EP0676508A1 - Hygienic urinal - Google Patents

Abstract

The urinal is a narrowed receptacle (R) which is joined to a rigid waste pipe (T). This is joined to a pipe (E) which opens into the toilet basin. It is mobile round a vertical axis. After use it is placed under a small water cistern (C), fixed to the wall. The cistern is filled from a water pipe (A) and its lower edge has notches on which the upper edge of the receptacle is held. The waste pipe can be flexible or it can be telescopic and protected by a sheath. <IMAGE>

Description

The present invention relates to a urinal for men making it possible to urinate cleanly without splashing, requiring only a small amount of water for rinsing it and preventing the diffusion of bad odors thanks to its flush toilet lid.

Current devices for urinating in humans (toilets or urinals) have at least three drawbacks:
The first is the lack of hygiene and the bad smells caused by the splashes caused by men urinating while standing in the toilet bowl.

The second is the significant water consumption, of ten liters, when you operate a traditional toilet flush.

The third concerning the odors due to the lack of cover in the existing systems currently of public urinals in particular.

The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. According to a first characteristic, it indeed comprises a flared container collecting the urine which may be of various shapes. This is connected by its lower end to a mobile drain pipe. The evacuation pipe is connected at its distal end to an evacuation pipe. The flared container is placed after use at the bottom of the flush toilet in notches provided for this purpose. The flush toilet is fixed to the wall. It consists at its upper part of a water reserve with a capacity, without limitation, of about two liters. At its lower part, there is a water drainage system for rinsing the flared container and a system for triggering the flush when the flared container is replaced at the lower part of the flush. lid.

• Le dispositif (selon la figure 1) peut être indépendant et relié à une canalisation d'évacuation.
• Le dispositif (selon la figure 2) peut être relié à la buse d'évacuation de la cuvette des toilettes traditionnelles.
• Le dispositif (selon la figure 3) peut être intégré lors de la fabrication à une chasse d'eau de toilette. Il est toutefois compartimenté de celle-ci.

According to particular embodiments:

• The device (according to Figure 1) can be independent and connected to an evacuation pipe.
• The device (according to Figure 2) can be connected to the discharge nozzle of the bowl of traditional toilets.
• The device (according to Figure 3) can be integrated during manufacture with a toilet flush. It is however compartmentalized from it.

Referring to the drawing of Figure 1, the device comprises a flared container (R) which can be of various shapes. It is provided on its upper edge with a slot allowing the flow of pressurized water from the flush. The container is also provided inside with a rim to prevent backflow of urine or water.

The lower end of the container is connected to a rigid drain pipe (T). The top of the drain pipe is straight in a vertical plane. The lower part of the drain pipe is straight in an oblique plane. The discharge pipe can be telescopic, thereby varying its height. The distal end of the evacuation pipe is connected to an evacuation pipe (E) at this point the system is movable relative to a vertical axis.

The flared container (R) is replaced after use at the bottom of a flush toilet lid (C). The flush toilet consists of a water tank with a capacity of approximately two liters at its top. This tank is filled thanks to a water inlet (A). At its lower part, the lid flush forms notches in which the upper rim of the container slides, thus ensuring that it remains flush with the lid. The container thus maintained, the lower part of the tank serves as a cover. The toilet flush is fixed to the wall.

The flushing is actuated when the container is put back under the lid flushing with a projection (S) located on the upper rim of the container, which pushes a spring button (B) located at the lower side of the toilet. (Figure 4)

A slot located at the lower lateral part of the tank allows the water to flow, for rinsing the container, when the flush is triggered. The location of this slot corresponds to the location of the container slot (F).

To avoid water leaking on the floor when removing the container, the drainage slot is closed by a spring-loaded protection plate (P) fitted with a stopper. When replacing the container, a stopper located on the rim top of the container pushes the buffer plate stopper and opens the tank slot. The slot closes automatically when the container is removed thanks to the spring of the protective plate. (Figure 5)

In the embodiment according to Figure 2, the device is the same as that described in Figure 1. It is located next to traditional toilets, the drain pipe (T) is connected to the toilet drain nozzle .

In the embodiment according to Figure 3, the cover flush (C) is integrated with the traditional toilet flush during manufacture, while being compartmentalized thereof. In this case, the drain hose (T) is flexible.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended for private or public use.
