Definitions

  • the present patent application for industrial invention relates to a toilet seat with cover made of soft hygienic plastic materials, such as EVA.
  • toilet seats are normally made of rigid plastic materials and although capable of providing correct operation, they are partially impaired by the material rigidity.
  • toilet seats are quite uncomfortable and cold for their users, as well as quite noisy and fragile due the impact with the hard ceramic of the toilet bowl.
  • EVA is a closed-cell material and therefore it does not absorb liquids of any kind.
  • two small brackets are vertically positioned on the rear edge of ceramic toilet bowls in order to fix the seat.
  • the brackets are centrally perforated in their upper part.
  • a pin with horizontal axis is normally inserted through the holes located on the upper part of the brackets. The passage of the pin through the holes located on the rear edge of the seat ensures the stable fixing of the seat to the brackets mounted on the toilet bowl, with the possibility of lifting up the seat.
  • the rear edge of the seat according to the present invention and the rear edge of the cover are fastened by a suitable longitudinal piece of rigid plastic (a "rib") that features a “C-shaped” transversal cross-section and incorporates perforated orecchiole in edgewise position on the back.
  • a rib suitable longitudinal piece of rigid plastic
  • the location and the height of the orecchiole are such that their holes are close and perfectly aligned with the holes of the brackets fixed to the toilet bowl. This allows for inserting one or more pins with horizontal axis into the aligned holes located on the orecchiole of the seat and the cover and on the brackets fixed to the toilet bowl.
  • An alternative embodiment provides for the realisation of a duct with circular cross-section and horizontal axis on the back of the seat (in reality the duct is partially realised on the body of the seat and partially on the body of the cover).
  • the upper perforated end of the two brackets fixed to the ceramic toilet bowl is inserted into the duct so that the holes of the brackets are perfectly aligned with the horizontal duct located on the seat and the cover.
  • the seat according to the present invention and its cover can be fixed to the toilet bowl by means of a pin with circular cross-section, capable of simultaneously inserting into the horizontal duct located on the back of the seat and into the holes of the brackets inserted in the duct.
  • the EVA seat (1) is characterised by the fact that the rear rectilinear edge (1a) and the rear rectilinear edge (2a) of the cover (2) are fastened along the entire length by means of suitable longitudinal pieces (3 and 4), from which pairs of rounded bodies (5 and 6) with holes (5a and 6a) protrude in edgewise position in order to engage with the two perforated brackets (S) that are vertically fixed on the rear edge of the toilet bowl.
  • each longitudinal piece (3 and 4) is made up of two elements that are matched by means of screws (V) with vertical axis.
  • the first element is a profile (3a and 4a) with "L-shaped" transversal cross-section and its horizontal wing engages against the upper side of the seat (1) and the cover (2), while its vertical wing engages against the rear of the seat (1) and the cover (2).
  • Some internally threaded bushes (3b and 4b) are located under the horizontal wing of the profile (3a and 4a) and inserted into the upper opening section of vertical through holes (1b and 2b) drilled on the EVA structure of the seat (1) and the cover (2).
  • the second element consists in a plate (3c and 4c) having approximately the same length of the horizontal wing of the profile (3a and 4a), which engages against the lower side of the seat (1) and the cover (2).
  • Each plate (3c and 4c) features holes (3d and 4d) located in corresponding positions with respect to the threaded bushes (3b and 4b) under the horizontal wing of the profile (3a and 4a). Once the plates (3c and 4c) have been positioned, the holes (3d and 4d) of the plates (3c and 4c) are perfectly aligned with the lower opening of the vertical holes (1b and 2b) drilled on the EVA structure of the seat (1) and the cover (2).
  • each longitudinal piece (3 and 4) match and firmly hold the rear edge of the seat (1) or the cover (2) by means of suitable screws (V).
  • Each screw (V) is inserted from below into one of the holes drilled on the plates (3c and 4c) and subsequently into the vertical hole (1b and 2b) drilled on the EVA structure of the seat (1) or the cover (2), until it engages with the bush (3b and 4b) of the longitudinal piece (3 and 4) inserted into the upper section of the hole (1b and 2b) drilled on the EVA structure.
  • Fig. 2 shows the position of the two pairs of perforated round bodies (5 and 6) protruding from the back of the longitudinal piece (3) fixed on the seat (1) and from the back of the longitudinal piece (4) fixed on the cover (2), with respect to the perforated brackets (S) fixed to the ceramic toilet bowl.
  • the round bodies (5) of the seat (1) touch the internal side of the brackets (S)
  • the round bodies (6) of the cover (2) touch the external side of the brackets (S).
  • each bracket (S) fixed to the toilet bowl remains between two perforated round bodies: the first body (5) protruding from the back of the seat (1) and the second body (6) protruding from the cover (2).
  • Fig. 2 also shows that, once the seat according to the present invention has been installed on the toilet bowl, the holes (5a and 6a) of the round bodies (5 and 6) and the holes of the fixing brackets (S) are perfectly aligned horizontally, so that the insertion of a pin through the holes allows for joining each bracket (S) of the toilet bowl with the round body (5) of the seat (1) and the round body (6) of the cover (2).
  • the seat according to the present invention has also been designed with a different constructive version, which is equivalent to the one described above, in which the connection between the seat and the fixing brackets (S) of the toilet bowl is obtained by means of a pin with horizontal axis.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show that in this case the rear edge of the seat (11) features a central cavity (11a) capable of housing a border (12a) which is centrally located under the rear edge of the cover (12).
  • the length of the cavity (11a) of the seat (11) is such that - once the entire manufacture has been installed on the toilet bowl - the cavity can house the two brackets (S) protruding from the toilet bowl at its ends and the border (12a) of the cover (12) in the long space comprised between the two brackets (S).
  • the duct with circular cross-section (12b) located in horizontal transversal position along the entire length of the border (12a) of the cover (12) is perfectly aligned with two shorter ducts (11b) with identical circular cross-section, located on the back of the seat (11) on the right and left of the central cavity (11 a).
  • Figs. 4, 5 and 6 show that the ducts (11b and 12b) are perfectly aligned horizontally with the holes located on the upper part of the two brackets (S) of the toilet bowl.
  • the presence of a pin with horizontal axis, having appropriate length in order to be simultaneously inserted into the ducts (11b and 12b) and into the two holes of the brackets (S) ensures the stable connection of the seat (11) and the cover (12) with the brackets (S) fixed to the ceramic toilet bowl.
