Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating device for a cistern according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such actuators are used in particular for under plaster built-in cisterns of toilet flushes, the actuating mechanism is partially mounted on and in the cistern and the user sees only the respective operating frame with the keys.
  • an actuator for a drain fitting is known, which is arranged in a cisterns.
  • a pin can be moved via a first actuating button, which is connected to a triggering device for starting the flushing process. If the user wants to interrupt the flush, a second button is connected via a further bolt with the triggering device to close the drain valve on the cistern again.
  • the actuator shown can be used for drain fittings where a "stop and go" mechanism, i. a purge-stop function is desired, another control or dosage of the purge amount can not be achieved with this actuator.
  • an actuator for flushing cisterns two keys, the two via an actuating mechanism, an opening of the drain valve in the cistern.
  • the first button is a full flush with about 9 liters of water performed while the second button flushing with a reduced amount of water (eg 3 liters) takes place.
  • This arrangement is also referred to as a two-volume technique and has the advantage that the operator can easily save water without interrupting the flushing process.
  • EP 0 727 533 A2 discloses an actuating device for a flushing cistern which has an actuating frame on which two keys which can be actuated separately from one another are provided. The keys are coupled to an actuating mechanism by means of a drain valve can be opened and closed. With one button, the drain valve can be opened, so that a first amount of water flows from the cistern. By pressing the other button, the drain valve can be closed or a flushing process can be triggered, in which a second amount of water flows from the cistern, which is smaller than the first amount of water.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that the separate provision of cistern actuators for different techniques is unsatisfactory. Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an actuator for a cistern, which can be used for both the dual-quantity technique and for the flush-stop technique.
  • the actuating device according to the invention intended for a flushing cistern, in particular for a cistern fitted under plaster has an actuating frame which is at least partially accessible from the outside.
  • two buttons are provided, the be actuated separately from each other and coupled with an actuating mechanism.
  • a drain valve can be opened and closed.
  • the drain valve is opened, so that a first amount of water flows out of the cistern.
  • the second button either the drain valve can be closed or a flushing process can be triggered in which a second amount of water flows out of the cistern, which is smaller than the first amount of water.
  • the actuating mechanism has a first slide which is connected to the first key, and a second slide which is connected to the second key, wherein both slides act on a lever for opening and closing the drain valve.
  • Installer must therefore bring only one actuator for installation, which can be adapted for both techniques. A downtime due to a wrong actuator is thus safely avoided. Furthermore, the storage costs are reduced, since no two actuators must be in stock separately.
  • the length of the slide can be easily adapted to the particular installation situation, especially if the slides are designed in several parts.
  • a linkage for opening the drain valve can be raised, and for closing the drain valve by the second button, the second slider engages the lever to move the lever against the actuating direction.
  • the actuating mechanism is adjustable to adjust the function of the second button.
  • the adjustment can take place via a lever, a switch or a rotating mechanism, via which the power transmission path or the direction of the power transmission path is changed.
  • the operator can set the actuating mechanism to the desired operation without major assembly operations. If the two-volume technique is selected, preferably also the flow rate can be adjusted with the adjustment mechanism.
  • the actuator is prepared as a kind of kit, so that the fitter set only by selecting the right component, such as the right lever or switch, the desired function of the actuator can.
  • the first button and the second button are each held by a spring in its initial position so that they automatically return to an operation in their initial position.
  • the operating frame is mounted on a substantially horizontal top of a cistern, so that it is easily accessible.
  • the actuator frame may be mountable to a substantially vertical front of a cistern.
  • the actuating device is designed so that it can be mounted on both a horizontal surface and on a vertical surface, so that only a single actuator must be provided for both applications.
  • a flushing device for a toilet flush is further provided with a cistern, to which a water supply and a drain valve are provided, wherein the flushing device comprises an actuating device according to the invention.
  • the flushing device shown in Figs. 1 to 4 comprises a cistern 1 made of plastic which can be attached via lateral flanges 2 on a wall of a house.
  • the cistern 1 is surrounded by a housing 3.
  • a drain 4 is provided, which opens into a toilet, not shown.
  • a drain valve is arranged, which can be opened and closed by means of an actuating mechanism.
  • a usually arranged under plaster shaft 5 is provided, which is closed with an operating frame 6 with a large button 9 with a toilet facing the front edge 7 and another small button 8.
  • the keys 8 and 9 are pivotally mounted about an axis 100 in the operating frame 6.
  • the length of the bolts 10 and 11 can be adjusted as the length of the shaft 5 to the respective installation situation.
  • the bolt 10 is connected to a slide 12 made of plastic, which is slidably mounted in an attachment 17.
  • the slider 12 is biased upward by a spring 24 so that it automatically returns to its upper home position after an operation.
  • the slider 12 is integrally formed with an actuating arm 16 having at its end a T-shaped end piece with a nose 23 and a driver 26.
  • the bolt 11 connected to the key 9 is received at its lower end in a slide 13 made of plastic.
  • the slider 13 is integrally formed with an L-shaped arm 130 against which a spring 25 abuts, which biases the arm 130 with the slider 13 upwards.
  • the spring 25 is arranged around a pin 22 and supported on a further pin 23 with a spring arm.
  • a lever 14 For actuating the drain valve, a lever 14 is provided, which is mounted pivotably about an axis 15. The lever 14 is connected at its lower end with a rod 19 with holding ribs 20, to which an actuating element 21 is attached for the drain valve.
  • the rinsing operation is initiated by operation of the large button 9.
  • the pin 11 is pressed down against the force of the spring 25, wherein the slider 13 is displaced with the arm 130.
  • the arm 130 presses on the right of the axis 15 of the lever 14, so that the left part of the lever 14 is moved with the rod 19 upwards.
  • the operating member 21 is raised, so that the drain valve is opened.
  • the actuation mechanism is switched to the two-volume technique.
  • the slide 12 is replaced by a modified slide 12 '(FIGS. 7 to 9).
  • the slider 12 ' is coupled to a lever 16' which has an edge 27 which cooperates with a teardrop-shaped projection 28 on the lever 14. Upon a movement of the lever 16 ', the projection 28 slides over the edge 27, so that the lever 14 is also pivoted.
  • a full flush is obtained by actuation of the large button 9 ( Figure 8).
  • the drain valve is opened via the pin 11, the slider 13, the driver 26, the lever 14, the rod 19 and the actuating element 21. Due to the force of the spring 25 and the force acting on said components gravity, the drain valve is automatically closed again after the full flush when the desired amount of water has flowed through the drain valve.
  • FIGS. 10 to 13 show a further exemplary embodiment of an actuating device according to the invention, which is provided on a cistern 1 'with a vertically installed actuating frame 6.
  • the cistern 1 ' is surrounded by a housing 3 as in the previous embodiment and fastened by side flanges 2 on a wall.
  • the actuating mechanism for the flushing is formed substantially equal to the actuating mechanism described above, wherein like reference numerals have been used for substantially identical components.
  • the operating mechanism is equipped for the two-volume operation.
  • the slider 12 'movable which can pivot the lever 16'.
  • On the lever 16 'an edge 27' is formed, which engages the projection 28 'and thereby the lever 14' can pivot.
  • the lever 14 'and the rod 19' are shaped differently in this embodiment than the lever 14 and the rod 19, but the function is identical.
  • the button 8 By pressing the button 8, the rod 19 'can be moved faster over a spring force back down to close the passage valve faster in the partial flush.
  • the actuation of the button 9 for a full flush is the same as in the previous embodiment.
  • Fig. 13 the operating mechanism for the flush-stop technique is converted.
  • a driver of the slider 16 engages the lever 14 'in order to press this down from the raised position and to end the flushing process.
  • the movement of the slider 16 is enforced by the operation of the key 8 and movement of the bolt 10.
  • the key 9 initiates the flushing process via the bolt 11, a slide 13, the lever 14 'and the rod 19'.
  • the conversion of two-volume technology to rinse-stop technology and vice versa by replacing a slider 12 and 12 'and the actuating arm 16 and the lever 16' is achieved.
  • the conversion can be realized by other known mechanisms, for example using levers, switches or knobs.
