Definitions
- the present invention relates to an overflow device of a flushing tank for sanitary appliances (toilets, urinals, etc.), and a flush valve of a flushing tank provided with such a device.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an overflow device of a flushing tank for sanitary appliances (toilets, urinals, etc.), and a flush valve of a flushing tank provided with such a device.
- In general, a flushing tank is provided with a flush valve, which is actuated to flush the water contained in the tank into the sanitary appliance to be flushed, and a feed mechanism, which fills the tank up to a predetermined level, after each activation of the flush valve.
- A flush valve of a flushing tank commonly comprises a support structure, which can be fixed to a bottom wall of the tank and is provided with a drain hole bordered by a sealing seat, and a valve body housed so as to slide in the support structure and provided at the bottom with a shutter cooperating with the sealing seat to close the drain hole; the valve body is lifted by means of suitable actuator members controlled by the user.
- The valve body is usually a tubular element, having open axial ends, which also performs the function of the overflow tube.
- An overflow device is in fact necessary to avoid that, for example, following a failure of the feed mechanism and/or of the flush valve, the water continues to enter the tank exceeding the maximum predetermined level and then overflowing from the tank, flooding the room which the tank is installed in.
- The known flushing devices provided with overflow tubes are generally satisfactory, but still have room for improvement.
- For example, since the flow of water which the overflow tube is able to dispose of essentially depends on the size of the tube, in particular on the inner cross-section and the length of the same, and/or on the ratio between length and cross-section of the tube, to ensure an adequate flow it is necessary to provide suitably sized tubes, but this can lead to problems of cost and/or space.
- In addition, under certain conditions turbulence phenomena may occur at the entrance of the overflow tube, phenomena which reduce the theoretical efficiency of the overflow tube.
- In particular, it has been found that the flow of water entering the overflow tube brings with it a certain amount of air, which reduces the flow of water running through the tube. Air also enters the tube from the bottom, further reducing the disposal efficiency of the overflow tube.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an overflow device of a flushing tank for sanitary appliances (toilets, urinals, etc.), optionally associated with a flush valve of the flushing tank, which is simple, effective and reliable.
- In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide an overflow device, optionally included in a flush valve or connected to it, which makes it possible to drain a high flow of water, in a simple, effective and reliable manner.
- The present invention therefore relates to an overflow device for a flushing tank, and a flush valve with overflow device as defined in the appended
claims 1 and 7 respectively. - The overflow device according to the invention makes it possible, in an extremely simple, effective and reliable manner, to ensure an adequate disposal capacity of the water.
- In particular, the specific conformation of the overflow tube makes it possible to avoid or significantly reduce the entrance of air into the tube, not just from the upper opening, but also from the lower opening of the tube, thereby increasing the flow of water disposed and consequently, the speed and the overall efficiency of the device.

upper tube portion 21 extends along the axis A from thetop end 16 downwards (i.e., toward the lower end 17); and thelower tube portion 22 extends along the axis A from thelower end 17 equipped with theshutter 8, upwards (i.e. towards the top end 16). - With reference also to
figure 2 , thenarrowing 20 is positioned between theupper tube portion 21 and thelower tube portion 22 and has an internal cross-section smaller than the internal cross-section of the upper andlower tube portions - The
narrowing 20 is defined by a variation of the internal transverse cross-section (perpendicular to the axis A) of thetube 15, i.e. the cross-section available for the passage of water inside thetube 15. - In particular, the

connection portion 25, positioned towards thebottom end 17 of thetube 15 and thus connected to thelower tube portion 22, has a lateral recess and has a substantially trapezoidal longitudinal cross-section. Theconnection portions - In use, the
tube 15, as well as acting as a valve body in normal operation of the flush valve 1, also acts, in case of need, as the overflow pipe. - When the water level in the tank, for example as a result of a failure of the feed mechanism and/or of the flush valve, exceeds the
top end 16 of thetube 15, the water enters thetube 15 through the inlet opening 18. - The flow of water entering the
tube 15 tends to bring air with it, but the specific conformation of thetube 15 makes it possible to avoid or significantly reduce the entrance of air in thetube 15, both from above and from below, and thus increases the flow of water disposed of and consequently the speed and the overall efficiency of thedevice 2. - In the variant shown in
