[0001] The present invention relates to a flush tank or cistern structure particularly for
the controlled and differentiated washing of toilet bowls in sanitary fittings and
the like.
[0002] Various types of flush cisterns or tanks for cleaning toilet bowls are currently
known and used, and are usually constituted by a water container which is connected
to the water mains, has automatic means for controlling the supply from the mains
to the container and is provided with a duct, defined on the bottom of the container,
for discharging the water toward toilet bowls. The duct is connected to a bowl by
means of a pipe, and the discharge of water is controlled by means of a plug which
can be disengaged by means of lever systems which are actuated manually from the outside
every time the toilet bowl is washed.
[0003] Cisterns which perform the differentiated washing of toilet bowls are also known;
said cisterns have differentiated controls for the discharge of preset amounts of
water as a consequence of the use of one or more external controls. Said cisterns
constitute a considerable improvement with respect to the preceding ones, said improvement
being essentially related to the water saving achieved by rationing the discharge
of the water. Also known from DE-A-2,601,282 is a flush tank structure as defined
in the precharacterizing part of claim 1.
[0004] Devices with discharge controlled by means of multiple controls are currently affected
by constructive difficulties and most of all by maintenance difficulties which are
indeed related to the constructive difficulties.
[0005] Known devices usually have a discharge control structure which has an overflow pipe
which is connected directly to the duct of the cistern, and on which two ports are
defined at differentiated heights; said ports are opened and closed by means of respective
plugs, each of which is actuated by lever systems connected to external manual actuation
means.
[0006] Other disadvantages are related to the lack of precision in controlling the discharge,
or rather the amounts of water discharged, and to the quietness of the system.
[0007] The aim of the present invention is to eliminate or substantially reduce the disadvantages
described above in known types of cisterns. This aim is according to the invention
achieved by providing a flush tank structure as defined in claim 1, preferred embodiments
of the invention are defined in the appended dependent claims.
[0008] Within the scope of the above aim, an object of the present invention is to provide
a flush tank structure which is highly reliable in operation and is much quieter and
more precise in discharge control than currently installed and mounted cisterns.
[0009] Not least object of the present invention is to provide a flush tank structure which
is relatively easy to manufacture and at competitive costs.
[0010] Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from
the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a flush tank structure
particularly for the controlled and differentiated washing of toilet bowls in sanitary
fittings and the like, according to the invention, illustrated only by way of non-limitative
example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
figure 1 is a partially sectional front elevation view of a flush tank structure according
to the invention;
figure 2 is a plan view of a lever system for the partial discharge of the water;
figure 3 is a partially sectional front view of the lifting means for partial discharge;
figure 4 is a partially sectional cutout side elevation view of a flush tank structure
according to the invention;
figure 5 is a partially sectional front view of the lifting means for complete discharge;
figure 6 is a partially sectional front view of the lifting means for partial discharge,
in which the traction element is opening the port;
figure 7 is a partially sectional front view of the lifting means for complete discharge,
in which the traction element is opening the port; and
figures 8, 9, 10 and 11 are elevation views of a removable supporting hook which is
comprised within the lever system for partial discharge.
[0011] With reference to the above figures, a flush tank structure particularly for the
controlled and differentiated washing of toilet bowls in sanitary fittings and the
like comprises a flush tank or container 1 which has a water inlet 2 adjacent to the
upper part thereof which is connected to the water mains, a known automatic means
for controlling the inflow of water into the flush tank 1, for example means with
a cock controlled by a floater (not illustrated), and a port 3 which is defined in
the bottom, which is closed by a plug 4, and which is connected to a toilet bowl (not
illustrated).
[0012] A traction element 5 is inserted in the port 3 and supports the sealing plug 4; the
traction element 5 extends upward, passing through a compensation chamber 6, and has,
on its free terminal end 7, lifting means which are connected to external actuation
means by means of lever systems. The lifting means comprise adjustment means for the
complete or partial discharge of the water from the cistern, so as to allow controlled
emissions of washing water according to the different requirements. The compensation
chamber 6 has, at its base, a plurality of pathways 40 for the unobstructed free flow
of water toward the port 3.
[0013] The lifting means for partial discharge are constituted by an annular body 8 which
is inserted and fixed on the traction element 5, which has means for detachable engagement
with the adjustment means. The annular body 8 is connected to a first lever system
by means of a first bracket 9.
[0014] The first lever system is composed of a support 10 which is fixed on an inner wall
of the flush tank 1 and has a plurality of supporting seats 11. A first lever 12 is
pivoted on one of the supporting seats 11 and is directly connected to the external
actuation means, for example an actuation pushbutton 13 which protrudes from the flush
tank 1.
[0015] The first lever 12 bears a removable engagement means for a second lever 14 which
is pivoted, at an end portion, in another one of the supporting seats 11, which is
inserted within the first bracket 9 with its other terminal portion, and which bears
guiding means for the removable engagement means.
[0016] The removable engagement means is constituted by a hook 15 which is mounted so as
to rotate angularly on the free end portion of the first lever 12 and is kept in position
by means of a snap ring 16.
[0017] The guiding means of the second lever 14 are constituted by an inclined segment 17
which rises from the second lever 14 at the hook 15 which is mounted on the first
lever 12, so as to facilitate the engagement of said hook 15 with the second lever
14.
[0018] The lifting means for complete discharge are constituted by a sliding ring 18 which
is inserted on the traction element 5. The ring 18 is connected to a respective second
lever system by means of a second bracket 20, and such ring has a bracket-shaped base
perimeter within which grip seats 25 for the tabs 19 are defined.
[0019] The second lever system is composed of a support 21 which is fixed on an internal
wall of the flush tank 1 and which has a plurality of supporting seats 22. A third
lever 23 is pivoted on one of said supporting seats 22 and is connected directly to
external actuation means, for example an actuation pushbutton 24 which protrudes from
the flush tank 1. The free end portion of said third lever 23 is inserted within the
second bracket 20.
[0020] The adjustment means for partial or complete discharge are constituted by an annular
weight 26 which is slidingly inserted on the traction element 5 and rests on the chamber
6. The weight 26 has raised engagement portions 27 for detachable engagement means
which will be described hereinafter, and an annular containment compartment 28 for
water in order to increase its own weight. A plurality of water discharge holes 29
is defined in the lower surface of the annular compartment 28 so as to avoid creating
water stagnation regions in the flush tank 1.
[0021] The detachable engagement means are constituted by levers 30, each of which has,
on a terminal portion, an abutment 31 for engaging the annular weight 26 and, on its
other terminal portion, an opposite tab 19 engaged by the sliding ring 18 upon its
upward movement thereof. The levers 30 are pivoted within the annular body 8 and can
perform an angular rotation.
[0022] The traction element 5 is constituted by an overflow pipe which, if the water exceeds
the overflow level of the flush tank 1, discharges the excess water into the port
3.
[0023] The operation of the invention is briefly as follows: in the case of complete discharge,
by pressing the pushbutton 24 the third lever 23 is actuated, lifting the ring 18
by means of the second bracket 20. The ring 18 releases the levers 30 from the weight
26 by means of the seats 25, which press the tabs 19 against the traction element
5. The ring 18 thus raises the traction element 5, thus lifting the plug 4 and opening
the port 3, from which the water flows out and discharges into the toilet bowl (not
illustrated) by gravity.
[0024] In case of partial discharge, instead, by acting on the pushbutton 13, the first
lever 12 is actuated and, by means of the hook 15, raises the second lever 14. The
lifting of the second lever 14 entails the lifting of the traction element 5 by means
of the first bracket 9, thus lifting the plug 4 and opening the port 3. The duration
of the partial discharge, i.e. the amount of water discharged, is adjusted by the
release of the hook 15 from the second lever 14.
[0025] The hook 15 unhooks from the second lever 14, since by rotating about the lever 12
it disengages from the lever 14. Once unhooking has occurred, the second lever 14
is free, and the weight 26 causes the immediate closure of the port 3 by means of
the plug 4, pushing the traction element 5 downward, due to the greater weight of
the weight 26, which can be made of a much heavier material than the traction element,
and also due to the water stored in the annular compartment 28.
[0026] The holes 29 are required in order to avoid prolonged storing of water within the
annular compartment 28.
[0027] Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs,
those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility
of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect
on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
