【発明の詳細な説明】
（産業上の利用分野）
この発明は水栓に関し、詳しくは吐水口に特徴と有する
ものに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a water faucet, and more particularly to features of a water spout.
（従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題）従来、
水栓には多くの種類が知られているが、例えば第５図に
示しているようにキッチンシンクに設けられる水栓１０
０の場合、標準的なタイプのものは吐水口１０２の長さ
、高さがほぼ一定の寸法（通常長さ文が２５０ｍｍ、高
さｈか１８０ ｍ＋ａ）に定まっている。(Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention) Conventionally,
Many types of faucets are known, but for example, as shown in Fig. 5, a faucet 10 installed in a kitchen sink.
In the case of 0, the length and height of the spout 102 of the standard type are determined to be approximately constant (normally, the length is 250 mm and the height is h or 180 m+a).
一方キッチンシンクは、近年種々のものが普及しており
、これに伴ってシンクの形状、大きさ。On the other hand, various types of kitchen sinks have become popular in recent years, and with this, the shape and size of the sink has changed.
深さも様々となってきている。The depth also varies.
しかるに上記のように水栓の吐水口１０２の長さ、高さ
は一定であるため、シンクの大きさ、深さ等によっては
吐水口先端の水の出口、即ち吐出口の高さが高すぎたり
低すぎたりする問題が発生する。However, as mentioned above, the length and height of the faucet spout 102 are constant, so depending on the size and depth of the sink, the water outlet at the tip of the spout, that is, the height of the spout may be too high. Problems may occur if the temperature is too low or too low.
また近年においては、吐水口先端に浄水器や自動吐水装
置等が取り付けられて使用されるようになってきている
が、この場合には水の出口が更に低くなることとなり、
キッチンシンクの洗い場空間を更に狭く（上下に）する
要因となっている。In addition, in recent years, water purifiers and automatic water discharging devices have been installed at the tip of the water spout, but in this case, the water outlet becomes even lower.
This is a factor that makes the washing area of the kitchen sink even narrower (up and down).
（課題を解決するための手段）
本発明はこのような課題を解決するためになされたもの
であり、その要旨は、吐水口を長手方向に複数に分割し
、それら分割体をジヨイントにより互いに相対回動可能
に且つ内部の通水路を連通させる状態で連結したことに
ある。(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its gist is to divide the spout into a plurality of parts in the longitudinal direction, and to connect the divided bodies relative to each other by joints. They are connected in a manner that allows them to rotate and communicate with each other through internal water passages.
（作用及び発明の効果）
本発明によれば、ジヨイントにより連結された分割体を
屈曲ないし回動させて相互の角度を二次元的に若しくは
三次元的に変化させることにより、吐水口の長さ、高さ
を自由にコントロールすることか可能である。(Operation and Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the length of the spout can be adjusted by bending or rotating the divided bodies connected by the joint to change the mutual angle two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally. It is possible to freely control the height.
従ってキッチンシンクの形状、深さの如何に拘らず、或
いはまた浄水器や自動吐水装置を吐出口に取り付けた場
合においても、水の吐出口の高さを適正な高さに合せる
ことができる。Therefore, regardless of the shape and depth of the kitchen sink, or even when a water purifier or automatic water discharging device is attached to the outlet, the height of the water outlet can be adjusted to an appropriate height.
尚本発明においては、吐水口を様々な数に分割可能であ
るが、少なくともこれを３分割するようにすれば、吐出
口の向きを一定にした状態で吐水口の長さ、高さを変え
ることができ、好都合である。In the present invention, the spout can be divided into various numbers, but if it is divided into at least three parts, the length and height of the spout can be changed while keeping the direction of the spout constant. It is possible and convenient.
以上の説明では、キッチンシンクに設けられる水栓を中
心として述べたが、本発明は他の場所に設置される水栓
にも勿論適用可能である。Although the above description has focused on a faucet installed in a kitchen sink, the present invention is of course applicable to faucets installed in other places.
本発明は、各分割体として種々長さのものを用意してお
き、それらを適宜に組み合せてジヨイントにより連結す
ることにより、吐水口を伸長状態において様々な長さ、
高さとすることができる特長を有する。In the present invention, by preparing divided bodies of various lengths, combining them appropriately and connecting them with joints, the water spout can be adjusted to various lengths in the extended state.
It has the feature that it can be made high.
一般に水栓は鋳造にて製造され、従って従来吐水口の長
さ、高さが異なる水栓を製造する場合、その都度鋳型を
新規に製造しなければならず、コスト増大を招いていた
。しかるに本発明によれば僅かの種類の鋳型を用いて数
多くの種類の水栓を製造することができる。但し本発明
は水栓を鋳造により製造する場合のみならず、樹脂等信
の材料で、或いは他の方法で製造する場合にも勿論適用
可能なものである。Generally, faucets are manufactured by casting, and conventionally, when manufacturing faucets with different spout lengths and heights, a new mold had to be manufactured each time, leading to increased costs. However, according to the present invention, many types of faucets can be manufactured using only a few types of molds. However, the present invention is of course applicable not only to the case where the faucet is manufactured by casting, but also to the case where the faucet is manufactured using a material such as resin or by other methods.
（実施例） 次に本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて詳しく説明する。(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

内部の通水路を連通させる状態で連結されている。In the faucet 10 of this example, the spout 14 has a first divided body 20 at the tip on the discharge port 18 side, a second divided body 22 in the middle,
It is divided into three parts, including a third divided body 24 on the proximal end side, which are connected to each other by two joints 26 so as to be relatively rotatable and to communicate the internal water passages.

, a cap nut 32, and a screw member 34 with a flange. The tube member 28 has a pole portion 36 on one end side, and its spherical outer peripheral surface is rotatably fitted to the concave spherical surface (inner peripheral surface) of the seat member 30. The cap nut 32 is pressed by the inward flange 38 of the cap nut 32 screwed onto the male thread 40 of the cap nut 32 via the O-ring 42, and is prevented from being removed from the second divided body 22.

る。On the other hand, a male thread 44 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the opposite end of the tube member 28.
is formed, and this male thread 44 is coupled to the first divided body 20 via the screw member 34. in particular,
The male thread 44 of the tube member 28 is screwed into the female thread 46 on the inner peripheral surface of the threaded member 34, and the male thread 48 on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded member 34 is screwed into the female thread 49 on the inner peripheral surface of the end portion of the first divided body 20, The end of the tube member 28 is fluid-tightly connected to the first divided body 20 via an O-ring 42 disposed at the threaded portion.

きにしたまま高さ等を調節することができる。In the case of the faucet IO of this example, as shown in FIG. 4, by bending or rotating each divided body 20, 22, 24 two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally and adjusting the mutual angle,
The protrusion amount (length) and height of the water spout 14 from the faucet body 12 can be controlled as appropriate. Therefore, regardless of the shape, size, and depth of the sink, the height and horizontal position of the discharge port 18 can be adjusted to two appropriate height positions. In this case, the faucet 10 of this example has three spout ports 14.
Since the discharge port 18 is divided into two parts, the height etc. can be adjusted while keeping the direction of the discharge port 18 constant.
