Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a cover for a toilet bowl provided with articulation means on said bowl arranged to allow said cover to occupy, relative to the latter, two extreme positions, a first extreme position in which the cover is spread. of the bowl to release, on the one hand, the bowl and, on the other hand, the seat surface presented by the latter and a second extreme position in which the cover is folded over the bowl to close it and to cover the aforementioned seat surface.
  • the second means can ensure good sterility of the bowl when the aforementioned installation is operating normally, it has the disadvantage, firstly, given its cost, its size and its maintenance, that it can only be used limited number in public places and generally outside buildings and, on the other hand, present some danger when used by young children.
  • the first means of protection mentioned above it has the disadvantage of ensuring in many case an illusory protection of the fact that the seat cover which constitutes it does not have a fixing member on the seat surface to be covered, which makes it particularly unstable on this surface. In fact, in most cases of the use of such a seat cover, it can be seen that the latter, even correctly placed on the surface to be covered, moves over the latter when the user comes into contact with the surface of the seat. seat, the seat cover then uncovering a more or less significant part of said surface and thus practically losing its protective utility.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to provide a cover for a toilet bowl, of low cost and of compact size, which can be associated with any type of bowl and reliably ensuring the decontamination of the surface. seat of the bowl or of the seat surface presented by a flap associated with said bowl.
  • said cover has, arranged on its face intended to be turned towards the bowl when it occupies its aforementioned second extreme position and at least in the region of this face intended to cover the above-mentioned seat surface.
  • bactericidal means capable of destroying, when said cover occupies the aforementioned second extreme position, at least the germs, bacilli or viruses infecting the aforementioned seat surface.
  • the cover comprises means arranged, on the one hand, for making operative the aforementioned bactericidal means when the cover occupies its second extreme position and, on the other hand, making said means inoperative as soon as the cover leaves this second extreme position.
  • the aforementioned bactericidal means are constituted by means for emitting bactericidal rays.
  • the above-mentioned ray emission means are means for emitting ultraviolet rays.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view, partially broken, of a toilet bowl provided with the aforementioned cover, the latter being shown in solid lines in its first extreme position and in broken lines in its second extreme position.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 are views similar to Figure 1 and show variants of the cover illustrated in said Figure 1.
  • the cover 1 for toilet bowl 2, according to the invention and illustrated in the drawings, is provided with articulation means 2 ′ on this bowl which are arranged so that the lid can occupy with respect to the latter the following two extreme positions: a first position (illustrated in solid lines in the drawings) in which the cover 1 is spaced from the bowl 2 to release said bowl and the seat surface 3 presented either by the latter (see FIG. 1) or by a flap 4 associated the bowl (see Figures 2 and 3); a second position (illustrated in broken lines in the drawings) in which the cover 1 is folded down on the bowl 2 or on the flap 4 thereof to, on the one hand, close off said bowl and, on the other hand, cover the seat surface 3.
  • This cover 1 has, arranged on its face 5 which is turned towards the bowl when the cover occupies its second extreme position and at least in the area 6 of this face intended to cover the aforementioned seat surface 3, bactericidal means 7 capable of destroying, when the cover 1 occupies its second extreme position, at least the germs, bacilli or viruses which are present on the seat surface 3 and which infect the latter.
  • the cover 1 further comprises means 8 which are arranged to make the bactericidal means 7 operative when the cover 1 occupies its second extreme position and inoperative as soon as said cover 1 leaves this latter position.
  • These means 8 advantageously comprise means 9 for delaying (see FIGS. 2 and 3) or for dosing (see FIG. 1) arranged to limit in time the action of the bactericidal means 7 regardless of the time. during which the cover occupies its second extreme position.
  • the bactericidal means 7, arranged in the recess 10 formed in the cover 1, comprise a ramp 11 having nozzles 12, regularly distributed, arranged to direct a bactericidal spray on the seat surface 3 when the cover 1 is folded over the bowl 2 and reaches its aforementioned second extreme position.
  • This spray is contained in a reservoir 13 and distributed dose by dose, each time the lid is folded over the bowl, by a metering pump 14, advantageously with adjustable flow rate, the piston of which is actuated by the piston rod 15 abutting on a part 16 , fixed to the bowl, when the cover is folded over the bowl and is close to its second extreme position, the reservoir 13, the pump 14 and the ramp 11 constituting an assembly which is removably fixed in the recess 10 of the cover .
  • Said reservoir 13 is advantageously made of a transparent material in order to make visible the level of bactericidal product which it contains, when the cover occupies its first extreme position.
  • the above-mentioned bactericidal means 7 are advantageously constituted by means for emitting bactericidal rays and more particularly by means for emitting ultraviolet rays.
  • the cover 1 is then, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, made of a material impermeable to said rays and has a recess 10 whose opening is turned, when the cover 1 occupies its second extreme position, towards the bowl 2 and the surface seat 3.
  • the ray emitting means are arranged in the aforementioned recess 10 so that the emitted rays are directed by a reflective material lining said recess 10, over the entire seat surface 3 and possibly on the internal face 17 of the bowl 2.
  • the external edge 18 of the cover is shaped to come into contact, over its entire periphery and when the cover occupies its second extreme position, with the external edge 19 of the seat surface 3 to avoid dispersion of the rays between the latter and the edge 18 of the cover, the latter advantageously being provided, over its entire periphery, with a seal 20 made of an impermeable material a ux bactericidal rays, such as a strip of elastic material profiled to closely fit the zone of the bowl 2 with which it is intended to cooperate so that no ray can filter between the cover and the bowl.
  • a ux bactericidal rays such as a strip of elastic material profiled to closely fit the zone of the bowl 2 with which it is intended to cooperate so that no ray can filter between the cover and the bowl.
  • the ultraviolet bactericidal rays are emitted, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, by two tubes 21 or by a profiled tube 21 housed in the recess 10 of the cover 1, and supplied with electric current from a housing 22 fixed to the bowl 2.
  • the aforementioned means 8, which make the tubes 21 operative or inoperative, are constituted by switching means 23 arranged so that the supply of the tube or tubes 21 with electric current is, on the one hand, interrupted as soon as that the cover 1 leaves its second extreme position and, on the other hand, ensured when the latter reaches this position.
  • the cover 1 is advantageously fitted with a protective grid 24 for the tubes 21, the latter being removable to allow the maintenance and replacement of said tubes.
  • the cover 1 can also, so that a user of the wc can see that the tubes 21 are under tension and provide the abovementioned decontamination, present an indicator light 25 which is visible when the cover occupies its first extreme position and which is associated with the means switch 23 and the aforementioned timing means 9 so as to be supplied with electric current by said switching means, at the same time as the tubes 21, the power supply of the indicator 25 being cut off by the timing means 9 at the same time time that these cut off the supply of the tubes.
  • the indicator light 25 could be replaced by an opening 26 pierced in the cover and furnished with a screen impervious to the rays but making it possible to perceive the glow of the tubes 21 under tension.
  • the articulations 2 ′ of the latter on the bowl 2 are chosen from the articulations which can ensure a regular displacement of the cover, which is controlled or braked, when it goes from its first to its second extreme position.
