Faucet structure
Abstract
A faucet structure includes a guide pipe main body and a pipe covering member. The guide pipe main body includes a seat body and a pair of guide pipes at two opposing sides of the seat body. Each guide pipe has a plurality of annular protruding ribs (or annular grooves) and at least one stop block (or one stop recess) on an outer wall thereof. Each guide pipe further has a positioning arcuate trough. The pipe covering member cooperates with positioning auxiliary poles and positioning auxiliary rods to cover the outer walls of the seat body and the guide pipes to form a covering pipe and positioning covering pipes. The pipe covering member further includes a pair of valve seats and a pair of inlet pipes at two sides thereof. The top and the bottom of the seat body are respectively connected with the positioning auxiliary poles, and the positioning arcuate troughs at the two outer ends of the guide pipes are connected with the positioning auxiliary rods to stable the positioning. After that, the plastic material is injected on the seat body, the guide pipes, and the positioning auxiliary rods to combine with the covering pipe, the positioning covering pipes, the valve seats and the inlet pipes of the pipe covering member. The inlet pipe has an outer threaded section or an annular groove section to connect with a threaded sleeve made of copper. Finally, the positioning auxiliary poles and the positioning auxiliary rods are detached from the guide pipe main body to complete the manufacture of the faucet. The present invention can be positioned easily, without the need of assembly.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A faucet structure, comprising:
a guide pipe main body made of a plastic material by injection, the guide pipe main body including a seat body and a pair of guide pipes at two opposing sides of the seat body, each of the guide pipes having a positioning arcuate trough at an outer end thereof; and a pipe covering member made of a plastic material by injection, the pipe covering member including a covering pipe and a pair of positioning covering pipes corresponding to the seat body and the pair of guide pipes of the guide pipe main body, the pipe covering member further comprising a pair of valve seats and a pair of inlet pipes which cooperates with positioning auxiliary rods, each of the inlet pipes having an outer threaded section thereon.
2 . The faucet structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the guide pipes has a plurality of annular protruding ribs or annular grooves on an outer wall thereof.
3 . The faucet structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the guide pipes has at least one stop block or stop recess on an outer wall thereof.
4 . The faucet structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the inlet pipes has an annular groove section thereon to engage with a threaded sleeve made of copper.
5 . The faucet structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the covering pipe, the valve seats and the inlet pipes of the pipe covering member are made by injecting the plastic material on the positioning auxiliary rods so that the valve seats and the inlet pipes are integrally formed.
6 . The faucet structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning auxiliary rods are fitted on the top or bottom of the seat body or connected to the positioning arcuate troughs of the guide pipes.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
