Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flush-adjustment device for toilet tank flush systems intended to be able to select the volume of water to be flushed from the tank, in such a way that it is possible to vary said volume flushed through the outlet mouth of the tank when we operate the flush.
  • tank flushes which incorporate a float housed inside the bell coupled to the mouth of the tank, said float being attached to the overflow so that, when the flush is operated, the tank is completely emptied, which wastes a considerable amount of water since very often a smaller volume of water only is needed.
  • the flush-adjustment device for tank flushes is defined starting from a bell that is coupled to the mouth of a tank, the lip of which faces a rubber seal fixed to an overflow in turn guided through a tubular neck forming part of the bell, which at the same time projects above the base of that bell.
  • a small coaxial open-topped container limited by a wall forming the extension of the side wall of the bell, inside which container is at least one float associated with the overflow.
  • said container will fill up with water each time the tank as a whole fills up.
  • the main characteristic of the invention consists of certain means for adjusting the emptying of this small container during the flushing of the tank, in such a way that, depending on the speed of emptying of that container during flushing of the tank, more or less volume of water will be emptied from the tank by advancing or retarding the descent of the overflow and therefore the closure or end of that flushing.
  • a window has been provided where a moving element is coupled having the possibility of closing that window to a greater or lesser degree with the aim of accelerating or slowing down the emptying of the container and therefore be able to obtain any volume of total flushing water by varying the amount of residual water remaining in the tank, this latter possibility being the one in which the window will be closed practically in its entirety.
  • the complete emptying of the container will be effected by a hole of a width that is duly calculated and which is normal in this type of flush.
  • the overflow rises up together with the rubber seal, releasing the mouth of the tank, in such a way that the float will maintain the elevated position of the overflow during the time needed for emptying the coaxial container, rather than for the time needed for the emptying (total or partial) of the tank.
  • buoyant float which keeps the overflow elevated along with the rubber seal, in such a way that the descent of the overflow towards the lower closing position will accompany the descent of the level of water inside the container, with closure of the mouth being achieved when the float loses its buoyancy.
  • the moving element in charge of controlling the outlet flow from the tank incorporates some passing holes which face some signalling elements located externally on the side wall of the said container, these elements indicating to us the volume of flushing water in the tank, and which are also in directions parallel to the displacement of the moving element.
  • the displacement of the moving element is normally in the vertical direction, though said displacement could be horizontal or in any other direction and therefore in the direction of the window as well.
  • the adjustment device consists of a small container 1 coaxial with the overflow 2 of a tank flush 3, the side wall of said container 1 including a centred window 4 where a moving element 5 is coupled for being able to adjust the outlet throat for water from that container 1 during its emptying, with that central window 4 even being able to be closed.
  • the container 1 comprises a wall which rises up and is the extension of the side wall of the lower bell 6 which is coupled to the mouth 7 of the tank.
  • the base of that bell 6, constituting the bottom of the container 1, includes a tubular neck 8 which rises up and within it is guided the overflow 2, fixed to the lower end of which is a rubber seal 9, facing the mouth 7 in order to permit the exit or not of water from the tank.
  • two diametrically opposed extensions 10 projecting from that neck 8 are two diametrically opposed extensions 10 which include some short shafts 11 to which are coupled two float elements 12 in an articulated manner located inside the inner space of the open-topped container 1.
  • the float elements 12 include some radial lugs 13 facing the overflow 2, in such a way that when the flush 3 is operated, the overflow 2 displaces upwards until the radial lugs 13 fit into an annular slot 14 of that overflow 2, with which the retention thereof in an elevated position is assured, with the water exiting via the mouth 7 of the tank until the container 1 is empty, or the water from the container ceases to produce any thrust on the float elements 12, at which moment the float elements 12 swivel outwards and downwards and the lugs 13 become decoupled from the annular slot 14 of the overflow 2.
  • the volume of water displaced from the tank will be adjusted with the moving element 5 more or less closing off the throat for the water from the central window 4 of the container 1.
  • the emptying of the container 1 takes place during the flushing of the tank.
  • the larger the throat for the central window 4 the less the volume of water that will be displaced from the tank, while the smaller the throat the greater will be the volume of water displaced from that tank, since in this case the float elements 12 will be floating for a greater length of time and so the overflow 2 will be retained in a raised position.
  • the side wall of the container 1 includes two side windows 15 above the central window 4, thereby defining certain portions with a vertical edge for coupling and guiding the moving element 5 which presents the general shape of a "T" where the vertical arm is responsible for closing the throat for the water to a greater or lesser degree, while the cross-piece includes two end folds for coupling in the edge portions of the two side windows 15.
  • the edges of the letter demarcate the displacement limit of the moving element 5.
  • the part of the wall of the container 1 demarcated between the two side windows 15 incorporates some projecting elements for signalling 16 arranged in correspondence with some viewfinders 17 made in the moving element 5, in such a way that when that moving element 5 is displaced vertically, the signalling elements 6 indicating the flushing volume of the tank will be able to be seen through the viewfinders, this volume evidently depending on the throat for the central window 4.
  • the viewfinders inform us of the flushing volume depending on their relative position with respect to the body of the container 1.
  • float elements are arranged as in the case of invention patent No. 200300300 , they could also be arranged in any other manner, such as for example by making them integral with the overflow.
  • the body of the container 1 incorporates some guide stops 18 for optimum sliding and positioning of the T-shaped moving element 5, especially its vertical arm.
  • the body of the container 1 incorporates a hole 19 which corresponds to the throat or exit of water, habitual in this type of flush, and which will previously have been rated for emptying the container 1 in the maximum length of time that ensures complete flushing. It collaborates with the device forming the object of the invention to the point that, without it, we would not be sure of emptying the container 1, though in one possible embodiment provision is made so that the moving element 5 in its maximum lowest position does not completely cover the window 4, which performs the same function as said passage throat 19.
