Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary installation, such as in particular a flush toilet, a urinal or a bidet with a sanitary bowl, comprising a sanitary unit and a flush water delivery device, which is suitable for generating at least one circular flow in the sanitary bowl, and a siphon with a siphon opening, through which sewage can be fed to an outflow pipe, wherein the siphon opening is arranged asymmetrically, in particular eccentrically, relative to an imaginary centre line, which extends essentially centrally from a front end of the sanitary unit facing a user during the flushing operation to an opposite essentially central rear end of the sanitary unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A sanitary installation, such as in particular a flush toilet, a urinal or a bidet, with a sanitary unit comprising a sanitary bowl and a flush water delivery device, which is suitable for generating at least one circular flow in the sanitary bowl, and a siphon with a siphon opening, through which sewage can be fed to an outflow pipe,
 wherein the siphon opening is arranged asymmetrically, in particular eccentrically, relative to an imaginary centre line, which extends essentially centrally from a front end of the sanitary unit facing a user during the flushing operation to an opposite essentially central rear end of the sanitary unit.   
     
     
         2 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the siphon opening has a cross-section which is round, oval and/or formed from at least two combined circle segments and/or linear segments.   
     
     
         3 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cross-section of the siphon opening has a longest extension, in particular axis, which is aligned essentially parallel or essentially perpendicular to the at least one circular flow flowing into the siphon opening.   
     
     
         4 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the longest extension of the siphon opening lies in the range from 20 mm to 120 mm, preferably in the range from 30 mm to 100 mm and particularly preferably in the range from 45 mm to 85 mm.   
     
     
         5 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein a ratio of the longest extension extending over the cross-section of the siphon opening to a maximum shortest extension extending over the cross-section of the siphon opening lies in the range from 1:1 to 1:10, preferably in the range from 1:1 to 1:5.   
     
     
         6 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the siphon opening is adjoined by an arc-shaped and/or inclined and/or at least single-bend, in particular double-bend, outflow pipe, which can be connected fluid-tight to the siphon, in particular to the siphon opening, or is permanently connected to the siphon, in particular to the siphon opening.   
     
     
         7 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the outflow pipe has a rounded inner surface.   
     
     
         8 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the outflow pipe on the one hand has a cross-section corresponding to the cross-section of the siphon opening and on the other hand a round cross-section.   
     
     
         9 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the sanitary bowl and the siphon are constituted in one piece and form the sanitary unit, wherein the outflow pipe is constituted so that it can be attached to the sanitary unit.   
     
     
         10 . The sanitary installation according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the sanitary bowl, the siphon and the outflow pipe are constituted in one piece and form the sanitary unit.
