Abstract
The invention relates to a flush-adjustment device for toilet tank flush systems. Flush systems essentially comprise a structure defined by a bell that is coupled to a water outlet mouth of the tank and an overflow comprising a rubber seal, whereby the overflow is guided through the tubular neck of the bell. Said systems also comprise at least one float element and a small independent open-topped container (1) which is disposed axially with the overflow (2) on top of the bell (6). The aforementioned container (1) houses at least one float element (12), which is associated with the overflow (2). The invention is characterised in that the container (1) is equipped with means for gradually adjusting the water outlet thereof when the flush system is activated, such that the volume of flushed water can be varied depending on the rate of flow of water from the container during flushing.
Description
- As stated in the title of this descriptive specification, 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.
- This is achieved in a simple manner by means of controlling the outlet of water from a small container associated with the flush, inside which container is a float associated with the overflow.
- It is applicable both to double flush mechanisms and to complete flush mechanisms, the latter type being the system that benefits most from the device.
- There currently exist 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.
- In other cases, there exist flush mechanisms with a partial flush and a total flush, so that one or the other option is chosen by pressing one of the two push-buttons included in the flush.
- In this case, the mechanisms of the flushes display a certain complexity, which can make the final product more expensive.
- The solution described in the previous paragraph incorporates, for example, invention patent
No. 200300300 - This solution is also included in utility model 9701307 as well as in
European patent E-96200356 - In these flush mechanisms with partial and total flushing, two float elements are necessarily required to be arranged at different heights, and two operations are also required on the different buttons and therefore two different displacement mechanisms for the overflow which is positioned at two different heights, depending on the selection of partial or total flushing.
- 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.
- Arranged above the base of the bell is 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. Evidently, 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.
- To achieve this, in the coaxial wall demarcating the container, 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. In this case, 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.
- So, once the flush mechanism has been acted upon, 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.
- During this emptying time, it is the 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.
- Moreover, 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.
- Below, in order to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive specification and forming an integral part thereof, some figures are attached in which, on an illustrative rather than limiting basis, the object of the invention has been represented.
-
- Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a tank flush system incorporating the flush-adjustment device of the invention.
- Figure 2.- Shows another perspective view of the adjustment device.
- Figure 3.- Shows a diagrammatic view of the adjustment device.
- Figure 4.- Shows a front view of the device.
- Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the adjustment device consists of a
small container 1 coaxial with theoverflow 2 of atank flush 3, the side wall of saidcontainer 1 including a centredwindow 4 where a movingelement 5 is coupled for being able to adjust the outlet throat for water from thatcontainer 1 during its emptying, with thatcentral window 4 even being able to be closed. - Depending on the position of the moving
element 5, thatcentral window 4 will close to a greater or lesser degree, thus varying the outlet throat. - The
container 1 comprises a wall which rises up and is the extension of the side wall of thelower bell 6 which is coupled to themouth 7 of the tank. - The base of that
bell 6, constituting the bottom of thecontainer 1, includes atubular neck 8 which rises up and within it is guided theoverflow 2, fixed to the lower end of which is arubber seal 9, facing themouth 7 in order to permit the exit or not of water from the tank. - Moreover, projecting from that
neck 8 are two diametrically opposedextensions 10 which include someshort shafts 11 to which are coupled twofloat elements 12 in an articulated manner located inside the inner space of the open-topped container 1. - The
float elements 12 include someradial lugs 13 facing theoverflow 2, in such a way that when theflush 3 is operated, theoverflow 2 displaces upwards until theradial lugs 13 fit into anannular slot 14 of thatoverflow 2, with which the retention thereof in an elevated position is assured, with the water exiting via themouth 7 of the tank until thecontainer 1 is empty, or the water from the container ceases to produce any thrust on thefloat elements 12, at which moment thefloat elements 12 swivel outwards and downwards and thelugs 13 become decoupled from theannular slot 14 of theoverflow 2. - At this moment, the
overflow 2 will be displaced downwards until therubber seal 9 sits on themouth 7 of the tank, independently of the residual quantity or volume of water left in the tank, since said displacement depends only on the loss of buoyancy of the floats. - In any case, 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 thecentral window 4 of thecontainer 1. Evidently, the emptying of thecontainer 1 takes place during the flushing of the tank. - So, 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 thefloat elements 12 will be floating for a greater length of time and so theoverflow 2 will be retained in a raised position. - The side wall of the
container 1 includes twoside windows 15 above thecentral window 4, thereby defining certain portions with a vertical edge for coupling and guiding the movingelement 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 twoside windows 15. The edges of the letter demarcate the displacement limit of themoving element 5. - The part of the wall of the
container 1 demarcated between the twoside windows 15 incorporates some projecting elements for signalling 16 arranged in correspondence with someviewfinders 17 made in the movingelement 5, in such a way that when that movingelement 5 is displaced vertically, thesignalling 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 thecentral window 4. - So, the viewfinders inform us of the flushing volume depending on their relative position with respect to the body of the
container 1. - Obviously, the gradual positioning of the moving
element 5 will permit intermediate flushing volumes. - In particular, provision has been made for signalling of maximum flush (9 litres) and another for minimum flush (6 litres) for a standard tank.
- Although the float elements are arranged as in the case of invention patent
No. 200300300 - The body of the
container 1 incorporates some guide stops 18 for optimum sliding and positioning of the T-shaped movingelement 5, especially its vertical arm. - Moreover, the body of the
container 1 incorporates ahole 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 thecontainer 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 thecontainer 1, though in one possible embodiment provision is made so that the movingelement 5 in its maximum lowest position does not completely cover thewindow 4, which performs the same function as saidpassage throat 19.
