Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composite WC- bidet lavatory pan, with particular reference to a built- in system of ducts equipped with flow control means, via which hot and/or cold water is supplied and ejected from the rim of the lavatory pan inwards, thus extending the use of the WC lavatory pan to bidet use.
  • Lavatory pans combining WC and bidet operation in one piece of equipment have been already described in many documents.
  • the common advantages of such equipment are : a) The use of the WC lavatory pan also for bidet use. b) The saving of space in bathrooms, due to combination of WC lavatory pan and bidet into one item. c) The saving of costs, due to the advantage above. d) The ability it offers to people who do not use toilet paper (which account for a considerable proportion of the population) to use the WC lavatory pan as a bidet.
  • Such composite WC-bidet lavatory pans need, of course, a system for supplying and ejecting hot or cold water, or a mixture thereof, with taps or mixing device for controlling the water flow.
  • Various water supply systems have been already disclosed : - Independent water supply systems located on the side of the lavatory pan - see for example European patent application N° 0051982.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved composite WC-bidet lavatory pan, having a simplified and more compact water supply system allowing cheaper industrial production of this WC-bidet lavatory pan, thus eliminating the disadvantages of the prior art devices.
  • a built-in system of ducts is provided, which is made of the same material as the lavatory pan and which is located at the rear internal part of the lavatory pan, said built-in system of ducts being designed to be connected to outer hot and/or cold water supply lines, and having at least one water outlet opening, located at the back of the rim of the lavatory pan.
  • the supply of water to the outlet opening(s) , through which it is ejected towards the inner part of the lavatory pan, is achieved via a specially designed duct, made of the same material as the lavatory pan and integral with said lavatory pan.
  • This duct having preferably the shape of a "T" extends towards the two rear side parts of the lavatory pan, where it is connected with the outer hot and cold water supply lines, located at the wall behind the lavatory pan.
  • Commercially available taps for the control of the water flow can be used, similar to those commonly used in commercially available bidet units for water supply via the hollow inner part of the bidet unit.
  • first and second bidet-type taps are respectively located at the two side parts of the built-in duct system, for controlling supply of hot and cold water.
  • the built-in system of ducts has an inclined inner bottom surface ; this eliminates undesirable collection of water in the system of ducts.
  • the built-in system of ducts comprises a central small ejecting duct, terminating in said water outlet opening, the small ejecting duct being inclined upwards if necessary and still being drained by an appropriate design of the bottom of said small ejecting duct and of the outlet opening.
  • the inner surface of said built-in system of ducts can be glazed.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the composite WC-bidet lavatory pan according to the invention ;
  • Figure 2 is a top plan view of the lavatory pan, taken along the line II-II of figure 3 ;
  • Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the lavatory pan, taken along the line III-III of figure 2 ;
  • Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view of the lavatory pan, taken along the line IV-IV of figure 2 ;
  • Figure 5 is a schematic perspective representation of the built-in system of ducts ;
  • Figure 6 is a vertical sectional wiew of the small ejecting duct of said built-in system of ducts.
  • the said composite WC-bidet lavatory pan consists of a WC lavatory pan 1 which is flushed (according to the drawings presented) by a low pressure cistern 2, via a flushing duct 3, a siphon connection 4 being provided at the back of the lavatory pan 1.
  • Numeral 5 indicates generally a built-in system of ducts which is located at the rear part of the lavatory pan 1 and which is made of the same molded material as the lavatory pan 1.
  • the system of ducts 5 is a cavity or chamber having the shape of Greek letter "T" with two rear side parts 6 and 7 linked at approximately right angles by a transverse front part 8, these parts surrounding the flushing duct 3.
  • the outlet opening 9 is protected, for the sake of cleanliness and hygiene, by a small projection 10 of the rim of the lavatory pan 1.
  • a hot water outer supply line 11 is connected to the first side part 6 of the system of ducts 5.
  • a cold water outer supply line 12 is connected to the second side part 7 of the system of ducts 5.
  • a first bidet-type tap 13, located on one side of the pan lavatory 1, controls the supply of hot water through supply line 11.
  • a second bidet-type tap 14, located on the opposite side of the lavatory pan 1, controls the supply of cold water through supply line 12.
  • the mixing of hot and cold waters is effected in the transverse part 8 of the system of ducts 5.
  • the inner bottom surface 15 of said system of ducts 5 is inclined, its front part being lower than its rear part, this avoiding water to collect and become stale in the cavity.
  • the design of the small water ejecting duct 16, terminating in outlet opening 9, may be such as to direct the water to any desired degree, upwards or downards, with a provision of drainage, to avoid collection of stale water - see figure 6.
  • the inner surface of the cavity can be rough or glazed. Due to the transverse part 8 and the ejecting duct
  • the flushing duct 3 is lowered downards by about 3 cm with respect to the region where it is usually connected to the rim of the lavatory pan 1. This will not influence the water flow for flushing, after making an appropriate small change to the mould, in order to improve the flow of the flushing water. Otherwise, the method for industrial production of this lavatory pan, combining WC and bidet features, is not different from that used for the production of common WC lavatory pans that are commercially available.
