Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cabinet seats constituted by a bowl providing a seat window and it aims, more specifically, such seats comprising means for ensuring the automatic cleaning of the window.
  • toilet seats with seat offer, undoubtedly, a real comfort for the user, they are, on the other hand, the object of certain reservations because of the risks of pollution or contamination which they present, in particular when these are public or collective sanitary facilities.
  • German patent 252,298 has, in particular, proposed adding to a bowl seat a device in the form of a vertical casing comprising, internally, means for driving in endless scrolling of two glasses which can be successively adapted on the bowl and placed in relation to a cleaning station located inside the housing.
  • the casing and the technical means for driving in endless scrolling represent a bulky and more or less complex assembly which is difficult to adapt or installed in the premises reserved for the installation of toilets.
  • European patent application 0 092 481 which relates to a toilet installation proposing a set for cleaning the telescope, also inspired by the initial teaching according to German patent 252 298.
  • the prior art conceals other proposals based on a different technique consisting, in its general principle, of making the bezel rotating, in order to make it pass through a cleaning unit carried by the rear shelf of the bowl.
  • the proposal to set up a cleaning unit without specifying the means leaves those skilled in the art puzzled.
  • the unit can be formed of spongy cleaning and drying masses, which, undoubtedly, cannot be an effective, practical and durable solution.
  • the unit may otherwise include a dispenser for disinfectant liquids and, in this case, nothing is indicated to ensure effective drying. It should also be noted that, in such a case, no information is offered to avoid splashes, drops and runoff of the liquid product.
  • this patent only provides instruction on the motorization of the telescope and does not answer the real problem posed, which is that of ensuring, effectively and without environmental pollution, the cleaning-disinfection of a telescope following each use, automatically and safely.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of currently known solutions, in. offering a new cabinet seat with an automatic lens cleaning device.
  • the new seat according to the invention is designed so as to offer a certainty of cleaning and sanitation of the telescope over the entire peripheral surface of the latter, so as to exactly satisfy the need for hygiene felt by users, that they are sanitary facilities of a private, collective or public nature.
  • the cabinet seat according to the invention is, moreover, designed so as to constitute a set of overall dimensions of the same order as the bowl seats with supported cistern, in order to thus allow an easy and rapid installation, whatever reception rooms.
  • the cabinet seat according to the invention is also designed so as to be able to assume the function of cleaning and sanitation of the telescope, whatever the type of energy or means of evacuation used, that is to say say that it is a toilet flushing effect, crushing effect, chemical decomposition, etc ...
  • the cabinet seat is also designed so that the cleaning-sanitation function automatically represents the final phase of use, so as to offer a subsequent user a certainty of decontamination and cleanliness of the telescope.
  • the cabinet seat according to the invention is, moreover, also designed so as to assume the function of sanitation cleaning, even in the case where the installation of the bowl seat is carried out with dissociation and local implantation distant from one or more tanks responsible for delivering a drainage and / or sanitation liquid, whether it is water intended to achieve a flushing effect or an antiseptic cleaning mixture responsible for washing the bowl and controlling the opening an evacuation flap, etc ...
  • the cabinet seat is also designed to make a cleaning-disinfection function possible without surrounding liquid projection and with certain elimination, by the material evacuation circuit, of cleaning products.
  • the seat according to the invention of ordinary size, can thus be mounted without requiring the installation of clean external conduits or pipes, nor surfaces, tanks or capacities for receiving and retaining flows of the cleaning product or products used.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective of the object of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view, partly in section, corresponding to fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view, similar to FIG. 2, but illustrating various construction details.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross section taken, on a larger scale, along the line IV-IV of FIG. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross section taken, on a different scale, along the line V-V of FIG. 3.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are partial sections taken, on a larger scale, along lines VI-VI and VII-VII of FIG. 2.

  • Fig. 9 is a partial cross section taken, on a larger scale, along the line IX-IX of FIG. 2.
  • Fig. 10 is a schematic view illustrating one of the constituent elements of the subject of the invention.
  • Figs. 11 to 14 are partial cross-sections showing, on a larger scale, four different embodiments of some of the constituent elements of the object of the invention.
  • Fig. 15 is a partial section illustrating an embodiment specific to the embodiments according to FIGS. 13 and 14.
  • Fig. 16 is a view similar to FIGS. 11 to 14 and representing a preferred embodiment of some of the constituent elements of the object of the invention.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 show that the object of the invention is a cabinet seat 1, of the bowl type, which can be likened to a bowl of traditional shape and of conventional embodiment.
  • the upper edge of this bowl is made so as to comprise means 2, integral with the bowl, to provide support and guidance for a complementary bezel 3, formed by a closed ring mounted with the possibility of sliding, for example in the direction of the arrow f i .
  • the bowl 1 has, in its upper plane, an oval geometric conformation. It should be considered that a circular conformation can also be retained within the meaning of the invention.
  • the closed ring constituting the bezel 3 is made of an elastically deformable material, so as to adapt to the variations in curvature imposed by the means 2 with which they cooperate during its displacement in its plane, in the direction of the arrow f i .
  • the means 2 are constituted, in an exemplary embodiment illustrated by FIG. 4, by a bead 4 projecting from the upper edge of the bowl and interrupted locally in the part corresponding substantially to the rear of the bowl.
  • the local interruption can, for example, cover an angular range substantially equal to 90 ° centered on the corresponding focal point, in the case of an oval embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, or about 60 ° centered on the center of the telescope in the case of circular realization of the latter.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the bead 4 can be formed so as to. also be integral with a peripheral veil 5 representing a gutter 6.
  • the veil 5 and the gutter 6 make it possible to avoid projections of the cleaning, disinfection and / or flush and direct such a fluid over the entire inner periphery of the bowl to ensure cleaning of the entire surface of the latter.
  • the constituent closed ring. of the bezel 3 is, for example, produced in the form of a profile of the "C •" type.
  • the ring can thus be fitted onto the bead 4, so that its longitudinal edges 3a engage under shoulders 4a formed by the bead 4.
  • the edges 3a and the shoulders 4a represent means of transverse relative immobilization conferring a held at the ring 3 on the bead 4, while reserving a possibility of sliding, as well as a possibility of release or extraction to facilitate the possible change of the ring.
  • La- fig. 4 shows that the internal peripheral face of the ring 3 has projecting ribs 7, possibly reinforced, intended to bear on the surface of the bead, so as to represent sliding members reducing friction.
  • the telescope 3 can thus be brought to cross, by its entire perimeter length, the zone of local interruption of the means 2 by extending, in this interrupted part, parallel to the upper surface of a plane rear shelf 8 formed by the above the bowl 1.
  • provision may be made to have punctual supports in the interruption zone of the means 2.
  • the rear shelf 8 provides the support for a cleaning unit 9 and a motor member 10 responsible for causing the sliding of the telescope 3 relative to the means 2, for example in the direction of the arrow f 1 .
  • the cleaning unit 9 and the drive member 10 are arranged substantially vertically in line with two depressions 11 and 12 which are formed (FIG. 5) in the area 8, in the zone of interruption of the means 2. These depressions constitute, in a way, widely open funnels or basins communicating, respectively through a hole 13 or 14, with the flow channel 1a formed in the bowl 1 for the passage of a liquid for cleaning the bowl.
  • a liquid may be a mixture of disinfectant products or, again, water distributed, as is known, so as to assume a flushing effect.
  • the unit 9 and the drive member 10 are carried by the bowl, so as to be placed in the zone local interruption of the means 2.
  • they can be fixed directly on the track 8 or be carried by a plate 15 adaptable on this range by conventional removable fixing means.
  • the cleaning unit 9 comprises means 16 for delivering a disinfectant product and means 17 for ensuring the elimination of such a product taken from a tank.
  • the means 16 for delivering the disinfectant product are of the spray type.
  • These means 16 include two tubular ramps 18 and 19 shaped to surround the transverse profile of the ring constituting the telescope 3.
  • the ramps 18 and 19 are preferably fixed on the plate 15 and are connected by fittings 20 and 21 with supply lines for a liquid disinfectant product under pressure.
  • Different means of supplying such a product can be envisaged from a reserve not illustrated in FIG. 6, but forming part of the unit 9 and being able to be placed at a distance from this unit or to be incorporated into the latter.
  • the supply of the ramps 18 and 19 is provided intermittently according to a cycle of use as shown in the following. ''
  • the ramp 18 is mounted on a hinge pin 22, for example horizontal, to be movable in the direction of the arrow f 2 against the action of an elastic return member 23 responsible for always maintaining the ramp 18 in a stable position against a support stop 24.
  • the above assembly allows, when necessary, to raise the ramp 18 to allow the release and extraction of the closed ring when it is desired to carry out a dislocation of the latter relative to the means 2, in view, for example, of its change for deterioration or wear.
  • the means 17 for eliminating the disinfectant product comprise two scraper supports 25 and 26 shaped in a manner substantially analogous to the ramps 18 and 19, to surround the transverse profile of the closed ring 3.
  • the scraper supports 25 and 26 are mounted in the same manner as described above for the ramps 18 and 19 and are also, for example, carried by the plate 15.
  • the scraper support 25 is mounted articulated on an axis 27 while being always biased by an elastic member 28 to occupy a stable position against a support stop 29.
  • the scraper supports 25 and 26 carry linings 30 and 31 responsible for wiping the entire transverse periphery of the constitutive profile of the ring 3.
  • These linings 30 and 31 may be formed by bristles, fibers or scrapers, preferably in elastomer. In such a case, it is advantageous to impart to the scrapers, as illustrated in FIG. 8, an inclination in the direction of movement according to the arrow f 1 of the ring 3, so as to ensure good fitting of the linings over the entire transverse periphery of the ring.
  • the means 16 and 17 described above are preferably arranged in a substantially radial direction relative to the part of the ring 3 passing through the interruption zone of the support and guide means 2.
  • the motor member 10 responsible for causing the ring 3 to run on the means 2, comprises a motor 32 which may be of the water or electric type.
  • the motor 32 is adapted to track 8 or, preferably, is removably fixed to the plate 15.
  • the output shaft 33 of the motor 32 is provided with a driving roller 34 placed in permanent surface cooperation with the ring 3 being, for example, engaged inside the profile that determines it.
  • the drive roller 34 may include grooves 35 matching the ribs 7 presented by the ring 3.
  • the drive member 10 further comprises a pressure roller 36 mounted free to rotate on a shaft 37 secured by an axis of horizontal articulation 38 on the plate 15.
  • the shaft 37 is biased by a spring 39 responsible for permanently pressing the counter-roller 36 on the top of the ring 3 which is thus itself pressed on the periphery of the driving roller 34
  • Fig. 2 shows that the drive member is arranged like the means 16 and 17, so that the output shaft 33 preferably extends in a substantially radial direction relative to the part of the ring 3 crossing the interruption zone of the means 2.
  • Means are provided to trigger the operation of the unit 9 and that of the motor member 10 when, after use, a user controls the rinsing or cleaning of the bowl. These means are activated automatically when the user acts on the control made available to him to clean or rinse the bowl.
  • the means controlling the operation of the unit 9 and the combined supply of the motor 10 are adjusted so that the roller 34 causes the closed ring 3 to run in front of the unit 9 over a length at least equal to its perimeter measurement , that is to say in general at least equal to one revolution.
  • the entire upper and lower surface of the ring 3 undergoes a spray-cleaning and wiping phase ensuring perfect sanitation of the entire visible part when the ring is brought back to a stable position during stopping the engine 32.
  • the user is thus assured of being able to have, in complete safety, a telescope offering maximum guarantees of aseptic behavior while being free from any pollution or contamination.
  • the drive member 10 is arranged, in consideration. of the direction of movement along the arrow f i , so as to be placed downstream relative to the cleaning unit 9.
  • the driving roller 34 and the pressure counter roller 36 are preserved against any risk of contamination or pollution.
  • the means for controlling the operation of the unit 9 and the supply of the drive member 10 can be of various kinds. These may be electric pumps responsible for drawing, respectively, the disinfectant product from a reserve to send it under pressure in the ramps 18 and 19 and a liquid fluid under pressure, for example water, to from a buffer tank driving a turbine constituting the rotor of the motor 32.
  • the motor 32 can be of the electric type, the supply of which, timed for a period necessary for the movement of at least one revolution of the ring 3, is ensured by a contactor itself actuated when the user acts on the cleaning-draining control of the bowl.
  • the means causing the operation of the unit 9 and the combined supply of the motor 10 can be triggered by the control action exerted by the user on the flush tank.
  • Figs. 1 and 10 show, by way of example, such means used in the case of a flush tank 40 designed to be mounted, in a conventional manner, bearing on the rear part 8a of the rear shelf 8 of the bowl.
  • the bottom 41 of the reservoir 40 defines a plug 42 placed in sealed relation with the flow channel 1a.

  • the branch 50a is controlled by a valve 51 actuated by a level float 52 placed inside the flush tank 40 to determine the maximum filling level of the latter.
  • the second branch 50b is constituted by a bypass pipe leading, for example, in the illustrated case, to the inlet orifice of a turbine constituting the water motor 32. In such a case, the outlet orifice of the water motor 32 is connected by a pipe 53 to the ramps 18 and 19 forming the means 16 delivering the disinfectant product (fig. 6).
  • the valve 49 is controlled by a pivoting lever 54 associated with a pull tab 55 passing through the cover 46.

  • a non-return valve 68 is provided to prevent the diffusion of the disinfectant product upstream, either in the tank 40 or in the pipe 48.
  • the pressurized water, brought by the pipe 48, is diverted towards the branch 50a, since the valve 49 is controlled by the lever 54 urged by the return spring 63 in its position of support on the stop 56 of the rod of closure system 44 of the drain 42.
  • the pressurized water is thus directed towards the flush tank 40 which it fills up to the level N determined by the adjustment of the float 52.
