Device for Installing and Removing a Faucet Retainer

The present application relates to the technical field of faucet attachments, and in particular to a device for installing and removing a faucet retainer.

Currently, some faucets need installation retainers inside, the installation retainers play a role to fix the faucets, and installation positions of the installation retainers are generally hidden, which is not easy to install and remove, thus it needs to use a special tool to quickly install and remove such retainers. Although there are tools on the market for installing and removing such retainers, it is often inconvenient to use, additional wrenches need to be used to rotate the tools to install and remove the retainers, resulting in installation and removal of the retainers requires a lot of time, which is inconvenience to use.

The present disclosure aims to provide a device for installing and removing a faucet retainer to address problems of inconvenient installation and removal of current faucet retainers.

To achieve above objectives, the present disclosure adopts following technical solutions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a device for installing and removing a faucet retainer is provided, including a sleeve and a handle. Herein the sleeve is provided with a demountable block at a lower end thereon for installing and removing the faucet retainer, the handle is disposed on the sleeve, and the handle is configured to drive the sleeve to rotate for installing and removing the faucet retainer.

Preferably, the handle is disposed at one end of the sleeve away from the demountable block.

Preferably, the handle and the sleeve are arranged perpendicular to each other.

Preferably, the sleeve is provided with a sliding hole, the sliding hole is arranged on an outer wall of the sleeve along a radial direction running through the sleeve, and the handle is slidably provided in the sliding hole.

Preferably, the sliding hole is circular and the handle is cylindrical.

Preferably, the handle is provided with end caps at both ends and the end caps are configured to limit a position of the handle in the sliding hole.

Preferably, the end caps are removably connected to the handle.

The device for installing and removing the faucet retainer of the present disclosure has at least beneficial effects and advantages as follows.

The device for installing and removing the faucet retainer of the present disclosure, by setting the demountable block at the lower end of the sleeve, so that the demountable block can cooperate with the faucet retainer to realize installation and removal of retainer. In addition, the handle is set on the sleeve, and a main function of the handle is to drive the sleeve to rotate, through such rotating actions, the demountable block can be driven to install or remove the faucet retainer, thus replacing current ways of installing and removing the sleeve by clamping it with tool holders such as pliers, which is easy and fast to operate.

Furthermore, by setting the sliding hole on the sleeve, the handle can be slidingly set in the sliding hole, which allows an operator to adjust a depth of the handle installation according to actual needs. And through adjustment of different depths, the handle can be flexibly operated in occasions where a space is limited, wall obstruction can be avoided, and installation and removal time can be reduced.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown into, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a device for installing and removing a faucet retainer is provided, which is especially suitable for those occasions where the faucet retainer needs to be installed and removed quickly. The device mainly includes two parts, such as a sleeveand a handle, by an ingenious structural design, which makes the installation and removal of the faucet retainer more convenient and quicker.

Specifically, the sleeveis provided with a demountable blockat a lower end thereon, and the demountable blockis specially designed to cooperate with the faucet retainer to install and remove such retainer. Such design of the demountable blocktakes into account a structure of the faucet retainer and a mounting position, to ensure that it can be operated accurately and efficiently. In addition, the handleis provided on the sleeveand is located at one end of the sleeveaway from the demountable block. Such a layout makes an operator to be able to easily hold the handleduring operation, and meanwhile also to avoid interference with a position of the faucet retainer. The handleplays a main role to drive the sleeveto rotate, and through such rotating actions, the demountable blockcan be driven to install or remove the faucet retainer, thus replacing current ways of installing and removing the sleeve by clamping it with tool holders such as pliers, which is easy and fast to operate.

Furthermore, the handleand the sleeveare arranged perpendicular to each other. Such design not only can make a whole device more compact, but also can provide better operational stability. When the operator holds the handfor rotation, since the handleis perpendicular to the sleeve, it is able to apply force more easily, thus improving an efficiency of operation.

To further improve the flexibility of operation, the sleeveis provided with a sliding hole, the sliding holeis arranged on an outer wall of the sleevealong a radial direction running through the sleeve, and the handleis slidably provided in the sliding hole. In this way, the operator can adjust a depth of installation of the handleaccording to actual needs, and through adjustment of different depths, the handlecan be flexibly operated in occasions with limited space, avoiding wall obstruction and also reducing installation and removal time.

Specifically, the sliding holeis designed as circular and the handleis designed as cylindrical. Such designs allow the handleto slide smoothly in the sliding holewithout jamming or wobbling. And at the same time, the handlehaving cylindrical also can provide a good grip and makes the operation more comfortable.

In some embodiments, the handleis prismatic, for example, a quadrangular.

In some other embodiments, the handleis prismatic, while all corners of the prismatic are rounded to provide the good grip.

In some other embodiments, the handleis cone frustum, which enables the handleto be inserted into the sliding hole, so that one end of the handlecannot be detached from the sliding hole, thereby improving usage experience.

In some embodiments, as shown inand, to limit a position of the handlein the sliding holeand prevent it from being fallen off from the sleeveand lost when it is stored or operated, the handleis provided with end capsat both ends so that the handlewill not be fallen off, thereby avoiding cases that loss of the handle.

In some other embodiments, as shown inand, the end capsand the handleare connected with a removable connection, such as threaded connection, snap connection, and so on. In this way, manufacturers can save packaging space, and when users receive such product for use, they can install the end capson the handleby themselves.

The device for installing and removing the faucet retainer of the present disclosure, by a reasonable structural designs and functional layout, which not only the installation and removal tasks of the faucet retainer can be completed efficiently, but also the operation is simple and flexible, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

Obviously, above described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
