Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating arrangement for operating a toilet flush of a WC with a concealed cistern, wherein the actuating arrangement has the possibility of connecting a hand shower for cleaning.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a means for the cost-effective and simple installation, particularly for retrofitting, of a handheld shower located within user reach next to the toilet, using the same water connection that is also used to fill the cistern. Apart from the wall opening required to control the cistern via the actuator plate's trigger elements, no additional opening in the often tiled wall should be necessary.
  • an actuating arrangement according to claim 1, which comprises an actuating plate with at least one trigger element and a frame with at least one through-hole penetrating a web of the frame for connecting a hand shower.
  • Preferred developments of the actuating arrangement are recited in the dependent claims.
  • the position information used below refers to the view of a user who is standing in front of a toilet and looking vertically at a wall behind which a cistern is installed and on which the actuation arrangement with the actuation plate for actuating a toilet flush is arranged.
  • the actuator plate has at least one trigger element required to activate the toilet flush.
  • the trigger element can preferably be designed as a mechanical button. Alternatively, an electronic design, for example using a sensor, is possible.
  • the invention offsets the actuator plate perpendicular to the wall plane to create the necessary space for connecting the hand shower. The offset occurs towards the user, which results in an increase in the distance between the wall plane and the actuator plate.
  • the frame is arranged in the resulting gap, wherein the frame has a depth t of more than 11 mm and less than 56 mm.
  • the through recess, to which the hand shower can be screwed, is arranged on the wall of the frame.
  • the through-hole can be located on a radial outer side of the frame.
  • the through-hole can preferably be located on the left, right, upper or lower web of the frame.
  • through-holes are located on the side webs to offer the user options regarding the connection position and possibly the water pipe diameter, while simultaneously providing an efficient method for manufacturing and distributing the invention.
  • Unused through-holes can be subsequently closed, for example, with plastic caps or similar molded parts.
  • the bridge can have a thickening in the area of the through-hole to facilitate the connection of the hand shower and to increase the stability of the connection.
  • the frame preferably serves simultaneously as a support for a connection of a shut-off lever and a hose line of the hand shower fluidically connected to it with a water pipe located behind the actuator plate.
  • the shut-off lever serves as a leak protection.
  • Various designs of this connection are conceivable.
  • the preferred design is one in which the water line is led to the through-hole on the inside of the frame and is screwed to the inlet of the shut-off lever on the outside of the frame via the through-hole.
  • the frame is clamped between the screwed components and thus fulfills its function as a support.
  • Commercially available pipe connectors and seals can be used for the connection.
  • the through-hole can be provided by the manufacturer with at least one thread and at least one seal to facilitate the connection of the pipes.
  • the invention can preferably be implemented in a modular design.
  • the frame which has the through-hole(s), is arranged on an existing actuator plate via a snap-in connection.
  • Common actuator plates are usually arranged on a support plate mounted on the wall or cistern via a snap-in connection.
  • the frame has snap-in connection elements towards the support plate that correspond to those of the actuator plate, and towards the actuator plate, the frame has snap-in connection elements that correspond to those of the support plate.
  • the snap-in connection is implemented, for example, by a locking spring on the frame.
  • the frame can be arranged between the support plate and the actuator plate as an extension adapter. Advantages resulting from this design include the possibility of easily retrofitting the invention to existing toilets with concealed cisterns and the possibility of easy dismantling in order to return to a conventional actuator plate arrangement.
  • the frame can have different dimensions parallel to the wall plane.
  • its height h and width b can be adapted to the corresponding dimensions of common actuator plate models, with the height h being between 90 mm and 300 mm and the width b between 90 mm and 450 mm.
  • Actuator plates that are not exactly rectangular parallel to the wall plane can also be equipped with a frame. This applies in particular to round, oval, and trapezoidal actuator plates.
  • the height h refers to the largest vertical dimension
  • the width b refers to the largest horizontal dimension.
  • the invention can be implemented in an integral design.
  • the actuator plate is formed on the frame. This can also be understood as forming the frame by enlarging the usually very narrow lateral webs of the actuator plate itself to a degree that allows for the integration of the through-hole.
  • Relocating the actuator plate away from the wall may require replacing one or more drive rods.
  • the drive rods represent part of the mechanism behind the actuators for operating a flush valve. Commercially available longer drive rods can be used for replacement.
  • a domestic water connection is used to provide the water for operating the hand shower, which is preferably also used to fill the cistern.
  • the water line of the domestic connection is split using a distributor arrangement.
  • the distributor arrangement is preferably Y-shaped.
  • a line then runs from the distributor arrangement to a float valve, which is operated by a float in the cistern, while the connecting line for the hand shower runs from the distributor arrangement to the through-hole in the frame, where it connects to the hand shower.
  • the hand shower can preferably have a further valve operated by a shut-off button. This can preferably be arranged on the shower head to ensure easy operation of the hand shower.
  • the described arrangement of the components allows the toilet to be flushed as intended via the trigger element, with a second trigger element being able to be arranged on the actuator plate to provide a water-saving option.
  • the hand shower can be used completely independently of the toilet flush, provided the domestic water supply can provide a sufficient water flow rate.
  • Fig. 1 shows an actuating arrangement 10 installed on a wall from the user's perspective.
  • a rectangular actuating plate 12 includes a first trigger element 14 and an optional second trigger element 16.
