Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Klosettedeckels.2 shows a side view of a toilet lid according to the invention.
Die Fig. 3 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Klosettdeckel.3 shows a longitudinal section through a toilet lid according to the invention.
Die Fig. 4 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Außenseite eines erfindungsgemäßen Klosett- deckeis.FIG. 4 shows a top view of the outside of a toilet ceiling according to the invention.
Die Fig. 5 zeigt die Außenseite des geschlossenen Klosettdeckels.Fig. 5 shows the outside of the closed toilet lid.
Die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Kloschale und des Klosettdeckels in derFig. 6 shows a side view of a toilet bowl and the toilet lid in the
Massagestellung.Massage position.
Die Fig. 7 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Klosettschale und des Klosettdeckels, wobei der Klosettdeckel geschlossen gezeichnet ist.FIG. 7 shows a side view of a toilet bowl and the toilet lid, the toilet lid being drawn closed.
Der erfindungsgemäße Klosettdeckel 1 ist mittels eines Scharnieres 2 oder zweier Scharniere 2 zusammen mit einer Klobrille 3 an einer Klosettschale 4 montiert.The toilet lid 1 according to the invention is mounted on a toilet bowl 4 by means of a hinge 2 or two hinges 2 together with a toilet seat 3.
Das Scharnier 2 ist im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Klosettdeckelscharnieren nach oben versetzt, was zu einer Vorverlagerung des unteren Deckelbereiches im aufgeklappten Zustand des Klosettdeckels 1 führt. In der Folge wird eine optimale Sitzposition während der Massage erreicht.The hinge 2 is offset upwards in comparison to conventional toilet lid hinges, which leads to a forward displacement of the lower lid area when the toilet lid 1 is open. As a result, an optimal sitting position is achieved during the massage.
Vorteilhaft ist das Scharnier 2 bzw. sind die Scharniere 2 vibrationsgedämpft. Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich, ist der Klosettdeckel 1 mit einer seitlichen Wand 14 schalenförmig ausgeführt, die zusammen mit der seitlichen Wand 14 Aufnahmekammern 6 für Massagekissen 7, 8, 9 abgrenzen.The hinge 2 or the hinges 2 are advantageously vibration-damped. As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2, the lavatory cover 1 has a shell-like design with a side wall 14 which, together with the side wall 14, delimit receiving chambers 6 for massage cushions 7, 8, 9.

Am vorderen Ende der Außenseite ist im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2 und 3 ein Abstandshalter 12 vorgesehen, der mit dem Klosettdeckel 1 verklebt, verschraubt oder auch durch eine Steckverbindung verbunden sein kann. Vorteilhaft können Abstandhalter 12 unterschiedlicher Höhe vorgesehen sein, damit die Deckelneigung in der Massageposition individuell einstellbar ist.At the front end of the outside in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, a spacer 12 is provided, which can be glued to the toilet lid 1, screwed or connected by a plug connection. Spacers 12 of different heights can advantageously be provided so that the lid inclination can be individually adjusted in the massage position.
Wie aus der Fig. 5 ersichtlich, können auch ein oder mehrere Abstandhalter 15 an der Rückwand 16 des Klosettdeckels 1 vorgesehen sein. Die Abstandhalter 15 stützen sich bei geöffnetem Klosettdeckel 1 an der Klosettschale 4 ab.As can be seen from FIG. 5, one or more spacers 15 can also be provided on the rear wall 16 of the toilet lid 1. The spacers 15 are supported on the toilet bowl 4 when the toilet lid 1 is open.
