The remote control type drain plug device of the first conventional example adopting the operation unit illustrated in FIG. 38 includes a drain plug body, a valve member, a valve support member, a release wire, an operation unit, an elbow member described below. Being done.
The drain plug body is a substantially cylindrical member that forms a drain port therein, and has a male screw portion on the outer surface thereof.
The valve member includes a disc-shaped valve body that closes the drain port and a fitting portion provided at the center of the lower surface of the valve body.
The support member is a member that is housed and fixed in the drain port, and is housed and fixed in the drain port in a state in which an end portion of a release wire described below is connected and fixed.
The release wire includes a hollow outer tube that is flexible in the lateral direction and rigid in the axial direction, an inner wire that is housed inside the outer tube and that is slidable in the axial direction, and one of the inner wires. And a return shaft (not shown) that urges the inner wire toward the operating portion side.
The elbow member includes an opening provided with a female threaded portion that is screwed with a male threaded portion of the drain plug body, a discharge port for discharging wastewater flowing from the drainage port to the sewage side, and an insertion tube that communicates the release wire. Prepare.
The operation unit includes an operation unit main body, a nut member, an operation shaft support unit, and a button member described below.
The operation unit main body has a substantially cylindrical shape. The outer surface of the upper end portion of the cylindrical shape has a flange protruding continuously outward along the periphery, and the inner surface of the lower end portion of the cylindrical shape extends along the periphery. In this way, projecting portions that project continuously inward are provided. Moreover, it is a side surface of the operation part main body, Comprising: The external thread part is provided under the collar part.
The nut member includes a female screw portion that is screwed with a male screw portion of the operation portion main body.
The operation shaft support part is a cylindrical member, and one end of the outer tube of the release wire is connected to the lower end portion of the operation shaft, and an operation shaft with the lower end abutting on the inner wire is provided therein. Prepare. In addition, a mechanism called a thrust lock mechanism that functions by utilizing a return spring of a release wire at the time of completion of construction is provided inside the operation shaft support portion. Each time the thrust lock mechanism is pushed into the operating shaft from above, the operating shaft is moved forward (lowered), fixed / unlocked, and urged by the inner wire of the release wire to move backward (up). It works to repeat.
The button member is a disk-shaped member having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner peripheral surface of the operation unit main body, and includes a cylindrical portion at the center of the lower surface, and this cylindrical portion is fitted to the tip of the operation shaft. It is comprised as follows.
Moreover, the remote control type drain plug device which consists of said each member is constructed to the bathtub which is a tank body as described below.
The bathtub is a box that is open at the top, and has a drain plug mounting hole for mounting a drain plug on the bottom surface, and a through hole for mounting an operation portion on the periphery of the upper opening.

上記のように構成した遠隔操作式排水栓装置を槽体である浴槽に取り付ける場合、まず、浴槽等に設けた排水栓取付孔の周縁を介して排水栓本体とエルボ部材を螺合させ、排水栓取付孔に排水栓本体とエルボ部材を取り付け固定する。
次に、浴槽上縁部に設けられた貫通孔に、操作部本体を挿通し、貫通孔の周縁上面に、操作部本体の鍔部下面が当接した状態で、下方からナット部材を操作部本体に螺合させて、貫通孔の周縁を鍔部とナット部材とで挟持させて、操作部本体を貫通孔に取り付け固定する。
更にレリースワイヤを、操作軸支持部材に接続した上で、弁軸側から操作部本体に挿入し、操作部本体内に操作軸支持部を収納固定する。
また、レリースワイヤの先端を、エルボ部材の挿通筒に挿通した上で、排水口内部から、ラジオペンチなどの治具を利用しつつ、浴槽内部側に引き上げる。
この状態より、レリースワイヤの端部を支持部材に接続し、更に支持部材を排水口内に取り付け固定する。その後、インナーワイヤ端部の弁軸部を、弁部材の嵌合部に嵌合させる。
更に操作軸に、ボタン部材を嵌合させて、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の取り付けが完了する。
When attaching the remote-operated drain plug device configured as described above to a bathtub that is a tank body, first, the drain plug body and the elbow member are screwed together via the peripheral edge of the drain plug mounting hole provided in the bathtub, etc. Attach and fix the drain plug body and elbow member to the plug mounting hole.
Next, the operation member main body is inserted into the through hole provided at the upper edge of the bathtub, and the nut member is operated from below with the nut lower surface in contact with the upper peripheral surface of the through hole. The operation unit main body is attached and fixed to the through hole by being screwed to the main body and holding the periphery of the through hole between the flange portion and the nut member.
Furthermore, after connecting the release wire to the operation shaft support member, the release shaft is inserted into the operation portion main body from the valve shaft side, and the operation shaft support portion is housed and fixed in the operation portion main body.
Further, after the tip of the release wire is inserted into the insertion tube of the elbow member, the release wire is pulled up from the drain outlet to the inside of the bathtub while using a jig such as radio pliers.
From this state, the end of the release wire is connected to the support member, and the support member is attached and fixed in the drain outlet. Thereafter, the valve shaft portion at the end of the inner wire is fitted into the fitting portion of the valve member.
Further, the button member is fitted to the operation shaft, and the installation of the remote control type drain plug device is completed.

上記第一の従来例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置を使用する場合、まず操作部のボタン部材に操作を加えて弁体が排水口を閉口した状態、即ちレリースワイヤのインナーワイヤが操作部側に後退し、弁部材が降下した状態とする。この状態よりボタン部材に押し込み操作を加えて、インナーワイヤを排水口側に前進させると、インナーワイヤ先端の弁軸部が上昇して弁部材を押上げ、弁体が上昇して排水口を開口する。この開口状態は、スラストロック機構によって維持固定される。
この状態よりボタン部材に再度押し込み操作を加えてスラストロック機構の操作軸の固定状態を解除すると、弁部材の自重や戻りスプリングの作用により、インナーワイヤが操作部側に後退し、弁軸部が下降するため、弁軸部に押し上げられていた弁部材も降下して弁体が排水口を閉口する。以後この操作を繰り返すことで排水口の開閉を自在に操作することができる。
When using the remote control type drain plug device according to the first conventional example, first, the button member of the operation unit is operated to close the drain port, that is, the inner wire of the release wire is on the operation unit side. The valve member moves backward and the valve member is lowered. If the button member is pushed from this state and the inner wire is advanced to the drain port side, the valve shaft at the tip of the inner wire rises to push up the valve member and the valve body rises to open the drain port. To do. This open state is maintained and fixed by a thrust lock mechanism.
From this state, when the button member is pushed in again and the operation shaft of the thrust lock mechanism is released from the fixed state, the inner wire retracts toward the operation portion due to the weight of the valve member or the action of the return spring, and the valve shaft portion Since it descends, the valve member pushed up by the valve shaft part also descends and the valve body closes the drain port. Thereafter, by repeating this operation, the drain outlet can be freely opened and closed.

上記第一の従来例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置によれば、操作部を取り付ける貫通孔を備えた壁面と、操作部本体、特に鍔部との間に、継ぎ目部分が生じることとなる。
鍔部と槽体内面とは素材が異なる場合が多く、色調、質感に相違が生じて意匠性が悪くなる。また、継ぎ目部分はデザイン的には不要な凹凸であり、決して見栄えが良い物ではなく、この点でも意匠性が悪化する。
また、この継ぎ目部分に槽体内の排水などが触れると、表面張力によってそのまま排水が残り、排水が蒸発した時排水中のゴミや塵芥などが付着する、といった問題がある。また継ぎ目部分の端部は小さな段差になり、ブラシ等が入れにくく、清掃性がきわめて悪くなる、といった問題もあった。
According to the remote control type drain plug device of the first conventional example, a seam portion is generated between the wall surface provided with the through hole to which the operation portion is attached and the operation portion main body, particularly the collar portion.
The material of the heel part and the inner surface of the tank body are often different, resulting in a difference in color tone and texture, resulting in poor design. Further, the seam portion is unevenness that is unnecessary in terms of design, and it is not a good-looking thing, and the design is also deteriorated in this respect.
In addition, when the drainage in the tank touches the joint, the drainage remains as it is due to surface tension, and when the drainage evaporates, dirt or dust in the drainage adheres. In addition, there is a problem that the end portion of the joint portion has a small step, it is difficult to insert a brush or the like, and the cleaning property is extremely deteriorated.

これに対して、貫通孔の開口の下方に操作部本体を取り付け、槽体の表側からは、操作部の部材の内、ボタン部材だけが露出するようにし、少なくとも槽体の表側からフランジ部を無くす、いわゆるフランジレス化と呼ばれる方法が検討されている(あくまで槽体の表側からフランジ部を無くすものであって、槽体の裏側等、使用者の見えない部分にはフランジ部が存在する場合でも、槽体の表側からフランジ部が見えなければフランジレス化と呼ばれる)。例えば特許文献2に示したような、洗面台等によく利用される第二の従来例のように、排水口の開閉に関係なく、常に棒状のボタン部材が貫通孔から突出しているような様態の遠隔操作式排水栓装置の操作部には、単純に操作部本体を貫通孔の周縁の裏側の面に取り付けることで、支障無くフランジレス化を行うことができる。   On the other hand, the operation part main body is attached below the opening of the through hole, and from the front side of the tank body, only the button member is exposed from among the members of the operation part, and at least the flange part is provided from the front side of the tank body. The so-called flange-less method has been studied (when the flange is removed from the front side of the tank body, and there is a flange part on the back side of the tank body that is not visible to the user. However, if the flange is not visible from the front side of the tank body, it is called flangeless). For example, as shown in Patent Document 2, as in the second conventional example often used for a washstand or the like, a state in which a bar-shaped button member always protrudes from a through-hole regardless of opening and closing of a drain outlet. By simply attaching the operation unit body to the back surface of the periphery of the through hole, the operation unit of the remote control type drain plug device can be made flangeless without any trouble.

しかしながら、第一の従来例のような、浴槽等に多く採用される遠隔操作式排水栓装置においては、以下のような理由から、単純に操作部本体を操作部の下方から取り付けることでフランジレス化を行うことはできなかった。尚、説明を容易にするため、以下の理由1.乃至理由3において、特に断りのない場合、「ボタン部材の表側の面の位置」に関係する表現は、「排水口が閉口し、且つ使用者が何らかの操作を遠隔操作式排水栓装置に行っていない状態における、ボタン部材の表側の面の位置」を示すものである
理由1.浴槽においては、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の操作部は浴槽の一部、特に浴槽の開口周縁の平端面に操作部を配置する場合が多い。ところで、浴槽、特に住宅用の浴槽においては、浴槽内部の浴湯の温度を保温するため、浴槽の開口に風呂蓋を被せて使用する場合がほとんどである。このため、ボタン部材の表側の面が貫通孔周縁の表側の面よりも突出していると、風呂蓋を被せた際に風呂蓋の重みによってボタン部材が操作部本体のフランジ部の上面と面一となるまで押し込まれ、その結果誤って遠隔操作式排水栓装置が作動して排水口を開口してしまい、浴湯を排出してしまう、という問題があった。例えば浴槽の内部など、風呂蓋を被せてもボタン部材が触れることがない部分に、操作部のボタン部材を配置すれば、風呂蓋を被せることによる誤作動は防止できるが、このようにすると、浴槽内にボタン部材による不必要な凹凸を設けることで浴槽の使用者に不快感を与えるし、更には浴槽の使用者が入浴中にボタン部材の側の壁にもたれかかったり、身体を伸ばしたりする際にボタン部材に触れてしまい、ボタン部材が押し込まれ、やはり遠隔操作式排水栓装置が作動して排水口を開口し、浴湯を排出してしまう、という問題があった。更に付言すれば、そもそも遠隔操作式排水栓装置自体が、「槽体の内部に溜まった排水に触れることなく排水口を開閉して排水を排出したい」という要望に基づいて発明されたものであるから、排水が溜まっている槽体内部に操作部を配置することは本末転倒であると言える。
理由2.上記理由1.に記載された問題を回避するための方法として、ボタン部材や操作軸の長さを設計段階で調整するなどして、ボタン部材の表側の面の位置を、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置とほぼ同じ位置、即ち略同一面とすることができれば、上記した理由1.のような問題は回避できる。しかしながら、浴槽などの槽体の厚みは、品物によってまちまちであり、一定していない(多くは4ミリメートルから10ミリメートル程度の間である)。これは槽体以外の、槽体の近傍に設けた壁面などでも同様である。このため、例えば操作部を取り付ける貫通孔を設けた壁面を10ミリメートルとして設計した遠隔操作式排水栓装置を、壁面の厚みが4ミリメートルの槽体に取り付けると、ボタン部材の表側の面は、貫通孔周縁の表側の面から6ミリメートルも突出してしまい、略同一面とならず、前述した理由1.のような問題が生じる。逆に、操作部を取り付ける貫通孔を設けた壁面を4ミリメートルとして設計した遠隔操作式排水栓装置を、壁面の厚みが6ミリメートルの槽体に取り付けると、ボタン部材の表側の面は、貫通孔周縁の表側の面から6ミリメートルも落ちくぼんだ部分に配置されてしまい、略同一面とならず、後述する理由3.のような問題が生じる。
上記のような問題を回避するため、槽体の種類ごとに排水装置本体など操作部の部材を設計・製造すると、極端な多品種・小ロット製造になり、製造コスト・部材管理の面から現実的ではない。また、実際には槽体に貫通孔を開口加工する際の仕上げの状態によって、同じ種類の槽体でも貫通孔周縁の壁面の厚みに個体差が生じる場合があり、設計による操作部の部材の形状調整によって、ボタン部材の表側の面の位置を、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置とほぼ同じ位置、即ち略同一面とすることは困難である。
理由3.上記理由1.に記載された問題を回避するための方法として、ボタン部材や操作軸の長さを設計段階で調整し、ボタン部材の表側の面の位置を、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置よりも落ちくぼんだ位置となるようにする方法が考えられる。例えば、操作部を取り付ける槽体の壁面が4ミリメートルの場合に、ボタン部材の表側の面の位置が、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置より1ミリメートルほど窪んだ位置となるように設計した遠隔操作式排水栓装置では、操作部を壁面の厚みが10ミリメートルの壁面に設けた貫通孔に取り付けても、ボタン部材は槽体の表側の面から7ミリメートル落ちくぼんだ部分となり、程度の差があるものの、ボタン部材の表側の面の位置が、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置よりも落ちくぼんだ位置となる点は同一である。このように、貫通孔の壁面の厚みに関係なく、ボタン部材の表側の面が、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置よりも常に落ちくぼんだ位置となるように製品を設計することは可能である。また、この構成であれば、浴槽に風呂蓋を被せたり使用者の身体が触れるなどにより遠隔操作式排水栓装置が誤作動することもなくなり、機能的な問題は解決する。しかしながら、このような、ボタン部材の表側の面が、貫通孔の周縁の表側の面の位置よりも常に落ちくぼんだ位置となる構成は、平面上に凹が生じるため、意匠性が極めて悪い。更に、貫通孔内のボタン部材上に排水やゴミが溜まり、外観と共に衛生性も悪くなる。また、貫通孔の内側面とボタン部材の表側の面の周縁部分などは角となり、ブラシ等が入れにくく、清掃性がきわめて悪くなる、といった問題も生じる。結果的には、意匠性また清掃性、衛生性において、第一の従来例よりも悪いものとなってしまい、問題の解決にはほど遠いものとなってしまう。
However, in the remote-operated drain plug device that is often used in bathtubs and the like as in the first conventional example, it is flangeless by simply attaching the operation unit body from below the operation unit for the following reasons. Could not be done. For ease of explanation, the following reasons 1. Throughout reason 3, unless otherwise specified, the expression related to “the position of the front surface of the button member” is “the drain is closed and the user is performing some operation on the remote-controlled drain plug device”. Reason for indicating the position of the front surface of the button member in the absence of In a bathtub, the operation part of the remote-operated drain plug device often arranges the operation part on a part of the bathtub, particularly on the flat end surface of the opening periphery of the bathtub. By the way, in a bathtub, especially a residential bathtub, in order to keep the temperature of the bath water inside the bathtub, in most cases, the opening of the bathtub is covered with a bath lid. For this reason, if the front side surface of the button member protrudes from the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole, the button member is flush with the upper surface of the flange portion of the operation unit main body due to the weight of the bath lid when the bath lid is put on. As a result, there is a problem that the remote-operated drain plug device is accidentally activated to open the drain port, and the bath water is discharged. For example, if you place the button member of the operation unit on the part where the button member does not touch even if you cover the bath lid, such as inside the bathtub, you can prevent malfunction due to covering the bath lid, but in this way, Unnecessary unevenness due to the button member in the bathtub gives discomfort to the user of the bathtub, and further, the user of the bathtub leans against the wall on the side of the button member while taking a bath or stretches the body In doing so, there was a problem that the button member was touched and the button member was pushed in, the remote-operated drain plug device was activated to open the drain port, and the bath water was discharged. In addition, the remote-operated drain plug device itself was originally invented based on the desire to open and close the drain opening without touching the drainage accumulated inside the tank body. Therefore, it can be said that placing the operation part inside the tank body in which the wastewater is accumulated is a tip-over.
Reason 2 Reason 1 above. As a method for avoiding the problem described in the above, the position of the front surface of the button member is adjusted to the position of the front surface of the periphery of the through hole by adjusting the length of the button member or the operation shaft at the design stage. If it is possible to make the position substantially the same as the position, that is, substantially the same plane, the above-described reason 1. Such problems can be avoided. However, the thickness of a tank body such as a bathtub varies depending on the goods and is not constant (many is between about 4 millimeters and 10 millimeters). The same applies to a wall surface provided in the vicinity of the tank body other than the tank body. For this reason, for example, when a remote-operated drain plug device designed to have a wall surface with a through hole for attaching an operation portion as 10 millimeters is attached to a tank body with a wall surface thickness of 4 millimeters, the surface on the front side of the button member 6 mm protrudes from the surface on the front side of the peripheral edge of the hole and is not substantially the same surface. The following problems arise. On the contrary, when the remote-operated drain plug device designed to have a wall surface with a through hole for attaching the operation part as 4 mm is attached to a tank body having a wall thickness of 6 mm, the surface on the front side of the button member is a through hole. 2. It is arranged in a recessed part of 6 mm from the surface on the front side of the peripheral edge and is not substantially the same surface, and will be described later. The following problems arise.
In order to avoid the above problems, designing and manufacturing the operation unit members such as the drainage device body for each type of tank body will result in an extremely wide variety and small lot production, which is a reality in terms of manufacturing cost and material management. Not right. In fact, depending on the finishing state when opening the through hole in the tank body, there may be individual differences in the wall thickness of the periphery of the through hole even with the same type of tank body. By adjusting the shape, it is difficult to make the position of the surface on the front side of the button member substantially the same as the position of the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole, that is, substantially the same surface.
Reason 3. Reason 1 above. As a method for avoiding the problem described in the above, the length of the button member or the operation shaft is adjusted at the design stage, and the position of the front surface of the button member is set to be larger than the position of the front surface of the peripheral edge of the through hole. A method of making the position depressed is conceivable. For example, when the wall surface of the tank body to which the operation unit is attached is 4 mm, the position of the surface on the front side of the button member is designed to be recessed by about 1 mm from the position of the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole. In the remote control type drain plug device, even if the operation part is attached to the through hole provided on the wall surface having a wall thickness of 10 millimeters, the button member becomes a recessed portion of 7 millimeters from the surface on the front side of the tank body. However, the position of the surface of the button member on the front side is the same as that of the surface of the surface of the through hole on the front side. Thus, regardless of the thickness of the wall surface of the through-hole, it is possible to design the product so that the surface on the front side of the button member is always depressed more than the position of the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through-hole. It is. Also, with this configuration, the remote-operated drain plug device will not malfunction due to a bath lid on the bathtub or touching the user's body, and the functional problem is solved. However, such a configuration in which the surface on the front side of the button member is always depressed relative to the position on the front side of the peripheral edge of the through hole is extremely poor in design because a recess is formed on the plane. Furthermore, drainage and dust accumulate on the button member in the through hole, and the hygiene as well as the appearance deteriorates. In addition, the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the peripheral portion of the front surface of the button member are corners, which causes a problem that it is difficult to insert a brush or the like and the cleaning property is extremely deteriorated. As a result, the design, cleanability, and hygiene are worse than those of the first conventional example, and the problem is far from being solved.

本発明は、上記の課題に鑑みて成されたものであり、その目的とする処は、従来例においては、操作部の表側の面が、貫通孔周縁の表側の面と略同一とする必要がある遠隔操作式排水栓装置において、操作部のフランジレス化を達成しつつ、浴槽に風呂蓋などを被せるなどしても誤作動が生じることが無く、意匠性また清掃性、衛生性においても従来品より向上した遠隔操作式排水栓装置を提供するものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems.

The remote control type drain plug device of the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is constructed and attached to the bathtub B which is a tank body as follows. Although not described in detail, even in the case where there is no particular description, watertight connection is performed by using packing or the like at a portion where watertightness is required at a connection portion between members.
First, in a factory or the like, a connecting member is attached and fixed to the tank body drain port 12. In attaching the tank body outlet 12 and the connecting member, the connecting member is disposed below the bathtub B, and then the tank body outlet 12 and the drainage apparatus outlet 15 are arranged concentrically using a jig or the like. Then, the screw member V is screwed into the screw hole portion 13 through the opening of the flange portion 16, and the connecting member is attached and fixed from below the bathtub B.
Also, a part of the remote-operated drain plug device is assembled at the same factory according to the following procedure.
The operation shaft support 2 is connected to the end of the release wire 11 on the side where the valve shaft 11c is not provided, and then the release wire 11 is inserted into the operation portion main body 1 from above so that the operation shaft support 2 is locked. The step portion 28 is engaged with the locking teeth 25 of the operation portion main body 1. At this time, the operation shaft support portion 2 is disposed so that the locked stepped portion 28 is engaged with the locking teeth 25 and is located at the uppermost position of the operation portion main body 1.
Next, after inserting the ring member 29 into the release wire 11, the release wire 11 is inserted from the inside of the insertion tube 19 of the drain plug main body 8, and the end of the release wire 11 is arranged inside the drain plug main body 8.

Since work on these bathtubs B and remote-controlled drain plug devices is performed in the factory, a large work space can be taken, a work table that facilitates the work is installed, and the work is performed in an environment where equipment is available. be able to. Furthermore, since the assembly of the remote-operated drain plug device itself is not connected to the bathtub B, members such as the drain plug main body 8 and the operation unit main body 1 are placed at hand so that the operator can easily see and work. In addition, the work can be performed while being arranged at a position / angle at which it is easy to work, or moved / rotated. For this reason, the assembly operation of the remote-operated drain plug device up to this stage can be made much easier than in the conventional example. In this manner, the drain plug body 8 side of the remote-controlled drain plug device of the first embodiment is assembled to the state shown in FIG.

次に、上記段落0025の段階まで組み立てられた浴槽B及び遠隔操作式排水栓装置と、その他の部材を、施工現場に搬入する。施工現場では、排水栓本体8側、操作部側にそれぞれ以下のような作業が行われる。
排水栓本体8側では、排水栓本体8の上面の開口に、接続部材の下端部分を挿入し、排水栓本体8の排水栓側係合部17と、接続部材の排水栓側係合部17とを当接させる。更に排水栓側C字リング21を両排水栓側係合部17と係合させ、排水栓本体8と接続部材とを接続固定する。
このような接続を行う事で、接続部材と排水栓本体8は高さ方向に対しては常に同じ高さ位置、即ち操作部本体1の操作部側係合部32と、接続アダプターの操作部側係合部32とが当接した状態となる高さ位置に接続される。このため、接続部材に設けられた止水面16aに対して、排水栓本体8は定まった高さ位置に配置される。
Next, the bathtub B and the remote-operated drain plug device assembled up to the stage of paragraph 0025 and other members are carried into the construction site. At the construction site, the following operations are performed on the drain plug body 8 side and the operation unit side, respectively.
On the drain plug body 8 side, the lower end portion of the connection member is inserted into the opening on the upper surface of the drain plug body 8, and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the drain plug body 8 and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the connection member. And abut. Further, the drain plug side C-shaped ring 21 is engaged with both drain plug side engaging portions 17 to connect and fix the drain plug body 8 and the connection member.
By making such a connection, the connecting member and the drain plug body 8 are always at the same height position in the height direction, that is, the operation part side engaging part 32 of the operation part body 1 and the operation part of the connection adapter. It is connected to a height position where the side engaging portion 32 comes into contact. For this reason, the drain plug main body 8 is arranged at a fixed height position with respect to the water stop surface 16a provided on the connection member.

操作部側では、貫通孔Hに、位置決め冶具7の取り合い調整部7bを挿通する。この時には、図5に示したように、貫通孔H周縁の上面に、当接リブ7aの下面が当接するまで挿通する。
この状態より、操作部本体1の内部に、取り合い調整部7bを挿通しつつ、操作部を貫通孔Hの下方に配置する。この時、位置決め冶具7の取り合い調整部7bは、操作部本体1が貫通孔H周縁の上面に対して傾いたり、位置ずれした状態で施工されることを防ぐガイドとして機能する。更に、操作部本体1を上昇させると、図6に示したように、操作軸支持部2の操作軸2a以外の上面が、取り合い調整部7bの下端に当接する。この状態より更に操作部本体1を上昇させると、操作部本体1のスリット部24が拡径し、被係止段部28と係止歯25との係合が一段分上下にずれて、操作軸支持部2が操作部本体1に対して位置を降下させる。更に操作部本体1を上昇させると、操作部本体1に対して操作軸支持部2が降下してゆき、最終的に、図7に示したように、操作部本体1の上縁である鍔部23上面が貫通孔H周縁の裏側の面に当接した状態となる。この状態となったところで、リング部材29を押し上げ、操作部本体1の溝部に嵌合させる。これにより、操作部本体1のスリット部24の拡径が不可能となり、操作部本体1に対して操作軸支持部2が上下方向に移動不能となって固定される。
この時、操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置は、位置決め冶具7によって、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔Hの周縁の表側の面と略同一面となる位置になるように調整されて固定されている。
即ち、本実施例は、係止歯25と被係止段部28からなる位置調整機構により、操作部本体1と操作軸支持部2との間で、操作軸2aの軸方向に対して位置を調節し、固定する機能を備えた遠隔操作式排水栓装置である。また、この実施例において位置調節機構による位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28が上下方向に1ミリメートル単位にて構成されていることから、1ミリメートルという一定のピッチを単位として行われるように構成されている。
尚、本実施例におけるボタン部材3の位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28のピッチである1ミリメートル単位にて行われる。このため、本実施例で言う「略同一面」とは、できる限りボタン部材3の表側の面と貫通孔H周縁の表側の面との段差が無くなる、両者の高低差が1ミリメートル以内となった状態を言う。また、本実施例では、意匠的な観点から、この略面一とする場合において、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも上方に突出するように操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置を調整するものとし、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも下方に配置されることはないものとする。
この状態より、操作部本体1の鍔部23の開口を介してビス部材Vを貫通孔H側のビス穴部13に螺合させ、操作部本体1を浴槽Bの下方から取り付け固定した後、位置決め冶具7を貫通孔Hから引き抜く。
更に浴槽Bの表側から弁部材10を弁軸部11cに、ボタン部材3を操作軸2aに、それぞれ嵌合固定させて、図1に示したような、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の施工が完了する。
On the operation part side, the contact adjusting part 7 b of the positioning jig 7 is inserted into the through hole H. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, it is inserted until the lower surface of the contact rib 7a contacts the upper surface of the periphery of the through hole H.
From this state, the operation unit is disposed below the through hole H while the engagement adjusting unit 7 b is inserted into the operation unit main body 1. At this time, the contact adjusting portion 7b of the positioning jig 7 functions as a guide for preventing the operation portion main body 1 from being installed in a state where the operation portion main body 1 is inclined or displaced with respect to the upper surface of the periphery of the through hole H. Further, when the operation portion main body 1 is raised, the upper surface of the operation shaft support portion 2 other than the operation shaft 2a comes into contact with the lower end of the contact adjusting portion 7b as shown in FIG. When the operation unit main body 1 is further raised from this state, the slit portion 24 of the operation unit main body 1 is expanded in diameter, and the engagement between the locked stepped portion 28 and the locking teeth 25 is shifted up and down by one step. The shaft support 2 lowers the position with respect to the operation unit main body 1. When the operation unit body 1 is further raised, the operation shaft support unit 2 is lowered with respect to the operation unit body 1, and finally, as shown in FIG. The upper surface of the portion 23 comes into contact with the surface on the back side of the periphery of the through hole H. When this state is reached, the ring member 29 is pushed up and fitted into the groove portion of the operation portion main body 1. Thereby, the diameter of the slit part 24 of the operation part main body 1 cannot be increased, and the operation shaft support part 2 cannot be moved in the vertical direction with respect to the operation part main body 1 and is fixed.
At this time, the position of the operation shaft support portion 2 with respect to the operation portion main body 1 is determined by the positioning jig 7 so that the front side surface of the button member 3 becomes substantially the same surface as the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H when the construction is completed. Adjusted and fixed so that it is in position.
That is, in this embodiment, the position adjusting mechanism including the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28 is positioned between the operating portion main body 1 and the operating shaft support portion 2 with respect to the axial direction of the operating shaft 2a. This is a remote-operated drain plug device with the function of adjusting and fixing the pressure. Further, in this embodiment, the position adjustment by the position adjustment mechanism is performed in units of a constant pitch of 1 millimeter since the locking teeth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28 are configured in the vertical direction in units of 1 millimeter. Configured to be done.
In addition, the position adjustment of the button member 3 in the present embodiment is performed in units of 1 millimeter which is the pitch between the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28. For this reason, “substantially the same surface” as used in this embodiment means that there is no step between the front side surface of the button member 3 and the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H, and the height difference between them is within 1 mm. Say the state. Further, in the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of design, the position of the operation shaft support portion 2 with respect to the operation portion main body 1 so that the button member 3 protrudes upward from the peripheral edge of the through hole H in the case of being substantially flush. It is assumed that the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is not disposed below the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole H.
From this state, after screwing the screw member V into the screw hole portion 13 on the through hole H side through the opening of the flange portion 23 of the operation portion main body 1, and fixing the operation portion main body 1 from below the bathtub B, The positioning jig 7 is pulled out from the through hole H.
Further, from the front side of the bathtub B, the valve member 10 is fitted and fixed to the valve shaft portion 11c, and the button member 3 is fitted and fixed to the operation shaft 2a, so that the construction of the remotely operated drain plug device as shown in FIG. 1 is completed. To do.

上記のように施工された第一実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置は、以下のように操作することで、遠隔操作により排水装置排水口15を開閉できる。
まず、図1のように、弁部材10が降下し、弁部材10の当接部22が止水面16aに当接している状態とする。この時の操作部の状態は、図9に示したようになる。この状態において操作部のボタン部材3に押し込み操作を加えると、図10に示したように、ボタン部材3内部の弾性部材4がまず1.5ミリメートルほど収縮する。この弾性部材4の収縮段階においては、操作軸2aは何ら動作しない。尚、このボタン部材3を押し込んでも、弾性部材4が収縮するだけで、操作軸2aが動作しない状態を以降「空押し」と呼ぶ。弾性部材4が充分に収縮し、これ以上収縮できなくなると、図11に示したように、弾性部材4を介しボタン部材3に押されるようにして操作軸2aが押し込まれる。これにより、操作軸2aがインナーワイヤ11b側に突出し、それに伴ってインナーワイヤ11bがアウターチューブ11aに対し排水装置排水口15側へ突出し、弁部材10を押し上げて、止水面16aから当接部22が離間され、図13に示したように排水装置排水口15を開口する。使用者がボタン部材3の押し込みを終了させると、スラストロック機構により、この状態にて操作軸2aが固定され、排水装置排水口15の開口状態が維持される。また、弾性部材4も開放され、図12に示したように、収縮状態から1.5ミリメートルほど伸張した状態に戻る。
この状態から再度操作部のボタン部材3に押し込み操作を加えると、図11に示したように、やはり1.5ミリメートルほど空押しした上で、弾性部材4が充分に収縮し、これ以上収縮できなくなり、ボタン部材3に押されるようにして操作軸2aが押し込まれる。これによってスラストロック機構が動作し、スラストロック機構による操作軸2aの固定が解除される。このため、使用者がボタン部材3の押し込みを終了させると、弁部材10の自重及び戻りスプリングの作用によりインナーワイヤ11bが操作部側に後退し、弁部材10が降下して当接部22と止水面16aとが当接し、排水装置排水口15が閉口した図1の状態に戻る。また、弾性部材4も開放され、収縮状態から1.5ミリメートルほど伸張した、図9に示した状態に戻る。
以後、同様の操作を繰り返すことで、遠隔操作的に、排水装置排水口15の開口/閉口を行うことができ、開口時には浴槽B内の排水を排出することができる。
The remote control type drain plug device of the first embodiment constructed as described above can open and close the drainage device drain port 15 by remote operation by operating as follows.
First, as shown in FIG. 1, the valve member 10 is lowered, and the contact portion 22 of the valve member 10 is in contact with the water stop surface 16a. The state of the operation unit at this time is as shown in FIG. When a push operation is applied to the button member 3 of the operation unit in this state, the elastic member 4 inside the button member 3 first contracts by about 1.5 millimeters as shown in FIG. In the contraction stage of the elastic member 4, the operation shaft 2a does not operate at all. The state in which the operating shaft 2a does not operate when the button member 3 is pushed and the elastic member 4 only contracts is hereinafter referred to as “empty pressing”. When the elastic member 4 is sufficiently contracted and cannot be contracted any more, the operation shaft 2a is pushed in such a manner that it is pushed by the button member 3 through the elastic member 4 as shown in FIG. Thereby, the operation shaft 2a protrudes toward the inner wire 11b, and accordingly, the inner wire 11b protrudes toward the drainage device drainage port 15 with respect to the outer tube 11a, pushes up the valve member 10 and contacts the contact portion 22 from the water stop surface 16a. Are opened, and the drainage drainage 15 is opened as shown in FIG. When the user finishes pushing the button member 3, the operation shaft 2 a is fixed in this state by the thrust lock mechanism, and the open state of the drainage device drainage port 15 is maintained. Further, the elastic member 4 is also released, and as shown in FIG. 12, the elastic member 4 returns from the contracted state to an extended state by about 1.5 millimeters.
When the pushing operation is again applied to the button member 3 of the operation unit from this state, as shown in FIG. 11, the elastic member 4 is sufficiently contracted after being pushed idle by about 1.5 millimeters, and can be further contracted. The operation shaft 2a is pushed in such a way as to be pushed by the button member 3. As a result, the thrust lock mechanism operates, and the fixing of the operation shaft 2a by the thrust lock mechanism is released. For this reason, when the user finishes pushing the button member 3, the inner wire 11 b is retracted toward the operation portion due to the weight of the valve member 10 and the action of the return spring, and the valve member 10 is lowered to contact the contact portion 22. Returning to the state of FIG. 1 where the water stop surface 16a comes into contact and the drainage device drainage port 15 is closed. Further, the elastic member 4 is also released, and returns to the state shown in FIG.
Thereafter, by repeating the same operation, the drainage device drainage port 15 can be opened / closed remotely, and the wastewater in the bathtub B can be discharged at the time of opening.

上記のように構成した第一実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置においては、位置決め冶具7を利用しつつ、操作部本体1と操作軸支持部2との間で位置調整を行っている。このため、図8に示したように、貫通孔H周辺の壁面の厚みがどの様に変化しても、施工完了時には、ボタン部材3の表側の面を、貫通孔H周辺の表側の面とほぼ面一とすることができる。   In the remote control type drain plug device of the first embodiment configured as described above, the position adjustment is performed between the operation unit main body 1 and the operation shaft support unit 2 while using the positioning jig 7. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8, no matter how the wall thickness around the through hole H changes, when the construction is completed, the front side surface of the button member 3 is replaced with the front side surface around the through hole H. It can be almost flush.

また、本実施例におけるボタン部材3の位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28のピッチである1ミリメートル単位にて行われる。このため、本実施例で言う「略同一面」とは、できる限りボタン部材3の表側の面と貫通孔H周縁の表側の面との段差が無くなる、両者の高低差が1ミリメートル以内となる状態を示すものである。また、本実施例では、意匠的な観点から、この略面一とする場合において、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも突出するように操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置を調整してなる。このため、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面と、完全に同一の状態から、1ミリメートル程度上方に突出している状態か、それらの中間までのいずれかの状態になる。しかしながら、以下の理由によって、本実施例では、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも突出している場合の機能的及び意匠的な問題を解消している。
ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも突出していることによる、機能的な問題としては、段落0010の理由1.に記載したように、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁のよりも突出しているため、浴槽Bに風呂蓋を被せたり、浴槽Bの使用者が誤ってボタン部材3に触れた時に、ボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁と面一になるまで押し込んでしまい、結果遠隔操作式排水栓装置が誤作動してしまう、という問題が上げられる。しかしながら、本実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置では、ボタン部材3に弾性部材4を組み込み、ボタン部材3を1.5ミリメートル程空押しする構成としている。本実施例においては、係止歯25及び係止段部の上下方向のピッチの関係から、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁から最も突出した場合でもその高低差は1ミリメートル迄であり、従って図10に示したような、従ってボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁より更に0.5ミリメートルは下方に押し込まなければ操作軸2aの動作は起こらず、当然遠隔操作式排水栓装置が作動することもない。このように、本実施例では、ボタン部材3と操作軸2aのとの間の空押しの長さを、位置調節機構の位置調節のピッチの一単位よりも若干(0.5ミリメートル)大きな幅となるようにすることで、ボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁と完全に面一になるまで押し込んだだけでは、ボタン部材3が確実に空押しとなり、遠隔操作式排水栓装置が誤作動を起こすことを防ぐ構成としている。
ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも突出していることによる、意匠的な問題としては、ボタン部材3の表側の面が平端面であるため、ボタン部材3の表側の面は、同じ平端面である貫通孔H周縁、ひいては浴槽Bの上縁部分の平面と完全に面一であるほうが、意匠的な美観が整うものであり、ボタン部材3の突出はこの美観を損ねる、という問題が上げられる。
しかしながら、浴槽Bや浴室の全体から見た場合、1ミリメートルという長さはごくわずかな長さに過ぎない。例えば、浴室の床面から浴槽Bの上端面までの高さ幅は「またぎ高さ」と呼ばれるが、このまたぎ高さは通常360ミリメートル乃至450ミリメートル程度であり、1ミリメートルとはこのまたぎ高さの0.3パーセント弱の幅でしかない。浴槽Bや浴室を通常使用する限り、ボタン部材3は上方乃至斜め上方の位置からしか視認する場合しかなく、ボタン部材3の突出の幅が浴槽Bや浴室の全体から見た場合ごくわずかであることから、使用者にはこのボタン部材3の1ミリメートル以下の突出を認識することはほぼ不可能である。特に本実施例では、ボタン部材3の周縁に半径1ミリメートルの円弧を設け、また貫通孔Hの周縁にも面取り14を設けて、この円弧と面取り14によりボタン部材3の外周と、貫通孔Hの周縁の境界となる部分において、ボタン部材3と貫通孔H周縁の間での段差の有無を認識し難く構成しており、ボタン部材3と貫通孔H周縁の上面の高低差が1ミリメートル以下しか生じないという工夫とあわせ、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁と完全に面一であるように感じさせ、意匠的な美観が整うように構成されてなる。
尚、この「ボタン部材3の表側の面は、同じ平端面である貫通孔H周縁、ひいては浴槽Bの上縁部分の平面と完全に面一であるほうが、意匠的な美観が整う」という感覚はあくまでも主観的なものである。このため、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも充分に突出している方が、使用者によって好まれる場合もありうるものと考えられる。
Further, the position adjustment of the button member 3 in the present embodiment is performed in units of 1 millimeter which is the pitch between the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28. For this reason, “substantially the same surface” in this embodiment means that there is no step between the front side surface of the button member 3 and the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H, and the difference in height between the two is within 1 mm. It shows the state. In the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of design, the position of the operation shaft support portion 2 with respect to the operation portion main body 1 is adjusted so that the button member 3 protrudes from the periphery of the through hole H when the surface is substantially flush. Do it. For this reason, when construction is completed, the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is completely the same as the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole H, protrudes upward by about 1 millimeter, or between them. It becomes such a state. However, for the following reason, in this embodiment, the functional and design problems in the case where the front side surface of the button member 3 protrudes from the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H are solved.
As a functional problem due to the button member 3 protruding beyond the periphery of the through-hole H, the reason for paragraph 0010 is as follows. Since the button member 3 protrudes more than the periphery of the through-hole H as described in 1., when the user of the bathtub B touches the button member 3 accidentally, the button member 3 touches the button member 3 Is pushed until it is flush with the periphery of the through-hole H, resulting in a problem that the remote-operated drain plug device malfunctions. However, in the remote control type drain plug device of the present embodiment, the elastic member 4 is incorporated in the button member 3, and the button member 3 is pushed by about 1.5 millimeters. In the present embodiment, the height difference is up to 1 mm even when the button member 3 protrudes most from the periphery of the through hole H because of the vertical pitch relationship between the locking teeth 25 and the locking steps. Therefore, the operation shaft 2a does not operate unless the button member 3 is pushed further downward by 0.5 millimeters from the periphery of the through hole H as shown in FIG. 10, and naturally the remote control type drain plug device does not operate. . Thus, in this embodiment, the length of the idle pressing between the button member 3 and the operation shaft 2a is slightly larger (0.5 mm) than one unit of the position adjustment pitch of the position adjustment mechanism. As a result, when the button member 3 is only pushed in until it is completely flush with the periphery of the through hole H, the button member 3 is surely idled and the remote-operated drain plug device malfunctions. The configuration is to prevent this.
As a design problem due to the button member 3 protruding beyond the periphery of the through-hole H, the front side surface of the button member 3 is a flat end surface, and therefore the front side surface of the button member 3 is the same flat end surface. There is a problem that the design aesthetics are better when the periphery of a certain through-hole H and thus the flat surface of the upper edge of the bathtub B are completely flush, and the protrusion of the button member 3 impairs this aesthetics. .
However, when viewed from the entirety of the bathtub B and the bathroom, the length of 1 mm is only a very small length. For example, the height width from the floor of the bathroom to the upper end surface of the bathtub B is called “stretching height”, and this straddling height is usually about 360 mm to 450 mm, and 1 mm is this straddling height. It is only a little less than 0.3 percent. As long as the bathtub B or bathroom is normally used, the button member 3 can only be seen from above or obliquely above, and the protruding width of the button member 3 is negligible when viewed from the entire bathtub B or bathroom. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the user to recognize a protrusion of 1 mm or less of the button member 3. In particular, in this embodiment, an arc having a radius of 1 mm is provided on the periphery of the button member 3, and a chamfer 14 is also provided on the periphery of the through hole H, and the outer periphery of the button member 3 and the through hole H are formed by the arc and chamfer 14. It is difficult to recognize the presence or absence of a step between the button member 3 and the periphery of the through-hole H at the boundary of the periphery of the button, and the height difference between the upper surfaces of the button member 3 and the periphery of the through-hole H is 1 millimeter or less. In combination with the idea that it only occurs, the button member 3 feels as if it is completely flush with the periphery of the through hole H, so that the design aesthetics are arranged.
The sense that “the front side surface of the button member 3 is completely flush with the peripheral edge of the through hole H, which is the same flat end surface, and thus the flat surface of the upper edge portion of the bathtub B, is better in design.” Is subjective only. For this reason, it is considered that the user may prefer that the button member 3 protrude sufficiently from the periphery of the through hole H.

次に、本発明の第二実施例を、図面を参照しつつ説明する。図14乃至図24に示した、本発明の第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置は、請求項1、請求項3、請求項5、請求項8乃至請求項11に対応する実施例であって、以下に記載する、槽体としての浴槽B、接続部材、排水栓本体8、支持部材9、弁部材10、レリースワイヤ11、操作部、ガイド管30、及び位置決め用冶具から構成される。
この内、浴槽B、接続部材、排水栓本体8、支持部材9、弁部材10、レリースワイヤ11は、段落0024に記載した、第一実施例の各部材と同一なため説明は省略する。
操作部は、以下に記載する操作部本体1、操作軸支持部2、ボタン部材3、から構成されてなる。
操作部本体1は、貫通孔H裏面に取り付けられるアダプター部材1aと、該アダプター部材1aに下方から接続される支持部収納部材1bと、排水栓側C字リング21と、から構成されてなる。
更に詳述すると、アダプター部材1aは、略円筒形状の部材であって、その内径は貫通孔Hの内径とほぼ同一であり、また上方にビス部材Vを挿通するための開口を複数設けた鍔部23を備えてなる。また中間部分の外側面には操作部側係合部32を、更にその下方であって側面方向には環状パッキングPを、それぞれ配置してなる。また内周面に沿って、雌ネジ部31を備えてなる。この雌ネジ部31は、施工完了時のボタン部材3の動作を妨げないように、その高さ位置を設定されて設けられてなる。
また、支持部収納部材1bは、略円筒形状の部材であって、上端部分の外周面には、操作部側係合部32を備えてなり、また上端の開口内部はアダプター部材1aの下部を収納するように構成されてなる。また、支持部収納部材1bの内部には、操作軸支持部2を着脱自在に収納固定するように構成されてなる。
操作部側C字リング35は断面内向きに開口したコの字を成す、平面視C字形状の部材であって、アダプター部材1aと支持部収納部材1bとにそれぞれ設けられた操作部側係合部32と係合して、アダプター部材1aと支持部収納部材1bとを接続固定する部材である。
操作軸支持部2は、円筒形状の部材であって、その下端部分には、施工完了時レリースワイヤ11のアウターチューブ11aの一端が接続されると共に、その内部に、下端がインナーワイヤ11bに当接する操作軸2aを備えてなる。また、該操作軸2aの上端には、上方の側面に周縁に沿って突部27を備えてなる。
また、操作軸支持部2の内部には、施工完了時レリースワイヤ11の戻りスプリングを利用して機能する、スラストロック機構と呼ばれる機構を備えてなる。該スラストロック機構は、操作軸2aに上方から押し込み操作を加える毎に、操作軸2aを前進(降下)して固定/固定を解除してレリースワイヤ11のインナーワイヤ11bに付勢されて後退(上昇)、を繰り返すように動作する。
更に該操作軸2aの外周面には、後述するストッパー部材33の係止歯25に係合される、上下方向のピッチ幅が1ミリメートルの被係止段部28が上下方向に複数段重ねるように設けられてなる。尚、操作軸支持部2の円筒部3a分の外径は、貫通孔Hの内径よりも小径に構成されてなり、支持部収納部材1bから操作軸支持部2を取り出した際に、操作軸支持部2をアダプター部材1aの内部及び貫通孔Hを介して浴槽Bの表側に取り出すことができるように構成されてなる。
ストッパー部材33は、円筒形状にして側面にスリット部24を備えると共に、操作軸2aの被係止段部28に係合される係止歯25を備えた部材であって、更に施工完了時に、ストッパー部材33の外周に嵌合することでスリット部24の拡径を防止するリング部材29を備えてなる。
ボタン部材3は、アダプター部材1aの内周面よりも若干小径な外径を有した円板状の部材であって、下面中央に円筒部3aを備え、該円筒部3aは操作軸2aを収納した状態で上下にスライドすると共に、下端部内周部分に、操作軸2aの突部27と係合し、比較的強い力(通常の使用では生じることはなく、ボタン部材3を意図的に外そうとしない限り生じない程度の力)で引き上げなければ操作軸2aから外れない抜け止め部3bを備えてなる。上記のように、この実施例においては、操作軸2aの突部27と、ボタン部材3の抜け止め部3bとで、ボタン部材3が操作部から飛び出すことを防止する係止機構を構成してなる。またボタン部材3の外縁部分には、半径1ミリメートルの円弧を円周に沿って設けられてなる。
また、該ボタン部材3の円筒部3aの下端部分に、スプリングからなる上下方向に伸縮する弾性部材4を備えてなる。該弾性部材4は、ボタン部材3の重量には反発し、上下方向に収縮する事はないが、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3に押し込み操作が行われると、上下方向に1.5ミリメートル程度収縮した後に、操作軸2aに押し込み操作が伝達されるように構成されてなる。
位置決め冶具7は、貫通孔Hの表側の面の周縁に当接する円盤状の当接リブ7aと、内部に操作軸2a部を収納しつつ、下端がストッパー部材33に当接する円筒状の取り合い調整部7bと、下端にアダプター部材1aの雌ネジ部31と螺合する雄ネジ部7dを備えた、冶具固定機構としての冶具固定部7cと、からなる。
また、取り合い調整部7bの、当接リブ7a下面から取り合い調整部7bの先端部分までの幅は、施工時、位置決め冶具7の当接リブ7aを貫通孔H周縁に当接させた状態で、操作軸2aのストッパー部材33上面が、取り合い調整部7bの先端部分に当接している位置に固定できれば、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が貫通孔Hの周縁の表側の面と略同一面となるように、設計時点で調整されてなる。
ガイド管30は、軸方向に剛性を、側面方向に可撓性を備えた塩化ビニールからなる長い筒状の部材であって、一端は排水栓本体8の挿通筒19に、他端は支持部収納部材1bの下端部分に、それぞれ接続される。

Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the operation shaft 2a, a plurality of locked steps 28 having a pitch width of 1 mm in the vertical direction, which are engaged with locking teeth 25 of a stopper member 33 described later, are stacked in a plurality of levels in the vertical direction. It is provided. The outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 3a of the operation shaft support portion 2 is configured to be smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole H. When the operation shaft support portion 2 is taken out from the support portion storage member 1b, the operation shaft It is comprised so that the support part 2 can be taken out to the front side of the bathtub B through the inside of the adapter member 1a and the through-hole H.
The stopper member 33 has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a slit portion 24 on the side surface and a locking tooth 25 that is engaged with the locked stepped portion 28 of the operation shaft 2a. A ring member 29 is provided to prevent the slit portion 24 from expanding in diameter by fitting to the outer periphery of the stopper member 33.
The button member 3 is a disk-shaped member having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner peripheral surface of the adapter member 1a, and includes a cylindrical portion 3a at the center of the lower surface, and the cylindrical portion 3a accommodates the operation shaft 2a.

更に、位置決め冶具7の取り合い調整部7b及び冶具固定部7cを、貫通孔Hに挿通し、冶具固定部7cの雄ネジ部7dを、アダプター部材1aの雌ネジ部31に、当接リブ7a下面が貫通孔H周縁の上面に当接するまで螺合させる。この雄ネジ部7dと雌ネジ部31の螺合が、仮固定機構として機能する。
また、同じく工場にて、以下の手順にて、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の一部の組み立てを行う。
まずガイド管30の一端を排水栓本体8の挿通筒19に、他端を支持部収納部材1bの下端に、それぞれ接続する。
次に、レリースワイヤ11の弁軸部11cを備えない側の端部に操作軸支持部2を接続した上で、レリースワイヤ11を支持部収納部材1bに上方から挿通し、最終的に操作軸支持部2を支持部収納部材1bに収納固定させる。この時、レリースワイヤ11の先端は、ガイド管30、及び挿通筒19を介して、排水栓本体8内部に配置させる。
更に、レリースワイヤ11端部を引き上げ、支持部材9にレリースワイヤ11端部を接続固定した上で、支持部材9を排水栓本体8の凹凸部20に嵌合させて固定する。
また、ストッパー部材33の係止歯25を、操作軸2aの最も上方の被係止段部28に係合させる。
これらの浴槽Bや遠隔操作式排水栓装置に対する作業は工場で行われるため、作業空間を広く取ることができ、また作業を容易化する作業台などを設置し、また機材の揃った環境で行うことができる。更に、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の組み立て自体も、浴槽Bに接続していないことから、排水栓本体8や操作部本体1などの部材を、作業者が視認しやすく作業しやすい手元に置き、且つ作業しやすい位置・角度に配置したり移動・回転させる等しながら作業を行うことができる。このため、この段階までの遠隔操作式排水栓装置の組み立て作業は、従来例に比較して遙かに容易とすることができる。このようにして、第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置の排水栓本体8側は、図16の状態まで組み立てられる(排水口側は、第一実施例とガイド管の有無を除き同じであるため省略)。
The remote control type drain plug device of the second embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is constructed and attached to the bathtub B which is a tank body as follows. Although not described in detail, even in the case where there is no particular description, watertight connection is performed by using packing or the like at a portion where watertightness is required at a connection portion between members.
First, in a factory or the like, the connecting member is attached to the tank body drain 12 and the adapter member 1a is attached and fixed to the through hole H, respectively. In attaching the tank body outlet 12 and the connecting member, the connecting member is disposed below the bathtub B, and then the tank body outlet 12 and the drainage apparatus outlet 15 are arranged concentrically using a jig or the like. Then, the screw member V is screwed into the screw hole portion 13 through the opening of the flange portion 16, and the connecting member is attached and fixed from below the bathtub B. Moreover, in the connection between the through hole H and the adapter member 1a, the adapter member 1a is arranged below the bathtub B, and then the through hole H and the adapter member 1a are arranged concentrically using a jig or the like. The screw member V is screwed into the screw hole portion 13 through the opening of the flange portion 23, and the adapter member 1a is attached and fixed from below the bathtub B.
Further, the adjustment adjusting portion 7b and the jig fixing portion 7c of the positioning jig 7 are inserted into the through hole H, the male screw portion 7d of the jig fixing portion 7c is inserted into the female screw portion 31 of the adapter member 1a, and the lower surface of the contact rib 7a. Until the upper surface of the through hole H contacts with the upper surface. The screwing of the male screw portion 7d and the female screw portion 31 functions as a temporary fixing mechanism.
Also, a part of the remote-operated drain plug device is assembled at the same factory according to the following procedure.
First, one end of the guide tube 30 is connected to the insertion tube 19 of the drain plug main body 8, and the other end is connected to the lower end of the support housing member 1b.
Next, after connecting the operation shaft support 2 to the end of the release wire 11 on the side not provided with the valve shaft 11c, the release wire 11 is inserted into the support housing member 1b from above, and finally the operation shaft. The support part 2 is stored and fixed on the support part storage member 1b. At this time, the tip of the release wire 11 is disposed inside the drain plug main body 8 via the guide tube 30 and the insertion tube 19.
Further, the end of the release wire 11 is pulled up, the end of the release wire 11 is connected and fixed to the support member 9, and then the support member 9 is fitted and fixed to the uneven portion 20 of the drain plug body 8.
Further, the locking teeth 25 of the stopper member 33 are engaged with the uppermost locked step portion 28 of the operation shaft 2a.
Since work on these bathtubs B and remote-controlled drain plug devices is performed in the factory, a large work space can be taken, a work table that facilitates the work is installed, and the work is performed in an environment where equipment is available. be able to. Furthermore, since the assembly of the remote-operated drain plug device itself is not connected to the bathtub B, members such as the drain plug main body 8 and the operation unit main body 1 are placed at hand so that the operator can easily see and work. In addition, the work can be performed while being arranged at a position / angle at which it is easy to work, or moved / rotated. For this reason, the assembly operation of the remote-operated drain plug device up to this stage can be made much easier than in the conventional example. In this way, the drain plug body 8 side of the remote-operated drain plug device of the second embodiment is assembled to the state shown in FIG. 16 (the drain port side is the same as the first embodiment except for the presence or absence of the guide tube. Omitted because there are.)

次に、上記段落0032の段階まで組み立てられた浴槽B及び遠隔操作式排水栓装置と、その他の部材を、施工現場に搬入する。施工現場では、排水栓本体8側、操作部側にそれぞれ以下のような作業が行われる。
排水栓本体8側では、排水栓本体8の上面の開口に、接続部材の下端部分を挿入し、排水栓本体8の排水栓側係合部17と、接続部材の排水栓側係合部17とを当接させる。更に排水栓側C字リング21を両排水栓側係合部17と係合させ、排水栓本体8と接続部材とを接続固定する。
このような接続を行う事で、接続部材と排水栓本体8は高さ方向に対しては常に同じ高さ位置、即ち操作部本体1の操作部側係合部32と、接続アダプターの操作部側係合部32とが当接した状態となる高さ位置に接続される。このため、接続部材に設けられた止水面16aに対して、排水栓本体8は定まった高さ位置に配置される。
Next, the bathtub B and the remote-operated drain plug device assembled up to the stage of the above paragraph 0032 and other members are carried into the construction site. At the construction site, the following operations are performed on the drain plug body 8 side and the operation unit side, respectively.
On the drain plug body 8 side, the lower end portion of the connection member is inserted into the opening on the upper surface of the drain plug body 8, and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the drain plug body 8 and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the connection member. And abut. Further, the drain plug side C-shaped ring 21 is engaged with both drain plug side engaging portions 17 to connect and fix the drain plug body 8 and the connection member.
By making such a connection, the connecting member and the drain plug body 8 are always at the same height position in the height direction, that is, the operation part side engaging part 32 of the operation part body 1 and the operation part of the connection adapter. It is connected to a height position where the side engaging portion 32 comes into contact. For this reason, the drain plug main body 8 is arranged at a fixed height position with respect to the water stop surface 16a provided on the connection member.

操作部側では、支持部収納部材1bの上方の開口に、アダプター部材1aの下端部分を挿入し、支持部収納部材1bの操作部側係合部32と、アダプター部材1aの操作部側係合部32とを当接させる。
この時、操作軸2aに配置されたストッパー部材33は以下のように動作し、位置調整される。
支持部収納部材1bを上昇させてゆくと、図17に示したように、操作軸2aに配置されたストッパー部材33の上面が、取り合い調整部7bの下端に当接する(操作軸2aは取り合い調整部7bの内部に収納され、取り合い調整部7bに当接しない)。
この状態より更に支持部収納部材1bを上昇させると、図18に示したように、操作軸2aが操作軸支持部2に対して下限となる位置まで降下する(元々操作軸2aは、操作軸支持部2に対し進退するように構成されている)。この状態以降、操作軸2aは操作軸支持部2に対し降下できなくなるため、更に支持部収納部材1bを上昇させると、ストッパー部材33のスリット部24が拡径し、被係止段部28と係止歯25との係合が一段分上下にずれて、ストッパー部材33が操作軸2aに対して位置を降下させるようになる。更に支持部収納部材1bを上昇させると、図19に示したように、操作軸2aに対してストッパー部材33が降下してゆき、最終的に支持部収納部材1bの操作部側係合部32と、アダプター部材1aの操作部側係合部32とが当接した状態となる。
この作業においては、位置決め冶具7がアダプター部材1aにネジを利用して固定されているため、施工者は位置決め冶具7を浴槽Bの表側から押さえる必要が無く、浴槽Bの裏側から、支持部収納部材1bを押し上げる作業に集中でき、作業を極めて容易に行うことができる。
更に操作部側C字リング35を両操作部側係合部32と係合させ、アダプター部材1aと支持部収納部材1bとを接続固定する。
更に浴槽Bの表側から位置決め冶具7を回転させて、雄ネジ部7dと雌ネジ部31の螺合を解除し、位置決め冶具7を取り出した上で、リング部材29をストッパー部材33に外嵌させる。これにより、ストッパー部材33のスリット部24の拡径が不可能となり、操作軸2aに対してストッパー部材33が上下方向に移動不能となって固定される。
更にボタン部材3を操作軸2aに嵌合固定させる。ボタン部材3は、ボタン部材3の円筒部3aの下端が、弾性部材4を介してストッパー部材33に載置されるように配置されるため、施工完了時のボタン部材3の高さ位置は、ストッパー部材33によって調整される。そして、操作軸2aに対するストッパー部材33の位置は、位置決め冶具7によって、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔Hの周縁の表側の面と略同一面となる位置になるように調整されて固定されている。
即ち、本実施例は、係止歯25と被係止段部28からなる位置調整機構により、操作軸2aとボタン部材3の間で、操作軸2aの軸方向に対して位置を調節し、固定する機能を備えた遠隔操作式排水栓装置である。また、この実施例において位置調節機構による位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28が上下方向に1ミリメートル単位にて構成されていることから、1ミリメートルという一定のピッチを単位として行われるように構成されている。
尚、本実施例におけるボタン部材3の位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28のピッチである1ミリメートル単位にて行われる。このため、本実施例で言う「略同一面」とは、できる限りボタン部材3の表側の面と貫通孔H周縁の表側の面との段差が無くなる、両者の高低差が1ミリメートル以内となった状態を言う。また、本実施例では、意匠的な観点から、この略面一とする場合において、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも上方に突出するように操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置を調整するものとし、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも下方に配置されることはないものとする。
最後に、浴槽Bの表側から弁部材10を弁軸部11cに嵌合固定させて、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の施工が完了する。
尚、操作軸2aは操作軸支持部2に対して進退するように構成されており、上記した施工時の被係止段部28と係止歯25との係合にずれを生じる際に、操作軸2aが進退を生じるのに必要な押し込み力と、被係止段部28と係止歯25との係合にずれを生じる為にストッパー部材33に加える必要のある押し込み力の大小関係から、ストッパー部材33が操作軸2a上を動作する際に、
1.操作軸2aが操作軸支持部2に対し動作しないまま、ストッパー部材33が操作軸2a上を動作する場合
2.まず操作軸2aが操作軸支持部2に対し最も下方まで降下し、操作軸2aが下限に達して移動できなくなった後、ストッパー部材33が操作軸2a上を動作する場合
のいずれかとなる。
通常は、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の円滑な操作を行うことを目的として、操作軸2aは操作軸支持部2に対してできる限り滑らかに進退するように構成するため、2.の場合になることが多く、本実施例でも上述のように、2.の場合に対応した構成としている。しかし、例えば施工時には操作軸2aを操作軸支持部2に固定するようにして、1.の場合での施工を行うことも可能であり、いずれかの構造にするかは必要に応じて適宜選択するものである。
On the operation part side, the lower end portion of the adapter member 1a is inserted into the opening above the support part storage member 1b, and the operation part side engagement part 32 of the support part storage member 1b and the operation part side engagement of the adapter member 1a. The part 32 is brought into contact.
At this time, the stopper member 33 arranged on the operation shaft 2a operates as follows and is adjusted in position.
When the support portion storage member 1b is raised, as shown in FIG. 17, the upper surface of the stopper member 33 disposed on the operation shaft 2a comes into contact with the lower end of the connection adjusting portion 7b (the operation shaft 2a is adjusted for connection adjustment). Stored in the inside of the portion 7b and does not come into contact with the joint adjusting portion 7b).
When the support portion storage member 1b is further raised from this state, as shown in FIG. 18, the operation shaft 2a is lowered to the lower limit position with respect to the operation shaft support portion 2 (originally, the operation shaft 2a is the operation shaft). It is configured to advance and retract with respect to the support part 2). After this state, the operation shaft 2a cannot be lowered with respect to the operation shaft support portion 2. Therefore, when the support portion storage member 1b is further raised, the slit portion 24 of the stopper member 33 is expanded in diameter, and the locked step portion 28 and The engagement with the locking teeth 25 is shifted up and down by one step, and the stopper member 33 is lowered with respect to the operation shaft 2a. When the support portion storage member 1b is further raised, as shown in FIG. 19, the stopper member 33 is lowered with respect to the operation shaft 2a, and finally the operation portion side engaging portion 32 of the support portion storage member 1b. And the operation part side engaging part 32 of the adapter member 1a will be in the contact | abutted state.
In this operation, since the positioning jig 7 is fixed to the adapter member 1a using screws, the operator does not need to press the positioning jig 7 from the front side of the bathtub B. It is possible to concentrate on the work of pushing up the member 1b, and the work can be performed very easily.
Furthermore, the operation part side C-shaped ring 35 is engaged with both operation part side engaging parts 32, and the adapter member 1a and the support part accommodating member 1b are connected and fixed.
Further, the positioning jig 7 is rotated from the front side of the bathtub B to release the screwing of the male screw portion 7d and the female screw portion 31, and after the positioning jig 7 is taken out, the ring member 29 is externally fitted to the stopper member 33. . Thereby, the diameter of the slit portion 24 of the stopper member 33 cannot be increased, and the stopper member 33 cannot be moved in the vertical direction with respect to the operation shaft 2a and is fixed.
Further, the button member 3 is fitted and fixed to the operation shaft 2a. Since the button member 3 is arranged so that the lower end of the cylindrical portion 3a of the button member 3 is placed on the stopper member 33 via the elastic member 4, the height position of the button member 3 at the completion of construction is It is adjusted by the stopper member 33. The position of the stopper member 33 with respect to the operation shaft 2a is such that the front side surface of the button member 3 is substantially flush with the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H when the construction is completed by the positioning jig 7. It is adjusted and fixed.
That is, in this embodiment, the position adjustment mechanism including the locking tooth 25 and the locked step portion 28 adjusts the position between the operation shaft 2a and the button member 3 with respect to the axial direction of the operation shaft 2a. This is a remote-operated drain plug device with a fixing function. Further, in this embodiment, the position adjustment by the position adjustment mechanism is performed in units of a constant pitch of 1 millimeter since the locking teeth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28 are configured in the vertical direction in units of 1 millimeter. Configured to be done.
In addition, the position adjustment of the button member 3 in the present embodiment is performed in units of 1 millimeter which is the pitch between the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28. For this reason, “substantially the same surface” as used in this embodiment means that there is no step between the front side surface of the button member 3 and the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H, and the height difference between them is within 1 mm. Say the state. Further, in the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of design, the position of the operation shaft support portion 2 with respect to the operation portion main body 1 so that the button member 3 protrudes upward from the peripheral edge of the through hole H in the case of being substantially flush. It is assumed that the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is not disposed below the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole H.
Finally, the valve member 10 is fitted and fixed to the valve stem 11c from the front side of the bathtub B, and the construction of the remote-operated drain plug device is completed.
The operation shaft 2a is configured to advance and retreat with respect to the operation shaft support portion 2, and when the engagement between the locked step portion 28 and the locking teeth 25 at the time of construction described above is shifted, From the magnitude relationship between the pushing force required for the operation shaft 2a to move forward and backward and the pushing force that needs to be applied to the stopper member 33 to cause a shift in the engagement between the locked step portion 28 and the locking tooth 25. When the stopper member 33 moves on the operation shaft 2a,
1. 1. When the stopper member 33 moves on the operation shaft 2a while the operation shaft 2a does not move with respect to the operation shaft support portion 2. First, the operation shaft 2a descends to the lowest position with respect to the operation shaft support portion 2, and after the operation shaft 2a reaches the lower limit and cannot move, the stopper member 33 moves on the operation shaft 2a.
Usually, the operation shaft 2a is configured to move forward and backward as smoothly as possible with respect to the operation shaft support 2 for the purpose of smooth operation of the remote-operated drain plug device. In this embodiment, as described above, 2. The configuration corresponds to the above case. However, for example, at the time of construction, the operation shaft 2 a is fixed to the operation shaft support portion 2. It is also possible to carry out the construction in the above case, and either structure is appropriately selected as necessary.

上記のように施工された第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置は、段落0028に記載した第一実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置と同様に操作することで、遠隔操作により排水装置排水口15を開閉できる。また、上記のように構成した第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置においては、位置決め冶具7を利用しつつ、操作軸2aとボタン部材3との間で位置調整を行っている。このため、貫通孔H周辺の壁面の厚みがどの様に変化しても、施工完了時には、ボタン部材3の表側の面を、貫通孔H周辺の表側の面とほぼ面一とすることができる。
また、本実施例におけるボタン部材3の位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28のピッチである1ミリメートル単位にて行われる。このため、本実施例で言う「略同一面」とは、できる限りボタン部材3の表側の面と貫通孔H周縁の表側の面との段差が無くなる、両者の高低差が1ミリメートル以内となる状態を示すものである。また、本実施例では、意匠的な観点から、この略面一とする場合において、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも上方に突出するように操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置を調整してなる。このため、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面と、完全に同一の状態から、1ミリメートル程度上方に突出している状態までのいずれかの状態になる。しかしながら、段落0030に記載した、第一実施例と同じ作用・効果によって、本実施例では、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも突出している場合の機能的及び意匠的な問題を解消している。
尚、本実施例と第一実施例とでは、弾性部材4を配置した位置が異なるが、本実施例のように、弾性部材4をストッパー部材33とボタン部材3の円筒部3aの間に配置しても、図20乃至図23に示したような過程を経て、弾性部材4は第一実施例と同じように機能し、第一実施例と同じ作用・効果を得ることができる。
The remote-operated drain plug device according to the second embodiment constructed as described above is operated in the same manner as the remote-operated drain plug device according to the first embodiment described in paragraph 0028. The mouth 15 can be opened and closed. Further, in the remote control type drain plug device of the second embodiment configured as described above, the position is adjusted between the operation shaft 2 a and the button member 3 while using the positioning jig 7. For this reason, no matter how the thickness of the wall surface around the through hole H changes, the surface on the front side of the button member 3 can be made substantially flush with the surface on the front side around the through hole H when construction is completed. .
Further, the position adjustment of the button member 3 in the present embodiment is performed in units of 1 millimeter which is the pitch between the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28. For this reason, “substantially the same surface” in this embodiment means that there is no step between the front side surface of the button member 3 and the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H, and the difference in height between the two is within 1 mm. It shows the state. Further, in the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of design, the position of the operation shaft support portion 2 with respect to the operation portion main body 1 so that the button member 3 protrudes upward from the peripheral edge of the through hole H in the case of being substantially flush. Adjust the. For this reason, when construction is completed, the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is in any state from the same state as the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole H to a state protruding upward by about 1 millimeter. . However, due to the same actions and effects as described in the first embodiment described in Paragraph 0030, in this embodiment, the front side surface of the button member 3 is functional when protruding from the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H. And design problems are solved.
Although the position where the elastic member 4 is disposed is different between the present embodiment and the first embodiment, the elastic member 4 is disposed between the stopper member 33 and the cylindrical portion 3a of the button member 3 as in the present embodiment. Even after that, through the process shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, the elastic member 4 functions in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the same actions and effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

また、上記のように構成した第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置において、弁部材10、ボタン部材3、円弧ガイド部材、レリースワイヤ11等に破損が生じた場合、以下のような手順で部材を取り外し、破損のない同部品と交換できる。
まず弁部材10及びボタン部材3をレリースワイヤ11より脱着する。次いで、支持部材9を排水栓本体8から取り外した後、支持部材9とレリースワイヤ11の接続を解除する。次に、操作軸支持部2と支持部収納部材1bとの接続固定を解除し、貫通孔Hからレリースワイヤ11を浴槽Bの表側に引き上げる。このようにして、操作部側は図24に示したような状態となる。
これらの手順で部材を取り出し、必要に応じて部材の交換を行った上で、逆の手順により遠隔操作式排水栓装置を再度組み立てる。つまり、レリースワイヤ11を貫通孔Hを介して浴槽Bの表側から挿入し、ガイド管30を介して先端を排水栓本体8内に配置する。更に、レリースワイヤ11端部を浴槽B排水口から引き上げ、支持部材9にレリースワイヤ11端部を接続固定した上で、支持部材9を排水栓本体8の凹凸部20に嵌合させて固定する。更に浴槽Bの表側から弁部材10を弁軸部11cに嵌合固定させて、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の部材交換が完了する。
これらの作業は、全て浴槽Bの表側から行うことができ、浴槽Bを一部解体して浴槽Bの裏側より手を加えるなどの必要がなく、メンテナンスを容易に行うことができる。また、環状パッキングP等を利用して、貫通孔Hから操作部、チューブ管、エルボ部材まで漏水が生じないように構成しているため、浴槽B下の床面等、浴槽Bの裏側の面側に漏水が生じる事が無く、漏水よってカビが生じたり、床面が痛む、と言った問題が生じない。
Further, in the remote-operated drain plug device of the second embodiment configured as described above, when the valve member 10, the button member 3, the arc guide member, the release wire 11 or the like is damaged, the following procedure is performed. The member can be removed and replaced with an undamaged part.
First, the valve member 10 and the button member 3 are detached from the release wire 11. Next, after removing the support member 9 from the drain plug main body 8, the connection between the support member 9 and the release wire 11 is released. Next, the connection between the operation shaft support portion 2 and the support portion storage member 1 b is released, and the release wire 11 is pulled up from the through hole H to the front side of the bathtub B. In this way, the operation unit side is in a state as shown in FIG.
The members are taken out by these procedures, the members are exchanged as necessary, and the remote-operated drain plug device is assembled again by the reverse procedure. That is, the release wire 11 is inserted from the front side of the bathtub B through the through hole H, and the tip is disposed in the drain plug body 8 through the guide tube 30. Furthermore, the end of the release wire 11 is pulled up from the bathtub B drain, and the end of the release wire 11 is connected and fixed to the support member 9, and then the support member 9 is fitted and fixed to the concave and convex portion 20 of the drain plug body 8. . Furthermore, the valve member 10 is fitted and fixed to the valve shaft portion 11c from the front side of the bathtub B, and the member replacement of the remote-operated drain plug device is completed.
All of these operations can be performed from the front side of the bathtub B, and there is no need to dismantle the bathtub B and add a hand from the back side of the bathtub B, and maintenance can be easily performed. In addition, since the annular packing P or the like is used to prevent water leakage from the through hole H to the operation unit, the tube tube, and the elbow member, the surface on the back side of the bathtub B, such as the floor surface under the bathtub B, etc. There will be no water leakage on the side, and there will be no problems such as mold or mold damage due to water leakage.

Since work on these bathtubs B and remote-controlled drain plug devices is performed in the factory, a large work space can be taken, a work table that facilitates the work is installed, and the work is performed in an environment where equipment is available. be able to. Furthermore, since the assembly of the remote-operated drain plug device itself is not connected to the bathtub B, members such as the drain plug main body 8 and the operation unit main body 1 are placed at hand so that the operator can easily see and work. In addition, the work can be performed while being arranged at a position / angle at which it is easy to work, or moved / rotated. For this reason, the assembly operation of the remote-operated drain plug device up to this stage can be made much easier than in the conventional example. In this way, the drain plug body 8 side of the remote-operated drain plug device of the third embodiment is assembled up to the state shown in FIG. Omitted because there are.)

次に、上記段落0038の段階まで組み立てられた浴槽B及び遠隔操作式排水栓装置と、その他の部材を、施工現場に搬入する。施工現場では、排水栓本体8側、操作部側にそれぞれ以下のような作業が行われる。
排水栓本体8側では、排水栓本体8の上面の開口に、接続部材の下端部分を挿入し、排水栓本体8の排水栓側係合部17と、接続部材の排水栓側係合部17とを当接させる。更に排水栓側C字リング21を両排水栓側係合部17と係合させ、排水栓本体8と接続部材とを接続固定する。
このような接続を行う事で、接続部材と排水栓本体8は高さ方向に対しては常に同じ高さ位置、即ち操作部本体1の操作部側係合部32と、接続アダプターの操作部側係合部32とが当接した状態となる高さ位置に接続される。このため、接続部材に設けられた止水面16aに対して、排水栓本体8は定まった高さ位置に配置される。
Next, the bathtub B and the remote-operated drain plug device assembled to the stage of the above paragraph 0038 and other members are carried into the construction site. At the construction site, the following operations are performed on the drain plug body 8 side and the operation unit side, respectively.
On the drain plug body 8 side, the lower end portion of the connection member is inserted into the opening on the upper surface of the drain plug body 8, and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the drain plug body 8 and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the connection member. And abut. Further, the drain plug side C-shaped ring 21 is engaged with both drain plug side engaging portions 17 to connect and fix the drain plug body 8 and the connection member.
By making such a connection, the connecting member and the drain plug body 8 are always at the same height position in the height direction, that is, the operation part side engaging part 32 of the operation part body 1 and the operation part of the connection adapter. It is connected to a height position where the side engaging portion 32 comes into contact. For this reason, the drain plug main body 8 is arranged at a fixed height position with respect to the water stop surface 16a provided on the connection member.

操作部側では、支持部収納部材1bの上方の開口に、アダプター部材1aの下端部分を挿入し、更に支持部収納部材1bを上昇させてゆくと、アダプター部材1aの被係止段部28と、支持部収納部材1bの係止歯25とが係合する。更に支持部収納部材1bを上昇させると、支持部収納部材1bのスリット部24が拡径し、被係止段部28と係止歯25との係合が一段分上下にずれて、支持部収納部材1bがアダプター部材1aに対して位置を上昇させる。更に支持部収納部材1bを上昇させると、図28に示したように、最終的に操作軸支持部2の操作軸2a以外の上面が、取り合い調整部7bの下端に当接した状態となる。この状態となったところで、バンド部材34を操作部本体1の溝部に嵌合させる。これにより、支持部収納部材1bのスリット部24の拡径が不可能となり、アダプター部材1aに対して支持部収納部材1bが上下方向に移動不能となって固定される。
この作業においては、位置決め冶具7がアダプター部材1aにネジを利用して固定されているため、施工者は位置決め冶具7を浴槽Bの表側から押さえる必要が無く、浴槽Bの裏側から、支持部収納部材1bを押し上げる作業に集中でき、作業を極めて容易に行うことができる。
この時、アダプター部材1aに対する支持部収納部材1b操作部本体1の位置は、位置決め冶具7によって、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔Hの周縁の表側の面と略同一面となる位置になるように調整されて固定されている。
即ち、本実施例は、操作部本体1を、アダプター部材1aと支持部収納部材1bの2つの部品から構成し、係止歯25と被係止段部28からなる位置調整機構により、アダプター部材1aと支持部収納部材1bとの間で、操作軸2aの軸方向に対して位置を調節し、固定する機能を備えた遠隔操作式排水栓装置である。また、この実施例において位置調節機構による位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28が上下方向に1ミリメートル単位にて構成されていることから、1ミリメートルという一定のピッチを単位として行われるように構成されている。
尚、本実施例におけるボタン部材3の位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28のピッチである1ミリメートル単位にて行われる。このため、本実施例で言う「略同一面」とは、できる限りボタン部材3の表側の面と貫通孔H周縁の表側の面との段差が無くなる、両者の高低差が1ミリメートル以内となった状態を言う。また、本実施例では、意匠的な観点から、この略面一とする場合において、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも上方に突出するように操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置を調整するものとし、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも下方に配置されることはないものとする。
更に浴槽Bの表側から弁部材10を弁軸部11cに、ボタン部材3を操作軸2aに、それぞれ嵌合固定させて、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の施工が完了する。
On the operation portion side, when the lower end portion of the adapter member 1a is inserted into the opening above the support portion storage member 1b and the support portion storage member 1b is further raised, the locked step portion 28 of the adapter member 1a The engaging teeth 25 of the support portion storage member 1b are engaged. When the support portion storage member 1b is further raised, the slit portion 24 of the support portion storage member 1b increases in diameter, and the engagement between the locked step portion 28 and the locking teeth 25 is shifted up and down by one step, and the support portion The storage member 1b raises the position with respect to the adapter member 1a. When the support portion storage member 1b is further raised, as shown in FIG. 28, the upper surface other than the operation shaft 2a of the operation shaft support portion 2 finally comes into contact with the lower end of the joint adjustment portion 7b. In this state, the band member 34 is fitted into the groove portion of the operation portion main body 1. Thereby, the diameter of the slit part 24 of the support part storage member 1b cannot be increased, and the support part storage member 1b cannot be moved vertically with respect to the adapter member 1a and is fixed.
In this operation, since the positioning jig 7 is fixed to the adapter member 1a using screws, the operator does not need to press the positioning jig 7 from the front side of the bathtub B. It is possible to concentrate on the work of pushing up the member 1b, and the work can be performed very easily.
At this time, the position of the support portion storage member 1b operation portion main body 1 with respect to the adapter member 1a is substantially the same as the front side surface of the peripheral edge of the through hole H when the construction is completed by the positioning jig 7. It is adjusted and fixed so that it becomes the position which becomes a surface.
That is, in this embodiment, the operation unit main body 1 is composed of two parts, an adapter member 1a and a support unit storage member 1b, and an adapter member is provided by a position adjusting mechanism including a locking tooth 25 and a locked stepped portion 28. This is a remote-operated drain plug device having a function of adjusting and fixing the position relative to the axial direction of the operation shaft 2a between 1a and the support housing member 1b. Further, in this embodiment, the position adjustment by the position adjustment mechanism is performed in units of a constant pitch of 1 millimeter since the locking teeth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28 are configured in the vertical direction in units of 1 millimeter. Configured to be done.
In addition, the position adjustment of the button member 3 in the present embodiment is performed in units of 1 millimeter which is the pitch between the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28. For this reason, “substantially the same surface” as used in this embodiment means that there is no step between the front side surface of the button member 3 and the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H, and the height difference between them is within 1 mm. Say the state. Further, in the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of design, the position of the operation shaft support portion 2 with respect to the operation portion main body 1 so that the button member 3 protrudes upward from the peripheral edge of the through hole H in the case of being substantially flush. It is assumed that the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is not disposed below the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole H.
Furthermore, from the front side of the bathtub B, the valve member 10 is fitted and fixed to the valve shaft portion 11c, and the button member 3 is fitted and fixed to the operation shaft 2a.

上記のように施工された第三実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置は、段落0028に記載した第一実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置と同様に操作することで、図25及び図29乃至図31に示した過程を経て、遠隔操作により排水装置排水口15を開閉できる。また、上記のように構成した第三実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置においては、位置決め冶具7を利用しつつ、操作軸2aとボタン部材3との間で位置調整を行っている。このため、貫通孔H周辺の壁面の厚みがどの様に変化しても、施工完了時には、ボタン部材3の表側の面を、貫通孔H周辺の表側の面とほぼ面一とすることができる。
また、本実施例におけるボタン部材3の位置調節は、係止歯25と被係止段部28のピッチである1ミリメートル単位にて行われる。このため、本実施例で言う「略同一面」とは、できる限りボタン部材3の表側の面と貫通孔H周縁の表側の面との段差が無くなる、両者の高低差が1ミリメートル以内となる状態を示すものである。また、本実施例では、意匠的な観点から、この略面一とする場合において、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも上方に突出するように操作部本体1に対する操作軸支持部2の位置を調整してなる。このため、施工完了時に、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面と、完全に同一の状態から、1ミリメートル程度上方に突出している状態までのいずれかの状態になる。しかしながら、段落0030に記載した、第一実施例と同じ作用・効果によって、本実施例では、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも突出している場合の機能的及び意匠的な問題を解消している。
また、上記のように構成された第三実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置において、弁部材10、ボタン部材3、円弧ガイド部材、レリースワイヤ11等に破損が生じた場合、段落0036に記載した、第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置と同じ手順で部材を取り外し、破損のない同部品と交換できる。

Through the process shown in FIG. 31, the drainage drain port 15 can be opened and closed by remote control. Further, in the remote control type drain plug device of the third embodiment configured as described above, the position adjustment is performed between the operation shaft 2 a and the button member 3 while using the positioning jig 7. For this reason, no matter how the thickness of the wall surface around the through hole H changes, the surface on the front side of the button member 3 can be made substantially flush with the surface on the front side around the through hole H when construction is completed. .
Further, the position adjustment of the button member 3 in the present embodiment is performed in units of 1 millimeter which is the pitch between the locking tooth 25 and the locked stepped portion 28. For this reason, “substantially the same surface” in this embodiment means that there is no step between the front side surface of the button member 3 and the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H, and the difference in height between the two is within 1 mm.

これらの浴槽Bや遠隔操作式排水栓装置に対する作業は工場で行われるため、作業空間を広く取ることができ、また作業を容易化する作業台などを設置し、また機材の揃った環境で行うことができる。更に、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の組み立て自体も、浴槽Bに接続していないことから、排水栓本体8や操作部本体1などの部材を、作業者が視認しやすく作業しやすい手元に置き、且つ作業しやすい位置・角度に配置したり移動・回転させる等しながら作業を行うことができる。このため、この段階までの遠隔操作式排水栓装置の組み立て作業は、従来例に比較して遙かに容易とすることができる。このようにして、第四実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置の排水栓本体8側は、図34の状態まで組み立てられる(排水口側は、第一実施例とガイド管の有無を除き同じであるため省略)。
The remote control type drain plug device of the fourth embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is constructed and attached to the bathtub B which is a tank body as follows. Although not described in detail, even in the case where there is no particular description, watertight connection is performed by using packing or the like at a portion where watertightness is required at a connection portion between members.
First, in a factory or the like, the connecting member is attached to the tank body drain 12 and the adapter member 1a is attached and fixed to the through hole H, respectively. In attaching the tank body outlet 12 and the connecting member, the connecting member is disposed below the bathtub B, and then the tank body outlet 12 and the drainage apparatus outlet 15 are arranged concentrically using a jig or the like. Then, the screw member V is screwed into the screw hole portion 13 through the opening of the flange portion 16, and the connecting member is attached and fixed from below the bathtub B. Moreover, in the connection between the through hole H and the adapter member 1a, the adapter member 1a is arranged below the bathtub B, and then the through hole H and the adapter member 1a are arranged concentrically using a jig or the like. The screw member V is screwed into the screw hole portion 13 through the opening of the flange portion 23, and the adapter member 1a is attached and fixed from below the bathtub B.
Also, a part of the remote-operated drain plug device is assembled at the same factory according to the following procedure.
First, one end of the guide tube 30 is connected to the insertion tube 19 of the drain plug main body 8, and the other end is connected to the lower end of the support housing member 1b.
Next, after connecting the operation shaft support 2 to the end of the release wire 11 on the side not provided with the valve shaft 11c, the release wire 11 is inserted into the support housing member 1b from above, and finally the operation shaft. The support part 2 is stored and fixed on the support part storage member 1b. At this time, the tip of the release wire 11 is disposed inside the drain plug main body 8 via the guide tube 30 and the insertion tube 19.
Further, the end of the release wire 11 is pulled up, the end of the release wire 11 is connected and fixed to the support member 9, and then the support member 9 is fitted and fixed to the uneven portion 20 of the drain plug body 8.
Since work on these bathtubs B and remote-controlled drain plug devices is performed in the factory, a large work space can be taken, a work table that facilitates the work is installed, and the work is performed in an environment where equipment is available. be able to. Furthermore, since the assembly of the remote-operated drain plug device itself is not connected to the bathtub B, members such as the drain plug main body 8 and the operation unit main body 1 are placed at hand so that the operator can easily see and work. In addition, the work can be performed while being arranged at a position / angle at which it is easy to work, or moved / rotated. For this reason, the assembly operation of the remote-operated drain plug device up to this stage can be made much easier than in the conventional example. In this way, the drain plug body 8 side of the remote control type drain plug device of the fourth embodiment is assembled up to the state of FIG. 34 (the drain port side is the same as the first embodiment except for the presence or absence of the guide tube. Omitted because there are.)

次に、上記段落0043の段階まで組み立てられた浴槽B及び遠隔操作式排水栓装置と、その他の部材を、施工現場に搬入する。施工現場では、排水栓本体8側、操作部側にそれぞれ以下のような作業が行われる。
排水栓本体8側では、排水栓本体8の上面の開口に、接続部材の下端部分を挿入し、排水栓本体8の排水栓側係合部17と、接続部材の排水栓側係合部17とを当接させる。更に排水栓側C字リング21を両排水栓側係合部17と係合させ、排水栓本体8と接続部材とを接続固定する。
このような接続を行う事で、接続部材と排水栓本体8は高さ方向に対しては常に同じ高さ位置、即ち操作部本体1の操作部側係合部32と、接続アダプターの操作部側係合部32とが当接した状態となる高さ位置に接続される。このため、接続部材に設けられた止水面16aに対して、排水栓本体8は定まった高さ位置に配置される。
Next, the bathtub B and the remote-operated drain plug device assembled up to the stage of the above paragraph 0043 and other members are carried into the construction site. At the construction site, the following operations are performed on the drain plug body 8 side and the operation unit side, respectively.
On the drain plug body 8 side, the lower end portion of the connection member is inserted into the opening on the upper surface of the drain plug body 8, and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the drain plug body 8 and the drain plug side engagement portion 17 of the connection member. And abut. Further, the drain plug side C-shaped ring 21 is engaged with both drain plug side engaging portions 17 to connect and fix the drain plug body 8 and the connection member.
By making such a connection, the connecting member and the drain plug body 8 are always at the same height position in the height direction, that is, the operation part side engaging part 32 of the operation part body 1 and the operation part of the connection adapter. It is connected to a height position where the side engaging portion 32 comes into contact. For this reason, the drain plug main body 8 is arranged at a fixed height position with respect to the water stop surface 16a provided on the connection member.

操作部側では、支持部収納部材1bの上方の開口に、アダプター部材1aの下端部分を挿入し、支持部収納部材1bの操作部側係合部32と、アダプター部材1aの操作部側係合部32とを当接させる。
更に操作部側C字リング35を両操作部側係合部32と係合させ、アダプター部材1aと支持部収納部材1bとを接続固定する。
更に浴槽Bの表側から弁部材10を弁軸部11cに、ボタン部材3を操作軸2aに、それぞれ嵌合固定させて、図32に示したような状態となり、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の施工が完了する。
このように構成したことで、排水口が閉口し、且つ使用者が何らかの操作を遠隔操作式排水栓装置に行っていない状態においては、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面より突出してなる。具体的なボタン部材3の突出の程度は、貫通孔H周縁の裏側の面の位置より、約25ミリメートル上方となるため、貫通孔H周縁の厚みが4ミリメートルであれば21ミリメートル、貫通孔H周縁の厚みが10ミリメートルであれば15ミリメートル、それぞれボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面より突出することとなる。
On the operation part side, the lower end portion of the adapter member 1a is inserted into the opening above the support part storage member 1b, and the operation part side engagement part 32 of the support part storage member 1b and the operation part side engagement of the adapter member 1a. The part 32 is brought into contact.
Furthermore, the operation part side C-shaped ring 35 is engaged with both operation part side engaging parts 32, and the adapter member 1a and the support part accommodating member 1b are connected and fixed.
Further, the valve member 10 is fitted to the valve shaft portion 11c and the button member 3 is fitted and fixed to the operation shaft 2a from the front side of the bathtub B, and the state as shown in FIG. 32 is obtained. Is completed.
With this configuration, when the drain is closed and the user is not performing any operation on the remote-controlled drain plug device, the front side surface of the button member 3 is the front side of the periphery of the through hole H. It protrudes from the surface. The specific degree of protrusion of the button member 3 is about 25 millimeters above the position of the back surface of the periphery of the through hole H. Therefore, if the thickness of the periphery of the through hole H is 4 millimeters, it is 21 millimeters. If the peripheral thickness is 10 mm, the front side surface of the button member 3 protrudes from the front side surface of the peripheral edge of the through-hole H by 15 mm.

上記のように施工された第四実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置は、以下のように操作することで、遠隔操作により排水装置排水口15を開閉できる。
まず、弁部材10が降下し、弁部材10の当接部22が止水面16aに当接している状態とする。この状態において操作部のボタン部材3に押し込み操作を加えると、ボタン部材3内部の弾性部材4によって、ボタン部材3がまず空押しを生じる。
段落0042に記載したように、排水口が閉口し、且つ使用者が何らかの操作を遠隔操作式排水栓装置に行っていない状態において、操作軸2aはアダプター部材1aの上端と同じ位置であり、且つボタン部材3はボタン部材3の表側の面が、操作軸2aの上端から2ミリメートルの高さに達した時、初めて操作軸2aを押し込む事が可能である。従って、貫通孔H周縁の厚みが4ミリメートル乃至10ミリメートルである一般的な浴槽Bにおいて、本実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置を使用する場合、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面と同じ高さとなり、更に下方に降下して、図35に示したように、貫通孔H周縁の裏側の面より2ミリメートル高い位置に達するまで、ボタン部材3は空押しを続ける。
ボタン部材3の表側の面が、操作軸2aの上端より2ミリメートル高い位置に達すると、ボタン部材3に押されるようにして、図36に示したように、操作軸2aが下方に押し込まれる。これにより、操作軸2aがインナーワイヤ11b側に突出し、それに伴ってインナーワイヤ11bがアウターチューブ11aに対し排水装置排水口15側へ突出し、弁部材10を押し上げて、止水面16aから当接部22が離間され、排水装置排水口15を開口する。使用者がボタン部材3の押し込みを終了させると、スラストロック機構により、この状態にて操作軸2aが固定され、排水装置排水口15の開口状態が維持される。また、弾性部材4も開放されるため、ボタン部材3は操作軸2a上を、抜け止め部3bと突部27とが当接する位置まで上昇した状態に戻る。
この状態から再度操作部のボタン部材3に押し込み操作を加えると、やはりボタン部材3の表側の面が、図36の状態になるまで空押しした上で、ボタン部材3に押されるようにして操作軸2aが押し込まれる。これによってスラストロック機構が動作し、スラストロック機構による操作軸2aの固定が解除される。このため、使用者がボタン部材3の押し込みを終了させると、弁部材10の自重及び戻りスプリングの作用によりインナーワイヤ11bが操作部側に後退し、弁部材10が降下して当接部22と止水面16aとが当接し、排水装置排水口15が閉口した状態に戻る。また、弾性部材4も開放されるため、ボタン部材3は操作軸2a上を、抜け止め部3bと突部27とが当接する位置まで上昇した状態に戻る。以後、同様の操作を繰り返すことで、遠隔操作的に、排水装置排水口15の開口/閉口を行うことができ、開口時には浴槽B内の排水を排出することができる。
The remote control type drain plug device of the fourth embodiment constructed as described above can open and close the drainage device drain port 15 by remote control by operating as follows.
First, the valve member 10 is lowered, and the contact portion 22 of the valve member 10 is in contact with the water stop surface 16a. When a pushing operation is applied to the button member 3 of the operation unit in this state, the button member 3 is first idle-pressed by the elastic member 4 inside the button member 3.
As described in paragraph 0042, in a state where the drain port is closed and the user has not performed any operation on the remote-controlled drain plug device, the operation shaft 2a is at the same position as the upper end of the adapter member 1a, and When the front surface of the button member 3 reaches a height of 2 millimeters from the upper end of the operation shaft 2a, it is possible to push the operation shaft 2a for the first time. Therefore, in the case of using the remote control type drain plug device of this embodiment in a general bathtub B having a thickness of 4 mm to 10 mm at the peripheral edge of the through hole H, the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is formed through the through hole H. As shown in FIG. 35, the button member 3 is idly pushed until it reaches a position 2 mm higher than the back side surface of the peripheral edge of the through hole H as shown in FIG. to continue.
When the front surface of the button member 3 reaches a position 2 millimeters higher than the upper end of the operation shaft 2a, the operation shaft 2a is pushed downward as shown in FIG. Thereby, the operation shaft 2a protrudes toward the inner wire 11b, and accordingly, the inner wire 11b protrudes toward the drainage device drainage port 15 with respect to the outer tube 11a, pushes up the valve member 10 and contacts the contact portion 22 from the water stop surface 16a. Are opened, and the drainage drainage 15 is opened. When the user finishes pushing the button member 3, the operation shaft 2 a is fixed in this state by the thrust lock mechanism, and the open state of the drainage device drainage port 15 is maintained. Further, since the elastic member 4 is also opened, the button member 3 returns to the state where the button member 3 is raised to the position where the retaining portion 3b and the projection 27 abut on the operation shaft 2a.
When a push operation is again applied to the button member 3 of the operation unit from this state, the operation is performed so that the front surface of the button member 3 is pressed to the state of FIG. The shaft 2a is pushed. As a result, the thrust lock mechanism operates, and the fixing of the operation shaft 2a by the thrust lock mechanism is released. For this reason, when the user finishes pushing the button member 3, the inner wire 11 b is retracted toward the operation portion due to the weight of the valve member 10 and the action of the return spring, and the valve member 10 is lowered to contact the contact portion 22. The water stop surface 16a comes into contact, and the drainage device drainage port 15 returns to the closed state. Further, since the elastic member 4 is also opened, the button member 3 returns to the state where the button member 3 is raised to the position where the retaining portion 3b and the projection 27 abut on the operation shaft 2a. Thereafter, by repeating the same operation, the drainage device drainage port 15 can be opened / closed remotely, and the wastewater in the bathtub B can be discharged at the time of opening.

本実施例において、排水口が閉口し、且つ使用者が何らかの操作を遠隔操作式排水栓装置に行っていない状態では、前述のようにボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面より突出してなる。具体的なボタン部材3の突出の程度は、貫通孔H周縁の厚みが4ミリメートルであれば21ミリメートル、貫通孔H周縁の厚みが10ミリメートルであれば15ミリメートル、それぞれボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面より突出することとなる。しかしながら、以下の理由によって、本実施例では、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面よりも突出している場合の機能的及び意匠的な問題を解消している。
ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも突出していることによる、機能的な問題としては、段落0010の理由1.に記載したように、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁のよりも突出しているため、浴槽Bに風呂蓋を被せたり、浴槽Bの使用者が誤ってボタン部材3に触れた時に、ボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁と面一になるまで押し込んでしまい、結果遠隔操作式排水栓装置が誤作動してしまう、という問題が上げられる。しかしながら、本実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置では、ボタン部材3に弾性部材4を組み込み、ボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁の裏側の面から2ミリメートル程迄の高さ位置に達するまで空押しする構成としている。段落0010に記載したように、浴槽Bなどの槽体の厚みは、品物によってまちまちであるが、多くは4ミリメートルから10ミリメートル程度の間であるため、この範囲にある浴槽Bを使用する限り、ボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁の表側の面より更に押し込まなければ操作軸2aの動作は起こらず、当然遠隔操作式排水栓装置が作動することもない。
このように、本実施例では、ボタン部材3の表側の面が、貫通孔H周縁の表側の面と同じか、それよりも奥側に押し込まれた位置になるまではボタン部材3が空押しとなり、それよりも下方に移動した状態となった場合に、初めてボタン部材3が操作軸2aを押し込むように構成してなる。つまり、ボタン部材3を貫通孔H周縁と完全に面一になるまで押し込んだだけでは、ボタン部材3が確実に空押しとなり、遠隔操作式排水栓装置が誤作動を起こすことを防ぐ構成としている。
ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも突出していることによる、意匠的な問題としては、ボタン部材3の表側の面が平端面であるため、ボタン部材3の表側の面は、同じ平端面である貫通孔H周縁、ひいては浴槽Bの上縁部分の平面と完全に面一であるほうが、意匠的な美観が整うものであり、ボタン部材3の突出はこの美観を損ねる、という問題が上げられる。
しかしながら、意匠的な美観とはあくまで使用者の主観によるものであり、このため、ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも充分に突出している方が、使用者によって好まれる場合もありうるものと考えられる。
また、例えば上記した、「ボタン部材3の表側の面が平端面であるため、ボタン部材3の表側の面は、同じ平端面である貫通孔H周縁と完全に面一であるほうが意匠的な美観が整う」という問題は、ボタン部材3の表側の面の形状を、平端面ではなく、半円形、円錐台などボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁から突出していても違和感を生じない形とするなどして容易に解決できうるものである。
尚、本実施例でのボタン部材3の、貫通孔H周縁に対する突出の程度は、貫通孔H周縁の厚みによってまちまちになるため、統一感が無い。しかしながら、この統一感が無い、という点に付いては、特に意匠的な問題が生じることはないと考えられる。なぜならば、浴槽Bを個別に見る限り、ほとんどの使用者にとっては、「ボタン部材3が貫通孔H周縁よりも突出している」以上の意匠的相違を生じるものではない。複数の浴槽Bを横並びにして比較すれば、突出の程度の相違に気が付くことも考えられるが、浴槽Bを複数横並びに配置することは通常無いので、「ボタン部材3の、貫通孔H周縁に対する突出の程度が浴槽Bごとに異なる」という点は、使用者にとって、気が付くことのない相違に過ぎず、問題を生じることはない。
In the present embodiment, when the drain port is closed and the user is not performing any operation on the remote-controlled drain plug device, the front side surface of the button member 3 is the front side of the periphery of the through hole H as described above. It protrudes from the surface. Specifically, the degree of protrusion of the button member 3 is 21 millimeters when the thickness of the peripheral edge of the through hole H is 4 millimeters, and 15 millimeters when the thickness of the peripheral edge of the through hole H is 10 millimeters. However, it will protrude from the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through-hole H. However, for the following reason, in this embodiment, the functional and design problems in the case where the front side surface of the button member 3 protrudes from the front side surface of the periphery of the through hole H are solved.
As a functional problem due to the button member 3 protruding beyond the periphery of the through-hole H, the reason for paragraph 0010 is as follows. Since the button member 3 protrudes more than the periphery of the through-hole H as described in 1., when the user of the bathtub B touches the button member 3 accidentally, the button member 3 touches the button member 3 Is pushed until it is flush with the periphery of the through-hole H, resulting in a problem that the remote-operated drain plug device malfunctions. However, in the remote-operated drain plug device of the present embodiment, the elastic member 4 is incorporated in the button member 3, and the button member 3 is idle-pressed until reaching a height position of about 2 millimeters from the back side surface of the periphery of the through hole H. It is configured to do. As described in paragraph 0010, the thickness of the tank body such as the bathtub B varies depending on the article, but since it is mostly between about 4 millimeters and 10 millimeters, as long as the bathtub B in this range is used, If the button member 3 is not further pushed in from the surface on the front side of the periphery of the through hole H, the operation shaft 2a does not operate, and naturally the remote-operated drain plug device does not operate.
Thus, in this embodiment, the button member 3 is idle-pressed until the surface on the front side of the button member 3 is the same as the surface on the front side of the peripheral edge of the through hole H or is pushed into the back side. Thus, the button member 3 is configured to push the operation shaft 2a for the first time when it has moved downward. In other words, when the button member 3 is only pushed in until it is completely flush with the periphery of the through-hole H, the button member 3 is surely pushed and the remote-operated drain plug device is prevented from malfunctioning. .
As a design problem due to the button member 3 protruding beyond the periphery of the through-hole H, the front side surface of the button member 3 is a flat end surface, and therefore the front side surface of the button member 3 is the same flat end surface. There is a problem that the design aesthetics are better when the periphery of a certain through-hole H and thus the flat surface of the upper edge of the bathtub B are completely flush, and the protrusion of the button member 3 impairs this aesthetics. .
However, the design aesthetics are based solely on the user's subjectivity. For this reason, it may be preferred by the user that the button member 3 protrudes more sufficiently than the periphery of the through hole H. Conceivable.
Further, for example, as described above, “the front side surface of the button member 3 is a flat end surface. Therefore, it is more desirable that the front side surface of the button member 3 is completely flush with the periphery of the through hole H that is the same flat end surface. The problem that “the aesthetic appearance is adjusted” is that the shape of the front surface of the button member 3 is not a flat end surface, but a shape that does not cause a sense of incongruity even if the button member 3 protrudes from the periphery of the through hole H, such as a semicircular shape or a truncated cone. Etc. can be easily solved.
In addition, since the extent of the protrusion of the button member 3 in this embodiment with respect to the periphery of the through hole H varies depending on the thickness of the periphery of the through hole H, there is no sense of unity. However, it seems that there is no particular design problem with respect to the lack of unity. This is because as long as the bathtub B is viewed individually, for most users, the design difference more than “the button member 3 protrudes from the periphery of the through hole H” does not occur. When comparing a plurality of bathtubs B side by side, it may be possible to notice a difference in the degree of protrusion. However, since it is not usual to arrange a plurality of bathtubs B side by side, The point that the degree of protrusion differs for each bathtub B is merely a difference that the user does not notice, and does not cause a problem.

また、上記のように構成された第四実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置において、弁部材10、ボタン部材3、円弧ガイド部材、レリースワイヤ11等に破損が生じた場合、段落0035に記載した、第二実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置と同じ手順で部材を取り外し、破損のない同部品と交換できる。   Further, in the remote-operated drain plug device of the fourth embodiment configured as described above, when the valve member 10, the button member 3, the arc guide member, the release wire 11 or the like is damaged, it is described in paragraph 0035. The member can be removed in the same procedure as the remote-operated drain plug device of the second embodiment and replaced with the same component without damage.

また上記実施例の遠隔操作式排水栓装置では、スラストロック機構を備え、操作体を押し込むことで排水口の開閉を行うように構成されているが、本発明は上記実施例に限定されるものではなく、スラストロック機構を省略し、操作体から操作軸2a、インナーワイヤ11b、弁軸、弁部材10までを嵌合などにより固定させ、操作体を押し引きすることで排水口を開閉するように構成しても良い。
また、上記第三実施例では、操作部本体1をアダプター部材1aと作動部収納部材の2つの部材から構成し、この2つの部材の間で位置調節を行うように構成してなるが、本発明は上記実施例に限定されるものではなく、操作軸2aを2つの部材から構成したり、ボタン部材3(特に円筒部3a)を2つの部材から構成し、その2つの部材の間で位置調節を行うように構成しても構わない。
