Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de remplissage et d'évacuation d'eau pour appareil sanitaire tel qu'une baignoire.The present invention relates to a device for filling and discharging water for sanitary apparatus such as a bathtub.

La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement - mais non exclusivement - un tel dispositif apte à être disposé dans le fond d'une baignoire afin de pouvoir la remplir par le fond.The present invention relates more particularly - but not exclusively - such a device adapted to be arranged in the bottom of a bath so that it can be filled at the bottom.

Généralement, les appareils sanitaires, tels que les baignoires, sont remplis par le haut à l'aide d'un ou plusieurs robinets. Ce mode de remplissage a l'inconvénient d'être bruyant.Generally, sanitary fixtures, such as bathtubs, are filled at the top with one or more faucets. This filling mode has the disadvantage of being noisy.

Par ailleurs, il existe des dispositifs qui permettent de remplir une baignoire par le fond, mais ceux-ci présentent les inconvénients d'être complexes, coûteux et difficiles à nettoyer. La maintenance de ces dispositifs n'est, par exemple, pas aisément réalisable par l'utilisateur et doit être confiée à un professionnel.In addition, there are devices that allow to fill a bathtub at the bottom, but they have the disadvantages of being complex, expensive and difficult to clean. The maintenance of these devices is, for example, not easily achievable by the user and must be entrusted to a professional.

La présente invention vise à remédier à au moins certains des inconvénients évoqués et à proposer un nouveau type de dispositif de remplissage et d'évacuation d'eau pour appareil sanitaire, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :

  • un corps de bonde qui présente deux ouvertures supérieure et inférieure opposées et qui comprend au moins une arrivée d'eau,
  • un diffuseur monté sur le corps de bonde par insertion dans l'ouverture supérieure du corps de bonde et comportant une zone centrale ouverte et une zone périphérique munie d'au moins une sortie d'eau pour le remplissage de l'appareil sanitaire,
  • un passage d'amenée d'eau reliant l'arrivée d'eau du corps de bonde à la sortie d'eau du diffuseur,
  • un passage d'évacuation d'eau qui est apte à évacuer l'eau de l'appareil sanitaire et qui relie la zone centrale du diffuseur à l'ouverture inférieure du corps de bonde,
  • un orifice mettant en communication les deux passages.
The present invention aims to remedy at least some of the disadvantages mentioned and to propose a new type of device for filling and discharging water for sanitary appliances, characterized in that it comprises:
  • a bung body which has two opposite upper and lower openings and which comprises at least one water inlet,
  • a diffuser mounted on the bung body by insertion into the upper opening of the bung body and having an open central zone and a peripheral zone provided with at least one water outlet for filling the sanitary apparatus,
  • a water supply passage connecting the water inlet of the bung body to the water outlet of the diffuser,
  • a water discharge passage which is able to evacuate water from the sanitary apparatus and which connects the central zone of the diffuser to the lower opening of the bung body,
  • an orifice putting in communication the two passages.

Lors de l'utilisation du dispositif, de l'eau stagnante peut rester dans le passage d'amenée d'eau, ce qui favorise le développement des bactéries et des mauvaises odeurs.When using the device, standing water may remain in the water supply passage, which promotes the development of bacteria and unpleasant odors.

L'orifice permet à l'eau restant dans la chambre d'être évacuée vers le passage d'évacuation d'eau et donc d'éviter ces inconvénients.The orifice allows the water remaining in the chamber to be discharged to the water discharge passage and thus to avoid these disadvantages.

Selon une caractéristique possible, l'orifice mettant en communication les deux passages est situé dans le corps de bonde, en regard de ladite au moins une arrivée d'eau.According to a possible characteristic, the orifice placing the two passages in communication is located in the bung body, opposite said at least one water inlet.

La position de l'orifice permet de limiter les risques d'obturation de celui-ci, par exemple, par un dépôt de minéraux tels que du tartre. En effet, l'orifice se situe sur le chemin de l'écoulement d'eau issu de l'arrivée d'eau lorsque la vitesse de l'écoulement d'eau est encore assez importante pour éliminer les dépôts de minéraux et/ou empêcher leur formation.The position of the orifice makes it possible to limit the risks of sealing it, for example by depositing minerals such as scale. Indeed, the orifice is located on the path of the flow of water from the water inlet when the speed of the flow of water is still important enough to eliminate mineral deposits and / or prevent their training.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le corps de bonde comprend une chambre qui définit une partie du passage d'amenée d'eau, ledit orifice mettant en communication le passage d'évacuation d'eau avec la chambre.According to another possible characteristic, the bung body comprises a chamber which defines a portion of the water supply passage, said orifice placing in communication the water discharge passage with the chamber.

La présence d'une chambre dans le passage permet de favoriser un régime laminaire de la part de l'écoulement d'eau provenant de l'arrivée d'eau.The presence of a chamber in the passage allows to promote a laminar flow from the flow of water from the water inlet.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, l'orifice est situé au plus près du fond de la chambre lorsque le dispositif est monté sur un appareil sanitaire.According to another possible feature, the orifice is located closer to the bottom of the chamber when the device is mounted on a sanitary appliance.

Cette disposition permet d'évacuer la plus grande partie de l'eau contenue dans la chambre.This arrangement makes it possible to evacuate most of the water contained in the chamber.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le passage d'amenée d'eau est réglable en longueur.According to another possible characteristic, the water supply passage is adjustable in length.

Le dispositif présente les avantages de pouvoir s'adapter à des fonds de baignoires d'épaisseurs variables et/ou à des distances variables entre le tuyau d'évacuation d'eau et le dispositif selon l'invention. De plus, cela a pour effet de rendre la fabrication du dispositif moins onéreuse. En effet, il n'est plus nécessaire de procéder à la fabrication de dispositifs présentant des passages d'amenée d'eau de longueurs différentes.The device has the advantages of being able to adapt to bathtubs of varying thicknesses and / or at variable distances between the water discharge pipe and the device according to the invention. In addition, this has the effect of making the manufacture of the device less expensive. Indeed, it is no longer necessary to proceed to the manufacture of devices having water supply passages of different lengths.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le diffuseur comprend un conduit qui définit une partie du passage d'amenée d'eau, ledit conduit étant apte à coulisser dans la chambre.According to another possible characteristic, the diffuser comprises a duct which defines a portion of the water supply passage, said duct being able to slide in the chamber.

Le coulissement du conduit dans la chambre permet de régler plus simplement et plus rapidement la longueur du passage d'amenée d'eau sans avoir à recourir à des outils et/ou à des moyens de fixation (tels que des vis, des boulons, des vis-papillons...).Sliding the duct into the chamber makes it possible to adjust the length of the water supply passage more simply and quickly without having to resort to tools and / or fastening means (such as screws, bolts, live butterfly ...).

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le corps de bonde comprend un organe mobile qui, selon sa position, est apte à obturer l'orifice mettant en communication les deux passages ou à l'ouvrir.According to another possible feature, the bung body comprises a movable member which, depending on its position, is able to close the orifice connecting the two passages or to open.

Lorsque l'utilisateur remplit d'eau son appareil sanitaire, un écoulement d'eau issu de l'arrivée d'eau se déverse dans l'appareil sanitaire par l'intermédiaire de la sortie d'eau du diffuseur. L'organe mobile permet à l'utilisateur de contrôler l'obturation de l'orifice afin d'éviter un gaspillage d'eau par création d'un écoulement d'eau secondaire, vers le passage d'évacuation d'eau, par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice.When the user fills his sanitary apparatus with water, a flow of water from the water supply flows into the fixture through the water outlet of the diffuser. The movable member allows the user to control the closure of the orifice to avoid wasting water by creating a secondary water flow, to the water discharge passage, by intermediate of the orifice.

De plus, l'obturation de l'orifice permet de préserver les capacités hydrauliques du dispositif, tels que le débit de l'écoulement d'eau.In addition, the closure of the orifice makes it possible to preserve the hydraulic capacities of the device, such as the flow rate of the water flow.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, l'organe mobile comporte un joint qui est apte à venir au contact de l'orifice.According to another possible feature, the movable member has a seal which is adapted to come into contact with the orifice.

Un joint est un moyen simple et économique pour obturer de façon étanche l'orifice mettant en communication les deux passages.A seal is a simple and economical way to seal the orifice connecting the two passages.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le dispositif comprend un clapet d'obturation apte à obturer le passage d'évacuation d'eau, l'organe mobile coopérant avec le clapet d'obturation pour, simultanément, dans une première position, obturer l'orifice et le passage d'évacuation d'eau et, dans une deuxième position, ouvrir l'orifice et le passage d'évacuation d'eau.According to another possible characteristic, the device comprises a shut-off valve capable of closing off the water discharge passage, the movable member cooperating with the shut-off valve for, simultaneously, in a first position, closing off the orifice and the water discharge passage and, in a second position, open the orifice and the water discharge passage.

Il est particulièrement avantageux en termes de simplicité de conception et de fabrication ainsi que de coût de fabrication que l'organe mobile remplisse deux fonctions : obturer l'orifice et commander l'obturation du passage d'évacuation d'eau par le clapet d'obturation.It is particularly advantageous in terms of simplicity of design and manufacturing as well as manufacturing cost that the movable member performs two functions: closing the orifice and controlling the closing of the water evacuation passage by the valve of shutter.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le diffuseur comprend deux parties :

  • une partie formant plateau,
  • un support de plateau dans lequel vient s'insérer la partie formant plateau,
According to another possible characteristic, the diffuser comprises two parts:
  • a tray part,
  • a tray support in which the tray part is inserted,

la partie formant plateau et le support de plateau délimitant la sortie d'eau du diffuseur.the tray portion and the tray support defining the water outlet of the diffuser.

Le plateau peut être inséré ou extrait aisément du support de plateau afin de faciliter l'entretien courant du dispositif tel que le nettoyage de la sortie d'eau du diffuseur.The tray can be easily inserted or removed from the tray support to facilitate routine maintenance of the device such as cleaning the diffuser water outlet.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le diffuseur comprend une pluralité de sorties d'eau qui sont par exemple disposées sur la circonférence du diffuseur.According to another possible characteristic, the diffuser comprises a plurality of water outlets which are for example arranged on the circumference of the diffuser.

La présence d'une pluralité de sorties d'eau permet une répartition homogène de l'écoulement d'eau autour du dispositif et permet d'éviter qu'il y ait une réduction trop importante de la section de passage de l'écoulement d'eau entre la pluralité de sorties d'eau et l'amenée d'eau. En effet, si la section de passage de l'écoulement d'eau diminuait de manière trop importante, il y aurait augmentation de la vitesse d'écoulement ce qui engendrerait du bruit lors du remplissage de l'appareil sanitaire.The presence of a plurality of water outlets allows a homogeneous distribution of the water flow around the device and makes it possible to avoid an excessive reduction of the flow passage section of the water flow. water between the plurality of water outlets and the water supply. Indeed, if the passage section of the water flow decreased too much, it would increase the flow rate which would generate noise during filling of the sanitary appliance.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le corps de bonde est monobloc et est par exemple réalisé par moulage par injection.According to another possible characteristic, the bung body is in one piece and is for example made by injection molding.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, la partie formant plateau et le support de plateau sont monoblocs et sont par exemple réalisés par moulage par injection.According to another possible characteristic, the tray portion and the tray support are monobloc and are for example made by injection molding.

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le corps de bonde, la partie formant plateau et le support de plateau sont réalisés dans des matériaux plastiques tels que du polypropylène, de la résine acétal, du PVC, de l'ABS, du PMMA... ou en métal tel que de l'acier inoxydable, le laiton...According to another possible characteristic, the bung body, the tray part and the tray support are made of plastic materials such as polypropylene, acetal resin, PVC, ABS, PMMA ... or metal such as stainless steel, brass ...

Selon une autre caractéristique possible, le dispositif comprend un manchon de raccordement disposé à l'interface entre le diffuseur et le corps de bonde.According to another possible characteristic, the device comprises a connection sleeve disposed at the interface between the diffuser and the bung body.

Le manchon de raccordement permet de régler facilement la distance entre le corps de bonde et le diffuseur et d'assurer une étanchéité entre ces deux éléments.The connection sleeve makes it possible to easily adjust the distance between the bung body and the diffuser and to ensure a seal between these two elements.

Le dispositif 1 comprend un corps de bonde 4, un diffuseur 7 monté sur le corps de bonde 4, un manchon de raccordement 10 monté à l'interface entre le corps de bonde 4 et le diffuseur 7 et un clapet d'obturation 12.The device 1 comprises a bung body 4, a diffuser 7 mounted on the bung body 4, a connection sleeve 10 mounted at the interface between the bung body 4 and the diffuser 7 and a shut-off valve 12.

Le corps de bonde 4 présente deux ouvertures supérieure 4a et inférieure 4b opposées et reliées entre elles par un espace interne 14 au corps principal 4 (figures 2 et 3a-b).The bung body 4 has two opposite upper openings 4a and 4b that are interconnected by an internal space 14 to the main body 4 (FIG. figures 2 and 3a-b ).

Comme illustré aux figures 1, 3a et 3b, le corps de bonde 4 est apte à être monté sur le siphon S, connu en soi, par l'intermédiaire de l'ouverture inférieure 4b.As illustrated in figures 1 , 3a and 3b , the bung body 4 is adapted to be mounted on the siphon S, known per se, through the lower opening 4b.

On notera que le corps principal 4 est monobloc et est formé par une paroi 4c unique qui délimite l'espace interne 14. Cette paroi 4c est réalisée en matière plastique telle que du polypropylène, de la résine acétal, du PVC, de l'ABS, du PMMA...Note that the main body 4 is monobloc and is formed by a single wall 4c which delimits the internal space 14. This wall 4c is made of plastic such as polypropylene, acetal resin, PVC, ABS , PMMA ...

De plus, le corps de bonde 4 comprend :

  • une arrivée d'eau 16 qui est apte à être connectée à une canalisation d'alimentation en eau (non représentée) et qui comprend un clapet anti-retour 18 (plus particulièrement visible aux figures 2, 3a et 3b),
  • un raccord tubulaire 20 débouchant dans l'espace interne 14 et qui est destiné à être connecté à un conduit d'évacuation du trop-plein de la baignoire (non représenté).
In addition, the bung body 4 comprises:
  • a water inlet 16 which is adapted to be connected to a water supply pipe (not shown) and which comprises a non-return valve 18 (more particularly visible at figures 2 , 3a and 3b )
  • a tubular connector 20 opening into the internal space 14 and which is intended to be connected to a discharge pipe of the overflow of the bath (not shown).

Comme représenté aux figures 3a et 3b, l'espace interne 14 du corps de bonde 4 comprend une chambre 22 formée de deux segments 22a et 22b qui sont disposés de manière à ce que la chambre 22 présente sensiblement la forme d'une conduite coudée. Le premier segment 22a est horizontal, rectiligne et est relié à l'arrivée d'eau 16 et au deuxième segment 22b.As represented in Figures 3a and 3b , the internal space 14 of the bung body 4 comprises a chamber 22 formed of two segments 22a and 22b which are arranged so that the chamber 22 has substantially the shape of a bent pipe. The first segment 22a is horizontal, rectilinear and is connected to the water inlet 16 and the second segment 22b.

Le deuxième segment 22b est vertical, rectiligne et débouche dans l'espace interne 14 au corps principal 4, plus particulièrement à proximité de l'ouverture supérieure 4a du corps de bonde 4.The second segment 22b is vertical, rectilinear and opens into the internal space 14 to the main body 4, more particularly near the upper opening 4a of the bung body 4.

Par ailleurs, le diffuseur 7 comprend deux parties (figure 2) :

  • une partie formant plateau 24 qui comprend un plateau périphérique 24a, une portion centrale 24b ouverte et un conduit 25 qui s'étend à partir de la portion centrale 24b,
  • un support de plateau 27 qui comporte une portion périphérique 27a et une portion centrale 27b ouverte.
In addition, the broadcaster 7 comprises two parts ( figure 2 ):
  • a tray portion 24 which includes a peripheral tray 24a, an open central portion 24b and a conduit 25 extending from the central portion 24b,
  • a tray support 27 which has a peripheral portion 27a and an open central portion 27b.

Le diffuseur 7 est donc obtenu par insertion de la partie formant plateau 24 dans l'ouverture de la portion centrale 27b du support de plateau 27, de sorte que le conduit 25 fait saillie au-delà de la portion centrale 27b (figures 3a et 3b).The diffuser 7 is thus obtained by inserting the tray portion 24 into the opening of the central portion 27b of the tray support 27, so that the conduit 25 projects beyond the central portion 27b ( Figures 3a and 3b ).

On notera que la partie formant plateau 24 et le support de plateau 27 sont des pièces monoblocs qui sont réalisées en matière plastique telle que du polypropylène, de la résine acétal, du PVC, de l'ABS, du PMMA...Note that the tray portion 24 and the tray support 27 are one-piece parts which are made of plastic such as polypropylene, acetal resin, PVC, ABS, PMMA ...

De plus, le diffuseur 7 comprend :

  • un volume interne 7a délimité par les parois disposées en regard de la partie formant plateau 24 et du support de plateau 27,
  • une zone centrale 33 ouverte qui est délimitée par la portion centrale 24b de la partie formant plateau 24 et séparée du volume interne 7a,
  • une zone périphérique 30 dans laquelle est aménagée au moins une sortie d'eau 32 (orifice débouchant) pour le remplissage de l'appareil sanitaire et préférentiellement une pluralité de sorties d'eau 32 réparties sur toute la circonférence de la zone périphérique 30.
In addition, the broadcaster 7 includes:
  • an internal volume 7a delimited by the walls arranged facing the plate portion 24 and the tray support 27,
  • an open central zone 33 which is delimited by the central portion 24b of the plate portion 24 and separated from the internal volume 7a,
  • a peripheral zone 30 in which is arranged at least one water outlet 32 (orifice opening) for filling the sanitary apparatus and preferably a plurality of water outlets 32 distributed over the entire circumference of the peripheral zone 30.

Plus particulièrement, le volume interne 7a relie le conduit 25 à la ou aux sorties d'eau 32 par l'intermédiaire de :

  • une cavité 36, par exemple annulaire, reliée au conduit 25 de la partie formant plateau 24,
  • un ou plusieurs canaux 34 d'amenée d'eau qui relient la cavité 36 à la ou aux sorties d'eau 32.
More particularly, the internal volume 7a connects the conduit 25 to the water outlet (s) 32 via:
  • a cavity 36, for example annular, connected to the conduit 25 of the tray portion 24,
  • one or more channels 34 for supplying water which connect the cavity 36 to the outlet (s) 32.

Comme illustré aux figures 1, 3a et 3b, le manchon de raccordement 10 est conformé pour être monté au niveau de l'ouverture supérieure 4a du corps de bonde 4. Le manchon de raccordement 10 comprend un trou traversant 10a central qui, en position montée, débouche sur l'ouverture supérieure 4a du corps de bonde.As illustrated in figures 1 , 3a and 3b , the connecting sleeve 10 is shaped to be mounted at the upper opening 4a of the bung body 4. The connecting sleeve 10 comprises a central through hole 10a which, in the mounted position, opens onto the upper opening 4a of the body of bung.

Le manchon de raccordement 10 est connu en soi et sa structure ne sera donc pas davantage détaillée ici. Cependant, on notera que le manchon de raccordement 10 est réalisé dans un matériau plastique souple (et/ou déformable) et qu'il assure l'étanchéité entre le corps de bonde 4 et le diffuseur 7.The connecting sleeve 10 is known per se and its structure will not be further detailed here. However, it will be noted that the connecting sleeve 10 is made of a flexible (and / or deformable) plastic material and that it seals between the bung body 4 and the diffuser 7.

Plus particulièrement, le diffuseur 7 est monté sur le corps de bonde 4 par insertion successive à travers le trou traversant 10a du manchon de raccordement 10 et l'ouverture supérieure 4a du corps de bonde 4.More particularly, the diffuser 7 is mounted on the bung body 4 by successive insertion through the through hole 10a of the connecting sleeve 10 and the upper opening 4a of the bung body 4.

En position montée, le conduit 25 saillant de la partie formant plateau 24 est inséré par coulissement dans la chambre 22 du corps de bonde 4.In the mounted position, the channel 25 protruding from the plate portion 24 is slidably inserted into the chamber 22 of the bung body 4.

Le clapet d'obturation 12 comprend entre autres une partie obturante 12a en forme de disque et une tige 12b dont l'une des extrémités est reliée à la partie obturante 12. La structure et la fonction d'un clapet d'obturation sont connues en soi et ne seront donc pas détaillées davantage ici.The shut-off valve 12 comprises inter alia a disc-shaped sealing portion 12a and a rod 12b whose one end is connected to the shut-off part 12. The structure and function of a shut-off valve are known in self and will not be detailed further here.

Par ailleurs, le dispositif 1 comprend :

  • un passage d'amenée d'eau 38 qui relie l'arrivée d'eau 16 du corps de bonde 4 à la ou aux sorties d'eau 32 du diffuseur 7,
  • un passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 qui est apte à évacuer l'eau de l'appareil sanitaire vers le siphon S.
Moreover, the device 1 comprises:
  • a water supply passage 38 which connects the water inlet 16 of the bung body 4 to the water outlet (s) 32 of the diffuser 7,
  • a drainage passage 40 which is able to evacuate the water from the sanitary appliance to the siphon S.

Les deux passages 38 et 40 ci-dessus sont plus particulièrement visibles aux figures 3a et 3b.The two passages 38 and 40 above are more particularly visible to the Figures 3a and 3b .

Plus particulièrement, le passage d'amenée d'eau 38 est défini successivement par les éléments suivants reliés les uns aux autres : la chambre 22, le conduit 25, le volume interne 7a, le ou les canaux 34 d'amenée d'eau, la ou les sorties d'eau 32.More particularly, the water supply passage 38 is defined successively by the following elements connected to each other: the chamber 22, the duct 25, the internal volume 7a, or the water supply channels 34, the outlet (s) 32.

On notera que l'aptitude du conduit 25 à coulisser dans la chambre 22 permet le réglage en longueur/hauteur du passage d'amenée d'eau 38 pour s'adapter à la configuration de l'appareil sanitaire.Note that the ability of the duct 25 to slide in the chamber 22 allows the adjustment in length / height of the water supply passage 38 to adapt to the configuration of the sanitary appliance.

Plus particulièrement, le passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 est défini successivement par les éléments suivants reliés les uns aux autres : l'espace périphérique ménagé entre la zone périphérique 30 du diffuseur 7 et la partie obturante 12a du clapet 12 (en position ouverte), la zone centrale 33 du diffuseur 7, l'ouverture supérieure 4a du corps de bonde 4, l'espace interne 14 et l'ouverture inférieure 4b du corps de bonde 4.More particularly, the water discharge passage 40 is defined successively by the following elements connected to each other: the peripheral space formed between the peripheral zone 30 of the diffuser 7 and the shutter portion 12a of the valve 12 (in the open position ), the central zone 33 of the diffuser 7, the upper opening 4a of the bung body 4, the internal space 14 and the lower opening 4b of the bung body 4.

On notera que l'aptitude du manchon de raccordement 10 à se déformer permet le réglage en longueur/hauteur du passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 pour s'adapter à la configuration de l'appareil sanitaire.Note that the ability of the connecting sleeve 10 to deform allows the length / height adjustment of the water discharge passage 40 to adapt to the configuration of the sanitary appliance.

Par ailleurs, la chambre 22 du corps de bonde 4 comprend un orifice 46 (figures 3a et 3b) qui est aménagé dans le premier segment 22a en regard de l'arrivée d'eau 16.Moreover, the chamber 22 of the bung body 4 comprises an orifice 46 ( Figures 3a and 3b ) which is arranged in the first segment 22a opposite the water inlet 16.

L'orifice 46 met en communication les passages d'amenée d'eau 38 et d'évacuation d'eau 40 et, plus particulièrement, la chambre 22 avec l'espace interne 14.The orifice 46 puts in communication the water supply and water evacuation passages 40 and, more particularly, the chamber 22 with the internal space 14.

De plus, l'orifice 46 est disposé au plus près du fond de la chambre 22. Lorsque le dispositif 1 est monté sur un appareil sanitaire, cet agencement permet d'optimiser l'évacuation de l'eau stagnant dans la chambre après utilisation du dispositif 1.In addition, the orifice 46 is disposed as close to the bottom of the chamber 22. When the device 1 is mounted on a sanitary appliance, this arrangement makes it possible to optimize the evacuation of the stagnant water in the chamber after using the device 1.

Le corps de bonde 4 comprend une cloison cylindrique 50 aménagée dans l'espace interne 14. La cloison cylindrique 50 est reliée à la paroi 4c du corps principal 4, d'une part, directement et, d'autre part, par l'intermédiaire d'une cloison radiale 52 (figures 2 et 3a-b). De plus, la cloison cylindrique 50 comporte sur sa face interne un filetage 50a.The bung body 4 comprises a cylindrical partition 50 arranged in the internal space 14. The cylindrical partition 50 is connected to the wall 4c of the main body 4, on the one hand, directly and, on the other hand, via of a radial partition 52 ( figures 2 and 3a-b ). In addition, the cylindrical partition 50 has on its inner face a thread 50a.

La partie formant plateau 24 comprend une cloison annulaire 54 aménagée dans la portion centrale 24b et reliée à la portion centrale 24b par l'intermédiaire d'une pluralité de cloisons radiales 56 (figures 2 et 3a-b).The tray portion 24 comprises an annular partition 54 formed in the central portion 24b and connected to the central portion 24b via a plurality of radial partitions 56 ( figures 2 and 3a-b ).

Lorsque le diffuseur 7 est monté sur le corps de bonde 4, les cloisons cylindrique 50 et annulaire 54 sont alignées co-axialement de telle manière qu'une douille filetée 58 (figures 2 et 3a-b) peut être insérée à travers les cloisons 50 et 54 afin de solidariser le diffuseur 7 au corps de bonde 4.When the diffuser 7 is mounted on the bung body 4, the cylindrical 50 and annular partitions 54 are aligned co-axially so that a threaded bush 58 ( figures 2 and 3a-b ) can be inserted through the partitions 50 and 54 in order to secure the diffuser 7 to the bung body 4.

La douille filetée 58 vient par un épaulement en appui sur un rebord interne de la cloison annulaire 54.The threaded bush 58 comes by a shoulder resting on an internal rim of the annular partition 54.

De plus, la douille filetée 58 est destinée à accueillir à son extrémité supérieure la tige 12b du clapet d'obturation 12 de telle manière que, d'une part, la partie obturante 12a soit apte à obturer sur commande la zone centrale 33 du diffuseur 7 (et donc par extension le passage d'évacuation d'eau 40) et, d'autre part, la tige 12b s'étend à travers la zone centrale 33 et l'espace interne 14. L'extrémité libre de la tige 12b traverse complètement la douille filetée 58 et ressort au-delà de son extrémité inférieure.In addition, the threaded bush 58 is intended to receive at its upper end the rod 12b of the shutter valve 12 so that, on the one hand, the sealing portion 12a is able to shut off on command the central zone 33 of the diffuser 7 (and therefore by extension the water discharge passage 40) and, on the other hand, the rod 12b extends through the central zone 33 and the internal space 14. The free end of the rod 12b completely crosses the threaded sleeve 58 and exits beyond its lower end.

Comme illustré aux figures 2, 3a et 3b, le dispositif 1 comprend en outre un organe mobile 60 sensiblement en forme de crochet qui comporte une cavité 60a dans laquelle sont disposés un ressort 64 et par-dessus un joint 62 (figure 2).As illustrated in figures 2 , 3a and 3b the device 1 further comprises a substantially hook-shaped movable member 60 having a cavity 60a in which a spring 64 is disposed and a seal 62 over it ( figure 2 ).

Le crochet 60 est disposé dans l'espace interne 14, plus particulièrement à proximité de l'ouverture inférieure 4b et de l'extrémité libre de la tige 12b (figures 3a-b).The hook 60 is disposed in the internal space 14, more particularly in the vicinity of the lower opening 4b and the free end of the rod 12b ( Figures 3a-b ).

Plus particulièrement, le crochet 60 est conformé et disposé en vue d'exercer les deux fonctions suivantes :

  • obturer ou ouvrir l'orifice 46 mettant en communication les deux passages 38 et 40,
  • commander l'obturation ou l'ouverture du passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 par le clapet d'obturation 12.
More particularly, the hook 60 is shaped and arranged to perform the following two functions:
  • closing or opening the orifice 46 placing in communication the two passages 38 and 40,
  • control the closing or opening of the water discharge passage 40 by the shut-off valve 12.

L'obturation de l'orifice 46 par le crochet 60 s'effectue par le plaquage du joint 62 contre l'orifice 46 sous l'action du ressort 64.Closing of the orifice 46 by the hook 60 is effected by the plating of the seal 62 against the orifice 46 under the action of the spring 64.

Par ailleurs, la commande de l'ouverture du passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 est réalisée par une portion du crochet 60 (doigt de contact) qui vient pousser vers le haut la tige 12b du clapet d'obturation 12 afin que la partie obturante 12a soit relevée (c'est à dire qu'elle s'écarte de la partie formant plateau 24) et n'obture plus la zone centrale 33 du diffuseur 7.Furthermore, the control of the opening of the water discharge passage 40 is carried out by a portion of the hook 60 (contact finger) which push up the stem 12b of the shutter valve 12 so that the sealing portion 12a is raised (that is to say it deviates from the plate portion 24) and no longer obturates the central zone 33 of the broadcaster 7.

L'activation l'organe mobile 60 s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme de commande externe non représenté et connu en soi (ce mécanisme est connu pour commander l'ouverture et la fermeture du clapet) qui ne sera pas davantage détaillé ici.Activation the movable member 60 is effected via an external control mechanism not shown and known per se (this mechanism is known to control the opening and closing of the valve) which will not be more detailed right here.

Ce mécanisme de commande permet à l'organe mobile 60 d'adopter deux positions :

  • une première position dans laquelle le passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 et l'orifice 46 sont obturés ; c'est le mode illustré à la figure 3a dans lequel l'utilisateur remplit d'eau l'appareil sanitaire ; un écoulement d'eau issu de l'arrivée d'eau 16 peut donc se déverser dans l'appareil sanitaire, par l'intermédiaire de la ou des sorties d'eau 32 (sans pertes d'eau par création d'un écoulement d'eau secondaire par l'orifice 46) ;
  • une deuxième position dans laquelle le passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 et l'orifice 46 sont ouverts ; c'est le mode illustré à la figure 3b dans lequel l'utilisateur veut évacuer l'eau contenue dans l'appareil sanitaire par le passage d'évacuation 40 ; une partie de l'eau issue de l'appareil sanitaire reflue alors par le passage d'amenée d'eau 38 et rejoint le passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice 46.
This control mechanism allows the movable member 60 to adopt two positions:
  • a first position in which the water discharge passage 40 and the orifice 46 are closed; this is the mode shown in the figure 3a in which the user fills the sanitary apparatus with water; a flow of water from the water inlet 16 can therefore be discharged into the sanitary apparatus, via the outlet (s) 32 (without loss of water by creating a flow of water). secondary water through port 46);
  • a second position in which the water discharge passage 40 and the orifice 46 are open; this is the mode shown in the figure 3b in which the user wants to evacuate the water contained in the sanitary appliance through the evacuation passage 40; a portion of the water from the sanitary appliance then flows back through the water feed passage 38 and joins the water discharge passage 40 via the orifice 46.

Le passage d'une position à l'autre permet l'obturation ou l'ouverture simultanée du passage d'évacuation d'eau 40 et de l'orifice 46.The passage from one position to the other allows simultaneous closing or opening of the water discharge passage 40 and the orifice 46.
