Description

1. Le domaine de l'invention1. The field of the invention

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des sanitaires, en particulier celui des toilettes. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne la solidarisation entre le bouton de commande d'un mécanisme de chasse d'eau pour toilettes et le couvercle du réservoir des toilettes.The field of the invention is that of sanitary, particularly that of toilets. More specifically, the invention relates to the connection between the control knob of a toilet flush mechanism and the lid of the toilet tank.

2. Solutions de l'art antérieur2. Solutions of the prior art

Les toilettes comportent généralement soit un couvercle de réservoir en plastique de faible épaisseur, soit un couvercle de réservoir en céramique d'épaisseur plus importante.The toilets usually have either a thin plastic tank lid or a thicker ceramic tank lid.

Par ailleurs, pour permettre le passage et la solidarisation du bouton de commande de la chasse d'eau, le couvercle présente, généralement sensiblement en son centre, une ouverture.Furthermore, to allow the passage and the attachment of the control button of the flush, the cover has, generally substantially in its center, an opening.

Actuellement, les couvercles ont une ouverture qui, lorsqu'elle est circulaire, présente un diamètre généralement proche de 14 mm, de 40 mm ou bien de 50 mm.Currently, the lids have an opening which, when circular, has a diameter generally close to 14 mm, 40 mm or 50 mm.

Pour permettre l'adaptation du bouton de commande à différents types de couvercle (différences d'épaisseurs, différences de diamètre ou d'ouverture), il est usuel de fournir avec les différents éléments du bouton de commande, deux bagues d'adaptation, permettant l'adaptation du bouton de commande à l'aide d'une des bagues, en fonction du diamètre d'ouverture du couvercle et/ou de l'épaisseur du couvercle.To allow the adaptation of the control button to different types of cover (differences in thickness, differences in diameter or opening), it is usual to provide with the different elements of the control button, two adapter rings, allowing adjusting the control knob with one of the rings, depending on the opening diameter of the lid and / or the thickness of the lid.

La bague adaptée à un diamètre d'ouverture de 14 mm est généralement de forme conique. Ce type de bague peut également servir pour un diamètre d'ouverture de 40 mm lorsque le couvercle est en matière plastique, de faible épaisseur.The ring with an opening diameter of 14 mm is generally conical. This type of ring can also be used for an opening diameter of 40 mm when the lid is plastic, thin.

La bague adaptée à un couvercle ayant une ouverture de diamètre 50 mm forme généralement, quant à elle, une couronne plate permettant d'agrandir le diamètre du bouton de commande qui est légèrement inférieur à 40 mm.The ring adapted to a lid having an opening of diameter 50 mm generally forms, for its part, a flat crown making it possible to enlarge the diameter of the control knob that is slightly less than 40 mm.

Un inconvénient d'un tel système est qu'il augmente le coût global du bouton de commande puisqu'il est nécessaire de fournir deux bagues d'adaptation pour que l'installateur en trouve toujours une qui convienne pour le couvercle du réservoir des toilettes.A disadvantage of such a system is that it increases the overall cost of the control button since it is necessary to provide two adapter rings so that the installer always finds one suitable for the lid of the toilet tank.

Un autre inconvénient est qu'une seule des bagues d'adaptation est utilisée, tandis que l'autre reste inutilisée, ce qui constitue un déchet supplémentaire, peu écologique.Another disadvantage is that only one of the adapter rings is used, while the other remains unused, which is an additional waste, unecological.

3. Objectifs de l'invention3. Objectives of the invention

L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier tout ou partie de ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The invention particularly aims to overcome all or part of these disadvantages of the prior art.

Plus précisément, un objectif de l'invention est de fournir un bouton de commande dont toutes les pièces constitutives sont utilisées pour l'installation du bouton de commande de chasse d'eau dans des toilettes.More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide a control button of which all the component parts are used for the installation of the flush control button in a toilet.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un bouton de commande qui soit adaptable sur un couvercle de réservoir d'eau de toilettes, quel que soit le matériau constitutif du couvercle et/ou quel que soit le diamètre de l'ouverture réalisée dans le couvercle pour le passage du bouton de commande.Another object of the invention is to provide a control button that is adaptable to a toilet tank lid, regardless of the material constituting the lid and / or whatever the diameter of the opening made in the cover for the passage of the control button.

Tout ou partie de ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront plus clairement par la suite sont atteints par l'invention à l'aide un bouton de commande pour mécanisme de chasse d'eau de toilettes, le bouton de commande étant configuré pour coopérer avec une ouverture d'un couvercle de réservoir de toilettes, le bouton de commande comprenant :

  • au moins un poussoir, notamment deux poussoirs, par exemple un poussoir de grande chasse et un poussoir de petite chasse ;
  • un corps logeant ledit au moins un poussoir et comprenant un pied destiné à s'étendre selon un axe longitudinal ;
  • un écrou destiné à coopérer avec le pied pour le maintien du bouton de commande sur le couvercle ;
All or some of these objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly later are achieved by the invention using a control button for toilet flushing mechanism, the control button being configured to cooperating with an opening of a toilet tank lid, the control knob comprising:
  • at least one pusher, including two pushers, for example a big hunting pusher and a small hunting pusher;
  • a body housing said at least one pusher and comprising a foot intended to extend along a longitudinal axis;
  • a nut intended to cooperate with the foot for holding the control button on the cover;

Selon l'invention, le bouton de commande se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend une unique bague d'adaptation configurée de telle sorte qu'un même bouton de commande puisse coopérer, par changement de positionnement de la bague d'adaptation, avec au moins trois ouvertures de diamètres différents.According to the invention, the control button is characterized in that it comprises a single adapter ring configured so that a same control button can cooperate, by changing the positioning of the adapter ring, with the minus three openings of different diameters.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, il n'est pas nécessaire de multiplier le nombre de bagues d'adaptation, ni même d'en fournir deux, une seule suffisant pour s'adapter à différents types de couvercle.Thus, thanks to the invention, it is not necessary to multiply the number of adapter rings, or even to provide two, one sufficient to adapt to different types of cover.

En effet, la forme et les dimensions de la bague d'adaptation sont choisies de manière à permettre que cette bague d'adaptation soit adaptable à différents types d'ouvertures de couvercle de réservoir.Indeed, the shape and the dimensions of the adapter ring are chosen so as to allow this adapter ring to be adaptable to different types of tank lid openings.

La bague d'adaptation peut également être configurée de telle sorte que le bouton de commande peut s'adapter à des couvercles d'épaisseurs différentes, notamment à un couvercle en céramique d'épaisseur importante et à un couvercle en matériau plastique d'épaisseur faible.The adapter ring can also be configured so that the control knob can accommodate different thicknesses of lids, including a thick ceramic cover and a low-thickness plastic cover. .

Ainsi, le bouton de commande peut comprendre, selon l'invention, une unique bague d'adaptation configurée de telle sorte qu'un même bouton de commande puisse coopérer, par changement éventuel de positionnement de la bague d'adaptation, avec des épaisseurs différentes de couvercle de réservoir de toilettes, notamment avec une épaisseur faible, par exemple d'environ 2 mm, d'un couvercle en matériau plastique et une épaisseur importante, par exemple d'environ 20 mm, d'un couvercle en matériau céramique.Thus, the control button may comprise, according to the invention, a single adapter ring configured so that a same control button can cooperate, by possible change in positioning of the adapter ring, with different thicknesses. of a toilet tank lid, in particular with a small thickness, for example about 2 mm, a cover made of plastic material and a large thickness, for example about 20 mm, with a cover made of ceramic material.

Il est à noter que la « bague d'adaptation » désigne un élément du bouton de commande qui permet de faire coopérer le poussoir ainsi que le corps avec l'ouverture pratiquée dans le couvercle du réservoir des toilettes. L'écrou coopère avec une partie du bouton de commande, notamment le pied du corps pour le maintien du bouton de commande en place sur le couvercle.It should be noted that the "adapter ring" designates an element of the control knob that allows the pusher and the body to cooperate with the opening in the lid of the toilet tank. The nut cooperates with a portion of the control button, including the foot of the body for holding the control button in place on the lid.

La bague d'adaptation peut présenter par exemple une partie centrale cylindrique s'étendant entre une première extrémité formant une collerette circulaire extérieure, notamment sensiblement perpendiculaire à la partie centrale cylindrique, et une deuxième extrémité formant un épaulement circulaire vers l'intérieur de la partie centrale cylindrique, notamment sensiblement perpendiculaire à la partie centrale cylindrique de la bague.The adapter ring may for example have a central cylindrical portion extending between a first end forming a collar outer circular, in particular substantially perpendicular to the central cylindrical portion, and a second end forming a circular shoulder towards the inside of the central cylindrical portion, in particular substantially perpendicular to the central cylindrical portion of the ring.

Une telle forme de bague d'adaptation permet de convenir à différentes dimensions de l'ouverture réalisée dans le couvercle ou à différentes épaisseurs du couvercle avec le corps du bouton de commande, ou le pied du corps ou l'écrou, en modifiant le cas échéant le positionnement de la bague pour permettre de répondre aux différentes configurations (dimensions d'ouverture, différentes épaisseurs).Such a form of adapter ring makes it possible to suit different dimensions of the opening made in the lid or at different thicknesses of the lid with the body of the control knob, or the foot of the body or the nut, by modifying the case appropriate positioning of the ring to allow to respond to different configurations (opening dimensions, different thicknesses).

En particulier, la bague d'adaptation peut présenter des dimensions telles que le bouton de commande peut s'adapter à un couvercle de réservoir de toilettes présentant une ouverture de diamètre d'environ 14, 40 ou 50 mm.In particular, the adapter ring may have dimensions such that the control knob can adapt to a toilet tank lid having an opening diameter of about 14, 40 or 50 mm.

Ces dimensions sont adaptées aux standards actuels des diamètres d'ouverture de couvercle (14, 40 ou 50 mm de diamètre) et peuvent le cas échéant être modifiées en fonction des modifications de standards éventuels.These dimensions are adapted to the current standards of the lid opening diameters (14, 40 or 50 mm in diameter) and can, if necessary, be modified as a result of possible standard changes.

La collerette de la bague d'adaptation peut présenter un diamètre supérieur à celui de l'ouverture, quel que soit le diamètre de l'ouverture, notamment supérieur à 50 mm.The collar of the adapter ring may have a diameter greater than that of the opening, whatever the diameter of the opening, especially greater than 50 mm.

L'écrou peut être plat.The nut can be flat.

Alternativement, l'écrou peut présenter une section longitudinale sensiblement en forme de U. L'utilisation d'un tel écrou peut permettre, par exemple en coopération avec la bague d'adaptation, la fixation d'un bouton de commande dont le corps traverse l'ouverture du couvercle de réservoir de toilettes et dépasse inférieurement du couvercle.Alternatively, the nut may have a longitudinal section substantially U-shaped. The use of such a nut may allow, for example in cooperation with the adapter ring, the attachment of a control button whose body passes through. opening of the toilet tank lid and protruding below the lid.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la bague d'adaptation est configurée pour habiller, sur le couvercle, le corps du bouton de commande pour un petit diamètre d'ouverture, notamment égal à environ 14 mm.In a particular embodiment, the adapter ring is configured to dress on the cover, the body of the control button for a small opening diameter, in particular equal to about 14 mm.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la bague d'adaptation est configurée pour coopérer sous le couvercle avec l'écrou, notamment plat, pour permettre la fixation du bouton de commande sur un couvercle d'ouverture de diamètre moyen, notamment de diamètre 40 mm, et de faible épaisseur.In a particular embodiment, the adapter ring is configured to cooperate under the cover with the nut, in particular flat, for allow the attachment of the control button on a medium diameter opening cover, in particular of diameter 40 mm, and of small thickness.

Dans un mode de réalisation, la bague d'adaptation est apte à coopérer avec l'ouverture de grand diamètre, notamment 50 mm, d'un couvercle, en traversant ladite ouverture.In one embodiment, the adapter ring is adapted to cooperate with the large diameter opening, in particular 50 mm, a cover, through said opening.

Ces différents modes de réalisation peuvent être mis en oeuvre par la même bague d'adaptation, dont la forme peut être telle que décrite plus haut.These different embodiments can be implemented by the same adapter ring, the shape of which may be as described above.

L'invention a encore pour objet, en combinaison avec ce qui précède, un ensemble d'un couvercle de réservoir de toilettes et d'un bouton de commande tel que défini plus haut, dans lequel une unique bague d'adaptation permet l'adaptation du bouton de commande sur le couvercle quelle que soit l'ouverture présente dans le couvercle parmi au moins trois ouvertures de diamètres différents et/ou quelle que soit l'épaisseur du couvercle, notamment une épaisseur de matière plastique ou une épaisseur de matière céramique ou encore de bois.The subject of the invention is also, in combination with the foregoing, an assembly of a toilet tank lid and a control knob as defined above, in which a single adapter ring makes it possible to adapt of the control knob on the lid regardless of the opening in the lid of at least three openings of different diameters and / or regardless of the thickness of the lid, in particular a thickness of plastic or a thickness of ceramic material or still of wood.

La bague d'adaptation, l'écrou et les autres pièces de l'ensemble peuvent être tels qu'exposés précédemment.The adapter ring, the nut and the other parts of the assembly may be as previously described.

5. Description d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention5. Description of an embodiment of the invention

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un bouton de commande 1, conforme à l'invention, pour mécanisme de chasse d'eau de toilettes, ce bouton de commande 1 étant configuré pour coopérer avec une ouverture 2 d'un couvercle 3 de réservoir de toilettes. Le réservoir, le mécanisme de chasse d'eau et les toilettes ne sont pas représentés et sont connus en eux-mêmes.We have shown on the figure 1 a control button 1, according to the invention, for toilet flushing mechanism, this control button 1 being configured to cooperate with an opening 2 of a lid 3 toilet tank. The tank, the flush mechanism and the toilet are not shown and are known in themselves.

Le couvercle 3 comporte une face supérieure 11 et une face inférieure 12, la face supérieure 11 étant une face visible pour un utilisateur, tandis que la face inférieure 12 correspond à la paroi intérieure et supérieure du réservoir de toilettes.The lid 3 has an upper face 11 and a lower face 12, the upper face 11 being a visible face for a user, while the lower face 12 corresponds to the inner and upper wall of the toilet tank.

Le bouton de commande 1 comprend au moins un poussoir, dans cet exemple deux poussoirs 4 et 5. Le poussoir 4 est un poussoir de petite chasse, sa course étant entravée par une butée 9 présente dans cet exemple à mi-hauteur environ de sa course, de manière connue en soi. Le poussoir 5 est un poussoir de grande chasse dont la course peut être mise en oeuvre sur toute la hauteur de débattement.The control knob 1 comprises at least one pusher, in this example two pushers 4 and 5. The pusher 4 is a small hunting push, its stroke being hampered by a stop 9 present in this example at about half height of its stroke , in a manner known per se. The pusher 5 is a big hunting pusher whose stroke can be implemented over the entire height of travel.

Le bouton de commande comporte en outre un corps 7, logeant les poussoirs 4 et 5 et comprenant un pied 8, fileté dans cet exemple. Le pied 8 s'étend selon l'axe longitudinal X, vertical dans cet exemple comme visible.The control knob further comprises a body 7, housing the pushers 4 and 5 and comprising a foot 8, threaded in this example. The foot 8 extends along the longitudinal axis X, vertical in this example as visible.

Le bouton de commande 1 comporte en outre un écrou 10, taraudé dans cet exemple, de manière à coopérer avec le pied 8 d'une part, et avec le couvercle 3 sur sa face inférieure 12 d'autre part, de manière à maintenir serré l'ensemble du bouton de commande 1 en place sur le couvercle 3, avantageusement sans jeu.The control knob 1 further comprises a nut 10, threaded in this example, so as to cooperate with the foot 8 on the one hand, and with the cover 3 on its lower face 12 on the other hand, so as to maintain tight the entire control knob 1 in place on the lid 3, preferably without play.

Dans cet exemple également, le bouton de commande 1 comporte une couronne 15 s'étendant de manière circonférentielle autour des poussoirs 4 et 5. Cette couronne a essentiellement un rôle d'habillage et peut permettre en particulier de limiter le nombre de parties à chromer.In this example also, the control button 1 comprises a ring 15 extending circumferentially around the pushers 4 and 5. This ring has essentially a dressing role and can in particular to limit the number of parts to be chromed.

Selon l'invention, le bouton de commande 1 comprend une bague d'adaptation 16 configurée de telle sorte qu'un même bouton de commande 1 puisse coopérer avec au moins trois ouvertures de diamètres différents, par changement de positionnement de la bague d'adaptation 16.According to the invention, the control button 1 comprises an adaptation ring 16 configured so that a same control button 1 can cooperate with at least three openings of different diameters, by changing the positioning of the adapter ring. 16.

La bague d'adaptation 16 présente dans cet exemple une partie centrale cylindrique 17, s'étendant entre une première extrémité formant une collerette 18 circulaire extérieure et une deuxième extrémité formant un épaulement 19 circulaire vers l'intérieur de la partie centrale cylindrique 17. La collerette 18 est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la partie centrale cylindrique 17, de même que l'épaulement 19 circulaire. L'épaulement 19 circulaire présente une extrémité 20 intérieure, libre, comme visible sur la figure 1.In this example, the adapter ring 16 has a cylindrical central portion 17 extending between a first end forming an outer circular collar 18 and a second end forming a circular shoulder 19 towards the inside of the cylindrical central portion 17. flange 18 is substantially perpendicular to the central cylindrical portion 17, as well as the shoulder 19 circular. The circular shoulder 19 has an inside end, free, as visible on the figure 1 .

Dans cet exemple visible sur les figures 1 et 2, la bague d'adaptation 16 est située sur la face supérieure 11 du couvercle 3. Dans cet exemple, la bague d'adaptation 16 est positionnée de telle sorte que la collerette 18 soit en contact avec la face supérieure 11 du couvercle tandis qu'une extrémité interne 20 de l'épaulement 19 est sensiblement en contact avec le corps 7 du bouton de commande.In this visible example on Figures 1 and 2 , the adapter ring 16 is located on the upper face 11 of the cover 3. In this example, the adapter ring 16 is positioned so that the flange 18 is in contact with the upper face 11 of the lid while an inner end 20 of the shoulder 19 is substantially in contact with the body 7 of the control button.

Dans cet exemple, l'ouverture 2 du couvercle 3 est une ouverture de petit diamètre, égale à 14 mm, et permet juste le passage du pied 8.In this example, the opening 2 of the cover 3 is an opening of small diameter, equal to 14 mm, and just allows the passage of the foot 8.

L'écrou 10 présente une section longitudinale en forme de U avec une base 31 comprenant la partie filetée 33 de l'écrou 10 ainsi que des rainures de rigidification 32 et une paroi cylindrique 34 s'étendant à partir du pourtour de la base 31 et terminée par une extrémité circulaire 30 libre.The nut 10 has a U-shaped longitudinal section with a base 31 comprising the threaded portion 33 of the nut 10 as well as stiffening grooves 32 and a cylindrical wall 34 extending from the periphery of the base 31 and terminated by a free circular end 30.

L'écrou 10 en forme de U dans cet exemple pourrait être remplacé par un écrou 10 de type plat sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The nut 10 in the form of U in this example could be replaced by a nut 10 of flat type without departing from the scope of the invention.

La configuration illustrée sur les figures 1 et 2 prévoit que l'extrémité circulaire 30 libre de l'écrou 10 se trouve en contact avec la face inférieure 12 du couvercle 3 et non pas la base 31 de l'écrou 10.The configuration illustrated on the Figures 1 and 2 provides that the free circular end 30 of the nut 10 is in contact with the lower face 12 of the lid 3 and not the base 31 of the nut 10.

Conformément au principe de l'invention, le même bouton de commande 1, avec la même bague d'adaptation 16, est adaptable sur des couvercles 3 présentant des ouvertures 2 de diamètres différents, notamment de diamètres égaux à 40 ou 50 mm, ou des épaisseurs de couvercle 3 différentes.In accordance with the principle of the invention, the same control knob 1, with the same adapter ring 16, is adaptable to covers 3 having openings 2 of different diameters, in particular diameters equal to 40 or 50 mm, or 3 different cover thicknesses.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, l'épaisseur du couvercle 3 est relativement importante, par exemple sensiblement égale à 20 mm, le couvercle 3 étant en céramique, mais la même disposition du bouton de commande 1 peut être adaptée sur un couvercle 2 de faible épaisseur, par exemple sensiblement égale à 2 mm, sans changement dans ce cas.In the example shown on the Figures 1 and 2 , the thickness of the cover 3 is relatively large, for example substantially equal to 20 mm, the cover 3 being ceramic, but the same arrangement of the control button 1 can be adapted to a cover 2 of small thickness, for example substantially equal at 2 mm, without change in this case.

Les figures 3 et 4 illustrent le cas d'un couvercle 3 en céramique, d'importante épaisseur présentant une ouverture 2 de diamètre égal à 40 mm.The Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the case of a ceramic lid 3, of significant thickness having an opening 2 of diameter equal to 40 mm.

Dans ce cas, le bouton de commande 1, qui est inchangé, est positionné de manière similaire aux figures 1 et 2, si ce n'est que l'écrou 10 est positionné avec la forme de U à l'envers, les différentes rainures 32 de la base 31 de l'écrou 10 et la partie filetée 33 intérieurement de l'écrou 10 pouvant s'étendre, comme visible, à l'intérieur de l'ouverture 2 du couvercle 3, compte-tenu des dimensions de celle-ci. La base 31 de l'écrou 10 est en contact avec la face inférieure 12 du couvercle 3 prenant appui sur partie de celle-ci.In this case, the control button 1, which is unchanged, is positioned similarly to the Figures 1 and 2 , except that the nut 10 is positioned U-shaped upside down, the different grooves 32 of the base 31 of the nut 10 and the threaded portion 33 internally of the nut 10 being extend, as visible, inside the opening 2 of the lid 3, given the dimensions thereof. The base 31 of the nut 10 is in contact with the lower face 12 of the cover 3 bearing on part thereof.

Dans la configuration illustrée sur les figures 5 et 6, le bouton de commande 1 comporte les mêmes éléments, comme visible, sauf l'écrou 10 qui est un écrou plat et non un écrou 10 de section en forme de U. Un écrou 10 de section en forme de U pourrait néanmoins convenir.In the configuration illustrated on the Figures 5 and 6 , the control button 1 has the same elements, as visible, except the nut 10 which is a flat nut and not a nut 10 of U-shaped section. A nut 10 U-shaped section could nevertheless be suitable.

Dans cette configuration, le couvercle 3 est un couvercle de faible épaisseur présentant une ouverture 2 de diamètre sensiblement égal à 40 mm. Dans ce cas, comme visible, le corps 7 du bouton de commande 1 est positionné à l'intérieur de l'ouverture 2 de telle sorte que la couronne 15 repose sur la face supérieure 11 du couvercle 3, tandis que la bague d'adaptation 16 est positionnée sous le couvercle 3, la collerette 18 étant en contact avec la face inférieure 12 du couvercle 3 et l'épaulement 19 étant en contact avec l'écrou 10. L'écrou 10 par serrage permet ce positionnement de la bague d'adaptation qui le sépare du couvercle 3.In this configuration, the cover 3 is a thin cover having an opening 2 of diameter substantially equal to 40 mm. In this case, as visible, the body 7 of the control button 1 is positioned inside the opening 2 so that the ring 15 rests on the upper face 11 of the cover 3, while the adapter ring 16 is positioned under the cover 3, the collar 18 being in contact with the lower face 12 of the cover 3 and the shoulder 19 being in contact with the nut 10. The nut 10 by clamping allows this positioning of the ring adaptation that separates it from the lid 3.

La configuration illustrée sur les figures 7 et 8, représente la mise en place du bouton de commande 1 sur un couvercle 3, dans cet exemple d'épaisseur importante, présentant une ouverture 2 de diamètre 50 mm. Il est à noter que l'épaisseur du couvercle 3 pourrait être différente, notamment plus faible, sans changer de configuration.The configuration illustrated on the Figures 7 and 8 , represents the setting up of the control button 1 on a cover 3, in this example of large thickness, having an opening 2 of diameter 50 mm. It should be noted that the thickness of the lid 3 could be different, especially smaller, without changing configuration.

Dans cet exemple, comme visible, la bague d'adaptation 16 permet de rattraper le diamètre du corps 7 qui est légèrement inférieur à 40 mm, de manière à permettre au bouton de commande 1 d'être retenu dans l'ouverture 2 large du couvercle 3. La bague d'adaptation 16, dans cet exemple, traverse l'ouverture 2.In this example, as visible, the adapter ring 16 makes it possible to make up the diameter of the body 7 which is slightly less than 40 mm, so as to allow the control knob 1 to be retained in the opening 2 wide of the cover 3. The adapter ring 16, in this example, passes through the opening 2.

En effet, comme visible, la collerette 18 de la bague d'adaptation 16 repose sur la face supérieure 11 du couvercle 3, tandis que la partie centrale cylindrique 17 de la bague d'adaptation 16 épouse sensiblement les bords intérieurs de l'ouverture 2. Enfin, l'épaulement 19 vient sensiblement en appui par son extrémité intérieure 20 du corps 7 du bouton de commande 1. Dans cet exemple, l'écrou 10 présente une forme de section longitudinale en U de manière à permettre le dépassement, sous la face 12 du couvercle 3, du corps 7 et de la bague d'adaptation 16, comme visible. L'extrémité circulaire 30 libre de l'écrou 10 est en contact avec la face inférieure 12 du couvercle 3.Indeed, as visible, the flange 18 of the adapter ring 16 rests on the upper face 11 of the cover 3, while the central cylindrical portion 17 of the adapter ring 16 substantially marries the inner edges of the opening 2 Finally, the shoulder 19 is substantially supported by its inner end 20 of the body 7 of the control button 1. In this example, the nut 10 has a longitudinal U-shaped section so as to allow the overrun, under the face 12 of the cover 3, the body 7 and the adapter ring 16, as visible. The free circular end 30 of the nut 10 is in contact with the lower face 12 of the lid 3.

Dans cet exemple, comme visible, la couronne 15 repose sur la partie supérieure de la collerette 18 de la bague d'adaptation 16.In this example, as visible, the ring 15 rests on the upper part of the flange 18 of the adapter ring 16.
