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.

Betätigungsvorrichtungen der genannten Art sind seit langem bekannt. Sie ermöglichen eine Spülauslösung an der Betätigungsplatte, beispielsweise durch Drücken oder Verschwenken einer Taste. Im Stand der Technik ist durch die DE 200 14 275 U ein Unterputzspülkasten bekannt geworden, der eine Frontplatte mit einer Öffnung aufweist. Durch diese Öffnung kann ein Zusatzstoff in den Behälter des Spülkastens eingefüllt werden. Einfüllöffnungen sind auch aus der DE 10 246 866 A und DE 2003 01 329 U bekannt geworden. Dieser Zusatzstoff ist fest oder flüssig und als Desinfektions- und/oder Duftmittel ausgebildet. Der Zusatzstoff wird in den Spülkasten und somit ins Spülwasser gegeben. Er kann als fester Stoff, beispielsweise als Würfel ausgebildet sein, der sich nach und nach im Spülwasser auflöst. Ist er vollständig aufgelöst, so muss er ersetzt werden. Hierzu gibt es im Stand der Technik bereits zahlreiche Vorschläge. Die genannten Öffnungen sind jedoch teilweise nur aufwändig zugänglich oder beeinträchtigen die Gestaltung der Betätigungsvorrichtung oder deren Funktion.Actuators of the type mentioned have long been known. They allow a rinsing release on the actuator plate, for example by pressing or pivoting a button. In the prior art is by the DE 200 14 275 U a concealed cistern has become known, which has a front panel with an opening. Through this opening, an additive can be filled into the container of the cistern. Einfüllöffnungen are also from the DE 10 246 866 A and DE 2003 01 329 U known. This additive is solid or liquid and designed as a disinfectant and / or fragrance. The additive is added to the cistern and thus to the rinse water. It can be designed as a solid substance, for example as a cube, which gradually dissolves in the rinse water. If it is completely dissolved, it must be replaced. For this purpose, there are already numerous proposals in the prior art. However, these openings are sometimes only consuming accessible or affect the design of the actuator or its function.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Betätigungsvorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die genannten Nachteile vermeidet.The invention has for its object to provide an actuating device of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Betätigungsvorrichtung dadurch gelöst, dass die Betätigungsplatte schwenkbar mit dem Befestigungsrahmen verbunden ist. Beim erfindungsgemässen Spülkasten wird durch Verschwenken der Betätigungsplatte eine Öffnung gebildet. Diese Öffnung eignet sich nicht nur zum Einlegen eines Zusatzstoffes in den Spülkasten, sondern auch für eine Revision bzw. ein Austausch eines Teils im Innern des Spülkastens. Die Betätigungsplatte ist auch in der verschwenkten Stellung fest mit dem Spülkasten verbunden. Da die Öffnung durch eine Schwenkbewegung der Betätigungsplatte geschaffen wird, ist eine zusätzliche separate Öffnung nicht erforderlich. Im Betriebszustand ist die genannte Öffnung somit nicht erkennbar.The object is achieved in a generic actuator by the fact that the actuating plate is pivotally connected to the mounting frame. In the cistern according to the invention, an opening is formed by pivoting the actuating plate. This opening is not only suitable for inserting an additive in the cistern, but also for a revision or replacement of a part inside of the cistern. The actuator plate is firmly connected to the cistern even in the pivoted position. Since the opening is created by a pivoting movement of the actuator plate, an additional separate opening is not required. In operation, the said opening is therefore not recognizable.

Durch ein Verschwenken der Betätigungsplatte kann somit eine Öffnung gebildet werden, durch die das Innere des Spülkastens zugänglich ist. Diese Öffnung kann beispielsweise zum Einwerfen eines Zusatzstoffes, beispielsweise eines Duftmitteleinsatzes, aber auch für eine Revision oder für den Austausch eines Filters, einer Batterie oder eines Gerätes, beispielsweise eines Motors verwendet werden. Nach der Erledigung dieser Arbeiten kann die Betätigungsplatte sehr einfach in die Ausgangsstellung verschwenkt werden, wonach der Spülkasten wieder bereit ist.By pivoting the actuating plate thus an opening can be formed through which the interior of the cistern is accessible. This opening can be used for example for injecting an additive, for example a fragrance insert, but also for a revision or for the replacement of a filter, a battery or a device such as a motor. After completing this work, the actuator plate can be easily pivoted to the starting position, after which the cistern is ready again.

Die Betätigungsplatte wird gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung um einen unteren Rand verschwenkt. Der obere Rand der Betätigungsplatte wird somit vom Befestigungsrahmen bzw. der Revisionsöffnung weg bewegt. Es wird somit am oberen Rand hinter der Betätigungsplatte eine Öffnung gebildet.The actuator plate is pivoted according to an embodiment of the invention around a lower edge. The upper edge of the actuator plate is thus moved away from the mounting frame or the inspection opening. It is thus formed at the top behind the actuator plate an opening.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Befestigungsrahmen und der Halterahmen eine auswechselbare Einheit bilden. Diese ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass sie mit bereits bekannten üblichen Betätigungsplatten kompatibel sind. Die genannte Einheit eignet sich dadurch insbesondere zum Nachrüsten bereits montierter Spülkästen. In diesem Fall muss lediglich der bereits montierte Befestigungsrahmen durch die genannte Einheit ausgetauscht werden.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the mounting frame and the holding frame form a replaceable unit. This is preferably designed so that they are compatible with already known conventional actuation plates. The named unit is thus particularly suitable for retrofitting already installed cisterns. In this case, only the already mounted mounting frame must be replaced by said unit.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Halterahmen an einem Schwenklager schwenkbar mit dem Befestigungsrahmen verbunden ist. Die Schwenkbewegung ist hierbei vorzugsweise begrenzt, so dass die Betätigungsplatte beispielsweise um weniger als 45° verschwenkbar ist. Denkbar ist aber auch ein grösserer Schwenkwinkel. Das Schwenklager ist hierbei vorzugsweise am unteren Rand der Befestigungsplatte bzw. der Betätigungsplatte angeordnet. Zum Verschwenken kann hierbei die Betätigungsplatte an einem oberen Rand gefasst und vom Befestigungsrahmen wegbewegt werden. Nach einer Revision kann dann die Betätigungsplatte wiederum am oberen Rand in die Betriebsposition verschwenkt werden.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the holding frame is pivotally connected to a pivot bearing with the mounting frame. The pivoting movement is preferably limited, so that the actuating plate, for example, by less than 45 ° is pivotable. It is also conceivable, however, a larger swing angle. The pivot bearing is in this case preferably arranged at the lower edge of the mounting plate or the actuating plate. For pivoting, in this case, the actuating plate can be grasped at an upper edge and moved away from the fastening frame. After a revision, the actuating plate can then be pivoted again at the upper edge in the operating position.

Das Einfüllen eines festen Zusatzstoffes ist dann besonders einfach und sicher, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung in der Revisionsöffnung eine Rutsche angeordnet ist, auf welcher der Zusatzstoff in den Spülkasten rutschen kann.The filling of a solid additive is particularly simple and safe, if according to a development of the invention in the access opening a chute is arranged, on which the additive can slip into the cistern.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Befestigungsrahmen und die Lagervorrichtung für die Betätigungsplatte einen Bausatz zum Nachrüsten eines bereits montierten Spülkastens bilden. Die Lagervorrichtung wird hier insbesondere durch den genannten Halterahmen gebildet. Dies ist jedoch für die Erfindung nicht zwingend. Anstelle des Halterahmens könnte auch sonst ein Teil vorgesehen sein, das am Befestigungsrahmen befestigt ist und das eine Bewegung, beispielsweise eine Schwenkbewegung der Betätigungsplatte ermöglicht. Der Bausatz umfasst zudem vorzugsweise die genannte Rutsche und/oder einen Auffangbehälter. Dieser Auffangbehälter ist beispielsweise und insbesondere an einem an sich bekannten Lagerbock gelagert, der sich hinter der Revisionsöffnung befindet.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the mounting frame and the bearing device for the actuator plate form a kit for retrofitting an already mounted cistern. The storage device is formed here in particular by the said holding frame. However, this is not mandatory for the invention. Instead of the holding frame could otherwise be provided a part which is fixed to the mounting frame and which allows a movement, for example a pivoting movement of the actuator plate. The kit also preferably includes the said chute and / or a collecting container. This collecting container is stored for example and in particular on a known bearing block, which is located behind the inspection opening.

Die Erfindung betrifft zudem einen Spülkasten mit einer solchen Betätigungsvorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren für eine Revision oder den Unterhalt eines solchen Spülkastens.The invention also relates to a cistern with such an actuator and a method for a revision or the maintenance of such a cistern.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Der Spülkasten 1 besitzt einen Behälter 2 beispielsweise aus Kunststoff, der einen Innenraum 4 aufweist, in dem ein hier nicht gezeigtes Auslaufventil angeordnet ist. Im Innenraum 4 befindet sich zudem ein Einlaufventil, mit dem nach einer Spülung Spülwasser eingeleitet werden kann. Der Spülkasten ist hier insbesondere ein Unterputzspülkasten und besitzt eine Revisionsöffnung, an der ein Bauschutzrahmen 7 befestigt ist, welcher in eine Öffnung 9 einer Wand 8 eingreift. Dieser Bauschutzrahmen 7 ist entsprechend der Dicke der Wand tief. Der Bauschutzrahmen 7 ist für die Erfindung aber nicht zwingend. Auf den Bauschutzrahmen 7 oder gegebenenfalls direkt am Behälter 2 ist ein Befestigungsrahmen 10 befestigt, der mit einem Halterahmen 12 gemäss Figur 3 eine Lagervorrichtung 11 bildet. Der Befestigungsrahmen 10 dient zur Aufnahme hier nicht gezeigter Betätigungsmittel, welche mit dem Auslaufventil verbunden sind und die es ermöglichen, bei einer Betätigung dieses Ventil zu öffnen.The cistern 1 has a container 2, for example made of plastic, which has an interior 4, in which a not shown here outlet valve is arranged. In the interior 4 there is also an inlet valve with which rinsing water can be introduced after flushing. The cistern is in particular a concealed cistern and has an inspection opening to which a Bauschutzrahmen 7 is fixed, which engages in an opening 9 of a wall 8. This Bauschutzrahmen 7 is deep according to the thickness of the wall. The Bauschutzrahmen 7 is not mandatory for the invention. On the Bauschutzrahmen 7 or optionally directly on the container 2, a mounting frame 10 is fixed, which with a support frame 12 according to FIG. 3 a storage device 11 forms. The mounting frame 10 serves to receive actuating means, not shown here, which are connected to the outlet valve and which make it possible to open this actuator when actuated.

Der Halterahmen 12 dient zur Lagerung einer Betätigungsplatte 30, die zur Spülauslösung wenigstens eine Taste 31 aufweist, die an einer Frontseite 38 gegen ein Federelement 34 verschwenkbar ist. Anstelle einer Taste 31 sind hier aber auch andere Auslösemittel, beispielsweise ein Drücker oder dergleichen denkbar. Grundsätzlich ist auch eine berührungslose Spülauslösung denkbar. Für eine Revision kann die Betätigungsplatte 30 vollständig abgenommen werden. Zur lösbaren Befestigung der Betätigungsplatte 30 an der Lagervorrichtung 11 besitzt die Betätigungsplatte 30 einen unteren Rand 32, der in bekannter Weise an einem Federelement 14 einhängbar ist. Ferner besitzt die Betätigungsplatte 30 einen oberen Rand 33, der in der montierten Stellung in eine Nut 35 des Halterahmens 12 eingreift. Diese Nut 35 befindet sich unmittelbar vor einer Frontseite 36 der Wand 8'. Zum Montieren wird die Betätigungsplatte 30 am unteren Rand 32 am Federelement 14 eingehängt und dann gegen die rückwirkende Kraft der Feder nach oben bewegt, so dass der obere Rand 33 in die Nut 35 eingreifen kann. Durch die Kraft des Federelementes 14 wird der obere Rand 33 in der Nut 35 gehalten. Zum Lösen der Betätigungsplatte 30 wird diese gegen die Kraft der Feder 14 nach oben geschoben, so dass der obere Rand 33 aus der Nut 35 herausgehoben wird.The holding frame 12 serves to support an actuating plate 30, which has at least one button 31 for flushing release, which is pivotable on a front side 38 against a spring element 34. Instead of a key 31 but here also other release means, such as a pusher or the like are conceivable. In principle, a non-contact rinsing release is also conceivable. For a revision, the actuator plate 30 can be completely removed. For releasable attachment of the actuator plate 30 to the bearing device 11, the actuator plate 30 has a lower edge 32 which is suspended in a known manner to a spring element 14. Further, the actuator plate 30 has an upper edge 33 which engages in the mounted position in a groove 35 of the holding frame 12. This groove 35 is located immediately in front of a front side 36 of the wall 8 '. To mount the actuator plate 30 is suspended at the lower edge 32 on the spring element 14 and then moved against the retroactive force of the spring upwards, so that the upper edge 33 can engage in the groove 35. By the force of the spring element 14, the upper edge 33 is held in the groove 35. To release the actuator plate 30, this is pushed against the force of the spring 14 upwards, so that the upper edge 33 is lifted out of the groove 35.

Der Halterahmen 12 ist an einem Gelenk 13 schwenkbar mit dem Befestigungsrahmen 10 verbunden. Der Halterahmen 12 besitzt eine Betriebsstellung, die in Figur 4 gezeigt ist. In dieser Betriebsstellung ist die Betätigungsplatte 30 gemäss Figur 1 an der Frontseite 36 angelegt. Die andere Stellung ist eine Einfüllstellung, die in Figur 2 gezeigt ist. In dieser ist der Halterahmen 12 gemäss Figur 3 verschwenkt. Die Betätigungsplatte 30 ist weiterhin fest mit dem Befestigungsrahmen 10 verbunden, der obere Rand 33 ist hier jedoch im Abstand zum Befestigungsrahmen 10 bzw. zur Frontseite 36 angeordnet. Zwischen dem oberen Rand 33 und der Frontseite 36 ist hier somit eine Öffnung 42 gebildet. Der Schwenkwinkel des Halterahmens 12 wird durch zwei Stege 44 begrenzt, die in der Einfüllstellung gemäss Figur 3 jeweils an einem Nocken 45 des Befestigungsrahmens 10 anliegen. Zum Bilden der Öffnung 42 könnte die Betätigungsplatte grundsätzlich auch um eine andere Kante verschwenkt werden, beispielsweise an einer Seitenkante oder grundsätzlich könnte die Betätigungsplatte 30 auch so gelagert sein, dass sie zur Freigabe einer Öffnung verschiebbar ist.The holding frame 12 is pivotally connected to the mounting frame 10 at a hinge 13. The holding frame 12 has an operating position, which in FIG. 4 is shown. In this operating position, the actuator plate 30 is according to FIG. 1 created on the front side 36. The other position is a filling position, which in FIG. 2 is shown. In this, the holding frame 12 is according FIG. 3 pivoted. The actuator plate 30 is further fixedly connected to the mounting frame 10, the upper edge 33 is here, however, at a distance from the mounting frame 10 and zur Frontseite 36 angeordnet. Arranged. Between the upper edge 33 and the front side 36 thus an opening 42 is formed here. The pivot angle of the holding frame 12 is limited by two webs 44, which in the filling position according to FIG. 3 each abut a cam 45 of the mounting frame 10. To form the opening 42, the actuating plate could in principle also be pivoted about another edge, for example on one side edge or, in principle, the actuating plate 30 could also be mounted so that it is displaceable to release an opening.

In der Betriebsstellung ist der Halterahmen 12 an wenigstens einem Rastmittel 20, beispielsweise einer Rastfeder verrastet. Diese Rastverbindung kann gelöst werden, indem die Betätigungsplatte 30 am oberen Rand 33 gefasst und von der Frontseite 36 weggezogen wird. Wird die Betätigungsplatte 30 gemäss Pfeil 40 aus der Einfiillstellung in die Betriebsstellung verschwenkt, so rastet die Feder 20 selbsttätig am Halterahmen 12 ein. Anstelle einer Rastverbindung ist auch eine andere lösbare Verbindung, beispielsweise eine magnetische Verbindung oder dergleichen denkbar.In the operating position of the holding frame 12 is latched to at least one locking means 20, for example a detent spring. This locking connection can be solved by the actuator plate 30 is taken at the upper edge 33 and pulled away from the front side 36. If the actuator plate 30 is pivoted from the Einfiillstellung into the operating position according to arrow 40, so the spring 20 automatically engages the support frame 12 a. Instead of a latching connection is also another releasable connection, such as a magnetic connection or the like conceivable.

Am Halterahmen 12 ist rückseitig ein Einwurfbecher 17 befestigt, der in der Einfüllstellung gemäss Figur 3 in eine Öffnung 41 des Befestigungsrahmens 10 hineinragt. Wird der Halterahmen 12 aus der in Figur 3 gezeigten Einfiillstellung in die Betriebsstellung bewegt, so wird der Einwurfbecher 17 weiter durch die Öffnung 41 gegen den Behälter 2 verschoben. Dadurch kann ein in den Einwurfbecher 17 eingelegtes Zusatzmittel 43 durch die Öffnung 41 hindurch bewegt und auf eine Rutsche 16 geschoben werden. Bei der genannten Bewegung des Halterahmens 12 wird der Einwurfbecher 17 nach unten bewegt, so dass das genannte Zusatzmittel 43, das beispielsweise als Würfel ausgebildet ist, auf die Rutsche 16 fällt und auf dieser weiter nach unten schliesslich in den Innenraum 4 gelangt. Die Rutsche 16 ist an einem Gelenk 18 am Befestigungsrahmen 10 schwenkbar gelagert. Dies ermöglicht eine Anpassung an unterschiedlich tiefe Bauschutzrahmen 7. Zudem kann die Rutsche 16 nötigenfalls abgelängt werden.On the holding frame 12, a feed cup 17 is attached to the back, which in the filling position according to FIG. 3 protrudes into an opening 41 of the mounting frame 10. If the holding frame 12 from the in FIG. 3 shown Einfiillstellung moved into the operating position, the throw-in cup 17 is further moved through the opening 41 against the container 2. As a result, an inserted into the throw-in cup 17 additive 43 can be moved through the opening 41 and pushed onto a chute 16. In the mentioned movement of the holding frame 12, the throw-in cup 17 is moved downwards, so that said additive 43, which is formed, for example, as a cube, falls onto the chute 16 and finally reaches the interior 4 further down there. The chute 16 is pivotally mounted on a hinge 18 on the mounting frame 10. This allows adaptation to different depths Butzutzrahmen 7. In addition, the chute 16 can be cut to length, if necessary.

Im Behälter 2 ist an einem Halter 46 ein Auffangbehälter 15 angeordnet. Der Halter 46 ist an einem oberen Ende an einem Lagerbock 5 befestigt. Der Auffangbehälter 15 ist so angeordnet, dass ein auf der Rutsche 16 nach unten gleitendes Zusatzmittel 43 in diesen fällt. Der Auffangbehälter 15 ist unterseitig offen und befindet sich auf einer Höhe, in der er üblicherweise sich im Spülwasser befindet. Aus dem Zusatzmittel 43 wird dann somit der vorgesehene Stoff ausgelöst. Der Stoff ist beispielsweise ein Desinfektionsmittel und/oder Duftmittel. Solche Zusatzmittel bzw. Würfel sind handelsüblich.In the container 2, a collecting container 15 is arranged on a holder 46. The holder 46 is attached to a bearing block 5 at an upper end. The collecting container 15 is arranged so that an additive 43 sliding downwards on the chute 16 drops into it. The collecting container 15 is open on the underside and is at a height in which it is usually located in the rinse water. From the additive 43, the intended substance is then released. The substance is for example a disinfectant and / or fragrance. Such additives or cubes are commercially available.

Die Betätigungsplatte 30 kann wie bereits bekannt ausgebildet sein. Die Betätigungsplatte 30 kann beispielsweise eine bekannte Platte des Anmelders sein. Die Lagervorrichtung 11 ist so ausgebildet, dass sie anstelle eines bekannten Befestigungsrahmens montiert werden kann oder ein bereits montierter Befestigungsrahmen durch die Lagervorrichtung 11 ersetzt werden kann. Dies ermöglicht somit ein einfaches Nachrüsten bekannter montierter Spülkästen. Der Bausatz, der ein Nachrüsten ermöglicht, umfasst somit wenigstens die Lagervorrichtung 11. Zusätzlich umfasst dieser Bausatz zudem den Einwurfbecher 17, die Rutsche 16, den Halter 46 und den Auffangbecher 15. Der Halter 46 ist so ausgebildet, dass er an einem bekannten Lagerbock 5 eingehängt werden kann.The actuator plate 30 may be formed as already known. The actuator plate 30 may be, for example, a known plate of the applicant. The bearing device 11 is designed so that it can be mounted instead of a known mounting frame or an already mounted mounting frame can be replaced by the bearing device 11. This thus allows easy retrofitting known mounted cisterns. The kit, which allows retrofitting, thus comprises at least the bearing device 11. In addition, this kit also includes the throw-in cup 17, the chute 16, the holder 46 and the collecting cup 15. The holder 46 is formed so that it on a known bearing block. 5 can be hung.

Zum Nachrüsten wird der montierte Befestigungsrahmen entfernt. Anschliessend wird der Halter 46 mit dem Auffangbehälter 15 in den Behälter 2 eingelegt. Anschliessend wird die Lagervorrichtung 11 am Bauschutzrahmen 7 befestigt. Die Rutsche 16 kann hierbei vormontiert sein. Dies gilt ebenfalls für den Einwurfbecher 17. Nun wird die Betätigungsplatte 30 gemäss Figur 4 in Richtung des Pfeiles 39 auf die Lagervorrichtung 11 aufgesetzt. Die Rückseite 37 der Betätigungsplatte 30 liegt nunmehr am Halterahmen 12 an. Wie bereits oben erläutert greift der obere Rand 33 in die Nut 35 ein, wobei das Federelement 14 gespannt ist. Der Spülkasten 1 ist nun wieder bereit und ermöglicht das genannte Einfüllen eines Zusatzmittels 43. Die Spülauslösung erfolgt wie vor dem Nachrüsten.For retrofitting, the mounted mounting frame is removed. Subsequently, the holder 46 is inserted with the collecting container 15 in the container 2. Subsequently, the storage device 11 is attached to the Bauschutzrahmen 7. The chute 16 can be preassembled in this case. This also applies to the throw-in cup 17. Now, the actuator plate 30 according to FIG. 4 placed in the direction of arrow 39 on the bearing device 11. The back 37 of the actuator plate 30 is now on the support frame 12. As already explained above, the upper edge 33 engages in the groove 35, wherein the spring element 14 is tensioned. The cistern 1 is now ready again and allows the said filling of an additive 43. The flushing takes place as before retrofitting.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen einen Spülkasten 1', der im Behälter 2 eine an sich bekannte Geruchsabsaugvorrichtung 47 aufweist. Diese saugt durch eine Leitung 49 aus der hier nicht gezeigten WC-Schüssel oder einem Urinal Luft an und leitet diese durch einen Filter 48 nach aussen. Um den Filter 48 in einfacher Weise auswechseln zu können, wird die Betätigungsplatte 30 in die in Fig. 6 gezeigte Stellung verschwenkt, wie dies oben erläutert wurde. Durch die dadurch gebildete Öffnung 42 ist der auszuwechselnde Filter 48 zugänglich und kann durch diese Öffnung 42 dem Spülkasten 1' entnommen werden. Anschliessend kann der neue Filter eingesetzt werden. Anstelle eines Filters 48 könnte auch ein anderer Teil, beispielsweise eine Batterie, oder ein Motor ausgewechselt oder revidiert werden. Dies kann in der Regel auch ohne Fachkenntnisse und ohne Werkzeug durchgeführt werden.The Figures 5 and 6 show a cistern 1 ', which has a per se known odor removal device 47 in the container 2. This sucks through a line 49 from the toilet bowl, not shown here, or a urinal air and passes them through a filter 48 to the outside. In order to replace the filter 48 in a simple manner, the actuator plate 30 is in the in Fig. 6 shown pivoted position, as explained above. By thus formed opening 42 of the filter 48 to be replaced is accessible and can be removed through this opening 42 the cistern 1 '. Subsequently, the new filter can be used. Instead of a filter 48, another part, for example a battery, or a motor could be replaced or revised. This can usually be done without specialist knowledge and without tools.
