Abstract

The equipment has an operating device to start a full or partial flushing process from a toilet cistern, by lifting a valve member (7) from an outlet fitting (1). The member may be lifted along with a weight (13), which acts on the member against the buoyancy of a float (8), in order to close the valve early. A coupling device is arranged between the weight and the member, and has a switching element (20) mounted in the lower region of the weight. When the member is lifted by a pulling element (26), the switching element, which may be a pawl (19), automatically connects with the member.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spüleinrichtung in einem WC-Spülkasten, mit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung, mit der zur wahlweisen Auslösung einer Voll- oder Teilspülung ein Ventilkörper einer Ablaufgarnitur anzuheben ist, wobei im Fall einer Teilspülung der Ventilkörper mit einem Gewichtskörper anzuheben ist und bei angehobenem Ventilkörper der Gewichtskörper am Ventilkörper lastet um diesen nach Auslösung des Spülvorgangs gegen die Auftriebskraft eines Schwimmers vorzeitig in die Schliessposition zu bringen, und mit einer Kupplungsvorrichtung zwischen dem Ventilkörper und dem Gewichtskörper. Die Erfindung betrifft zudem eine Ablaufgarnitur für einen Spülkasten, mit einem Gehäuse und einem in diesem gelagerten Ventilkörper und mit einem Gewichtskörper, der am genannten Gehäuse abgestützt und mit dem Ventilkörper zu dessen Belastung mittels eines Verbindungsorgans kuppelbar ist.The invention relates to a flushing device in a toilet cistern, with an actuating device with which a valve body of a drain fitting is to be raised for the optional triggering of a full or partial flushing, wherein in the case of a partial flushing the valve body is to be lifted with a weight body and with the valve body raised the weight body on the valve body in order to bring it prematurely into the closed position against the buoyancy force of a float after triggering the flushing process, and with a coupling device between the valve body and the weight body. The invention also relates to a drain fitting for a cistern, with a housing and a valve body mounted therein and with a Weight body, which is supported on the housing mentioned and can be coupled to the valve body for its loading by means of a connecting member.

Spüleinrichtungen und Ablaufgarnituren dieser Art sind bekannt und ermöglichen eine erhebliche Einsparung an Spülwasser. An einer weiten Verbreitung solcher Spüleinrichtungen und Ablaufgarnituren besteht deshalb ein starkes öffentliches Interesse. Die bisher bekannt gewordenen und in der Praxis eingesetzten Spüleinrichtungen sind in der Regel konstruktiv sehr aufwendig und bestehen aus vielen Einzelteilen.Flushing devices and drain sets of this type are known and enable considerable savings in flushing water. There is therefore a strong public interest in the widespread use of such flushing devices and drain sets. The flushing devices which have become known and are used in practice are generally very complex to construct and consist of many individual parts.

Beispielsweise zeigt die EP-A-0 448 092 eine Spüleinrichtung, bei welcher der Ventilkörper in Ruhestellung mit einem Gewichtskörper verbunden ist. Im Fall einer Vollspülung wird der Gewichtskörper vom Ventilkörper getrennt. Im Fall einer Teilspülung wird hingegen der Gewichtskörper mit dem Ventilkörper angehoben.For example, EP-A-0 448 092 shows a flushing device in which the valve body is connected to a weight body in the rest position. In the case of a full flush, the weight body is separated from the valve body. In the case of partial flushing, however, the weight body is raised with the valve body.

Die deutsche Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE-U-92 15 972 zeigt eine Ablaufgarnitur, die ebenfalls eine Voll- oder Teilspülung ermöglicht. Diese arbeitet mit einem Hilfsventil und einem Zusatz-Hilfsventil sowie einer Entlastungskammer und ist ebenfalls sehr aufwendig ausgestaltet.The German utility model DE-U-92 15 972 shows a waste set that also enables full or partial flushing. This works with an auxiliary valve and an auxiliary auxiliary valve and a relief chamber and is also designed to be very complex.

Schliesslich zeigt die DE-A-36 18 671 eine Spülvorrichtung in einem WC-Spülkasten, bei der zur Auslösung einer Teilspülung beim Anheben des Ventilkörpers mittels eines Steuerorgans ein am Schwimmergehäuse abgestütztes Gewicht mitgenommen wird.Finally, DE-A-36 18 671 shows a flushing device in a toilet cistern in which to trigger a partial flush when the valve body is raised by means of a control member a weight supported on the float housing is taken along.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Spüleinrichtung sowie eine Ablaufgarnitur zu schaffen, die einen einfacheren Aufbau und eine kostengünstigere Ausführung ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to provide a flushing device and a pop-up waste, which enable a simpler structure and a cheaper execution.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung dadurch gelöst, dass die Kupplungsvorrichtung ein in einem unteren Bereich des Gewichtskörpers an diesem gelagertes Schaltorgan aufweist, das beim Anheben des Gewichtskörpers mit einem mit diesem verbundenen Zugelement den Gewichtskörper selbsttätig mit dem Ventilkörper verbindet. Die erfindungsgemässe Ablaufgarnitur ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Gewichtskörper mit dem genannten Gehäuse verbunden ist, derart, dass beim Anheben des Gewichtskörpers das Gehäuse das Verbindungsorgan ansteuert um den angehobenen Ventilkörper mit dem Gewichtskörper zu belasten.The object is achieved in a generic flushing device in that the coupling device has a switching element mounted on it in a lower region of the weight body, which automatically connects the weight body to the valve body when the weight body is lifted with a tension element connected to it. The drain assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the weight body is connected to the housing mentioned, in such a way that when the weight body is raised the housing controls the connecting member in order to load the lifted valve body with the weight body.

Bei der erfindungsgemässen Ablaufgarnitur wird somit dessen Gehäuse zur Steuerung des Verbindungsorgans eingesetzt. Das Armaturengehäuse übernimmt damit eine zusätzliche Aufgabe. Das Verbindungsorgan kann damit in einem Spülkasten so tief angeordnet werden, dass es sich bei gefülltem Spülkasten im Spülwasser befindet und dadurch gegen Kalkablagerungen weniger anfällig ist. Damit kann die Betriebssicherheit wesentlich verbessert werden. Das Verbindungsorgan lässt sich weitgehend im Gehäuse der Ablaufgarnitur integrieren, so dass ein sehr kompakter Aufbau realisierbar ist. Dies ist insbesondere bei einem sogenannten Unterputz-Spülkasten äusserst vorteilhaft, da in einem solchen vor allem im oberen Bereich sehr wenig Raum zur Verfügung steht.In the case of the drain fitting according to the invention, its housing is thus used to control the connecting member. The valve body thus takes on an additional task. The connecting element can thus be arranged so deep in a cistern that it is in the rinsing water when the cistern is full and is therefore less susceptible to limescale deposits. This can significantly improve operational safety. The connecting element can largely be integrated in the housing of the waste set, so that a very compact structure can be realized. This is extremely advantageous, particularly in the case of a so-called concealed cistern, since very little space is available, particularly in the upper area.

Ein konstruktiv besonders einfacher und betriebssicherer Aufbau wird dann erreicht, wenn bei der erfindungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung das Schaltorgan bzw. das Verbindungsorgan eine Klinke aufweist. Diese kann dann insbesondere vom Gehäuse der Ablaufgarnitur angesteuert werden, um beim Anheben des Gewichtskörpers diesen am Ventilkörper einzuklinken. Zum Auslösen einer Teilspülung kann dann der Ventilkörper direkt am Gewichtskörper angehoben werden. Der Gewichtskörper ist dazu nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit einem nach oben ragenden Arm versehen, in den ein Zugelement eingreift. Dieses Zugelement kann ein Schwenkhebel sein, der eine von aussen bedienbare Taste besitzt. Beim Drücken der Taste greift dann das Zugelement direkt am Gewichtskörper an um diesen anzuheben. Das Ventilrohr wird mit dem Gewichtskörper mitgenommen. Beim Loslassen der Taste lastet der Gewichtskörper am Ventilkörper und zwingt diesen vor der vollständigen Entleerung des Spülkastens vorzeitig auf den Sitz des Ablaufventils.A structurally particularly simple and reliable construction is achieved when the switching element or the connecting element has a pawl in the flushing device according to the invention. This can then be controlled, in particular, by the housing of the drain fitting in order to latch it onto the valve body when the weight body is lifted. The valve body can then be lifted directly on the weight body to trigger a partial flush. For this purpose, according to a development of the invention, the weight body is provided with an arm projecting upwards, into which a tension element engages. This tension element can be a swivel lever that has a button that can be operated from the outside. When the button is pressed, the pulling element then acts directly on the weight body in order to lift it. The valve tube is taken along with the weight body. When the button is released, the weight body rests on the valve body and forces it prematurely onto the seat of the drain valve before the cistern is completely empty.

Zum Anheben des Ventilkörpers ist nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung am Gewichtskörper ein Anschlag angeordnet, der mit dem Ventilkörper in Wirkverbindung ist um diesen anzuheben.To lift the valve body, a stop is arranged on the weight body according to a development of the invention, which is operatively connected to the valve body in order to lift it.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Deckel der Ablaufgarnitur drehbar am Gehäuse der Ablaufgarnitur gelagert.Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Ablaufgarnitur in jeder Drehstellung montiert werden kann. Dadurch wird eine automatische Montage der Spüleinrichtung bzw. der Ablaufgarnitur wesentlich vereinfacht.According to a further development of the invention, the cover of the waste set is rotatably mounted on the housing of the waste set. This has the advantage that the waste set can be mounted in any rotational position. This considerably simplifies automatic assembly of the flushing device or the drain fitting.

Wie die Figur 1 zeigt, ist ein Schwimmergehäuse 4 einer Ablaufgarnitur 1 an einem Ablaufstutzen 5 in einer Oeffnung 3 eines Spülkastens 2 befestigt. Zur Betätigung der Ablaufgarnitur 1 ist in einem hier nicht gezeigten oberen Bereich des Spülkastens 2 eine in Figur 3 schematisch gezeigte Betätigungsvorrichtung 33 angeordnet. Diese weist zwei Zugelemente 26 und 27 auf, die vorzugsweise unabhängig voneinander schwenkbar an einem Steg 28 des Spülkastens oder des Spülkastendeckels gelagert sind. Diese Elemente 26 und 27 weisen am einen Ende jeweils eine Taste 29 bzw. 30 auf, die von aussen zugänglich sind und zur Auslösung einer Spülung in der Regel von Hand zu betätigen sind. Das Zugelement 26 ist an dem der Taste 29 gegenüberliegenden Ende in eine Öse 14 eines Gewichtskörpers 13 eingesetzt. Beim Drücken der Taste 29 wird der Gewichtskörper 13 angehoben. Das andere Zugelement 27 greift mit dem der Taste 30 gegenüberliegenden Ende in eine Öse 24 eines Ventilkörpers 7 ein, der hier als Überlaufrohr ausgebildet ist. Beim Drücken der Taste 30 wird der Ventilkörper 7 angehoben. Zum Anheben des Gewichtskörpers 13 und des Ventilkörpers 7 können die Zugelemente 26 und 27 auch beispielsweise mittels eines Druckknopfes, wie er bei Keramikspülkästen üblich ist, betätigt werden. Denkbar sind auch andere Betätigungsvorrichtungen, mit denen wahlweise der Gewichtskörper 13 oder der Ventilkörper 7 angehoben werden können.As shown in FIG. 1, a float housing 4 of a drain fitting 1 is attached to a drain connector 5 in an opening 3 of a cistern 2. To actuate the drain fitting 1, an actuating device 33, shown schematically in FIG. 3, is arranged in an upper region of the cistern 2, which is not shown here. This has two tension elements 26 and 27, which are preferably pivotably mounted independently of one another on a web 28 of the cistern or the cistern cover. At one end, these elements 26 and 27 each have a button 29 and 30, respectively, which are accessible from the outside and which are generally to be operated by hand to initiate a flush. The tension element 26 is inserted at the end opposite the button 29 into an eyelet 14 of a weight body 13. When the button 29 is pressed, the weight body 13 is raised. The other pulling element 27 engages with the end opposite the button 30 into an eyelet 24 of a valve body 7, which is designed here as an overflow pipe. When the button 30 is pressed, the valve body 7 is raised. To lift the weight body 13 and the valve body 7, the pulling elements 26 and 27 can also be actuated, for example, by means of a push button, as is customary in ceramic cisterns will. Other actuating devices are also conceivable, with which the weight body 13 or the valve body 7 can optionally be raised.

Beim Anheben des Ventilkörpers 7 mit dem Zugelement 27 wird ein am unteren Körper des Ventilkörpers 7 angeordneter Teller 9 von einem Ventilsitz 10 der Ablaufgarnitur 1 angehoben. Im Spülkasten 2 vorhandenes Wasser kann dann durch Fenster 6 des Gehäuses 4 durch den Stutzen 5 in eine hier nicht gezeigte WC-Schüssel fliessen. Der angehobene Ventilkörper 7 wird durch den Schwimmer 8 in an sich bekannter Weise schwimmend gehalten, bis der Spülkasten im wesentlichen vollständig entleert ist. Durch Drücken der Taste 30 wird somit eine sogenannte Vollspülung ausgelöst. Der Gewichtskörper 13 ist hierbei unbeteiligt. Der Ventilkörper 7 ist zusammengesetzt aus einem unteren Teil 38 und einem auf diesen aufgerasteten oberen, rohrförmigen Teil 25. Der Teil 25 bildet eine Verlängerung des Ventilkörpers 7 und kann zur Anpassung an die Höhe des Spülkastens durch einen solchen mit einer anderen Länge ersetzt werden. Der Teil 25 ist mit zwei angeformten Rastzungen 25a am unteren Teil 38 lösbar aufgerastet.When lifting the valve body 7 with the tension element 27, a plate 9 arranged on the lower body of the valve body 7 is raised by a valve seat 10 of the drain fitting 1. Water present in the cistern 2 can then flow through the window 6 of the housing 4 through the nozzle 5 into a toilet bowl, not shown here. The raised valve body 7 is kept floating by the float 8 in a manner known per se until the cistern is essentially completely emptied. By pressing button 30, a so-called full flush is triggered. The weight body 13 is not involved in this. The valve body 7 is composed of a lower part 38 and an upper, tubular part 25 which is snapped onto it. The part 25 forms an extension of the valve body 7 and can be replaced by another with a different length in order to adapt to the height of the cistern. The part 25 is detachably latched on the lower part 38 with two molded-on latching tongues 25a.

Zur Auslösung einer Teilspülung wird die Taste 29 betätigt und damit der Gewichtskörper 13 angehoben. Dieser Körper 13 ist an seinem unteren Ende mit angeformten Stelzen 17 auf einem Deckel 12 des Gehäuses 4 abgestützt und am Ventilkörper 7 verschieblich geführt. Ein oben offener Behälter 16 ist mit Wasser 34 gefüllt, welches bei teilweise geleertem Spülkasten ein zusätzliches Gewicht bildet. Unterhalb des Behälters 16 sind die genannten Stelzen 17 angeformt, die im Abstand zueinander gegenüberliegen und nach unten ragen. Wie die Figuren 5 und 7 zeigen, ist an den Stelzen 17 jeweils eine querverlaufende Wandung 17a angeformt, welche die Stelzen 17 verstärken und den Gewichtskörper 13 am Ventilrohr 7 stabilisieren. Ein nach unten versetzter Deckel 12, der mit einer Rastverbindung 31 am Gehäuse 4 drehbar befestigt ist, trägt den Gewichtskörper 13, der auf einer Oberseite 12a dieses Teils 12 abgestellt ist.To trigger a partial rinse, the button 29 is actuated and the weight body 13 is raised. This body 13 is supported at its lower end with molded-on stilts 17 on a cover 12 of the housing 4 and is displaceably guided on the valve body 7. A container 16 open at the top is filled with water 34, which is partially emptied Cistern forms an additional weight. Below the container 16, the above-mentioned stilts 17 are formed, which are opposite one another at a distance and project downwards. As FIGS. 5 and 7 show, a transverse wall 17a is formed on the stilts 17, which reinforce the stilts 17 and stabilize the weight body 13 on the valve tube 7. A downwardly displaced cover 12, which is rotatably fastened to the housing 4 with a latching connection 31, carries the weight body 13, which is placed on an upper side 12a of this part 12.

Der Deckel 12 ist mit einer Öffnung 12b versehen, in die ein Arm 21 einer Klinke 20 eingreift. Diese Klinke 20 ist an einem in Figur 8 gezeigten Lager 18 schwenkbar gelagert und bildet ein Verbindungs- oder Schaltorgan. Die Klinke 20 ist wie ersichtlich als einarmiger Hebel ausgebildet, der an seinem oberen Ende schwenkbar gelagert ist. Eine unterhalb der Schwenkachse S angeordnete, radial nach aussen gerichtete Nase 20a ist auf die Oberseite 12a aufgesetzt und hält den Arm 21 in der in Figur 1 gezeigten Stellung. Die Klinke 20 ist lösbar in eine Rastöffnung 18a (Figur 8) einer Stelze 17 eingerastet.The cover 12 is provided with an opening 12b into which an arm 21 of a pawl 20 engages. This pawl 20 is pivotally mounted on a bearing 18 shown in Figure 8 and forms a connection or switching element. As can be seen, the pawl 20 is designed as a one-armed lever which is pivotably mounted at its upper end. A radially outwardly directed nose 20a arranged below the pivot axis S is placed on the top 12a and holds the arm 21 in the position shown in FIG. The pawl 20 is detachably engaged in a latching opening 18a (FIG. 8) of a stilt 17.

Wird zur Auslösung einer Teilspülung der Gewichtskörper 13 angehoben, so wird gleichzeitig der Ventilkörper 7 durch die Anlage wenigstens eines am Ventilkörper 7 angeformten Steges 23 an der seitlich vorstehenden Unterseite 25b einer Rastzunge 25a gleichzeitig ebenfalls angehoben. Die etwa am unteren Ende des Gewichtskörpers 13 angebrachte Klinke 20 wird gleichzeitig vom Deckel 12 abgehoben, wobei ein Rand 12c mit dem Arm 21 in Eingriff kommt und dieser den Arm 21 in Richtung des Pfeils 36 nach innen zum Ventilkörper 7 hin verschwenkt. Ein Absatz 22 des Arms 21 wird dadurch radial nach innen in eine Position bewegt, in welcher dieser über einer nach aussen ragenden Schulter 23 liegt. Dies ist die stabile Lage der Klinke 20, die bei angehobenem Gewichtskörper 13 beibehalten wird. Wie bei einer Vollspülung wird der Ventilteller 9 vom Ventilsitz 10 abgehoben und damit die Spülung ausgelöst. Durch den Schwimmer 8 wird wiederum am Ventilkörper 7 eine Auftriebskraft ausgeübt. Der Gewichtskörper 13 wird bei sinkendem Spülwasserniveau 37 zunehmend schwerer. Durch die an der Schulter 23 aufliegende Klinke 20 lastet das zunehmend grösser werdende Gewicht des Gewichtskörpers 13 auf dem Ventilkörper 7. Der Gewichtskörper 13 ist so ausgebildet, dass er nach einer vergleichsweise kurzen Zeit nach Auslösung der Spülung die Auftriebskraft des Schwimmers 8 überwindet und den Ventilkörper 7 vor der vollständigen Entleerung des Spülkastens 2 auf den Ventilsitz 10 zwingt und damit die Spülung unterbricht. Bei dieser Schliessbewegung trifft die Nase 20a der Klinke 20 auf die Fläche 12a auf und verschwenkt den Arm 21 wieder in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Position, in welcher der Absatz 22 sich radial neben der Schulter 23 befindet und somit der Ventilkörper 7 zur Auslösung einer Vollspülung ohne Gewichtskörper 13 angehoben werden kann. Nach Beendigung der Spülung wird der Spülkasten in bekannter Weise durch ein hier nicht gezeigtes Einlaufventil wieder auf das in Figur 1 angedeutete Niveau 37 aufgefüllt. Die Spüleinrichtung ist damit für eine wahlweise Teil- oder Vollspülung wieder bereit.If the weight body 13 is raised in order to trigger a partial flushing, the valve body 7 is simultaneously raised by the abutment of at least one web 23 formed on the valve body 7 on the laterally projecting underside 25b of a latching tongue 25a. The pawl 20 attached approximately at the lower end of the weight body 13 is lifted off the cover 12 at the same time, an edge 12c engaging the arm 21 and this pivoting the arm 21 in the direction of the arrow 36 inwards towards the valve body 7. A shoulder 22 of the arm 21 is thereby moved radially inwards into a position in which it lies over an outwardly projecting shoulder 23. This is the stable position of the pawl 20, which is maintained when the weight body 13 is raised. As with a full flush, the valve plate 9 is lifted off the valve seat 10 and the flush is triggered. The float 8 in turn exerts a buoyancy force on the valve body 7. The weight body 13 becomes increasingly heavier with sinking rinse water level 37. Due to the pawl 20 resting on the shoulder 23, the weight of the weight body 13, which is becoming increasingly larger, is loaded on the valve body 7. The weight body 13 is designed such that it overcomes the buoyancy of the float 8 and the valve body after a comparatively short time after the flush has been triggered 7 forces onto the valve seat 10 before the cistern 2 is completely emptied, thus interrupting the flushing. During this closing movement, the nose 20a of the pawl 20 strikes the surface 12a and pivots the arm 21 back into the position shown in FIG. 1, in which the shoulder 22 is located radially next to the shoulder 23 and thus the valve body 7 for triggering a full flush can be raised without weight body 13. After the flushing has ended, the cistern is refilled in a known manner to a level 37 indicated in FIG. 1 by an inlet valve (not shown here). The rinsing device is ready for an optional partial or full flush.

Die Ausführung nach Figur 2 ist ähnlich wie diejenige gemäss Figur 1 aufgebaut und funktioniert auch ähnlich. Sie ist jedoch weniger hoch und für einen Aufputz-Spülkasten vorgesehen. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung kann gleich wie die in Figur 3 gezeigte Vorrichtung 33 ausgebildet sein. Das Zugelement 26 ist dann mit einem Gewichtskörper 113 verbunden, an dem ein nach oben ragender Arm 115 angeformt ist. Über einem Behälter 116, der sich bei gefülltem Spülkasten 102 unterhalb des Spülwasserniveaus 37 befindet, ist ein Steg 141 angeformt, der an einem vorstehenden Ansatz 140 eines Ventilkörpers 107 einen Anschlag bildet. Beim Anheben des Gewichtskörpers 113 mit dem Zugelement 26 wird damit gleichzeitig der Ventilkörper 107 angehoben. Die an einer Oberseite 111a eines Deckels 111 aufliegende Nase 120a einer Klinke 120 wird vom Deckel 111 abgehoben, wonach der Arm 121 in Richtung des Pfeiles 136 verschwenkt wird und dieser den Gewichtskörper 113 bei angehobenem Ventilkörper 107 an einer Schulter 123 abstützt. Die Schulter 123 ist wie bei der Ausführung gemäss Figur 1 innerhalb des Gehäuses 104 angeordnet. Der Deckel 111 ist wie der Deckel 12 mit einer Rastvorrichtung 131 am Gehäuse 104 drehbar befestigt. Die Rastvorrichtung 131 ist so ausgebildet, dass der Deckel 111 auf dem Gehäuse 104 frei drehbar ist. Dies gilt auch für den Deckel 12. Der Gewichtskörper 113 ist somit in jeder Position um die Achse A des Ventilkörpers 107 drehbar und kann dadurch genau auf das Zugelement 26 ausgerichtet werden. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung, bei welcher die Funktion des Steges 141 durch die Klinke 120 übernommen wird. Ebenfalls denkbar ist eine Ausführung, bei der ein weiteres Schaltelement vorgesehen ist, welches die Funktion des Steges 141 übernimmt. Wie ersichtlich ist der Ventilkörper 107 weitgehend wie üblich ausgebildet und nicht durch irgendwelche Schaltelemente oder sonstige Teile, welche sein Gewicht erhöhen würden belastet. Der Auftrieb des Schwimmers 108 kann damit minimal und das Schwimmergehäuse 104 entsprechend schlank ausgebildet sein. Dies ist insbesondere für eng gebaute Unterputz-Spülkästen wesentlich.The embodiment according to FIG. 2 is constructed similarly to that according to FIG. 1 and also functions in a similar way. However, it is less high and is intended for a surface-mounted cistern. The actuating device can be designed in the same way as the device 33 shown in FIG. The tension element 26 is then connected to a weight body 113, on which an arm 115 projecting upwards is formed. A web 141 is formed above a container 116, which is located below the flushing water level 37 when the cistern 102 is full, and forms a stop on a protruding attachment 140 of a valve body 107. When lifting the weight body 113 with the tension element 26, the valve body 107 is thus raised at the same time. The nose 120a of a pawl 120 resting on an upper side 111a of a cover 111 is lifted off the cover 111, after which the arm 121 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow 136 and this supports the weight body 113 on a shoulder 123 when the valve body 107 is raised. As in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the shoulder 123 is arranged inside the housing 104. The cover 111, like the cover 12, is rotatably attached to the housing 104 with a latching device 131. The latching device 131 is designed such that the cover 111 can be freely rotated on the housing 104. This also applies to the cover 12. The weight body 113 can thus be rotated about the axis A of the valve body 107 in any position and can thus be aligned precisely with the tension element 26 will. An embodiment is also conceivable in which the function of the web 141 is taken over by the pawl 120. An embodiment is also conceivable in which a further switching element is provided, which takes over the function of the web 141. As can be seen, the valve body 107 is largely constructed as usual and is not burdened by any switching elements or other parts which would increase its weight. The buoyancy of the float 108 can thus be minimal and the float housing 104 can be made correspondingly slim. This is particularly important for narrow built-in concealed cisterns.
