Description

WC PAN CONNECTOR WITH FLEXIBLE PORTION
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to connectors for connecting a WC pan to a soil pipe.
Background to the Invention
Forming and maintaining a seal between the pan of a WC and a soil pipe is crucial. If this seal leaks due to poor design or installation then waste products and sewer gases can leak from the WC into the surrounding environment. A wide range of connectors are available for providing the sealed link between the WC pan outlet and the soil pipe inlet. One of the more popular types of connector includes a flexible corrugated tubular section which can accommodate for misalignment of the relative positions of the inlet and the outlet of the connector.
These corrugated connectors have at least one limitation however. The corrugations prevent the corrugated section being manipulated to form into tight bends and, as such, there are circumstances where a corrugated connector cannot be used to connect the WC pan to the soil pipe, for example where a feature of the building adjacent the WC, such as a column or wall section, interrupts the path of the connector between the WC and the soil pipe.
Summary of the Invention
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a WC pan connector comprising: a rigid portion having an inlet, adapted to be connected to an WC outlet and an outlet, the rigid portion inlet and the rigid portion outlet having parallel longitudinal axes; and a flexible portion having an inlet, adapted to be connected to the rigid portion outlet and an outlet, adapted to be connected to a soil pipe. In at least one embodiment, such an arrangement permits the rigid portion to incorporate an immediate bend or offset such that the inlet and outlet are offset. If there is an obstruction adjacent the WC outlet, embodiments of the invention may make it possible to fit the connector between the soil pipe and the WC. Parallel, but different axes permit an offset to be incorporated which maintains the flow of waste from the WC in the same axial direction.
In one embodiment, the diameter of the rigid portion outlet may be smaller than that of the rigid portion inlet.
Preferably the rigid portion further includes a body section connecting the rigid portion inlet to the rigid portion outlet. Preferably the rigid portion body section incorporates at least one bend.
In one embodiment the rigid portion body section incorporates two bends. In this embodiment, the bends may be of equal degree but in opposite directions. In essence the rigid portion defines an "S" shape.
Alternatively or additionally, the rigid portion body section defines a tapered region. In one arrangement, a first side of the rigid portion body section tapers towards a second side of the rigid portion body section. The second side of the rigid body portion section may be parallel to one or both of the inlet and/or outlet longitudinal axis. Preferably, the flexible portion comprises at least one corrugated section.
Alternatively or additionally, the flexible portion comprises at least one smooth walled section
Preferably, the flexible portion is connectable by a user to the rigid portion. Such an arrangement permits a supplier to stock a single flexible portion for connecting to a number of different configurations of rigid portion.
Preferably, the flexible portion is releasably connectable to the rigid portion.
Preferably, the releasable connection is a push fit.
The push fit may comprise an interference fit. Alternatively, the push fit may comprise a snap fit. Preferably, the rigid portion outlet is received by the flexible portion inlet.
Preferably, the rigid portion includes an indicator device for indicating when the flexible portion has been fully connected to the rigid portion.
Preferably, the indicator device is an element defined by the rigid portion body section. Preferably, the element extends outwardly from the rigid portion body section.
Alternatively, the indicator device is a bend defined by the rigid portion body section.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a WC pan connector comprising: a rigid portion having an inlet, adapted to be connected to an WC outlet and an outlet; and a flexible portion having an inlet, adapted to be connected to the rigid portion outlet and an outlet, adapted to be connected to a soil pipe, the flexible portion being extendible; wherein the rigid portion and the flexible portion are separate.
In one embodiment, providing a separate flexible portion allows a vendor to carry reduced stock because a flexible portion can be matched to a range of rigid portions and provide an extension to mate up to a soil pipe inlet. Similarly for the installer, such an arrangement reduces the number of components he has to carry to cover various installation arrangements.
Preferably, the rigid portion outlet is received within the flexible portion inlet.
In one embodiment, the rigid portion inlet and the rigid portion outlet have parallel longitudinal axes. It will be understood that the non-essential features listed with respect to one aspect may be equally applicable to the other aspect and have not been repeated for brevity.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be shown with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of a WC pan connector according to a first embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is an exploded side view of the connector of Figure 1 ; Figure 3 is a side view of a WC pan connector according to a second embodiment of the present invention;

Detailed Description of the Drawings
Referring firstly to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a side view (Figure 1) and an exploded side view (Figure 2) of a WC pan connector, generally indicated by reference numeral 100, according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
The WC pan connector 100 comprises a rigid portion 110 and a flexible portion 120. The rigid portion 110 comprises an inlet 112, a body section 114 and an outlet 116. The rigid portion inlet 112 is adapted to be connected to a WC outlet (not shown). The flexible portion 120 comprises an inlet 122, a flexible corrugated section
124 and an outlet 126. The flexible portion inlet 122 is adapted to be connected to the rigid portion outlet 116 and the flexible portion outlet 126 is adapted to be connected to a soil pipe (not shown). The flexible portion inlet 122 fits over the rigid portion outlet 116 by a push connection, forming an interference fit. As can be seen from Figure 2, the rigid portion inlet 112 has an axis 130 which is parallel to the axis 132 of the rigid portion outlet 116. This arrangement means the plane 134 of the inlet 112 is parallel to the plane 136 of the outlet 116. The axes 130,132 are different because of a double bend or offset incorporated in the rigid body section 114. The double bend comprises a first bend 138 adjacent the rigid portion inlet 112 and a second bend 140 adjacent the rigid portion outlet 116. The bends 138,140 offset the inlet axis 130 from the outlet axis 132 by a linear distance of 40 mm (indicated by letter "A").
Referring to Figures 3 and 4 there is shown a side view (Figure 3) and an exploded side view (Figure 4) of a WC pan connector 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the rigid portion inlet 212 is larger than the rigid portion outlet 216. This difference in size is provided for by a taper 250 defined by the rigid portion body section 214. As can be seen from Figures 3 and 4, the taper 250 is only provided on an upper side 252 of the body section 214 which results in an offset of the inlet's longitudinal axis 230 with respect to the outlet longitudinal axis 232 of
20mm (as indicated by letter "B").
Referring to Figure 5 there is shown an exploded side view of a WC pan connector 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the rigid portion inlet 212 and outlet 316 share a common axis 380. The rigid portion 310 and the flexible portion 320 are separate and the flexible section corrugated portion 324 is adapted to extend.
Various modifications or improvements may be made to the above described embodiment without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, although the connection between the flexible and rigid portions is described as an interference connection, it could be a snap fit or any other suitable connection.
Similarly the corrugated section of the flexible portion could be smooth walled pipe.
