ASPIRATEUR D'ODEURS DE CUVETTE DE TOILETTES TOILET BASKET ODOR VACUUM
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'aspiration et le dégagement des mauvaises odeurs dans la cuvette des toilettes.The present invention relates to a device for the suction and release of bad odors in the toilet bowl.
Le dégagement de ces odeurs est actuellement effectué soit d'une manière passive à l'aide des fenêtres ou des ouvertures sur des colonnes d'air, soit d'une manière active à l'aide de ventilateurs électriques placés haut sur les murs ou sur les plafonds. Que ce soit dans l'un ou l'autre de ces cas, le dégagement des mauvaises odeurs nécessite un certain temps pendant lequel les mauvaises odeurs dégagées par la défécation se répandent dans la pièce ce qui présente un désagrément pour l'utilisateur suivant et parfois une gêne pour l'utilisateur même.The release of these odors is currently carried out either passively using windows or openings on air columns, or actively using electric fans placed high on the walls or on the ceilings. Whether in one or the other of these cases, the release of bad odors requires a certain time during which the bad odors released by defecation spread in the room which presents an inconvenience for the next user and sometimes discomfort for the user himself.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient et permet l'aspiration de ces odeurs directement dans la cuvette des toilettes au fur et à mesure de leur dégagement.The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback and allows the suction of these odors directly into the toilet bowl as and when they are released.
Le dispositif comporte en effet, selon une première caractéristique, un tuyau d'aspiration en forme de fer à cheval pouvant épouser, en arrière et sur les côtés, le bord interne supérieur de la cuvette. Le tuyau d'aspiration est muni sur son bord infêro-interne de fentes permettant l'aspiration des odeurs. Le tuyau d'aspiration est relié à un mini-aspirateur situé à l'arrière de la cuvette soit au milieu soit sur le coté. Le mini-aspirateur est relié en arrière à un tube rigide ou flexible conduisant les odeurs à l'extérieur de la pièce. Le tuyau d'aspiration est maintenu par une planche de moindre épaisseur, de la forme du bord supérieur de la cuvette assurant sa stabilité et l'étanchéité du dispositif. La planche contient un interrupteur-ressort permettant le déclenchement du mini-aspirateur sous le poids de l'usager. Cet interrupteur peut être également placer à côté et déclancher manuellement.The device in fact comprises, according to a first characteristic, a suction tube in the shape of a horseshoe which can follow, behind and on the sides, the upper internal edge of the bowl. The suction pipe is provided on its inner-inner edge with slots allowing the odor suction. The suction hose is connected to a mini-vacuum cleaner located at the back of the bowl either in the middle or on the side. The mini-vacuum cleaner is connected at the back to a rigid or flexible tube leading odors to the outside of the room. The suction pipe is held by a board of lesser thickness, in the shape of the upper edge of the bowl ensuring its stability and the tightness of the device. The board contains a spring switch allowing the mini-vacuum cleaner to be triggered under the weight of the user. This switch can also be placed next to and trigger manually.
