Definitions

the invention relates to a children's chamber pot, with an acoustic signal transmitter, in particular in the form of music, with two exposed contacts on the bottom of the pot which can be connected to one another by a conductive liquid and which control the acoustic signal transmitter.
Such a chamber pot is already known as prior art, which is designed so that when a current flows between the two contacts, solid-state switching means become conductive and thus control sound-generating means (DE-OS 2 359 936).
a transistor is used here, and the two contacts also have different materials in order to generate an electromotive force.
a switch is provided which normally keeps the sound-generating means out of operation and which can be actuated by the weight of a child sitting on the chamber pot in order to enable the sound-generating means to be actuated.
the entire arrangement is thus constructional and expensive, so that the overall economic success is very limited.
the state of the art also includes children's chamber pots whose bottom is equipped with a membrane connected to a musical mechanism (DE-AS 1 013 402) or which have a mechanical musical mechanism in the double wall of the children's chamber pot (DE-GM 71 35 176) .
a children's chamber pot with a mechanism which is attached within easy reach of a seated child on the front of the chamber pot (DE-GM 70 09 163).
Other known constructions are designed so that a moisture indicator with a lamp is used (DE-GM 70 36 643) or a temperature sensor is used which triggers an acoustic and / or optical signal (DE-0S 26 19 199). All of these known embodiments have the disadvantage mentioned at the outset that these constructions are costly and complex, so that their field of application is also severely restricted.
the present invention has for its object to provide a children's chamber pot of the type mentioned, which is inexpensive to manufacture with simple construction and quick assembly of the functionally important elements.
the contacts are connected directly to a music module attached to the underside of the pan base as a signal generator, next to which a loudspeaker is arranged on the pan base, the music module and the loudspeaker being connected by a common cover closed by integrated housing are surrounded the pot bottom.
the music module and the contacts projecting through the bottom of the pot can be connected to the bottom of the pot via an adhesive sealing layer be, wherein, for example, this adhesive sealing layer is designed as a silicone layer.
the housing is designed so that it holds the speaker by lip-like projections.
the cover in turn has a circumferential outer groove in the wall, in which an elastic tensioning element can be incorporated, which clamps the cover with the outer wall of the housing in a force-locking manner.
the children's chamber pot 1 shown schematically in FIG. 1 has a seat 2 which merges into a pot bottom 3 via walls 20. 1 and 2 there are two adjacent contacts 4 and 5, which protrude up to the surface of the pot base 3 and are flush with it. These contacts 4 and 5 are directly connected to a music module 6, which is attached to the underside of the pot base 3.
This music module 6 is connected to a flat loudspeaker 7 via connections 17 according to FIG. 2. It can also be seen from FIG. 2 that the flat loudspeaker 7 and the music module 6 are each arranged in a slot-like housing in their end regions 13 and 18. Here, the design is such that two lip-like mounting sections 11 and 12 connect to the end region 18, which largely surround the flat loudspeaker 7 and thus contribute to its mounting.
FIG. 3 In the free area between the music module 6 and the flat loudspeaker 7, two support elements 27 and 28 according to FIG. 3 are arranged, which have the task of supporting the cover with the housing after it has been installed. From Fig. 3 it can also be seen that the housing 8 is integrated with the bottom 3 of the pot.
FIG. 4 shows the fastening of the music module 6 to the pot bottom 3 with the aid of a sealing layer 10, which can be a silicone layer, for example.
This sealing layer 10 causes the music module to stick to the pan base 3, this sealing layer simultaneously penetrating into the space between the contacts 4 and 5 and the respective bores in the pan base and thus stripping the interior of the pan base from the music module 6.
the cover 9 consisting of the base 15 and the wall 16 has an outer groove 14 in the region of the wall 16, in which an elastic tensioning element is used, for example a rubber ring.
This rubber ring causes the wall 16 of the lid 9 to press against the outer wall of the housing 8, where is achieved by a non-positive connection between cover 9 and housing 8.
a switch which can be operated from the outside and serves to separate the connection between the contacts 4, 5 and the music module 6. This can stop the acoustic playback, for example when the children's chamber pot is cleaned. Otherwise, the function of the acoustic signal generator is such that when the pot base 3 becomes damp, the two contacts 4 and 5 are closed, as a result of which the music module 6 is actuated and a child's melody sounds via the loudspeaker 7.
the entire arrangement with loudspeaker 7 and music module 6 is located within the housing 8 integrated with the pot base 3, is very flat, easy to assemble and inexpensive to manufacture.
