Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuating device for triggering a flush of a sanitary article according to claim 1.
  • Actuating devices for triggering the flush of a sanitary article, such as a toilet or urinal, have become known from the state of the art.
  • EP2388380 discloses such an actuating device as an example.
  • the actuating device disclosed here comprises an actuating plate with at least one button for activating the flush.
  • a support frame is arranged in front of a wall opening, and the actuator plate is connected to this support frame.
  • the support frame is supported on a wall surface of a wall panel, and the actuator plate covers the support frame.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing an actuating device with an actuating plate and a bearing frame, which provides a good and permanent connection between the actuating plate and the bearing frame. This is particularly true under the condition of simple assembly of the actuating plate on the bearing frame.
  • the actuating device serves to trigger a flush of a sanitary article.
  • the actuating device comprises an actuating plate, which has at least one actuating element, and a bearing frame.
  • the actuating plate and the Bearing frames can be connected to one another via a fastening structure.
  • the fastening structure has at least a first fastening point and a second fastening point.
  • the first fastening point has a first receptacle and a first pin engaging in the first receptacle.
  • the first receptacle and the first pin are designed such that the first pin is guided in the first receptacle without locking.
  • the second fastening point has a second receptacle and a second pin engaging in the second receptacle.
  • the second receptacle and the second pin are designed such that the second pin is firmly locked in the second receptacle with respect to a movement transverse to the pin axis of the second pin.
  • This type of bearing has the advantage that during installation, the first pin can be positioned in the area of the first receptacle, and that as the actuator plate moves progressively toward the bearing frame, the actuator plate performs a pivoting movement around the pin that slides into the first receptacle.
  • This type of bearing also has the advantage that both bearing pins can be brought into contact with their respective receptacles simultaneously, resulting in a kind of parallel movement between the bearing plate and the actuator plate. This provides the installer with several installation options.
  • the actuating element is preferably an actuating button movably mounted in the actuating plate.
  • the actuating element can also be an electronic sensor, such as an infrared sensor.
  • the actuating element is arranged so as to be movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the actuating plate.
  • the actuating element is connected to the actuating plate via a hinge.
  • the bearing frame is preferably connected to a cistern or parts of a cistern.
  • the tenon axis extends centrally through the respective tenon.
  • the first receptacle is designed such that the first pin can be pivoted about the pin axis of the first pin.
  • said receptacles are arranged on the actuating plate, and said pins are arranged on the bearing frame.
  • said pins are arranged on the actuating plate, and said receptacles are arranged on the bearing frame.
  • the shape of the first receptacle is different from the shape of the second receptacle. This prevents, for example, the first pin from sliding past the first receptacle when the second pin engages in the second receptacle when the actuator plate is mounted on the bearing frame.
  • the secure sliding or locking of the pins in the receptacles ensures secure attachment of the actuator plate to the bearing frame.
  • the first pin and the second pin are substantially identical or identical to one another.
  • the pins may also be differently configured.
  • the first pin and/or the second pin have a cylindrical portion and a recessed portion.
  • the cylindrical portion extends partially around a pin axis, and the recessed portion provides a recess in the respective pin.
  • This design allows the cross-section of the pin to be made smaller, thus saving material. Furthermore, the pin can be designed to be more stable against deformation under force compared to pins with a smaller diameter.
  • the recess section extends as a recess from the outside into the cylinder, such that the lateral surface of the cylinder section extends only partially around the central axis.
  • the fit between the first receptacle and the first pin is designed as a clearance fit.
  • the fit between the first The recess and the first pin are designed as a clearance fit, at least in the vertical direction.
  • the vertical direction is the direction that runs vertically in the installed position, i.e., in the perpendicular direction.
  • the clearance fit is a fit with a clearance of maximum 0.2 millimeters, in particular maximum 0.1 millimeters.
  • a first guide section is assigned to the first receptacle, wherein the first pin can be moved through the guide section via an assembly movement in a direction transverse to its pin axis and is inserted into the first receptacle via this movement.
  • the first guide section is formed with a free passage opposite the receptacle, through which the first pin can be inserted into the first guide section.
  • the free passage can have a clear width that is larger or smaller than the corresponding extension of the pin. If the clear width is smaller than the extension of the pin, a constriction is created that prevents the pin from sliding uncontrollably into the first receptacle during assembly. However, the constriction is dimensioned in such a way that it does not provide a true locking mechanism, but merely a slight resistance.
  • the first guide section is designed such that the first pin can pivot in the guide section when moving through the first guide section.
  • the first guide section is designed such that the first pin is guided on the top and bottom sides.
  • a second guide section is associated with the second receptacle.
  • At least one locking cam is arranged at the transition from the second guide section to the second receptacle, providing said locking.
  • the second pin can be moved through the second guide section via an assembly movement in a direction transverse to its pin axis, and is inserted into the second receptacle via this movement.
  • the second guide section has an upper guide surface and a lower guide surface.
  • the lower guide surface protrudes further from the second receptacle than the upper guide surface.
  • the upper guide surface protrudes further from the second receptacle than the lower guide surface. The longer design of one guide surface allows the pin to be guided over a longer distance.
  • the upper guide surface and/or the lower guide surface is oriented such that when the second pin is inserted into the second receptacle, the first pin is moved into the first receptacle.
  • the upper guide surface and/or the lower guide surface is oriented such that when the second pin is inserted into the second receptacle, the actuating plate is moved towards the bearing frame and from top to bottom with respect to the bearing frame.
  • the bearing frame is formed with a frame recess, wherein the frame recess is laterally delimited by side walls and wherein the first pin and the second pin protrude into the frame recess away from the side walls.
  • the first fastening points and the second fastening points are arranged in pairs. This means that there are two first fastening points and two second fastening points.
  • the two first fastening points are located on opposite side walls of the bearing frame, and the two second fastening points are also located on opposite side walls of the bearing frame.
  • the first receptacle and the second receptacle each have a stop surface, wherein when a force is applied during actuation of the at least one actuating element, the stop surface is pressed against the first pin and the second pin.
