Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for flushing a urinal (1). In accordance with the invention, a vibration in the urinal or the liquid (4) contained in it generated by the use of the urinal is detected by a vibration transducer, such as a piezoelectric transducer (9), after which flushing is started by an electric signal emitted by the transducer. The transducer (9) may be located on the outer surface of the wall (10) of a trough-shaped urinal vessel (2), or the transducer (9", 9"') may be located on the outer surface of the urinal wall at the urinal bottom or in the water seal (5), or the transducer (9", 9"") may be located in the liquid (4) provided at the urinal bottom or in the water seal (5). <IMAGE>
