Abstract:
1. A faucet structure, comprising a faucet molded of high/low-temperature resistant plastic material wherein the faucet has a valve body with a connecting tube detachably mounted to the middle section thereon to form a collapsible-type assembly thereby, and the connecting tube, equipped with a set of coupling ends and an assembly section thereon, has an outlet sleeve joined to both coupling ends respectively; both end sides of each outlet sleeve are respectively coupled with an accommodating tube with a water-flow control valve received therein, and an inlet connecting pipe in mutual communication therewith; a panel is equipped with a set of bores disposed at both sides for the extension of the accommodating tubes there-through respectively, and a passage for the mounting of the assembly section of the connecting tube there-through; the panel also includes a clearance recess for the extension of a lift rod there-through, and a set of through holes for the fixing of screws therewith; a cover equipped with a set of holes corresponding to the bores of the panel is situated opposite to the panel for the extension of the inlet connecting pipe there-through; thus, the valve body is retained in place between the panel and the cover, permitting the accommodating tubes and the inlet connecting pipes to extend outwards and respectively secure to a locking element for firm location thereby; a handle seat equipped with a grip is mounted to one side of the water-flow control valve; an upper housing equipped with locating posts and a lift rod hole is reciprocally engaged with a lower housing equipped with an opening, screw holes, and a clearance hole to enclose an outlet duct therein and form a water supply seat corresponding to the passage, the clearance recess, and the through holes of the panel, and the assembly section of the connecting tube for assembly thereof; via the aforementioned structure, the faucet of the present invention can omit the complicated and difficult assembling process, reducing the costs of production and material to render the present invention more competitive on the market.
