Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Toilettensitzes und/oder Toilettendeckels an einer Toilettenschüssel sowie ein entsprechendes Verfahren dazu.The present invention describes a device for releasably securing a toilet seat and / or toilet lid to a toilet bowl and a corresponding method thereto.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird dafür benutzt, um Toilettensitze und/oder Toilettendeckel an einer Toilettenschüssel zu befestigen. Damit findet die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung Ihre Anwendung bei der Installation sanitärer Anlagen.The device according to the invention is used to attach toilet seats and / or toilet lid to a toilet bowl. Thus, the device of the invention finds its application in the installation of sanitary facilities.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, dass Toilettensitze bzw. Toilettendeckel an die Toilettenschüssel geschraubt werden. Hierbei sind in der Toilettenschüssel entsprechende Bohrungen vorgesehen, in die Gewindestangen aufgenommen werden, welche wiederum an den zu montierenden Toilettensitzen und/oder Toilettendeckeln befestigt sind. Nach dem Durchstecken der Gewindestangen werden diese in geeigneter Weise verschraubt. Es entsteht eine feste Verbindung zwischen Toilettendeckel bzw. Toilettensitz und der Toilettenschüssel.From the prior art it is known that toilet seats or toilet lid are screwed to the toilet bowl. Here, corresponding holes are provided in the toilet bowl, are added to the threaded rods, which in turn are attached to the toilet seats and / or toilet lids to be mounted. After passing through the threaded rods, these are in a suitable manner screwed. The result is a firm connection between the toilet lid or toilet seat and the toilet bowl.

Da man bei diesem Befestigungsvorgang zwingend Werkzeug benötigt, ist der Vorgang nicht von jedermann zu bewerkstelligen und auch nicht als einfach zu bezeichnen. Sollte einmal der Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel beschädigt sein und ausgewechselt werden müssen, soll nun nicht die Demontage des Toilettensitzes und des Toilettendeckels derart kompliziert gestaltet sein, dass Werkzeug benötigt wird.Since you absolutely need tools in this attachment process, the process is not by anyone to accomplish and also not to be described as simple. Should the toilet seat or toilet lid ever have to be damaged and replaced, the disassembly of the toilet seat and the toilet lid should not be so complicated that tools are required.

Hierzu Lösungen bekannt, bei denen keine Gewindestange benutzt wird, sondern ein Stecksystem. Hierbei wird der Toilettensitz bzw. der Toilettendeckel auf die Toilettenschüssel aufgesetzt und in geeigneter Art und Weise mechanisch eingerastet. Bei Demontage dieser Vorrichtung muss ein dafür vorgesehener Taster oder Knopf betätigt werden, um die Sperre zu lösen. Danach kann der demontierte Toilettensitz und/oder Toilettendeckel von der Toilettenschüssel genommen werden.For this purpose known solutions in which no threaded rod is used, but a plug-in system. Here, the toilet seat or the toilet lid is placed on the toilet bowl and mechanically locked in a suitable manner. When disassembling this device, a dedicated button or button must be pressed to release the lock. Thereafter, the dismantled toilet seat and / or toilet lid can be removed from the toilet bowl.

Nachteilig bei dieser Art der Montage bzw. Demontage ist, dass das Abnehmen des Toilettensitzes bzw. des Toilettendeckels von der Toilettenschüssel sich als sehr schwierig erweist, wenn nur eine Hand zur Verfügung steht. Dies ist der Fall, da die Zweite den entsprechenden Taster oder Knopf betätigen muss. Somit ist auch diese Vorgehensweise nicht als einfache Demontage zu bezeichnen.A disadvantage of this type of assembly or disassembly is that the removal of the toilet seat or the toilet lid from the toilet bowl turns out to be very difficult if only one hand is available. This is the case, as the second has to press the corresponding button or button. Thus, this procedure is not to be described as a simple disassembly.

Das Dokument CN 201 595 766 U beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Toilettensitzes. Hierbei ist mindestens ein Zapfen vorgesehen, der in eine Öffnung in einer Drehspindel einbringbar ist, um den Toilettensitz an einer Toilettenschüssel zu befestigen. Zur Sicherung und zum Lösen des Zapfens in der Öffnung, ist seitlich an der Vorrichtung ein Taster vorgesehen. Dieser muss betätigt werden, um der Toilettensitz an der Toilettenschüssel zu befestigen und wieder von dieser zu lösen.The document CN 201 595 766 U describes a device for releasably securing a toilet seat. In this case, at least one pin is provided which can be introduced into an opening in a rotary spindle in order to fasten the toilet seat to a toilet bowl. To secure and to release the pin in the opening, a button is provided laterally on the device. This must be operated to attach the toilet seat to the toilet bowl and to release it again.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es demnach, eine Vorrichtung zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Toilettensitzes und/oder eines Toilettendeckels an einer Toilettenschüssel zu ermöglichen, die die obengenannten Nachteile nicht besitzt und somit als einfach zu bezeichnen ist. Einfache Montagen sind deshalb auch bei Toilettensitzen und Toilettendeckeln notwendig, da heutzutage Toilettendeckel und Toilettensitze mit verschiedenartigen Dekoren versehen sind und man mittels einer einfachen lösbaren Befestigung, je nach Bedarf, die mit verschiedenen Dekoren versehenen Toilettensitze bzw. Toilettendeckel auf die Toilettenschüssel montieren kann.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for releasably securing a toilet seat and / or a toilet lid to a toilet bowl, which does not have the above-mentioned disadvantages and thus can be described as simple. Simple Mondays are therefore also necessary for toilet seats and toilet lids, since nowadays toilet lids and toilet seats are provided with various designs and you can mount the toilet bowl with toilet seats provided with different decors on the toilet bowl by means of a simple releasable attachment, as needed.

Dies wird mit dem Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruches gelöst. Hierbei ist ein Träger vorgesehen, der mittels Befestigungsmitteln an der Toilettenschüssel befestigbar ist. Dies kann weiterhin eine Gewindestange sein, die angeschraubt wird, oder Rastklemmen oder ähnliche Verfahren zur Befestigung an der Toilettenschüssel. Weiterhin ist mindestens ein Zapfen vorgesehen, sowie für jeden Zapfen jeweils eine Durchführung.This is solved with the characteristics of the main claim. Here, a support is provided which can be fastened by means of fastening means to the toilet bowl. This may further be a threaded rod which is screwed on, or detent clips or similar methods for attachment to the toilet bowl. Furthermore, at least one pin is provided, and for each pin in each case a passage.

Es sind zwei hauptsächliche Ausführungsmöglichkeiten vorgesehen, nämlich eine Erste, bei der die Zapfen an den Trägern angebracht sind und somit mittels des Trägers an der Toilettenschüssel. In dieser Ausführungsform sind dann die entsprechenden Durchführungen an dem Toilettensitz und/oder an dem Toilettendeckel angebracht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird dann also der Toilettensitz bzw. der Toilettendeckel auf die Träger aufgesetzt, sodass die Zapfen, welche am Träger angeordnet sind, durch Durchführungen, die dann am Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel angeordnet sind, hindurch geführt werden.There are two main possible embodiments provided, namely a first, in which the pins are attached to the carriers and thus by means of the carrier to the toilet bowl. In this embodiment, the corresponding bushings are then attached to the toilet seat and / or to the toilet lid. In this embodiment, the toilet seat or the toilet lid is then placed on the support, so that the pins which are arranged on the carrier, are guided through passages, which are then arranged on the toilet seat or toilet lid.

In einer zweiten Ausführungsform sind die Zapfen am Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel angebracht und die entsprechenden Durchführungen an den Trägern. Bei Aufsetzen des Toilettendeckels bzw. des Toilettensitzes in dieser Ausführungsform werden dann die Zapfen, welche am Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel angebracht sind, in die entsprechenden Durchführungen auf dem Träger eingeführt.In a second embodiment, the pins are attached to the toilet seat or toilet lid and the corresponding bushings on the carriers. When placing the toilet lid or the toilet seat in this Embodiment then the pins, which are attached to the toilet seat or toilet lid, inserted into the corresponding passages on the support.

Letztendlich ist auch eine Kombination dieser beiden Ausführungsformen möglich, bei der mindestens einen Zapfen am Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel angebracht ist und mindestens ein weiterer Zapfen am Träger. Entsprechend viele Durchführungen müssen dann ebenfalls an Toilettendeckel bzw. Toilettensitz sowie am Träger angebracht sein.Finally, a combination of these two embodiments is possible in which at least one pin is attached to the toilet seat or toilet lid and at least one other pin on the carrier. Correspondingly many bushings must then also be attached to the toilet lid or toilet seat and on the support.

Damit der zu befestigende Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel an der Toilettenschüssel gehalten wird, ist mindestens ein Sperrelement vorgesehen, welches in die Durchführungen eingebracht werden kann. Dieses Sperrelement ist so geartet, dass es bei Einbringung der Zapfen in die Durchführungen eine Kraft auf die Zapfen ausüben kann, um diese in ihrer Position zu halten. Um dies zu ermöglichen, sind die Zapfen jeweils mit einer Nut ausgestattet und bei Einführen der Zapfen in die Durchführungen treten die Sperrelemente in Wirkverbindung mit den Nuten. Die Sperrelemente können hierbei z. B. aus Ringfedern bestehen. Wird nun der Zapfen weit genug in die Durchführung eingebracht, tritt das Sperrelement in Wirkverbindung mit der Nut und hält die Durchführung in dieser Position auf dem Zapfen. Der Toilettensitz bzw. der Toilettendeckel ist nun mit der Toilettenschüssel lösbar verbunden und die Vorrichtung ist in einen Verbundzustand versetzt.So that the toilet seat or toilet lid to be fastened is held on the toilet bowl, at least one blocking element is provided, which can be introduced into the passages. This locking element is such that it can exert a force on the pins upon insertion of the pins in the bushings to hold them in position. To enable this, the pins are each provided with a groove and upon insertion of the pins in the bushings, the locking elements come into operative connection with the grooves. The blocking elements can in this case z. B. consist of ring springs. Now, if the pin is inserted far enough into the passage, the blocking element enters into operative connection with the groove and holds the implementation in this position on the pin. The toilet seat or the toilet lid is now releasably connected to the toilet bowl and the device is placed in a composite state.

Damit das Sperrelement eine Kraft auf den Zapfen ausüben kann, muss es bei Einführung des Zapfens in die Durchführung so aufgeweitet werden, dass der Zapfen durch das Sperrelement hindurchgeführt werden kann. Zur Erleichterung dieses Vorgangs ist bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform der Zapfen zu der Seite hin, die in die Durchführung eingebracht wird, konisch zulaufend. Hierdurch wird die Aufweitung des Sperrelementes vereinfacht. Die Nut im Zapfen ist dann in Einführungsrichtung des Zapfens hinter dem konischen Zulauf angebracht, sodass das Sperrelement zunächst über den Zapfen aufgeweitet wird und dann in Wirkverbindung mit der Nut treten kann.In order for the blocking element to exert a force on the journal, it must be widened upon insertion of the journal into the passage in such a way that the journal can be passed through the blocking element. To facilitate this process, in a particular embodiment, the pin is tapered to the side which is inserted into the bushing. As a result, the expansion of the blocking element is simplified. The groove in the pin is then mounted in the insertion direction of the pin behind the conical inlet, so that the blocking element is first widened over the pin and then can enter into operative connection with the groove.

Um den Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel nun wieder von der Toilettenschüssel zu lösen, ist ein Überwinden der Kraft der Sperrelemente auf die eingebrachten Zapfen bzw. die Nuten der eingebrachten Zapfen nötig. Der Toilettensitz bzw. der Toilettendeckel wird von der Toilettenschüssel weggezogen und zwar mit einer so starken Kraft, dass die Sperrelemente aus Ihrer Wirkverbindung mit dem Nuten herausgelöst werden. Auch hierbei werden die Sperrelemente sowie aufgeweitet, dass die Zapfen sich wieder aus den Durchführungen herauslösen lassen. Die Vorrichtung wird hierbei in den Lösezustand versetzt. Durch diese einfache Anbringung des Toilettensitzes bzw. Toilettendeckels an der Toilettenschüssel kann, ohne Hilfe eines Werkzeuges und ohne Betätigung eines Knopfes, Tasters oder ähnlichem Element jederzeit der Toilettensitz bzw. der Toilettendeckel von der Toilettenschüssel entfernt und wieder aufgebracht werden. Ebenso hat man dafür beide Hände zur Verfügung.To solve the toilet seat or toilet lid now again from the toilet bowl, overcoming the force of the locking elements on the introduced pins or the grooves of the introduced pin is necessary. The toilet seat or the toilet lid is pulled away from the toilet bowl with such a strong force that the locking elements are released from their operative connection with the grooves. Again, the locking elements are expanded and that the pins can be dissolved out of the bushings again. The device is in this case put in the release state. This simple attachment of the toilet seat or toilet lid to the toilet bowl can, without the help of a tool and without pressing a button, buttons or similar element at any time the toilet seat or the toilet lid removed from the toilet bowl and reapplied. Likewise, one has both hands available for it.

Die Sperrelemente können in die Durchführungen fest eingebracht sein oder in einer besonderen Ausführungsform über Ausnehmungen der Durchführung zugeführt werden. Diese Ausnehmungen sind dann von den Durchführungen zu einer Seite herausgeführt, sodass die Sperrelemente den Durchführungen zugeordnet werden können oder aus den Durchführungen wieder herausgenommen werden können.The blocking elements can be firmly inserted into the bushings or, in a particular embodiment, can be fed through recesses of the bushing. These recesses are then led out from the bushings to one side, so that the blocking elements can be assigned to the bushings or can be taken out of the bushings again.

Um nach Montage des Toilettensitzes bzw. des Toilettendeckels an der Toilettenschüssel die normale Klappbewegung des Toilettensitzes bzw. des Toilettendeckels zu ermöglichen, ist in einer besonderen Ausführungsform mindestens eine Drehspindel vorgesehen, welche entweder Teil eines normalen Scharnieres sein kann, oder welche grob zylinderförmig aufgebaut ist und in dafür vorgesehene Aufnahmen im Toilettensitz und/oder Toilettendeckel einbringbar ist.In order to enable the normal folding movement of the toilet seat or the toilet lid after installation of the toilet seat or the toilet lid to the toilet bowl, in a particular embodiment, at least one rotary spindle is provided, which may either be part of a normal hinge, or which is roughly cylindrical and in appropriate recordings in the toilet seat and / or toilet lid can be introduced.

In dem Fall, wo die Drehspindel Teil eines Scharnieres ist, wird dann das Scharnier mittels herkömmlicher Befestigungsmöglichkeiten, wie beispielsweise Schrauben, an Toilettensitz und/oder Toilettendeckel befestigt.In the case where the rotary spindle is part of a hinge, then the hinge is attached to the toilet seat and / or toilet lid by means of conventional fastening means, such as screws.

Im Falle der Einbringung der Drehspindel in Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel bildet die Drehspindel die Drehachse von Toilettendeckel bzw. Toilettensitz. In dieser Ausführungsform besitzt der Toilettendeckel bzw. Toilettensitz entsprechende Aufnahmen, in die die Drehspindel eingebracht wird. Innerhalb dieser Aufnahme ist die Drehspindel drehbar gelagert und somit kann sich der Toilettensitz bzw. der Toilettendeckel um die Drehspindel drehen, um die Klappbewegung zu ermöglichen.In the case of the introduction of the rotary spindle in toilet seat or toilet lid, the rotary spindle forms the axis of rotation of toilet lid or toilet seat. In this embodiment, the toilet lid or toilet seat has corresponding seats in which the rotary spindle is introduced. Within this receptacle, the rotary spindle is rotatably mounted and thus the toilet seat or the toilet lid can rotate about the rotary spindle to allow the folding movement.

Egal ob die Drehspindel als Drehachse in Aufnahmen des Toilettensitzes bzw. Toilettendeckels eingebracht ist oder als Teil eines Scharnieres ausgebildet ist, welches an Toilettendeckel bzw. Toilettensitz befestigt wird, ist dann entweder mindestens ein Zapfen oder mindestens eine Durchführung an der Drehspindel angebracht. Über die Drehspindel wird also mindestens ein Zapfen bzw. mindestens eine Durchführung dem Toilettensitz und/oder Toilettendeckel zugeordnet.Whether the rotary spindle is incorporated as a rotation axis in recordings of the toilet seat or toilet lid or is formed as part of a hinge which is attached to toilet lid or toilet seat, then either at least one pin or at least one bushing is attached to the rotating spindle. About the rotary spindle so at least one pin or at least one implementation associated with the toilet seat and / or toilet lid.

In einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform ist zu jeder Drehspindel eine Feder zugeordnet, um die Drehspindel in der Aufnahme des Toilettensitzes bzw. des Toilettendeckels zu positionieren. Ebenso wird durch diese Feder gewährleistet, dass sich der Toilettensitz nicht vom Toilettendeckel im Verbundzustand löst.In a further particular embodiment, a spring is associated with each rotary spindle to position the rotary spindle in the receptacle of the toilet seat or the toilet lid. Likewise, this spring ensures that the toilet seat does not come off the toilet lid in the composite state.

Ebenfalls kann in einer besonderen Ausführungsform in die Drehspindel eine Dämpfung eingebaut sein, um bei der Klappbewegung von Toilettendeckel bzw. Toilettensitz diese Klappbewegung zu dämpfen.Also, in a particular embodiment, a damping can be incorporated in the rotary spindle to dampen this folding movement during the folding movement of toilet lid or toilet seat.

Um die über die Ausnehmungen zugeführten Sperrelemente in den Durchführungen zu halten, sind optional Abdeckungen vorgesehen und zwar für jede Ausnehmung. Die Abdeckungen werden auf den Träger bzw. die Drehspindel aufgesetzt, je nach dem welcher Teil mit einer Durchführung versehen ist. Die Abdeckung deckt damit dann die Ausnehmung der Durchführung ab. Um die Abdeckung in ihrer Position zu halten, können optional Klemmmittel vorgesehen sein.In order to hold the locking elements supplied via the recesses in the bushings, optional covers are provided for each recess. The covers are placed on the carrier or the rotary spindle, depending on which part is provided with a passage. The cover then covers the recess of the implementation. In order to hold the cover in position, optional clamping means may be provided.

Sollten durch eine besondere Bauform des Scharniers, beispielsweise wenn die Drehspindel in Aufnahmen des Toilettensitzes bzw. des Toilettendeckels eingebracht wird, die Durchführungen, wenn sie an der Drehspindel angeordnet sind, nicht im eingebauten Zustand zugänglich sein, sind Aussparungen vorgesehen und zwar für jede Durchführung. Dadurch wird es dem Zapfen ermöglicht, in die jeweilige Durchführung eingebracht werden zu können.If a special design of the hinge, for example, when the rotary spindle is introduced into recordings of the toilet seat or the toilet lid, the bushings, when they are arranged on the rotary spindle, not be accessible when installed, recesses are provided for each implementation. This allows the pin to be introduced into the respective implementation can.

Das Verfahren zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Toilettensitzes und eines Toilettendeckels an der Toilettenschüssel mittels der vorgenannten Vorrichtung funktioniert dann so, dass zunächst zum Überführen der Vorrichtung in den Verbundzustand mindestens ein Sperrelement in jeweils eine Drehspindel durch die jeweilige Ausnehmung eingebracht wird. Falls Abdeckungen vorgesehen sind, müssen diese vorher entfernt werden, um den Zugang zur Ausnehmung zu ermöglichen. Anschließend wird das Sperrelement durch die Ausnehmung der jeweiligen Durchführung zugeführt. Das Sperrelement muss nun so ausgerichtet sein, dass es an der Position der jeweiligen Durchführung ausgerichtet ist, um das Eindringen eines Zapfens in die Durchführung zu ermöglichen.The method for releasably securing a toilet seat and a toilet lid to the toilet bowl by means of the aforementioned device then works so that at first for transferring the device in the composite state at least one blocking element is inserted into a respective rotary spindle through the respective recess. If covers provided must be removed beforehand to allow access to the recess. Subsequently, the blocking element is fed through the recess of the respective implementation. The locking element must now be aligned so that it is aligned at the position of the respective passage to allow the penetration of a pin in the implementation.

Bei Verwendung von Abdeckungen wird nun an jeder Ausnehmung eine Abdeckung angebracht, um die Sperrelemente in der Position zu halten.When using covers, a cover is now attached to each recess to hold the locking elements in position.

Der Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel wird nun auf die Träger aufgesetzt und zwar so, dass die Zapfen in die dafür vorgesehenen Durchführungen eingebracht werden. Bei diesem Einbringvorgang werden die in den Durchführungen befindlichen Sperrelemente soweit aufgeweitet, dass der jeweilige Zapfen durch die jeweilige Durchführung und somit dem jeweiligen Sperrelement durchgeführt werden kann. Bei der besonderen Ausführungsform des konisch zulaufenden Zapfens begünstigt der durch den konischen Zulauf beim Anbringen des Zapfens sich vergrößernde Radius des Zapfens das Einbringen desselben in die Durchführung bzw. des Sperrelementes und das Aufweiten des Sperrelementes.The toilet seat or toilet lid is now placed on the support in such a way that the pins are inserted into the openings provided for this purpose. In this introduction process, the locking elements located in the bushings are widened so far that the respective pin can be performed by the respective implementation and thus the respective blocking element. In the particular embodiment of the conically tapered pin favors by the conical inlet when attaching the pin-increasing radius of the pin, the introduction of the same in the implementation and the blocking element and the expansion of the blocking element.

Ist der Zapfen weit genug in die Durchführung eingebracht, tritt das jeweilige Sperrelement mit der Nut auf dem Zapfen in Wirkverbindung, sodass die Durchführung auf dem Zapfen gehalten wird bzw. der Zapfen in der Durchführung.If the pin is inserted far enough into the passage, the respective blocking element comes into operative connection with the groove on the pin, so that the bushing is held on the pin or the pin in the bushing.

Hiermit ist der Verbundzustand erreicht, in dem der Toilettensitz und/oder der Toilettendeckel lösbar an der Toilettenschüssel befestigt ist.Hereby, the composite state is reached, in which the toilet seat and / or the toilet lid is releasably attached to the toilet bowl.

Zur Überführung der Vorrichtung in den Lösezustand muss nun eine Kraft in Längsrichtung der Zapfen aufgebracht werden, was bedeutet, dass Toilettensitz bzw. Toilettendeckel von der Toilettenschüssel wegbewegt werden. Wird hierbei die Kraft, welche das Sperrelement in der Nut auf den Zapfen ausübt, überwunden, wird das Sperrelement wieder soweit aufgeweitet, dass das Sperrelement aus der Nut herausrutscht. Dann können die Zapfen aus den Durchführungen wieder herausgezogen werden. Dadurch wird der Lösezustand erreicht.To transfer the device into the release state, a force must now be applied in the longitudinal direction of the pins, which means that the toilet seat or toilet lid is moved away from the toilet bowl. If in this case the force which exerts the blocking element in the groove on the pin, overcome, the blocking element is again expanded so far that the Locking element slips out of the groove. Then the pins can be pulled out of the bushings again. As a result, the release state is achieved.

Nach Herausziehen der Zapfen aus den Durchführungen können bei Verwendung der Abdeckungen diese wieder von den Ausnehmungen entfernt werden und, falls nötig, die Sperrelemente über die Ausnehmungen aus den Durchführungen entfernt werden.After pulling the pins out of the bushings, when the covers are used, they can be removed again from the recesses and, if necessary, the blocking elements can be removed from the bushings via the recesses.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Träger 1 zu erkennen, mit einem Zapfen 11. Dieser Träger 1 wird in dieser Ausführungsform über eine Gewindestange an der Toilettenschüssel montiert, die auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Zapfens 11 sich befindet. Nach Montage des Trägers 1 an der Toilettenschüssel zeigt dieser Zapfen 11 somit von der Toilettenschüssel weg und ist dadurch befähigt, einen entsprechenden Toilettensitz 6 und/oder Toilettendeckel 7 aufzunehmen.In Fig. 1 a carrier 1 can be seen, with a pin 11. This carrier 1 is in this embodiment via a threaded rod on the Toilet bowl mounted, which is located on the opposite side of the pin 11 itself. After mounting the carrier 1 to the toilet bowl, this pin 11 thus points away from the toilet bowl and is thus able to receive a corresponding toilet seat 6 and / or toilet lid 7.

Der Zapfen 11 besitzt an dem Ende, das dem Träger 1 gegenüberliegt einen konischen Zulauf und an den konischen Zulauf anschließend eine Nut 12. Diese Nut 12 ist vom Durchmesser her kleiner als der übrige Teil des Zapfens 11, damit im eingebauten Zustand das Sperrelement 3 in die Nut 12 eingreifen kann und in der Nut 12 festgehalten wird.The pin 11 has at the end, which is opposite to the carrier 1, a conical inlet and the conical inlet then a groove 12. This groove 12 is smaller in diameter than the rest of the pin 11, so in the installed state, the locking element 3 in the groove 12 can engage and is held in the groove 12.

In dieser Ausführungsform ist eine Drehspindel 2 mit der Durchführung 21 versehen, in welcher bei Montage der Zapfen 11 aufgenommen wird. Deutlich zu erkennen ist die Ausnehmung 22, welche aus der Drehspindel 2 herausgeführt ist, um ein Sperrelement 3 in die Durchführung 21 einzupassen. Das Sperrelement 3 ist in dieser Ausführungsform eine Ringfeder, welche dann in die Ausnehmung 22 eingeführt werden kann und zwar soweit, dass der Innenraum des Sperrelementes 3 mit der Durchführung 21 übereinstimmt, damit bei Montage der Zapfen 11 durch die Durchführung 21 sowie das Sperrelement 3 hindurchgeführt werden kann. Damit das Sperrelement 3 nicht aus der Ausnehmung 22 wieder herausrutscht, ist eine Abdeckung 4 vorgesehen, welche mittels Rastnasen auf die Drehspindel 2 aufgesetzt wird, um die Ausnehmung 22 abzudecken. Die Rastnasen greifen hierbei in dafür vorgesehene Vertiefungen in der Drehspindel 2 ein.In this embodiment, a rotary spindle 2 is provided with the passage 21, in which the pin 11 is received during assembly. Clearly visible is the recess 22 which is led out of the rotary spindle 2 to fit a blocking element 3 in the passage 21. The blocking element 3 is in this embodiment, an annular spring, which can then be inserted into the recess 22 and to the extent that the interior of the locking element 3 with the passage 21 matches, so when mounting the pin 11 passed through the passage 21 and the blocking element 3 can be. So that the blocking element 3 does not slip out of the recess 22 again, a cover 4 is provided, which is placed on the rotary spindle 2 by means of latching lugs in order to cover the recess 22. The detents engage in this case in designated recesses in the rotary spindle 2 a.

Wird nun die mit dem Sperrelement 3 versehene Drehspindel 2 auf den Zapfen 11 aufgesetzt bzw. der Zapfen 11 in die Durchführung 21 der Drehspindel 2 eingeführt, weitet man bei der Durchführung zunächst das Sperrelement 3 durch den konischen Zulauf des Zapfens 11 auf. Um dies zu ermöglichen, muss das Sperrelement 3 einen kleineren Innenradius haben als der Zapfen 11 an der weitesten Stelle.If the rotary spindle 2 provided with the blocking element 3 is then placed on the journal 11 or the journal 11 is inserted into the leadthrough 21 of the rotary spindle 2, the blocking element 3 is expanded by the conical inlet of the journal 11 during the passage. To make this possible, the locking element 3 must have a smaller inner radius than the pin 11 at the widest point.

Beim weiteren Einschieben des Zapfens 11 durch die Durchführung 21 rutscht das Sperrelement 3 nun in die Nut 12. Da die Nut 12 nun wieder einen kleinen Radius hat als der Rest des Zapfens 11, tritt das Sperrelement 2 in Wirkverbindung mit der Nut 12 und hält somit die Drehspindel 2 auf dem Zapfen 11 in Position.Upon further insertion of the pin 11 through the passage 21, the locking element 3 now slips into the groove 12. Since the groove 12 again has a small radius than the rest of the pin 11, the locking element 2 enters into operative connection with the groove 12 and thus holds the rotary spindle 2 on the pin 11 in position.

Die so montierte Drehspindel 2 auf dem Zapfen 11 ist in Fig. 2 zu sehen. Das Sperrelement 3, in diesem Fall eine Ringfeder, ist in Wirkverbindung mit der Nut 12. Damit beim Einführen des Zapfens 11 das Sperrelement 3 aufgeweitet werden kann, ist dafür zu sorgen, dass genügend Aufweitungsraum in der Ausnehmung 22 für das Sperrelement 3 vorgesehen ist.The thus mounted rotary spindle 2 on the pin 11 is in Fig. 2 to see. The blocking element 3, in this case an annular spring, is in operative connection with the groove 12. In order to expand the blocking element 3 when inserting the pin 11, it is necessary to ensure that sufficient expansion space is provided in the recess 22 for the blocking element 3.

Ebenfalls zu sehen ist die montierte Abdeckung 4, welche die Ausnehmung 22 nach außen hin abschließt. Die Drehspindel 2 ist nunmehr auf den Zapfen 11 und somit auf den Träger 1 aufgesetzt und hält sich in Position.Also visible is the mounted cover 4, which closes the recess 22 to the outside. The rotary spindle 2 is now placed on the pin 11 and thus on the carrier 1 and holds in position.

In dieser Ausführungsform sind zur Montage eines Toilettensitzes 6 sowie eines Toilettendeckels 7 zwei solcher Drehspindeln 2 vorgesehen. Eine solche Montage ist als Explosionszeichnung in Fig. 3 gezeigt. Der Toilettensitz 6 besitzt hier Aufnahmen 61, für die beiden Drehspindeln 2. Nach Montage der Drehspindeln 2 aus Fig. 1 mit Sperrelement 3 und Abdeckung 4 werden diese in die Aufnahmen 61 gesteckt. In dieser Ausführungsform fungieren die Drehspindeln 2 gleichzeitig als Gelenkachse für Toilettensitz 6 und Toilettendeckel 7. Damit dies funktioniert sind ebenfalls Aufnahmen am Toilettendeckel 7 vorgesehen, welche dann teilweise über die Drehspindeln 2 ragen. Der übrige Teil der Drehspindeln 2 ist in den Aufnahmen 61 des Toilettensitzes 6 eingebracht.In this embodiment, two such rotary spindles 2 are provided for mounting a toilet seat 6 and a toilet lid 7. Such an assembly is as an exploded view in Fig. 3 shown. The toilet seat 6 has here recordings 61, for the two rotary spindles 2. After mounting the rotary spindles 2 off Fig. 1 with blocking element 3 and cover 4, these are inserted into the receptacles 61. In this embodiment, the rotary spindles 2 act simultaneously as a hinge axis for toilet seat 6 and toilet lid 7. This works are also recordings on the toilet lid 7 are provided, which then partially protrude over the rotary spindles 2. The remaining part of the rotary spindles 2 is introduced into the receptacles 61 of the toilet seat 6.

Damit diese Montage funktioniert und die Drehspindeln 2 in ihrer Position gehalten werden, sind Federn 5 vorgesehen, welche nach Montage der Drehspindeln im Toilettensitz 6 bzw. Toilettendeckel 7 die Drehspindeln 2 nach außen drücken und somit in ihrer Position halb in den Aufnahmen von Toilettendeckel 7 und halb in den Aufnahmen 61 des Toilettensitzes 6 gehalten werden.So that this assembly works and the spindles 2 are held in position, springs 5 are provided, which press the rotary spindles 2 outwards after installation of the rotating spindles in the toilet seat 6 or toilet lid 7 and thus in their position half in the recordings Toilet lid 7 and half held in the receptacles 61 of the toilet seat 6.

Bei Einbringen der Drehspindeln in die entsprechenden Aufnahmen 61 wird deshalb zuerst die Feder 5 eingebracht und dann die mit Sperrelement 3 und Abdeckung 4 versehenen Drehspindeln 2. Entgegen der Federkraft 5 können die Drehspindeln nun soweit in die Aufnahmen 61 eingedrückt werden, dass der Toilettendeckel 7 mit seinen Aufnahmen für die Drehspindel 2 darüber positioniert werden kann. Der Toilettendeckel 7 muss so positioniert werden, dass der Innenraum der Aufnahmen eine Achse bildet mit dem Innenraum der Aufnahme 61 des Toilettensitzes 6. Sobald dies der Fall ist, drücken die Federn 5 die entsprechenden Drehspindeln 2 nach außen in die Aufnahmen des Toilettendeckels 7. Toilettensitz 6 und Toilettendeckel 7 sind dann zusammen montiert und sind klappbar um die Achsen der Drehspindeln 2.When introducing the rotary spindles into the corresponding receptacles 61, therefore, first the spring 5 is introduced and then provided with locking element 3 and cover 4 rotary spindles. Contrary to the spring force 5, the rotary spindles can now be pushed so far into the receptacles 61 that the toilet lid 7 with his recordings for the rotary spindle 2 can be positioned over it. The toilet lid 7 must be positioned so that the interior of the receptacles forms an axis with the interior of the receptacle 61 of the toilet seat 6. Once this is the case, push the springs 5, the corresponding rotary spindles 2 outwardly into the receptacles of the toilet lid 7. toilet seat 6 and toilet lid 7 are then mounted together and are hinged about the axes of the rotary spindles. 2

Um ggf. eine Dämpfung beim Klappen des Toilettensitzes 6 bzw. des Toilettendeckels 7 zu gewährleisten, kann eine Dämpfung in die Drehspindel 2 eingebaut sein. Die Drehspindel 2 hat dabei selbst eine Drehachse und ist aus zwei Teilen aufgebaut, die gegeneinander drehbar sind. Der eine Teil, welcher in die Aufnahmen des Toilettendeckels 7 eingebracht wird, besitzt dabei ein Profil, welches mit der Form der Aufnahmen des Toilettendeckels 7 übereinstimmt, sodass in der Aufnahme der Teil der Drehspindel sich nicht um seine Achse bewegen kann und somit ortsfest ist. Der andere Teil der Drehspindel 2 ist gegenüber diesem ersten Teil drehbar. Eine entsprechende Dämpfung ist dann in die Drehspindel 2 eingebracht.In order to ensure a damping when folding the toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7, if necessary, a damping in the rotary spindle 2 can be installed. The rotary spindle 2 itself has an axis of rotation and is composed of two parts which are rotatable relative to each other. The one part which is introduced into the receptacles of the toilet lid 7, it has a profile which coincides with the shape of the receptacles of the toilet lid 7, so that in the recording of the part of the rotary spindle can not move about its axis and thus is stationary. The other part of the rotary spindle 2 is rotatable relative to this first part. A corresponding damping is then introduced into the rotary spindle 2.

Da beim Klappen des Toilettendeckels 7 dann die Drehspindel 2 um ihre Achse verdreht wird, greift die in der Drehspindel 2 befindlich Dämpfung und dämpft die Klappbewegung von Toilettensitz 6 bzw. Toilettendeckel 7.Since when turning the toilet lid 7 then the rotary spindle 2 is rotated about its axis, engages in the rotary spindle 2 located damping and dampens the folding movement of toilet seat 6 and toilet lid. 7

Damit die Zapfen 11 in die Durchführungen 21 der Drehspindeln 2 eingreifen können, sind im Toilettensitz 6 Aussparungen 62 vorgesehen und zwar auf der gleichen Höhe wie im montierten Zustand die Durchführungen 21 in der Drehspindel 2 positioniert sind. Somit wird bei Montage des Toilettensitzes 6 bzw. des Toilettendeckels 7 der Zapfen 11 zunächst in die Aussparung 62 eingeführt, danach in die Durchführung 21 der Drehspindel 2. Bei dieser Einführung des Zapfens 11 in die Durchführung 21 der Drehspindel 2 greifen, wie bereits beschrieben, die Sperrelemente 3 in die Nuten 12 der Zapfen 11 ein. Toilettensitz 6 bzw. Toilettendeckel 7 werden dadurch in Position gehalten und erreichen den Verbundzustand.Thus, the pins 11 can engage in the passages 21 of the rotary spindles 2, 6 recesses 62 are provided in the toilet seat and that at the same height as in the assembled state, the bushings 21 in the Spindle 2 are positioned. Thus, when mounting the toilet seat 6 or the toilet lid 7, the pin 11 is first inserted into the recess 62, then into the passage 21 of the rotary spindle 2. In this insertion of the pin 11 in the lead-through 21 of the rotary spindle 2, as already described, the locking elements 3 in the grooves 12 of the pin 11 a. Toilet seat 6 or toilet lid 7 are thereby held in position and reach the composite state.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 4 hat die umgekehrte Funktionsweise wie das Ausführungsbeispiel aus Fig. 1. Hierbei besitzt der Träger 1 die Durchführung 21 und der Zapfen 11 ist an der Drehspindel 2 angebracht. Die Drehspindel 2 selbst ist hierbei Teil eines externen Scharniers, welches über die beiden gezeigten Montageflächen an Toilettensitz 6 und Toilettendeckel 7 geschraubt wird. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsart kann eine Dämpfung in der Drehspindel vorgesehen sein, da die beiden äußeren Teile mit den Montageflächen gegenüber der Drehspindel 2 in einer Achse verdreht werden können. In dieser Achse kann dann die Dämpfung vorgesehen sein, um die Klappbewegung von dem montierten Toilettensitz 6 und dem Toilettendeckel 7 zu gewährleisten.The embodiment in Fig. 4 has the reverse operation as the embodiment of Fig. 1 , Here, the carrier 1 has the passage 21 and the pin 11 is attached to the rotary spindle 2. The rotary spindle 2 itself is part of an external hinge, which is screwed over the two mounting surfaces shown toilet seat 6 and toilet lid 7. In this embodiment, a damping in the rotary spindle may be provided, since the two outer parts can be rotated with the mounting surfaces relative to the rotary spindle 2 in one axis. In this axis then the damping can be provided to ensure the folding movement of the mounted toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7.

Wie in Fig. 1 wird ein Sperrelement 3 durch die Ausnehmung 22 der Durchführung 21 zugeführt. Auch hier ist das Sperrelement 3 als Ringfeder dargestellt. In dieser Ausführungsform ist deutlich zu erkennen, dass das Sperrelement 3 eine Nase besitzt, welche beim Einführen in die Ausnehmung 22 in eine entsprechende Auslassung eingreift. Dies ist dafür da, dass Sperrelement 3 sich nicht verdreht und in der Ausnehmung 22 besser in der Durchführung 21 positioniert werden kann.As in Fig. 1 a blocking element 3 is fed through the recess 22 of the bushing 21. Again, the blocking element 3 is shown as a ring spring. In this embodiment, it can be clearly seen that the blocking element 3 has a nose, which engages in a corresponding omission when inserted into the recess 22. This is because blocking element 3 can not be twisted and can be positioned better in the passage 21 in the recess 22.

Die Abdeckung 4 wird in dieser Ausführungsform über den Träger 1 gesetzt, sodass die Ausnehmung 22 verdeckt ist und das Sperrelement 3 nicht aus der Ausnehmung 22 herausrutschen kann. Die Abdeckung 4 besitzt hier ein Loch, damit beim Anbringen der Abdeckung die Durchführung 21 nicht verdeckt wird.The cover 4 is placed over the carrier 1 in this embodiment, so that the recess 22 is concealed and the blocking element 3 can not slip out of the recess 22. The cover 4 has a hole here, so that the application 21 is not obscured when attaching the cover.

Der Zapfen 11, welcher an der Drehspindel 2 angebracht ist, besitzt ebenfalls eine Nut 12 und nach außen hin einen konischen Zulauf. Die Montage ist damit die gleiche, wie bei der Ausführungsform in Fig. 1, ist jedoch in ihrer Ausführung als kinematische Umkehr zu der Ausführungsform der Ausführungsform in Fig. 1 zu betrachten. Nach Einführen des Zapfens 11 in die Durchführung 21 rutscht das Sperrelement 3 in die dafür vorgesehene Nut 12 am Zapfen 11 und hält das Scharnier und damit den Toilettensitz 6 sowie Toilettendeckel 7 in Position.The pin 11, which is attached to the rotary spindle 2, also has a groove 12 and outwardly a conical inlet. The assembly is thus the same as in the embodiment in Fig. 1 however, is in its implementation as a kinematic reversal to the embodiment of the embodiment in FIG Fig. 1 consider. After insertion of the pin 11 in the passage 21, the locking element 3 slides into the groove 12 provided on the pin 11 and holds the hinge and thus the toilet seat 6 and toilet lid 7 in position.

Der montierte Zustand des Ausführungsbeispieles aus Fig. 4 ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Auch hier ist deutlich zu erkennen, wie im Verbundzustand das Sperrelement 3 in die Nut 12 eingreift und den Zapfen 11 und somit Toilettensitz 6 und Toilettendeckel 7 in Position hält.The assembled state of the embodiment of Fig. 4 is in Fig. 5 shown. Again, it can be clearly seen how in the composite state, the locking element 3 engages in the groove 12 and the pin 11 and thus toilet seat 6 and toilet lid 7 holds in position.

Fig. 6 zeigt noch einmal als Explosionszeichnung den an das Scharnier montierten Toilettensitz 6 sowie den Toilettendeckel 7. Auch hier wird das Sperrelement 3 zunächst durch die Ausnehmung 22 in der Durchführung 21 positioniert und mit der Abdeckung 4 versehen. Danach werden Toilettensitz 6 sowie Toilettendeckel 7 über die Zapfen 11 in die Durchführung 21 eingeführt, wobei die Sperrelemente 3 über den konischen Zulauf des Zapfens 11 aufgeweitet werden und Wirkverbindung mit der dahinterliegenden Nut 12 treten. Dadurch werden im Verbundzustand der Toilettensitz 6 sowie der Toilettendeckel 7 in Position gehalten. Fig. 6 shows once again as an exploded view of the mounted on the hinge toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7. Again, the blocking element 3 is first positioned by the recess 22 in the passage 21 and provided with the cover 4. Thereafter toilet seat 6 and toilet lid 7 are inserted via the pins 11 in the passage 21, wherein the locking elements 3 are widened over the conical inlet of the pin 11 and enter into operative connection with the underlying groove 12. As a result, the toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7 are held in position in the composite state.

In allen gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen funktioniert die Demontage, also das Überführen der Vorrichtung aus dem Verbundzustand in den Lösezustand, dadurch, dass Toilettensitz 6 bzw. Toilettendeckel 7 von der Toilettenschüssel weggezogen wird und zwar mit einer Kraft, die größer sein muss als die Kraft, die das Sperrelement 3 in Wirkverbindung mit der Nut 12 hält. Durch Aufwendung einer solchen Kraft wird das Sperrelement 3 soweit aufgeweitet, dass es sich aus der Wirkverbindung der Nut 12 löst und der Zapfen 11 wieder aus dem Sperrelement 3 und der Durchführung 21 herausgezogen werden kann. Danach befindet sich die Vorrichtung im Lösezustand. Durch diese einfache Anbringung von Toilettensitz 6 bzw. Toilettendeckel 7 an der Toilettenschüssel kann, ohne Hilfe eines Werkzeuges und ohne Betätigung eines Knopfes, Tasters oder ähnlichem Element jederzeit der Toilettensitz 6 bzw. der Toilettendeckel 7 von der Toilettenschüssel entfernt und wieder aufgebracht werden. Ebenso hat man dafür beide Hände zur Verfügung.In all the embodiments shown, the dismantling, ie the transfer of the device from the composite state to the release state works by the toilet seat 6 or toilet lid 7 is pulled away from the toilet bowl with a force that must be greater than the force that the Locking element 3 holds in operative connection with the groove 12. By applying such a force, the blocking element 3 is widened so far that it is released from the operative connection of the groove 12 and the pin 11 can be pulled out of the blocking element 3 and the bushing 21 again. Thereafter, the device is in the release state. By this simple Attachment of toilet seat 6 or toilet lid 7 to the toilet bowl can, without the aid of a tool and without pressing a button, button or similar element at any time the toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7 are removed from the toilet bowl and reapplied. Likewise, one has both hands available for it.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die obengenannten Merkmale beschränkt. Vielmehr sind weitere Ausführungsformen denkbar. So kann das Sperrelement beispielsweise statt einer Ringfeder auch ein Sprengring oder eine anders geartete Feder sein. Ebenso ist es denkbar, dass die Feder bereits in der Vorrichtung eingebracht ist und nicht nach außen herausführbar gestaltet ist. Abgesehen von den beiden gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen ist es auch denkbar, dass eine Kombination aus beiden Ausführungsformen realisiert wird, d. h., einige Zapfen befinden sich an Drehspindeln und andere an dem Träger. Dementsprechend entgegengesetzt müssen natürlich genauso viele Durchführungen an den Drehspindeln sowie dem Träger vorgesehen sein.The invention is not limited to the above-mentioned features. Rather, further embodiments are conceivable. For example, instead of an annular spring, the blocking element can also be a snap ring or a spring of a different type. Likewise, it is conceivable that the spring is already introduced in the device and is not designed to be guided outwards. Apart from the two embodiments shown, it is also conceivable that a combination of both embodiments is realized, ie, some pins are located on rotary spindles and others on the carrier. Accordingly, of course, just as many feedthroughs must be provided on the rotating spindles and the carrier.
