Abstract
A toilet seat (1) with an automatic cleaning device (10), the toilet seat (1) including: a first assembly (2) with a mounting panel (7) that can be secured to a rear section of a lavatory body (8); and a second assembly (3) which includes a lavatory seat ring (9) able to be driven in the peripheral direction, a bearing frame (29) for the lavatory seat ring (9), a drive device (26) for the lavatory seat ring (9), secured to the bearing frame (29), and a cleaning device (10) for the lavatory seat ring (9), likewise secured to said bearing frame (29). The first and second assembly (3) are pivotally interconnected by means of hinge joints (4).
Claims22
A toilet seat comprising:
- a first assembly having a mounting panel, said mounting panel being securable to a rear section of a lavatory body;
- and
- a second assembly, which comprises
- a lavatory seat ring,
- a bearing frame for rotatably supporting the lavatory seat ring, and
- an automatic cleaning device for cleaning the lavatory seat ring, said automatic cleaning device also being secured to the bearing frame;
- wherein the first assembly and the second assembly are pivotably connected to one another by hinge joints,
- wherein the hinge joints have a common axis of rotation,
- wherein the automatic cleaning device comprises a cleaning arm, which is pivotable about a pivot axis,
- wherein the cleaning arm has a longitudinal axis, which is perpendicular to the pivot axis, and
- wherein the cleaning arm is movable from an idle position, in which the longitudinal axis is parallel to the common axis of rotation of the hinge joints and the lavatory seat ring is not rotating on the bearing frame, into a cleaning position, in which the longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the common axis of rotation of the hinge joints and the lavatory seat ring is rotating on the bearing frame.
A toilet seat comprising a first assembly and a second assembly, which are pivotably connected by hinge joints, the second assembly having a lavatory seat ring which is rotatably spinable and driven by a drive device including a toothed belt and electric motor, and an automatic cleaning device which includes a cleaning arm pivotable about a vertical axis between an idle position in which a longitudinal axis of the cleaning arm is parallel to a common axis of rotation of the hinge joints and a cleaning position in which the longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the common axis of rotation of the hinge joints.
A toilet seat comprising:
- a first assembly having a mounting panel that is securable to a rear section of
- a lavatory body;
- and
- a second assembly having
- a lavatory seat ring including a seat portion for supporting a user in a seated position, and
- a bearing frame for rotatably supporting the lavatory seat ring,
- wherein the first assembly and the second assembly are pivotably connected by hinge joints having a common axis of rotation, and
- wherein the second assembly further comprises an automatic cleaning device which includes a cleaning arm pivotable between:
- an idle position in which a longitudinal axis of the cleaning arm does not span across the seat portion of the lavatory seat ring and the lavatory seat ring is not rotating on the bearing frame, and
- a cleaning position in which the longitudinal axis of the cleaning arm spans across the seat portion of the lavatory seat ring joints and the lavatory seat ring is rotating on the bearing frame.
