Abstract

The invention relates to a lever device bearing on a twin-level shim by means of which it is possible to limit the travel of the flushing mechanism control and thereby to limit the quantity of water discharged. This device can be used without modifying existing fixtures, provided that the flushing mechanism is controlled by pulling the control rod upwards, this control rod being situated generally in the axis of the tank lid. It consists of a twin-level shim which comprises two limit stops and on which there bears a lever which, by being pulled upwards to a greater or lesser extent, activates the control rod of the flushing mechanism and allows all or part of the contents of the tank to escape. This device comprising the lever (1) and the shim (2) is placed on the lid of the flushing tank.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour économiser l'eau dans le fonctionnement des chasses de W.C. Elle se situe dans le domaine des installations sanitaires. The present invention relates to a device for saving water in the operation of toilet flushes. It is located in the field of sanitary installations.

Les techniques existantes ayant un but identique imposent, soit le remplacement des bassins, soit des modifications importantes des sys tèmes d'échappement de l'eau. Existing techniques with an identical aim require either the replacement of the basins or significant modifications to the water exhaust systems.

Cette invention, qui ne nécessite aucune modification des installations existantes, concerne plus particulièrement les W.C. dont les bassins de chasse sont placés à l'arrière de la cuvette et dont le système est commandé par une tige équipée d'un bouton faisant saillie dans l'axe du couvercle du bassin. This invention, which does not require any modification of existing installations, relates more particularly to WCs whose flushing basins are placed at the rear of the bowl and whose system is controlled by a rod fitted with a button projecting into the axis of the basin cover.

L'invention se caractérise par un dispositif permettant de limiter la course de la commande de la chasse et de permettre un choix de la quantité d'eau à libérer, c'est à dire, une faible quantité pour les éxcréments liquides ou bien la totalité du contenu pour les éxcréments solides. The invention is characterized by a device making it possible to limit the stroke of the flush control and to allow a choice of the quantity of water to be released, that is to say, a small quantity for liquid excrement or else all content for solid droppings.

Ce dispositif comprend un levier articulé sur un axe (3) se dépla çant suivant un angle de 45" environ pour prendre appui sur une cale à double hauteur. La pression éxercée sur ce levier a un effet déterminant sur la commande de la chasse suivant qu'il est disposé sur l'une ou 1' autre partie de la cale. En effet, la quantité d'eau libérée est réduite si le levier prend appui sur la partie basse de la cale, par contre si le levier prend appui sur la partie haute de celle-ci, c'est la totalité de l'eau qui est libérée. This device comprises a lever articulated on an axis (3) moving at an angle of about 45 "to rest on a double height block. The pressure exerted on this lever has a determining effect on the control of the flush depending on whether 'it is placed on one or the other part of the wedge, because the quantity of water released is reduced if the lever is supported on the lower part of the wedge, on the other hand if the lever is supported on the upper part of it, all of the water is released.

La figure 1 représente le dispositif vue en plan. Le levier ( est placé indifféremment d'un côté ou de l'autre de la tige (3). I1 est figuré en trait plein reposant sur la partie haute de la cale, et en pointil sur la partie basse. Sa fixation sur l'articulation (3) permet son déplacement. Figure 1 shows the device in plan view. The lever (is placed indifferently on one side or the other of the rod (3). It is shown in solid line resting on the upper part of the wedge, and in dotted line on the lower part. Its fixing on the articulation (3) allows its displacement.

La figure 2 vue A A, représente le système de cale à double hauteur (2) qui est posée et éventuellement collée sur le couvercle du bassin de chasse (5). Figure 2 view A A, shows the double height wedge system (2) which is placed and optionally glued to the cover of the flushing basin (5).

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comprend une pièce (2) formant cale à double hauteur et sur laquelle le levier (1) prend appui, soit sur la partie haute soit sur la partie haute de cette cale. Ce levier (1) comprend à l'une de ses extrémités une surface élargie par rapport à sa section courante et sur laquelle on exerce une pression.  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a part (2) forming a wedge with double height and on which the lever (1) is supported, either on the upper part or on the upper part of this wedge. This lever (1) comprises at one of its ends a surface enlarged relative to its current section and on which pressure is exerted.

L'autre extrémité comprend un trou d'un diamètre légérement supérieur à celui de la tige (3) de la commande de la chasse, que l'on fait passer dans ce trou après avoir dévissé le bouton (4) de commande existant et l'avoir remis en place. La pression exercée sur l'extrémité du levier (1) a pour effet d'actionner vers le haut la tige de la chasse (3) en exerçant une pression sur la partie inférieure du bouton (4).The other end comprises a hole with a diameter slightly greater than that of the rod (3) of the flush control, which is passed through this hole after unscrewing the existing control button (4) and l 'have put back in place. The pressure exerted on the end of the lever (1) has the effect of actuating the flushing rod (3) upwards by exerting pressure on the lower part of the button (4).

Suivant la position du levier (1), soit sur la partie haute ou sur la partie basse de la cale (2), le bouton (4) monte plus ou moins haut et libère ou une faible quantité d'eau ou la totalité du contenu.Depending on the position of the lever (1), either on the upper part or on the lower part of the wedge (2), the button (4) rises more or less high and releases either a small amount of water or all of the contents .

La course du levier (1) ainsi que la pression à exercer sur le bouton (4) sont modulables du fait que la cale (2) peut se placer à une distance variable de son-axe;(3). The stroke of the lever (1) as well as the pressure to be exerted on the button (4) can be adjusted because the wedge (2) can be placed at a variable distance from its axis; (3).

La cale (2) présente une butée (7) à chacune de ses extrémités, limitant le déplacement du levier (l) sur l'arc~de~cercle dont le centre.: est l'axe de la tige (3) The wedge (2) has a stop (7) at each of its ends, limiting the movement of the lever (l) on the arc ~ of ~ circle whose center: is the axis of the rod (3)
