Definitions
- the present invention relates to sanitary articles, in particular toilets and urinals with rimless bowls that are easy to clean, and a cleaning method.
- Toilets with flushing edge have the disadvantage that contaminants from the toilet in / at the flushing rim and in the rear of the toilet under the serving as a baffle porcelain wall section and these places can not or only insufficiently cleaned with a small brush.
- toilets and urinals which have neither an accessible water tank nor a toilet bowl edge, at the bottom of flushing water leaking.
- the flushing is done in such rimless bowls in that the bowl is wetted with water with a defined flow profile.
- the rinsing water is generally conducted in such a way that the water from the rinsing water feed line impinges against the rear side of a porcelain wall section which extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the feed line.
- the wall portion is part of the toilet bowl and, in conjunction with other vanes forming open flow channels, causes the rinse water to exit the bowl laterally and at the bottom of the wall portion defined by a plurality of openings or gaps.
- the wall, the guide elements and the bowl are designed so that the rinse water completely wets the inner surface of the bowl to be cleaned by the impact on the wall portion, the shape of the guide elements and the shape of the bowl inner wall.
- the rinse water is then fed through the outlet located in the bowl to the drain line.
- rimless toilets are sold, for example, by Keramag under the trademarks "Renova No. 1", “4U” or “iCon”, by Toto under the “Tornado Flush” brand or by Mansfield under the “Cascade” brand ,
- the dish rimless toilet bowl is without any undercuts or the like except for the small area of the rinse water outlet, so that soiling - with the exception of the outlet area for the rinse water - is easily accessible and can be easily removed with a conventional toilet brush.
- a cleaning system for toilets / urinals in which one or more fillable containers are integrated in the porcelain of the toilet / urinal laterally next to the flushing water pipe and are connected to the Spülwasserrohr that a mixing of rinse water and container contents is possible.
- a disadvantage of these refillable containers is that they can not be cleaned or only with great difficulty. As a result, the container grows gradually with a bacterial lawn, especially when cleaning agents are filled in the container, which promote bacterial growth.
- a toilet bowl which has a flushing edge, wherein in the wall of the bowl adjacent to the water inlet a container is formed, the outlet openings are in communication with the bowl.
- the container is used to hold cleaning agents. Also in this toilet, the outlet openings gradually settle with urine stone and are very difficult to clean.
- the DE 10 2005 029 609 A1 teaches a Spülwasser arrangement for a toilet bowl with flushing edge, which has a housing with a connecting piece for connection to the connecting pipe and laterally and at the bottom extending openings for the outlet of the rinse water.
- the housing is installed in the bowl edge, which has a recess in the rear, and the connecting piece firmly connected to the connecting pipe.
- a dispenser for dispensing active ingredients is provided as an additive for the rinse water, which is interchangeable.
- the EP 2 341 196 B1 teaches a mixing assembly integrally molded within the sanitary basin having a supply conduit and a plurality of drain conduits extending between the mixing chamber and the bowl.
- the mixing assembly is a holder for a cleaning agent.
- a disadvantage of this mixing arrangement is that the directed towards the bowl openings of the drain lines gradually enforced by splashes from the toilet bowl with urine or dirt and can not be cleaned.
- the object of the present invention is to improve the cleaning of sanitary objects without flushing edge such as toilets and urinals in the area of the projecting into the bowl openings or columns for the flow of rinse water and to prevent contamination in this area.
- the entire flow profile destructive openings is not an area of the toilet bowl, but - as a single part - can be completely removed from the use position for cleaning purposes, a simple cleaning, in particular the openings of the wall element is possible, the wall element then back in the bowl in Fixing position is attached or can be replaced by a new one.
- the wall element is fastened in a preferred embodiment exclusively with its two sides to the bowl, so it can be easily removed in the context of a normal toilet cleaning by the consumer, cleaned and put back into it, which is in the from the DE 10 2005 029 609 A1 known device in which the vessel is mounted in the rear toilet area to the pipe is not possible.
- the wall element according to the invention can be removed as a part or a piece from the bowl.
- the wall element is integrally formed and in a further variant in particular in one piece.
- the pointing in the direction of the interior of the toilet bowl surface of the wall element is preferably flat.
- the wall element is in the form of a bowl-shaped, slightly curved plate formed having openings for the passage of water and means for lateral attachment to the bowl.
- the shape of the inside of the toilet bowl with wall element is the shape of the inside of a conventional toilet, only the wall element is formed as a removable part, which can be removed as such from the use position.
- the toilet according to the invention is thus easy to clean throughout the bowl area as a conventional toilet. Due to the removable wall element, however, a further cleaning possibility in the region of the openings is opened, which is not known from conventional toilets. Also, the area of the inflow, in which, as explained later, cleaning agents can be positioned, can be easily cleaned after removal of the wall element and a possible bacterial lawn can be removed.
- removable upwards is meant not only a fully vertical, but also an oblique top (e.g., at an angle of 70 ° to 90 ° to the horizontal).
- the openings in the wall element are used for the direct passage of the rinse water in the bowl or bowl edge and not to fill another vessel.
- the right and left sides of the wall element are connectable to the bowl via a groove joint, respectively.
- the groove connection can be, for example, a tongue and groove connection, wherein the groove on the bowl and the spring on the side of the wall element or vice versa can be provided.
- the wall element laterally has two integrally formed retaining lips, which can each be secured in a corresponding groove in the bowl. The wall element is thereby pushed from above into the groove in the bowl. If the wall element is removed for cleaning purposes, then the groove is also accessible for cleaning purposes.
- the two side walls of the wall element extend obliquely in the direction of the interior of the bowl, as viewed from above, so that the wall element is pressed by the flushing flow against the corresponding inclined surface on the bowl.
- the groove connection between the wall element and the bowl extends in the vertical direction, in another variant, the groove connection between wall element and bowl obliquely upwards to counteract a pushing up of the wall element by the flushing stream.
- an opening with means for a positive fastening, wherein the opening at the place where usually the wall portion is located and the adjoining up edge piece.
- an L-shaped wall element with a horizontal plate can be pushed in from above, that right and left of the wall portion of the inside of the bowl and right and left of the top of the horizontal plate which is located on the top of the plate right and left upper side of the border connects.
- the long leg of the L corresponds to the previously described vertically extending wall element, at the upper edge of which a rectangular plate (short leg of the L) connects, which in turn to cover the opening in the edge of the rimless toilet serves.
- the width of the wall element depends on the diameter of the connection pipe.
- the width should be at least equal to the width of the connection pipe.
- the wall element is between 3 and 30 cm, preferably between 8 and 25 cm, and more preferably between 15 and 20 cm wide.
- the wall element completely removed from the toilet and can be used again can be attached to the not pointing in the direction of the bowl interior side of the wall element, a holder which can serve for the storage of piece-shaped, gel-like or liquid cleaning agents.
- the rear portion of the wall element is also accessible with the support, i. that - for example, in the context of removal of the wall element for cleaning purposes - at the same time a new detergent can be inserted into the holder.
- the wall element is not L- but U-shaped, one leg forms the baffle plate described above, the bottom of the U corresponds to the previously described leg of the L and the other leg of the U serves to the outer edge of the toilet overlap and serve as an abutment.
- the positive connection with the bowl is achieved by the plugged onto the bowl U-profile, so that depending on the configuration even the previously described lateral groove connections can be omitted.
- the further leg of the U is in the form of two individual legs or pins which engage in corresponding vertical holes in the bowl. This variant is particularly suitable for wall-mounted toilets.
- the L-shaped or U-shaped wall element can also be designed as a disposable item, preferably with integrated cleaning agent, which can then be filled or replaced during cleaning like a conventional toilet bowl.
- the cleaning agent can also be introduced directly into the connection pipe for the water supply without additional fastening means, whereby a special device for metering into the pipe can be provided (pipe-in-pipe system).
- a special metering device such as a pump with a battery can be introduced into the tube.
- Such in the range of the inlet of the rinse water in the flow direction in front of the bowl and the outlet openings and also generally located in front of the vanes cleaning agent does not adversely affect the flow profile in the bowl. It dissolves before each flushing partially in the water in the inlet and thus provides in the rinse water cleaning and / or fragrancing ready, as it is known, for example, in the cleaning products that are added to the toilet boxes.
- the cleaning agent can also be glued to the directed towards the Spülwasserzulaufs side of the wall element, either adhesive viscous detergent, for example, from the WO99 / 66017 , of the EP1 325 103 B1 , of the EP 1 318 191 B1 or the DE 10 2004 056 554 A1 are known, can be used.
- adhesive viscous detergent for example, from the WO99 / 66017 , of the EP1 325 103 B1 , of the EP 1 318 191 B1 or the DE 10 2004 056 554 A1 are known, can be used.
- piece-shaped toilet cleaners by means of special adhesive pastes which from the WO 2009106220 A1 are known to be glued to the baffle wall side of the wall element.
- At least a portion of the wall element is transparent or has a viewing window, so that the consumer can check whether cleaning agent has to be refilled.
- the wall element on the facing in the direction of the connecting pipe side guide surfaces and / or on the side and / or bottom openings which cause a guidance and distribution of the water in the desired area of the bowl.
- the present invention not only makes it easy to clean sanitary objects in the area of the openings, but for the first time also enables simple maintenance cleaning of rimless toilets without adversely affecting the flow profile in the bowl.
- the wall element according to the invention can be made of different materials such as plastic, stainless steel, glass or ceramic.
- plastic if necessary. Faced with ceramic used, since a separate plastic part is easy to manufacture, easy to clean and can be tolerances far better comply with the production compared to ceramic parts.
- some or all openings may be designed with nozzles in order to allow a better and more targeted alignment of the rinse water jet in the toilet.
- These nozzles can be rigid or can be moved out in the direction of the bowl even when the rinse is actuated by the water pressure.
- a different distribution and orientation of the individual rinse water jets in the toilet can be made possible by the nozzles.
- the removable wall element which has openings with nozzles, also makes it possible to improve the flow profile, especially in the area of heavy soiling or less wetted areas.
- the wall element according to the invention In contrast to the known from the prior art additional containers that are mounted in the bowl, omitted in the wall element according to the invention also a container rear wall, between which and the interior of the bowl, further dirt and urine stone can accumulate.
- the wall element according to the invention preferably has no on the inner wall of the bowl or the inner edge of the toilet directly fitting surface, but it is only laterally or in one held away from the bowl interior of the toilet. In this respect, no dirt between two adjoining walls in or near the toilet bowl can fix.
- the wall element according to the invention is not to be attached to a conventional bowl in addition, but the wall element is fastened to a special bowl without wall section and results, inserted into the bowl without wall section, then a usual shaped toilet, but in contrast to the prior Technique of the wall section can be taken.
- the wall element according to the invention forms a removable part of the toilet or urinal and is not an additional reservoir.
- Another advantage of the present invention is also that the sanitary article according to the invention can also be used in the institutional field, since it allows a hygienic and simple maintenance cleaning.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Sanitärgegenstände, insbesondere Toiletten und Urinale mit spülrandlosen Schüsseln, die einfach zu reinigen sind, und ein Reinigungsverfahren.The present invention relates to sanitary articles, in particular toilets and urinals with rimless bowls that are easy to clean, and a cleaning method.
Herkömmliche Toilettenschüsseln weisen an der Schüsseloberseite häufig einen Rand auf, an dessen Unterseite Spülwasser austritt. Die Unterhaltsreinigung solcher Toiletten erfolgt häufig dadurch, dass ein einen Reinigungsblock ("Rimblock") enthaltendes WC-Körbchen am Rand der Toilettenschüssel derart befestigt wird, dass der Reinigungsblock bei jedem Spülvorgang mit Wasser überspült wird, wobei Reinigungs- und Duftstoffe freigesetzt werden und sich der Reinigungsblock nach und nach auflöst. Häufig kann die Unterhaltsreinigung auch über den Wasserkasten erfolgen. Soweit die Wasserkästen zugänglich sind, können dem Wasserkasten stückförmige Reinigungsmittel zugegeben werden. Die Reinigungsmittel lösen sich über eine Vielzahl von Spülzyklen im Spülkasten nach und nach auf und stellen somit Reinigungs- und/oder Beduftungsmittel enthaltendes Spülwasser bereit.Conventional toilet bowls have at the top of the bowl often an edge at the bottom of flushing water emerges. The maintenance cleaning of such toilets is often done by attaching a toilet block containing a rimblock to the rim of the toilet bowl so that the cleaning block is flushed with water at each rinse, releasing cleansers and fragrances and releasing the toilet bowl Cleaning block gradually dissolves. Frequently, the maintenance cleaning can also be done via the water box. As far as the water boxes are accessible, can the toilet tank bit-shaped detergent can be added. The detergents dissolve over a variety of rinsing cycles in the cistern gradually and thus provide cleaning and / or Beduftungsmittel containing rinse water ready.
Toiletten mit Spülrand weisen allerdings den Nachteil auf, dass Verunreinigungen aus der Toilette in/an den Spülrand und in den hinteren Bereich der Toilette unter den als Prallplatte dienenden Porzellanwandabschnitt gelangen und diese Stellen nicht oder nur ungenügend mit einem kleinen Bürstchen gereinigt werden können.Toilets with flushing edge, however, have the disadvantage that contaminants from the toilet in / at the flushing rim and in the rear of the toilet under the serving as a baffle porcelain wall section and these places can not or only insufficiently cleaned with a small brush.
Weiterhin sind Toiletten und Urinale bekannt, die weder einen zugänglichen Wasserkasten noch einen Toilettenschüsselrand aufweisen, an dessen Unterseite Spülwasser austritt. Die Spülung erfolgt bei solchen spülrandlosen Schüsseln dadurch, dass die Schüssel mit Wasser mit einem definierten Strömungsprofil benetzt wird. Das Spülwasser wird dabei im Allgemeinen derart geleitet, dass das Wasser aus der Spülwasserzulaufleitung gegen die Rückseite eines Porzellanwandabschnitts prallt, der sich rechtwinklig der Längsachse der Zulaufleitung erstreckt. Der Wandabschnitt ist Teil der Toilettenschüssel und bewirkt im Zusammenspiel mit weiteren Leitelementen, die offene Strömungskanäle bilden, dass das Spülwasser seitlich und an der Unterseite des Wandabschnitts durch mehrere Öffnungen oder Spalten definiert in die Schüssel austritt. Die Wand, die Leitelemente und die Schüssel sind dabei so ausgebildet, dass das Spülwasser durch den Aufprall auf den Wandabschnitt, die Form der Leitelemente und die Form der Schüsselinnenwand die zu reinigende Innenfläche der Schüssel vollständig benetzt. Das Spülwasser wird dann durch den in der Schüssel befindlichen Auslass der Abflussleitung zugeführt.Furthermore, toilets and urinals are known, which have neither an accessible water tank nor a toilet bowl edge, at the bottom of flushing water leaking. The flushing is done in such rimless bowls in that the bowl is wetted with water with a defined flow profile. In this case, the rinsing water is generally conducted in such a way that the water from the rinsing water feed line impinges against the rear side of a porcelain wall section which extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the feed line. The wall portion is part of the toilet bowl and, in conjunction with other vanes forming open flow channels, causes the rinse water to exit the bowl laterally and at the bottom of the wall portion defined by a plurality of openings or gaps. The wall, the guide elements and the bowl are designed so that the rinse water completely wets the inner surface of the bowl to be cleaned by the impact on the wall portion, the shape of the guide elements and the shape of the bowl inner wall. The rinse water is then fed through the outlet located in the bowl to the drain line.
Solche spülrandlosen WCs werden beispielsweise von der Firma Keramag unter den Marken "Renova Nr. 1", "4U" oder "iCon", von der Firma Toto unter der Marke "Tornado Flush" oder von der Firma Mansfield unter der Marke "Cascade" vertrieben.Such rimless toilets are sold, for example, by Keramag under the trademarks "Renova No. 1", "4U" or "iCon", by Toto under the "Tornado Flush" brand or by Mansfield under the "Cascade" brand ,
Nachdem diese Toiletten keinen Spülrand aufweisen, kommt es nicht zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verschmutzungen am/im Spülrand. Die spülrandlose Toilettenschüssel ist vielmehr bis auf den kleinen Bereich des Spülwasseraustritts ohne Hinterschneidungen oder Ähnlichem, so dass Verschmutzungen - bis auf den Austrittsbereich für das Spülwasser - einfach zugänglich sind und sich mit einer herkömmlichen WC-Bürste einfach entfernen lassen.After these toilets have no flushing rim, it does not come to the known from the prior art soiling on / in Flushing rim. Rather, the dish rimless toilet bowl is without any undercuts or the like except for the small area of the rinse water outlet, so that soiling - with the exception of the outlet area for the rinse water - is easily accessible and can be easily removed with a conventional toilet brush.
Bei solchen Toiletten und Urinalen mit randlosen Schüsseln treten allerdings Verschmutzungen, beispielsweise von Kalk- und/oder Urinstein und Verkotung, Algen oder Pilzen, im Bereich der Austrittsöffnungen und Spalten auf, die sehr schwer oder gar nicht entfernbar sind.In such toilets and urinals with rimless bowls, however, occur pollution, such as calcareous and / or urinary stone and carbonation, algae or fungi, in the region of the outlet openings and columns, which are very difficult or impossible to remove.
Durch die Bildung von Kalk- und/oder Urinstein und Verkotung, Algen oder Pilzen werden die Strömungsprofile verändert, d.h. es besteht die Gefahr, dass nicht mehr das gesamte Becken mit Spülwasser überspült wird. Im schlimmsten Fall setzen sich sogar die Öffnungen und Spalten mit Kalk- und/oder Urinstein und Verkotung, Algen oder Pilzen zu.The formation of lime and / or urine scale and feces, algae or fungi alters the airfoils, i. There is a risk that the entire pool will no longer be flushed with rinse water. In the worst case, even the openings and fissures with calcareous and / or urinary stone and carbonation, algae or fungi settle.
Eine oftmals nur teilweise Reinigung im Bereich der Öffnungen und Spalten zum Austritt des Spülwassers ist nur von Hand im Rahmen einer einmaligen Reinigung möglich, die vom Verbraucher als äußerst unhygienisch empfunden wird, denn es ist erforderlich, sich in Richtung des Schüsselinneren zu bücken und dann mit einer kleinen Bürste die oft unzugänglichen Öffnungen und Spalten in der Reichweite der Bürste zu schrubben.An often only partial cleaning in the area of the openings and gaps for the discharge of the rinse water is only possible by hand as part of a one-time cleaning, which is perceived by the consumer as extremely unhygienic, because it is necessary to bend in the direction of the bowl interior and then with a small brush to scrub the often inaccessible openings and gaps within the reach of the brush.
Im Bereich der institutionellen Hygiene wie Krankenhäusern, Kindergärten oder Altenheimen scheidet eine solche Reinigung von Hand, die zudem nicht zu dem gewünschten Ergebnis führt, völlig aus.In the field of institutional hygiene such as hospitals, kindergartens or nursing homes, such a cleaning by hand, which also does not lead to the desired result, completely eliminated.
Würde man analog zu dem WC-Körbchen in das definierte Strömungsprofil ein Reinigungsmittel in einem Behältnis oder durch Ankleben, beispielsweise mit den in der
Aus der
Während des Gebrauchs kommt es allerdings zu erheblichen Verschmutzungen und zur Bildung von Urinstein zwischen der Schüsselwand und der Außenwand des Dosiergeräts. Diese Verschmutzungen lassen sich sehr schwer entfernen. Dadurch, dass das Gerät am Rand befestigt ist, wird zudem die Reinigung des Randes erschwert.During use, however, there is considerable contamination and the formation of urine stone between the bowl wall and the outer wall of the dosing device. These contaminants are very difficult to remove. The fact that the device is attached to the edge, the cleaning of the edge is also more difficult.
Aus der
Nachteilig an diesen befüllbaren Behältern ist, dass sich diese nicht oder nur sehr schwer reinigen lassen. Dadurch wächst der Behälter nach und nach mit einem Bakterienrasen zu, insbesondere, wenn Reinigungsmittel in das Behältnis gefüllt werden, die das Bakterienwachstum fördern.A disadvantage of these refillable containers is that they can not be cleaned or only with great difficulty. As a result, the container grows gradually with a bacterial lawn, especially when cleaning agents are filled in the container, which promote bacterial growth.

Die
Auch bei dieser Spülwasserführung besteht das Problem, dass Spritzer durch die nach unten gerichteten Öffnungen in das Gehäuse gelangen, sich das Gehäuse nach und nach zusetzt und nicht gereinigt werden kann.Even with this flushing water guide there is the problem that splashes pass through the downwardly directed openings in the housing, the housing gradually clogged and can not be cleaned.
Die
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, die Reinigung von Sanitärgegenständen ohne Spülrand wie Toiletten und Urinalen im Bereich der in die Schüssel hineinragenden Öffnungen oder Spalten zum Durchfluss des Spülwassers zu verbessern und Verschmutzungen in diesem Bereich zu verhindern.The object of the present invention is to improve the cleaning of sanitary objects without flushing edge such as toilets and urinals in the area of the projecting into the bowl openings or columns for the flow of rinse water and to prevent contamination in this area.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass bei den bislang bekannten Toiletten oder Urinalen mit einem Anschlussrohr für die Spülwasserzuführung, einer Schüssel und einem Wandabschnitt mit Öffnungen, wobei die Öffnungen in dem Wandabschnitt zum Durchtritt des Spülwassers in die Schüssel dienen, der Wandabschnitt mit den Öffnungen ein aus der Schüssel nach oben herausnehmbares Wandelement mit Öffnungen ist und das Wandelement beidseitig formschlüssig mit der Schüssel verbindbar ist.This object is achieved in that in the hitherto known toilets or urinals with a connecting pipe for the Spülwasserzuführung, a bowl and a wall portion with openings, the openings in the wall portion for the passage of the rinse water into the bowl, the wall portion with the openings from the bowl upwards removable wall element with openings and the wall element can be positively connected on both sides with the bowl.
Dadurch, dass das Wandelement mit den leicht durch die Bildung von Urinstein verschmutzenden und nach und nach "zuwachsenden" und das gesamte Strömungsprofil zerstörenden Öffnungen erfindungsgemäß nicht ein Bereich der Toilettenschüssel ist, sondern - als einzelnes Teil - aus der Gebrauchslage zu Reinigungszwecken vollständig entfernt werden kann, ist eine einfache Reinigung, insbesondere der Öffnungen des Wandelements, möglich, wobei das Wandelement anschließend wieder in der Schüssel in Gebrauchslage befestigt wird oder durch ein neues ersetzt werden kann.Characterized in that the wall element with the easily by the formation of urine stone polluting and gradually "growing" and the According to the invention, the entire flow profile destructive openings is not an area of the toilet bowl, but - as a single part - can be completely removed from the use position for cleaning purposes, a simple cleaning, in particular the openings of the wall element is possible, the wall element then back in the bowl in Fixing position is attached or can be replaced by a new one.
Das Wandelement ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ausschließlich mit seinen beiden Seiten an der Schüssel befestigbar, somit kann es leicht im Rahmen einer normalen Toilettenreinigung vom Verbraucher entnommen, gereinigt und wieder hineingesteckt werden, was bei der aus der
Das erfindungsgemäße Wandelement ist als ein Teil bzw. ein Stück aus der Schüssel entnehmbar. Vorzugsweise ist das Wandelement einteilig und in einer weiteren Variante insbesondere einstückig ausgebildet.The wall element according to the invention can be removed as a part or a piece from the bowl. Preferably, the wall element is integrally formed and in a further variant in particular in one piece.
Die in Richtung des Inneren der Toilettenschüssel weisende Fläche des Wandelements ist vorzugsweise eben. Vorzugsweise ist das Wandelement in Form einer der Schüsselrundung entsprechenden, leicht gekrümmten Platte ausgebildet, die Öffnungen für den Wasserdurchtritt und Mittel zur seitlichen Befestigung an der Schüssel aufweist.The pointing in the direction of the interior of the toilet bowl surface of the wall element is preferably flat. Preferably, the wall element is in the form of a bowl-shaped, slightly curved plate formed having openings for the passage of water and means for lateral attachment to the bowl.
In Gebrauchslage, d.h. wenn das Wandelement in die Schüssel eingeführt ist und die in die Schüsselmitte weisende Seite des Wandelements mit der Schüsselinnenseite eine umlaufende nahezu vollständig glatte Oberfläche bildet, ist der Übergang zwischen den seitlichen Kanten des Wandelements und den sich daran seitlich anschließenden Kanten des oberen Bereichs der Innenfläche der Toilettenschüssel nahezu stufenlos. Anders ausgedrückt entspricht die Form der Innenseite der Toilettenschüssel mit Wandelement der Form der Innenseite einer herkömmlichen Toilette, es ist nur das Wandelement als herausnehmbares Teil ausgebildet, das als solches aus der Gebrauchslage, entfernt werden kann.In the position of use, ie when the wall element is inserted into the bowl and the center of the bowl facing side of the wall element forms a circumferential almost completely smooth surface with the bowl inside, the transition between the lateral edges of the wall element and the laterally adjoining edges of the upper Area of the inner surface of the toilet bowl almost infinitely. In other words, the shape of the inside of the toilet bowl with wall element is the shape of the inside of a conventional toilet, only the wall element is formed as a removable part, which can be removed as such from the use position.
Die erfindungsgemäße Toilette ist somit im gesamten Schüsselbereich wie eine herkömmliche Toilette einfach zu reinigen. Durch das herausnehmbare Wandelement wird jedoch noch eine weitere Reinigungsmöglichkeit im Bereich der Öffnungen eröffnet, die von herkömmlichen Toiletten nicht bekannt ist. Auch der Bereich des Zuflusses, in dem, wie später erläutert, auch Reinigungsmittel positioniert werden können, kann nach dem Entfernen des Wandelements einfach gereinigt und ein etwaiger Bakterienrasen entfernt werden.The toilet according to the invention is thus easy to clean throughout the bowl area as a conventional toilet. Due to the removable wall element, however, a further cleaning possibility in the region of the openings is opened, which is not known from conventional toilets. Also, the area of the inflow, in which, as explained later, cleaning agents can be positioned, can be easily cleaned after removal of the wall element and a possible bacterial lawn can be removed.
Die Entnahme des Wandelements (Prallwand) nebst Öffnungen ist weitaus einfacher und hygienischer als die bislang - wenn überhaupt - praktizierte Möglichkeit bei Toiletten mit oder ohne Spülrand mit in der Keramik integrierten verschmutzten Öffnungen, nämlich hinzuknien und mit einer kleinen Bürste in die verschmutzten Öffnungen hineinzufahren und diese, soweit die Bürste überhaupt in die Öffnung hineinreicht, zu reinigen.The removal of the wall element (baffle wall) together with openings is far simpler and more hygienic than the previously - practiced possibility for toilets with or without rinsing edge integrated in the ceramic dirty openings, namely kneel and drive with a small brush in the dirty openings and these, as far as the brush ever reaches into the opening to clean.
Unter "nach oben herausnehmbar" wird nicht nur eine vollständig senkrechte, sondern auch eine Entnahme von schräg oben (z.B. in einem Winkel von 70° bis 90° gegenüber der Horizontalen) verstanden.By "removable upwards" is meant not only a fully vertical, but also an oblique top (e.g., at an angle of 70 ° to 90 ° to the horizontal).
Die Öffnungen in dem Wandelement dienen zum direkten Durchtritt des Spülwassers in die Schüssel oder den Schüsselrand und nicht dazu, ein weiteres Gefäß zu befüllen.The openings in the wall element are used for the direct passage of the rinse water in the bowl or bowl edge and not to fill another vessel.
Bei dem aus der Schüssel entfernten Wandelement sind alle äußeren Oberflächen für die Reinigung zugänglich.With the wall element removed from the bowl, all external surfaces are accessible for cleaning.
Zur formschlüssigen Befestigung des herausnehmbaren Wandelements in der Schüssel bestehen verschiedene Varianten.For positive attachment of the removable wall element in the bowl are different variants.
Vorzugsweise sind die rechte und die linke Seite des Wandelements mit der Schüssel jeweils über eine Nutverbindung verbindbar. Die Nutverbindung kann beispielsweise eine Nut-Feder-Verbindung sein, wobei die Nut an der Schüssel und die Feder an der Seite des Wandelements oder umgekehrt vorgesehen sein können.Preferably, the right and left sides of the wall element are connectable to the bowl via a groove joint, respectively. The groove connection can be, for example, a tongue and groove connection, wherein the groove on the bowl and the spring on the side of the wall element or vice versa can be provided.
In einer bevorzugten Variante weist das Wandelement seitlich zwei angeformte Haltelippen auf, die jeweils in eine entsprechende Nut in der Schüssel befestigt werden können. Das Wandelement wird dabei von oben in die Nut in der Schüssel hineingeschoben. Wenn das Wandelement zu Reinigungszwecken entfernt wird, ist dann auch die Nut zu Reinigungszwecken zugänglich.In a preferred variant, the wall element laterally has two integrally formed retaining lips, which can each be secured in a corresponding groove in the bowl. The wall element is thereby pushed from above into the groove in the bowl. If the wall element is removed for cleaning purposes, then the groove is also accessible for cleaning purposes.
Ebenfalls ist eine Schwalbenschwanzverbindung zwischen dem Wandelement und der Schüssel möglich.Also, a dovetail connection between the wall element and the bowl is possible.
In einer weiteren Variante verlaufen die beiden Seitenwände des Wandelements von oben gesehen schräg zulaufend in Richtung des Schüsselinneren, so dass das Wandelement durch den Spülstrom gegen die korrespondierende schräge Fläche an der Schüssel gedrückt wird.In a further variant, the two side walls of the wall element extend obliquely in the direction of the interior of the bowl, as viewed from above, so that the wall element is pressed by the flushing flow against the corresponding inclined surface on the bowl.
Im Allgemeinen verläuft die Nutverbindung zwischen dem Wandelement und der Schüssel in vertikaler Richtung, in einer weiteren Variante verläuft die Nutverbindung zwischen Wandelement und Schüssel schräg nach oben, um einem Hochdrücken des Wandelements durch den Spülstrom entgegen zu wirken.In general, the groove connection between the wall element and the bowl extends in the vertical direction, in another variant, the groove connection between wall element and bowl obliquely upwards to counteract a pushing up of the wall element by the flushing stream.
Bei der Toilette ohne Spülrand ist es ebenfalls möglich, in der Schüssel eine Öffnung mit Mitteln für eine formschlüssige Befestigung vorzusehen, wobei sich die Öffnung an dem Ort, an dem sich üblicherweise der Wandabschnitt befindet und dem sich daran nach oben anschließenden Randstück. In diese Öffnung kann ein L-förmiges Wandelement mit horizontaler Platte so von oben hineingeschoben werden, dass sich rechts und links des Wandabschnitts die Innenseite der Schüssel und rechts und links der Oberseite der horizontalen Platte die sich an die Oberseite der Platte rechts und links anschließende Oberseite des Randes anschließt.In the toilet without flushing edge, it is also possible to provide in the bowl an opening with means for a positive fastening, wherein the opening at the place where usually the wall portion is located and the adjoining up edge piece. In this opening, an L-shaped wall element with a horizontal plate can be pushed in from above, that right and left of the wall portion of the inside of the bowl and right and left of the top of the horizontal plate which is located on the top of the plate right and left upper side of the border connects.
Wenn das Wandelement L-förmig ausgebildet ist, entspricht der lange Schenkel des L dabei dem zuvor beschriebenen vertikal verlaufenden Wandelement, an dessen Oberkante sich eine rechtwinklig verlaufende Platte (kurzer Schenkel des L) anschließt, die ihrerseits zur Abdeckung der Öffnung im Rand der spülrandlosen Toilette dient.If the wall element is L-shaped, the long leg of the L corresponds to the previously described vertically extending wall element, at the upper edge of which a rectangular plate (short leg of the L) connects, which in turn to cover the opening in the edge of the rimless toilet serves.
Die Breite des Wandelements hängt von dem Durchmesser des Anschlussrohrs ab. Die Breite sollte wenigstens der Breite des Anschlussrohrs entsprechen. Vorzugsweise ist das Wandelement zwischen 3 und 30 cm, vorzugsweise zwischen 8 und 25 cm und besonders bevorzugt zwischen 15 und 20 cm breit.The width of the wall element depends on the diameter of the connection pipe. The width should be at least equal to the width of the connection pipe. Preferably, the wall element is between 3 and 30 cm, preferably between 8 and 25 cm, and more preferably between 15 and 20 cm wide.
Dadurch, dass das Wandelement vollständig aus der Toilette entfernt und wieder eingesetzt werden kann, kann an der nicht in Richtung des Schüsselinneren weisenden Seite des Wandelements eine Halterung befestigt sein, die zur Bevorratung von stückförmigen, gelartigen oder flüssigen Reinigungsmitteln dienen kann.Characterized in that the wall element completely removed from the toilet and can be used again, can be attached to the not pointing in the direction of the bowl interior side of the wall element, a holder which can serve for the storage of piece-shaped, gel-like or liquid cleaning agents.
Nachdem das Wandelement aus der Gebrauchslage entfernbar ist, ist auch der rückwärtige Bereich des Wandelements mit der Halterung zugänglich, d.h. dass - beispielsweise im Rahmen der Entnahme des Wandelements zu Reinigungszwecken - gleichzeitig auch ein neues Reinigungsmittel in die Halterung eingefügt werden kann.After the wall element is removable from the use position, the rear portion of the wall element is also accessible with the support, i. that - for example, in the context of removal of the wall element for cleaning purposes - at the same time a new detergent can be inserted into the holder.
In einer weiteren Variante ist das Wandelement nicht L- sondern U-förmig ausgebildet, der eine Schenkel bildet die zuvor beschriebene Prallplatte, der Boden des U entspricht dem zuvor beschriebenen Schenkel des L und der weitere Schenkel des U dient dazu, den Außenrand der Toilette zu übergreifen und als Widerlager zu dienen. Bei dieser Variante, die sich für freistehende Toiletten und Pissoirs eignet, ist die formschlüssige Verbindung mit der Schüssel durch das auf die Schüssel aufgesteckte U-Profil erreicht, so dass je nach Ausgestaltung sogar die zuvor beschriebenen seitlichen Nutverbindungen entfallen können.In a further variant, the wall element is not L- but U-shaped, one leg forms the baffle plate described above, the bottom of the U corresponds to the previously described leg of the L and the other leg of the U serves to the outer edge of the toilet overlap and serve as an abutment. In this variant, which is suitable for freestanding toilets and urinals, the positive connection with the bowl is achieved by the plugged onto the bowl U-profile, so that depending on the configuration even the previously described lateral groove connections can be omitted.
Ebenfalls ist es möglich, dass der weitere Schenkel des U in Form von zwei einzelnen Schenkeln oder Stiften ausgebildet ist, die in entsprechenden vertikalen Bohrungen in der Schüssel eingreifen. Diese Variante eignet sich insbesondere für an der Wand befestigte Toiletten.It is also possible that the further leg of the U is in the form of two individual legs or pins which engage in corresponding vertical holes in the bowl. This variant is particularly suitable for wall-mounted toilets.
Das L- oder U-förmige Wandelement kann auch als Einmalartikel ausgebildet sein, vorzugsweise mit integriertem Reinigungsmittel, das dann beim Reinigen wie ein übliches WC-Körbchen befüllt oder ausgetauscht werden kann.The L-shaped or U-shaped wall element can also be designed as a disposable item, preferably with integrated cleaning agent, which can then be filled or replaced during cleaning like a conventional toilet bowl.
Das Reinigungsmittel kann auch ohne zusätzliche Befestigungsmittel direkt in das Anschlussrohr für die Wasserzuführung eingebracht werden, wobei auch eine spezielle Vorrichtung zum Dosieren in das Rohr vorgesehen sein kann (Rohr-in-Rohr-System).The cleaning agent can also be introduced directly into the connection pipe for the water supply without additional fastening means, whereby a special device for metering into the pipe can be provided (pipe-in-pipe system).
Zudem kann eine spezielle Vorrichtung zum Zudosieren wie eine Pumpe mit Batterie in das Rohr eingebracht werden.In addition, a special metering device such as a pump with a battery can be introduced into the tube.
Ein solches sich im Bereich des Zulaufs des Spülwassers in Fließrichtung vor der Schüssel und den Austrittsöffnungen und auch im Allgemeinen vor den Leitelementen befindliches Reinigungsmittel wirkt sich nicht nachteilig auf das Strömungsprofil in der Schüssel aus. Es löst sich vor jedem Spülvorgang teilweise in dem in dem Zulauf befindlichen Wasser auf und stellt somit in dem Spülwasser Reinigungs- und/oder Beduftungsmittel bereit, wie es beispielsweise auch bei den Reinigungsprodukten, die den Toilettenkästen zugegeben werden, bekannt ist.Such in the range of the inlet of the rinse water in the flow direction in front of the bowl and the outlet openings and also generally located in front of the vanes cleaning agent does not adversely affect the flow profile in the bowl. It dissolves before each flushing partially in the water in the inlet and thus provides in the rinse water cleaning and / or fragrancing ready, as it is known, for example, in the cleaning products that are added to the toilet boxes.
Alternativ kann das Reinigungsmittel auch an der in Richtung des Spülwasserzulaufs gerichteten Seite des Wandelements angeklebt werden, wobei entweder klebende viskose Reinigungsmittel, die beispielsweise aus der
In einer weiteren Variante der Erfindung ist wenigstens ein Teilbereich des Wandelements durchsichtig oder weist ein Sichtfenster auf, so dass der Verbraucher überprüfen kann, ob Reinigungsmittel nachgefüllt werden muss.In a further variant of the invention, at least a portion of the wall element is transparent or has a viewing window, so that the consumer can check whether cleaning agent has to be refilled.
Es versteht sich, dass das Wandelement an der in Richtung des Anschlussrohres weisenden Seite Führungsflächen und/oder an der Seite und/oder unten Öffnungen aufweist, die eine Führung und Verteilung des Wassers in den gewünschten Bereich der Schüssel bewirken.It is understood that the wall element on the facing in the direction of the connecting pipe side guide surfaces and / or on the side and / or bottom openings, which cause a guidance and distribution of the water in the desired area of the bowl.
Auf diese Weise ermöglicht die vorliegende Erfindung nicht nur, dass Sanitärgegenstände im Bereich der Öffnungen einfach zu reinigen sind, sondern ermöglicht erstmals auch eine einfache Unterhaltsreinigung spülrandloser Toiletten , ohne dass das Strömungsprofil in der Schüssel beeinträchtigt wird.In this way, the present invention not only makes it easy to clean sanitary objects in the area of the openings, but for the first time also enables simple maintenance cleaning of rimless toilets without adversely affecting the flow profile in the bowl.
Das erfindungsgemäße Wandelement kann aus unterschiedlichen Materialien hergestellt sein wie beispielsweise Kunststoff, Edelstahl, Glas oder auch Keramik.The wall element according to the invention can be made of different materials such as plastic, stainless steel, glass or ceramic.
Ebenfalls ist möglich, das Wandelement aus Kunststoff herzustellen und anschließend mit Keramik oder anderen Materialien zu verblenden.It is also possible to produce the wall element made of plastic and then to veneer with ceramic or other materials.
Bevorzugt wird Kunststoff, ggfs. mit Keramik verblendet, eingesetzt, da ein separates Kunststoffteil einfach herstellbar ist, leicht zu reinigen ist und sich bei der Herstellung gegenüber Keramikteilen auch Toleranzen weitaus besser einhalten lassen.Preferably, plastic, if necessary. Faced with ceramic used, since a separate plastic part is easy to manufacture, easy to clean and can be tolerances far better comply with the production compared to ceramic parts.
In einer weiteren Variante können einige oder alle Öffnungen mit Düsen ausgestaltet sein, um eine bessere und gezieltere Ausrichtung des Spülwasserstrahls in der Toilette zu ermöglichen. Diese Düsen können starr sein oder auch bei Betätigung der Spülung durch den Wasserdruck in Richtung der Schüssel herausfahrbar sein. Generell kann durch die Düsen in Abhängigkeit von deren Form und Ausrichtung auch eine andere Verteilung und Ausrichtung der einzelnen Spülwasserstrahle in der Toilette ermöglicht werden. Somit wird durch das entfernbare Wandelement, das Öffnungen mit Düsen aufweist, auch ermöglicht, gerade im Bereich starker Verschmutzung oder weniger stark benetzter Stellen das Strömungsprofil zu verbessern.In a further variant, some or all openings may be designed with nozzles in order to allow a better and more targeted alignment of the rinse water jet in the toilet. These nozzles can be rigid or can be moved out in the direction of the bowl even when the rinse is actuated by the water pressure. In general, depending on their shape and orientation, a different distribution and orientation of the individual rinse water jets in the toilet can be made possible by the nozzles. Thus, the removable wall element, which has openings with nozzles, also makes it possible to improve the flow profile, especially in the area of heavy soiling or less wetted areas.
Im Gegensatz zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Zusatzbehältern, die in der Schüssel befestigt werden, entfällt bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Wandelement auch eine Behälterrückwand, zwischen der und dem Inneren der Schüssel sich weiterer Schmutz und Urinstein ansammeln kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Wandelement weist vorzugsweise keine an der Innenwand der Schüssel oder dem inneren Rand der Toilette direkt anliegende Fläche auf, vielmehr wird es nur seitlich oder in einem von dem Schüsselinneren entfernten Bereich der Toilette gehalten. Insofern können sich auch keine Verschmutzungen zwischen zwei aneinander anliegenden Wänden in oder nahe des Toilettenbeckens festsetzen.In contrast to the known from the prior art additional containers that are mounted in the bowl, omitted in the wall element according to the invention also a container rear wall, between which and the interior of the bowl, further dirt and urine stone can accumulate. The wall element according to the invention preferably has no on the inner wall of the bowl or the inner edge of the toilet directly fitting surface, but it is only laterally or in one held away from the bowl interior of the toilet. In this respect, no dirt between two adjoining walls in or near the toilet bowl can fix.
Zudem ist das erfindungsgemäße Wandelement auch nicht an einer herkömmlichen Schüssel zusätzlich zu befestigen, sondern das Wandelement ist an einer speziellen Schüssel ohne Wandabschnitt befestigbar und ergibt, hineingesteckt in die Schüssel ohne Wandabschnitt, dann eine üblich geformte Toilette, bei der jedoch im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik der Wandabschnitt entnommen werden kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Wandelement bildet einen entfernbaren Teil der Toilette oder des Urinals und ist kein zusätzlicher Vorratsbehälter.In addition, the wall element according to the invention is not to be attached to a conventional bowl in addition, but the wall element is fastened to a special bowl without wall section and results, inserted into the bowl without wall section, then a usual shaped toilet, but in contrast to the prior Technique of the wall section can be taken. The wall element according to the invention forms a removable part of the toilet or urinal and is not an additional reservoir.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung ist auch, dass der erfindungsgemäße Sanitärgegenstand auch im institutionellen Bereich einsetzbar ist, da er eine hygienische und einfache Unterhaltsreinigung ermöglicht.Another advantage of the present invention is also that the sanitary article according to the invention can also be used in the institutional field, since it allows a hygienic and simple maintenance cleaning.

Bei der Toilette 11 ist im rückwärtigen Bereich der Toilettenschüssel 12, d.h. nahe dem Wasseranschlussrohr 23, anstelle des herkömmlichen, als Prallwand fungierenden Wandabschnitts ein Wandelement 20 mit Öffnungen 21 vorgesehen, das aus der Schüssel 12 entfernt werden kann. Während des Spülvorgangs prallt das aus dem Anschlussrohr 23 in Richtung der Schüssel 12 fließende Wasser "von hinten", d.h. in Richtung des Pfeils A in

Der seitliche Übergang zwischen dem Wandelement 20 und der Schüssel 12 sollte nahezu stufenlos sein, d.h. die Sichtseite 34 des Wandelements 20 sollte nahezu stufenlos in die Innenwand 18 der Schüssel übergehen, um Verschmutzungen im Übergangsbereich zu vermeiden, aber auch um insgesamt den Eindruck eines einheitlich umlaufenden "runden" Schüsselrands zu vermitteln.The lateral transition between the
Zur Befestigung wird das Wandelement 20 bei dieser Ausführungsform einfach von oben in die Nuten 27 in der Schüssel 12 hineingeschoben. Am unteren Ende weisen die Nuten 27 in den Rohrraum 23 endende Öffnungen auf, so dass auch etwaige Verunreinigungen in den Nuten 27 herausgespült werden können. Nachdem sich die Nuten 27 außerhalb des Schüsselinneren und der Öffnungen 21 befinden, können diese nicht wie die Öffnungen 21 mit Urinstein verschmutzen.For attachment, the

Zur Reinigung der leicht verschmutzenden Öffnungen 21 in dem Wandelement 20 (und auch der Schüssel 12) wird das Wandelement 20 aus der Schüssel 12 entfernt (herausgezogen) und beispielsweise in einem Waschbecken mit Wasser und ggf. einer Bürste und Urinsteinentferner oder Ähnlichem gereinigt oder in einem dafür vorgesehenen Spülautomaten (Steckbeckenspüler, erhältlich bei der Firma Hagmann oder der Firma Topol) gereinigt.To clean the slightly polluting
Nach Entfernung des Wandelements 20 kann nun auch die Schüssel 12 auf einfache Weise mit einer Bürste gereinigt werden, da sämtliche Flächen, die durch Spritzer aus dem Toilettenraum möglicherweise verunreinigt werden können, direkt durch einfaches Durchfahren mit der Bürste von oben geputzt werden können, ohne Bücken oder Verwendung von Spezialbürsten für unzugängliche Stellen.After removal of the
Dadurch, dass die Öffnungen 21 durch die Entnahmemöglichkeit des Wandelements 20 einfach zu reinigen sind, kommt es nicht mehr dazu, dass sich die Öffnungen 21, wie es im Stand der Technik der Fall ist, langsam mit Urinstein zusetzen und das Strömungsprofil gestört wird, bis die Schüssel 12 dann nicht mehr vollständig von Spülwasser benetzt wird.Due to the fact that the
Im Vergleich zu den herkömmlichen Toiletten ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Toilette 11 der Wandabschnitt 20 mit den Öffnungen 21, gegen den das Spülwasser aus dem Anschlussrohr 23 von hinten prallt, nicht Teil der Keramikschüssel, sondern ein separates entfernbares Teil.Compared to the conventional toilets in the

Da dieses U-förmige Wandelement 20 den oberen Rand der Schüssel 12 durch die Anlage an drei Flächen umgreift und somit eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit der Schüssel 12 erreicht wird, ist in dieser Variante die zusätzliche Befestigung durch die seitliche Nut 27 nicht unbedingt erforderlich.
