  • Patent number: 9695582
    Abstract: A drainage fitting (1) for a cistern, including a valve body (2) with a sealing element (4), which cooperates with a valve seat (3), and a float (5), wherein the valve body (2) is movable with the sealing element (4) from the valve seat (3) along a movement axis (B) from a rest position into a flushing position and from the flushing position into the rest position. Furthermore the drainage fitting comprises a full and a part volume control unit which onto the valve body.

  • Patent number: 7996927
    Abstract: The discharge valve has a valve housing (14) which has an outlet opening with a valve seat (16) and also a closure body (12). A two-quantity actuator (4) has a connecting rod (10) which is connected to the closure body (12) and by means of which the closure body (12) can optionally be raised by different displacement distances. A top activatable partial-quantity float (13) is provided for partial flushing and a bottom, full-quantity float (20), which is mounted in a pivotable manner on the valve housing (14), is provided for full flushing. The full-quantity float (20) has a blocking element (22) which, once partial flushing has been triggered, engages with the closure body (12) and blocks the latter against further displacement. This prevents the situation where, once partial flushing has been triggered, the closure body (12) is raised further and full flushing takes place.

  • Publication number: 20080289091
    Abstract: The actuating device comprises a push button housing (7), which may be inserted into an opening (4) in the cistern lid (2). At least one push button (8, 9) and a pusher (11) are mounted in the push button housing (7) for triggering flushing. The push button housing (7) is fastened only to the cistern lid (2) and may be lifted with the cistern lid (2) off the at least one push button (8, 9) and the pusher (11). The actuating device is particularly suitable for cisterns of ceramic material and enables simpler and quicker mounting as well as servicing of the cistern.

  • Patent number: 6035589
    Abstract: The framework has at least one vertical support column (3), into which a telescopically height-adjustable foot (4) connected to the support column (3) is inserted. An approximate presetting and subsequently a fine height adjustment are possible by means of a height-adjustable adjusting member (15), which is self-supporting at the foot (4).
