Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cover assembly for an inspection opening, in particular a wall inspection opening, of a lavatory.
  • Lavatory flush tanks which are recessed or built into a wall; the flush control devices are wall-mounted with the actuating members extending through an inspection opening formed in the wall; and the inspection opening is closed by a cover assembly which generally comprises a frame fixed to the wall, a plate fixed removably to the frame and fitted with control buttons, and a lock member which can be activated to secure or release the plate to or from the frame.
  • the cover assembly according to the invention is extremely straightforward and therefore cheap to produce and easy to assemble, while at the same time being fully efficient and reliable.
  • Number 1 in Figures 1 and 2 indicates as a whole a cover assembly for an inspection opening of a lavatory, in particular a wall inspection opening for a flush tank flush valve control device.
  • Cover assembly 1 comprises a frame 2; a plate 3 fixable removably to frame 2; and a reversible fastening device 4 for fixing plate 3 removably to frame 2.
  • Frame 2 is fixable in known manner, e.g. by means of screws (not shown) inserted inside holes 6, to a wall in which the inspection opening to be closed is formed (e.g. the front wall of the cavity in which the flush tank is housed).
  • Plate 3 has a peripheral edge 7 perpendicular to plate 3, and is fitted with a pushbutton 8 hinged in known manner to an inner surface 9 of plate 3 and housed inside a window 10 formed through plate 3.
  • pushbutton 8 cooperates with known actuating members (not shown) to activate the flush valve.
  • Fastening device 4 comprises a number of teeth projecting from edge 7 of plate 3, and which engage respective lock seats 12 formed in a peripheral border 13 of frame 2. More specifically, teeth 11 are inserted inside respective lock seats 12 in a predetermined direction D and, in particular, in a downward movement; and a bottom portion 14 of border 13 has flexible members 15 which cooperate with a bottom portion 16 of edge 7 to permit engagement of respective lock seats 12 by teeth 11.
  • Fastening device 4 also comprises a lock member 20, which can be activated to secure plate 3 to frame 2 or release plate 3 from frame 2.
  • lock member 20 extends along an axis A parallel to direction D, is substantially T-shaped, and comprises a cylindrical stem 21 from which a substantially prismatic end head 22 projects transversely.
  • Lock member 20 is inserted, so as to rotate about axis A, inside an open-bottomed seat 23 formed in portion 14; and seat 23 has a substantially prismatic, rectangular-section chamber 24 having, at opposite axial ends, an inlet 25 bounded by a substantially rectangular front edge 26, and an end wall 27 in which is formed a through hole 28 housing stem 21 in sliding manner.
  • stem 21 opposite head 22 has transverse retaining tabs 30 which, cooperating with a collar 31 bounding hole 28, prevent withdrawal of lock member 20 from seat 23.
  • stem 21 has a longitudinal slit 32 allowing the two portions of stem 21 separated by slit 32 to flex towards each other; and stem 21 has two diametrically opposite, longitudinal ribs 34 extending from end 29 to a predetermined distance from head 22, and which are inserted inside hole 28.
  • Stem 21 is of such a length that, when tabs 30 contact collar 31, head 22 is outside chamber 24, beyond front edge 26.
  • head 22 On the opposite side to stem 21, head 22 has a tool seat 37, e.g. a hexagonal dead hole, into which a tool, e.g. an Allen wrench, is insertable.
  • a tool e.g. an Allen wrench
  • portion 16 of edge 7 of plate 3 has an access hole 38 aligned with tool seat 37 along axis A of stem 21, and into which the tool for manoeuvring lock member 20 is insertable.
  • Lock member 20 is movable between a lock position, in which lock member 20 secures plate 3 to frame 2, and a release position, in which lock member 20 permits movement of plate 3 with respect to frame 2 in direction D, so as to release teeth 11 from respective lock seats 12 and so remove plate 3 from frame 2.
  • Head 22 is shaped so as to be insertable inside seat 23 (more specifically, inside chamber 24) when lock member 20 is in the release position, and to be located outside seat 23 and interposed between front edge 26 of seat 23 and edge 7 of plate 3, when lock member 20 is in the lock position.
  • lock member 20 is interposed between edge 7 of plate 3 and a stop member 40 carried by frame 2 to prevent movement of plate 3 with respect to frame 2 in direction D.
  • stop member 40 is defined by front edge 26 of seat 23; and opposite, respectively bottom and top, surfaces 41, 42 of head 22 rest against edge 7 of plate 3 and front edge 26 (i.e. stop member 40) respectively.
  • lock member 20 In the release position, as shown by the dash line in Figures 3 and 4, lock member 20 is slidable axially inside seat 23 along axis A, and therefore parallel to direction D, to allow plate 3 to slide in direction D with respect to frame 2. As lock member 20 slides inside seat 23, elastic member 36 comes into contact with end wall 27, and further slide of lock member 20 is effected in opposition to elastic member 36.
  • Lock member 20 is set to the lock position or release position by rotating head 22 ninety degrees using the tool inserted inside tool seat 37 through access hole 38.
  • Rotation of head 22 is limited by blocks 43, e.g. carried by front edge 26 of seat 23 and so located as to limit rotation of head 22 to two perpendicular positions.
  • Cover assembly 1 is installed as follows.
  • Frame 2 is fixed to the wall, about the inspection opening, in known manner, e.g. by means of screws inserted inside holes 6.
  • Plate 3 is then fitted upwards in direction D to frame 2 by forcing flexible members 15; since lock member 20 is in the release position, edge 7 of plate 3 cooperates with and pushes head 22 (which is initially outside chamber 24) into seat 23 in opposition to elastic member 36; the sliding movement of lock member 20 inside seat 23 allows plate 3 to move with respect to frame 2; plate 3 moves in direction D in opposition to flexible members 15 until teeth 11 engage respective lock seats 12; and elastic member 36 expels head 22 from chamber 24, beyond front edge 26.
  • lock member 20 is set to the release position using the tool (by rotating the lock member 90° in the opposite direction to before).
  • edge 7 cooperates with and pushes head 22 to push lock member 20 inside seat 23, thus releasing teeth 11 from lock seats 12 to remove plate 3 from frame 2.
