Description

Description: The present invention relates to a two-piece toilet lid made of transparent material with magnet, a method for producing the toilet lid and its use.

Toilet seats of conventional design usually have a toilet lid. Commercially available toilet lids are not transparent, but can also be printed with a picture. To change the picture, however, then the toilet lid must be replaced. Accordingly little is the appearance of the toilet lid changed.

To change this, DE 20 017 149 U proposes a toilet seat cover, which is provided on the top and / or bottom with at least one recess, wherein tool-free image, decoration and / or advertising material and each one transparent Cover can be introduced. As a mounting option for the transparent cover, which is inserted into the recess, / a movable closure element and / or at least one immovable holding nipple is proposed. The problem with this embodiment is that the transparent cover is often difficult to remove because it is lowered into the recess. In addition, dirt particles can accumulate in the edges of the depression, which are difficult to remove.

It therefore has the task of providing a toilet lid, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular inserted image, decoration and / or advertising material quickly, easily and with bare hands inserted and later easily removed can. In addition, it should be easy to clean.

This object has surprisingly been achieved with a two-piece toilet lid (1) with an upper part (2) and a lower part (3), wherein the upper part (2) and / or lower part (3) consist essentially of transparent material / consists, characterized in that at least one magnet (4) is mounted on the upper part (2) and on the lower part (3) in order to fix the upper part (2) on the lower part (3).

Also claimed is a method for producing the inventive toilet lid (1), wherein the upper part (2) and / or lower part (3) by means of casting, injection molding, extrusion and / or rotational molding are / is made.

In addition, the use of the inventive toilet lid (1) and the toilet lid (1) according to the present invention for the transmission of messages, for attaching images and / or drawings claimed.

The inventive toilet lid (1) has surprisingly many advantages. Thus, the transparent upper part (2) can be easily removed from the lower part (3) by the upper part (2), for example, with the fingers laterally pushed away from the lower part (3). After image, decoration and / or advertising material are placed, for example, on the lower part (3), the upper part (2) can easily be placed, for example, slightly laterally offset on the lower part (3), whereby due to the attraction of the magnets, the upper part (2). 2) fast right, ie is flush with the lower part (3), is placed. In addition, the inventive toilet lid (1) can be easily cleaned because the upper part (2) can be completely removed, whereby no recesses are necessary to admit image, decoration and / or promotional material. The inventive toilet lid (1) can also be easily prepared without complex procedures. And the use of the invention brings life and variety in the quiet village. In addition, it allows the transmission of messages and information, such as advertising, which in particular public toilets can open up an additional source of income.

The upper part (2) and lower part (3) arranged magnets (4) are particularly advantageously arranged on the upper part (2) and the lower part (3) that - if the upper part (2) correctly above the lower part (3 ) - the magnets (4) tighten. In other words, the magnets (4) arranged on the upper part (2) are ideally arranged in mirror image to the magnets (4) fastened to the lower part (3).
