Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Abortanlage mit Wasserabschluss, mit einem Wasserbehälter, mit einer Wasserpumpe, welche mittels eines mit Niedrigspannung betreibbaren Motor antreibbar ist, und mit einer im Inneren der Klossettschüsset angeordneten Waschdusche.The present invention relates to a Abortanlage with water, with a water tank, with a water pump, which by means of a Low-voltage operable motor is drivable, and with one inside the Klossettschüsset arranged wash shower.
Eine Abortanlage dieser Gattung ist im U.S. Patent Nr. 3,810,260 offenbart.An abortion facility of this type is described in U.S. Pat. Patent No. 3,810,260.
Das U.S. Patent 5,409,167 beschreibt eine transportable Einrichtung, welche als ein Sprühapparat ausgeführt ist. Dieser Sprühapparat weist einen Wasserbehälter und ein Auslaufrohr auf. Dieses Auslaufrohr ist einerends an dem Wasserbehälter angeschlossen und anderenends befinden sich Wasserdüsen. Das Ausflussrohr des Sprühapparats muss durch den Benutzer in die Schüssel eingeführt werden, was den Benutzer dazu nötigt vom Sitz der Toilette aufzustehen.U.S. Patent 5,409,167 describes a transportable device, which as a spraying apparatus is executed. This sprayer has a water tank and an outlet pipe. This spout is at one end to the water tank connected and at the other end there are water jets. The spout of the sprayer must be inserted into the bowl by the user, which forces the user to get up from the toilet seat.
Die Druckschrift WO 98/22668 offenbart eine Hygieneeinrichtung im medizinischen Anwendungsbereich, mit welcher nebst Wasser auch Waschflüssigkeit zur Reinigung verwendet kann. Diese Hygieneeinrichtung ist im Betriebszustand transportabel und sie kann im Innern einer Toilettenschüssel angebracht sein.The document WO 98/22668 discloses a hygiene device in medical scope, with which besides water too Washing fluid used for cleaning. This hygiene device is in Operating condition portable and they can be inside a toilet bowl to be appropriate.
Das U.S. Patent Nr. 5,299,329 offenbart eine Einrichtung zum Duschen beim Camping, mit einer schwenkbare Waschdusche. Diese Einrichtung umfasst unter anderem auch eine Wasserpumpe, welche von einem Niedrigvolt-Elektromotor angetrieben werden kann. Dieser Motor kann aus einer Solarzellenanlage gespiesen werden. U.S. U.S. Patent No. 5,299,329 discloses a showering device Camping, with a swiveling wash shower. This facility includes under Another example is a water pump, which is powered by a low-voltage electric motor can be driven. This engine can be from a solar cell system be fed.
Die meisten dieser bekannten Hygieneeinrichtungen benutzen Waschduschen. Der Wasserstrahl ist in die ungefähre Richtung der rektalen Körperöffnung des Benutzers gerichtet. Die Richtung des Wasserstrahls kann jedoch während der Benutzung der Hygieneeinrichtung nicht verändert werden und somit nicht an die körperlichen Gegebenheiten des Benutzers angepasst werden.Most of these known hygiene devices use wash showers. The water jet is in the approximate direction of the rectal orifice of the body User directed. However, the direction of the water jet can during the Use of the hygiene device can not be changed and therefore not to the adapted to the physical conditions of the user.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den genannten sowie noch weitere Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu beseitigen.The present invention is based on the object mentioned and to eliminate even further disadvantages of the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei der Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Gattung erfindungsgemäss so gelöst, wie dies im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 definiert ist.This object is according to the invention in the device of the type mentioned solved as in the characterizing part of patent claim 1 is defined.
Nachstehend werden Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung anhand der
beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:
Die neue Erfindung weist vor allem die folgenden Kernmerkmale auf.
Die
The
Dadurch ist die Grundlage für eine weltweite Benützung dieses hygienischen und kostengünstigen Gerätes für jedermann geschaffen.This is the basis for a worldwide use of this hygienic and inexpensive device created for everyone.
Für die unterkörperliche Hygiene werden in der ganzen Welt verschiedene Methoden, unter anderem Toilettenpapier und Wasser, für die Beseitigung der Überreste nach dem Stuhlgang angewendet. For the underbody hygiene in the whole world become different Methods, including toilet paper and water, for the elimination of Remains applied after bowel movement.
Im westlichen Raum ist die Verwendung des Toilettenpapiers weit verbreitet, aber diese Methode hat die bekannten Tücken und hinterlässt meistens lästige Spuren an der Unterwäsche. Diese Unsauberkeit verursacht oft Beschwerden, wie z B. Hämorrhoiden, Hautreizungen und Entzündungen.In the western area, the use of toilet paper is widespread, but This method has the known pitfalls and usually leaves annoying traces on the underwear. This messiness often causes discomfort, such as Hemorrhoids, skin irritation and inflammation.
In östlichen Ländern wird seit Urzeiten hauptsächlich Wasser für die
Unterkörperpflege benutzt, aber in einer sehr unhygienischen Weise.
Nach dem Stuhlgang wird mit den Händen eingerieben bis die Rückstände
teilweise oder völlig entfernt sind.In ancient Eastern countries water has been used for underbody care since primeval times, but in a very unhygienic way.
After the bowel movement rubbed with your hands until the residues are partially or completely removed.
In westlichen und östlichen Länder sind seit zirka fünfundzwanzig Jahren viele Sorten von WC-Duschen für diesen Zweck auf dem Weltmarkt erschienen, die aber wegen zu hohen technischen Anforderungen und kostspieliger Bauweise nicht den Bedürfnissen des Grossteils der Bevölkerung entsprechen.There have been many in western and eastern countries for about twenty-five years Varieties of toilet showers for this purpose appeared on the world market, which but because of too high technical requirements and costly construction do not meet the needs of the majority of the population.
Übrigens benötigen fast alle bis heute bekannten WC-Duschen einen Anschluss an eine Hochdruckwasserleitung von ca. zwei bar und zudem auch einen elektrischen Anschluss von mindestens 110 oder 220 Volt.Incidentally, almost all known to date toilet showers need a connection to a high-pressure water pipe of about two bar and also one electrical connection of at least 110 or 220 volts.
Nur wenige Länder verfügen über eine solche Infrastruktur und in gewissen Ländern herrschen strenge Vorschriften; die das Zusammenspiel von Wasser und Strom in diesen Geräten wegen Lebensgefahr oder anderen Gründe verbieten und/oder dass es die technische Inkompatibilität nicht zulässt, diese Geräte zu gebrauchen, bzw. zu installieren.Few countries have such infrastructure and in some Countries have strict regulations; the interaction of water and Do not allow power in these devices due to mortal danger or other reasons and / or that the technical incompatibility does not allow these devices use, or install.
Es gibt bevölkerungsreiche Länder, die mit WC-Anlagen und Spühlkästen reichlich vertraut sind, aber die Wasserversorgung sowie die elektrische Energie ist lückenhaft und deshalb eine Duschvorrichtung im WC-Bereich fast ungeeignet. Das Wasser wird einmal im Tag in den hauseigenen Tank im obersten Stockwerk gepumpt und danach fliesst das Wasser durch Gravitation herunter für den täglichen Gebrauch, unter anderem, auch in den WC-Spülkasten.There are populous countries plentiful with toilet facilities and sinks are familiar, but the water supply as well as the electrical energy is incomplete and therefore a shower device in the toilet area almost unsuitable. The water is added once a day to the in-house tank on the top floor pumped and then the water flows down by gravity for the daily use, among other things, even in the toilet cistern.
Die elektrische Stromversorgung leidet unter vergleichbaren Symptomen. Plötzlich bricht das Stromnetz zusammen und man steht halbrasiert vor dem Spiegel. The electrical power suffers from similar symptoms. Suddenly the power grid breaks down and you stand in front of the mirror in a half-shave.
