Abstract

The invention relates to a toilet pan, especially made from ceramic material, having a pan rim ( 10 ) and having a distribution apron ( 11 ), open to the bottom, which is arranged in front of an inflow opening ( 12 ) of the pan rim ( 10 ) and which forms a deflection plate, the pan rim ( 10 ) having a circumferential, especially completely circumferential, projection ( 13 ) which forms an apron-free water guideway which is in fluid connection with the distribution apron ( 11 ). It is distinguished by the fact that the projection ( 13 ) has a horizontal first wall ( 14 ), which makes a transition into the deflection plate of the distribution apron ( 11 ), and the pan rim ( 10 ) has a second wall ( 15 ), which extends downwards, the first and second walls ( 14, 15 ) delimiting a hollow channel of the water guideway, which is open to the side and to the bottom.

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A toilet pan, especially made from ceramic material, having a pan rim and having a distribution apron, open to the bottom, which is arranged in front of an inflow opening and which forms a deflection plate, the pan rim having a circumferential, especially completely circumferential, projection which forms an apron-free water guideway which is in fluid connection with the distribution apron, comprising:
 the projection has a horizontal first wall, which makes a transition into the deflection plate of the distribution apron, and the pan rim has a second wall, which extends downwards, the first and second walls delimiting a hollow channel of the water guideway, which is open to the side and to the bottom.   
     
     
         2 . The toilet pan according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the horizontal first wall finishes flush with the pan rim.   
     
     
         3 . The toilet according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the second wall, which extends downwards, slants inwards.   
     
     
         4 . The toilet pan according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 the pan rim has a circumferential step, which delimits the hollow channel in the downward direction.   
     
     
         5 . The toilet pan according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first and second walls have the same wall thickness.   
     
     
         6 . The toilet pan according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 the horizontal first wall makes a continuous transition into the distribution apron.   
     
     
         7 . The toilet pan according to  claim 6 , wherein:
 a transition edge is formed between the horizontal first wall and the distribution apron.   
     
     
         8 . The toilet pan according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the distribution apron extends along a part of the circumference of the pan rim, which constitutes 25% to 35% of the total circumference.   
     
     
         9 . The toilet pan according to  claim 8 , wherein:
 a bottom edge of the distribution apron is arranged at the same height as or higher than an inner rim of the toilet pan in the region of the inflow opening.   
     
     
         10 . A toilet having a toilet pan according to  claim 1 .
