Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a conventional type of flush tank, for example, a type in which a container for storing flush water is set behind a toilet bowl.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention One of the objects of the present invention is to realize a flush tank containing a removable brush capable of draining water, thereby facilitating quick and easy cleaning of the toilet bowl. Will be possible. At the same time, this stream has the obvious advantage that the brush itself can be kept clean.

Another object of the present invention is to improve a typical flush tank with a built-in brush in an optimal position to be used so that it is extremely easy to remove and then store.

Yet another object is to improve a tank with an aesthetically pleasing built-in brush, as the brush is hidden when not in use.

The present invention achieves these objectives with a simple, reasonable and reasonably sized design solution.

According to the present invention, the devised tank has a container adapted to store flush water, is designed to be installed on the rear shelf of the toilet bowl, and is separate from the flush water storage cavity. For example, it has a vertical hole on the side that can be closed by a hatch that swings horizontally.

A brush and a corresponding casing are housed in the vertical hole, and the casing is preferably supported by the above-mentioned hatch, and when the hatch is opened, the brush appears at the same time.

Furthermore, the brush has a longitudinal pipe, one end of which is open in the region of the brush with cleaning threads or brushes, and the other end is connected to a water supply tube for supplying water to, for example, a tank. It is connected to a flexible tube. The flexible tube is preferably wound on an automatic winder housed, for example, in the space base of the toilet bowl so that the brush can be moved to the desired location and when the brush is replaced the tube Is pulled back. Appropriate valves are also associated with the brush to allow and stop the passage of wash water.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Each figure (in particular FIG. 1) shows a so-called classic type toilet bowl 1 of the type with a holding seat and accessories for the flush tank 2 on top.
The tank 2 is composed of a hollow main body having a vertical wall with a pentagonal plane and a vertical wall, and is provided with a cavity 3 for storing the cleaning water 33. As shown in FIG. 2, the tank 2 is open at the top and the usual pushbutton for opening the outlet 6 has a cover 4 with a pulling lever 5. In the lower part of the tank, there are two through holes 7 for attaching the tank to the toilet 1, a central hole in which a stopper 8 designed to discharge flush water is attached to a flange of the toilet 1, and a cavity 3 is supplied. Tube 9
There is a vertical hole for the passage of holes and a vertical hole 10 on the opposite side outside the cavity described above, the function of which will be elucidated in the following description.

The pipe 9 is connected to a normal water supply pipe 12 by a "T" type connector shown by 11 in FIG. The other outlet of the connector 11 is connected to the flexible tube 13. The tube 13 is wound by an automatic winder 14 housed in the space at the rear of the toilet 1 (FIGS. 1 and 2).

Winder 14 and associated connector 11 and tube 1
The water connection method to 3 is not shown because it is generally easily understood by those skilled in the art. The flexible pipe 13 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) passes through 10 and enters a vertical hole 15 which extends vertically in the body of the tank 2 and is installed next to the storage tank 3 for the wash water 33. ing. The outflow end of the flexible tube 13 is connected to the hollow handle (FIG. 2) of the brush 16. At the end of the brush is a hollow cleaning element 17, which has a plurality of tufts 18 of fibers at the tips of the holes 19 for draining the wash water. The flow of water through these holes 19 is blocked by a valve 20 having a valve opening push button 21 at the upper end of the handle of the brush 16.

The valve 20 is well known in the art, and therefore detailed illustration is omitted.

As shown in the figure, a storage housing 22 is provided for the brush 16 so as to be fixed to a bracket 23 rising from the inner lower end of the hatch 24 so as not to move. A hatch is provided for closing the above-mentioned vertical hole 15, and a hatch 24 is pivoted on the tank 2 by a vertical shaft 25 at the rear part (FIG. 3).

Means 26, which can be connected with a slight force, are provided between the housing 22 and the bracket 23 and the hatch 24 to allow the housing 22 to be held in the correct position.

Further, a small container 23 is attached to the upper part of the tank 2, and the bottom part thereof is located at a height slightly lower than the height when the cavity 3 is full (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

The container 27 is designed to contain ordinary deodorants and cleaning agents, and at least one opening is provided in the lower part of the container 27, and when the cavity 3 is empty, water is passed through the openings to store the above respective agents. It can be dissolved.

The advantages and features of the present invention will be apparent from the above description and the accompanying drawings.
