Description

DISPOSITIVO ANTI-SALPICADURAS PARA INODOROS D E S C R I P C I Ó N ANTI-SPLASHING DEVICE FOR TOILETS D E S C R I P C I Ó N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo para evitar generar salpicaduras durante el uso de inodoros. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device to avoid generating splashes during the use of toilets.
El objeto de la invención es por tanto proporcionar un elemento modular desmontable, acoplable al borde de la taza de un inodoro que impida las clásicas salpicaduras que se originan en los actos fisiológicos, tanto de orinar como de defecar. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a removable modular element, attachable to the edge of a toilet bowl that prevents the classic splashes that originate in physiological acts, both urinating and defecating.
El dispositivo es aplicable a cualquier tipo de inodoro, actuando como un elemento elástico que frena y consecuentemente ralentiza el acceso de la orina y/o excrementos a dicho inodoro, evitando así la generación de salpicaduras. The device is applicable to any type of toilet, acting as an elastic element that slows down and consequently slows the access of urine and / or excrement to said toilet, thus avoiding the generation of splashes.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, en las acciones fisiológicas de orinar, así como de defecar en un inodoro, es relativamente frecuente que dichos residuos, ya sean líquidos o sólidos al impactar sobre el agua que contiene el sifón del inodoro, generen unas salpicaduras que pueden llegar a manchar al propio usuario, así como al propio inodoro, con la consecuente y negativa repercusión que ello supone. Tratando de obviar esta problemática, son conocidos dispositivos para evitar salpicaduras, en unos casos para evitar manchar el aro de la tapa del inodoro, como por ejemplo en el documento U200200944, relativo a una tapa anti-salpicaduras para inodoros, que consiste en una especie de tapa que se adosa a la superficie del inodoro sobre su parte superior, presentando su zona delantera un rehundido y dos zonas ergonómicas laterales a dicho rehundido, complementándose con una bisagra para la fijación de dicha tapa, todo ello al objeto de elevar el orificio de acceso al inodoro hasta una zona próxima a la de emisión de la orina en los hombres, evitando así las salpicaduras en la zona superior de la tapa. As it is known, in the physiological actions of urinating, as well as defecating in a toilet, it is relatively frequent that such waste, whether liquid or solid when hitting the water contained in the toilet siphon, generates splashes that can reach stain the user, as well as the toilet itself, with the consequent and negative impact that this implies. Trying to obviate this problem, devices are known to prevent splashing, in some cases to avoid staining the ring of the toilet lid, such as in document U200200944, relating to an anti-splash lid for toilets, which consists of a kind of cover that is attached to the surface of the toilet on its upper part, presenting a recessed front area and two lateral ergonomic areas to said recess, complementing it with a hinge for fixing said lid, all to the in order to raise the access hole to the toilet to an area close to that of urine emission in men, thus avoiding splashing in the upper area of the lid.
Esta solución es compleja, puesto que requiere de un accesorio voluminoso, que debe quitarse y ponerse cada vez que se lleva a cabo la acción de orinar, independientemente de que no soluciona el problema de las salpicaduras que se producen durante la defecación. This solution is complex, since it requires a bulky accessory, which must be removed and put on every time the urination is carried out, regardless of the fact that it does not solve the problem of splashes that occur during defecation.
En el documento US 2005241053 se describe un accesorio acoplable a inodoros que hace que se guíe la orina para descender de forma controlada y evitar la salpicadura, suponiendo una solución mucho más compleja que la anterior y difícil de aplicar. Document US 2005241053 describes an accessory that can be attached to toilets that causes urine to be guided to descend in a controlled manner and avoid splashing, assuming a solution that is much more complex than the previous one and difficult to apply.
Asimismo, en el documento US 2005014471 1 se describe un dispositivo anti-salpicaduras y desodorante para urinarios, que si bien presenta una solución sencilla y fácilmente implantable, su aplicación está limitada a urinarios de pared, por lo que resulta imposible aplicarse a inodoros convencionales, ya que está destinado exclusivamente a evitar salpicaduras de orina, la cual deja pasar a través de su cuerpo esponjoso, pero que obviamente no permitiría su uso cuando se trata de residuos sólidos. Also, document US 2005014471 1 describes an anti-splash and deodorant device for urinals, which although it presents a simple and easily implantable solution, its application is limited to wall urinals, so it is impossible to apply to conventional toilets, since it is intended exclusively to prevent splashing of urine, which lets through its spongy body, but that obviously would not allow its use when it comes to solid waste.
En la patente US 7921478 se describe otro dispositivo anti-salpicaduras para inodoros, consistente en una especie de deflector abatible que si bien evita que el anillo y la tapa del inodoro puedan ser salpicadas con la orina de un hombre, no evita los problemas de salpicaduras cuando se hacen las necesidades sentado, es decir cuando se defeca. In US 7921478, another anti-splash device for toilets is described, consisting of a kind of folding deflector that although it prevents the ring and the lid of the toilet can be splashed with the urine of a man, it does not avoid the problems of splashes when the needs are made sitting, that is when it is defecated.
Asimismo puede citarse el documento correspondiente a la patente WO 201023697 referente a un dispositivo anti-salpicaduras para inodoros, dispositivo que está previsto para que las personas de sexo masculino orinen en posición sentada, presentando los mismos problemas o limitaciones anteriormente comentados y relativos a los problemas de salpicaduras cuando se defeca. The document corresponding to patent WO 201023697 referring to an anti-splash device for toilets can also be cited, a device that is intended for male people to urinate in a sitting position, presenting the same problems or limitations mentioned above and related to problems of splashes when defecating.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El dispositivo que se preconiza resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta en todos y cada uno de los aspectos comentados en base a una solución sencilla pero sumamente eficaz. Para ello, y de forma más concreta, el dispositivo de la invención se constituye a partir de un bastidor de contorno ovalado, con un sector extremo abierto y el otro dotado de un cajetín para acoplamiento por enchufamiento de un brazo a través del cual se fija el conjunto sobre el borde superior de la taza del inodoro, con la particularidad de que el bastidor ovalado, que presenta unas dimensiones en planta acorde con la embocadura de acceso al sifón del inodoro, está provisto de una pluralidad de filamentos flexibles, preferentemente de silicona, si bien podrían ser de cualquier otro material flexible, que determinan una superficie de amortiguación para la orina y los excrementos sólidos. The device that is recommended resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed in each and every one of the aspects mentioned based on a simple but extremely effective solution. To do this, and more specifically, the device of the invention is constituted from an oval contour frame, with an open end sector and the other endowed with a box for coupling by plugging an arm through which it is fixed the assembly on the upper edge of the toilet bowl, with the particularity that the oval frame, which has dimensions in plan according to the access opening to the toilet siphon, is provided with a plurality of flexible filaments, preferably silicone , although they could be of any other flexible material, which determine a damping surface for urine and solid feces.
De esta forma, y una vez implantado el dispositivo, en la embocadura del sifón del inodoro se define una especie de barrera flexible, determinada a partir de los filamentos de silicona anteriormente comentados, que actúan como elementos amortiguadores y deformables, evitando el contacto brusco de la orina o heces con el agua contenida en dicho sifón, evitando así la generación de salpicaduras tanto en uno como en otro caso. In this way, and once the device is implanted, a kind of flexible barrier is defined at the mouth of the toilet siphon, determined from the silicone filaments mentioned above, which act as damping and deformable elements, avoiding the abrupt contact of the urine or feces with the water contained in said siphon, thus avoiding the generation of splashes in both one and another case.
El dispositivo presenta la particularidad de que el bastidor con los filamentos de silicona es independizable respecto del brazo de fijación, siendo dicho bastidor preferentemente de material plástico, al igual que el brazo, de naturaleza rígida o flexible, presentando dicho brazo un tramo extremo acodado en "U", para definir los medios de adaptación al borde o embocadura de la taza del inodoro, proyectándose desde dicha configuración en "U" el brazo de forma inclinada hacia abajo para que el bastidor previsto en el extremo opuesto, con la superficie horizontal elástica deformable en funciones de elemento amortiguador quede situada por encima del nivel del agua contenida en el sifón del inodoro. The device has the peculiarity that the frame with the silicone filaments is independent from the fixing arm, said frame being preferably made of plastic material, as well as the arm, of a rigid or flexible nature, said arm having an end section angled in "U", to define the means of adaptation to the edge or mouth of the toilet bowl, projecting from said configuration in "U" the arm inclined downwards so that the frame provided at the opposite end, with the elastic horizontal surface deformable as a function of the damping element, it is located above the level of the water contained in the toilet siphon.
Se consigue de esta forma un dispositivo desmontable, con una ocupación volumétrica mínima, sumamente efectivo en su función. In this way a removable device is achieved, with a minimum volumetric occupancy, highly effective in its function.
Opcionalmente, el citado brazo desacoplable del bastidor podrá tener únicamente la función de elemento aplicador, no siendo necesario el acodamiento en "U" invertida anteriormente citado, de manera que dicho bastidor quede simplemente apoyado sobre el interior del inodoro de forma estable. Optionally, the aforementioned decoupling arm of the frame may only have the function of an applicator element, the aforementioned inverted "U" bending not being necessary, so that said frame is simply supported on the inside of the toilet stably.
De esta forma, la estética y limpieza del inodoro queda mejorada respecto a la versión inicial descrita. En cuanto al bastidor propiamente dicho, que no tiene por qué ser necesariamente ovalado, sino adaptable conjuntamente con los filamentos que emergen del mismo a la configuración del fondo del inodoro, dicho bastidor podrá incorporar unos rebajes o cajeados superficiales en los que es susceptible de disponerse un gel desinfectante y aromatizado, preferentemente en formato sólido, que se irá disolviendo junto con el agua vertida por el inodoro mejorando así la higiene del mismo. In this way, the aesthetics and cleaning of the toilet is improved compared to the initial version described. As for the frame itself, which does not necessarily have to be oval, but adaptable together with the filaments that emerge from it to the configuration of the bottom of the toilet, said frame may incorporate recesses or superficial recesses in which it is likely to be arranged a disinfectant and flavored gel, preferably in solid format, which will dissolve along with the water poured by the toilet thus improving its hygiene.
De igual manera, el conjunto del dispositivo podría ir recubierto con una película de material anti-adherente que evite el ensuciado del mismo. Similarly, the whole device could be coated with a film of non-stick material that prevents fouling of the device.
En cuanto a los materiales utilizados, si bien se han citado algunos como preferentes, en dispositivo de la invención podría estar materializado en cualquier material apropiado, incorporar materiales de refuerzo e incluso estar obtenido en materiales biodegradables, como por ejemplo a base de cartón soluble en agua y similares, en orden a que no sea necesaria su retirada una vez usado, así como poder incluir materiales foto-luminiscentes que faciliten su visibilidad ante malas condiciones de luminosidad. As for the materials used, although some have been cited as preferred, the device of the invention could be materialized in any appropriate material, incorporate reinforcement materials and even be obtained in biodegradable materials, such as based on soluble cardboard in water and the like, in order that its withdrawal is not necessary once used, as well as being able to include photo-luminescent materials that facilitate its visibility in poor light conditions.
Solo resta señalar por último que, como es evidente, el dispositivo es susceptible de ser personalizado a través del propio bastidor, brazo o ambos, con logotipos de empresas, mensajes publicitarios o la información/decoración que se estime mas oportuna. It only remains to point out finally that, as is evident, the device is capable of being personalized through the frame itself, arm or both, with company logos, advertising messages or the information / decoration that is considered most appropriate.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, puede observarse como el dispositivo que se preconiza está constituido a partir de un bastidor (1 ), que en el ejemplo de realización elegido está obtenido en PVC, sin descartar otros materiales, de configuración ovalada y abierto por uno de sus extremos, definiendo una pareja de brazos arqueados de los que emergen internamente una pluralidad de filamentos (2) de silicona o material similar, que definen una superficie que permite el paso de la orina e incluso las heces, mediante deformación elástica de dichos filamentos, reduciendo así sensiblemente la velocidad de acceso de dicha orina o heces al seno del inodoro y por lo tanto evitando la generación de salpicaduras. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the device that is recommended is constituted from a frame (1), which in the chosen embodiment example is obtained in PVC, without discarding other materials, of oval configuration and open at one of its ends, defining a pair of arched arms from which a plurality of filaments (2) of silicone or similar material emerge internally, which define a surface that allows the passage of urine and even feces, by elastic deformation of said filaments, thus significantly reducing the speed of access of said urine or feces to the toilet and therefore avoiding the generation of splashes.
El extremo posterior del bastidor (1 ) incluye un cajetín (3) en el que se acopla por enchufe el extremo de un brazo (4), en cuyo extremo opuesto presenta un doble acodamiento para conformar un elemento de enganche (5) que se fijará al borde superior (6) de la taza o inodoro (7) en el que se aplique. The rear end of the frame (1) includes a box (3) in which the end of an arm (4) is plugged in, at the opposite end of which it has a double bend to form a hooking element (5) to be fixed. to the upper edge (6) of the cup or toilet (7) in which it is applied.
Así pues, y tal y como se representa en la figura 4, el bastidor (1 ) con los filamentos de silicona (2) quedan posicionados formando un plano horizontal deformable por encima del nivel (8) del agua contenida en el sifón del inodoro, de manera tal que esos filamentos de silicona (2) actúan como medios amortiguadores para la orina y las heces dada su alta flexibilidad, volviendo a su posición inoperante una vez traspasadas dichas heces u orina, es decir volviendo a formar una superficie amortiguadora, pudiendo ser utilizado tantas veces como sea necesario sin verse afectada su estabilidad o estructura. Thus, and as shown in Figure 4, the frame (1) with the silicone filaments (2) are positioned forming a deformable horizontal plane above the level (8) of the water contained in the toilet siphon, in such a way that these silicone filaments (2) act as damping means for urine and feces given their high flexibility, returning to their inoperative position once these feces have been transferred or urine, that is, re-forming a buffer surface, and can be used as many times as necessary without affecting its stability or structure.
Tal y como se puede observar en la figura 5, el bastidor ( ) puede presentar un carácter monopieza con el brazo (4), el cual se remata por su extremidad inferior en un sector en "V", del que emergen los dos brazos arqueados que participan en dicho bastidor, presentando sus filamentos (2') de mayor longitud y ligeramente curvados. As can be seen in Figure 5, the frame () can have a single piece character with the arm (4), which is topped by its lower extremity in a "V" sector, from which the two arched arms emerge that participate in said frame, presenting its filaments (2 ') of greater length and slightly curved.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, los filamentos (2-2') son susceptibles de incluir un recubrimiento a base de un producto ambientador. Paralelamente, dichos filamentos (2-2') son susceptibles de incluir un recubrimiento a base de una pintura termocromática.es decir que cambia de color al entrar en contacto con la orina, especialmente ideada para que los más pequeños aprendan a usar correctamente el inodoro. De acuerdo con la variante de realización práctica de las figuras 6 y 7, el brazo (4'), acoplable y desacoplable de bastidor (1 ) a través del cajetín (3), podría presentar una configuración en "C", en orden a tener la función de elemento aplicador, es decir, que solo se utilizase para facilitar las maniobras de colocación y retirada del bastidor (1 ) sobre el interior del inodoro de forma estable. According to another characteristic of the invention, the filaments (2-2 ') are capable of including a coating based on an air freshener product. In parallel, these filaments (2-2 ') are likely to include a coating based on a thermochromatic paint, that is to say that it changes color when it comes into contact with the urine, especially designed so that the little ones learn to use the toilet correctly . According to the practical embodiment variant of Figures 6 and 7, the arm (4 '), attachable and detachable from frame (1) through the box (3), could have a "C" configuration, in order to have the function of an applicator element, that is, that it was only used to facilitate the maneuvers of placement and removal of the frame (1) on the inside of the toilet stably.
Dicho conjunto bastidor (1 ) y filamentos (2) pueden adoptar configuraciones distintas a la ovalada, ya que la geometría de los inodoros puede ser muy diversa, sin que ello afecte a la esencia de la invención. Adicionalmente, el bastidor (1 ) podrá incorporar una serie de cajeados extremos (9) sobre su cara superior, en los que se establece un gel (10) desinfectante y/o aromatizante, preferentemente en estado sólido, que se disuelva poco a poco con el agua vertida por el inodoro, mejorando la higiene del mismo. De igual manera, el conjunto del dispositivo podría ir recubierto con una película de material anti-adherente que evite el ensuciado del mismo. Said frame assembly (1) and filaments (2) can adopt different configurations than the oval, since the geometry of the toilets can be very diverse, without affecting the essence of the invention. Additionally, the frame (1) may incorporate a series of end holes (9) on its upper face, in which a disinfectant and / or flavoring gel (10) is established, preferably in a solid state, which gradually dissolves with the water poured by the toilet, improving its hygiene. Similarly, the whole device could be coated with a film of non-stick material that prevents fouling of the device.
En cuanto a los materiales utilizados, el dispositivo podrá estar obtenido en materiales foto- luminiscentes que faciliten su visibilidad ante malas condiciones de luminosidad, así como en materiales biodegradables, como por ejemplo a base de cartón soluble en agua y similares, en orden a que no sea necesaria su retirada una vez usado. As for the materials used, the device may be obtained in photo-luminescent materials that facilitate its visibility in poor light conditions, as well as in biodegradable materials, such as based on water-soluble cardboard and the like, in order to its withdrawal is not necessary once used.
