Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toilet seat joint according to the preamble of claim 1 and a toilet seat set designed with such a toilet seat joint.
  • a toilet seat and a toilet lid of a toilet seat set are connected to one another via two seat hinge arrangements.
  • Each seat joint arrangement has a rotary damper to which an adapter piece is assigned, on which a receptacle for placing the seat set on ceramic-side pins is assigned.
  • This adapter piece can also be made in one piece with the rotary damper.
  • the rotary damper and the adapter piece form a physical swivel axis supported on the ceramic and on which the seat set is directly or indirectly supported. This swivel axis is integrated into the seat set so that the space requirement is minimal.
  • a spring ring or the like can be used in the circumferential wall of the receptacle, which locks into a groove formed on the respective ceramic-side hinge pin when the seat set is placed on it. By overcoming this latching force, the seat set can be removed from the hinge pins very easily with minimal effort (take-off function).
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a toilet seat joint and a toilet seat set designed with such a toilet seat joint, in which the take-off function is guaranteed with a minimum of outlay on equipment.
  • the toilet seat joint according to the invention is designed with a physical pivot axis on which a toilet seat or a toilet lid is mounted directly or indirectly.
  • This pivot axis is designed with a continuous or one-sided closed receptacle, which is designed to be placed on a ceramic-side hinge pin.
  • a latching element is provided in this receptacle, via which the hinge pin can be latched to the pivot axis.
  • this locking element is formed on a spring bushing, which is inserted into the receptacle in a force-locking and / or form-locking manner and into which the hinge pin dips.
  • the anchoring of the spring bushing is relatively simple, since this anchoring only has to be designed in such a way that it withstands the latching force that has to be overcome in order to remove the toilet seat set.
  • the pivot axis is in principle formed by a damping device and an adapter piece, wherein the adapter piece can be connected to the damping device in one piece or in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the receptacle for the hinge pin is then formed accordingly on this pivot axis.
  • the spring bushing has at least one latching projection which resiliently plunges into a corresponding latching groove in the hinge pin.
  • the latching can be further improved if several latching projection sections are formed on the spring bushing along a circumferential circle.
  • the spring bushing is designed with two diametrically arranged locking projections.
  • a jacket end section of the spring bushing remote from the ceramic can be tapered in the radial direction, so that this tapering forms a stop for the hinge pin, on which the hinge pin rests at the end in the put-on position of the pivot axis.
  • the at least one latching projection is designed with two flat or curved flanks that are positioned relative to one another and that are assigned corresponding inclined surfaces on the hinge pin that influence the push-on or pull-out resistance.
  • a flank that first comes into contact with the hinge pin in the attachment direction determines the insertion resistance.
  • the pull-out resistance is then determined accordingly by an inclined surface formed on the locking groove and the further flank of the locking projection. Accordingly, the pull-out resistance or the push-on resistance can be adapted in a simple manner to the respective conditions by suitable adjustment of the flanks / inclined surfaces.
  • the production of the spring bushing is particularly simple if it is made from an elastic plastic or a metal, for example a spring steel.
  • the spring bushing can have a continuous longitudinal slot.
  • the elasticity of the latching projections can be varied relatively easily in that they are each delimited on both sides by slots, so that the latching projections are cut free in approximately a tab-shaped manner on the circumference of the spring bushing.
  • barb-like projections are formed on the spring bushing, preferably in the area of ceramic-side end faces, which are designed to be non-positively or positively attachable to the peripheral wall of the pivot-axis-side receptacle in order to fix the spring bushing in the receptacle.
  • the immersing section of the hinge pin can be stepped back according to the wall thickness of the spring bushing, so that an optimal radial guidance is guaranteed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a highly schematic sectional illustration of a toilet seat set according to the invention fastened to a ceramic
  • FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional basic illustration of a toilet seat joint according to the invention
  • FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 representations of a spring sleeve of a toilet seat joint according to Figure 1;
  • FIGS. 6, 7 basic representations for explaining the function of a spring bush according to FIGS. 3 to 5 and
  • FIGS. 8, 9 show a further exemplary embodiment of a spring bushing for a toilet seat joint according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of a toilet seat set 1 with a toilet lid 2 and a toilet seat 4, which are connected to a ceramic 10 via two toilet seat joints 6, 8 arranged coaxially with one another.
  • Two hinge pins 14, 14 ' are attached to a support surface of the ceramic 10, each of which is locked to one of the toilet seat joint arrangements 6, 8.
  • each toilet seat joint arrangement 6, 8 has a rotation damper 16, 18, with the rotation damper 16 damping the lowering movement of the cover 2 and the rotation damper 18 damping the lowering movement of the seat 4 in the embodiment shown in FIG.
  • a receptacle 24, 26 is formed in each adapter piece 20, 22, into which the assigned hinge pin 14, 14 'dips when it is placed.
  • This receptacle 24, 26 is designed as a blind hole or a continuous stepped bore, the hinge pin being seated with a shoulder on a corresponding shoulder of the stepped bore or the blind bore.
  • the hinge pin 14, 14 ' can also be designed in a stepped manner, wherein the annular shoulder formed by the step can be supported in the stepped bore or on the outer circumference of the adapter piece.
  • a spring bushing 28, 30, on which a locking element is formed is used for locking in the receptacle 24, 26.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partially sectioned individual illustration of the toilet seat joint 6, which has the same structure as the seat joint 8, not shown in FIG.
  • the seat joint 6 has a rotary damper 16, the cylinder housing 32 of which is connected to the adapter piece 20 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • Each rotary damper 18 has a rotary piston 34 (see also FIG. 1), which is only indicated by dashed lines in the illustration according to FIG.
  • the sectional plane in the representation according to FIG. 2 runs in the axial direction along the receptacle 24, so that the spring bushing 28 inserted into the receptacle 24 is visible.
  • the spring bushing 28 has two locking projections 36, 38 arranged diametrically to one another, only one of which is visible in the illustration according to FIG. These latching projections protrude resiliently in the radial direction into the receptacle 24 and, in the latched state, interact with a corresponding circumferential groove of the hinge pin 14, 14 '- this will be discussed below.
  • the spring bushing 28 is shown in several views in FIGS. 3 to 5. It can be seen from these figures that the spring bushing 28 is designed in the form of a sleeve, the jacket of the spring bushing 28 being designed with a continuous longitudinal slot 40.
  • the gap width S and the diameter D of the spring bushing 28 are selected so that it can be inserted into the receptacle 24 with a press fit, so to speak, the clear width S of the longitudinal slot 40 then being reduced and the spring bushing 28 being held in the receptacle 24 with pretension .
  • four barb-shaped projections 42a, 42b, 42c, 42d are formed on the ceramic-side end face of the spring bushing 28, which are approximately triangular or sawtooth-shaped, the tips being bent outwards in the radial direction so that the enveloping circle around the tips of the Projections 42 have a larger diameter than the outer diameter D of the jacket of the spring sleeve 28.
  • the aforementioned longitudinal slot 40 lies between the two projections 42a, 42d and thus fulfills a double function (determination of the radial elasticity of the spring bushing 28 and improvement of the spring action of the projections 42).
  • two spring tabs 46a, 46b are formed which are arranged diametrically to one another and which are each cut free by two slots 48a, 48b and 50a, 50b.
  • each spring tab 46a, 46b is designed with the locking projection 36, 38 protruding inward in the radial direction.
  • the spring bushings 28, 30 are made from a spring steel, so that the shape of the spring tabs 46a, 46b and the other components can be made by punching and bending.
  • the spring bushings 28, 30 can also be made from an elastic plastic.
  • the jacket sections 54, 56 extending between the two diametrically arranged spring tabs 46a, 46b are approximately cylindrical so that the latching projections 36, 38 accordingly extend inward in the radial direction from the enveloping of these jacket sections 54, 56.
  • the overhead end section of the spring sleeve jacket on the seat set side in FIGS. 3 and 4 is inclined inward in the radial direction, so that a chamfer-like jacket end section 58 results.
  • FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal section through the spring bushing 28 according to FIGS. 3 and 4, the sectional plane running through the two diametrically arranged slots 44a, 44c and thus centrally through the opposing spring tabs 46a, 46b.
  • the latching projections 36, 38 formed by the two spring tabs 46a, 46b, which extend inward toward one another in the radial direction.
  • the rear spring slot 44b can be seen in the middle between the two spring tabs 46a, 46b, which opens out between the two projections 42c, 42d of the ceramic-side end face of the spring bushing 28.
  • the spring sleeve 2 is on the Jacket end portion 58 tapers conically.
  • the jacket sections 54, 56 lying between the spring tabs 46a, 46b can be cylindrical or else in accordance with the approximately S-shaped curvature of the spring tabs 46a, 46b.
  • FIG. 6 shows a basic illustration with the spring bushing 28 inserted into the receptacle 26 of the adapter piece 20, the hinge pin 14 being inserted somewhat into the receptacle 26 with its end section.
  • the hinge pin 14 has a circumferential groove 60 that has a rounded or trapezoidal cross section.
  • the profile of the circumferential groove 60 is trapezoidal, this being delimited by an inclined surface 62 at the top in FIG. 6 and a lower inclined surface 64, which open into a groove base 66.
  • the latching projection 38 formed in each case on the two spring tabs 46a, 46b is also approximately trapezoidal in the illustrated embodiment with a slip-on flank 68 and a pull-off flank 70.
  • the locking projection 36 is designed accordingly.
  • the end face of the hinge pin 14 is designed with a bevel 72, the inclination of which is adapted to that of the push-on flank 68.
  • the latching projection 36, 38 slides along the slip-on flank 68 on the bevel 72, the latching contour of the latching projections 36, 38 being elastically deformed outwards and, accordingly, the one above the latching projections 36 , 38 lying areas of the spring tabs 46a, 46b are moved inward in the direction of the arrow.
  • the inside diameter of the spring bushing 28 it can be pushed further onto the hinge pin 14 until the locking projection 36, 38 engages resiliently in the circumferential groove 60 and the upper end portions of the Spring bushing 28, 30 with the inclined casing end section 58 spring back into contact with the peripheral wall of the receptacle 24, 26.
  • the hinge pin 14 is stepped back in the region with which it dips into the spring bushing 28, 30.
  • the pull-off resistance is first determined by the contact of the pull-off flanks of the locking projections 36, 38 with the overhead inclined surface 62 of the circumferential groove 60 of the hinge pin 14.
  • the clear width of the latching contour is then widened in accordance with the above explanations by the inclined contact of the aforesaid pull-off flank 70 on the inclined surface 62, so that the spring bushing 28 slides with the pull-off flank 70 on the inclined surface 62.
  • the toilet seat set 1 can then be removed from the hinge pins 14, 14 'until the two locking projections 36, 38 with the slip-on flanks 68 below can again come into contact with the bevel 72 of the hinge pin (see Figure 6) - the toilet seat set can then be removed without any additional effort.
  • this pulling-off due to the above-described latching contour, there is, so to speak, a condensing contact between the inclined surfaces 62 and the pull-off flanks 70, the pull-off force being adjustable by the position and length of the ramps.
  • This pressing of the locking contour against the circumferential wall of the receptacle 24 is accompanied by an increased pressing of the radially outwardly protruding triangular projections 42a, 42b, 42c, 42d against the circumferential wall of the receptacle 24, so that the increased non-positive / positive connection causes pulling out the spring bushing 28 is reliably prevented from the receptacle 40.
  • the solution described above has a number of advantages over conventional solutions.
  • the bore geometry of the receptacle 24, 26 can thus be designed without undercuts, so that the production is significantly reduced compared to the solutions described above, which all require an undercut in the receptacle.
  • Another essential advantage is that when the toilet seat set 1 is plugged onto the two hinge pins 14, 14 ', there is a clear haptic and auditory feedback through the locking of the locking projections 36, 38.
  • the push-on and pull-out forces can furthermore be set independently of one another via the geometry of the aforementioned inclined surfaces 62, 64 and the flanks 68, 70.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show a further exemplary embodiment of a spring bushing 28, 30 according to the invention.
  • the basic structure is in principle the same as in the exemplary embodiment described above.
  • the spring bushing 28 has a cylinder jacket, with two spring tabs 46a, 46b arranged diametrically to one another being cut free via two slots 48a, 48b, 50a, 50b.
  • Each spring tab 46a, 46b in turn has a latching contour with the geometry described above.
  • each spring tab 46a, 46b has a locking projection 36, 38 which protrudes inward in the radial direction and which can each have a push-on flank 68 and a pull-off flank 70 (see FIGS. 6, 7).
  • the projection 42 supporting the wedging in the receptacle 24, 26 is designed circumferentially so that it also rests circumferentially on the circumferential wall of the receptacle 24, 26.
  • Butted jacket end sections 58a, 58b are each formed only in the area of the spring tabs 46a, 46b.
  • the jacket sections 54, 56 lying in between are designed as comparatively smooth-surfaced cylinder jacket segments.
  • the section-wise configuration of the spring bushing 28, 30 by the inclined casing end sections 58a, 58b is particularly clearly visible in FIG. 9, which shows a top view of the spring bushing 28 according to FIG.
