Description
- The present invention relates to a faucet installing assembly according to the preamble of
claim 1, that is mounted on a wash basin or a kitchen sink quick, easy and simple. - A conventional faucet is installed in a narrow space below a basin which is located in a kitchen or a bathroom.
- A positioning structure for a faucet disclosed in
US Patent No. 8,763,175 B2 is fixed on the basin from an upper end of the basin. The faucet contains a body and a fixing device for installing the faucet on the basin from the upper end of the basin. The fixing device includes a mounting seat, two screw rods, and two clamping blocks. The mounting seat is inserted into an orifice on the basin and is employed to fix the body and to insert a supply pipe assembly. The supply pipe assembly has a first inlet pipe for flowing cold water, a second inlet pipe for flowing hot water and an inflow pipe for flowing a mixed water of the cold water and the cold water. The two screw rods are rotated to insert through the mounting seat from the orifice and are fixed by the two clamping blocks. When the two screw rods are rotated above the basin, they are positioned by the two clamping blocks and two stop stems on the mounting seat, such that the two clamping blocks are driven to force a bottom face of the basin, and the fixing seat and the body are clamped on the basin. - When the channel of some faucets is located at a low position of the faucets to connect with two inlet pipes, two connectors of the cold-water pipe and the hot-water pipe interference the base of the fixing device, so the base has to be re-designed. For example, an opening of an accommodating tunnel is re-designed so that the two connectors made of copper are accommodated in the accommodating tunnel. But a positioning rod and a clamping block are moved to influence their positioning effect.
- A conventional faucet installing assembly is disclosed in
US 6, 328,059 B1 and contains an insertion block inserted into a fixing orifice (301) of the basin, two inlet pipes connecting with a bottom face of the basin through the insertion block, and a faucet device located above the basin. The insertion block extends out of the basin and is fixed in the faucet device. The faucet installing assembly further contains a connecting device for fixing the insertion block on the basin. The connecting device includes a screwing bolt inserting through the insertion block and a fixer rotatably connected with the screwing bolt. The fixer has two flexible pads and is manually rotated toward an inserting position, such that the fixer passes through the fixing orifice of the basin to press one of the two flexible pads. The fixer rotates toward a stopping position by using the two flexible pads, such that when the screwing bolt is rotated, the fixer moves along the screwing bolt to contact with a bottom face of the basin, and the insertion block is fixed on the basin quickly and easily, thus positioning the faucet device on the basin. - Nevertheless, the connecting device has to cooperate with the insertion block, and the faucet device can only be fixed on the basin, after the insertion block is disposed. Since the insertion block is a part of a cold-water channel and a hot-water channel or a coupling pipe, water leakage will occur. Furthermore, the insertion block is removed from the faucet device troublesomely.
- The fixer of the connecting device moves upward along the screwing bolt by using the cold-water inlet pipe or the hot-water inlet pipe, yet the fixer is stuck in a gap between the cold-water inlet pipe and the hot-water pipe.
- The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
- One aspect of the present invention is to provide a faucet installing assembly according to
claim 1 which is mounted on a basin of a kitchen sink or a wash basin in a bathroom quickly and quickly. - To obtain the above aspects, a faucet installing assembly provided by the present invention comprises: a faucet device and a fixing device; the fixing device including a base, a screwing bolt, a connecting bolt, and an affixing mount.
- The base includes an insertion portion for inserting into a fixing orifice of a basin and includes an extending portion formed on a top end of the insertion portion and extending out of a top face of the basin. The extending portion has a positioning rib extending outwardly from a peripheral side thereof to contact with the top face of the basin above the fixing orifice of the basin. The extending portion has a groove defined therein, a bottom fringe formed on a bottom end of the groove, an opening adjacent to the bottom fringe, and a through orifice defined on the bottom fringe. The insertion portion has a peripheral fence, an accommodating trench defined in the peripheral fence and communicating with the opening, an operating space formed on an outer surface of the peripheral fence, and an isolation fence formed on an inner surface of the peripheral fence relative to the operating space.
- The screwing bolt includes a circular tab extending out of and retaining with the bottom fringe, and the screwing bolt also includes a threaded extension extending into the operating space through the through orifice of the base.
- The connecting bolt includes a threaded aperture defined therein and screwing with the threaded extension of the screwing bolt.
- The affixing mount is in an elongated frame shape and includes two opposite side cliffs to rotatably connect with the connecting bolt, and the affixing mount also includes a bottom cliff defined between the two side cliffs. The bottom cliff has a through hole defined thereon to insert through the threaded extension. The affixing mount rotates between an inserting position and a stopping position along the connecting bolt, and when the affixing mount is rotated toward the inserting position, it passes through the fixing orifice of the basin. When the affixing mount is rotated toward the stopping position, the screwing bolt is rotated on the basin and is limited by the isolation fence; and when the connecting bolt moves upward along the threaded extension of the screwing bolt, the affixing mount moves upward along the threaded extension of the screwing bolt to contact with a bottom face of the basin tightly.
- The faucet device includes a fitting orifice defined on a bottom thereof and is mounted on the base. The faucet device also includes a channel defined therein, two connectors disposed on the bottom end thereof relative to the accommodating trench of the base, and two inlet pipes, each of which is in connection with each of the two connectors and is inserted through the accommodating trench of the base.
- Accordingly, the faucet installing assembly of the present invention contains advantages as follows:
- 1. The fixing device and the faucet device are mounted on the basin easily and quickly.
- 2. The fixing device is adapted for the faucet device of various specifications, such as the channel defined at a low position of the faucet device, hence the channel, the two connectors, and the two inlet pipes are not re-designed, and the faucet device is mounted on the basin by means of the fixing device.
- 3. The isolation fence of the base limits a rotation of the affixing mount so that the affixing mount moves along the screwing bolt and separates from the two inlet pipes, and the affixing mount is not stuck in a gap between the two inlet pipes as rotating toward the stopping position from the inserting position.
- 4. After the affixing mount moves through the fixing orifice, the returning member (such as the pad or the two torsion springs) forces the affixing mount to move back to the stopping position from the inserting position by using the pad or the two torsion springs, thus contacting the affixing mount with the bottom face of the basin.
- 5. The guiding cliff of the affixing mount cooperates with the bushing of the screwing bolt so that the screwing bolt is rotated to force the affixing mount to rotate toward the stopping position from the inserting position and then to contact with the bottom face of the basin tightly, after the affixing mount moves through the fixing orifice. Moreover, the guiding cliff is one piece formed on the affixing mount to reduce production cost.
- 6. The affixing mount stably moves upward along the solation fence by ways of the magnetic attracting member (60) to contact with the basin securely, and the screwing bolt is rotated stably by using the affixing mount.
- 7. The affixing mount stably moves upward along the solation fence by means of the sliding structure, and the screwing bolt is rotated smoothly, such that the affixing mount contacts with the basin fixedly. Preferably, the sliding structure has the magnetic attraction to enhance operating stability of the connecting bolt.
