[0001] The invention relates to a combination according to the preamble of claim 1. Such
combination is for example known from
EP2226437.
[0002] Such combinations are particularly known in the case of built-in reservoirs for sanitary
spaces, such as a toilet space. A built-in reservoir is arranged here against a wall,
after which a wall is arranged in front of the built-in reservoir. An opening which
provides access to the inspection opening in the built-in reservoir is arranged in
the wall. This opening in the wall is covered by an operating plate. The operating
plate comprises a push-button with which the flushing mechanism in the built-in reservoir
can be operated.
[0003] A usual operating plate normally consists of a frame part arranged on the wall around
the opening. This frame part is usually connected to the built-in reservoir through
the opening and is not usually mounted on the wall itself. A cap in which the push-button
is arranged is then placed over this frame part.
[0004] Because the frame part is not mounted on the wall itself the frame part can slide
and rotate. In addition, this known structure provides a part lying on the wall, this
being disadvantageous from a hygienic viewpoint.
[0005] It is further known to arrange a known push plate on the wall and to then arrange
a thick finishing layer around the push plate, whereby the push plate appears to be
recessed into the wall. The drawback is however that the push plate can no longer
be removed in order to gain access to the inspection opening. This is because the
push plate must be pushed upward so as to be released from the frame part. Because
the push plate is now enclosed by the finishing layer, this pushing movement can no
longer be carried out.
[0006] It is now an object of the invention to reduce, or even obviate, the above stated
drawbacks.
[0007] This object is achieved with a combination according to claim 1. According to the
invention the wall comprises an opening and the operating element comprises a frame,
which frame is arranged at least partially in the opening and wherein the front surface
of the frame lies flush with, or recessed relative to, the front surface of the wall.
[0008] By arranging the frame of the operating element in the opening the operating element
can lie recessed in the wall, irrespective of the wall thickness or a possible finishing
layer such as a tile layer or plaster layer. In addition, the frame of the operating
element can no longer slide reciprocally because it is arranged in the opening. Prior
art cover plates lie on the wall and can thereby slide reciprocally, while the frame
of the combination according to the invention lies in the opening and is enclosed
thereby.
[0009] A finishing layer, such as a tile layer or plaster layer, is preferably arranged
on the wall and the front surface of the wall is the front surface of the finishing
layer. Because the frame is arranged in the opening, the frame can be arranged as
desired more or less deeply in the opening, this such that the operating element has
a desired position relative to the front surface.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the combination according to the invention an operating
button is arranged in the frame of the operating element for the purpose of operating
the flush reservoir. With such an embodiment the operating button can for instance
be arranged wholly flush with the surrounding wall.
[0011] CH 293966 shows a toilet with a built-in reservoir hanging in a high position and arranged
in a recess in a solid wall. An access hatch is mounted in front of the reservoir.
Further provided at a suitable height is an operating element with which the pull
cord of the built-in reservoir can be operated. The access hatch is in fact no more
than a removable pre-wall through which access can be gained to the built-in reservoir
in the wall.
[0012] Acording to the invention the frame is a box-like part with a rear wall and side
walls arranged along the periphery of the real wall. Using such a frame an alcove
is created in the wall. This alcove can for instance be used as storage space. In
addition, easy access can be gained through a hatch in a side wall of the alcove to
the space behind the pre-wall. It thus becomes possible for instance to top up a reservoir
with cleaning liquid, to refill a holder with toilet rolls or to inspect and repair
the flush reservoir if necessary.
[0013] In another embodiment of the combination according to the invention the rear wall
of the box-like part is situated, relative to the front surface, on the opposite side
of the wall. The box-like part thus protrudes through the wall and can for instance
protrude therebehind into the flush reservoir. When the box-like part is now arranged
in removable manner, access can thus be gained to the inspection opening of the flush
reservoir.
[0014] In a highly preferred embodiment of the combination according to the invention a
light barrier is arranged between two opposite side walls for the purpose of operating
the flush reservoir.
[0015] Sensors are per se already known for operating a flush reservoir. The drawback of
the known sensors is that they respond to the presence of a person in the sanitary
space and it is not normally possible to operate the flush reservoir as desired. By
now arranging a light barrier in the box-like part the flush reservoir can be operated
in contact-free manner by for instance inserting a hand in the alcove.
[0016] In yet another embodiment of the combination according to the invention the operating
element comprises a sub-frame which is slidable in the frame such that an upper edge
of the sub-frame can be placed flush with the front surface of the wall.
[0017] This sub-frame can be displaced in the frame, making a fine adjustment possible.
The frame can thus be first arranged at a suitable depth in the wall, after which
the sub-frame is mounted and can be adjusted subject to the applied finishing layer.
[0018] The sub-frame can optionally comprise an outward directed flange. This flange can
then protrude as finish over the fixed frame.
[0019] It is advantageous for the frame to be arranged on the flush reservoir. The flush
reservoir can thus be provided with a fixed frame in the factory. In combination with
a slidable sub-frame, mounting of an operating element can thus be effected which
does not depend on the thickness of the wall and a possible finishing layer.
[0020] The frame can optionally protrude at least partially into the flush reservoir.
[0021] As alternative embodiment of the combination according to the invention, the flush
reservoir comprises an operating pin protruding vertically out of the top side, wherein
the combination further comprises a transmission coupled to the vertical operating
pin and the operating element.
[0022] With an operating pin protruding vertically from the top side the operating element
can easily be arranged at any desired height above the flush reservoir merely by lengthening
the operating pin. As a result of the transmission the operating element can then
be arranged at a desired position on the wall.
[0023] The operating pin protruding from the top side can be coupled via a pneumatic transmission
or an electric transmission to the operating element. The operating pin protruding
on the top side can be covered here by a cap arranged on the flush reservoir. Here
too the advantage is gained that the height of the operating element in the pre-wall
does not depend on the height of the flush reservoir.
[0024] As option an alcove can be provided in the wall and the operating element lies adjacently
of the alcove. At least a part of the alcove can be removable here for access to the
space behind the wall.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment the alcove and the operating element are both arranged
on a single mounting frame. The alcove and the operating element can hereby be mounted
integrally in the wall. This mounting is independent of the flush reservoir. This
embodiment can hereby also be readily applied during renovation, wherein a flush reservoir
is already provided.
[0026] The transmission is preferably arranged on a wall of the alcove. The integral combination
of alcove, operating element and transmission can hereby be handled and mounted in
simple manner.
[0027] An additional advantage of a combined alcove and operating element is that no tiling
need take place between the operating element and the alcove when a finishing layer
such as a tile layer is arranged on the wall. This avoids a great deal of cutting
work.
[0028] These and other features of the invention are further elucidated with reference to
the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the combination according
to the invention.
Figure 2 shows a detail of the embodiment according to figure 1.
Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment.
Figure 4 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of a combination according

[0029] Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a combination 1 according to the invention.
Combination 1 has a wall 2 with an opening in which a frame 3 is arranged. A finishing
layer 4 is arranged on wall 2. Frame 3 is arranged recessed relative to front surface
5, i.e. the visible surface of finishing layer 4. Arranged in frame 3 is an operating
element 6 which is connected via a first rod 7, a lever 8 and a second rod 9 to a
flush reservoir 10.
[0030] As can be seen in figure 2, due to the slightly recessed position of frame 3 a seal
11 can be provided between operating element 6 and wall 2 and finishing layer 4.
[0031] Figure 3 shows a second embodiment 20. This embodiment 20 has a wall 21 with a finishing
layer 22. Placed in opening 23 is a box-like element which consists of a rear wall
24 and side walls 25. This box-like element 24, 25 is arranged recessed relative to
front surface 26.
[0032] A displaceable sub-frame 27 is arranged in box-like element 24, 25. This sub-frame
27 has an outward folded edge which covers the edge of box-like element 24, 25. Because
sub-frame 27 is displaceable in box-like element 24, 25 it is possible to ensure that
the outward folded edge lies flush with front surface 26.
[0033] Figure 4 shows a third embodiment of a combination 30. This combination has a wall
31 with an opening 32. A flush reservoir 33 is arranged behind this wall 31. This
flush reservoir 33 is connected to a toilet bowl 34.
[0034] A box-like element is arranged in opening 32. This box-like element protrudes into
flush reservoir 33. Direct access can thus be gained to flush reservoir 33 by removing
the box-like element from opening 32.
[0035] An operating button 35 with which flush reservoir 33 can be operated is further arranged
in the box-like element.
[0036] Figure 5 shows a fourth embodiment 40 of a combination according to the invention.
This embodiment has a wall 41 with a finishing layer 42. An opening 43 is arranged
in wall 41 and finishing layer 42. A box-like element with a rear wall 44 and side
walls 45 is placed in this opening 43.
[0037] Arranged in box-like element 44, 45 is a displaceable sub-frame 46, the folded edge
47 of which can be positioned such that it lies flush with the front surface of finishing
layer 42.
[0038] A transmitter 48 and receiver 49 which form a light barrier 50 are arranged in side
walls 45. When this light barrier 50 is interrupted a signal can be generated with
which the flushing mechanism of the flush reservoir can be activated.
[0039] Figure 6 shows a fifth embodiment 60 of the invention. Combination 60 has a flush
reservoir 61 arranged behind a wall 62. A finishing layer, for instance a tile layer
63, is arranged on wall 62. Flush reservoir 61 is provided with an operating pin 64
which protrudes vertically from the top side.
[0040] A mounting frame 65 is arranged in wall 62 above flush reservoir 61. An alcove 66
and an operating button 67 are arranged on this mounting frame 65. Further arranged
on mounting frame 65 is a transmission 68 which converts the horizontal movement of
operating button 67 to a vertical movement of operating pin 64. Owing to this transmission
64 the position of alcove 66 does not depend on the position of flush reservoir 61.
[0041] An inspection hatch 69 is further provided in the bottom of alcove 66. Via this inspection
hatch 69 access can be gained to the space behind wall 62 and also to flush reservoir
61, for instance for maintenance purposes.
[0042] Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a sixth embodiment 70 according to the invention.
In this embodiment 70 a flush reservoir 73 is arranged behind a pre-wall 71 with a
finishing layer 72. This flush reservoir 73 has an operating pin 74 protruding on
the top side.
[0043] A T-shaped adapter or construction aid 75 is placed on flush reservoir 73. Figure
8 shows a perspective view of this construction aid 75. Construction aid 75 is provided
with a duct end 76 which connects to flush reservoir 73, a duct end 77 which protrudes
upward and a duct end 78 which protrudes forward and through pre-wall 71.
[0044] Each duct end 76, 77, 78 is provided with peripheral ribs, whereby each duct end
76, 77, 78 can easily be sawn to length.
[0045] In this embodiment a hose of a pneumatic control or an electrical cable can protrude
from the top side of flush reservoir 73 instead of operating pin 74. The hose or cable
then runs to an operating button 79.
[0046] It will be apparent from figure 8 that the forward directed duct end 78, in which
only an operating button 79 is arranged, has a smaller opening than the upward directed
duct end 77. Operating button 79 is connected via a pin 80 and a transmission 81 to
operating pin 74 of flush reservoir 73.
[0047] Easy access can be gained to flush reservoir 73 via the upward directed duct end
77. In the shelf embodiment shown in figure 7 this duct end 77 can be covered by a
cap 82, although in other embodiments it can also be covered by an alcove element,
as shown for instance in figure 6.
