Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hinges for toilet seat arrangements, by means of which toilet covers, such as toilet lids or toilet seats, are pivotably mounted on toilet bodies, according to claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to toilet seat arrangements with such hinges.
  • a toilet cover is typically mounted pivotably on hinges, which in turn are mounted on the toilet body. Swivel dampers arranged on the hinges make it possible to dampen the swiveling of the toilet cover. If toilet bodies, which are mostly made of ceramic, have unevenness on the surface, it is often difficult or even impossible to attach the toilet cover to the toilet body. If the toilet cover is incorrectly positioned, the functionality and service life of the swivel damper can also be impaired. Although unevenness could be leveled out by using wedges, yielding materials, etc., this proves to be impractical in practice. For this reason, toilet bodies are usually produced with a low level of fault tolerance, which, however, increases the production costs.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying hinges and toilet seat arrangements which overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

  • the connecting section 9 comprises a hinge section 10 and the receptacle 11 comprises - as in FIG Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 is clearly recognizable - a correspondingly shaped joint receptacle 13. If - as in Figure 3 shown - the joint section 10 lies in the joint receptacle 13, the two form a joint around which the first hinge part 3 can be pivoted relative to the second hinge part 4.
  • the illustrated joint section 10 is partially spherical formed, the sphere deviating from the spherical shape by two surfaces 16, 16 ', which form part of a pivot lock 15, the connection for a shaft section 23 and the connection for a remaining section 24 of the first hinge part 3.
  • the two, in the Figures 3 to 5 Clearly recognizable, spherical connected components of the joint section 10 allow the joint to be pivoted due to their curvature together with their corresponding counterparts of the joint receptacle 13.
  • the joint section 10 is at least partially cylindrical.
  • a cylindrical joint shape allows pivoting on only one axis, namely the cylinder axis.
  • a spherical joint shape can allow pivoting on two or more, preferably a family of, axes.
  • the joint makes it possible to compensate for unevenness, in particular an inclined surface of the toilet body 8, so that the hinge 1 can be installed even with imprecisely manufactured toilet bodies 8 without shear forces acting on the swivel section 5, which could otherwise impair the service life of the swivel damper 6 .
  • the joint can also be designed to allow pivoting about at least one further second axis (not shown), preferably about a one-dimensional family of second axes, so as to divide unevenness into different To be able to compensate for directions.
  • the at least one further second axis is preferably also essentially orthogonal to the first axis A.
  • the connecting section 9 and the receptacle 11 are designed so that after just a few degrees the shaft section 23 or other parts of the connecting section 9 hit parts of the receptacle 11 and thus prevent further pivoting in this direction.

  • an elastically mounted tab 14 which delimits the joint receptacle 13.
  • the tab 14 can yield and thus enable the joint section 10 to be received in the joint receptacle 13, after which the tab 14 can snap back again due to the rounded shape of the joint section 10 shown.
  • the tab gives way again, so that the joint section 10 can be released from the joint receptacle 13 again.
  • the joint can be secured against pulling out of the joint section 10 by a form fit formed by a securing element 20, as is the case for example in FIG Figures 3 and 4 is shown.
  • the connecting section 9 shown has a shaft section 23. This is preferably completely received by the receptacle 11 in the joint-forming state.
  • the shaft section 23 is separated from the rest of the first hinge part 3 by the hinge section 10.
  • the connecting section 9 and in particular the shaft section 23 are elongated and the resulting long lever can contribute to the stability of the hinge.
  • the Shank section 23 at least twice as long as joint section 10.
  • the shaft section 23 also has a securing recess 18 for receiving a securing element 20.
  • the second hinge part also has securing recesses 19.
  • the hinge shown is designed in such a way that, in the joint-forming state of the hinge 1, the securing recesses 19 of the second hinge part 4 and the securing recess 18 of the first hinge part 3 at least partially overlap, so that a securing element 20 can be inserted into the securing recesses 18, 19, which, like in the Figures 3 and 4 is shown, the connection of the first hinge part 3 and the second hinge part 4 is secured by a form fit.
  • Figure 4 shows a toilet seat arrangement 2 in which a toilet seat 21 is pivotably mounted on the pivot section 5 and a toilet lid 22 is pivotably mounted on a further pivot section 5 '.

  • the securing element 20 and / or the mounting element 29 can also be designed so that frictional forces It is more difficult to pull the securing element 20 out of the bearing element 29, and in particular from its head 34.
  • the second hinge part 4 can be covered by a cover 26 which - in addition to optical advantages - can also offer protection of the securing element 20 from being accessed and accidentally released.
  • FIG. 6 shows a hinge 1 on which a toilet seat 21 is pivotably mounted.
  • the swivel section 5 is covered by a mounting eyelet 37 of the toilet seat 21 and other parts of the hinge 1 are covered by covers 26, so that an optically advantageous image results in normal use.
  • Figure 7 shows a cross section through a plane Figure 6 .
  • the connecting section 9 is designed essentially as a spherical joint section 10 and without a shaft section 23.
  • the receptacle 11 is designed essentially as a spherical joint receptacle 13. A distance between the second hinge part 4 and the pivot section 5 allows sufficient play when pivoting about the joint.
