The invention relates to a fastening device for arranging a sanitary element on a sanitary object and a sanitary element, as described in the preambles of claims 1 and 15.

From EP 1 199 020 A2 a toilet seat hinge with a fastening device for fastening a seat and a lid existing toilet seat set on a ceramic is known. This articulated fastening device comprises an adapter piece with an approximately cylindrical shape, in which a radial blind hole is formed. This adapter piece can be placed over the blind hole on a hinge dome, which is anchored on the ceramic. The locking between the Schamierdom and the adapter piece via a snap connection, which is formed by a spring ring or O-ring, which is inserted into the inner peripheral wall of the blind hole and engages in a circumferential groove of the Schamierdoms. This snap connection allows the seat set to be removed from the hinge domes so that the seat set can be removed from the ceramic. The disadvantage here is that the holding force of this plug-in or snap connection depends on the Dimensioniemng or on the nature of the spring or O-ring and at too low selected holding force of the snap connection may occur inadvertent release of the snap connection or on the other hand at too high Holding this snap connection makes it difficult to remove the Sitzgamitur or withdrawal is associated with jerky or abrupt release movements, which damage to sanitary facilities or even injury to the person handling can occur.

Applicant's AT 405 125 B describes a toilet seat with a hinge-like fastening device for fastening the toilet seat to a toilet bowl by means of a screw connection. This fastening device comprises a N2003 / 15300 ········ 2 «····· ··« · Μ - * · · · «« | A part to be connected to the toilet bowl with a pin-shaped extension and another part connected to the toilet seat, these two parts being connected to one another in an articulated manner. The further part can be placed over a recess on the extension and secured by a locking device with the extension in the axial direction against lifting. In this case, the locking device has a fixing disc rotatable on an axis limited to a stop in order to limit the rotation of the pin-shaped extension. This fixing disc engages with a peripheral, starting from a recess adapted to the extension outer contour locking lug in the annular groove of the extension. By this Verriegelungseimichtung can be removed from the toilet bowl after opening the locking device at any time, for example, for cleaning purposes, the toilet seat. The disadvantage here is on the one hand that this locking device is structurally complex and therefore expensive. Another disadvantage is that the fixing washer must be in a certain angular position in order to produce a connection between the holding parts can. Furthermore, the handling of the locking device is relatively cumbersome or expensive due to the occasionally difficult-to-view holding elements.

The present invention has for its object to make a generic fastening device or a sanitary element structurally such that a simple assembly and disassembly of a sanitary element against a sanitary object is made possible. It is also a subtask of the invention to keep the construction effort as low as possible.

This object of the invention is achieved by a fastening device with the features of claim 1. It is advantageous that a sufficiently tear-resistant connection between the sanitary element and the sanitary object can be created by this locking device. In addition, a quasi-intuitive operation of this coupling connection is given, so that the mode of action or a presence of the need-releasable coupling device is essentially recognizable without any hints or concrete training measures. Another advantage is that via this actuator is easily recognizable whether the sanitary element against the sanitary object is properly locked or whether a proper coupling connection is present. In addition, such a locking device N2003 / 15300 is structurally relatively easy to manufacture and can be simplified by the small number of components for the entire fastening device inventory management. Of particular advantage is further that the actuator must be deliberately or actively adjusted by an operator to cancel the coupling connection such that a lifting of the sanitary element relative to the sanitary object is made possible. Furthermore, it is advantageous that with active adjustment of the actuating element in the unlocked or releasing position an effortless or relatively smooth removal of the sanitary element relative to the sanitary object is made possible after the so-called positive lock between the first and the further flat retaining element is actively repealed.

By an advantageous development according to claim 2 it can be ensured that the confirmation element is always in a defined position, preferably in the locking position, urged.

Of particular advantage is also an embodiment according to claim 3, characterized in that the actuating element can be relatively small and thus visually inconspicuous or optically advantageous and yet an effortless actuation of the actuating element or a comfortable unlocking of the locking device allows.

The number of required components can be kept low by the embodiment according to claim 4 and is also achieved a locking device with long-term high functional reliability.

Due to the embodiment according to claim 5 results for the operator of the fastening device an unmistakable or almost intuitive handling of the need-unlocking coupling device.

The embodiment according to claim 6 ensures that the locking device is always urged into the locking position and thus a manual or deliberate activation of a lock between the two holding elements is unnecessary.

Due to the configuration according to claim 7, a positive lock or bolt lock is formed in a simple manner, which offers manufacturing advantages and beyond robust and structurally simple to run. N2003 / 15300 • · «« ···· 4 · * * · φ * · * · · ······································································· «

The embodiment according to claim 8 ensures that in the unlocked position of the locking device a smooth or effortless separation of the plug connection between the two holding elements is made possible, so that no abrupt or force-intensive separation movements are required.

In the embodiment according to claim 9, it is advantageous that it is not necessary to pay attention to a particular angular position or orientation of the pin-shaped extension when it is fastened to the sanitary object.

Due to the configuration according to claim 10, a simple, if necessary, deactivatable locking is achieved with sufficient locking or holding force between the holding elements.

Of particular advantage is also an optional development according to claim 11, since in a simple manner an automatic latching or snap connection can be established. In other words, it is not absolutely necessary for the non-positive connection of the two holding elements to manually move the actuating element or the locking device into the unlocked position. In particular, an automated snap connection between the two retaining elements of the fastening device can be implemented by such a development, which accelerates and simplifies the assembly or Aufsteckvorgang.

Due to the configuration according to claim 12 or 13, a reliable and sufficiently adjustable mounting of the peg-like retaining element on the sanitary object is made possible.

Due to the configuration according to claim 14, the coupling connection and the pivot bearing can be constructed structurally compact and is also a high stability of such a fastening device achievable.

The object of the invention is achieved independently by a sanitary element according to claim 15. It is advantageous that such a sanitary element, e.g. for cleaning purposes, at any time from the sanitary object can be removed. For this purpose, the operator or the cleaning personnel only has to manually spend the actuating element in the unlocking position and is then enabled to easily remove the sanitary object from the sanitary object. Furthermore, it is advantageous that with appropriate deactivation of the locking device on the fastening device, the elements do not automatically solve each other, but an active lifting of the sanitary element against the sanitary object is required, so injuries or unintentional adjustments are almost impossible.

In the embodiment according to claim 16 it is advantageous that such a sanitary element can be quickly and comfortably connected to a correspondingly corresponding sanitary object.

Another advantage is also an embodiment according to claim 17, as this at any time a tool-free and special comfortable loosening and connecting the corresponding sanitary objects, especially for cleaning purposes and / or for a replacement of damaged toilet seat chairs, in a simple manner is possible. In addition, a sufficiently stable pivotal mounting and attachment of the sanitary element is achieved on the sanitary object by the pairwise use of the fastening devices or mounting lugs.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, partially schematically and by way of example.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the various exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent separate, inventive or inventive solutions.

1 and 2 an embodiment of a multi-part sanitary element 1 is illustrated, which by means of at least one, preferably by means of two inventive N2003 / 15300, «• · · ♦ -7 · I * · * ·« 4 »· * · * " The fixing devices 2 can be arranged or fastened to a sanitary object 3.

The sanitary element 1 is - as shown schematically - preferably formed by a toilet seat set, which may consist of a seat element 4 and optionally of a cover element 5.

The seat element 4, in particular the so-called toilet seat and / or the usually formed cover element 5 are, as is known, pivotable relative to the sanitary object 3 via a substantially horizontally extending axis 6. In particular, the seat element 4 and an optionally formed cover element 5 are independently pivotable relative to the sanitary object 3 between a folded-up, substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. The sanitary object 3 is formed in the embodiment shown by a particular ceramic toilet bowl 7.

The substantially horizontally extending axis 6 is formed by a pivot bearing 8, which is executed at least partially on the fastening device 2. Optionally, this pivot bearing 8 include a damping device 9, which opposes the pivotal movement of the sanitary element 1, starting from the substantially vertical position in the illustrated, substantially horizontal position a defined, mechanical resistance to movement. As a result, a sudden drop of the sanitary element 1 on the sanitary object 3 can be prevented or at least partially mitigated.

The fastening device 2 further comprises a first holding element 10 which is fixable or mounted on the sanitary article 3 and at least one further holding element 11, which is in communication with the sanitary element 1 or is coupled to the latter via the pivot bearing 8.

The first holding element 10 can be mounted on the sanitary object 3 preferably by means of a screw connection 12, which is optionally position-variable with respect to the holding element 10. This screw connection 12 is in this case, for example, via a slot-type arrangement 13 and / or a rotationally adjustable holding disc 14 at the desired, e.g. eccentric N2003 / 15300 ···························································································································

Position, relative to the base surface of the holding element 10 can be variably positioned. As a result, a simple adjustment or adaptation of the mounting position or the mounting points between the sanitary element 1 and the sanitary object 3 can be achieved.

The first holding element 10 preferably has an essentially pin-shaped extension 15, which is aligned substantially perpendicular to a contact plane 16 of the holding element 10. This extension 15 forms a kind of bearing pin for the further holding element 11 and subsequently for the sanitary element 1.

In particular, the further holding element 11 has a recess 17 which substantially corresponds to the extension 15, i. can be offset with this at least in partial engagement. Above all, it is possible through this recess 17, the holding element 11 set up on the extension 15 of the holding element 10 or aufzustecken.

Preferably, the extension 15 is cylindrical and thus has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape. The recess 17 is suitably ausgevollihrt in the manner of a bore in the holding element 11, in particular in the manner of a blind hole. Alternatively, the extension 15 or the recess 17 may also have angular, in particular poly-gone cross-sectional shapes.

Between the first holding member 10 and the further holding member 11 so a coupling device 18 is formed to the sanitary element 11 against the sanitary object 3 connectable and, if necessary, form separable from each other. This coupling device 18 is in particular also provided to make a lock and, if necessary, unlocking between the holding elements 10,11 can.

It is essential that this coupling device 18 comprises at least one with respect to the holding elements 10,11 linearly adjustable actuator 19 which operated by an operator without tools, i. manually and essentially linearly displaceable. This actuating element 19 serves at least for the active cancellation or deactivation of a positive or locked coupling connection between the two holding elements 10, 11. In particular, by an actuation of the actuating element 19 is a positive lock or lock, which is customarily N2003 / 15300 4 4th

In the direction of separation - as shown by arrow 20 - t is effective, consciously or actively repealed by the user ♦ ····························. In this unlocked state of the coupling device 18 is then a relatively effortless or smooth lifting of the holding element 11, in particular the sanitary element 1, from the holding element 10, in particular from the sanitary object 3, allows. From the previously described can be seen that a separation direction - according to arrow 20 - runs in the vertical direction and is based on a relative adjustment between the sanitary element 1 and the sanitary object 3.

The preferably substantially vertically oriented extension 15 of the holding element 10 is thus by the lifting of the sanitary element 1 relative to the holding member 11 disengaged, on the condition that previously the actuator 19 of the coupling device 18 is properly operated by the user, in particular pressed. In contrast, an effective locking of the coupling device 18 prevents any manual separation attempts between the two holding elements 10, 11 in the axial direction of the extension 15 with sufficient locking force or even to breakage of the fastening device 2 and / or the sanitary element 1 in case of violence.

Preferably, the actuating element 19 is designed as a spring-loaded pin 21 which is adjustably mounted in one of the holding elements 10,11, according to the example in the holding element 11. Depending on the position or relative position of the bolt 21 relative to the two holding elements 10,11 is thus either a positive lock in the separation direction - according to arrow 20 - given or Relatiwerstellbarkeit between the two holding elements 10,11, in particular along the extension 15 or the recess 17 allows. That the actuating element 19 serves at least for the active unlocking of the coupling connection between the two retaining elements 10, 11, so that in the unlocked position a lifting of the sanitary element 1 relative to the sanitary object 3 is made possible.

3 shows a decoupled state between the paired holding elements 10,11 a two-way mounting device 2. It can also be seen that the first holding elements 10 on the sanitary object 3, not shown, remain (Fig. 2), in particular on the ceramic and the further holding elements 11 with the sanitary element 1, in particular with the cover element 5 and / or only partially N2003 / 15300 -10

Remain visible when the fastening device 2 is in the disconnected state or when the coupling device 18 is released.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the actuating element 19 is preferably formed on the holding element 11, which is permanently coupled to the sanitary element 1. In particular, this actuator 19 is executed in the manner of a push button 22, which is to be actively actuated in order to decouple the coupling device 18, in particular to be able to lift the lock between the holding elements 10,11.

Furthermore, it is clearly evident from FIG. 3 that the holding element 11 forms part of the pivot bearing 8 or that the axis 6 is executed on the holding element 11 or that the imaginary axis 6 passes through the holding element 11.

4 to 6, the fastening device 2, as roughly illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, is shown in detail. For previously described parts, the same reference numerals are thus used and the preceding descriptions are mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals transferable.

From these representations it can be seen that the holding element 11 is formed quasi sleeve or cap-like and over the pin-like extension 15 is put or plugged. That the holding element 10 and the holding element 11 form via the extension 15 and the recess 17 is a kind of connector, wherein the plugging direction perpendicular to the support plane 16 and parallel to the longitudinal center axis 23 formed by a screw screw 12 extends.

Here, the further holding element 11 forms a receptacle 24 for the pivot bearing 8. In this embodiment, the receptacle 24 is formed by a bearing extension 25, which extends transversely to the longitudinal or vertical extension 26 of the extension 15 or the recess 17 so that in the assembled state of the fastening device 2, the substantially horizontally extending axis 6 is formed to which the sanitary element 1 (Fig. 1) is pivotable.

The coupling device 18 designed in the manner of a plug connection comprises a locking device 27, which can be deactivated as required, with the actuating element 19 for unlocking this locking device 27. The locking device 27 becomes N2003 / 15300 -11

in this case formed by an at least partially formed, but preferably circumferential locking groove 28 in the extension 15 and by a simultaneously forming the actuator 19 pin 21. The bolt 21 forms a quasi linearly adjustable locking and unlocking of the coupling connection 18 between the two holding elements 10, 11.

In an apparent from Fig. 6 locking position 29 of the actuating element 19 of the bolt 21 is at least partially with the locking groove 28 in the extension 15 in positive connection and thus prevents unwanted separation between the support member 11 and the support member 10 and the locking device 27 is executed in that a separation of the coupling connection is made possible only with a relatively high, almost violent force, before a breakage of components occurs.

In the illustrated in Fig. 6 locking position 29 of the actuating element 19 engages a skirt portion of the bolt 21 and an otherwise running, linearly adjustable locking member into the locking groove 24 and thus provides a movement lock of the retaining element 11 relative to the holding element 10 in the separation direction - as indicated by arrow 20 - or in the axial direction to the extension 15.

As further best seen in Fig. 6 it can be seen, the bolt 21 is adjustably mounted in a bore 30 of the retaining element 11. In particular, the pin 21 is guided linearly via this bore 30 and supported at least in sections in this bore 30. The bore 30 extends transversely to the longitudinal extension of the recess 17 and positioned such that the recess 17 and the bore 30 at least partially intersect or intersect. In other words, the bore 30 and the recess 17 merge into each other at least in sections. The mounted in the bore 30 bolt 21 is stop limited via corresponding stop surfaces in the bore 30 of the support member 11 adjustable. In particular, a stop limit is formed in both adjustment directions of the actuating element 19 or of the bolt 21, so that the actuating element 19 can neither be pushed through nor fall out of contact with the retaining element 11.

Preferably, the bore 30 for the bolt 21 is formed as a blind hole and the length of the bolt 21 is selected such that a first end portion 31 of the bolt 21 protrudes with respect to the surface 32 and the outer boundary of the holding element 11. N2003 / 15300 -12 -12 • · • · · · · · · · · · · · · · · «· · · · ♦

This protruding end portion 31 of the bolt 21 preferably also represents the actuating element 19 in the form of the push button 22, so that no additional or further components are required and the number of total required elements can be kept low.

The length or the diameter of the pin 21 and the orientation of the bore 31 is selected such that it protrudes at least partially into the recess 17 in the locking position 29 and thereby engage with the detent groove 28 of a recess 17 in the extension 15 can occur. Among other things, for this purpose, the bore 30 and the guided therein pin 21 is aligned transversely to the longitudinal or vertical extent 26 of the pin-shaped extension 25.

6, the actuating element 19 or the bolt 21 is urged steadily into the locking position 29 by means of a spring element 33, for example by means of a spiral compression or leaf spring. For unlocking the locking device 27 and for deactivating the positive lock the user must apply sufficient force to the actuator 19 to move it against the force of the spring element 33 in an unlocking position 34, as will be explained in more detail below.

The locking device 27 and the actuating element 19 is executed quasi in Tastschaltfunktion, i. the actuating element 19 and the locking device 27 is automatically after the elimination of the actuating force by the action of the spring element 33 back into the locking position 29 via. In particular, preferably no latching is provided with which the actuating element 19 could be held in the unlocked position or with which the locking device 27 could be permanently held in the unlocked position 34.

The locking device 27 and the pin 21 is in the unlocked position 34, a release of the connector between the extension 15 and the recess 17 is made possible. In this unlocking position 34 comes an exemption 35 or circumferential constriction of the bolt 21 at least partially overlapping with an inner surface 36 and an inner boundary surface of the recess 17. In particular, the release 35 in the unlocked position 34 at least approximately the N2003 / 15300 • * * * * · · · · · · · · · * · · · · · «· ·

The full cross-section of the recess 17 within the retaining element 11 is free, so that a separation between two retaining elements 10, 11 joined together in a form-fitting manner is made possible.

In FIGS. 7 to 11, the embodiment of the fastening device 2 according to FIG. 3 is shown in detail. For parts already described above, the same reference numerals are used and the preceding descriptions are mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals transferable.

One of the differences from the previously described embodiments lies in this embodiment in that the screw 12, in particular its screw is screwed via an internal thread in the extension 15 directly to the extension 15, as best seen in Fig. 10 can be seen. Further, in this case, the extension 15 in the lower end portion of a polygonal profiling, preferably a square profiling to during assembly, e.g. by means of a wrench to be able to apply a counter or holding torque for the attachment of the holding element 10 to a sanitary ware.

The holding element 10 further comprises a preferably cambered on the upper side or arched or truncated cone-shaped Abstützscheibe 37, with which the support member 10 and the extension 15 is supported on the surface or the top of a sanitary ware. Below this support plate 37, an intermediate layer 38 is preferably formed of an elastomer. This intermediate layer 38 serves on the one hand to compensate for certain unevenness of the surface of the ceramic and to avoid damage to the surface of sanitary ware and on the other hand to achieve a possible slip-resistant or stable fixing of the holding element 10 on the sanitary object 3 (FIG. This elastomeric intermediate layer 38 is preferably also provided in the previously described embodiments of the fastening device 2.

The substantially cylindrically shaped holding element 11 has a profiled recess or bore for the storage or formation of the pivot bearing 8 and / or for receiving the previously described joint damping or pivoting motion damping, which runs transversely to the recess 17. Of course, it is also possible, instead of a recess, to form a journal extension on the retaining element 11 in order to realize the pivot bearing 8 for the sanitary element 1 (FIG. 3).

The coupling connection between the holding elements 10,11 in this case further comprises a centering device 39, with which it can be ensured that the holding elements 10,11 coupled as free of play or wobble together and can be aligned as exactly as possible. However, the centering device 39 can also be used to facilitate the joining together of the holding elements 10, 11, e.g. after cleaning the sanitary items to achieve. In particular, the mating or joining of the holding elements 10,11 can be significantly facilitated by means of this centering device 39 for an operator. The centering device 39 preferably comprises mutually corresponding conical surfaces 40, 41 on the extension 15 and in the recess 17. In particular, a so-called outer cone is formed on the extension 15, which cooperates with a so-called inner cone or inner conical surfaces 41 of the holding element 11 or the recess 17. as best seen in Fig. 10 can be seen. As a result of the initial cross-section of the recess 17, which is widened by means of this inner cone, it is thus also possible to facilitate fitting onto the essentially cylindrical or pin-shaped extension 15.

As further best seen in Fig. 10 it can be seen, the locking device 27 and the coupling device 18 in the assembled state of the holding elements 10, 11 exert a defined contact pressure between the two holding elements 10,11, so via the centering device 39 and the conical surfaces 40th , 41 a stable and largely play-free connection between the holding elements 10,11 is ensured.

The demand-releasable coupling device 18 between the holding elements 10, 11 is constructed substantially in accordance with the preceding embodiments. This means that in this case too an actuating element 19, which is preferably designed as a pushbutton 22, is formed, which is linearly adjustable between a locking position 29 (FIG. 8) and an unlocking position 34 (FIG. 9). Again, a certain operating pressure is exerted on the actuating element 19, so that the actuating element 19 in the unlocked position 34 - as shown in FIG. 9 - remains. Namely, the spring element 33 integrated into the holding element 11, in particular into the bore 30, constantly urges the actuating element 19 designed as a bolt 31 into the quasi-extended locking position 29 according to FIG. 8. N2003 / 15300 - 15

In this locking position 29, at least one lying within the holding element 11 Stimende 42 of the bolt 21 from a cross-sectional constriction in the recess 17 and thus prevents easy removal of the retaining element 11 relative to the holding element 10. Preferably, this pin locking means of the bolt 21 and the locking groove 28th a positive lock, which causes a separation of the coupling device 18 either not at all or only under relatively high expenditure of force is possible.

Optionally, corresponding Abweisungsflächen may be formed in the locking groove 28 and / or on the bolt 21 or alternatively, the positioning and dimensioning of the locking groove 28 and the pin 21 may be made such that upon the occurrence of increased separation forces an automatic opening of the locking device 29 occurs before Damage caused. In this case, the bolt 21 would at least partially and automatically move against the action of the spring element 33 in the unlocked position 34.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least one bevel 43 or rounding is formed as a contact slope or repulsion surface on the pin 21 and / or on the pin-shaped extension 15. These chamfers 43 or corresponding Abweiserflächen are executed or dimensioned such that at least one automatically snapping coupling connection between the holding elements 10,11 is created. In particular, it is by means of this on the holding element 10 and / or on the holding element 11 out-led rounded or chamfers of the extension 15 and the recess 17 allows to create an automated snap connection for automatic engagement between the holding elements 10,11, without the actuator 22 actively actuated or would have to be converted into the unlocked position 34. Such an embodiment offers during the assembly or when placing the sanitary element 1 (Fig. 3) on the sanitary object 3 (Fig. 3) significant handling advantages or facilities for the user. Preferably, only an automated snapping between the holding elements 10,11 is provided, whereas a release between the holding elements 10,11 is preferably prevented during the application of separation forces in a wide range of forces. In particular, this clear assembly or operating advantages are achieved and is still a reliable and stable coupling device N2003 / 15300 -16-5 t • · # #. Created between the holding elements 10,11, which is preferably unlocked only by active or conscious actuation of the actuating element 19 ···.

Preferably, the actuating element 19 is designed as a pressure member. Alternatively, it would also be possible to carry out the actuating element 19 as a tension member, which must be actively pulled against the action of a spring force in order to reach the unlocking position. However, such a train execution has the disadvantage compared to a Druckbetätigungsausführung that a corresponding actuator must be relatively large or bulky executed in order to be taken safely or comfortably. In comparison, the actuator 19 in the preferred embodiment as a push button 22 can be made relatively small and is still a safe or comfortable operation allows without causing adverse effects on the external appearance of the fastening device 2.

The Ausfiihrungsbeispiele show possible embodiments of the fastening device 2, wherein it should be noted at this point that the invention is not limited to the specifically illustrated embodiments of the same, but also various combinations of the individual embodiments are mutually possible and this possibility of variation due to the teaching of technical action representational invention in the skill of those skilled in this technical field. There are therefore also all possible embodiments, which are possible by combinations of individual details of the illustrated and described embodiment, the scope of protection.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the structure of the fastening device 2, these or their components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.
