Description
SYSTEME D'ACCOUDOIRS POUR W.C. ARMREST SYSTEM FOR W.C.
La présente invention a pour objet un nouveau système d'accoudoir destiné à équiper les cuvettes de W.C. Un tel système a essentiellement pour objet d'améliorer le confort des usagers des cuvettes ainsi équipées, en permettant notamment que des handicapés, en position assise, se trouvent comme dans un fauteuil, ou que des personnes souffrant par exemple du dos puissent s'asseoir ou se relever en s'appuyant sur des accoudoirs latéraux en toute sécurité.The present invention relates to a new armrest system intended to equip toilet bowls. Such a system essentially aims to improve the comfort of the users of the bowls thus equipped, by allowing in particular that the disabled, in a seated position, find it as in an armchair, or that people suffering for example from the back can sit or stand up by leaning on side armrests safely.
Des documents de l'art antérieur ont déjà décrit des systèmes adaptables sur des cuvettes de W.C. pour assurer cette fonction de fauteuil, mais d'une manière tellement imparfaite qu'il semble qu'aucune des solutions proposées n'a été suivie de réalisation industrielle, malgré leur ancienneté. Il y a déjà une vingtaine d'année, on avait proposé d'utiliser soit des accoudoirs montés basculants à l'arrière de la cuvette et mobiles avec un siège abattant, auquels ils étaient fixés à l'avant, soit des accoudoirs reposant individuellement sur la cuvette en position fixe.Documents of the prior art have already described systems that can be adapted to WC bowls to perform this function of an armchair, but in such an imperfect manner that it seems that none of the solutions proposed has been followed by industrial production. , despite their seniority. Twenty years ago, it was proposed to use either armrests mounted tilting at the rear of the bowl and movable with a folding seat, to which they were fixed at the front, or armrests resting individually on the bowl in a fixed position.
Une première amélioration a été apportée plus récemment par le brevet français n° 86 04397 (publication n° 2 596 265), qui prévoit de relier ensemble deux accou- doirs reposant latéralement sur la cuvette par une barre de fixation à l'arrière de celle-ci. Cependant, on n'a pas encore résolu par là convenablement un problème de stabilité que posaient déjà les solutions antérieures. En effet, on a pu constater que les fauteuils ainsi formés sur les cuvettes équipées de tels systèmes ont trop facilement tendance à se déformer quand un utilisateur s'appuie sur les accoudoirs : les montants verticaux qui supportent les accoudoirs sur .le pourtour de la cuvette s'inclinent vers l'extérieur et les accoudoirs s'écartent dans une positionA first improvement was made more recently by French patent n ° 86 04397 (publication n ° 2 596 265), which provides for connecting together two armrests resting laterally on the bowl by a fixing bar at the rear of that -this. However, this has not yet adequately resolved a stability problem already posed by previous solutions. Indeed, it has been observed that the chairs thus formed on the bowls equipped with such systems have too easily a tendency to deform when a user leans on the armrests: the vertical uprights which support the armrests on the periphery of the bowl tilt outward and the armrests move apart in one position

en porte-à-faux par rapport à la cuvette. Ce défaut de stabilité, qui représente une gêne non négligeable pour l'utilisateur, surtout dans le cas de personnes handica¬ pées, présente en outre l'inconvénient de rendre l'ensemble fragile, car en général, un appui en porte-à-faux sur les accoudoirs risque fort d'exercer sur le système d'accou¬ doirs lui-même dans son ensemble, et d'autre part sur le siège abattant, des efforts mécaniques auxquels ils ne résistent pas, leur construction n'étant pas conçue pour cela.REPLACEMENT SHEET cantilevered from the bowl. This lack of stability, which represents a significant inconvenience for the user, especially in the case of disabled people, also has the disadvantage of making the whole fragile, because in general, support in door-to-door false on the armrests is likely to exert on the armrest system itself as a whole, and on the other hand on the seat, mechanical forces which they do not resist, their construction is not designed for it.
La présente invention vise donc principalement à résoudre ces difficultés grâce à une conception appropriée du système d'accoudoirs, tout en permettant une construc¬ tion simple et peu coûteuse, ainsi qu'un montage facile en évitant d'avoir recours à une fixation sur la cuvette elle- même, autrement qu'à l'arrière de celle-ci.The present invention therefore aims mainly to solve these difficulties through an appropriate design of the armrest system, while allowing a simple and inexpensive construc¬ tion, as well as an easy assembly avoiding having to resort to a fixing on the bowl itself, other than at the back of it.
Elle propose à cet effet un système d'accoudoirs à monter sur une cuvette de W.C, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte deux accoudoirs reliés ensemble par un tube rigide formant d'une seule pièce des montants postérieurs pour lesdits accoudoirs, orientés perpendiculairement à une partie centrale rectiligne où ledit tube présente des pattes de fixation à l'arrière de ladite cuvette, et, pour chaque accoudoir, au moins un montant antérieur qui présente une extrémité supérieure solidaire dudit tube, opposée à une partie inférieure formant support d'appui sur ladite cuvette.To this end, it offers a system of armrests to be mounted on a toilet bowl, characterized in that it comprises two armrests connected together by a rigid tube forming in one piece rear uprights for said armrests, oriented perpendicularly to a rectilinear central part where said tube has fixing lugs at the rear of said bowl, and, for each armrest, at least one front upright which has an upper end secured to said tube, opposite a lower part forming a support said bowl.
En général les accoudoirs proprement dits sont réalisés en une matière souple, par exemple par une enveloppe renfermant un rembourrage, et ils sont fixés par un fond rigide sur deux parties latérales terminales du tube ci-dessus qui constituent des tronçons support d'accoudoirs.In general the armrests themselves are made of a flexible material, for example by an envelope containing a padding, and they are fixed by a rigid bottom on two end lateral parts of the above tube which constitute armrest support sections.
Si l'on considère la structure rigide ainsi constituée par le tube dans la position qu'elle prend après montage sur une cuvette de W.C, on y observeIf we consider the rigid structure thus constituted by the tube in the position it takes after mounting on a toilet bowl, we observe

- Les pattes de fixation sont soudées latéralement sur le tube, vers l'avant de la cuvette, sensiblement au ras de l'arête inférieure du tube.- The fixing lugs are welded laterally on the tube, towards the front of the bowl, substantially flush with the lower edge of the tube.
- A chaque patte de fixation est associé un joint qui se place sous la patte correspondante en se prolongeant sous le tube et qui présente en faces latérales des rebords de. maintien,encadrant la patte.- With each fixing lug is associated a seal which is placed under the corresponding lug, extending under the tube and which has on the side faces of the flanges . support, framing the paw.
- La structure formée par le tube rigide est complétée par deux montants tubulaires verticaux qui n'ont pas à être aussi résistants et qui sont soudés en bout latéralement sous les parties latérales formant supports d'accoudoirs au voisinage des extrémités du tube, en position appropriée pour former lesdits montants anté¬ rieurs.- The structure formed by the rigid tube is completed by two vertical tubular uprights which do not have to be as strong and which are butt welded laterally under the lateral parts forming armrest supports in the vicinity of the ends of the tube, in the appropriate position. to form said anterior uprights.

comprend essentiellement un tube métallique rigide 3 plié en forme de "U". La base du "U" est occupée par une partie centrale 4 du tube, rectiligne, qui se dispose en travers de la cuvette 2, en dépassant de part et d'autre de celle- ci. Chaque côté du "U" forme un montant 7 ou 8, orienté d'abord verticalement, puis incliné vers l'avant de la cuvette en son tronçon 31 ou 32, jusqu'à rejoindre la position appropriée pour un accoudoir. Le tube 3» reliant ainsi les deux accoudoirs, comporte en positions symétri- ques dans sa base 4, deux pattes 5 qui sont soudées latéralement sur lui, au niveau de son arête inférieure, et qui servent de pattes de fixation du système à l'arrière 6 de la cuvette comme il sera explicité plus loin.REPLACEMENT SHEET essentially comprises a rigid metal tube 3 bent in the shape of a "U". The base of the "U" is occupied by a central part 4 of the rectilinear tube, which is arranged across the bowl 2, protruding on either side of the latter. Each side of the "U" forms an upright 7 or 8, first oriented vertically, then inclined towards the front of the bowl in its section 31 or 32, until reaching the appropriate position for an armrest. The tube 3 " thus connecting the two armrests, comprises in symmetrical positions in its base 4, two lugs 5 which are welded laterally on it, at its lower edge, and which serve as lugs for fixing the system to the rear 6 of the bowl as will be explained later.
Les deux montants verticaux respectivement 7 et 8 du tube 3 sont à nouveau cintrés dans leur partie opposée à la base 4 en direction de l'extrémité de la cuvette 2 opposée à l'arrière 6 de cette dernière, de manière à former des tronçons d'appui horizontaux 9 destinés à deux accoudoirs 10 et 11. Les montants verticaux 7 et 8 constituent ainsi des montants postérieurs pour les accoudoirs 10 et 11.The two vertical uprights 7 and 8 respectively of the tube 3 are again bent in their part opposite the base 4 towards the end of the bowl 2 opposite the rear 6 of the latter, so as to form sections d 'horizontal supports 9 intended for two armrests 10 and 11. The vertical uprights 7 and 8 thus constitute rear uprights for the armrests 10 and 11.
Deux tubes rigides en forme de "L" 12 et 13 constituent des montants antérieurs pour les accoudoirs 10 et 11. A cet effet le montant de chaque tube en forme de "L" 12 ou 13 est fixé à un tronçon support horizontal 9 par soudage de son extrémité latéralement dans celui-ci et la base de chacun de ces montants 12 ou 13 prend appui par l'intermédiaire d'un manchon en matière plastique 15 qui enveloppe son extrémité sur le pourtour 14 de la cuvette 2 de part et d'autre de celle-ci.Two rigid "L" shaped tubes 12 and 13 constitute anterior uprights for the armrests 10 and 11. For this purpose the upright of each "L" shaped tube 12 or 13 is fixed to a horizontal support section 9 by welding from its end laterally in the latter and the base of each of these uprights 12 or 13 is supported by means of a plastic sleeve 15 which envelops its end around the periphery 14 of the bowl 2 on either side other of it.
A la figure 2 sont représentés les moyens d'assem¬ blage et de fixation du système d'accoudoirs et d'un siège abattant sur l'arrière 6 de la cuvette de W.C La partie à droite de la ligne oblique A-A' représente une vue en coupe et la partie à gauche de cette ligne représente une vue en élévation.In FIG. 2 are shown the means for assembling and fixing the system of armrests and of a flip-down seat on the rear 6 of the toilet bowl. The part to the right of the oblique line AA ′ represents a view in section and the part to the left of this line represents an elevation view.

Du système d'accoudoirs on ne peut voir sur cette figure que la base 4 du tube en forme de "U" 3 ainsi qu'une patte de fixation 5 assemblée par soudure 16 à celui-ci. La patte de fixation 5 présente deux orifices 17 destinés au passage de vis de fixation 18 à l'arrière 6 de la cuvette. Ces deux orifices ont une forme allongée parallèlement à la base du tube en "U" de manière à pouvoir obtenir un jeu de réglage lors du positionnement du système d'accoudoirs.REPLACEMENT SHEET From the armrest system, one can see in this figure only the base 4 of the tube in the shape of a "U" 3 as well as a fixing lug 5 assembled by welding 16 to it. The fixing lug 5 has two holes 17 intended for the passage of fixing screws 18 at the rear 6 of the bowl. These two holes have an elongated shape parallel to the base of the U-shaped tube so that an adjustment clearance can be obtained when positioning the armrest system.
Une cornière en matière plastique 19 ayant en coupe la forme d'un "U", et fermée à une extrémité opposée à la base 4, est insérée entre chaque patte de fixation 5 et l'arrière de la cuvette 6 de manière à réaliser un joint plastique entre les pattes 5, la base 4 et la cuvette, évitant ainsi des zones où s'accumulent les saletés.A plastic angle iron 19 having in cross-section the shape of a "U", and closed at an end opposite the base 4, is inserted between each fixing lug 5 and the rear of the bowl 6 so as to produce a plastic seal between the legs 5, the base 4 and the bowl, thus avoiding areas where dirt accumulates.
La cornière 19 présente dans son extrémité proche de la base 4, une découpe en forme de quart de cercle de chacune de ses faces latérales, de manière à permettre le passage de la base qui leur est perpendiculaire.The angle iron 19 has in its end close to the base 4, a cut in the form of a quarter of a circle of each of its lateral faces, so as to allow the passage of the base which is perpendicular to them.
Les faces latérales 26 et 27 de la cornière 19 en forme de "U" qui entourent la patte 5, ont été représentées débordantes de la patte 5 pour des raisons de clarté, mais elles viennent de préférence au ras du bord de la patte 5.The lateral faces 26 and 27 of the angle 19 in the shape of a "U" which surround the tab 5, have been shown projecting from the tab 5 for reasons of clarity, but they preferably come close to the edge of the tab 5.
La coupe partielle représentée à la figure 3 montre le positionnement d'un montant antérieur 12 du système d'accoudoirs en forme de "L" par rapport au pourtour 14 de la cuvette et à la lunette 20 de l'abattant.The partial section shown in Figure 3 shows the positioning of an anterior upright 12 of the "L" shaped armrest system relative to the periphery 14 of the bowl and to the seat 20 of the flap.
La base 28 du "L" 12 présente à proximité du pourtour 14 une ondulation de manière à former un creux 29, évitant le bord extérieur de la lunette 20, afin que cette dernière soit libre par rapport à la base 28. De plus, le manchon en matière plastique 15 qui enveloppe l'extrémité de la base 28 présentant dans cette zone un méplat 30, est dimensionné de sorte que la lunette 20 ne repose pas sur le manchon, ceci afin de ne pas créer de porte-à-faux entre les charnières de lrabattant et deux patins tampons (nonThe base 28 of the "L" 12 has near the periphery 14 an undulation so as to form a hollow 29, avoiding the outer edge of the bezel 20, so that the latter is free relative to the base 28.
