Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices for reduce consumption in flushing toilets.
  • Toilet flushing traditional examples represent a typical example of waste, the amount of water used to achieve an effective sweep of the bowl often being disproportionate to the real user needs.
  • An object of the invention is the placing on the market an easy-to-install device that can be adapted almost all hunting tanks, whatever either the origin or the manufacturer.
  • Another object of the invention is that this device offers great stability over time and does not risk move around in the tank.
  • This device can be installed by a person who is good at mechanics.
  • This device is preferably made in one rigid molded material, such as a selected polymer material especially among polyamides and polypropylenes.
  • the opening is preferably calibrated so as to ensure a water flow avoiding stagnation.
  • Interlocking means include advantageously notches and tenons and / or bosses protruding from the underside of each base unit.
  • Overflows are preferably formed near the upper edge of the side walls.
  • the bottlenecks overflow advantageously correspond to the difference of relative height between these notches and tenons.
  • the device may include means for joining capable of fixing at least one base unit to a fixed part of a flush tank.
  • the fundamental principle of the invention is to replace part of the water volume of a flush tank by a "captive" volume with slow flow, so that practically only the volume of external water to the device according to the invention is discharged to the bowl when the flush is activated.
  • the invention also relates to a unit nestable for an economizer device as described above.
  • the device consists of a plurality basic units 1. Each of these units 1 assumes globally the shape of a hollow parallelepiped, open on its face superior.
  • the underside 2 which is intended to be oriented towards the bottom of a toilet tank, comprises cells 3 intended for the introduction of a material of ballast 4.
  • Fig 2 shows such an open cell 3, not filled, but it is obvious that such a cell 3 can be closed, the material intended for ballasting 4 being embedded in alveolus 3.
  • the base unit 1 comprises, bosses 9 making protruding from its underside 2, and near the edges lower and upper sides 5, 6, interlocking means 7, 8 which have, in the figure shown, the shape of notches 7 and tenons 8.
  • the pins 8 are arranged on the sides of the bosses 9.
  • each base unit has at least an orifice 10, these orifices 10 are located at a point any of the base and can in particular cross the alveoli 3 as shown in Fig 1.
  • the user has the possibility of assembling basic units 1 both with full cistern only empty, whichever seems more practical.
  • the length and width of the base units 1 are determined in multiples of modular value M. Les elements shown in Fig 1 and 2 thus have a width M and with a length of 2 M, which allows two modules to be assembled, at choice, direct stacking, offset stacking, or cross stack as shown in Figs 3, 4 and 5.
  • the notches 7 and the tenons 8 allied to bosses 9 allow efficient assembly with loss of minimum space, without fluid compression in a closed volume.
  • the depth of the notches 7 is slightly greater than the height of the tenons 8. Des overflows are thus formed between two units of overlapping base.
  • bosses 9 shown here of square shape can assume in particular the octahedron shape.
  • the base units 1 according to the invention can also have the shape of parallelepipeds with cut sides, which, in combination with the shape of the bosses 9 described above, allows 45 ° connections.
  • bars having fixing means of suitable shape in particular at the notches 7 allow one or more to be joined stack of units 1 at the tank wall.
  • the dimensions of the base units 1 are chosen so that the device can be easily adapted to most of the hunting tanks available on the market, without affecting the functioning of the various mechanisms present in the reservoirs. Practical tests show, however, that excellent results are obtained with a water capacity of 0.25 to 0.3 liters per unit of based.
