Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cisterns which are intended to be built into a wall and to supply water to a W-C bowl generally suspended and which forms, with an operating member, the part visible from the suspended W-C assembly.
  • the prior art flush tanks have a maneuver arranged on the top or front.
  • the Applicant is aware that the plumber is obliged to keep in stock tanks of the opening type on the top and tanks of the type with front opening to be able to respond to the two different types of mounting that he is led to perform.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks with a reservoir of flush which can be mounted either with the operating device arranged on the top of the tank, either with the operating member arranged on the front.
  • the flush tank comprises a tank in which is a flush mechanism actuated by a mechanism actuation with cleat sensitive to the movement of an operating member passing through an opening in the tank and is characterized in that an opening (5a) is made in the upper face and another opening is made in the front of the tank and the actuating mechanism is arranged so that it can be sensitive to the movement of the operating member that it is facing of the opening on the upper face or opposite the reopening on the facade.
  • the plumber no longer needs to keep two types of tanks nor to perform standard exchange of a tank of a type by a tank of another type if the user wishes to change the position of the maneuver, since a single tank accommodates one maneuver by the top or by the facade.
  • Figure 1 shows a cistern which includes a tank 2 and an evacuation pipe 4 connecting the tank 2 to the bowl of W-C, which is not shown in figure.
  • the tank 2 is held on a support 3 serving to support frame when flushing the flush tank into a wall.
  • the tank 2 contains a flushing mechanism which is actuated by a actuation mechanism.
  • the flushing mechanism allows, when activated, to put the tank 2 in communication with the discharge pipe 4. This kind of hunting mechanism is well known and has not been shown in the figures.
  • a notch 5 comprising a first part 5a on the top of the tank and a second part 5b on the front of the tank is provided at the top of the tank 2.
  • the two parts of the notch are of shape and dimension identical.
  • Figure 3 shows an embodiment of the maneuver which controls the actuation mechanism contained in the tank.
  • This operating member is formed of an angle 6, the wings 7 and 8, similarly dimension and external contour, cover the notch of the tank, and is screwed on its periphery at the periphery of the notch.
  • One of the wings 7 of the angle 6 is in the form of a frame on which is screwed a frame 10 for holding a control plate 9 which is fixed by clipping to frame 10, the other wing being full.
  • a control plate 9 which is fixed by clipping to frame 10, the other wing being full.
  • Part of this plate 9 of control constitutes an operating member 11 which, pushed manually by the user of the W-C, comes to cooperate with the actuation mechanism included in tank 2.
  • the angle iron 6 is placed with its wing 7 in the form of a frame opposite the part of the opening 5a which is formed on the top (FIG. 1) or opposite the part of the opening 5b which is formed on the facade ( Figure 2).
  • Figures 4 and 5 illustrates the linkage 11 of the operating mechanism actuation of the flushing mechanism.
  • the control mechanism which is located inside the tank 2, is formed by a wheel 12 mounted on its axis 13.
  • the wheel 12 has a projection 14 which cooperates with the flushing mechanism, which puts the tank 2 in communication or not with the exhaust duct 4, as well as two tabs 15 and 16 fixed to the periphery of the wheel 12.
  • the tabs 15 and 16 each have a surface 17 of contact on which pushes the operating member 11. Cleat 15 is placed so that its surface 17 is horizontal so that when the member 11 of maneuver comes to press on it in a vertical direction, this causes a rotation of the wheel 12 and an uplift of the projection 14.
  • the cleat 16 is placed so that its surface 17 is vertical so that when the member 11 of maneuver comes to press on it in a horizontal direction, this causes a rotation of the wheel 12 and an uplift of the projection 14, the uplift of the projection 14, as indicated by an arrow, having the effect of actuating the hunting, not shown in the figure.
  • the tabs 15 and 16 are arranged on the periphery of the wheel so that the stroke of the operating member 11 has the same length, whether in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the drive of the hunting mechanism by the actuation mechanism in the case where the operating member 11 is in front of the tank and pushes the stopper 16 while FIG. 5 corresponds to the case where the operating member 11 is on top of the tank and pushes the cleat 15.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the actuation mechanism which can be controlled from above or from the front.
  • the actuation mechanism comprises a lever 18 which can tilt around the axis 19 and one end of which cooperates with the flushing mechanism (not shown in the figure) as well as a cleat 20, articulated at the other end of the lever and which can pivot so that its contact surface 17 can take a vertical position (figure 6) or a horizontal position (figure 7) which respectively allow cooperation with the operating member 11 by the front or the top of the tank.
  • the stroke of the actuator is the same as it moves in the vertical or horizontal direction.
