Patent number: 6757918Abstract: A waste outlet fitting having a siphon which is mounted in a cup-shaped housing. The siphon has an inlet and an outlet and is inserted into the housing from above. For cleaning and maintenance, the siphon can be removed upwardly and subsequently re-inserted from above. Arranged at the inlet of the siphon is an inflow funnel which can likewise be installed and removed from above. The waste outlet fitting makes especially simple cleaning and maintenance of the waste outlet fitting and of the soil pipe possible.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2003Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventor: Roland Högger

Patent number: 6755209Abstract: The fill valve incorporates a housing (8) that has a vertical water-carrying channel (24) that leads from an inlet (49) to be fastened on the flush tank bottom (2) to a float-controlled diaphragm valve (50). The diaphragm valve (50) incorporates in a diaphragm (43) a passage for the pressure equalization between a first chamber (51) in front of the diaphragm (43) and a second chamber (52) behind the diaphragm (43). To actuate the diaphragm valve (50) a pilot valve (58) is provided. The diaphragm valve (50) is disposed laterally on the housing (8), thus permitting a low overall height.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2002Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventor: Paul Wey

Patent number: 6671898Abstract: The invention relates to a water fitting including a pipe having at least one water hook-up that is connected to a valve. A housing is detachably connected to the pipe and has a spout line that, when installed, is connected to the outlet of the valve. A screw secures the housing on the pipe. A sensing device is fitted inside the pipe. When the screw is removed, said sensing device automatically closes the valve and blocks the same in the closed position. This reliably prevents water from flowing out when the housing is disassembled.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Walter Eggenberger, Christoph Hauser, Jochen Marquart

Patent number: 6575500Abstract: A device for connecting a pipe socket, a tubular mounting part or a fitting (3) to a pipe (10), especially a water pipe. The inventive device comprises a connecting part (7). A first end (7a) of the connecting part is to be connected to a pipe (10) by a press connection, and a second end (7b) of the connecting part is to be connected to the pipe socket, mounting part or fitting (3). The second end (7b) of the connecting part (7) forms a plug-connection with a receiving part (4) of the pipe socket, the tubular mounting part or the fitting (3). After the press-connection is provided, the connecting part (7) is merely plugged in to connect a pipe (10), for example, to a mounting part.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2000Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventor: Hansruedi Wili

Patent number: 6560790Abstract: A high flow valve assembly and a low flow valve assembly are in parallel flow relation between an inlet and an outlet of a flush controller. The valve assemblies are opened by solenoid operated pilot valves under the control of a microprocessor based flush control system. A turbine directly measures flow through the low flow valve assembly by providing pulses to the microprocessor, and the control system counts pulses and computes flow through the high flow valve assembly to perform a flushing operation including an initial siphon trap flushing high flow portion and a subsequent trap reseal low flow portion. Corrections are made to the pulse count to correct for partial valve open conditions and other variables. An override switch provides a signal to the control system for a flush operation A user detection system includes a pair of emitters and a pair of detectors defining an array of intersecting detection points in a skewed plane in which the control system can locate the position of a user.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: David A. Saar, Dwight N. Johnson

Patent number: 6499152Abstract: A high flow valve assembly and a low flow valve assembly are in parallel flow relation between an inlet and an outlet of a flush controller housing. The valve assemblies are opened by solenoid operated pilot valves under the control of a microprocessor based flush control system. A turbine directly measures flow through the low flow valve assembly and the control system computes flow through the high flow valve assembly to perform a flushing operation including an initial siphon trap flushing high flow portion and a subsequent trap reseal low flow portion. A push button is pressed to one of two override positions either to provide a signal to the control system for a normal flush operation or to open the high flow valve assembly independently of the control system for an emergency flush operation. A user detection system includes a pair of emitters and a pair of detectors defining an array of intersecting detection points in a skewed plane in which the control system can locate the position of a user.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2001Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventor: Dwight N.

Patent number: 6442771Abstract: The invention relates to a flushing device comprising a bowl (4) having a flushing module (5) which is arranged in the area of the bowl (4) designed to receive excreta. The flushing module (5) at an upper end has a first receiving area (12) for receiving flushing water (38) and excreta (74) as well as means with which said receiving area (12) can be emptied into a chamber (80) situated underneath it.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2001Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventor: Markus Meier

Patent number: 6415457Abstract: The flushing device comprises a flush bowl (1) comprising an odor trap (8) on a bottom part (7) and comprises a flushing conduit (2) with flushing openings (14, 15, 16) on an upper edge (3). Flushing openings (14) in a frontal area (13) of the flushing conduit (2) have a greater throughput than laterally arranged flushing openings (15, 16) do. The flushing openings (4) in said frontal area (13) are arranged in an asymmetric manner and the flushing water (17) forms a flushing vortex (17c) in the bowl (11). The flushing device makes it possible to effectively flush with less flushing water.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventor: Peter Schmucki

Patent number: 6405411Abstract: The clasp comprises a coupling element with which the cheek plate elements adjacent to a closed position and comprising a coupling bolt for a closing device can be provisionally connected. The coupling element is a bracket which is mounted at its one end so that it can pivot on the coupling bolt of the one cheek plate element and which can be connected by its other end to the other cheek plate element in such a manner that this other end is movably mounted in the coupled position on the other cheek plate element.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2000Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Rudolf Allemann, Silvio Marti

Patent number: 6367095Abstract: A flushing device has two water outlets, wherein one outlet is connected to an arch of a trap of the toilet bowl. This outlet is connected to means with which a portion of the flushing water present in a flushing tank can be pressurized and released to this outlet. The water is briefly set into motion with the pressurized flushing water, and more effective emptying of the trap is achieved. The flushing device according to the present invention represents a lower load for the water pipes and operates with less noise than flushing valve-type devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2001Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Alex Hubatka, Thomas Riehm, Paul Wey

Publication number: 20020000246Abstract: The suction-type siphon has a channel which runs from an inlet opening to an outlet opening and has a bend for receiving sealing water. After the said bend, as seen in the direction of flow, the channel has a depression causing the formation of a sump which constricts the channel for the passage of air. The constriction by means of the sump makes filling possible with little water, but does not impede the passage of solid objects. A urinal having the suction-type siphon according to the invention can be flushed with little flushing water, for example, less than one liter of water.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2001Publication date: January 3, 2002Applicant: GEBERIT TECHNIK AGInventor: Maarten Rost
