Definitions
- the present Industrial Utility Model Patent relates to a water closet pan of universal type, ie constituted in such a manner as to be able to be installed with horizontal or wall discharge or alternatively with vertical or floor discharge, and with its cistern either mounted to form a back-rest or wall-mounted, without requiring special assembly arrangements or further component elements beyond those which are strictly essential, ie the bowl and the cistern for the flushing water.

Abstract
Description
- The present Industrial Utility Model Patent relates to a water closet pan of universal type, ie constituted in such a manner as to be able to be installed with horizontal or wall discharge or alternatively with vertical or floor discharge, and with its cistern either mounted to form a back-rest or wall-mounted, without requiring special assembly arrangements or further component elements beyond those which are strictly essential, ie the bowl and the cistern for the flushing water.
- According to the invention, the said pan comprises a bowl supported by a hollow support foot, this latter extending rearwards to define a type of inverted U-shaped bridge arranged to mask the discharge mouth and connection whether discharging through the wall or through the floor.
- Moreover, said bridge extends beyond the rear edge of the bowl to terminate upperly below the rim in order to receive and support the base of a flushing cistern, the side walls of which form a direct extension of the front and plan profiles of the respective bowl.
- These and further merits and constructional characteristics of the invention will be more apparent from the detaÐsd .description given hereinafter with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the pan according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a rear view thereof;
- Figure 3 is a front half-sectional view through the flushing cistern with its cover;
- Figure 4 is a section on the line IV-IV of Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is an overall side view of the invention; and
- Figure 6 is the projection of Figure 5 from above, but excluding the bowl cover.
- Said figures, and in particular Figure 1, show a water closet pan comprising a bowl 1 provided with a closed rim 2 and supported by a hollow support foot 3 provided with the normal holes 4 for fixing it to the floor.
- The hollow foot 3 houses a
normal syphon 5 which terminates in arear discharge mouth 6, and the rim 2 opens into a rear mouth 7 for feeding the flushing water. - Said mouth 7 is masked by a respective
rear ledge 70 branching from the upper edge of the bowl 1 and coplanar with this latter (Figure 5), its side edges being on the direct extension of the outer surface of said bowl 1 (Figures 2 and 6). - Furthermore, straddling the feed mouth 7 (Figure 6) there are two through holes 8 for fixing a normal seat 9 provided with a cover 10 (Figure 5), the lower annular wall of the rim 2 comprising a plurality of conveniently
distributed discharge holes 11. - The foot 3 extends towards the rear zone of the pan 1 to form a sort of
bridge 12 of inverted U configuration (Figure 2). - The rear terminal part of the
bridge 12 juts beyond theoverlying ledge 70, and its upper wall lies between the feed mouth 7 anddischarge mouth 6. - As clearly shown in Figure 1, this latter mouth can receive either a right angled connector 13 for discharge through the floor, or a horizontal
straight connector 130 for discharge through the wall. - Said
connectors 13 and 130 are practically masked by thebridge 12. - The water closet pan according to the invention can be installed in one of the aforesaid ways, ie with discharge either through the floor or through the wall, and with the cistern mounted either to form a back-rest as shown or wall-mounted, in this latter case there being provided a suitable connector, not shown, for connecting the feed mouth 7 to said wall-mounted cistern.
- As clearly shown in all the accompanying figures, the jutting part of the
bridge 12 is designed to receive and support a flushing cistern comprising acistern body 14 and a respective cover 15 (Figures 3 and 4). - Said
cistern 14 andcover 15 have their conjugate coupling edges of stepped configuration. - The lower terminal part of the
cistern 14, ie that intended to be inserted behind the bowl 1, comprises acentral recess 16 which communicates with thecistern 14 by way of anupper aperture 17. - Furthermore, the front wall of the
recess 16 is provided with anaperture 18 for the passage of a suitable connector, not shown, which connects the feed mouth 7 to theaperture 17. - As best shown in Figure 5, straddling the
front aperture 18 there are provided two through holes for receiving respective stay bolts 19 which are connected to thebolts 20 for fixing the seat 9 on to theledge 70 of the bowl 1. - In this manner, the
cistern 14 remains fixed to the water closet pan, by which it is supported by way of thebridge 12. - Correct positioning of the
cistern 14 on thebridge 12 is ensured by a profiled undercut 22 (Figures 3 and 4) which is conjugate with the upper wall of the bridge (Figure 2). - Furthermore, as best shown in Figures 3 and 4, the
cover 15 is provided centrally with ahole 22 for fitting a normal control member for discharging thecistern 14, the rear wall of this latter comprising ahole 23 for connection to the water main. - As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6, above the
recess 16, the combined front surface of thecistern 14 andcover 15 is configured as a portion of a vertically extending concave cylindrical surface perimetrally enclosed by a cornice orprojection 24 which substantially reproduces the same motif as the mouth of the bowl 1 (Figure 1). - The lower part of said projection 24 (Figures 4, 5 and 6) overlies the upper terminal edge of the
ledge 70, and the side walls (Figure 6) and lower walls (Figure 2) of thecistern 14 constitute the direct extension of the outer profile of the pan or bowl 1. - The assembly and installation of the invention are clearly apparent from the aforegoing.
