Description

La présente invention concerne un abattant pour toilettes à circulation d'air, inhalant les odeurs directement au niveau de la cuvette.The present invention relates to a flap for toilet circulating air, inhaling odors directly at the bowl.

En effet, dans la majorité des pièces sanitaires, le système de ventilation mécanique contrôlée ou VMC, situé en général en partie haute, voire au plafond de la pièce, fait remonter de manière très peu judicieuse les odeurs d'usage des cuvettes de toilettes au nez des occupants.Indeed, in the majority of the sanitary rooms, the controlled mechanical ventilation system or VMC, located generally in the upper part, or even on the ceiling of the room, makes up a very misguided way the odors of use of the toilet bowls at the nose of the occupants.

De nombreux modèles de toilettes à circulation d'air ont déjà été proposés par le passé en vue de réduire ou de supprimer les odeurs dégagées. L'extraction de l'air au niveau de la cuvette s'effectue, soit au moyen de la VMC équipant les locaux, soit au moyen d'un moteur électrique spécialement affecté à cet usage.Many models of circulating toilets have been proposed in the past to reduce or eliminate odors. The extraction of air at the bowl is performed either by means of the VMC equipping the premises, or by means of an electric motor specially assigned for this purpose.

De tels modèles de toilettes à circulation d'air sont décrits par exemple dans les documents FR-A-2 709 318 , US 204/019960A1 ou FR-A1-2 643 926 .Such models of air-circulating toilets are described for example in the documents FR-A-2,709,318 , US 204 / 019960A1 or FR-A1-2 643 926 .

Toutefois, aucune de ces propositions n'a jusqu'à présent donné entière satisfaction et il n'existe d'ailleurs à notre connaissance aucune réalisation industrielle. De plus, dans le cas de la VMC, l'extraction de l'air s'y effectue généralement de manière permanente, ce qui peut amener des perturbations dans le système général de ventilation de la pièce, de la maison ou de l'immeuble collectif.However, none of these proposals has so far been entirely satisfactory and, to our knowledge, there is no industrial achievement. In addition, in the case of CMV, the extraction of air is generally permanent, which can lead to disturbances in the general ventilation system of the room, house or building. collective.

La présente invention a donc pour but principal de remédier à cette lacune et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un abattant destiné à être monté sur la plupart des cuvettes de toilettes dont la pièce est équipée d'un système d'extraction d'air, se composant d'une lunette venant s'appliquer de manière étanche sur la cuvette, tout en ménageant une entrée d'air à l'avant et une sortie d'air à l'arrière, ladite sortie étant reliée au système d'extraction d'air, et d'un couvercle, caractérisé en ce que le couvercle en position fermée obture l'entrée d'air avant.The main object of the present invention is therefore to remedy this deficiency and, for this purpose, it relates to a flap intended to be fitted to most toilet bowls, the piece of which is equipped with an extraction system. air, consisting of a bezel coming sealingly on the bowl, while providing an air inlet to the front and an air outlet to the rear, said outlet being connected to the system of extraction of air, and a lid, characterized in that the lid in the closed position closes the front air inlet.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulière de l'invention, la lunette est constitué par une galette de forme appropriée à celle de la cuvette, pourvue sur sa face inférieure de deux patins latéraux reposant de manière étanche sur la cuvette, tandis que le couvercle est articulé sur la lunette et comporte à l'avant un rebord inférieur venant masquer l'espace libre ménagé entre les deux patins latéraux de la lunette.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the bezel is constituted by a shaped slab appropriate to that of the bowl, provided on its underside with two lateral pads resting in a sealed manner on the bowl, while the lid is hinged on the bezel and has at the front a lower rim to hide the free space between the two side skids of the bezel.

Ainsi, lors de l'utilisation des toilettes, le relèvement de la lunette déclenche une circulation d'air au travers de la cuvette entre l'entrée et la sortie, ce qui permet d'évacuer en permanence les mauvaises odeurs. Après utilisation, et à condition d'avoir préalablement rabattu le couvercle, la cuvette se trouve pratiquement étanche, évitant ainsi de rejeter dans la pièce des gaz malodorants lors de l'actionnement de la chasse, sous l'effet de l'arrivée massive d'une certaine quantité d'eau dans la cuvette. L'obturation de la prise d'air au niveau de la cuvette évite ainsi de perturber l'aspiration haute de la VMC de la pièce qui redevient seule efficace.Thus, when using the toilet, raising the telescope triggers a flow of air through the bowl between the inlet and the outlet, which allows permanent evacuation of bad odors. After use, and provided that the lid has been folded down beforehand, the bowl is practically watertight, thus avoiding smelly gases being introduced into the room when the flush is actuated, as a result of the massive influx of water. a certain amount of water in the bowl. Closing the air intake at the bowl thus avoids disrupting the high suction of the VMC of the room which becomes only effective.

De préférence, le couvercle comporte une poignée disposée de manière à empêcher l'actionnement de la chasse lorsqu'il se trouve en position ouverte.Preferably, the cover has a handle arranged to prevent actuation of the flush when in the open position.

On évite ainsi le rejet de gaz malodorants lors de l'actionnement de la chasse. De plus, la présence d'une poignée rend plus hygiénique le maniement du couvercle.This avoids the release of smelly gases during the actuation of the hunt. In addition, the presence of a handle makes the handling of the lid more hygienic.

De préférence également, le débit assuré par l'entrée d'air avant est inférieur au débit d'air extrait par la sortie arrière, ce qui permet de maintenir la cuvette en dépression pendant toute la durée de l'utilisation et encore plus après la fermeture du couvercle.Also preferably, the flow rate provided by the front air intake is less than the air flow extracted by the rear outlet, which keeps the bowl in depression for the duration of use and even more after the closing the lid.

Plusieurs formes d'exécution de l'invention sont décrites ci-après à titre d'exemples, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une cuvette de toilettes équipée d'un abattant conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de la cuvette avec le couvercle de l'abattant enlevé ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de côté avec le couvercle fermé ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue de côté avec le couvercle ouvert ; et
  • les figures 5 à 8 sont des vues analogues aux figures 1 à 4 d'une variante de réalisation de l'invention.
Several embodiments of the invention are described hereinafter by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a toilet bowl equipped with a flap according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a top view of the bowl with the lid of the flap removed;
  • the figure 3 is a side view with the lid closed;
  • the figure 4 is a side view with the lid open; and
  • the Figures 5 to 8 are views similar to Figures 1 to 4 of an alternative embodiment of the invention.

Les toilettes représentées sur les figures 1 à 4 comprennent tout d'abord une cuvette 1 surmontée d'un réservoir de chasse d'eau 2 muni d'un bouton d'actionnement 3 à sa partie supérieure. Conformément à l'invention, ces toilettes sont équipées d'une lunette constituée par une galette 4 dont la forme correspond à celle de la cuvette 1 et qui est pourvue sur sa face inférieure de deux patins latéraux 5 reposant de manière étanche sur le bord supérieur de la cuvette, tout en ménageant une entrée d'air 6 à l'avant et une sortie d'air 7 à l'arrière. Cette lunette est fixée de manière classique sur la cuvette au moyen de deux tiges filetées associées à des écrous 16.The toilets represented on the Figures 1 to 4 first comprise a bowl 1 surmounted by a flush tank 2 provided with an actuating button 3 at its upper part. According to the invention, these toilets are equipped with a bezel constituted by a pancake 4 whose shape corresponds to that of the bowl 1 and which is provided on its underside with two lateral pads 5 sealingly resting on the upper edge of the bowl, while providing an air inlet 6 at the front and an air outlet 7 at the rear. This bezel is conventionally fixed to the bowl by means of two threaded rods associated with nuts 16.

La sortie d'air 7 est reliée à la ventilation mécanique (VMC) équipant les locaux, par l'intermédiaire d'une boîte à air 8 disposée entre la lunette 4 et le réservoir de chasse 2, en continuité avec la sortie d'air 7 afin d'éviter tout siphonnement, et de gaines telles que 9 et 10. La gaine verticale 10 est située du côté inverse à celui du robinet d'alimentation du réservoir et elle est reliée au raccord de dérivation 14 posé sur la bouche de ventilation mécanique générale 15. Ce raccord de dérivation secondaire sera d'un diamètre bien moindre que celui de la ventilation mécanique principale de la pièce pour éviter toute inversion du système préjudiciable à l'ensemble de la maison ou de l'immeuble.The air outlet 7 is connected to the mechanical ventilation (VMC) equipping the premises, through an air box 8 disposed between the bezel 4 and the flush tank 2, in continuity with the air outlet 7 to avoid siphoning, and sheaths such as 9 and 10. The vertical sheath 10 is located on the opposite side to that of the tank supply valve and is connected to the branch connector 14 placed on the ventilation vent general mechanical 15. This secondary bypass connection will be of a much smaller diameter than that of the main mechanical ventilation of the room to avoid any inversion of the system detrimental to the entire house or building.

En l'absence de VMC dans les locaux, on pourra prévoir un moteur électrique indépendant raccordé à une sortie spécialement aménagée à cet effet. De plus, l'entrée d'air 6 est calculée pour assurer un débit d'air inférieur à celui de la sortie d'air 7 située à l'arrière, afin de créer une dépression dans la cuvette 1.In the absence of VMC in the premises, it will be possible to provide an independent electric motor connected to an outlet specially designed for this purpose. In addition, the air inlet 6 is calculated to ensure an air flow rate lower than that of the air outlet 7 located at the rear, in order to create a depression in the bowl 1.

La forme arrière particulière et droite de la lunette sert également à réduire son ouverture à l'arrière et limiter ainsi les entrées d'air trop proches de la sortie 7, favorisant le siphonnement.The particular rear shape and right of the bezel also serves to reduce its opening at the rear and thus limit the air intake too close to the outlet 7, promoting siphoning.

L'abattant selon l'invention est complété par un couvercle 11 articulé sur la lunette 4 et comportant à l'avant un rebord inférieur 12 qui vient obturer l'entrée d'air 6 lorsqu'il est rabattu sur la lunette, comme représenté sur la figure 3. De préférence, ce couvercle 11 est muni sur sa face supérieure d'une poignée 13 qui lorsque le couvercle est ouvert, comme représenté sur la figure 4, empêche d'avoir accès au bouton 3 d'actionnement de la chasse.The flap of the invention is completed by a cover 11 hinged to the bezel 4 and having at the front a lower flange 12 which closes the air inlet 6 when folded on the bezel, as shown on the figure 3 . Preferably, this cover 11 is provided on its upper face with a handle 13 which, when the lid is open, as shown in FIG. figure 4 , prevents access to button 3 to actuate the flush.

Ainsi, lors de l'utilisation des toilettes, une circulation d'air s'établit naturellement entre l'entrée 6 et la sortie 7 sous l'effet de la dépression provoquée par la VMC. Les mauvaises odeurs sont donc automatiquement et en permanence évacuées vers l'extérieur au niveau de la cuvette par la VMC, sans avoir à traverser la pièce pour être récupérées en hauteur, comme c'est le cas jusqu'à maintenant.Thus, when using the toilet, an air flow is established naturally between the inlet 6 and the outlet 7 under the effect of the depression caused by the VMC. Bad odors are automatically and continuously evacuated to the outside of the bowl by the VMC, without having to cross the room to be recovered in height, as is the case until now.

Après utilisation, il convient tout d'abord de rabattre le couvercle 11 sur la lunette 4, afin d'avoir accès au bouton 3 d'actionnement de la chasse. Ce faisant, l'entrée d'air 6 se trouve obturée par le rebord 12 du couvercle 11, rendant ainsi les toilettes pratiquement étanches. Grâce à cette disposition, lors de l'actionnement de la chasse, on évite de rejeter dans les locaux des gaz malodorants poussés hors de la cuvette par l'arrivée brutale d'une importante masse d'eau.After use, it is first necessary to fold the cover 11 on the bezel 4, to have access to the button 3 for actuating the flush. In doing so, the air inlet 6 is closed off by the rim 12 of the cover 11, thus making the toilet substantially watertight. With this arrangement, when actuating the flush, it is avoided to release into the premises smelly gas pushed out of the bowl by the sudden arrival of a large body of water.

Une fois le couvercle rabattu, l'entrée d'air 6 se trouve obturée par le rebord 12 du couvercle, rendant ainsi les toilettes quasi-étanches.Once the lid is closed, the air inlet 6 is closed by the rim 12 of the lid, thus making the toilet virtually leakproof.

Il convient par ailleurs de noter qu'en dehors des périodes d'utilisation des toilettes, et à condition que le couvercle 11 soit bien fermé, la cuvette 1 n'aspire que très légèrement par manque d'entrée d'air, ce qui permet de rendre toute son efficacité à la prise d'air haute de VMC de la pièce et d'éviter toute perturbation du système de la maison ou de l'immeuble collectif.It should also be noted that outside the periods of use of the toilet, and provided that the lid 11 is closed, the bowl 1 sucks only very slightly for lack of air intake, which allows to make the VMC high air intake of the room effective and to avoid any disturbance to the system of the house or apartment building.

La variante de réalisation représentée sur les figures 5 à 8 illustre l'application de l'invention à un système de toilettes à réservoir intégré, c'est-à-dire dans lequel le réservoir de chasse d'eau 2 est encastré dans le mur de façon à être invisible. Seul le bouton d'actionnement 3 de la chasse est apparent à travers une ouverture pratiquée à cet effet dans le mur. Dans ce cas, la poignée 13 est située dans le prolongement du couvercle et sert également à empêcher d'avoir accès au bouton d'actionnement 3, tout en participant à l'amélioration générale de l'hygiène.The embodiment variant represented on the Figures 5 to 8 illustrates the application of the invention to an integrated tank toilet system, that is to say in which the flush tank 2 is embedded in the wall so as to be invisible. Only the actuating button 3 of the flush is apparent through an opening made for this purpose in the wall. In this case, the handle 13 is located in the extension of the cover and also serves to prevent access to the actuating button 3, while participating in the general improvement of hygiene.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation représenté et décrit, et on peut lui apporter de nombreuses modifications sans, pour autant, sortir du cadre de la présente invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described, and many modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

L'invention pourra en particulier être adaptée sans difficulté à la plupart des toilettes existantes. On pourra même réutiliser des lunettes existantes en rajoutant simplement deux patins latéraux 5 sous la forme de baguettes adhésives et en y accolant une prise d'air à l'arrière, reliée à la VMC existante ou à une ventilation mécanique à créer. Bien entendu, il conviendra également de modifier le couvercle en conséquence en lui rajoutant un rebord 12 et une poignée 13.The invention can in particular be easily adapted to most existing toilets. Existing glasses can even be reused by simply adding two lateral pads 5 in the form of adhesive sticks and attaching an air intake at the rear, connected to the existing VMC or mechanical ventilation to create. Of course, it will also be necessary to modify the lid accordingly by adding a flange 12 and a handle 13.

On peut également concevoir des toilettes spécialement adaptées à l'invention. Dans ce dernier cas, la prise d'air pourra avantageusement être intégrée à la porcelaine de la cuvette qu'elle traversera pour venir derrière le réservoir, ou à côté s'il est intégré, se raccorder à la gaine verticale arrière 10, elle-même cachée dans le doublage de la pièce, pour rendre l'ensemble du système totalement invisible.It is also possible to design toilets specially adapted to the invention. In the latter case, the air intake can advantageously be integrated into the porcelain of the bowl that it will cross to come behind the tank, or next to it if it is integrated, to connect to the rear vertical sheath 10, itself even hidden in the dubbing of the room, to make the entire system completely invisible.
