- such a flushing mechanism also comprises a base 5 comprising a central orifice 0 whose upper circular edge 5a forms the seat of the valve 3.
- the base 7 and the base of the outer bell 1 b are provided with complementary joining means making it possible to assemble them in a removable manner, while allowing the passage of water between said base and said base.
- the base 5 carries a cross member 10 fixedly disposed through its central orifice 0, below the seat 5a of the valve 3.
- the lifting member of said valve bears.
- a cross member 10 constituted by a cam 11 disposed below it and mounted with a pivoting ability at the lower end of a transmission rod 12 capable of being pushed back by the push button of the control device.
- the cup 14 comprises an upper cylindrical bowl or casing 14a intended to be installed above the cover 7a of the tank and a lower cylindrical extension 14b having a smaller diameter than that of said bowl and the same axis as the latter, this extension passing through said cover and penetrating inside the tank when the control device is mounted on the latter.
- the cup thus shaped is open at its ends and it has a circular shoulder 14c corresponding to the bottom of its upper bowl and allowing it to rest on the upper face 7a 'of the edge of the hole 16 formed in the cover 7a for the installation of the device. ordered.
- the lower cylindrical extension 14b of the cup has a thread 14d, for example over a portion of its length extending from its lower end to a short distance from its attachment to the bowl 14a of said cup.
- This thread allows the cylindrical extension 14b of the cup to be screwed into the threaded cap 1c of the outer casing 1 of the flushing mechanism proper.
- the cup 14 bears on the upper face of the edge of the hole 16, by means of its shoulder 14c, and it is rigidly assembled with the outer envelope installed inside the tank. 7 - 7a by means of its threaded extension 14b screwed into the cap 1c of said envelope.
- the push button 13 is housed in the cup 14 with the ability to move axially.
- the tubular rod 13b of the push button has a length L1 greater than the length L2 of the cylindrical extension 14b of the cup.
- the head 13a and the tubular rod 13b of the push button have diameters D1, D2 smaller than the internal diameters D3, D4 of the bowl 14a and of the cylindrical extension 14b of the cup in which they are respectively mounted, so as to allow sliding. without excessive play of said head and said tubular rod in said bowl and in said cylindrical extension, respectively.
- the lower end of the push button 13 is provided with a projection which is, for example, constituted by a circular stop shoulder 13c.
- the lower end 13d of the tubular rod 13b of said push button has a conical shape and it has longitudinal slots 13e.
- the ring 15 advantageously has a frustoconical shape.
- the height H of the ring is therefore equal or substantially equal to the height h of said bowl; so as to surround it over its entire height.
- the deterrent ring 15 is mounted loosely around the bowl 14a and it is immobilized in axial translation relative to the latter.
- the deterrent ring 15 comprises, for example, for this purpose, an internal circular rib 15a housed in notches 14e formed at the periphery of the bowl 14a of the cup.
- the rib 15a is advantageously disposed near the upper end of the rotating ring 15 and the notches 14e are provided in the thickened upper part 14f of the bowl 14.
- the latter comprises, for example, four notches 14e spaced 90 degrees apart.
- the bosses 14g which delimit the notches 14e in their lower part (FIG. 6) have slopes 14h which converge in the direction of the bottom. During the assembly of the cup 14 and the rotating ring 15, these slopes 14h and the limited number of boss 14g (and notches 14e) facilitate the insertion, by force, of said cup into said rotating ring, up to 'that the internal circular rib 15a of the latter come to engage in the notches 14e of the bowl 14a.
- the tamper-evident control device also advantageously comprises a safety ring 17 (FIG. 7) capable of being mounted in free rotation around a portion of the cup 14 and of which at least part is intended to be immobilized below the edge of the hole 16 formed in the cover 7a of the tank or reservoir, said safety ring and said cup being provided with complementary means of connection in translation.
- a safety ring 17 (FIG. 7) capable of being mounted in free rotation around a portion of the cup 14 and of which at least part is intended to be immobilized below the edge of the hole 16 formed in the cover 7a of the tank or reservoir, said safety ring and said cup being provided with complementary means of connection in translation.
- this safety ring 17 comprises a cylindrical part 17a intended to surround a portion of the cup 14 and allowing it to be mounted thereon, and a lower stop collar 17b intended to be placed at the below the edge of the hole 16, the cylindrical part 17a having a diameter less than that of said hole, so that it can be engaged in the latter when the control device is mounted on the cover; said cylindrical part having, on the other hand, a height slightly greater than the thickness of said cover.
- the cylindrical portion 17a of the safety ring is intended to be disposed in free rotation and locked in translation around the upper end 14i of the lower cylindrical extension 14b of the cup 14, just below the upper bowl 14a of the latter.
- the upper end 14i of the cylindrical extension 14b is provided with at least one peripheral groove 14j or, preferably, a plurality of successive or superimposed peripheral grooves 14j.
- peripheral grooves 14j have a wolf tooth profile ( Figure 5).
- the safety ring 17 is provided, at its upper end, with a circular tooth or lip 17c oriented inwards.
- This tooth or internal lip 17c has a profile complementary to the profile of the grooves 14j.
- the profit in wolf teeth of the grooves 14j prevents any opposite axial movement of the safety ring 17 relative to the cup, the tooth or lip 17c being unable to escape from the groove 14j in which it is retained.
- connection of the safety ring 17 and the cylindrical extension 14b of the cup takes place in the thickness of the cover 7a, when the control device is installed on said cover. It is therefore not possible to disassemble the safety ring without using an appropriate tool.
- the cup can be rotated, to allow it to be screwed onto the fixed part 1 of the flushing mechanism itself, or unscrewed to gain access to the tank or to the float valve fitted inside it.
