Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating device for a concealed cistern with an opening defining a mounting frame, which is associated with an inspection opening of the concealed cistern, an actuator plate having at least one control element for triggering a water flush, and a to be arranged in the interior of the concealed cistern container for receiving a fragrance and / / or cleaning agent, wherein the actuating plate is movably mounted on the mounting frame to allow access to the container and to fill it with the or new perfume and / or detergent.
  • Concealed cisterns are known in various designs.
  • Conventional concealed cisterns have a box body, in the front wall or top of an inspection opening is formed.
  • Functional parts such as drain valve and filling valve, are mounted in the box body via the inspection opening.
  • the inspection opening allows access to the functional parts mounted in the box body.
  • the inspection opening is usually combined with an actuator plate.
  • An actuating plate may in this case have at least one operating element for triggering a rinsing process.
  • a manually operable button such as a push-button or rocker switch, may be provided.
  • the actuating device can also be sensor-controlled and / or time-controlled.
  • the actuator plate may be provided with a proximity sensor (proximity switch) or a capacitive touch sensor.
  • Sanitary objects such as toilet bowls or urinals can have different types of supply of cleaning agents and / or fragrances.
  • a basket-shaped container with a usually formed as a solid body detergent with fragrance is hung in a toilet bowl in the area in which the fresh rinse water flows into the bowl. With each rinse, a relatively small amount of the fragrance-containing detergent is mixed with the rinse water so as to effect a desired cleaning effect and fragrance development simultaneously with the rinsing process.
  • a device for supplying cleaning agents and / or fragrances, which are available in the form of cleaning tabs, can be realized by a basket-shaped container, which is to be arranged in the cistern.
  • the basket-shaped container contains a cleaning agent, wherein in the filled state of the cistern, at least a portion of the container is disposed below the water level to allow a discharge of the detergent to the rinse water.
  • the cover of the inspection opening of the sanitary sink or the actuator plate is removed and fill in the basket-shaped container a new detergent portion or a new cleaning tab.
  • a new detergent portion or a new cleaning tab can still refill in freely accessible prewall cisterns having a removable cover-like cover on their top.
  • sanitary cisterns in Wall installation that is in flush-mounted, realized.
  • the interior of concealed cisterns is generally no longer accessible to the user in a simple manner.
  • the actuating unit for triggering a flushing operation in a concealed cistern with a placeable in front of a wall opening actuator plate.
  • the actuating unit comprises a collecting basket for receiving a water treatment agent and an intermediate frame arranged between the cistern and the actuating plate, wherein between the intermediate frame and the actuating plate movable rods are provided, via which the actuating plate from a wall opening closing installation position in a wall opening releasing opening position for loading the catcher is transferable.
  • One of the rods is designed as a push / turn rod, while the other rod is designed as a fixing pin. To open the actuator plate must be pulled forward of the intermediate frame and then pivoted down about the axis of the push / turn bar, which is substantially perpendicular to the opening plane.
  • an actuator for a concealed cistern with a mounting frame which has a front hinged actuating plate.
  • the actuator plate is for this purpose connected via a holding frame with the mounting frame, wherein the holding frame is pivotally connected to the mounting frame.
  • the inspection opening of the cistern is released, whereby a detergent in the form of a toilet tab can be inserted through a chute in the cistern.
  • the filling of the cistern with detergent is thus also possible for a flush-mounted cistern.
  • Access to the inspection opening is possible with this actuator, however, only by a pivoting movement of the actuator plate. Therefore, they work flush in the wall built-in actuator plates, as desired by many customers, not with this known solution.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an actuator for a concealed cistern available, which allows easy access to the inspection opening and thus convenient filling of a container arranged in the cistern with perfume and / or detergent. Furthermore, the developed solution should be particularly suitable for flush with the wall final actuator plates. In addition, the actuator should be inexpensive to produce and easy to install.
  • the actuating plate has at least two spaced apart webs on its back, by means of which the actuating plate is mounted on the mounting frame, that the actuating plate initially by a translational movement and subsequent pivoting (Turning) can be transferred from a position closing the inspection opening into a position releasing the inspection opening, the pivot axis of the actuating plate extending substantially parallel to an opening plane defined by the installation frame.

  • the actuating plate is first translationally away from the mounting frame, so moved in translation in space and then pivoted.
  • the pivot axis in this case runs essentially parallel to the opening plane defined by the installation frame. This results in the largest possible opening between the actuator plate and mounting frame and inspection opening, whereby a comfortable filling of the arranged in the cistern container with perfume and / or detergent is ensured.
  • the webs are arranged on the back of the actuator plate, a simple assembly of the actuator is possible because it thus has a very small number of components to be mounted or is composed of relatively few components. Due to the small number of components also the manufacturing time of the actuator is reduced and simplifies their maintenance.
  • the arranged on the back of the actuator plate webs can also be referred to as arms.
  • the webs (arms) are preferably elongated.
  • the webs are preferably designed to be flexible, so that their ends can be moved towards each other elastically to be able to solve the webs and thus the actuator plate of the mounting frame can.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the actuating device according to the invention is characterized in that the respective web is provided at its end with a projection, wherein the projection engages in a provided on the mounting frame guide.

  • the stop region of the guide preferably has a greater width than the remaining part of the guide.
  • the respective guide is preferably formed substantially U-shaped or substantially loop-shaped. If the guide is substantially U-shaped, then it is the two legs connecting bow facing the front of the mounting frame while the opening of the U-shaped guide faces the interior of the concealed cistern.
  • the engaging in the guide projection of the web is preferably formed in the form of a cylindrical pin. The length of the web can be a multiple, for example, more than three times the outer diameter of the pin.
  • the respective web has a guide into which a provided on the mounting frame pin (pin) engages.
  • a guide has, in which a arranged on the mounting frame pin engages, also a bearing can be achieved in a relatively inexpensive manner, which allows both a translational movement of the actuator plate, as well as a pivoting movement of the actuator plate.
  • the guide is preferably designed such that the actuating plate only after maximum translational pulling movement (displacement), so when the pin has reached the stop of the guide, is pivotable (rotatable).
  • the stop region of the guide preferably has a greater width than the remaining part of the guide.
  • the guide is formed in this alternative embodiment of the actuator according to the invention, for example in the form of a slot or a longitudinal groove in the arranged on the back of the actuator plate web.
  • the engaging in the guide pin or projection of the mounting frame is preferably formed in the form of a cylindrical pin.
  • the length of the slot or the longitudinal groove may be a multiple, for example, more than 3 times or 4 times the outer diameter of the pin (pin).
  • the pivot axis of the actuating plate extends horizontally.
  • a horizontal pivoting movement then arises, depending on the pivoting direction of the actuator plate, above or below the actuator plate an opening through which detergent and / or perfume can be placed in the container arranged in the cistern.
