JPH01224586A - Remote control of supply, stoppage and quantity of city water - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To use water effectively without waste to reduce a water consumption by remotely operating a cock of city water using part of a body such as a foot instead of using a hand. CONSTITUTION:Wire 2 is pulled if a step plate 4 is stepped with a foot, and if the foot is returned, the step plate 4 and the wire 2 return because it is pushed by a spring 5. If the wire 2 is pulled to get one side of an actuation rod 9 supported by a support column 8 down, the other side where a cock 10 is supported is pulled up to make water supplied from the cock 10. Supply and stoppage of water can thus be controlled by operation using a part of a body such as a foot while leaving a hand freely usable, thereby the water consumption can be reduced.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (A) Industrial Application Field This invention enables the operation of water supply, etc., which was previously operated by hand, to be performed by stepping on a pedal using a hydraulic system, a wire system, an electric motor, etc. Remotely control valve opening and closing.

(B) Conventional technology When using conventional water rafts, when washing your hands and face, you would run water, rinse with water, apply soap to remove dirt, and then rinse the soap and dirt with water. During that time, I was running out of water and was wasting water while using soap.

(C) Problems that the invention aims to solve Since people are suffering from land subsidence due to pumping up groundwater and hearing problems due to lack of water, we thought that it would be possible to save water by using water effectively and without wasting it.

(D) Means to solve the problem Now, let me explain its structure: (a) When you step on the treadle (4) with your foot, the wire (2) is pulled. When you return your foot, the spring will push the footboard (4) and wire (2) back to their original positions.

(b) When the wire (2) is pulled, the lever of the operating rod (9) supported by the column (8) drops, and the part supported by the faucet (10) on the opposite side is pulled up, causing the faucet (
10) Water will come out.

(E) Effects of the invention Since water is controlled using a part of the body such as the feet, water can be saved because the water stop can be controlled frequently while using the hands freely.

Even if one person saves a small amount of water, if many people gather together over the course of a year, a considerable amount of water can be saved, and the more water is saved, the more water can be used.

(F) Other Embodiments A mixer faucet that mixes hot and cold water and adjusts the temperature, a water faucet, a one-touch small water heater, etc. Remotely controlled using a part of the body, such as the foot.

It can also be done by turning the piping (see Figure 2).

Claims (1)

[Claims] A structure that allows you to remotely control faucets and other devices that used to be turned on and off by hand, using parts of your body such as your feet instead of using your hands.
