Description

The present invention relates to devices for filling,

  empty and pour the overflow through the same hole positioned in the bottom of containers, such as, bathtub,

container or tank.

  Currently, the containers especially in the sanitary, such as, bathtubs, are filled from above, using

  one or two faucets, depending on the sophistication of the faucet

  This principle has the great disadvantage of being noisy and has a spillway at the top of the container suitable for depositing foam, difficult to clean, becoming a bacterial place.

  The device of the present invention allows a filling of

  by the bottom of the containers, so elimination of the noise; In addition, the overflow discharging through the same inlet facilitates the cleaning of containers Another advantage of the device lies in the removal of plugs, overflow tubes and protective grids that clog

community dives.

  The device, object of the invention, comprises a conventional siphon positioned under the lower opening of the bottom of the container, which siphon is extended by a pipe for the discharge of wastewater A particularity of the invention lies in that in the sewage pipe is positioned by any suitable means a vertical valve which controls the emptying of the container Said valve can be operated remotely from the top of the container, through a rod or other suitable mounting. Another particularity of the invention lies in the positioning of a vertical duct forming substantially an inverted V, which is placed on the discharge duct so that one of its ends is upstream of the valve and the other end downstream Said vertical duct, on the one hand, serves as spillway overflow container, and, on the other hand, contains in the upper part a float that stops, with the assistance of an automatic faucet (such as those used in toilet flushing), the arrival of the liquid in the container at a predetermined height The automatic stop valve is positioned on the liquid supply duct, which conduit opens into the siphon to touch the hole in the bottom of the container and is oriented

to the container.

  The different ducts and pipes can be lead, copper, cast iron, etc. and assembled by any means

  Suitable, such as, welding, collar.

  The figures appended hereto illustrate by way of nonlimiting example embodiments that will allow

  to better understand the invention with the text below.

  elevation of the device applied to a bathtub.

  FIG. 6 represents a side view, in elevation,

  of the device with a variant in the security system.

  Figure 7 very succinctly represents a simplification

  application of the device.

  As represented in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the device is positioned on a bath 1 having only one orifice on the bottom provided with a plug 2 under which is positioned a siphon 3 which is extended by a vertical duct 4 to the upper part of said bath, which vertical duct 4 comprises a downwardly directed branch 5 receiving a duct 6 whose lower end 7 is connected to the sewage discharge pipe 8. Said pipe 8 has an end 9 which is connected to the siphon 3, opposite the bung 2, on a horizontal plane below said bung 2, so as to allow complete evacuation of waste water from the bathtub 1 The pipe 8 encloses a valve 10, between its end 9 and the connection of the duct 6, controlled from the top of the bath 1 by means of a rod 11 and a

  12 rotating handle for draining waste water.

  The ducts 4 and 6 spanning the drain valve, play the role of weir overflow of the bath 1, moreover, in the upper part of the duct 4 is introduced a float 13 which actuates an automatic valve 14 via 'an articulated rod 15 which passes through the

  cap 16 of the conduit 4 by an orifice provided for this purpose.

  Which automatic valve 14 (commonly sold commercially) is positioned on the water pipe 17 which opens

  on the siphon 3 very close to the drain 2 of the bathtub 1.

  When the filling of the bath 1, controlled by the taps 18, reaches a predetermined height, with the principle of communicating vessels, this liquid height is found in the conduit 4 which encloses the float 13, which triggers the automatic cock 14 stopping filling. The bung 2 (see Figure 4) of the bath consists of a grid 19 which pivots through a small hinge 20 on a threaded tube 21 for cleaning

  easier siphon 3 and faster filling.

  Figure 6 shows a variant according to Figure 1, in that the automatic valve 14 and the conventional valves 18 have been removed and replaced by a mixing valve 22 inverter wall-mounted shower The inverter mixer 22 is controlled by a handle 23 pivoting on a vertical plane, which handle carried in the high position A allows the filling of the tub through the bottom opening and the duct 4 also filling carries the float to a predetermined height pivoting the rod 15 at its point 24 thus reducing the handle 23 at its central closing position B Said handle brought into

  position C controls the shower jet not shown.

  Figure 7 shows a simplification of the device

applied on a container.

  The bottom of the container 25 is provided with a siphon divided in two, consisting of a fixed part 26 on which pivots a second movable part 27 which extends parallel to the

  container wall and is equal to the height of the latter.

  For filling the second part 27 is directed upwards under the tap 28 and for the emptying, this same

  part is oriented downward on the outlet mouth 29.

  The device, object of the invention, is more particularly

  designed for bathtubs, but can be applied to all containers, vats, bowls, cisterns, etc.
