Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary appliance such as a washbasin, a bidet, a bath or showertub, a kitchen or laundry sink, a urinal, which appliance comprises a main basin and an adjacent chamber separated from said basin by a wall, said main basin being provided with an outlet positioned mainly in its side and communicating with said chamber, said chamber being also provided with an outlet, the appliance further comprising an opening and closing device mounted in the chamber and operated from outside the chamber, said device comprising an upstanding pipe movable between a closing position wherein it prevents liquid to flow from the outlet of the main basin directly to the outlet of the chamber and an open position wherein it permits such liquid flow.
  • Sanitary appliances of this type can be more attractive and give the designer more freedom in his design as the discharge hole in the bottom and especially the tightening plug for closing said hole are absent.
  • a sanitary appliance of this kind is known from British patent No. 363.601.
  • a hollow rotatable sleeve valve is mounted in a chamber having the form of a waste duct provided in a thickening portion of the rear wall of the main basin.
  • said valve assures a direct communication between the outlet in the rear side of the main basin and the outlet in the bottom of the chamber.
  • German patent No. 140.899 also discloses a sanitary appliance of the above mentioned type.
  • the pipe of the opening and closing device is movable up and down.
  • Liquid can only be evacuated through openings in the upper end of the pipe, which openings act as overflow openings. In its upward position, liquid can be evacuated from the chamber through an opening in the lower end of the pipe. Because the chamber is hermetically closed to the exception of the outlets, the water evacuated through the last mentioned opening in the pipe sucks away the air in the chamber so that also a part of the water flows through the overflow openings at the upper end of the pipe.
  • the water seal has to be unmounted from the outside of the appliance, what is not always possible or easy.
  • the invention has for object to remediate this drawback and to provide a sanitary appliance of the above mentioned type which permits an easy cleaning of the chamber wherein is mounted the opening and closing device and eventually also of a water seal forming container mounted underneath said chamber.
  • At least a part of the wall separating the chamber and the main basin is removable.
  • Said part of the wall can be totally removable, for instance by sliding or can be swung away with respect to the remainder of the wall.
  • the appliance comprises a container underneath the chamber which communicates with the chamber through the outlet in the bottom of the chamber and the movable pipe of the opening and closing device extends through the outlet into said container and forms with said container a water-seal.
  • the water-seal can be situated very high and easily hidden by the appliance itself or by for example a foot piece.
  • the bath tub can be installed very low above the floor.
  • This form of embodiment is especially useful in combination with the above mentioned characteristic as the water-seal can easily be reached for cleaning after removing the removable part of the wall separating the chamber and the main basin.
  • said container is an integrated part of the appliance.
  • a sanitary appliance comprising a main basin, an adjacent chamber communicating with the main basin through an outlet and provided itself with an outlet which can be closed by means of an opening and closing device, and a container mounted underneath said chamber, forming an integrated part of the appliance and forming together with the lower part of the opening and closing device a water seal, is known as such from German patent application No. 1.609.108.
  • the opening and closing device does not comprise a movable pipe which can prevent or permit direct communication between the outlet of the basin and the outlet in the bottom of the chamber.
  • Said device comprises a tube which is fixedly mounted in the chamber and is provided with openings, which openings can be closed by means of a valve element movably mounted in the pipe.
  • This opening and closing device is therefore of a rather complicated structure.
  • the sanitary appliance comprises an air-admittance device mounted in the chamber and connected to the container and allowing entry of air above the liquid into the container or in the waste outlet of the container, under conditions of reduced pressure.
  • the drain system to which the appliance is connected can be smaller and has better hydraulic functions.
  • the movable pipe of the opening and closing device is provided at a position lying a distance above the bottom of the chamber when it is in closing position, with an overflow opening communicating through the chamber with the outlet of the basin.
  • the usual overflow opening in the side wall of the appliance can be omitted.
  • the liquid which has the same level in the chamber is evacuated through the overflow opening in the upper part of the movable pipe.
  • a pipe (7) operable from outside the appliance (8), open in its upper and lower end, the lower end fitting and tightening in the outlet hole (5), the upper open end (12) designed for the overflow i.e. when the water rises in the appliance and consequently also in the chamber (1) up to the level with the open end (12), the water will run over automatically into the pipe (7) and further into the discharge system without doing harm.
  • the pipe (7) is lifted (changed) from its tightening position by the operating part (8), the water streams directly out through the hole (5) or openings (15) and into the waterlock (6).
  • FIG. 5 and 6 show how the invention can be adapted to a sink, where the water can flow out even if the lower part of the basin would be clogged by foodrests.
  • the removable front has in this case the form of a scoop and covers part of the bottom. In this way peels, foodrests etc. can be easily disposed of.
  • an air admittance valve described e.g. in Pat. No. GB 2.014.697 (Fig. 7, No. 20) can be placed in chamber (1) above the flood level, connected by a separate channel (21) with the top of container (14) by-passing the opening/closing mechanism and the waterseal.
  • Said channel (21) can as well be independent as integrated part of the movable pipe (7). In this way air is admitted into the system when underpressure or pump effects occur and so equilibrate the pressure preventing the waterlock to be influenced.
  • the invention is not limited to the sanitary field but can also find other application areas for other types of tanks and containers within industrial kitches, industries etc.
  • the application of the invention on new constructions of sanitary appliances not only aims at rendering them more attractive by taking away the customary ugly outlet and overflow holes but also at improving their function, at simplifying the actual expensive and complicated opening/closing device and overflow and at reducing considerably the number of scres and fittings, simplifying thus the installation, which becomes more economic.
  • the invention contributes to the fact that cupboards, where e.g. washbasins and sinks are built in, can be fully used, since the customary voluminous watertraps become on the one hand smaller and on the other hand will be situated at the backside of the appliance.

Abstract

Appareil sanitaire comprenant une chambre facilement accessible, dans laquelle est situé un mécanisme combinant l'ouverture/la fermeture de l'orifice de sortie, le trop-plein, un système d'admission d'air et un joint étanche à l'eau dans un conteneur sous-jacent. Dans une chambre (1) créée par une paroi frontale (3) pourvue d'un ou plusieurs trous (2) vers l'appareil adjacent (11), une paroi de forme appropriée (4) et un fond pourvu d'un orifice (5), relié à un bouchon d'eau (6), est disposée une conduite (7) pouvant être actionnée de l'extérieur de l'appareil (8), ouverte à ses extrémités supérieure et inférieure, l'extrémité inférieure s'adaptant de manière étanche dans l'orifice de sortie (5), l'extrémité supérieure ouverte (12) étant conçue pour le trop-plein, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'eau monte dans l'appareil et par conséquent également dans la chambre (1) jusqu'au niveau de l'extrémité ouverte (12), l'eau se déverse automatiquement dans la conduite (7) et d'ici dans le système de décharge sans provoquer de dégâts. Lorsque la conduite (7) est retirée en la soulevant de sa position d'étanchéité à l'aide de la partie d'actionnement (8), l'eau s'écoule directement par l'orifice (5) ou par les ouvertures (15) dans le bouchon d'eau.
