Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device for a sanitary element, in particular a urinal, according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a fastening device is known from the German utility model according to DE 89 02 318 U1, which is designed as a frame construction, preferably for pre-wall installation.
  • the fastening device is assembled from vertical bars and crossbars, which are manufactured separately and connected to one another by means of screws or the like. The manufacturing effort is not negligible.
  • a sanitary cell with a U-shaped shell for covering the inlet and outlet pipes of a washbasin is known from German published patent application DE 22 49 788.
  • This bowl is designed as a support for branch pipes, connecting and connecting elements for the sink and on the bottom side with support feet Mistake. The weight of this bowl rests essentially on the base feet.
  • a stationary holding element preferably connected to a wall, which is designed as a U-shaped rail.
  • the shell is open at the top and at the bottom and on the side there are two legs which extend over the entire height of the shell and which run essentially orthogonally to the front front wall of the shell.
  • the shell extends essentially over the entire clear room height and thus serves as cladding for water pipes and drain pipes, which are arranged on the wall of the room and extend from floor to floor over the entire height of the building.
  • This sanitary cell is a rather large and bulky device, the handling and assembly of which requires considerable effort.
  • the object of the invention is to create a compact fastening device which can nevertheless be used universally.
  • the fastening device should require little production and assembly effort and the adaptation to differently designed sanitary elements, such as urinals in particular, should be achievable in a simple manner and in a functionally reliable manner.
  • the fastening device should have a low weight and yet high stability and a long service life and high functional reliability must be guaranteed.
  • the proposed fastening device contains a box-shaped base body which has a number of receptacles or openings in its front wall. These receptacles or openings are matched to the hole spacing for threaded bolts or other connecting elements of the sanitary elements.
  • the base body is expediently formed in one piece, so that complex manufacturing processes and the assembly from different individual parts are eliminated.
  • the base body is made of plastic, preferably by an injection molding process. Due to the formation of all-plastic both the base body and the connection unit to be explained below and possibly a pipe clamp for the drain pipe, corrosion problems are avoided which occur in practice with profile rails and the like made of metals, for example in cavities behind dry cladding, and a long service life of Decades is ensured.
  • the body essentially contains in addition to that plan front wall and the two side walls above an upper wall, the stability of the base body is considerably improved by the connection of the two side walls made over the upper wall.
  • the front wall is preferably plate-shaped.
  • rearward-facing walls are also present on the underside, so that there is a frame which is at least approximately closed over the circumference.
  • the basic body formed in this way has a high level of stability with little use of material and ultimately with a low weight and ensures functionally appropriate fastening of differently designed sanitary elements.
  • connection unit which is adjustable in height is arranged at the upper end of the base body.
  • this connection unit contains, in particular, an inlet unit, valves, a flushing pipe bend or the like in order to supply flushing water to the sanitary element if required.
  • the connection unit is thus designed as a receiving body for the components mentioned, which are largely pre-assembled at the factory, so that the assembly work on site is considerably reduced. Due to the height-adjustable arrangement of the connection unit, adaptation to different installation conditions and / or differently designed sanitary elements can be carried out with minimal effort. Special fastening elements for valves, pipelines or the like for the rinsing water on the masonry or on the front wall construction are not required.
  • connection unit is preferably designed such that its front edges lie essentially in the same plane as the front surface of the front wall of the base body. After mounting the fastening device, the base body and the connection unit are clad at the front by means of tiles, plates or the like, the front opening of the connection unit remaining open so that the valves and the like provided within the connection unit are easily accessible at all times.
  • the front edge can expediently protrude forward with respect to the above-mentioned plane of the surface by a predetermined amount, specifically in the order of the thickness of tiles and / or cladding panels or in the order of 10 to 20 mm.
  • the connection unit preferably contains a box and an adjustment rail, for which guide means are expediently provided behind the front wall of the base body. These guide means can preferably have an opening in the contain upper transverse wall of the base body and / or guide rails which are arranged behind the front wall.
  • connection unit is open towards the front, so that the pipes, valves or the like located within the receiving body are easily accessible even in the assembled state. After assembly, this opening on the front of the receiving body is covered with a cover plate which also contains a push button, button or the like for triggering a rinsing process.
  • a pipe clamp which is used to fix the drain pipe of the sanitary element.
  • This pipe clamp is adjustable in height and can therefore be adapted to the respective installation and assembly conditions.
  • the walls of the recess contain grooves for corresponding webs of the pipe clamp, these grooves and webs preferably being arranged horizontally.
  • the pipe clamp is thus simply inserted from the front at the required height and locked in the recess. No special tools for aligning the pipe clamp are required and a low installation wall is guaranteed.
  • the upper connection unit explained is also positioned without special tools by inserting fastening elements into corresponding grooves and / or webs and / or toothing with simple manipulations at the desired height with respect to the base body.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view from the front of the fastening device with a box-shaped base body 2.
  • the base body 2 has a substantially flat and / or plate-shaped front wall 4 and parallel to each other in the installation situation vertically aligned side walls, of which only one side wall 6 here can be seen.
  • the side wall 6 has a recess 8 which is open towards the rear and into which a fitter can engage by hand. Both side walls have recesses of this type, so that handling during installation and assembly is made considerably easier.
  • pipes, lines, supports or the like can be located in the area of the cutouts, so that the installation of the base body is advantageously not hindered thereby.
  • the base body 4 has an upper transverse wall 10 and corresponding transverse walls are also provided on the underside. These all-round, interconnected and circumferential walls, which form a frame, achieve high stability with low weight.
  • the base body is open at the rear and stiffening ribs are expediently provided between the front wall and the side and transverse walls for stiffening.
  • Slits 12 are arranged in the side wall 6 and also in the other side wall, which enable the connection of an assembly bracket 14 by means of screws or similar fastening elements.
  • the rear leg 16 according to the drawing is used for fastening to a building wall or with a frame system for pre-wall mounting. Also, via the vertical slots 12 here and, if necessary, additional slots or bores 18 in the side wall, the connection to a frame construction of a pre-wall mounting system can be made directly.
  • a number of openings 20, 21 are arranged symmetrically to a vertical longitudinal plane 22 in the front wall 4.
  • a left-hand opening 20 and a right-hand opening 21 are respectively required for the passage of a threaded bolt or the like.
  • the various openings 20, 21 are arranged such that most common sanitary elements can be connected to the base body 2.
  • the base body contains a recess 24 for a pipe clamp 26.
  • the side walls 28 of the recess contain horizontally aligned grooves 30, with which webs 32 of the pipe clamp 26 can be engaged. Consequently, the pipe clamp 26 can be pulled out of the recess 24 in the horizontal direction and inserted in the opposite direction.
  • the grooves 30 arranged vertically one above the other at predeterminable intervals enable simple alignment of the pipe clamp 26 in the longitudinal plane 22 or the vertical height.
  • the pipe clamp can be manipulated from the front in order to be able to fix the drain pipe of the sanitary element. The assembly and fixing of the drain pipe is thus carried out with very little effort.
  • a receiving unit 34 is arranged, which is adjustable in height with respect to the base body 2.
  • the receiving unit 34 contains a box 36 open at the front for receiving valves, actuating elements or the like in order to be able to supply rinsing water to the sanitary element, in particular to the urinal.
  • the guide means 39 contain, in particular, an opening 40 in the upper transverse wall 10 of the base body 2 and / or guide strips 41 or the like on the rear of the base body 2, preferably its front wall 4.
  • the receiving unit 34 can thus be positioned in height in relation to the base body 2 , so that the box 36 is at a defined distance from the base body 2, preferably from the openings or fastening points 20, 21 explained above and ultimately from the sanitary element fastened there.
  • the adjustment rail 38 protrudes through the opening 40 of the upper transverse wall 10 into the open space behind the front wall 4.
  • the adjustment rail 38 has teeth 42, 43 on its outer sides, via which, after the entire receiving unit 34 has been aligned vertically, its fixation with the base body 2 can be carried out is.
  • Fastening elements 44, 45 are used for this purpose, which engage the racks 42, 43 with parts that are not visible here and are located behind the front wall 4.
  • the fastening elements 44, 45 only have to be moved forward out of the front wall 4 in order to position the receiving unit, since they are no longer in engagement with the toothings 42, 43. No special tools are required to adjust the receiving unit, but only the fastening elements 44, 45 have to be loosened in the manner explained or brought back into engagement with the toothings 42, 43.
  • a flushing pipe 46 In the adjustment rail 38 there is also a flushing pipe 46, the upper mouth 48 of which can be seen inside the box 36. At the lower end of the flushing pipe 46, a connection 50 is provided for the inlet of the sanitary element.
  • the length of the flushing pipe 46 is specified in accordance with the requirements, and thus the distance between the connection 50 and the box 36 varies. This ensures a high degree of flexibility during assembly.
  • the front wall 4 suitably contains a downwardly extending slot 52, in which the connector body 50 can be moved and positioned accordingly.
  • the front surface of the front wall 4 lies in a plane which is oriented substantially vertically in the assembled state of the fastening device.
  • the receiving unit 34 is arranged according to the invention in such a way that it is essentially behind said plane.
  • the adjustment rail 38 satisfies this condition because it is arranged behind the front wall 4 according to the invention.
  • the box 36 is also largely arranged behind the plane formed by the surface of the front wall. In the embodiment shown here, only the front edge 37 protrudes at a predetermined distance from said plane.
  • the walls in toilets or washrooms are provided with cladding, in particular with tiles. The distance mentioned therefore corresponds to the usual thickness of such a cladding and / or the tiles mentioned.
  • the pipe connection 50 is at the lower end of the flushing pipe 46 and, depending on the length of the flushing pipe 46, the distance 54 of the pipe connection 50 from the box 36 can be predetermined. Accordingly, the distance of the connection 50 to the upper edge of the base body is of course also predetermined, taking into account the positioning of the receiving unit 34 with respect to the base body 2.
  • the toothing 42, 43 arranged on the side of the adjusting rail 38 in each case fixes the receiving unit 34 in the base body. It goes without saying that, in the context of the invention, the positioning and fixing can, in addition to the particularly expedient toothing shown here, also be carried out in a comparable manner with latching elements, snap connections or the like, if necessary.
  • Fig. 3 the pipe clamp 26 according to the invention is shown enlarged, which is formed in one piece and contains a resiliently movable lower part 54.
  • the pipe clamp 26 contains an upper bridge-like part 56 and ribs 60 reaching to the inner wall 58.
  • the lower part 54 is comparatively flexible and flexible so that it can be placed over the outer surface of a pipe.
  • the tube is tightened by means of a screw 62, which can be screwed into a corresponding thread of the lower part 54.
  • the screw 62 is arranged inclined at an angle 66 with respect to the vertical 64 such that the screw head is accessible obliquely from above from the front. A cumbersome manipulation at the rear end of the sanitary element for fixing the connecting pipe is avoided in a particularly expedient manner.
  • Fig. 4 shows the mounting bracket 14 with its horizontal slots 68, 69 for the fastening elements already mentioned.
  • the mounting bracket 14 has ribs 70 which expediently extend in the longitudinal direction.
  • the mounting bracket 14 suitably consists of plastic.
  • the base body 2 like the pipe clamp 26 and the receiving unit 34, are made of plastic. This design made of all-plastic prevents difficulties with corrosion and ensures a long service life for the fastening device according to the invention.
  • the fastening device is advantageously designed as a structural module and is designed for wet construction, installation in a niche, assembly between double columns and / or in combination with lightweight cladding.
  • FIG. 5 shows a special embodiment of the fastening device, the base body 2 of which has markings 72 on the front wall 4 in the form of numbers which are assigned to the various openings 20 and 21, respectively. With these markings 72, the correct assembly and insertion of the threaded bolts or the like suitable for the respective sanitary element is facilitated. On the pipe clamp 26 24 markings 74 are assigned to the side of the lower recess, which likewise facilitate the correct insertion of the pipe clamp 26. Finally, the adjustment rail 38 is also provided with markings 76 which ensure proper positioning adapted to the sanitary element. In the interior of the box 36, pins 78 for fastening a valve or the like can also be seen.
  • a partition 80 is provided inside the box, which is used for electrical insulation between water-carrying parts and the electrical connections, for example an electromagnetic valve.
  • receptacles 82 for screws in the corner areas by means of which the box 36 which is open at the front can be closed after the installation work has been carried out and carried out.
  • the box 36 contains a frame or flange 84 in the region of the front edge 37.
  • the front side of the flange 84 visible here lies essentially in the same plane as the front surface 86 of the front wall 4. At the upper end of the front wall, this contains one Recess 88 in which the flange 84 abuts with its lower end after the receiving unit 34 has been pushed completely down.
  • the box 36 also contains lateral openings 90, 92 through which lines, be it electrical lines or water lines, can be passed. A lateral connection of the above-mentioned lines is thus possible without any problems and a small installation depth can be implemented without any special elbows, elbows or the like.
