Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the inconvenience of a conventional flush toilet, wherein the user of a flush toilet blindly operates a low tank flush lever (4) of a tank close-coupled toilet seat because the flush lever (4) is located on a rear side of the user when seated on a toilet seat, and to enable the user of the flush toilet to operate the low tank flush lever (4) at an easily operable location near the hand of the user when seated on the toilet seat. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a remote control device for the flush toilet bowl flush lever. The remote control device is implemented by interlocking an operating unit (A) having an operating lever (12) which is manually operable and automatically returns when the manual operation is canceled, with a remote control device (B) which is mainly formed of a lever rotating plate (8) arranged in a low tank (3), for operating the low tank flush lever (4), a link plate (9), and a connecting member (6), by an interconnecting member (17). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a drainage lever remote operation device that can remotely control the operation of a flush drainage lever of a flush toilet.

  In many conventional tank-fitted flush toilets (2), the low tank drain lever (4) of the low tank (3) has a human body (1) in a state where the human body (1) is seated on the toilet seat as shown in FIGS. It is installed on the side wall surface of the row tank (3) located on the rear side of the rear and is configured to be operated with the rear hand.

  In many seat-type flush toilets, the low tank drain lever (4) is installed on the side wall of the tank located on the back side in the seated state. The low tank drain lever (4) must be squeezed and activated. In particular, there is a problem that the operation is difficult for the elderly and the physically handicapped.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an object to provide a remote operation device for washing and draining lever which can operate a low tank draining lever (4) at hand by a remote control device (A) while sitting on a toilet seat. It is said.

  In order to achieve the above object, the remote operation device for flush toilet flushing drain lever according to the present invention has an operation lever (12) that is automatically operated by manually operating the operation lever (12) and releasing the hand. The remote operating device (B) attached to the operating device (A) and the rotator (3) of the flush toilet is a connecting member (6) for interlocking the lever rotating plate (8) attached to the base support column B (10). ), A link plate (9), an interlocking connecting member (17), and a case B (11), and the lever (12) of the operating device (A) is operated to operate the lever rotating plate ( 8) Actuate the low tank drain lever (4) and operate the lever (12) easily by installing it at the position where it is easy to operate with the controller (A) seated. Low tank drain lever (4) can be refers interlocked. In particular, it can be easily operated by elderly people and people with physical disabilities.

  Further, the shape of the lever rotating plate (8) attached to the support column B (10) is brought into a state in which the drainage of the low tank drain lever (4) stops using gravity, and the interlocking connecting member (18) and the return elastic body. When the operating lever (12) of the operating device (A) is opened using the force of (13), the low tank drain lever (4) is prevented from stopping halfway due to the action of multiple forces.

  The operating device (A) can be attached to either the right side or the left side while being seated by flattening both sides.

  Also, the remote actuator (B) and the operating device (A) can be attached without using the low tank drain lever (4) when disassembling the appliance by using an adhesive, hook-and-loop fastener, hanger, or other adhesive means. Easy to install and install.

  Large and small drainage by connecting the low tank drain lever (4) and the drain valve in the low tank, etc. Large drainage by the traction position of the operation lever (12) of the operating unit (A) It can also be operated separately from industrial wastewater.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In FIG. 1, it is a side view which shows the use condition of the conventional toilet seat type toilet bowl. FIG. 2 shows an example of a toilet flushing drain lever installed in an existing low tank. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view showing the inside of the remote actuator B of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the operating device A of the remote actuator according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is an internal front view of the remote actuator B and is a reference diagram showing a configuration of operation.

  The operating device (A) in FIG. 4 is an operating device having an operating lever (12) that is manually operated and attached to the base A (16), and that automatically returns when the operation is released. For the return of the connecting member return elastic body (14) such as a wire return spring or the operating lever (12) to the interlocking connecting member (17) such as a wire connecting the operating lever (12) and the remote operating device (B) of FIG. A return elastic body (13) such as a spring is incorporated in the frame.

  The case A (15) of the operating unit (A) is attached to a toilet wall or the like so that both side surfaces are flattened so that an adhesive or a hook-and-loop fastener having an adhesive on the back surface can be easily adhered. Further, the interlocking connecting member (17) such as the operating lever (12) wire is provided on the upper surface and the bottom surface of the operating device (A).

  The remote actuator (B) of FIGS. 3 and 5 is a device incorporating FIG. 5 in the case (11), and utilizes the boost of a lever having a support column B (10) attached to a base B (21). A link that is connected to the link plate (9) by an interlocking connecting member (17) such as a wire interlocked by the operating device (A) of FIG. 4 and is returned by an interlocking connecting member return elastic body (18) such as a wire return spring. A guide groove (5) for guiding a connecting member (6) such as a ball chain is provided on a lever rotating plate (8) having a shape that can use gravity in the upper part of the plate (9) and the support column B (10). By connecting the lever rotating plate (8) having the protrusion (7) on the inside with a connecting member (6) such as a ball chain, and operating the operating lever (12) of the operating device (A) in FIG. The lever rotation plate (8) of the remote actuator (B) of FIGS. 3 and 5 operates. The low tank lever (4) is interlocked with the protrusion (7) installed on the inner side so that water for washing the toilet bowl flows out.

  The remote actuator (B) of FIGS. 3 and 5 is a cover that covers the outer surface of the case B (11) with a hole through which the low tank drain lever (4) passes so that it can be attached to the outer surface of the low tank (3). A hook-and-loop fastener that has an adhesive or an adhesive on the back surface and a hanger system that hooks between the upper surface of the low tank (3) and the lid. In case of trouble such as failure, the original low tank drain lever (4) is restored to the state shown in FIG.

  Although the present invention has been developed with a large amount of flowing water, the link plate (9) and the connecting member (6) such as a ball chain shown in FIG. It can be dealt with by mounting, and it is designed to solve in the same way when the operating directions of the large and small low tank drain levers (4) are opposite.

It is a side view which shows the use condition of the conventional toilet seat type toilet bowl. Shows the toilet flush drain lever installed in the current low tank. It is a side view of the cross section which shows the inside of the remote actuator (B) of this invention. It is sectional drawing of the operating device (A) of the remote actuator of this invention. It is an internal front view of a remote actuator (B), and is a reference figure which shows the structure of an action | operation.
