Definitions

  • This invention refers to a device for regulating the height of a cistern flushing mechanism, the purpose of which is to lock and improve the regulation of height of a means of activating the cistern flushing mechanism.
  • the invention patent with the publication number ES 2258900 is known about, which consists of a system to block regulating elements of a cistern which is destined to prevent the involuntary turning of height regulating elements fitted inside the cistern, so that the regulating elements are associated with guide screws, wherein the coupling between these and the surfaces said screws abut, and said coupling includes male and female parts which prevent involuntary turning and unscrewing.
  • the document ES1053738U discloses a device for regulation and rapid anchoring of pieces of variable length, especially mechanisms for actuating tank dischargers and positioning of floats of the filling valves thereof, where there is a linearly movable rod through the hole of a support piece linked to the element that has to block it in the correct position, characterized in that the support piece includes a bushing of axial passage of the rod provided with an end portion threaded externally and with at least one diametral cut that produces grooves in its wall and that start from the end, where a locking nut is secured, further provided that said locking nut include at its distal end, an internal annular thickened trapezoidal section that defines a taper that in the clamp comes to connect with a conical chamfer of the bushing adjacent to the thread.
  • the centred hole of the main body of the flushing mechanism comprises a conduit defined by two facing extensions which start from the upper base of the main body, said conduit also passing through the upper base of the main body.
  • the two facing extensions are fitted inside a circular orifice comprising a tightening part coupled around said facing extensions which comprise a neck-like structure; wherein some of the outer faces of the facing extensions are in contact with the edge of the orifice of the tightening part which has gyratory mobility around the facing extensions.
  • the two facing extensions have inner opposing portions which face opposite portions of the long part; wherein, in a locking position of the long part, the tightening part deforms the facing extensions causing the axial retention of the long part through the mediation of the inner opposing portions of the two facing extensions, and,in a release position, the tightening part does not deform the facing extensions, the long part having axial mobility.
  • Some of the upper edges of the facing extensions have internal wings facing the opposing portions of the long part and other external wings; wherein the tightening partis axially retained between the upper base of the main body and the outside wings of the two facing extensions.
  • the tightening part incorporates two opposing projections which protrude above an upper face of said tightening part and which are at the height of the external wings of the facing extensions; wherein, in the locking position of the long part, said projections press against the external wings through mediation of the two opposing projections which protrude above the upper face of the tightening part; and wherein, in the release position of the long part, the opposing projections are not in contact with said external wings of the facing extensions.
  • the opposing projections of the facing extensions are adjacent to the orifice of the tightening part; wherein inner areas of the projections are a continuation of the annular surface which defines the orifice of the tightening part.
  • the long part comprises a rod consisting of two transversal striations and two longitudinal wings disposed in a perpendicular plane with respect to the plane where the transversal striations, which face the inner opposing portions of the two facing extensions which form part of the main body of the flushing mechanism, are found.
  • the longitudinal wings fit into opposing grooves as a means of guiding the axial movement of the long part when it comes to positioning it at the required height.
  • Said opposing grooves are defined between pairs of opposing edges of the facing extensions and between other pairs of opposing edges which define open slits of the upper base of the main body; wherein said open slits communicate with the interior space of the orifice located in said upper base.
  • the rod of the long part comprises two pairs of collateral grooves between which are located some initial sections of the longitudinal flaps.
  • a lower face of the tightening part includes two opposing nerves which are complemented by two pairs of protrusions in opposition which start from the upper base of the main body; wherein, when the tightening part is located in an anchoring position in which the tightening part deforms the facing extensions causing the axial retention of the long part, the two opposing nerves click into place into each of the channels defined by these pairs of protrusions blocking the tightening part from turning.
  • the orifice of the tightening part is reinforced by two annular ribs corresponding to the upper and lower opposing faces of said tightening part.
  • the opposing projections protrude above the annular rib disposed in the upper face of the tightening part.
  • the device of the invention is applicable to flushing mechanisms wherein the link between the flushing mechanism and the push mechanism is a set of facing disks which should be regulated to the correct height: a disk which forms part of the push mechanism and the extreme disk which forms part of the long part, all according to the height of the cistern so that, once the regulation has been made, they should be perfectly fixed to prevent said regulation from being lost due to continued use.
  • the main body has been equipped with an elastic coupling mechanism comprising the two facing extensions which define the conduit through which the rod of the long part, which also includes the extreme activation disk on which the push mechanism disk has an impact when it is activated, shall move axially.
  • the way of locking the long part at the required height is achieved by means of the tightening part, so that once the long part has been axially positioned in the appropriate position, the tightening part turns one quarter turn, passing from an unlocked or inactive position to a locking or anchoring position in which the opposing projections of said tightening part are pressing against the external wings of the two facing extensions and the internal wings of said facing extensions are pressing against the transversal striations of the long part.
  • the cistern cover is positioned so that the push mechanism disk and the extreme disk of the long part are in contact, so that its rod slides axially to the upper operating limit of the flushing system to then activate the push mechanism so that the disks are located at the correct operating height.
  • the device for regulating the height of a cistern flushing mechanism comprises a long part (1), the height of which is regulatable, fitted inside a conduit (2) defined by two facing extensions (3),which comprise a wraparound neck-like structure and which start from an upper base (4a) of a main body (4),which forms part of a cistern (6) flushing mechanism (5), said conduit (2) also passing through the upper base (4a) of the main body (4).
  • the two facing extensions (3) of the neck are separated by two opposing grooves, wherein said facing extensions (3) have upper edges wherein they form internal wings (3a) and external wings (3b), under which a tightening part (8), which has an orifice (9), is coupled around the two facing extensions (3) of the neck, wherein some outside faces of the two facing extensions (3) of the neck fit precisely into said orifice (9).
  • Said opposing grooves also pass through the upper base (4a) of the main body (4) of the flushing mechanism (5), forming in said upper base (4a) two open slits (7) which form part of the aforementioned opposing grooves.
  • Said tightening part (8) is axially retained between the upper base (4a) of the main body (4) and the external wings (3b) of the two facing extensions (3). Whereas the internal wings (3a) of said facing extensions (3) are in contact with the long part (1).
  • Said long part (1) can be firmly anchored in different positions to locate an upper edge of the long part (1) which faces a lower edge of a push mechanism (19) fitted in a cover (6a) of the cistern (6), so that by pressing said push mechanism (19) it moves the main body (4) of the flushing mechanism (5) downwards through the mediation of the long part (1), thus causing the cistern (6) to empty through its outlet pipe.
  • the long part (1) comprises a rod (1 a) and an extreme disk (1 b) with which a part of the push mechanism comes into contact when it is pressed in order to activate the flushing mechanism (5) and empty the cistern (6).
  • the rod (1 a) of the long part (1) has two transversal striations (10) and two longitudinal flaps (11) disposed in a plane which is perpendicular to the plane wherein the transversal striations (10) are found, so that the longitudinal flaps (11) fit into the opposing grooves to guide the movement of the long part (1) when it comes to positioning it at the required height.
  • the rod (1 a) of the long part (1) comprises two pairs of collateral grooves (12) between which some initial sections of the longitudinal grooves (1 1) are located.
  • the transversal striations (10) of the long part (1) face the internal wings (3a) of the two facing extensions (3), so that the tightening part (8) being in an anchoring position, some sharp edges of the internal wings (3a) of the facing extensions (3) press in opposition against the two transversal striations (10) of the long part (1).
  • the tightening part (8) presses against the external wings (3b) of the facing extensions (3) through the mediation of two opposing projections (13) which protrude above an upper face of the tightening part (8) and which are adjacent to the orifice (9) of said tightening part (8).
  • a lower face of the tightening part (8) opposed to the upper face includes two nerves (14) in opposition which are complemented by two pairs of protrusions (15) in opposition which start from the upper base (4a) of the main body (4), so that when the tightening part (8) is located in the anchoring position, the two nerves (14) click into place into each of the channels (16) defined by these protruding pairs (15), thus ensuring said anchoring position.
  • the tightening part (8) turns until the opposing projections (13) of the tightening part (8) come into radial contact with the two external wings (3b) of the facing extensions (3) and the nerves (14) of the tightening part (8) fit into the channels (15) defined by the pairs of protrusions (15) of the main body (4) of the flushing mechanism (5).
  • the orifice (9) of the tightening part (8) is reinforced by two annular ribs (17), (18) corresponding to the upper and lower faces of said tightening part (8), respectively; wherein the opposing projections (13) protrude above the annular rib (17) disposed in the upper face of the tightening part (8).
  • the device of the invention is applicable to flushing mechanisms (5) wherein the link between the flushing mechanism (5) and the push mechanism (19) is a set of facing disks which should be regulated to the correct height: a disk (19a) which forms part of the push mechanism (19) and the extreme disk (1 b) which forms part of the long part (1), all of which according to the height of the cistern (6), so that once the regulation has been made, they should be perfectly fixed to prevent said regulation from being lost due to continued use.
