TOILET BOWL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A BOWL

Abstract

The invention relates to a bowl (1) for a toilet, at least comprising an outer shell (2) and a water-guiding inner part (3), wherein water is supplied regularly to the inner part (3) when the bowl is used as intended, wherein the outer shell (2) comprises exclusively the non-water-guiding part of the bowl (1) and wherein the outer shell (2) consists of a cast mineral material and the inner part (3) consists of a different material. Also disclosed is a method for producing a bowl.

Claims

1. A bowl (1) for a toilet, at least comprising an outer skin (2) and a water-bearing inner part (3), wherein the inner part (3) is regularly exposed to water during its intended use, wherein the outer skin (2) comprises only the non-water-bearing part of the bowl (1), wherein the outer skin (2) consists of a mineral casting material and the inner part (5) consists of different material.

2. The bowl (1) according to claim 1, wherein the inner part (3) consists of a ceramic material.

3. The bowl (1) according to claim 1, wherein the outer skin (2) and the inner part (3) are interconnected through an adhesive bond (4).

4. The bowl (1) according to claim 1, wherein the outer skin (2) and the inner part (5) are interconnected at least by a screw connection, a clamping connection or a clip connection.

5. A method for manufacturing a bowl (1) for a toilet, wherein the bowl (1) has at least an outer skin (2) and a water-bearing inner part (3), wherein the inner part (3) is regularly exposed to water during its intended use, wherein the outer skin (2) comprises exclusively the non-water-bearing part of the bowl (1), wherein the method comprises at least the steps outlined below: a) provision of the outer skin (2), wherein the outer skin (2) is made of a mineral casting material; b) provision of the inner part (3), wherein the inner part is made of a different material than the outer skin (2); c) connection of the outer skin (2) and the inner part (3) to form a bowl.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the inner part (3) consists of a ceramic material.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the joining comprises adhesive bonding.

8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the joining comprises screwing, clamping or clipping.

Description

[0029] The invention and the technical environment are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures attached. It should be noted that the invention is not intended to be restricted by the cited exemplary embodiments. In particular, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it is also possible to extract partial aspects of the facts explained in the Figures and combine them with other components and findings from this description. In particular, it should be noted that the Figures and in particular the proportions shown are only schematic. In the Figures:

[0030] FIG. 1 shows a lateral view of a bowl in cross-section; and

[0031] FIG. 2 shows a method for manufacturing a bowl.

[0032] FIG. 1 shows a lateral view of a bowl 1 in cross-section. FIG. 2 shows a method for manufacturing a bowl 1. FIGS. 1 and 2 are described together below.

[0033] The bowl 1 has an outer skin 2 and a water-bearing inner part 3, the inner part 3 being regularly exposed to water during its intended use. The outer skin 2 comprises only the non-water-bearing part of the bowl 1, wherein the outer skin 2 is made of a mineral casting material and the inner part 3 is made of another material (not a mineral casting material).

[0034] The bowl 1 is supplied with water via a water inlet 5 (connected, for instance, to a cistern or a pressure line)

[0035] Further, a drain 6 is provided, through which, among other things, the water from the bowl 1 can be transferred to a sewer. The water inlet 5 and the water outlet 6 are interconnected via the water-bearing inner part 5 of the bowl 1.

[0036] The outer skin 2 and the inner part 5 are interconnected exclusively via a (in this case: adhesive) bond 4.

[0037] The connection 4 is arranged in a (usually) non-visible area of the bowl 1, in this case at the upper edge of an interior space of the bowl 1.

[0038] According to step a), the method for manufacturing a bowl comprises the provision of the outer skin 2, wherein the outer skin 2 is made of a mineral casting material. According to step b), the inner part 3 is provided, wherein the inner part 3 is made of a different material than the outer skin 2. According to step c), the connection 4 is used to connect the outer skin 2 to the inner part 3 to form a bowl 1.
