  • the screw bolt is asymmetrical is connected to the holding plate, so that by relocating the holding plate in the undercut groove the carrier plate different orientations of the axis of the bolt to that by the arrangement of the axle part or the pin on the top of the holding plate predetermined orientation is possible.
  • a further embodiment of the invention is for fastening arrangements of toilet seats, especially in the Embodiments according to the invention described above, but also for conventional mounting arrangements pressure ring that can be pushed onto the screw bolt, one up to the free end of the bolt has conically widening push-through opening, and a clamping nut is provided for the screw bolt a base body provided with a smooth through hole which is followed by a threaded part, the at least one resilient, on the inside with has part of the thread provided tongue that on the outside with a tapered end of the tongue conical pressure surface is provided.
  • the thread on the resilient tongue is in the usual form with the thread of the bolt engaged so that the Clamping nut can be screwed on normally.
  • the design has the advantage that the clamping nut for assembly without turning the bolt axially so far can be pushed on until the free end of the resilient, threaded tongue into the conical extension of the push-through opening on the pressure ring.
  • the tension nut is initially in the axial direction according to Art held by a spring ratchet. Only when conical Pressure surface of the tongue on the corresponding counter surface Do not move the tongue outwards on the pressure ring the nut is screwed in the usual way, being over the conical surface of the pressure ring on the one hand and the conical pressure surface on the tongue on the other hand an increasingly radially inward direction acting contact force between the bolt and the Threaded part of the tongue of the clamping nut takes effect, so that a reliable screw connection is given.
  • the clamping nut is designed so that two in Axes seen diametrically opposite tongues are provided with a threaded part, so that on the one hand a perfect pluggability of the clamping nut up to Stop on the pressure ring is guaranteed and on the other but an effective screw connection is possible.
