Abstract
The flushing device comprises a flush bowl (1) comprising an odor trap (8) on a bottom part (7) and comprises a flushing conduit (2) with flushing openings (14, 15, 16) on an upper edge (3). Flushing openings (14) in a frontal area (13) of the flushing conduit (2) have a greater throughput than laterally arranged flushing openings (15, 16) do. The flushing openings (4) in said frontal area (13) are arranged in an asymmetric manner and the flushing water (17) forms a flushing vortex (17c) in the bowl (11). The flushing device makes it possible to effectively flush with less flushing water.
Claims21
A flushing device for a toilet system with a flush bowl comprising:
- an odor trap on a bottom part and
- a substantially unconstricted flushing conduit with flushing openings on an upper edge
- through which flushing openings, flushing water can be introduced for flushing the bowl,
- characterized in that
- three or more of the flushing openings in a frontal area of the flushing conduit are directed such that flow from each of these three or more flushing openings is directed substantially toward a first point,
- at least one other of the flushing openings is directed to a second point that differs from the first point, thereby forming a flushing vortex in the bowl, and
- the flow from at least one of the three or more of the flushing openings is in a direction that opposes the flushing vortex.
A flushing device far a toilet system with a flush bowl comprising:
- an odor trap on a bottom part and
- a flushing conduit with flushing openings on an upper edge
- through which flushing openings, flushing water can be introduced for flushing the bowl
- which flushing openings have a greater flowthrough in a frontal area of the flushing conduit than laterally arranged flushing openings do,
- characterized in that
- three or more of the flushing openings in the frontal area are directed such that flow from these openings is substantially toward a first point,
- at least one other of the flushing openings is directed to a second point that differs from the first point, thereby forming a flushing vortex in the bowl, and
- the flow from at least one of the three or more of the flushing openings is in a direction that opposes the flushing vortex.
The flushing device of claim 19 wherein
- the three or more of the flushing openings that are directed toward the first point are symmetrically arranged in the frontal area of the flushing conduit.
