Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floating bell flushing device, for a toilet flush tank and, more specifically, a device of the type described in document FR-A-1 517 475 and comprising a valve intended for apply to the edge of the drain orifice formed in the bottom of the tank and secured, in axial translation, with a floating bell disposed above said valve and making it possible to keep it away from its seat formed by said edge, during the emptying process.
  • This floating bell is arranged around the lower part of a tubular rod, the end of which is equipped with the valve, this rod being open at its opposite ends, so as to constitute a overflow tube allowing the evacuation of a possible overflow which could, for example, result from the faulty closing of the valve controlling the admission of water into the tank.
  • this floating bell or inner bell is housed, concentrically and with a capacity for axial movement, in an outer bell of larger diameter constituted by the lower part of an outer casing intended to be fixedly installed in the tank, the upper inlet of this outer bell being closed by the top of said movable inner bell, when the latter is raised in the high position.
  • Hunting devices of this kind also include a base provided with a central orifice, the upper edge of which constitutes the seat of the valve; this base being intended, on the one hand, to be installed fixedly on an opening which has the bottom of the tank and, on the other hand, to allow the removable fixing of the lower part of the flushing mechanism proper provided with means of complementary assembly.
  • An object pursued by the present invention is therefore to eliminate the above-mentioned operational imperfection of flushing devices of the aforementioned type.
  • this objective is achieved by means of a flushing device of this kind, characterized in that the floating bell of its mobile assembly is provided, in its lower part, with a shutter collar whose diameter is barely less than the internal diameter of the cylindrical member of the fixed part of said device in which it is called upon to move; only a very small clearance, necessary for the axial movement of said floating bell, being formed between the periphery of said obturating collar and the internal wall of said cylindrical member.
  • the shutter collar constitutes an obstacle limiting the flow of air entering between said floating bell and the fixed external bell, which has the effect of delaying the flow of water present between the two bells and the fallout of the moving element for a sufficient time to allow the total or almost total emptying of the tank or tank and, consequently, optimum rinsing of the bowl, whatever its flow rate.
  • this device comprises, in known manner, an outer tubular casing 1 comprising a cylindrical upper portion 1a and a bulged lower portion or outer bell 1b.
  • the upper end of the upper portion 1a of this outer casing is provided with a cap 1c provided with a tapped axial orifice 1d.
  • a "overflow" tube or overflow discharge tube 2 at the lower end of which the shutter valve 3 is fixed. from the tank drain hole.
  • This valve is, for example, constituted by a seal in the form of a circular crown installed in a peripheral groove that has a mount 2a constituting the lower end of the overflow tube 2.
  • the lower portion of said overflow tube is arranged so as to constitute a float.
  • This float is formed by a bell 4 disposed around the lower portion of the overflow tube 2 and the lower edge of which is placed above and at a reduced distance from the plane in which the upper face of the valve 3 is located, said bell being closed. at its top and open at its base.
  • the inner floating bell 4 is housed, concentrically, in the outer bell 1b and an annular space a is reserved between the cylindrical side walls of these two bells.
  • annular space a is reserved between the cylindrical side walls of these two bells.
  • the flushing device also comprises a control system comprising, for example, a push button 5, which can move axially and vertically.
  • This push button is guided in the upper part of an axial recess 6a which is provided with a fixed setting button 6 comprising a tubular rod 6b provided with an external thread on at least its lower portion.
  • the tubular rod 6b is screwed into the nut constituted by the cap 1c forming the top of the outer envelope 1.
  • such a device also comprises a base 7 comprising a central orifice 0 whose upper circular edge 7a forms the seat of the valve 3.
  • the base 7 and the base of the outer bell 1b are provided with complementary joining means allowing them to be assembled in a removable manner, while allowing the passage of water between said base and said base.
  • the flushing device When the flushing device is installed in a tank itself fixed on a toilet cabinet bowl 19 partially shown in FIG. 1, it is immobilized inside said tank: on the one hand, by means of the fixed timing button 6 bearing on the upper face of the cover 8a (partially shown in FIGS. 1, 6 and 7) of the tank and the rod 6b of which passes through an orifice 9 formed in said cover, and, - on the other hand, by means of the base 7 fixedly installed, using a nut 10 screwed onto its threaded lower cylindrical portion 7b, in the orifice 11 presented by the bottom 8 of the tank (partially illustrated in the figures 1, 2, 6 and 7), so that the central orifice 0 of said base constitutes the emptying orifice of the tank.
  • the seal between the bottom of the tank and the base is made by means of a rubber seal 12.
  • the base 7 carries a cross-member 13 fixedly disposed through its central orifice 0, below the seat 7a of the valve 3.
  • the lifting member of said valve is supported, constituted by a cam 14 arranged at- below it and mounted with a pivoting ability at the lower end of a transmission rod 15 capable of being pushed back by the push button 5.
  • valve lifting mechanism in its application to the flushing device according to the invention, is that there is no mechanical connection between the moving assembly 2-3-4 and the lifting member 14 of it. In this way, when the floating bell 4 moves upwards under the effect of its buoyancy, after lifting the valve, it self-positions against the bottom of the fixed outer bell 1b, thereby perfectly closing the upper inlet b of the latter.
  • the flushing device according to the invention is mainly remarkable in that the internal floating bell 4 is provided, in its lower part, preferably at its base, with a shutter collar 4b whose diameter D is barely less than the diameter d of the cylindrical member of the fixed part of the flushing device in which said collar is called upon to move, during the axial movements of said inner bell.
  • a very small clearance, necessary for the axial movement of the inner bell, is thus provided, in this position, between the periphery of the shutter collar 4b and the internal wall of said cylindrical member.
  • this cylindrical member is constituted by a sealing sheath 16 formed in one piece with the base 7 and rigidly attached to the latter by means of the locking forks 17 spaced apart and equidistant from which is provided with said base, in a manner known per se, to allow its attachment to the base of the outer bell 1b.
  • the shutter collar 4b has a width substantially equal to the width of the annular space between the outer surface of the side wall 4d of the inner bell 4 and the inner surface of the sealing sleeve.
  • This cylindrical sheath 16 is disposed above and at a distance from the seat 7a of the valve and its external diameter is substantially equal to the internal diameter of the cylindrical lower part 1b "of the external bell 1b in which said sheath is engaged without significant play, when base 7 is assembled at the base of said outer bell.
  • the assembly constituted by the locking forks 17 and by the sheath 16 integral with these, and the internal bell 4 are arranged in a complementary manner , so as to allow the axial movements of the latter while preventing its rotation about its axis.
  • This complementary arrangement comprises, for example, on the one hand, longitudinal ribs 18 which have the internal face of the assembly constituted by the locking forks 17 and the sheath 16 and, on the other hand, notches 4c formed at the periphery of the shutter collar 4b and in which said ribs are engaged.
  • the ribs 18 extend from the base of the locking forks 17 to the end or upper edge of the sleeve 16.
  • the base 7 has three vertical locking forks 17 whose centers are spaced 120 degrees.
  • the assembly 16-17 comprises three longitudinal ribs 18 spaced 120 degrees apart, while the shutter collar 4a is provided with three notches 4b also spaced 120 degrees apart and in which said ribs are engaged.
  • the mobile equipment 2-3-4 of the device is in the low position and the valve 3 rests on its seat 7a and closes the drain orifice 0.
  • the obturator collar 4b of the internal bell 4 is arranged below and at a distance from the lower edge of the cylindrical sheath 16 and, taking into account the fact that the water contained in the reservoir 8-8a can enter the annular space a passing between the lower portions of the locking forks 17 and circulate freely in this space, it also fills the entire space ac existing between said inner bell and the outer bell 1b, and also l annular space d formed between the overflow tube 2 and the cylindrical portion 1a of the outer fixed envelope 1.
  • the level of the water contained in the reservoir is generally a little below the location where the he upper end of the vertical overflow tube and it can fulfill its function in the event of a faulty closing of the supply valve.
  • the water which evacuates from the tank through the drain port 0, according to arrows F, has the effect of creating an air suction according to arrow F1 at the lower part of the overflow tube 2.
  • the amount of air which is evacuated from the outer casing 1 by this suction effect being greater than the quantity of air which penetrates at the upper part of said envelope, a partial vacuum is created inside it which, combined with the ascending forces F2 to which the inner bell 4 is subjected due to its buoyancy, contributes to maintaining the moving equipment 2 in the high position -3-4 of the hunting device.
