Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es sind verschiedene Vorschläge bekannt, die Zeit der Benützung eines Klosetts möglichst angenehm zu gestalten. So wurde beispielsweise vorgeschlagen, Lektüre in Toiletten bereitzuhalten, damit Benützer ihre Zeit auf dem Klosett mit Lesen verbringen können.There are various proposals known to make the time of use of a toilet as pleasant as possible. For example, it has been proposed to keep reading in toilets so that users can spend their time reading on the toilet.

In der US 5 465 422 ist eine Vorrichtung offenbart, die eine in der WC-Brille angeordnete druckempfindliche Schaltvorrichtung zur Ansteuerung einer Audioeinheit verwendet. Die Schaltvorrichtung umfasst einen im unbeaufschlagten Zustand geöffneten Druckknopfschalter. Durch Druck, den z.B. eine auf die WC-Brille aufsitzende Person ausübt, wird der Druckknopfschalter geschlossen. Die Audioeinrichtung wird durch Schliessen des Druckknopfschalters in Betrieb gesetzt und durch Öffnen des Druckknopfschalters ausgeschaltet.In US 5,465,422 a device is disclosed which utilizes a pressure sensitive switching device disposed in the toilet seat to drive an audio unit. The switching device comprises a pushbutton switch which is opened in the unbiased state. By pressure, e.g. exerts a person sitting on the toilet seat glasses, the push button switch is closed. The audio device is put into operation by closing the push-button switch and switched off by opening the push-button switch.

Nachteilig hieran ist, dass aufgrund der erforderlichen kräftemässigen Beanspruchung der Schaltvorrichtung ein erhebliches Risiko von frühzeitigem Verschleiss der Schaltvorrichtung besteht.The disadvantage of this is that due to the required physical stress of the switching device is a considerable risk of premature wear of the switching device.

Aus der FR 2 681 232 ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die eine im WC-Deckel angeordnete Schalteinheit verwendet, um in Abhängigkeit von der Position des WC-Deckels eine Audioeinheit anzusteuern, die ebenfalls im WC-Deckel integriert ist. Die Schalteinheit besteht beispielsweise aus einem Quecksilberschalter. Nachteilig an dieser Anordnung ist, dass einer bestimmten Position (in der Regel der senkrechten Position) des WC-Deckels der eingeschaltete Zustand der Audioeinheit und einer anderen Position (in der Regel der waagerechten Position) des WC-Deckels der ausgeschaltete Zustand der Audioeinheit zugeordnet ist, so dass wenn sich der WC-Deckel in diesen Positionen befindet, nicht frei gewählt werden kann, ob die Audioeinheit ein oder ausgeschaltet sein soll und der WC-Deckel zunächst in eine bestimmte Position gebracht werden muss, um einen Schaltvorgang auszulösen. So muss eine auf dem WC sitzende Person zunächst aufstehen, um den WC-Deckel in die horizontale Lage zu bringen und damit die Audioeinheit auszuschalten.From FR 2 681 232 a device is known which uses a switching unit arranged in the WC lid in order to control an audio unit which is likewise integrated in the WC lid, depending on the position of the WC lid. The switching unit consists for example of a mercury switch. A disadvantage of this arrangement is that a certain position (usually the vertical position) of the toilet cover the switched state of the audio unit and another position (usually the horizontal position) of the toilet cover is assigned to the off state of the audio unit so that when the toilet lid is in these positions, it can not be freely selected whether the audio unit should be on or off and the toilet lid must first be brought into a certain position to trigger a switching operation. So a person sitting on the toilet must first get up to bring the toilet lid in the horizontal position and thus turn off the audio unit.

Angesichts der oben genannten Nachteile, ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, welche im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik benutzerfreundlicher zu bedienen und weniger verschleissanfällig ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Mögliche Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.In view of the above drawbacks, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device which is more user-friendly to use and less susceptible to wear than the prior art. This object is solved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Possible embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer Zeichnung beispielsweise näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt die einzige Figur einen Klosettdeckel mit einer erfindungsgemässen Abspieleinheit.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing, for example. The single figure shows a toilet lid with a playback unit according to the invention.

Die Figur zeigt einen Klosettdeckel D und eine mit diesem über ein Scharnier verbundene Klosettbrille KB. Auf der Oberseite des Deckels D ist eine Abspieleinheit B vorgesehen, die einen Lautsprecher LS und eine Speichereinheit aufweist diese vorstehend genannten Komponenten werden von einer Schalteinheit und einer entsprechenden Steuerelektronik angesteuert. Ein im Fachgebiet der Elektronik tätiger Fachmann kann die Steuerelektronik für die Abspieleinheit B aufgrund der nachstehenden Funktionsbeschreibung ohne weiteres entwerfen.The figure shows a toilet lid D and a gland KB connected thereto via a hinge. On the top of the lid D, a playback unit B is provided, which has a loudspeaker LS and a Memory unit having these aforementioned components are driven by a switching unit and a corresponding control electronics. An expert working in the field of electronics can readily design the control electronics for the playback unit B on the basis of the following functional description.

Wird ein Schaltvorgang mittels einer Lichtschranke beim Herantreten einer Person auslöst, so wird eine in der Speichereinheit abgespeicherte Melodie oder ein abgespeicherter Text über den Lautsprecher LS abgespielt.If a switching operation by means of a light barrier triggers the approach of a person, a melody stored in the memory unit or a stored text is played via the loudspeaker LS.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird die gesamte in der Speichereinheit abgespeicherte Information einmal abgespielt. Nach dem einmaligen Abspielen wird die Schalteinheit zurückgesetzt und eine erneutes Bewegen des Deckels D ist erforderlich, damit die Information wiederum abgespielt wird. Das Abspielen ist somit auf eine vorab einstellbare Zeit begrenzt.In one embodiment of the invention, the entire information stored in the memory unit is played once. After the single playback, the switching unit is reset and a renewed movement of the lid D is required so that the information is played again. The playback is thus limited to a pre-set time.

In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung - wie in der Figur dargestellt - ist die Abspieleinheit B auf dem Deckel D montiert. Denkbar ist als weitere Ausführungsformen der Erfindung, die Abspieleinheit B komplett im Deckel D zu integrieren oder lediglich die Schalteinheit auf dem bzw. im Deckel D zu montieren. Bei der letztgenannten Ausführungsform können die übrigen Komponenten an anderer Stelle versteckt angeordnet werden oder es können Abspieleinheiten mit besserer Qualität - beispielsweise HiFi-Anlagen - eingesetzt werden.In the preferred embodiment of the invention - as shown in the figure - the playback unit B is mounted on the lid D. It is conceivable as further embodiments of the invention to completely integrate the playback unit B in the lid D or to mount only the switching unit on the lid or in the D. at In the last-mentioned embodiment, the remaining components can be arranged concealed elsewhere, or playback units with better quality, for example hi-fi systems, can be used.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass neben dem Lautsprecher LS zum Abspielen der in der Speichereinheit gespeicherten Information zusätzlich ein Mikrophon als zusätzliche elektro-akustische Wandlereinheit vorgesehen ist. Durch das Mikronphon wird es ermöglicht, die Information in der Speichereinheit nach belieben zu ändern.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that in addition to the loudspeaker LS for playing the information stored in the storage unit, a microphone is additionally provided as an additional electro-acoustic converter unit. The micronphone makes it possible to change the information in the memory unit as desired.
