Definitions

  • the invention relates to a damping device for the seat and / or the lid of a toilet.
  • the invention is particularly directed to a damping device which can be used as a separate unit for damping a toilet seat.
  • a damping device is for example from the DE 20 2004 013 255 U1 known.
  • the known damping device has a stationary housing which can be fixed via a spigot portion to a toilet bowl.
  • the damping device further has a horizontal axis portion on which the toilet seat is pivotally mounted.
  • the axle section ensures a damping of the seat and / or the lid.
  • the known damping device has proven itself in principle.
  • the overall arrangement of the damping device is dimensioned such that the diameter of the axle section is chosen sufficiently large to easily absorb the forces acting on the toilet seat.
  • dampers which are already offered as purchased parts in relatively small sizes. These dampers are mass-produced and, to that extent, relatively inexpensive.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a preferably formed as a separate entity damping device in which a standard damper comes as a separate element for use and ensures a long life.
  • a damping device with a damper having a first portion and a rotatable relative to the first portion of the second section, a housing in which the damper is received, and with a transition member connected to the first or the second section is rotatably connected, wherein the transition element with the seat or the lid of a toilet seat is rotatably connected, and wherein the housing forms a bearing for the transition element.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a bearing of the toilet seat directly on the rotatable portion - the journal portion of the damper - means a significant burden on the journal portion.
  • the critical loads are loads that act radially to the axis of rotation. Such loads lead to premature wear of the damper. There is not only the risk that damping fluid escapes from the damper, but that the damper is mechanically destroyed. This is where the invention starts.
  • a transition element is provided which is rotatably connected to the first or the second portion of the damper.
  • the axis of rotation of the damper is thus not directly connected itself to the seat or the lid, but the transition element.
  • the housing forms a bearing for the transition element.
  • each damper is received in a separate housing.
  • the bearing for the transition element can be designed differently. At least one preferably circumferential bearing section in the housing is considered to be advantageous, which cooperates in each case with a preferably likewise circumferential bearing section of the transition element.
  • the width of the bearing sections will be chosen so that the overall arrangement takes no damage despite the radial loads occurring. Also encompassed by the inventive idea is a multi-stage bearing section in the axial direction.
  • the bearing portion of the housing can also be formed by a separate component - for example, a ring - which is then also considered as part of the housing, so that insofar as the housing forms the bearing for the transition element.
  • the transition element is mounted in the housing at least twice.
  • the two bearing sections are expediently spaced from each other. Due to the distance, the transition element can absorb tilting moments in an advantageous manner. At the same time a rotation of the transition element is guaranteed.
  • the transition element has at least two preferably circumferential bearing portions, wherein the first bearing portion cooperates with an end-side bearing portion of the housing and the second bearing portion thereof is arranged spaced therefrom.
  • the second bearing portion is formed by an end portion of the transition element received in the housing.
  • the damper is possibly already inserted together with the transition element in the housing.
  • the transition element is clipped into the housing.
  • the individual components are merely inserted into one another.
  • the dimensions of the individual components such as the diameter of the transition element or the distance between the bearing sections are made so that on the one hand in operation occurring radial forces can be absorbed, on the other hand, the transition element is rotatable in the housing.
  • the housing has a projection which limits the insertion depth of the transition element.
  • the transition element can only be inserted so far into the housing of the damping device until it comes to rest on the projection. This prevents the transition element from contacting the stationary portion of the damper, which would have negative effects on the rotatability of the transition element.
  • the damper is suitably accommodated completely in the housing. It can be provided that the housing has a damper receiving portion, wherein advantageously the bearing portion (for supporting the transition element) at least the same diameter as the damper receiving portion, preferably the same diameter.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the housing has a circumferential undercut, engage in the hook elements of the transition element.
  • the hook elements are expediently distributed over the circumference of the transition element and engage radially in the undercut, which may be formed by a groove.
  • a compact and stable construction results from the fact that the hook elements between two bearing points (or the bearing portions) of the transition element are arranged.
  • the one bearing portion may be formed as an end-side closure of the housing.
  • a cap is placed over the transition element, which is the transition element holds in the housing and preferably connected to the housing, in particular clipped or screwed into the housing.
  • the transition element forms an extension of the rotatable portion of the damper.
  • both the rotatable portion of the damper usually the pivot
  • the end portion of the transition element profiled advantageously both the rotatable portion of the damper (usually the pivot) and the end portion of the transition element profiled.
  • the transition element has a preferably sleeve-like approach, which at least partially surrounds the first or the second portion of the damper.
  • the outer contour of the sleeve-like projection form the preferably circumferential shoulder of the transition element, which is mounted in the housing.
  • the sleeve-like approach will include the pivot pin as a rule completely.
  • the approach is formed only by, for example, two web-like projections, which are flattened on its inner side and include the also flattened on both sides pivot.
  • the transition element advantageously also has a profile section which can be brought into engagement with the seat and / or the lid.
  • this area is formed complementary to the profile section.
  • the second section of the damper be held in a rotationally fixed manner in the housing.
  • the second portion will usually be the housing portion of the damper, while the first portion of the damper forms the pivot. It should be noted, however, that arrangements are conceivable in which the first section is the housing and the second section of the pivot.
  • the housing has a profiling in the interior of the housing, which cooperates with a profiling of the second portion of the damper.
  • Commercially available dampers as purchased parts create the profiling of the otherwise cylindrical housing by a flattening in the end of the damper housing.
  • the housing also has flattened inner walls to create the rotationally fixed connection in partial areas. In this way, the second portion is held stationary in the housing of the damping device while the first portion is rotatable.
  • the attachment of the damping device is usually carried out via a fastening arrangement, via which the damping device can be fixed to a toilet bowl. It has proved to be particularly advantageous if the damping device is detachably connectable to the toilet bowl. As a result, the entire toilet seat can be removed, for example for cleaning purposes, from the toilet bowl, without having to dismantle the entire arrangement.
  • the damping device has a receiving portion for receiving a pin end portion of the fastening arrangement.
  • the attachment assembly remains stationary after attachment to the toilet bowl to the toilet bowl.
  • the receiving section which is preferably formed integrally with the housing of the damping device, is placed on the pin end section for attachment to the toilet bowl and fixed. To remove the toilet seat, the fixation is released, so that the entire seat can be removed.
  • the fastening arrangement furthermore has a fastening section, which can be designed, for example, as a threaded rod and by means of which the fastening arrangement is fastened to the toilet bowl.
  • a fastening section which can be designed, for example, as a threaded rod and by means of which the fastening arrangement is fastened to the toilet bowl.
  • the fastening portion of the fastening arrangement and the pin portion are offset from one another.
  • a locking element is received and that the locking element engages in the locked state in a groove formed in the journal portion.
  • the locking element is a screw which is screwed into the receiving portion.
  • the invention provides a particularly simple construction.
  • the damper is possibly already inserted into the housing together with the transition element in the housing.
  • An essential development of the invention is characterized in that the housing can be closed by the transition element.
