Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Toilettendeckelgarnitur und ihre Verbindung mit der Toilettenschüssel nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1, fortan kürzer: Toilettengarnitur genannt. Solche Toilettendeckel und -garnituren sind viele bekannt. Allen diesbezüglichen Erfindungen ist gemeinsam, dass in den zwei Löchern oder Öffnungen, welche zumindest die in Europa und den USA verwendeten Toilettenschüsseln am hinteren Rand aufweisen, zumeist mit durchgehenden Schrauben ein Grundelement befestigt ist, an welchem dann ein Scharniergelenk oder, allgemein, ein Schwenkelement befestigt ist, welches dann mittelbar oder unmittelbar die sogenannte Klo-Brille und/oder einen oder zwei Toilettendeckel, also eine Toilettengarnitur trägt. Das hierbei entstehende Problem liegt nicht in den mechanisch-konstruktiven Anforderungen, welche zu lösen sind, sondern vielmehr in der Reinigung vor allem jener Zone, wo die Toilettenschüssel und die Toilettengarnitur in der Scharnier-Region aufeinander stossen. Diese Problematik tritt akzentuiert auf, wo eine unbestimmte Öffentlichkeit die Toilette benützt, wie in Restaurants, Spitälern und natürlich besonders in öffentlichen Toilettenanlangen. Daher sind Toilettenanlagen veröffentlicht worden, die sich besonders dieses Hygieneproblems annehmen.The present invention relates to a toilet lid set and its connection to the toilet bowl according to the preamble of claim 1, henceforth shorter: called toilet set. Such toilet lids and fittings are well known. All related inventions have in common that in the two holes or openings, which have at least the toilet bowls used in Europe and the US at the rear edge, usually with through bolts, a base member is attached to which then a hinge joint or, more generally, attached a pivot member is, which then indirectly or directly wearing the so-called toilet seat and / or one or two toilet lid, so a toilet set. The problem arising here is not in the mechanical-design requirements, which are to be solved, but rather in the cleaning especially of that zone where the toilet bowl and the toilet set in the hinge region abut each other. This problem occurs accentuated where an indefinite public use the toilet, as in restaurants, hospitals and of course especially in public Toilettenanlangen. Therefore, toilets have been published, which take care of this particular hygiene problem.

Solche Vorrichtungen sind bekannt aus DE 10 2009 043 851 (D1), DE 10 2008 058 580 (D2), US 2008/0271230 (D3), EP 1800 585 (D4), DE 20 2008 007 658 (D5). Das Dokument DE 44 19 469 A1 offenbart eine Toilettendeckelgarnitur nach Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.Such devices are known from DE 10 2009 043 851 (D1), DE 10 2008 058 580 (D2), US 2008/0271230 (D3), EP 1800 585 (D4), DE 20 2008 007 658 (D5). The document DE 44 19 469 A1 discloses a toilet lid set according to the preamble of claim 1.

Allen diesen in den genannten Druckschriften offenbarten Vorrichtungen ist gemeinsam, dass der oder die Toilettendeckel mit wenigen Handgriffen zur Reinigung der Schüssel oder/und des Deckels entfernt werden können. Im Falle von D1 ist eine gesonderte Reinigungsanlage vorgesehen, was eine solche Anlage für Spitäler oder Publikums-Toiletten attraktiv machen kann, aber wegen der Grösse der Anlage und vermutlich deren Preis für einen Privathaushalt eher nicht in Frage kommen dürfte. Bei den Vorrichtungen nach D2 - D5 bleibt noch der Nachteil, dass nach Entfernen der Deckel-Garnitur ein oder zwei Elemente mit der Schüssel verbunden bleiben, die an ihr festgeschraubt sind, so dass schlecht oder schwer zu reinigende Ritzen oder Ecken verbleiben, welche vom hygienischen Standpunkt fragwürdig sind.All these devices disclosed in the cited documents have in common that the toilet lid or the toilet with a few simple steps to clean the bowl and / or the lid can be removed. In the case of D1, a separate cleaning system is provided, which may make such a facility attractive for hospitals or public toilets, but is unlikely to be suitable because of the size of the facility and presumably its price for a private household. In the devices according to D2 - D5 still has the disadvantage that after removing the cover set one or two elements remain connected to the bowl, which are screwed to it, so that bad or difficult to clean scratches or corners remain, which from the hygienic Position are questionable.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche diesen Umstand behebt.The object of the present invention is to provide a device which overcomes this circumstance.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist wiedergegeben im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 hinsichtlich ihrer Grundelemente, in den weiteren Ansprüchen hinsichtlich weiterer vorteilhafter Ausbildungen.The solution of the problem is reflected in the characterizing part of claim 1 with respect to their basic elements in the further claims with respect to further advantageous embodiments.

Die hintere horizontale Befestigungsleiste der Toilettenschüssel trägt zwei Durchgangslöcher zur Aufnahme von Befestigungselementen. Die Durchgangslöcher sind zumeist relativ gross gefertigt, damit Toilettengarnituren von verschiedenen Herstellern mit unterschiedlichen Normen aufgenommen werden können. In diese Durchgangslöcher ist je ein erstes Blockierelement eingesetzt, welche je ein Einsatzelement einer Deckelgarnitur formschlüssig jedoch mit Spiel umfassen. Die Einsatzelemente sind so dimensioniert, dass sie mit Spiel in die Durchgangslöcher passen, und weisen an ihrer oberen Begrenzung einen Randwulst auf, welche als Anschlag beim Einsetzen der Einsatzelemente dient, so dass der Einsetzvorgang deutlich in zwei Phasen unterteilt ist: In eine erste Phase, in der die Einsatzelemente mit aufgesteckten Blockierelementen in die Durchgangslöcher eingeführt werden können bis zum Anschlag der Randwülste auf der Toilettenschüssel, und eine zweite Phase, in welcher Druck ausgeübt werden kann auf den hinteren Rand der Deckelgarnitur, durch welchen Druck ein im wesentlichen kugelförmiges Ende jedes Endes der Einsatzelemente durch die beiden Blockierelemente hindurch gedrückt wird. Die Blockierelemente sind aus einem Elastomer gefertigt, welcher im geeigneten Ausmass kompressibel ist, und tragen dort, wo die Deckelgarnitur aufsitzt, eine Schutzkappe aus Kunststoff oder Metall.The rear horizontal mounting bar of the toilet bowl has two through holes to accommodate fasteners. The through-holes are usually made relatively large, so toilet sets can be taken from different manufacturers with different standards. In each of these through holes, a first blocking element is used, which each include an insert element of a flat fitting form-fitting, however, with game. The insert elements are dimensioned so that they fit with play in the through holes, and have at their upper boundary on a bead, which serves as a stop when inserting the insert elements, so that the insertion process is clearly divided into two phases: In a first phase, in which the insert elements with plugged blocking elements can be inserted into the through holes until the abutment of the edge beads on the toilet bowl, and a second phase in which pressure can be exerted on the rear edge of the flat clothing, by which pressure a substantially spherical end of each end the insert elements is pushed through the two blocking elements. The blocking elements are made of an elastomer, which is compressible to a suitable extent, and wear where the flat set sits, a protective cap made of plastic or metal.

Fig. 1 a zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Toilettengarnitur, und zwar in einer Stellung, in welcher sie in eine Toilettenschüssel 1 zwar eingesetzt, aber noch nicht verriegelt ist. Von der Toilettenschüssel 1 aus Keramik ist nur die hintere horizontale Befestigungsleiste dargestellt. Sie trägt zwei Durchgangslöcher 2 zur Aufnahme von Befestigungselementen, bis anhin meist Schrauben. Die Durchgangslöcher 2 sind zumeist relativ gross gefertigt, damit Toilettengarnituren von verschiedenen Herstellern mit unterschiedlichen Normen aufgenommen werden können. In diese Durchgangslöcher 2 sind je ein erstes Blockierelement 3 eingesetzt, welche je ein Einsatzelement 4 einer Deckelgarnitur 5 formschlüssig umfassen. Die Einsatzelemente 4 sind so dimensioniert, dass sie mit Spiel in die Durchgangslöcher 2 passen und weisen an ihrer oberen Begrenzung einen Randwulst 6 auf, welcher als Anschlag beim Einsetzen der Einsatzelemente 4 dient, so dass der Einsetzvorgang deutlich in zwei Phasen unterteilt ist: In eine erste Phase, in der die Einsatzelemente 4 mit aufgesteckten Blockierelementen 3 in die Durchgangslöcher 2 eingeführt werden können bis zum Anschlag der Randwülste 6 auf der Toilettenschüssel, und eine zweite Phase, in welcher Druck ausgeübt werden kann auf den hinteren Rand der Deckelgarnitur 5, durch welchen Druck ein im wesentlichen kugelförmiges Ende 7 jedes Endes der Einsatzelemente 4 durch die beiden Blockierelemente 3 hindurch gedrückt wird. Die Blockierelemente 3 sind aus einem Elastomer gefertigt, welcher im geeigneten Ausmass kompressibel ist, und tragen dort, wo gemäss Fig. 1b die Deckelgarnitur 5 aufsitzt eine Schutzkappe 6a aus Kunststoff oder Metall. Das Ensemble aus den Elementen 3, 4, 5, 6, 6a, 7 wird dem Benutzer vorzugsweise fertig montiert geliefert. Im anderen Falle hat er die Einsatzelemente 4 umgekehrt durch die Blockierelemente 3 durchzustossen und anschliessend in der Deckelgarnitur 5 festzuschrauben. Fig. 1 A shows a first embodiment of a toilet set, in a position in which it is indeed used in a toilet bowl 1, but not yet locked. Of the toilet bowl 1 made of ceramic, only the rear horizontal mounting bar is shown. It carries two through holes 2 for receiving Fasteners, until now usually screws. The through-holes 2 are usually made relatively large, so that toilet sets can be taken from different manufacturers with different standards. In each of these through holes 2, a first blocking element 3 are used, each comprising an insert element 4 of a flat cover 5 form fit. The insert elements 4 are dimensioned so that they fit with clearance in the through holes 2 and have at their upper boundary on a bead 6, which serves as a stop when inserting the insert elements 4, so that the insertion process is clearly divided into two phases: In one first phase in which the insert elements 4 can be inserted with plugged blocking elements 3 in the through holes 2 until the abutment of the edge beads 6 on the toilet bowl, and a second phase in which pressure can be exerted on the rear edge of the flat clothing 5 through which Pressure a substantially spherical end 7 of each end of the insert elements 4 is pressed through the two blocking elements 3 therethrough. The blocking elements 3 are made of an elastomer which is compressible to a suitable extent, and wear where according to Fig. 1b the flat cover 5 is seated on a protective cap 6a made of plastic or metal. The ensemble of the elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 6a, 7 is supplied to the user preferably assembled. In the other case, he has reversed the insert elements 4 by the blocking elements 3 and then tighten in the flat cover 5.

In Fig. 1b ist das Ende der zweiten Phase dargestellt, in welcher die unteren Enden der Blockierelemente 3 durch die im wesentlichen kugelförmigen Enden der Einsatzelemente 4 aufgeweitet sind und so die Deckelgarnitur 5 blockieren. Soll diese zu Reinigungszwecken von der Toilettenschüssel wieder getrennt werden, wird die Einsetzphase durch Zug an der Deckelgarnitur 5 rückgängig gemacht. An der Toilettenschüssel verbleibt kein Teil der erfindungsgemässen Toilettendeckels und die - zusammenhängenden - Teile des Toilettengarniturs können der Reinigung zugeführt werden.In Fig. 1b the end of the second phase is shown, in which the lower ends of the blocking elements 3 are widened by the substantially spherical ends of the insert elements 4 and thus block the flat clothing 5. If these are to be separated again for cleaning purposes of the toilet bowl, the insertion phase is reversed by train on the flat top set 5. No part of the toilet lid according to the invention remains on the toilet bowl and the parts of the toilet set which are connected to one another can be supplied for cleaning.

Fig. 2a zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel, welches den gleichen Grundgedanken aufnimmt wie das erste, die Mittel zur Lösung der Aufgabe jedoch variiert. Fig. 2a shows a second embodiment, which receives the same basic idea as the first, the means for solving the task, however, varies.

In die Durchgangslöcher 2 wird je ein zweites Einsatzelement 11 mit vormontierten zweiten Blockierelementen 12 eingesetzt. Diese zweiten Blockierelemente 12 weisen je ein zylindrisches Durchgangsloch auf, in welchem sich das zweite Einsatzelement mit Spiel bewegen kann. Das kugelförmige Ende 13 des zweiten Einsatzelementes ist etwas grösser ausgeführt als im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 1 a, b und befindet sich in der Einsatzstellung in einer oberen kugelförmigen Raste (6b) im zweiten Blockierelement 12. Hinter der Toilettenschüssel 1 weist das zweite Einsatzelement 11 eine quer dazu verlaufende Schwenkachse 10 auf mit einem Exzenterelement 8 und einem fest damit verbundenen Hebel 9. Diese letzten Elemente sind hinter der Toilettenschüssel angeordnet.In the through holes 2, a second insert element 11 is used with pre-assembled second blocking elements 12 each. These second blocking elements 12 each have a cylindrical through hole in which the second insert element can move with play. The spherical end 13 of the second Insert element is made slightly larger than in the first embodiment according to Fig. 1 a, b Behind the toilet bowl 1, the second insert element 11 has a pivot axis 10 extending transversely thereto with an eccentric element 8 and a lever 9 fixedly connected thereto. These last elements are arranged behind the toilet bowl.

In Fig. 2b ist die Vorrichtung gemäss Fig. 2a in arretiertem Zustande dargestellt. Die Hebel 9 werden gegeneinander geschwenkt, wie durch die Pfeile angedeutet. Damit sind die Hebel 9 kollinear ausgerichtet und können mittels einer auf dem einen Hebel 9 angeordneten Hülse 9a gegeneinander arretiert werden. Durch die gleichzeitig verlaufende Drehung der Exzenterelemente 8 werden die zweiten Einsatzelemente 11 etwas angehoben und die kugelförmigen Enden 13 drücken die unteren Enden 13 der Blockierelemente 12, welche über die Durchgangslöcher 2 unten vorstehen in Rasten 6c, auseinander und arretieren damit die ganze Vorrichtung.In Fig. 2b is the device according to Fig. 2a shown in locked state. The levers 9 are pivoted against each other, as indicated by the arrows. Thus, the lever 9 are aligned collinear and can be locked against each other by means of a lever 9 arranged on the sleeve 9a. By the simultaneous rotation of the eccentric 8, the second insert members 11 are slightly raised and the spherical ends 13 press the lower ends 13 of the blocking elements 12, which project beyond the through holes 2 below in notches 6c, and thus lock the whole device.

In Fig. 3a,b ist ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgedankens dargestellt. Wiederum zeigt Fig. 3a die lediglich eingesetzte Vorrichtung, die zweite Zeichnung Fig. 3b die arretierte.In Fig. 3a, b a third embodiment of the inventive concept is shown. Again shows Fig. 3a the only used device, the second drawing Fig. 3b the locked.

Während die Exzenterelemente 8, Hebel 9, Hülse 9a, Schwenkachse 10 vom Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 2a, b unverändert übernommen sind, liegt hier die Variante eines dritten Blockierelementes 14 vor. Dieses besteht aus einer äusseren Hülse 14a und einer inneren Hülse 14b, welche axial miteinander verschraubbar sind, so dass deren Gesamthöhe der Dicke des hinteren Randes der Toilettenschüssel 1 angepasst werden kann. Ferner trägt dieses dritte Blockierelement 14, welches mit Spiel im Durchgangsloch 2 beweglich ist, keinen Randwulst 6, sondern die Schutzkappe 6a deckt hier eine Elastomerscheibe und die äussere Hülse 14a des dritten Blockierelementes ab. Am unteren Ende trägt die dritte Variante eines Einsatzelementes 15 eine Scheibe 16, welche mit einem - vertikal beweglichen - dritten Einsatzelement 15 verschraubt ist. Der Durchmesser der Scheibe 16 ist so bemessen, dass er mit Spiel durch das Durchgangsloch 2 in der Toilettenschüssel 1 hindurchgeht.While the eccentric elements 8, lever 9, sleeve 9a, pivot axis 10 of the embodiment according to Fig. 2a, b unchanged, here is the variant of a third blocking element 14 before. This consists of an outer sleeve 14a and an inner sleeve 14b, which are axially screwed together so that the total height of the thickness of the rear edge of the toilet bowl 1 can be adjusted. Furthermore, this third blocking element 14, which is movable with clearance in the through-hole 2, does not bear a bead 6, but instead the protective cap 6a covers an elastomer disk and the outer sleeve 14a of the third blocking element. At the lower end, the third variant of an insert element 15 carries a disk 16, which is screwed to a - third vertically movable - insert element 15. The diameter of the disc 16 is sized to pass through the through-hole 2 in the toilet bowl 1 with clearance.

Soll die Deckelgarnitur 5 nun mit der Toilettenschüssel 1 verriegelt werden, so werden, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 2a, b, die Hebel 9 nach innen umgelegt und mit der Hülse 9a gesichert. Dadurch hebt sich die Scheibe 16, und ein kurzes Elastomer-Rohr 17 wird so deformiert, dass das dritte Einsatzelement 15 verriegelt wird.If the flat cover set 5 is now locked to the toilet bowl 1, then, as in the embodiment according to Fig. 2a, b , the lever 9 folded inwards and secured with the sleeve 9a. As a result, the disc 16 rises, and a short elastomer tube 17 is deformed so that the third insert member 15 is locked.

Eine Variante hierzu zeigt Fig. 4. Nur die beiden Hülsen 14a, b des dritten Blockierelementes 14 sind davon betroffen. Eine äussere Hülse 14c trägt einige, beispielsweise drei, zueinander parallele horizontale Schlitze 18, entsprechend Nocken 19 an einer inneren Hülse 14d. Damit kann die Höhe des dritten Blockierelementes 14 in Stufen verstellt werden. Die Deckelgarnitur 5 ist, sofern nicht verriegelt, nach wie vor durch einfaches Anheben von der Toilettenschüssel 1 trennbar, womit beide Teile - nämlich die Toilettenschüssel 1 und die Deckelgarnitur 5 ohne an der Toilettenschüssel 1 verbleibende Teile - einzeln vorliegen und der entsprechenden Reinigung zugeführt werden können.A variant shows this Fig. 4 , Only the two sleeves 14a, b of the third blocking element 14 are affected. An outer sleeve 14c carries a few, for example three, mutually parallel horizontal slots 18, corresponding to cam 19 on an inner sleeve 14d. Thus, the height of the third blocking element 14 can be adjusted in stages. The cover assembly 5 is, if not locked, still separable by simply lifting the toilet bowl 1, so that both parts - namely the toilet bowl 1 and the flat cover 5 without the toilet bowl 1 remaining parts - individually present and the appropriate cleaning can be supplied ,

Allen hier beschriebenen Deckelgarnituren 5 ist das Merkmal gemeinsam, dass sie ohne an der Toilettenschüssel 1 verbleibende Teile nach lösendem Betätigen der Verriegelungsvorrichtung durch Anheben der Deckelgarnitur 5 restlos von der Toilettenschüssel 1 getrennt werden können, um dann je für sich einem Reinigungsvorgang zugeführt zu werden.All flat clothings 5 described here have the feature in common that they can be completely separated from the toilet bowl 1 by lifting the flat set 5 without loosening the toilet bowl 1 after loosening the locking device, in order then to be separately supplied to a cleaning process.
