Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble sanitaire comportant deux parties, à savoir un réservoir de chasse d'eau et une cuvette de toilettes, munies de moyens de fixation de l'une à l'autre.The present invention relates to a sanitary assembly comprising two parts, namely a flush tank and a toilet bowl, provided means of attachment from one to the other.
On connaít de tels ensembles sanitaires dans lesquels lesdits moyens de fixation comprennent des vis, des rondelles, des écrous ou papillons et des organes d'étanchéité.We know such sanitary units in which said means of fasteners include screws, washers, nuts or butterflies and sealing members.
Lors de l'installation de l'ensemble sanitaire, l'installateur doit intervenir à l'arrière et/ou sous la cuvette pour fixer l'ensemble sanitaire en procédant au vissage en aveugle d'écrous ou papillons, sous la partie supérieure de la cuvette, ledit vissage s'effectuant sur des vis solidaires du réservoir, ces dernières pénétrant dans des trous percés dans la partie supérieure de la cuvette.During the installation of the sanitary assembly, the installer must intervene in the back and / or under the bowl to fix the sanitary assembly by proceeding blind screwing of nuts or butterflies, under the upper part of the bowl, said screwing being carried out on screws integral with the tank, the latter penetrating holes drilled in the upper part of the bowl.
De même, lors de l'entretien courant des chasses d'eau, il est parfois nécessaire de désolidariser le réservoir de la cuvette, en particulier pour un remplacement de mécanisme de chasse d'eau, puis de fixer de nouveau le réservoir sur la cuvette après entretien. Ces opérations de désolidarisation et de fixation nécessitent encore de procéder au dévissage ou vissage en aveugle d'écrous ou papillons sur les vis desdits moyens de fixation.Likewise, during routine maintenance of flushing toilets, it is sometimes necessary to separate the tank from the bowl, in particular for a replacing the flushing mechanism, then re-attaching the tank on the bowl after maintenance. These operations of decoupling and fixing still requires unscrewing or blind screwing nuts or butterflies on the screws of said fixing means.
De plus, un local où est installé un ensemble sanitaire est en général exigu, ainsi que l'espace disponible pour l'accès auxdits moyens de fixation, rendant ainsi les opérations de fixation et de désolidarisation difficiles.In addition, a room where a sanitary unit is installed is generally cramped, as well as the space available for access to said fixing means, thus making the fixing and decoupling operations difficult.
L'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients des ensembles sanitaires classiques en créant un ensemble sanitaire conçu pour faciliter et accélérer les opérations de fixation et de désolidarisation mutuelles du réservoir et de la cuvette.The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of sanitary facilities classics by creating a sanitary unit designed to facilitate and accelerate mutual fixing and decoupling operations of the tank and the bowl.

- la plaque comporte en outre au moins deux lumières oblongues destinées à recevoir de façon réglable des vis de fixation complémentaire desdites parties l'une à l'autre.
- lesdits moyens de liaison de la plaque comprennent un écrou comportant un prolongement cylindrique creux d'évacuation d'eau qui pénètre dans un orifice de ladite autre partie, et un organe d'étanchéité à lèvres annulaires placé autour de ce prolongement ;
- ladite première partie est le réservoir de chasse d'eau et ladite autre partie est la cuvette de toilettes.
- all the male elements are integral with one of said parts, in particular the tank;
- the male elements are corrugated plastic dowels;
- said fixing means comprise a plate provided with means of connection to a first of said parts, head pins adapted to be positioned in an adjustable manner on the plate with the head retained by it, and orifices on the other of said parts , adapted to frictionally receive the rod of the ankles;

L'invention a également pour objets un réservoir de chasse d'eau et une cuvette de toilettes pour un ensemble sanitaire tel que décrit ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a flush tank and a toilet bowl for a sanitary unit as described above.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue éclatée en perspective d'un ensemble sanitaire selon l'invention ;
- la figure 2 est une vue de dessous du réservoir, selon la flèche II de la figure 1 ;
- la figure 3 est une vue partielle en coupe au niveau de l'organe d'étanchéité à lèvres de l'ensemble sanitaire avant assemblage ; et
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe de l'ensemble sanitaire assemblé, selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 1.
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a sanitary unit according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a bottom view of the tank, according to arrow II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a partial sectional view at the lip sealing member of the sanitary assembly before assembly; and
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the assembled sanitary assembly, along the line IV-IV of FIG. 1.
L'ensemble sanitaire représenté à la figure 1 selon un mode de
réalisation préféré de l'invention comprend un réservoir 2 de chasse d'eau à
couvercle 3, au fond duquel est percé un trou 4. Ce trou a un diamètre
légèrement supérieur au diamètre du culot 6 d'une embase de soupape 8
cylindrique d'un mécanisme de chasse d'eau, mais inférieur au diamètre de la
partie supérieure de l'embase 8, ledit mécanisme n'étant pas décrit ici. Un organe
d'étanchéité 10 annulaire est placé autour du culot 6 entre la partie supérieure de
l'embase 8 et le fond 9 du réservoir 2.The sanitary assembly shown in Figure 1 according to a mode of
preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a
Une plaque 12, avantageusement choisie dans un matériau rigide tel que
de l'acier inoxydable, est percée en son centre d'un trou 14 de diamètre
légèrement supérieur au diamètre du culot 6 et sensiblement égal au diamètre du
trou 4.A
Cette plaque 12 vient se placer sous le fond du réservoir 2 en faisant
coïncider les axes des trous 4 et 14. De plus, les dimensions de la plaque 12 sont
inférieures aux dimensions de ce fond.This
La liaison de la plaque 12 et du réservoir 2 est assurée par vissage d'un
écrou 16 de serrage sur le culot 6, l'écrou 16 comportant en outre une partie 18
inférieure formant un prolongement cylindrique creux d'évacuation d'eau à paroi
extérieure lisse. L'étanchéité est assurée par écrasement de l'organe
d'étanchéité 10 annulaire entre la partie supérieure de l'embase 8 et le fond du
réservoir 2, ainsi que, éventuellement, par écrasement de deux joints
d'étanchéité plats 20 et 22 annulaires, placés respectivement entre le réservoir 2
et la plaque 12 d'une part, entre la plaque 12 et l'écrou 16 d'autre part, autour du
culot 6.The connection of the
La plaque 12 comporte quatre languettes 24 disposées à ses quatre
angles, sur lesquelles s'enfilent les têtes 26 carrées creuses, c'est-à-dire
traversées par un passage horizontal, de chevilles 28 annelées, de préférence en
matière plastique. Sur deux côtés opposés, la plaque 12 comporte en outre deux
encoches 30 parallèles aux languettes 24, destinées à recevoir des vis 32 à collet
carré 31. Six évidements 33 représentés à la figure 2 sont prévus sous le fond du
réservoir 2 pour recevoir avec jeu les têtes des chevilles 28 de fixation et les
têtes des vis 32. Ces évidements se trouvent au-dessus des languettes 24 et des
encoches 30 après liaison de la plaque 12 et du réservoir 2, afin de permettre
aux chevilles 28, respectivement aux vis 32, de coulisser le long des languettes
24, respectivement des encoches 30.The
L'ensemble sanitaire comprend également une cuvette 34 de toilettes.
Celle-ci comporte dans sa partie supérieure un trou 36 de diamètre nettement
supérieur à celui de la partie inférieure 18 de l'écrou 16, cette dernière étant
destinée à pénétrer dans le trou 36. Afin d'assurer l'étanchéité entre ladite partie
18 et le trou 36, un joint d'étanchéité à lèvres 37 cylindrique, réalisé en matériau
souple tel que du caoutchouc, est placé autour de la partie 18 comme représenté
à la figure 3. Les lèvres 38 sont des collerettes circulaires de diamètre supérieur
au diamètre du trou 36. Le serrage du joint 37 sur la partie 18 est assuré par un
jeu légèrement négatif entre leurs diamètres intérieur et extérieur respectifs, et
son positionnement axial par une collerette intérieure 39 qui vient buter contre la
tranche d'extrémité inférieure du prolongement 18 de l'écrou 16.The sanitary unit also includes a
La cuvette 34 comporte également, dans sa plage arrière 40, quatre
trous 41 dont le diamètre est inférieur au diamètre maximal des chevilles 28 afin
de permettre un emboítement des chevilles 28 dans les trous 41 avec frottement.The
La plage 40 de la cuvette comporte aussi deux trous 42 de diamètre
supérieur au diamètre des vis 32 afin de permettre, après fixation, le vissage
d'écrous 44 (ou, en variante, de papillons) sur les vis 32 en accédant sous la
plage 40.The
Avant de procéder à la fixation du réservoir 2 sur la cuvette 34, la plaque
12 est fixée de façon amovible au réservoir 2, sous le fond de celui-ci, les
chevilles et les vis ayant été au préalable placées respectivement sur les
languettes 24 et dans les encoches 30 par coulissement respectivement de leur
tête creuse 26 et de leur collet carré 31. Puis, on enfile le joint d'étanchéité 37
autour de la partie cylindrique 18 de l'écrou 16, pour constituer alors un premier
équipage solidaire du réservoir 2.Before fixing the
L'opération de fixation est alors très simple : on amène le réservoir
équipé comme décrit plus haut au-dessus de la plage 40 de la cuvette, en
mettant en correspondance l'axe de l'écrou 16 et celui du trou 36, et en plaçant
les chevilles 28 et les vis 32 respectivement face aux trous 41 et aux trous 42. Il
suffit alors d'appuyer sur le réservoir 2 verticalement de haut en bas. Le centrage
est assuré automatiquement par pénétration du joint 37 dans le trou 36, les
lèvres 38 fléchissant vers le haut comme représenté à la figure 4. La fixation est
assurée par la pénétration avec frottement des chevilles annelées 28 dans les
trous 41, comme représenté à la figure 4. Le positionnement final du réservoir sur
la cuvette est obtenu lorsque le fond du réservoir entre en contact avec un rebord
périphérique 46 entourant la plage arrière 40 de la cuvette. La hauteur du rebord
46 est suffisante pour rendre invisibles les éléments constituant lesdits moyens
de liaison de la plaque au réservoir et de fixation du réservoir sur la cuvette.The fixing operation is then very simple: we bring the tank
equipped as described above above the
Lorsque le réservoir est ainsi fixé sur la cuvette 34, il est possible, mais
non nécessaire, d'assurer une fixation complémentaire du réservoir par vissage
des écrous 44 sur les vis 32, en accédant sous la plage arrière de la cuvette.
Bien entendu, si ce vissage est jugé non nécessaire, on peut se passer
totalement des vis 32.When the reservoir is thus fixed on the
L'opération de désolidarisation du réservoir 2 et de la cuvette 34 est
également très simple : en l'absence d'écrous 44 bloquant la fixation, ou après
dévissage de ces écrous, il suffit de tirer sur le réservoir verticalement de bas en
haut, pour extraire par frottement les chevilles 28 des trous 41.The operation of separating the
Il apparaít donc clairement que l'invention, illustrée d'un exemple de mode de réalisation décrit précédemment, permet de créer un ensemble sanitaire dont les opérations de fixation et de désolidarisation du réservoir et de la cuvette sont simples et rapides, tout en préservant les sécurités hydrauliques et la rigidité de l'ensemble sanitaire.It is therefore clear that the invention, illustrated with an example of embodiment described above, creates a sanitary unit including the operations of fixing and detaching the tank and the bowl are simple and fast, while preserving hydraulic safety and rigidity of the sanitary unit.
