  • Patent number: 10844580
    Abstract: The faucet apparatus arranged inside a counter along a wall surface can be made thin in a height direction, and the counter can be made thin in the height direction. The faucet apparatus 1 includes a cold water supply pipe 6 supplying cold water, a hot water supply pipe 8 supplying hot water, a water temperature control function unit 10 capable of mixing hot water and cold water, and a flow path 14 extending from the water temperature control function unit. The flow path 14 forms a flow path crossing part 40, 240 crossing with at least any of at least the cold water supply pipe 6, the hot water supply pipe 8 or a downstream side flow path 220 on a downstream side of the outflow path while distinguishing respective inner flow paths from each other.

  • Patent number: 7740191
    Abstract: A shower device includes: a driving unit including a housing and a core allowed to reciprocate by water which is introduced into the housing; a shower part allowed to swing; a water guide channel introducing water which is introduced into the housing to the shower part; and a power transmission part transmitting a motion of the core to the shower part. The shower part sprinkles water while swinging when water is introduced into the housing.

  • Publication number: 20100059604
    Abstract: A shower apparatus includes: a shower unit operable for swinging and sprinkling water while swinging; a driving unit configured to generate driving force which is used for the swing of the shower unit by water; a shower channel configured to guide water to the shower unit via the driving unit; a power transmission unit configured to couple the driving unit with the shower unit and transmit the driving force generated by the driving unit to the shower unit; and a swing stop mechanism operable to stop the swinging of the shower unit. The shower unit sprinkles the water that is used for generating the driving force at the driving unit. The swing stop mechanism is configured to stop the swinging of the shower unit while keeping sprinkling water from the shower unit. The sprinkling flow rate from the shower unit before stopping the swinging is equal to the sprinkling flow rate from the shower unit after stopping the swinging.
