Definitions

• the present invention relates to a toilet seat according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Another requirement is to protect well the drive, the electronics and the power supply, so that the functioning is not affected by water, urine, etc., so that, for example, a reliable tightening of the protective cover no longer is guaranteed.
• these devices should be easily accessible, ie, for example, for repair, when replacing batteries, when connecting an external power supply, etc. easily removable or reusable. It is important that the work is not unduly complicated by complicated brackets, plug-in mechanisms, connection of connectors, etc. during removal or insertion.
• a housing comprising at least three at least partially separated areas, such as an area, at least including the unwinding reel, an area provided for arranging optionally a drive and optionally a battery compartment and an area, at least including the Reel spool and a cover. Between the at least partially separated areas at least one at least partially separating the regions partition is provided to prevent the ingress, for example of spray water, urine, etc.
• the seat frame freely resting on the unwind spool end be pivotally mounted and fastened on the reel spool via a hinge-like connection at least on one wall at least partially separating the housing interior or on a fastening element.
• a current channel is provided with provided in the respective areas contact terminals, to which, for example, the batteries Drive or an external power supply pluggable or can be connected only by touch or can be removed again, without cable connection manipulations are necessary.
• This may be, for example, a bus bar embedded in the housing wall, with so-called tulip contacts directed laterally into the corresponding housing areas.
• FIGS. 2a, 2b cover a further perspective view of the toilet seat according to the invention with parts of the rear housing - in FIG lowered position and in the swung-out position of the seat and
• FIG. 3a, 3b again in perspective, the inventive toilet seat with rear housing seen from below, representing the inventive busbar or channel cable cover in the remote and inserted position.
• Figure 1 shows schematically in perspective a toilet seat according to the invention, wherein the seat ring or the seat 1 with a tubular coating can be protected or can be provided for reasons of hygiene with a continuously renewable protective cover.
• a tubular coating is rolled onto the seat 1 and guided along the seat frame 1 to the winding roller 9, which is arranged in a corresponding Aufrollhunt 12 of the housing ,
• the protective cover is indicated by dashed lines in the region of the delivery of the seat 1 and the reference numeral 3.
• the winding roller 9 may be driven by a motor 11, which may be arranged in a corresponding receiving chamber 18 of the housing 8 as shown in Fig. 1.
• the winding roller can also be driven manually, for example by attaching a crank in the region of the axle connection 6. as shown in Fig. 1.
• a crank must of course in the receiving chamber 18, which is provided for arranging, if necessary, an electric drive, a corresponding support or wall for the axis of the reel spool be provided so that it is stably held in the corresponding receiving chamber.
• a guide roller 16 is further provided, which is fastened by means of fastening elements 20 on the cover 8a of the housing 8 and lowered when lowering the cover 8a on the shell 14 of the housing 8 on the protective cover 3 ,
• the wall 24 of the motor housing which is provided opposite the roll-up chamber, can be designed such that it rests on the at least partially separating wall 19. If no electric drive is arranged in the space provided for the drive 18 chamber, for example.
• a corresponding hand drive such as a crank
• the seat 1 is pivotally mounted above the pivot point 27 on the partition 19.
• the seat frame 1 is connected via connecting straps 21 and 25 with the rotary attachment 27.
• a eyeglass lock 23 for example a so-called clip or a locking tab, which can be moved between a locking position and an open position for unfolding the seat eyeglasses 1.
• the seat 1 Since the opposite end of the seat frame 1 loosely rests on the shell 14 of the housing 8 in the region of the rolling chamber 17, when released by the lock 23, the seat 1 can be folded upwards. By simultaneously opening the cover 8a and after moving the guide roller 16, the retracting chamber is largely freely accessible from outside, with which it can be reliably cleaned.
• the two figures 2a and 2b clearly show how the seat frame 1 - in FIG. 2a in the lowered position and in FIG. 2b in the unfolded position - can be folded open in the housing 8.
• the motor chamber 18 with shown remote motor so that it is easy to see how the seat frame 1 on the at least partially separating wall 19 about an axle point 27 hinged, for example, on an axle pin 28 can be fastened.
• a retaining clip 23 is shown in the closed state in Figure 2a, while Figure 2b shows the clip in an open position.
• the locking can also be done by means of a locking member, such as a tab, which can set or release the seat by turning by 90 ° or more.
• both a chamber 18 for arranging the drive motor is provided in the center, and also a receiving chamber 15, provided for arranging, for example, a battery pack for the power supply of the motor.
• the battery chamber 15 is preferably separated via a further partition 16 splash-proof.
• axle pin 28 For the stable mounting of the axle pin 28 this is preferably also stored in the partition between the drive motor chamber and battery chamber in a corresponding receptacle 36.
• contacts to touch such as so-called tulip contacts are provided, as shown schematically in Figure 2b in the battery chamber 15 and provided with the reference numeral 31.
• the contacts with each other take place in a common cable channel 34, which connect the drive chamber 18, the battery chamber 15, and an external terminal 33 with each other.
• FIG. 3a the toilet seat according to the invention, i. show the seat 1 and the housing 8 in perspective from below against the shell 14 out.
• the current channel 34 is shown open, now represent the contacts 31 for the batteries and for the engine, while additionally an external terminal 33 is provided laterally outside the cover 8.
• a cable duct cover 35 is provided, which is removed in FIG. 3a and inserted or splash-proofed in FIG. 3b.
• FIG. 3b schematically shows a lock 41 in order to connect cover 8a to the shell.
• the progress of the unwinding of the protective coating from the unwinding roll or, correspondingly, the unrolling on the wind-up roll can be detected via an algorithm coupled with the engine by assuming that the total length of the protective coating is almost identical in each case.
• the drive can be controlled by the algorithm such that, as the rewind progresses, the respective drive length is reduced so that the length of the rolled-up protective cover is approximately the same.
• the algorithm is reset to the original value, so that the engine again longer drives the retractor and with as the protective cover rolls off, the rolling time is shortened.
• the progress of the consumer on the protective cover can be followed visually on a display 13.
• the progress of consumption of the protective coating by other means, such as optically by means of an optical sensor which detects a corresponding mark on the guide roller. Since the rotation of the guide roller remains constant even with increasing consumption of the protective coating, thus always the same path length can be measured with optical detection.
• the use of an optical sensor has the disadvantage that a countable detection of the path length is made difficult by contamination.
• the progress can also be detected magnetically by, for example, a metal part is arranged laterally on the guide roller. Instead of the metal part but also a transmitting member can be arranged, the movement of which can serve for the detection of the path traveled by the hose. The possibilities are in themselves no limits, it is essential that always about the same amount of hose is replaced on the seat.
• triggering the hose replacement different approaches are possible, for example, the process by means of a simple push button, by means of an electronic pressure sensor, by means of a capacitive switch, etc. take place.
• the use of a capacitive switch has the advantage that in the process generated magnetic field only movements of a user person to trigger the hose replacement are detected, and not any movements of textiles, clothes, etc.
• FIGS. 1 to 3 merely represent examples which can be supplemented or modified in any desired manner.
• Essential to the invention is the one hand, the Aufklapples the seat and on the other hand in the motor-driven embodiment, the use of a common power channel for the power supply of the drive motor.
