Description

SUPPORT DE BATONNET SANITAIRE POUR CUVETTE SANITAIRE SANITARY STICK HOLDER FOR SANITARY BOWL
Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention
La présente invention se rapporte à un support de bâtonnet sanitaire destine à être appliqué à une cuvette sanitaire, en particulier de siège de W.-C.The present invention relates to a sanitary stick support intended to be applied to a sanitary bowl, in particular a toilet seat.
Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnological background
Des supports de ce type sont connus. Cependant, ils présentent généralement comme inconvénient d'être standards, sans possibilité d'adaptation à la cuvette à laquelle ils sont destinés. Par conséquent, il n'est généralement pas possible d'adapter le support à 1 ' emplacement le plus approprié de la cuvette qui est déterminé en pratique par l'endroit où coule le plus d'eau, notamment lorsqu'on tire la chasse, c'est-à-dire généralement à l'arrière de la cuvette. En effet, c'est l'eau chassée qui active le bâtonnet sanitaire en libérant dans celui-ci les suostances nettoyantes, le cas échéant désinfectantes et oαorifères ou parfumées.Supports of this type are known. However, they generally have the disadvantage of being standard, without the possibility of adaptation to the bowl for which they are intended. Consequently, it is generally not possible to adapt the support to the most suitable location of the bowl, which is determined in practice by the place where the most water flows, in particular when flushing, that is to say generally at the back of the bowl. Indeed, it is the expelled water which activates the sanitary stick by releasing in it the cleaning substances, if necessary disinfecting and ooriferous or scented.
C'est ainsi que le document FR-2470205 propose un distributeur de produit actif pour cuvette de W.-C. se composant d'un réservoir à fixer dans la cuvette contenant le produit actif visant à résoudre le problème d'obtention d'une meilleure fc . r :ure de matière active indépendante de la pression d'eau, les moyens indiqués consistant notamment à prévoir plusieurs corps actifs dans le réservoir. En outre, les moyens proposés comportent également un tube de trop plein ayant la forme d'un siphon pour vider le bac avec agencement d' entretoises pour placer les ccrps actifs à distance du fond du réservoir. Un etrier de fixation de l'ensemble à la cuvette est également prévu et permet un positionnement déterminé de l'ensemble à l'intérieur de la cuvette. Cependant, le distributeur proposé n'offre pas la possibilité d'adapter le distributeur a l'emplacement le plus approprié αe la cuvette et n'offre par conséquent pas de solution satisfaisante au problème indiqué ci-dessus concernant l'adaptation du support quant à son emplacement dans la cuvette.Thus document FR-2470205 proposes an active product dispenser for toilet bowl consisting of a reservoir to be fixed in the bowl containing the active product aimed at solving the problem of obtaining a best fc. r: ure of active material independent of the water pressure, the indicated means consisting in particular of providing several active bodies in the reservoir. In addition, the means proposed also include an overflow tube having the form of a siphon to empty the tank with arrangement of spacers to place the active ccrps away from the bottom of the tank. A bracket for fixing the assembly to the bowl is also provided and allows determined positioning of the assembly inside the bowl. However, the proposed dispenser does not offer the possibility of adapting the dispenser to the most appropriate location for the bowl and therefore does not offer a satisfactory solution to the problem indicated above concerning the adaptation of the support as regards its location in the bowl.
Il en va sensiblement de même avec le document FR- 2424374 lequel concerne un dispositif pour la coloration de l'eau de rinçage des W.-C. comportant un récipient destiné à contenir un bloc colorant. Là non plus, aucune solution n'est proposée au problème indiqué ci-dessus. Tout au plus, le document précité ne fournit-il qu'une indication quant à la possibilité de positionnement du dispositif par rapport à la cuvette.It is substantially the same with document FR-2424374 which relates to a device for coloring the rinsing water of toilets comprising a container intended to contain a coloring block. Here again, no solution is proposed to the problem indicated above. At most, the aforementioned document provides only an indication as to the possibility of positioning the device relative to the bowl.
Le document DE-4323692 quant à lui pose en revanche bien le problème de réglage avec possibilité d' adaptation a la— c-uv→mi→→te du support sanitaire en proposant un moyen d'application du support sanitaire sous forme—e crochet double où l'objet principal consiste cependant à fournir une adaptation non étagée et sans coulisseau. L'effet de réglage est obtenu ici par l'élasticité avec effet ressort du double crochet de suspension. Cependant, ainsi qu'il est bien connu, l'effet ressort du double crochet s'atténuera avec 1 e tcmrc ' cause d'une fatigue du matériau. C'est la pretension élastique propre au matériau qui maintient le support de bâtonnet dans la position souhaitée. En outre, la réalisation avec réglage par crochet élastique vise essentiellement à permettre une fabrication en une seule pièce.Document DE-4323692, on the other hand, clearly poses the problem of adjustment with the possibility of adaptation to the— c-uv → mi →→ te of the sanitary support by proposing a means of applying the sanitary support in the form of a hook double where the main object is however to provide an unstaged adaptation and without slide. The adjustment effect is obtained here by the elasticity with spring effect of the double suspension hook. However, as is well known, the spring effect of the double hook subsides with tcmr 1 e c 'due to material fatigue. It is the elastic pretension specific to the material which keeps the rod support in the desired position. In addition, the realization with adjustment by elastic hook aims essentially at allow one-piece manufacturing.
Exposé de l'inventionStatement of the invention
La présente invention a pour but d'apporter une solution aux problèmes indiqués ci-dessus, notamment quant à la possibilité d'adaptation par une voie plus classique. Ainsi, dans le support de bâtonnet sanitaire suivant l'invention, il est proposé un moyen d'application du support à ladite cuvette, un élément formant étui pour le bâtonnet précité et un moyen de liaison pour rendre solidaires ledit moyen d'application et l'étui précité, lequel est formé par un oeilleton. Lesdits moyens de liaison coopèrent avec des moyens de réglage de la hauteur de façon à permettre le réglage de la hauteur du support, par rapport à ladite cuvette.The present invention aims to provide a solution to the problems indicated above, in particular as to the possibility of adaptation by a more conventional route. Thus, in the sanitary stick support according to the invention, there is provided a means of applying the support to said bowl, a case-forming element for the aforementioned stick and a connecting means for making said application means and the above case, which is formed by an eyecup. Said connecting means cooperate with means for adjusting the height so as to allow the height of the support to be adjusted relative to said bowl.
Grâce à l'invention, il est donc possible d'agencer le support juste sous le rebord de la cuvette de façon à récolter un flux d'eau maximum lorsque la chasse est tirée. Le point d'application du support à la cuvette étant déterminé par l'endroit où le flux d'eau le plus important est libéré et le rebord lui-même de la cuvette présentant généralement également une hauteur variable sur le pourtour de la cuvette, la possibilité de réglage en hauteur offerte par le support selon l'invention s'avère particulièrement avantageuse. Par l'optimisation du contact de l'eau avec le bâtonnet sanitaire, on obtient une efficacité du support précité considérablement renforcée.Thanks to the invention, it is therefore possible to arrange the support just under the rim of the bowl so as to collect a maximum flow of water when the flush is drawn. The point of application of the support to the bowl being determined by the place where the greatest flow of water is released and the rim itself of the bowl generally also having a variable height around the periphery of the bowl, the possibility of height adjustment offered by the support according to the invention proves to be particularly advantageous. By optimizing the contact of water with the sanitary stick, the efficiency of the aforementioned support is considerably increased.
De plus, la possibilité de réglage e hauteur offerte selon l'invention est obtenue directement par un agencement approprié des moyens de liaison permettant un réglage en hauteur effectif et non pas seulement un positionnement du support de bâtonnet comme dans les deux documents français précités.In addition, the possibility of height adjustment offered according to the invention is obtained directly by an appropriate arrangement of the connecting means allowing an effective height adjustment and not only a positioning of the rod support as in the two aforementioned French documents.
Par ailleurs, la présente invention permet de ne pas faire dépendre le réglage de la hauteur de l'élasticité des moyens d'applications désignes comme crochets de suspension dans le dernier document cité. Ceci a pour avantage de préserver la faculté de réglage dans le temps, même après un usage intensif. Ainsi, grâce a l'invention, on obtient un moyen de réglage purement mécanique lequel est indépendant des propriétés de matières qui sont susceptibles de s'altérer avec le temps, plus particulièrement lorsque les matières en question peuvent entrer en contact avec d' autres matières chimiques comme c'est le cas ici avec les bâtonnets sanitaires comprenant des agents actifs désinfectants notamment. En outre, l'on est confronte a une contrainte de réalisation du crochet qui doit présenter une résistance suffisante à la cassure. A force d'utiliser l'élasticité du crochet pour le réglage et solliciter ainsi considérablement le crochet, il s'avère préférable de déplacer la faculté de réglage en hauteur sur la patte de réglage elle-même avec réglage mécanique de façon à ne solliciter le crochet qu'en cas de désengagement du support tout entiei de la cuvette.Furthermore, the present invention makes it possible not to make the adjustment of the height of the elasticity depend on the means of application designated as suspension hooks in the last document cited. This has the advantage of preserving the ability to adjust over time, even after intensive use. Thus, thanks to the invention, a purely mechanical adjustment means is obtained which is independent of the properties of materials which are liable to deteriorate over time, more particularly when the materials in question can come into contact with other materials. chemical as is the case here with sanitary sticks including active disinfectant agents. In addition, we are faced with a constraint in producing the hook which must have sufficient resistance to breakage. By dint of using the elasticity of the hook for the adjustment and thus requesting the hook considerably, it is preferable to move the height adjustment faculty on the adjustment tab itself with mechanical adjustment so as not to stress the hook only in case of disengagement of the entire support from the bowl.
De plus, avec un enroulement simple en tout, c'est-à- dire a un tour, comme proposé dans le dernier document cité, on n'est pas à l'abri d'un décrochage accidentel du support de la cuvette.In addition, with a single winding in all, that is to say one turn, as proposed in the last cited document, one is not immune from an accidental stalling of the support of the bowl.
° On un mode de réalisation avantagée" < support selon l'invention, le moyen de réglage de la hauteur est forme par une patte de réglage présentant une surface nervurée, qui par la présence de nombreuses nervures permet la sélection d'un grand nombre de hauteurs différentes avec positionnement fiable pour chaque hauteur sélectionnée. Plus particulièrement, lesdites nervures présentent une allure sensiblement symétrique, ce qui permet notamment de faire varier la hauteur dans les deux sens et a maintes reprises.° There is an advantageous embodiment "<support according to the invention, the height adjustment means is formed by an adjustment tab having a ribbed surface, which by the presence of numerous ribs allows the selection of a large number of Heights different with reliable positioning for each height selected. More particularly, said ribs have a substantially symmetrical appearance, which in particular makes it possible to vary the height in both directions and repeatedly.
Dans un mode de réalisation plus avantageux de l'invention, le moyen d'application est formé par un crochet agencé pour être accroché au rebord de la cuvette. En outre, la rigidité de la liaison crochet étui permet, grâce a l' élasticité du crochet, de maintenir le bord latéral de l'étui contre la cuvette. Plus particulièrement, le crochet est renforcé par une nervure s 'étendant longitudmalement sur celui-ci et conférant une bonne rigidité au crochet, ce qui a pour effet d'améliorer le serrage du support contre le rebord de la cuvette.In a more advantageous embodiment of the invention, the application means is formed by a hook arranged to be hung on the rim of the bowl. In addition, the rigidity of the holster hook connection allows, thanks to the elasticity of the hook, to maintain the lateral edge of the holster against the bowl. More particularly, the hook is reinforced by a rib extending longitudinally thereon and giving good rigidity to the hook, which has the effect of improving the tightening of the support against the rim of the bowl.
La nervure longitudinale précitée est plus avantageusement encore constituée d'un élément élastique supplémentaire faisant ressort et conférant une excellente élasticité au crochet. Grâce à cette élasticité renforcée, une fixation particulièrement ferme du crochet à l'emplacement de cuvette sélectionné peut être obtenue sans que le support puisse encore être amené à bouger, notamment par un déplacement latéral dû à la puissance du jet d'eau, même après une utilisation prolongée avec le passage répété et fréquent de flux d'eau exerçant une force sur celui-ci.The aforementioned longitudinal rib is more advantageously made up of an additional elastic element which acts as a spring and gives excellent elasticity to the hook. Thanks to this reinforced elasticity, a particularly firm fixing of the hook to the selected bowl location can be obtained without the support being able to move further, in particular by lateral displacement due to the power of the water jet, even after prolonged use with the repeated and frequent passage of water flows exerting a force on it.
Pnur améliorer encore le serrage du croche*- contre le rebord de la cuvette, le crochet présente un enroulement sur au moins un tour de 360° assurant ainsi un effet ressort supplémentaire. En outre, grâce au bon serrage, tout risque d'évacuation involontaire du support par la cuvette s'en trouve pratiquement écarté, ce qui supprime pratiquement toute possibilité de bouchage des conduits d'eau en aval de la cuvette par le support sanitaire.To further improve the grip of the hook * - against the rim of the bowl, the hook has a winding over at least one 360 ° turn thus ensuring an additional spring effect. In addition, thanks to the correct tightening, any risk of involuntary evacuation of the support by the bowl is practically separated from it, which virtually eliminates any possibility of clogging of the water conduits downstream of the bowl by the sanitary support.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux supplémentaire de l'invention, une ouverture d'extrémité est prévue dans l'étui permettant ainsi une recharge particulièrement commode du bâtonnet sanitaire dans le support. En effet, il suffit d'introduire le nouveau bâtonnet après épuisement de l'ancien sans qu'aucune manipulation du support par l'utilisateur ne soit requise, ce type de manipulation s 'avérant assez désagréable pour celui-ci.According to an additional advantageous embodiment of the invention, an end opening is provided in the case thus allowing a particularly convenient refill of the sanitary stick in the support. Indeed, it suffices to introduce the new stick after the old one has been used up without any manipulation of the support by the user being required, this type of manipulation being quite unpleasant for the latter.
Plus avantageusement encore, au moins un ergot antiretour est prévu à hauteur de ladite ouverture d'extrémité, chacun desquels assure une retenue du bâtonnet sanitaire à l'intérieur de l'étui, ce qui évite une évacuation accidentelle du bâtonnet.Even more advantageously, at least one non-return lug is provided at the height of said end opening, each of which ensures that the sanitary stick is retained inside the case, which avoids accidental evacuation of the stick.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, l'étui du support présente à sa surface supérieure tournée vers le moyen d'application de larges cuv≈i Lux.'es occupant une partie substantielle de ladite surface supérieure de façon à permettre une -pénétration aussi large que possible de l'eau provenant de l'écoulement à l'intérieur de l'étui.In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support case has at its upper surface facing the means of application of large cuv≈i Lux.'es occupying a substantial part of said upper surface so as to allow as wide a penetration as possible of the water coming from the flow inside the case.
Plus avantageusement, ladite surface supérieure présente un profil sensiblement en cuvette de façon à former une surfr"-*e collectrice d'eau renforçant encore l'effet précité. En effet, la circulation d'eau sur le bâtonnet sanitaire s'en trouve augmentée et par conséquent le bâtonnet d'autant plus activé. Plus avantageusement encore, la surface latérale de l'étui présente un profil épousant sensiblement la forme de la cuvette, de préférence courbe, augmentant encore l'effet indiqué ci-dessus. En outre, la largeur de l'étui est avantageusement supérieure à la profondeur du rebord de la plupart des cuvettes disponibles dans le commerce, soit plus particulièrement maximum 30 mm, ce qui assure une bonne application de l'arête latérale de l'étui contre la paroi de la cuvette.More advantageously, said upper surface has a profile substantially in a bowl so as to form a surfr "- * e water collector further reinforcing the aforementioned effect. Indeed, the circulation of water on the sanitary stick is increased and therefore the stick all the more activated. Even more advantageously, the lateral surface of the case has a profile substantially matching the shape of the bowl, preferably curved, further increasing the effect indicated above. In addition, the width of the case is advantageously greater than the depth of the rim of most commercially available bowls, more particularly maximum 30 mm, which ensures good application of the lateral edge of the case against the wall of the bowl.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la partie inférieure formant fond de l'étui est agencée suivant une zone rétrécie formant goulotte, pour assurer une présence permanente d'une réserve d'eau résiduelle de nature à empêcher le séchage du bâtonnet sanitaire entre deux chasses.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lower part forming the bottom of the case is arranged in a narrowed zone forming a chute, to ensure a permanent presence of a reserve of residual water such as to prevent drying of the stick sanitary between two hunts.
Plus particulièrement, la charnière du plan de joint et l'interstice qui lui est associé sont décalés par rapport au point bas du support, le plan de joint formant avantageusement un angle avec l'horizontale compris entre 150 et 170°, de préférence approximativement 160°. La réalisation du plan de joint formant angle permet d'éviter lors de la fabrication, l'utilisation de ce que l'on appelle des "tiroirs" permettant une réduction sensible du coût des moules de fabrication et des pièces. Cet avantage est également obtenu grâce au fait que le crochet est détachable de l'étui, celui-ci étant fabriqué séparément de l'étui.More particularly, the hinge of the joint plane and the gap associated therewith are offset with respect to the low point of the support, the joint plane advantageously forming an angle with the horizontal of between 150 and 170 °, preferably approximately 160 °. The realization of the joint plane forming an angle makes it possible to avoid, during manufacture, the use of so-called "drawers" allowing a significant reduction in the cost of manufacturing molds and parts. This advantage is also obtained thanks to the fact that the hook is detachable from the case, the latter being manufactured separately from the case.
Selon un av re aspect de base de l'invention, le s^ ort lui-même est réalisé en un matériau parfumé. Ainsi, il est obtenu une diffusion de parfum pratiquement constante dans le temps, ce qui compense la quasi- absence de diffusion de parfum du bâtonnet en fin de vie de celui-ci. De plus, on peut également obtenir ainsi une séparation physique du parfum des autres matières actives du bâtonnet, ces dernières pouvant être uniquement destinées à contenir des matières désinfectantes, telles que du chlore actif qui aurait un effet négatif sur la qualité du parfum contenu dans le bâtonnet. Par contre, cet effet négatif est pratiquement absent lorsque c'est le support lui-même qui est parfumé. Ainsi, de façon particulièrement avantageuse, l'effet parfumant de l'ensemble support et bâtonnet est préservé grâce à l'invention, le bâtonnet quant à lui pouvant être constitue simplement d'une matière à base désinfectante, notamment d'un agent germicide non parfumé.According to another basic aspect of the invention, the s ^ ort itself is made of a scented material. Thus, an almost constant diffusion of perfume over time is obtained, which compensates for the almost absence of diffusion of perfume from the stick at the end of its life. of it. In addition, it is also thus possible to obtain a physical separation of the perfume from the other active materials of the stick, the latter possibly being solely intended to contain disinfectant materials, such as active chlorine which would have a negative effect on the quality of the perfume contained in the rod. On the other hand, this negative effect is practically absent when it is the support itself which is scented. Thus, in a particularly advantageous manner, the perfuming effect of the support and stick assembly is preserved thanks to the invention, the stick, for its part, may simply consist of a material with a disinfecting base, in particular of a non-germicidal agent. fragrant.
Dans un mode de réalisation alternatif de l'invention, tant la matière de l'étui que le bâtonnet sont parfumés, le cas échéant avec des senteurs différentes, permettant ainsi d'obtenir une intensité de parfum sensiblement plus élevée avec possibilité d'obtention d'un effet de bouquet subtil de parfums.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, both the material of the case and the stick are scented, if necessary with different scents, thus making it possible to obtain a substantially higher perfume intensity with the possibility of obtaining '' a subtle bouquet effect of perfumes.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation très avantageux de l'invention, l'étui d'une part et le moyen d'application d'autre part sont réalisés chacun en matières plastiques différentes, et notamment le premier en plastique à parfumer présentant une élasticité inférieure a celle du second dont l'élasticité plus grande confère au moyen d'application un effet ressort anti-rupture. Ceci permet de réaliser d'une part l'étui en une matière plastique absorbant ' :e le parfum qui ne convient pas en re'.^a e pour la réalisation du crochet étant donne la faible élasticité de telles matières plastiques. Le crochet quant à lui n'étant pratiquement pas en contact avec l'eau, il peut tout aussi bien être réalise en une matière plastique à forte élasticité, laquelle présente intrinsèquement une très faible capacité à être parfumée .In another very advantageous embodiment of the invention, the case on the one hand and the application means on the other hand are each made of different plastics, and in particular the first plastic to be perfumed having a lower elasticity to that of the second, whose greater elasticity gives the application means an anti-breaking spring effect. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to produce the case in an absorbent plastic material: e fragrance which is not suitable in re. ^ ae for the realization of the hook being given the low elasticity of such plastics. As the hook is practically not in contact with water, it can just as easily be made in one plastic material with high elasticity, which intrinsically has a very low capacity to be scented.
Cependant, la possibilité indiquée ci-dessus d'utiliser deux matières plastiques différentes peut avoir d' autres applications que celles incluant le parfumage puisque, de façon plus générale, les propriétés demandées au crochet peuvent être différentes de celles demandées à l'étui. Ainsi, par exemple, le crochet peut être réalisé en une matière plastique résistant au "stress-cracking" , c'est-à-dire à une cassure spontanée due à l'action combinée de la tension élastique et de la substance chimique provenant du bâtonnet, tandis que l'étui peut être réalisé en un plastique plus dur avec un meilleur effet de clipsage pour éviter qu'il ne s'ouvre.However, the possibility indicated above of using two different plastic materials may have other applications than those including perfuming since, more generally, the properties requested for the hook may be different from those requested for the case. Thus, for example, the hook can be made of a plastic material resistant to "stress-cracking", that is to say to a spontaneous breakage due to the combined action of elastic tension and of the chemical substance coming from the stick, while the case can be made of a harder plastic with a better clipping effect to prevent it from opening.

DescriptionDescription
De façon générale, l'invention se rapporte à un support de bâtonnet sanitaire ou hygiénique destiné à être appliqué à une cuvette sanitaire de types divers tels que W.-C, bidet, ou analogues. Cependant, la description ci-après sera plus précisément orientée sur l'application au cas particulier d'une cuvette de siège de W.-C. à des fins de clarté.In general, the invention relates to a sanitary or hygienic stick support intended to be applied to a sanitary bowl of various types such as W.-C, bidet, or the like. However, the description below will be more specifically oriented on the application in the particular case of a toilet seat bowl for clarity.
La figure 1 illustre une vue générale d'un tel support de type corbeille 5 comprenant un élément formant étui 10 prévu pour retenir le bâtonnet sanitaire 3, un moyen d'application 20 pour appliquer le support 5 à la cuvette 1 et des moyens de liaison 30 pour rendre solidaires ledit moyen d'application 20 et l'étui 10.FIG. 1 illustrates a general view of such a basket-type support 5 comprising a case-forming element 10 provided for retaining the sanitary rod 3, an application means 20 for applying the support 5 to the bowl 1 and connecting means 30 to make said application means 20 and the case 10 integral.
L'étui 10 présente une allure allongée en accord avec celle d'un bâtonnet ou d'une brique sanitaire 3 à introduire dans celui-ci 10. Le support 5 est prévu pour"— tre aménagé à l'intérieur de la cuvette 1, de préférence aussi près que possible du rebord →\—de celle- ci, de façon à se trouver sensiblement à la source du jet d'eau libéré lorsque la chasse de W.-C. est tirée par un utilisateur. Cette localisation est privilégiée du fait que le bâtonnet 3 introduit dans le support 5 est rendu actif par le passage d'eau par celui-ci. Au ρl -→ *ande est l'interaction entre l'eau passante et le bâtonnet 3, au plus grand sera l'effet désire, notamment moussant, du bâtonnet 3. Les multiples effets pouvant ainsi être obtenus seront décrits de façon plus détaillée ci-dessous. Les moyens de liaison 30 du support 5 comprennent des moyens de réglage 35 permettant de régler la hauteur de l'étui 10 par rapport à la cuvette 1. D'un W.-C. à l'autre, les rebords de cuvette peuvent présenter des hauteurs différentes. Pour une cuvette de W,- C. donnée, le rebord 2 peut, lui aussi, varier d'un point à l'autre. En cours d'utilisation, le point d'écoulement maximal d'eau le long de la paroi de la cuvette de W.-C. peut varier suite à un entartrage progressif des conduits d'alimentation d'eau de la cuvette. Grâce à la possibilité de réglage en hauteur du support qui est ainsi obtenue, l'étui 10 peut, à tout instant, être agencé juste sous le rebord 2 de façon à récolter le flux d'eau maximum. Cela a également pour effet que l'efficacité du dispositif comprenant support et bâtonnet sanitaire se trouve nettement améliorée, même lorsque après une première installation, le support doit être déplacé suite à une variation de l'emplacement d'écoulement maximum d'eau, notamment de l'arrière de la cuvette à un autre endroit de celle-ci. A titre d'exemple on peut encore préciser la gamme de la plage de réglage de hauteur comprise entre 45 et 90 mm, de préférence entre 55 à 80 mm.The case 10 has an elongated appearance in agreement with that of a stick or of a sanitary brick 3 to be introduced into the latter 10. The support 5 is provided for "- being arranged inside the bowl 1, preferably as close as possible to the rim → \ —of the latter, so as to be substantially at the source of the jet of water released when the toilet flush is drawn by a user. the fact that the stick 3 introduced into the support 5 is made active by the passage of water through it. At ρl - → * ande is the interaction between the passing water and the stick 3, the larger will be l The desired effect, in particular foaming, of the stick 3. The multiple effects which can thus be obtained will be described in more detail below. The connecting means 30 of the support 5 comprise adjustment means 35 making it possible to adjust the height of the case 10 relative to the bowl 1. From one toilet to the other, the edges of the bowl may have different heights. For a given bowl of W, - C., the rim 2 can also vary from one point to another. During use, the maximum point of water flow along the wall of the toilet bowl may vary due to progressive scaling of the water supply pipes of the toilet bowl. Thanks to the possibility of adjusting the height of the support which is thus obtained, the case 10 can, at any time, be arranged just under the rim 2 so as to collect the maximum water flow. This also has the effect that the efficiency of the device comprising support and sanitary stick is significantly improved, even when after a first installation, the support must be moved following a variation in the location of maximum water flow, in particular from the back of the bowl to another place in the bowl. By way of example, the range of the height adjustment range between 45 and 90 mm, preferably between 55 and 80 mm, can also be specified.
Avantageusement, les moyens de réglage précités sont formés par une patte nervurée 95 coopérant avec des moyens de guidage correspondants 32. Grâce à la présence d'un grand nombre de nervures 96 ou dents 36 sur une partie substantielle de la patte 95 ou respectivement tige 37 de la crémaillère 35, un nombre important de hauteurs différentes pe''+" être sélectionné avec sécurité maximum de positionnement à la hauteur désirée par engagement de la nervure 96 adéquate dans les moyens de guidage correspondants présentant un élément en saillie correspondant tel qu'une nervure 91 ou dent correspondante 31 permettant une liaison par emboîtement ou par encliquetage. A cette fin, les dents 36 ou nervures 96 présentent entre elles un espace d'écartement minimum. Les nervures 96 présentent de préférence un profil sensiblement hémicylindrique.Advantageously, the aforementioned adjustment means are formed by a ribbed tab 95 cooperating with corresponding guide means 32. Thanks to the presence of a large number of ribs 96 or teeth 36 on a substantial part of the tab 95 or respectively rod 37 of the rack 35, a large number of different heights eg " + " be selected with maximum positioning security at the desired height by engagement of the rib 96 adequate in the corresponding guide means having a corresponding projecting element such as a rib 91 or tooth corresponding 31 allowing a connection by interlocking or snap-fastening. To this end, the teeth 36 or ribs 96 have a minimum space between them. The ribs 96 preferably have a substantially semi-cylindrical profile.
Alternativement, les moyens de réglage sont formés par une crémaillère 35 présentant un profil denté 36.Alternatively, the adjustment means are formed by a rack 35 having a toothed profile 36.
Les dents présentent de préférence un sommet aplati procurant un effet de glissière dans sa partie plate permettant une manipulation plus commode lors de l'ajustage de la hauteur désirée par le coulissement selon F de la crémaillère 35. Leur allure est par exemple sensiblement en coupe triangulaire tronquée avec angle de sommet β compris entre 50 et 90°, de préférence entre 60 et 80°. Ainsi, le sommet tronqué 56 de chaque dent 36 permet un engagement sûr entre celles-ci 36 de l'élément saillant 31 correspondant du moyen de guidage 32.The teeth preferably have a flattened top providing a sliding effect in its flat part allowing more convenient handling when adjusting the desired height by sliding the rack 35 along F. Their appearance is for example substantially in triangular section truncated with apex angle β between 50 and 90 °, preferably between 60 and 80 °. Thus, the truncated top 56 of each tooth 36 allows secure engagement between them 36 of the corresponding projecting element 31 of the guide means 32.
Le moyen d'application 20 quant a lui est avantageusement formé par un crochet 21 pouvant être engagé sur le rebord 2 de la cuvette 1 ainsi qu'il apparaît sur la figure 2. Avantageusement, les moyens de réglage, notamment la patte nervurée 95, font corps avec le moyen d'application, notamment le crochet 21, la patte nervurée 95 étant prévue dans le prolongement du crochet 21 à l'extrémité libre et non engagée de celui- ci 21 comme visible sur les figures 3 et 4.As for the application means 20, it is advantageously formed by a hook 21 which can be engaged on the rim 2 of the bowl 1 as it appears in FIG. 2. Advantageously, the adjustment means, in particular the ribbed tab 95, are integral with the application means, in particular the hook 21, the ribbed tab 95 being provided in the extension of the hook 21 at the free and non-engaged end of the latter 21 as visible in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Avantageusement, les moyens de guidage 32 peuvent présenter une zone de réception de la patte nervurée 95 comprenant plusieurs nervures 91 successives destinées à coopérer efficacement avec les nervures 96 de façon à augmenter la surface de liaison entre le crochet et 1 ' étui .Advantageously, the guide means 32 may have a zone for receiving the ribbed tab 95 comprising several successive ribs 91 intended to cooperate effectively with the ribs 96 so as to increase the connection surface between the hook and the case.
Le crochet 21 présente avantageusement au moins sur une partie de celui-ci une nervure de renforcement 22 s ' étendant longitudinalement et sensiblement au milieu de celui-ci. La nervure longitudinale 22 constitue avantageusement un élément élastique supplémentaire faisant ressort de façon à augmenter l'élasticité indiquée par H du crochet 21. Cela augmente les possibilités de désengagement du support par rapport à la cuvette sans risque de casser le crochet. En outre, afin d'assurer un bon serrage du support contre le rebord de la cuvette, le crochet présente avantageusement au moins un enroulement complet 23 de 360° à son extrémité d'engagement ainsi qu'il apparaît des figures 1 et 3. Cela permet d'éviter tout risque de décrochage involontaire du support 5 et une évacuation de celui-ci dans les bouches d'évacuation du W.-C. pouvant entraîner un bouchage de celui-ci ou des conduits d'eau en aval.The hook 21 advantageously has at least on part of it a reinforcing rib 22 extending longitudinally and substantially in the middle of it. The longitudinal rib 22 advantageously constitutes an additional elastic element springing out so as to increase the elasticity indicated by H of the hook 21. This increases the possibilities of disengagement of the support relative to the bowl without risk of breaking the hook. In addition, in order to ensure a good tightening of the support against the rim of the bowl, the hook advantageously has at least one complete winding 23 of 360 ° at its engagement end as it appears from FIGS. 1 and 3. This avoids any risk of unintentional detachment of the support 5 and an evacuation of the latter in the drainage outlets of the toilet which could lead to clogging of the latter or of the downstream water conduits.
De préférence, la patte 95 ou tige 37 du crochet possède une largeur L qui dépasse un seuil minimum de par exemple environ 1 cm, de façon à renforcer la rigidité assurant un serrage du crochet 21 contre le rebord 2 de la cuvette 1 et un maintien de l'étui 10 juste en dessous de celui-ci 2 irréprochables.Preferably, the tab 95 or rod 37 of the hook has a width L which exceeds a minimum threshold of for example about 1 cm, so as to reinforce the rigidity ensuring a tightening of the hook 21 against the rim 2 of the bowl 1 and a support from the case 10 just below it 2 blameless.
L'étui 10 est réalisé d'une pièce et présente à une extrémité une ouverture 13 p- -mettant une introduction selon G fort commode d'un bâtonnet 3 dans l'étui 10, ne nécessitant de la part de l'utilisateur aucune manipulation d'ouverture de l'étui lors de la recharge. De préférence, des ergots anti-retour 14 sont prévus sur le pourtour de l'ouverture précitée pour retenir le bâtonnet sanitaire 3 dans l'étui 10 après introduction de celui-ci. De plus, grâce à la recharge latérale, une fermeture plus stable et ferme de l'étui 10 formant boîtier peut être obtenue.The case 10 is made in one piece and has at one end an opening 13 p - allowing a very convenient insertion along G of a stick 3 into the case 10, requiring no manipulation on the part of the user opening the case when recharging. Preferably, non-return lugs 14 are provided on the periphery of the aforementioned opening for retaining the sanitary rod 3 in the case 10 after introduction thereof. In addition, thanks to the lateral refill, a more stable and firm closure of the case 10 forming a housing can be obtained.
La surface supérieure 15 de l'étui présente avantageusement une forme de cuvette de façon à récolter plus d'eau encore vers le bâtonnet 3 situé en aval. A cet égard, la surface supérieure précitée 15 est ajourée 16 de façon à canaliser la plus grande quantité d'eau possible vers le bâtonnet. Dans cette configuration illustrée sur la figure 8, il est prévu une arête 17 très fine agencée pour s'adapter parfaitement à la paroi de la cuvette et permettre ainsi un passage direct du flux d'eau dans le bâtonnet. L'arête 17 est agencée de préférence en surélévation par rapport au reste de la surface supérieure précitée 13 de l'étui 10. Le jet d'eau libéré en tirant la chasse se retrouve ainsi naturellement guidé vers le bâtonnet situé à l'intérieur de l'étui. Les ouvertures 47 dans la surface supérieure 15 de l'étui s'étendent pratiquement jusqu'à l'arête 17, l'extrémité correspondante 48 desd-Ja. a.S-_ ouvertures présentant par exemple un profil rectangulaire suivant sensiblement le profil de l'arête 17.The upper surface 15 of the case advantageously has the shape of a bowl so as to collect even more water towards the rod 3 located downstream. In this regard, the above-mentioned upper surface 15 is perforated 16 so as to channel the greatest possible amount of water towards the rod. In this configuration illustrated in Figure 8, there is provided a very fine edge 17 arranged to adapt perfectly to the wall of the bowl and thus allow a direct passage of the water flow in the stick. The edge 17 is preferably arranged in elevation relative to the rest of the aforementioned upper surface 13 of the case 10. The jet of water released by flushing is thus naturally guided towards the stick located inside the case. The openings 47 in the upper surface 15 of the case extend practically up to the edge 17, the corresponding end 48 desd-Ja. a.S-_ openings having for example a rectangular profile substantially following the profile of the edge 17.
Avantageusement, les moyens de guidage précites 30 sont aménagés sur la surface supérieure précitée 13 de l'étui sensiblement dans une zone centrale de celle-ci du côté d'une surface latérale 12 de l'-""**uι qui est oppose à la cuvette, et donc de l'arête 17. Lesdits moyens de guidage 32 comprennent une fente 48 pour l'introduction des moyens de réglage 35, avantageusement avec une sécurité de fermeture 33 comme illustre sur la figure 10. Ceux-ci sont essentiellement constitués d'un épaulement anti-retour 33 agencé pour empêcher un retrait non désiré, par exemple de la part d'enfants.Advantageously, the aforementioned guide means 30 are arranged on the aforementioned upper surface 13 of the case substantially in a central zone of the latter on the side of a lateral surface 12 of the- "" ** uι which is opposite to the bowl, and therefore of the edge 17. Said guide means 32 comprise a slot 48 for the introduction of the adjustment means 35, advantageously with a closing safety device 33 as illustrated in the figure 10. These essentially consist of a non-return shoulder 33 arranged to prevent unwanted withdrawal, for example from children.
Avantageusement, la surface latérale 11 de l'étui 10 qui est tournée vers la cuvette 1 présente un profil parfaitement adapté à la forme de la paroi de la cuvette ainsi qu'il apparaît de la figure 2. Le profil courbe de ladite surface latérale 11 est bien illustré sur les figures 5 et 6. Cela favorise un captage maximum d'eau par l'étui 10 du support 5.Advantageously, the lateral surface 11 of the case 10 which is turned towards the bowl 1 has a profile perfectly adapted to the shape of the wall of the bowl as it appears from FIG. 2. The curved profile of said lateral surface 11 is well illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. This promotes maximum water uptake by the case 10 of the support 5.
De préférence, les deux surfaces latérales précitées 11, 12 se confondent à leur extrémité inférieure en un fond asymétrique commun formant culot 43 pour l'étui. Dans le culot 43 précité réside en permanence une mince réserve d'eau résiduelle permettant d'assurer une présence permanente d'humidité minimale requise pour une permanence d'effet du bâtonnet, celui-ci 3 n'étant actif qu'en présence d'eau.Preferably, the two aforementioned lateral surfaces 11, 12 merge at their lower end into a common asymmetrical bottom forming base 43 for the case. In the aforementioned base 43 permanently resides a thin reserve of residual water making it possible to ensure a permanent presence of minimum humidity required for a permanent effect of the stick, the latter 3 being active only in the presence of water.
Le fond 43 présente une allure rétrécie par rapport à la surface supérieure, de préférence au moins la moitié de la largeur de celle-ci 15. Ainsi, le culot 43 ne forme qu'une goulotte relativement étroite, de quoi assurer la présence d'une réserve d'eau suffisante dans le fond de l'étui. A cet égard, le rayon de l'arrondi formé par le fond est avantageusement compris entre 5 et 10 mm, de préférence entre 6 et 8 mm, par exemple approximativement 7 mm. Ceci correspond en valeur nominale à une valeur allant de Λn* ron un sixième à un huitième de la hauteur hors tout de l'étui.The bottom 43 has a narrowed shape relative to the upper surface, preferably at least half the width of the latter 15. Thus, the base 43 only forms a relatively narrow chute, enough to ensure the presence of sufficient water in the bottom of the case. In this respect, the radius of the rounding formed by the bottom is advantageously between 5 and 10 mm, preferably between 6 and 8 mm, for example approximately 7 mm. This corresponds in nominal value to a value ranging from Λ n * ron one sixth to one eighth of the overall height of the case.
De plus, une amélioration cumulée de l'effet de mousse du bâtonnet sanitaire 3 est obtenue par l'agencement de larges ouvertures ou ajours 16 dans la surface supérieure 15 de l'étui, la courbure de la surface latérale 11 adaptée a la forme de la cuvette, le fond 43 continu de l'étui, et la forme en cuvette de la surface supérieure 15 de l'étui, pris isolément ou en combinaison .In addition, a cumulative improvement in the foam effect of the sanitary stick 3 is obtained by the arrangement of large openings or openings 16 in the upper surface 15 of the case, the curvature of the lateral surface 11 adapted to the shape of the bowl, the continuous bottom 43 of the case, and the bowl shape of the upper surface 15 of the case, taken individually or in combination.
La surface latérale opposée 12 tournée vers 1 ' intérieur de la cuvette et visible a l'utilisateur peut servir de support d'information ou d'identification personnalisable. Dans l'exemple illustre sur la figure 1, il est représenté des ajours de fantaisie 44. En outre, grâce a l'agencement interne 53 du crochet 21 au sein même de l'étui 10, la surface d'information et/ou les éléments d'identification personnalisables précités 44 ne sont pas masques par la tige du crochet 21. L'agencement interne 53 précité permet également un guidage plus sûr et stable de la tige 37.The opposite side surface 12 facing the interior of the bowl and visible to the user can serve as a support for information or customizable identification. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, fancy cutouts 44 are represented. In addition, thanks to the internal arrangement 53 of the hook 21 within the case 10, the information surface and / or the the aforementioned customizable identification elements 44 are not masked by the rod of the hook 21. The above-mentioned internal arrangement 53 also allows safer and more stable guiding of the rod 37.
Comme illustré sur la figure 3, l'étui est monobloc et un plan de joint 42 est prévu sensiblement en travers, de préférence sensiblement en diagonale, en léger décalage par rapport au point bas du fond 43 de l'etui 10 sur un angle α déterminé. Ceci permet d'éviter l'utilisation de ce que l'on appelle les "tiroirs" lors de la fabrication. Ceci a pour conséquence de réduire considérablement les coûts de fabrication, tant du moule que des pièces. A cet égard, la pièce encore a l'état ouvert est illustrée sur la figure 9.As illustrated in FIG. 3, the case is in one piece and a joint plane 42 is provided substantially across, preferably substantially diagonally, slightly offset from the bottom point of the bottom 43 of the case 10 at an angle α determined. This avoids the use of so-called "drawers" during manufacture. This has the consequence of considerably reducing the manufacturing costs, both of the mold and of the parts. In this regard, the part still in the open state is illustrated in FIG. 9.
Alternativement, l'étui 10 peut être, i .ilisé lui-même en une matière parfumée, notamment en matière plastique, dégageant en permanence son parfum.Alternatively, the case 10 can be, i. Itself used in a scented material, in particular plastic, permanently releasing its perfume.
De préférence, l'étui 10 d'une part et les moyens d'application 20 d'autre part sont réalisés chacun en matières plastiques différentes avec diverses applications dont notamment le crochet pouvant être réalisé en une matière plastique résistant au "stress- cracking", tandis que l'étui peut être réalisé en un plastique plus dur avec un meilleur effet de clipsage pour éviter qu'il ne s'ouvre.Preferably, the case 10 on the one hand and the means application 20 on the other hand are each made of different plastics with various applications including in particular the hook can be made of a plastic material resistant to "stress-cracking", while the case can be made of a harder plastic with a better clipping effect to prevent it from opening.
Une autre application consiste à réaliser l'étui 10 en matière plastique à parfumer présentant une élasticité inférieure à celle du moyen d' application 20 dont l'élasticité plus grande confère à celui-ci un effet ressort anti-rupture. On peut obtenir ainsi une séparation d'effet entre l'effet d'ambiance émanant de l'étui lui-même d'une part et l'effet nettoyant et/ou désinfectant émanant du bâtonnet sanitaire d'autre part.Another application consists in making the case 10 of plastic material to be perfumed having an elasticity lower than that of the application means 20, the greater elasticity of which gives it an anti-break spring effect. One can thus obtain a separation of effect between the ambient effect emanating from the case itself on the one hand and the cleaning and / or disinfecting effect emanating from the sanitary stick on the other hand.
En effet, les composants désinfectants tels que le chlore actif dans une formule de type Javel ont un effet négatif sur la qualité du parfum lorsqu'ils sont contenus tous deux dans le même élément, à savoir le bâtonnet sanitaire. Cet effet négatif est considérablement atténué, voire même disparaît, si la matière parfumée n'est pas présente dans le bâtonnet maî '—-t tôt dans l'étui lui-même. Dans ce cas, on utilise un bâtonnet désinfectant à base -c -un agent germicide non parfumé.Indeed, disinfectant components such as active chlorine in a bleach-type formula have a negative effect on the quality of the perfume when they are both contained in the same element, namely the sanitary stick. This negative effect is considerably attenuated, or even disappears, if the scented material is not present in the master stick early in the case itself. In this case, a disinfectant stick based on -c - an unscented germicidal agent is used.
Cependant, il est également possible d'obtenir une intensité de parfum plus élevée en réalisant tant l'étui que le bâtonnet sanitaire à base de matières p fumées. On peut ainsi obtenir un bc*q t de senteurs aux subtilités extrêmement variées.However, it is also possible to obtain a higher fragrance intensity by producing both the case and the sanitary stick based on smoked materials. We can thus obtain a bc * qt of scents with extremely varied subtleties.
Il est entendu que la portée de la présente demande de brevet s'étend également aux deux aspects de base pris en combinaison l'un avec l'autre, notamment d'une part le moyen d'application ou crochet réglable donnant un support réglable en hauteur par rapport à la cuvette et d'autre part le support avec étui parfume dans sa composition même, et ce dans toutes les variantes décrites ci-dessus. It is understood that the scope of this patent application also extends to the two basic aspects taken in combination with each other, in particular on the one hand the adjustable application means or hook giving a support adjustable in height relative to the bowl and on the other hand the support with perfume case in its very composition, and this in all the variants described above.
