Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cistern according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a cistern is known from EP 276 633 B1, which is designed in particular as a concealed cistern and has a housing, an inlet valve and an outlet valve of an outlet fitting.
  • a pushbutton is used to actuate the drain fitting, by means of which an overflow pipe of the drain fitting mentioned can be actuated.
  • a holder or carrier of the inlet valve and / or the organs for actuating the drain fitting is arranged at the upper end of the cistern housing.
  • the holder is bridge-shaped and is fastened on the one hand to the rear wall and on the other hand to the front wall of the housing.
  • the holder has a rectangular frame, on which two pins with a cross-shaped profile are formed at the rear.
  • a web or rag is formed on the front of the frame, which rests on a lower edge of an inspection opening.
  • the push button is arranged in the area of this inspection opening, which is provided in the front wall of the housing.
  • the push button is mounted on a lever in a bearing of a bearing block, which is arranged above the holder on this.
  • the bearing block has a comparatively large height, and essentially corresponds to the height of the inspection opening, so that additional measures for stable design and fastening with the holder are required. If assembly or maintenance work is to be carried out, the bridge-shaped holder must be removed from the housing or reinstalled, since the individual components of the drain fitting are otherwise not freely accessible. Any functional tests must be carried out with the holder installed and the proper interaction of the individual components of the drain fitting cannot be checked easily.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop the cistern of the type mentioned with little design effort such that simple assembly is ensured and further components of the cistern, in particular the drain fitting, are easily accessible.
  • the assembly effort as well as the necessary steps and construction measures for inspection and maintenance should be reduced to a minimum.
  • the cistern and in particular the fastening of the drain fitting and the components required for its actuation should have a high level of functional reliability and a high level of stability. After all, the cistern should meet practical requirements and have a high level of reliability and service life.
  • the proposed cistern is characterized by a functional and stable construction and the support attached to the cistern on one side ensures that the drain fitting is freely accessible.
  • the actuating element in particular the push button for actuating the drain fitting, is fastened to the carrier in a functionally reliable manner.
  • the bearings for the actuating element are provided directly on the carrier, these bearings being expedient with the carrier are formed in one piece.
  • the actuating element can be designed for direct manual actuation of the drain valve as a push button which is coupled to the drain fitting for actuating the drain valve via a lever or a linkage.
  • the actuating element mounted according to the invention on the one-armed support can be designed as a lever with which an actuating button can be brought into engagement in order to correspondingly actuate the drain fitting.
  • the carrier with the actuating element, in particular the push button does not have to be removed, as a result of which the workload is reduced to a minimum.
  • the proper connection between the push button and the drain fitting need not be checked.
  • Further components, in particular the inlet valve and / or pipe socket or lines, can also be arranged on the carrier fastened on one side.
  • bearings, connecting parts or the like for coupling to a spatially separated actuating element in the form of a push button, push button or the like can be arranged on the carrier. It is ensured that no assembly errors can occur.
  • the carrier is angular and protrudes upward beyond the top edge of the cistern housing.
  • the carrier expediently contains a guide body which is coupled to the wall of the housing over a predetermined height and / or runs parallel to the housing wall. This ensures a stable connection of the carrier to the housing.
  • the said guide body is oriented essentially vertically and is connected via an upper part to a transverse arm which extends away from the housing wall in the direction of the interior of the housing.
  • the cross arm is arranged above the edge of the housing, in particular within the cover with which the housing is closed at the top.
  • a connecting web between the guide body and the cross arm is also expediently provided. This connecting web is in particular triangular and preferably extends from the lower edge of the guide body to the free end of the cross arm.
  • the connecting web expediently extends orthogonally away from the guide body and / or from the housing wall to which the guide body is attached. Because of the connecting bridge points the carrier has a comparatively high rigidity and strength with a low use of materials. Furthermore, to increase stability, the carrier can also have longitudinal and / or transverse ribs for the purpose of stiffening. The actuator, its connecting means, bearings and the like are thus easily accessible, so that maintenance or repair work can be done in a simple manner without removing the carrier.
  • the carrier is expediently supported on the lid. This means that when the push button is pressed, forces are also absorbed via the cover and the support is thus relieved. If there is no lid directly connected to the cistern housing, the support can also be supported on other support surfaces, such as cladding, bushings or the like, within the scope of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a part of the cistern housing 2, on the upper edge 4, a cover 6 is placed.
  • the cistern housing 2 contains, in a known manner, an inlet valve (not shown further here) and a drain valve (also not shown) or a corresponding outlet fitting.
  • a pushbutton 8 is provided, with which a lever 10 is coupled.
  • a suspension eye or the like is indicated schematically by dash-dotted lines 12 and is in particular a component of a valve or overflow pipe of the drain valve. If the push button 8 is actuated in the direction of arrow 13, the valve or overflow pipe is raised by means of the lever 10 and the drain valve operated. If the push button 8 on the other side of the pivot axis is actuated, the lever 10 is lowered and the drain valve is closed.
  • the dash-dotted line 14 indicates the longitudinal axis of the drain fitting, not shown here, at the lower end of which the drain valve is arranged in the bottom of the cistern.
  • a carrier 16 for fastening and mounting the push button 8 is arranged at a distance 15 from the longitudinal axis of the drain fitting.
  • the longitudinal axis 14 essentially marks the center of the cistern housing 2, especially since in such cisterns the drain fitting and the drain valve are regularly arranged in the middle.
  • the carrier 16 is arranged according to the distance 15 offset from the center of the cistern to the visible side wall thereof. Because of this lateral offset, the lever 10 coupled to the actuating element, in particular the pushbutton 8, can be easily coupled to the hanging eye 12 or the like of the drain fitting.
  • the arrangement of this type and / or the design of the carrier 16, which will be explained below, in the installed and coupled state of the actuating element and / or the drain fitting enable simple functional testing and accessibility thereof.
  • the actuating element designed in this embodiment as a pushbutton 8 is mounted on the carrier 16 so as to be pivotable about an axis 18 orthogonal to the plane of the drawing.
  • a lever 17 is integrally formed on the pushbutton 8, which is coupled to the hook-in eye 12 and can be removed from it if necessary.
  • the aforementioned lever 17 is pivotably mounted on the support 16 alone and can be actuated by means of a separately arranged button.
  • the carrier 16 is fastened to the rear wall 20 of the cistern housing 2 and is designed as a one-armed carrier which has an essentially horizontal transverse arm 19 at the top.
  • the bearings for the pushbutton 8 are arranged directly on the cross arm 19 of the carrier 16.
  • the carrier is angular and is only attached on one side to a single wall of the cistern housing 2. In the context of the invention, the carrier could also be attached to the side wall 22, for example.
  • the actuating element is therefore not fastened to the lid or to components connected to the lid, but in the manner explained to a single wall of the cistern housing 2.
  • the lid 6 can consequently be lifted off or be installed without releasing levers, connecting rods or the like to the drain valve. Due to the one-sided attachment of the carrier to the cistern housing, the interior and components of the cistern arranged therein are freely accessible without the carrier and / or lever and / or the push button having to be removed beforehand.
  • the carrier 16 is of an angular shape and projects upward beyond the upper edge 4 of the cistern housing 2.
  • the actuating elements, bearings or connecting means are also arranged on the carrier above the upper edge 4 on the cross arm 19 and are therefore easily accessible.
  • the carrier 16 contains a guide body 24 which is inserted into a guide element 26, in particular in the form of an undercut groove or a dovetail guide, in the rear wall 20 from above.
  • the guide body 24 is oriented essentially vertically and thus extends orthogonally to the horizontal cross arm 19.
  • the guide body 24 extends downwards into the interior of the housing 2 at a predetermined height 25.
  • the guide element 26, which is designed here as an undercut guide groove or dovetail groove, serves for receiving of the guide body 24 of the carrier 16, which is thus firmly connected to the housing 2. If necessary, the guide body 24 can be pulled up out of the housing 2 over the edge 4.
  • the guide body extends at least over this height 25 parallel to the wall, in this case parallel to the rear wall of the housing 2.
  • a web 27 is provided between the guide body 24 and the transverse arm 19, which, according to FIG. 1, is orthogonal to the plane of the drawing runs.
  • This connecting web ensures good stability and high strength of the carrier with little use of material.
  • the carrier also has 16 ribs 28, 29, which serve to stabilize and further support the cross arm 19. These ribs 28, 29 are arranged essentially parallel to the guide body 24 and / or the rear wall 20 between the connecting web 27 and the cross arm 19.
  • the width of the guide body 24, measured parallel to the plane of the drawing, is larger by a predetermined amount than the front side edges of the undercut guide groove 26.
  • the dimensions of the guide body 24 are matched to the guide groove in such a way that it is seen from above in the manner shown in FIG the guide groove can be used.
  • the plate-like guide body 24 of the carrier 16 engages in the undercut guide element 26 or dovetail groove.
  • the recess 7 for the pushbutton 8 arranged on the top of the cover has an edge 34 directed downwards into the interior of the cistern housing 2.
  • a support element 36 of the carrier 16 bears against the part of this edge 34 which faces towards the rear.
  • the support can also be supported on other support surfaces of the cover within the scope of the invention.
  • An alternate and / or additional supporting surface of the cover for the carrier 16 is indicated by the dash-dotted line 38. If the cistern does not have a comparable cover, for example when it is installed in a flush-mounted manner, the support 16 can also be supported on other support surfaces, for example a cladding, a shaft or the like, within the scope of the invention. Regardless of the particular configuration, the carrier 16 is fastened on one side to a wall of the cistern housing and is supported in a particularly expedient manner on an associated support surface outside and independently of the cistern housing 2.
  • the carrier 16 has two bearing pins 40, 42 on the transverse arm 19.
  • the actuating element and / or the pushbutton 8 each have a recess at the front and rear, which is preferably designed as a downwardly open slot 43.
  • This slot 43 is flared to facilitate the insertion of the push button 8 towards the bottom.
  • the upper end of the slot 43 encompasses the respective bearing journal over an angular range of more than 180 °, for example of the order of 270 °, so that a releasable snap connection of the pushbutton 8 with respect to the carrier 16 is present if required.
  • the pushbutton 8 expediently consists of plastic, which has sufficient elasticity for the latching connection explained.
  • the connecting web 27 expediently extends orthogonally from the lower edge 44 of the carrier 16 to the front end 46 of the cross arm 19.
  • the web 27 is thus in principle triangular, with the ribs 28, 29 between the connecting web 27 and the cross arm 19 are clearly visible. Because of this configuration, the carrier has good stability and strength with little use of material.
  • a line 48 which is also attached to or on the carrier 16, is indicated in FIG.
  • the inlet valve can be arranged on the carrier 16 or components of the drain fitting, the actuating device thereof, levers or the like can be fastened or stored in a suitable manner.
  • the cistern explained on the basis of the drawing is intended for surface mounting and contains a removable cover at the top.
  • the cistern can also be designed, for example, for flush-mounting or pre-wall mounting, it being possible, where appropriate, to omit the aforementioned lid.
  • the push button need not be attached directly to the carrier. Instead of the push button, connecting means, levers or the like are then pivotally mounted on the carrier and above Corresponding coupling elements are used to connect to a trigger unit, push button or the like, which may also be arranged remotely.
  • the coupling of the trigger unit of the actuating element or the like drain valve or its valve or overflow pipe is ensured with a functionally reliable design by means of the support 16 mounted on one side with largely free access to the interior of the cistern housing 2.
