  • Patent number: 7653951
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7272864
    Abstract: The flushing flow distributor has a first channel (21) which is to be connected to a discharge (45) of the flushing cistern (4), and a second and a third channel (24, 25, 69). The second channel (24) and the third channel (25) are in each case to be connected to a toilet bowl (10). The first channel (21) has a nozzle (17, 18, 19, 55, 62) which outputs the water to the two other channels (24, 25, 69). The nozzle (17, 18, 19, 55, 62) is preferably designed as a free jet nozzle. The flushing flow distributor is preferably designed as a pipe interrupter. It is preferably used on a pressurized flushing cistern (4) and permits flushing with less flushing water while at the same time requiring less space and with a flushing action which is at least ample.

  • Publication number: 20050268391
    Abstract: The lavatory bowl for a WC has a body (3) made from ceramic or a similar material. A flushing channel (4a) has a connection piece (27) for connection of a flushing water pipe (12). A connection part (10), to which a flushing pipe (12) can be connected, is inserted into a rear recess (9) of the body (3). The connection part (10) has two extension parts (20, 23), which can be cut to length and can be pushed into a flushing pipe end (12a) or onto a pipe connection end (24). The lavatory bowl allows mounting by blind-plug connection.

  • Publication number: 20050251904
    Abstract: 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. Flushing water can be conserved by the fact that the flushing process can be interrupted.
