Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toilet seat hinge according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the seat and the cover are mounted along a pivot axis, wherein the lowering movement are controlled by a damping device with a spring-loaded link guide and a liquid damper.
  • the combination of spring-loaded link guide and fluid damper requires considerable device complexity.
  • the WO 99/63875 A1 and the WO 99/63874 A1 show toilet seat joints, where the seat and the lid are arranged on a common pivot axis.
  • This pivot axis is formed by two hinge bolts leading the seat and the cover, which interact with a damping device in the form of spring elements.
  • These hinge pins are via a connection mechanism coupled, which allows a release of the set of the ceramic. This solution can be realized only with a considerable device complexity.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a toilet seat hinge that is relatively inexpensive to produce.
  • the toilet seat hinge is designed with a damping device for supporting a toilet seat set during a pivoting movement, wherein the damping device is connected to an adapter and both components together form a pivot axis for a cover or a seat of the toilet seat set.
  • the adapter has a substantially cylindrical base body with a receptacle for placement on a hinged to the ceramic hinge pin.
  • the receptacle passes through the adapter in the diagonal direction and is provided to a receiving space with a support for a head of a fixing screw, which is axially screwed into a mounting hole of the hinge pin. By screwing this fixing screw the adapter is then biased against a contact shoulder of the hinge pin.
  • the receiving space is designed so that the head of the fixing screw can completely submerge, so that - similar to the last-described prior art - no components upwardly - away from the ceramic - protrude from the adapter.
  • the attachment of the toilet seat hinge is particularly simple if the hinge pin can be clamped on an eccentric plate on the ceramic. By relative rotation of this cam plate, the toilet seat hinge can be fixed to ceramics with different hole spacings.
  • the protruding from the ceramic hinge pin is downgraded to the adapter out, this step forms the support shoulder for the adapter.
  • this support shoulder is adapted to the outer contour of the adapter and thus seen in the pivot axis has an approximately cylindrical shell-shaped construction with the diameter of the adapter, so that it is supported flat.
  • the aesthetic appearance can be further improved if a cover sleeve is pushed onto the protruding from the toilet seat end portion of the adapter, which has a longitudinal groove to the hinge pin into which the hinge pin dips.
  • the manufacturing costs of the toilet seat hinge are particularly low when the hinge pin made of metal and the adapter are made of plastic.
  • FIG. 1 the basic structure of a toilet seat hinge 1 is shown, via which a toilet seat set with a toilet seat 2 and a toilet lid 4 to a ceramic (shown in FIG. 1 is only a test plate) can be fastened.
  • Both the toilet seat 2 and the toilet lid 4 fastening tabs (block) 6, 8 are formed, in accordance with a damper unit FIG. 2 dips.
  • both the toilet seat 2 and the toilet lid 4 in each case two fastening tabs 6, 8 are each designed with a toilet seat hinge - for simplicity, only one side of this pivot bearing will be described below.
  • damper unit 10 protrudes in the illustrated embodiment, only one end portion 12 of the coaxially arranged fastening tabs 6, 8 out. This end portion 12 is placed on a hinge pin 14 attached to the ceramic.
  • the damper unit 10 consists essentially of a damper and a coaxially arranged adapter 18, the end portion 12 - as stated above - from the mounting tabs 6, 8 protrudes.
  • the damper 10 is designed in a manner known per se as a viscous damper, with a flattened piston rod 20 of a viscose-damped rotary piston projecting out of the damper unit 10 in the axial direction.
  • This piston rod 20 is rotatably connected to one side of the toilet seat set with the mounting tab 6 of the toilet seat and on the other side of the toilet seat set with the mounting bracket 8 of the toilet cover 4, so that the lowering movement of both components (seat and Lid) is attenuated via one, one-sided damper unit 10.
  • the damper unit 10 forms a common pivot axis for the toilet seat 2 and the toilet lid 4 .
  • the adapter 18 and a housing shell 22 of the damper unit 10 are integrally made of plastic, so that the damper unit 10 is present as a structural unit.
  • the adapter 18 and the Damper 16 form separately from each other, in this case then adapter and damper rotatably connected to each other.
  • this approximately diagonal penetrating receptacle 24 is formed in the - as in FIG. 1 shown - the end portion of the hinge pin 14 is immersed.
  • an eccentric plate 26 inserted by means of a dowel 28 in the bore formed on the ceramic and by turning (arrow) of the eccentric 26 with respect to the dowel axis 28 of the desired distance D ( FIG. 1 ) is set between the hinge pin axes.
  • the hinge pin 14 passes through the respective cap 30 in the axial direction.
  • a damper unit 10 according to FIG. 2 inserted into the attachment tabs 6, 8 on each side of the toilet seat set and fixed there in the axial direction.
  • FIG. 5 This Axialfix ist done by a securing clip 32 which passes through a peripheral pocket 34 of the fastening tab 6 into a securing groove 36 (FIG. FIG. 2 ) of the damper unit 10 is clipped.
  • the cylindrical receptacle 24 is extended upward to a receiving space 38.
  • this receiving space 38 is formed rectangular in the direction of the hinge pin seen.
  • the clear width and depth of the receiving space 38 is selected so that a head 40 of a screw 42 can completely submerge and thus does not protrude in the radial direction beyond the outer periphery of the end portion 12 of the adapter.
  • the depth of this receiving space 38 is limited by a support 44 for the head 40 of the screw 42. In this edition 44 opens in FIG. 2 visible cylindrical section of the receptacle 24.
  • the free end 46 of the hinge pin is downgraded in the radial direction and provided with a mounting hole 48 into which the screw 42 is screwed.
  • the support shoulder 50 formed by the downgrade is shown in FIG FIGS. 3 and 4 concave, where the concavity corresponding to the outer diameter of the end portion 12 of the adapter 18 is formed.
  • the toilet seat set is placed on the two hinge pins 14, wherein in each case the end portion 46 is immersed in the receptacle 24.
  • visible end face of the end portion 46 terminates flush with the support 44 and the in FIG. 5 lying below peripheral portion of the end portion 12 is flat on the concave support shoulder 50, the contour was of course aligned over the eccentric 26 coaxial with the pivot axis of the toilet seat hinge.
  • This alignment is made possible inter alia by the fact that the hinge pin is rotatably mounted in the eccentric plate 26.
  • the two fastening screws 42 are screwed, so that the toilet seat set is free of play and extremely accurately connected to the ceramic.
  • FIG. 5 is then still the receiving space 38 open at the top, so that can accumulate in this area soiling, which can be eliminated only with great effort. Furthermore, the in FIG. 5 shown appearance not high aesthetic standards, since the existing plastic adapter 18 and the existing metal hinge pin do not match optically.
  • a cover sleeve 52 is pushed in the direction of arrow on the end portion 12 of the adapter 18, said cover sleeve 52 at its in FIG. 6 lying below the peripheral portion has a longitudinal groove into which when pushing the provided with the support shoulder 50 part of the hinge pin 14 (possibly also the support sleeve) is immersed.
  • the cover sleeve 52 is executed closed at the end, extends up to the fastening tab 6 and is made of metal or metallized plastic, so that when deferred cover sleeve 52 (see FIG. 1 ) the appearance of a completely made of high quality steel toilet seat joint is achieved.
  • the above-described toilet seat hinge allows extremely quick and easy installation of a toilet seat set and ensures a play-free function even after a variety of load cycles. Furthermore, this toilet seat hinge can be produced extremely inexpensively, with no compromises having to be made with regard to the aesthetic appearance compared with the prior art described at the outset.
  • FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a section of the toilet seat hinge 1 according to a second embodiment.
  • the toilet seat hinge 1 in FIG. 7 partially transparent.
  • the essential difference from the first exemplary embodiment lies in the design of the receiving space 38.
  • the toilet seat hinge 1 is shown with the adapter 18, the end portion 12 is placed on the hinge pin 14.
  • the adapter 18 rests with its outer circumferential surface on an end face of the sleeve-shaped support shoulder 50.
  • On the repelling of the support shoulder 50 side of the approximately rectangular receiving space 38 is introduced in the adapter 18.
  • In this approximately rectangular support 44 is formed, which is encompassed by wall sections of the receiving space 38.
  • the support 44 serves as a contact surface for a screw head 54 of the screw 42, which is screwed into the hinge pin 14.
  • the screw 42 is designed as a hexagon socket screw.
  • the receiving space 38 is designed such that in the screwed state of the screw 42, the cover sleeve 52 can be pushed onto the end portion 12 of the adapter 18.
  • FIG. 7 is the approximately concave configuration of the adapter 18 facing side of the support shoulder 50 recognizable.
  • the adapter 18 is firmly fixed between the screw head 54 and the support shoulder 50.
  • a toilet seat hinge with a damping device which is integrally connected to an adapter, said elements together form a pivot axis for a toilet seat and a toilet lid.
  • the adapter has a receptacle for placement on an anchored to the ceramic hinge pin.
  • the receptacle passes through the adapter in the diagonal direction and has a receiving space with a support for a head of a fixing screw, which is axially insertable into a mounting hole of the hinge pin so that the adapter is supported on a support shoulder of the hinge pin.
