Le W.C selon l'invention tend à diminuer la consommation d'eau en ne modifiant, dans les installations actuelles, que l'abattant et/ou le siège. Le W.C est du type comportant une cuvette, une chasse, un siphon, un abattant et éventuellement un siège, caractérisé par le fait que la libération de la colonne d'eau de rinçage met en surpression la cuvette, dont l'abattant et éventuellement le siège sont pourvus de moyens rendant hermétique la fermeture de l'abattant du siège sur le bord de la cuvette, uniquement lorsque ladite cuvette est en surpression et que ledit abattant comporte un moyen de blocage de son ouverture en position fermée hermétique de manière à résister à ladite surpression.The toilet according to the invention tends to reduce the consumption of water by modifying, in current installations, only the flap and / or the seat. The WC is of the type comprising a bowl, a flush, a siphon, a flap and possibly a seat, characterized in that the release of the column of rinsing water puts the bowl under pressure, the flap and possibly the seat are provided with means which seal the closure of the seat flap on the edge of the bowl, only when said bowl is overpressure and said flap comprises a means for blocking its opening in the closed airtight position so as to resist said overpressure.
Le moyen de blocage en position fermée de l'abattant réside dans son poids qui est supérieur au poids de la colonne d'eau de rinçage, de manière à ne pas se soulever au moment de la libération de la colonne d'eau de rinçage dans la cuvette et à résister ainsi à la surpression.The locking means in the closed position of the flap resides in its weight which is greater than the weight of the rinse water column, so as not to rise when the rinse water column is released in the bowl and thus resist overpressure.
Le moyen de blocage de 1'abattant est un crochet qui maintient l'abattant en position fermée hermétique.The locking means of the flap is a hook which keeps the flap in the airtight closed position.
L'abattant est hermétique, en surpression de la cuvette, au moyen d'un joint d'étanchéité' qui. coopère avec le bord de la cuvette ou du siège.The flap is airtight, overpressure of the bowl, by means of a seal ' which. cooperates with the edge of the bowl or seat.
Le siège comporte également un (joint d'étanchéité qui assure l'étanchéité, en surpression de la cuvette, entre la face inférieure du siège et le bord de la cuvette.The seat also has a ( gasket which seals, overpressure of the bowl, between the underside of the seat and the edge of the bowl.
Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples indicatifs et non limitatifs. Ils représentent un mode de réalisation préféré selon l'invention. Ils permettront de comprendre aisément l'invention.The attached drawings are given as indicative and non-limiting examples. They represent a preferred embodiment according to the invention. They will allow the invention to be easily understood.
La figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un W.C traditionnel dans lequel l'abattant et le siège ne sont pas fermés de manière hermétique.Figure 1 is a schematic view of a traditional toilet in which the flap and the seat are not hermetically closed.
La figure 2 est une vue schématique d'un W.C avec un abattant et un siège hermétiques lorsqu'ils sont fermés et rabattus sur la cuvette.Figure 2 is a schematic view of a W.C with a flap and an airtight seat when closed and folded down on the bowl.
Dans la figure 1, le W.C classique est composé : d'une cuvette 1, d'un siphon 2, d'une chasse d'eau de rinçage 3, d'un siège 4, et d'un abattant 5.In Figure 1, the classic WC is composed of: a bowl 1, a siphon 2, a flushing flush 3, a seat 4, and a flap 5.
Cet abattant classique 5 et son siège 4 ne sont pas pourvus de moyens assurant une fermeture hermétique à l'ouverture du clapet 6 de la chasse d'eau 3 de rinçage, l'eau de rinçage 7 doit atteindre un certain niveau de hauteur dans la cuvette 1 au-dessus du niveau du siphon 2 pour amorcer l'évacuation des eaux vannes. L'eau vannes tourbillonne dans le bas de la cuvette 1 et la totalité de l'eau vannes n'est pas toujours évacuée.This conventional flap 5 and its seat 4 are not provided with means ensuring a hermetic closure upon opening of the valve 6 of the flushing flush 3, the flushing water 7 must reach a certain level of height in the bowl 1 above the level of the siphon 2 to initiate the evacuation of sewage. The valve water swirls at the bottom of the bowl 1 and all of the valve water is not always discharged.
Quand l'eau de rinçage 7 tombe dans la cuvette 1, l'air en excès s'échappe par la flèches FI puisque l'abattant 5 et le siège 4 n'assurent pas une étanchéité hermétique au niveau du bord 8 de la cuvette 1.When the rinse water 7 falls into the bowl 1, the air in excess escapes through the arrows FI since the flap 5 and the seat 4 do not provide a hermetic seal at the edge 8 of the bowl 1.
Ce type de W.C classique fonctionne avec en moyenne dix litres d'eau.This type of classic WC works with an average of ten liters of water.
Le W.C selon l'invention peut fonctionner avec seulement quatre litres d'eau. L'abattant et éventuellement le siège, s'il y en a un, doivent assurer une fermeture hermétique lorsqu'ils sont fermés, rabattus sur le bord de la cuvette. Seul l'abattant doit être modifié et éventuellement le siège. Tout le reste du W.C classique peut être conservé. Il suffit alors de réduire le volume d'eau de rinçage contenu dans la chasse par exemple :The WC according to the invention can operate with only four liters of water. The toilet seat and possibly the seat, if there is one, must ensure a hermetic seal when closed, folded over the edge of the bowl. Only the seat must be modified and possibly the seat. All the rest of the classic toilet can be kept. It then suffices to reduce the volume of rinsing water contained in the flush, for example:
- en modifiant le réglage du flotteur,- by modifying the float setting,
- en ajoutant des briques, - en ajoutant des sachets étanches de sable,- by adding bricks, - by adding waterproof sandbags,
Dans la figure 2, l'abattant 9 et le siège 10 sont pourvus respectivement de moyens tels que des joints 11, 12, qui assurent 1'étanchéité lorsque l'abattant 9 et le siège 10 sont fermés.In FIG. 2, the flap 9 and the seat 10 are respectively provided with means such as seals 11, 12, which ensure the seal when the flap 9 and the seat 10 are closed.
A l'ouverture du clapet 6, de la chasse 3 d'eau de rinçage, le volume d'eau de rinçage 7 crée une surpression en descendant vers la cuvette 1 qui est fermée de manière hermétique, grâce à l'abattant 9 et au siège 10 étanches, provoque, avant que ladite eau de rinçage 7 n'atteigne le bas de la cuvette 1, 1'évacuation d'une grande partie des eaux vannes contenues au fond de la cuvette 1 et ce, sans attendre que l'eau de rinçage 7 ne fasse remonter le niveau de siphon 2 pour amorcer son évacuation. Par simple surpression, l'eau vannes s'évacue plus rapidement nécessitant donc beaucoup moins d'eau de rinçage, voir les flèches F2, F3. REFERENCESAt the opening of the valve 6, flushing flushing water 3, the volume of flushing water 7 creates an overpressure down to the bowl 1 which is closed hermetically, thanks to the flap 9 and the waterproof seat 10, causes, before said rinsing water 7 reaches the bottom of the bowl 1, the evacuation of a large part of the valve water contained at the bottom of the bowl 1 and this, without waiting for the water of rinse 7 does not raise the level of siphon 2 to start its evacuation. By simple overpressure, the valve water is evacuated more quickly, thus requiring much less rinsing water, see arrows F2, F3. REFERENCES
