Definitions

  • This invention relates to a type of a stoppered discharge system which is designed for toilet reservoir and performs its function with various water volumes.
  • Stoppered discharge systems have been used in reservoirs for a long time. There is a need to decrease the amount of water consumed in toilets due to reduced water sources and the methods for fulfilling this need include for example discharge systems with reservoirs of 3-6 liters, toilets which function with less than 6 liters of water or stoppered discharge systems. Therefore user is able to stop the system by intervening water flow after required amount of water is run or enough cleaning is done.
  • Discharge systems located in reservoir are used in different types for each reservoir trade mark and model.
  • European patent No: EP0892117 an example of stoppered discharge system is illustrated.
  • elements with magnetic character are used on floating part attached to overflow tube and on the surface in which this part is seated.
  • System of European patent No: EP0892117 which emphasizes on sealing character comprises complex and expensive parts in terms of manufacturing.
  • EP1270831 a reservoir system with double discharge valve is disclosed. In operation, main valve remains opened by the aid of water pressure inside reservoir and second valve controls the amount of water to be added to reservoir by means of at least one floating part. Full discharge and partial discharge could be provided with main valve.
  • the object of European patent No: EP1270831 is to perform operation with less closing noise and with less required force.
  • utilization, mounting and maintenance ease could be provided with stoppered discharge placed in reservoir due to its structure and this could be used as a discharge with long-life.
  • the object of this invention is to achieve a stoppered discharge system which is easily mounted on toilet reservoirs, robust, able to operate with various water volumes and such that a user could discharge any amount of water he/she desired.

  • Sealing gaskets ( 2 ) are attached into two gasket channels ( 33 ) located at cylindrical region ( 38 ) on discharge bearing.
  • Discharge bearing ( 1 ) is placed into exit channel of reservoir from cylindrical region ( 38 ) and is also placed in lower interior surface of reservoir due to rabbetted structure of sitting surface ( 39 ) in discharge bearing ( 1 ).
  • stoppered discharge system (A) during discharge, water in reservoir is used by passing from water passage channel ( 35 ) into discharge channel ( 34 ).
  • the position of lantern ( 3 ) is fixed by engaging lantern fingers ( 41 ) of lantern ( 3 ) shown in FIG. 6 into bearing locks ( 36 ) at both sides of discharge bearing ( 1 ).
  • the task of two sealing gaskets ( 2 ) is to prevent any leaking from discharge bearing ( 1 ) in reservoir even if all support or fixing parts of stoppered discharge system (A) are removed.
  • second gasket is provided to keep its sealing function as a safety gasket.
  • styrofoam lower plate ( 13 ) is located on styrofoam lower plate sitting surface ( 30 ) as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 .
  • Lantern ( 3 ) shown in FIG. 6 has a bottom with an opening and a body having a hollow cylindrical form wherein two wall abutments ( 42 ) extending as opposed and in form of an outward protrusion are located near to upper side hereof, a lantern lower rabbet ( 45 ) formed by diameter enlargement extends at lower side hereof and two lantern fingers ( 41 ) extending as opposed and as an outward protrusion is located on a lantern lower rabbet ( 45 ) and a lantern upper opening ( 43 ), through which discharge tube ( 4 ) is passed, extends at upper side hereof.
  • Two wall abutments ( 42 ) on lantern ( 3 ) serve as a support by tightly abutting front and back interior walls of reservoir to prevent collapse or volume constrictions that might be occurred during plastering and tiling especially in built-in reservoirs and outside effects which obstruct or limit the function of stoppered discharge system (A).
  • Discharge tube ( 4 ) shown in FIG. 7 has also a hollow cylindrical form wherein its upper and lower surfaces are opened, two finger engagement recesses ( 71 ) are located on upper side hereof to attach pull arm finger ( 93 ) (shown in FIG. 10 ), segment-gasket sitting surface ( 75 ) formed by diameter attenuation at lower side hereof is located where two segments ( 11 ) and discharge gasket ( 12 ) in between are placed top of each other.
  • Two longitudinal discharge tube corrugations ( 72 ) extending as opposed which fit in lantern upper opening channels ( 44 ) are located in discharge tube middle portion ( 77 ).
  • Two longitudinal discharge tube styrofoam corrugations ( 76 ) extending as opposed on styrofoam engagement surface ( 74 ) formed by diameter attenuation relative to discharge tube middle portion ( 77 ) are located between segment-gasket sitting surface ( 75 ) and discharge tube middle portion ( 77 ).
