Patent number: 7653951Abstract: A flushing device comprising an evacuation fitting (6) that is provided with a sealing member (7) within a pressurized container (2). The sealing member (7) is lifted counter to the pressure of a piston (16) in order to initiate the flushing process. A connecting device (39) for a water pipe (24) is disposed on the container (2). The flushing device further comprises a structure (49, 50) for flushing with a partial quantity of the flushing water. For example, the structure (49, 50) is provided with a power-loaded part (50) which moves the valve member (7) down onto the valve seat (5) of the evacuation fitting (6) when the flushing process is interrupted. In an alternative embodiment, two chambers are provided, only one of which is emptied during partial flushing. Flushing water can be conserved by the fact that the flushing process can be interrupted.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2003Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Albert Gübeli, Mario Von Ballmoos, Peter Schmucki, Stefan Grob

Publication number: 20050251904Abstract: Disclosed is a flushing device comprising an evacuation fitting (6) that is provided with a sealing member (7) within a pressurized container (2). The sealing member (7) is lifted counter to the pressure of a piston (16) in order to initiate the flushing process. A connecting device (39) for a water pipe (24) is disposed on the container (2). The inventive flushing device further comprises means (49, 50) for flushing with a partial quantity of the flushing water. For example, said means (49, 50) are provided with a power-loaded part (50) which moves the valve member (7) down onto the valve seat (5) of the evacuation fitting (6) when the flushing process is interrupted. In an alternative embodiment, two chambers are provided, only one of which is emptied during partial flushing.

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: 6035589Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1997Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Peter Schmucki, Silvio Marti, Alfred Mahler

Patent number: 5839867Abstract: The wall support including at least one connecting piece arranged at the mounting frame and a fastening part fixed to a free end of the connecting piece. The fastening part is to be fixed at a building wall. The connecting piece grips into an opening of a hollow profile of the mounting frame and is arranged at a pre-mountable insertion piece, disposed behind this opening in the hollow profile. The insertion piece and the connecting piece form preferably a unit, which is locked into a bore of the hollow profile.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1997Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Peter Schmucki, Silvio Marti, Alfred Mahler

Patent number: 5797572Abstract: The device has a mounting frame with a nut housing, into which a threaded rod is inserted. The threaded rod has interrupted teeth and meshes with a nut, which likewise has interrupted teeth. An adjustable carrier, with which the threaded rod can be detachably fixed at each depth of insertion, is arranged behind the nut. A time-consuming screwing in and out of the threaded rod as well as fixing with a lock nut are avoided.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Geberit Technik AGInventors: Peter Schmucki, Silvio Marti

Patent number: 5349981Abstract: The drain valve (1) has a valve tube (26) as well as an insert (37) with a float (38) in a valve housing (36). The float (38) is connected with the valve tube (26). In the bottom (49) of the insert (37) openings (39, 41a) are provided, which can be made to index by rotating a punched disk (40). For setting or resetting the flush water quantity, the punched disk (40) can be rotated by raising and turning the valve tube (26). Cogs (43) of the punched disk (40) will then engage in corresponding cutouts (45) at the lower end of the valve tube (26).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1993Date of Patent: September 27, 1994Assignee: Geberit AGInventors: Peter Schmucki, Paul Wey

Patent number: 5265282Abstract: The actuating device has a vertically displaceable trigger (9) which is mounted on a hood-shaped housing part (6a) of the drain valve (3). A lever (2), whose horizontal axis of rotation (5) is mounted on a float housing (6b), is pivoted with the trigger (9) in one or the other direction of rotation. To induce flushing, the trigger (9) is moved in the downward direction with a release knob (1) against the restoring force of a spring (24). The trigger (9) now engages a pivotable arm (9b), and the lever (2) is pivoted such that a valve tube (4) connected to the lever (2) is raised, and the valve opening (11i) is thus opened. If the release knob (1) is moved once again in the downward direction after a partial flushing, the trigger (9) will engage another pivot arm (2a), and the lever (2) will again be pivoted into the starting position, in which the outlet opening (11i) is closed.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1991Date of Patent: November 30, 1993Assignee: Geberit AGInventor: Peter Schmucki

Patent number: 5150480Abstract: The foot support (5) has an H-shaped beam (6) as well as two feet (7). The beam (6) and the feet (7) are made from metal pipes with rectangular cross section. The height of the foot support (5) is adjusted by adjusting the depth of insertion of the feet (7) into the beam (6). The feet (7) and the beam (6) have bent parts (7a and 6c) for fastening. The foot support (5) is also suitable for in-front-of-the-wall mounting and the in-the-wall mounting of the installation block. The feet (7) are inserted into the beam (6) such that its bent parts (7a) are directed toward the building wall (1) in the first case and away from the wall in the second case. The foot support (5) has a high load-bearing capacity and is particularly suitable for the installation of a wall-mounted toilet in front of a light-construction wall.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1990Date of Patent: September 29, 1992Assignee: Geberit AGInventor: Peter Schmucki
