Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pantograph device for actuating flushing valves in particular of the type for inset water-storage cisterns for sanitary installations and the like.
  • the current devices for controlled operation of the flushing valve usually do not include the possibility of a simple, but extensive adjustment, depthwise and heightwise, of the lever mechanisms which are located between the actuating lever or pushbutton, normally positioned visibly in a position outside the wall, and the valve operating tube inside the cistern and the wall itself; on the contrary, it is only possible to perform adjustments which, normally, do not allow recovery, in all cases, of the differences in distance between the visible wall surface and the vertically movable tube which actuates the flushing valve, differences which are due mainly to the different thicknesses of the walls containing the tank itself.
  • the known actuating devices In the cases, therefore, of considerable differences in the thickness of the wall in front of the tank, the known actuating devices must either be constructed with suitable dimensions or adapted by means of contrivances and substitute parts which do not always ensure the required functioning of the mechanisms.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is that of providing an actuating device for said flushing valves of inset cisterns, designed to overcome the applicational limitations of the known devices and in particular designed to be easily and rapidly adaptable, during installation, to the various distances existing between the front surface of the wall which encloses the cistern and the associated actuating tube of the flushing valve.
  • an object of the invention to provide an actuating device of the type indicated above, designed to allow said adjustments without the use of substitute parts, with varying dimensions, depending on the thickness of the wall in front of the tank, and designed to allow said adjustments to be performed automatically without the use of tools, even by non-specialized personnel, with obvious advantages both of a practical and economic nature.
  • Another object of the invention is that of providing an actuating device for said flushing valves which is able to allow the interruption, at any desired moment, of the flushing flow while maintaining substantially the same pressure for actuation of the operating lever or pushbutton, whatever the thickness of the wall in front of the tank.
  • a device for actuating the flushing valves of water-closet cisterns inset in a wall which comprises a pantograph tramsmission group consisting of a pair of substantially parallel levers, the opposite ends of which are respectively hinged on corresponding pins integral with a frame, fixed to the wall, and on pins integral with an anchor-piece sliding translatably on an element for fastening to the flushing closing tube, there also being provided a bidirectional operating plate for the device effecting opening and/or controlled interruption of the flushing system.
  • the inset cistern is formed by a shaped box 1 inserted into the wall 2 and provided on the bottom with a flushing hole (not shown) which may be opened/closed by means of raising/lowering of a vertical tube 3 which, being open at the top, may also function as an overflow in the event of accidental filling of the cistern beyond the preset level.
  • the box 1 has at the top a front opening 1a designed to allow access to the box itself as well as insertion of the actuating device described below.
  • Said device comprises a support frame 4 which can be mounted on the wall 2 in the region of the opening 2a of the wall itself corresponding to the opening 1a of the cistern 1.
  • Said frame 4 has hinged on it, by means of a pin 5a, an operating plate 5 which can be made to rotate by the user both in the clockwise and anti-clockwise direction.
  • said operating plate of the device is formed by at least one rotating part 5b centrally arranged between two fixed side parts 5c.
  • the frame 4 has moreover fixed to it two additional pins 6a and 7a on which the corresponding ends of a first lever 6 and a second lever 7 are hinged, the opposite ends of which are hinged on respective pins 6b and 7b integral with an anchor-piece 8, the base of which has a dovetail seat 8a designed to be coupled with a corresponding guide 9a of an element 9 for attachment to the top end 3a of the tube 3.
  • Said lever 7 has moreover an end outside the cistern shaped in the manner of a "C" with horizontal arms of different length so as to cooperate with the operating plate 5 for opening or closing the flushing system, respectively.
  • Figures 6 and 7 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention in which the anchor-piece 108 has a shortened base provided with a horizontal seat 108a into which can be inserted a rod 10 which has formed inside it a groove 10a with a cross-section such that it can be combined with the guide 9a of the element 9 for attachment to the tube 3.
  • the rod 10 is therefore translatable horizontally with respect to the element 9 at the time of prior adjustment determined by the thickness of the wall, but remains at a standstill when flushing is actuated.
  • the anchor-piece 108 is movable in both directions with respect to the end of the rod 10 inserted into the seat 108a so as to allow recovery of the distance lost during the rotational movement of the lever 7.
  • the actuating device may be operated by the user in both directions - clockwise and anti-clockwise - so as to cause the corresponding opening of the flushing system and closing thereof without waiting for the latter to occur automatically as a result of gravity when the level of the water inside the cistern falls.
  • the user may perform an operation which interrupts flushing, without waiting for total emptying of the cistern, thus making it possible to achieve a considerable saving in water consumption.
