Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new armrest system intended to equip toilet bowls.
  • a system essentially aims to improve the comfort of the users of the bowls thus equipped, by allowing in particular that the disabled, in a seated position, find it as in an armchair, or that people suffering for example from the back can sit or stand up by leaning on side armrests safely.
  • the present invention therefore aims mainly to solve these difficulties through an appropriate design of the armrest system, while allowing a simple and inexpensive construction, as well as an easy assembly avoiding having to resort to a fixing on the bowl it -same, other than at the back of it.
  • a system of armrests to be mounted on a toilet bowl, characterized in that it comprises two armrests connected together by a rigid tube forming in one piece rear uprights for said armrests, oriented perpendicularly to a rectilinear central part where said tube has fixing lugs at the rear of said bowl, and, for each armrest, at least one front upright which has an upper end secured to said tube, opposite a lower part forming a support said bowl.
  • the armrests themselves are made of a flexible material, for example by an envelope containing padding, and they are fixed by a rigid bottom on two end lateral parts of the above tube which constitute armrest support sections.
  • the armrest system 1 is mounted in the position of use on a toilet bowl in a resistant structure, it essentially comprises a rigid metal tube 3 bent in the shape of a "U".
  • the base of the "U” is occupied by a central part 4 of the rectilinear tube, which is arranged across the bowl 2, protruding on either side of the latter.
  • Each side of the "U” forms an upright 7 or 8, first oriented vertically, then inclined towards the front of the bowl in its section 31 or 32, until reaching the appropriate position for an armrest.
  • the tube 3, thus connecting the two armrests comprises in symmetrical positions in its base 4, two tabs 5 which are welded laterally on it, at its lower edge, and which serve as fixing tabs for the system at the rear 6 of the bowl as will be explained later.
  • the two vertical uprights 7 and 8 respectively of the tube 3 are again bent in their part opposite the base 4 towards the end of the bowl 2 opposite the rear 6 of the latter, so as to form sections d 'horizontal supports 9 intended for two armrests 10 and 11.
  • the vertical uprights 7 and 8 thus constitute posterior uprights for the armrests 10 and 11.
  • Two rigid "L" shaped tubes 12 and 13 constitute anterior uprights for the armrests 10 and 11.
  • the upright of each "L” shaped tube 12 or 13 is fixed to a horizontal support section 9 by welding from its end laterally in the latter and the base of each of these uprights 12 or 13 is supported by means of a plastic sleeve 15 which envelops its end around the periphery 14 of the bowl 2 on either side other of it.
  • the fixing lug 5 has two orifices 17 intended for the passage of fixing screws 18 at the rear 6 of the bowl. These two openings have an elongated shape parallel to the base of the U-shaped tube so that an adjustment clearance can be obtained when positioning the armrest system.
  • a plastic angle iron 19 having in cross-section the shape of a "U”, and closed at an end opposite the base 4, is inserted between each fixing lug 5 and the rear of the bowl 6 so as to produce a plastic seal between the legs 5, the base 4 and the bowl, thus avoiding areas where dirt accumulates.
  • the angle iron 19 has in its end close to the base 4, a cut in the form of a quarter of a circle of each of its lateral faces, so as to allow the passage of the base which is perpendicular to them.
  • the lateral faces 26 and 27 of the angle 19 in the shape of a "U" which surround the tab 5, have been shown projecting from the tab 5 for reasons of clarity, but they preferably come close to the edge of the tab 5.
  • FIG. 3 shows the positioning of an anterior upright 12 of the “L” shaped armrest system relative to the periphery 14 of the bowl and to the seat 20 of the flap.
  • the base 28 of the "L" 12 has, near the periphery 14, an undulation so as to form a hollow 29, avoiding the outer edge of the bezel 20, so that the latter is free relative to the base 28.
  • the plastic sleeve 15 which envelops the end of the base 28 having in this zone a flat 30, is dimensioned so that the bezel 20 does not rest on the sleeve, this so as not to create a cantilever between the flap hinges and two buffer pads (not shown) which serve as support means for the bezel 20 on the periphery 14, and which maintain between the periphery 14 and the bezel 20 a spacing imposed by the hinges 22.
  • the lid 21 of the flap rests on the bezel by means of pads 33 maintaining an identical spacing between the bezel and the lid at the spacing imposed by the hinges 23.
  • the folding seat comprises a seat 20 and a cover 21 which are mounted articulated in their part close to the rear of the bowl opposite the fixing lugs 4.
  • the hinges 22 and 23 used, respectively for the articulation of the seat the flap relative to the bowl and that of the cover 21 relative to the flap seat 20, are conventional hinges riveted in the seat and in the seat.
  • the part 24 of the hinge 22 which, in the absence of an armrest system, is intended to be fixed directly to the rear 6 of the toilet bowl has two elongated orifices 25 like the orifices of the legs 5, and placing themselves at the right of it. It is placed on the latter before the screws 18 are affixed.
