Toilet Bowl Discharge Valve Assembly

View page
US Patent:
8230533, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
Sep 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/525494
Inventors:
Thomas C. Jorsch - Sheboygan WI, US
Benjamin W. Marotz - Kohler WI, US
Charles R. Kopplin - Sheboygan WI, US
Jeffrey F. Tempas - Oostburg WI, US
Assignee:
Kohler Co. - Kohler WI
International Classification:
E03D 11/10
US Classification:
4434, 4438, 4440
Abstract:
Disclosed are trap valve assemblies for controlling flow from a toilet bowl to a trap way. In one form there is a cartridge unit positionable immediately below a toilet bowl discharge outlet. It has a pivotable gate in a form of a spherical segment. The gate has an eccentric pivoting motion so that it can swing from an open position to a blocking/closing position in which it fully contacts a sealing gasket. The spherical segment has a leading edge which is approximately between +40 and −40 from vertical when the gate is in an open position, to minimize the energy required to close the gate. In another form a ball and socket connection to the gate valve facilitates sealing.

Abstract:
A valve for a toilet includes an inlet and a gate configured to prevent fluid flow through the inlet. The gate includes an at least partially spherical surface and is configured to pivot eccentrically relative to the spherical surface.

Cable Overload Device

View page
US Patent:
20130042405, Feb 21, 2013
Filed:
Aug 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/588470
Inventors:
Benjamin Marotz - Kohler WI, US
Murali Natarajan - Sheboygan WI, US
Andrew Stokes - Sheybogan WI, US
Lisa Burns - Sheboygan WI, US
International Classification:
E03C 1/12
US Classification:
4679
Abstract:
A cable overload device for a cable-actuated drain system having a drain valve assembly and a drain control assembly where the cable includes a driving end connected to the control assembly and a driven end. The overload device includes a plunger, a linking member, a sleeve, and an energy absorber. The plunger is configured to be coupled to the driven end of the cable. The linking member is configured to move the drain valve assembly between open and closed positions. The sleeve includes a bore that extends from a first side to a second side of the sleeve, wherein the bore is configured to receive the plunger through the first side and to receive the linking member through the second side. The energy absorber is provided in the bore between the plunger and the linking member to absorb a force imposed into the linking member from the drain valve assembly.

International Classification:
E03C 1/12
F16L 5/00
US Classification:
4679, 137359
Abstract:
A trim kit for providing improved aesthetics to a bathroom fixture having a first side and a second side with a housing of a device coupled to the first side. The trim kit includes a mounting plate configured to be coupled to the device on the second side of the fixture, and an escutcheon having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The exterior surface is configured to provide a decorative aesthetic for the trim kit. The mounting plate includes a plurality of tabs. The interior surface of the escutcheon includes a plurality of catches that are each configured to engage with a corresponding catch to allow the escutcheon to be detachably coupled to the mounting plate.

Drain Control Assembly

View page
US Patent:
20130042407, Feb 21, 2013
Filed:
Aug 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/588503
Inventors:
Benjamin Marotz - Kohler WI, US
Murali Natarajan - Sheboygan WI, US
Andrew Stokes - Sheybogan WI, US
Lisa Burns - Sheboygan WI, US
International Classification:
E03C 1/12
US Classification:
4679
Abstract:
A drain control assembly including a receiving member having a bore and a receiving portion for selectively receiving a first actuator or a second actuator. The drain control assembly also includes a moveable member configured to move between a first position and a second position within the bore of the receiving member to cause a cable to open or close a drain valve assembly. The first actuator comprises a first body portion and is configured to move the moveable member in response to linear movement of the first body portion, and the second actuator includes a second body portion and is configured to move the moveable member in response to rotational movement of the second body portion.

Toilet Flushing Assembly And Sequence

View page
US Patent:
20140041109, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Oct 22, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/059906
Inventors:
Peter W. Denzin - Glenbeulah WI, US
Benjamin Marotz - Kohler WI, US
Assignee:
Kohler Co. - Kohler WI
International Classification:
E03D 3/12
US Classification:
4325, 4434
Abstract:
A toilet has an electronic flush assembly operable in either a short or long flush sequence selectable by a user. The long flush sequence includes a pre-rinse cycle and a rinse cycle in which the a supply valve and a flush valve are both opened and closed twice, once each first during the pre-rinse cycle and again during a subsequent rinse cycle. The rim supply valve and the flush valve are opened during the pre-rinse and rinse cycles but are closed at the start and end of each cycle. An electronic control controls operation of the valves as well as water supply control components. Level sensors can also be included to provide feedback to the controller, for example, to prevent overflow conditions.

E03D 11/10
US Classification:
4441, 4438
Abstract:
Disclosed are valve assemblies for controlling flow from a toilet bowl to a trap way. In one form there is a cartridge unit in which a pivotable gate is mounted. The gate can swing from a blocking/closing position to a position in which it is essentially hidden away in a recess out of the main flow path. The surface of the gate facing the bowl is inwardly dished to further facilitate flow optimization.
