Definitions

  • the technical sector involved in this invention is that of cistern flushing mechanisms, especially for toilet cisterns.
  • ES P9800161/2 and ES P2000002034 have the object of selective cistern flushing, in order to enable appropriate and rational consumption of water for cleaning waste, both held by the same person as this present application.
  • Flushing mechanisms activated to cause flushing are also known, as are systems for double flushing. Certain items of this sort are known on the market with a double cistern, one larger and one smaller, which selectively discharge one amount of water or the other.
  • the applicant for this patent also holds ES P9302624 for a flushing mechanism for cisterns with flushing interruption, formed of an assembly fitted with a dual valve with arms which interrupt the flush, when applied on the flushing mechanism again.
  • the object of this invention is the arrangement of an assembly which, though stemming directly from the previous ones, has a new arrangement so as to allow simple regulation of the discharge level of the partial flush.
  • the mechanism thus simply adapts to any cistern structure, and bearing in mind the variety of cistern designs, as regards size, heights and unevenness of the walls and thus of the volume of each section at different levels of the cistern, enables the amount of liquid discharged on each occasion to be directly adjusted.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the support for the mechanisms and the regulation rod with its float.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the mechanism support and the regulation rod with its float, in an exploded view.
  • Figure 3 shows an external view of the full flushing mechanism in perspective.
  • Figure 4 shows a view of the mechanism support assembly and regulation rod of the external float.
  • Figure 5 shows a joint view of the external float and the regulation rod.
  • Figure 6 shows an exploded view of the rod and external float, with the upper swivel, in exploded view.
  • Figure 7 shows a plan view of the external float.
  • Figure 8 shows a sectional perspective view of the hood and mechanism support.
  • Figure 9 shows an exploded view of the hood and mechanism support without the mechanisms.
  • the invention described is of the sort that form a flushing mechanism whose operating characteristic is that the flushing is performed partially or fully, and that the action determining the type of flushing consists of the greater or lesser pressure with which a button applying pressure to the overflow pipe is pressed.
  • the internal structure of the flushing mechanism is essentially formed of a hood which sustains two floats, 1 and 22, in such a way that these floats are connected to swivels 13 and 21 which have bars 14, 24 for interlocking with part of the overflow pipe so that this pipe, which is joined to the sealing rubber, is freed when the corresponding float 1 or 22 loses floatation through the level in the cistern having dropped.
  • the regulation of the partial flush is enabled by the arrangement of a hood 20 which encloses a set of mechanisms located between this and a mechanism support 28 which is housed by said hood 20.
  • This mechanism support includes the arrangement of the swivels 13 and 21 in the internal part of the hood. In this internal part of the hood there is a lower float 22 for full discharge. It also includes the arrangement of the two swivels 13 and 21. Nevertheless the float connected with the upper swivel 13, determining partial discharge, is located on the outside, joined with a system for height regulation in respect of a rod 2 for regulation which is connected by a resilient coupling 9 and 10 to the upper swivel 13.
  • the height regulation of the rod 2 takes place through the correspondence between pins 4 located in the interior or passage 5 of the external float 1 which has a longitudinal slot 6, corresponding to the shape of the rod 2 in which a prominent part 7 is housed in the longitudinal slot 6 and has one or more racks 8 set in said rod, so that in cooperation with the pins, the interlocking of the external float 1 is determined in any of the possible positions depending on the length of the rod 2 and on the space available outside the flushing mechanism, according to Figure 2, so that said external float 1 has a sphere of movement which extends along the top through the correspondence of the recess 16 and the flange 17 which connects the rod 2 to the hood 20.
  • the hood 20 has a window 29 through which the rod 2 is inserted into the swivel 13 by means of the resilient coupling 9 and 10 already described.
  • the mechanism support 28 is formed of an assembly which has a window 26 made in it which has a closing overlap 25 which generates a delay in the outlet of the flow of water through the inside of the hood, so that for full flushing it makes the sealing rubber descend some time after the level of water drops, which favours this delay generating a discharge of the full contents of the cistern.
  • the external hollows 19 and the one made in the flange 17 are vertically aligned, so that the rod 2 can be installed vertically in the external part of the hood 20.
  • the flushing mechanism which constitutes this invention is thus made up of:
  • the float 1 has: an upper recess 16, a lower recess 3, an open slot 6, a passage 5 for a central part 7 projecting from the rod 2 and pins 4 in correspondence with teeth 8 of the rod 2; the sliding coupling which connects the rod-guide 2 and the float 1 consists of a slot 6 and a passage 5 made in the body of the float.
  • the rod 2 has at least one rack 8 set along one part of its length, a configuration of the anterior part which has a central portion longitudinally projecting from the rack 8, a substantially flat configuration of the rear part, which is able to go through the recess 5 for passage and through the slot 6 of the external float 1 which is fitted with pins 4 for resilient securing of the rod 2.
  • the rod 2 has, at approximately its lower central point, a coupling corresponding to a part of the swivel 21 so that the assembly of the rod 2 and the float 1 are arranged externally after setting up the assembly of mechanisms located inside the hood 20, this coupling being set on a projecting part of the central portion 7, which has a flat outermost face parallel to the central portion, also having on the opposite side convex bulges 12 or limits in the movement of the coupling to the swivel 21.
  • the coupling between the rod 2 and the upper swivel 13 is formed of a "U" or resilient securing mouth 10 and a corresponding part 9 able to be embraced by said "U" or resilient securing mouth, said rod 2 being set over the hood 20, and especially backing on to its body so that its upper part is inserted into the flange 17 while the lower part is housed in a recess 19 made in the base of this hood, the flange 17 and the upper recess 16 to the float coinciding, so that the float can be lifted until it houses the flange 17 in its upper recess, the flange 17 and the lower recess 19 of the hood being vertically aligned.
  • the base of the flushing system consists of a mechanism support 28 which holds the lower float and the spindles of the swivels 23.1 of the lower float and 23 of the swivel 13 of the upper float.
  • the hood has a window 26 fitted with a sliding sealing overlap 25, determining the regulation of the outlet flow of water out of this, and in turn with slots 33 made in the bottom part of this that can interlock in pins 34 of the mechanism support body 28.
