1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a water faucet, in particular a water faucet comprises a main body having a water outlet, a water control close to the water outlet, and an outer cover close to either the water outlet or the water control to protect the water control from being dismantled.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional water faucet uses a knob as a switch to turn on and off the faucet and to control the water volume. The knob operated by many people may carry germs and pass to the next operator.
Therefore, a water faucet with a control under the water outlet was derived. However, the control is threaded to the water outlet and is easy to be dismantled. Due to the incident, an integral faucet is developed. But this design must replace the whole set when any part is broken. Further, this newly designed water faucet uses plastic material, which is less strong in structure than metal material. If an operator pushes rough, the control may be broken after a certain times.
In view of this, the present inventor has derived the present invention to improve the shortcomings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is the primary advantage of the present invention to provide a water faucet, which is secure to protect the water faucet from being dismantled.
It is another advantage of the present invention to provide a water faucet, which is easy to repair and to exchange parts.
It is a further advantage of the present invention to provide a water faucet, which is easy to operate and lasts longer.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
As shown in
The main body 2 is provided with the outer cover 1 close to either the water outlet or the water control 3 to protect the water control 3 from being dismantled.
The outer cover 1 and the main body 2 may either be welded together when installed on the public area or be dismantled when installed at home. The outer cover 1 also works as a protection of the water control 3 from a direct contact with the operator, in particular to protect the water control 3 from being damaged by a rough operator.
The outer cover 1 comprises a rib 11, a through hole 12, a pair of fasteners 13, a groove 14 and a washer 15, as shown in FIG, 2. The fasteners 13 are pins. The main body 2 comprises fasteners 21 corresponding to the fasteners 13 of the outer cover 1. The fasteners 21 of the main body 2 are holes having elastic sleeves 211 therein. The main body 2 and the outer cover 1 are connected together by means of connection of the fasteners 21 and 13. The rib 11 protects the water control 3 from being dismantled illegally. The center portion of the outer cover 1 has the through hole 12 for a push rod of the water control 3 to extend there through. The groove 14 is sealed with the washer 15 to maintain the outer cover 1 attached to the main body 1 securely.
