Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/018402
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
To provide a combination faucet that can regulate a predetermined state of a water discharge flow rate by means of a simple structure, a valve unit (80) that is the combination faucet is provided with: a lever shaft (90) that can adjust the mixing fraction of water and hot water and the outflow rate of the mixed water; a range-of-motion limiting hole (116) that limits the range of motion of the lever shaft (90); a pin (92) that protrudes from the lever shaft (90); and a lever shaft support section groove (112). The lever shaft support section groove (112) has: a free-motion section (113) that allows the pin (92) to enter inside, and that causes the pin (92), which moves along with the operation of the lever shaft (90), to be able to move in a limited range of motion that is the range of motion of the lever shaft (90) limited by the range-of-motion limiting hole (116); a motion limiting section (115) that limits the motion of the lever shaft (90) by means of limiting the motion of the pin (92) resulting from the motion of the lever shaft (90) in a predetermined direction of the limited range of motion; and a slide section (114) that enables the pin (92) to move between the free-motion section (113) and the motion limiting section (115).
