Abstract

A connection structure for faucet water discharge tube and faucet body and particularly an improved connection structure to resolve the problems of connecting the water discharge tube by soldering that occur to modern faucets. The faucet body has a two-step opening formed on the inner wall to couple with an outer screw coupling tube. The outer screw coupling tube is extended outside the faucet body to couple with screw threads formed on the inner wall of a water discharge tube to form a passage inside the faucet body and the water discharge tube. Assembly can be accomplished rapidly and the connection juncture is smooth. Difficult polishing process can be eliminated. Pores and defective soldering occurred in the soldering process decrease, and loss resulting from defective products is lower. Production cost can be greatly reduced and the aesthetic appeal of finished products increases.

Claims2

Dependent claims

A connection structure for faucet water discharge tube and faucet body, comprising:

a faucet body being a hollow duct and having a top end formed an opening to couple with a handle seat and a two-step opening formed on a front side thereof, the two-step opening having a first inner diameter and a second inner diameter which is greater than the first inner diameter;
a water discharge tube having an inner screw hole;
an outer screw coupling duct having an outer screw thread section, a flange ring formed on one end thereof, a neck adjacent to an inner side of the flange ring to couple with a seal ring, and an axial through hole formed therein, the through hole having a tool notch formed on one end adjacent to the flange ring;
and
a coupling bushing being a hollow sleeve and having internal screw threads to couple with the outer screw thread section of the outer screw coupling duct and external screw threads to couple with the inner screw hole of the water discharge tube.
