In the Fig. 1 to 4 a preferred embodiment of the drain fitting body 1 from the system according to the invention is shown purely schematically in different views.

It can be seen that the drain fitting body 1 has a housing 2 and an overflow pipe 4 with a sealing element 6 arranged thereon, which in a known manner in the in the Fig. 1 to 4 illustrated closing or rest position rests on the valve seat of a bottom or drain valve of a cistern, not shown. The sealing element 6 is surrounded by a flow deflector 8 according to the teaching of DE 199 31 203 A1 , the content of which is fully incorporated by reference in this embodiment.

Within the housing 2, the overflow pipe 4 is arranged movable in the direction of the vertically extending longitudinal axis L in order to move the sealing element 6 from the closed or rest position shown in an open position, not shown.

There is a first tie rod 10 and a second tie rod 12 is provided, wherein on the first tie rod 10, a first float 14 and the second tie rod 12, a second float 16 is associated. The first float 14 is via a plug connection coupled to the overflow pipe 4, to which the overflow pipe 4 on its outer surface has a recess 18, engage in the locking elements 20.

The housing 2 is open at the top as the lower brake reservoir 22 for the second float 16, for which purpose the brake reservoir has a bottom 24. The overflow pipe 4 passes through the bottom 24. In the lower brake reservoir 22, a control bore 26 is provided for controlling the discharge quantity or the discharge speed, which is selectively closed by a spool 28 in a known manner. By adjusting the discharge opening of the control bore 26 by means of the vertically displaceable spool 28, the flushing water is set.

The locking elements 20 are arranged on a the overflow pipe 4 partially surrounding cladding tube 30, which rests on completion of the small amount flushing on the second float 16 and thereby holds down the second float 16. On the other hand, prevents the floated second float 16 by its concerns on the cladding tube too fast sinking of the overflow pipe 4 with the sealing element 6, so that a bulk purge can be achieved.

For locking the second float 16, a latch 32 is further provided, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 2. Above the bolt 32, the second pull rod 12 is arranged, by means of which the bulk flush can be triggered. The second pull rod passes through the first float 14 and is axially displaceable parallel to the longitudinal axis L in a guide 34 arranged on the housing 2. The second pull rod 12 has at its lower end a recess (not shown), in which the bolt 32 engages with its not shown upper, angled to the longitudinal axis L end in the illustrated blocking position of the large volume release. In this blocking position, the bolt is not pivoted and forms with its lower end 36 a buoyancy stop for the second float 16th

Further, the second pull rod 12 has a guide surface 38 for the upper angled end of the bolt 32. By lifting the second pull rod 12, this upper end of the bolt 32 is moved out of the recess of the second pull rod 12 and guided along the guide surface 38, whereby the lower end 36 of the bolt 32 radially pivoted inwardly to the longitudinal axis L and thereby is above the free space 40 in the second float 16. Thus, the second float 16 can float and the bulk flush is released when at the same time the first float 14 is released.

The exact operation of the control of the large and small flush is the EP 0 899 386 A2 and DE 199 31 203 A1 be removed, both of which are included in this regard by reference to their disclosure content.

The first float 14 is mounted on the first pull rod 10 in the sense of a worm drive by means of a screw 42 vertically displaceable. In addition, the cladding tube 30 has a guide for the first float 14 and the cladding tube 30 has a radially projecting arm 44 to which the first tie rod 14 is rotatably supported and held. Thereby, the first float 14 can be moved by rotation of the first tie rod 14 about its axis vertically up or down with respect to the cladding tube 30 to the first float 14 from a substantially resting on the second float 16 lower end position in a maximum to set the upper position.

The top of the second float 16 forms a lower bottom surface and, in conjunction with the housing 2, an upper brake reservoir 46 for the first float 14. In addition, the second float 16 is configured to provide the control port 26 for direct outflow of water from the lower float Brake tank 22 or the upper brake reservoir 46 locks.

Thus, depending on the setting and triggering state different rinsing functions can be achieved. If the second float is locked with the latch 32, then the control port is locked regardless of the position of the spool 28. The outflow of flushing water from the cistern for the small flush is determined by the first float 14 and is for example in the maximum upper position about 2 liters, in a lower position about 3 and in the resting on the second shimmer 16 substantially position about Of course, these drainage volumes depend on the geometry of the cistern.

In the event of a simultaneous release of the bolt 32 by means of the second pull rod 12, the second float 16 can also float and thus prevents a too early lowering of the overflow pipe 4, wherein the rate of descent is determined by the spool 28, and in the example given about 4 liters Rinse water at fully open spool 28, so completely released control port 26, and about 6 liters are discharged at fully closed control port 26.

The housing 2 is provided with two first, mutually opposite apertures 48, through which the first tie rod 10 and the second tie rod 12 are tangible. For this purpose, the tie rods 10, 12 respectively first driver 50, 52 for a clip connection.

The first connecting means 56 on the second pull rod 12 also comprises two on both sides of the pull rod 12 bolt-shaped protruding elements 62, said pull rod 12 is formed in this area is substantially cylindrical.

On the housing 2, a second opening 64 is also arranged, which is in the installed state below the waterline (not shown). This opening is surrounded by a box-shaped frame 66 which defines a flat abutment surface 68. On the frame 66, in each case inwardly offset projections 70 are provided opposite each other. In addition, above the second opening 64, two oppositely arranged projections 72 are provided which have clip bearings 74. These clip bearings 74 are designed as recesses with a semicircular end and an overlying constriction, so that cylinder bolts are clipped.

Through the opening 64, a collar 76 projecting radially outwardly from the cladding tube 30 can be attacked as a second driver with a stop face 78 pointing downwards in order to lift the cladding tube 30 and thus the valve tube 4. In addition, an am Latch 32 laterally disposed boom 80 as the third driver, which has an inwardly facing stop surface 82, whereby the upper end of the bolt 32 to the outside and consequently the lower end 36 is pivoted inwardly, whereby the bulk flush can be activated.

On the housing 2 are further provided offset by 90 ° to the first openings 48 arranged tabs 84 and below these tabs 84 are locking elements 86, which can be pivoted inwards to the longitudinal axis L out under construction of restoring forces. Above the tabs 84 are each extending in the axial direction extending projections 88. In addition, two oppositely disposed locking elements 92 are provided on the cover 90 of the housing 2, which have substantially cylindrical cross-section and lateral projections 94 have.

To control the adjustment of the position of the first float 14, the housing 2 is formed in this area with a viewing window 96, this viewing window 96 extends along the circumference about the longitudinal direction L and forms a single part of the housing 2. The housing is thus formed in three parts with an upper part 98 and a lower part 99, wherein the parts 96, 98, 99 are fastened together by means of corresponding latching connections 100.

In the Fig. 5 to 8 Various trigger modules according to the invention are shown purely schematically in perspective views.

In Fig. 5 For example, the tripping module 200 is shown for a mechanical trip. It can be seen that the mechanical release module 200 has two module elements 202, 204 which are associated with the first pull rod 10 and the second pull rod 12, respectively. The module member 202 has a flat portion 206 with an engaging aperture 208 for an actuator (not shown). The flat section 206 is adjoined by a disk-shaped section 210, from which two parallel snap-action webs 212 extend pointing downwards, each of which is provided with a hole bore 214.

The module member 204 also has a flat portion 216 with an engagement opening 218 for an actuator (not shown). The flat portion 216 is followed by an annular portion 220, of which two ring-segment-like bayonet webs 222 extend pointing down, each provided with an undercut 224, wherein the two undercuts 224 are arranged radially opposite one another.

In Fig. 6 For example, the tripping module 250 is shown for pneumatic actuation. This trigger module 250 has a cross member 252, on the side of each of which a pneumatic jack 254 is arranged. These pneumatic lifters 254 have a resilient diaphragm piston (not shown) from which a rigidly formed piston head 256 within the pneumatic jack 254 is lifted when pressurized. This pressurization takes place by means of compressed air, for example by an actuating element (not shown) designed as a pressure transmitter, via a connection nozzle (not shown) arranged below.

On the piston head 256 laterally projecting carrier 258 is arranged, which penetrates the pneumatic jack 254 laterally. On this support 258, in turn, a coupling means 260 is movably arranged, which has an eyelet 262 for this purpose. Furthermore, the coupling means 260 has a clip element 264 for a clip connection.

In the cross member 252, a ring-segment-shaped recess 266 is provided and also two locking means 268 are rotatably arranged, which have a central opening 270, which correspond respectively to a corresponding aperture (not shown) of the cross member. Alternatively, the locking means 268 may also be provided as independent individual elements.

In addition, on the side of the housing 304 in the vicinity of the connection opening 302 opposite bolt elements 311 are provided.

A coupling element 316 is arranged on the housing 304 by means of a clip closure 312, which engages behind a projection 314 of the housing 304, wherein an insertion part (not shown) of the coupling element 316 engages in a receiving opening 317 of the housing 304. On the coupling element 316, in turn, by means of clip locking 318, two release cables 320a, 320b designed as Bowden cables are fastened. The coupling element 316 has two transmission pins (not shown) assigned to the respective release cables 320a, 320b, which engage in the housing 304 and can act there on the levers 322a, 322b. For this purpose, the levers 322a, 322b are pivotably mounted about the shaft 324, the lever 322a having an upper abutment surface 326 and the lever 322b having an upper stop surface 328 and a laterally projecting latch release 330. By pressing in the souls 332 (partially exposed) of the release cable 320a, 320b, the upper abutment surfaces 326, 328 of the levers 322a, 322b can thus be pivoted upwards. For pivoting back the levers 322a, 322b, return springs (not shown) are provided in the coupling member 316 for the transmission pins.

In Fig. 8 For example, the tripping module 350 is shown for single-cable tripping. This tripping module 350 also comprises a housing 354 which is substantially closed except for a connection opening 352, the connection opening having an opening frame 356 with inside, lateral flat recesses 358 and a L-shaped engagement means 360 arranged at the bottom, which likewise acts with respect to the opening frame Lying inside. In addition, on the side of the housing 354 in the vicinity of the connection opening 352 opposite bolt elements 361 are provided.

On the housing 354, a single Bowden cable 362 is arranged, which pivots under tension a lever 364 about the bearing axis 366 with the upper stop surface 368 the laterally projecting latch release 370 upwards. In that regard, this training corresponds to the operation of the lever 322b Fig. 6 However, this lever 364 is set to direct train transmission of the Bowden cable 362 and not on pressure transmission of a transmission pin.

At the upper end of the Bowden cable 362, a coupling element 372 for an actuating means (not shown) is arranged. This actuating means is insertable into a receiving opening 374, wherein a bracing member 376 is provided which acts on a slotted formed bushing 378, which has an inside partially circumferentially arranged collar (not shown). In the interior of the coupling element 372, a reversing lever (not shown) is pivotally mounted, which deflects a pressure effect acting from above into the bushing 378 into a pulling action acting on the Bowden cable 362. Furthermore, adjusting means 380 are provided in order to adjust the Verschenkhub of the lever 364 on a retraction or retraction of a bearing sleeve 382 for the Bowden cable sheath 384. Finally, on both sides of the clamping element 376 with respect to the exit direction of the Bowden cable 362 arranged locking projections 386 and associated plane-parallel guide surfaces 388 are provided.

In Fig. 9 For example, the trip module 400 is shown for a start-stop trip. This tripping module 400 includes a first module element 402 that is substantially similar in construction to the tripping module 300 for two-cable tripping Fig. 7 equivalent. In contrast, however, the first module element 402 does not have the lever 322a and not the associated trigger cable 320a. With this module element 402 thus a bulk flushing can be triggered.
