Description

The invention relates to a hunting device

  two quantities of water for a cistern, comprising

  as a container filled with water, constituting a greater weight

  , which is raised when the small amount of flushing water is released and loads the closure member and which remains at rest when the

large amount of hunting water.

  A hunting device of this type is known in

  the state of the art according to the European patent application

  pean EP-A-0 722 020, filed by the applicant of this application. In this flushing device, in the case of a partial flushing operation with the closure member, an additional weight is lifted and, with it, the closure member. When the closure member is lifted, the latter is loaded by the additional weight. The weight

  additional acts in such a way that the closing member

  ture is brought prematurely into the closed position at

  against the driving force of a float of the device

  positive emptying. In the case of a flushing operation with the entire volume of water, the additional weight remains applied to the housing of the emptying device. The additional weight then has no effect on the operation of

  flush and the closing member then remains in the posi-

  tion corresponding to the opening of the valve, until

  that for example 6 or 9 liters of water are delivered.

  The small amount of water is usually understood-

  between 3 and 4 liters. The optimal amount of water for a small flushing operation essentially depends on the embodiment of the toilet bowl. Too much flushing water should be avoided for economic and ecological reasons. On the contrary, a very small amount of water is not admissible at least for hygienic reasons. For the reasons stated, there is a need for a two-quantity flushing device, in which the amount of water from the partial flushing operation can be adjusted in one

  simple and precise way at the place of installation.

  The device for flushing two quantities of water according to the invention is characterized in that the container filled with water comprises means, by means of which the

  amount of water acting as weight is adjustable.

  In the two-quantity flushing device according to the invention, the quantity of water acting as

  weight is adjustable. If we reduce this quantity, the quan-

  amount of hunting water for hunting with low quan-

  tity of water increases. An increase in this quantity on the contrary has the effect of reducing the quantity of hunting water corresponding to a hunting operation with a

small amount of water.

  According to a variant of the invention, there is provided a drawer, by means of which an opening of a window in a side wall of the container is adjustable. When the additional weight is lifted, part of the water comes out of the container into the indicated opening and the value of the

  additional weight is reduced correspondingly.

  The larger this opening, the more water leaves the container chamber during the closing operation. Correspondingly, when the window is completely closed, said quantity remains

  in the container and acts as additional weight.

  The opening can be adjusted gradually and

  therefore precise adjustment of the amount of water per-

  tielle is possible. Adjustment of the drawer can be done on site in a simple way, when the flushing device is installed. The manufacture of the device for flushing two quantities of water according to the invention is particularly simple when the drawer is snapped onto the pot. For the implementation of the invention, it suffices to provide

  an opening in the pot and a drawer. If consistent

  ment to a variant of the invention, the drawer has an edge, which engages over the pot, this edge can be used as a handle for adjusting the drawer or

  opening, allowing convenient and safe control.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the drawer comprises at least one latching lug, which

clicks into the window.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the drawer is supported and guided, at its end

  lower, on a slide arranged inside the pot.

  Other features and advantages of the pre-

  sente invention will emerge from the description given below

  after reference to the accompanying drawings, on the-

  which: - Figure 1 shows a view of the two-quantity hunting device according to the invention;

  - Figures 2a to 2c show schematically-

  the window opening setting.

  Figure 1 shows a common emptying system 2, which is mounted in a flushing tank not shown here, for WCs In the emptying device 2 is mounted a closure body 3, which can be lifted at a leg 4 comprising a lever 6 of a device

  not shown here. Here the farmer-

  ture 3 simultaneously constitutes an overflow tube and

  has a corresponding opening 5. If the closing member

  measure 3 is lifted, the valve of the emptying device 2

  is open and the flushing water can flow back into the tank

  see hunting and descend into the toilet bowl not shown here. A float arranged in the device

  emptying 2 and not shown here prevents the iron member from

  meture 3 falls prematurely on the valve seat of the device 2. In this case, the total amount of flushing water, which includes for example 6 or 9 liters of

  hunting can escape from the hunting tank.

  On the emptying device 2 is mounted an additional weight 18 which consists essentially of a

  container 9 and an eyelet 8 formed by molding on this container

  pient. This additional weight 18 can also be supported.

  lifted with a lever 7 of the actuating device. In this case, the closing member 3 is raised as well as this weight

  additional 18. When the closing member 3 is

  lifted, it is loaded by the additional weight 18. Before

  a complete emptying of the flushing tank, the iron organ

  measure 3 is forced back, against the

  upward force of the float, on the opening

  pope not shown here. Construction details in this regard can be taken from document EP-A-0 722 020 already

cited above.

  The additional weight 18 consists for a large part of the water 19 which is located in a chamber 20 of the pot 9, which is open upwards and is

  approximately cylindrical. The closing device 3 trav-

  pours a central opening 21 of the pot 9. In a side wall 15 of the pot 9 is arranged a rectangular window

  pot 13 behind which is a drawer 10.

  In the position shown in Figure 1, the drawer 10 completely covers the window 13. In this case the window 13 is closed. An upper edge 9 constituting a rim

  forms a handle, with which you can move manually-

  the drawer 10 in the direction of the double arrow 22.

  Consequently, an opening 17 can be created in the window 13. The size of this opening 17 can be

  gradually adjusted by means of a corresponding displacement

drawer front 10.

  When the additional weight 18 is placed in the position shown in Figure 1, the pot 9 in accordance with Figure 2 is completely filled with water 19. When lifting the additional weight 18, the pot 9 is lifted above the water level present

  in the flush tank. If window 13 is complete-

  ment closed by the drawer 10, the total amount of water 19 acts as additional weight. But if an opening 17 is present in the pot 9 according to Figures 2b or 2c, part of the water 19 leaves the chamber 20 during the flushing operation. The additional weight is then reduced correspondingly. It follows that the closure member 3 remains raised longer and that consequently a greater quantity of flushing water can leave the flushing tank. Under the effect of the movement of the drawer 10, it is therefore possible to adjust the amount of flushing water during a partial flushing operation. This quantity is approximately in

the range between 3 and 4 liters.
