Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for damping a toilet seat or a toilet lid.
  • DE 34 37 138 C2 discloses a Damping device directly in the rear End of a toilet seat and a toilet lid is integrated.
  • the damping device is as a rotary damper trained and works with wings that are viscous Displace liquid.
  • the flow resistance causes a Damping of the pivoting movement of the toilet seat or cover.
  • the toilet seat and cover combination according to DE 100 51 805 A1 uses such a separate damper.
  • the toilet seat has an integral at its rear end trained recording on, in which the damper is complete is included. On one side it sticks out into one further inclusion of the toilet lid inside; on his other Side adjoins an adapter piece, which in turn from the receptacle protrudes and with a toilet bowl associated mounting pin is in communication.
  • the known arrangement is very compact.
  • the toilet seat and the toilet lid are directly on the damper and the Adapter stored.
  • the damper and especially the However, pivot of the damper are mainly in a Operation of the toilet lid heavily loaded, since the toilet lid is worn exclusively by the pin. This can be too Damage to the damper, the exit of the Damping liquid or even to cancel the pin and thus cause complete destruction of the damper.
  • the Danger is especially great when closing in addition to the weight of the WC lid (or toilet seat) a closing force, for example by Pressing down, added.
  • the invention is based on the object To provide damping arrangement that is compact and above has an improved service life.
  • the invention combines several advantages over conventional damper arrangements.
  • a major advantage is the stability of the construction with minimal space requirements. This advantage is created by the damper at least partially surrounding sleeve. Occurring during closing transverse forces do not act - as in conventional solutions - directly on the sensitive pin of the damper, but are directed into the sleeve, and from there via the tail (and usually a mounting pin) in the toilet bowl.
  • the damper itself remains largely unloaded in the direction transverse to the axis of rotation. A long life is the result.
  • a further advantage of the invention lies in the ease of handling, in particular when the damper, the sleeve and the end piece can be joined together in one unit and the unit can be inserted into a receptacle in a toilet seat and / or a toilet lid, as appropriate.
  • the combination of damper, sleeve and tail can be made available to the end user pre-assembled. A mating of individual components on site can be omitted.
  • the sleeve is preferably made of metal, for example made of stainless steel, or made of hard plastic.
  • the sleeve has in its outer circumference a groove in, in the installed state a Circlip engages to secure the sleeve in a recording of the toilet seat and / or toilet lid is used.
  • a Circlip engages to secure the sleeve in a recording of the toilet seat and / or toilet lid is used.
