Definitions

  • the object of the present patent application is to register an improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns which incorporates notable innovations and advantages over the techniques used hitherto.
  • the invention proposes the development of an improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns which, due to the particular arrangement thereof, allows for the passage of water to the inside of the toilet cistern to be firmly, not gradually, closed, once the predetermined water level has been reached.
  • the present invention contributes to solving the present problem, since it allows the passage of water to the inside of the toilet cistern to be firmly, not gradually, closed once the predetermined water level has been reached.
  • the present invention has been developed with the aim of providing an improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns comprising a faucet body arranged inside a toilet cistern, with a first toilet float connected to a sleeve which, in turn, is integral to the faucet body, and the first toilet float being vertically moveable in relation to said sleeve as a result of the buoyancy thereof according to the water level inside the cistern, said first actuating toilet float being in accordance with the upward vertical movement of the closure of the passage of water through the faucet body for filling the cistern; characterised by the fact that it further comprises a second toilet float that is also connected to the same sleeve, and said second toilet float also being vertically moveable in relation to said sleeve as a result of the buoyancy thereof according to the water level inside the cistern; which further comprises a retention mechanism simultaneously connected to the sleeve, to the first toilet float and to the second toilet float, such that the retention mechanism
  • the retention mechanism comprises an anchoring latch joined to the second toilet float and a tooth arranged and protruding from the sleeve, both mutually arranged and enabled for releasing the anchoring latch on the tooth as a result of the rise of the second toilet float due to the buoyancy of the same on the water level.
  • the second toilet float is preferably incorporated in an upper section of the first toilet float.
  • the second toilet float is preferably smaller than the first toilet float.
  • the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns incorporates a mechanism for adjusting the height thereof in relation to the water cistern itself, said height defining the volume of the water load in each filling/flushing cycle of the same cistern.
  • the adjustment mechanism comprises a vertical rotating screw supported in the faucet body by through projections, and which passes through the first toilet float, screwed in a threaded section arranged in the first toilet float for said purpose, and said vertical screw further having a knob for adjusting the rotation thereof arranged on the upper end of the same and accessible by the user from the outside of the cistern.
  • the passage of water to the inside of the toilet cistern can be firmly, not gradually, closed once the predetermined water level has been reached.
  • the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns of the invention has an arrangement that is, in part, similar to that which is already known in the state of the art.
  • the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns of the invention comprises a faucet body 1 arranged inside a toilet cistern and with a first buoyant toilet float 11 connected to a sleeve 2 which, in turn, is integral to the faucet body 1.
  • the first toilet float 11 is not shown so as to allow the sleeve 2 to be more clearly seen.
  • Said toilet float 11 is vertically moveable in relation to said sleeve 2 as a result of the buoyancy thereof according to the water level inside the cistern during the filling of the water in the same cistern.
  • the first toilet float 11 actuates, according to the upward vertical movement thereof, the closure of the passage of water through the faucet body 1 for filling the same cistern.
  • the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns of the invention further comprises a second toilet float 12 that is also connected to the same sleeve 2.
  • the second toilet float 12 is smaller than the first toilet float 11 and is furthermore incorporated in an upper section of the first toilet float 11.
  • Said second toilet float 12 is also vertically moveable in relation to the previous sleeve 2, also as a result of the buoyancy thereof according to the water level inside the cistern.
  • the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns of the invention further comprises a retention mechanism.
  • Said retention mechanism is simultaneously connected to the first toilet float 11, to the second toilet float 12 and to the sleeve 2.
  • the retention mechanism is arranged such that it maintains the first toilet float 11 locked in the upward movement thereof, even though the water level of the cistern rises.
  • Said retention mechanism unlocks and allows the upward movement of the first toilet float 11 only when the second toilet float 12 has reached a specific height level during the vertical movement thereof due to the buoyancy of the same following the same water level inside the cistern.
  • the first toilet float 11 remains retained and locked in the vertical movement thereof by the action of the second toilet float 12 by means of the retention mechanism until the water level in the cistern rises enough to reach a specific height of said second toilet float 12 as a result of the buoyancy thereof.
  • the retention mechanism comprises an anchoring latch 3 joined to the second toilet float 12 and a tooth 4 arranged and projecting from the sleeve 2, as shown in Figure 2 and in an enlarged schematic detailed view in Figure 3 .
  • the rise of the first toilet float 11 by the buoyancy thereof is retained by means of the second toilet float 12 by the retention mechanism, and thus, once the water level of the cistern exceeds said second toilet float 12, an instantaneous vertical rise of the first toilet float 11 is produced, which also causes the desired instantaneous closure of the passage of water through the faucet body 1, as can be seen in Figure 4 .
  • this preferred embodiment of the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns incorporates a regulation mechanism for adjusting the height in relation to the water cistern itself of the different previously described elements, with the aim of being able to vary the volume of water of the cistern in each filling/flushing cycle according to the user's preference.
  • said adjustment mechanism comprises a vertical rotating screw 5 supported in the faucet body 1 by through projections 51, and which pass through the first toilet float 11, screwed in a threaded section 111 arranged in the first toilet float 11 for said purpose.
  • Said vertical screw 5 further has a knob 52 for adjusting the rotation thereof arranged on the upper end of the same and accessible by the user from the outside of the cistern.
  • the different previously described elements of the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns of the invention are raised or lowered in relation to the cistern itself, according to the volume of water the user desires to use in the cistern in each filing/flushing cycle.
  • This instantaneous way of closing the passage of water to the inside of the cistern of the improved water refilling device for toilet cisterns of the invention proposed substantially improves the state of the art and, additionally, saves water, given that the entry of said fluid is completely closed in a firm, not gradual, way, once the water level predetermined by the user is reached.
