no. 1 approach

[0039] In the first embodiment, the rotary handle attached to the front end of a water faucet (especially a hot water faucet) will be described centering on the simple design by providing a handle to a part of the handle.

[0040] The outline of the first embodiment will be described.

[0041] A rotary handle according to a certain aspect of the present invention is a handle that is attached to a water faucet and is rotated by an operator to control water discharge.

[0042] The coefficient of friction of the operation surface formed on a part of the outer surface of the handle is set to be larger than that of other regions of the outer surface.

[0043] Since there is no "protrusion" such as a pull rod on the rotary handle, and an "operating surface" is formed along the outer surface of the handle, it is easy to reduce the accidental water discharge caused by accidentally touching the pull rod with hands or tableware. possibility. Moreover, since there is no protruding part...

no. 2 approach

[0093] In the second embodiment, a rotary handle attached to the front end of a water faucet (especially a hot water faucet) will be described centering on making the "groove" formed at the joining position of the handle and the faucet body shallower.

[0094] Most of the water faucets installed in the kitchen or the like control the water outlet through the handle. The handle has a rotary handle that controls the water flow through the rotation of the handle body.

[0095] In the rotary handle, there is a part in which a main shaft functioning as a "tap" of the faucet body is attached and the main shaft moves linearly when the handle is turned. For example, according to the rotary handle described in Patent Document 3, the main shaft 24 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 20 protruding from the faucet body 10 .

[0096] In the case of the rotary handle of Patent Document 3, there is a large gap between the handle 34 and the cylindrical portion 20 . When such a rotary h...

Abstract

A rotating handle 122 is mounted on a separate hot water faucet 100 and is for controlling water discharge by way of an operator rotating the handle. The coefficient of friction for a grip member 132 is set to be large in order to guide the finger of the operator to the grip member 132 (operating face) that is set in a portion of an exterior face 134 of the rotating handle 122 when the operator grabs the rotating handle 122. The grip member 132 is formed to have a linear operating face that extends to a position that does not reach the joining position of the rotating handle 122 and the separate hot water faucet 100 along the exterior face 134 in the direction of the rotational axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water faucet, in particular to the structure of a water outlet pipe and a rotary handle. Background technique [0002] Most of the faucets installed in places such as kitchens control the water outlet through handles. Among the handles, there is a rotary handle that controls the amount of water output through the rotation of the handle body. [0003] According to Patent Document 1, the rotary handle is installed near the water outlet of the faucet, that is, at the front end instead of the root. According to such a configuration, since the operator can operate in front of himself, the possibility of splashing water on the hand when operating the handle becomes low. However, since the handle is provided with a pull rod (handle), if the handle, clothes, or tableware etc. touch the pull rod by chance, the water may also be accidentally discharged (hereinafter, such unexpected water discharge is referred to as "wrongly discharge...
