using a tool to be fully fastened.

[0018] Furthermore, the method for installing a plumbing fixture according to the invention described in claim 10 is a method for installing a plumbing fixture according to any one of claims 7 to 9, wherein the main penetration portion has a circular shape, and the installation penetration portion has a shape in which a portion of the inner surface of the main penetration portion is recessed in the circumferential direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[Figure 17] This is also a diagram equivalent to FIG. [Figure 18] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional faucet fitting. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] Figures 1 to 15 show one embodiment of the present invention. In the figures, reference numeral 1 denotes an attachment object such as a wall or a ceiling plate. 2 denotes a faucet. 3 denotes a faucet fixture for attaching the faucet fixture 2 to the attachment object 1. 4 denotes a linear member used as an auxiliary member. 5 denotes a faucet fixture attachment device, which comprises the faucet fixture fixture 3 and the linear member 4.

[0023] The attachment target 1 is provided with a through-hole 1a having a main through-hole 1b through which a pipe 2x connected to the faucet 2 (in the illustrated embodiment, the base side of the faucet 2 in addition to the pipe 2x) can be passed from the front side 1x of the attachment target 1, and an attachment through-hole 1c that communicates with the main through-hole 1b. The faucet fixture 3 comprises a press member 6 that passes from the front side 1x of the attachment target 1 through the through-hole 1a and is disposed on the back side 1y of the attachment target 1, and a screw member 7 that passes through the attachment through-hole 1c and is screwed into a screw hole 6a provided in the press member 6. The screw member 7 has a through-hole 7a that passes through in the axial direction and a flange 7b that is disposed on the front side 1x of the attachment target 1, and the attachment target 1 can be clamped between the flange 7b and the attachment target 6, and the screw member 7 is also provided with an attachment portion 7c for attaching the faucet 2. On the other hand, before the attachment target 1 is clamped between the flange portion 7b and the press member 6, the wire material 4 passes through the through hole 7a of the screw member 7 and the threaded hole 6a of the press member 6, thereby enabling the press member 6 to be held on the back side 1y of the attachment target 1. More specifically, the wire material 4 is a bendable linear member such as a string, thread or wire, which passes through the through hole 7a and the threaded hole 6a and is in a loop state with both ends connected.

[0024] In detail, a female thread 7d is formed in the through hole 7a of the screw member 7, and the female thread 7d serves as the mounting portion 7c. The presser member 6 is formed in a U-shape, an arc-shape, or a C-shape (U-shape in the illustrated embodiment) so as to partially surround the periphery of the main through portion 1b, and is provided at one end with a first screw hole 6b as the screw hole 6a and at the other end with a second screw hole 6c as the screw hole 6a. The faucet fixture 3 is provided with a first screw member 701 and a second screw member 702 as the screw member 7, and the first screw member 701 is threaded into the first screw hole 6b through the first mounting through portion 1d as the mounting through portion 1c, and the second screw member 702 is threaded into the second screw hole 6c through the second mounting through portion 1e as the mounting through portion 1c. In addition, the wire material 4 is formed in a loop shape by connecting on both sides a first wire portion 4a that passes through the through hole 7a of the first screw member 701 and the first screw hole 6b of the pressing member 6, and a second wire portion 4b that passes through the through hole 7a of the second screw member 702 and the second screw hole 6c of the pressing member 6 (see Figure 2).

[0025] Specifically, the mounting object 1 may be, for example, a wall that stands at the back of a washbasin. As described above, the through hole 1a has a main penetration portion 1b and a mounting penetration portion 1c. The main penetration portion 1b has a circular shape, and the mounting penetration portion 1c has a shape in which a portion of the inner surface of the main penetration portion 1b is recessed in the circumferential direction. In addition to the piping 2x, the back portion (more specifically, the curved flow path forming portion 2e described later) on the base side of the faucet 2 passes through the main penetration portion 1b, and the screw member 7 passes through the mounting penetration portion 1c. More specifically, the mounting penetration portion 1c has a small circular shape to fit the screw member 7, and the portion that leads to the main penetration portion 1b is narrow, preventing the screw member 7 from slipping out into the main penetration portion 1b.

[0026] The faucet fixture 3 includes a press member 6 and a screw member 7, and the method for installing the faucet fixture 3 involves first passing the wire 4 through the through-hole 7a of the screw member 7 and the screw hole 6a of the press member 6, connecting both ends to form a loop. In detail, as described above, the loop shape of the wire 4 is formed by connecting both ends of the first wire portion 4a, which passes through the through-hole 7a of the first screw member 701 and the first screw hole 6b of the press member 6, and the second wire portion 4b, which passes through the through-hole 7a of the second screw member 702 and the second screw hole 6c of the press member 6 (see FIG. 2).

[0027] In this way, the wire material 4 is formed into a loop, and the pressing member 6 is inserted from the front side 1x of the attachment target 1 through the through hole 1a to the back side 1y of the attachment target 1. More specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, one end of the U-shaped pressing member 6 is inserted through the through hole 1a to the back side 1y of the attachment target 1, and then the pressing member 6 is rotated in its own circumferential direction 6x to insert the entire pressing member 6 into the back side 1y of the attachment target 1.

[0028] The wire 4 is then positioned to pass through the mounting through-hole 1c of the object 1, and pulled from the front side 1x of the object 1, thereby holding the presser member 6 against the back side 1y of the object 1. Next, the screw member 7 is threaded through the mounting through-hole 1c from the front side 1x of the object 1 and into the screw hole 6a of the presser member 6, thereby clamping the object 1 between the flange 7b of the screw member 7 and the presser member 6, thereby attaching the faucet fixture 3 to the object 1. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, while the wire 4 is pulled, the screw member 7 is threaded into the screw hole 6a of the presser member 6 to temporarily fasten it, and then the wire 4 is cut and removed using a cutting tool 8 such as scissors. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 (FIG. 10), the screw member 7 is screwed into the screw hole 6a of the presser member 6 using a turning tool 9 such as an L-shaped wrench and finally tightened.

[0029] In this way, the faucet fixture 3 is attached to the attachment object 1, and then the faucet fixture 2 is attached to the attachment object 1 using the attachment portion 7c of the screw member 7 (in the illustrated embodiment, the female thread 7d). The attachment procedure is shown using a faucet handle 201 as an example of the faucet fixture 2. The faucet handle 201 (faucet fixture 2) is composed of a first member 2a on the attachment object 1 side and a second member 2b assembled to the first member 2a. Pipes 2x, such as water supply pipes, hot water pipes, and hot and cold water mixing pipes, are flexible. An example of this pipe 2x is a braided hose, which has an inner inner layer made of cross-linked polyethylene, an outer inner layer made of flexible cross-linked polyethylene, a reinforcing layer made of stainless steel wire, and an outer layer made of special polyethylene. Therefore, together with the piping 2x, the curved flow-path forming portion 2e of the first member 2a, which will be described later, is inserted from the front side 1x of the attachment target 1 through the main penetration portion 1b to the back side 1y of the attachment target 1 (see FIG. 11), and the attachment screw 10 is passed through the hole 2c formed in the first member 2a and screwed into the female thread 7d formed in the through-hole 7a of the screw member 7, thereby attaching the first member 2a to the faucet fixture 3 (and therefore to the attachment target 1) (see FIGS. 12 and 13). Next, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 (15), the second member 2b is assembled to the first member 2a, thereby attaching the entire faucet fixture 2 to the faucet fixture 3 (and therefore to the attachment target 1). In detail, the first member 2a includes a base 2d having the hole 2c, a curved flow-path forming portion 2e located behind the base 2d and connected to the piping 2x, and a cartridge 2f located in front of the base 2d and adjusting the hot and cold water mixture ratio and flow rate. The curved flow-path forming portion 2e has a flow path that curves so that the connected piping 2x follows the surface of the back side 1y of the attachment object 1. Meanwhile, the second member 2b includes a cover 2g that covers both the base 2d and the cartridge 2f, and a handle portion 2h that operates the cartridge 2f.

[0030] Next, we will explain the effects of the faucet fixture mounting device 5, faucet fixture fitting 3, and mounting method for the faucet fixture fitting 3, which are configured as described above. The faucet fixture fitting 3 includes a presser member 6 that is positioned from the front side 1x of the mounting object 1 through the through-hole 1a to the back side 1y of the mounting object 1, and a screw member 7. The screw member 7 has a flange portion 7b that is positioned on the front side 1x of the mounting object 1. When the screw member 7 is threaded from the front side 1x of the mounting object 1 through the mounting through-hole 1c and into the screw hole 6a of the presser member 6, the mounting object 1 is clamped between the flange portion 7b and the presser member 6, and the faucet fixture 3 is attached to the mounting object 1. When the presser member 6 is positioned on the back side 1y of the mounting object 1, the presser member 6 can be held in place by using the screw hole 6a of the presser member 6 and the through-hole 7a of the screw member 7. That is, a wire 4 is prepared, and the wire 4 is passed through the through hole 7a of the screw member 7 and the threaded hole 6a of the press member 6, so that the press member 6 can be held on the back side 1y of the object 1. In this way, the wire 4 passing through the through hole 7a of the screw member 7 and the threaded hole 6a of the press member 6 can hold the press member 6 on the back side 1y of the object 1, and in this held state, the wire 4 passing through the through hole 7a and the threaded hole 6a can be used as a guide to screw the screw member 7 into the threaded hole 6a. That is, by using the threaded hole 6a of the press member 6 and the through hole 7a of the screw member 7, the faucet fixture 3 can be easily attached to the object 1 from the front side 1x of the object 1.

[0031] After the faucet fixture 3 is attached to the attachment object 1 in this manner, the pipe 2x (in the illustrated embodiment, the pipe 2x and the curved flow path forming portion 2e) connected to the faucet fixture 2 is passed from the front side 1x of the attachment object 1 through the main penetration portion 1b of the attachment object 1, and the faucet fixture 2 is attached to the faucet fixture 3, and therefore to the attachment object 1, using the attachment portion 7c of the screw member 7. In the illustrated embodiment, a female thread 7d is formed in the through hole 7a of the screw member 7, and this female thread 7d serves as the attachment portion 7c. In other words, the faucet fixture 2 can be attached to the faucet fixture 3, and therefore to the attachment object 1, by removing the wire 4 and screwing a separately prepared attachment screw 10 into the female thread 7d of the through hole 7a. Furthermore, since the faucet fixture 3 and the faucet fixture 2 can be attached from the front side 1x of the attachment object 1, this faucet fixture 3 can be used effectively, particularly when the attachment object 1 is a wall and there is not enough space for attachment work on the back side 1y of the attachment object 1.

[0032] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various other modifications are possible. For example, in the through hole 1a drilled in the attachment object 1, the main penetration portion 1b has a circular shape, and the attachment penetration portion 1c has a shape in which part of the inner circumferential surface of the main penetration portion 1b is recessed in the circumferential direction, but the entire through hole 1a may be formed in a circular shape, with part of it serving as the attachment penetration portion 1c and the other part as the main penetration portion 1b.

[0033] Furthermore, the faucet device 2 does not have to be a faucet handle 201, but may also be a water outlet 202 as shown in Figures 16 and 17. Here, the water outlet 202 is equipped with a retractable water outlet head 2i, to which is connected a pipe 2x made of a bendable flexible hose. The back of the water outlet 202 is provided with a guide member 2j that curves the pipe 2x so that it fits along the surface of the back side 1y of the attachment target 1, and when attaching the water outlet 202 to the attachment target 1, the guide member 2j that forms the back of the water outlet 202 together with the pipe 2x are inserted from the front side 1x of the attachment target 1 through the main penetration part 1b into the back side 1y of the attachment target 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the faucet device 2 does not have to be a faucet handle 201 or a water outlet 202, but may be a faucet device in which the faucet handle 201 and the water outlet 202 are integrated.

[0035] Furthermore, although a female thread 7d that serves as the attachment portion 7c is formed in the through-hole 7a of the screw member 7, the flange portion 7b may serve as the attachment portion 7c instead of the female thread 7d. That is, without using the attachment screw 10, the screw member 7 may be inserted into a hole provided in the base 2d (first member 2a) of the faucet 2, and then passed through the attachment through-hole 1c of the attachment target 1 and screwed into the threaded hole 6a of the presser member 6, so that both the base 2d (first member 2a, faucet 2) and the attachment target 1 are clamped between the flange portion 7b of the screw member 7 and the presser member 6. In addition, instead of the female thread 7d, the screw member 7 may have a male threaded portion that protrudes from the flange portion 7b toward the front side (i.e., the front side 1x of the attachment object 1), and this male threaded portion may serve as the attachment portion 7c and be inserted into a hole provided in the base 2d (first member 2a) of the faucet device 2, and a nut may be screwed onto the tip of the male threaded portion protruding from the hole, thereby attaching the base 2d (first member 2a, faucet device 2) to the attachment object 1.

[0036] Furthermore, each pressing member 6 has a first screw hole 6b (screw hole 6a) at one end and a second screw hole 6c (screw hole 6a) at the other end, but the side where the first screw hole 6b is provided and the side where the second screw hole 6c is provided may be separated to provide two pressing members 6, 6, and the number of pressing members 6 is arbitrary, and the number of screw holes 6a can also be set arbitrarily.

[0037] Furthermore, the wire material 4 is formed into a loop by connecting both ends of the first wire portion 4a that passes through the through hole 7a of the first screw member 701 (screw member 7) and the first screw hole 6b of the presser member 6, and the second wire portion 4b that passes through the through hole 7a of the second screw member 702 (screw member 7) and the second screw hole 6c of the presser member 6, but the first wire portion 4a and the second wire portion 4b may be individually looped back through the outside of the screw member 7 and the presser member 6. Furthermore, the wire material 4 does not have to be formed into a loop by connecting both ends of the wire material 4. In this case, the presser member 6 can be held on the back side 1y of the attachment target 1 (more specifically, held against the surface of the back side 1y) by pulling both unconnected ends of the wire material 4 from the front side 1x of the attachment target 1.

[0038] In addition, a wire material 4 is used to hold the pressing member 6 on the back side 1y of the object to be attached 1, but alternatively to or in addition to this wire material 4, an adhesive (bonding) means such as double-sided adhesive tape may be used to attach the pressing member 6 to the surface of the back side 1y of the object to be attached 1, thereby holding the pressing member 6 in place.

[0039] Furthermore, when attaching the faucet device 2 to the attachment object 1, the first member 2a constituting the faucet device 2 is attached to the faucet device mounting fixture 3 (and thus to the attachment object 1), and then the second member 2b constituting the faucet device 2 is assembled to the first member 2a, but the entire faucet device 2 may also be attached to the faucet device mounting fixture 3 (and thus to the attachment object 1) at once.

[0040] Furthermore, the faucet fixture 3 can be used not only when attached to an attachment object 1 consisting of an upright wall or the like, but also when attached to an attachment object 1 consisting of a horizontally extending top plate or the like, or an inclined attachment object 1. The faucet fixture 2 can be attached to the faucet fixture 3 and, ultimately, the attachment object 1 by passing the back or bottom, which is the base side of the faucet fixture 2, through the main penetration part 1b of the attachment object 1 in addition to the piping 2x. Note that, here, if the faucet fixture 2 is configured only on the front side 1x of the attachment object 1, only the piping 2x is passed through the main penetration part 1b.

[0041] Although not shown, the faucet fixture 3 may include, instead of the screw member 7 and the threaded hole 6a, a male threaded portion integrated with the retaining member 6 and passing through the mounting through-hole 1c, and a nut member disposed on the front side 1x of the object to be attached 1. That is, the faucet fixture 3 includes the retaining member 6, which is disposed from the front side 1x of the object to be attached 1 through the through-hole 1a to the back side 1y of the object to be attached 1, the male threaded portion, and the nut member. The faucet fixture 3 also includes a through-hole that passes through the male threaded portion and the retaining member 6 in the axial direction of the male threaded portion. The nut member is screwed into the male threaded portion, and can clamp the object to be attached 1 together with the retaining member 6. The male threaded portion is provided with an attachment portion for attaching the faucet fixture 2. This attachment portion may, for example, be a female thread formed in the through-hole, as in the above-described embodiment. In the faucet fixture mounting device 5, before the object to be mounted 1 is clamped between the nut member and the presser member 6, the wire 4 passes through the screw hole and male thread portion of the nut member and the through hole of the presser member, thereby holding the presser member 6 on the back side 1y of the object to be mounted 1. With this faucet fixture mounting device 5, when the nut member is screwed into the male thread portion passing through the mounting through-hole 1c from the front side 1x of the object to be mounted 1, the object to be mounted 1 is clamped between the nut member and the presser member 6, and the faucet fixture 3 is attached to the object to be mounted 1. Furthermore, when the presser member 6 is placed on the back side 1y of the object to be mounted 1, the wire 4 passing through the screw hole and male thread portion of the nut member and the through hole of the presser member 6 can hold the presser member 6 on the back side 1y of the object to be mounted 1, and in this held state, the nut member can be screwed into the male thread portion using the wire 4 passing through the screw hole and through hole of the nut member as a guide. That is, by using the through-hole and the screw hole of the nut member, the faucet fixture 3 can be easily attached to the attachment object 1 from the front side 1x of the attachment object 1.
