Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spülkasten gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cistern according to the preamble of claim 1.

Spülkästen dieser Art sind bekannt. Als Keramik-Spülkästen weisen sie herstellungsbedingt grosse Massabweichungen auf. Die Betätigungsvorrichtungen müssen somit so ausgebildet sein, dass sie an unterschiedliche Masse des Spülkastens und insbesondere an unterschiedliche Dicken des Spülkastendeckels anpassbar sind. Diese Anpassbarkeit bedingt einen vergleichsweise grossen konstruktiven Aufwand und auch eine besondere ebenfalls vergleichsweise aufwendige Montage. Bei einer Revision muss entsprechend die Betätigungsvorrichtung demontiert und anschliessend wieder montiert werden, was ebenfalls vergleichsweise aufwendig ist.Cisterns of this type are known. As ceramic cisterns, they have production-related large dimensional deviations. The actuators must thus be designed so that they can be adapted to different mass of the cistern and in particular to different thicknesses of the cistern lid. This adaptability requires a relatively large design effort and also a special also comparatively complicated assembly. In a revision, the actuator must be disassembled and then re-assembled accordingly, which is also relatively expensive.

Ein Spülkasten der genannten Art ist im Stand der Technik aus der WO 01/46528 bekannt geworden. Diese ermöglicht eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Masse des Spülkastens. Zudem ist hier eine Zweistufen-Spülung möglich. Das Montieren der Betätigungsvorrichtung ist aber auch hier vergleichsweise aufwendig. Dies gilt ebenfalls für eine Revision.A cistern of the type mentioned in the prior art from the WO 01/46528 known. This allows adaptation to different mass of the cistern. In addition, a two-stage flushing is possible here. The mounting of the actuator but is also comparatively expensive here. This also applies to a revision.

Die GB-A-1,122,940 offenbart einen Spülkasten mit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung, die eine Taste aufweist, die von unten in ein Durckgangsöffnung eines Spülkastendeckels eingesetzt ist. Am Spülkastenbehälter ist ein Halter angeordnet, an dem ein Betätigungshebel anliegt und auf welchen die Taste zur Spülauslösung wirkt. So kann der Spülkastendeckel abgehoben werden, ohne daß die Taste demontiert werden muß oder eine sonstige Verbindung gelöst werden muß.The GB-A-1,122,940 discloses a flushing cistern with an actuator having a key inserted from below into a flush opening of a cistern lid. On the Spülkastenbehälter a holder is arranged, on which an actuating lever rests and on which the button acts for Spülauslösung. So the cistern lid can be lifted without the button must be removed or other connection must be solved.

Die EP-A-0 479 716 offenbart einen Spülkasten mit einer in einem Tastengehäuse gelagerten Taste. Das Tastengehäuse besitzt unterseitig eine Führungshülse für eine unterseitig an der Taste angeordnete Stange, die zur Spülauslösung auf einen Drücker der Auslaufgarnitur wirkt. Das Tastengehäuse ist am Spülkastendeckel mit einer Mutter befestigt, die auf die Führungshülse aufgeschraubt ist. Der Spülkastendeckel kann zusammen mit dem Tastengehäuse und der Taste vom Spülkastenbehälter abgehoben werden.The EP-A-0 479 716 discloses a flushing cistern with a button mounted in a key housing. The key housing has on its underside a guide sleeve for a bar arranged on the underside of the key, which acts to flush triggering on a pusher of the outlet fitting. The key housing is attached to the cistern lid with a nut which is screwed onto the guide sleeve. The cistern lid can be lifted off the cistern with the key housing and the button.

Die DE-U-86 04 361 offenbart einen Spülkasten mit einer Taste, die auf einem Steg gelagert ist, der am Spülkastenbehälter befestigt ist.The DE-U-86 04 361 discloses a flushing cistern with a button mounted on a bridge fixed to the cistern tank.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Betätigungsvorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine einfachere Montage ermöglicht. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung soll trotzdem kostengünstig herstellbar und funktionssicher sein. Insbesondere soll sie dabei an unterschiedliche Maße des Spülkastens anpaßbar sein.The invention has for its object to provide an actuator of the type mentioned, which allows easier installation. The actuator should still be inexpensive to produce and reliable. In particular, it should be adaptable to different dimensions of the cistern.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Betätigungsvorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auch der erfindungsgemässe Spülkasten weist einen Deckel auf, der wie in der GB-A-1 122 940 von der Taste und dem Drücker abhebbar ist. Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass bei der Montage und einer Revision der Spülkastendeckel in einfacher Weise abgehoben und dann wieder aufgesetzt werden kann. Entsprechend vereinfacht ist auch die Montage, da die wenigstens eine Taste und der Drücker bei abgehobenem Deckel überprüft und schliesslich der Deckel mit dem Tastengehäuse aufgesetzt werden können.The object is achieved in a generic actuator according to claim 1. Also, the cistern according to the invention has a lid which, as in the GB-A-1 122 940 can be lifted off the key and the pusher. This has the significant advantage that during assembly and a revision of the cistern lid can be easily lifted and then put back on. The assembly is correspondingly simplified, since the at least one key and the pusher are checked when the lid is lifted and finally the lid can be placed with the key housing.

Nach der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Einbauteil aus Tastengehäuse, Taste, Drücker und Führungsteil, in welchem der Drücker geführt ist,According to the invention it is provided that the built-in part of key housing, button, pusher and guide part, in which the pusher is guided,

Mittel zur schraubbaren Befestigung auf einem Joch der Auslaufgarnitur aufweist. Eine solche schraubbare Befestigung ermöglicht eine Tiefeneinstellung des Einbauteils. Dadurch ist die besonders einfache Anpassung an unterschiedliche Masse des Spülkastens möglich.Has means for screw-fastening on a yoke of the spout. Such a screw-fastening allows a depth adjustment of the insert. As a result, the particularly simple adaptation to different mass of the cistern is possible.

Dies ist dann besonders einfach, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung das Führungsteil auf ein Verbindungsteil aufschraubbar ist. Das Verbindungsteil verbindet insbesondere das Führungsteil mit dem genannten Joch.This is particularly simple if, according to a development of the invention, the guide part can be screwed onto a connecting part. The connecting part in particular connects the guide part with the said yoke.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Tastengehäuse drehfest mit dem Führungsteil verbunden ist, so dass das Einbauteil unter Verwendung des Tastengehäuses als Montagehilfsmittel auf die Auslaufgarnitur aufschraubbar ist. Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass das Einbauteil bei aufgesetztem Spülkastendeckel positionsgenau auf dem Auslaufventil befestigt werden kann. Das Tastengehäuse dient in diesem Fall als Werkzeug, mit dem das Einbauteil aufgeschraubt wird. Die Endposition des Schraubvorgangs ist hier vorzugsweise die Endstellung des Tastengehäuses. Das Tastengehäuse wird somit mit dem Einbauteil bei aufgesetztem Spülkastendeckel nach unten geschraubt, bis beispielsweise ein Kragen des Tastengehäuses auf der Oberseite des Kastendeckels aufliegt. Das Einbauteil hat hierbei seine genaue Position erreicht. Das Tastengehäuse kann nun mit dem Spülkastendeckel abgehoben und beispielsweise mit einer Mutter am Spülkastendeckel befestigt werden. Zum Aufschrauben der Mutter besitzt das Tastengehäuse vorzugsweise in einem unteren Bereich ein Aussengewinde.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the key housing is rotatably connected to the guide part, so that the built-in part can be screwed using the key housing as a mounting aid on the outlet fitting. This has the significant advantage that the mounting part can be fixed with exact position on the outlet valve with the cistern lid attached. The key housing is used in this case as a tool with which the fixture is screwed. The end position of the screwing is here preferably the end position of the key housing. The key housing is thus screwed down with the mounting part with attached cistern cover until, for example, a collar of the key housing rests on the top of the box lid. The built-in part has reached its exact position. The key housing can now be lifted with the cistern lid and attached, for example, with a nut on the cistern lid. For screwing the nut, the key housing preferably has a male thread in a lower region.

Das Einbauteil ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass eine Zweistufen-Spülung möglich ist. Beispielsweise weist es in seinem Bauteil eine Taste für eine Vollspülung und eine weitere Taste für eine Teilspülung auf. Grundsätzlich ist aber auch eine Betätigungsvorrichtung mit lediglich einer Taste denkbar.The built-in part is preferably designed so that a two-stage flushing is possible. For example, it has in its component a button for a full flush and another button for a partial flush. In principle, however, an actuating device with only one button is conceivable.

Die Erfindung betrifft zudem ein Verfahren zum Montieren eines solchen Spülkastens.The invention also relates to a method for mounting such a cistern.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Das Schwimmerventil 20 weist ein Gehäuse 31 auf, in dem ein Überlaufrohr 21 oder ein anderer geeigneter Verschlusskörper abhebbar gelagert ist. Das Schwimmerventil 20 ist für eine Zweimengen-Spülung ausgebildet und besitzt hierzu einen oberen Schwimmer 22 und einen unteren Schwimmer 23. Zum Anheben des Überlaufrohrs 21 und damit zur Auslösung einer Spülung ist eine Zugstange 34 vorgesehen, die an einem unteren Ende am Überlaufrohr 21 angreift und die über ein gelenkiges Gestänge 35 mit der Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 zusammenarbeitet. Das Gestänge 35 ist mit Drehgelenken 17 mit einem Joch 14 verbunden, das über zwei nach unten ragende Stege 14a mit dem Gehäuse 31 verbunden ist. Das Schwimmerventil 20 kann auch durch ein anderes geeignetes Auslaufventil ersetzt sein. Insbesondere muss das Schwimmerventil 20 nicht zwingend als zweistufiges Ventil ausgebildet sein.The FIG. 1 shows a spout 32 which is mounted in a cistern 1 and which consists of an actuator 6 and a float valve 20. The float valve 20 is inserted into an opening 5 of a Spülkastenbehälters 3 and secured with a fastening nut 33 at the bottom of the Spülkastenbehälters 3. The float valve 20 has a housing 31, in which an overflow pipe 21 or another suitable closure body is mounted liftably. The float valve 20 is designed for a two-flush and has for this purpose an upper float 22 and a lower float 23. To raise the overflow pipe 21 and thus to trigger a flush a pull rod 34 is provided which engages at a lower end on the overflow pipe 21 and which cooperates via an articulated linkage 35 with the actuator 6. The linkage 35 is connected to pivot joints 17 with a yoke 14 which is connected via two downwardly projecting webs 14 a with the housing 31. The float valve 20 may also be replaced by another suitable outlet valve. In particular, the float valve 20 need not necessarily be designed as a two-stage valve.

Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 ist in einer Öffnung 4 (Fig. 6a) des Spülkastendeckels 2 gelagert. Vorzugsweise ist diese Öffnung 4 eine kreisrunde Öffnung. Der Spülkastendeckel 2 besteht hier beispielsweise aus Keramik. Er ist in üblicher Weise auf einen hier nicht gezeigten oberen Rand des Spülkastenbehälters 3 abnehmbar aufgesetzt. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 besitzt ein vorzugsweise zylindrisches Tastengehäuse 7 mit einem oberen nach aussen ragenden Kragen 7a, der im montierten Zustand auf einer Oberseite 36 (Fig. 6b) des Spülkastendeckels 2 aufliegt. Das Tastengehäuse 7 besitzt gemäss Figur 6c eine zylindrische Innenseite 30 sowie an einem unteren kronenförmigen Rand eine Mehrzahl von Ausnehmungen 25. Mit einer Mutter 13, die auf ein Gewinde 24 des Tastengehäuses 7 aufgeschraubt ist, ist dieses am Spülkastendeckel 2 befestigt.The actuator 6 is in an opening 4 (FIG. Fig. 6a ) of the cistern lid 2 stored. Preferably, this opening 4 is a circular opening. The cistern lid 2 is here, for example, ceramic. He is placed in a customary manner on a not shown here upper edge of the Spülkastenbehälters 3 detachable. The actuating device 6 has a preferably cylindrical key housing 7 with an upper outwardly projecting collar 7a, which in the assembled state on an upper side 36 (FIG. Fig. 6b ) of the cistern lid 2 rests. The key housing 7 has according FIG. 6c a cylindrical inner side 30 and at a lower crown-shaped edge a plurality of recesses 25. With a nut 13 which is screwed onto a thread 24 of the key housing 7, this is attached to the cistern lid 2.

Im Tastengehäuse 7 sind zwei Tasten 8 und 9 gelagert, die zur Spülauslösung von Hand nach unten bewegbar sind. Wird lediglich die Taste 8 gedrückt, so wird eine Vollspülung ausgelöst, bei welcher im Wesentlichen das gesamte im Spülkasten 1 vorhandene Wasser zur Spülung verwendet wird. Wird die grosse Taste 8 mit der kleinen Taste 9 gedrückt, so wird lediglich eine Teilspülung ausgelöst. In dem Tastengehäuse 7 ist zudem ein Führungsteil 12 gelagert, das gemäss Figur 6a ein Innengewinde 27 aufweist, das auf ein Aussengewinde 28 eines Verbindungsteils 15 aufgeschraubt ist. Die Einschraubtiefe des Führungsteils 17 bezüglich des Verbindungsteils 15 ist einstellbar. Am Führungsteil 12 ist eine Feder 10 abgestützt, die gegen die Tasten 8 und 9 gespannt ist. Innerhalb des Verbindungsteils 15 ist ein Drücker 11 angeordnet, der zum Verschwenken eines zweiarmigen Hebels 16 des Gestänges 35 mit den Tasten 8 und 9 nach unten bewegt werden kann. Der Drücker 11 besteht aus einem Stift 40, der aussenseitig ein Gewinde 41 (Fig. 4) aufweist und der in eine Hülse 37 eingeschraubt ist, welche gemäss Figur 6a ein korrespondierendes Gewinde 42 besitzt. Der Stift 40 ist an einem oberen Ende mit der Taste 8 verbunden und wird zur Spülauslösung mit dieser nach unten bewegt.In the key housing 7 two keys 8 and 9 are mounted, which are movable for flushing by hand down. If only the button 8 is pressed, a full flush is triggered, in which substantially all of the water present in the cistern 1 is used for flushing. If the big button 8 is pressed with the small button 9, only a partial flush is triggered. In the key housing 7, a guide member 12 is also mounted, according to FIG. 6a an internal thread 27 which is screwed onto an external thread 28 of a connecting part 15. The depth of engagement of the guide member 17 with respect to the connecting part 15 is adjustable. On the guide part 12, a spring 10 is supported, which is tensioned against the keys 8 and 9. Within the connecting part 15, a pusher 11 is arranged, which can be moved for pivoting a two-armed lever 16 of the linkage 35 with the keys 8 and 9 down. The pusher 11 consists of a pin 40, the outside of a thread 41 ( Fig. 4 ) and which is screwed into a sleeve 37, which according to FIG. 6a has a corresponding thread 42. The pin 40 is connected at an upper end with the key 8 and is moved to Spülauslösung with this down.

Die Hülse 37 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge des Verbindungsteils 15, wie beispielsweise die Figur 1 zeigt. Wird der Hebel 16 um das Drehgelenk 17 verschwenkt, so wird eine mit dem Hebel 16 über ein Drehgelenk 19 verbundene Verbindungsstange 18 angehoben. Diese Verbindungsstange 18 ist mit der Zugstange 34 verbunden, die damit in an sich bekannter Weise das Überlaufrohr 21 anhebt und damit eine Spülung auslöst. Werden die Tasten 8 und 9 losgelassen, so bewegt die Feder 10 die Tasten 8 und 9 wieder in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Ausgangsstellung. Bei einer Vollspülung gilt dies entsprechend lediglich für die Taste 8. Die in der Taste 8 gelagerte kleine Taste 9 verbleibt hierbei in der Ausgangsstellung.The sleeve 37 extends substantially over the entire length of the connecting part 15, such as the FIG. 1 shows. If the lever 16 is pivoted about the pivot 17, so connected to the lever 16 via a hinge 19 connecting rod 18 is raised. This connecting rod 18 is connected to the drawbar 34th connected, which thus raises the overflow pipe 21 in a conventional manner and thus triggers a flush. If the keys 8 and 9 are released, the spring 10 moves the keys 8 and 9 back into the in FIG. 1 shown starting position. In a full flush this applies accordingly only for the key 8. The stored in the key 8 small button 9 remains in this case in the starting position.

Das Führungsteil 12 ist über den Verbindungsteil 15 mit dem Joch 14 verbunden. Er ist somit bei einer Betätigung ortsfest. Der Verbindungsteil 15 ist mit seinem unteren Ende gemäss Figur 1 in eine Öffnung 38 eines Steges 39 des Joches 14 drehfest eingesetzt. Das Führungsteil 12 kann somit auf den Verbindungsteil 15 aufgeschraubt werden, ohne dass sich dieser dreht. Wie bereits erwähnt, sind für das Führungsteil 12 unterschiedliche Einschraubtiefen möglich. In der Figur 1 ist eine mittlere Einschraubtiefe gezeigt. Das Führungsteil 12 kann somit auch weiter nach unten oder nach oben geschraubt werden. Dies ist abhängig von der Dicke und Position des Spülkastendeckels 2.The guide member 12 is connected via the connecting part 15 with the yoke 14. He is thus stationary during an operation. The connecting part 15 is according to its lower end FIG. 1 inserted in an opening 38 of a web 39 of the yoke 14 rotatably. The guide member 12 can thus be screwed onto the connecting part 15, without this rotates. As already mentioned, 12 different screw-in depths are possible for the guide member. In the FIG. 1 a mean screwing depth is shown. The guide member 12 can thus be screwed further down or up. This depends on the thickness and position of the cistern lid. 2

Das Führungsteil 12 ist wie ersichtlich innerhalb des Tastengehäuses 7 angeordnet, mit diesem jedoch nicht fest verbunden. Dies gilt ebenfalls für die beiden Tasten 8 und 9. Der Spülkastendeckel 2 kann deshalb zusammen mit dem Tastengehäuse 7 und der Mutter 13 von der Auslaufgarnitur 32 abgehoben werden. Bei abgehobenem Spülkastendeckel 2 verbleiben dann somit die Tasten 8 und 9, der Drücker 11 und die Hülse 37 auf dem Verbindungsteil 15 bzw. auf dem Joch 14 fest montiert. Die beiden Tasten 8 und 9 sind auch bei abgehobenem Deckel 2 funktionstüchtig. Eine Spülung kann somit auch bei abgehobenem Deckel 2 und somit ohne Tastengehäuse 7 ausgelöst werden.The guide member 12 is as shown disposed within the key housing 7, but not firmly connected thereto. This also applies to the two buttons 8 and 9. The cistern lid 2 can therefore be lifted together with the key housing 7 and the nut 13 of the outlet fitting 32. When the cistern lid 2 is lifted, the keys 8 and 9, the pusher 11 and the sleeve 37 then remain firmly mounted on the connecting part 15 or on the yoke 14. The two buttons 8 and 9 are functional even when the lid 2 is lifted. A flush can thus be triggered even when the lid 2 and thus without key housing 7.

Das Tastengehäuse 7, die Tasten 8 und 9, die Feder 10, das Führungsteil 12 sowie der Drücker 11 bilden eine Montageeinheit 29, die vorgefertigt ist und die als Einheit mit dem Schwimmerventil 20 lösbar verbindbar ist.The key housing 7, the keys 8 and 9, the spring 10, the guide member 12 and the pushers 11 form a mounting unit 29 which is prefabricated and which is releasably connectable as a unit with the float valve 20.

Die oben erwähnte Funktionstrennung zwischen dem Tastengehäuse 7 und den in diesem angeordneten Teilen ermöglicht eine einfache und schnelle Montage, was nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 6a bis 6d näher erläutert wird.The above-mentioned separation of functions between the key housing 7 and arranged in this parts allows easy and quick installation, which hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 6a to 6d is explained in more detail.

Die Figur 6a zeigt den Spülkasten 1 mit montiertem Schwimmerventil 20 und aufgesetztem Deckel 2. Das Tastengehäuse 7 bildet mit den Tasten 8 und 9, dem Führungsteil 12 und dem Drücker 11 sowie der Feder 10 wie oben erwähnt eine Montageeinheit 29. Diese Montageeinheit 29 ist ebenfalls in den Figuren 2 und 5 dargestellt. Wie insbesondere die Figur 5 zeigt, besitzt das Führungsteil 12 wenigstens einen nockenförmigen Mitnehmer 26, der in eine der Ausnehmungen 25 eingreift. Grundsätzlich können auch mehrere solche Mitnehmer 26 vorgesehen sein. Diese greifen dann jeweils von unten in eine Ausnehmung 25 ein.The FIG. 6a shows the cistern 1 with mounted float valve 20 and the lid 2. The key housing 7 forms with the keys 8 and 9, the guide member 12 and the pusher 11 and the spring 10 as mentioned above, a mounting unit 29. This mounting unit 29 is also in the FIGS. 2 and 5 shown. How the particular FIG. 5 shows, the guide member 12 has at least one cam-shaped driver 26 which engages in one of the recesses 25. In principle, a plurality of such drivers 26 may be provided. These then each engage in a recess 25 from below.

Die Montageeinheit 29 wird von oben in die Öffnung 4 eingesetzt und durch Drehen des Tastengehäuses 7 auf das Gewinde 28 des Verbindungsteils 15 aufgeschraubt, bis der Kragen 7a gemäss der Figur 6b auf der Oberseite 36 des Spülkastendeckels 2 aufliegt. Durch den Eingriff des Mitnehmers 26 am Tastengehäuse 7 wird beim Drehen des Tastengehäuses 7 entsprechend auch das Führungsteil 12 gedreht. Gleichzeitig mit dem Führungsteil 12 wird auch der Stift 40 mitgedreht und in die Hülse 37 eingeschraubt. Durch Drehen der Montageeinheit 29 am Tastengehäuse 7 werden somit gleichzeitig das Führungsteil 12 mit dem Joch 14 und der Stift 40 mit der Hülse 37 verbunden. Beide Verbindungen sind zum Anpassen an den Spülkastendeckel 2 tiefenverstellbar.The mounting unit 29 is inserted from above into the opening 4 and screwed by turning the key housing 7 on the thread 28 of the connecting part 15 until the collar 7 a according to the FIG. 6b rests on the top 36 of the cistern lid 2. By the engagement of the driver 26 on the key housing 7, the guide member 12 is rotated accordingly when turning the key housing 7 accordingly. Simultaneously with the guide member 12 and the pin 40 is rotated and screwed into the sleeve 37. By turning the mounting unit 29 on the key housing 7 thus simultaneously the guide member 12 with the yoke 14 and the pin 40 are connected to the sleeve 37. Both connections are depth-adjustable for adaptation to the cistern lid 2.

Ist nun die Montageeinheit 29 gemäss Figur 6b am Joch 14 befestigt, so wird der Deckel 2 mit dem Tastengehäuse 7 vom Spülkastenbehälter 3 abgehoben, wie die Figur 6c zeigt. Von der Unterseite des Deckels 2 wird nun die Mutter 13 auf das Tastengehäuse 7 aufgeschraubt und damit das Tastengehäuse 7 fest mit dem Spülkastendeckel 2 verbunden. Der Spülkastendeckel 2 kann nun mit dem Tastengehäuse 7 wieder aufgesetzt werden. Die Ablaufgarnitur 32 ist damit gemäss Figur 6d montiert.Is now the mounting unit 29 according to FIG. 6b attached to the yoke 14, the lid 2 is lifted with the key housing 7 from the Spülkastenbehälter 3, as the FIG. 6c shows. From the underside of the lid 2, the nut 13 is now screwed onto the key housing 7 and thus the key housing 7 firmly connected to the cistern lid 2. The cistern lid 2 can now be replaced with the key housing 7 again. The waste fitting 32 is thus according to FIG. 6d assembled.

Bei einer Revision des Spülkastens 1 kann der Spülkastendeckel 2 ohne weiteres vom Spülkastenbehälter 3 abgehoben werden. Das Tastengehäuse 7 verbleibt hierbei am Spülkastendeckel 2. Auch bei abgehobenem Spülkastendeckel 2 ist die Ablaufgarnitur voll funktionsfähig. Die Spülfunktion kann somit bei abgehobenem Spülkastendeckel 2 überprüft werden. Nach der Revision wird der Spülkastendeckel 2 wieder aufgesetzt, wonach der Spülkasten 1 wieder funktionsfähig ist.In a revision of the cistern 1, the cistern lid 2 can be easily lifted from the cistern 3. The key housing 7 in this case remains on the cistern lid 2. Even when the cistern lid 2 is lifted the pop-up waste is fully functional. The rinsing function can thus be checked when the cistern lid 2 is lifted. After the revision of the cistern lid 2 is replaced, after which the cistern 1 is operational again.
