Abstract

The cistern has a reservoir (2) in which a tappet actuated valve mechanism (15,16,20) is sensitive to the movement of a press panel (11). This moves in an aperture (5a) formed in the upper face of the reservoir. A further opening (5b) is formed in the face of the reservoir. The actuating mechanism is mounted in one of the two openings. The openings can be formed by parts of the same cut out (5).

Description

La présente invention concerne des réservoirs de chasse qui sont destinés à être encastrés dans un mur et à alimenter en eau une ouverte de W-C généralement suspendue et qui forme, avec un organe de manoeuvre, la partie visible de l'ensemble W-C suspendu.The present invention relates to cisterns which are intended to be built into a wall and to supply water to an open W-C generally suspended and which forms, with an operating member, the part visible from the suspended W-C assembly.

Les réservoirs de chasse de l'art antérieur ont un organe de manoeuvre disposé sur le dessus ou en façade. La demanderesse s'est avisé que le plombier est obligé de conserver en stock des réservoirs du type à ouverture sur le dessus et des réservoirs du type à ouverture en façade pour pouvoir répondre aux deux types différents de montage qu'il est amené à réaliser.The prior art flush tanks have a maneuver arranged on the top or front. The Applicant is aware that the plumber is obliged to keep in stock tanks of the opening type on the top and tanks of the type with front opening to be able to respond to the two different types of mounting that he is led to carry out.

La présente invention pallie ces inconvénients par un réservoir de chasse qui peut être monté soit avec l'organe de manoeuvre disposé sur le dessus du réservoir, sort avec l'organe de manoeuvre disposé en façade.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks with a reservoir of flush which can be mounted either with the operating device arranged on the top of the tank, exits with the operating member arranged on the front.

Suivant l'invention, le réservoir de chasse comprend une cuve dans laquelle se trouve un mécanisme de chasse actionné par un mécanisme d'actionnement à taquet sensible au déplacement d'un organe de manoeuvre pouvant passer dans une ouverture ménagée sur la face supérieure de la cuve et est caractérisé en ce que une autre ouverture est ménagée dans la façade de la cuve et le mécanisme d'actionnement est agencé de manière à pouvoir être sensible au déplacement de l'organe de manoeuvre que celui-ci se trouve en regard de l'ouverture sur la face supérieure ou en regard de l'ouverture sur la façade.According to the invention, the flush tank comprises a tank in which is a flush mechanism actuated by a mechanism actuation with cleat sensitive to the movement of an operating member can pass through an opening on the upper face of the tank and is characterized in that another opening is made in the facade of the tank and the actuating mechanism is arranged so that it can be sensitive to the movement of the operating member that it is facing of the opening on the upper face or opposite the opening on the facade.

Le plombier n'a plus besoin de conserver en stock deux types de réservoirs ni d'effectuer d'échange standard d'un réservoir d'un type par un réservoir d'un autre type si l'utilisateur souhaite changer la position de l'organe de manoeuvre, puisque un seul et même réservoir s'accommode d'une manoeuvre par le dessus ou par la façade.The plumber no longer needs to keep two types of tanks nor to perform standard exchange of a tank of a type by a tank of another type if the user wishes to change the position of the maneuver, since a single tank accommodates one maneuver by the top or by the facade.

Au lieu de former deux ouvertures distinctes dans la face supérieure et dans la façade, on peut ne réaliser qu'une seule échancrure s'étendant également dans la façade et la face supérieure de la cuve. L'accès à l'intérieur de la cuve s'en trouve facilité.Instead of forming two separate openings in the upper side and in the facade, we can make only one notch extending also in the front and upper side of the tank. Access to the interior of the tank is facilitated.

On décrit maintenant un mode de réalisation du réservoir de chasse suivant l'invention, en se reportant aux dessins annexées donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue éclatée en perspective d'un mode de réalisation d'un réservoir de chasse selon l'invention, alors que l'organe de manoeuvre est sur le dessus du réservoir,
  • la figure 2 est une vue éclatée en perspective du réservoir de chasse de la figure 1, alors que l'organe de manoeuvre est sur la façade du réservoir,
  • la figure 3 est une vue éclatée en perspective incorporant l'organe de manoeuvre,
  • les figures 4,5,6 et 7 illustrent deux mécanismes d'actionnement que l'on peut utiliser dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2.
An embodiment of the flush tank according to the invention will now be described, with reference to the appended drawings given solely by way of example, and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a flush tank according to the invention, while the operating member is on top of the tank,
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the flushing tank of FIG. 1, while the operating member is on the front of the tank,
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view incorporating the operating member,
  • Figures 4,5,6 and 7 illustrate two actuation mechanisms that can be used in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.

La figure 1 représente un réservoir de chasse qui comprend une cuve 2 et un conduit 4 d'évacuation reliant la cuve 2 à la cuvette de W-C, qui n'est pas représentée à la figure. La cuve 2 est maintenue sur un support 3 servant de charpente de maintien lors de l'encastrage du réservoir de chasse dans un mur.Figure 1 shows a cistern which includes a tank 2 and a discharge pipe 4 connecting the tank 2 to the bowl of W-C, which is not shown in figure. The tank 2 is held on a support 3 serving to support frame when flushing the flush tank into a wall.

La cuve 2 contient un mécanisme de chasse qui est actionné par un mécanisme d'actionnement. Le mécanisme de chasse permet, lorsqu'il est actionné, de mettre la cuve 2 en communication avec le conduit 4 d'évacuation. Ce type de mécanisme de chasse est bien connu et n'a pas été représenté aux figures.The tank 2 contains a flushing mechanism which is actuated by a actuation mechanism. The flushing mechanism allows, when activated, to put the tank 2 in communication with the discharge pipe 4. This kind of hunting mechanism is well known and has not been shown in the figures.

Une échancrure 5 comprenant une première partie 5a sur le dessus de la cuve et une seconde partie 5b sur la façade de la cuve est ménagée en haut de la cuve 2. Les deux parties de l'échancrure sont de forme et dimension identiques.A notch 5 comprising a first part 5a on the top of the tank and a second part 5b on the front of the tank is provided at the top of the tank 2. The two parts of the notch are of shape and dimension identical.

La figure 3 représente un mode de réalisation de l'organe de manoeuvre qui commande le mécanisme d'actionnement contenu dans la cuve. Cet organe de manoeuvre est formé d'une cornière 6, dont les ailes 7 et 8, de même dimension et contour extérieur, viennent recouvrir l'échancrure du réservoir, et est vissée sur son pourtour à la périphérie de l'échancrure.Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the maneuver which controls the actuation mechanism contained in the tank. This operating member is formed of an angle 6, the wings 7 and 8, similarly dimension and external contour, cover the notch of the tank, and is screwed on its periphery at the periphery of the notch.

L'une des ailes 7 de la cornière 6 est en forme de cadre sur lequel est vissé un cadre 10 de maintien d'une plaque 9 de commande qui est fixée par clipsage au cadre 10, l'autre aile étant pleine. Une partie de cette plaque 9 de commande constitue un organe 11 de manoeuvre qui, poussé manuellement par l'utilisateur du W-C, vient coopérer avec le mécanisme d'actionnement inclus dans la cuve 2.One of the wings 7 of the angle 6 is in the form of a frame on which is screwed a frame 10 for holding a control plate 9 which is fixed by clipping to frame 10, the other wing being full. Part of this plate 9 of control constitutes an operating member 11 which, pushed manually by the user of the W-C, comes to cooperate with the actuation mechanism included in tank 2.

Selon que l'on souhaite un positionnement de l'organe 11 de manoeuvre sur le dessus ou sur la façade de la cuve, on place la cornière 6 avec son aile 7 en forme de cadre en regard de la partie de l'ouverture 5a qui est ménagée sur le dessus (figure. 1) ou en regard de la partie de l'ouverture 5b qui est ménagée sur la façade (figure 2).Depending on whether one wishes to position the member 11 of operation on the top or on the front of the tank, the angle iron 6 is placed with its wing 7 in the form of a frame opposite the part of the opening 5a which is formed on the top (FIG. 1) or opposite the part of the opening 5b which is formed on the facade (Figure 2).

Les figures 4 et 5 illustre la liaison organe 11 de manoeuvre-mécanisme d'actionnement du mécanisme de chasse.Figures 4 and 5 illustrates the linkage 11 of the operating mechanism actuation of the flushing mechanism.

Le mécanisme de commande, qui se trouve à l'intérieur de la cuve 2, est formé d'une roue 12 montée sur son axe 13. La roue 12 comporte une saillie 14 qui coopère avec le mécanisme de chasse, lequel met la cuve 2 en communication ou non avec le conduit 4 d'évacuation, ainsi que deux taquets 15 et 16 fixés à la périphérie de la roue 12. Les taquets 15 et 16 comportent chacun une surface 17 de contact sur laquelle vient pousser l'organe 11 de manoeuvre. Le taquet 15 est placé de manière que sa surface 17 soit horizontale de sorte que lorsque l'organe 11 de manoeuvre vient appuyer sur elle selon une direction verticale, cela entraíne une rotation de la roue 12 et un soulèvement de la saillie 14. Le taquet 16 est placé de manière que sa surface 17 soit verticale de sorte que, lorsque l'organe 11 de manoeuvre vient appuyer sur elle selon une direction horizontale, cela entraíne une rotation de la roue 12 et un soulèvement de la saillie 14, le soulèvement de la saillie 14, telle qu'indiqué par une flèche, ayant pour effet d'actionner le mécanisme de chasse, non représenté à la figure. Les taquets 15 et 16 sont disposés sur la périphérie de la roue de sorte que la course de l'organe 11 de manoeuvre ait la même longueur, que ce soit dans la direction verticale où la direction horizontale.The control mechanism, which is located inside the tank 2, is formed by a wheel 12 mounted on its axis 13. The wheel 12 has a projection 14 which cooperates with the flushing mechanism, which puts the tank 2 in communication or not with the exhaust duct 4, as well as two tabs 15 and 16 fixed to the periphery of the wheel 12. The tabs 15 and 16 each have a surface 17 of contact on which pushes the operating member 11. Cleat 15 is placed so that its surface 17 is horizontal so that when the member 11 of maneuver comes to press on it in a vertical direction, this causes a rotation of the wheel 12 and an uplift of the projection 14. The cleat 16 is placed so that its surface 17 is vertical so that when the member 11 of maneuver comes to press on it in a horizontal direction, this causes a rotation of the wheel 12 and an uplift of the projection 14, the uplift of the projection 14, as indicated by an arrow, having the effect of actuating the hunting, not shown in the figure. The tabs 15 and 16 are arranged on the periphery of the wheel so that the stroke of the operating member 11 has the same length, whether in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.

La figure 4 illustre l'entraínement du mécanisme de chasse par le mécanisme d'actionnement dans le cas où l'organe 11 de manoeuvre se trouve en façade du réservoir et pousse le taquet 16, tandis que la figure 5 correspond au cas où l'organe 11 de manoeuvre est sur le dessus du réservoir et pousse le taquet 15.Figure 4 illustrates the drive of the hunting mechanism by the actuation mechanism in the case where the operating member 11 is in front of the tank and pushes the stopper 16, while FIG. 5 corresponds to the case where the operating member 11 is on top of the tank and pushes the cleat 15.

Les figures 6 et 7 représentent un autre mode de réalisation du mécanisme d'actionnement pouvant être commandé par le dessus ou par la façade.Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the actuation mechanism which can be controlled from above or from the front.

A la figure 6, le mécanisme d'actionnement comprend un levier 18 qui peut basculer autour de l'axe 19 et dont l'une des extrémités coopère avec le mécanisme de chasse (non représenté à la figure) ainsi qu'un taquet 20, articulé à l'autre extrémité du lever et qui peut pivoter de sorte que sa surface 17 de contact puisse prendre une position verticale (figure 6) ou une position horizontale (figure 7) qui permettent respectivement une coopération avec l'organe 11 de manoeuvre par la façade ou par le dessus de la cuve. De plus, grâce à ce pivotement du taquet, la course de l'organe de manoeuvre est la même suivant qu'il se déplace dans la direction verticale ou horizontale.In FIG. 6, the actuation mechanism comprises a lever 18 which can tilt around the axis 19 and one end of which cooperates with the flushing mechanism (not shown in the figure) as well as a cleat 20, articulated at the other end of the lever and which can pivot so that its contact surface 17 can take a vertical position (figure 6) or a horizontal position (figure 7) which respectively allow cooperation with the operating member 11 by the front or the top of the tank. In addition, thanks to this pivoting of the cleat, the stroke of the actuator is the same as it moves in the vertical or horizontal direction.
