Description

[0001] OPENING AND CLOSING THREE-STAGE SIPHON STRUCTURE

[0002] Subject of the Invention

[0003] The invention relates to an opening and closing siphon structure, which, by changing position based on the force applied thereon, permits the passage of the water from the ceramic sanitary ware to the wastewater installation, enables the water to be accumulated inside the ceramic sanitary ware by preventing the passage of the water, or facilitates the removal of the cover and / or the access to the space below the cover by enabling said cover to assume a third position above the drain of the ceramic sanitary ware that is higher compared to the other two cover positions.

[0004] State of the Art

[0005] The water provided for use via the faucets is transferred to the wastewater installation via the washbasins. The siphon structures are utilized for the transfer of the water, which flows into the washbasin, to the wastewater installation.

[0006] It may be desirable to accumulate the water inside the washbasin for various purposes. According to the state of the art, the drain plugs are among the devices that have been in use to that end for many years. However, the plugs with a structure integral with the siphon have also started to be preferred at the present. Owing to these plugs, which are located in an integral manner on the siphon and are able to move in the upward and downward directions, it is possible to permit the passage of the water from the washbasin to the wastewater installation or to prevent the passage of the water. In case it is desired to permit the flow of the water, the plug is enabled to rise and, as a result of the movement of the plug in the upward direction, the drain is opened and the flow of water is realized. In case it is desired to prevent the flow of the water, i.e., to fill the water into the washbasin, the plug is pushed in the downward direction to block the connection between the washbasin and the drain and the interior of the washbasin is thus enabled to be filled with water. In the practices according to the state of the art, it is not possible to access the drain and / or remove the cover even at the position where the plug permits the passage of the water. This causes the complication of the cleaning as well as the repair work in case of various possible malfunctions.

[0007] Object of the Invention

[0008] An object of the invention is to develop an opening and closing siphon structure, which has a third position facilitating the access to the drain, in addition to the two positions where the flow of water from the ceramic sanitary ware to the wastewater installation is permitted or said flow is prevented.

[0009] Another object of the invention is to develop an opening and closing siphon structure, which has a third position facilitating the removal of the cover, in addition to the two positions where the flow of water from the ceramic sanitary ware to the wastewater installation is permitted or said flow is prevented.

[0010] Another object of the invention is to develop an opening and closing siphon structure having a third position, which facilitates the access to the drain and which is located higher above the drain of the ceramic sanitary ware compared to the other two positions.

[0011] Another object of the invention is to develop an opening and closing siphon structure, in which the cover is enabled to be positioned at a different height after each force applied.
