The presser unit has a presser head (12,17) to raise and lower a closure body (33) at the discharge valve (36), working with at least one twin-arm lever (19). The lever pivots on a swing axis (20,21), and is linked to the closure body. The presser head is in two parts, with one part (32) to lift the closure body and a second part (30) to lower it, in a swing movement on the presser head and working with the lever.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Betätigungsvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an actuating device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Durch die EP 0 426 224 A ist eine gattungsgemässe Betätigungsvorrichtung bekannt geworden, bei welcher der Drückerknopf durch einen Stift gebildet wird, mit dem der zweiarmige Hebel zur Spülauslösung in der einen und zur Spülunterbrechung in der anderen Richtung verschwenkt wird. Am zweiarmigen Hebel sind zwei nach oben ragende Arme angelenkt, die in einer Kulisse so geführt sind, dass der Stift jeweils mit einem dieser Arme in Eingriff kommt. Die erforderliche Kraft zur Auslösung einer Spülung ist vergleichsweise gross.By the EP 0 426 224 A a generic actuator has become known, in which the pusher button is formed by a pin, with which the two-armed lever is pivoted for Spülauslösung in one and the purge interruption in the other direction. On the two-armed lever two upwardly projecting arms are hinged, which are guided in a backdrop so that the pin engages each with one of these arms. The required force to trigger a flush is relatively large.

Die US 5,265,282 offenbart eine Betätigungsvorrichtung, bei welcher ein Drückerknopf mit zwei Schultern vorgesehen ist, wobei bei der Spülauslösung die eine Schulter mit einem schwenkbaren Arm eines zweiarmigen Hebels und die andere Schulter mit einem zweiten schwenkbaren Arm des zweiarmigen Hebels in Eingriff kommt. Auch hier ist die erforderliche Auslösekraft vergleichsweise gross.The US 5,265,282 discloses an actuator in which a pusher button is provided with two shoulders, wherein in the purging release one shoulder engages a pivotable arm of a two-armed lever and the other shoulder engages a second pivotal arm of the two-armed lever. Again, the required release force is relatively large.

Eine weitere Betätigungsvorrichtung der genannten Art ist im Stand der Technik durch die DE 3422315 A des Anmelders bekannt geworden. Bei dieser ist der Drückerkopf schwenkbar am unteren Ende einer Drückerstange angeordnet. Bei einer Spülauslösung wird dieser Drückerkopf nach unten bewegt und drückt hierbei auf den einen Arm des Hebels und schwenkt diesen um seinen Drehpunkt. Der Drückerkopf wird hierbei auf einer Gleitfläche des Hebels nach rechts oder links ausgeschwenkt. Durch die Schwenkbewegung des Hebels wird der Verschlusskörper des Ablaufventils angehoben und damit das Ventil geöffnet. Mittels einer Feder wird während des Spülvorganges das Drückorgan in die Ausgangslage verschwenkt. Wird vor Beendigung des Spülvorganges nochmals der Drückerkopf nach unten bewegt, so beaufschlagt dieser den andern Arm des Hebels und dadurch wird der Verschlusskörper vorzeitig nach unten bewegt und damit das Auslaufventil geschlossen. Die Spülung kann auf dieser Weise vorzeitig unterbrochen werden, so dass lediglich mit einer Teilmenge gespült wird.Another actuator of the type mentioned in the prior art by the DE 3422315 A have become known to the applicant. In this, the pusher head is pivotally mounted at the lower end of a pusher rod. When a rinse trigger this pusher head is moved down and presses on this one arm of the lever and pivots this around its fulcrum. The pusher head is hereby swung out on a sliding surface of the lever to the right or left. Due to the pivotal movement of the lever, the closure body of the drain valve is raised and thus the valve is opened. By means of a spring, the pressing member is pivoted into the starting position during the flushing process. If the pusher head is moved downwards again before the end of the rinsing process, then it acts on the other arm of the lever and thereby the closure body is prematurely moved downwards and thus the outlet valve is closed. The flushing can be interrupted prematurely in this way, so that is flushed only with a subset.

Die DE 200 18 835 des Anmelders offenbart eine Betätigungsvorrichtung, die eine sogenannte Zweimengen-Spülung ermöglicht. Ein Tastorgan weist hierzu zwei Tasten auf, von denen die eine für eine Vollspülung und die andere für eine Teilspülung vorgesehen ist. Bei der Teilspülung wird mit dem Verschlusskörper ein Gewicht angehoben, welches nach dem Öffnen des Ablaufventils den Verschlusskörper belastet und diesen vorzeitig nach unten auf den Ventilsitz bewegt. Bei der Vollspülung wird beispielsweise mit sechs Litern und bei der Teilspülung mit drei Litern gespült. Das Drückerorgan besteht hier aus zwei Teilen, die jeweils mit einem Hebel verbunden sind. Wird der eine dieser Hebel verschwenkt, so wird lediglich der Verschlusskörper angehoben. Beim Verschwenken des anderen Hebels werden der Verschlusskörper und das Gewicht angehoben. Bei dieser Betätigungsvorrichtung ist eine beliebige Spülunterbrechung nicht möglich.The DE 200 18 835 Applicant's disclosure discloses an actuator which enables a so-called dual flush. A feeler has for this purpose two buttons, one of which is intended for a full flush and the other for a partial flush. During the partial flushing, a weight is lifted with the closure body, which after opening the drain valve loads the closure body and moves it prematurely downwards onto the valve seat. In the case of full flushing, for example, it is flushed with six liters and the partial flush with three liters. The trigger member here consists of two parts, each connected to a lever. If one of these levers pivoted, only the closure body is raised. When pivoting the other lever of the closure body and the weight are raised. In this actuator, any rinse interruption is not possible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Betätigungsvorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine unterbrechbare Betätigung mit kleinerem Drückerhub und kleinerer Auslösekraft ermöglicht. Die Betätigung soll zudem funktionssicher sein.The invention has for its object to provide an actuator of the type mentioned, which allows an interruptible operation with a smaller pusher stroke and a smaller release force. The operation should also be reliable.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Betätigungsvorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik ist bei der erfindungsgemässen Betätigungsvorrichtung der Drückerkopf zweistückig. Durch diese Zweistückigkeit ist eine Arbeitsaufteilung möglich, wobei das eine Stück lediglich zum Anheben des Verschlusskörpers und das andere Stück lediglich zum Senken des Verschlusskörpers vorgesehen sind. Dies ermöglicht eine optimale Auslegung der beider Stücke im Hinblick auf die Auslösekraft und die Kraft zum Senken des Verschlusskörpers. Insbesondere kann das Stück zur Auslösung der Spülung so ausgebildet sein, dass dieser vergleichsweise weit vom Drehpunkt des Hebels am Kraftarm angreift. Damit kann die Auslösekraft verkleinert werden. Die Betätigung kann somit mit kleinerer Kraft und damit einfacher und bequemer erfolgen. Es hat sich auch gezeigt, dass durch die genannte Zweistückigkeit des Drückerkopfes die Betätigungsvorrichtung funktionssicherer ausgebildet werden kann. Insbesondere kann ein Verklemmen und eine Funktionsstörung durch Verkalken weitgehend vermieden werden.The object is achieved in a generic actuator according to claim 1. In contrast to the prior art, the pusher head is in two pieces in the inventive actuator. By this Zweistückigkeit a division of labor is possible, which are provided only one piece for lifting the closure body and the other piece only for lowering the closure body. This allows an optimal design of both pieces with regard to the release force and the force to lower the closure body. In particular, the piece may be designed to trigger the flushing so that it acts comparatively far from the pivot point of the lever on the power arm. Thus, the release force can be reduced. The operation can thus be done with less force and thus easier and more convenient. It has also been found that the actuating device can be designed to be functionally reliable due to the aforementioned two-piece nature of the pusher head. In particular, jamming and malfunctioning due to calcification can be largely avoided.

Ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung wenigstens eines der beiden Stücke beweglich, so ist eine besonders kompakte Ausführung möglich. Das bewegliche Stück ist vorzugsweise schwenkbar am Drückerkopf gelagert.Is at least one of the two pieces movable according to a development of the invention, a particularly compact design is possible. The movable piece is preferably pivotally mounted on the pusher head.

Die Betätigungsvorrichtung kann vergleichsweise einfacher und kompakter Weise als unterbrechbare Zweimengen-Garnitur ausgebildet werden. Bei dieser kann wahlweise eine Teilspülung mit einer vorbestimmten Spülmenge oder eine Vollspülung ausgelöst werden. Als weitere Wahlmöglichkeit kann nach der Auslösung der Vollspülung diese beliebig unterbrochen werden. Möglich sind somit eine Vollspülung, eine Teilspülung sowie eine Vollspülung mit beliebiger Unterbrechung. Der Benutzer hat somit mehrere Möglichkeiten, die zweckmässige Spülung zu wählen.The actuator can be made relatively simpler and more compact way than interruptible two-set set. In this case, either a partial flush with a predetermined flush volume or a full flush can be triggered. As a further option can be interrupted as desired after triggering the full flush. Thus, a full flush, a partial flush and a full flush with any interruption are possible. The user thus has several options to choose the appropriate flushing.

Die in den Fig. 1, 1a und 2 gezeigte Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 ist in einer Öffnung 6 eines Spülkastendeckels 2 befestigt und dient zur Betätigung eines hier lediglich schematisch gezeigten Ablaufventil 36. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 und das Ablaufventil 36 bilden eine Ablaufgarnitur, die in einem hier nicht gezeigten Spülkasten angeordnet ist, mit dem ein Wasserklosett spülbar ist. Das Ablaufventil 36 besteht aus einem Verschlusskörper 33, der zur Spülauslösung von einem hier nicht gezeigten Ventilsitz nach oben abgehoben wird. Mit dem Verschlusskörper 33 kann gleichzeitig ein Gewichtskörper 35 angehoben werden, der den Verschlusskörper 33 belastet und diesen vor einer vollständigen Entleerung des Spülkastens auf den Ventilsitz bewegt. Ablaufventile 36 sind bekannt. Es wird hierzu beispielsweise auf die DE 200 18 835 verwiesen.The actuating device 1 shown in Figs. 1, 1a and 2 is mounted in an opening 6 of a cistern lid 2 and serves to actuate a drain valve 36 shown here only schematically. The actuator 1 and the drain valve 36 form a drain set, which in one not here arranged cistern is arranged, with a water closet is flushable. The drain valve 36 consists of a closure body 33, which is lifted to the Spülauslösung from a valve seat, not shown here upwards. With the closure body 33, a weight body 35 can be raised at the same time, which loads the closure body 33 and moves it to a complete emptying of the cistern on the valve seat. Drain valves 36 are known. It is for this purpose, for example, on the DE 200 18 835 directed.

Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1 weist ein Tastorgan 38 auf, das ein Tastgehäuse 3 besitzt, welches von oben in die Öffnung 6 des Deckels 2 eingesetzt ist und in dem eine grosse Taste 4 sowie eine kleine Taste 5 gelagert sind. Am unteren Ende des Gehäuses 3 ist ein rohrförmiges Befestigungsteil 7 angeformt, das ein Aussengewinde 8 besitzt und das in einen hülsenförmigen Ansatz 9 eines Lagergehäuses 10 eingeschraubt ist. Das Lagergehäuse 10 wird durch das Tastgehäuse 3 von unten an den Deckel 2 angelegt, so dass dieses Lagergehäuse 10 an der Unterseite des Deckels 2 abgestützt und fixiert ist. Dazu ist das Lagerteil 10 gemäss Fig. 1 mit einem Stützteil 37 versehen. Durch die Einschraubtiefe des Gehäuses 3 im Lagergehäuse 10 ist eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Wandstärken des Deckels 2 möglich. Der Deckel 2 kann beispielsweise aus Keramik hergestellt sein.The actuator 1 has a feeler 38, which has a Tastgehäuse 3, which is inserted from above into the opening 6 of the lid 2 and in which a large button 4 and a small button 5 are stored. At the lower end of the housing 3, a tubular fastening part 7 is integrally formed, which has an external thread 8 and which is screwed into a sleeve-shaped projection 9 of a bearing housing 10. The bearing housing 10 is applied by the Tastgehäuse 3 from below to the cover 2, so that this bearing housing 10 is supported and fixed to the underside of the lid 2. For this purpose, the bearing part 10 according to FIG. 1 is provided with a support part 37. Due to the depth of engagement of the housing 3 in the bearing housing 10, an adaptation to different wall thicknesses of the lid 2 is possible. The lid 2 may be made of ceramic, for example.

Die grosse Taste 4 ist an der Unterseite mit einer Drückerstange 13 verbunden, welche den rohrförmigen Verbindungsteil 7 durchgreift und an einem unteren Ende gemäss Fig. 2 ein Gewinde 13a aufweist, das in eine Gewindehülse 17a eines unteren Drückerkopfes 17 eingeschraubt ist. Wird die grosse Taste 4 in Richtung des in Fig. 2 gezeigten Pfeils 39 nach unten bewegt, so wird gleichzeitig die Drückerstange 13 nach unten und mit dieser ebenfalls der untere Drückerkopf 17 nach unten bewegt. Hierbei wird ein unterer Hebel 19 um einen Lagerzapfen 21 verschwenkt. Durch diese Schwenkbewegung wird eine Zugstange 23 und mit dieser der Verschlusskörper 36 angehoben. Dadurch wird das Ablaufventil 36 geöffnet und eine Spülung ausgelöst.The large button 4 is connected at the bottom with a pusher rod 13, which passes through the tubular connecting part 7 and at a lower end according to FIG. 2 has a thread 13 a, which is screwed into a threaded sleeve 17 a of a lower pusher head 17. If the large button 4 is moved downward in the direction of the arrow 39 shown in FIG. 2, the pusher rod 13 is simultaneously moved downwards and with it also the lower pusher head 17 is moved downwards. Here, a lower lever 19 is pivoted about a bearing pin 21. By this pivoting movement, a pull rod 23 and with this the closure body 36 is raised. As a result, the drain valve 36 is opened and a flushing triggered.

Die kleine Taste 5 ist an ihrer Unterseite mit einem Drückerteil 18 verbunden, welcher die Drückerstange 13 bereichsweise koaxial umgibt und ebenfalls den rohrförmigen Verbindungsteil 7 durchgreift. Das Drückerteil 18 ist jedoch kürzer als die Drückerstange 13 und weist gemäss Fig. 2 an seinem unteren Ende ein Aussengewinde 18a auf, das in einen oberen Drückerkopf 12 eingeschraubt ist. Wird die kleine Taste 5 in Richtung des Pfeiles 39 nach unten bewegt, so wird mit dem Hebel 19 ein oberer Hebel 16 verschwenkt und damit die Zugstange 22 angehoben. Dadurch wird mit dem Verschlusskörper 33 gleichzeitig auch das Gewicht 35 angehoben, welches nach der Spülauslösung den Verschlusskörper 33 belastet. Nach einer Spülung mit einer vorbestimmten Teilmenge des Spülwassers wird das Ablaufventil 36 infolge der Belastung des Gewichtes 35 geschlossen. Diese Teilmenge beträgt beispielsweise drei Liter. Wird somit lediglich die grosse Taste 4 betätigt, so wird die Zugstange 23 angehoben und eine Vollspülung ausgelöst. Wird die Taste 5 betätigt, so werden beide Zugstangen 22 und 23 angehoben und eine Teilspülung mit einer vorbestimmten Teilspülmenge ausgelöst. Beim Niederdrücken der grossen Taste 4 wird eine Spiralfeder 15 gespannt, die an einer Platte 14 eines Lagerteils 11 sowie an der Gewindehülse 17a abgestützt ist. Diese Feder 15 unterstützt die Rückführung der Taste 4 in die Ausgangsstellung. Hierbei wird jeweils die kleine Taste 5 mitgenommen.The small button 5 is connected at its bottom with a pusher part 18 which surrounds the pusher rod 13 in regions coaxially and also passes through the tubular connecting part 7. However, the pusher part 18 is shorter than the pusher rod 13 and has according to FIG. 2 at its lower end an external thread 18 a, which is screwed into an upper pusher head 12. If the small button 5 is moved in the direction of the arrow 39 down, so with the lever 19, an upper lever 16 is pivoted and thus the pull rod 22 is raised. As a result, the weight 35, which loads the closure body 33 after the rinsing release, is simultaneously lifted by the closure body 33. After a rinse with a predetermined subset the flushing water, the drain valve 36 is closed due to the load of the weight 35. This subset is, for example, three liters. Thus, if only the big button 4 is pressed, the pull rod 23 is raised and a full flush is triggered. If the key 5 is actuated, then both tie rods 22 and 23 are raised and a partial flush is triggered with a predetermined partial flush volume. When depressing the big button 4, a coil spring 15 is tensioned, which is supported on a plate 14 of a bearing part 11 and on the threaded sleeve 17 a. This spring 15 supports the return of the key 4 in the starting position. In each case, the small key 5 is taken.

Die beiden Hebel 16 und 19 sind an Achszapfen 20 und 21 des Lagerteils 11 schwenkbar gelagert. Diese Lagerzapfen 20 und 21 sind gemäss Fig. 2 seitlich am Lagerteil 11 angeformt und in vertikaler Richtung versetzt. Der untere Hebel 19 weist einen ersten seitlich vorstehenden Nocken 19a und einen ebenfalls seitlich vorstehenden zweiten Nocken 19b auf. Der Abstand des Nockens 19a zum Achszapfen 21 ist gemäss Fig. 1 grösser als der Abstand des Nockens 19b zu diesem Achszapfen 21. Zwischen den beiden Nocken 19 a und 19b befindet sich gemäss Fig. 1 eine Lücke 19c. Der Hebel 19 wirkt mit dem unteren Drückerkopf 17 zusammen. Dieser Drückerkopf 17 ist zweiteilig ausgebildet und besitzt einen unbeweglichen seitlich vorstehenden Teil 32 und einen schwenkbar gelagerten beweglichen Teil 30. Der bewegliche Teil 30 ist schwenkbar an einem Lagerzapfen 31 gelagert, der an der Gewindehülse 17a angeformt ist. Der unbewegliche erste Teil 32 wirkt mit dem Nocken 19a und der bewegliche zweite Teil 30 wirkt mit dem Nocken 19b zusammen. Die Wirkungsweise wird nachfolgend näher erläutert.The two levers 16 and 19 are pivotally mounted on journals 20 and 21 of the bearing part 11. These bearing journals 20 and 21 are formed according to FIG. 2 laterally on the bearing part 11 and offset in the vertical direction. The lower lever 19 has a first laterally projecting cam 19a and a likewise laterally projecting second cam 19b. The distance of the cam 19a to the axle 21 is shown in FIG. 1 is greater than the distance of the cam 19b to this journal 21. Between the two cams 19a and 19b is shown in FIG. 1, a gap 19c. The lever 19 cooperates with the lower pusher head 17. This pusher head 17 is formed in two parts and has an immovable laterally projecting part 32 and a pivotally mounted movable part 30. The movable part 30 is pivotally mounted on a bearing journal 31 which is integrally formed on the threaded sleeve 17a. The immovable first part 32 acts with the cam 19a and the movable second part 30 cooperates with the cam 19b. The mode of action is explained in more detail below.

Der obere Drückerkopf 12 ist lediglich einteilig ausgebildet und weist einen unbeweglichen seitlich vorstehenden Teil 40 auf, der mit einem am oberen Hebel 16 angeformten, seitlich vorstehenden Nocken 16a zusammenwirkt. Zwischen diesem Nocken 16a und einem Arm 16b ist ebenfalls eine Lücke 16c angeordnet. Das obere Drückorgan 12 wirkt, wie oben erläutert, mit dem Drückerteil 18 und somit mit der kleinen Taste 5 zusammen.The upper pusher head 12 is formed only in one piece and has an immovable laterally projecting part 40 which cooperates with a molded on the upper lever 16, laterally projecting cam 16 a. Between this cam 16a and an arm 16b, a gap 16c is also arranged. The upper push member 12 acts, as explained above, with the pusher part 18 and thus with the small key 5 together.

Der Lagerteil 11 bildet mit den Hebeln 16 und 19 eine Einheit, die von unten in das Lagergehäuse eingesetzt und in diesem mit Rastnocken 28 und Rastzungen 29 verrastet ist.The bearing part 11 forms with the levers 16 and 19 a unit which is inserted from below into the bearing housing and locked in this with locking cams 28 and locking tongues 29.

Die Zugstangen 22 und 23 weisen an ihrem oberen Ende jeweils einen horizontalen Schlitz 24 bzw. 25 auf, in welche der Hebel 19 bzw. der Hebel 16 eingreifen. Die Zugstange 23 ist mittels einer Rastung 26 und einem Steg 34 mit dem Verschlusskörper 33 verstellbar verbunden. Die in Fig. 1 nur teilweise sichtbare Zugstange 22 ist mit dem Gewicht 35 verbunden.The tie rods 22 and 23 have at their upper end in each case a horizontal slot 24 and 25, in which the lever 19 and the lever 16 engage. The pull rod 23 is adjustably connected by means of a detent 26 and a web 34 with the closure body 33. The only partially visible in Fig. 1 pull rod 22 is connected to the weight 35.

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung 1' gemäss den Fig. 3 und 4 weist ebenfalls ein Gehäuse 10' auf, in dem ein Lagerteil 11' befestigt ist. Am Lagerteil 11' ist jedoch lediglich ein Lagerzapfen 21 angeformt, an dem ein Hebel 19' schwenkbar gelagert ist. An einem längeren Arm 41 des Hebels 19' ist ein Zapfen 27 angeformt, der in eine hier nicht gezeigte Zugstange eingreift. Ebenfalls an diesem Arm 41 ist ein Nocken 19b' angeformt, der mit einem beweglichen Teil 30' eines Drückerkopfes 17' zusammenarbeitet. Dieser bewegliche 30' ist an einem Lagerzapfen 31' verschwenkbar gelagert und besitzt an seinem unteren Ende eine nach unten ragende Nase 30a; der Zapfen 31' ist an einem Teil 32' des Drückerkopfes 17' angeformt, der mit einem Nocken 19a' zusammenarbeitet. Dieser Nocken 19a' ist an einem kürzeren Arm 42 angeformt und ist seitlich vorstehend ausgebildet. Zwischen den beiden Nocken 19a' und 19b' befindet sich gemäss Fig. 3 eine Lücke 19c.The fastening device 1 'according to FIGS. 3 and 4 likewise has a housing 10' in which a bearing part 11 'is fastened. On the bearing part 11 ', however, only a bearing pin 21 is integrally formed, on which a lever 19' is pivotally mounted. On a longer arm 41 of the lever 19 ', a pin 27 is integrally formed, which engages in a pull rod, not shown here. Also on this arm 41, a cam 19b 'is formed, which cooperates with a movable part 30' of a pusher head 17 '. This movable 30 'is pivotally mounted on a bearing pin 31' and has at its lower end a downwardly projecting nose 30a; the pin 31 'is integrally formed on a part 32' of the pusher head 17 ', which cooperates with a cam 19a'. This cam 19a 'is formed on a shorter arm 42 and is formed laterally projecting. Between The two cams 19a 'and 19b' is shown in FIG. 3, a gap 19c.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist das Tastorgan aus zeichnerischen Gründen nicht dargestellt. Dieses ist wie anhand der Fig. 1 und 2 erläutert, in einen ösenförmigen Ansatz 9' eingeschraubt und am Deckel 2 befestigt. Da die Betätigungsvorrichtung 1' lediglich einen Hebel 19' und einen Drückerkopf 17' aufweist, ist lediglich eine Taste erforderlich, die durch den Ansatz 9' hindurchragt und am Drückerkopf 17' aufliegt. Durch die Feder 15 wird das Drückorgan 17' und die hier nicht gezeigte Taste in der Ruhestellung gehalten. Wird diese Taste gegen die rückwirkende Kraft der Feder 15 und die Last der Verschlusskörpers sowie der Gewichtes nach unten bewegt, so wird der Hebel 19' in Fig. 3 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Der Teil 32' greift hierbei beim Punkt P am Nocken 19a' an und übt damit auf den Hebel 19' ein Drehmoment aus. Der Abstand der Punkte P zum Zentrum des Lagerzapfens 21 ist vergleichsweise gross, so dass mit einer kleiner Kraft ein entsprechend grosses Drehmoment ausgeübt werden kann.In Figs. 3 and 4, the feeler is not shown for illustrative reasons. This is as explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, screwed into a loop-shaped projection 9 'and secured to the cover 2. Since the actuating device 1 'has only one lever 19' and one pusher head 17 ', only one button is required, which protrudes through the lug 9' and rests on the pusher head 17 '. By the spring 15, the pressing member 17 'and the key not shown here is held in the rest position. If this button is moved against the retroactive force of the spring 15 and the load of the closure body and the weight down, the lever 19 'in Fig. 3 is pivoted clockwise. The part 32 'engages at point P on the cam 19a' and thus exerts on the lever 19 'from a torque. The distance of the points P to the center of the journal 21 is comparatively large, so that with a small force, a correspondingly large torque can be exerted.

Anhand der Fig. 5a - 5i wird nachfolgend die Wirkungsweise der Betätigungsvorrichtung 1' erläutert. Diese Erläuterung gilt ebenfalls für die Wirkungsweise der Betätigungsvorrichtung 1, soweit dies den Hebel 19 und das untere Drückorgan 17 betrifft.The operation of the actuating device 1 'is explained below with reference to FIGS. 5a-5i. This explanation also applies to the operation of the actuator 1, as far as the lever 19 and the lower pressing member 17 is concerned.

Die Fig. 5a zeigt die Ausgangsstellung. Das Ablaufventil ist geschlossen und der Spülkasten mit Spülwasser gefüllt. Der Hebel 19' ist, wie ersichtlich, zur Horizontalen geneigt und etwa in Zwei-Uhr-Stellung. Zur Spülauslösung wird die hier nicht gezeigte Taste in Richtung des Pfeiles 39 nach unten bewegt und diese Bewegung wird auf den Drückerkopf 17' übertragen, der entsprechend geführt nach unten bewegt wird. Durch den Druck des Teils 32' auf den Nocken 19a' wird der Hebel 19' in Richtung des Pfeiles 43 verschwenkt. Hierbei wird die lediglich angedeutete Zugstange 23' angehoben und das Ablaufventil geöffnet. Das Drückorgan 17' wird weiter nach unten bewegt und der Hebel 19' schliesslich in die in Fig. 5g gezeigte Lage verschwenkt. Der Hebel 19' befindet sich hier schliesslich in einer etwa Vier-Uhr-Stellung. Bei dieser Schwenkbewegung, bei welcher das Ablaufventil vollständig geöffnet wird, ist der bewegliche Teil 30' nicht aktiv und greift hierbei zwischen die Nocken 19a' und 19b' in die Lücke 19c' ein. Hierbei wird dieser bewegliche Teil 30' durch den Nocken 19b' verschwenkt, wie die Fig. 5e - 5g deutlich zeigen.Fig. 5a shows the starting position. The drain valve is closed and the cistern filled with rinse water. The lever 19 'is, as can be seen, inclined to the horizontal and approximately in the two o'clock position. For Spülauslösung the key not shown here in the direction of the arrow 39 is moved down and this movement is transmitted to the pusher head 17 ', which is moved accordingly guided down. By the pressure of the part 32 'on the cam 19a', the lever 19 'in the direction of the arrow 43 pivots. Here, the merely indicated pull rod 23 'is raised and the drain valve is opened. The pressing member 17 'is further moved down and the lever 19' finally pivoted to the position shown in Fig. 5g. The lever 19 'is here finally in an approximately four o'clock position. In this pivoting movement, in which the drain valve is fully opened, the movable part 30 'is not active and engages between the cams 19a' and 19b 'in the gap 19c' here. In this case, this movable part 30 'is pivoted by the cam 19b', as Figs. 5e - 5g clearly show.

Befindet sich der Hebel 19' in der in Fig. 5g gezeigten Stellung, so ist, wie erläutert, das Ablaufventil geöffnet und der Spülvorgang eingeleitet. Wir nun die Taste losgelassen, so gelangt das Drückerorgan 17' durch die Wirkung der.Feder 15 in die in Fig. 5 h gezeigte Ausgangsstellung. In dieser befindet sich die Nase 30a' unmittelbar über einer Nase 19d' des Nockens 19b'; wird nun die Taste nochmals nach unten bewegt, so wird der Drückerkopf 17' ebenfalls aus der gezeigten Ausgangsstellung nach unten bewegt. Der bewegliche Teil 30' greift nun mit der Nase 30a' am Nocken 19b' an und verschwenkt den Hebel 19' in Richtung des Pfeiles 44 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn. Durch diese Bewegung wird die Zugstange 23' nach unten bewegt. Da die Zugstange 23' mit dem Verschlusskörper 33 verbunden ist, wird dieser nach unten bewegt und damit das Ablaufventil geschlossen. Durch die Bewegung des Drückorgans 17' gemäss den Fig. 5 h und 5 i wird somit das Ablaufventil geschlossen. Diese Bewegung ist nach der Spülauslösung und der Rückführung des Drückerkopfes 17' in die Ausgangsstellung jederzeit möglich. Die Spülung kann somit an sich beliebig unterbrochen werden. Es kann somit beispielsweise mit drei Litern oder mit sechs Litern gespült werden. Im Unterschied zur Zweimengen-Spülung ist somit die Teilspülung frei wählbar.If the lever 19 'is in the position shown in FIG. 5g, then, as explained, the drain valve is opened and the flushing process is initiated. When the key is released, the trigger member 17 'passes through the action of the spring 15 into the starting position shown in FIG. 5 h. In this is the nose 30a 'immediately above a nose 19d' of the cam 19b '; If the key is then moved downwards again, the pusher head 17 'is also moved downwards from the starting position shown. The movable part 30 'now engages with the nose 30a' on the cam 19b 'and pivots the lever 19' in the direction of the arrow 44 in the counterclockwise direction. By this movement, the pull rod 23 'is moved downward. Since the pull rod 23 'is connected to the closure body 33, this is moved downward and thus the drain valve is closed. By the movement of the pressing member 17 'according to FIGS. 5 h and 5 i, the drain valve is thus closed. This movement is at any time possible after flushing and the return of the pusher head 17 'in the starting position. The flushing can thus be interrupted as desired. It can thus be rinsed, for example, with three liters or six liters. In contrast to the dual-flush, the partial flush can therefore be freely selected.

Wird die Taste nach der Spülunterbrechung losgelassen, so geht der Drückerkopf 17' in die in Fig. 5a gezeigte Ausgangsstellung zurück. Der Spülkasten wird nun wieder gefüllt und ist dann für eine weitere Spülung bereit.If the key is released after the rinse interruption, then the pusher head 17 'returns to the initial position shown in FIG. 5a. The cistern is now filled again and is then ready for another rinse.
