Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an innovative multifunctional bathroom facility and to a method for manufacturing such a bathroom facility.
  • multifunctional bathroom facilities are known to be made comprising both a WC bowl and a bidet bowl, adjacent to each other.
  • Such solutions normally foresee the assembly of the single prefabricated components, causing the end product to be costly to make and of poor quality.
  • the various components are simply juxtaposed adjacent to each other in this way substantially being positioned close to each other, to such an extent that the use of one of the components prevents the use of the other.
  • the water dispensing controls are also difficult to reach for the user seated on the bathroom facility.
  • DE-A-4308269 discloses a multifunctional bathroom facility made of a monolithic body comprising an upper wall and both the WC and bidet. A combination of a toilet bowl and a bidet is shown in US 2004/0083543 A .
  • the preamble of claim 1 is known in the DE-document which document can be seen as the closest prior art.
  • the general purpose of the present invention is to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a method for the manufacture of multifunctional bathroom facilities which is cost-effective and which allows a desired position of both the WC and the bidet in the end product to be selected, without requiring exceedingly expensive machinery.
  • a further purpose of the invention is that of providing a multifunctional high quality bathroom facility, which is convenient to use as well as comfortable for the user.
  • Another purpose of the invention is that of providing a bathroom facility which can be used as a furnishing element when it is not carrying out its primary function as a bathroom facility.
  • a method for manufacturing a bathroom facility provided with a bidet bowl and with a WC bowl adjacent to each other comprising the steps of:
  • a bathroom facility provided with a bidet bowl and a WC bowl adjacent to each other, comprising a monolithic body which forms an upper wall of the bathroom facility and a first of said two bowls, said upper wall being provided with an opening which provides access to a second of said two bowls, characterized in that said second bowl is made of a separate piece that is fixed at the bottom of the monolithic body at said opening.
  • a multifunctional bathroom facility 11 comprising a monolithic body 12 which forms an upper wall 13 of the bathroom facility and a bidet bowl 15, integral with the wall 13.
  • the monolithic body 12 is made of ceramic material.
  • the wall 13 On its perimeter edge, the wall 13 comprises a downward projection 29, clearly represented also in figure 2 .
  • the upper wall 13 almost has an elongated rectangular shape.
  • the body 12 Laterally with respect to the bidet bowl 15, the body 12 has an opening 60 through which the WC bowl 14 can be accessed (see fig. 2 ).
  • the bidet bowl comprises a lower discharge 20, and two water dispensers 18, 19, arranged at the front side and back side of the bowl, respectively.
  • the bathroom facility also advantageously comprises a cover 16, moveable between a vertical raised position ( fig. 1 ), and a horizontal lowered position to cover the bidet bowl 15 and the WC bowl 14 ( fig. 2 ).
  • the cover 16 In the raised position, the cover 16 can act as a backrest, whereas in the lowered position, it has the function of a seat, forming a bench.
  • the cover 16 has a rectangular shape, corresponding to that of the wall 13 of the monolithic body 12.
  • the cover 16 is hinged to the body 12 at the hinges 17, on the rear side of the wall 13.
  • Control means for supplying water to the two bowls are arranged between the bidet bowl 15 and the WC bowl 14.
  • the control means comprise a handle 24 to control the dispensers of the bidet, and a button 23 to control the flushing of the WC.
  • the control means 23, 24 are arranged in a concavity 22 formed on the upper surface of the wall 13, in such a manner so as to not interfere with the movement of the cover 16 towards the lowered horizontal position.
  • the WC bowl 14 is formed with a separate piece that is fixed at the bottom of the monolithic body 12 at the opening 60.
  • the monolithic body 12 is provided with an annular projection 25 which surrounds the opening 60 and faces downwards. The projection 25 is enclosed by an upper edge of the WC bowl 14 ( fig. 2 ).
  • the WC bowl 14 comprises a water inlet 26 and a lower discharge 28, which communicates with the main cavity of the bowl through a siphon 27.
  • the bowl 14 is advantageously realized in a single piece of ceramic. The gluing point of the bowl 14 against the wall 13 of the body 12 remains covered from sight due to the presence of the edge 29.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show two sequences of manufacturing operations of bathroom facilities according to the invention with the WC and the bidet in different positions.
  • figure 3 shows the sequence for making a bathroom facility having the WC on the left.
  • the monolithic body 12 is produced in ceramic, using techniques known in the field of manufacturing bathroom facilities.
  • the body 12 is made by casting the ceramic material in a suitable mould, drying the product, and then painting it after it has been extracted from the mould to then subject it to a baking process.
  • the monolithic body 12 is initially made with an upper wall 13 in which two concave portions 15, 15a are formed both suitable for making a bidet bowl.
  • the two concave portions 15, 15a are almost identical to each other.
  • the concavity 15a is cut from the monolithic ceramic body 12, with a horizontal cut, in such a manner so as to form the opening 60 on the wall 13 of the body 12.
  • the cutting is carried out in such a manner so as to keep the annular projection 25, already previously described.
  • a WC bowl 14 is provided, which is brought close to the body 12 at the projection 25.
  • the WC bowl 14 is fixed to the body 12, in such a manner so as to remain accessible through the opening 60.
  • the fixing can be carried out according to any prior art, for example through gluing, on the lower bottom of the wall 13.
  • Figure 4 shows an analogous sequence of images representing the productive process of a bathroom facility, this time with the WC on the right.
  • the monolithic body 112 is initially made identical to the monolithic body 12, with two bidet bowls 115, 115a. In this case, however, it is the bowl 115a on the right that is cut out from the body 112. At the opening which is formed on the upper wall 113 a WC bowl 114 is fixed, so as to enclose the annular projection 125.
  • a multifunctional bathroom facility is thus obtained having the WC positioned on the right.
  • the manufacturing method of the aforementioned bathroom facilities allows the reciprocal positions of the WC and bidet to be personalized in a cost-effective manner, starting from a same piece obtained with a same mould.
  • a multifunctional bathroom facility which is comfortable for the user has been provided.
  • the WC and the bidet are not simply juxtaposed, but rather inserted in a ceramic plane, at a certain distance from one another. Between the two bowls there is space for the water supply controls, which can be easily accessed even in a seated position.
  • the bathroom facility can be easily transformed into a bench, thanks to the cover element.
  • the product is of high quality, from both a functional and aesthetic point of view.
  • the bathroom facility can be manufactured cost-effectively, and the reciprocal position of the WC and bidet can be easily personalized during the production stage, without requiring special machinery, such as different shaped moulds.
  • the monolithic ceramic body could initially be made with two WC bowls, rather than two bidet bowls, foreseeing a subsequent cutting step of one of the two WCs and the fixing of a bidet bowl.
