Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a faucet, especially suitable to household and sanitary purposes, whose spout member can be adjustably oriented.
  • faucets whose spout member may be oriented.
  • the faucets for sinks generally have a spout swiveling around a vertical axis, while the faucets for bidets often have their spout mounted on a spherical articulation.
  • these faucets . with this kind of spout do not satisfy all the needs in their practical usage.
  • a sink faucet whose spout swivels around a vertical axis, allows the stream of water to reach a limited field of positions of the sink, but it does not allow either adjustment of the spout height or the inclination of the water stream.
  • the faucets for bidets allow adjustment with certain limits of the direction of the stream departing from a fixed spouting position next to the tub rim but they do not allow for adjustment of a stream directed upwardly, which would be preferred in some cases:
  • the present invention eliminates the inconveniences caused by the above-mentioned faucets whose spout may be oriented by making possible delivery ways which cannot be achieved with the known faucets.
  • the faucet according to this invention is composed of a linear spout member where both its ends are deflected at 90".
  • the first end of this member is pivotally connected to the faucet body and sealed for movement about a horizontal axis.
  • the second end is pivotally and sealingiy connected to a delivery head prearranged to deliver a stream at least approximately perpendicular to its axis of rotation relative to the corresponding end of the spout member.
  • the spout member, as constructed, can be rotated within certain limits relative to the faucet body around its respective horizontal axis which allows the spout member to swing in a vertical plane and therefore allows adjustment of inclination of the member and the height of the delivery head.
  • the head can be rotated relative to the spout member which adjusts the angle of the stream of water spouted by the head.
  • the combination of these two independent adjustments allows direction of the stream toward a desired point of a tub or sink with a desired inclination and starting from a desired height.
  • the stream can be directed not only toward the tub or sink but toward a recipient as well which is useful for a bidet or a water fountain.
  • the combination of the two mentioned adjustments provides a downwardly directed stream of variously inclinations toward the tub, like in the known faucets, and to provide as well an upwardly directed stream starting from a lower part of the tub below the faucet body.
  • the spout member can be composed of two parts telescopically connected. In this fashion, one can also regulate the useful length of the spout member by • extending the field of the positions to where the delivery head can be taken.
  • the telescopic connection can advantageously provide relative rotation of the joining spout sections to allow adjustment of the transverse inclination with which the water stream departs out of the delivery head.
  • the telescopic connection can eventually be provided of a locking metal ring so as to fix the two spout sections which form the spout member in the relative position.
  • the body itself of the faucet at least the part sealingiy connected with the spout member, can be pivotally mounted about a vertical axis, thus allowing the spout member a further degree of freedom and making the faucet very versatile.
  • the body can house the valving mechanism of the faucet that is operable independently of the position of the spout member or discharge head.
  • Fig. 1 shows one embodiment of a faucet whose spout has five degrees of adjustment
  • Fig. 2 shows a simplified embodiment suitable to a sink or washbasin with three degrees of adjustment
  • Fig. 3 shows another embodiment suitable for bidets showing the spout in one position
  • Fig. 4 shows the embodiment in Fig. 3 with the spout and delivery head in a different position.
  • the body of a faucet houses a single hand mixing valve having a cap 2 and a control lever 3.
  • the body 1 is swivelly mounted, at least within certain limits, around a vertical axis -a- as shown by the curved arrow A.
  • the body is the part from where the spout member extends excluding therefore the remaining faucet parts housed within the body. Therefore, only the faucet body swivels while the remaining parts housed therein are fixed.
  • the faucet here represented is not binding for the application of the invention.
  • This invention can be generally applied to a variety of faucet models, single tap or mixing valve, single or two handle, levers or knobs, and composed of only one body or two bodies connected by a manifold.
  • the body 1 is of course a part of the manifold.
  • a first section 4 of the spout member is generally linear and has a first end 5 deflected at 90° and is sealingiy connected to the faucet body 1 so as to rotate, at least within certain limits, around a horizontal axis -b- as shown by the curved arrow B.
  • a second section 6 of the spout member is telescopically and rotatably connected to the first section 4 and also sealed against water leakage.
  • the second section 6 has a distal end 7 deflected at 90".
  • the second section 6 of the spout can slide in the first part 4 along a certain length of the axis -c- as shown by the double arrow C, which allows adjustment of the effective length of the spout member.
  • the second section 6 of the spout member can rotate, at least within certain limits, in the first section 4 around the axis -c- as shown by the curved arrow C*.
  • the second section 6 of the spout member can be fixed to the first part 4 by an adequate friction or metal ring 8 by having it rotate in one direction as shown by the curved arrow C, to free section 6 of the spout member for rotation and sliding motion or to lock it in position with respect to section 4.
  • a delivery head 9 is sealingiy and rotatably mounted on the end 7 of the spout member section 6 within certain limits as shown by the curved arrow D, around an axis -d- approximately perpendicular to the axis -c-, the delivery head 9 provided with a delivery hole 10, provided with an aerator arranged to direct a water stream E perpendicular to the axis -d-.
  • the stream E can be widely adjusted in its direction, its position, and its height by combining the rotation of the body 1 around the axis -a-, the rotation of the first spout section 4 of the spout member around the axis -b-, the rotation and shifting of the second spout section 7 of the spout member along and around the axis -c- and the rotation of the delivery head 9 around the axis -d-.
  • a faucet in this fashion can be advantageously used with a sink or washbasin, where the stream E can be adjusted in a fashion not allowed by previously known faucets.
  • Fig. 1 incorporates all the degrees of freedom foreseen by the invention in its most complete application, it is often desirable to use a faucet with only the degrees of freedom associated with the axes -b- and -d-, so that in simplified embodiments like the ones represented in Figures 2 through 4, the mobility of the parts can be reduced to the said two axes, however, giving the faucet a higher versatility than the known faucets.
  • the faucet shown in Fig. 2 has a spout member 4 ' connected to the body 1 which cannot be extended in this case, whose end 7 pivotably mounts the delivery head 9.
  • the spout member consists of only one piece, it is opportune that the bendings of its two ends 5 and 7 lie on the same plane, and that the axis -b- and -d- are generally parallel.
  • the ends 5 and 7 can be bent on the same side, like the represented example, if a central installation of the body 1 is foreseen.
  • the spout member assumes a general C shape. These bendings can, however, be turned in opposite directions to give the spout member an S shape which can be desired if the body 1 is installed eccentric with respect to the basin.
  • the spout member 4 ' is dimensioned to make the faucet suitable to a sink or washbasin.
  • the faucet shown in Figures 3 and 4 is substantially similar to the one in Fig. 2 except that the spout member 4" is shorter which makes it suitable to a bidet.
  • the faucet accomplishes what more conventional spherically articulated spouts do.
  • this faucet also allows the spout member 4" to be lowered in the bathtub and allows the delivery head 9 to be pivoted upwardly as shown in Fig. 4 to form an upwardly directed stream which cannot be accomplished with the known faucets.
  • a non return check valve able to prevent the back flows be installed in the delivery head or within the faucet body.
  • the linear form of the spout member is essential in the first embodiment when it is composed of two sections that slide and rotate relative to one another. Otherwise, the linear form is optional and can even be replaced by another shape if it is considered aesthetically desirable.
  • the deflection of the spout member end connected to the faucet is accomplished by bending of the spout member, it must be understood that equivalents are possible without departing from the invention.
  • the end can be composed of an inserted head or be like a collar pivotally mounted on a relief laterally protruding from the faucet body.
  • the articulation joint between the spout member and the faucet body can even be spherical so long as it allows a sufficient rotation about a horizontal axis.
