Abstract
Description
[0001] BIDET RESERVOIR HAVING A DETACHABLE RESISTANCE AND / OR AT LEAST ONE DETACHABLE PORTION WHERE RESISTANCE IS POSITIONED
[0002] Subject of the Invention
[0003] The invention relates to a bidet reservoir where the resistance, which enables the water to be used for the purpose of cleansing to be heated, and / or at least one portion, in which the resistance is positioned, has / have a structure detachable from the reservoir body.
[0004] State of the Art
[0005] The water to be used for the purpose of cleansing is provided for use with the help of various bidet apparatus fitted on the toilets. With the advancing technology, various technological properties have been conferred to the bidet apparatus. Today, the bidet systems providing different types of washing according to the gender, the moveable bidet systems, and the bidet systems with the drying feature have started to be used. In the conventional systems, the bidet apparatus is directly connected to the clean water installation and the water in the installation is directly provided for use. Providing the bidet water for use by heating the same in order to offer a more comfortable use for the users is among the practices recently preferred.
[0006] Most of the time, the bidet water is heated with the help of the resistances, which convert the electrical energy into the thermal energy, and is then provided for use. In the applications where the bidet water is provided for use by heating the same, the water is usually accumulated inside a reservoir and is made ready for use by way of being heated via the resistance up to the predefined desired temperature. Because the water stored inside the reservoir is the water coming from the clean water installation, said water may contain varying quantities of foreign matter, such as lime and residues. Said foreign matter accumulates inside the reservoir and may lead to the undesirable situations such as the decrease in the performance of the resistance, the damage to the components due to the scaling, and the clogging.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to clean the interior of the reservoir and / or the resistance at certain intervals. Various chemicals are employed to perform said cleaning. However, it is not possible to perform the physical cleaning of the reservoir and / or the resistance, due to the difficulty in accessing the same.
[0008] Object of the Invention
[0009] An object of the invention is to develop a reservoir, which makes the physical cleaning of the interior of said reservoir and / or of the resistance possible.
[0010] Another object of the invention is to develop a reservoir with at least one portion, which may be detached from the reservoir body and which may thus enable the physical cleaning to be realized.
[0011] Another object of the invention is to develop a reservoir, the resistance of which is detachable from the body and / or detachable from the reservoir portion that is possible to be detached from the body.

[0021] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0022] The invention relates to a bidet reservoir where the resistance (3), which enables the water to be used for the purpose of cleansing to be heated, and / or at least one portion, in which the resistance is positioned, has / have a structure detachable from the reservoir body (1). More particularly, the invention relates to a bidet reservoir, which comprises at least one detachable reservoir portion (2) with a structure able to be detached from the reservoir body (1) and / or at least one resistance (3) with a structure able to be detached from the reservoir body (1) and / or from the detachable reservoir portion (2).
[0023] The reservoir according to the invention comprises at least one reservoir body (1), inside which the water is stored; at least one detachable reservoir portion (2), which has a structure able to be detached from the reservoir body (1), i.e., able to be detached from and reattached to the reservoir body (1); and / or at least one resistance (3), which has a structure able to be detached from the reservoir body (1) and / or from the detachable reservoir portion (2), i.e., able to be detached from and reattached to the reservoir body (1) and / or the detachable reservoir portion (2), and which enables the water inside the reservoir to be heated by converting the electrical energy into the thermal energy.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the detachable reservoir portion (2) is a detachable reservoir portion (2), which, when positioned on the reservoir body (1), enables the water to be used for the purpose of cleansing to be stored inside the reservoir, complements the reservoir body (1) in a sealing manner, and facilitates access to the interior and thus allows the physical cleaning by being detached from the reservoir body (1) in the case where the residues accumulate inside the reservoir as a result of the use. The residues inside the reservoir accumulate in the bottom part of said reservoir. Consequently, the detachable reservoir portion (2) is a detachable reservoir portion (2), which is fixed to the reservoir body (1) from the bottom in a way enabling the residues to accumulate inside it. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the detachable reservoir portion (2) is a detachable reservoir portion (2), to which the resistance (3) intended for enabling the water inside the reservoir to be heated is fixed.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the resistance (3) is a resistance (3), which is detachable from and reattachable to the reservoir body (1) and the physical cleaning for which is thus possible to realize upon the detachment of the same from the reservoir body (1).
[0026] A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises at least one seal (4), which provides the sealing between the detachable reservoir portion (2) and the reservoir body (1) when said detachable reservoir portion (2) is positioned on said reservoir body (1).
[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the reservoir body (1) is a reservoir body (1), which has a structure suitable for being positioned into the toilet reservoir housing (5) that is located in the rear part of the toilet. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the detachable reservoir portion (2) is a detachable reservoir portion (2), which has a structure suitable for being positioned into the toilet reservoir housing (5) along with the reservoir body (1), when positioned on said reservoir body (1).
