Abstract

L'invention concerne une cuve de toilettes cachée qui est encastrée dans un mur. Ladite cuve comprend : un corps dont la partie avant est pourvue d'une fenêtre située au-dessus d'un niveau d'eau maximum, et dont la partie arrière possède une ouverture dans laquelle est montée une soupape de remplissage; et une ouverture d'évacuation dans laquelle est montée une soupape d'évacuation qui est actionnée par un bouton pour vider le contenu d'eau dans les toilettes. Ladite cuve comprend un couvercle amovible qui recouvre la fenêtre et dans lequel est situé ledit bouton d'actionnement. La taille de la fenêtre est suffisamment grande pour permettre l'accès aux soupapes de remplissage et de fonctionnement et le retrait de celles-ci dans un position sensiblement horizontale, pour le montage ou le démontage de ladite cuve. Le couvercle et le bouton d'actionnement sont les seuls éléments visibles de ladite cuve lorsque celle-ci est encastrée.
