Definitions
- the present invention relates to a discharge device a toilet flush which presents a quantified water saving of water in the W.C. by performing a double discharge controlled by a single pusher.
- This invention is found in economizer systems of water in reservoirs and in the water boxes of W.C., especially among purely devices mechanical which take advantage of elements already known to act on the water shut-off valve. It's about having a single tank with two parts of water, perfectly dosed and measured, which depend on the actual use, for first release a specified quantity there then, only in case the user needs it, all contents of the tank.
- the object of this invention is to avoid the above problems indicated in a simple way, by means of a single valve outlet, a single pusher and a float.
- a structurally robust device and adaptable to any type toilet flush we discharge a volume already measured and fixed water by pressing or pulling once on the pusher or zipper while total discharge takes place when the pull or push button is actuated a second extended times.
- the system uses the coupling of simple mechanical devices that physically separate, from a side, opening and closing the exhaust valve of water to the toilet bowl, and on the other hand, the loading water into the system.
- the device which is the subject of the invention functions as a system of forced economy which could be called economy voluntary and intuitive, once activated, which that when you press or pull the pusher or the zipper only once the controlled discharge of a previously fixed volume of water, being necessary a second prolonged actuation to produce the full discharge.
- this limited volume and quantified water is immediately discharged, and if no one not extend the support, then this volume begins to fill by the usual means and by means of the valve filling. This process with limited and quantified volume of water can be repeated anytime simply by pressing once.
- the device as a whole includes a zipper or a adjustable pusher housed in a threaded housing of a pendulum and it mates with a fork. All these elements which act in a chained way will be responsible for the opening of the relief valve.
- the float is mounted on the weir barrel tube, where it is housed in an area intermediate which depends on the volume of water you want evacuate during the first discharge.
- water saving should be considered statistical or quantified, by hearing that once fixed the quantity to save, it is always the same without having the possibility of varying the capacity.
- the outer casing (1) of the device is constructed of sufficiently resistant flexible material which presents its lower base an anchoring fitting (2) through which screw it into the lower hole of a standard flush.
- This carcass (1) comprises an anchoring bridge (11) for retain the flush cover by means of a adjustable rack so that it can go up and down gradually until it adapts to any type of hunting regardless of its height, fixing it with ledges so that once determined the height there is more mobility.
- a set screwed on the balance (7) located symmetrically at center of the structure houses a zipper inside adjustable (8), it is actuated by means of a connecting rod (12) and he moves a fork (9).
- Said zipper by its condition adjustable ensures that the anchor bridge for the restraint of the flush cover is also adjustable.
- a pusher (10) pushes the screw assembly (7) to through the rod (6), action which is transmitted to the fork (9) and this pulls up on the tube (3) and on the closing disc (4) by causing the opening of the relief valve.
- buttons (10) If the button (10) is kept pressed, it is kept in high position the overflow tube (3) and the valve closure (4) remains open until discharge from volume is total.
- the float (5) consists of a cylindrical body, with a axial orifice in accordance with the diameter of the barrel tube (3) where it is coupled to the force and is internally provided with a small pivot in false flight (13), in correspondence with a succession of vertically aligned notches (14) existing on the barrel tube (3) so that once the float (5) is inserted and positioned at the required height just do it turn until it coincides with the pivot (13) in a said notches (14) which thus retains it in the desired position.
- the device of the present invention is not affected during its operation by the intensity, the pressure or the actuation stroke carried out on a single pusher to produce the partial or total discharge of the water.
- the water filling mechanism after each emptying is carried out by means of a float which acts on a valve located at the entrance of the flush, which is independent of the emptying processes so as to be able to produce in any consecutive or alternative order of partial or total discharges.
- this device is likely to be industrially applied as one of the control systems of WC flush valves.
