FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a faucet installing assembly which is for a tap
that is mounted on a wash basin or a kitchen sink quick, easy and simple.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A conventional facet is installed in a narrow space below a basin which is located
in a kitchen or a bathroom.
[0003] 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.
[0004] 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.
[0005] 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.
[0006] 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.
[0007] 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.
[0008] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] One aspect of the present invention is to provide a faucet installing assembly which
is mounted on a basin of a kitchen sink or a wash basin in a bathroom quickly and
quickly.
[0010] To obtain the above aspects, a faucet installing assembly provided by the present
invention contains: a fixing device including a base, a screwing bolt, a connecting
bolt, and an affixing mount.
[0011] 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.
[0012] 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.
[0013] The connecting bolt includes a threaded aperture defined therein and screwing with
the threaded extension of the screwing bolt.
[0014] 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.
[0015] 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.
[0016] 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.

also includes a bottom cliff 42 defined between the two side cliffs 41; wherein the
bottom cliff 42 has a through hole 43 defined thereon to insert through the threaded
extension 22. The affixing mount 40 rotates between an inserting position P1 and a
stopping position P2 along the connecting bolt 30, as shown in FIG. 8. When the affixing
mount 40 is rotated toward the inserting position P1, it passes through the fixing
orifice 301 of the basin 300, and when the affixing mount 40 is rotated toward the
stopping position P2, the screwing bolt 20 is rotated on the basin 300 and is limited
by the isolation fence 114, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 9, and when the connecting
bolt 30 moves upward along the threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20, the
affixing mount 40 moves upward along the threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt
20 to contact with a bottom face 303 of the basin 300 tightly.
[0024] As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 10, the faucet device 200 includes a fitting orifice
201 defined on a bottom thereof and is mounted on the base 10. The faucet device 200
also includes a channel 202 defined therein, two connectors 203 disposed on the bottom
end thereof relative to the accommodating trench 112 of the base 10, and two inlet
pipes 204, each of which is in connection with each of the two connectors 203 and
is inserted through the accommodating trench 112 of the base 10, wherein one of the
two connectors 203 is a cold-water connector, and the other of the two connectors
203 is a hot-water connector; one of the two inlet pipes 204 is a cold-water inlet
pipe, and the other of the two inlet pipes 204 is a hot-water inlet pipe.
[0025] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixing device 100 further includes a returning
member 50 which is a pad 51 made of foam and is accommodated in a slot 44 defined
by the two opposite side cliffs 41 and the bottom cliff 42 of the affixing mount 40,
such that when the affixing mount 40 is manually rotated toward the inserting portion
P1 from the stopping position P2, the pad 51 is pressed by the threaded extension
22 of the screwing bolt 20 to deform flexibly, as shown in FIG. 8, and the pad 51
forces the affixing mount 40 to rotate back to the stopping position P2 via the fixing
orifice 301.
[0026] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 6, the fixing device 100 further includes a magnetic attracting
member 60 defined between the connecting bolt 30 and the isolation fence 114 of the
base 10, such that the connecting bolt 30 contacts with the isolation fence 114 and
moves upward along the screwing bolt 20.
[0027] The magnetic attracting member 60 has a first attraction part 61 formed in the connecting
bolt 30 and has a second attraction part 62 formed on the isolation fence 114. The
first attraction part 61 is one of a magnetic iron and a magnetic attracting material,
and the second attraction part 62 is the other of the magnetic iron and the magnetic
attracting material. In this embodiment, the first attraction part 61 is the magnetic
iron retained in the connecting bolt 30 relative to the isolation fence 114, and the
second attraction part 62 is an attraction strap made of the magnetic attracting material,
such as iron or steel. In addition, the second attraction part 62 is located in a
moving path of the connecting bolt 30.
[0028] Accordingly, the base 10 or the isolation fence 114 is made of magnetic attracting
material so as to form the second attraction part 62 in the moving path of the connecting
bolt 30.
[0029] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 10, the extending portion 12 of the base 10 has a longitudinal
locking block 126 and a locking notch 127 which are arranged on two opposite positions
of the extending portion 12 of the base 10. The faucet device 200 also includes a
coupling sleeve 205, the coupling hole 201 defined in the coupling sleeve 205, and
a vertical recess 206 formed in the coupling hole 201, such that the longitudinal
locking block 126 of the base 10 retains with the vertical recess 206 to limit a rotation
of the faucet device 200. Furthermore, a positioning bolt 207 inserts through the
coupling sleeve 205 to abut against the locking notch 127, such that a longitudinal
movement of the faucet device 200 on the base 10 is limited.
[0030] To fix the faucet installing assembly 1 on the basin 300, the affixing mount 40 of
the fixing device 100 is manually rotated toward the inserting position P1, the inserting
portion 11 of the base 10 is inserted into the fixing orifice 301 of the basin 300
with the affixing mount 40, wherein when the positioning rib 121 of the extending
portion 12 abuts against the top face 302 of the basin 300, the affixing mount 40
is forced by the pad 51 to automatically rotate back to the stopping position P2,
as illustrated in FIG. 8.
[0031] Thereafter, the screwing bolt 20 is rotated by a screwdriver to force the affixing
mount 40 to move upward along the threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20 by
ways of the magnetic attracting member 60 until the affixing mount 40 contacts with
the bottom face 303 of the basin 300 tightly, as illustrated in FIG 9, thus fixing
the faucet installing assembly 1 on the basin 300 by using the fixing device 100.
[0032] Thereafter, the vertical recess 206 of the faucet device 200 is aligned with the
longitudinal locking block 126 of the base 10, and the two inlet pipes 204 are inserted
through the groove 122, the opening 124 and the accommodating trench 112 of the base
10 so that the coupling hole 201 retains with the base 10 of the fixing device 100,
and the positioning bolt 207 is rotated tightly to abut against the locking notch
127 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 11, hence the faucet installing assembly 1 is mounted
on the basin 300.
[0033] With reference to FIGS. 12 and 14, a difference of a faucet installing assembly 1
of a second embodiment from that of the first embodiment comprises:
the returning member 50 being a torsion spring 52 fitted on the threaded extension
22 of the screwing bolt 20 proximate to the connecting bolt 30, wherein the torsion
spring 52 has a free segment 521, such that when the affixing mount 40 is manually
rotated toward the inserting position P1 from the stopping position P2, the free segment
521 is deformed flexibly by the bottom cliff 42 of the affixing mount 40 to push the
affixing mount 40 to automatically move back to the stopping position P2 via the fixing
orifice 301 of the basin 300.
[0034] With reference to FIGS. 15 and 17, a difference of a faucet installing assembly 1
of a third embodiment from that of the first embodiment comprises:
the returning member 50 being a torsion spring 53 fitted on the threaded extension
22 of the screwing bolt 20, wherein a first free segment 531 of the torsion spring
53 is inserted into the connecting bolt 30, and a second free segment 532 of the torsion
spring 53 is hooked on an outer one of the two opposite side cliffs 41, such that
when the affixing mount 40 is manually rotated toward the inserting position P1 from
the stopping position P2, the torsion spring 53 pushes the affixing mount 40 to move
back to the stopping position P2 via the fixing orifice 301 of the basin 300.
[0035] Referring to FIGS. 18 and 21, a difference of a faucet installing assembly 1 of a
fourth embodiment from that of the first embodiment comprises:
an affixing mount 40 including a guiding cliff 45 to replace the returning member
50 of the first embodiment, wherein the guiding cliff 45 is in connection with the
two opposite side cliffs 41 and has an arcuate forcing face 451 defined on an inner
surface thereof adjacent to the through hole 43, such that when the affixing mount
40 is located at the inserting position P1, the guiding cliff 45 is close to a distal
end of the threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20, as shown in FIG. 22. When
the connecting bolt 30 is rotated with the screwing bolt 20 to move upward along the
threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20, the distal end of the threaded extension
22 slides on the arcuate forcing face 451 to force the affixing mount 40 to rotate
toward the stopping position P2 as illustrated in FIG. 23 or to force the affixing
mount 40 to contact with the bottom face 303 of the basin 300 and to locate at the
stopping position P2.
[0036] Preferably, the distal end of the threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20 has
a bushing 23 fitted thereon, and wherein the bushing 23 has an arcuate face 231 sliding
on the arcuate forcing face 451 smoothly. The bushing 23 is screwed with or is adhered
with the threaded extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20.
[0037] As illustrated in FIG. 24, a difference of a faucet installing assembly 1 of a fourth
embodiment from that of the first embodiment comprises:
a sliding structure 70 for replacing the magnetic attracting member 60 of the first
embodiment. The sliding structure 70 is mounted between the connecting bolt 30 and
the isolation fence 114 so that the connecting bolt 30 moves upward along the threaded
extension 22 of the screwing bolt 20 and the isolation fence 114 of the base 10.
[0038] Preferably, the sliding structure 70 has a trough 71 and a slidable protrusion 72.
For example, the trough 71 is defined on the isolation fence 114, and the slidable
protrusion 72 extends outwardly from one end of the connecting bolt 30 relative to
the isolation fence 114.
[0039] Of course, the sliding structure 70 has magnetic attraction so that the slidable
protrusion 72 magnetically contacts with and moves along the trough 71.
[0040] Accordingly, the faucet installing assembly 1 of the present invention contains advantages
as follows:
- 1. The fixing device 100 and the faucet device 200 are mounted on the basin 300 easily
and quickly.
- 2. The fixing device 100 is adapted for the faucet device 200 of various specifications,
such as the channel 202 defined at a low position of the faucet device 200, hence
the channel 202, the two connectors 203, and the two inlet pipes 204 are not re-designed,
and the faucet device 200 is mounted on the basin 300 by means of the fixing device
100.
- 3. The isolation fence 114 of the base 10 limits a rotation of the affixing mount
40 so that the affixing mount 40 moves along the screwing bolt 20 and separates from
the two inlet pipes 204, and the affixing mount 40 is not stuck in a gap between the
two inlet pipes 204 as rotating toward the stopping position P2 from the inserting
position P1.
- 4. After the affixing mount 40 moves through the fixing orifice 301, the returning
member 50 (such as the pad 51 or the two torsion springs 52, 53) forces the affixing
mount 40 to move back to the stopping position P2 from the inserting position P1 by
using the pad 51 or the two torsion springs 52, 53, thus contacting the affixing mount
40 with the bottom face 303 of the basin 300.
- 5. The guiding cliff 45 of the affixing mount 40 cooperates with the bushing 23 of
the screwing bolt 20 so that the screwing bolt 20 is rotated to force the affixing
mount 40 to rotate toward the stopping position P2 from the inserting position P1
and then to contact with the bottom face 303 of the basin 300 tightly, after the affixing
mount 40 moves through the fixing orifice 301. Moreover, the guiding cliff 45 is one
piece formed on the affixing mount 40 to reduce production cost.
- 6. The affixing mount 40 stably moves upward along the solation fence 114 by ways
of the magnetic attracting member 60 to contact with the basin 300 securely, and the
screwing bolt 20 is rotated stably by using the affixing mount 40.
- 7. The affixing mount 40 stably moves upward along the solation fence 114 by means
of the sliding structure 70, and the screwing bolt 20 is rotated smoothly, such that
the affixing mount 40 contacts with the basin 300 fixedly. Preferably, the sliding
structure 70 has the magnetic attraction to enhance operating stability of the connecting
bolt 30.
