Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Deckel mit Sitz für ein Wasserklosett, wobei der um eine Schwenkachse hochklappbare und den WC-Sitz abdeckende WC-Deckel aus einer Innenschale und einer Außenschale besteht, die einen Hohlraum umschliessen.The invention relates to a lid with a seat for a water closet, the toilet lid, which can be folded up about a pivot axis and covers the toilet seat, consists of an inner shell and an outer shell, which enclose a cavity.

Bei der Konzeption eines Wasserklosetts mit Wascheinrichtung und einem Warmlufttrockner ergeben sich räumliche Probleme bei der Unterbringung des Warmlufttrockners. Derartige Geräte wurden bisher zwischen Sitz und Spülkasten angeordnet, was jedoch Nachteile für die Sauberhaltung mit sich bringt. Außerdem ergeben sich aus dieser Anordnung Nachteile im Hinblick auf die elektrische Sicherheit.When designing a water closet with a washing device and a warm air dryer, there are spatial problems with the accommodation of the warm air dryer. Such devices have so far been arranged between the seat and the cistern, but this has disadvantages for keeping them clean. This arrangement also has disadvantages with regard to electrical safety.

Ein Ziel der Erfindung ist die Beseitigung dieser Nachteile. Aus der US-PS 4 586 201 ist eine WC-Sitz/Deckel-Kombination mit im Bereich der Deckelfläche angeordnetem Gebläse bekannt, deren Funktion die Absaugung von Gerüchen aus dem WC-Innenraum ist. Dieselbe Aufgabe hat eine in der US-PS 2 849 727 gezeigte Vorrichtung, bei der das Gebläse im Bereich der Schwenkachse des WC-Deckels angeordnet ist. In der DE-OS 3 239 008 ist eine WC-Sitz/Deckel-Kombination gezeigt, bei der innerhalb des Sitzes eine Heizung angeordnet ist.An object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks. From US Pat. No. 4,586,201 a toilet seat / lid combination with a fan arranged in the area of the lid surface is known, the function of which is to extract odors from the interior of the toilet. The same task has a device shown in US Pat. No. 2,849,727, in which the fan is arranged in the region of the pivot axis of the toilet lid. DE-OS 3 239 008 shows a toilet seat / cover combination in which a heater is arranged inside the seat.

Im Gegensatz zu diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen hat die Erfindung die Aufgabe, Warmluft mittels eines Gebläses und eines Heizelements im zweischaligen Deckel zu erzeugen und möglichst effektiv zum Unterkörper des sitzenden Benutzers auszublasen.In contrast to these known devices, the object of the invention is to generate warm air by means of a blower and a heating element in the double-shell cover and to blow it out as effectively as possible to the lower body of the seated user.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß bei einem Deckel mit Sitz der eingangs angegebenen Art in dem Hohlraum das Gebläse und das Heizelement eines Warmlufttrockners angeordnet sind und der WC-Deckel in hochgeklappter Stellung oben und unten zwischen Außenschale und Innenschale je einen Schlitz aufweist, wobei die Außenschale zur Bildung eines Luftaustrittschlitzes zwischen der Unterseite des WC-Sitzes und der Außenschale bis unter die Schwenkachse geführt ist und so einen etwa L-förmigen Querschnitt hat und durch nach oben sich verjüngende Seitenwände abgeschlossen ist. Zweckmäßigerweise weist die Deckelaußenschale in hochgeklappter Stellung in ihrem oberen Bereich Längsschlitze auf.This object is achieved in that the blower and the heating element of a warm air dryer are arranged in a lid with a seat of the type specified in the cavity and the toilet lid has a slot between the outer shell and the inner shell in the folded-up position, whereby the outer shell is formed to form an air outlet slot between the underside of the toilet seat and the outer shell below the pivot axis and thus has an approximately L-shaped cross section and is closed by tapering side walls. The outer cover shell expediently has longitudinal slots in its upper region in the folded-up position.

Durch die Verlegung von Gebläse und Heizelement in den Hohlraum des zweischaligen WC-Deckels ergeben sich folgende Vorteile: das Wasserklosett ist leicht sauberzuhalten, die elektrische Sicherheit ist gegenüber bekannten Vorrichtungen leichter zu gewährleisten und die Einheit aus Deckel und Warmlufzttrockner kann problemlos nachgerrüstet werden. Insbesondere führt die Anordnung von Gebläse und Heizelement im Deckel und damit in möglichst großer Entfernung zur Ausblasöffnung zu einer aerodynamischen vorteilhaften Luftführung. Zusammen mit der großvolumigen Gestaltung der Ausblasöffnung, welche gemeinsam durch Deckel und Sitz gebildet wird, wird so der erforderliche hohe Luftumsatz erzielt.Laying the blower and heating element in the cavity of the double-skin toilet lid has the following advantages: the water closet is easy to keep clean, electrical safety is easier to guarantee than known devices and the unit consisting of lid and hot air dryer can be easily retrofitted. In particular, the arrangement of the blower and the heating element in the cover and thus at the greatest possible distance from the blow-out opening leads to aerodynamically advantageous air guidance. Together with the large-volume design of the blow-out opening, which is formed by the cover and seat, the required high air conversion is achieved.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand der Zeichnungen näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt den WC-Deckel mit zugehörigem WC-Sitz im Querschnitt in hochgeklappter Stellung, die Fig. 2a, 2b und 2c zeigen die Teile des WC-Deckels und den zugehörigen WC-Sitz in schaubildlicher Darstellung und Fig. 3 zeigt den WC-Deckel in Schließstellung.Fig. 1 shows the toilet lid with associated toilet seat in cross-section in the raised position, Figs. 2a, 2b and 2c show the parts of the toilet lid and the associated toilet seat in a diagram and Fig. 3 shows the toilet -Lid in closed position.

Wie aus den Figuren ersichtlich, besteht der WC-Deckel aus einer Außenschale 1 und einer Innenschale 2. Der zugehörige WC-Sitz ist mit 3 bezeichnet. Die beiden Schalen 1, 2 umschließen einen Hohlraum 4 in dem das Gebläse 5 und das Heizelement 6 angeordnet sind. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, weist der WC-Deckel in hochgeklappter Stellung oben für die Zuluft einen Schlitz 7 auf, der zwischen der Außenschale 1 und der Innenschale 2 vorgesehen ist. Außerdem weist die Außenschale 1 in ihrem oberen Bereich Schlitze 8 auf, die ebenfalls für die Zuluft vorgesehen sind. In hochgeklappter Stellung ist zwischen Außenschale 1 und Innenschale 2 unten ein Schlitz 9 vorgesehen, aus dem die vorgewärmte Luft aus dem Hohlraum 4 austreten kann. Die Außenschale 1 hat im Querschnitt etwa L-Form und ist in hochgeklappter Stellung bis unter die Schwenkachse geführt, sodaß zwischen der Unterseite des WC-Sitzes 3 und der Außenschale 1 ein Luftaustrittsschlitz 11 gebildet ist. Die Außenschale 1 ist durch Seitenwände 12, die sich gegen die der Schwenkachse 10 gegenüber-liegenden Seite der Außenschale hin verjüngen, abgeschlossen. Entsprechend den eingezeichneten Pfeilen wird die Luft durch die Schlitze 7, 8 vom Gebläse 5 angesaugt, streicht über das Heizelement 6 und gelangt über die Schlitze 9 und 11 von unten in den vom dem WC-Sitz umschlossenen Bereich.As can be seen from the figures, the toilet lid consists of an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 2. The associated toilet seat is designated by 3. The two shells 1, 2 enclose a cavity 4 in which the fan 5 and the heating element 6 are arranged. As can be seen from FIG. 1, in the folded-up position, the toilet lid has a slot 7 for the supply air, which is provided between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2. In addition, the outer shell 1 has slots 8 in its upper region, which are also provided for the supply air. In the folded-up position, a slot 9 is provided between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 at the bottom, from which the preheated air can escape from the cavity 4. The outer shell 1 has an approximately L-shape in cross section and is guided in the folded-up position to below the pivot axis, so that an air outlet slot 11 is formed between the underside of the toilet seat 3 and the outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 is formed by side walls 12 which are opposite to the pivot axis 10 Taper side of outer shell, complete. According to the arrows shown, the air is sucked in through the slots 7, 8 by the blower 5, sweeps over the heating element 6 and passes through the slots 9 and 11 from below into the area enclosed by the toilet seat.
