Definitions

• the present invention relates to a new mechanical apparatus applied to the toilet flush, more particularly, a device likely to substitute the traditional existing mechanisms with a system intended to diminish the waste of water caused by the common flush.
• washing a toilet piece after use requires mechanisms responsible for liberating a certain load of water, being the most usual ones known .
• a) manual or pedal drive valve which liberates over 5 liters of water held in the hydraulic pipes; or b) overhead cistern or attached cistern, both of which usually store 5 liters of water in average, which are totally discharged into the toilet and lost in the sewer systems.
• Toilets are designed in ceramic material and employ a siphon system permanently filled with water, which is responsible for the non-reflux of gases and odors from the sewer piping. For this reason, the amount of water described above is required to perform the toilet flush, because such an amount fully discharged at once should be able to move the water standing in the siphon, pushing it to the sewer piping and taking the deposited sewage with it.
• the Applicant intending to develop a new toilet cleaning system with a minimum waste of water and cooperating with the economy and preservation of the national reservoirs, has developed the present mechanical apparatus that simplifies the production of toilet molds by discarding the use of a siphon and reduces the amount of water required to approximately 2 liters.
• a hinged dam mechanism was designed to store the minimum of 1 liter of water inside the toilet, so as to block the reflux of gases and odors from the piping system.
• Said dam system comprises a hinged chest in an appropriate bearing opposed to a corresponding weight, which, when activated by a manual or automatic latch to release the flush, it can hinge such dam from its resting position and timely discharge the water to the sewer, causing the dam to return at the same time as it liberates the replenishing valve provided in the water supply pipe or in the overhead cistern, pointing out that it uses only 2 liters of water to replenish for the next flush.
• figure 1 is a side view in schematic section illustrating the apparatus in resting position applied to a toilet with no siphon and with water supply done by a pipe or a cistern; and figure 2 illustrates the same apparatus in flush position.
• the present invention relates to a new "MECHANIC APPARATUS APPLIED TO THE TOILET FLUSH", a mechanic apparatus (1 ) applied to the internal bottom seat (2) of toilets (B) without a siphon, supplied with water from hydraulic pipes (C) or cisterns (R), which, after the discharged caused by the mechanism, flows to the sewer system (E).
• the apparatus According to the present invention, the apparatus
• (1 ) comprises a dam (3), which embodies externally the seat (2) and is presented fixed and resting (figure 1 ) by means of locking devices (4), such as latches, which are released by an external drive (5), such as chains or release buttons, pointing out that said dam (3) contains a hinge point (6) with a corresponding counterweight (7).
• locking devices (4) such as latches, which are released by an external drive (5), such as chains or release buttons, pointing out that said dam (3) contains a hinge point (6) with a corresponding counterweight (7).
• Said dam (3) when locked and resting, can keep approximately 2 liters of water inside the toilet.
• the innovative apparatus (1) prevents the reflux of gases from the sewer pipes, and promotes considerable water saving, qualifying for a more optimized system.
