Le but de l'invention est de proposer un système de water-closet à chasse d'eau de conception nouvelle, pratique, plus économe en eau de rinçage et offrant de meilleures garanties d'hygiène et de confort que les traditionnels water-closets à cuvette fixe.The object of the invention is to propose a water-closet system with a new design, practical, more economical in rinsing water and offering better guarantees of hygiene and comfort than the traditional water-closets with fixed bowl.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un water-closet à couvercle basculant faisant office de cuvette caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une partie mobile formant cuvette de réception des matières solides et liquides, articulée autour d'un axe horizontal et susceptible d'occuper par rotation d'environ 180° deux positions, l'une, pour laquelle ladite cuvette est en position de réception desdites matières et, l'autre, pour laquelle la cuvette est renversée et forme couvercle et d'une partie fixe disposée sous la cuvette et dans laquelle est vidé le contenu de la cuvette lors de son passage de ladite première position à ladite seconde position.To this end, the subject of the invention is a water closet with tilting cover acting as a bowl, characterized in that it consists of a movable part forming a bowl for receiving solid and liquid materials, articulated around an axis. horizontal and capable of occupying by rotation of approximately 180 ° two positions, one for which said bowl is in the position for receiving said materials and the other for which the bowl is inverted and forms a cover and a fixed part disposed under the bowl and in which the contents of the bowl are emptied during its passage from said first position to said second position.

Suivant un mode de réalisation, ladite partie fixe forme banquette ou siège définissant un orifice horizontal, la partie mobile étant articulée sur ledit siège autour d'un axe disposé sensiblement dans le plan dudit orifice, dans la zone centrale de ce dernier et perpendiculairement au plan sagittal de la personne en position d'utilisation du water-closet.According to one embodiment, said fixed part forms a bench or seat defining a horizontal orifice, the movable part being articulated on said seat around an axis disposed substantially in the plane of said orifice, in the central zone of the latter and perpendicular to the plane. sagittal of the person in position to use the water closet.

La partie fixe est de préférence munie de moyens d'évacuation des matières et d'éventuel broyage ou autre traitement de ces dernières avant évacuation.The fixed part is preferably provided with means for evacuating the materials and possible grinding or other treatment of the latter before evacuation.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le water-closet est avantageusement muni d'un magasin de papier ou analogue en feuilles ou bande et de moyens propres à déployer au-dessus de la cuvette, lorsque cette dernière est dans ladite première position, une feuille ou portion de bande dudit papier ou analogue, cette dernière étant destinée à s'interposer entre le fond de la cuvette et les matières et à être évacuée par gravité en même temps que celles-ci.According to another characteristic of the invention, the water closet is advantageously provided with a paper or similar store in sheets or strip and with means suitable for deploying above the bowl, when the latter is in said first position, a sheet or portion of strip of said paper or the like, the latter being intended to be interposed between the bottom of the bowl and the materials and to be removed by gravity at the same time as the latter.

De préférence, le water-closet est muni d'un système de rinçage à l'eau de la cuvette constitué d'une rampe de lavage disposée soit sur la cuvette soit sur la partie fixe du water-closet, cette rampe étant mise en service lors du déplacement de la cuvette pour atteindre ladite seconde position ou position de renversement.Preferably, the water closet is provided with a system for rinsing with water of the bowl consisting of a washing ramp arranged either on the bowl or on the fixed part of the water closet, this ramp being put into service. when moving the bowl to reach said second position or inversion position.

Le déplacement de la cuvette est soit manuel, soit commandé par tous moyens mécaniques appropriés.The movement of the bowl is either manual or controlled by any appropriate mechanical means.

La figure 1 illustre schématiquement le principe du water-closet selon l'invention. On a représenté symboliquement en 1 la partie mobile du dispositif et en 2 la partie fixe sur laquelle est articulée la partie mobile 1 autour d'un axe horizontal 3.Figure 1 schematically illustrates the principle of the water closet according to the invention. The mobile part of the device is symbolically represented at 1 and at 2 the fixed part on which is articulated the mobile part 1 around a horizontal axis 3.

La partie fixe 2 a une forme de plaque rectangulaire, plane, percée d'un orifice 4 en forme par exemple d'ellipse, l'axe 3 d'articulation de la partie mobile 1 étant disposé sensiblement suivant le petit axe de l'ellipse 4, perpendiculairement au plan sagittal de la personne en position d'utilisation du water-closet, c'est-à-dire assise sur la demi-partie antérieure 2a de la partie 2 qui forme banquette ou siège.The fixed part 2 has the shape of a rectangular, flat plate, pierced with an orifice 4 in the form, for example, of an ellipse, the axis 3 of articulation of the mobile part 1 being disposed substantially along the minor axis of the ellipse. 4, perpendicular to the sagittal plane of the person in the position of using the water-closet, that is to say seated on the front half-part 2a of part 2 which forms a bench or seat.

La partie mobile 1 comprend une cuvette ou bol 5 à fond fermé en forme générale de demi-ellipsoïde et un rebord plan entourant la cuvette 5 et définissant, d'un côté de l'axe 3, une partie la dont la forme correspond à ladite partie 2a et, de l'autre côté de l'axe 3, une collerette elliptique 1b.The movable part 1 comprises a bowl or bowl 5 with a closed bottom in the general shape of a semi-ellipsoid and a flat rim surrounding the bowl 5 and defining, on one side of the axis 3, a part 1a whose shape corresponds to said part 2a and, on the other side of the axis 3, an elliptical collar 1b.

Le rebord 6 de la cuvette correspond au bord de l'orifice 4.The rim 6 of the bowl corresponds to the edge of the orifice 4.

La partie 1 est articulée sur la partie 2 à hauteur de l'axe 3, par tous moyens appropriés.Part 1 is articulated on part 2 at the height of axis 3, by all appropriate means.

La cuvette 5 est avantageusement munie d'un système de rinçage à l'eau sous pression constitué par exemple par un conduit incurvé d'aspersion 7 courant le long du rebord postérieur 6 (en position d'utilisation de la cuvette) et pourvu de trous dirigés vers la paroi de la cuvette.The bowl 5 is advantageously provided with a rinsing system with pressurized water constituted for example by a curved spray pipe 7 running along the rear rim 6 (in the position of use of the bowl) and provided with holes directed towards the wall of the bowl.

L'une des extrémités du conduit 7 est reliée par un joint tournant symbolisé en 8 à une canalisation 9 d'amenée d'eau sous pression, coaxiale à l'axe 3.One end of the duct 7 is connected by a rotary joint symbolized at 8 to a pipe 9 for supplying pressurized water, coaxial with the axis 3.

La partie mobile 1 peut occuper deux positions, l'une, dite d'utilisation de la cuvette 5, pour laquelle la partie la est amenée contre la partie 2b et la partie 1b contre la partie 2a et, l'autre, dite de renversement de la cuvette (périodes de non-utilisation du water-closet), pour laquelle la partie la est amenée contre la partie 2a et la partie 1b contre la partie 2b. On passe d'une position à l'autre par une rotation d'environ 180°.The movable part 1 can occupy two positions, one, called the use of the bowl 5, for which the part la is brought against the part 2b and the part 1b against the part 2a and, the other, said to overturn of the bowl (periods of non-use of the water closet), for which part la is brought against part 2a and part 1b against part 2b. We go from one position to another by a rotation of about 180 °.

Avantageusement, des joints d'étanchéité de forme et dimensions appropriées sont prévus entre les parties en contact dans les deux positions ci-dessus, c'est-à-dire autour des ellipses 4 et 6 sur l'une et/ou l'autre face des parties concernées (1a,1b;2a,2b).Advantageously, seals of appropriate shape and dimensions are provided between the parts in contact in the two positions above, that is to say around the ellipses 4 and 6 on one and / or the other. facing the parties concerned (1a, 1b; 2a, 2b).

Les figures 2 à 4 représentent schématiquement un water-closet utilisant le principe illustré par la figure 1. Les éléments de ce water-closet homologues des parties correspondantes de la figure 1 portent les mêmes références numériques.Figures 2 to 4 schematically represent a water closet using the principle illustrated in Figure 1. The elements of this water closet homologous to the corresponding parts of Figure 1 have the same reference numerals.

La cuvette 5 est disposée au-dessus d'un corps de water-closet 10 dont la partie supérieure définie les parties fixes 2a,2b supportant la cuvette.The bowl 5 is arranged above a body of water closet 10, the upper part of which defines the fixed parts 2a, 2b supporting the bowl.

Le corps 10 est muni à l'arrière d'une trappe de visite 11 et en partie inférieure d'une vis de broyage-extraction 12 entraînée par un moto-réducteur 13.The body 10 is provided at the rear with an inspection hatch 11 and in the lower part with a grinding-extraction screw 12 driven by a geared motor 13.

Le dispositif représenté sur les figures 2 à 4 peut être avantageusement équipé de moyens de mise en place de papier protecteur sur le fond de la cuvette 5 au moment du basculement de cette dernière pour la faire passer de sa position de repos (figure 4) pour laquelle la cuvette est renversée au-dessus de l'orifice 4 délimitée dans la partie fixe 2a,2b, dans sa position d'utilisation (figure 2).The device shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 can advantageously be equipped with means for placing protective paper on the bottom of the bowl 5 at the time of the tilting of the latter to make it pass from its rest position (FIG. 4) for which the bowl is overturned above the orifice 4 defined in the fixed part 2a, 2b, in its position of use (Figure 2).

Les figures 5 et 6 illustrent un mode de réalisation de tels moyens propres à déployer au-dessus de la cuvette une feuille de papier appropriée 14, par exemple de forme rectangulaire. Les feuilles 14 sont stockées dans un magasin symbolisé en 15 et conçu pour présenter les feuilles 14 une à une en faisant dépasser sur la face supérieure du magasin 15 l'une des extrémités d'une feuille. Un tel principe de distribution feuille à feuille est bien connu et n'a pas besoin d'être décrit plus en détail. Lorsqu'une feuille 14 est extraite du magasin 15 la feuille suivante est automatiquement positionnée en attente avec son extrémité dépassante dirigée vers le haut.Figures 5 and 6 illustrate an embodiment of such means suitable for deploying above the bowl a suitable sheet of paper 14, for example of rectangular shape. The sheets 14 are stored in a store symbolized at 15 and designed to present the sheets 14 one by one by projecting on the upper face of the store 15 one of the ends of a sheet. Such a sheet-by-sheet distribution principle is well known and does not need to be described in more detail. When a sheet 14 is extracted from the magazine 15 the next sheet is automatically positioned in standby with its projecting end facing upwards.

L'extrémité dépassante de la feuille 14 dans le magasin est saisie par une pince 16 solidaire de la partie la de la cuvette lorsque cette dernière est en position renversée (figure 5). Plus précisément, ladite pince 16 comprend une branche 16a fixe, constituée par un rebord à 90° de ladite partie la et une branche 16b mobile articulée en 17 sur la branche 16a et prolongée au-delà de l'axe d'articulation 17 par un premier levier 18 d'ouverture de la pince 16 et par un second levier d'ouverture 19, la pince 16 étant en position normale de fermeture sous l'action d'un ressort de rappel permanent 20.The protruding end of the sheet 14 in the magazine is gripped by a clamp 16 secured to the part 1a of the bowl when the latter is in the inverted position (FIG. 5). More specifically, said clamp 16 comprises a fixed branch 16a, constituted by a 90 ° rim of said part 1a and a movable branch 16b articulated at 17 on branch 16a and extended beyond the axis of articulation 17 by a first lever 18 for opening the clamp 16 and by a second opening lever 19, the clamp 16 being in position normal closing under the action of a permanent return spring 20.

Au moment où la cuvette 5 vient (figure 5) en fin de course de rabattement, le levier 18 vient en contact avec le rebord 21 de la partie 2a et écarte la branche 16b de la branche 16a, permettant ainsi à la pince 16 de s'engager à cheval sur la tranche de la feuille 14 du magasin, sans toutefois pincer celle-ci. Le dispositif reste dans cette position durant tout le temps de non-utilisation du water-closet.When the bowl 5 comes (Figure 5) at the end of the drawdown stroke, the lever 18 comes into contact with the rim 21 of the part 2a and separates the branch 16b from the branch 16a, thus allowing the clamp 16 to s '' straddle the edge of the sheet 14 of the store, without pinching it. The device remains in this position during the entire period of non-use of the water closet.

A l'ouverture de la cuvette, dès que la partie la se soulève, la pince 16 se referme sur la feuille 14, l'entraîne, puis l'extrait totalement du magasin 15 et la déploie au dessus de la cuvette (figure 6).When the bowl opens, as soon as the part is raised, the clamp 16 closes on the sheet 14, drives it, then extracts it completely from the magazine 15 and deploys it above the bowl (FIG. 6) .

A la fin de la course d'ouverture de la cuvette 5, c'est le levier 19 qui vient en contact avec une butée fixe 22 solidaire de la partie 2b et ouvre la pince 16, libérant ainsi la feuille 14. La pince 16 ne se refermera que lors du soulèvement de la partie la pour remettre la cuvette 5 en position de couvercle du water-closet.At the end of the opening stroke of the bowl 5, it is the lever 19 which comes into contact with a fixed stop 22 integral with the part 2b and opens the clamp 16, thus releasing the sheet 14. The clamp 16 does not will close only when the part la is raised to put the bowl 5 back in the water closet cover position.

On peut prévoir une pince 16 unique de largeur suffisante ou deux pinces identiques espacées l'une de l'autre. Le ou les leviers 19 faisant saillie extérieurement sont disposés latéralement à la partie la ou traversant une fenêtre ménagée à cet effet dans la paroi de la partie 1a.One can provide a single clamp 16 of sufficient width or two identical clamps spaced from each other. The lever (s) 19 projecting outwardly are arranged laterally to the part 1a or passing through a window provided for this purpose in the wall of the part 1a.

On peut prévoir bien entendu d'autres moyens pour déployer le papier, qu'il s'agisse de feuilles individuelles ou de longueurs prélevées sur du papier en bande ou rouleau.It is of course possible to provide other means for deploying the paper, whether individual sheets or lengths taken from paper in strips or rolls.

La largeur du papier est suffisante pour faire écran entre la cuvette 5 et les fèces, ce qui limite d'autant le souillage de la cuvette et la quantité d'eau de rinçage.The width of the paper is sufficient to form a screen between the bowl 5 and the faeces, which limits the soiling of the bowl and the amount of rinsing water.

Lorsque la cuvette 5 sera remise dans sa position renversée, son basculement va entraîner la chute de l'ensemble formé par le papier tapissant le fond de la cuvette et les matières déposées sur le papier. Cet ensemble est repris par le système de broyage-évacuation 12-13 et à la fin du basculement de la cuvette (figure 4) le système de rinçage 7 est mis en service pour nettoyer la paroi de la cuvette en éliminant toutes traces, surtout liquides du fait de l'existence du papier protecteur.When the bowl 5 is returned to its inverted position, its tilting will cause the assembly formed by the paper falling on the bottom of the bowl and the materials deposited on the paper to fall. This assembly is taken up by the grinding-evacuation system 12-13 and at the end of the tilting of the bowl (figure 4) the rinsing system 7 is put into service to clean the wall of the bowl by eliminating all traces, especially liquids due to the existence of the protective paper.

La mise en service pendant une durée prédéterminée du système 7 peut être avantageusement déclenchée automatiquement par exemple par un détecteur de fin de course de renversement de la cuvette 5.The commissioning for a predetermined period of time of the system 7 can advantageously be triggered automatically for example by an end-of-travel detector for reversing the bowl 5.

Si ledit papier protecteur est en rouleau des amorces de déchirage sont prévues de place en place dans le papier pour permettre une séparation ultérieure aisée de la partie de papier déposée au-dessus de la cuvette à l'ouverture du water-closet. Un dispositif de sectionnement du papier peut également être prévu pour séparer, en fin d'ouverture de la cuvette 5, la partie de papier déployée au-dessus de la cuvette du reste du rouleau.If the said protective paper is in roll, tearing caps are provided from place to place in the paper to allow easy later separation of the part of paper deposited above the bowl when the water closet opens. A paper cutting device can also be provided to separate, at the end of opening of the bowl 5, the part of paper deployed above the bowl from the rest of the roll.

La manoeuvre de la cuvette 5 est manuelle ou mécanique, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de basculement mécaniques appropriés commandés par l'utilisateur ou automatiquement par exemple à partir d'un détecteur de présence de personne dans le local dans lequel est installé le water-closet.The operation of the bowl 5 is manual or mechanical, by means of appropriate mechanical tilting means controlled by the user or automatically, for example from a person presence detector in the room in which the water is installed. closet.

La prévision de joints d'étanchéité entre les parties mobile (1a,1b) et fixe (2a,2b) limite au maximum la diffusion des odeurs à partir de l'intérieur du corps 10, non seulement en période de non-utilisation du water-closet (cuvette 5 renversée, figure 4), mais également en période d'utilisation (figure 2).The provision of gaskets between the movable (1a, 1b) and fixed (2a, 2b) parts minimizes the diffusion of odors from inside the body 10, not only during periods of non-use of water -closet (bowl 5 overturned, Figure 4), but also during periods of use (Figure 2).

Enfin, l'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée au mode de réalisation représenté et décrit ci-dessus mais en couvre au contraire toutes les variantes notamment en ce qui concerne les formes et dimensions de la cuvette 5 et des parties marginales l'entourant, les formes et dimensions des parties fixes 2a,2b de part et d'autre de l'axe de rotation 3 de la cuvette, la nature et l'agencement des moyens d'étanchéité entre les deux parties fixe 2 et mobile 1 du water-closet, des moyens de rinçage de la cuvette 5, ainsi que des éventuels moyens de déploiement d'un papier ou analogue protecteur dans la cuvette au moment de sa mise en position d'utilisation.Finally, the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown and described above, but on the contrary covers all variants thereof, in particular as regards the shapes and dimensions of the bowl 5 and of the marginal parts surrounding it, the shapes and dimensions of the fixed parts 2a, 2b on either side of the axis of rotation 3 of the bowl, the nature and arrangement of the sealing means between the two fixed 2 and mobile 1 parts of the water- closet, means for rinsing the bowl 5, as well as possible means for deploying a protective paper or the like in the bowl when it is put in the position of use.

C'est ainsi que les moyens de rinçage de la cuvette 5, au lieu d'être constitués par une rampe 7 solidaire de la cuvette, peuvent être constitués par une rampe 7′ (figure 1) de configuration analogue, solidaire de la partie antérieure fixe 2a et disposée au voisinage du plan de l'orifice 4 en regard et à faible distance du fond de la cuvette 5. A cet effet, seules l'une et/ou l'autre des extrémités 7′a,7′b sont fixées à ladite partie 2a, l'alimentation en eau étant faite par l'une et/ou l'autre de ces extrémités, à partir de la canalisation 9.Thus the means for rinsing the bowl 5, instead of being constituted by a ramp 7 secured to the bowl, can be constituted by a ramp 7 ′ (FIG. 1) of similar configuration, secured to the front part fixed 2a and arranged in the vicinity of the plane of the orifice 4 opposite and at a short distance from the bottom of the bowl 5. For this purpose, only one and / or the other of the ends 7′a, 7′b are fixed to said part 2a, the water supply being made by one and / or the other of these ends, from the pipeline 9.

Au cours du renversement de la cuvette 5, la rampe fixe 7′ va balayer tout le fond de la cuvette. Ce mode de réalisation évite le joint tournant 8.During the overturning of the bowl 5, the fixed ramp 7 ′ will sweep the entire bottom of the bowl. This embodiment avoids the rotating joint 8.
