Silencer and water supply device
View Patent ↗A muffling apparatus capable of attaining the prevention of the occurrence of a noise reliably while making concrete the reduction of the manufacturing cost and the easiness of the assembling of the same apparatus, and a feed water apparatus having such a muffling effect are provided. The muffling apparatus 2 is an apparatus connected to a jet pipe 1 adapted to send out the water, which flows in a feed water passage 1 a in the interior thereof, into storage water W. The apparatus has a tubular portion 4 connected to an upstream side portion of the jet pipe 1 so that the tubular portion 4 extend downward, and having therein a water supply passage 4 a communicating with the feed water passage 1 a , and a housing 3 connected water-tightly to an upstream side portion of the jet pipe 1 and an upper section of the tubular portion 4 , enclosing a lower section of the tubular portion 4 , connected water-tightly to a downstream side portion of the jet pipe 1 , and capable of storing the air, which is in the interior of the jet pipe 1 , in the portion of the interior of the housing 3 which is outside the tubular portion 4 . The tubular portion 4 is provided at an upper section thereof with an air hole 4 b made through a wall thereof so as to communicate the water supply passage 4 a with the interior of the housing 3.
1. A feed water apparatus connected to a jet port of a Western style flush toilet stool and adapted to send out water, flowing through a feed water passage therein, into storage water existing in said Western style flush toilet stool, comprising:
a downwardly extending feed water pipe adapted to pass the water downward therethrough; and
a horizontal feed water pipe configured to be in fluid communication with the downwardly extending feed water pipe and adapted to pass the water horizontally or substantially horizontally therethrough, wherein
said downwardly extending feed water pipe has a cylindrical muffling portion which is combined therewith in one body, is adapted to stall air that is about to pass therethrough with the water owing to a larger inner diameter of said muffling portion, and water passing through said muffling portion draws out the stalled air in the form of very small bubbles,
said horizontal feed water pipe is provided with bellows which will stall air contained in the feed water.
2. A feed water apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said feed water passage is formed by a tubular feed water pipe.
