Definitions
- the invention relates to devices for reducing consumption in flushing C.
- Toilets using traditional flushes are a typical waste, with the amount of water used to effectively flush the bowl often being out of proportion to the actual needs of the users.
- An object of the invention is the placing on the market of an easy-to-install device which can adapt to almost all of the hunting tanks, whatever their origin or manufacturer.
- Another object of the invention is that this device offers great stability over time and does not risk moving around in the tank.
- the object of the invention is a water saving device for a flush tank which comprises a plurality of stackable and weighted base units, each of these base units comprising:
- a substantially prismatic hollow form with a vertical axis having, in the position of use, an open upper face, capable of reserving a volume of water, lateral faces, the latter comprising interlocking means able to cooperate to secure between them these base units, the width and length of these units being a multiple of a modular value M, at least one calibrated opening being provided at the base of each of these units, so as to let part of the volume of water reserved, so as to ensure a flow of water avoiding stagnation.
- This device is preferably made of a rigid molded material, such as a polymer material chosen in particular from polyamides, polypropylenes, polystyrenes.
- the prismatic shape is preferably a parallelepiped. According to another preferred form, it is a prism with a hexagonal or octahedral base.
- the nesting means advantageously include notches and tenons and / or bosses projecting from the underside of each base unit.
- Overflow spouts are preferably provided near the upper edge of the side walls.
- the interlocking means comprise bosses, notches and tenons
- the overflow necks advantageously correspond to the difference in relative height between these notches and tenons.
- the device may include securing means capable of fixing at least one base unit to a fixed element of a flush tank.
- the fundamental principle of the device of the invention is to replace part of the volume of water in a flushing tank with a "captive" volume with slow flow, so that practically only the volume of water external to the device according to the invention is evacuated to the bowl when the flush is activated.
- the invention also relates to a nestable unit for an economizer device as described above.
- the ballast of some of these nestable units contains a magnetized material, so as to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
- - Fig 1 is a perspective view of one of the units forming the device.
- FIG. 1 - Fig 2 is another perspective view, with cutaway, of the unit of Fig 1 - Fig 3, 4 and 5 show, in side view, different possible methods of assembly of the base units forming the device.
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a another embodiment of the invention.
- the device is constituted by a plurality of base units 1. Each of these units 1 assumes in FIGS. 1 to 5 in the form of a hollow parallelepiped, open at its upper face.
- the lower face 2 which is intended to be oriented towards the bottom of a flush tank, comprises cells 3 intended for the introduction of a ballasting material 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 the cell 3.
- the base unit 1 comprises, bosses 9 projecting with respect to its lower face 2, and near the lower and upper edges of its lateral faces 5, 6, nesting 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.
- the dimensions, bosses 9, tenons 8 and notches 7 make it possible to insert a base unit 1 exactly in the upper part of another unit 1, achieving effective attachment of the base units 1 to one another.
- each base unit has at least one orifice 10, these orifices 10 are located at any point on the base and can in particular pass through the cells 3 as shown in FIG 1. These orifices 10 play a significant role in the use of the device of the invention.
- the user has the possibility of assembling the basic units 1 both with the full flush tank only empty, whichever seems more practical.
- the length and width of the base units 1 are determined in multiples of a modular value M.
- the elements shown in Fig 1 and 2 thus have a width M and a length 2 M, which allows two modules to be assembled , as desired, in direct stack, in staggered stack, or in cross stack as shown in Figs 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 other modular shapes with a vertical axis can be used, such as prisms, in particular with a hexagonal or octahedral base (see FIG. 6).
- the notches 7 and the tenons 8 combined with the bosses 9 allow efficient assembly with a minimum loss of space, without fluid compression occurring in a closed volume.
- each base unit When the flush is activated, a certain proportion of the volume of water reserved in each base unit escapes through the orifice (s) 10 and flows along the side walls 5,6 through the base of the notches 7, avoiding stagnation of the volume of water reserved and, consequently, the formation of algae or molds.
- the bosses 9 shown here of square shape can assume in particular the form of octahedron.
- the base units 1 according to the invention may also have the shape of parallelepipeds with cut sides, which, in combination with the shape of the bosses 9 described above, allows assemblies at 45 °.
- bars having fixing means of shape adapted in particular to the notches 7 make it possible to secure one or more stack of units 1 to the wall of the tank.
- 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 tanks. However, practical tests show that excellent results are obtained with a water capacity of 0.25 to 0.3 liters per base unit.
- the assembly and disassembly of the base units being extremely simple, the user can determine himself by a few tests the number of units corresponding to optimal use, the water saving being able to reach 30%.
- Ballast 4 placed in the units can be made of different materials.
