Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device ensuring automatically the disinfection of the bowl and the seat of a toilet, before making it available to a user.
  • everyone is frequently called upon to use WCs for collective use on various occasions in everyday life, for example at work, during trips (either in means of transport such as the train , the boat or the plane, either in stations or terminals, or even on the road for example in parking places or petrol stations), or in places of entertainment and relaxation (theaters, restaurants, etc. ..).
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks presented by the known devices mentioned above and for this purpose it proposes a device of great simplicity of manufacture, of low cost price and of high operating efficiency. allowing any user to obtain automatically, without complicated or dangerous operation, a total disinfection of the bowl and the seat of the WC equipped with this device.
  • the folding lid normally associated with the seat of the toilet seat, is designed to wrap on all sides, in the folded position, said seat and it has suitably distributed on its inner face and on its peripheral edge diffusion openings connected by conduits, advantageously arranged inside said cover, to a tank containing a pressurized disinfectant product, means carried by the folding cover acting on said tank to control, when the cover is in the fully folded down position, the spraying to through the spray diffusion openings of the disinfectant product then reaching the entire interior surface of the bowl, as well as the upper surface of the fixed seat and the upper and lower surfaces of the folding seat.
  • a seal made of a material resistant to the action of the disinfection product, which when the convercle is folded back cooperates closely with the upper surface of the bowl to prevent any infiltration of the product to the outside.
  • the hinged cover has, behind its pivot axis, a fixed element in the form of a housing designed to receive the spraying control head from the reservoir of disinfectant product and into which opens one end of a flexible duct intended for adapt to the outlet orifice of said control head while the other end of this conduit coincides, in the folded position of the cover, with the inlet orifice of the conduits formed in the cover.
  • the lower part of this box has an opening in which a neck of the disinfectant product reservoir is engaged by a side door in order to ensure the fixing of the latter, this neck having for this purpose a particular I-shaped profile.
  • the upper part of the housing is open to allow, when the cover is raised, an extension forming a lever integral with this cover to then engage the mobile head for spraying the reservoir.
  • a disinfectant product with practically instantaneous drying is used, for example based on alcohol or on a refrigerant known under the brand name "FEEON", and provision may be made to give the shape of the telescope a certain curvature towards the inside to facilitate the flow towards the bowl of the sprayed product on the upper face of the telescope.
  • FEEON refrigerant
  • the cover when it is in the raised position, activates by its extension the control head of the disinfectant product reservoir, but at this time the inlet orifice of the spray conduits formed in the cover is not located not facing the outlet of the flexible conduit associated with the tank head (this outlet is then closed by a solid part of the cover) and the product is therefore not sprayed.
  • the cover When the cover is then folded down, the two holes mentioned above come opposite one another and the spraying is then carried out for a short period of time determined by a spring system which acts on the control head to return it to the rest position.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a toilet bowl equipped with the device automatic disinfection according to the present invention
  • Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the bowl of Figure 1
  • FIG. 3 is a side view, partially in section, showing more particularly the device for automatic actuation of the reservoir of disinfectant product.
  • a cover 5 Around a horizontal axis 4 is articulated, at its rear part, a cover 5 having on its periphery of the flanges allowing this cover, when it is in a folded position shown in Figures 1 and 2, to wrap the bezel 3.
  • the cover 5 On its periphery, the cover 5 has a seal 6 made of a resistant material to the attack of chemicals, and in particular disinfectants, and which is designed to come into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bowl 1 in the folded position of the cover 5.
  • the cover 5 is made of molded plastic and it comprises, from molding, conduits 7 which open on the internal face of the cover by diffusion heads 8. These heads 8 are arranged on the entire flat inner face of the cover 5 as well as on the curved inner edges thereof so that, when the conduits 7 are supplied with a disinfectant product so that will explain later, the heads 8 spray jets of product which reach the entire inner surface of the bowl 1, the whole seat 2 and all of the upper and lower faces of the telescope 3. All the ducts 7 supplying the heads of diffusion 8 lead to a main duct 9 disposed at the rear part of the cover 5 and this main duct 9 opens out through an orifice 10 on an arcuate part 11 of the rear end of the cover 5.
  • the cover 5 is extended by a fixed part 12 in the form of a housing providing an interior chamber 13, the bottom wall 14 of which is open at 15.
  • the neck of a reser is engaged laterally see 16 containing a disinfectant product under pressure, so that the movable head 17 for controlling the ejection of the product is housed inside the chamber 13 while the body of the reservoir 16 extends under the housing 12.
  • the neck of the reservoir 16 has in vertical section a particular shape in I with upper shoulders 18 and lower 18 'which engage on either side of the lower wall 14. Springs 19 carried by the lower face of the wall 14 engage the shoulder 18 ′ of the reservoir 16 to ensure that the latter is properly maintained in the use position.
  • the housing 12 On the side the housing 12 is closed by a door, not visible in the drawing, which can advantageously be locked in order to prohibit access to the reservoir 16, for the purpose of removing the latter, to any person not authorized.
  • a flexible conduit 20 In the front wall of the housing 12 is housed a flexible conduit 20, one end 21 of which opens outwards exactly opposite the orifice 10 of the main conduit 9 of the cover 5, when this cover is in the folded position.
  • the other end of the cover 20 is disposed inside the chamber 13 and comprises a collar 22 intended to engage on the movable head 17 so that the end of the conduit 21 is held facing the outlet orifice (not shown) formed in the head 17.
  • a spring device (of known type and which has not been shown for clarity of the drawing) makes it possible, when the head 17 has been pushed in (as will be seen later) and then released , to recall it in the high position in a predetermined period of time.
  • the housing 12 comprises, in the axis of the cover 5, a central opening 23 which communicates with the chamber 13 and through which a rear extension 24 of the cover 5 can engage in the chamber 13, when pivoting of the cover from its folded position to its raised position, engaging the movable head 17 and forcing it to sink vertically.
  • the orifice 10 of the conduit 9 comes opposite the end 21 of the conduit 20 which allows, until the head 17 has returned to its high rest position, the diffusion through the conduits 7 and the heads 8 of jets of disinfectant which, due to the appropriate arrangement of the heads 8, reach the entire inner surface of the bowl 1, the surface of the seat 2 and the lower and upper faces of the bezel 3.
  • the latter is provided to present on its entire surface an inclined profile, directed inward, in thus facilitating the flow into the bowl 1 of any excess disinfectant sprayed on the upper face of this scope.
  • the head 17 is automatically returned to the rest position by cutting off the emission of product and, as the disinfectant used is advantageously based on volatile product such as alcohol, the sanitary appliances are immediately dry and can be used immediately.
  • the disinfecting product used could be of any suitable composition and include additives such as deodorant materials. It will also be understood that, without departing from the invention, provision could be made to inject, via the channels and the spray heads formed in the folding lid, air or water (with the possible addition of a product cleaning) by connecting the inlet opening of the main duct 9 of the cover 5 to the flushing system.
