DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] For a detailed description, we will support in the figures in order to make this description more comprehensible and with the level of clearance.

[0033] FIG. 1 illustrates a vertical cut in the longitudinal direction of the bowl displaying the inner side of the bowl's basin.

[0034] As can be seen from this figure, the discharge water entry 1 over the distribution chamber 2. In the chamber there are two exits, one is exit 3 that feeds the rim with the 28 orifices, 6 ellipsoidal, and the other is exit 4 that feeds two branches that surrounds through the inner side of the basin's wall 7 in order to come to disgorge in the flux 5 that is the stream exit that will push the wastes towards the exit of the water trap 8. This water trap is made to avoid that the drainage gases invade the bathroom space. Having this trap the water mirror 9, due to the principle of communicating vessels in the right arm of the trap it is had the same level 10 and it's until this point that the drainage gases will arrive.

[0035] The hydraulic design of a toilet bowl is an activity that does not respond to the preset rules, but responds to the experience of a designer and is selected with a heuristic method. The design of the present bowl displayed an interesting performance in terms of the cleaning of the basin and the dragging of the solid wastes into the drain.

[0036] A change in any of the elements that integrate the bowl such as: number, dimensions and the formation of the holes or conducts in the rim will indicate changes difficult to foresee. Having to change simultaneously the dimensions and formations of the pipes that feed the bowl's flux.

[0037] In these conditions it has been found that there must be a relation between the diameter of the water entry 1 and the exits of the water distribution chamber 3 and 4 and particularly the diameter relation of the exits towards the rim and into the flux. It has been found that the best relation between the rim's exit and the flux's exit is between 0.3 and 0.4. For example, the exit's diameter to the rim may be 9 mm and the one of the flux's exit would have to be 25 mm.

[0038] Now, with respect to the tube that forms the water seal in the back side of the bowl, this forms a loop 11 for it to undertake the siphon effect when the water flush is activated. The water level in the basin and in the seal tube rises until it reaches the maximum level and then goes down violently generating a vacuum pressure in the tube and this absorbs the content of the lower part of the basin. This is the siphon effect, and this effect is increased by the flux's stream in the inferior side, increasing the impulse of the wastes.

[0039] After this loop the tube presents two curves towards the basin forming two steps, a superior 12 and an inferior 13 just before it disgorges in the exit into the drainage. Surprisingly this staggering has improved the waste discharge into the drain. The superior step is not entirely straight or completely horizontal as the lower one is, but it is a brake that would normally be expected to hinder the solid and liquid waste flow, but nevertheless it improves such flow.

[0040] The basin 7 normally includes the water trap that due to the principles of communicating vessels keeps an amount of water in the rear and it is what prevents the gas return from the drain. The water mirror 9 has the same level as the water mirror 10 keeping a water trap 8.

[0041] When it is required that the bowl has a greater height, for example when the user is going to be a person with locomotor problems which retrain him to bend to far due to the atrophy of certain muscles, it is needed that the design is enlarged without a detriment in the hydraulic performance of the bowl.

[0042] In other of the favorite modalities of the present invention, the section of the tube that disgorges in the drainage may be elongated between the superior and the inferior steps, making the lengthening of the corresponding elements such as the conducts that lead the water of the distribution chamber to the jet.

[0043] It is clear that other elements present in the bowl must be elongated as well, but the rest of the elements in the hydraulic system and the drainage remains the same as well as the performance.

[0044] The FIG. 2 displays the superior face of the A-A cut, the pierces 6 of the water streams that will sweep the surface of the basin for its cleaning. This pierces are formed during the process so called punched out and consists in introducing a cylindrical body into the mass of the still friable material. Being introduced in an inclined manner with an angle of around 40 or 50. The orifice presents an ellipsoidal formation and the conduct formed has a tilt so that the formed stream will concur in a zone as high as possible of the basin and with such inclination it will form an enveloping when the two forces come into play in the stream, gravity and outlet pressure, forming a curtain instead of two separate streams.

[0045] In this FIG. 2 it may be appreciated the elements 1, that consists in the water entry to the distribution chamber 2 and the exit 3 into the holes of the rim 6. Although in this view it's not noticed, the holes of the rim are ellipsoidal even though they are made with a cylindrical perforating punch. When the paste from which the toilet is made is still pliable, this perforating punch with a diameter of around 4 and 6 mm applied with a tilt between 40 and 50 originates a conduct with this incline and an exit with an ellipse form and has a larger diameter x2 between 5 and 7 mm and a smaller diameter x3 between 4 and 6 mm. Being inclined, the conduct formed by this punch, the water stream formed is also inclined and its directed to the wall of the basin from the superior part, carrying out the soaking more efficiently.

[0046] In other words the ellipsoidal holes included in the lower wall of the rim and the inclination of the punch is such that the stream comes out and is directed towards the wall of the basin in the corresponding zone of the neighbor holes of each exit orifice. In one of its preferred modalities the exit has a larger diameter x2 of 6 mm and a smaller diameter x3 of 5 mm or less. In one of the preferred modalities the rim includes in its entire periphery 28 conducts as the one described.

[0047] The encircled area by the circle c is seen with a better detail in FIG. 5.

[0048] FIG. 3 illustrates a downward view of the cut in the horizontal plane A-A of the bowl, with the water flow pass to the lower part. In this view it can be appreciated the distribution chamber 2, the exit 3 towards the jet 5 and the basin 14; the exit 3 connects with a couple internal conducts that surrounds the basin and disgorges in flux 5. The diameter of the flux has already been discussed in the detailed description of FIG. 1. Since we reiterate the relation of the diameter in exit 3 with respect to the diameter of exit 4, will condition the amount of water that will be conducted to the holes of the rim and the one that will be conducted to the flux. This conditioning will make that both the sweeping of the interior surface in the basin as the dislodge of the solid and liquid wastes in the bowl.

[0049] It is already mentioned in the description of FIG. 1 the relations of the diameter that achieve the proper flow of the water currents to clean the inner surface of the basin and efficiently dragging the solid and liquid wastes.

[0050] FIG. 5 illustrates the detail of the holes 6 in the rim 15 with its tilt that makes the formed stream to have an improved dragging effect.

[0051] In this cut it is displayed the inclination of the orifice to direct the provoked stream to the upper part of the inner surface of the basin.

[0052] However there is another orthogonal inclination to this one, namely at 90 degrees, and that makes that beyond to directing the stream toward the upper part of the basin, it would also be directed with a lateral tilt so that with the strength with what it exits the orifice and the effect of gravity it is formed a curtain that completely sweeps the surface of the basin, Without leaving surface without sweeping that would be the case when they are vertical jets that are formed by the orifices of the rim.

[0053] FIG. 5 illustrates the detail of the holes in the rim with its inclination that makes that the formed stream has an improved dragging effect. The punch, namely, the instrument with which the holes are made has a diameter between 4 and 6 mm that by an inclination between 40 and 50 it originates a conduct with this inclination and an exit with an ellipse form, with a larger diameter x2 between 5 and 7 mm and a minor diameter x3 between 4 and 6 mm.

[0054] The invention has been sufficiently described so that a person with medium knowledge in the subject may reproduce and obtain the results mentioned in this invention. Nevertheless any skillful person in the field of technology matter of the present invention may be able to make modifications not described in the present application, however the application of this modifications in a certain product or its manufacturing process it would be required form the claimed matter in the following claims. Such structures should be comprehended within the scope of the invention.
