Definitions

• TITLE Siphon for sink or similar.
• the present invention relates to a siphon for sink or the like.
• sink any type of receptacle or basin pierced with a hole for the evacuation of water, said hole being connected to a pipe, itself connected to a siphon.
• Siphons are devices arranged on drainage pipes and are mainly used to prevent communication between stale air and ambient air. That said, said siphons also prove to be practical for recovering objects introduced through the water evacuation hole or even possibly for cleaning the pipe connecting the sink to said siphon.
• said siphon has an upper part, and a lower part, the latter being in particular intended to serve as a reservoir for objects introduced through said discharge hole.
• devices are known for screwing together said lower and upper parts which include a thread or a thread.
• the present invention aims to provide a siphon for sink or the like which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and allows manual separation of the upper and lower parts of the siphon without requiring the use of tools.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a siphon for sink or the like which makes it possible to partially or totally separate said upper part from said lower part.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a siphon for avoiding or the like which comprises means for ensuring the centering of the lower and upper parts between them so as to facilitate their joining.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a siphon for sink or the like in which said seal undergoes a controlled and reproducible crushing each time the siphon is closed so as to ensure total tightness of said siphon.
• Said invention relates to a siphon for sink or the like comprising an upper part and a pivoting lower part, connecting means between said lower and upper parts and a seal.
• said connecting means comprise:
• the invention also relates to a device for discharging waste water equipped with a siphon as mentioned above. It will be better understood on reading the following description, accompanied by the attached drawings which form an integral part thereof and among which:
• FIG. 1 illustrates, in a schematic sectional view an embodiment of the siphon according to the invention
• FIG. 2 illustrates, in a perspective view the embodiment shown in Figure 1 above.
• the present invention relates to a siphon 1 for sink or the like. It is for example a siphon intended to equip waste water evacuation pipes, it will thus be particularly suitable in professional or private premises, in kitchens or even bathrooms.
• said siphon 1 for sink or the like has an upper part 2 and a lower part 3 pivoting.
• Said lower part 3 is in particular intended to constitute an accessible tank allowing a user to clean said siphon 1 as well as the pipes to which the latter is connected or possibly to recover objects stored in said tank.
• said siphon 1 comprises connection means 4 between said lower 3 and upper parts 2.
• connection means 4 between said lower 3 and upper parts 2.
• the connecting means 4 comprise at least one hinge
• This hinge comprises two elements 10 and 11, projecting towards the outside of the siphon, subject respectively to said wall lower 3 and said upper wall 2 and allowing their guidance during their pivoting.
• Said elements 10 and 11 are assembled so that one can pivot in the other, and define the hinge axis 6.
• said element 10 is present under the shape of a stirrup or yoke, and has two internal lateral grooves 12, in particular open, possibly having a slight constriction at their opening, such as by providing a bead narrowing the opening, allowing the introduction, in particular in force , pins 13 of said element 11, constituting a pivot.
• Said grooves 12 and lugs 13 cooperate together so that said lugs pivot in said groove, the latter forming a cradle for each lug.
• Said connecting means 4 also comprise locking means 8 between the lower 3 and upper 2 parts.
• said locking means 8 consist of a clip 9.
• This clip 9 comprises three elements, a base 17, in the form of a stirrup or yoke, projecting towards the outside of the siphon, subject to one of the lower 3 or upper 2 parts, and preferably the part lower 3, a stud 14, projecting towards the outside of the siphon, subject to the other part, preferably the upper part 2, and a locking element 15, generally in the shape of an inverted C, corresponding to a hollow to said stud, pivotally mounted with said base 17 and cooperating by means of a stop 16 with said stud 14.
• the clipping is performed by force.
• the user pivots said locking element 15 until the stop 16 comes into contact with said stud 14.
• the user then exerts pressure so as to slightly deform said locking element 15 which allows to place said stop 16 in blocking on said stud 14.
• the lower part 3 of the siphon 1 is locked on the upper part 2.
• said hinge 6 and even more generally said siphon 1 entirely of plastic, which has in particular the advantage of an easily washable material and resistant to chemical attack by the components of the wastewater, and with interesting elastic properties.
• said locking element 15 can be separated from its base 17.
• the user wishes to have access to the reservoir, it pivots said locking element 15, which causes the separation between said lower part 3 and said upper part 2 and then rotates said lower part 3 about the axis of the hinge 6. Unlocking and separation said upper 2 and lower 3 parts can therefore be produced manually without requiring a tool.
• the siphon 1 has a clip 9 and a hinge 6.
• a different number of clips 9 and hinges 6 may be used, and in particular if a lower part 3 is used whose bottom is substantially quadrangular, two hinges may be used 6 arranged on one side and two clips 9 arranged on the opposite side.
• the invention also relates to a device for discharging waste water equipped with a siphon 1 as mentioned above.
