Abstract: A device (10) for opening a toilet flushing system including a water cistern (12) supplied by a filler valve, and having a bottom discharge orifice (14) and a vertical movable discharge valve element (15) associated with this orifice (14) which is capable of occupying a low closed position for keeping the water in the cistern (12) or a high open position for discharging the water to a toilet pan, a float (18) which, when the cistern (12) is full, is submerged in order to move the valve element (15) to its open position, and a rod (22) for blocking the valve element (15) capable of being blocked or released by a magnetic valve and a finger at two emptying levels of the cistern.

Abstract: A method of detecting presence and motion for door control devices, and a door control device implementing the method. On receipt of a door opening command (24), at least a portion of at least one image captured by a digital camera of the floor area is compressed (28) and the compressed image is compared (32) with at least one active presence criterion to inhibit or not inhibit the door closure command (34).

Abstract: A device for opening a toilet flushing system, of the type that includes a water cistern fed by a filling tap, and that includes a bottom discharge orifice and a vertical mobile discharge valve element associated with this orifice, which is capable of occupying a low closed position for keeping the water in the cistern or a high open position to discharge the water to a toilet pan, and of the type that includes a float which, when the cistern is full, is submerged to push the valve element towards its open position, and of the type that includes an element for locking the valve element to keep the valve element closed, characterized in that the float is secured to the valve element and in that the locking element includes a vertically mobile locking finger which is capable of being locked or released by an associated latching element.

Abstract: A toilet flush opening device (10) includes a water cistern (12) that includes a lower discharge aperture (14) and a vertical moveable discharging open/close element (16) for this aperture (14), which is able to occupy a closed lower position to keep the water in the cistern (12) or an open upper position to discharge the water into a toilet bowl. The device is characterized in that the open/close element (16) can be urged from its lower position to its upper position by an electrohydraulic actuator (18) which includes a controlled solenoid valve (20), and an expandable hydraulic device (22) that can be supplied with water at pressure by the solenoid valve (20) to urge the open/close element (16) from its closed lower position to its open upper position.

Abstract: An electric control device (10) for a flushing system, of the type that includes an axial valve (18) whose shutter (22) is controlled by an axial rod (24) that is capable of being moved radially by a finger (26) actuated by an electric actuating device (32). The electric actuating device (32) includes at least one connecting rod (34) of which a first end (36) is articulated by a pivot (38) to the second end of the finger (26) and of which the second end (44) is articulated by a pivot (40) on an eccentric (42) moved by an electric motor (46), in order to generate a back-and-forth movement of the first end (28) of the finger (26) actuating the rod (24) of the shutter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suite of configurable products which can be configured during fitting. It also relates to a configuration tool tailored to this suite of configurable products. It relates finally to a configuration process for such products. A configuration tool (19) linked by an infrared channel (18) for communicating configuration words initially recorded in a memory (34), and selected by a keypad (23) performs the loading of the configuration words into the memory (6) of a control circuit (1) equipped with a microcontroller (2) executing a program for configuring a configurable product, such as a sanitary ware during the on-site fitting thereof. Application to a suite of sanitary ware products.
