Ainsi, cet équipement pourra s'adapter très facilement tant dans les sens transversal en fonction de l'écartement des deux trous de fixation des lunettes avec abattant, que dans le sens longitudinal pour tenir compte de l'éventuelle réserve d'eau installée directement sur l'arrière de la cuvette de WC.  Thus, this equipment can adapt very easily both in the transverse directions depending on the spacing of the two mounting holes of the glasses with flap, as in the longitudinal direction to take into account the possible water reserve installed directly on the back of the toilet bowl.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention le diffuseur comprend un boîtier dont le fond est muni d'une entrée d'air surmontée d'une soufflante et comportant une charge de matières diffusantes et odoriférantes, la sortie de la soufflante alimentant l'entrée d'un chemin de passage d'air puisé passant sur la charge de matières diffusantes et odoriférantes et le dessus du boîtier comporte des ouvertures de sortie d'air chargé de matières odoriférantes.  According to another characteristic of the invention the diffuser comprises a housing whose bottom is provided with an air inlet surmounted by a fan and having a load of diffusing and odoriferous materials, the outlet of the fan feeding the inlet of a pulsed air passageway passing over the charge of diffusing and odoriferous materials and the top of the housing has air outlet openings charged with odoriferous materials.
Cette forme de réalisation du diffuseur permet d'intégrer celui-ci facilement dans le boîtier de l'équipement sans avoir à augmenter les dimensions du boîtier et de créer des problèmes d'encombrement ou de positionnement de l'équipement sur le dessus de la cuvette, devant l'éventuelle réserve d'eau portée par l'arrière de la cuvette. Ce diffuseur est avantageusement installé de manière amovible dans le logement du boîtier de qui, d'une part, permet le remplacement du diffuseur en cas de défaillance de son pulseur (ventilateur) ou pour faciliter le remplacement ou le chargement avec la matière diffusante et/ ou odoriférante. This embodiment of the diffuser allows to integrate it easily into the housing of the equipment without having to increase the dimensions of the housing and create problems of size or positioning of the equipment on the top of the bowl , in front of the possible reserve of water carried by the back of the bowl. This diffuser is advantageously installed removably in the housing housing which, on the one hand, allows the replacement of the diffuser in case of failure of its blower (fan) or to facilitate replacement or loading with the diffusing material and / or odoriferous.
Suivant une autre caractéristique le couvercle du boîtier du 5 socle comporte des ouvertures au-dessus du compartiment logeant le diffuseur et le chapeau couvrant la zone ajourée au-dessus du compartiment du dispositif d'aspiration et les ouvertures au-dessus du compartiment du diffuseur.  According to another feature the base housing cover has apertures above the compartment housing the diffuser and the cap covering the perforated area above the suction device compartment and the openings above the diffuser compartment.
La sortie de l'air filtré pendant le fonctionnement du dispo- i O sitif d'aspiration et la sortie de l'air chargé de matières odoriférantes ou diffusantes, sont deux sorties séparées si bien qu'en particulier, l'air chargé de matières odoriférantes ne risque pas d'être aspiré dans le dispositif d'aspiration et de traverser le filtre à aire de ce dispositif, ce qui aurait le double inconvénient d'une part de neutraliser l'air odoriféré et d 'autre part The output of the filtered air during the operation of the suction device and the outlet of the air charged with odorous or diffusing materials are two separate outputs, so that, in particular, the air containing substances odoriferous is not likely to be sucked into the suction device and pass through the filter area of this device, which would have the double disadvantage of one hand to neutralize the odoriferous air and secondly
1 5 de solliciter inutilement le filtre par exemple le charbon actif et de l'épuiser prématurément. 1 5 unnecessarily solicit the filter for example activated carbon and exhaust it prematurely.
Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse le canai d'aspiration d'air du dessous de la platine a une forme en V ouvert vers la cuvette munie d'ailettes dirigeant le flux d'air dans le canal et dont la sor-0 tie vers le dispositif d'aspiration est décentrée dans le sens de circulation d'air aspiré par le dispositif d'aspiration.  According to another advantageous characteristic, the suction duct of the bottom air of the plate has a V-shape open towards the bowl provided with fins directing the flow of air in the channel and the sor-0 tie towards the device suction is off-center in the direction of airflow sucked by the suction device.
Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse le circuit de commande assure la temporisation pour temporiser de manière réglable le fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration (début et durée du fonctionne-5 ment) le fonctionnement du diffuseur (début et durée du fonctionnement) .  According to another advantageous characteristic, the control circuit provides the time delay for adjustably delaying the operation of the suction device (start and duration of operation) the operation of the diffuser (start and duration of operation).
Le circuit de commande gère le fonctionnement tant du dispositif d'aspiration purifiant et filtrant l'air, que du diffuseur diffusant de l'air parfumé. Cela permet de développer des cycles de fonctionnement indépendants pour les deux dispositifs et en particulier de faire éventuelle-0 ment chevaucher les deux cycles de fonctionnement ou de séparer les deux cycles de fonctionnement. En outre , cela permet de régler également la durée de fonctionnement de chacun des deux dispositifs et en particu¬ lier de prolonger la durée de fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration au- delà du temps d'occupation détecté par le détecteur de présence.The control circuit manages the operation of both the suction device purifying and filtering air, the diffuser diffusing air scented. This makes it possible to develop independent operating cycles for the two devices and, in particular, to possibly overlap the two operating cycles or to separate the two operating cycles. Furthermore, this allows also adjusting the operating time of each of the two devices and in particu ¬ bind to extend the operating time of the suction device beyond the holding times detected by the presence detector.
5 Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse le circuit de commande comporte des organes de réglage accessibles à l'ouverture du boîtier pour régler la temporisation du dispositif d'aspiration et celle du diffuseur. Cela permet d'adapter le fonctionnement de l'équipement aux données volumétriques ou plus généralement géométriques de l'espace dans lequel est installé le WC et en particulier de tenir compte de l'éventuel fonctionnement d'une ventilation forcée ou autre équipement. According to another advantageous characteristic, the control circuit comprises adjustment members accessible at the opening of the housing for adjusting the timing of the suction device and that of the diffuser. This makes it possible to adapt the operation of the equipment to the volumetric or more generally geometric data of the space in which the toilet is installed and in particular to take into account the possible operation of forced ventilation or other equipment.
Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse le socle comporte une platine munie de plaquettes mobiles de réglage, appuyées sur le dessus de la platine au niveau de fenêtres réalisées dans la platine pour adapter les vis de fixation de l'équipement à la géométrie des trous de fixation de la cuvette.  According to another advantageous characteristic the base comprises a plate provided with movable adjusting plates, supported on the top of the plate at windows made in the plate to adapt the fastening screws of the equipment to the geometry of the mounting holes of the bowl.
Et en particulier les plaquettes de fixation réglables s'appuient sur le dessus de la platine par l'intermédiaire de supports en forme de plaques ayant une fenêtre correspondant à la fenêtre de la platine et bordant celle-ci pour transmettre les efforts des vis de fixation et des plaquettes réglables à la platine.  And in particular the adjustable fixing plates rest on the top of the plate by means of plate-shaped supports having a window corresponding to the window of the plate and bordering it to transmit the forces of the fixing screws and plates adjustable to the plate.
Ce moyen de montage permet comme déjà indiqué de manière générale ci-dessus, une parfaite adaptation de l'équipement à la cuvette existante.  This mounting means allows as already indicated generally above, a perfect adaptation of the equipment to the existing bowl.
Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse, According to another advantageous characteristic,

Description de modes de réalisation  Description of embodiments
Selon la figure 1 , l'invention concerne un équipement de cuvette de WC formé d'un socle 1 fixé à la cuvette non représentée et portant une lunette 2 articulée, couverte par son abattant 21 également ar i- culé, ainsi qu'un dispositif d'aspiration 3 et un diffuseur 4 logés dans le boîtier 1 1 du socle. La face inférieure 22 de la lunette 2 (figure 2) est munie d'un joint 23 à deux branches 231 , 232, ouvert à l'avant et à l'arrière pour permettre le passage de l'air de l'extérieur et à travers la cuvette jusque vers un orifice d'aspiration 12 réalisé dans le socle 1 et débouchant dans le dispositif d'aspiration 3 formé d'un rotor équipé d'un moteur électrique qui aspire l'air et le refoule à travers un filtre débouchant du boîtier 1 1. According to Figure 1, the invention relates to a toilet bowl equipment formed of a base 1 attached to the bowl not shown and carrying a hinged bezel 2, covered by its flap 21 also arig- and a device suction 3 and a diffuser 4 housed in the housing 1 1 of the base. The lower face 22 of the telescope 2 (FIG. 2) is provided with a joint 23 with two branches 231, 232, open at the front and at the rear to allow the passage of air from outside and to through the bowl to a suction port 12 made in the base 1 and opening into the suction device 3 formed of a rotor equipped with an electric motor that sucks the air and discharges through a filter emerging from the casing 1 1.
Le socle 1 comporte une avancée 13 munie, dans sa partie supérieure, d'une fenêtre de détection 14, détectant l'occupation de la lunette ; sous la fenêtre 14, le socle 1 forme un canal d'aspiration 15 débou- chant dans l'orifice 12 avec le dessus de l'arrière de la cuvette auquel il est fixé. Le socle 1 porte également l'articulation de la lunette 2 et de l'abattant 21.  The base 1 comprises an advance 13 provided, in its upper part, with a detection window 14, detecting the occupation of the telescope; under the window 14, the base 1 forms a suction channel 15 opening into the orifice 12 with the top of the back of the bowl to which it is attached. The base 1 also carries the articulation of the bezel 2 and the flap 21.
Le fonctionnement de l'équipement est commandé par un circuit de commande logé dans l'avancée 13 du socle 1. Ce circuit com- mande le fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration 3 et le diffuseur 4 selon la présence détectée par le capteur de présence notamment à infrarouge de la fenêtre 14, la temporisation du fonctionnement ainsi que l'affichage des fonctions telle que la charge de la batterie ou plus généralement l'aptitude de fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration 3 et du dif- fuseur 4.  The operation of the equipment is controlled by a control circuit housed in the advance 13 of the base 1. This circuit controls the operation of the suction device 3 and the diffuser 4 according to the presence detected by the presence sensor in particular at the infrared of the window 14, the delay of the operation as well as the display of the functions such as the charge of the battery or, more generally, the operability of the suction device 3 and the diffuser 4.
De façon plus détaillée, selon la figure 2, le canal d'aspiration d'air 15 est en forme de V ouvert vers la cuvette au niveau de l'avancée 13 du socle 1 ; sa sortie, c'est-à-dire sa petite extrémité, est tournée vers l'orifice 12 du dispositif d'aspiration 3. Cette forme est décen- trée dans le sens de circulation d'air imposée par le rotor, de manière à favoriser la circulation d'air au niveau du rotor et à travers celui-ci. Le joint 23 par lequel la lunette 2 s'appuie sur le dessus de la cuvette, avec ses deux branches 231 , 232, symétriques, délimite ce canal et la zone d'aspiration de la cuvette.  In greater detail, according to FIG. 2, the air intake duct 15 is V-shaped open towards the trough at the end 13 of the base 1; its outlet, that is to say its small end, is turned towards the orifice 12 of the suction device 3. This shape is decentered in the direction of air flow imposed by the rotor, so as to promote the circulation of air at the rotor and through it. The seal 23 by which the bezel 2 is supported on the top of the bowl, with its two branches 231, 232, symmetrical, defines this channel and the suction zone of the bowl.
Selon les figures 1 et 2, la lunette 2 est reliée au socle 1 par une articulation formée de deux charnières. L'axe des charnières et donc l'axe de l'articulation de la lunette 2 au socle 1 sont déportés au-dessus du socle, au-delà du bord arrière 24 de la lunette de façon à permettre une réunion quasi-jointive entre le bord arrière 24 de la lunette 2 et le bord avant 16 du socle 1 lorsque la lunette repose sur la cuvette.  According to Figures 1 and 2, the bezel 2 is connected to the base 1 by a hinge formed of two hinges. The axis of the hinges and therefore the axis of the articulation of the telescope 2 to the base 1 are offset above the base, beyond the rear edge 24 of the telescope so as to allow an almost contiguous meeting between the rear edge 24 of the bezel 2 and the front edge 16 of the base 1 when the telescope rests on the bowl.
La vue de dessous de la figure 3 montre la platine 5 constituant le dessous du socle 1. La platine 5 reçoit le boîtier 1 1 imbriqué par son bord dans le bord de la platine. Le canal d'aspiration 15 et l'orifice d'aspiration 12 sont réalisés dans la platine 5 qui comporte de part et d'autre du canal 15, un secteur en forme de losange constituant un appui 51 traversé par une fenêtre 52 pour le montage des vis de fixation du socle à la cuvette. The bottom view of Figure 3 shows the plate 5 constituting the underside of the base 1. The plate 5 receives the housing 1 1 imbricated by its edge in the edge of the plate. The suction channel 15 and the orifice suction 12 are made in the plate 5 which comprises on either side of the channel 15, a diamond-shaped sector constituting a support 51 through which a window 52 for mounting the screws fixing the base to the bowl.
Ce montage de fixation se compose (figures 4A, 4B) d'un support trapézoïdal 53 constitué par une plaque métallique munie d'une fenêtre 531 de dimensions correspondant à celles de la fenêtre 52 et d'une plaquette 54, mobile, barrant transversalement la fenêtre 531 dans une position libre.  This fixing assembly consists (FIGS. 4A, 4B) of a trapezoidal support 53 constituted by a metal plate provided with a window 531 of dimensions corresponding to those of the window 52 and a movable plate 54, transversely window 531 in a free position.
Le support 53 vient s'appuyer autour de la fenêtre 52 de la platine 5 et la plaquette 54 vient au-dessus du support 53. La plaquette 54 a une fente oblongue 541 pour être traversée par une vis 57 dont la tête s'appuie contre les bords de la fente 541. Le support 53 s'appuie dans une position précise contre le dessus de la platine 5, par exemple à l'aide d'un ergot 55 reçu par l'orifice 532 du support 53,  The support 53 comes to rest around the window 52 of the plate 5 and the plate 54 comes above the support 53. The plate 54 has an oblong slot 541 to be traversed by a screw 57 whose head rests against the edges of the slot 541. The support 53 is supported in a precise position against the top of the plate 5, for example by means of a lug 55 received by the orifice 532 of the support 53,
Chaque plaquette 54 s'appuie sur un support 53 et sa fente transversale 541 permet l'ajustage pour mettre la lunette 2 précisément au milieu de la cuvette selon les différentes dimensions de cuvettes, le réglage longitudinal se faisant par le positionnement de la plaquette 54 par rapport au support 53.  Each plate 54 is supported on a support 53 and its transverse slot 541 allows the adjustment to bring the bezel 2 precisely in the middle of the bowl according to the different dimensions of cuvettes, the longitudinal adjustment being done by the positioning of the wafer 54 by report to support 53.
Selon les figures 4C et 4D, l'invention concerne également une variante de plaquette et de support à savoir, une plaquette 54a constituée par une grille avec des barreaux et cette plaquette 54 est appliquée au dos du support 53 ou est soudée à celui-ci ou est réalisée en même temps que celui-ci.  According to FIGS. 4C and 4D, the invention also relates to a variant of plate and support, namely a plate 54a constituted by a grid with bars and this plate 54 is applied to the back of the support 53 or is welded thereto or is performed at the same time as this one.
De part et d'autre du canal d'aspiration 15, les deux fenêtres 52 servant à la fixation réglable de la platine 5 à la cuvette, sont réalisées dans des positions symétriques X-X par rapport à l'axe de symétrie de l'équipement, de façon à permettre la fixation réglable de l'équipement sur une cuvette de WC pour s'adapter à l'entr'axe des trous de fixation et à leur position par rapport à l'ouverture de la cuvette.  On both sides of the suction channel 15, the two windows 52 used for the adjustable fixing of the plate 5 to the bowl, are made in symmetrical positions XX with respect to the axis of symmetry of the equipment, in order to allow the adjustable attachment of the equipment on a toilet bowl to adapt to the center distance of the fixing holes and their position relative to the opening of the bowl.
Il est ainsi possible d'adapter la position de la vis 55 suivant les deux axes perpendiculaires s'adaptant ainsi à toutes les configurations envisageables de positions de trous de fixation dans la cuvette.  It is thus possible to adapt the position of the screw 55 along the two perpendicular axes, thus adapting to all the possible configurations of positions of fixing holes in the bowl.
Les supports 53 de part et d'autre de l'axe de symétrie X-X sont dans des positions retournées ou symétriques de façon à venir parallèlement au contour en forme de V des deux appuis 51 en forme de lo- sanges constituant les surfaces d'appui de la platine sur le dessus de l'arrière de la cuvette. The supports 53 on either side of the axis of symmetry XX are in reversed or symmetrical positions so as to come parallel to the V-shaped contour of the two lug-shaped supports 51. blood forming the bearing surfaces of the plate on the top of the back of the bowl.
La platine 5 comporte également des cheminées 56 pour la fixation du boîtier 1 1.  The plate 5 also includes chimneys 56 for fixing the housing 1 1.
Au niveau de la platine 5, le canal d'aspiration 15 est muni d'ailettes de guidage 151 définissant des chemins de guidage du flux d'air en direction de l'orifice d'aspiration 12.  At the plate 5, the suction channel 15 is provided with guide vanes 151 defining guide paths of the air flow towards the suction port 12.
La figure 5 montre le positionnement de l'équipement sur le dessus de la cuvette 7 en utilisant les deux moyens de fixation constitués par les deux vis 57 logées dans les plaquettes de réglage 54 appuyées sur les supports 53 bordant les fenêtres 52 sur le dessus de la platine 5, les vis 57 passent dans les trous 1 de la cuvette.  FIG. 5 shows the positioning of the equipment on the top of the bowl 7 by using the two fastening means constituted by the two screws 57 housed in the adjustment plates 54 supported on the supports 53 bordering the windows 52 on the top of the plate 5, the screws 57 pass through the holes 1 of the bowl.
Les figures 1, 6 à 10 montrent plus particulièrement la structure du socle 1 et du boîtier 1 1 de l'équipement.  Figures 1, 6 to 10 show more particularly the structure of the base 1 and the housing 1 1 of the equipment.
Selon les figures 1 et 6A~D, 7, le socle 1 porte le boîtier 1 1 logeant les composants mécanique et électrique/ électronique de l'équipement. Le boîtier 1 1 est couvert par un couvercle 17 avec la sortie d'air filtré, formée par une première zone ajourée 171 au-dessus du compartiment 1 1 1 pour la sortie d'air filtré et une deuxième zone ajourée 174 au-dessus du compartiment 1 13 du diffuseur pour la sortie d'air parfumé. Ces deux zones 171 , 174 sont surmontées d'un chapeau 172 débordant de ces zibes ajourées et laissant par rapport à celles-ci un intervalle périphérique dont la fixation est protégée par un cache 173. La partie centrale du socle 1 , munie de la fenêtre 14 du capteur de présence et des éléments d'affichage, apparaît dans la découpe 21 1 de l'arrière de l'abattant 2 1 .  According to FIGS. 1 and 6A ~ D, 7, the base 1 carries the housing 1 1 housing the mechanical and electrical / electronic components of the equipment. The housing 1 1 is covered by a cover 17 with the filtered air outlet, formed by a first perforated zone 171 above the compartment 1 1 1 for the filtered air outlet and a second perforated zone 174 above the compartment 1 13 of the diffuser for the perfumed air outlet. These two zones 171, 174 are surmounted by a cap 172 overflowing with these openwork zibes and leaving with respect thereto a peripheral gap whose attachment is protected by a cover 173. The central part of the base 1, provided with the window 14 of the presence sensor and the display elements, appears in the cutout 21 1 of the back of the flap 2 1.
Selon la figure 6A la partie centrale du couvercle 1.7 au-dessus du passage d'air du socle 1 constitue une partie bombée et l'ensemble du couvercle a lui-même une forme bombée descendant vers les côtés. Le dessus du couvercle 17 rejoint sa paroi latérale par un arrondi à très forte courbure, beaucoup plus accentué qu'un congé. La jonction entre les différentes parties du socle 1, son avancée 13 et le boîtier 11 , se font suivant des formes de transition à très forte courbure, de façon à favoriser l'écoulement de l'eau lors du nettoyage et évitant que ne se forment des recoins difficiles d'accès pour le nettoyage.  According to Figure 6A the central portion of the cover 1.7 above the air passage of the base 1 is a curved portion and the entire lid itself has a convex shape down to the sides. The top of the cover 17 joins its side wall by a rounded very strong curvature, much more accentuated that a holiday. The junction between the various parts of the base 1, its advance 13 and the housing 11, are in transition shapes with very strong curvature, so as to promote the flow of water during cleaning and avoiding that are formed nooks hard to access for cleaning.
La partie ajourée 171 au-dessus du filtre 6 est formée de fentes radiales lenticulaires et le centre 175 est muni d'un filetage pour recevoir la vis de fixation du chapeau 172. De part et d'autre de la sortie d'air filtré 171 occupant globalement une surface circulaire, il y a deux logements 176 formant des cheminées et recevant deux vis logées dans des cheminées correspondantes du boîtier pour fixer le couvercle 17 au boîtier 1 1. Ces deux logements permettent également de recevoir des ergots en saillie de la face inférieure du chapeau 172 et servant à bloquer celui-ci en rotation. The perforated portion 171 above the filter 6 is formed of lenticular radial slots and the center 175 is provided with a thread for receiving the fastening screw of the cap 172. On either side of the filtered air outlet 171 occupying globally a circular surface, there are two housings 176 forming chimneys and receiving two screws housed in corresponding chimneys of the housing for fixing the cover 17 to the housing 1 1. These two housings also allow to receive pins protruding from the underside of the cap 172 and serving to block the- in rotation.
Selon la figure 6C montrant le boîtier 1 1 ouvert sans le couvercle ; le boîtier 1 1 est compartimenté à trois logements 1 1 1 , 1 12, 1 13.  According to Figure 6C showing the housing 1 1 open without the cover; the housing 1 1 is compartmentalized with three housings 1 1 1, 1 12, 1 13.
Le logement central 1 1 1 forme le passage d'air, de bas en haut au-dessus de l'ouverture 12 à l'extrémité du canal d'aspiration 15 et recevant le dispositif d'aspiration 3. Ce passage d'air est occupé en partie basse par le rotor et son moteur. Au-dessus de celui-ci, le passage est occupé par un filtre à air 6, amovible, formé d'une enveloppe rigide de section horizontale rectangulaire, à fond plat et à dessus bombé.  The central housing 1 1 1 forms the air passage, from bottom to top above the opening 12 at the end of the suction channel 15 and receiving the suction device 3. This air passage is occupied at the bottom by the rotor and its motor. Above this, the passage is occupied by an air filter 6, removable, formed of a rigid envelope of rectangular horizontal section, flat bottom and domed top.
Les deux logements 1 12, 1 13 de part et d'autre du logement 1 1 1 recevant le filtre 6 sont occupés, l'un par le boîtier d'une batterie 81 . L'autre logement 1 13 reçoit le diffuseur 4 formé d'un boîtier amovible 41 équipé d'une soufflante 42 et d'une charge 45 de matière diffusante et parfumante de façon à parfumer l'air puisé.  The two housings 1 12, 1 13 on either side of the housing 1 1 1 receiving the filter 6 are occupied, one by the housing of a battery 81. The other housing 1 13 receives the diffuser 4 formed of a removable housing 41 equipped with a blower 42 and a load 45 of diffusing and perfuming material so as to perfume the pulsed air.
La figure 6D montre la structure de la face inférieure du couvercle 17 et notamment deux nervures 177 qui barrent le dessous pour coopérer avec des cloisons du boîtier 1 1 et séparer les compartiments 1 1 1 , 1 13. Ces nervures 177 sont bordées du côté de la zone de sortie d'air 171 des deux cheminées ou logements 178 pour les vis de fixation du couvercle 17 au boîtier 1 1.  FIG. 6D shows the structure of the underside of the cover 17 and in particular two ribs 177 which bar the underside to cooperate with partitions of the housing 1 1 and separate the compartments 1 1 1, 1 13. These ribs 177 are lined on the side of the air outlet zone 171 of the two chimneys or housings 178 for the fixing screws of the cover 17 to the housing 1 1.
D'un côté, au-delà de la cloison 177, apparaît la zone ajourée 179 d'une sortie d'air du compartiment 1 13 recevant le diffuseur 4.  On one side, beyond the partition 177, appears the open area 179 of an air outlet of the compartment 1 13 receiving the diffuser 4.
De façon plus détaillée, et comme le montre la figure 7, le boîtier 1 1 délimite les trois compartiments 1 1 1 , 1 12, 1 13 par sa paroi périphérique 1 14 et deux cloisons 1 15 bordant le compartiment central 1 1 1. Le dessus de la paroi périphérique 1 14 est en forme de feuillure 1 141.  In more detail, and as shown in Figure 7, the housing 1 1 defines the three compartments 1 1 1, 1 12, 1 13 by its peripheral wall 1 14 and two partitions 1 15 bordering the central compartment 1 1 1. The above the peripheral wall 1 14 is in the form of rebate 1 141.
Le couvercle 17 dont le bord à feuillure, a une forme complémentaire à la forme de la feuillure 1 141 du boîtier coiffe celui-ci hermétiquement.  The cover 17, the rebate edge, has a shape complementary to the shape of the rabbet 1 141 of the housing cap it hermetically.
Les cloisons 1 15 séparant les compartiments 1 12, 1 13 et le compartiment 1 1 1 du passage d'air sont munies de plusieurs cheminées 1 15 1 cylindriques, verticales destinées à recevoir les vis de fixation du couvercle 17 traversant des passages de vis 178 dans des positions homologues. Ces cheminées servent également à la tenue et au centrage du filtre à air 6 amovible qui présente des gorges 61 de forme complémentaire recevant les cheminées 1 151. The partitions 1 15 separating the compartments 1 12, 1 13 and the compartment 1 1 1 of the air passage are provided with several cylindrical chimneys 1 15 1, vertical for receiving the fixing screws of the cover 17 through the screw passages 178 in homologous positions. These chimneys are also used for the holding and centering of the removable air filter 6 which has grooves 61 of complementary shape receiving the chimneys 1 151.
La figure 8 montre schématiquement une vue de côté d'un diffuseur 4 servant à parfumer l'air. Le diffuseur 4 comporte un boîtier 41 ayant une forme analogue à celle du boîtier de la batterie 31 , au moins pour sa section puisque les deux compartiments 1 12, 1 13 sont avantageusement pratiquement symétriques par rapport au plan de symétrie de l'équipement. Cela simplifie la réalisation des moules et ainsi la fabrication.  Figure 8 schematically shows a side view of a diffuser 4 for perfuming the air. The diffuser 4 comprises a housing 41 having a shape similar to that of the housing of the battery 31, at least for its section since the two compartments 1 12, 1 13 are advantageously substantially symmetrical with respect to the plane of symmetry of the equipment. This simplifies the making of the molds and thus the manufacture.
Le diffuseur 4 comporte une soufflante 42 pour aspirer l'air à travers le fond 43 du boîtier 41 , l'air arrivant par l'ouverture d'aspiration 12. La soufflante 42 débouche dans un chemin de circulation d'air schématisé par la flèche 44.  The diffuser 4 comprises a fan 42 for sucking air through the bottom 43 of the housing 41, the air arriving through the suction opening 12. The fan 42 opens into an air flow path schematized by the arrow 44.
Le chemin de circulation d'air est réalisé dans le boîtier 41 pour faire passer l'air puisé et lécher la charge de matières odoriférantes 45 avant de sortir par les ouvertures 44 1 du couvercle 46 ; celui-ci ferme le dessus du boîtier 41 de façon amovible pour permettre d'accéder à la cavité 45 recevant les huiles essentielles ou autres matières diffusantes et odoriférantes pour faire la recharge.  The air flow path is made in the housing 41 to pass the pulsed air and lick the load of odoriferous material 45 before exiting through the openings 44 1 of the lid 46; it closes the top of the housing 41 removably to allow access to the cavity 45 receiving the essential oils or other diffusing and odoriferous materials for recharging.
Le boîtier 41 est bloqué dans son compartiment 1 13 par une liaison par la forme et le branchement de la soufflante 42 se fait par des contacts 48 portés par le boîtier 41 et touchant des contacts complémentaires du compartiment 1 13. L'alimentation du pulseur 42 est commandée par le circuit de commande 8 gérant le fonctionnement de l'équipement.  The housing 41 is blocked in its compartment 1 13 by a connection by the shape and the connection of the blower 42 is by contacts 48 carried by the housing 41 and touching complementary contacts of the compartment 1 13. The power of the blower 42 is controlled by the control circuit 8 managing the operation of the equipment.
Le circuit de commande 8 (figure 9) est installé de façon protégée, comme décrit, dans l'avancée 13 du socle 1 , de sorte qu'il est à proximité immédiate à la fois du capteur de présence derrière la fenêtre 14, de l'alimentation électrique ou batterie 81 du moteur du dispositif d'aspiration 3 et de celui du diffuseur 4. Ainsi, tous les éléments sont protégés contre l'humidité ou les projections d'eau et ne sont soumis à aucune usure générée par un mouvement puisque les liaisons entre le circuit de commande 8, le détecteur et les éléments d'affichage derrière la fenêtre 14 ainsi que les moteurs sont des liaisons statiques intégrées au socle 1 et au boîtier 1 1.  The control circuit 8 (FIG. 9) is protectedly installed, as described, in the advance 13 of the base 1, so that it is in the immediate vicinity of both the presence sensor behind the window 14, the electrical supply or battery 81 of the motor of the suction device 3 and that of the diffuser 4. Thus, all the elements are protected against moisture or splashing water and are not subjected to any wear generated by movement since the connections between the control circuit 8, the detector and the display elements behind the window 14 as well as the motors are static links integrated into the base 1 and to the housing 1 1.
Le circuit de commande 8 détecte une présence sur la lunette 2 ou près de celle-ci pour déclencher le dispositif d'aspiration 3, le cas échéant avec une temporisation. Le circuit 8 limite la durée de fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration à une durée fixe ou réglable et en fin d'utilisation du WC, le circuit 8 commande éventuellement le fonctionnement ou la poursuite du fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration 3 pen- dant une durée limitée ΔΤ1. The control circuit 8 detects a presence on the bezel 2 or near it to trigger the suction device 3, the if necessary with a delay. The circuit 8 limits the operating time of the suction device to a fixed or adjustable duration and at the end of the use of the WC, the circuit 8 optionally controls the operation or the continued operation of the suction device 3 during a limited time ΔΤ1.
Le fonctionnement du diffuseur 4 pour parfumer l'air est commandé selon l'activation du dispositif d'aspiration 3, pour fonctionner par exemple seulement après l'arrêt du dispositif d'aspiration 3 de façon que celui-ci évacue d'abord les odeurs en les filtrant dans le filtre 6, par exemple sur du charbon actif, puis une fois la période de filtrage (Tl , T2) terminée et le dispositif d'aspiration 3 arrêté, le diffuseur 4 est commandé également de façon temporisée, pour dégager un certain volume d'air parfumé.  The operation of the diffuser 4 for perfuming the air is controlled according to the activation of the suction device 3, to function for example only after stopping the suction device 3 so that it first evacuates the odors by filtering them in the filter 6, for example on activated charcoal, then once the filtering period (T1, T2) has ended and the suction device 3 stopped, the diffuser 4 is also controlled in a delayed manner, to release a certain volume of perfumed air.
Le circuit de commande 8 représenté schématiquement à la figure 9, est relié à la batterie 81 ou à une alimentation 82 branchée sur le secteur. Les deux solutions peuvent être envisagées. Le circuit de commande 8 est également relié au détecteur de présence 83 pour commander la séquence de fonctionnement.  The control circuit 8 shown schematically in Figure 9, is connected to the battery 81 or a power supply 82 connected to the mains. Both solutions can be considered. The control circuit 8 is also connected to the presence detector 83 to control the sequence of operation.
Il reçoit des instructions de réglage de un ou deux organes de réglage 84, 85 permettant de régler la temporisation du dispositif d'aspiration 3 et un réglage de la temporisation du diffuseur 4 parfumant l'air, la sortie, le circuit de commande 8 étant reliée au moteur du dispositif d'aspiration 3 et au moteur du diffuseur 4. Il comporte également un voyant 86 pour signaler le niveau de charge de la batterie 81 et un voyant 87 pour signaler l'épuisement de la charge de matières odoriférantes.  It receives adjustment instructions from one or two adjustment members 84, 85 making it possible to adjust the timing of the suction device 3 and an adjustment of the delay of the diffuser 4 perfuming the air, the output, the control circuit 8 being connected to the engine of the suction device 3 and the motor of the diffuser 4. It also comprises an indicator 86 to indicate the charge level of the battery 81 and a light 87 to signal the exhaustion of the charge of odoriferous materials.
Un cycle de fonctionnement de l'équipement est représenté à titre d'exemple dans le diagramme de la figure 10. L'axe horizontal représente l'axe du temps et l'axe vertical, le fonctionnement de l'équipement.  A cycle of operation of the equipment is shown by way of example in the diagram of Figure 10. The horizontal axis represents the time axis and the vertical axis, the operation of the equipment.
La présence d'un occupant est détectée à partir de l'instant tl jusqu'à l'instant t2.  The presence of an occupant is detected from time t1 until time t2.
La détection de la présente à l'instant tl se traduit par le déclenchement du fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration 3 à l'instant Tl . (courbe C l). Le dispositif d'aspiration 3 fonctionne jusqu'à l'instant T2. La temporisation ΔΤ1 correspond au temps pendant lequel le dispositif d'aspiration 3 continue de fonctionner après l'instant T2. La temporisation ΔΤ1 est réglable en fonction de paramètres définis par la pratique de l'utilisation de l'équipement. Cette temporisation peut être plus ou moins longue selon les nécessités pour filtrer l'air dans le volume du WC, l'éventuelle circulation d'air forcé, son aspiration, etc.. The detection of the present at time tl results in the triggering of the operation of the suction device 3 at time T1. (curve C l). The suction device 3 operates until time T2. Delay ΔΤ1 corresponds to the time during which the suction device 3 continues to operate after the instant T2. The time delay ΔΤ1 is adjustable according to parameters defined by the practice of the use of the equipment. This time delay can be more or less long according to the needs to filter the air in the volume of the WC, the possible forced air circulation, its aspiration, etc.
Le déclenchement du diffuseur 4 pour parfumer l'air se fait à l'instant Tl l et se termine à l'instant T12. La durée de fonctionnement correspond à la temporisation Δ 1 1. (Courbe C2).  The triggering of the diffuser 4 to perfume the air is at time T1 and ends at time T12. The operating time corresponds to the time delay Δ 1 1 (curve C2).
Selon le schéma, le diffuseur commence à fonctionner à l'instant Tl l qui précède juste la fin du fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration 3 à l'instant T2 ou correspondant à cet instant T2..  According to the diagram, the diffuser starts to operate at the instant Tl 1 just before the end of the operation of the suction device 3 at time T2 or corresponding to this time T2.
Mais la disposition peut également être modifiée de façon que l'instant Tl l soit postérieur à l'instant T2. En général, il est préférable de commencer le fonctionnement du diffuseur 4 après l'arrêt du dispositif d'aspiration 3 pour ne pas filtrer l'air parfumé ce qui n'est pas le but recherché et de plus épuiserait inutilement la charge de charbon actif du filtre 6.  But the arrangement can also be modified so that the instant T1 is later than the instant T2. In general, it is preferable to start the operation of the diffuser 4 after stopping the suction device 3 so as not to filter the perfumed air which is not the desired goal and more would unnecessarily deplete the charge of activated carbon of the filter 6.
Les différents réglages sont des paramètres, de préférence, se définissent en pratique en particulier en fonction de la géométrie des lieux.  The different settings are parameters, preferably, are defined in practice especially according to the geometry of places.
Dans tous les cas et quel que soit le mode d'utilisation de l'équipement, le fonctionnement du dispositif d'aspiration 3 et du diffu- seur 4 est protégé et limité à une durée maximale, fixée, pour ne pas épuiser l'alimentation 81 , 82.  In any case and whatever the mode of use of the equipment, the operation of the suction device 3 and the diffuser 4 is protected and limited to a maximum duration, fixed, so as not to exhaust the power supply. 81, 82.
Le niveau de la batterie 81 est de préférence affiché par le voyant 86 derrière la fenêtre 14. Un voyant peut signaler la nécessité de recharger les batteries ou indiquer la nécessité de remplacer le filtre. Le filtre se contrôle de préférence par le cumul de sa durée d'utilisation ; une durée limite, connue, du filtre affiche alors la nécessité de son remplacement par un voyant derrière la fenêtre 14.  The level of the battery 81 is preferably displayed by the light 86 behind the window 14. A light may indicate the need to recharge the batteries or indicate the need to replace the filter. The filter is preferably controlled by accumulating its duration of use; a known time limit of the filter then displays the need for its replacement by a light behind the window 14.
La charge de la batterie ou son remplacement se font très simplement en accédant au logement 1 12 de la batterie 81 après enlève- ment du couvercle 17.  The charging of the battery or its replacement is done very simply by accessing the housing 1 12 of the battery 81 after removal of the cover 17.
Le remplacement de la charge odoriférante du diffuseur 4 se fait dans les mêmes conditions.  The replacement of the odoriferous charge of the diffuser 4 is done under the same conditions.
Suivant une variante, l'alimentation électrique 82 se fait directement à partir du réseau et en respectant la réglementation relative aux installations électriques dans des volumes de salle de bain ou autres.  Alternatively, the power supply 82 is directly from the network and respecting the regulations for electrical installations in bathroom or other volumes.
Enfin, la mise en place de l'équipement selon l'invention se fait très simplement sur des cuvettes existantes en remplacement d'une lunette. La place occupée par le boîtier 1 1 est très limitée, aussi ce boîtier, qui correspond pratiquement à la plaque ou platine de fixation d'une lunette habituelle, peut parfaitement s'installer sans difficultés devant le réservoir dans le cas d'une cuvette surmontée à l'arrière d'un réservoir. Finally, the installation of the equipment according to the invention is very simply on existing bowls replacing a telescope. The place occupied by the housing 1 1 is very limited, also this housing, which corresponds practically to the plate or mounting plate of a usual telescope, can perfectly be installed without difficulty in front of the tank in the case of a bowl surmounted at the rear of a tank.
