【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、洗濯機に対し水を供給する洗濯機用水栓に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、洗濯機の上部壁面に取り付けられた水栓から水を洗濯機に供給するようにしたものとして図４のものがある。この図４に就いて簡単に説明すると、水栓３１は洗濯機３４の上部で壁面３５に取り付けられて、先端の吐水管３２が前方に大きく突出してその下端部にホース３３を接続しており、水栓３１の上部水平方向に棚板３６を架設し、該棚板３６に洗濯物を乾燥するための乾燥機３７を載置したものである。
【０００３】
上記のように水栓が前方及び上下へ大きく突き出していると、ホースは壁面から前方へ大きく離れた位置で垂れ下がっており、見栄えが悪いうえ洗濯物の洗濯槽への出し入れや乾燥機への移動の際に吐水管やホースが邪魔になり、作業性が悪くなる欠点があった。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、洗濯機の上部に取り付けられる洗濯機用水栓を壁面から大きく突出しないようにコンパクトに形成して、洗濯を行う際の作業性を良好にすることである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、壁面に沿って設置した洗濯機の上部に取り付け、ホースを介して洗濯機へ水を供給する洗濯機用水栓は、水平方向に形成した一次室と該一次室に対し直角方向に形成した二次室を仕切る弁孔を隔壁の垂直部に穿設し、弁孔を開閉する弁体とスピンドルを介して連繋したハンドルを前記一次室と同軸上に取り付け、前記二次室の下端部にホース継手を介してホースを接続したものである。
【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図に基づいて詳細に説明する。本発明は図１及び図２に示すように、洗濯機Ａは壁面Ｃに沿って設置され背面に設置台１を固定し、該設置台１は洗濯機Ａの中途部から垂直方向に延設した一対の脚部２、２と該脚部２、２の上端から水平方向前方に形成した棚板３からなり、洗濯物を乾燥する乾燥機Ｂを載置した棚板３は洗濯機Ａを使用する際に支障がないように、洗濯機Ａとの間の上下間に空間を設けている。
【０００７】
洗濯機Ａと乾燥機Ｂの間の狭い空間に取り付けられている洗濯機用水栓４は図３に示すように断面略Ｔ字形で、水平方向に横長の一次室５を形成し、該一次室５の前部で下向きの直角方向に屈曲して縦長の二次室６を形成し、両室５、６を仕切る隔壁７の垂直部７ａに穿設した弁孔８により一次室５と二次室６が連通し、弁孔８を開閉する弁体９にスピンドル１０を介してハンドル１１を前記一次室５と同軸上で前方に接続している。従ってハンドル１１を時計方向に回動するとスピンドル１０が右方向に回転しながら移動して弁体９は弁孔８を閉塞し水の供給が停止され、逆にハンドル１１を反時計方向に回動するとスピンドル１０は左方向に移動し、一次室５内の水圧によって弁体９が左方向に押されて弁孔８が開放され、水の供給が開始される。
【０００８】
前記二次室６の下部にはホース継手１２により洗濯機Ａ内部へ水を供給するホース１３を結合している。前記ホース継手１２は洗濯機用水栓４に結合した中間筒１４の下部に形成した小径部１５に、ホース１３を結合した差込筒１７を差し込むと、複数個のボール１９が中間筒１４の側壁に形成した凹溝１６と差込筒１７のボール溝１８の両方にまたがって保持され、差込筒１７の外周面に嵌装されたスリーブ２０がボール１９の移動を規制しているので差込筒１７と中間筒１４の結合状態は維持され、差込筒１７を中間筒１４から外すにはスリーブ２０をスプリング２１に抗して押し下げた状態で差込筒１７を引き抜けば、ボール１９が中間筒１４の凹溝１６から離れるから差込筒１７を中間筒１４から離脱することができるものである。
【０００９】
上記のように本発明の洗濯機用水栓４は水平方向に形成した一次室５に対し二次室６を直角方向、即ち下向きに形成することで洗濯機用水栓４の上下及び奥行きの寸法をコンパクトにでき、壁面Ｃから前方への突出部分が少なくなるので、それに伴い二次室６の下部に結合したホース１３は壁面Ｃに近接した状態で垂れ下がっており、洗濯の際に邪魔になることがない。
【００１０】
【発明の効果】
この発明は上記の構成であるから、次の利点を有する。
（１）本発明の洗濯機用水栓は壁面から前方及び上下への突出量が少なく、コンパクトに形成されており、洗濯機へ水を供給するホースは壁面に近接した状態で垂れ下がっているので、洗濯物の洗濯機への出し入れや乾燥機への移動の際に障害物となることがなく、作業を安全に行うことができる。
（２）従来の洗濯機用水栓と比較してコンパクトであるので洗濯機の上部がすっきりして見栄えがよく、乾燥機を設置する際に邪魔にならない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a faucet for a washing machine that supplies water to a washing machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, water is supplied to a washing machine from a faucet attached to the upper wall surface of the washing machine. Referring briefly to FIG. 4, the faucet 31 is attached to the wall surface 35 at the upper part of the washing machine 34, and the water discharge pipe 32 at the tip protrudes greatly forward, and the hose 33 is connected to the lower end thereof. A shelf board 36 is installed in the upper horizontal direction of the faucet 31, and a dryer 37 for drying the laundry is placed on the shelf board 36.
[0003]
If the faucet protrudes greatly forward and downward as described above, the hose hangs at a position far away from the wall, leading to poor appearance and moving the laundry into and out of the laundry tub and to the dryer. In this case, there was a drawback that the water discharge pipe and the hose were in the way and the workability was deteriorated.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to improve the workability at the time of washing by forming a washing machine faucet attached to the upper part of the washing machine compactly so as not to protrude greatly from the wall surface.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a washing machine faucet that is attached to an upper part of a washing machine installed along a wall surface and supplies water to the washing machine through a hose. A primary chamber formed in a horizontal direction and a direction perpendicular to the primary chamber. A valve hole for partitioning the formed secondary chamber is formed in the vertical portion of the partition wall, and a handle connected to the valve body for opening and closing the valve hole via a spindle is attached coaxially with the primary chamber, and a lower end of the secondary chamber A hose is connected to the part via a hose joint.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the washing machine A is installed along the wall surface C and the installation table 1 is fixed to the back surface, and the installation table 1 extends vertically from the middle part of the washing machine A. The shelf 3 is formed of a pair of legs 2, 2 and a shelf 3 formed horizontally forward from the upper ends of the legs 2, 2. A space is provided between the top and bottom of the washing machine A so as not to hinder the use.
[0007]
The washing machine faucet 4 attached to the narrow space between the washing machine A and the drying machine B has a substantially T-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 3 and forms a horizontally long primary chamber 5 in the horizontal direction. 5 is bent in a downward perpendicular direction to form a vertically long secondary chamber 6, and the primary chamber 5 and the secondary chamber are formed by a valve hole 8 formed in a vertical portion 7 a of a partition wall 7 partitioning both the chambers 5, 6. The chamber 6 communicates, and a handle 11 is connected to the valve body 9 that opens and closes the valve hole 8 via a spindle 10 coaxially with the primary chamber 5 and forward. Accordingly, when the handle 11 is rotated clockwise, the spindle 10 moves while rotating to the right, the valve body 9 closes the valve hole 8 and the supply of water is stopped, and conversely, the handle 11 is rotated counterclockwise. Then, the spindle 10 moves leftward, the valve body 9 is pushed leftward by the water pressure in the primary chamber 5, the valve hole 8 is opened, and the supply of water is started.
[0008]
A hose 13 for supplying water to the inside of the washing machine A is connected to the lower portion of the secondary chamber 6 by a hose joint 12. When the hose joint 12 is inserted into the small-diameter portion 15 formed at the lower portion of the intermediate cylinder 14 connected to the faucet 4 for a washing machine, the insertion cylinder 17 combined with the hose 13 is inserted into the side wall of the intermediate cylinder 14. Since the sleeve 20 that is held across both the concave groove 16 formed in the above and the ball groove 18 of the insertion cylinder 17 and is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion cylinder 17 restricts the movement of the ball 19, the insertion is performed. The coupling state of the cylinder 17 and the intermediate cylinder 14 is maintained, and in order to remove the insertion cylinder 17 from the intermediate cylinder 14, the ball 19 is pulled out by pulling out the insertion cylinder 17 with the sleeve 20 pushed down against the spring 21. Since the intermediate cylinder 14 is separated from the recessed groove 16, the insertion cylinder 17 can be detached from the intermediate cylinder 14.
[0009]
As described above, the faucet 4 for a washing machine according to the present invention forms the secondary chamber 6 in a direction perpendicular to the primary chamber 5 formed in the horizontal direction, that is, downward, so that the vertical and depth dimensions of the faucet 4 for the washing machine can be adjusted. Since it can be made compact and there are fewer forward projections from the wall surface C, the hose 13 coupled to the lower part of the secondary chamber 6 hangs down in the vicinity of the wall surface C, and becomes an obstacle when washing. There is no.
[0010]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages.
(1) The washing machine faucet of the present invention has a small amount of forward and vertical protrusion from the wall surface, is formed compactly, and the hose for supplying water to the washing machine hangs down in a state close to the wall surface, Work can be performed safely without being an obstacle when the laundry is put in and out of the washing machine or moved to the dryer.
(2) Since it is more compact than a conventional faucet for a washing machine, the upper part of the washing machine is clean and looks good, and does not get in the way when installing a dryer.
