Description
DISPOSITIVO ELEVADOR DEL ASIENTO DEL INODORO. TOILET SEAT LIFTING DEVICE.
Objeto de Ia invenciónObject of the invention
El objeto de Ia presente invención es proporcionar un dispositivo elevador del asiento del inodoro, diseñado para mantener el asiento del inodoro arriba, para que suba instantáneamente cuando el usuario Io baje y luego Io libere o Io suelte, de tal forma que el asiento del inodoro permanece siempre arriba y limpio. También es un objeto de Ia presente invención proporcionar un dispositivo elevador del asiento del inodoro que suba instantáneamente el asiento del inodoro cuando el usuario levante Ia tapa del asiento. Así entonces, el presente modelo de utilidad levanta siempre el asiento del inodoro cuando se levanta Ia tapa del mismo sin perjuicio de que el asiento permanezca abajo mientras Ia tapa del asiento del inodoro está arriba. También es un objeto del presente modelo de utilidad incorporar un sistema de amortiguación del movimiento del asiento así como también una carcaza removible que cubra el resorte de torsión.The object of the present invention is to provide a toilet seat lifting device, designed to keep the toilet seat up, so that it rises instantly when the user lowers and then releases or releases it, so that the toilet seat Always stay up and clean. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a toilet seat lifting device that instantly raises the toilet seat when the user lifts the seat cover. Thus, the present utility model always lifts the toilet seat when the lid of the toilet is lifted without prejudice to the fact that the seat remains below while the toilet seat lid is above. It is also an object of the present utility model to incorporate a system for cushioning the movement of the seat as well as a removable housing that covers the torsion spring.
Antecedentes de Ia invenciónBackground of the invention
Una deficiencia higiénica existente en el uso de inodoros es Ia incomodidad que representa para el usuario, al momento de usar un baño, el encontrar el asiento del inodoro con trazas de orina porque el mismo no se levanta cuando el usuario levanta Ia tapa del inodoro.A hygienic deficiency in the use of toilets is the discomfort that represents for the user, when using a bathroom, finding the toilet seat with traces of urine because it does not rise when the user lifts the toilet lid.
Ante dicha deficiencia de los inodoros existentes se han desarrollado dispositivos que permitan solucionar el problema, tales como el modelo de utilidad ES 1 034212U que se refiere a un dispositivo de basculamiento del asiento de Ia taza del inodoro por medio de un sistema de resortes de tensión, en el cual uno de ellos ejerce fuerza sobre un basculante que hace levantar el asiento por medio de dos platinas en forma de pinza que sujetan el asiento. El otro resorte de tensión actúa como amortiguador para que el asiento no golpee con fuerza Ia parte posterior del inodoro cuando se suba. Los resortes van acoplados por fuera de Ia taza del inodoro, a un lado. Sin embargo, este modelo de utilidad puede presentar problemas de durabilidad y por Io tanto de funcionalidad, así como de alto costo en su fabricación, puesto que el sistema de resortes de tensión, tuercas, tornillos, platinas y pinzas deberían, por razones de higiene y durabilidad, estar fabricados en materiales anticorrosivos e inoxidables, y estar acoplados en su mayoría a Ia tasa del inodoro por fuera de Ia misma, y encapsulados en un cuerpo también anticorrosivo e inoxidable, Io que elevaría el costo de su fabricación. Además de esto, se pueden presentar posibles problemas para su instalación en lugares demasiado reducidos y quedaría en todos los casos expuesto para que Ia gente Io dañe por el mismo hecho de estar gran parte de su mecanismo acoplado por fuera de Ia taza del inodoro.Faced with said deficiency of existing toilets, devices have been developed to solve the problem, such as utility model ES 1 034212U which refers to a tilting device for the seat of the toilet bowl by means of a tension spring system , in which one of them exerts force on a swingarm that causes the seat to be lifted by means of two clamp-shaped plates that hold the seat. The other tension spring acts as a shock absorber so that the seat does not hit the back of the toilet with force when it is raised. The springs are coupled outside the toilet bowl, to the side. However, this utility model can present problems of durability and therefore of functionality, as well as high cost in its manufacture, since the system of tension springs, nuts, screws, plates and clamps should, for reasons of hygiene and durability, be made of anticorrosive and stainless materials, and be mostly coupled to the rate of the toilet outside it, and encapsulated in a body also anticorrosive and stainless, which would raise the cost of its manufacture. In addition to this, possible problems can be presented for installation in places that are too small and in all cases it would be exposed so that people could damage it by the same fact of being a large part of its mechanism coupled outside the toilet bowl.
El dispositivo aquí reivindicado presenta varias mejoras frente dicho modelo de utilidad descrito anteriormente pues, a diferencia del modelo de utilidad ES 1 034212U el dispositivo del presente modelo de utilidad no está instalado al exterior del conjunto inodoro-tapa sino en Ia parte posterior e inmediatamente debajo del asiento del inodoro y, Ia fuerza que levanta el asiento del inodoro es ejercida por un resorte de torsión que hace girar un eje, que a su vez hace girar una palanca o extensión del resorte de torsión hacia atrás, levantando el asiento del inodoro por debajo.The device claimed here presents several improvements against said utility model described above because, unlike the utility model ES 1 034212U the device of the present utility model is not installed outside the toilet-lid assembly but in the back and immediately below of the toilet seat and, the force that raises the toilet seat is exerted by a torsion spring that rotates an axis, which in turn rotates a lever or extension of the torsion spring backwards, lifting the toilet seat by below.
Así mismo, el dispositivo de Ia presente invención es ventajoso sobre ES 1 034212 U por cuanto en una modalidad preferida éste involucra un pin de bloqueo removible que permite graduar Ia tensión del resorte de tal manera que el dispositivo funcionará con independencia y será ajustable al peso de Ia tapa y del asiento del inodoro para que el dispositivo levante el asiento más no Ia tapa. Adicionalmente, el dispositivo aquí reivindicado cuenta con un sistema de amortiguación por medio de resortes, resortes con pin de amortiguación o platinas que impiden que Ia tapa del asiento se golpee bruscamente cuando éste es elevado. En esta modalidad preferida, el presente dispositivo proporciona una ventaja funcional adicional sobre los modelos de utilidad existentes en el estado del arte pues su incorporación en el conjunto inodoro-asiento no impide que el mismo permanezca cerrado si así Io desea el usuario.Likewise, the device of the present invention is advantageous over ES 1 034212 U, since in a preferred embodiment it involves a removable locking pin that allows the tension of the spring to be adjusted so that the device will operate independently and will be adjustable to the weight of the lid and the toilet seat so that the device lifts the seat but not the lid. Additionally, the device claimed herein has a damping system by means of springs, springs with damping pin or plates that prevent the seat cover from hitting abruptly when it is raised. In this preferred embodiment, the present device provides an additional functional advantage over the utility models existing in the state of the art since its incorporation in the toilet-seat assembly does not prevent it from being closed if the user so wishes.
