  • Patent number: 8327472
    Abstract: The flushing arrangement has a toilet bowl (2) which has an inlet (3) and an outlet (21) and, between these, means (8, 20) for generating a pulse. By means of the pulse, water (13) which is present in a U-bend (4) and forms a stench trap can be accelerated, for a flushing operation, in the direction of the outlet (21). Said means (8, 20) are arranged in the descending region of the toilet bowl (2) and, during flushing, generate a downwardly directed flow cone (14, 14?). The flow narrows downwardly and at a saddle point (26) forms a wall jet (28) which cleans the U-bend (4) particularly thoroughly.
