Abstract

The toilet has a seat (10) and lid (11) which are hinged on to one side of the toilet bowl (2). The cistern (3) has a recess (5) containing a spray outlet (6) operated by a button (8) on the cistern. This washes the front of the cistern and back of the toilet bowl, removing urine splashes produced by males urinating.

Description

Dans les w.c. actuels, on a constaté la présence d'un grave problème de nettoyage et par conséquent d'un foyer important d'infection et de mauvaises odeurs, en particulier lors de l'utilisation du w.c. par les hommes pour uriner, projetant, de manière involontaire, l'urine en dehors de la cuvette après avoir soulevé l'abattant et le couvercle.In current w.c., the presence of a serious cleaning problem and therefore a major focus of infection and bad odors, especially when using w.c. by men to urinate, involuntarily projecting urine out of the bowl after lifting the flap and the cover.

L'urine tombe sur la partie postérieure de la cuvette à l'endroit même où est fixé l'abattant à la cuvette du w.c.Urine drops on the back of the cuvette the same place where the toilet seat is attached to the toilet bowl.

Le nettoyage immédiat de cette urine est pratiquement impossible, notamment dans les w.c. d'établissements publics où leur usage est fréquent, comme dans les bars, les cafétérias, les restaurants, les cinémas, etc.Immediate cleaning of this urine is practically impossible, especially in the w.c. of public establishments where their use is common, such as in bars, cafeterias, restaurants, cinemas, etc.

On constate d'autre part que le nettoyage de cette partie à charnière du w.c. n'est pas pratique car il y a peu d'espace, l'urine s'accumule donc sur ces pièces et les fixations ainsi que sur le joint du réservoir d'eau et de la cuvette, ce qui provoque de très mauvaises odeurs et l'apparition de germes, arrivant même sur certains matériaux à abímer et oxyder les propres charnières de fixation de l'abattant.We note on the other hand that the cleaning of this part to hinge of the w.c. is not practical because there is little space, urine collects so on these parts and fixings as well as on the water tank gasket and from the bowl, which causes very bad odors and the appearance of germs, even arriving on certain materials to damage and oxidize their own flap fixing hinges.

Ce problème n'a jamais été décrit auparavant et par conséquent aucune solution n'a été proposée.This problem has never been described before and by therefore no solution has been proposed.

Le demandeur a résolu les problèmes mentionnés avec un w.c. muni d'un abattant à multi-positions, réunissant dans son contexte la particularité de disposer de différentes positions pour l'abattant et le couvercle qui ferme la surface de la cuvette, avec une citerne munie d'un pan dans la zone antérieure qui pénètre dans la cuvette et couvre la partie du raccord de la citerne à la cuvette, formant une surface autonettoyante disposant d'un diffuseur et d'un bouton car c'est 1à que l'urine retombe lorsque les hommes urinent debout. The plaintiff resolved the problems mentioned with a w.c. fitted with a multi-position flap, bringing together in its context the particularity of having different positions for the flap and the cover which closes the surface of the bowl, with a tank fitted with a pan in the anterior area which penetrates into the bowl and covers the part of the fitting of the tank to the bowl, forming a self-cleaning surface with a diffuser and a button because this is where the urine falls when men urinate standing.

La présente invention préconise un w.c. muni d'un abattant à multi-positions, avec un w.c., un abattant-siège et une citerne unis de façon conventionnelle formant un ensemble : la citerne dispose d'un bouton poussoir pour l'évacuation et elle est caractérisée par le fait que l'abattant-siège peut pivoter d'un côté ou de l'autre de la cuvette.The present invention recommends a w.c. provided with a flap multi-position, with a w.c., a seat-flap and a tank united so conventional forming a whole: the tank has a push button for evacuation and it is characterized by the fact that the seat cover can rotate to one side or the other of the bowl.

Sur le w.c. objet de l'invention, l'abattant-siège et le couvercle (qui forment l'abattant) sont reliés entre eux au moyen d'une charnière traditionnelle sur le coté inférieur postérieur et l'abattant-siège dispose de charnières qui sont fixées dans les trous sur la zone centrale des côtés supérieurs du w.c. obtenant par conséquent un nettoyage plus facile de la cuvette en permettant de soulever l'abattant sur le côté.On the w.c. object of the invention, the seat and seat cover (which form the flap) are interconnected by means of a traditional hinge on the lower posterior side and the seat flap has hinges which are fixed in the holes on the central area of the top sides of the w.c. thus obtaining easier cleaning of the bowl allowing the flap to be lifted to the side.

Pour compléter la description et en vue d'une meilleure compréhension des caractéristiques de l'invention, deux plans à caractère descriptif mais non limitatif sont joints à la présente description :

  • La figure 1 montre une perspective de l'objet de l'invention, concernant le w.c. perfectionné muni d'un abattant à multi-positions; l'abattant-siège et le couvercle qui se fixent sur les côtés supérieurs n'apparaissent pas sur ce graphique.
  • La figure 2 montre une perspective de l'objet de l'invention représentée sur la figure 1 en position d'utilisation par un usager, homme ou femme assis sur l'abattant-siège.
  • La figure 3 correspond à une perspective de l'invention où l'abattant-siège et le couvercle sont levés pour permettre d'uriner debout dans la cuvette.
  • La figure 4 correspond enfin à l'invention dans une réalisation optionnelle.
    • To complete the description and for a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, two plans of a descriptive but non-limiting nature are attached to this description:
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective of the object of the invention, concerning the improved toilet with a flap with multi-positions; the seat and cover that attach to the upper sides do not appear on this graph.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective of the object of the invention shown in Figure 1 in the position of use by a user, man or woman seated on the seat flap.
  • Figure 3 corresponds to a perspective of the invention where the toilet seat and the cover are raised to allow urination standing in the bowl.
  • Figure 4 finally corresponds to the invention in an optional embodiment.

    • En suivant la figure 1, on peut observer comment le w.c. perfectionné muni d'un abattant à multi-positions est configuré comme un ensemble (1) formé par le w.c. (2) et la citerne (3), les deux éléments étant fabriqués en céramique et reliés entre eux de manière conventionnelle, le w.c. (2) ayant des trous (4) et (4') au centre des côtés supérieurs afin qu'au moyen d'une charnière on puisse y relier le siège (10), le couvercle (11) et l'abattant-siège étant reliés à leur tour par des charnières (12) sur les côtés inférieurs postérieurs de chaque élément alors que le siège (10) grâce aux charnières pertinentes sera fixé sur le côté droit du w.c. (2) en utilisant les trous (4) ou sur le côté gauche du w.c. (2) en utilisant les trous (4").By following figure 1, we can observe how the w.c. with a multi-position flap is configured as a assembly (1) formed by the w.c. (2) and the tank (3), the two elements being made of ceramic and interconnected in a conventional manner, the w.c. (2) having holes (4) and (4 ') in the center of the upper sides so that by means a hinge can be connected to the seat (10), the cover (11) and the seat being in turn connected by hinges (12) on the lower sides rear of each element while the seat (10) thanks to the hinges relevant will be fixed on the right side of the w.c. (2) using the holes (4) or on the left side of the w.c. (2) using the holes (4 ").

    Sur ce même schéma, on observe que la partie avant (5) de la citerne (3) présente une prolongation (p) qui s'adapte à l'intérieur du w.c. (2), éliminant ainsi tous les obstacles pour l'urine qui retombe sur la surface (5) qui est dotée d'un diffuseur d'eau ou atomiseur (6) actionné par un bouton poussoir (7).On this same diagram, we observe that the front part (5) of the tank (3) has an extension (p) which fits inside the w.c. (2), eliminating all obstacles for urine falling on the surface (5) which has a water diffuser or atomizer (6) actuated by a button pusher (7).

    La citerne (3) est équipée d'un bouton classique (8) pour l'évacuation dans la zone interne du w.c. (2).The tank (3) is fitted with a conventional button (8) to the evacuation in the internal area of the toilet (2).

    Selon la figure 3, on observe l'abattant-siège et le couvercle (10) et (11) en position vertical sur le côté droit du w.c. (2) étant reliés par des charnières (13) ; l'abattant-siège (10) a deux protections (14) et (14') sur sa partie inférieure empêchant que la surface du périmètre d'ouverture du w.c. (2) ne s'abíme.According to Figure 3, we can see the seat and the cover (10) and (11) in vertical position on the right side of the w.c. (2) being connected by hinges (13); the seat cover (10) has two protections (14) and (14 ') on its lower part preventing the surface of the opening perimeter of the w.c. (2) is not damaged.

    Sur ce même schéma, on voit comment les charnières (12) permettent la fixation et l'articulation de l'abattant (10) et du couvercle (11).On this same diagram, we see how the hinges (12) allow the fixing and articulation of the flap (10) and the cover (11).

    En option, comme le montre la figure 4, la citerne (3) présente un frontal conventionnel ; le w.c. (2) peut donc être muni des trous (4) et (4") sur les côtés et des trous (4') sur la partie arrière, permettant ainsi la fixation de l'abattant (10) et du couvercle (11) de façon conventionnelle.As an option, as shown in Figure 4, the tank (3) has a conventional front end; the w.c. (2) can therefore be provided with holes (4) and (4 ") on the sides and holes (4 ') on the rear part, thus allowing fixing the flap (10) and the cover (11) in a conventional manner.
