Abstract

Apparatus for heating and drying the glasses of the WC units by integrated low-voltage electrical resistance (2) in the material of manufacture of the toilet seat (1). The device consists of a low-voltage resistor embedded in the material (2) used to manufacture the toilet seat (1). The resistor (2) thus integrated in the toilet seat (1) is connected to a junction box / rheostat (3) which aims to adjust (4) the desired optimal temperature. The 12-volt power supply (5) is provided by a self-contained rechargeable battery or a small transformer (6) connected to the mains outside the wet area. So far, toilets, with seat equipped with eyeglasses WC, depending on the manufacturing material, give a feeling of freshness or even cold when used in sitting position. Sometimes, even, traces of moisture can be found on the glasses and accentuate these unpleasant sensations. The invention relates to a device (2) for making hot and dry toilet seat (1) to improve the comfort zone when using the toilet in a sitting position (temperature close to the physiological temperature of human skin + evaporation of moisture traces on the telescope). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for toilet blocks in dwellings (houses and apartments), administrations, businesses and communities but also to mobile toilets systems in motor homes, caravans and other mobile or fixed systems connected to battery 12 Volts.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for heating and drying glasses

WC with seat by heating integrated in the manufacturing material of the toilet seat thanks to a resistance embedded in the heart of the manufacturing material all around the toilet seat.

So far, the toilet, with seat equipped with WC glasses, depending on the material of!

manufacturing, give a feeling of freshness or even cold when used!

while seated.

Similarly, due to the thermal inertia of the materials used, traces of humidity;

i; can remain between 2 sessions of toilet use which gives a sensation! even more unpleasant from cold, humidity and can suggest a certain lack!

the hygiene of the toilets used when seated.

The device, according to the invention presented, overcomes these drawbacks and gives the toilets a more pleasant and comfortable use:

• temperature of the telescope permanently brought to the physiological temperature of the human body • sunglasses dried by this permanent temperature maintenance. * • On the other hand, this device makes it easier to learn how to use toilets for young children by the more comfortable nature it provides • It also improves the comfort of use for people in fragile situations or of illness. The cold sensations previously caused by the | contact with WC glasses which can trigger reflex manifestations accentuating the disorders linked to the pathology. These phenomena will be erased by the use of this new device. [

Thus, while sitting on the toilet seat, the user will feel a feeling of [very comfortable, dry dry heat.

Nothing is visible from the invention to the user and the system requires no maintenance or special attention. I

-2The heating system being integrated in the material of manufacture of the WCj / ette it cannot be damaged or degraded and will therefore correspond to a very wide use going from the home) to small and large communities. j

Likewise for temperature control switches (including deactivation)

Ç service and 3 temperatures called comfort: a little lower than body heat! outside, equal to the skin temperature and a few degrees above), which are) placed in the rear area of the telescope, therefore not directly accessible. )

This invention does not run any risk of burns since the adjustment button / j rheostat is blocked a few degrees above physiological body heat! the external and may in no case exceed 40 ° Celsius (risk of burns in children above 42 ° C).

This invention does not run any risk of accident or electrical incident, right? more, for users since the power supply which will come to the rear of the telescope will be · limited in voltage to 12 volts to supply the resistance at low temperature and will not) i ly in any case trigger an electric shock in case direct contact with the wires.

i

Power will be supplied by rechargeable batteries or with a small transformer! connected outside the toilet area to the electrical circuit of the dwelling or local] at 220 volts which will transform said current into low current, which will reduce the consumption] of electrical use of the process and therefore its user cost. J z * The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

FIG. 1 (FIG. 1) represents, in front and top view, a toilet block provided with a bezel (white part circled in blue) with the blue of the water (in the center of the drawing). The (FIG.l) shown the invention as it will be visible to users when the resistance is embedded in an opaque material.

2-5 Figure 2 (FIG.2) also shows a front and top view of a WC unit fitted with a bezel (white part circled in blue and streaked with red) with the blue of the water (in the center) drawing).

FIG. 2 shows the invention by showing, by transparency, the heating and drying resistance (2) integrated in the material for manufacturing the telescope.

With reference to these drawings, the toilet seat (1) is equipped with the invented device, that is to say a heating resistor (2) which is embedded in the material for manufacturing the seat, all around of it.

At the rear of the bezel (1) is fixed a low voltage junction box / rheostat (3) to heat the resistance (2) and maintain it at the chosen temperature. On this junction box / rheostat (3) are the on / off contactors (4) and resistance temperature adjustment on the 3 preset levels: temperature a little lower than the physiological temperature of human skin; physiological outside temperature of the human skin and temperature slightly higher than the physiological temperature of the human skin (the physiological temperature of the human skin being on average around 30 ° Celsius).

Connected to the junction box / rheostat, (3) a supply wire (5) bringing the low voltage current from the battery or the transformer (6) connected outside the lyhumid zone.

The implementation of the essentials of the invention will be done by the integration of the heating and drying resistance (2) in the material for manufacturing the toilet seat (1).

The junction box / rheostat (3) made of molded plastic, and placed at

2.e the length and 3 cm in width and height.

the rear of the toilet seat (1), by way of nonlimiting example, will have dimensions of 5 cm in

The on / off button (4) can be activated by pressing a flat contactor under @ style membrane and the same for temperature choices.!

I (It is a system of activation / adjustments that is often found on towel dryers in bathrooms).

You can therefore maintain a high level of hygiene in the toilet area.

This system makes it easy to clean the WC / toilet block and accessories and J

-4This heating and drying device for WC glasses can concern all toilets with seats in each home, business or community which can be equipped with heating and drying glasses. (It sells more than a million WC glasses per year in France). This device can also relate to toilet glasses in 5mobile installations such as motorhomes, caravans and other mobile or fixed toilet systems connected to a 12 Volt battery.
