Title:
DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE FILLING OF A CISTERN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/207365
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
An improved method and device for a cistern. The present invention concerns a device for controlling the filling of a cistern in a main reservoir of a toilet flushing system, in which the water inlet is controlled by a valve (1) of which the closing is controlled by float (2) that is movable from a high position to a low position, and inversely, said float being contained in a float housing (4) and closing said valve (1) when the float housing (4) is full in the high position, and opening same when the float housing (4) is empty in the low position, said float housing (4) being connected to the main reservoir by at least one siphon comprising two tubes, a suction tube (6) linked to the float housing (4), and a discharge tube (7) linked to the main reservoir and opening into an auxiliary reservoir (9) that opens into the volume of said main reservoir, the two tubes (6, 7) being linked together at the top end of same by a passage (5) located above the maximum filling level of said float housing (4), said device being characterised in that it comprises a control mechanism (13) provided with means for priming said siphon that are designed to be movable from an initial position to an actuated position, and inversely, the shift from said initial position to said actuated position resulting in overpressure at said tubes (6, 7) followed by underpressure, whereas the shift from the actuated position to the initial position results in underpressure, such that successively, said overpressure and said underpressure result in the overflowing of said auxiliary reservoir, the flow of water from the suction tube (6) to the discharge tube (7) by siphoning, and thus the draining of the float housing (4).
