Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toilet seat with a toilet lid, a toilet seat and a joint. Furthermore, the toilet seat comprises a bolt which can be connected firmly to the toilet bowl, via which the toilet lid and the toilet seat are attachable to the toilet bowl.
  • One method of attaching a toilet lid and toilet seat to a toilet bowl is to secure the toilet lid and toilet seat in holes in the toilet bowl by means of two screws.
  • attachments are inserted into the holes of the toilet bowl.
  • the toilet lid and the toilet seat are screwed to the attachments.
  • the disadvantage of this is that the toilet lid and the toilet seat must be unscrewed consuming to remove the toilet bowl. On the one hand, this is time-consuming and laborious, and on the other hand, the screws wear out due to frequent loosening and tightening, so that secure attachment of the toilet lid and toilet seat to the toilet bowl is no longer guaranteed.
  • the joint has a recess for receiving the bolt.
  • the bolt in turn, has a circumferential groove, into which, in a fastening position, a securing element, which is connected so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, engages with the joint.
  • a securing element which is connected so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, engages with the joint.
  • the toilet seat comprises a button which, in a manual operation, the securing element rotates about the axis of rotation such that the securing element is released from the groove.
  • the unit formed from the toilet lid, the toilet seat and the joint can be removed from the bolt and thus from the toilet bowl.
  • the knob and the securing element a latching connection is formed, via which the unit formed from the toilet lid, the toilet seat and the joint can be easily attached to the toilet bowl and removed again from the toilet bowl.
  • the toilet seat comprises a further joint, a further securing element and a further bolt, through which a second latching connection is formed.
  • the securing element is preferably held in the fastening position via at least one spring. This ensures that the unit formed from the toilet lid, the toilet seat and the joint is automatically held in the mounting position after placement on the bolt, so that the detection of the unit can not be forgotten. Thus, an accidental removal of the unit, for example, when lifting the toilet lid and / or the toilet seat, avoided. to Decrease the unit formed by the toilet lid, the toilet seat and the joint of the bolt, the securing element is rotated against the spring force of the spring about its axis of rotation.
  • the knob moves a wedge and a key contacting the wedge over a tapered surface pin against the spring force of a return spring. After releasing the button, the pin is moved back by the restoring force of the return spring to its original position.
  • the wedge due to the contact on the beveled surfaces and thus the button are moved back to their original position. The button is thus easily returned to its original position.
  • the toilet lid and the toilet seat are connected to each other via at least one rotary damper.
  • an automatic lowering of the toilet lid is achieved. Slips the toilet lid of an operator when folding out of his hand, it does not fall unchecked on the toilet seat, but slowly lowers. In this way, damage to the toilet seat is prevented and unnecessary noise avoided.
  • FIG. 1 a schematic perspective view of a toilet seat 10 and a toilet bowl 12 is shown.
  • the toilet seat 10 comprises a toilet lid 14, a toilet seat 16 and two joints 18, 20, via which the toilet lid 14 and the toilet seat 16 are rotatable relative to each other and rotatable relative to the toilet bowl 12.
  • the joints 18, 20 each have a recess 22, 24, in each of which a part of a bolt 26, 28 of a fastener 30, 32 for attachment of the toilet lid 14, the toilet seat 16 and the joints 18, 22 formed unit on the Toilet bowl 12 is receivable.
  • the fasteners 30, 32 are screwed via a respective screw 34, 36 to the toilet bowl 12 and firmly connected thereto. By attaching the unit formed by the toilet lid 14, the toilet seat 16 and the joints 18, 20 on the bolts 26, 28, this unit is mounted on the toilet bowl 12.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the joint 20 and the fastener 32 after FIG. 1 shown. Elements with the same structure or the same function have the same reference numerals.
  • the hinge 22 and the fastener 30 are analogous to that in FIG FIG. 2 shown joint 24 and fastener 32 constructed.
  • the fastener 32 has a slot 38 through which the screw 36 is guided in the attachment of the fastener 32 on the toilet bowl 12 and on the different distances between the holes of the toilet bowl 12 through which the screws 30, 36 are performed, are compensated can.
  • the toilet seat 10 can be universally used regardless of the distance of the holes of the toilet bowl 12.
  • the bolt 28 has a circumferential groove 40 into which a securing element 42 engages when the unit formed from the toilet lid 14, the toilet seat 16 and the joints 18, 20 is placed on the fastening elements 30, 32 and the bolts 26, 28 in the recesses 22, 24 of the joints 18, 20 protrude.
  • a securing element 42 engages when the unit formed from the toilet lid 14, the toilet seat 16 and the joints 18, 20 is placed on the fastening elements 30, 32 and the bolts 26, 28 in the recesses 22, 24 of the joints 18, 20 protrude.
  • the securing element 42 is rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 46 with the aid of a pin 44.
  • the securing element 42 is held by a spring 48 in the fastening position such that at least a part of the securing element 42 projects into the recess 24. If the joint 20 is placed on the bolt 28, the securing element 42 is rotated by the contact with the tapered tip of the bolt 28 against the spring force of the spring 28 about the axis of rotation 46, so that the bevelled tip of the bolt 28 is guided past the securing element 42 , Subsequently, the securing element 42 engages in the groove 40 of the bolt 28 a.
  • the detent connection is released by means of a manually operable button 52.
  • the button 52 has on its inside an inclined surface 54, which contacts a complementary, also inclined surface 50 upon actuation of the knob 52 and the securing element 52 so far about its axis of rotation 46 rotates that the securing element 42 is released from the groove 40.
  • the joint 20 and thus also the unit formed from the toilet lid 14, the toilet seat 16 and the joints 18, 20 can be removed from the bolt 28 and thus from the toilet bowl 12.
  • the securing element 42 is moved back by the spring 48 back to its original position.
  • the hinge 20 comprises a return mechanism formed of a wedge 64, a pin 56 and a return spring 42 which moves the knob 52 to its original position upon release.
  • the wedge 64 is moved in the direction of the recess 24.
  • the pin 56 is moved vertically against the spring force of the return spring 62 down.
  • the spring force of the return spring 62 is moved by the spring force of the return spring 62 back up to its original position.
  • the joint 20 comprises a sleeve 65, by means of which the components of the joint 20 arranged within the sleeve 65 are protected against contamination.
  • toilet seat 16 is firmly connected to the sleeve 65.
  • the joint 20 comprises a rotational damper 66. Via the rotational damper 66, a slow lowering of the toilet lid 14 relative to the toilet seat 16 and relative to the toilet bowl 12 is achieved. As a result, a drop of the toilet lid 14 and thus damage to the toilet seat 10 are avoided.
  • FIG. 3 a schematic perspective view of the rotary damper 66 is shown.
  • the rotary damper 66 includes a sleeve 68 and a shaft 72 at least partially received in the sleeve 68.
  • the sleeve 68 and the shaft 72 are rotatably supported relative to one another.
  • the sleeve 68 has at one end a shoulder 90 on which the toilet lid 14 is rotatably attached.
  • the shaft 72 has at a first end a pin 74 which engages in a complementary to the pin 74 formed recess 70 of that part of the joint 20 in which the recess 24 for receiving the bolt 40 is arranged.
  • the shaft 72 is rotatably mounted on the pin 74 in the recess 70 and thus rotatably connected to the fastener 32 and the toilet bowl 12.
  • the pin 74 opposite second end of the shaft 72 has an external thread 76.
  • an O-ring 78, three spacers 80, 84, 86, a housing part 82 and a nut 88 are arranged, through which an axial displacement of the shaft 72 relative to the sleeve 68 and the ingress of contaminants in the be avoided by the sleeve 68 enclosed area.
  • a central portion of the shaft 72 has a plurality of ribs, one of which is designated by the reference numeral 92 by way of example.
  • the rotary damper 66 further comprises two leaflets 94, 96, one of which has two holes 98, 100.
  • the targeted by the rotary damper 66 attenuation is achieved, so that the non-rotatably connected to the sleeve 68 toilet lid 14 when it slips when folding down the operator from the hand, does not fall, but slowly drops.
  • another rotary damper may also be used.
  • rotational dampers can be used in which the damping takes place with the aid of springs or with the aid of a fluid.
