Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating device for a sanitary object, in particular for a toilet cistern, comprising an opening of the sanitary object associated cover with fastening elements, a cover movably held on the control element and at least one spring element, wherein the control element with a pivotable about a first axis of rotation around provided first rotary bearing element and against the force of the at least one spring element from a normal position into an actuating position is movable.
  • Toilet concealed cisterns are usually operated via actuation plates, which are arranged on the concealed cistern covering wall covering.
  • Conventional actuator plates consist of a screen with an integrated, movably held on the screen control, which is designed for example as a push button or swivel push button.
  • the screen normally covers with considerable oversize the inspection opening, which serves to maintain and optionally repair internal components of the concealed cistern, such as valves or seals.
  • toilet bowls flush plates are used, which have a large flush button to trigger a full flush and a small flush button to trigger a small flush.
  • the flushing volume of the small flush is usually fixed; the full flush, on the other hand, can be variably adjusted at the drain valve to a specific flushing quantity.
  • flush-stop technique in which the flushing process - as usual - is triggered with a rinsing button, but the flushing can be stopped before the end of the entire amount of water by pressing a stop button.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an actuating device of the type mentioned, which is suitable for both the two-flushing and flush-stop technique, has relatively small visible external dimensions and yet easy to is operating.
  • the actuating device essentially comprises a cover associated with an inspection opening of the sanitary object with fastening elements, at least one spring element and a control element movably held on the cover, which is provided with a first pivot element pivotable about a first axis of rotation and against the force of the at least one spring element Normal position is movable in an operating position.
  • the control member is further provided with at least one second pivot member pivotable about a second pivot axis spaced and parallel to the first pivot axis, wherein the first pivot member is pivotable out of a coincident position with the first pivot axis when the second pivot member is pivoted about the second axis of rotation, and wherein the second pivot member is pivotable out of a coincident with the second axis of rotation position out when the first pivot member is pivoted about the first axis of rotation.
  • the actuating device according to the invention corresponds to a rocker switch with which either a first function or a second function can be triggered by the control element - depending on the desired function - is pivoted about the first axis of rotation or the second axis of rotation.
  • the actuating device according to the invention is thus both for the operation of running in two-volume flushing WC flushing cisterns as well For use with flush-stop WC cisterns.
  • rocker switch with central pivot bearing A disadvantage of a rocker switch with central pivot bearing is that when pressed the unweighted rocker side from the plane in which the rocker switch is in its normal position, pivots out. This forms openings through which visually unsightly areas behind the rocker switch are visible. If one does not want this, the actuating rocker with central pivot bearing would have to be designed so high that its back always remains behind the front side of the surrounding enclosure, for example a frame-shaped screen when actuated. This requires a relatively large amount of space behind the screen.
  • the actuator according to the invention can be carried out thanks to their special pivot bearing design with a relatively flat-building visual front, without the control element swings out when actuated from the front.
  • the operating element is preferably formed substantially rectangular and arranged the first pivot bearing element at one end of the operating element and the second pivot bearing element at the opposite end of the operating element.
  • the present invention allows an embodiment of an actuator of the type mentioned above with relatively small front side surface and ease of use. Because the control element according to the invention embodied by the two spaced-apart, mutually parallel axes of rotation two relatively long lever arms for each triggering one of two different functions, such as a small flush and a full flush.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the actuating device according to the invention is characterized in that between the first rotary bearing element and the second rotary bearing element at least one guide device is arranged, which has a guide pin movably mounted in a receptacle whose longitudinal axis is parallel to the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation.
  • the guide pin is preferably arranged centrally between the first rotary bearing element and the second rotary bearing element.
  • the guide pin is acted upon by the at least one spring element.
  • first rotary bearing element and the second rotary bearing element in the form of bearing journals and to associate these indentations formed on the cover as stops.
  • the pivot bearing elements and / or the operating element receiving cover are equipped with rubber elastic damping elements for impact damping.
  • the cover is formed in several parts and comprises a frame-shaped holder and a mounting frame carrying the support, wherein the control element movably held on the frame-shaped holder and the holder with the mounting frame is detachably connectable.
  • the actuating device according to the invention is preferably modular.
  • it is proposed to provide the cover with a frame-shaped screen to be able to easily adapt their appearance to different customer requirements.
  • the operating element is provided on the front side with an exchangeable pusher plate.
  • the pusher plate is preferably detachably attached to the operating element.
  • the detachable connection may for example consist of a screw connection, latching connection or magnetic connection.
  • the pusher plate and the screen can be made of metal, ceramic, wood or inexpensive plastic. The appearance of the actuator can thus be easily changed without requiring costly new tools.
  • the screen and the pusher plate preferably each have a flat, smooth front.
  • the pusher plate and / or the screen are made of a glass plate or mirror glass plate, in particular a surface-treated glass plate or mirror glass plate, for example, a frosted glass plate or frosted mirror glass plate.
  • Smooth and frosted glass offers a hygienically optimal surface that is easy to clean and is not susceptible to bacterial growth.
  • a preferred embodiment of the actuating device according to the invention is that in the normal position of the operating element, the front side of the preferably flat-shaped pusher plate is arranged substantially flush with the front of the screen. In the case of a flat screen, the actuating device then projects only slightly, for example only a maximum of 10 mm from the tile covering or the wall cladding into the room. It thus has a very elegant appearance compared to conventional, relatively thick actuator plates.
  • the screen can be run very flat, if according to a further preferred embodiment, the insertable into the inspection cover, which carries the screen, directly to a flush unit is attachable and the screen, not as usual hooked, which requires a corresponding thickness of the screen, but by means of locking elements, magnets, screws or frictionally held clamping pins with the cover latched or connected and this is only placed from the front of this.
  • a spacer element is arranged, wherein the pusher plate projects laterally relative to the lateral surface of the spacer and in the normal position of the control element, the distance of the narrow sides of the pusher plate to the lateral surface of the spacer is greater than the distance of the back of the pusher plate to the front of the cover or to the front of the screen.
  • the pusher plate "floats" in front of the wall cladding and is thus particularly easy to operate. In addition, the cleaning of the actuator is then very easy, since the pusher surface is easily accessible.
  • the diameter or the diagonal of the front surface of the pusher plate is equal to or larger than the diameter or the diagonal of the cover or attached to the cover screen.
  • the actuating device according to the invention then offers an optimum of pusher surface (operating surface) in relation to the size of the predetermined inspection opening.
  • actuating device provides that the operating element is coupled via a damping element, in particular via a silicone brake or a rubber buffer with the cover.
  • a damping element in particular via a silicone brake or a rubber buffer with the cover.
  • the actuating device shown in the drawing is intended in particular for actuating a concealed cistern designed in two-volume flushing and / or flush-stop technology.
