DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shower head for discharging water from a faucet of a sink or a sink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a shower head for discharging water from a faucet of a sink or a basin has a central water outlet provided at a central portion of a face thereof and a large number of water sprays provided around the central water outlet. With a watering plate with holes, water is supplied to the cup etc. by spouting from the central water spouting port, while washing dishes etc. by shower watering from the watering plate,
2. Description of the Related Art A shower head capable of switching a water discharge mode is known.
However, in such a shower head, when the water is spouted from the central spouting port, the fluid cannot be applied to only a part of the object to be cleaned, and the dirt cannot be removed unless the tableware is moved many times. When the water was discharged from a large area through the sprinkling hole, the water force of the fluid was weak, and it was difficult to quickly perform the cleaning. Therefore, as a shower head that solves such a problem, for example, a shower head described in JP-A-2000-27247 is known. This shower head is provided with a slit-shaped long hole formed in the water sprinkling plate, and is intended to quickly and efficiently perform cleaning by vigorously discharging hot water from the long hole.

[0003]

However, in the above-described shower head, although vigorous spouting can be obtained, the spouting becomes film-like, and thus has the following problems. In the case of water discharged from a long hole, the water discharged is formed in a film shape, that is, in a straight line, and thus is not suitable for, for example, washing the whole of a large round plate at a time. In order to wash the entire dish, it is necessary to make the spout directly hit each part of the dish, and in the above-mentioned linear spout form, move the dish many times back and forth and left and right so that the spout spreads over the whole dish Need to be cleaned. Therefore, while the trouble of cleaning increases,
There is a problem that a large amount of hot and cold water is required and hot water is wasted.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional shower head, and can quickly and efficiently wash an object to be washed such as tableware, thereby saving hot water consumption. It is intended to provide a shower head.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems Means adopted by each of the present invention to solve the above problems will be described below. The shower head according to claim 1 is a shower head that discharges water from a water tap of a sink or a basin, and diffuses shower water by diffusing outward by 10 ° or more from an axis in a water discharging direction of the shower head. A shower head characterized by being provided with an outward sprinkling hole.

A large shower water can be obtained by spraying the shower water diffused outward from the axis of the shower head in the water discharge direction. For example, even a large object such as a round plate can be washed. , You can quickly wash the whole.

[0007] The angle of outward diffusion is preferably 10 ° or more. However, in order to make it possible to wash out with a certain amount of water more reliably, the diffusion of shower water must be within a certain range. But this is good. Therefore, the angle is preferably set to 10 ° to 30 °, more preferably 15 ° to 20 °.

Here, in the shower head according to the first aspect, the outward sprinkling holes are provided as described above. However, as in the shower head according to the second aspect, “water is discharged simultaneously with the outward sprinkling holes. In addition to water spraying outwards, it is also possible to obtain water sprays inward by providing an inward watering hole that sprays water inward from the axis of the shower head in the water discharge direction. Water can be sprayed simultaneously inside the outward spout. Therefore, not only the size of the water spouting becomes large, but also the substantial water spouting area increases at the same time, so that the water spouting can be performed in a wider area in a short time, and the cleaning can be performed more quickly. Further, by providing water spray holes for spraying water at various angles toward the inside from the outward water spray port, further quick cleaning can be performed.

A shower head according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that “a switching water outlet for performing concentrated water discharging in a bundle and a water discharging from the concentrated water discharging port or the water discharging from the outward water discharging hole are switched. A shower head according to claim 1 or 2.

The "concentrated water outlet" refers to a water outlet for "performing bundled concentrated water discharge" as described above, that is, a so-called normal straight water outlet. The apparatus is provided with a switching device for switching the water discharge from the central water discharge port and the outward water sprinkling hole. By providing such a switching device, when supplying water to a cup or the like, water can be selected from a central water discharge port, and when washing dishes or the like, water can be discharged from an outward watering hole, and water can be discharged according to the purpose of use. A shower head that can be appropriately switched can be provided.

[0011] The showerhead according to a fourth aspect of the present invention comprises a straight water spout hole for performing shower water spraying parallel to the axis of the shower head in the water spouting direction, and water spouting from the straight water spout or the outward water sprinkling. 2. A switching device for switching to water discharge from a hole.
To the shower head according to any one of claims 3 to 3. "

The straight water sprinkling hole as described above does not diffuse the water spout unlike the outward water sprinkling hole described above, so that the size of the water spouting water cannot be obtained. However, it is suitable for washing a small washing object. By providing the above-described switching device in the shower head having such a straight water sprinkling hole, when cleaning a large object to be cleaned, from the outward water sprinkling hole, when cleaning a not so large object to be cleaned, a straight line is used. It is possible to select a water discharge from the water sprinkling hole, and it is possible to provide a shower head that can appropriately switch the water discharge according to the purpose of use. In addition, in the shower head which also has the above-mentioned centralized water outlet, it is preferable to have a switching device capable of switching including the water discharge from the centralized water outlet.

The showerhead according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the showerhead is provided with an operating section for switching the switching device by a pushing operation. ".

As an operation means of the above-mentioned switching device, for example, there is an operation device which rotates a face of a shower head, but the operation is not always simple and it is difficult to perform quick switching. In the above-described shower head, the operability is improved because the water discharge mode can be switched by the pushing operation of each operation unit.

A shower head according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the “shower head according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, which is of a hand-held type”.

The hand-held shower head is, for example, a shower head connected to a water faucet main body by a flexible tube, and is used by a user by hand as needed. A hand-held shower head is a shower head intended to obtain water discharge particularly at a desired place. By applying the above-described invention to a handheld shower head, a quick cleaning operation at a desired place becomes possible.

[0017] Particularly, a handheld shower head is
When the operation unit of the switching device is provided by a pushing operation, the operation unit can be operated with the finger of the hand holding the shower head, which is preferable in terms of improvement in operability. Also,
In particular, in the case of a handheld shower head, it is preferable that the operation unit be distributed to the tip and side surfaces of the shower head so that the operation unit is arranged at a position where a finger is held while being held by a hand.
