Description
f_ Ensemble de W-C. f_ Set of W-C.
._> La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de W-C.._> The present invention relates to a set of W-Cs.
Dans les cabinets de toilette mis à la disposition du public, la propreté des lunettes de W-C est un problème majeur qui n'a pas encore été résolu d'une manière totalement satisfaisante. 5 En particulier, dans les hôtels, restaurants, gares, aéroports et autres, on trouve des toilettes à usage collectif dont l'hygiène est difficile à assurer par le seul personnel d'entretien.In the toilets made available to the public, the cleanliness of W-C glasses is a major problem which has not yet been resolved in a completely satisfactory manner. 5 In particular, in hotels, restaurants, stations, airports and others, there are toilets for collective use, the hygiene of which is difficult to ensure by the only maintenance personnel.
On connait déjà une lunette du type interchangeable qui se fixe de façon amovible sur une cuvette de toilette et qui est facilement 10 remplaçable.There is already known an interchangeable type of bezel which is removably attached to a toilet bowl and which is easily replaceable.
Cependant, cette solution n'est pas adaptée à un usage collectif en raison des nombreuses manipulations qu'elle implique.However, this solution is not suitable for collective use because of the many manipulations it involves.
D'autres dispositifs sont connus dans lesquels la lunette de toilette est automatiquement basculée après usage dans une armoire de 15 lavage, tandis que les matières sont évacuées de la cuvette par le système de chasse traditionnel.Other devices are known in which the toilet seat is automatically tilted after use in a washing cabinet, while the materials are removed from the bowl by the traditional flushing system.
Un perfectionnement connu a été apporté à ce dispositif en multipliant le nombre de lunettes de manière que l'une d'entre elles soit toujours disponible pendant que les autres sont en cours de lavage ou de 20 séchage.A known improvement has been made to this device by increasing the number of glasses so that one of them is always available while the others are being washed or dried.
Cette technique n'est toutefois pas satisfaisante du fait que seule la lunette est correctement nettoyée.However, this technique is not satisfactory since only the telescope is properly cleaned.
La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de W-C caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte en combinaison une cuvette ; une lunette munie 25 d'une jupe sur son périmètre intérieur ; une armoire de lavage située au voisinage de la cuvette et comportant une porte etanche, par exemple à glissières, dont l'ouverture permet le passage de la lunette; l'armoire comportant en outre un dispositif de lavage tel qu'un serpentin percé de trous alimenté en eau sous pression ; ladite lunette étant assujettie à un 30 axe de rotation horizontal pour pouvoir basculer entre une position_dans laquelle elle repose sur la cuvette, sa jupe recouvrant la partie supérieure de la paroi intérieure de la cuvette, et une position dans laquelle elle est contenue dans l'armoire de lavage pour y être lavée par le dispositif de f lavage, la porte de l'armoire de lavage étant fermée dans chacune de cesThe present invention relates to a set of W-C characterized in that it comprises in combination a bowl; a bezel provided with a skirt on its internal perimeter; a washing cabinet located in the vicinity of the bowl and comprising a watertight door, for example with slides, the opening of which allows the passage of the window; the cabinet further comprising a washing device such as a coil pierced with holes supplied with pressurized water; said bezel being subject to a horizontal axis of rotation in order to be able to switch between a position_in which it rests on the bowl, its skirt covering the upper part of the inner wall of the bowl, and a position in which it is contained in the cabinet to be washed there by the washing device, the door of the washing cabinet being closed in each of these
35 deux positions.
Selon l'invention, il est avantageux de prévoir une chasse d'eau pour éliminer les matières après utilisation.35 two positions. According to the invention, it is advantageous to provide a flush to remove the materials after use.
Le réservoir d'eau de cette chasse peut être le même que celui de toilettes traditionnelles, à condition qu'il ne gêne pas le basculement de la lunette entre ses deux positions.The water tank of this flush can be the same as that of traditional toilets, provided that it does not hinder the tilting of the telescope between its two positions.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, ce réservoir est logé en haut de l'armoire de lavage.According to a particular embodiment, this tank is housed at the top of the washing cabinet.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la jupe de la lunette débouche sur la partie avant inclinée de la paroi intérieure de la cuvette, dont le siphon est ainsi masqué pour l'utilisateur.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the skirt of the window opens onto the inclined front part of the inner wall of the bowl, the siphon of which is thus hidden from the user.
Une telle configuration de la jupe présente le-double avantage, d'une part de cacher le siphon qui constitue, dans les toilettes traditionnelles, un endroit généralement difficile à nettoyer en raison de la quantité d'eau qui y stagne en permanence, et d'autre part de diriger les matières vers une surface d'où elles sont plus facilement éliminées.Such a configuration of the skirt has the double advantage, on the one hand of hiding the siphon which constitutes, in traditional toilets, a place generally difficult to clean because of the quantity of water which stagnates there permanently, and d on the other hand to direct the materials towards a surface from where they are more easily eliminated.
Dans une première variante de ce mode de réalisation, il est prévu un dispositif de projection d'eau supplémentaire qui agit vers le bas tangentiellement à ladite paroi inclinée de la cuvette, dans la région où les matières sont déposées. Selon une deuxième variante de ce mode de réalisation, un dispositif provoque l'écoulement d'un film d'eau le long de la paroi intérieure de la cuvette tant qu'un utilisateur est assis sur la lunette.In a first variant of this embodiment, an additional water spraying device is provided which acts downwards tangentially to said inclined wall of the bowl, in the region where the materials are deposited. According to a second variant of this embodiment, a device causes the flow of a film of water along the interior wall of the bowl as long as a user is seated on the seat.
A cet effet, un capteur détecte la pression exercée sur la lunette par le poids de la personne et provoque l'écoulement de l'eau. Selon une troisième variante, des moyens pulvérisent, entre deux utilisations, un produit anti-adhérent sur la paroi intérieure de la cuvette pour faciliter son nettoyage ultérieur.For this purpose, a sensor detects the pressure exerted on the telescope by the weight of the person and causes the flow of water. According to a third variant, means spray, between two uses, a non-stick product on the inner wall of the bowl to facilitate its subsequent cleaning.
Ces trois variantes peuvent être combinées entre elles.These three variants can be combined with one another.
Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'ensemble de W-C comporte des organes d'actionnement de chacun de ses éléments comme la chasse d'eau, la lunette, la porte, ou le dispositif de lavage, et un organe de synchronisation tel qu'un microprocesseur qui les met en action suivant un ordre prédéterminé.In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the WC assembly comprises actuating members for each of its elements such as the flush, the window, the door, or the washing device, and a retaining member. synchronization such as a microprocessor which activates them according to a predetermined order.
Selon ce mode de réalisation, le fonctionnement de l'ensemble de W-C décrit un cycle de lavage qui est déclenché par l'utilisateur par simple pression sur un bouton de mise en route, après utilisation des W-C.
- 3 -According to this embodiment, the operation of the WC assembly describes a washing cycle which is triggered by the user by simple pressing of a start button, after using the WC. - 3 -
Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, des moyens de séchage fon circuler de l'air chaud autour de la lunette après son lavage quand celle-c est encore à l'intérieur de l'armoire.In the preferred embodiment, drying means fon circulate hot air around the bezel after washing it when it is still inside the cabinet.
Conformément à l'invention, la lunette est avantageusemen réalisée au moins partiellement en un matériau non mouillant tel que du PTF ou du polyéthylène. Dans ce cas, le séchage de la lunette est inutile o largement facilité, du fait que l'eau n'y adhère pas.According to the invention, the telescope is advantageously made at least partially from a non-wetting material such as PTF or polyethylene. In this case, the drying of the telescope is unnecessary or largely facilitated, because the water does not adhere to it.
Il peut alors suffire de souffler de l'air à température ambiant sur la lunette pour en chasser les traces d'eau qui peuvent y demeurer e sécher ainsi la lunette.It may then be sufficient to blow air at ambient temperature on the telescope to remove traces of water which may remain there and thus dry the telescope.
Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va e décrire maintenant un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titr d'exemple et sans aucun caractère limitatif en référence au dessin annex dans lequel : - la figure 1 est une vue de face d'un ensemble de W-C selon u mode de réalisation de l'invention,In order to better understand the invention, e will now describe a particular embodiment given by way of example and without any limiting character with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: - Figure 1 is a front view of '' a set of WCs according to an embodiment of the invention,

- la figure 5 représente un autre mode de réalisation de l lunette selon l'invention, etFIG. 5 represents another embodiment of the telescope according to the invention, and
- la figure 6 représente εchématiquement une cuvette suspendue utilisable selon l'invention.- Figure 6 shows schematically a suspended bowl usable according to the invention.
On voit sur les figures 1 à . , un ensemble de W-C comportant une cuvette 1 munie d'une lunette 2 ainsi qu'une armoire 3 de lavage.We see in Figures 1 to. , a set of W-C comprising a bowl 1 provided with a bezel 2 and a cabinet 3 for washing.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la lunette 2 peut bascule entre une position horizontale dans laquelle elle repose sur la cuvette 1, comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, et une position verticale dans laquelle elle est entièrement contenue dans l'armoire 3, ainsi que représenté sur la figure 3.In the embodiment shown, the bezel 2 can switch between a horizontal position in which it rests on the bowl 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and a vertical position in which it is entirely contained in the cabinet 3, as shown in Figure 3.
Conformément à l'invention, la lunette 2 comporte une jupe . sur son périmètre intérieur. Dans la position horizontale de la lunette 2, la jupe . recouvre la partie supérieure de la paroi intérieure 5 de la cuvette 1.
- _ -According to the invention, the bezel 2 includes a skirt. on its interior perimeter. In the horizontal position of the telescope 2, the skirt. covers the upper part of the inner wall 5 of the bowl 1. - _ -
Dans sa position verticale, la lunette 2 et sa jupe . sont entièrement contenues dans l'armoire 3.In its vertical position, the bezel 2 and its skirt. are completely contained in the cabinet 3.
Un axe horizontal 6 contenu dans l'armoire 3 permet le basculement de la lunette 2 entre les deux positions précitées. Un bras coudé 7 relie la lunette 2 à son axe de pivotement 6.A horizontal axis 6 contained in the cabinet 3 allows tilting of the bezel 2 between the two aforementioned positions. A bent arm 7 connects the telescope 2 to its pivot axis 6.
La forme coudée de ce bras.7, qui implique la position basse de l'axe 6, en dessous du plan de la lunette 2 en position horizontale, permet d'amener la lunette 2 et sa jupe . à l'intérieur de l'armoire 3 dans une position d'encombrement minimal. En effet, la distance entre l'axe 6 et la plan contenant la lunette en position horizontale, qui correspond à la longueur de la branche 7∑ι du bras 7, est choisie de telle sorte que la lunette 2 et la jupe . , basculées dans l'armoire 3, se trouvent en position verticale le plus près possible de la paroi arrière 3a_ de l'armoire 3. Une porte 8 de l'armoire 3 coulisse dans des glissières 9 pour s'ouvrir ou se fermer en permettant le passage de la lunette 2 lors de son basculement.The angled shape of this arm. 7, which implies the low position of the axis 6, below the plane of the telescope 2 in a horizontal position, makes it possible to bring the telescope 2 and its skirt. inside the cabinet 3 in a position of minimal bulk. Indeed, the distance between the axis 6 and the plane containing the telescope in a horizontal position, which corresponds to the length of the branch 7∑ι of the arm 7, is chosen so that the telescope 2 and the skirt. , tilted in the cabinet 3, are in the vertical position as close as possible to the rear wall 3a_ of the cabinet 3. A door 8 of the cabinet 3 slides in slides 9 to open or close allowing the passage of the telescope 2 during its tilting.

The shape of the coil 13 is such that when the window 2 is tilted in its position vertical, many jets of water wash the interior and exterior walls of the telescope 2 and its skirt.
L'armoire 3 comporte également un dispositif de séchage constitué, dans le mode de réalisation décrit, par un ventilateur soufflant 16 qui projette de l'air, éventuellement chaud, sur la lunette, et par un conduitThe cabinet 3 also comprises a drying device constituted, in the embodiment described, by a blowing fan 16 which projects air, possibly hot, onto the window, and by a duct
17 qui évacue l'air vers le conduit d'aération du local ou se trouve le
dispositif selon l'invention. Ainsi, le dispositif de séchage fait circule de l'air éventuellement chaud autour de la lunette basculée dans l'armoire.17 which evacuates the air to the ventilation duct of the room where the device according to the invention. Thus, the drying device circulates possibly hot air around the bezel tilted in the cabinet.
Le bas de l'armoire 3 comporte un plancher incliné 18 qu recueille l'eau de lavage et l'envoie au travers d'un siphon 20 dans l conduit principal 19 qui aboutit aux égouts.The bottom of the cabinet 3 has an inclined floor 18 which collects the washing water and sends it through a siphon 20 into the main conduit 19 which leads to the sewers.
Toutefois l'évacuation des eaux usées de l'armoire peut débouche dans tout autre conduit classique prévu pour l'évacuation des eaux usées.However, the evacuation of waste water from the cabinet can lead into any other conventional conduit provided for the evacuation of waste water.
Après utilisation des W-C, l'utilisateur appuie sur un bouton 2 disposé sur la face avant de l'armoire 3, la porte 8 étant fermée, et l lunette 2 reposant sur la cuvette 1.After using the W-Cs, the user presses a button 2 located on the front of the cabinet 3, the door 8 being closed, and the bezel 2 resting on the bowl 1.
Un organe de synchronisation tel qu'un microprocesseur, no représenté, est électriquement relié à chacun des organes d'actionnement e exécute le cycle décrit ci-après.A synchronization member such as a microprocessor, not shown, is electrically connected to each of the actuating members and executes the cycle described below.
Au cours d'une première étape, un moteur 22, fixé sur une paro latérale de l'armoire 3 au dessus de la porte 8 réalise l'ouverture d celle-ci en enroulant sur une poulie un câble 23 attaché à la porte 8.During a first step, a motor 22 fixed on a side wall of the cabinet 3 above the door 8 opens the latter by winding a cable 23 attached to the door 8 on a pulley.
La porte 8 coulisse vers le haut dans ses glissières 9 pou laisser libre un passage permettant le basculement de la lunette 2 sou l'action d'un moteur 2. qui, par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie 25, entraîn une roue 26 solidaire du bras coudé 7.The door 8 slides upwards in its slides 9 to allow free passage allowing the tilting of the telescope 2 under the action of a motor 2. which, by means of a belt 25, drives a wheel 26 secured of the bent arm 7.
Le moteur 22 déroule ensuite le câble 23 et la porte 8 se referme coulissant vers le bas dans ses glissières 9 sous l'effet de son propr poids.The motor 22 then unwinds the cable 23 and the door 8 closes sliding down in its slides 9 under the effect of its own weight.
Une fois la porte fermée de façon etanche, commence le lavage d la lunette.Once the door has been sealed, washing of the window begins.
La pompe 12 envoie de l'eau sous pression dans le serpentin 13, c qui provoque le lavage de la lunette 2 et de sa jupe .. L'eau usée es évacuée comme indiqué ci-dessus.The pump 12 sends pressurized water to the coil 13, c which causes the washing of the telescope 2 and of its skirt. The used water is discharged as indicated above.
Dans une variante, un dispositif mélange à l'eau de lavage a moins pendant une partie du cycle de lavage un détergent ou un produi lavant et/ou désinfectant provenant d'un récipient 27.In a variant, a device mixes with the washing water at least during part of the washing cycle a detergent or a washing and / or disinfecting product coming from a container 27.
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, un doseur 28 règl l'écoulement du détergent et le cycle de lavage est décomposé en troi étapes : un prélavage à l'eau pure, un lavage avec un mélange d'eau et d détergent et un rinçage à l'eau pure.In the embodiment described, a dispenser 28 regulates the flow of the detergent and the washing cycle is broken down into three stages: prewash with pure water, washing with a mixture of water and detergent and rinsing with pure water.
Le lavage terminé, le ventilateur soufflant 16 envoie de l'air su la lunette 2 et le conduit d'aspiration 17 évacue l'air vers l'extérieur.
A la fin du séchage, le moteur 22 ouvre à nouveau la porte 8 et l moteur 2. bascule la lunette 2, en position horizontale, puis le moteur 2 referme la porte.When the washing is finished, the blowing fan 16 sends air to the bezel 2 and the suction duct 17 evacuates the air to the outside. At the end of drying, the motor 22 opens the door 8 again and the motor 2. switches the bezel 2 to the horizontal position, then the motor 2 closes the door.
On voit que l'ensemble de W-C décrit ici fonctionne suivant u cycle de lavage qui est déclenché par l'utilisateur, ce cycle comportant a moins les étapes suivantes : envoi du contenu du réservoir d'eau 10 dans l cuvette; ouverture de la porte 8; basculement de la lunette 2 à l'intérieu de l'armoire 3; fermeture de la porte 8; lavage de la lunette 2; ouvertur de la porte 8; basculement de la lunette 2 dans la position dans laquell elle repose sur la cuvette 1; et fermeture de la porte.It can be seen that the assembly of W-C described here operates according to a washing cycle which is triggered by the user, this cycle comprising at least the following steps: sending the contents of the water tank 10 to the bowl; door 8 opens; tilting of the window 2 inside the cabinet 3; door 8 closed; washing of glasses 2; door 8; tilting of the bezel 2 in the position in which it rests on the bowl 1; and closing the door.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la cuvette 1 présente u siphon à sortie horizontale, ce qui facilite la récupération des eaux usée de l'armoire de lavage 3 et leur envoi vers l'égout.In the embodiment shown, the bowl 1 has a siphon with a horizontal outlet, which facilitates the recovery of the waste water from the washing cabinet 3 and its sending to the sewer.
Sur la figure 5, on a schématiquement représenté une cuvette 1 d type sans pied qui est suspendue directement à l'armoire de lavage 3.In FIG. 5, there is schematically shown a bowl 1 d of the footless type which is suspended directly from the washing cabinet 3.
Une. cuvette d'une telle forme présente l'avantage que son sipho peut être situé très en arrière et n'est donc pas visible pour l'utilisateur. En outre, l'absence de pied facilite le nettoyage de la partie d sol située sous la cuvette. La cuvette 1 représentée sur la figure 6 repose sur un pied.A. bowl of such a shape has the advantage that its sipho can be located far behind and is therefore not visible to the user. In addition, the absence of a foot makes it easier to clean the part of the floor located under the bowl. The bowl 1 shown in Figure 6 rests on a foot.
Pour masquer le siphon, une lunette 2 comporte une jupe . débouchant sur la partie avant inclinée de la paroi intérieure 5 de l cuvette 1.To hide the siphon, a window 2 has a skirt. leading to the inclined front part of the inner wall 5 of the bowl 1.
Sur cette figure, on a également représenté la partie inférieur de l'armoire de lavage 3 qui renferme le conduit vertical 11 d'amenée d'ea de chasse dans la cuvette 1.This figure also shows the lower part of the washing cabinet 3 which encloses the vertical duct 11 for supplying flushing water to the bowl 1.
A la manière connue, cette eau de chasse remplit un evidement annulaire 29 avant d'arriver à l'intérieur de la cuvette 1.In the known manner, this flushing water fills an annular recess 29 before arriving inside the bowl 1.
La cuvette 1 représentée comporte également un second evidement annulaire 30 qui ne débouche qu'en partie avant de la cuvette pour projeter de l'eau vers le bas tangentiellement à. la partie avant inclinée de la paroi 5 sur laquelle les matières sont déposées.The bowl 1 shown also has a second annular recess 30 which opens only in the front part of the bowl to project water down tangentially . the inclined front part of the wall 5 on which the materials are deposited.
Pour faciliter le lavage de cette surface, il est possible de la recouvrir entre deux utilisations d'un produit anti-adhérent. Ce produit peut être acheminé par un petit tuyau 31 qui pénètre enTo facilitate washing of this surface, it is possible to cover it between two uses of a non-stick product. This product can be conveyed by a small pipe 31 which penetrates in
32 dans le conduit vertical 11 et utilise lτevidement annulaire 29 pour déboucher en 33 au dessus de la surface à laver. A la fin de chaque cycle,
l'organe de synchronisation actionne un doseur non représenté qui envoie un faible quantité de produit anti-adhérent dans le tuyau 31 et donc sur l surface 5.32 in the vertical duct 11 and uses the annular recess 29 to result in τ 33 above the surface to be washed. At the end of each cycle, the synchronization member actuates a metering device, not shown, which sends a small quantity of non-stick product into the pipe 31 and therefore onto the surface 5.
Dans une variante, le tuyau 31 débouchant en 33 est utilisé pou faire s'écouler sur la paroi 5 un film d'eau tant qu'un utilisateur es assis sur la lunette de manière à éviter la stagnation des matières.In a variant, the pipe 31 opening at 33 is used to cause a film of water to flow on the wall 5 as long as a user is seated on the telescope so as to avoid the stagnation of the materials.
Pour détecter la présence d'une personne sur la lunette, un capteur 34, schématiquement représenté, est situé dans un pied 35 de la lunette 2. Ces dispositifs 30 et 33, qui peuvent être utilisés seuls ou en combinaison, préviennent toute salissure persistante sur la paroi intérieure 5 de la cuvette 1.To detect the presence of a person on the telescope, a sensor 34, schematically represented, is located in a foot 35 of the telescope 2. These devices 30 and 33, which can be used alone or in combination, prevent any persistent soiling on the inner wall 5 of the bowl 1.
Du fait que le siphon est en outre masqué par la jupe 4, la cuvette 1 apparaît toujours propre à l'utilisateur. La propreté de la lunette 2 et de sa jupe 4 peut, de son côté, être facilitée par un second tuyau 36 qui débouche par différents orifices 37 sur la périphérie interne supérieure de la jupe 4.Because the siphon is further masked by the skirt 4, the bowl 1 always appears specific to the user. The cleanliness of the bezel 2 and of its skirt 4 can, for its part, be facilitated by a second pipe 36 which opens out through different orifices 37 on the upper internal periphery of the skirt 4.
Ces moyens 34-37 peuvent être utilisés soit pour pulvériser entre deux utilisations un produit anti-adhérent sur la paroi intérieure de la JuPe , soit pour provoquer l'écoulement d'un film d'eau le long de la paroi intérieure de la jupe tant qu'un utilisateur est assis sur la lunette.These means 34-37 can be used either to spray between two uses a non-stick product on the inner wall of the J u P e , or to cause the flow of a film of water along the inner wall of the skirt while a user is sitting on the seat.
Selon une variante, des produits anti-adhérents sont projetés sur la lunette quand elle est encore contenue dans l'armoire de lavage après son séchage. II est bien entendu que les modes de réalisation qui ont été décrits ne présentent aucun caractère limitatif et qu'ils pourront recevoir toute modification désirable sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.According to a variant, non-stick products are sprayed onto the bezel when it is still contained in the washing cabinet after it has dried. It is understood that the embodiments which have been described have no limiting character and that they can receive any desirable modification without departing from the scope of the invention.
En particulier, le dispositif de lavage , ici constitué par une pompe et un serpentin, peut comporter un ensemble de buses assujetties aux parois intérieures de l'armoire, orientées vers la lunette et sa jupe quand celles-ci sont contenues dans l'armoire. Ainsi, le débit de chaque buse est facilement réglable, ainsi que son orientation et son mode d'aspersion, qui peut être par exemple un jet dispersé ou au contraire un jet très localisé.In particular, the washing device, here constituted by a pump and a coil, may comprise a set of nozzles secured to the interior walls of the cabinet, oriented towards the window and its skirt when these are contained in the cabinet. Thus, the flow rate of each nozzle is easily adjustable, as well as its orientation and its spraying mode, which can for example be a dispersed jet or on the contrary a very localized jet.
De même, le dispositif de séchage décrit ici n'est pas limitatif. Une projection d'air à température ambiante par tout moyen connu peut suffire pour chasser les gouttes d'eau de la lunette si elle est constituée par exemple par du polyéthylène.
Enfin, les différents dispositifs de lavage de la cuvette et de l jupe, décrits en combinaison dans les modes de réalisation représentés su le dessin, peuvent être utilisés séparément les uns des autres.Likewise, the drying device described here is not limiting. A projection of air at room temperature by any known means may be sufficient to expel the drops of water from the telescope if it is constituted, for example, by polyethylene. Finally, the various devices for washing the bowl and the skirt, described in combination in the embodiments shown in the drawing, can be used separately from each other.
En particulier, les dispositifs permettant des écoulements d films d'eau ou des projections de produits sur la cuvette ou sur la lunett peuvent fonctionner isolément ou en combinaison.
In particular, the devices allowing water films to flow or product splashes on the bowl or on the bezel can operate in isolation or in combination.
