Die Betätigungstaste 3 ist bezüglich des Einbaurahmens 2 bei der Spülauslösung von einer Ausgangsstellung in eine Endstellung bewegbar, insbesondere verschwenkbar, ausgebildet. Folglich kann also die Betätigungstaste 3 von der Ausgangsstellung bei der Betätigung zum Einbaurahmen 2 hin in die Endstellung bewegt werden. Nach erfolgter Spülung wird dann die Betätigungstaste 3 vom Einbaurahmen 2 weg, also von der Endstellung in die Ausgangsstellung bewegt.The
Der Einbaurahmen 2 wird typischerweise in eine Öffnung in einem Mauerwerk eingelassen und steht mit Elementen des Spülkastens in Verbindung. Die Maueröffnung 8 ist in der

Der Einbaurahmen 2 bzw. die Wand 9 definieren eine Ebene 10. Die Ebene 10 verläuft dabei im Wesentlichen parallel zur Wand 9 und kann durch entsprechende Elemente des Einbaurahmens 2 definiert werden. Beispielsweise stellt ein umlaufender Flansch 26 des Einbaurahmens, wie dieser in den
Der Einbaurahmen 2 umfasst gemäss der
Die Betätigungstaste 3 ist bevorzugt um mindestens eine Achse A1, A2, A3 verschwenkbar. Es sind dabei im Wesentlichen zwei verschiedene Ausführungsformen denkbar. In einer ersten Ausführungsform wird die Betätigungstaste 3 um genau eine Achse A1 verschwenkt. Die Achse A1 verläuft dabei bevorzugt mittig durch die Betätigungstaste 3. In einer zweiten Ausführungsform wird die Betätigungstaste 3 um zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordnete Achsen A2, A3 verschwenkt.The
In der
Bei einer Betätigung kommt die Betätigungstaste 3 mit der Oberfläche 11 winklig zur Ebene 10 zu liegen. Mit Blick auf
Die Achsen A1, A2, A3 können dabei sowohl in der Horizontalen oder in der Vertikalen verlaufen. Auch ist es denkbar, dass die Achsen A1, A2, A3 winklig bzw. geneigt zur Horizontalen bzw. zur Vertikalen verlaufen. Der Trennstrich 7 wird dann entsprechend in einer anderen Lage aufgedruckt, um dem Benutzer die Richtung der Betätigung zu signalisieren. Der Trennstrich 7 verläuft dabei vorzugsweise parallel zu den Achsen A1, A2, A3.The axes A1, A2, A3 can run both in the horizontal or in the vertical. It is also conceivable that the axes A1, A2, A3 extend at an angle or inclined to the horizontal or to the vertical. The

Die Lagerstelle 12 umfasst bevorzugt ein Lagerelement 14, 31 und ein Aufnahmeelement 13. Das Lagerelement 14, 31 ist dabei in das Aufnahmeelement 13 einhängbar ausgebildet. Im eingehängten Zustand greift oder ragt das Lagerelement 14, 31 in das Aufnahmeelement 13 ein, wodurch die Verbindung zwischen Lagerelement 14, 31 und Aufnahmeelement 13 bereitgestellt wird. Für diesen Eingriff sind Lagerelement 14, 31 und Aufnahmeelement 13 mindestens teilweise passend oder komplementär zueinander ausgebildet.The bearing 12 preferably comprises a bearing
Das Lagerelement 14 kann dabei mit einer Feder 17 gefedert ausgebildet sein, wie hier das obere Lagerelement 14 in der
Das Lagerelement 14, 31 ist bevorzugterweise ein Zapfen 14, 31, wobei von einem gefederten Lagerzapfen 14 im Falle des Vorhandenseins der Feder 17 und von einem starren Lagerzapfen 31 gesprochen werden kann. Durch die Feder kann die Betätigungstaste 3 einfach in die Aufnahmen 13 eingehängt werden.The bearing
Unter Bezugnahme auf die
In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform weist die Lagerstelle 12 am Einbaurahmen 2 die Gestalt von Aufnahmen 13 auf und die Lagerstelle 12 an der Betätigungstaste 3 weisen die Gestalt von Lagerzapfen 14, 31 auf. Die Lagerzapfen 14 ragen dabei in die Aufnahmen 13 ein und werden dort durch die Aufnahmen 13 entsprechend gelagert. In alternativen Ausführungsformen kann die Lagerstelle 12 an der Betätigungstaste 3 aber auch die Gestalt von Aufnahmen 13 aufweisen und dann ist die Lagerstelle 12 am Einbaurahmen 2 als Lagerzapfen 14, 31 ausgebildet.In the present embodiment, the bearing 12 on the mounting
Der Lagerzapfen 14 erstreckt sich entlang einer Achse M. Ebenfalls erstrecken sich auch Abschnitte der Aufnahmen 13 entlang einer entsprechenden Achse M. Die Achsen M verlaufen dabei parallel zu besagter Ebene 10. Die Betätigungstaste 3 ist dabei um diese Achse M verschwenkbar. Die Achse M wird dabei im Wesentlichen zur Achse A1 bzw. A2, so wie die oben bereits erläutert wurde.The bearing
Je nach Material sind die Lagerzapfen 14 direkt an der Betätigungstaste 3 angeformt. Die Betätigungstaste 3 kann beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoff gespritzt werden. Alternativ, beispielsweise wenn die Betätigungstaste 3 aus Glas oder einem anderen Material als Kunststoff gefertigt ist, können die Lagerzapfen 14 Teile eines Rahmens 23 sein. Der Rahmen 23 steht über die hintere Oberfläche 22 der Betätigungstaste 3 mit der Betätigungstaste 3 in Verbindung. Die Betätigungstaste 3 umfasst in einer solchen Ausführungsform im Wesentlichen zwei Teile, nämlich die Betätigungstaste 3 selbst und den mit der Betätigungstaste 3 stoffschlüssig in Verbindung stehende Rahmen 23. Der Rahmen 23 wird vorzugsweise auf die hintere Oberfläche 22 aufgeklebt, wodurch eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Rahmen 23 und Betätigungstaste 3 bereitstellbar ist. Obwohl hier die Betätigungstaste 3 über dem Rahmen 23 mit dem Einbaurahmen 2 in Verbindung steht, kann gleichwohl gesagt werden, dass die Betätigungstaste 3 direkt mit dem Einbaurahmen 2 in Verbindung steht, weil über die besagte stoffschlüssige Verbindung Betätigungstaste 3 und Rahmen 23 als einstückig anzusehen sind.Depending on the material, the bearing pins 14 are formed directly on the
Eine Lagerstelle 12 besteht vorzugsweise aus einer Paarung umfassend einen Lagerzapfen 14, 31 und Aufnahme 13. Die Paarungen sind dabei beanstandet zueinander angeordnet. Jeweils zwei Paarungen sind auf einer gemeinsamen Mittelachse M angeordnet, wobei die beiden Lagerzapfen 14 und die beiden Aufnahmen 13 kollinear verlaufen.A bearing 12 preferably consists of a pair comprising a

Der Kanal 15 ist dabei zur Betätigungstaste 3 hin geschlossen ausgebildet, wobei hierfür der Kanal 15 eine Wandung 16 aufweist. Die Wandung 16 stellt für den Lagerzapfen 14 einen Anschlag bereit. Der Anschlag sorgt somit dafür, dass die Betätigungstaste 3 nicht von der Ausgangsstellung entgegen der üblichen Bewegung in die Spülstellung bewegt werden kann. Die Wandung 16 weist im Wesentlichen einen Anschlagsabschnitt 24 auf, von welchem sich zwei Wandabschnitte 25 erstrecken. Die beiden Wandabschnitte 25 verlaufen dann vorzugsweise parallel oder winklig bzw. geneigt zueinander. Im letzteren Fall nimmt der Querschnitt des offenen Kanals 15 in der Richtung von Ausgangsstellung in Spülstellung zu.The
Die winklige Ausbildung hat dabei den Vorteil, dass hierdurch die Verschwenkbarkeit der Betätigungstaste 3 ermöglicht wird.The angled design has the advantage that in this way the pivoting of the

Bei dieser Betätigung verbleiben die Lagerelemente 14, 31 vorzugsweise in der entsprechenden Aufnahme 13. Unter grossem Kraftaufwand kann es aber dennoch zu einer Bewegung in Richtung des Kanals 15 der Aufnahme 13 kommen, was den Vorteil hat, dass so unerwünschte Kräfte kompensierbar sind.In this operation, the bearing
Die Bewegung kann über Führungselemente 33 die in Führungsöffnungen 34 einragen, unterstützend geführt werden. Bei dem Führungselemente 33 handelt es sich um von der Betätigungstaste 3 abstehende Dorne 33, welche in die Führungsöffnungen 34 im Einbaurahmen 2 hineinragen. Führungselemente 33 und Führungsöffnungen 34 sind auch in den

Weiter stellt das Anschlagselement 32 zugleich die Verschwenkachse A2 bereit, um welche sich die Betätigungstaste 3 zum Einbaurahmen 2 verschwenkt. Bei der Verschwenkung in dieser Ausführungsform wird das Lagerelement 14 aus der Ausnehmung 13 hinaus in Richtung des Kanals 15 bewegt. Bei einem Druck auf den linken Bereich 5 oder den rechten Bereich 6 wird also das Lagerelement 14 aus der Ausnehmung bewegt. Bei einem Druck auf den rechten Bereich 6 stehen dabei die links angeordneten Anschlagselemente 32 mit der Rückseite 35 des Einbaurahmenes 2 in Kontakt und bei einem Druck auf den linken Bereich 5 stehen dabei die rechts angeordneten Anschlagselemente 32 mit mit der Rückseite 35 des Einbaurahmenes 2 in Kontakt.Next, the
Folglich dienen die Anschlagselement 32 und die Rückseite 35 dabei als Schwenklager bzw. Drehpunkt, um welchen die Betätigungstaste verschwenkt wird.Consequently, the
Bei beiden Ausführungsformen kann die Betätigungstaste 3 soweit verschwenkt werden, bis die Betätigungstaste 3 mit der Oberfläche 11 an der Wand 9 oder am Einbaurahmen 2 ansteht. Mit der Betätigungstaste 3 wird dann das Aktuatorelement 4 betätigt und die Spülung wird ausgelöst.In both embodiments, the

Die Rückstellung der Betätigungstaste 3 von der Spülstellung in die Ausgangsstellung erfolgt dann über die Rückstellelemente 18. Von der
Das Rückstellelement 18 stellt dabei eine Rückstellkraft auf die Betätigungstaste 3 bereit. Somit wird die Betätigungstaste 3 aus der Spülposition hinaus in die Ausgangsstellung bewegt. In der Ausgangsstellung ruht die Betätigungstaste 3 dann entsprechend in der Lagerstelle 12.The
Das Aktuatorelement 4 weist in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform vorzugweise die Gestalt eines pneumatischen Druckgebers auf. Dabei wird vom pneumatischen Druckgeber ein Druckpuls generiert, welcher auf eine Spülventilanordnung wirkt. Ein Druckschlauch kann dann über die Öffnungen 30 in den Spülkasten geführt werden. Bezüglich des Aktuatorelementes 4 sei weiter angemerkt, dass das Aktuatorelement 4 zwischen der Betätigungstaste 3 und dem Einbaurahmen 2 angeordnet ist. Besonders bevorzugt steht das Aktuatorelement 4 mit dem Einbaurahmen 2 in Verbindung bzw. wird im Einbaurahmen 2 gelagert.The
Zusammenfassend weist die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 den Vorteil auf, dass eine äusserst einfache Herstellung und Montage der Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 erlaubt wird. Zudem können ästhetischen Anforderungen ebenfalls Rechnung getragen werden. Weiter ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 sicherer im Gebrauch, weil es nicht zu einem verhaken zwischen den Betätigungstasten und einem Rahmen kommen kann.
