Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuating device for a drain valve of a cistern according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Actuators for flush toilets of toilets or urinals are known in the art.
  • the actuator according to the DE 31 39 834 was classified by the user with regard to the operation as very good, especially because of the training of the actuator, the outlet of the amount of flushing water from the cistern can be dosed arbitrarily.
  • an actuator according to the preamble of claim 1 is known in which force is transmitted via an actuating plate to a lever, which in turn transmits this force to a pusher rod of the drain valve.
  • the actuator come to lie with its front surface flush with the wall in which it is installed. Due to the fixed arrangement of the cistern, this means that the actuator is formed with a shallow depth, so that a flush arrangement is made possible to the wall surface.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an actuator for a cistern, which can be operated ergonomically.
  • an operating device for a drain valve of a cistern comprises an actuating plate in which at least one actuating element is mounted for a Spülausments.
  • the at least one actuating element is movable in the rinsing release via an actuating path from an initial position to an end position.
  • the actuating device comprises a lever for transmitting the movement of the actuating element on a pusher rod of the drain valve, wherein the lever is designed such that upon actuation of the actuating element, the lever covers an actuating travel, which is greater than the actuating path of the at least one actuating element.
  • the lever is pivotally connected to a bearing portion with the operating plate in conjunction and acts with a storage portion opposite the arranged actuating portion on the pusher rod.
  • the actuating portion has a first portion and an adjoining second portion, wherein the first portion is at an angle to the second portion, so that over the first portion of the actuating movement, the actuating element is in contact with the first portion, and that on the second part of the actuating movement is the actuating element in contact with the second section. Due to the angled configuration, a simple structure for achieving the desired power transmission or transmission can be created.
  • Such a transfer path is advantageous because it allows the user to trigger the flushing particularly ergonomic.
  • the lever is designed such that upon actuation of the actuating element via the lever over a first section of the operating path, a larger force is transferable, as over a second section. This allows the operating distance to be further reduced, which is also advantageous for the ergonomic operation.
  • the lever is designed such that a force curve is transferable, which substantially corresponds to the characteristic of a drain valve of a cistern.
  • a force curve is transferable, which substantially corresponds to the characteristic of a drain valve of a cistern.
