Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge for a toilet seat assembly formed from a lid and a seat, comprising a rotary damper for braking the lowering movement of the lid or the seat about a pivot axis of the toilet seat assembly, an adapter piece coaxially coupled to the rotary damper along the pivot axis, a hinge pin, in a receiving bore formed in the adapter piece engages, and a mounting base attachable to a toilet bowl, on which the hinge pin is held. Furthermore, the invention relates to a toilet seat assembly with a lid, a seat and a fastening device for attachment to a toilet bowl, wherein the fastening device comprises two hinges.
  • a designated for a toilet seat hinge hinge of the aforementioned type is from the EP 1 199 020 B1 known.
  • the hinge pin engages in a receiving bore of a coaxially coupled to a rotary damper adapter piece.
  • the receiving bore of the adapter piece is here as Formed blind hole having a hole bottom, which prevents the complete passage of the hinge pin through the adapter piece transverse to the pivot axis. Since in the mounting position of the adapter piece inserted during installation of the toilet seat assembly in the receiving hole free end of the hinge pin rests in the assembled state of the hole bottom of the receiving bore, comparatively large bearing forces act on the hinge pin, making it necessary to perform the hinge pin particularly stable to damage to the Prevent hinge.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a hinge of the type mentioned in such a way that it is designed to be particularly stable with a relatively simple construction. It is another object of the invention to provide a toilet seat assembly with a fastening device which is intended for attachment of the toilet seat set to a toilet bowl and has particularly compact hinges.
  • the hinge according to the invention for a toilet seat assembly formed from a lid and a seat comprises a rotary damper for braking the lowering movement of the lid or the seat about a pivot axis of the toilet seat assembly, an adapter piece coaxially coupled to the rotary damper along the pivot axis, a hinge pin inserted into one in the Adapter piece formed receiving bore engages, and attachable to a toilet bowl mounting base on which the hinge pin is held.
  • the hinge further comprises an at least the adapter piece enveloping the outer tube having a through hole through which the hinge pin engages in the receiving bore of the adapter piece, wherein the receiving bore of the adapter piece is formed as a through hole and the outer tube has a contact surface formed on a support surface formed on the mounting base rests.
  • the bearing forces are absorbed by the hinge pin, which at the hole bottom in the adapter piece rests trained blind hole is kept free in the hinge according to the invention of the engaging into the receiving bore of the adapter piece hinge pin of support forces.
  • For the invention provides to receive the bearing forces by a bearing surface formed on the mounting base on which a contact surface rests, which is provided on an outer tube surrounding the adapter piece.
  • the hinge pin which engages in the receiving bore, as a result of which the hinge can be made considerably more stable than heretofore.
  • inventive renouncement of a formed in the adapter piece blind hole in favor of a through hole simplifies the manufacture of the adapter piece.
  • the adapter piece can be easier to clean if necessary, which is advantageous for reasons of hygiene.
  • the outer tube has a perpendicular to the tube longitudinal axis (or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hinge pin) aligned investment socket, the end face of which forms the resting on the support surface of the mounting base contact surface.
  • the abutment neck may for example be designed as a laterally to the outer tube attaching, short piece of pipe surrounding the formed in the outer tube through hole. The attachment base facing end surface of this pipe section then forms the contact surface which is in contact with the support surface of the mounting base.
  • the abutment neck is formed integrally with a tubular body of the outer tube. This favors a particularly compact construction of the hinge according to the invention.
  • the contact surface of the outer tube and the bearing surface of the mounting base are conical surfaces. Due to the conicity of the aforementioned surfaces, it is possible during assembly in a particularly simple manner to align the outer tube in the correct position on the mounting base and put it there.
  • the hinge pin is latched in the receiving bore of the adapter piece.
  • the receiving bore of the adapter piece has a lateral insertion, in which an elastically deformable planar element sits, which projects laterally into the receiving bore, and that the hinge pin at its free end a tapered portion and an adjoining Rastkopf has, which is widened opposite the tapered section.
  • the adapter piece when attaching the toilet seat set to the toilet bowl, the adapter piece is inserted with its receiving bore on the hinge pin, so that the locking head passes through the elastically deformable sheet member until the tapered portion of the hinge pin is held in the sheet member.
  • the elastic resistance of the sheet-like element When removing the toilet seat assembly then the elastic resistance of the sheet-like element must be overcome to release the locking head of the hinge pin from the sheet-like element.
  • the receiving bore of the adapter piece may also have an annular groove in which an elastically deformable ring member is seated, which projects radially into the receiving bore. In this case, the connection and release of the locking head with or from the ring element takes place.
  • the mounting base is a disk-shaped member having a bore for receiving the hinge pin and a slot for receiving a fastener attachable to the toilet bowl.
  • the fastener is, for example, part of a threaded connection, such as a threaded rod, onto which a nut is screwed to lock the mounting base to the toilet bowl.
  • the slot allows a variable within limits positioning of the mounting base on the toilet bowl.
  • the outer tube and the mounting base are made of plastic and / or metal, for example, and thus cost-effective and easy to clean, at least in the first case.
  • the toilet seat assembly according to the invention has a fastening device with which the Toilet seat assembly is attachable to a toilet bowl, said fastening device comprises two hinges of the type explained above.
  • the outer tubes of the two hinges are formed from tube sections of a one-piece outer tube.
  • the two hinges are preferably arranged at opposite ends of the one-piece outer tube.
  • the respective rotational damper which is coaxially coupled with the associated adapter piece along the pivot axis, is arranged outside the one-piece outer tube.
  • one of the two rotary dampers brakes the lowering movement of the cover and the other rotary damper the lowering movement of the seat.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a fastening device 10, which serves to attach a formed from a lid and a seat toilet seat assembly to a toilet bowl. To simplify the illustration are in FIG. 1 the toilet bowl and toilet seat to be attached to it omitted.
  • the fastening device 10 comprises two in FIG. 1 Hinges, generally designated 12 and 14, which allow the lid and seat of the toilet seat set to pivot about a pivot axis S for lowering or raising.
  • the two hinges 12 and 14 have a common, one-piece outer tube 16 and a respective disk-shaped mounting base 18 and 20, respectively.
  • the outer tube 16, for example, made of plastic has two abutment 22, 24, which are aligned perpendicular to the coinciding with the pivot axis S tube longitudinal axis and put in later explained in more detail manner on the associated mounting base 18 and 20 respectively.
  • the two hinges 12, 14 each have an arranged inside the outer tube 16 adapter piece, along the pivot axis S coaxial with a in FIG. 1 not shown, arranged outside the outer tube 16 rotational damper is coupled.
  • FIG. 1 are the two hinges 12, 14th each associated adapter pieces shown and designated 26, 27 there.
  • the two adapters contained in the outer tube 16 interact with their associated rotary dampers in a conventional manner such that one of the two rotary damper brakes the lowering movement of the lid and the other the lowering movement of the seat.
  • the two hinges 12, 14 are designed substantially identical. In the following, therefore, with reference to the FIGS. 2 to 12 only the structure of the hinge 12 explained in detail.
  • the hinge 12 forming components are in their entirety in the Figures 3 . 6 . 7 and 8th shown. It shows FIG. 3 a section through the in FIG. 2 represented level AA and FIG. 7 a section through the in FIG. 5 shown level BB.
