Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung von sanitärkeramischen Gegenständen, wie Toiletten, Bidets, Urinalen, Waschbecken, Halbsäulen und Standsäulen, am Boden und/oder an der Wand.The invention relates to a device for fastening sanitary ceramic objects, such as toilets, bidets, urinals, sinks, half-columns and pedestals, on the floor and / or on the wall.

Bei der Befestigung sanitärkeramischer Gegenstände am Boden oder an der Wand besteht allgemein das Problem, daß beim Festziehen der jeweiligen Befestigungselemente infolge mangelnder Ausrichtung der einzelnen Teile zueinander Kräfte auftreten, die zu einer ungleichmäßigen Verteilung der wirksamen Anzugskräfte und insbesondere zu Druckspitzen an bestimmten Stellen im Material der sanitärkeramischen Gegenstände führen können, wodurch Ausbrechungen und Risse entstehen können.When fixing sanitary ceramic objects on the floor or on the wall there is generally the problem that when tightening the respective fasteners due to lack of alignment of the individual parts forces occur which lead to an uneven distribution of the effective tightening forces and in particular to pressure peaks at certain points in the material of the can lead to sanitary ceramic objects, which can cause breakouts and cracks.

Aus der EP-OS 0 504 587 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung sanitärkeramischer Gegenstände an der Wand bekannt, bei der in der Wand zwei parallel zueinander und in vorgegebenem Abstand verlaufende Gewindestangen verankert sind, auf die der sanitärkeramische Gegenstand derart aufgeschoben wird, daß die Gewindestangen aus einer Wandfläche des Körpers herausragen. Auf diese herausragenden Enden wird jeweils ein aus einem Stütz- und einem Spannteil bestehender Spannblock aufgeschraubt, der den sanitärkeramischen Gegenstand an die Wand anpreßt und auf diese Weise mit Hilfe der Gewindestangen befestigt. Diese Vorrichtung ermöglicht zwar eine sichere und weitgehend spannungsfreie Befestigung an der Wand; jedoch ist die Herstellung der mit prismenförmigen Querschnitten ausgebildeten Spannblöcke aufwendig. Schließlich können Ausbrechungen an den schmalen Auflagestellen zwischen Stützteil und Spannteil auftreten.From EP-OS 0 504 587 a device for fastening sanitary ceramic objects 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 ceramic object is pushed in such a way that the threaded rods are made of protrude from a wall surface of the body. A clamping block consisting of a support and a clamping part is screwed onto these protruding ends, which presses the sanitary ceramic object against the wall and fastens in this way with the aid of the threaded rods. This device allows a secure and largely tension-free attachment to the wall; however, the production of the clamping blocks designed with prism-shaped cross sections is complex. Finally, breakouts can occur at the narrow support points between the support part and the clamping part.

Aus dem DE-GM 93 03 865 ist weiterhin eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Sanitärkörpers mittels Gewindestangen an einer Wand bekannt, bei der der Sanitärkörper durch zwei jeweils in Querrichtung auf eine Gewindestange aufsetzbare Unterlagen mittels jeweils einer Mutter gegen eine Anlagefläche der Wand anpreßbar ist. Die Muttern sind durch jeweils eine Öffnung im Sanitärkörper auf die freien Enden der Gewindestangen aufschraubbar und anziehbar. Obwohl sich hiermit eine einfache und sichere Befestigung eines sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes an einer Wand ergibt, hat die bekannte Konstruktion den Nachteil, daß spezielle Aufnahmeöffnungen, Anlageflächen am Sanitärkörper und seitliche Öffnungen im Sanitärkörper für den Zugang zu den Muttern ausgebildet werden müssen. Hierdurch wird nicht nur die Herstellung der sanitärkeramischen Gegenstände erschwert und verteuert; es ergeben sich auch Einschränkungen hinsichtlich der Formgebung für die sanitärkeramischen Gegenstände.From DE-GM 93 03 865 a device for fastening a sanitary body by means of threaded rods on a wall is also known, in which the sanitary body can be pressed against a contact surface of the wall by means of two documents which can each be placed transversely on a threaded rod by means of a nut. The nuts can be screwed and tightened through an opening in the sanitary body onto the free ends of the threaded rods. Although this results in a simple and secure attachment of a sanitary ceramic object to a wall, the known construction has the disadvantage that special receiving openings, contact surfaces on the sanitary body and lateral openings in the sanitary body must be formed for access to the nuts. This not only makes the manufacture of sanitary ceramic objects more difficult and more expensive; there are also restrictions regarding the shape of the sanitary ceramic objects.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung von sanitärkeramischen Gegenständen am Boden und/oder an der Wand zu schaffen, die nicht nur eine einfache und sichere Montage und Demontage ohne die Gefahr von Beschädigungen an den sanitärkeramischen Gegenständen ermöglicht, sondern auch Beeinträchtigungen hinsichtlich der Formgestaltung der sanitärkeramischen Gegenstände vermeidet.The invention has for its object to provide a device for fastening sanitary ceramic objects on the floor and / or on the wall, which not only enables easy and safe assembly and disassembly without the risk of damage to the sanitary ceramic objects, but also with regard to impairments avoids the design of the sanitary ceramic objects.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in einer Aussparung des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes ein Bolzen drehbar gelagert ist, auf dem eine mit einer spiralabschnittförmigen Anzugsfläche versehene, in ein bügelförmiges Gegenstück eingreifende Spannscheibe unverdrehbar angeordnet ist.The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that a bolt is rotatably mounted in a recess of the sanitary ceramic object, on which a tensioning disc, which is provided with a spiral section-shaped surface and engages in a bow-shaped counterpart, is non-rotatably arranged.

Die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung hat den Vorteil, unsichtbar im Inneren des jeweiligen sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes angeordnet zu sein. Sie ermöglicht nicht nur eine schnelle und einfache Montage und Demontage durch Verdrehen des Bolzens um einen geringen Drehwinkel von etwa 90°, sondern erzeugt beim Befestigen eine gleichmäßig zunehmende, gegen den Boden oder die Wand gerichtete Anzugskraft, so daß der sanitärkeramische Gegenstand mit einer auf den Einzelfall abgestimmten Anpreßkraft am Boden bzw. an der Wand anliegt. Schließlich ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung einen Ausgleich vorhandener Toleranzen sowohl in Richtung auf die Wand bzw. den Boden als auch in den beiden hierzu rechtwinklig verlaufenden Richtungen, so daß mit der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung ein sicherer Halt auch bei unvermeidbar auftretenden Toleranzen gewährleistet ist.The fastening device according to the invention has the advantage of being arranged invisibly inside the respective sanitary ceramic object. It doesn't just allow one quick and easy assembly and disassembly by turning the bolt by a small angle of rotation of about 90 °, but generates a uniformly increasing tightening force against the floor or wall when fastening, so that the sanitary ceramic object with a contact force on the floor that is tailored to the individual case or against the wall. Finally, the fastening device according to the invention makes it possible to compensate for existing tolerances both in the direction of the wall or the floor and in the two directions running at right angles thereto, so that the fastening device according to the invention ensures a secure hold even when tolerances occur which are unavoidable.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist an der außenliegenden Stirnfläche des Bolzens eine Schlüsselfläche, vorzugsweise ein Innensechskant, für ein Werkzeug ausgebildet. Die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung kann somit mittels handelsüblicher Drehwerkzeuge betätigt werden.According to a further feature of the invention, a wrench surface, preferably an internal hexagon, for a tool is formed on the outer end face of the bolt. The fastening device according to the invention can thus be actuated by means of commercially available turning tools.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Bolzen in einem in die Aussparungen des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes eingesetzten Lagerteil, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, drehbar gelagert. Durch Verwendung dieses Lagerteiles lassen sich Druckspitzen im sanitärkeramischen Gegenstand vermeiden.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bolt is rotatably mounted in a bearing part, preferably made of plastic, which is inserted into the cutouts of the sanitary ceramic object. By using this bearing part, pressure peaks in the sanitary ceramic object can be avoided.

Um die rechtwinklige Lage des Bolzens zur Innenfläche des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes zu gewährleisten, ist das Lagerteil gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung mit einem sich an der Innenseite des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes abstützenden Flansch versehen.In order to ensure the right-angled position of the bolt in relation to the inner surface of the sanitary ceramic object, the bearing part is provided according to a further feature of the invention with a flange which is supported on the inside of the sanitary ceramic object.

Mit der Erfindung wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, den Bolzen auf seinem innenliegenden Ende mit einem Außengewinde für eine die Spannscheibe auf dem Bolzen festlegende und zugleich den Bolzen über das Lagerteil in der Aussparung des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes festlegende Mutter versehen. Hierdurch wird die Anzahl der erforderlichen Bauteile für die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung verringert.With the invention it is further proposed to provide the bolt on its inner end with an external thread for a nut which fixes the clamping washer on the bolt and at the same time fixes the bolt via the bearing part in the recess of the sanitary ceramic object. This will make the number of the necessary components for the fastening device according to the invention is reduced.

Schließlich wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, die Spannscheibe durch auf dem Bolzen ausgebildete Planflächen und entsprechende Gegenflächen an der Spannscheibe formschlüssig gegen Verdrehen zu sichern. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, daß die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung auch nach längerer Zeit eine problemlose Demontage des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes ermöglicht.Finally, it is proposed with the invention to secure the tensioning washer against rotation by means of plane surfaces formed on the bolt and corresponding counter surfaces on the tensioning washer. This ensures that the fastening device according to the invention allows easy removal of the sanitary ceramic object even after a long period of time.

Die in den Fig. 3 und 4 anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels dargestellte Befestigungsvorrichtung dient zur Befestigung beispielsweise eines Stand-WC gemäß Fig. 1 auf dem Boden B bzw. eines Urinals gemäß Fig. 2 an einer Wand W. In beiden Fällen wird der sanitärkeramische Gegenstand 1 mittels einer auf einem Bolzen 2 angeordneten Spannscheibe 3 an einem bügelförmigen Gegenstück 4 befestigt, das am Boden B bzw. an der Wand W angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise werden jeweils zwei derartige Befestigungsvorrichtungen für jeden sanitärkeramischen Gegenstand 1 verwendet.The fastening device shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 using an exemplary embodiment is used for fastening, for example, a floor-standing toilet according to FIG. 1 on floor B or a urinal according to FIG. 2 to a wall W. In both cases, the sanitary ceramic object 1 attached to a bow-shaped counterpart 4, which is arranged on the bottom B or on the wall W, by means of a tensioning disk 3 arranged on a bolt 2 is. Preferably, two such fastening devices are used for each sanitary ceramic object 1.

Wie am besten die Fig. 4 erkennen läßt, ist der Bolzen 2 in einer Aussparung 1a des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 angeordnet, die vorzugsweise in einer Seitenwand in der Art einer kreisrunden Öffnung ausgebildet ist. Der mit einer Schlüsselfläche 2a versehene Kopf des Bolzens 2 stützt sich über eine Lagerscheibe 5 an der Außenseite des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 ab. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Schlüsselfläche 2a als Innensechskant ausgeführt.As can best be seen in FIG. 4, the bolt 2 is arranged in a recess 1a of the sanitary ceramic object 1, which is preferably formed in a side wall in the manner of a circular opening. The head of the bolt 2, which is provided with a key surface 2a, is supported on the outside of the sanitary ceramic object 1 via a bearing disc 5. In the embodiment, the key surface 2a is designed as a hexagon socket.

Um eine stets rechtwinklige Ausrichtung des Bolzens 2 zu der mit der Aussparung 1a versehenen Wand des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 sicherzustellen, ist der Bolzen 2 in einem vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff hergestellten Lagerteil 6 drehbar gelagert, das sich mit einem Flansch 6a an der Innenseite der mit der Aussparung 1a versehenen Wand des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 abstützt.In order to ensure that the bolt 2 is always at right angles to the wall of the sanitary ceramic object 1 provided with the recess 1a, the bolt 2 is rotatably mounted in a bearing part 6, which is preferably made of plastic and has a flange 6a on the inside of the one with the recess 1a provided wall of the sanitary ceramic object 1 supports.

Das Ende des Bolzens 2 ist nicht nur mit einem Gewinde 2b für eine Mutter 2c, sondern mit mindestens einer Planfläche 2d versehen, durch die die mit einer entsprechenden Gegenfläche 3a ausgebildete Spannscheibe 3 unverdrehbar auf dem Bolzen 2 gehalten wird, und zwar unter Zwischenfügen einer Unterlegscheibe 7 durch die Mutter 2c, die zugleich den Bolzen 2 über die Lagerscheibe 5 und das Lagerteil 6 in der Aussparung 1a des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 drehbar lagert.The end of the bolt 2 is not only provided with a thread 2b for a nut 2c, but also with at least one flat surface 2d, by means of which the tensioning disc 3, which is designed with a corresponding counter surface 3a, is held non-rotatably on the bolt 2, with the interposition of a washer 7 by the nut 2c, which at the same time rotatably supports the bolt 2 via the bearing washer 5 and the bearing part 6 in the recess 1a of the sanitary ceramic object 1.

Die unverdrehbar auf dem Bolzen 2 angeordnete Spannscheibe 3 ist mit einer spiralabschnittförmigen Anzugsfläche 3b versehen, wie dies am besten in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist. Mit dieser Anzugsfläche 3b untergreift die Spannscheibe 3 eine am Gegenstück 4 ausgebildete Stützfläche 4a, die in Fig. 4 gekennzeichnet ist.The tensioning disk 3, which is non-rotatably arranged on the bolt 2, is provided with a spiral section-shaped tightening surface 3b, as can best be seen in FIG. 3. With this tightening surface 3b, the clamping disk 3 engages under a support surface 4a formed on the counterpart 4, which is identified in FIG. 4.

Die Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen weiterhin, daß das Gegenstück 4 in der Art eines Winkels ausgeführt ist, der mit zwei Schraubenlöchern 4b zur Befestigung am Boden B bzw. an der Wand W und im anderen Schenkel mit einer die Stützfläche 4a bildenden Öffnung versehen ist.3 and 4 also show that the counterpart 4 is designed in the manner of an angle which is provided with two screw holes 4b for attachment to the floor B or to the wall W and in the other leg with an opening forming the support surface 4a .

Vor der Montage des jeweiligen sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 am Boden B bzw. an der Wand W werden dessen Spannscheiben 3 derart ausgerichtet, daß die spiralabschnittförmige Anzugsfläche 3b seitlich neben dem Gegenstück 4 endet, wenn der Gegenstand 1 entsprechend seiner endgültigen Lage auf den Boden B gestellt bzw. an die Wand W gehalten wird. Wenn nunmehr mit Hilfe eines Drehwerkzeuges der Bolzen 2 mit der auf ihm befestigten Spannscheibe 3 gedreht wird, gelangt die Spannscheibe 3 mit ihrer Anzugsfläche 3b in die Öffnung des Gegenstückes 4, wie dies insbesondere in Fig. 3 mit strichpunktierten Linien zu erkennen ist. In dieser Stellung greift die Anzugsfläche 3b an der Stützfläche 4a des Gegenstückes 4 an. Durch den spiralabschnittförmigen Verlauf der Anzugsfläche 3b bewirkt ein weiteres Verdrehen des Bolzens 2 ein zunehmendes Andrücken des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 entweder am Boden B oder an der Wand W. Der spiralförmige Verlauf der Anzugsfläche 3b ergibt eine kontinuierlich zunehmende Anpreßkraft und ermöglicht darüber hinaus den Ausgleich etwaiger Toleranzen.Before installing the respective sanitary ceramic object 1 on the floor B or on the wall W, its clamping washers 3 are aligned in such a way that the spiral section-shaped tightening surface 3b ends laterally next to the counterpart 4 when the object 1 is placed on the floor B in accordance with its final position is held against the wall W. If, with the help of a turning tool, the bolt 2 is rotated with the tensioning disk 3 attached to it, the tensioning disk 3 with its tightening surface 3b enters the opening of the counterpart 4, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 3 with dash-dotted lines. In this position, the attraction surface 3b engages the support surface 4a of the counterpart 4. Due to the spiral section of the tightening surface 3b, a further rotation of the bolt 2 causes an increasing pressing of the sanitary ceramic object 1 either on the floor B or on the wall W. The spiral course of the tightening surface 3b results in a continuously increasing contact pressure and also enables the compensation of any tolerances .

In der endgültigen Stellung des Bolzens 2 werden dessen Kopf und die Lagerscheibe 5 durch eine Kappe 8 abgedeckt, die auf den Rand der Lagerscheibe 5 aufgesetzt wird. Da die gesamte Befestigungsvorrichtung im Inneren des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 liegt, ist lediglich diese Kappe 8 nach der Montage des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 zu sehen. Für den Fall, daß der sanitärkeramische Gegenstand 1 demontiert werden soll, wird die Kappe 8 entfernt und der Bolzen 2 in der entgegengesetzten Richtung soweit verdreht, daß die spiralabschnittförmige Anzugsfläche 3b der Spannscheibe 3 aus dem Gegenstück 4 austritt. Da die Spannscheibe 3 in Umfangsrichtung formschlüssig auf dem Bolzen 2 befestigt ist, ist eine derartige Demontage des sanitärkeramischen Gegenstandes 1 auch noch nach Jahren problemlos möglich.In the final position of the bolt 2, the head and the bearing plate 5 are covered by a cap 8 which is placed on the edge of the bearing plate 5. Since the entire fastening device lies inside the sanitary ceramic article 1, only this cap 8 can be seen after the assembly of the sanitary ceramic article 1. In the event that the sanitary ceramic object 1 is to be dismantled, the cap 8 is removed and the bolt 2 is rotated in the opposite direction to such an extent that the spiral section-shaped tightening surface 3b of the tensioning disk 3 comes out of the counterpart 4 exit. Since the clamping washer 3 is positively attached to the bolt 2 in the circumferential direction, such disassembly of the sanitary ceramic object 1 is still possible without problems even after years.
