Abstract

The toilet bowl (10) is connected to an evacuation pipe comprising a telescopic pipe module (2), each of its ends being connected to a flexible connection (9,14) at the output of the bowl. A sliding back (1) has a curved extension part (5) at its upper end designed to avoid pinching any object or part of the users body in the cavity for the sliding back.. The mechanism has a sliding back (1) in which freely circulates a plate (4) supporting the WC bowl. The slide is hinged on an axis (11) to a triangular base fixed to the ground. The plate is connected at an end (12) to a motorized jack (6) and the other end moves horizontally in the opening (13) formed in the ground fixed support (7)

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour lever et incliner une cuvette de W.-C. suspendue permettant ainsi le déplacement vertical de la cuvette ainsi que de la personne qui se trouve dessus, mais aussi son inclinaison vers l'avant. The present invention relates to a device for lifting and tilting a toilet bowl suspended thereby allowing the vertical movement of the bowl as well as the person on it, but also its tilt forward.

01485 divulgue une cuvette de W.-C. réglable en hauteur dont les principales caractéristiques sont un vérin souple ainsi qu'un guide permettant la levée de la cuvette et un système d'ouverture et de fermeture automatique de l'abattant de toilette selon que la cuvette soit en position haute ou basse. Le dispositif du vérin à eau est susceptible de se gripper sous l'effet du calcaire. De plus dispositif est plus lent qu'un vérin hydraulique et oblige l'utilisateur â avoir une chasse d'eau avec réservoir. 01485 discloses a height-adjustable toilet bowl, the main characteristics of which are a flexible cylinder as well as a guide allowing the bowl to be lifted and an automatic opening and closing system for the toilet seat depending on whether the bowl is in the high or low position. The water cylinder device is liable to seize up under the effect of limescale. In addition, the device is slower than a hydraulic cylinder and forces the user to have a flush with tank.

PCT/FR81/00052 divulgue un support mobile, notamment pour appareils sanitaires dont les principales caractéristiques sont un support mobile, qui se deplace dans un support fixe lui-même solidarisé à la paroi du local. Le support fixe peut être incurvé et ainsi permettre l'avancé du support mobile et donc de la cuvette de toilette. Ce dispositif se propose de mettre la cuvette la hauteur de l'utilisateur mais ne permet pas de soulever les personnes. Ce dispositif nécessite pour son installat fixation à un mur porteur puisqu'il est fixé à celui-ci. avancé du support mobile est limité par l'incurvation maximale que peut accepter le support fixe.  PCT / FR81 / 00052 discloses a mobile support, in particular for sanitary appliances whose main characteristics are a mobile support, which moves in a fixed support itself secured to the wall of the room. The fixed support can be curved and thus allow the advancement of the mobile support and therefore of the toilet bowl. This device proposes to place the bowl at the height of the user but does not allow people to be lifted. This device requires for its installat fixing to a load-bearing wall since it is fixed to the latter. Advanced mobile support is limited by the maximum bending that the fixed support can accept.

Le dispositif selon l'invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients. The device according to the invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks.

I1 propose en effet le réglage de la cuvette de W.-C. en hauteur et en profondeur, permettant ainsi d'aider les personnes dont la mobilité est réduite à se relever. Le support est formé d'une glissière mobile rattachée au sol par un socle évitant ainsi l'utilisation d'un mur porteur comme le propose PCT/FR81/00052. La cuvette est rattachée au système par une platine mobile composée de différents roulements permettant de coulisser dans la glissière. La platine étant entraînée par le moyen d'un vérin à moteur. Le support du vérin étant lui-même mobile, il permet le réglage de la profondeur de la platine et par conséquent du dispositif tout entier, dans la mesure où celui ci se déplace en fonction de la platine. I1 indeed proposes the adjustment of the toilet bowl in height and depth, thus making it possible to help people whose mobility is reduced to get up. The support is formed by a movable slide attached to the ground by a base thus avoiding the use of a load-bearing wall as proposed by PCT / FR81 / 00052. The bowl is attached to the system by a mobile plate made up of different bearings allowing it to slide in the slide. The plate being driven by means of a motor actuator. The support of the jack being itself movable, it allows the depth of the plate and consequently of the entire device to be adjusted, insofar as the latter moves as a function of the plate.

L'évacuation se fait par l'intermédiaire d'un coude souple rattaché à la cuvette et d'un système de tuyaux télescopique, s'imbriquant les uns dans les autres, ainsi qu'un deuxième coude souple raccordé à l'égout. Ce dispositif permet ainsi l'évacuation des déchets en position haute comme en position basse. The evacuation is done by means of a flexible elbow attached to the bowl and a system of telescopic pipes, nesting in each other, as well as a second flexible elbow connected to the sewer. This device thus allows the evacuation of waste in the high position as in the low position.

L'alimentation en eau et le nettoyage de la cuvette font par un tuyaux d'alimentation souple permettant de suivre course du dispositif, ce tuyau est directement raccordé à la conduite d'arrivée d'eau permettant ainsi économies d'eau. The water supply and the cleaning of the bowl are done by a flexible supply pipe making it possible to follow the course of the device, this pipe is directly connected to the water supply pipe thus saving water.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de permettre l'utilisation d'un vérin hydraulique unique, d'où une économie d'énergie et un système plus rapide et silencieux que le verin à eau. Another object of the invention is to allow the use of a single hydraulic cylinder, resulting in energy savings and a faster and quieter system than the water cylinder.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de proposer un carénage au dispositif permettant de l'insérer dans un et d'éviter ainsi que des objets ou parties du corps ne se coincent lors de l'avancé du dispositif. Cela permet aussi d'améliorer l'aspect esthétique du support. Another object of the invention is to propose a fairing to the device making it possible to insert it into one and thus to prevent objects or parts of the body from getting caught during the advancement of the device. This also improves the aesthetic appearance of the support.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de proposer une poignée escamotable fixée au dispositif et permettant à fois une aide supplémentaire pour se relever, ainsi qu' commande de montée et de descente et d'un réglage de la profondeur désirée. Another object of the invention is to provide a retractable handle fixed to the device and allowing both additional help to get up, as well as up and down control and an adjustment of the desired depth.

Un autre objet de l'invention est d'automatiser la commande de chasse d'eau lorsque le dispositif est position basse et qu'il n'y a pas d'utilisateur. Another object of the invention is to automate the flush control when the device is in the low position and there is no user.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de proposer montée et la descente d'un urinoir ainsi que son inclinaison en avant position haute. Another object of the invention is to propose ascent and descent of a urinal as well as its inclination in the forward high position.

utilisateur ayant des problèmes de mobilité et souhaitant utiliser le dispositif, peut régler la hauteur à laquelle il veut commencer à s'asseoir, (cette hauteur pouvant être configuré pour plusieurs utilisateurs) puis il peut commander la descente du dispositif à une hauteur qui lui convient, et à la fin il peut se relever en étant accompagné dans ses efforts par le dispositif, la poignée lui servant de canne en position verticale. user with mobility problems and wishing to use the device, can adjust the height at which he wants to start sitting, (this height can be configured for several users) then he can control the descent of the device to a height that suits him , and at the end he can get up by being accompanied in his efforts by the device, the handle serving as a cane in a vertical position.
