Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Uriniervorrichtung zur gegebenenfalls nachträglichen Anbringung an eine eine Toilettenbrille und/oder einen Toilettendeckel aufweisenden Toilettenschüssel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a urination device for optionally subsequent attachment to a toilet bowl and / or a toilet lid having toilet bowl according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist hinlänglich bekannt, dass Männer am liebsten im Stehen urinieren, was leider zur Folge hat, dass mitunter die dabei benutzten Sitztoiletten über Gebühr verschmutzt werden.It is well known that men prefer to urinate while standing, which unfortunately has the consequence that sometimes the seated toilets used are overly polluted.

Aus der DE 100 29 910 A1 , der US 5,564,135 A , der DE 100 48 667 A1 und der US 4,348,776 sind Uriniervorrichtungen bekannt, die nachträglich an der Toilette anbringbar sind und bei denen mit Anheben der Toilettenbrille ein Uriniereinsatz herausgefahren wird.From the DE 100 29 910 A1 , of the US 5,564,135 A , of the DE 100 48 667 A1 and the US 4,348,776 Urinating devices are known, which are subsequently attachable to the toilet and in which lifting a toilet seat, a Uriniereinsatz is driven out.

Der Uriniereinsatz gemäß der DE 100 29 910 A1 setzt sich aus einer Anzahl teleskopartig ineinander verschachtelter ovalzylindrischer Einsätze zusammen, wobei der oberste Einsatz an einem umklappbaren Hebelarm gehalten ist. Dieser Hebelarm wiederum wird an zwei nach außen abstehenden Auskragungen der Toilettenbrille angeschraubt, so dass der Hebelarm rechts und links neben der eigentlichen Toilettenschüssel angeordnet ist, wenn die Toilettenbrille geschlossen ist. Dabei ist es problematisch, den Uriniereinsatz gemäß der DE 100 29 910 A1 sauber zu halten, weil die teleskopartig ineinanderverschachtelten Einsätze schwer zugänglich sind. Darüber hinaus ist die Hebeanlage gemäß DE 100 29 910 A1 aufwendig in der Herstellung und Montage, weil zur Befestigung des Schwenkarmes eine spezielle Toilettenbrille erforderlich ist, die die notwendigen Auskragungen nach rechts und links aufweist.The urine use according to the DE 100 29 910 A1 is composed of a number of telescopically nested oval cylindrical inserts, wherein the topmost insert is held on a folding lever arm. This lever arm in turn is screwed to two outwardly protruding projections of the toilet seat, so that the lever arm is located to the right and left of the actual toilet bowl when the toilet seat is closed. It is problematic, the Uriniereinsatz according to the DE 100 29 910 A1 keep clean because the telescopically nested inserts are difficult to access. In addition, the lifting system is according to DE 100 29 910 A1 consuming in the production and installation, because a special toilet seat is required to attach the swing arm, which has the necessary projections to the right and left.

Der Uriniereinsatz gemäß der US 5,564,135 A ist ähnlich einem Faltenbalg ausgebildet und kann zieharmonikaähnlich zusammengefaltet werden. Dabei ist der obere Rand dieses Uriniereinsatzes an einer aus mehreren beweglichen Hebelarmen zusammengesetzten Hebeanlage angebracht, welche sich wiederum einerseits auf der Toilettenschüssel abstützt und welche andererseits an der Toilettenbrille angeschraubt ist. Die oben genannten Nachteile gelten hier in analoger Weise, denn auch hier ist der Uriniereinsatz nur schwer sauber zu halten, weil sich der Uriniereinsatz faltenartig zusammenlegt und in den jeweiligen Falten schwer zugänglich ist.The urine use according to the US 5,564,135 A is similar to a bellows and can be folded like a concertina. The upper edge of this Uriniereinsatzes is attached to a compound of several movable lever arms lifting system, which in turn is supported on the one hand on the toilet bowl and which on the other hand is screwed to the toilet seat. The above-mentioned disadvantages apply here in an analogous manner, because even here the Uriniereinsatz is difficult to keep clean, because the Uriniereinsatz folds folds and is difficult to access in the respective folds.

Des Weiteren ist die Hebeanlage gemäß der US 5,564,135 A sehr aufwendig in der Herstellung und sehr anfällig gegen Beschädigungen, so dass ein zuverlässiger Betrieb dieser Uriniervorrichtung nicht dauerhaft gewährleistet werden kann.Furthermore, the lifting system according to the US 5,564,135 A very expensive to manufacture and very susceptible to damage, so that a reliable operation of this Uriniervorrichtung can not be guaranteed permanently.

Aus der DE 100 48 667 A1 ist ein Uriniereinsatz bekannt, der eine starre Hebeanlage und einen aus textilem Material gefertigten Uriniereinsatz aufweist. Dabei wird der Uriniereinsatz zwischen der Toilettenbrille und dem Toilettendeckel angeordnet und kann bei Bedarf vollständig nach oben weggeklappt werden. Dabei faltet sich der Uriniereinsatz auf engstem Raum zusammen und wird an dem Toilettendeckel angeordnet. Das zuvor Gesagte gilt hier in analoger Weise, denn auch dieser textile Uriniereinsatz ist schwer sauber zu halten und das hier erforderliche Gestänge ist sehr aufwendig in der Herstellung und anfällig gegen Beschädigungen.From the DE 100 48 667 A1 is a Uriniereinsatz known, which has a rigid lifting system and made of textile material Uriniereinsatz. The Uriniereinsatz between the toilet seat and the toilet lid is arranged and can be folded away completely if necessary. The Uriniereinsatz folds together in a confined space and is placed on the toilet lid. The above is true here in an analogous manner, because even this textile Uriniereinsatz is difficult to keep clean and the required linkage here is very expensive to manufacture and prone to damage.

Aus der US 4,348,776 ist ein Uriniereinsatz bekannt, der sich ebenfalls teleskopartig auseinanderziehen lässt. Allerdings ist dieser Einsatz nach vorne hin offen. Auch dieser Uriniereinsatz gemäß US 4,348,776 ist schwer zu reinigen und aufwendig in der Herstellung und Montage.From the US 4,348,776 is a Uriniereinsatz known, which can also be telescoped apart. However, this deployment is open to the front. Also this Uriniereinsatz according to US 4,348,776 is difficult to clean and expensive to manufacture and assemble.

Davon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Uriniervorrichtung zu schaffen, die leicht zu reinigen ist und die ohne großen Aufwand hergestellt und montiert werden kann.Based on this, the object of the present invention is to provide a urination device which is easy to clean and which can be manufactured and assembled without much effort.

Als technische Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß eine Uriniervorrichtung gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 vorgeschlagen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen dieser Vorrichtung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.As a technical solution to this problem, a urination device according to the features of claim 1 is proposed according to the invention. Advantageous developments of this device can be found in the dependent claims.

Eine nach dieser technischen Lehre ausgebildete Uriniervorrichtung hat den Vorteil, dass der Uriniereinsatz in einfacher Weise in vorhandene Toilettenschüsseln einsetzbar ist, so dass die in den Haushalten vorhandenen Toiletten in einfacher Weise nachgerüstet werden können.A trained according to this technical teaching Uriniervorrichtung has the advantage that the Uriniereinsatz in a simple manner in existing toilet bowls can be used so that the existing in households toilets can be retrofitted in a simple manner.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass der aus einem Stück hergestellte Uriniereinsatz keinerlei unzugängliche Flächen aufweist und somit einfach gereinigt werden kann. In der Regel wird die Außenseite des Uriniereinsatzes beim regulären Spülen der Toilette gereinigt und die Innenseite des Uriniereinsatzes ist in einfacher Weise zum Beispiel mit einer Toilettenbürste erreichbar, so dass auch hier die Reinigung in einfacher Weise erfolgen kann.Another advantage is that the Uriniereinsatz made in one piece has no inaccessible surfaces and thus can be easily cleaned. In general, the outside of the Uriniereinsatzes is cleaned during regular flushing of the toilet and the inside of Uriniereinsatzes is easily accessible, for example, with a toilet brush, so that here too, the cleaning can be done in a simple manner.

Noch ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass dieser aus einem einzigen, zylindrischen oder ovalzylindrischen Korpus bestehende Uriniereinsatz kostengünstig hergestellt und in einfacher Weise montiert werden kann.Yet another advantage is that this Uriniereinsatz existing from a single, cylindrical or oval cylindrical body can be inexpensively manufactured and mounted in a simple manner.

Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, den Uriniereinsatz aus einem formstabilen Material, insbesondere aus Hartkunststoff, herzustellen, da der Uriniereinsatz hierdurch eine eigene Steifigkeit aufweist und somit die von der Hebeanlage angreifenden Kräfte selbstständig aufnehmen kann, ohne dass hierfür weitere Bauteile notwendig sind.It has proven to be advantageous to produce the Uriniereinsatz of a dimensionally stable material, in particular of hard plastic, since the Uriniereinsatz thereby has its own rigidity and thus can independently absorb the forces acting on the lifting system, without the need for further components are necessary.

Des Weiteren hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, den Uriniereinsatz in seinem angehobenen Zustand um einen Winkel zwischen 15° und 50°, vorzugsweise 30° zu neigen. Dies kommt dem natürlichen Uriniervorgang entgegen.Furthermore, it has proven to be advantageous to tilt the Uriniereinsatz in its raised state by an angle between 15 ° and 50 °, preferably 30 °. This counters the natural urination process.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist am Uriniereinsatz ein umlaufender Kragen angesetzt, mit dem der Uriniereinsatz in der Toilettenschüssel gehalten wird.In a preferred embodiment, a circumferential collar is attached to the Uriniereinsatz, with the Uriniereinsatz is held in the toilet bowl.

In einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst die Hebeanlage einen gekröpften Umlenkhebel, der einerseits mit dem Uriniereinsatz und andererseits mit der Toilettenbrille beziehungsweise dem Toilettendeckel verbunden ist, so dass der Uriniereinsatz beim Öffnen des Toilettendeckels beziehungsweise der Toilettenbrille angehoben wird. Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass der gekröpfte Umlenkhebel an der Rückseite der Toilette unter den Toilettendeckel beziehungsweise unter die Toilettenbrille greift und somit beim Bewegen der Toilettenbrille beziehungsweise des Toilettendeckels mit bewegt wird. Dabei stützt sich der Umlenkhebel auf der Toilettenschüssel ab, so dass die hier entstehende Hebelwirkung zum Anheben des Uriniereinsatzes genutzt werden kann. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Uriniervorrichtung an bestehende Toiletten anzubringen, ohne dass hierzu Löcher gebohrt werden müssen oder andere irreversible Veränderungen vorgenommen werden brauchen. Gleichzeitig umfasst die Uriniervorrichtung nur wenig bewegliche Teile, so dass deren Herstellung und Montage in kostengünstiger Weise erfolgen kann.In a further preferred embodiment, the lifting system comprises a cranked lever, on the one hand with the Uriniereinsatz and on the other hand connected to the toilet seat or the toilet lid, so that the Uriniereinsatz is raised when you open the toilet lid or the toilet seat. It has proved to be advantageous that the cranked lever at the back of the toilet under the toilet lid or under the toilet seat engages and thus when moving the toilet seat or the toilet lid is moved. The lever is supported on the toilet bowl, so that the resulting leverage can be used to lift the Uriniereinsatzes. This makes it possible to attach the urination device according to the invention to existing toilets, without having to be drilled holes or other irreversible changes need to be made. At the same time, the urination device comprises only a few moving parts, so that their manufacture and assembly can be carried out in a cost-effective manner.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung umfasst die Hebeanlage eine Anschlagstelle, die an der Toilettenbrille angebracht und an der der Umlenkhebel zur Anlage kommt. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der Umlenkhebel stets in seiner definierten Position gehalten wird, wobei ein Verrutschen des Umlenkhebels während der Betätigung der Toilettenbrille vermieden wird. Hierdurch wird die Funktionssicherheit der Hebeanlage deutlich verbessert, ohne hierdurch die Kosten für die Herstellung und Montage der Hebeanlage über gebühr zu erhöhen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the lifting system comprises a stop point, which is attached to the toilet seat and comes to rest on the lever. This ensures that the reversing lever is always kept in its defined position, whereby slipping of the reversing lever is avoided during operation of the toilet seat. As a result, the reliability of the lifting system is significantly improved, without thereby increasing the cost of manufacturing and installation of the lifting system over fee.

Weitere Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Uriniervorrichtung ergeben sich aus der beigefügten Zeichnung und den nachstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen. Ebenso können die vorstehend genannten und die noch weiter ausgeführten Merkmale erfindungsgemäß jeweils einzeln oder in beliebigen Kombinationen miteinander verwendet werden.

In den Figuren 1 bis 5 ist eine handelsübliche Sitztoilette dargestellt, die mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Uriniervorrichtung nachgerüstet wurde. Diese Uriniervorrichtung umfasst einen Uriniereinsatz 10, eine Hebeanlage 12 zum Herausheben des Uriniereinsatzes aus einer Toilettenschüssel 14 sowie Wasserauslassdüsen 16 zum Spülen des Uriniereinsatzes 10. Der aus einem Hartkunststoff hergestellte Uriniereinsatz 10 besitzt an seiner Oberseite einen umlaufenden Kragen 18, der einstückig mit dem Uriniereinsatz 10 verbunden sein kann. In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Kragen 18 als eigenständiges Bauteil gehalten, der den Uriniereinsatz 10 trägt.In the FIGS. 1 to 5 a commercial seat toilet is shown, which has been retrofitted with a urination device according to the invention. This Uriniervorrichtung includes a Uriniereinsatz 10, a lifting system 12 for lifting the Uriniereinsatzes from a toilet bowl 14 and water outlet nozzles 16 for rinsing the Uriniereinsatzes 10. The made of a hard plastic Uriniereinsatz 10 has on its upper side a circumferential collar 18 which integrally connected to the Uriniereinsatz 10 can be. In the embodiment shown here, the collar 18 is held as an independent component, which carries the Uriniereinsatz 10.

Der im Wesentlichen ovalzylindrisch ausgebildete Uriniereinsatz 10 weist an seiner hinteren Seite Wasserauslassdüsen 16 auf, die über einen Schlauch 20 an die Wasserspülung angeschlossen sind, so dass beim Spülen der Toilette auch die Uriniervorrichtung gespült wird.The essentially oval-cylindrical urine insert 10 has at its rear side water outlet nozzles 16, which are connected to the water flushing via a hose 20, so that when flushing the toilet, the urination device is also rinsed.

Die Hebeanlage 12 umfasst einen gekröpften Umlenkhebel 22 und eine Anschlagstange 24. Dabei ist der Umlenkhebel 22 mit dem Kragen 18 schwenkbar verbunden und reicht bis an die Hinterkante der Toilettenbrille 26, wobei das gekröpfte Ende des Umlenkhebels 22 die Toilettenbrille 26 hintergreift. An der Unterseite der Toilettenbrille 26 ist die Anschlagstange 24 derart angebracht, dass sie unter den Umlenkhebel 22 greift. Dies bewirkt, dass beim Hochheben der Toilettenbrille 26 der Umlenkhebel 22 gegen die Anschlagstange 24 gedrückt und beides zusammen mit der Toilettenbrille 26 nach oben verschwenkt wird, so dass hierdurch der am Umlenkhebel 22 angebrachte Kragen 18 ebenfalls nach oben gehoben wird, und somit den Uriniereinsatz 10 aus der Toilettenschüssel 14 heraushebt. Durch die Anbringung des Umlenkhebels 22 nicht in der Mitte des Kragens 18, sondern im hinteren Bereich des Kragens wird erreicht, dass der Kragen unter einem bestimmten Winkel angehoben wird. Dabei liegt das vordere Ende des Kragens auf der Toilettenschüssel 14 auf, während das hintere Ende sich deutlich von der Toilettenschüssel 14 abhebt.The lifting system 12 includes a cranked lever 22 and a stop rod 24. Here, the lever 22 is pivotally connected to the collar 18 and extends to the trailing edge of the toilet seat 26, the cranked end of the reversing lever 22, the toilet seat 26 engages behind. At the bottom of the toilet seat 26, the stop rod 24 is mounted such that it engages under the lever 22. This causes when lifting the toilet seat 26 of the lever 22 is pressed against the stop rod 24 and both pivoted together with the toilet seat 26 upwards, so that in this way the attached to the lever 22 collar 18 is also lifted up, and thus the Urine insert 10 lifts out of the toilet bowl 14. By attaching the reversing lever 22 not in the center of the collar 18, but in the rear region of the collar is achieved that the collar is raised at a certain angle. In this case, the front end of the collar lies on the toilet bowl 14, while the rear end stands out clearly from the toilet bowl 14.
