Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a toilet, whose water tank is integrated in the toilet bowl itself.
  • the toilets comprise a water tank where is stored the water that will be discharged to the toilet bowl when its flushing is driven.
  • the toilet tanks were placed typically just above the height defined by the upper part of the toilet bowl, integrated inside a wall or placed on the rear part of the toilet bowl.
  • the toilet of the present invention comprises a bowl with an upper rim and a water tank, the water can be flushed from said tank inside said bowl through said upper rim, and it is characterised in that said water tank is placed around the external surface of said bowl, below the height defined by the upper rim of said bowl.
  • the toilet bowl can be conventional and the tank is an external addition that during the normal use of the toilet is hardly visible. Furthermore, it permits to obtain advantages regarding the space savings.
  • said water tank has a complementary shape with the external surface of said bowl.
  • said water tank is placed around said bowl at least on its frontal parts and/or its sides.
  • Said water tank can be attached to the external surface of the bowl, or said water tank can be made from a single piece with said bowl, and in this case said water tank and said bowl are made from a ceramic material.
  • the tank could also be made from a plastic material.
  • said water tank can be coated with a external housing.
  • said housing is made from a single piece with the water tank and with the bowl, and said housing can be made from ceramic material, or it can be made from any suitable material, such as plastic material.
  • said water tank comprises advantageously a water outlet provided with a tube placed above the height defined by said upper rim.
  • the toilet according to the present invention also comprises a flushing element that blows air or drives water for flushing water from the tank to said bowl. Therefore, the quantity of water that passes from the water tank to the bowl can be regulated with accuracy, just regulating the operation time of the flushing element.
  • toilet is used to define a toilet as a whole, i.e. a water tank and a bowl.
  • water tank means the tank that houses the water that will be flushed each time the user wants
  • bowl means the part of the toilet that receives the water from the tank.
  • the bowl comprises an internal surface that receives the water and an external surface around which, according to the invention, the water tank is placed, as defined in claim 1.
  • the toilet of the present invention comprises a bowl 1 provided with an upper rim 2 and a water tank 3.
  • said water tank 3 is placed around said bowl 1 and below the height defined by said upper rim 2.
  • Said water tank 3 has an internal shape complementary with the external shape of said bowl 1, so that the available space around said bowl 1 can be used.
  • This arrangement of the tank water 3 permits, on one hand, to use the current models of toilet bowls 1, preventing the design of different toilet bowls when the tank is incorporated to them and, on the other hand, the space that occupies the tank external to the bowl is removed. Furthermore, the visual impact of the water tank 3 around the bowl 1 is minimum, because it is placed below the upper rim 2 of the toilet bowl 1.
  • the water tank 3 is made from a single piece with the toilet bowl 1, from ceramic material, so that they are manufactured together during the manufacturing process of the toilet.
  • the water tank 3 can be just attached in any suitable way to the external surface of said bowl 1.
  • the tank 3 could also be made from plastic material.
  • the toilet of the present invention also comprises a water outlet 4, which is connected to the water tank 3 by a tube 5 placed above said upper rim 2. Said tube is necessary to fulfil the requirements of the regulations, so that the input of the water from the bowl inside the water tank and the return to the water mains are prevented.
  • the toilet of the present invention comprises a flushing element, preferably an air injection element 6, that injects pressurized air so that the water inside the tank 3 is flushed to the bowl 1 by water outlets provided in said upper rim 2.
  • the water flushing can be done in any suitable way, providing the necessary power, such as e.g. by an hydraulic pump, an air blower, a pneumatic piston, etc.
  • the volume of water that is flushed at once can be regulated with a greater accuracy than in the current toilets, because it is just necessary to regulate the operation time of the water flushing element.
  • the shape of the water tank 3 of the toilet of the present invention can be any shape, if the requirement of being placed around the external surface of the bowl 2 is fulfilled.
  • said water tank 3 can be coated with a external housing.
  • said housing is made from a single piece with the water tank 3 and with the bowl 1, and the housing can be made from a ceramic material, or from any suitable material, such as e.g. plastic material.
