Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines mit mindestens zwei Montageöffnungen versehenen Sanitärkörpers, insbesondere WC's, Urinals oder Bidets mittels Gewindestangen an einer Wand.The invention relates to a device for fastening a sanitary body provided with at least two assembly openings, in particular toilets, urinals or bidets, by means of threaded rods on a wall.

Bei der Befestigung derartiger Sanitärkörper, die nahe ihrer Befestigungsfläche mit zwei vorgefertigten Montageöffnungen versehen sind, besteht ganz allgemein das Problem, daß beim Festziehen der jeweiligen Befestigungselemente, d.h. in der Regel der Befestigungsschrauben, infolge mangelnder Ausrichtung der einzelnen Teile zueinander Querkräfte auftreten. Hierdurch kann es zu einer ungleichmäßigen Verteilung der wirksamen Anzugskräfte und insbesondere zu Druckspitzen an bestimmten Stellen im Material des Sanitärkörpers kommen. Oftmals ist das Material des Sanitärkörpers, insbesondere Sanitärkeramik, den hierbei auftretenden Druckbelastungen nicht gewachsen, wodurch Ausbrechungen und Rissen im Sanitärkörper entstehen können.When fastening such sanitary bodies, which are provided near their fastening surface with two prefabricated mounting openings, there is a general problem that when tightening the respective fastening elements, i.e. usually the fastening screws, lateral forces occur due to a lack of alignment of the individual parts. This can lead to an uneven distribution of the effective tightening forces and in particular to pressure peaks at certain points in the material of the sanitary body. The material of the sanitary body, in particular sanitary ceramics, is often unable to withstand the pressure loads that occur, as a result of which breakouts and cracks can occur in the sanitary body.

Aus der EP-OS 0 504 587 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Sanitärkörpers an der Wand bekannt, bei der in der Wand zwei parallel zueinander und in vorgegebenem Abstand verlaufende Gewindestangen verankert sind, auf die der Sanitärkörper derart aufgeschoben wird, daß die Gewindestangen aus einer Wandfläche des Sanitärkörpers herausragen. Auf diese herausragenden Enden wird jeweils ein aus einem Stütz- und einem Spannteil bestehender Spannblock aufgeschraubt, der den Sanitärkörper an die Wand anpreßt und auf diese Weise mit Hilfe der Gewindestangen befestigt. Diese Vorrichtung ermöglicht zwar eine sichere und weitgehend spannungsfreie Befestigung des Sanitärkörpers an der Wand, jedoch ist die Fertigung der mit prismenförmigen Querschnitten ausgebildeten Spannblöcke sehr aufwendig, und es können darüber hinaus Ausbrechungen an den schmalen Auflagestellen zwischen Stützteil und Spannteil auftreten.From EP-OS 0 504 587 a device for fastening a sanitary body to the wall is known, in which two threaded rods are anchored in the wall and run parallel to one another and at a predetermined distance, onto which the sanitary body is pushed in such a way that the threaded rods are made from one Project the wall surface of the sanitary unit. A clamping block consisting of a support and a clamping part is screwed onto these protruding ends, which presses the sanitary body against the wall and in this way with the aid of the threaded rods attached. Although this device enables a secure and largely tension-free attachment of the sanitary body to the wall, the manufacture of the clamping blocks formed with prism-shaped cross sections is very complex, and it can also break out at the narrow support points between the support part and the clamping part.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine wandseitige Befestigung für einen mit mindestens zwei vorgefertigten Montageöffnungen versehenen Sanitärkörper zu schaffen, die eine sichere und dauerhafte Montage des Sanitärkörpers ermöglicht, ohne daß es infolge der bei der Montage aufgewendeten Anzugskräfte zu Zerstörungen am Sanitärkörper kommen kann, wobei die Befestigungselemente nur aus wenigen und einfach geformten Bauteilen bestehen sollen.Proceeding from this, the invention has for its object to provide a wall-side fastening for a sanitary body provided with at least two prefabricated assembly openings, which enables safe and permanent assembly of the sanitary body without it being possible for the sanitary body to be destroyed as a result of the tightening forces applied during assembly , The fasteners should consist of only a few and simply shaped components.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Sanitärkörper durch zwei jeweils in Querrichtung auf eine Gewindestange aufsetzbare Unterlagen mittels jeweils einer Mutter gegen eine Anlagefläche der Wand anpreßbar ist, wobei die Muttern durch jeweils eine Öffnung im Sanitärkörper auf die freien Enden der Gewindestangen aufschraubbar und anziehbar sind.To solve this problem, it is proposed that the sanitary body can be pressed against a contact surface of the wall by means of two supports, each of which can be placed transversely on a threaded rod, the nuts being screwable and tightenable through an opening in the sanitary body onto the free ends of the threaded rods are.

Eine solcherart ausgebildete Befestigungsvorrichtung hat den Vorteil, eine einfache und sichere Befestigung des Sanitärkörpers an der Wand zu ermöglichen, ohne daß bei der Montage zu große Flächenpressungen auftreten können, die zu Beschädigungen oder gar Zerstörungen am Sanitärkörper führen.A fastening device designed in this way has the advantage of allowing simple and secure fastening of the sanitary body to the wall without excessive surface pressures occurring during assembly, which can lead to damage or even destruction of the sanitary body.

Um die auf die Gewindestange aufgeschraubte Mutter durch die Öffnung im Sanitärkörper, d.h. von der Seite her anziehen zu können, ist die Mutter als mit radial verlaufenden Sacklochbohrungen versehene Kreuzlochmutter ausgebildet. Hierdurch ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, mittels eines entsprechenden Werkzeuges, das in die Sacklochbohrungen der Kreuzlochmutter gesteckt wird, diese Mutter in einfacher Weise von der Seite her anzuziehen oder zu lösen.In order to be able to tighten the nut screwed onto the threaded rod through the opening in the sanitary body, ie from the side, the nut is designed as a cross-hole nut provided with radially running blind holes. This gives the possibility of using a suitable tool that is inserted into the blind holes of the cross hole nut to easily tighten or loosen this nut from the side.

Die zwischen Mutter und Sanitärkörper angeordnete Unterlage ist als U-förmiger Körper ausgebildet, so daß die Unterlage von der Seite her durch die Öffnung im Sanitärkörper auf die Gewindestange aufgeschoben werden kann. Aufgrund der U-förmigen Ausgestaltung der Unterlage muß die Mutter nicht vollständig von der Gewindestange abgeschraubt werden, wenn die Unterlage ausgetauscht oder eine zusätzliche Unterlage aufgesetzt werden soll.The underlay arranged between the mother and the sanitary body is designed as a U-shaped body, so that the underlay can be pushed onto the threaded rod from the side through the opening in the sanitary body. Due to the U-shaped design of the base, the nut does not have to be completely unscrewed from the threaded rod when the base is to be replaced or an additional base is to be put on.

Bei einer praktischen Ausführungsform ist die Unterlage zweilagig so ausgebildet, daß die an der Anlagefläche des Sanitärkörpers anliegende Fläche aus einem Kunststoffmaterial besteht. Die Verwendung eines Kunststoffmaterials als Anlagefläche an den Sanitärkörper hat den Vorteil, daß der Sanitärkörper auch bei großen Anzugsmomenten der Mutter geschützt wird, da sich das Kunststoffmaterial bei einem hohen Anpreßdruck plastisch verformen kann und auch ein Verschieben der Unterlage zu keinen Beschädigungen des Sanitärkörpers führt.In a practical embodiment, the base is formed in two layers so that the surface lying on the contact surface of the sanitary body consists of a plastic material. The use of a plastic material as a contact surface on the sanitary body has the advantage that the sanitary body is protected even with large tightening torques of the nut, since the plastic material can plastically deform at a high contact pressure and even a shifting of the base does not damage the sanitary body.

Um ein Aufliegen des Sanitärkörpers auf den Gewindestangen zu vermeiden, ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung auf der Gewindestange zwischen dem Spannblock und der Wand ein Tragblock angeordnet, auf dem der Sanitärkörper in senkrechter Richtung aufliegt. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine definierte und größere Auflagefläche, welche ebenfalls hohe Flächenpressungen vermeidet und damit eine Schonung der Sanitärkeramik darstellt.In order to avoid the sanitary body resting on the threaded rods, according to a further feature of the invention, a supporting block is arranged on the threaded rod between the clamping block and the wall, on which the sanitary body rests in the vertical direction. This results in a defined and larger contact surface, which also avoids high surface pressures and thus protects the sanitary ware.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung kann zwischen der Unterlage und der Mutter eine weitere Unterlage angeordnet sein.According to a further feature of the invention, a further base can be arranged between the base and the nut.

Diese weitere Unterlage kann beispielsweise dafür vorgesehen sein zu verhindern, daß sich mit dem Anziehen der Mutter die am Sanitärkörper anliegende U-förmige Unterlage verdrehen und schlimmstenfalls von der Gewindestange abrutschen kann, wenn die Öffnung der U-förmigen Unterlage senkrecht nach oben zeigt.This additional pad can be provided, for example, to prevent the U-shaped pad lying against the sanitary body from twisting when the nut is tightened and, in the worst case, from slipping off the threaded rod when the opening of the U-shaped pad points vertically upward.

Die schematische Darstellung in Fig. 1 läßt erkennen, wie ein als wandhängendes WC ausgebildeter Sanitärkörper 1 mittels zweier Gewindestangen 2 an einer Wand 3 befestigt wird. Die hierzu verwendete Befestigungsvorrichtung ist in ihrer Arbeitsstellung in Fig. 2 und anhand der Darstellung ihrer Einzelteile in Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigt.The schematic representation in FIG. 1 shows how a sanitary body 1 designed as a wall-hung toilet is attached to a wall 3 by means of two threaded rods 2. The fastening device used for this is shown in its working position in FIG. 2 and on the basis of the representation of its individual parts in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Diese Befestigungsvorrichtung besteht aus einem Tragblock 4, zwei Unterlagen 5 und 6 sowie einer Mutter 7, die insgesamt auf der Gewindestange 2 angeordnet sind. Der Tragblock 4 ist mit einer Durchgangsöffnung 4a versehen, so daß er auf eine aus der Wand 3 herausragende Gewindestange 2 aufgesteckt werden kann. Er liegt vorzugsweise gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 2 an der Fläche der Wand 3 an, so daß sich der zu befestigende Sanitärkörper 1 über den Tragblock 4 auf der Gewindestange 2 mit geringstmöglichem Hebelarm abstützt. Die zwischen Tragblock 4 und Sanitärkörper 1 gebildete Tragfläche ist ausreichend groß bemessen, so daß auch hohe senkrechte Kräfte übertragen werden können.This fastening device consists of a support block 4, two documents 5 and 6 and a nut 7, which are arranged overall on the threaded rod 2. The support block 4 is provided with a through opening 4a so that it can be plugged onto a threaded rod 2 protruding from the wall 3. It rests preferably on the surface of the wall 3 as shown in FIG. 2, so that the sanitary body 1 to be fastened is supported by the support block 4 on the threaded rod 2 with the smallest possible lever arm. The wing formed between the support block 4 and the sanitary body 1 is dimensioned large enough so that even high vertical forces can be transmitted.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich und durch die gestrichelten Linien in Fig. 1 angedeutet, ist der Sanitärkörper 1 im rückwärtigen Seitenbereich jeweils mit einer kastenförmigen Anformung 1a versehen, die insbesondere mit der Seitenwand des Sanitärkörpers 1 verbunden ist und einen Innenraum 1b bildet, in welchem der Tragblock 5 zu liegen kommt, wenn der Sanitärkörper 1 auf die mit der Befestigungsvorrichtung versehenen Gewindestangen 2 aufgesetzt wird. Über eine in der Zeichnung nicht erkennbare waagerechte Fläche stützt sich die kastenförmige Anformung 1a des Sanitärkörpers 1 auf dem senkrecht ausgerichteten Tragblock 4 ab, so daß bei geringer Flächenpressung hohe Kräfte übertragen werden können.As can be seen from Fig. 2 and indicated by the dashed lines in Fig. 1, the sanitary body 1 is provided in the rear side area with a box-shaped projection 1a, which is connected in particular to the side wall of the sanitary body 1 and forms an interior 1b, in which the support block 5 comes to rest when the sanitary body 1 is placed on the threaded rods 2 provided with the fastening device. The box-shaped formation 1a of the sanitary body 1 is supported on the vertically aligned support block 4 by a horizontal surface which cannot be seen in the drawing, so that high forces can be transmitted at a low surface pressure.

Zur Montage des Sanitärkörpers 1 werden zuerst die Tragblöcke 4 auf die Gewindestangen 2 aufgesetzt und anschließend der Sanitärkörper 1 so auf die Gewindestangen 2 aufgesetzt, daß diese in die Montageöffnungen 8 des Sanitärkörpers 1 eingreifen und die Tragblöcke 4 in den Innenräumen 1b der Anformungen 1a zu liegen kommen. In der parallel zur Rückseite des Sanitärkörpers 1 verlaufenden Wand der kastenförmigen Anformung 1a ist eine Durchtrittsöffnung 1c ausgebildet, durch die die Gewindestange 2 bei der Montage hindurchgesteckt wird.To assemble the sanitary body 1, the support blocks 4 are first placed on the threaded rods 2 and then the sanitary body 1 is placed on the threaded rods 2 so that they engage in the mounting openings 8 of the sanitary body 1 and the support blocks 4 lie in the interior 1b of the formations 1a come. In the wall of the box-shaped projection 1a, which runs parallel to the rear of the sanitary body 1, a passage opening 1c is formed, through which the threaded rod 2 is inserted during assembly.

Um den Sanitärkörper 1 gegen eine Anlagefläche 9 der Wand 3 oder eines Bodens anpressen zu können, wird auf das freie Ende der Gewindestange 2 die Mutter 7 aufgeschraubt und der Sanitärkörper 1 durch Anziehen der Mutter 7 gegen die Anlagefläche 9 gedrückt.In order to be able to press the sanitary body 1 against a contact surface 9 of the wall 3 or a floor, the nut 7 is screwed onto the free end of the threaded rod 2 and the sanitary body 1 is pressed against the contact surface 9 by tightening the nut 7.

Damit die Mutter 7 auf das freie Ende der Gewindestange 2 aufgeschraubt werden kann, sind in den seitlichen Flächen des Sanitärkörpers 1 Öffnungen 1d ausgebildet. Die Mutter 7 ist als mit radial verlaufenden Sacklochbohrungen 10 versehene Kreuzlochmutter ausgebildet, so daß die Mutter leicht unter Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeuges von der Seite durch die Öffnung 1d angezogen und wieder gelöst werden kann. Damit die Mutter 7 nicht direkt am Sanitärkörper 1 anliegt, ist zwischen Mutter 7 und Sanitärkörper 1 eine Unterlage 5 angeordnet, die eine bessere Verteilung des Anpreßdrucks gewährleistet und direkte mechanische Beschädigungen am Sanitärkörper 1 durch die Mutter 7 verhindert. Wie aus Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich, ist die Unterlage 5 U-förmig mit einer Öffnung 5a ausgebildet, so daß die Unterlage 5 durch die Öffnung 1d im Sanitärkörper 1 in Querrichtung auf die Gewindestange 2 aufgesteckt werden kann, ohne daß die Mutter 7 von der Gewindestange 2 abgeschraubt werden muß. Die dargestellte Unterlage 5 ist zweilagig so ausgebildet, daß die Anlagefläche 5b der Unterlage 5 am Sanitärkörper 1 als Kunststofflage 5c ausgebildet ist. Diese Kunststofflage 5c vermindert die Gefahr der Beschädigung des Sanitärkörpers 1, da sich das Kunststoffmaterial plastisch verformen kann.So that the nut 7 can be screwed onto the free end of the threaded rod 2, openings 1d are formed in the lateral surfaces of the sanitary body. The nut 7 is designed as a cross-hole nut provided with radially extending blind bores 10, so that the nut can be easily tightened and loosened from the side through the opening 1d with the aid of a tool. So that the nut 7 does not lie directly on the sanitary body 1, a base 5 is arranged between the nut 7 and the sanitary body 1, which ensures a better distribution of the contact pressure and prevents direct mechanical damage to the sanitary body 1 by the nut 7. 3 and 4, the base 5 is U-shaped with an opening 5a, so that the base 5 can be plugged through the opening 1d in the sanitary body 1 in the transverse direction onto the threaded rod 2 without the nut 7 from the threaded rod 2 must be unscrewed. The illustrated pad 5 is formed in two layers so that the contact surface 5b of the pad 5 on the sanitary body 1 is formed as a plastic layer 5c. This plastic layer 5c reduces the risk of damage to the sanitary body 1, since the plastic material can deform plastically.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist zwischen Mutter 7 und Unterlage 5 eine zweite Unterlage 6 angeordnet. Diese Unterlage wird beispielsweise verwendet, um ein Verdrehen der U-förmigen Unterlage 5 zu verhindern, wenn die Mutter 7 angezogen wird. Die Befestigungselemente Mutter 7, Unterlage 6 sowie die obere Lage der Unterlage 5 können aus Metall hergestellt sein, da die Kontaktfläche zwischen Unterlage 5 und Sanitärkörper 1 von der Kunststofflage 5c gebildet wird und somit eine Beschädigung des Sanitärkörpers 1 durch die Metallteile ausgeschlossen werden kann.2, a second pad 6 is arranged between the nut 7 and the pad 5. This pad is used, for example, to prevent the U-shaped pad 5 from rotating when the nut 7 is tightened. The fastening elements nut 7, base 6 and the upper layer of the base 5 can be made of metal, since the contact surface is formed between the base 5 and the sanitary body 1 by the plastic layer 5c and thus damage to the sanitary body 1 by the metal parts can be excluded.

Mittels einer erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung besteht somit die Möglichkeit, einen Sanitärkörper 1 auf einfache Weise und unter Zuhilfenahme einfach und preiswert herstellbarer Befestigungselemente an einer Wand 3 oder einem Boden zu befestigen. Auch ein Lösen dieses Sanitärkörpers 1 von der Wand 3 ist auf einfache Weise möglich. Selbstverständlich können die in den Seitenflächen des Sanitärkörpers 1 ausgebildeten Öffnungen 1d durch geeignete Stopfen verschlossen werden, so daß die gesamte Befestigungsvorrichtung unsichtbar und abgedeckt im Inneren des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes untergebracht ist.By means of a fastening device according to the invention it is thus possible to fasten a sanitary body 1 to a wall 3 or a floor in a simple manner and with the aid of fastening elements which can be produced simply and inexpensively. Detaching this sanitary body 1 from the wall 3 is also possible in a simple manner. Of course, the openings 1d formed in the side surfaces of the sanitary body 1 can be closed by suitable plugs, so that the entire fastening device is accommodated invisibly and covered in the interior of the sanitary ceramic object.
