Definitions

  • This invention relates to a toilet container and, more especially, this invention relates to a toilet container that is a sealable container.
  • the container of the present invention is easily and conveniently operated by the handle. Simple hand operation on the handle is effective to seal and unseal the container as may be required, and also to move the lid with respect to the body.
  • the locking arrangement may be used with or without seals.
  • the container may be one in which the locking device comprises a latching clip, engaging means which is for engaging the latching clip and which is provided on the outside of the body, and a control mechanism for controlling operation of the latching clip consequent upon movement of the handle.
  • the engaging means is an indent.
  • the engaging means may be a protruding ridge of material on the outside of the bowl instead of an indent, so that the pawl of the latching clip will still engage an inverted surface.
  • Other alternatives include having the indent placed in the latching clip, and a static pawl on the body of the bowl.
  • Further combinations of engaging means could include a hook and eye, a peg and hole, a catch and pin, or interspersed variations thereof on either the latching clip or bowl.
  • the control mechanism may comprise guide means on the latching clip, and a connecting member which runs in the guide means and which is connected to the handle.
  • the control mechanism may be one in which the guide means is a slot, and in which the connecting member is a pin. Other types of guide means and other types of connecting member may be employed.
  • the lid may be pivotally connected to the body.
  • the lid may be pivotally connected to the body by one or more pivot members.
  • the lid may be completely removable from the body.
  • the body is a toilet bowl.
  • the container becomes part of a water closet that uses pneumatic means for transporting waste matter from the toilet bowl.
  • the container has sealing means.
  • the sealing means may comprise a first seal and a second seal.
  • the body when the container has the sealing means, then the body may be for receiving a wide variety of solid or liquid products that need to be sealed in the body.
  • the container may be such that the body is used for receiving goods which become stale on prolonged exposure to air, for example bread, biscuits and cakes.
  • the container may also be used for receiving liquids that lose their effectiveness on prolonged exposure to air, for example carbonated drinks.
  • the container will be produced to be of an appropriate shape depending upon the particular product that is to be held in the container.
  • a container comprising a body in the form of a toilet bowl 1, a lid 5 for the bowl 1, and a locking arrangement for locking and sealing the lid 5 to the bowl 1.
  • the bowl 1 forms part of a water closet.
  • the locking arrangement comprises a handle 23 which fits around a part of the periphery of the lid 5. Sealing means is provided for sealing the seat 18 to the bowl 1, and for sealing the lid 5 to the seat 18.
  • the sealing means is in the form of first and second seals 20 as will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
  • the container has a plurality of locking devices which connect the handle 23 to the lid 5 such that the lid 5 is movable by the handle 23.
  • the locking devices are such that in their locked condition they cause the sealing means in the form of the first and second seal 20 to seal.
  • the locking devices are also such that lifting of the handle 23 away from the bowl 1 causes the locking devices to unlock and thereby the sealing means to unseal.
  • the locking devices each comprise a latching clip 4, an indent 2 in the outside of the bowl 1 for receiving the latching clip 4, and a control mechanism for controlling operation of the latching clip 4 consequent upon movement of the handle 23.
  • the control mechanism comprises guide means in the form of a slot 12 on the latching clip 4, and a connecting member in the form of a pin 13 which runs in the slot 12 and which is connected to the handle 23.
  • the container shown in the drawings overcomes or reduces the above problems by providing a sealing arrangement which is simple to operate, which is able to tolerate a wide range of materials for producing the bowl 1, and which is also able to tolerate a wide range of dimensions and tolerances.
  • Figure 1 shows the lid 5, the handle 23 and the seat 18 which is pivotally hinged onto the bowl 1 and which is shown in a raised position. Seals 20 are visible on the underside of the lid 5 and the seat 18.
  • the handle 23 is pivotally connected to the lid 5.
  • the handle 23 shares a common hinge point with the lid 5.
  • Figure 2 shows the seat 18 in a fully lowered position.
  • the lid 5 is suspended from the latching clips 4, as if the handle 23 were being lowered by a user holding a grip point 24.
  • Figure 3 is a cross section of a latching clip 4 and first and second seals 20, with the lid 5 and the seat 18 being raised to show the natural inclination of seal lips 21.
  • Figure 4 shows an assembly procedure for locating a stepped tongue 8 of the latching clip 4 into a lid slot 7 in the direction of arrow "A”.
  • Figure 5 shows an assembly procedure for securing the latching clip 4 into its captive position, once the stepped tongue 8 has engaged the lid slot 7 by lowering it in the direction of arrow "B”.
  • Figure 6 shows the lid 5 and the seat 18 unlocked in the fully lowered position.
  • the handle 23 is not flush with the lid and, consequently, the latching clips 4 have not been moved inward to engage in the bowls indents 1.
  • Figure 7 is a cross section showing the clip 4 and first and second seals 20 in the position shown in Figure 6 .
  • Buffers 22 of the seat 18 and the lid 5 are shown resting on the seat top 18 and the bowl rim 17 respectively.
  • the seal lips 21 are lying flat against their mating surfaces.
  • Figure 8 shows the lid 5 and the handle 23 in a locked position.
  • the seat 18 and the lid 5 are fully lowered as shown in Figure 6 , but the handle stop 25 is resting on a lid recess 26, and the handle 23 is flush with the lid 5. Consequently, pawls 9 of the latching clips 4 have been located in the bowl indents 2.
  • Figure 9 is a cross section of the latching clip 4 and the seal 21 as shown in Figure 8 .
  • the handle 23 is in a fully lowered position, whereupon the guide pin 13 has travelled along the guide slot 12 to push the latching clip 4 inward, and to make the pawl 9 engage with the inverted surface of the bowl indent 3.
  • Figure 10 is a cross sectional perspective view of one of the first and second seals 20, and shows how the seal 20 has a locating tongue 26 and barbed ridges 27.
  • the construction and operation of the container shown in the drawings is as follows.
  • the bowl 1 is provided with the indents 2 which are positioned on the inverted flat surface 3 sufficient to accommodate the latching clips 4.
  • the lid 5 is free to pivot about the hinge 6, and is provided with one or more slots 7 positioned to be over the bowl indents 2 when in the closed position.
  • the latching clips 4 are provided with a stepped tongue 8 at one end.
  • the stepped tongue 8 slides into the lid slot 7 in the direction of arrow "A" when the latching clip 4 is offered in a perpendicular angle as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the stepped tongue 8 forms a captive hinge when it is lowered in the direction of arrow "B" as shown in Figure 5 .
  • the latching clips 4 are provided with the pawl 9 at the other end in order to engage the indents 2 in the bowl 1.
  • Each pawl 9 is designed with an angled face 10 and a rounded point of contact 11 in order to grip the indent 2 without moving outward when stressed or flexed by pressurisation of the bowl 1. It is not necessary for the pawls 9 to make contact with the bowl indent 2 when locked and while at rest because, during pressurisation, the lid 5 rises and lifts the clip 4 until the pawl 9 makes contact with the bowl indent 2. If a plurality of clips 4 is used as shown in the drawings, then the lid 5 will flex during pressurisation until all the latching clips 4 have gripped the bowl 1.
  • the clips 4 are further provided with an offset run of slot 12 on their outward face sufficient to contain and follow the guide pin 13 which is held captive in a handle protrusion 14.
  • the handle 23 is positioned over and around the lid 5 as shown and is free to pivot about the hinge 6.
  • the handle 23 is provided with one or more of the protrusions 14 that position a captive pin 13 through the slot 12. When the handle 23 is fully lowered, it has a stop 25 which comes to rest in a lid recess 26 in order to prevent over closure, and to form a flush contour with the lid 5 to visually communicate that the lid 5 is fully locked onto the bowl 1.
  • the guide pin 13 moves up the slot 12, thus forcing the latching clips 4 to hinge in the lid slots 7 and move away from the bowl indent 2.
  • the guide pin 13 applies an upward force to the latching clip 4 to lift the lid 5. This is because the latching clip 5 is unable to return to the perpendicular angle required to release the stepped tongue 8 from the lid 5 as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the weight of the lid 5 makes the lid 5 drop away from the handle 23.
  • This causes the latching clips 4 to be moved to the outward position by the guide pins 13, where they suspend the lid 5.
  • the lid 5 is provided with a cut-out 15 adjacent to a handle grip point 24 so that, if users inadvertently grasp the lid 5 while lowering the handle 23, the cut-out 15 allows the lid 5 to drop sufficiently to move the latching clips 4 to the unlocked position to clear a bowl rim 17 before being closed.
  • the latching clips 4 are provided with an angled leading edge 16, and the components are designed to be sufficiently flexible, in order to allow the latching clips 4 to move over the bowl rim 17 to locate the indent 2 in order to assume the locked position, even if the lid 5 is forced down with the handle 23 in the locked position and the latching clips 4 are locked in their inward position.
  • guide pins 13 may be removable from their captive positions, whereby the handle 23 is free to be raised independently, and the latching clips 4 may be removed from their slots 7 to aid cleaning and maintenance.
  • the seat 18 is free to move about the hinge 6, and is provided with one or more of the cut-outs 19 in order to provide a clearance for the pawl 9.
  • the seat 18 is not connected to the lid 5 or the handle 14 and it is lifted independently.
  • the seat 18 and the lid 5 are each provided with a flexible seal 20.
  • Each flexible seal 20 has an inward and downward facing lip 21. As the seat 18 and the lid 5 are lowered, the first and the second seals 20 make contact with the pan rim 17 and the seat 18 beneath them, and the lips 21 lay flat on their mating surfaces as shown in Figure 7 .
  • the lid 5 and the seat 18 are provided with one or more buffers 22 positioned to make contact with the bowl rim 17 and the seat top 18 in order to form a rest pad or pads sufficient to maintain an even sealed gap. This even sealed gap prevents the seals 20 from becoming compressed or distorted.
  • the seal lip 21 is pushed onto its mating surface by pressurisation within the bowl 1 in order to create a hermitic seal.
  • the characteristics of each of the first and second seals 20 are such that, as the lid 5 rises and flexes during pressurisation, the seals will move but the seal lip 21 continues to be pushed onto its mating surface to maintain an effective seal regardless of the seal position.
  • pressurisation also pushes the seal lip 21 around contamination on the mating surface in order to maintain a hermitic seal sufficient for flushing. Seal wear is also minimised because the seal is not clamped or compressed.
  • the first and second seals 20 are each provided with a tongue 26, which fits into corresponding grooves in the lid and the seat.
  • the tongue is provided with barbed ridges 27 along its length.
  • the barbed ridges 27 are pushed flat against the tongue 26 as the tongue 26 is pushed into the groove in the lid 5 or the seat 18 as may be the case.
  • the barbed ridges 27 resist the seal leaving its groove during pressurisation by gripping the sides of its groove and opening outwards to grip even harder. However, sufficient force will overcome the resistance of the barbed ridges 27 if the seal needs to be removed for maintenance.
  • the container shown in the present drawings has the following advantages.
