Definitions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a sanitary unit comprising two parts, namely a flush tank and a toilet bowl, provided fixing means from one to the other, characterized in that said means of fasteners include male and female components some of which are integral with the bowl and the others with the tank, the male elements fitting together in female elements with friction.
- a sanitary unit according to the invention allows the sort of control said fixing means either by simple pressure, without requiring of screwing, for a fixing operation, either by simple traction, without require unscrewing, for an uncoupling operation.
- the invention also relates to a flush tank and a toilet bowl for a sanitary unit as described above.
- the sanitary assembly shown in Figure 1 according to a mode of preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a tank 2 for flushing cover 3, at the bottom of which a hole is drilled 4.
- This hole has a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the base 6 of a valve base 8 cylindrical flushing mechanism, but less than the diameter of the upper part of the base 8, said mechanism not being described here.
- An organ sealing ring 10 is placed around the base 6 between the upper part of the base 8 and the bottom 9 of the tank 2.
- a plate 12 advantageously chosen from a rigid material such as of stainless steel, is drilled in its center with a hole 14 in diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the base 6 and substantially equal to the diameter of the hole 4.
- This plate 12 is placed under the bottom of the tank 2 by making coincide the axes of the holes 4 and 14. In addition, the dimensions of the plate 12 are smaller than the dimensions of this background.
- connection of the plate 12 and the tank 2 is ensured by screwing a nut 16 for tightening on the base 6, the nut 16 further comprising a part 18 lower forming a hollow cylindrical extension of water evacuation with wall smooth exterior. Sealing is ensured by crushing the organ sealing ring 10 between the upper part of the base 8 and the bottom of the tank 2, as well as possibly by crushing two seals sealing plates 20 and 22 annular, placed respectively between the tank 2 and the plate 12 on the one hand, between the plate 12 and the nut 16 on the other hand, around the base 6.
- the plate 12 has four tabs 24 arranged at its four angles, on which thread the hollow square heads 26, that is to say crossed by a horizontal passage, corrugated dowels 28, preferably in plastic material.
- the plate 12 further comprises two notches 30 parallel to the tabs 24, intended to receive screws 32 with collar square 31.
- Six recesses 33 shown in FIG. 2 are provided under the bottom of the tank 2 to receive with play the heads of the fixing dowels 28 and the heads of the screws 32. These recesses are located above the tabs 24 and the notches 30 after connection of the plate 12 and the reservoir 2, in order to allow at pins 28 and screws 32, respectively, to slide along the tabs 24, respectively of the notches 30.
- the sanitary unit also includes a toilet bowl 34.
- This has in its upper part a hole 36 of markedly diameter higher than that of the lower part 18 of the nut 16, the latter being intended to penetrate into hole 36.
- a cylindrical lip seal 37 made of material flexible such as rubber, is placed around part 18 as shown in Figure 3.
- the lips 38 are circular flanges of larger diameter to the diameter of the hole 36.
- the tightening of the seal 37 on the part 18 is ensured by a slightly negative clearance between their respective inside and outside diameters, and its axial positioning by an inner flange 39 which abuts against the lower end edge of the extension 18 of the nut 16.
- the bowl 34 also includes, in its rear shelf 40, four holes 41 whose diameter is less than the maximum diameter of the pins 28 so allow the pins 28 to fit into the holes 41 with friction.
- the area 40 of the bowl also includes two holes 42 of diameter greater than the diameter of the screws 32 in order to allow, after fixing, the screwing nuts 44 (or, alternatively, butterflies) on the screws 32 by accessing under the track 40.
- the plate 12 Before fixing the tank 2 on the bowl 34, the plate 12 is removably attached to the tank 2, under the bottom thereof, the dowels and screws having been previously placed respectively on the tabs 24 and in the notches 30 by sliding respectively from their hollow head 26 and their square collar 31. Then, thread the seal 37 around the cylindrical part 18 of the nut 16, to then constitute a first crew attached to the tank 2.
- the fixing operation is then very simple: we bring the tank equipped as described above above the range 40 of the bowl, in matching the axis of the nut 16 and that of the hole 36, and placing the pins 28 and the screws 32 respectively facing the holes 41 and the holes 42. It then just press the tank 2 vertically from top to bottom. Centering is ensured automatically by penetration of the seal 37 into the hole 36, the lips 38 bending upward as shown in Figure 4. The attachment is ensured by the penetration with friction of the ringed ankles 28 in the holes 41, as shown in Figure 4. The final positioning of the tank on the bowl is obtained when the bottom of the tank comes into contact with a rim peripheral 46 surrounding the rear shelf 40 of the bowl. The height of the ledge 46 is sufficient to make the elements constituting said means invisible connecting the plate to the tank and fixing the tank to the bowl.
- the operation of separating the tank 2 and the bowl 34 is also very simple: in the absence of nuts 44 blocking the attachment, or after unscrewing these nuts, just pull the tank vertically from bottom to high, to extract by friction the pins 28 from the holes 41.
- 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.
