Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sanitary spray arrangement to be used in connection with a conventional toilet bowl and toilet seat.
  • a curved arm provided with a sprayer head is oscillably mounted by a shaft on the under side of the toilet seat, which shaft extends in the transverse direction of the toilet seat such that the arm in a swinged back position is mainly horizontal and extends to the approximate circumference of the toilet seat with the sprayer head positioned adjacent the middle line of the toilet seat.
  • the swinging motion is effected by an operating means protruding laterally from the seat and attached to the arm.
  • the entire toilet bowl is especially designed for the additional usefulness, which increases the manufacturing costs in an actual manufacturing scale unrealisticly.
  • the object of the invention is to produce an arrangement of the kind introductory mentioned, which for attaining a sufficiently large volume of production is so uncomplicated and inexpensive to install that it can be accepted not only by non-disabled persons but for all is so easy to handle that it does not restain persons having reduced ability to move arms or hands from using it.
  • the operating means is designed like a handle which is not only oscillably movable essentially in the vertical plane but also in the lateral direction and is permitted during all the movement in the vertical plane to operate a valve for regulating the flow of water to the sprayer head in proportion to the lateral movement of the handle. Only a very light touch against the upper part of the handle in the lateral direction is necessary for regulating the flow of water because the entire length of the handle serves as a lever arm. This movement can, if necessary, be accomplished by an arm or elbow.
  • valve is opened against the influence of a spring force so that the valve closes automatically when the pressure against the handle in lateral direction ceases, as stated in claim 2. It is also suitable, for practical reasons, to give the arm supporting the sprayer head a return motion to the rest position by a spring means when the handle is no more touched.
  • Figure 1 is a top plan view, partly in section
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II-II in Fig. 1 showing the essential parts of the arrangement.
  • the drawings show a conventional toilet seat 1 which is hinged on a conventional toilet bowl 2.
  • the toilet seat is made of plastics and has comparatively high side brims 3.
  • a reinforcing plate 4 is attached to the under side of the seat 1, in which plate a transverse shaft 5 is rotatably mounted in a horizontal position or inclined about 20-25°, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • a curved arm 6 is secured to the inner end of the shaft 5, which arm has a free end supporting a sprayer head 7. The other end of the arm extends a distance off the outer side of the seat 1 and through a valve housing 8 attached to the plate 4.
  • a handle 9 is attached to the shaft 5 on the outer side of the valve housing.
  • the handle 9 is positioned essentially in the same plane as the curved arm 6 and pivotable a bit in this plane against the action of a spring-loaded pin 10 protruding from the valve housing 8 and which, when pushed against the action of a spring 11a opens a valve 11 connected to a water supply tube 12 and to the sprayer head 7 via a duct 13 through the shaft 5 and arm 6.
  • the water supply tube 12 is connected to a temperature regulator 14 attached to for instance the rear part of the toilet bowl 2 and connected to the water mains.
  • the arm 6 is designed such that when the handle 9 is turned forwards and downwards to the position shown in Fig. 1 the arm 6 follows the inner contour of the seat 1 just inside its inner side brim 3.
  • the handle 9 is now directed straight forward, and the sprayer head 7 is positioned inside the brim 3 and directed towards it.
  • water must be flushed with the right temperature to the sprayer head 7. This is carried out by pushing the handle 9 laterally so that the valve 11 is opened. Water starts spraying out from the sprayer head 7, the water squirts of which are hitting the inside of the brim 3 and are reflected down into the bottom of the toilet bowl.
  • the handle 9 can be turned upwards, suitably with interrupted water spraying until the sprayer head 7 has reached the right position essentially in the center of the toilet bowl, as shown in Fig. 2 and with point-dashed lines in Fig. 1.
  • the sprayer head 7 will become a more flat or shallow path than a horizontal shaft 5 would give rise to.
  • the handle 9 will be directed slightly outwards during the turning upwards, which is practical frcm considerations of space.
  • the turning upwards begins it is suitable to have the water flushing interrupted.
  • an increasing lateral pressure on the handle 9 during the turning upwards is obtained by retaining the handle in the vertical plane, which results in a soft starting of the water flushing from the sprayer head during the final phase of its movement when the handle has the position shown by point-dashed lines in Fig. 2, in which position the pin 10 is pushed down and the valve 11 is open.
  • the water squirts from the sprayer head 7 now are directed straight upwards.
  • the handle 9 slightly to-and fro the water squirts will be moved slightly forwards and backwards in a horizontal plane just beneath the under side of the toilet seat 1 simultaneously with a change of direction because the focusing point of the squirts owing to the inclination of the shaft 5 is positioned just above said plane.
  • the shaft 5 is for practical reasons suitably influenced by a spring 5a, which strives to bring back the arm 6 to its rear, in Fig. 1 shown rest position.
  • the toilet seat is, in a manner known per se, provided also with a hot-air sprayer head 15, which via a flexible tube 16 is connected to an air heating apparatus 17.
  • -ns may be of the type used in connection with singl-handle ⁇ nused temperature regulating function, which implies an -ification from a manufacturing point of view.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un agencement d'atomiseur à usage sanitaire destiné aux cuvettes (2) et sièges (1) de WC classiques. Le dessous d'un siège (1) de WC est pourvu, d'une manière connue en soi, d'un bras courbe (6) portant une tête de pulvérisation (7) et pivotant sur un bras (5) transversal à la direction du siège et en dépassant légèrement de façon à pouvoir recevoir une poignée (9) au moyen de laquelle le bras (6) peut osciller d'arrière en avant. La poignée (9) pivote également latéralement pour permettre d'actionner un robinet (10, 11) réglant le débit d'eau de la tête de pulvérisation (7), en utilisant la totalité de l'action de levier de la poignée (9).
