Definitions
- the invention relates to a toilet cover assembly including at least a seat and/or a cover and a hinge arrangement including two studs adapted to be mounted mutually spaced on a toilet bowl in an upright position and two blocks provided with receiving holes for receiving the studs, said blocks each including a first hinge member of hinge connection provided between the blocks and the seat and comprising a hinge pin member and a hinge eye member, the other hinge member thereof being firmly secured to the seat or the cover, said hinge connections defining an axis of rotation perpendicular to the studs, the hinge members being mutually pivotal about said axis between positions corresponding to the lowered and raised position of the seat.
- US 6.101.640 discloses toilet seat assembly of the above type, wherein the studs are in releasable snap engagement with the receiving holes of the blocks, the snap engagement being provided by means of a spring-loaded ball arranged in the studs and engaging a corresponding radial recess in the receiving hole.
- the object of the invention is to provide a toilet cover assembly of the above type, in which the blocks are securely locked to the studs in the lowered position of the seat and releasable therefrom without using a separate tool.
- each stud and hinge connection have co-acting locking means being in mutual locking engagement in a first relative pivot range between the first and the second hinge mem- bers (ie a first pivot range of the seat or the cover) to prevent the blocks (and thus the seat or cover) from being detached from the studs, said first pivot range including the pivot position corresponding to the lowered position of the seat or the cover, and in a second relative pivot position or pivot range between the first and second hinge members said locking means being in mutual releasable engagement or disengage- ment to allow detachment of the blocks (and thus the seat or cover) from the studs.
- the mutual locking engagement of the locking means in the first relative pivot range which includes the pivot position corresponding to the lowered position of the seat, prevents a detachment of the blocks from the studs and thus a removal of the seat in its lowered position, in which position the seat is subjected to the highest load.
- the blocks are easily detachable from the studs in the second relative pivot position by exerting an axially upward force on the block in relation to the studs.
- the studs have an advantageous circular cross-section and are provided with a circumferential groove. As a result it is not necessary to adopt measures for positioning the studs pivotally correctly on the toilet bowl.
- the co-acting locking means may include a peripheral groove provided in the stud, especially a circumferential groove, a locking member displaceably arranged in an opening provided in the blocks, said opening radially ending in the receiving hole of the blocks, and a cam means arranged on the second hinge member and provided with a cam face having a first cam face portion co- acting with the locking member in the first pivot range of the second hinge member so as to retain the locking member in locking engagement with the groove of the stud and a second cam face portion allowing the locking member to be released from its engagement position in a second pivot position or pivot range of the second hinge member.
- a spring means acting on the locking member in the direction towards its engagement position is provided.
- the locking member engages the groove in any pivot position of the second hinge member and an engagement portion of the locking member and the groove of the stud are provided with surfaces co-acting so as to displace the locking member out of its engagement position, when the block is subjected to an axially outward force, whereby the block may be released from the stud in the second pivot position of the second hinge member when subjected to a first outward releasing force.
- This embodiment of the invention is advantageous in that the block is always secured to the stud by means of a force corresponding to the first releasing force, thus preventing an unintentional detachment of the block from the pin in the release position of the seat.
- the embodiment is also advantageous in that it provides an au- dible click as the locking member snaps into engagement with the groove when the block is mounted on the stud, thus ensuring that the block is mounted correctly on the stud.
- the spring means may be firmly secured to the locking member, optionally integrally formed therewith, eg by means of the spring wire.
- the cam face of the cam means may have a third pivot position or pivot range of the second hinge member, in which it co-acts with the spring means such that a releasing force in excess of the first releasing force is required to detach the block from the stud.
- the said third pivot position or pivot range is advantageously chosen adjacent the second pivot position or pivot range. Consequently the block can still be detached from the stud when the hinge members have not adopted their second relative pivot position, but their third relative pivot position. As a result some security against maloperation of and damage to the toilet cover assembly is obtained, if attempts are made to remove the seat when it is not in the pivot position corresponding to the second relative pivot position.
- the said relative pivot positions seen in relation to the position of the seat may in principle may chosen freely except for the pivot position corresponding to the lowered position of the seat having to be within the first pivot range. It is, however, preferred that the first pivot range covers the majority of the pivot range between the lowered and raised positions of the seat. It is furthermore preferred that the second pivot range allowing the block to be released from the stud is within a range corresponding to the raised position of the seat, eg the seat being turned 80 to 100° upwards from its lowered position.
- first hinge member provided on the block may be a hinge pin member and the second hinge member being firmly secured to the seat may be a hinge eye member.
- the cam means may be an annular member on the hinge eye member circumscribing the hinge pin and provided with cam faces extending axially in relation to the axis of rotation. This allows for a compact design of the block by placing the axis of rotation such that it intersects the axis of the stud.
- the spring means may be a spring washer arranged around the hinge pin and between the locking member and the cam face.
- the spring means may be provided in a diametrically through-going recess in the hinge pin member.
- the first hinge member provided on the block may be a hinge eye member and the second hinge member being firmly secured to the seat may be a hinge pin member.
- cam means on the hinge pin member may be provided with cam faces radially extending in relation to the axis of rotation.
- the first hinge member provided on the block is a hinge eye member and the second hinge member be- ing firmly secured to the seat is a hinge pin member, the axis of rotation being arranged such that the hinge pin member intersects the receiving hole of the block and thus the stud tangentially and that in the intersecting area with the receiving hole the hinge pin member and the stud are provided with a recess and a groove, respectively, shaped such that the groove and the non-recessed area of the hinge pin member form the co-acting locking means.

- Fig. 8 is a sectional view along the line VIII- VIII in Fig. 7, and wherein the seat and cover are also shown, the seat being in its lowered position, whereas it in Figs. 6 and 7 is shown in its raised position,
- Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view through a fourth embodiment of a toilet cover assembly according to the invention.
- Fig. 10 is an isometric exploded view of parts of the toilet cover assembly shown in Fig. 9.
- the toilet cover assembly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 includes a seat 1 and a cover 2 which by means of a hinge arrangement are adapted to be mounted on a toilet bowl 3.
- the hinge arrangement includes two brackets 4 each being provided with a bracket plate 5 and a bracket stud 6 extending perpendicularly from the bracket plate 5.
- the bracket is secured by the bracket plate in a known manner to the toilet bowl 4 by means of a screw/nut connection of which only the screw is shown.
- the bracket stud 6, which has a circular cross section, is provided with a circumferential groove 7 7 adjacent its upper end.
- the bracket stud 6 is provided with a bevelling 8 at its upper end.
- each bracket further includes a block 9 with a head 14 provided with a receiving hole 10 for receiving the upper end of the bracket stud 6.
- Each block 9 is provided with a hinge pin 11 projecting from the head 14.
- a seat hinge eye 12 and a cover hinge eye 13 firmly secured to the seat 1 and the cover 2, respectively, are pivotally arranged on each hinge pin 11.
- Fig. 2 in which the seat and the cover are not shown, it is indicated that the seat hinge eye 12 and the cover hinge eye 13 are secured to the seat and the cover, respectively, by means of screwing.
- a shoulder 15 is provided between the head 14 and hinge pin 11 of the block 9.
- the end face 16 of the seat hinge eye 12 facing the head 14 is retained in engagement with the shoulder 15 by means of a locking ring 17 arranged in a groove in the hinge pin.
- a depression 18 is provided in the end face 16.
- An annular disc 19 is provided in this depression, said disc being firmly secured to the bottom of the depression of the seat hinge eye 12, eg by adhesion. A portion of the disc 19 has been cut away such that a cavity is formed thereby at the bottom of the depression 18. This cavity does not appear from Fig. 1.
- a spring washer 20 is provided on the annular disc 19.
- In the shoulder of the block 9 a bore 21 is provided extending into the receiving hole 10 of the block.
- a locking pin 22 is displaceably arranged in the bore 21. At a first end 24 the locking pin 22 rests on the spring washer 20 and at a second end 23 the locking pin 22 extends into the circumferential groove 7 of the bracket stud 6.
- the disc 19 supports the spring washer 20 in the area on which the first end 24 of the pin 22 rests.
- the second end 23 of the pin 22 is retained in non-releasable engagement with the circumferential groove 7 of the bracket stud 6.
- the cut-away portion of the annular disc 19 is situated opposite the pin 22, as shown in Fig. 2, in which the seat is shown in its raised position.
- the annular disc 19 does thus not support the spring washer 20.
- the spring washer bends outwards and downwards into the cavity formed at the bottom of the depression 18 and the cut-away portion of the annular disc 19.
- the annular disc 19 thus forms a cam means, the surface or cam face thereof facing the pin defining a locking position, in which the pin is retained in locking engagement with the groove of the stud, the cut-away portion thereof forming a second cam face, where the pin can be brought out of and into engagement with the groove.
- the force required for disengaging the locking pin depends on the position of the first end 24 of the pin in the cut-away portion.
- the force which the spring washer exerts on the pin is thus lowest in the middle of the cut-away portion and increases gradually towards the ends thereof, ie. in the direction towards the cam face of the disc. Consequently, the force required for pulling the seat upwards to remove the blocks from the studs is also lowest when the pin is positioned in the middle of the cut-away portion and increases gradually towards the cam face of the disc, where a release no longer is possible.
- the toilet cover assembly shown in Figs. 3-5 includes a seat 31 and a cover 32 pivotally connected to a toilet bowl 33 by means of a hinge arrangement including two mutually spaced apart brackets 34 each having a bracket plate 35 and a bracket stud 36 projecting vertically from the plate.
- the bracket studs 36 have a circular cross section and are provided with a circumferential groove 37 adjacent their upper ends and a bevelling 38 at their upper ends.
- the hinge arrangement further includes a block 39 with a block head 44 provided with a receiving hole 40 for receiving the stud 36.
- a hinge pin 41 projects from the head 44.
- a shoulder 45 is provided between the head 44 and the hinge pin 41.
- the hinge pins jointly define the axis of rotation of the hinge arrangement.
- the hinge pin 41 is provided with a diagonal recess 50 extending parallel to the receiving hole 40. The bottom of the recess is in the same plane as the shoulder 45.
- An opening 51 extending to the receiving hole 40 is provided in the bottom. The opening 51 is arranged to be flush with the groove 37, when the receiving hole of the block is arranged on the stud 36.
- a locking means in form of a locking pin 52 is displaceably received in the opening 51.
- the locking pin 52 is connected with a L- shaped spring 53 being attached to the bottom of the block at its upper end, as shown by means of the screw 54.
- An engagement end 55 of the locking pin 52 extends into the receiving hole 40 and thus into the groove 37 of the stud 36 when the stud is received in the receiving hole 40.
- a sleeve 46 is pivotally arranged on the hinge pin 41, said sleeve being retained in axial direction between the shoulder 45 and a locking ring 47 engaged in an annular groove 48 in a portion 49 of the hinge pin of a reduced diameter.
- the locking ring 47 abuts the outer face of an inner annular rib 56 on the sleeve 46.
- the surface of the rib 56 axially facing the head 44 is shaped as an annular cam face with an axially protruding portion 58 and an axially recessed portion 57. This cam face is not visible in Fig. 5.
- the protruding cam face portion 58 does, however, appear from Fig. 3, while the recessed cam face portion 57 appears from Fig. 4.
- the seat 31 is provided with two aligned and mutually spaced apart receiving openings 42 and 43.
- the sleeve 46 of a block 39 is received non-pivotally, the sleeve 46 being provided with a projection 59 received in a corresponding groove 60 in the openings 42 and 43, respectively.
- the seat 31 is thus pivotally arranged on the hinge pins 41 via the sleeves 46.
- the toilet cover assembly is further provided with rotational dampers for damping the movement of the seat and cover from their raised to their lowered position.
- the dampers 61, 62 each has a shaft 63 of a non-circular cross section and a damper housing provided with a first portion 64 of a circular cross section and a second portion 65, wherein the circular cross section is provided with two opposed plane faces providing the second portion 65 with a non-circular cross section.
- the shaft 63 of the first damper 61 is non-pivotally received in the diagonal recess 50 of the hinge pin 41 shown on the right-hand side in the figures.
- the damper housing extends through an opening 66 in the seat 31 having an area of a cross section corresponding to the second non-circular area 65 of the damper housing such that the damper housing is interlocked with the seat 31.
- the damper housing further extends into a blind hole 67 in the cover 32, said blind hole having a diameter corresponding to that of the dam- per housing.
- the housing of the first damper thus forms the hinge axis for the cover 32.
- the damper 61 shown on the right-hand side in Figs. 3 and 4 thus provides a damping of the seat 31, but no damping of the cover 32.
- the damper 62 shown on the left-hand side in Figs. 3 and 4 has the same shape as the damper 61. However, its damper shaft is non-pivotally retained in the diagonal recess 50 of the hinge pin 41.
- the damper housing extends through a through-going opening 68 in the seat 31 of the same diameter as the damper housing, while the second non-rotational-symmetrical portion 65 of the damper housing extends into a blind hole 70 of a corresponding cross section in the cover 32.
- the damper 62 shown on the left-hand side in Figs. 3 and 4 thus provides a damping of the cover 32, but no damping of the seat 31.
- the recessed cam face portion 57 of the cam face is, however, positioned opposite the inner end 69 of the locking pin 52 (confer Fig. 4) such that the locking pin 52 is axially outwardly displaced in a corresponding manner as explained with reference to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, when the seat and thus the block 39 are subjected to an axially upward force in relation to the stud 36.
- the seat 31 and the cover 32 may be detached from the toilet bowl, when the seat is in a substantially vertical position.
- the locking pin automatically engages the groove 37, when the receiving holes 40 of the blocks are made to re-engage the bracket studs 36.
- the third embodiment of a toilet cover assembly according to the invention shown in Figs. 6-8 further includes a seat 71, a cover 72 and two brackets 74, of which only one is shown in the figures, said brackets being adapted to be secured to a toilet bowl.
