Description

Water saving accessory in tanks toilets

Water saving accessory in tanks toilets characterized by comprising a polyhedral body or limited by quadric surfaces, closed or susceptible to closed by a lid or similar, with a volume previously default depending on the tank and water to save, whose  inside of said body is completely or partially filled of a solid or liquid equal to or heavier than water, said body or accessory being housed inside the tank.

Background of the invention

They are known in the current state of the art different patents and utility models, which have as Water saving purpose. Said savings always focus on mechanisms or devices that reduce the water output of the toilet cistern.

Thus, Spanish Patent No. 200303025 is known, of the year 2003, on behalf of Mr. José BLANCO GUTIERREZ and Mr. Juan SANZ LIGHT, which refers to a quantified saving device for water in toilets by double discharge, with a single button that it operates by moving upwards an overflow cannon tube, provided of a float capable of keeping the device open until the complete discharge if there were no more forces acting on said cannon tube that own weight, and also has an overweight variable arranged at an intermediate height, than in a first Instant pulsation acts together with the weight of the set closing outlet valve before total emptying, leaving a volume water presetting in the cistern; while doing a second press during the filling of it, it remains lifted the barrel tube and open the outlet valve to the total evacuation of the cistern after the overweight has disappeared variable, it is enough that the second press is Instant to get the complete download.

Utility Model No. is also known 200500550, of the year 2005, on behalf of Mr. Francisco GARIJO MONTES, consisting of a water dispenser for toilet cistern characterized by being a mechanism, made of injected plastic or similar, installed in the cistern formed by a structure "Y" shaped tubular with different upper arms length sealed by the valves that open at will with the independent buttons, so that the button produces the opening of the valve causing a partial discharge of water from the cistern, which, from its filling level, passes to another level at drain through (s). In the other possible option, the button produces the opening of the valve passing the water of the level of filling to emptying.

Brief description of this utility model

This utility model assumes a considerable progress in water saving and management, especially For toilets.

As noted in the background of the invention, inventions always point to an improvement in water discharge management, better adjusting devices to avoid unnecessary water losses, even offering the possibility of managing downloads, half download or download whole

The inventors propose a turn in conception of saving water, changing the way to deal with the problem. The inventors have observed that most of the tanks currently in the market they have a capacity far superior to the which is actually needed for cleaning the toilet, therefore, They have designed an accessory, which depending on the tank will be one volume or another, to be arranged inside, occupying the unnecessary volume of water.

This way you can save a great amount of water, which will be explained in more detail in the concrete embodiment of the invention.

One of the most important characteristics of the present invention is the ease of installation, not being required no technician for this: it is enough to lift the cover of the tank and introduce the accessory. It can also be used in all tanks in the market and even with those tanks that incorporate systems outlined in the background of the invention.

Since water is a scarce resource, preaching for various levels its most rational use the This invention adapts to current savings needs of water.

It is an object of the present invention a accessory for saving water in toilet tanks that are characterized in that it comprises a polyhedral body or limited by closed or liable quadrical surfaces by a cover or similar, with a previously predetermined volume in function of the tank and water to be saved, whose interior of said body is completely or partially filled with a solid or a liquid equal to or heavier than water, said body or accessory inside the tank.

Brief description of the drawings

In order to facilitate the explanation, A sheet of drawings accompanies this document has represented a practical case of realization, which cites Sample title, not limiting the scope of this invention:

- Figure 1 is a sectioned view inside  of a toilet cistern for the purpose of this invention.

Concrete realization of the utility model

Thus, in figure 1 a cistern 1 is illustrated, with water inside 2, a means of emptying the tank 3, a body or accessory 4 and a buoy 5.

In this way, in a specific embodiment, fill the inside of accessory 4 with a solid or a liquid equal to or heavier than water 2. It is covered and closed hermetically.

Subsequently it is introduced inside the cistern 1 and wait for said cistern to be filled with water 2. When the water reaches the level set by buoy 5, the Water will stop flowing inside the tank 1.

Therefore, the volume of water that will be discharged it will be that of cistern 1 minus the volume occupied by accessory 4, which means that it has entered inside the cistern 1 a less water than was needed before.

At the time of emptying the cistern, the discharge means 3 are used as of now, being able to even half download or entire download, as until now.

For purely statistical purposes, most of the tanks have the capacity to house 7 to 10 liters of water, when 2 liters are sufficient for minor waste and 4 to 5 liters for adults. This means that a large wasted amount of drinking water

Below is a small table in the  that the advantages and water savings of the present are indicated accessory.

The row and column intersection gives savings annual in liters per person.

Volume occupied (liters) Number of times the tank is unloaded one person 4 5 6 7 0.7 1022 1278 1533 1789 0.8 1168 1460 1752 2044 0.9 1314 1643 1971 2300 one 1460 1825 2190 2555 1.1 1606 2008 2409 2811 1.2 1752 2190 2628 3066 1.3 1898 2373 2847 3322 1.4 2044 2555 3066 3577 1.5 2190 2738 3285 3833 1.6 2336 2920 3504 4088 1.7 2482 3103 3723 4344

The possibility of the accessory is planned  4 can incorporate some feet, which raise it and let the water pass 2 below you.

This utility model describes a new accessory for saving water in toilet tanks. The Examples mentioned here are not limiting here. invention, therefore it may have different applications and / or adaptations, all of them within the scope of the following claims.
